While it is true that larger subreddits are unlike forums in that sense, smaller and medium subs can be very much like that.
It's less about making marginally more money, and it's more about retaining Meta's grip on attention as it shifts from one medium (mobile/web) to the next (AR/VR/SC).

He's probably not going to make more money by having a bulkhead in the new personal computing paradigm (unless the ads are 10x as valuable, IDK). He's more importantly aiming to defend the current "proportion of attention spent on personal computing".

If other cos shift consumer attention to mediums where Meta has no presence or is excluded from, there goes his market cap.
Looks cool though I think most regular users will be confused by the double panels.

I wonder what makes it web based? I thought it would run in the browser but apparently not.
> Race and gender swapping every established popular character?

What exactly makes that "progressivism"? Also why don't you consider characters like X-23 a gender swapped Wolverine?
I got burned on this sort of thing for cddb. Hundreds of discs entered in. Suddenly that data was someone elses and they charged for it.

No, it's per app.
I think Star Wars is great today for what it accomplished at the time. I enjoy it to a large extent because it is legendary. If you view it in isolation, without the background, knowledge of the era and what impact it had on society, you lose a lot of the feeling watching it. It is like a time machine. Just a fact like that Reagan's strategic defense initiative was called the Star Wars program in the press says tons about the impact the movie had on its audience at the time. This cannot be repeated 40 years later.
Arch is awesome. It's not a beginner's distro, but once it's set up it tends to keep working.

I mean specialized venture funds exist, which is somewhat close to what you are describing.

I think the way you understand startup formation is wrong though. Most startups are not formed as ways to directly address existing desires or pain points. Most startups are, fundamentally, iterations on existing business models trying to unseat their predecessors through more subtle innovations, riding technology trends, or simply a large war-chest of capital and talent.

This isn't a completely accurate view either. You could cite things like biotech which have their own weird dynamics when it comes to startups. Fundamentally, however, I don't think the "market for ideas to solve problems" model works when thinking about startups. Many people have made some variant of this point, and probably argued for other things being the critical factor (e.g "investing in a founder is the most import important thing"). Ultimately, I don't believe there is one single way to think about how to fund companies that will be successful startups. Mostly, I think investors rely on intuition, which is often wrong, but perhaps better than anything else.
While you're correct, you're being unnecessarily pedantic regarding the original point: it's very likely there are employees who are shareholders.
I'll hold my cat like a baby, and she'll knead in the air. Or when getting pet lying on her side. I think it's a happy state thing for her.
FYI, OpenAI has denied that there have been any unannounced changes to the models.

And it seems more than possible that people see what they want to see in LLM output. So I would be careful to make completely unsupported claims.
I certainly wonder about the "do something else" in the sense of serial entrepreneurs. If I could cash in once I'd be done. If I had enough money to retire on, I would. Run a cat shelter or something.

But the actual answer here is probably a combo of a few things: One, running a company is probably not as much fun as building a company. Much of my career has been "pioneer" roles where nobody else has done the job before. At a certain point, the foundation is laid and the problems to solve are different and often less interesting -- at least to me. It's the build vs. maintain thing.

Two, they started with good and noble intentions. Money got involved. A lot of money got involved. The noble intentions were replaced with reality.

Three, have you met users? As a site grows you have to deal with more and more people and people can be very demanding and not very appreciative. Coupled with the previous factors, I think original founders get burnt out and decide to take the cash and move on. The allure of building anew is too much, the grind of maintenance is too much, and the cash is too good to pass up.

Also four... there's a peak for any site. You often don't know when or how, but you do now that someday your site's maximum value, interest, participation, and all that is going to peak and then decline. Sticking around to fight the good fight may just mean passing up a payday and being left with a declining property nobody wants anymore.

On reddit, for the A/C test... yea, I'm going to be cynical there that they're looking to sell the information (and it isn't so much trying to protect users). But also that 3rd party clients are not showing ads and may be poorly behaved when provided a free API with (what at one time) was generous rate limiting.
That's a limit on Reddit's side. To download more, you need to download your GDPR archive and import it using this tool. There's a command for that.
That’s not correct as far as I understand it. Prior to Wickard v. Filburn the federal government did not have the power to ban substances (since it isn’t explicitly specified in the constitution). If congress had passed a law doing so, that law would have been considered unconstitutional. Wickard v. Filburn is obviously ridiculous and should be overturned, but it never will be.

