The North Atlantic heat flux of the air-ocean interface changed and some one more knowledgeable might tell how many terajoule stay in the atmosphere a little bit longer probably altering the weather pattern as we like to know them.
> None of these clients filter ads. They just return the API results. Reddit could have in theory returned ads and blocked clients who didn't (or required them to pay some/more money). Instead, they decided to charge extortionate amounts, essentially causing 3rd party apps to be unable to afford them.

Or, you know, just reasonable price for API access. Even $2/mo gonna compensate them for lost ads multiple times over
I caved in and briefly decided to see the front page. It’s jarring how barren it is.

Front page is filled with posts from 16 hours ago.

I know a vocal dissident claimed it didn’t matter but looks like the power law is kicking in.

When the 1% of creators mostly stop posting, the 90% of lurkers will have nothing to consume.

It’s still up in the air how much it’ll matter but I’m cautiously optimistic.
I’d turn down any compromise to my work or my integrity if I already have enough money to retire. The kids and grandkids need to earn their own comfort after they are out of the house.
>2. I hate having to install and manage third-party libraries on all systems where I might want to run something.

I feel the same way. Rust is pretty bad in this sense because you have to install an entire third party compiler and toolchain from outside of your repositories. Usually recommend in the form of,

>curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

And if you don't install the third party rustc from out of repos your rustc is only able to compile code written $now till about $now + 3 months. After using perl it was really painful to try to compile random rust code I found. It's not that it's impossible to write forwards compatible rust, it's just that rust devs are mostly hostile towards it. Reactions to this comment will be, "3 months is too old to expect things to compile. You're holding back progress." And that's a legit POV. But one I'm glad Perl doesn't share.
Stunning and Brave!
Brave is chromium based, which immediately means it's not going to help with anything
Because a wet-bulb temperature of 35C is generally considered deadly, perhaps as low as 31C. Global warming that kills large swathes of Burma or India would be a household term I'd think.

Twitter seems to be on a poor trajectory. What Reddit is up to is bad enough, but if the leadership was looking at Twitter and thinking "yeah, let's do that", that would be even sadder.
A lot of novels are weird. It's straightforwardly a novel you don't need to put it in quotes.
Agreed, whatever they set up (in the past? currently??) to auto-mod is insanely capricious. My six year old account, with three blogs, got completely deleted with ZERO notification. They just go to the 404 page, I can't reuse the names either. What a joke!
Given that such rapid and severe deviations as shown in the charts are unheard of at this scale, perhaps a little panic is justified. It’s certainly worrying.
> Post 2016 the messaging from most commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia) seemed to be that they were going to be the ones benefiting from a brain drain of Americans leaving the country.

I can't find the article now, but the well-publicized crash of Canadian immigration's website on US election day 2016 was actually because of maintenance, not because hordes of Americans hoping to flee north overwhelmed the site.

>Canada was supposed to become an "AI Superpower"

This was repeated so often that it became a punchline in /r/canada.

>Some companies leverage this and have floors of international devs they park in Canada for a fraction of their US counterpart through a subsidiary.

My understanding is that this is the norm for FAANG offices in Canada: Mostly non-North American people who are either waiting for a US visa or (as you said) can't get one, plus the odd Canadian who wants to stay home for family or personal reasons.
You can't have in-person conversations when the community is supporting someone with a rare disease. However, many conversations don't fit into this class, and some would be better happening in-person. All of these things are true, so you still need Reddit alternatives.
The killer feature of Reddit (or any other silo) is that you don't have to maintain it. Even when your interest change and hobby x no longer interests you, the content you put there stays there. I've seen so many small community websites come and go, fall into disarray, succumb to spam and eventually close down. Maintaining pages long term is hard.
i'm not sure what to say to this -- my question was rhetorical

A novel novel, got it. I actually thought it was a pretty straightforward read, but to each their own. According to the novel Termination Shock it could just take an eccentric billionaire to launch a geoengineering effort like that (though with some blowback from state actors) - of course there aren't any of those around, so that's clearly fiction...

