Alexa. Siri. Cortana. Bixby. Duer. Google Assistant. How many of them you know is almost irrelevant and probably almost nothing compared to how much they know about you.

@DrNickA @owocki Yes. Any sort of agreement has to include multiple intentions that overlap and interact in particular ways, as well as expressions (and the sequence of expressions matters too!)

@OctantApp It might mean you could benefit from checking out @Eydle_

@kentcdodds Homograph attack or funky font settings?
Bad UX?
Setting a .value that is set by a React property elsewhere?
False reliance on this to guarantee that the input value will be lowercase when it could be changed programmatically w/out event or overridden/ignored by an advanced user?

@AhmarSKhan The strong references to binary genders of all parties seems like an unfortunate convention in this particular case & in other hate crimes against the LGBTQIA+ community, especially if those labels are assumed instead of provided by the individuals.

@Brandon_Iceberg @9to5Google @technacity Key aspects of Google Domains' features will stop working (e.g. DNSSEC, since SquareSpace doesn't offer that). Selling the customer list is pretty different than selling the whole business expecting it will continue operating as-is.

@EFF @_falsemirror Though it's 5 1/4 years old, this post by @VitalikButerin seems like a relevant response: https://t.co/rNl8X7J0Im

@tunguz I'll apply but only because getting this time machine working has really altered my time/cost tradeoff.

House Rules procedural vote today on US #debt #default (needs 7/9 R votes). https://t.co/ZeHXQPCX9h is clearly run by @GOP & has Twitter link on bottom encouraging follow of @RulesReps but the hyperlink actually goes to @RulesDemocrats. Long holdover + tech #ignorance? 🍿 ready.

[Chip Roy @chiproytx]

A reminder that during Speaker negotiations to build the coalition, that it was explicit both that nothing would pass Rules Committee without AT LEAST 7 GOP votes - AND that the Committee would not allow reporting out rules without unanimous Republican votes. #DebtCeiling

@MakeAugusta Taking a moment to review plans on upgrade day for the water cooling system, which required getting in the big tank on the roof. The heels were just normal professional dress code requirements.

@QuinnyPig False. You CAN visit both in the same day.

@dmejiacanales Be more careful around things like that than Russian pro-war bloggers!

@reactjs Also, the survey linked to at the bottom repeatedly emphasizes how the docs are hosted at https://t.co/O7V4isN135 which is no longer true; please take down the outdated survey link if no longer paying attention to it & update text if you are.

@reactjs I've noticed some funky scrolling behaviors with pages jumping around in the new docs, and now have a clear example, checking to see if https://t.co/dEFY1Amf5A has been answered yet. Go to the URL in the screenshots, scroll down slowly, & notice this big jump for one small step.

@rickyfm @reactjs Thoughts when I saw the error: "That's a pretty huge bug! Wait, I know it said they were in beta, but still... oh wait, maybe they just as of now switched out of beta. I'll check Twitter to see if there was some announcement. Hah, that's it!"

[Tech Researcher @SocScaleTech]

@rickyfm @reactjs From a preloaded tab with the beta site, I clicked on any link (example is to https://t.co/Y1huPPf8pu) and got this:
