My contributions were possible because I and a bunch of other non-mods contributed. As I said, I expect the commercial entity to preserve my content until the entity decides not to, not some random third party.

My prior experience moderating other forums tells me the contribution of these community moderators are often way exaggerated and usually easily replaceable. Some form personality cults and periodic rotation would actually be a good thing.

Great comparision! as you can see on the linked page: https://storage.googleapis.com/avif-comparison/verification-...

They are comparing production encoders of AVIF, JPEG and WEBP with the reference implementation of JPEG XL. If anything, it is amazing to see how fast the reference implementation is. Remember initial AV1 days-per-frame perfomance?
I suspect that would be a far more effective protest, though if successful it may well kill the subreddits. The mods are trying to have their cake and eat it too: make a 'principled stance' without risk to their subreddits. That won't work.
Ownership is indeed a fuzzy concept, but the level of protection afforded to your "ownership" of land in America is orders of magnitude greater than that afforded to moderators or subreddits. If you want to draw an analogy to real property, Reddit is the "owner" of the "land" (subject, as always, to the whims of the state) and the moderator has a licence to reside there.
They did something like this again in 2021, and wouldn't even disclose what the tracer substance was.

„However, prolonged intake of a vegan diet with negligible taurine content leads to a decline of only ∼20% in circulating taurine in young healthy individuals (6, 7), suggesting that the ∼80% decrease observed in older people by Singh et al. at least partly reflects a loss of capacity for endogenous synthesis“

I built the Android app in 2013, and my best selling web app in 2021. The web app has just gotten beyond the $10,000 USD monthly recurring revenue metric.

For me (not the guy you responded to) the big thing is shoes. When I find a pair I like I’ll often buy two or three extra pairs (often online) in other colorways but when those wear out they usually aren’t made anymore or I want to try something new. Boots and shoes (especially rock climbing shoes) seem to never be consistently sized, even inside the same brand, and I need to try them on to get them to fit right. Can’t really think of anything else off the top of my head!
Why the wait?

Microsoft's MakeCode project already provides something similar, via compilation to C++, for quite some time now.

Ginger has a very strong taste, you might want to try making an infusion with it.

I am curious how this will play out. This is great news for Tesla and probably good news for future Ford and GM EV owner. Bad news for all the CCS charge companies out there but honestly screw them. They are generally some of the worst experiences out there and maybe this forces them to actually be better.

EA is genuinely one of the worst charging experiences I have ever had. The EA near my house is totally fine but while traveling it’s hit or miss. I tried using one last time because the Tesla supercharger had a 10min wait, I have an EA account, try to tap my account with my phone like always…does not work. Ok let me pay by credit card, it does not accept my main credit card so I use my backup, works. Charging starts then when my car gets to 60% it just stops, EA just stopped me. I try to restart the process and EA terminal says that I cannot charge anymore by credit card…What the heck. Just a terrible experience for something that should be so simple.
There are tons more out there, Microsoft hardly makes a difference being one more.

"Calling emergency services is the killer app for phones" - yes.

"Calling emergency services is the killer app for smartphones" - no. "Killer app " implies that this is the reason people buy them. If this statement was true then people would buy cheap feature phones.

It's worth repeating the original statement here:

> smartphones didn't have "a" killer app per sè I don't think, but they became part of everyone's daily lives in a really short timeframe. [...]

to which alach11 replied:

> The killer app for smartphones is being a phone.
Zed's right here, but if I can make a suggestion: if you get requests like this, ASK FOR THE MONEY. If companies can get something for free, sure they'll try and do that, but if they want a patch, and it's going to be some work, send them back a quote for what you think would be fair. Add in some expense for the inevitable paperwork and make sure it's a number that you'll be happy with.

Sometime you just have to put the sales hat on and ask for the money to close the sale.
>can do it, OK, then why damage things which are not yours?

Because your a terrorist or an AI looking to destroy mankind?

You're drifting off into is/ought territory in why people do things and that is something that is very difficult to predict and control.
Before they push for RTO “because collaboration “,they should make sure that everybody works in similar time zones. For me the real killer of collaboration is to work with with people who live in California, India and China on the same project. If you aren’t willing to sacrifice your personal life and talk to them at night, there is almost no collaboration possible. Being in the office doesn’t help at all there.

