Claiming delay compensation if you don’t have intent to travel is the fraud part.
Easiest example is if you have a season ticket, but you have the day off. You weren’t going to take the train to work that day, so no intent to travel. If you claim DR, then that’s fraud for the compensation.
This is such a detailed article but it's giving me weird vibes.
For instance there are all these drops to near-zero in the histograms at .28, .46, .56 for no clear reason, and the article doesn't even consider that noteworthy.
The "Men Like ratio (y) vs ratio (x)" has an inexplicable wall around .33 which I could only explain with some sort of product limitation maybe? But I really wish it was explained what artifacts the product introduces.
Since there's a spike followed by a drop, it seems like some of the data points are "misattributed" to the neighboring bucket.
Since it happens at the same place in each graph (eg a spike at 0.28-0.29, followed by a drop at 0.29-0.30) I wonder if it's some kind of number-theoretic effect from the fact it's actually a ratio of integers. For example, with less than 20 views there's no way to get to the 0.29-0.30 bucket, but 4 ways to get into the 0.28-0.29 bucket. Hmm.
Definitely points to some rounding error, aliasing in the data. It would be fixed by making the buckets larger. No reason for the buckets to be that small.
The sayings are "the dose makes the poison." or "The solution is dilution."
I've found over time that neither aphorism is true. The poison is poison, regardless. Caffeine, Sugar, Plastic, Alcohol, Social media --- all bad like arsenic, but tastier (or more useful).
I want to drink some sugar free beverage that's not just water, and find that my only option is typically caffeinated (or alcoholic, which is nearly the same as sugar).
So indeed, decreasing poison intake is a good thing. Since life is inevitability fatal, I'll probably not go to the extreme of eliminating any of those.

Oh, I don't even want it to taste sweet; cold black coffee is my typical beverage; I've had to switch to decaf just to keep my resting heart rate somewhere below 100bpm...
There is a recommended upper limit, your comment makes it sound like sugar is a requirement. I think some people might still believe you "need" sugar, I certainly grew up with that notion.
Would love to know myself as well, but I haven't seen any. I'd imagine there's at least some demand in the Bay Area for events like this? We get a good amount of electronic/dance shows already, and the underground scene still exists at least a bit. I've pondered throwing some events or even opening a venue like this, but don't currently have the right connections/resources.
I've been thinking about this the last few days after someone pointed out he gets a lot more engagement on Bluesky.
One thing I still think not all people account for is that as far as I can see:
- followers on "older" accounts on Twitter probably includes a lot of accounts that will not create activity, either because they have been outright abandoned or because they are used read only (this last effect is probably amplified because twitter now demand people to be logged in to see replies).
- I'll also suggest that it is reasonable to think that the most enthusiastic part of the userbase will be the first ones to join a new platform
Right, that's the point, follower counts on Twitter aren't meaningful anymore because it's a deprecated old platform with all the cruft of a long history of abandoned accounts, forgotten bots, spam accounts, etc.
The reason is pretty much irrelevant, either engagement on Twitter is artificially lower because of algorithm shenanigans, or because it's becoming a ghost town of abandoned accounts and spam bots. Neither option is a compelling reason to stay on Twitter
I wonder what's the motivation for a normal person to leave replies on Twitter anymore. The top replies will be porn spam and other blue check self promotion bullshit. In hindsight it makes sense the people left on Twitter would continue to post into the void but not engage.
That pay-for-attention reply prioritisation thing really was the most bizarre product decision. Like, everyone already knew it didn’t work; dating apps have been dealing with the problems with pay for attention for about 25 years now.
I updated my macOS and iOS device as soon as I could because I was curious to finally see how these features will work.
Turns out it's not even available today! The Apple Intelligence settings just showed a "Join waitlist" button, I clicked it and it says "You'll be notified when Apple Intelligence is available for [you]".
This bug was added for those who open BBC Weather in a rush to hide the actual page they were looking at before. The hurricane news make it look more plausible that you were looking at something interesting on the weather page.
