First impressions:

- Cool a new writing app. I was looking for one of those (seriously)

- The first thing i noticed was the content. My eyes totally skipped over the writing are.

- I can start typing right away. Yay.

- I can use google auth. Double Yay!

- Overall concept is easy to understand and adds value.

Feedback:

- kudos for releasing. That is a milestone many don't reach.

- Quite a bit too monochrome. The muted colors take away from the marketing message. On the landing page, you can get a bit more poppy and save the mutedness for the actual writing area.

- Landing page as primary interface is an interesting choice. On the plus side, you can start writing immediately, which is kind of awesome. On the other hand, your landing page content describing the hotness feels like so much clutter as a result.

- Using the landing page as the primary interface means that the typing area is quite restricted in size. I saw that you can go full screen, but I just want to have the rest of my browser window work.

- Halfway-adaptive design. Your site is smart enough to deal with browser window resizing, but why force me to a certain maximum width for writing?

- I like all the writing gamification and timing features

- The marketing content is presented in a quite dense way. You could add a lot of white space and get more 'bang' for you work. As it is, so many features are packed in that individually, they don't get the impact they deserve.

- The marketing content comes off a bit too much feature driven. Almost like it was a feature description from a spec document. You could shorten the text up and cut it down by half and get more from it.

- The design aesthetic seems to me a curious mix of muted and restrained, and yet still feels packed and cluttered. Consider adding some more white space and softening some edges.

I've got more but this is probably enough to start.
BlackBerry Mobile announces pop-up showroom to show off the BlackBerry KEY2
Oh, it might be valid, in regards to the magazine, alright. It just smacks of hypocrisy when their research is pretty much bound to be used for unethical purposes.
Metafilter started with premise but it grew into something so obnoxious imo.
I think the point is, much like offensiveness toxicity is something that is percieved and not objectively determined. Some users and groups may be perceived to be toxic, while much of the user base may consider it positive. Two examples would be the_Donald and /r/late_stage_capitalism. Lot of people think those subreddits are toxic, but lots of users also like and participate in those subreddits.
Thats what you get with Google TPUs on reference models. The ImageNet numbers are from RiseML, the rest is from here - https://youtu.be/zEOtG-ChmZE?t=1079
Could you possibly be more out of the loop, and yet confident you're in the loop?

C99 is a huge leap, then there's _Generic, _Atomic, etc in C11.
I liked Safari, but I stopped buying computing books in general. The information contained within is often outdated almost immediately, misses a lot of nuance found in discussion (e.g. Stackoverflow), and is often harder to search than other digital resources.

There's a couple of books that I still buy, but the concepts contained within are evergreen (e.g. people management, project scheduling, Windows Internals, etc). Web development just moves too fast, even if you're stuck supporting IE11.
If they did, they wouldn't need the media to find the problems for them. Without CR reviewing every update, how confident can you be that they won't regress the braking?

> If you write code on .NET, you should adopt this release ASAP. Doubly so if you care about runtime performance.

I care about performance, but:

Still have customers on .NET 4.0.

.NET Core 2.1 doesn't do EF6, Forms or WPF, need to wait for 3.0 for that.

Not all third party libraries are already on Core.

Given all that, Core 2.1 is full of goodies that I will surely play around with.
I would have a super comfortable office I am to spend any time in it.

* I would go for a Herman Miller Aeron chair, I have been using one since 2005

* I would want a high ceiling and good sound acoustics if I wanted to play music. Also good sound proofing in case there is a lot of external noise.

* I would want a set of shelves on one wall to store books

* I would want windows for natural light

* Ideally I would have a zone for heating and cooling or other devices to keep the temperature at a setting I like.

* I would want a really soft couch that is easy to nap on if I decided I needed to short rest.
Does 3D xpoint have a need for wear leveling? It's a fundamentally different technology than NAND flash. The numbers stated are very close to what you get out of spinning rust in the enterprise space.
>So if you're working in sales you can't get reimbursement your engineering degree but you can get your marketing degree.

