The LCD panel is too close and out of focus.

For example, close one eye and hold the tip of a pen about an inch in front the other and you'll see that it doesn't actually block any of the world.
Ideally, pre-industrial levels of CO2 ppm and stabilization of planetary scale changes (ocean dilatation, melting of glaciers etc). Because of inertia at this scale, for the second part we are already in trouble, even if we were able to magically stop emitting CO2 today
Does that come on a CD along with Intel Arc GPUs? :D
How do you advertise to the very smart and technical users when they run ad blockers?

In my opinion your site would need a really good technical write-up on a blog section that walks through how your application solves problems people have been handling manually so that it creates it's own compelling reasons even without having to describe the reasons in sales speak. In other words if the technical people here read your technical write-up they should already have ideas in their heads about how it solves management, audit, compliance and other facets of ssh private key management and public key trusts/identity mapping making their lives easier and freeing up time for them and their management teams.

There should be a way to try out your application and ideally a step-by-step instruction for how to self host it. To increase adoption provide people with Ansible, Chef, Docker, Cloud init and other pre-baked scripts so they can just about drop it into an environment with minimal configuration, fire up the required servers and tie everything into it.
2024 is preparing itself to one heck of a great election year.

Twitter doesn't even attempt to stop the spread of provably false information.

YouTube changed their policies on spreading election lies.

Now AI imagery is being employed to make political ads.

Fun. Fully expect to see Biden eating a baby and Trump in shit filled diapers anyday now.
Looking at the technology trajectories of PV and wind it is pretty clear that within the next 5 to 15 years many countries will start seeing substantial extra electricity being generated by the build out of renewables. Because countries will aim to cover most electricity by renewables and thus overprovision them for dark windless winters, it is likely that there will be massive amounts of energy available during the summer and windy times in spring/autumn.

At this point the technology which is best in converting surplus electricity in something which counteracts climate change is most likely to become relevant.

I've quit most of the social media like Facebook, I'm not active on Twitter or LinkedIn. But I've always struggled to quit Reddit.

But now, partially because of this (and partially because they've intentionally made the mobile web experience unusable over the last few years), I decided to quit Reddit a few days ago.

And it feels great. I've spent the time that I would have wasted on Reddit tackling my TO-READ list of books instead. And I feel much happier for it.
It's healthy to have a skepticism of "rich" people, but I think it's really uncharitable to view Chouinard's career as mere wealth accrual for wealth's sake. To not view him as a role model for how business can be ethical is, IMO, a missed opportunity.

Chouinard's goal was for his mission (the raison d'etre for Patagonia – to make high quality goods for outdoor activities, and to use the profits from this venture to protect outdoor spaces) to outlive his personal stewardship of Patagonia's control.

When that's your goal, the set of options available is rather narrow. You have to pass on control to people you trust, whom you've developed strong relationships with, and whom you trust to evolve and pass that mission down to the next generation. Most importantly, you want to avoid the kind of grifters that Patagonia has been allergic to in its history.

Plus, Patagonia already has a rich synergistic history of funding activism. It's not at all comparable to Gates, Carnegie, or Rockefeller who made their money and decided what "good" to spend it on in two discrete steps. For Patagonia, the most important thing is effective stewardship over an already-sailing ship

Chouinard has written a lot of material that you can read for yourself and form your own opinion on. He's remarkably direct and transparent, there aren't really smoke and mirrors to navigate.

That being said, anything he does with his "wealth" (itself an absurd idea, as he would never liquidate Patagonia shares and still never has) is going to rhyme with what other powerful people do with their wealth. You have to judge the people, not just the structures they're working within.
We've subsidized things we consider strategically or economically important for, what, at least a century now?

It doesn't make sense to think of infrastructure and technological capacities as less important than agriculture anymore, when it comes to keeping some significant presence locally.

It is a positively wild thought that running Ebaum's World could remain profitable in 2023.

Who on earth is their audience? I feel like as kids in the early aughts we already perceived Ebaum's as a sort of second fiddle reposter site to the primary sources we found dumb internet stuff. It's crazy to me they're still running all this time later.

More power to 'em, honestly.

FWIW we have at least the banking portion of what you described worked out. The idea is that you can pre-fill your applications with banks with the information that you entered for your legal paperwork. It's not quite a one-click process due to how the best banks for startups work, but it's as easy as it gets!
"was from a news story that did not correctly quote its own linked source document" (imagine a blink tag, I am)

And was for one specific year.

So in addition to "being false" and "you were so busy being angry you didn't bother to read", it's not even a reasonable claim to be exponential.

Normally I wouldn't mind rolling with that as a hope for what might come, but you're being everything you're accusing everyone else here of being.

> That is about one country's policy

Policy? That actually makes it worse, because it implies Japan will not meet more than 1% of its demand that way.

> Like I said, this is a major current event and guys like you are demanding proof of a massive global event that everyone should be aware of.

Which in total is next to nothing: 1% over 15 years, if everyone matches Japan's proposal.

And everyone else was telling you to actually dig up a link.

Getting the link from you was like blood from a stone.