> normal Internet social life

I guess I'm abnormal? They only way I contact any friends/family is text message or email. I've never used Facebook, Instagram, or whatever other platforms people use to "keep up with a normal Internet social life". Yet, I have a plethora of friends and don't feel like I have any problem keeping up with family. Maybe people don't really need these platforms.
Focusing on tech and scalability before getting users will just result in a well-engineered ghost-town. People would rather use something slow and buggy if that's where the activity is.

It's much more of a marketing and PR challenge than a tech challenge. Having a site that works well would be nice too, sure, but finding a way to get tons of users signed up (and keeping them engaged) is far more important.
In my experience all non-stick strategies are a hoax, including teflon XD

The "greatness" of China is an excellent example of Cheops' Law: You can do anything you put your mind to if you have an endless supply of expendable labor.
There are so many wrongs with your statements that I don't know where to start. I'll just tackle one of them.

"build a high speed rail network", implying that US is failing there.

I certainly hope US doesn't suffer the same fate.
I was modder few years ago. Eventually I find out that I sent more time by modding than playing game itself. I finished Morrowind once a did not pay much attention to sidequests which is about 80% of whole quests.

It is rabbit hole but it gets better. For example I totally abandon graphic mods. It alters vanilla aesthetic, there is literally endless options and usualy coast GPU performance. So focusing on bugfixes is achievable in complexity.
Thank you.

Also, the headline is self-contradictory. How could it be scrubbed from public memory and then there's an article. Maybe they tried? But apparently that's not really true either.
The crux of my comment is that I genuinely don't understand why we weren't able to secure funding. I mention the mockups only to point out that they didn't have a working product, whereas we did/do.

If I had to guess, I'd say they were able to "tell the money story" better than we were. That is, being able to say to investors "you give us [x] amount of money and we're shooting for [y] amount of revenue in [z] number of years". I felt like we had a compelling pitch, but for some reason investors just never committed.
Reddit has a Q&A sorting mode.
It took a constitutional amendment to do it at the federal level. Congress would not have been able to pass such a law constitutionally prior to Wickard v. Filburn.
Yes, had things been different they would have been different. I'm not sure what the point of that statement is, honestly.
I think you're right. The storyteller is so important.
Yeah but they are pants.

I'd have to go 10 rounds with Tyson Fury to experience reality like the quest feels.

Turning something, anything on and off a few times seems well within the design limit for such a device.

If a standing desk and shredder can handle that, then a smart meter should very much also be able to.

None of this was your original point, anyway. You instead chose to focus on a completely different and irrelevant failure case.

There is a world of difference between "voltage regulation issues might cause major problems" (your point) and "turning the thing on and off too quickly causes the whole thing to self-destruct" (the actual point).
this should not be a revelation - battery swap banks have been in operation in Taiwan since 2015, it's the obviously stop gap solution to country scale charging networks. A hybrid solution would be idea for the US

Regardless of how hard it is to check the references (which is not really all that hard), it's the job of a lawyer.
Fundamentally? No, it's all just machine language in the end.

Practically? Yes, generators are often more memory-efficient, and thereby often more compute-efficient.
I do find that there is no better indicator about the quality of a sub-reddit, than that class of requirements.

The more karma/age/posts they require, the more likely the place is a cesspool of some sort.
Happy to discuss, preferably via issue on github.com/google/highway, would you like to open one?
"It's been demonstrated over and over and over again."

Well, yes. But it's also been demonstrated over and over again the risks of centralized sites. Maybe, just maybe, one of these days that lesson will stick and communities will take a longer term view. It seems like the cycle is happening a bit faster each time now, so maybe folks will get tired of the "damn, time to move to another site, again..." thing.

Or not. Convenience tends to trump lots of other considerations most of the time.
SO also had pretty serious influencers in the tech community to bootstrap everything.

However I’d guess this is existential for them. I’d guess an AI is checking and generating a huge percentage of homework (and work) and that’ll only increase. The place to attack SO is through the chat / code gen UI and git repo’s. New languages and frameworks are probably on GitHub in their most hardened state approximately as quickly as snippets land on SO, and ChatGPT’s upvote is a good indicator of quality sans SO.
I honestly don't think anyone else knew about the RCE until yesterday.
Huffman's giving us all a masterclass in how to be absolutely atrocious at PR, seriously how on Earth did Reddit as a company allow this to go ahead? It's like the tech industry equivalent of a Liz Truss speech.
> Of course you couldn't use it as a source when writing a paper

Much the same as wikipedia and similar.

