An obituary for Dark Sky, which changed how people consume weather forecasts but is disparaged by scientists, as Apple plans to kill the iOS app on January 1

At the end of this year, Dark Sky—the popular, sleek, sometimes accurate weather app—will go dark, its various components ambiguously incorporated …

Bad decision by Apple, which has a boring app. Dark Sky was perfect for predicting precipitation in the next hour. If you miss the map, try Radarscope. If you miss fun, try the more accurate Carrot Weather in overkill mode https://slate.com/...

It's possible to believe Twitter made the wrong call on limiting a news article and the right call on deleting stolen pictures of genitalia while also noting the right of an owner to decide what it allows to be published on its site.