I suspect that's not true at many companies. I certainly know engineers who have had MBAs subsidized.
I don't think Steve is stupid enough to make the new design compulsory. He has mentioned hundreds of times how the redesign killed Digg. Old users would keep using Reddit by visiting old.reddit.com (or by opting out of redesign). They are not going anywhere.
It's real tough getting cash in this industry, isn't it?
Start investing now. In 10 years you'll have a small fortune.
Restricting CSS and wikis to be standardized is fantastic - it means that mobile users and desktop users might actually get to see the same subreddit.
Really interesting stuff! Will share.
>There should be Moore's/ Poe's law for the correlation of the size and influence of a site to the amount of corporate influence on said site.

For parody subreddits, I think there's a rule that at 80k subs, it starts to become the very thing it was parodying in the first place
Sorry, I don't really "preach" (at least unsolicited) because people don't generally like being preached to and this is a topic that is incredibly emotional for some people for some reason.

The idea someone would worry replacing expensive trinkets with cheaper but similar looking trinkets might damage your marriage is extremely foreign to me! I can say that much at least!

Plus I don't know many impressionable young women these days because I'm approaching 40 and the majority of my friends are already married or no longer impressionable. :)
It's not. The amount of places where you can get by without having your own car is pretty small in this country.
The profit of the organized crime does not come from murders. Trafficking, racket, large scale fraud are the means of a criminal enterprise.
On the internet of 2018 sites like Reddit/FB/YouTube/Twitter are perceived to have VALUE to users for just one simple reason - instant validation of whatever bull is flitting thro their minds.

The like/upvote/view/retweet counts never existed next to every thoughtful or thoughtless utterances prior to these sites. Just as in the real world. And just as it should have been. Everything your mom says doesn't need a popularity score next it.

The ppl who defend these sites have blindly accepted that popularity scores next to every thought/speech/action have no downside.

These days I don't even expect them to overcome that blindness which is why comments like yours will always get down voted despite the common sense in them.

If an catastrophic event occurs as a result of multiple necessary conditions, and one of those necessary conditions (even if not sufficient) is that some human was doing something they shouldn't have been doing, then of course it's that human's fault. Cause follows blame. We basically use "cause" as a synonym for "blame" in that situation.

If there is no human there to blame do we then say that the cause is a coincidental combination of multiple spontaneous conditions, all necessary but not sufficient by themselves.
In europe ISPs dont have monopolies. Thats legitimate - the government should interfere to make sure there are options. This doesnt make the law right though because then

is like stating that users are idiots that need a nanny state.
> Look up the history of banking or healthcare before it was regulated.

Look at the history of banking or healthcare after it was regulated. Costs spiraling out of control, people dying of preventable diseases because they can't afford health insurance, the housing bubble, too big to fail, etc.
Wouldn't removing the down button just end up with more trolling, and wouldn't the same stuff sink to the bottom anyways as it's passed over for the more upvoted material?
There are several sites out there that archive reddit threads. Someone could still find the account name to a comment.

That said, using accounts with throwaway names will keep you pretty anonymous on its own.
How can we know if a solution is effective if we have not studied it thoroughly enough? There might be use cases for blockchain that have yet to be probed. It's certainly being taken seriously in the finance industry, especially in terms of financial records-keeping and accounting for governance by regulatory bodies.
Just like Twitter; but most of those millions of eyeballs aren’t posting anything.

I will tell you that South Dakota absolutely does not have that, and unless you're in the dorms of one of the schools and can bum a ride with someone who's already going, a car is required.
UWP uses .NET Core alongside .NET Native toolchain.

> I feel that the only reason to spend $5,000 on a watch is so that you can show off to other people that you can afford to piss away $5,000 on a watch

This is everywhere and unfortunately a somewhat important social dynamic. I mean, what do you really think an MBA is? It's someone who can prove they can not work for two years and throw away $100k+ to party. And Goldman/McKinsey want to hire people who are part of the social class that can do that.
It should also be noted for those saying "well the Optane ssd's are fast but not THAT fast" A large majority of the latency from those drives is the PCIe layer.
I haven't seen an official statement for this yet. If he's planning to do that, great! Until then.. I'm thinking we're probably all migrating to a facebook-like experience soon.
They care because unemployment is low.
recent redesign massively increased ads and "recommended posts" as well as many users/communities being banned for being NSFW.
How do you avoid being in a bubble? Usually of your own creation. Whether it is curating the subreddits you see, or selecting the news sites you visit, you are only ever going to see a tiny fraction of what's going on in the world.