Orion browser by Kagi is a browser you can pay for. Another one I know of is SigmaOS. Both are Mac only, not sure about the state of things on other platforms.
Just from introspection I wonder if the problem with getting people to pay is more about friction than preserving resources or being a freeloader. I don't want to think about my overall budget for services at each turn when I'm presented with a paywall or a donation page. Not to mention getting out my payment method. I don't want to pay into an exclusive communication protocol, I want to know any of my friends could join. Etc. And overall it's just not something we're used to doing.

I gotta wonder if I'm not alone, whether the solution might be in presentation and organization.

Degaussers don’t work period. I’ve heard the theory that The hard drive case functions as a faraday cage. Whatever the cause the evednce backed method is best. Grab a random selection of drives out of your degausser output tray. You’ll be able to get data off of all of them. Some may even boot. (The above led to our company buying a bunch of crushers)

Yeah, but that last bit is so valuable. How often have I answered a technical question by adding "Reddit" to the search query. Having discussion indexable raises the value of any community.
I was a big Usenet nerd, then switched to Reddit in the late aughts. Went back today and it was a ghostland, at least the stuff I used to frequent. Guess I need to look better, ha.
>Only some small groups were actually driven off.

Small groups and individuals can be extremely important. It's less about the raw numbers of 'how many <X> did we gain/lose' and more about 'what kind of tone are we setting'.

When Reddit allowed /r/the_donald to flourish, what sort of message did that send? When there was a purge in/of leftist communities, what sort of message did that send? Politically, what Reddit allows is actually quite narrow, and it's trending toward mainstream sanitized neoliberal center-right (aka 'advertiser-friendly').

When Reddit started to corral everyone into one shitty app by breaking the mobile web experience, what message did that send? And now, what message is being sent with this API cash-grab?

Reddit's positioning is constantly chafing against Reddit's core demographic. The people who operate Reddit don't understand what they want (aside from $$$), don't understand their customers/content providers, and now seem unwilling to even listen to their customers/content providers.

Many messages stacked up over the years eventually form a story. What's the story of Reddit?
> Because if it isn't then reddit can simply revoke their access.

And then we are right back at the complaints that reddit is killing 3P clients.
I'm not questioning those statistics, really. Nonetheless I'll continue to go with my own experience on this. I typically have hard drives in use for 7-10 years or so before replacing them for something with higher capacity. This has never caused any issue. And when I replace a hard drive, I keep the old one in storage as an extra backup. I've copied data off of 20+ year old drives from storage without a problem before (although that's a bit different than using them daily).

In any case, should a hard drive fail, it's not of great significance because of redundancy and backups. Also, spinning platter drives usually give plenty of warning of impending failures.

Used hard drives remain very attractive to me.
Seems you did not follow the conversation very closely. Few things

1. No trust spez. so anything he says can just be toss out. He has Zero creditably at this point

2. Almost universally everyone was fine with the plan to charge for API access, the problem came in when they wanted to charge fees well outside what anyone would believe is fair or even "with in market reality" then proceeded to lie and denigrate about developers

3. Reddit is the source of the unprofitably, it is largely their cost structure that is the problem, not revenue. They want to fix it with revenue side only modifications and not cost structure. They ballooned their costs under the former CEO's brain dead plan to move everyone to CA or NY. Even though I believe they are reversed their in office requirement, they still have most of the costs that came with that move. That is just one of many examples.
I seen these claims, but I've never seen a publicly available demonstration of these exploits.

Converting random bits into meaningful data would seem to be the sticky point.

TBH, once the feature/task/project is done...you're working on something else and all those thoughts and TODOs quickly become stale.

CTRL-A + DEL is your friend, post-work.

The biggest value of keeping notes during a project is to prevent you from getting sidetracked by distractions. Write down the thought so it's out of your head, then get back to the task at hand.

DO NOT put them in your project backlog. That's how you get a 800+ list of items that get ignored and only add a huge mental weight to your backlog management. If you're going to ignore them for 3yrs and then finally delete them, why not start by deleting (not writing) them now?
I completely agree with this sentiment. We should either remove the sulfur scrubbers from ships, start solar dimming around the poles, or both. It's an emergency and we're feeling the shocks right now.

