@freemo Well played. I concede the point.
@freemo Even the examples they give for the secondary definition that matches yours are archaic idioms.
If someone says "I dropped the check in the mail yesterday.", then no reasonable person would understand that to mean anything other than "the day before today."
Isn't it weird how "yesterday" means "exactly one day ago" but "yesteryear" means "an indeterminate number of years ago" and there's no such thing as yestermonth, yesterweek, or yesterhour?
@jeffjarvis Yeah, but the Microsoft of today is really not the Microsoft of yesteryear. Their commitment to open source and cross-platform development is a great example of that. They've earned the trust of a lot of us in tech, especially developers, since those more monopolistic days.

I've been looking at this thinking maybe we should do the same with API docs, illustrate the worst possible way to go about it just to trigger some gut checks.

One of my favourite (and oh so simple) hacker tricks is to abuse JSON support in APIs and pass TRUE instead of the actual API key. If the code does loose comparison, you don't need the key! 😎 😈 🍿

@BalooUriza No, without the car, it becomes a ruin, because people can't get to work, so they can't pay their rent, so they get evicted.
@kegill My apologies. It is also possible Apple News cached an earlier headline before it was modified.
Curiously, Politico currently has the maligned headline, almost word-for-word, on one of its articles:

Having trouble logging into Discord, and this was their support's response:
"Just to be sure, could you double-check to see if you’ve accidentally created a new account?"
@rjay Wait, what? Am I the only one that makes Kraft Mac & cheese with just water? The milk and butter are superfluous.
@kegill Wait. Why are you blaming Apple News for aggregating it and not the Alabama Reflector for writing it?
@Sheril Ugh. I'm not opposed to the idea in theory, but the end result can't look like you just have a roach infestation in your deep fryer.
@danimrich @darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle The OP was about pieces of tire less than 5mm ending up in waterways. That sounds pretty darn comparable to me.
@danimrich @darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle For example, this study put rubber bands in a river. In less than a year, they all decomposed enough to break.
@danimrich @darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle Depends on a lot of factors, like where it's disposed of and how well broken up it is. If you just put a tire in a concrete bunker, it could remain for thousands of years. But if you shred it and put it in among other biodegradables with a rich bacteria culture, it can be measured in a few decades.
@jeffjarvis So, in other words, they didn't learn their lesson from the link tax at all?
@danimrich @darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle Well, yeah, if they did, we wouldn't call them tires; we'd call them "compost". Just because they don't biodegrade immediately doesn't mean they don't biodegrade. There are many types of naturally-occurring microscopic life that are happy to eat polymerized rubber.
@w7voa "has to be used"? Or, what? It'll explode?
@urlyman @BrentToderian Maybe in the UK, where roads descend from ancient footpaths, it makes sense. But over here in the US, cities were designed around roads, and nothing is in walking distance. I'm not biking miles through 120 degree heat index to go to the grocery store, and neither is anyone else if they don't have to.
The biggest polluters are big industry. Trying to shift the burden to the average Joe is missing the point.
Besides, your graph there includes shipping and airplanes in the "transport" category, which won't go away if people drive less. If anything, we'll need a *more* robust logistics network to get goods closer to people who don't drive.
