@Mike_Wuerthele I think your answer is that Apple should insert itself into all commerce and you don’t want to irritate them by saying otherwise — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@Mike_Wuerthele What commerce should Apple not insert itself into — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@Mike_Wuerthele So you think Apple should insert itself into all commerce — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@Mike_Wuerthele Okay what should Apple not insert itself into on its phone — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@Mike_Wuerthele So you think Apple should insert itself into all digital commerce. Got it. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mike_Wuerthele Why isn’t this screen necessary for the Amazon app? — PolitiTweet.org

@davemurdock The App Store is full of scams, of course — PolitiTweet.org

@uhactually I think they are maximizing revenue at the expense of user experience — PolitiTweet.org

@uhactually Gosh they could just let people use the system account management tools with other billing systems — PolitiTweet.org

I famously bought my parents a Chromebook because a web browser appliance was more useful than an iPad and simpler to understand than a modern Mac https://t.co/418zeFL8Kw — PolitiTweet.org

@wheelsee @jimmylittle @AllenNBC4 But that is the case now under the current rules — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@jimmylittle @wheelsee @AllenNBC4 They already have to do this — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@wheelsee @AllenNBC4 The opposite, of course. The answer to that question should be “open the Spotify app, open settings, hit cancel” but a number of Apple business and design decisions make that answer not possible. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevekovach How dare you even consider leaving the safety of this house young man — PolitiTweet.org

At this point Safari is only there because it’s grandfathered in, someone at Apple has definitely proposed getting rid of the browser — PolitiTweet.org

Has there ever been clearer visual evidence that Apple thinks every interaction you have on an iPhone belongs to them https://t.co/6riQ616CKc https://t.co/1bYtq2xE6m — PolitiTweet.org

@martinpagh @fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @molly0xFFF @munecatmusic @smdiehl Thank you! But I am happy to hear criticism of any interview, I am not always on my game and all of the best lines of questions come from listener feedback anyhow ;) — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@molly0xFFF @fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @munecatmusic @smdiehl I thought your interview with Casey was great and I’m glad we ran it! Also I think your site is one of the most interesting news product presentations right now, really clever stuff — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@molly0xFFF @fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @munecatmusic @smdiehl Well sure. But I am not. — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @molly0xFFF @munecatmusic @smdiehl Only you can decide — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @KrisSiegel @verge @steveaoki Well then don’t listen! But you’ve burned more time tweeting at me than even skimming the actual work you want undone — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @molly0xFFF @munecatmusic @smdiehl Okay but that’s a doomed approach to making it go away. Paying more attention and pointing out the gaps in the answers will be more effective, I promise you — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @KrisSiegel @verge @steveaoki There is no evidence for that in the actual interview, which you have not read or listened to — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @KrisSiegel @verge @steveaoki Me ignoring it is not going to make it go away. In fact I think having these answers on the record in public will be illuminating for everyone figuring out what happened here. Also, you keep criticizing an interview you have not actually listened to — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @molly0xFFF @munecatmusic @smdiehl Read or listen to the actual interview! You are assuming everyone is a lot dumber than you, which is always a mistake — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@KrisSiegel @fl0atplane @verge @steveaoki I guess read or listen to the actual interview — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki @molly0xFFF @munecatmusic @smdiehl I think they are all doing very interesting work but also pretty explicitly advocating a position, while my show is designed to produce primary-source on-the-record interviews, which is a different posture — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @KrisSiegel @verge @steveaoki Yes, exactly: when there is this much money and energy and attention flowing to something it is literally the work of journalism to ask questions about it. I trust our audience to judge the actual answers — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@fl0atplane @petegaines @verge @steveaoki Well then this criticism is just “I wish it would go away” which is fine but not really going to accomplish anything — PolitiTweet.org
