I do not know if it makes financial sense, but I would be very interested in trying out a new Reddit with a more representative subreddit moderators.

Currently, moderators are selected with little input from the community members. Because mods produce the content policies of a community, members don't have the most effective tools to effect the policies of their communities (where they can spend a lot of time and effort).

Ideally, moderators would be selected by vote but that's a challenge of its own. I would still like to see more democratic forms of mod selection, it would also keep them accountable from abusing their power (arbitrary banning, censoring and/or taking bribes from corporations).
I strongly disagree and for exactly the same reason you gave: because there wouldn't be any need to differentiate on technical differences. Once all developers have cross-compiled their apps, the only difference between an ARM and x86 MacBook would end up being the ability to run Windows natively.

And yet, it's also ridiculously wrong to claim that Apple doesn't "differentiate on technical differences". While that's certainly true for their non-Mac products, Mac products have mostly stuck to the same formula used by Dell and HP.

Sure, Apple do place more emphasis on whole-product benefits and less emphasis on technical minutiae, but even that's splitting hairs. For example while they don't mention Intel's precise CPU product numbers in literature, they still differentiate SKUs based on tech specs like Intel Turbo Boost speeds. And when you buy an iMac, they'll still let you pick between the Radeon Pro 570X, 575X, 580X, or BTO the "Radeon Pro Vega 48 with 8GB of HBM2 memory".

I think they can handle a few products having an "Apple CPU".
I think Upwork is a huge waste of time
Hi, original author here.

Yes, I'm talking about Apple Macs, specifically. I am not aware of any other Apple product line that has transitioned from any one processor architecture to another different one while maintaining any form of software compatibility; are you?

Non-computers don't matter. Nobody cares if a laser printer has the same CPU as the previous generation of laser printer, so long as it still prints and there's a driver. Nobody cares if a new iPod has a different CPU, because iPods didn't run apps.

The iOS line has never made a CPU transition, so there's nothing to write about. It's ARM as it's always been. 32-bit to 64-bit is no big deal; I did a FOSDEM talk on this theme a fortnight ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22265615

Only Apple's Mac made a journey like this, so there's nothing else to talk about. The Apple IIGS had a different CPU but was backwards-compatible; no transition involved.

It ends around 2008 because by then Apple was making 64-bit dual-core x86 machines with 64-bit UEFI and they still are. That was their last transition so far. There's nothing more to say.

Its an interesting design problem ie UX. If I force log-ins or abusive pop-ups I end up making the problem worse.

What Reddit needs is a very creative UX solution. Something of value that gets presented in the app but is not inthe mobile-web version delivered via browser.

Some app interaction rather than some extra content. Something interactive that is exclusive to the mobile app. Not something big interaction wise but just enough value that people start using the mobile app over mobile web via browser.

thanks for user that posted the question as I have a UX interview with a Chicago startup that is somewhat facing this problem and several other UX problems around driving their mobile app use upwards. The question help me formulate how to solve it.
I'm not entirely sure how moral rights of authors operates under US law, when or whether such rights extinguish, or what the penalties for infringement are. Under EU copyright, this is a quite strong provision.

US governing law would seem to be 17 USC 106A, noting it applies specifically to visual work (as in this case):

Rights of Attribution and Integrity.—Subject to section 107 and independent of the exclusive rights provided in section 106, the author of a work of visual art—

(1)shall have the right—

(A)to claim authorship of that work, and

(B)to prevent the use of his or her name as the author of any work of visual art which he or she did not create;

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106A

Under 17USC106A(d)(1) the rights "shall endure for a term consisting of the life of the author.*

The 107 exemptions are for fair use, which would not apply to Getty's usage claiming exclusive rights.

The broader problem would seem to be that releasing works to the public domain cedes critical rights, most especially of enforcement against misappropriation or unsupported claims of copyright. Getty clearly might be (and per some comments on this thread are) engaging in little more than shake-down rackets based on specious copyright claims.

An attention-grabbing penalty for such behaviour seems warranted.

Apparently US courts see the sanctity of privately or corporately-owned property, but not the property of the public as a whole (public domain).
Hi. Original blog post author here.

Not really, no.

I was there and used and supported these machines throughout.

There was a CDEV available at the time. I can't find it any more. It placed an "indicator light" in your menu bar, which glowed red when the OS was executing 68K code and green for PowerPC code. I installed it on all the machines I could.

It sat there red 99% of the time. Occasionally it flashed green briefly. Only a very few very-CPU-intensive apps made it stay green: applying large Photoshop filters, for example.

Even by MacOS 9.2.2 in my normal usage, browsing the web, doing email and spreadsheets and chat, and writing, it stayed red most of the time. PowerPC-native browsers such as WAMCOM call OS code all the time, and the OS code mostly stayed 68K.

As for it being the low-effort move, I specifically addressed this point.

I think it's both. It just doesn't authorize the user for anything special.
That's why people who specifically do not want their art to be exploited by big corporations like Getty Images should never use the "public domain" license period. It's ripe for abuse. Consult a lawyer and create your own special license, or use creative commons.

> The problem here was trying to enforce on something that was obviously non-exclusive.

No problem here, only Getty Images acting in bad faith. They know very well how the photographies are licensed and are abusing their position to "threaten" people and businesses who don't know better. It's morally reprehensible as a business model, legal, but scummy.

Total world landmass: 57,510,000 miles squared.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen...

