What is the additional privacy risk from IndexedDB and localstorage?

I would have thought apps that store everything locally, that don't require any backend at all are great for privacy, but what do I know, I don't have billions to spend on privacy branding.

> China is no longer the "world's factory". It will stagnate for 10+ years, similar to Japan's lost decades, but with worser birth rate than Japan today.

idk, Japan seems like it thought the party would go on forever, whereas China does seem to have clear eyes with it comes to world politics (eg. long-term investment in the rest of Asia and Africa).

It's essentially identical to whole milk in the US. Nutritionally, compositionally, and flavor-wise.

I really can't imagine what you're talking about "tasting like water" unless you switched to skim milk or 2% in the US without realizing it?

The gaffe here is I can't access Reddit anymore on my phone because the app is gone. It's a little different.

Will those Apollo users go install the worse app, with the worse user experience to continue to use Reddit? Maybe? Maybe not. I won't be. I didn't come back to Twitter when they disabled Tweetbot either.

Fedora isn't perfect, but it can go for weeks without updates and then update cleanly reliably, which is not something you typically get with rolling distributions. This makes it well suited for use as a dual booted secondary OS or VM OS.
Yeah, I agree (although with Kinoite because fuck GNOME). It still has plenty of issues, but at least I don't feel like I'm constantly fighting the system just to use software.
In things to do with business, yes, if you behave ethically the risk is minimal and the upsides can save your ass like in this case.
The core of the issue is that we are polluting and not managing externalities as we should right now. It means we need to fix what we are doing not that we have to go back to the pre-modern world.

Potassium from potash is mostly a passive solar evap process.

For seaweed aquaculture, iron sulfate is used because iron availability is the most frequent limiting factor. It's frequently a byproduct of steel production, in much need of greening itself, and produced in large quantities. Volcanic ash is another abundant source.

Visibly is meant to create transparency and visibility for the IC. Today, a lot of managers secretly look at metrics in calibrations and beyond in order gauge productivity and be able to discuss their reports. However, they're seeing a very small piece of the picture and are making apples-to-oranges comparisons. For example, an engineer in a new repo will look way more productive than an engineer in a legacy repo if you look at just lines of code. Visibly's goal is to help make comparisons apples-to-apples and to help you, the IC, see how your tracking in real-time so that you're not surprised later. In addition, Visibly aims to make a more holistic picture of your work so that invisible work that you're doing, like code review, mentorship, design docs, etc, can be captured and used to your benefit.

The intention is to give teams and ICs more knowledge so that they can grow and adapt more quickly and not be surprised by perf at the end.

Moreover, today we don't have a manager portal and have prioritized the IC dashboard. Although it is on the roadmap, managers will see what you see and we are working to make it easy to share highlights and other positives of your performance to them to help avoid this.

I truly understand the concern, but I'm hoping the framing presented and the Visibly team's values around this help ease it for you.
Bullshit. Most enlistment contracts specify a particular career field. The troops in combat arms are there because they chose that option. The Pentagon isn't going to take a dental assistant and reassign them to infantry unless they specifically request that change (and meet various eligibility criteria).
His point was that there is a big difference between building a product and operating a service. I can understanding not wanting to do the latter, because it's a COO job and unless you like doing that it is not fun.

That's what the article says, but the chart in the article casts quite a bit of doubt on that explanation (it's obviously an accelerator). Indeed, two paragraphs later, the article states "Census Bureau data reveals manufacturing construction spending has escalated from January 2020 until April 2023 in every region except New England and the Mid Atlantic."

If you assume that people make plans before spending a lot of money, you would think that the tipping point was back in 2019 or so. In fact, I know people that make machines that are used to make and outfit factories and they've been running at capacity for a long time. You might think it's crazy looking at that chart, but factory construction in the USA is currently constrained by availability of parts and people. People want to spend more than they're currently spending...

Plus, climate change is not the most existential threat.

That would be the biodiversity apocalypse in every part of the bio-web being caused by a myriad of pollutants, pesticides, monocultrue farming, habitat destruction, light pollution, and hundreds of other scaled-up human activities, all leading to the breaking of the food web.

