So he's reporting on what people on social media are saying... which is just continuing the initial misinterpretation of what Cloudflare meant by "Russian bots".
> Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded in the past two weeks
Cloudflare doesn't track twitter posts, does it? But requests to sites on its network. The kind of thing Yandex's search crawlers would be hitting.
Also note (I think) the TH article also initially claimed this was talking about bot posts on social media, but now doesn't?
The quoted tweet says that 21-29% of traffic on twitter is bots.
It doesn't say anything about 29% of traffic having actually measurably stopped, does it?
Elsewhere on HN people are pointing out that the "bot traffic" coming from yandex that has stopped is the web scraper bots updating their search engine.
> future zoned datetime carry outright uncertainty as to their actual location on the timeline (as the zone’s offset can be updated at any point and any number of times until the event has elapsed)
I wondered if it would be worth applying a (optional?) version to a timezone when stored, so you could distinguish between "whenever it is this time in Perth" vs "when I currently think this time will be in Perth, though if Perth changes its mind on how it offsets time, I want to keep what time I currently think that will be".
But you're right, that doesn't really add anything over storing it as UTC.
> We let them know we weren't going to renew and they sent these unsolicited emails and popups in their app to all of the users who had licenses
Not "our app".
If we have to come up with a technological solution to grant anonymity when people are filming, criminals can use it.
If we as a society don't go around filming everyone all the time, we don't need that technical solution available, so we can film the criminals when they are doing something criminal.
And from this we can extrapolate what flip flops would be called if we had three feet!

Heh, while we're discussing English, this annoys me.
"The further back you go" is a continuum, the effect you describe should be too.
> The further back you go, the fewer Indo-European languages have articles.
Or match a discontinuity with a discontinuity.
> If you go back beyond a certain point, Indo-European languages don't have articles.
I'm going to a bank, a shop, a dentist - I've found a new one and I may well be about to describe it to you.
"A nice evening" - there have been ones before, there hopefully will be again, this was one of them.
GP's should be used when offering a specific one, like "the red one".
OP here looks innocent enough at least.
