They already did that kinda. They bought Alien Blue, which was the top iOS Reddit client before Apollo. They brought the dev onboard, sunsetted the Alien Blue app in favor of a new official Reddit mobile app, and gave all of the users who had purchased it a few years of Reddit Gold credit.

I think that app may be the basis of the current Reddit app somewhere deep down inside, but it basically bears no resemblance at this point since Reddit's priority is chasing ad revenue and TikTok style feeds instead of just letting people follow and comment in their communities.

This of course left a gap for a new good iOS client and Apollo was born.

If they bought Apollo I'm sure the same cycle would occur again.

She is literally a walking biohazard. She got her due process, lost, and then ignored the court order. From the article it sounds like she can still refuse treatment but she can't keep being a risk to the public.

Edit: And to your point about "no crime," reckless endangerment is a crime. Defying court orders is a crime.
Twitter is a better experience than ever for the users, and leaner than ever which is better for the company. There was a short learning curve for all involved (those who were left and those who were brought on), but they've ironed out those kinks long ago.
Kind of bizarre to make this big of a case over one woman. TB is possibly the most widespread infectious disease in the world. It's the leading cause of death from infectious disease after COVID-19. One quarter of the world's population has a latent TB infection.

An active TB infection is basically less dangerous to the general public than a person with active COVID-19. In both cases, elderly and immunocompromised people are the most at risk, and there are vaccines for both, though we stopped giving kids the TB vaccine in the west. But a person with active TB will usually infect only about 10-15 people in their lifetime, whereas COVID-19 is much more infectious.
There will undoubtedly be a big buildout in mining, the only question is if it will happen in the short term or the longer term, which is dependent on permitting timeframes.

Last I heard, copper mines took 17 years to permit. But in 17 years time, we will need to increase copper production to 150% to 200% of its current value, ie go from 28M tons/year to ~50M tons/year. (And important to note that only 5M ton/year are from energy transition demand).

And the volume of material needed for the energy transition is small compared to existing mining, and in particular to the amount of material that we move around for fossil fuels, which will all drastically decrease.

This is a big project to solve, sure, but it needs to be compared to the scale and scope of what we currently do, and what would happen even without the energy transition. And when we do that comparison, I think we will find that the energy transition will be far less resource intensive than the expansion of our fossil fuel industries that would happen anyway.

Yeah, repurposing Everclear got me through the pandemic.

I cut it with Diet Coke, and a splash of lime, and drank it to help sanitize my system of coronavirus particles.

Kept me COVID-free. I think. I don’t really remember much of the past 3 years for some reason, drinking that every day…but no nagging cough!

I tried to learn SQLAlchemy to avoid writing explicit SQL, but except for the most trivial relationships it requires me to write several times more code in an arcane DSL to accomplish the same thing, at which point, why bother?
The vote was nonbinding, and will make a cosmetic difference at best. It baffles me that the owners of a company are unable to block the company's managers from paying themselves whatever they like.

For all the talk about the Deep State, the truly unaccountable power holders are the C-suite class.
Indeed; as Cory Doctorow calls it, the Enshittification stage. The point at which the platform begins to extract all the value it can from its users and its advertisers.
And SQLAlchemy Core, among many other SQL generators, gives the lie to "The state of things is bimodal: you either write raw SQL, or you use an ORM."
It sounds like you'd be happy to let a zombie outbreak go untreated.

I'm not comfortable with a startup laying off people at all. Startup compensation is almost always structured with equity as a part.

And the details are usually crappy, like even a very early critical engineering hire offereed only 1% ISOs, vesting over 4+ years, and a 90-day window to exercise upon severing employment.

When the company structures terms like that, for people who you'd think the company would want aligned with the success of the company, a company that's enjoyed the work towards equity of employees should make layoffs a last resort, including after having the founders take the hit (e.g., trading some of their much larger equity for funds to retain their team).
Note that mouse survival depends on the landing. It's quite reasonable for a mouse to fear heights even if in the *typical* situation it won't be hurt. If a mouse freely jumped down and was impaled 1 time in 1,000 that would be a very bad choice for the mouse. Also, a mouse who jumps down might find itself in a situation where it can't get home.