When the food web fails, it'll be nonlinear, and humans will not do well.
There is also cold hard statistics that prove your point:

https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/konzern/konzernprofil/zahlen...

IC and ICE ratio of being on time within 15 minutes of schedule: 82% in May 2023

RB/RE ratio of being on time within 15 minutes of schedule: 98% in May 2023

Or in other words, ICEs are late roughly 10 times as often as RB/REs are.
I agree with the guess, that's likely to happen because a) if you're already using the official app you don't care about increased tracking or monetization and b) most are unaware of spez.

The only bit I don't agree with is viable competitors, the problem is a little deeper, in that even if there was a viable competitor people still won't move because it's not an exact clone and continuation of their profile (follower numbers, interaction expectations, etc). The rest of your assumptions remain, but I think this is a bit important to talk about so we don't mislead people into creating clones that never take off when they could be creating something new that will take off.

I run a small sub, about 50 people.

One day I looked at it, not logged in.

Turned out there was a post, "pinned by moderators", at the top of the post list, exhorting people to join the sub lounge - that real-time chat thing Reddit was pushing.

I never made that post, nor did I approve it, nor did I ever see it in the mod list of posts.

I logged in, and went to the mod list of posts - and lo and behold, somehow pinned to the bottom of the list of posts, so before the oldest post, is this post.

Reddit made that post, pushed it into my sub, pinned it, and hid it from me, not only by forcing it last in the list of posts, but also because when I log in as admin, the post is not shown to me!

Bloody hell.

At that point I knew Reddit could not be trusted.
That's the thing, because of Huffman's instability and childish behavior in previous years, his words have no meaning here.

Reddit is still a decent-sized company with a whole team of people who've likely been running the numbers. Third party apps like Apollo are a nerd concern anyway, and nerds are outnumbered on Reddit these days; I'm sure most users are happily poking away at the first party apps.

There's a nice handy fusion ball in the sky; but that isn't sufficient for CO2 removal, and if we do have a genuine incentive to remove it, I wouldn't want to bet that the incentives stop at any particular level and thus would give equal a priori credence to us ending up with too much or too little atmospheric CO2 with such technology.
I bet the only users they lose will be the real power-users, ya know, volunteer moderators and that sort.

Hopefully for the owners’ sake they manage to finish their IPO before that whole situation explodes.

It is because all branches of the military are struggling to recruit. IMHO it is because there is a mismatch in the mentality of the people at the top of the military and the people they want to enlist.
> "It's just a language model."

This is true. The base pretrained model is even technically a Markov chain. As they have been getting more and more powerful with more parameters and compute and dataset sizes they've been unlocking more and more powerful cognitive capabilities.

> "I've asked it to prove the Riemann hypothesis, GPT-4 replied it can't, since none of the training data say anything about such proof."

This is some alignment/docility/lobotomy that the RLHF did. The raw base model would never say it. This is part of their No Tay No Syndey push.

> "Then I asked it to prove statements of the implications of said hypothesis (I tried 2 or 3, don't remember which), without calling them by name or mentioning Riemann, and it confidently proved them in a way that it reads like it knows what its doing, though it really doesn't. It just takes bits and pieces from proofs in the same field of mathematics that kinda hold together language-wise."

Yes it's true. Even though these LLMs have unlocked so many cognitive capabilities, they are still not yet powerful enough to prove the Riemann hypothesis. They aren't quite yet to the level of scientists who can advance the state of the art in their field. Some will say it's an inherent limitation, but I disagree, for complicated reasons that are easy to make superficial and pithy arguments against.
Thanks for the very useful information.

I agree with the sentiment already expressed that PDF format would be desirable (for me: to use the document in teaching entrepreneurship).

In general, could I suggest working on a flow-chart that embodies incorporation best practices regarding the typical order of things, a sort of "playbook"? Also, it would be fantastic to hear from successful startups which order to things they followed, and where they diverted from orthodoxy (e.g. Google skipped some steps in its IPO process, angering investment banks in the process but coming out of it fine). When you don't know what you are doing and you cannot buy top dollar advice, it's probably best to follow the well-trodden path, but most won't know what that looks like.