Another example, the war in Ukraine is accelerating the clean energy revolution in Europe, cutting down on air pollution. How's that going to help their drought? Will the EU act on national interests?

This is good for procedural generated 2D worlds. Think Hollow Knight, but expansive across infinite environments. Just randomly generate the control image and have the LLM generate the theme. Combine that with LLM generated lore and the possibilities are unlimited.

We have the technology to do this right now.
The difference with Twitter is that Reddit's core is moderators. Reddit is moderators.

Reddit thinking they can piss off moderators an incredible level of not understanding what makes their company run.

> HTTPS means the network connections between the app and the backend are opaque to third parties including the user.

It means the payload is. HTTPS alone doesn't have any special considerations for hiding the domain, which I think is visible so the request can be routed correctly. And since a lot of ad-blocking is based on domain, that ought to work.

We don't need to rank eras and it doesn't hurt to make some comparisons or think about how life used to be. The main issue is people comparing while omitting large issues, not people claiming specific eras are better than others.
"Hate Groups" are defined as groups that hate a protected class.

IE: Its fine to hate Nazis, because Nazis are not a protected class. Its not fine to hate Transgender people, because Transgender people are a protected class.

Its fine to hate "hate groups", because "hate groups" are not a protected class.

-------------

The problem is not with "hating on hate groups". I'm pretty sure there are people who want men to be a protected class (IE: Mens' rights groups). Which... I dunno if that's a good idea and the groups that advocate that are kinda icky. But sure, we can debate whether or not that's needed.

But if the debate is "hate groups are ambiguous and illogical", I'm going to have to disagree with you. Its just that we don't consider white people or men to be protected classes, and that's what pisses some people off.

At the extreme end: at no point should Nazis or Ku Klux Klan ever be considered a protected class. Trying to minimize these group's influence on our society is the entire damn point of this hate-group definition.
As a matter of policy? Like you can't work on one of these platforms if you don't comply with their ideology? Or more like "this is the shitty place we've come to as a society?..."

I wonder how many extremists contributed to the reddit code base over the years.
"Apollo" by Murray and Cox is a wonderful book on the engineering history of Apollo that covers this in some detail. One of the best popular engineering (and engineering management) books I've ever read, along with other HN favorites like Ignition!, Soul of a New Machine, Masters of Doom, etc. Highly recommended.
There's a Hacker News conversation about that right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36293789
Sounds like a good opportunity for a community-organized effort to crapflood the subs and make the scabs' lives a living hell.

Furthermore, the people most pissed off at Reddit aren't just the moderators, it's also a lot of the power users who post the vast majority of the content. So Reddit would have to hire a bunch of scab "power users" to post content. And a lot of subreddits are based on original content, not news links, so real power users won't be so easy to replace.
>>Diet soda actually tastes damn good these days, there isn't really a reason to drink regular soda.

Oh god I couldn't disagree more. I literally can't stand the taste of diet pepsi/coke, the sweeteners leave such an awful aftertaste on my tongue.
That's an entirely separate discussion from what is being talked about right now. They are being dishonest about the service they provide; users are responsible for the communities working at all. Their representation of the situation as for-profit company vs. freeloading users is a slap in the face to the many years of engagement that gave them this platform.

They are well within their rights as a company to attempt to monetize further. The problem is that they seem willfully ignorant of where their value actually comes from.
This depends on the sweetener. There have been recent articles linking bad health effects to erythritol and sucralose that I am aware of.

I think it's very strange to say it's uniquely American when there have been, historically, far more tyrannical governments in Europe than just about anywhere else in the world and countries like Germany have criminalized basically any positive display/speech about their past tyrannical government. Your views may not be uncommon, but they're certainly not universal, and even if they were, that wouldn't make them correct, or even well thought out.

