I don't see that at all. I can't speak for Meta, but I just came from Google last year... there was zero zero zero work being done in Rust for anything service or web related. The only Rust work at Google that I knew of was Fuchsia stuff.

But there's job postings all over the place for either "web3" companies and/or others for tokio/async/web stuff in Rust. Which seems like gratuitous novelty seeking to me, TBH.
Oh I can even believe that this fucked up CEO is just a liar and knows exactly that the API pricing will kill apps of and just does it on purpose.

But he will be the person to increase revenue anyway.

Because he can now say that whatever app survived this is now paying for it instead.

Considering that cave paintings have perspective leaps, I don't think climbing a mountain was necessary for one.
Alternative question: why aren't these apps asking for API keys from their users, and operate off of that?

Seems like that'd shift the burden from them to the individual user, who would then pay whatever rates Reddit wants to charge.
Feels like the beginning of the end for Reddit.
We don't know how efficient this is. Single number given in the article doesn't mean anything. SMPS come with an efficiency curve over the whole range of provided power. It can be 70% efficient at 20W or 85% at 180W and 93% only at 70W. Complete information was not provided by the article.

And USB-C supplies can also switch voltages, so the efficiency will also depend on the voltage (both input and ouput, as this can probably be used in both 110V and 230V grids)...

It's just marketing... "up to 93%" :)
Developer experience: what is it and why should you care?
Reading the transcripts and listening to the audio and seeing how Reddit is behaving is a fucking wild ride.

I use old.reddit.com on mobile and desktop so I'm not directly effected by these changes aside from the likely steep decline in moderation quality as longstanding mods lose their tools.

I feel compelled to migrate from reddit and only utilize it as a resource for knowledge when it's the only resource for some obscure niche thing or sub-culture. That last statement alone speaks volumes about the danger of centralizing communities as reddit has done.

Maybe a federated internet is back on the table for the future.

Reddit for amusement is a blackhole.

Who could have thought that manufacturing using western labor and laws, can't compete with manufacturing in a totalitarian regime with no respect for human lives/rights or the environment? /s

Free trade should only happen as long as the trading partners share similar laws and regulation on human rights and environmental protections, otherwise people and the environment get screwed for the sake of corporate profits, so tariffs should always be in place to level the playing field and prevent such exploitations.
From the drawing in the article, the fuel capacity is 47,210 gallons. Also from the article the weight of fuel is 6.7 - 6.8 pounds per gallon.

Thus, a fully loaded 747 has 316,000 pounds of fuel.

To put this in context, the maximum takeoff weight of a 737-700 is 154,000 pounds.

A fully fueled 747 has 2x the maximum weight of a 737 just in fuel!

I find it a little disturbing the rising jingoism we are seeing in the states. Military recruitment ads are everywhere all of the sudden. It went away for a solid decade after the catastrophe of Iraq and Afghanistan, but it seems like the war drums are beating once again. The fear mongering over China has reached an absolute fever pitch, and it feels eerily reminiscent of the 2002 media blitz to justify toppling Saddam.
Thank you for the kind words and excellent suggestion! Definitely helpful to know you'd pay for it :P

I touched on this in another comment here, but dissolution, counterintuitively, is actually a very different ballgame. There is a lot more variability in how it should be done, depending on the specific circumstances of the company being shut down. That's one of a few reasons why you don't see many products out there for this. But I completely agree it's a pain point for us to solve!
Does it really free up more travel options? Is public transport so expensive in Germany?

Even if it does provide more travel options, does that provide more value than it costs? I think that this is straightforward to answer.

I ask the same questions every time the topic pops up because all the praises in the comment tend to boils down to "it's good because it's cheaper". Sure everyone likes cheaper but that is not really a convincing argument.

It's mods, not users, that hold a lot of the power. The mods are small enough in number to coordinate. Indeed for many of the popular subs, the mods are all the same people since some mod mod dozens of the most popular subs.

That's actually a problem, but for action like this, it's an enabler compared trying to coordinate reddit users, who are a disparate bunch.
I'm not sure I understand why you can't do this.

I, a user of Reddit, will be able to generate an API key. Obviously I'll have to associate a CC with it (or whatever their new process is), but I can generate one for free.

Why can't I use that for my local Apollo or RIF client on my phone? Why must Apollo or RIF be involved on that end at all?
No, because a typical safe-to-run browser extension is written in such a way that it can be examined to see what it does. AI-based tools can’t be analyzed based on their code, so the only way to make them safe is by limiting their capabilities. Any such capability limit is likely to be either too constraining, not constraining enough, or require as much planning ability as the AI itself.
>We know that there is such a thing as psychology, and when we finally understand it that the psychologists will have had nothing to do with that.