According to the Bundesbank, Paypal is the most used online payment type in Germany with almost every second transaction using it.
Another important factor is that China's workers make more money than they used to, especially relative to the West. There's not as much of a cheap-labor-arbitrage opportunity as there was in the early 2000s.

Here's a chart illustrating this point:

Maybe. For the past few years I've had the pattern of making is so we can permalinks that carry all the parameters in the database... so if you click on https://mysite.com/uDFOD it might display the same thing that https://mysite.com/products/really-cool-product/?lotsa=param... whould, but there is nothing in the url that needs to be displayed. If your web app is hosting the redirect, you can just skip to C and respond with the correct body to the redirect url.
The shape makes it hard for me to take it as anything but a joke.

I'm sure it's not, though.
How would you like me to change my previous message to not offend you? I genuinely don't know, since my explicit notice beforehand wasn't enough. Or do you really want me to just not express my thoughts?
Why would it be limited to social media companies? Have companies like Airbnb done anything to show YC companies are more or less just as bad (once they are big of course)
I don't know, the argument doesn't work for me. Again, why would they pay him half the current operating cost to go away (even if that is not 20 mill)? Weird. Also weird to release audio publicly based on hear-say, the Steve guy didn't accuse him publicly of anything. I'd be very careful to be on the phone with this Christian guy, because, I might also "miss" (did he mention it at any point to the other guy?) that he is recording the conversation.

Eating the seaweed would not be sequestered CO2.

Your body, like a furnace, would break the seaweed down and re-release the CO2.

Better sequestration, would be to grow the seaweed and then bury it. Then in a million years future Earth inhabitants could dig up that broken down seaweed and have a new oil rush.
In order for this to be effective, these factories need to be able to produce at a desirable profit. The reason so much manufacturing drained out of the US in the first place was corporations seeking improved profits. That's not to say many won't succeed, but we need to ensure that global competitiveness is imbued into these operations. Southeast Asia and India remain inexpensive.
After carefully reading the comments and going back to the post, I take back my argument. It was flawed and did not represent the whole picture. I apologize for that. I think it wasn't a threat, but rather an unsuccessful attempt to sell Apollo before time runs out. I apologize for the confusion I created with my poor argument. I need to read more carefully.

---
I initially clicked on this post fully prepared to be outraged at Reddit and its CEO, but after carefully going through the audio, I just can't share that sentiment. I've listened to the recording multiple times, making sure that I'm not missing any crucial points in the conversation. It is evident to me that this statement, "if you want Apollo to go quiet," did come across as a threat.

Yes, the developer tried to backtrack later in the call by adding "in terms of API usage," but the damage was already done. Steve's side even provided several opportunities for him to clarify his statement, claiming that he couldn't hear him properly. I understand that many members of this community are rightfully upset with Reddit and its actions in recent years (me included), but we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that it really felt and sounded like a threat.

And fracking itself was developed with massive amounts of government subsidy, which is conveniently forgotten whenever the issue of "subsidies" comes up.

There's also the political motivation of banks, which blindly trusted fossil fuel investments, leading to massive investment that was unprofitable in the first round of fracking.

When it comes down to it, fossil fuels are surviving, and continue to survive, largely as a cultural and political effort, as much as a technology effort. And once we move away from them we will be saving massive amounts of money that can be directed towards improving the economy in other areas that improve people's lives rather than damage their lungs and cause climate change.

Ultimately I don't think they can. How would they handle a link like `https://example.com/password_reset?prid=ZXhhbXBsZWNsaWNraWQ`?

I'm sure somebody will figure out a way to use multiple seemingly-legitimate parameters to get the same result. Why use ?click_id=aqNERjsdfyqe when you can use ?category=10612550&subcategory=5929127&page=4257344 and transfer the same data without arousing suspicion?
Huh, I've had no issues with AWS IAM or Auditors when it comes to Terraform. I've managed compliance at multiple startups too.

This has the potential to be an amazing tool, especially for researchers. How are you planning to handle data privacy? Is my data stored locally, or in the cloud I could only use something like this if I could have my data local or e2e encrypted.
I feel like a mod blackout on all of Reddit would send a nice message. Reddit without the mods becomes 4chan. Maybe the mods should send Reddit a bill? I’d love that. Thousands and thousands of bills from mods for their time over the years. Then take them to collections and small claims court when they don’t pay. Would be entertaining if nothing else.
I couldn't detect any lag in Firefox or Chrome on a laptop. Is this more of a problem on older mobile devices?

Right I'm just saying that's not correct. It's easy to view history through a very positive lens...nostalgia (even nostalgia for something you did not personally experience) is a powerful drug.

I have a lot of nostalgia for writing BASIC and the feeling that I got the first time I learned about HTML4 tables and ASP.NET. But you could not pay me to return to those technologies.
Reagan also jacked up the national debt pumping $$$$ into defense technology and hardware development, but I suspect you know that neither tarriffs nor unrestricted government spending without an eye towards the debt is what "Reaganomics" is popularly remembered as.

Outside of the more immediately-public-facing stuff like tax cuts, Reagan's legacy is very much a "do what we say, not what we did" situation.
There is a veiled “we’ve got work to do” admission:

And seeing what they put out there and how they’re going to compete just made me even more excited and in a lot of ways optimistic that what we’re doing matters and is going to succeed. But it’s going to be a fun journey.