Highly likely that one of the risk factors they disclose in their prospectus is that the revenues are highly correllated with active user numbers and traffic and if those things change, revenues will be impacted. Even without this latest drama it would be amazing if they didn't have something like that in there.

Starting a competitor involves doing all the things that Reddit is doing (having a legal team, servers across the world and staff to operate them, making policy decisions, ...).

That is not at all the same as building an iOS client using an API as a one man show (or 1-3) and directly selling that.
There are already reports of some large subreddits shutting down permanently, such as programming humor.

The idea that this action can’t possibly hurt Reddit I keep seeing is amazing to me. It absolutely will hurt Reddit. Even if it’s not an existential blow. Reddit took a long time to get to where it is. Simply saying it can absorb all this like it’s nothing is myopic.

And FWIW, I’m glad most people aren’t as cynical as you, and willing to attempt to change things.
I haven’t tried iOS PWA push notifications yet, but I was under the impression that they should work similarly to the native ones. I agree that the standard is wonky, but if you develop a PWA with specific iOS polish, it might work well.

I'm changing my simracing rig from VR to triple-monitors for this reason. (And also the narrow FOV). When it works it's amazing. At least I can pretend the sweaty visor is because I'm wearing a racing helmet. But every 2 weeks or so something messes up and I have to spend an hour or two resetting things and reinstalling things.

Also only a few simracing games have really good VR support.

> The field is decades behind best practice because these systems have multi-decade operational lives.

This would be more convincing if not for the fact that smart meters are IIoT. They're a new thing. IIoT is kind of an unholy breed between those hardcore industrial engineers you talk about, designing hardware with multi-decade operational lives, and the people implementing the IoT part using webdev practices, trying to put Docker containers full of NPM modules onto the industrial devices (and if they can't fit there, then plugging them immediately upstream).

Now that latter group is (mis)using bleeding edge tools to develop greenfield solutions - and thus should very much be able to keep up with basic security practices developed in the last 20 years.
Sounds a bit like reddit and u/maxwellhill aka Ghislaine Maxwell and potentially others.
"In ruin" is probably too strong. But, there are lots of expectations that double-digit YoY revenue growth will continue forever. Growth that far exceeds audience growth. That's mostly from ads, and now the most lucrative queries have nothing but ads above the fold...videos are fully saturated with ads, better targeting is constrained by various privacy laws, Apple, etc. So that expectation cannot be met for much longer. They have squeezed all the easy juice. Growth will continue, but at a much lower rate that more closely matches audience growth.

So, "in ruin" may not be right, but there is some kind of big shift coming. The conditions they've enjoyed for a long time aren't going to hold.
A balloon?
One of they main reasons was that they had to: the cost of a more capable system was too high. In the last years that has improved drastically, and there are many usecases where the 5 USD increase in BOM needed to run JS/Python etc can be justified.
Not only have Russians flooded cities, they are also firing artillery into flooded areas to hamper rescue efforts: https://twitter.com/bayraktar_1love/status/16667845787473960...

If your mental model of the world sees Russia as a normal functional country instead of a terrorist state capable, willing and engaged in unrestricted warfare against civilians, then of course you'll find yourself in situations where you "don't understand" what's going on.
All this will result in is Reddit secretly taking over these subreddits, take out the mods and give them to "trustworthy" people. They will first ask nicely, and if you don't bend over, they will do so anyways.

I know it because it happened to me.
What does that have to do with anything? Is this some kind of purity test for you? During their 30 years of independence, Ukraine has struggled with corruption, authoritarianism, two revolutions against authoritarianism, and a Russian invasion. They've had bigger fish to fry at home than to cast judgement on neighbouring countries.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide_recognition a total of 34 countries have recognised the Armenian genocide as genocide. That's not a lot. Even the UK and half of Scandinavia haven't. That Ukraine hasn't means nothing, it doesn't mean they don't consider it genocide, and it certainly doesn't mean they're okay with genocide. You're being overly anal about this issue.