Guess, that is the problem. Seems like most of the thread doesn't seem to think it can be studied at all. You seem to acknowledge it can be, just not by 'Psychologist'.

I think this is a case of changing the title. Everyone seems to have a pretty negative view of the field of Psychology, so there are now a lot of other fields off doing Psychology but they changed their names, thus 'psychologists will have had nothing to do with that'. But where did it start?

Or maybe I'm not up on the times. What I'm calling Psychology has up and left and call themselves neuroscientist now, or 'cognitive neuroscience'.
the appeal of reddit is that you get a bunch of discussion on one topic, vs discord, my discussion on a topic is spread out over one or many discords. i really just use discord for communicating with groups of people that might all know each other under some interest. i wouldn't say that discord is an alternative to reddit, more of an alternative to slack.

Most of the seaweeds are water. And the dry matter is salty.

Coastal areas are extremely busy. You can't remove Honk Kong city to culture seaweeds. You can't block maritime traffic routes to culture seaweeds, or stop all commercial fishing near the shore, or ban tourism. In most areas is a no-way.

And there are other problems and obstacles that could be spotted easily by biologists, for example that water temperature is rising.

> business partner

This is the part that you seem to be confusing.

Apollo and Reddit do not appear to be business partners. Nor does Apollo seem to have any contractual agreement with Reddit, outside of the API usage agreement.

The API terms were lasted updated May 25, 2016. These include this language:

> a. Fees. Reddit reserves the right to charge fees for future use or access to the Reddit APIs, rates to be determined in Reddit’s sole discretion.

I assume these are the terms that Apollo are bound to. If that's the case, I don't see how you can support your claim. Reddit is using it's contractual right.
I stand corrected. But anyhow, something in the css is making it show just a blank white page.
At least you can still rely on some things to not change.

I am skeptical of any remedy to climate change that’s not reducing emissions. Whatever you do, be it seaweed, carbon capture or other stuff, would have to be done on an insane scale to make a difference. Who knows what the side effects of growing that much seaweed would be ?
Sure, but there's also the value that the users create using these apps, and drive engagement to reddit. Not to mention the insane amount of volunteer mod work, many of who use unofficial apps.
Good point, but working at home still affords people that opportunity, and I find it easier and more comfortable to do that in my home too
The military has a main base for testing secret experimental aircraft in the relative vicinity of Las Vegas and uses "aliens" as cover for that.

It seems possible this news report (or media submitted to the news) was directly part of that military information program because otherwise they would have shown the backyard rather than blacking it out. By hiding the yard they hide the fact that obviously no alien craft landed there and allow people to use their imagination.

He's a 20-something year old developer. This isn't his comfort zone and did not expect himself to be in this position.

Reddit had no mobile app for years, and yet a ton of mobile users on 3rd party apps. Their own mobile app used to be a 3rd party app that they bought out. So without even getting into other creative uses of the API, they definitely owe some of their popularity to 3rd party mobile app developers. How much? Who can really say how Reddit would have evolved if it had no public API.
I mean information security matters. Physical access is an issue. But I was sort of joking anyway.
How can you hate those groups but not hate the_donald where mods were also a disaster?! They absolutely love to gaslight you in general. Shouldn't a good faith response to a post in the_donald not be immediately removed and OP banned? The mods would never let any non-hyperventilated group think through. It's the same with r/conspiracy back then where I happily took my ban for calling out the worst mod I've ever encountered who would again ban good faith discussion for arbitrary reasons. r/politics mods are also horrible, to add some balance. I'm banned there too.

There are many factors involved. Just to point out one, when the freeze and blackout hit Texas many makers of adhesives got stuck with volatile products in pipes and pumps. The reconstruction effort from that has been big enough that it is still going on.

> If Lujan feels like a psyop (a psychological operation) it is because, technically, she is.
We need to make it profitable to do the good things and not profitable to do the bad things. This way people will do the good things and not the bad things.

The most straight forward way to do this would be to make doing the bad things more expensive, which means taxing carbon emissions.

Alongside this would be to create alternatives that are cheaper and easier to use.

Unfortunately this would mean actually spending money, making investments in public works, and changing things away from the status quo, and apparently this is impossible.