But, like wikipedia, they were sometimes useful starting points with those short articles hopefully giving you a keyword or two, or a reference to other articles in the encyclopedia itself, so you had something useful to search the rest of the library (by hand or by asking the original intelligent search algorithm: a friendly librarian!) for fuller texts about.

Also as a child I remember just randomly skipping to a page and finding some interesting fact, then following the references to elsewhere. I could spend hours learning random things I'd never actually need to know that way!
While SMS has been known to be the worst of all the 2FA methods, something is better than nothing.

Some people will not have hardware keys (passkeys). Or will not have the app. Deprioritizing the SMS factor and labeling it as a less secure method to the user would be best imo.
dogs do the same thing?
I get the frustration, but it still would to put pressure on them. Because even though the data might have been scraped/bought, it means that people would not go to reddit to find information, as it'd be deleted/worthless.

So yes, it's acknowledging that you can't take back the scraped data, but you can at least poison the well for others who would use it.

And yes, it would harm current users of reddit. That's kind of the point, because I don't think reddit makes any significant changes unless they get significant pushback from the thing they're trying to sell -- #s of users.
What do you think is fair? They dont owe Apollo anything and they dont want anything Apollo has to offer.

If we are being real, Reddit wants Apollo gone. The only definition of fair would be terms both reddit and Apollo mutually agree to, but that isnt going to happen.

Apollo had a good run while it lasted, and I hope the devs walk away with some money to show for it.
In fairness, he only seems to have released it in response to Huffman telling people that he was blackmailing him.
He was accused of blackmail!? He's lucky he did record, without the recording, people might have believed what spez was saying.

I can't imagine doing business with Reddit after their CEO outright lied to try to tarnish another developers reputation.

Warhammer 40k took a bunch of influences like Dune, Foundation, Starship Troopers, The Eternal Champion, A Death World Triology, and more.

StarCraft was definitely based on 40k with Zerg being tyranids, Terrans being the imperium with their marine unit looking like an ultramarine, and Protoss being like the elder because employees at blizzard wanted to make warhammer games and tried to get games workshop to license it. They altered it just enough to be different when games workshop declined. You can see some of that in Warcraft as well with their orcs being green
MAUI has had some growing pains and the rumors are that it's just a small team working on it at the moment. I think Microsoft may have bit off a bit more than they bargained for in part because they wanted to maintain a clear upgrade path for Xamarin.Forms and because they wanted to use native controls rather than just draw everything with Skia (like Flutter).

MAUI doesn't support Linux through official Microsoft channels, but there are people working on Linux support (I don't know what the state of that is at the moment).

.NET Core has been available on Linux for even longer then .NET 5. To make a long story short, Microsoft released .NET Core in 2016. Microsoft announced that .NET Core would be the future of .NET in 2019 and that .NET Framework (the old, proprietary, Windows-only .NET) would get security fixes and such, but wouldn't get any real updates. With .NET 5, Microsoft dropped the "Core" branding on .NET Core.

It's really easy to run things like .NET web services and such on Linux. You can even compile to a single binary.

Microsoft started retiring WinForms back in 2014. They open sourced it in 2018, but no one has really made adding support for non-Windows platforms a priority, especially since Microsoft put it into maintenance mode nearly a decade ago.

There are cross-platform GUI kits like AvaloniaUI and Uno Platform that some people like in addition to MAUI. Avalonia takes a Skia based approach like Flutter. Uno is a bit of a combination of Skia and some native widgets.
Funny how he keeps using the phrase “developers that want to work with us”. Clearly trying to suggest that some don’t (wonder which ones he thinks do not want to work with them /s)

I haven't studied the legalize, but I assume if they put all answers behind a paywall tomorrow nothing can be done. I don't think the license says they must share.

I suspect there’s going to be a lot of low hanging fruit with AR apps over the next couple of years thanks to Apple.
One interesting implication of AI is the potential decapitalizing of business. I.e, businesses will become more modular and not require things like as much dedicated admin to scale. This will not increase the likelihood of product market fit, (as many point out, that is impossible to model given supply constraints and inability to understand demand side revealed preference without some MVP). - however this may decreased the amount of capital needing to be placed at risk, allow fast failing etc.

You don't want to get it super hot (the oil/butter should not smoke). Medium heat is fine. They do take a long time to warm up to a uniform steady state temperature though (this is both an advantage and a disadvantage, since it means the temperature stays stable as you cook).

For instance, when making pancakes, my first step is putting the griddle on the range. Next, I start making the batter.

Of course, you can set the range to high and heat it up really fast, but then you end up risking overheating it.