Another comment: It would be superb if someone collected similar information for other jurisdictions (London, Paris, Berlin, Talinn, Singapore).
I agree that there won't be a mass exodus but I still think this is the death of Reddit.

I suspect the users that leave may not contribute much to Reddit's bottom line but their contribution to the community is critical for Reddit to succeed.

A consumer looking at memes is probably okay with the official app but moderators and power users (who tend to post most of the popular content) skew towards third-party apps and tools.

Without those mods and power users, you no longer have anything resembling quality content so even the meme consumers leave.
It's possible, they just make it as annoying and difficult as possible.
This is certain. Can you imagine how embarrassing it must be? A solo dev did what you couldn't all because you were too busy force feeding everyone ads. I would love to know what these executives tell themselves to convince each other they are not the bad guys.

I'm in the same boat tbh, website and app are good enough for me, I really don't understand the need for other apps.
The biggest annoyance I have with old school forums is the single threaded nature of them. Reading through an entire 200 post thread to see if anyone actually responded to the one question that was asked in the third post is just incredibly inefficient and annoying.
You're right about this. And it makes discussion, much less "debate", so difficult. I'm pro-5G but willing to entertain the anti-5G evidence because what if there was some and it was true or at least unexplained?
So my point is that protectionism undermines things like innovation by creating protected industries that don’t need to be innovative.

Also I see no evidence that he was accused of blackmail. A linked comment in the Reddit thread states:

>Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million.

The linked comment is from "BuckRowdy", apparently not even an employee of Reddit and that is not "blackmail". To me that's "hey, acquihire me and my company for 10 million and then you don't have to do the work!"

I think we probably agree on some of the broad strokes, but interpret the details differently.

Regardless about how much we export, prices are tightly coupled to supply and demand. If your theory holds, we should see a commensurate increase in cost. It doesn't matter if net exports go down unless there are effects from steep tariffs.

I agree that a large part of that many Americans are unwilling to do that work for that pay. And yet they are beneficiaries of that low-pay work in the form of low food costs. I find it particularly unsettling when those who directly benefit simultaneously demonize the immigrants who they derive some of that benefit. However, there have been studies showing that Americans underproduce migrant labor in industries like agriculture. So it's not just the pay, it the ability to produce. Similar work quotes farmers as saying they literally can't hire Americans to do the work. Unless I suppose you want to pay them salaries that risk farms being unsustainable financially. The extension of these points is if you were to hire Americans at an American wage, you get both less production and a higher cost while simultaneously risking the solvency of the farms.

I also agree that the use of an immigrant underclass is dystopian. Especially when you factor in the abuse that occurs in workplaces where employees are fearful of recourse due to their immigration status. And yet it happens and one of the often used excuses is that it's necessary to essentially subsidize a certain quality of life for Americans.

FWIW, it's usually termed "general" labor rather than "dumb" labor. You're point here seems to contradict your previous point that immigration also brings down the wages of skilled jobs. They way they do both is if they are represented in both skilled and unskilled employees.

As far as construction, this is largely region-dependent. (That's why I put the south in the original response. It's especially reliant on immigrant labor.) A rough rule of thumb is that labor is 20-40% of construction cost. Regardless, in my region, immigrants are the bulk of skilled labor as well. Again, anecdotal, but once you peel back the thin veneer, you can see how much of the American lifestyle relies on immigrant labor. And simply banning them in the hope that it increases housing availability will have many second order effects.

You also need some form of window management, and if you like tiling windows, Linux has the most options by far.
From reading the transcript it reads to me that Reddit says Apollo is costing them $20 mil a year from lost opportunity cost, which I take to mean advertising/tracking et? The Apollo dev seems skeptical of that cost and is jokingly suggesting that if they cut him a $10 mil check, they can make it up in 6 months purely from getting that "opportunity" back with the added benefit Apollo just disappears.

I look at less of a threat and more of a calling the bluff...

It's my understanding that Apollo users make up a fraction of a percent of active users. Reddit almost certainly doesn't care. Fact is they've taken in over a billion in funding and aren't really returning a profit, charging for API access starts moving them in the right direction though.
Billions wasted pursuing publication over meaningful effort.