2500 miles * 2500 miles * pi = 19,630,000 miles squared

So that area represents about (19.63 / 57.51 ) 34% of the total world landmass. So 50% of humans live in 34% of the landmass. But harsh and relatively uninhabitable lands make up a large portion of the earth's landmass

( antarctica - 5,400,000, siberia - 5,100,000, canada - 3,511,023, australia - 2,947,336, , greenland - 836,330) = 17.8 million square miles.

So the habitable areas are 57.51 - 17.8 = 39.71 million miles squared.

So that circle represents ( 19.63 / 39.71 ) 49.4% of the habitable land.

So in the end, about 50% of the world population lives in about 50% of the world's habitable land.

Astounding huh? It's amazing what some math and common sense and understanding of geography takes away from a clickbait article based on a reddit post.

As others have noted, that area is also primed for human habitation due to tons of fresh water rivers flowing from the tibetan plateau and rich fertile land along with year-round planting seasons due to its proximity to the equator.
Instagram UX is horrible in my opinion. For anyone who knows to, say rename a file, Instagram UI / UX appear worst of class. You can't find many settings.

But it continues to be popular. Arguably young people are stupid. I mean most people of my age use Instagram and I will have to.

The very definition of modern public-key crypto is that it doesn't use RSA :)

Cracking the RSA encryption system as implemented by someone reading a lecture like this is straightforward. Heck, "padding" doesn't even appear in it, most university slides at least mention "oh by the way, this thing's pretty useless without padding".

In my opinion this article falls squarely in the "talking about RSA considered harmful" category: showing textbook RSA, then saying it [RSA] is secure, without mentioning how hard it actually is to achieve that.

Hi. Author of the piece here.

The reason I skipped it is addressed in an earlier comment: there was no code transition. The 65C816 ran 6502 code natively. Yes there was a bit of native code, but if Apple had run the CPU at full speed, and devoted real effort to the IIGS, it would have killed the Mac off. It is, sadly, for the best that they didn't.

I speak as someone who never owned or used an Apple ][. I was born in Britain. When the Apple ][ was new, it cost as much as a car in Europe. My first and second computers were Sinclairs, and my 3rd was an Amstrad (who bought Sinclair).

The Apple ][ may have been the first home computer under US$1000 but in the UK that was a very large amount of money. Sinclair made the first home computers for under GBP 100, a far more important cost barrier for us.

I live across from an apple orchard, which is full of bird species getting along - or sometimes not. Pheasants, particularly, are really good at alerting us all to what's going on - so many times I've heard that horrendous squawk alter resonance ever so slightly, looked up, and noticed a marten making its rounds along the tree line .. everything gone quiet.

Then, along the same tree line, we'll often hear the birds get super chattery and obnoxious, and .. sure enough a few seconds later, along comes a red squirrel leaping from branch to branch, getting ever more miffed that its cover is blown.

Still, nothing quite beats the pheasants. They are truly the watchdogs of the neighbourhood. We've come to listen closely to their calls in spring and summer - its a drama playing right outside our window.

A Short Guide to the Chinese Coordinate System
If you were to use the configuration as code plugin, you can bootstrap and manage Jenkins via Git. Using HashiCorp Vault, you can integrate it with the credentials plugin.

I have yet to see a solution which is superior than Jenkins.

Sure enough, other tools like GitLab seem to work better at a first glance using Docker for your build slaves. But I can do all of this with Jenkins as well and much more.

Also the onboarding for developers looks nicer for GitLab on a first glance than for Jenkins. But later on you will start fighting triggers and yaml includes.

But in my opinion Jenkins is far better in composing technologies to adapt to your organization’s structure. Just because Docker is right now all the rage should not mean that your CI system has to have a hard requirement for it.
Ah thanks.
I disagree though, with JWT tokens and especially assuming you’re using the redirect flow, for the server especially, the server doesn’t need to know if the user was even authenticated as it could be another service calling it, it only needs to know that whoever is calling it is allowed to act on behalf of the user and perform certain actions. An example of this would be if you connect your email to a CRM system, the crm system at that point might have been authorised by the user to send emails on their behalf, or might have been authorised by an admin to send users on everyone’s behalf. In the case where an admin has given permission then the CRM system can send emails on everyone’s behalf even if the user themselves were never authenticated.
I believe it is the role of the IAM provider to authenticate the user, JWT tokens authorise callers to perform actions.

N95 masks (and other types of HEPA filters) actually perform better on smaller particles.

A very common misconception is that HEPA filters only filter particles larger than 0.3 microns. In fact there's multiple different filtration mechanisms at play, with interception and impaction working better for larger particles, and diffusion being more effective for smaller particles. HEPA filters are rated for their effectiveness at 0.3 microns because that size is the size where the combination of mechanisms operate worst: smaller and larger particles are filtered even more effectively.

If you look at the official data[0] 2016-2018 you get this:

Item 2016 2017 2018
--------------------------------------------------------------
Average income before taxes $74,664 $73,573 $78,635
Average annual expenditures 57,311 60,060 61,224

Which gives a net bonus of ~20% before taxes, with an average 25% tax rate (it depends a lot on
where you are, so I stayed low) you get around 15% net gain, excluding medical bills.

The average London household spend is around £650 per week[1] or £33.800 per year

The average London salary[2] is around £736.5 per year or £38.298 per year
which gives a net gain of over ~13%, but with medical bills included.

But you can easily make 70k-100k in London working in finance or SWE.

All in all is not that different (it actually is, UK is better on average, we are not even accounting for things like job seekers allowance - the dole in UK - or the benefits for having kids etc. etc.).