I skip pretty much all the political and news subreddits and stick to the focused communities that match my interest. Things like r/3dprinting, or r/omscs, etc. I find most communities are decent as long as they're not enormous. Any significant political content and I bail, I am just too tired of being reminded how horrible many people are.
I agree if what the person is selling is solving a well understood problem. But what if it's something that you hadn't really thought much about before and need to take some time to wrap your head around? In sales, I think it's generally a mistake to talk about pricing until you've established the value of what you're offering first, which is where I think this advice is coming from.
This guy seems to have a lot of freedom to experiment. I am considering doing the same, but knuckle down on a single idea, born from identifying a real problem people are willing to pay for (enough to make a living).

Boost is great on Android.
I've made reddit more enjoyable in the past by using plugins that auto collapse comments past depth 1 or 2. On avg, conversation devolves past that point.

I've since quit Reddit but comments here have convinced me to take a second look. I think this time around I will put even more filters in place, like no subreddits with over 10k subs, and some way to hide everyone's karma count including my own.

I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe you and I don't need a pay wall to filter, we just need an opinionated browser plugin (or easy way to share settings in RES)
Then they will be above average college students.
I agree. The amount of the network, data center engineering resources between facebook and reddit aren't even on the same magnitude.

Yes. Lying about harmful products you are selling is something unethical to my taste. At this point, I expect you to disagree.

Firefox still haven't fixed a privacy bug of keeping a record of all your closed tabs in private mode. You can all try by opening several tabs, going to any sites of your choosing and closeing them. If you invoke, reopen last closed tabs, all of them returns.

This simply doesn't happen in Safari and Chrome. I reported this issue some time back and someone at Firfeox said this is not an issue.

So if I left my private window open, but with no tabs, someone can always retrace my steps even though I've closed all my tabs. How's that for privacy?
Right that's basically Poe's law. Paraphrasing here but: "When a subject becomes sufficiently extreme, it becomes nearly impossible to differentiate serious discussion from satire".

I was thinking a combination of Poe's approach to subject matter with Moore's approach to the increase of transistors (users/ traffic in this analogue) over a period of time.
> Regarding the learning to drive: I'd highly recommend taking your daily driving car to a defensive driving type course that includes a skid pan. That way you can experience what your car feels like during an emergency break, with ABS, during hydroplaning in a safe environment. This is something that could literally save your life, because you won't be surprised by how your car feels when it happens on the road.

This is mandatory to get a licence in some jurisdictions. Including experiencing the effect of tire wear, and having the best tires front/back.
While being technically correct, that is still much smaller than 512 or 4K blocks.
What makes this so hard? Why can’t browsers just treat the page size as a viewport? Is the problem dealing with page breaks?

and again, you literally have no data at all, sufficient or not, to back up your claims. Instead, you just shit on all data that doesn't agree with your pet theory as insufficient.

I'll take insufficient data over zero data any day of the week.
I assume you are being sarcastic. How do you put off $1M in assets with a $200k median salary in four years? $200k x 4 x 65% is just $520k without even any expenses paid such as the ~$72k you would have paid for a room in a shared apartment.
Well, I have the car and stopping distance was never an issue at all. With regenerative braking you start braking as soon as you take your foot of the gas so you’re usually stopping short of where you actually need to stop, not having trouble stopping fast enough. I really don’t think it was that big of a deal, but it could be fixed and so they did it to get the recommendation. And im sure it’s safer too which is what’s most important.
I did tutoring while I was getting my MBA. Yep. Basically the first year quant courses: stats, micro, accounting, finance, ops. There were students I tutored whose math basically ended with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I actually had one ask me to explain graphs (as in cartesian coordinates) to them.

You can also find a number of books written about 1st year MBA experiences on this general theme.
If old media advertising is so great, then why is it necessary to collect more and more data about individuals, up to the point where you can target them personally? Would you call TV advertising a productization of the consumer?

Why do e.g. FB not offer a level of service that is viable without personally identifiable information being used for targeting?

There seems to be a BIG difference in the effectiveness and mechanisms of statistical target groups vs. individual targeting. If you've followed the Cambridge Analytica scandal, you know to what degree this information can be abused.
I am also a long time reddit user, 10 or so years at this point. It's not obvious to me that reddit is particularly different than it was in the past. There's just more of it now.

The main difference is that only the central authority can produce a penny.

In the case of cryptocurrency everyone is entitled and able to produce it. So there is direct competition and open market for creating "coins".