So we're going to sleep walk into our doom rather than do basic things like making gas more expensive and building public transit.
You should check the live page and look at the source code and headers that Googlebot is actually seeing. Sometimes something obvious will scream out at you.

An extreme example, source code says 'noindex'. Less extreme, you aren't flushing the cache as efficiently as you think.

I know very little about DNA and sequencing, so this may be a naive or even bad question. But aren't small sections of DNA unique? Or do you need a bunch of those small sections to actually create said fingerprint? Maybe a better question is asking how many of those chains you'd need to collect (and how long they are). Or how DNA identification even works.

While the fingerprinting might not be something normal researchers do, there still is the question about if the information exists. Unfortunately you only need a single bad actor. Most people might not go through the trouble to deanonymize this user account, but it definitely is possible and would also be possible (though quite taxing) purely through processing my words alone.
You might be prone to perceiving threats where there aren't any then. The only threat here was reddit's potential loss in revenue - offering to let himself be bought out for half of what they would supposedly "lose" in a year is extremely generous.

Of course, this is all a deliberate reframing by reddit. Reddit wasn't going to "lose" anything so much as "not get".
A wise man once said "if you can't buy it twice, you can't afford it". Nobody allocates more than half their wealth to a kettle. Nor a toaster, oven, microwave or dishwasher. If any of them break down, you can afford to buy another one, if you still need it.

There's really only one good thing to break the rule for and that's a house. But people regularly break the rule for cars. This is part of the car trap. It's one thing to build a lifestyle around a kettle, it's quite another to build it around a car.

The dependence can start with moving somewhere. Or you could start building commitments and habits that require it, such as taking a job that is far away. That and you rapidly lose fitness and regress into a blob-like form that is no longer capable of locomotion. It's remarkable how differently people react to "walking a mile". To those who walk it's nothing. It can even be done with 20kg of baggage if necessary. To those who drive it's a long way.

Cars are nice. But you can have too much of a good thing. It's important to stay aware of it, that's all.
Thank you for that link! Great article with a lot of truth to it.
There are plenty of old school forums. Example: I recently got into leatherworking. There are a couple of subreddits for it but also a large and active forum at https://leatherworker.net/forum/.

Reddit has discoverability and single sign on for a bunch of forums. It also has some fun nice to haves like a mixed feed of all your interests. But old school forums tend to be less commercial and sometimes can be a lot more tightly knit.
One of the core features of reddit is that far too many people use it with anonymous accounts. Its a good way of saying things that they don't want their families/friends/work/governments to know.

So a paid ad-free version simply doesn't work for these people.
Patagonia is clear about that decision though [1]. Microplastics are bad but not the whole story. They still offer natural fibers which have their own problems. I don't think this is Patagonia chasing short term profits, I think they are trying to remain true to their corporate goals.

Happened to me. Now looking for job. My soul is crushed.
I think the issue is that the bandwidth is shared. One of the things Xfinity is working on is moving to mid/high-split DOCSIS 3.1 which increases uplink speeds by allocating a larger frequency range to uploads. Even with mid or high-split DOCSIS 3.1, you're still sharing 450Mbps or 1.5Gbps with everyone on the same node. Without mid/high-split, you're sharing 108Mbps with everyone on your node. Another part of the network upgrade is splitting nodes and bringing fiber closer to the customer. If a node is serving fewer customers, there's less bandwidth that's shared.

The max speeds of the standard aren't really things that they can give you. Theoretically, LTE networks can give you 5Gbps, but the real-world experience is different given a shared link and signal loss/interference.

As I noted, Xfinity is updating their network to mid/high-split DOCSIS 3.1 and they're going to be increasing upload speeds to 75-200Mbps depending on your plan. They're already offering 1.2Gbps download speeds in my market. They're also supposed to start trials of DOCSIS 4 later this year.

I don't say this because Xfinity is a good company or anything, but you can't just look at the max speeds of a standard.

The taste difference between 2% and skim is vast to me, but the difference between 2% and 3.5% seems much less noticeable.

The carbon in oil is lightweight relative to the two oxygens it combines with (atomic weights 12 and 16 respectively) from the air, so 1kg of oil emits about 3kg of CO2!

Remember that Apple's "debacle" there was to comply with US law. Their issue was that (at the time) they were responsible for encrypted data backup's contents. So they could either scan on your device before backing up, or scan on the cloud. Scanning on your device, while it sounds scarier, actually offered more privacy protections, because otherwise their cloud needed to see your unencrypted data. And it only scanned on your device if you wanted to move things to the cloud.
