Options they have so far:
• “Global”: as today, anyone can reply to a global tweet.
• “Group”: only people who you follow can reply, as well as anyone mentioned in the tweet.
• “Panel”: only people mentioned in the tweet can reply.
• “Statement”: no one can reply.
• "Certain-colored": anyone who grossly misuses tanning lotions or sprays.Of course, this will be of great help to people who want to lie or spread false information, because rebuttal will not be so practical.

It'll just re-solidify the platform as an echo-chamber. Twitter is a dumpster fire of the worst garbage anyway, this will probably help reduce a lot of the "hate" but will probably push people away from the platform too as they are not able to join in to tackle bad takes.
Another potential issue is with the recent court rulings in America that says Trump can't block people as it is against their 1A rights. Not just Trump, but any politician however high-level Democrats like AOC simply ignore this ruling and block anyway with no consequence. If they roll this system out no doubt courts will decree that Trump must leave his tweets open to all, but Democrats will set theirs so that only their cronies can respond. Again, breaking the law with zero consequence as it's laws for thee but not for me.

Well, yahoo! groups is closing, so twitter is probably hoping to take over that market, with hundreds of thousands of little private tweet groups.
It certainly demonstrates that twitter was a bad idea, when its lords and masters decide to roll back the clock and make it into just another "old-time" message-group/newsgroup/bulletin-board site -- but limited to 140 chars per posting (or whatever the limit is now).
It was a cute experiment, maybe, but even its owners seem to realise that it's time for the experiment to end.

But, yeah, Twitter is garbage along with Farcebook

I'm surprised you lasted that long. I was immediately turned-off. Why in the world would I want my phone buzzing at me constantly? Especially with drivel from any number of random idiots.

I did find that site amusing that listed all the people who were not at home, according to their tweets telling the world that they were having coffee at starbucks, or whatever.
Even that amusement only lasted for a few two-minute visits, though.

That was the joke -- and probably why they eventually had to take the site down.

The basic idea is developers would no longer need to explicitly add argument null checks to methods that accept non-nullable parameters. However, this has become quite contentious. "Nothing's gonna change my world"

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

Here are several ways in which we up-jumped apes are critical to software testing. Reason 0: The quality of (most) automated testing tools

Reason 6: No maschine will ever be able to simulate the stupidity of some users, you need another human to even come close to it

My dad (a former PhD physicist mind you) has managed to mess up his computer in spectacular ways. Once it was so spectacular, I tried to reproduce what he'd done; no amount of thinking and trying worked.

Microsoft Corp said on Thursday it aims to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits by 2030 and that by 2050, it hopes to have taken out enough to account for all the direct emissions the company has ever made. Every copy of Windows will have a tiny vacuum cleaner attached
And then the Linux folk who said, "Windows sucks!" will finally be right

For the first time in our Q2 2019 Developer Economics survey, we tried to introduce developers in their own words by asking them about how they see themselves. Reflected in their monitors usually

The responses said: nearly six out of ten developers say they are logical
Oh, don't get me started on "logical thinking".