Would you pay $7300 for a bitcoin if you can produce it yourself for $1? Or why would not someone sell it for $5? At the moment, the price for producing a bitcoin is very close to the market or exchange value.
Interesting. It would be similar to this concept in American sports, where a team like the New York Yankees (the San Francisco housing market of baseball) can keep their economic advantage but has to pay a tax on it, the proceeds going to less-profligate teams so they can remain somewhat competitive:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_tax_(sports)

I guess the real difficulty would be measuring how high San Francisco's housing-supply border wall is.
The problem is that by micromanaging, the commission violates the principle of subsidiarity. This is not the first time and I generally don’t have much trust in anyone who disregards his own stated principles whenever convenient.
Why doesn't reddit try to roll out an enterprise product?

I'm sure a lot of companies would be willing to pay to have an interface like reddit internally. Most current solutions for this problem aren't very good and I feel like reddit could be a good alternative. (not the redesign though, loading times on that would make it basically unusable)
I've tried to summarize here:

I didn't know IMDB even had forums. And they're gone.
What many inside the SV bubble may forget is how miserable day-to-day life can be in SV, as compared to flyover country.

How's $3600 a month in rent grab you? $500k for a down payment on a teardown? An added 30 minutes of commute time on a dingy BART train or averaging 6mph on the 101? Homeless camps and stale urine smells next to multi-millionnaire's homes and offices?

Finding, making, and keeping friends in the valley is double-difficult, because everyone's under such pressure to work extra hours, and the area isn't exactly renowned for its people skills.

If you're looking to settle down and raise a family, you might find the odds are pretty good in SV, though (in terms of single people in that age range that are family-minded and also worth marrying). At least until your kids need daycare.

As someone who's dipped a toe in both, I'd actually recommend giving further thought to the DOE deal. You might even be more fundable (and hirable!) after 15 years' DOE experience, moving to SV, than after 15 years' startup experience in SV.
> What's to stop other groups from starting more focused subreddits?

Nothing, and as you point out, many do. At the same time, default is a powerful thing.

I'm a mod for /r/cscareerquestions, and while we're ostensibly non-political, the fact that we try to keep a minimum bar of 'professionalism' means having norms that are somewhat left-leaning. As an example of what I mean, "it's less important for women to have strong careers than men" is a very common opinion among social conservatives, but we'll ban posters who say things like that because, well, it's sexist and unprofessional. This kind of thing isn't limited solely to right-leaning opinions, but it doesn't tend to be that way more than if it for left-leaning opinions, I think.
Clearly in this case it was limited by a software bug/limitation. Tesla did not push an over the air update that changed the tires, grip, or weight transfer.

(Actually, I guess they did change the weight transfer, by increasing deceleration.)
You might want to keep in mind that making cost estimates for proposals is how developers get to influence the planning process. If you skip this, you're giving up your power.
I suspect this is due to a firewall between the types of content. I don't remember what interview I was listening to years ago, but I think it was Matt Cutts who said that Google has a whole porn team that makes sure that when you want porn, you get the most relevant porn sites and when you don't want porn, you get none.

I think Reddit is in the same boat. People don't avoid Google ads because they might end up on porn; in fact, lots of products only want to be placed next to porn.
We never really worried about write endurance with dynamic RAM, but it would seem to be a lot busier than disk I/O at least in some server applications.
Why doesn't SF have a better ferry system? Almost everything in the bay area is within 5min of... the bay. Seems like a no-brainer. What's the hold up?

My ability to talk at length about what's wrong with a language corresponds directly with how well I know and love the language.
Following this rationale, one would also argue that requiring companies to use plain English in privacy policies is a constraint on the end-user's freedom.

How so? Point to the quote?
Clue: it is sarcastic.
Not everyone earns Valley salaries. Especially not those outside the US in third-world countries.

And some, like myself had their life savings wiped out when life got cute.

Anyway, glad OP has the opportunity to do what he's doing. Didn't mean to sidetrack the conversation. Just always find it amazing how we all live in vastly different worlds.
"I'd like a reddit-like site that is more exclusive, it filters out the non-serious users with a yearly subscription fee of say $100."

This exists: https://www.metafilter.com/

The fee is $5 which turns out to be an insurmountable barrier for just about everyone. I personally like the site very much.
