Irrespective of the acquisition, I do not think people will be playing Wordle to the same extent in 6 months - certainly not in 12 months. This is a great exit for Josh to get out at/near the peak of popularity.
> Used to as in when the currency was gold backed and not really fiat, you mean? Sure, but that also didn't work very well.

There was no net inflation from 1800-1914, and endemic inflation ever since.
It is not the responsibility of Internet users to ensure the jobs of people in the advertising industry. Compelling users to view ads (when they view other content) to protect those jobs would be an infringement on individual rights for a very poor reason. That's why ad blockers and DVRs are legal in every country that I'm aware of.

Didn't they released Grounded, exclusive to PC and xbox in 2020? Though since it's a survival game, people might not remember it's been developed by them.
I can think of 3 ways that the NYT intends to profit off of this.

1) embed a link to times puzzles into the boilerplate "share" feature.
2) embed enticing pictures of other puzzles that the NYT owns in the actual game page itself.
3) embed links to wordle from existing puzzles, with the hope of preventing people from clicking away from the times collection of puzzles.

Seems like a steep price for all of this though.
> We should just create a revision for RFC 2616

RFC 2616 has already been obsoleted, and there is a draft (I think on its 19th draft or more) RFC obsoleting the set that obsoleted RFC 2616.

> to extend the GET method to allow request bodies.

Adding a new method is safer than changing the semantics of an existing one, “has a body” is a pretty major distinction for an HTTP message, whether a request method or response status.

The market must be trying to tell us that they're under-priced.

People want cheap computers badly, and "cheap" might be as much as $200. I had a lot of trouble finding an x86_64 box for under $400 a couple years ago, and ended up settling for a no-name with a shitty firmware that wouldn't boot GRUB for half the distros I tried to install.
If inflation is "inflating the amount of cash in circulation" then it doesn't seem like something that just happens (i.e. 2% inflation per year is totally normal) but something that is done deliberatly by people.

Why is it done? Why would anyone, especially rich people, that their riches get worth less?

Previous-Gen QuadCore ARM TV boxes are available in masses for 30EUros on European Amazon. Most of them have close-to-mainline, or even mainline kernels available to boot/install a normal debian bullseye.

Somewhat reduced IO interfaces, a bit less RAM, maybe a bit less singlethread perf, but SPI, I2c, USB, HDMI and others are available. Buy 5 for the price of one RPI-SET.
Very cool! I think only using nouns and named entities as nodes is somewhat limiting and in information extraction we can do better, using concept embeddings w/ similarity links for instance. But that might just be an improvement for improvement sake. This looks like solid software engineering groundwork. I will try this on my notes, writing and literature collection and I might put in some fancier NLP.

Seems made up, though I don’t doubt that it’s a thing. If someone is getting someone else to interview for them, the least they would ensure is that no aspect of personal life is discussed during the interview. This is also something that no hiring manager would inquire about since there are possible legal repercussions to doing so. Finally, I think it’s alarming that the spouse has this level of detail about the happenings at her husband’s office - if this were true, this is a mini-scandal by itself

I do the same for my husband for tricky communications/yearly reviews/etc. He's perfectly capable of communicating acceptably, but it takes him half an hour to draft something that takes me under 5 minutes and he dreads it so much he'll procrastinate until it HAS to be done.

I'm in the process of studying to transition from engineering into infosec because I have had so much insight into the job by way of helping my husband with tricky communications and I decided that it was something I'd enjoy.

Unfortunately in the past I've been pressured/pushed into sales and/or client side positions because of my communication skills, though. Frankly, its a bit insulting since it means that I've gotten less technical opportunities and mentoring because managers keep trying to point me in the less technical direction.

I just want a job where I can be good at it and not have to be the one responsible for dealing with dramatic clients and extricating the company from sticky situations. Just because I'm good at breaking bad news to clients and dealing with the fallout doesn't mean I enjoy it (does anybody?), and too much of it definitely hits my mental health (anxiety, depression, burnout).
They'll have to re-work it so much if they put it somewhere else that I expect the integration work would approach the cost of just re-implementing it.

I'm not sure that will last, though. I told myself that, and then I "solved" it. 4 words, with no overlap, covering most of the common letters... it's near impossible to lose. I went through the archive, needed to use the 6th row for just one out of 20 or so puzzles.

Sure, there are more optimal solutions for individual puzzles, but it's no longer much fun - it pretty much reduces to just solving an anagram.
Just to address this. There is no evidence anyone produced HIV in a lab and then released it, accidentally or not, out into the world. Scientists have established a pretty robust causal chain for where HIV came from. It is plausible that HIV was spreading between humans before we even really had the field of Molecular Biology that would have allowed us to “make” HIV.

The AWS bill and ops are definitely relevant but didn't seem to be in the spirit of the original point about it taking X days to make.

It sounds like, if that timely manner is at least a day long then she'd get it done reliably. I think the only issue you could possibly see here is one of labour exploitation if she was sending the work off to someone else - it might be that she specifically shouldn't be paid but you as a company would really like to get in touch with whoever is on the other side.

Or it might just be that some people are introverted and crack under pressure whenever the spotlight is on them but, once they have quiet time to themselves, they can really power through problems.

The description of the scenario isn't nearly enough for us to get any grip on what was going on without making some huge assumptions, but the facts that we have are that she tended to really struggle when coordinating with coworkers and that she completed the work expected of her - there could be numerous explanations and the observations from the poster might even be inaccurate.
If 73% of millennials starting tweeting about their bowel movements tomorrow, would you be trying to monetize the toilet as the hottest new social network?