>I'm saying that people shouldn't discuss immigration policy through inciting to violence and racism. And I'm saying that Elon Musk is absolutely the last person I'd want to be the arbiter of what speech is legal or not.

Yes and I still think I'd rather be kicked off twitter by Musk than locked in a jail for saying the wrong thing. I honestly have no idea why you believe that the members of your government are more fair/just/whatever than anyone else, including Musk. They're not, and that's why they should have limited power.
> There is another possible input to this heating worthy of note. Dust from the Sahara typically blows west this time of year, blocking incoming radiation while trapping existing heat. So far this year the dust has not come. The lack of dust is notable and could also be a direct cause of some of the North Atlantic heating.

This caught my eye as a potentially much worse catastrophe in the short term than the extreme temperatures. That Saharan dust feeds several ecosystems like the Mediterranean and the Amazon with crucial micronutrients like iron and phosphorus. If that transfer stops for very long, they could start to collapse
I don't think Mastodon has "promotion". If Alice posts once and Bob 20 times, you'll see Bob all over your feed and can easily miss Alice's post unless you seek it out. There is a retweet type feature (I forget the name) but I'm not sure it really does much to get Alice's message out to a wider audience.

I think it is time to check Fark again after a 16 year hiatus.

At the time one of the reasons for moving from Fark to Reddit was that browsing Reddit looked more "professional" - ie something you could get away with at work...

EDIT: I checked and it seems... dead

There are still a few sub sections and most articles get single digit comments.

I really thought Fark would have grown in these years. It seemed to have carved a niche for aspiring radio DJs for "news of the weird variety".

How is this on the front page? It's as poorly rooted in science as anti-global warming articles.

This level of alarmism is dangerous because thoughts of others imprison us if we’re not thinking for ourselves... why would a young person care about the climate if it's already too late.
Can somebody explain this part?

> By cleaning up shipping fuels, massive regions of the world’s oceans that were protected from heating by shipping sulfate aerosols are now experiencing rapid warming. This includes the main shipping routes between Asia and the Western US as well as the major routes from the Easter US to Europe and the Middle East. And that’s where the warming is happening. This rapid heating is known as “termination shock,” and it appears to be what’s happening right now.

>+ Significantly more income inequality than 20+ years ago

This is slightly true. Gini index when I was born was 38ish and now it's 40ish. So slightly worse but also because the rich have gotten richer. Not because the poor have gotten poorer in an absolute sense.

>+ Stagnated wages relative to inflation for much more than 20+ years

That's an odd way to say things aren't different from what they were 20 years ago.

>+ Economic mobility is significantly worse

I don't think that is true. Do you have a cite.

Addressing one more:

>Health insurance costs that significantly outpace inflation

Anyone talking about health insurance is just not remembering how it was. If words like "HMO" and "pre-existing condition" and "Lifetime maximum" don't send shivers down your spine then you're not correctly remembering how terrible it was. For all the flaws the US health care system has it's simply miles ahead of what it was pre-Obamacare.
My current understanding is that it is no longer possible to detect those differences on modern drives. I believe it has come down to density. Where it was possible when density was much lower, and you could detect some residual information from the wide tracks. But things are so dense now those residuals aren't physically possible.
> Being a large-size person is not a choice, as many people mistakenly believe,” Lukacs tells CNN Travel.

More importantly, they're not waking up in the morning and making the decision that they're not going to be a large person.

I could be convinced otherwise if there were any medical evidence that it's possible to be obese on a sustained, healthy diet. I don't believe that evidence exists though.
> Brave --- the easy way to fix this and lots of other privacy related issues affecting the most popular web browsers.

Unfortunately any browser with telemetry turned on by default is not fixing privacy related issues, but is making them worse.
Again, I'm not saying anything about that. I am saying that public opposition to some Russian persons is not because they're Russian it's because of their direct public actions and statements - as cited in my original post.

Claims of an anti-Russian bias or set of hate crimes is literal Kremlin propaganda which amongst other things was used to justify the Ukraine invasion, the South Ossetia invasion in Georgia, and has been a general talking point as to why Russia should consider invading many other of its neighbours.