Apparently, not. Side note, kubectl also has this feature with similar convention wrt binary name pattern.
That's flat out incorrect. The official figures absolutely do account for illegal aliens. Citizenship status and legality of presence are not filters used when deciding which humans to count.

Transients aren't residents. The numbers similarly do not account for tourists.

Is the point you're trying to make that California's population is not in fact shrinking despite all official sources saying otherwise? That would be a pretty extraordinary claim. I'm sure you have a source to back it up though, would you share it?

Surely your CV is inherently public information

Says who?

I find it actually quite strange to think of not only your own, but everyone else's professional (and implicitly: social, geographic) history as "inherently public" information.
It seems to be down now.
I would not trust an non-deterministic system to do a refactor on a production system -- I would have to review the whole thing. Isn't it quicker to just do it myself with my regular deterministic tools?
For advertisers it isn't. Signals for purchasing that could be had for cheap are extremely valuable. Especially if they're reliable. If Amazon could get me a qualified lead for the half the price of Google Ads, that would be a game changer.
You can just download the list of newsgroups. If you find one that looks interesting you can just post to it.

The main issue is most unmoderated groups are overrun with spam. Most news readers don't do a great job filtering that spam so for every ham post in a thread there can be dozens of spam messages. There's also effectively no enforcement of any group's etiquette so even ham messages tend to be pretty low quality.

Usenet is just a message distribution mechanism. There's just a lot of small world culture around its management. It started in the era of small world Internet so that's understandable but it's definitely a quirk of the whole structure. You have to know or get to know the right people to start groups or get them carried or manage their moderation.
I just want a normal life for my family. I tend to tune out all the cultural war stuff as much as possible.

There are ways of improving economic opportunity without shifting to a grossly consumerist lifestyle. But even if there weren’t, it would be better to downscale the population through voluntary means even if it meant a climate hit. What’s the alternative?

> Communities used to be on specialised forums and blogs.

Now these communities are on Discord, which is not the friendliest to look for archived knowledge. If Discord can solve the UX for knowledge share, I can see it as the product with the better chance of replacing Reddit.
> Apollo made 7 billion requests last month, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year. Even if I only kept subscription users, the average Apollo user uses 344 requests per day, which would cost $2.50 per month

900,000 total users, if they were all converted to paid users, would cost $1.89 per user, so Apollo could charge $1.99 per month. Or they could charge $2.50 per month as stated above.

This seems reasonable for access to all of reddit and their engineers to maintain it for you?
Now I am a little uneasy about the sanitizer I bought. I walked into Walmart one day and they had these giant bottles of liquid hand sanitizer with a 80% alcohol content and it works great and doesn’t leave a residue. It was on for 25cents a bottle when normally something that size would sell for about $8. I couldn’t believe they were getting rid of it for so cheap so bout about 100 bottles and have been using it for months.

Wish there was a way I could test for benzene and I wonder if Walmart knew it was bad and decided to dump it on customers so they wouldn’t be sitting with thousands of bottles needing disposal.

Ask HN: What opened your eyes to the true power of programming (languages)?
Programming languages are tools by which you bend computers' mind to perform tasks that your mind can imagine. Programming as a tool is immensely powerful to achieve a wide variety of tasks.

When did you come to realise about this magical power of programming? Was it a project or a subject of computer science that opened your eyes to the fact that you can write a program for almost anything you can imagine (barring few uncomputable things)?

It's fair that you can never wipe out all variables. However, a lot of people (especially taeric) were dismissing any attempt to discuss if other aspects were important as "the NHTSA has data and you only have conjecture."

While the costs of phantom breaking are decreased if everyone has AEB, I don't think this makes the roads safer for me unless I want to buy a newer vehicle and I don't want to have to do that.
I don't think this is true. Prior to COVID many societies wore masks when sick, and a lot of folks' eyes were opened to the usefulness of doing so during the pandemic. I plan on wearing my n95 out and about when under the weather now, even though I don't generally wear one now that vaccines are readily available.

And there are multitude of folks undergoing treatments that inhibit their immune system, where masking is especially important.

That said, people should stay away from cloth masks or surgical masks and use n95s/respirators.
Then factor in switching costs or find a way to reduce them when initially making a purchase.