LEDs flicker differently.

An incandescent has 10-15% brightness flicker at 120Hz. LEDs... vary. Some flicker a lot harder at 120Hz, some (mostly LED Christmas lights) are awful and flicker at 60Hz with a 50% duty cycle because they're a single diode rectifier.

Most LEDs flicker far faster, in the kHz range, which is theoretically beyond human impact, but we don't have many studies on it.

Incandescent flicker is also related to bulb wattage. A higher wattage bulb, with a thicker filament, will flicker less because it has more thermal inertia.
Ait is bad enough, skipping indoor exercise is probably best unless running a quality air filter.

My learning of that was after taking days and once weeks to recover from smoke exposure. I don't think the gravity of how bad it is really sinks in until the super long recovery is observed
> concerted effort

These things never work.

What works is if people genuinely lose interest on the service.

From 2013 to 2020 I used Reddit on a daily basis. Ever since then, my hatred and mistrust for the platform only grew, and I lost interest on it. I still have RiF installed, but truth is I seldon go there to see anything.

I won't even bother doing anything. I'll probably just not ever going to log back.

Reading that interview, it just sounds like a tax-optimized donation. It still causes him to give up wealth that he could have kept, but he's minimizing the loss. Is this not the case? If it is for pure personal financial gain, should we expect Jim Simons to pull a similar maneuver with Ren Tech at some point?
I much prefer the multithreaded UI, but agree that the up/down vote systems aren't great. If it were simply sorted by time, I'd be happy.
Yea, it's a topic of interest for me personally, even if they aren't common with the types of startups we serve. Do you know of any successful worker-owned software companies? The co-ops I'm familiar with are mostly REI and grocery store types (both of which I enjoy a lot as a customer).
You might have better luck testing out the functional boundaries of a machine if you’re not treating it like a psychologically abused victim.

Reagan launched the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations that led to the creation of the WTO, which itself resulted from the Bretton Woods system and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (pre-cursor to WTO) that were established after WWII. The US had been on that trajectory for a long time before Bill Clinton put it into overdrive!
It's less about what they can do, and more about whether they'll trust whatever their CEO says next time.
What does fastest mean? Does it have the most responsive UI? Is it the fastest to open? Is it using less memory than the competition to achieve its speed?

I think Strauss argued that there is hidden meaning in many of the philosophy classics. But a lot of people think his theory is bullshit.
The total cost to the tax payer is around 3 Billion euros, which as a subsidy is pretty cheap in comparison to the 3-5 Billion euros of subsidies for company cars.
Boomers saying: "I don't want my kid to go to machineshop in HS, he'll turn out to be a plumber" is what did it too.

It always seemed to me that the country buying all the stuff holds the real power. It just feels far more possible to find alternative manufacturers than it is to find alternative markets.
>Bullies need to learn that the truth will come out eventually,

At this point, this is just speculation and wishful thinking on your part. History has shown that this is not always the outcome. Things we try to teach kids like "winners don't cheat, and cheaters don't win", "crime doesn't pay", or any similar platitudes do not hold true in real life which adults live. If Reddit were to die tomorrow, it would affect me in no way. So this has all been a bunch of popcorn eating for me to watch everyone on their soapboxes make outlandish statements made on pure emotion.

You don't directly convert dosage across species like that. The dosage they tested on monkeys was 250mg/kg, and the human equivalent would be less than that.
The Reddit mobile app has a few big issues for me:

1. When I click a post, sometimes it goes to a different post's detail page. The only way to remedy this is to refresh and visit the sub directly via Reddit search function, or restart the app.

2. Video player sometimes just doesn't play the video no matter how often you click "play", similar fix as above.

3. Google search is better at searching Reddit than Reddit search.

Very annoying, but I still use it and never felt the need to use Apollo. To slightly defend Reddit, Apollo is just a client, and I assume they bring nothing else to the table. Apollo team should have had the foresight to see this coming years ago. Reddit can't be blamed for trying to monetize their data. If I had to choose between Reddit and Apollo, obviously I'd choose Reddit because Reddit is where the data lives.

> Maybe a good time to start a company selling to the government.

Why do you think this sudden rise in industrial investment? The US didn't turn attractive overnight. This is the "economy" selling to the government their $280Bn CHIPS package.

> It's too early to know, but if it turns out the solution to decades of economic misery for middle class blue collar workers was

A 50% tariff does not affect attractiveness. You did not address the core issues, as the tariff will hide it. What will happen is free market economy at play: As the issues are hidden behind tariffs/protectionism, the US will keep falling behind China until you are significantly behind that you can't catch up. Then you become a real third-world country.
To clarify, I'm not opining personally on reddit's API changes at all in my comment. I'm pointing out that regardless of anyone's opinion of the API changes, Steve's behavior is just egregious, ridiculous, and cruel.

You certainly raise good points about the policy change itself and about the ensuing debate and my own view is certainly closer to yours than to "not care / no position." I'm just not talking about it here, my comment was my stunned reaction to steve huffman's abominable public behavior.