Unfortunately, its likely much worse than merely failing to do fact checking.

India has been handicapped by a highly insufficient educational system set up by the British (and later run by its puppets) for a very long time, that was meant to produce robots/slaves/peons, not independent thinkers.

They are finally having discussions about how to redesign the education system, to empower its people to become future leaders, innovators. Given that India has a very young population, if they do this redesign right, it will pay off handsomely in the future.

Of course, there are many parties who do not want to see that happen. So what do they do? They disrupt the public discourse taking place around this in the country by spreading disinformation via publications such as nature.com, that get scientists in India riled up against the education related gov't bodies, instead of collaboratively working with them.

For a good overview of how idealogical subversion of this kind is carried out I would recommend watching interviews of Yuri Bezmenov on youtube.
Yep that is what you want before you spend a lot developing a product line.
Can you still tell the difference between the real ringtone and the modern speaker system if you hard pan it to a single speaker? It's monophonic, with a simple timbre, and is fairly high pitched, all of which contribute to making interference between speakers easily noticeable when played on a stereo (or other multi-speaker) system.

Multi-speaker sound systems are inherently flawed because the different path lengths from speaker to ear cause constructive/destructive interference at different frequencies. Most of the time you don't notice it, but for some sounds it's obvious. Try listening to mono pink noise played on stereo speakers, and move your head from side to side. The effect is strongest close to the speakers and in an acoustically dry room. Compare to the same noise played on a single speaker.

As for the gunshot, it's probably just lack of volume, and I consider that a good thing. I don't want my sound system to cause hearing damage.
Their whole business model is that you have free labor to moderate the subs. They can't afford to pay for all subs and will become centralized in a few subs only.

It discusses important issues like

„ A key issue for any longevity intervention is whether it causes calorie restriction (which can extend life span) or acts through independent mechanisms. Singh et al. found that taurine supplementation did not affect food intake in mice but nonetheless caused a small decrease in body weight, indicating a calorie deficit. Energy expenditure was higher in taurine-treated mice and intestinal transit time was accelerated, although it is not clear if nutrient absorption was decreased. The change in intestinal behavior is intriguing, because taurine is conjugated to bile acids to form bile salts, which facilitate uptake of dietary lipids (1). It will be crucial to control for the effects of taurine on body composition and nutrient uptake in future studies.“
Thanks, how this compares to the iOS app?
If true, this iS why when asked if the CCP had ask to US data ByteDance replied that they had never received any such request. Well, the question and answer are curiously about two different things, and this the arrangement I suspected might exist. Give the CCP their own creds so they don't have to ask and you don't have to know.
But that convenient place is a single point of failure :3
Putting this another way that makes it less exciting: the more important a patent is to your future survival, the higher the quality.

Or another way: multiplying the average number of forward citations by the total, yielding the absolute number of forward citations, would result in the opposite graph: massive # of forward citations for university, less for incumbent, and least for startups.

It is almost a proxy for patent cost.
> People want to believe what they want to believe, I don't know if the propaganda is done to control people, or it's what the people actually want - to believe their government is a force for good, that we're the good guys, etc.

I'd put it a bit differently but I think we have the same idea in mind: people believe what resonates well in their minds because they are already tuned for this. So if someone likes to believe that natural medicine is good, then their mind is more likely to believe in big pharma conspiracies and that homeopathy is valid medicine (yes, I'm aware that natural medicine can be evidence-based and homeopathy is not natural).

In that sense, propaganda always needs to consider how minds are tuned already to give them something that they like to consume.
Well, I think most bolts don't go through that extensive QA process in general

But yeah I agree this one is your run of the mill engineering, if only done for a part that normally doesn't see such testing (maybe in Aerospace and military applications)

It seems it's part of the suspension so it would be natural to be a part that has tighter tolerances
I'm not talking about children at all. Adults are just as susceptible. A "nanny" state is a good thing to a degree.

I'm actually surprised reddit hadn't introduced more democratic options for controlling subreddits that reach a certain size. There may be a lot of users that really don't care about 3rd party apps and want to keep their content flowing