Y'all are twisting yourselves into pretzels trying to justify why you can't easily cancel a subscription.
It's natural to look at a $40m pay package and say that is excessive and greedy, but these numbers should be put in perspective. That's a little under 1% of Netflix's profit for the year going to the CEO, who has roughly been around since the founding of the company 20+ years ago. If anything this is a bit smaller than the percentage at other firms, it's just that the scale and success of Netflix is massive.
I mean the people that make the content are users. The same people who use the app.
Yes, but I think these are just saved to when something bad happens. Then the Managers will review them looking for someone to blame. Just a CYA activity.
I'm pretty tired of the outrage headlines. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed, and willing to move on. I'm not interested in the web or official app, and while I really appreciate Reddit, I spend a lot of time on the site that could probably be spent elsewhere, and maybe this change provides the impetus for me to find healthier ways of using my time.
Such a high probability that in 2-3+ years there’s zero evidence she spread TB.

There’s a reason TB isn’t an issue any more… we have dramatically improved health, smoke dramatically less AND have effective antibiotics. TB kills how many people in the US? Oh right… less than strep, do we lock up people with strep? Of course not.

13 million people today in the US have latent TB. Effectively, their body fought it odd and isolated the bacteria. We don’t lock them up. What evidence do we have that this person has an active case AFTER 2-3 years?

Nice! I don't like how C has null terminated char arrays plays with this. Ideally this would somehow enforce a guard null byte at the end of each array not included in the size.

I don't get this suggestion. Users of this app (myself included) want a different UI for Reddit. Changing the underlying store to something else would make it useless to me because I'm specifically using it to access Reddit. "Something else" wouldn't have the same communities and content that I want to view.
This reminds me of a Bing (MSN?) maps plug-in a while ago that was built by, I think, an Indian guy who went over to MS, which would plot a summarized route map from point A to point B where the main roads in your route were labeled, esp where you had to turn or get on a diff road. This was before phones with GPS came about.

The roads looked somehwat like chicken scratch (straight, not many curves). Like if you were mapping directions in sand/dirt with a stick in explaining to someone how to get some place.

Yet another classic example of perverse incentives. Create a problem, offer a solution that creates other more serious problems. Force it through bureaucratic circles without representation. Create a less free world.

When you drive, you are responsible for you and your passengers safety.

How can you possibly be responsible for the car suddenly stopping when you have no control over it as a mandated safety feature.

The only choice you have if this is mandated is you can't drive. So you can't travel long distances, or transport things long distance, interferes with interstate commerce and travel you are confined to your local area of walking distance.

This is beyond stupid, and lacks any basis of granted authority since it opens the door for violating constitutional rights, in the name of a dubious claimed safety issue. Congress can't create a law and have this not be unconstitutional how can a committee think this will be any different.
Multi-cancer blood test shows real promise in NHS study
I tried two kind of N95. One (actually KF94) uses the ears or the neck for support but ends up either hurting my ears or my nose. The second (3m aura) has two elastics that go around the head, splitting the load, and some padding around the nose. I find those very comfortable although I guess the airtightness could be an issue for some people.

Just in case you never tried it and the pandemic situation starts warranting mask wearing again; I don't really care whether people mask.

Why should the pay of the CEO be indexed on the total revenue of the company. The CEO is basically an employee, his pay should be indexed on the preceived market value of his talent.

Or use JOOQ today.
I don't think Reddit's issue is the cost of operating the site but the pressure to generate bigger revenue for the IPO (or maybe more, a plausible story by which they could generate big revenue).

Of course costs play a part in how much revenue you need, but even in the realm of costs it's probably employees rather than servers that's dominant.
Are you thinking of Kindle Whispernet?

I do miss being able to use my early Kindle 2 with the 'experimental web browser' and go beyond the walled garden, but the later 3G Kindles that were still walled off to Amazon and at least Wikipedia were still really nice for quick mobile referencing.
But they can't charge $2/mo. Not all of their users will pay. In fact, most won't, and many who would already paid for "lifetime membership" (Apollo Pro/Ultra) which they sold anywhere from $5-$50.

They'd probably have to charge $10-20/mo just to break even.