I told my Mom I solved last night's Wordle in two. That's making conversation about a shared interest. It's the reprehensible worst of this industry to pivot that interest into exploiting it at the source simply because it exists. Put succinctly: in no rational world is my having a conversation with someone about Wordle evidence that it needs a Sign in with Facebook button.

It already has a share button, implemented in probably the most respectful way possible. Absolutely nothing needs to be changed. Wordle is perfect user-respecting technology in any way. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that every change you have in mind to improve it will make it significantly worse because you disagree with my assessment.

This is a trick/scam often practiced by retailers of any product where demand is higher than supply.

For example if you want to buy the new XBox right now, it's relatively easily available when bundled with a lot of pricey accessories, but essentially impossible to buy on its own.

Do not reward the greed of retailers who do this.

Everybody is now talking about NYT buying Wordle. Not that they would care about the cost as such, but they already seem to have recouped it, in my opinion.
I think it's normal to acquihire for stuff like this. But I'm not confident. Maybe it's just a condition of sale that he spend a week talking to the NYT games team about the design and codebase.
You shouldn't be. Are you anxious to censor Brainfuck for example? [1]
When you censor, you make the case for an argument to become weaker not stronger. You are hiding the knowledge to show another way in which something is invalid. The end result invariably will be that you make what initially could be science, to become propaganda.
The natural selection of paradigms do not require censorship anyway. Reality will reveal itself and always win in the long run. Propaganda is always an epoch phenomena that doesn't pass the test of time. It's like a counterfeited wannabe classic posing as timeless but always revealing itself as some kind of fraud in the end.
And without unconditional love to truth and reality you make impossible to do true philosophy, hence true science.

It's different because it's not subject to IP spoofing, and does not require to run specific infra to setup a zone. Your zones live in the DHT not on a nameserver of yours, so even your less-technical friends given the right software UX could publish their favorite domain names in their zones for them to be forever resolvable, or as shortcuts.

Like maybe there's this super cool blog about guitars my friend akhmad follows but i can't remember the URL right now and of course Google is giving me the worst SEO-induced results. But i know my friend akhmad published it as "guitar" in his zone because he also forgets the name every now and then, so now i can just go to "guitar.akhmad" in my browser (assuming i already have akhmad in my hyper-hyper local root).

Yes this does have some consequences for some things such as TLS validation, but if you want we could get into the details of why that's OK (TLDR: CAs are only good because DNS is bad security for key distribution, DANE over GNS would be arguably more secure).
Sure, but Wordle was not a startup. It wasn't seeking an "exit". It was a fun project made by a guy for his girlfriend who likes word games. He shared to their family, and it spread. Not everything needs to be or should be viewed from the lens of startup, even if this is YC's HN.

Public transportation is awful.

My car is clean, arrives and departs on my schedule, can go nearly everywhere, and is available at my doorstep. I don't have to deal with homeless people, sick people, poop, mystery fluids, or animals. And it can take me either down the street, or hundreds of miles away.

The automobile solves my problem, public transportation doesn't.
This is exactly the issue I've come across.

I'm a very candid person and I have no issues saying exactly what's on my mind when I'm comfortable.

I've hardly ever seen my managers speak anything but the party line. I can't get comfortable talking about issues with someone who doesn't believe there are problems.
It's may be simpler to use split horizon DNS and http verification outside the lan instead of dealing with DNS challenges.

> A good parallel would be a local newspaper that gets send for free to everyone, but also includes ads. I'm completely free to ignore the ads in this case.

Of course you are. That's a very different scenario. I get junk mail all the time. It goes in the trash. Always.

It is UNSOLICITED.

> It's completely ridiculous to speak about "theft". Theft always requires actively taking something.

Exactly!

You are destroying your own construct here.

The very first time you visit a website, you see ads. If you disagree with advertising and you visit that site again with an ad blocker, you have made a decision to steal their product.

They did not force you to visit a second time and you know they use ads to finance their existence.

They did not send you unsolicited content.

This is theft, because, to use your own definition, you "actively take something", by explicitly going to their site and blocking their potential revenue streams.

You might say: Well, since I have an ad blocker I have no way of knowing who has ads.

Right. Sure. Let's add that to the series of delusions supporting such thinking.

> I ask via the official way to ask for the content and they decide to send it to me. What I then do with the content on my local system is completely irrelevant and I have to right to modify it however I want, as long as I don't make it public or use it commercially obviously.

These sites support jobs, families, businesses. You think you are entitled to take their work product for free because you think so, because you think so, because you think so.

That's what it comes down to at the most basic: You think someone should work for you for free because you don't like what they do to pay for their salaries. Instead of not consuming their work product, you happily steal it. What do you think lies behind these sites? Robots? Picture a family having dinner next time you enable your ad blocker, perhaps that will introduce some humanity in your thinking.

I find that issues sometimes become much easier to understand when we explore the limits. In this case the obvious limit is 100% ad-blocking. The world-wide consequences would be severe way before we got to 100% blocking. The internet would likely collapse very quickly without advertising. People like you find all kinds of creative ways to rationalize stealing the work of others. If you don't agree with how they generate cashflow to pay for their salaries, don't consume their product.

The other thing I find is that people having such ideas, generally speaking, are folks who have never in their lives launched and operated a non-trivial business where they had to be responsible for the payroll that supported dozens of families. It is way easier to think of a website as a URL with no humanity behind it when you have never had such experience in life.

The Libertarian Free Market answer is that both parties need to be fully informed.

If the casino writes a bad, exploitable policy, they go bankrupt being exploited and this encourages future casinos to do better.
