It's a bit more complicated because these things are coupled. I think people are trying to draw deep distinctions to have a clear and simple answer to why the cost of nuclear rose but it is quite a lot of things that contribute and feed one another over time. As an incomplete example: anti-nuclear sentiments can make a government reduce the number of reactors they order or even cancel projects, this can then increase the cost of other reactors as low order counts don't scale well, causing others to cancel or delay orders as prices were higher than expected, and so on. Do this over 40 years.

There isn't any one thing that killed nuclear in the US, but rather a lot of little things. There's the anti-nuclear sentiment, there is big oil/gas disinformation campaigns (their climate campaigns were about making doubt of everything but them), it was a drop in price of crude oil during the Regan/Bush era, it was a change in regulation after Chernobyl after 3-Mile and after Fukushima, a rise in fossil fuel subsidies when nuclear had none (Regan/Bush/Carter), a decrease in DOE research funding of reactors, and it was many more things. The story and history matters. The complexity matters because it didn't die overnight.

This is important to understand because it also means fixing a single thing won't change things. Political will and support does matter but only gets the ball rolling as it prioritizes it to let the experts fix things. But the complexity means it won't be resolved overnight were we to magically get 100% of people onboard and passionate.

I wish nuclear proponents as well as opponents would recognize the inherent complexities of these problems. The truth is that stories like this aren't unique to nuclear and our oversimplification prevents us from solving many of our critical issues these days. The world is complex and messy. But I guess it is easier to garner support (an important factor) if we over simplify things. I just wish that would be the hook rather than the full story that we passionately defend.
Agreed. I think this is an issue in Apollo's math.

Enough to account for an order of magnitude? IDK
Being around the VC funding ecosystem, I can confidently say you’re not cynical. Some of the most frivolous startups got their funding in the zero interest rate era because no one was doing their due diligence. Sky high unicorn valuations allowed VCs to basically just fund everything. You didn’t have to have much beyond a pitch with made up projections and execution plan to get money, especially if you knew someone in the VC circles.

But now that most of those bubbles have burst, VCs are back doing what they were always supposed to do: due diligence. You’d be hard pressed to find funding unless you have a name or have a business that’s already doing great. And on the flip side, startups themselves are noticing this. My buddy’s startup has been approached by a bunch of different VCs encouraging him to pitch for funding and he’s refused. He’s realized that he’s already making money and has a solid business execution. He’s not willing to give up the gains for some extra cash. He’s taking the slow growth route.

100 queries by minute per openid for free is quite good. Doesn’t that cover the needs of the various 3rd party apps?

Edit: oh wait, maybe I misunderstood. Do they mean PER APP? I read it as PER USER. If it is per app that’s ridiculous.
I wonder whether AT Proto, the protocol used in bluesky, might make for a good base for a decentralized reddit alternative.

- public

- extensible

- bring your own client

- domains as usernames

- federated but with escape hatches so you're never tied to a single host

- considerations for twitter-scale from the start, eg with "big graph servers"

Still under a waitlist / closed for now / under very active development, but seems very promising.
Rather the opposite, actually. ATX power supplies have to supply -12V, -5V, 3.3V, 5V and 12V at the same time. A USB-PD charger only has to supply a single voltage.

And pretty much all power supplies are switched-mode power supplies anyways, whose controller usually requires you to explicitly define the output voltage using feedback components. Changing that to a variable power supply like USB PD doesn't really require much engineering.
How does that make sense? Apollo has been serving Reddit's porn to iOS users for years and Apple clearly supports it.
As an AI language model, I don't have opinions, but I can provide some information.

Weekly 1:1 meetings can be very beneficial for both the manager and the employee. It provides a regular forum for open communication, feedback, and goal setting. It also
helps to build trust and maintain a strong working relationship between the two parties.

During these meetings, both the manager and employee can discuss progress on goals, address any concerns or roadblocks, provide feedback, and address any personal or
professional development needs. This can help to ensure that everyone is working towards the same goals and can lead to increased performance and job satisfaction.

Overall, the effectiveness of these meetings may depend on the individuals involved and the nature of their work. Some may benefit more from more frequent or less
frequent check-ins. It's important to find what works best for each situation and adjust accordingly.

Interesting idea but there might be some issues.

I think this would dramatically increase ventilation needs. How many people are on base? Remember, you're not even getting 1 egg per chicken per day. At that point, you're in the chicken farming business, not the science base business.

Also, how long would the chickens last with zero exposure to natural sunlight and cramped conditions? It could be hard on them.

It was one of many factors of course. There's plenty of blame to go around. Votgle is still a net societal good and will provide clean energy for 60 to 80 years.

They specifically asked the NRC if the new rule would apply to Votgle and were told it would not since the design was certified prior to the rule. Then the NRC changed their mind and incurred billions of dollars worth of delays and no one seems to blame the NRC for this unnecessary delay.
How a now-retracted study got published in the first place?
Barrel jacks already have extra circuitry in quite a few of them. Dell is notorious for this; if you use a non-Dell charger it won't even let you charge your laptop.
In general I would agree, but the only reason the recordings were made public was because Reddit was straight up lying about the Apollo dev. So the recordings were released to prove that the Apollo dev was right.
Yes! They always show the tail as diametrically opposed to the sun! As it is of course.

So many careless artists have the comet tail as a sort of dragging-behind thing like rocket exhaust.

> The rule that you shouldn’t build your business on someone else’s API obviously applies here

Is there an alternative? If your business is an app around someone elses API, as it is in this case, Tweetbot, etc - it seems super reasonable no?

Yea the API could change at any moment. So maybe don't over leverage yourself. Play it safe, knowing any day could be the apps last.. but beyond that "building your business around someone else's API" isn't bad here is it?

I'd happily do it if it was going to make some money. So i'm kinda unsure where the distinction is for that phrase. When is it not a good idea? Seems a better phrase would be one that includes knowing what type of business you have.
Prohibition wasn’t repealed because we determined “alcohol isn’t so bad.” To this day, alcohol remains tremendously damaging to women. 70% of sexual assaults involve alcohol use by the perpetrator. 55% of domestic violence incidents involve alcohol use prior to the incident. Obviously that doesn’t exculpate the perpetrators. But those bad people will exist no matter what—alcohol pours fuel on the fire.

We repealed prohibition because it proved unenforceable. And Irish and Italian immigrants had a tremendous amount to do with that, both because of their participation in organized crime and because of their cultural acceptance of alcohol. (To this day, the divide between people who supported temperance and those who got it repealed lives on in who serves grape juice at communion and who serves wine. Even a century of integration later, there’s a marked difference between evangelical Protestants and Catholics in terms of regular alcohol use.)

After all, it’s not like banning alcohol is impossible. Alcohol use is extremely restricted in many countries around the world.
As far as I understand, its 100 qpm per oauth user. Each logged-in user will have 100 qpm, so they can actually query inbox once per minute and still be left with 99 queries for that minute alone. I thought the problem was that, if you exceed this limit even for some users (e.g. particularly active ones) then you are no longer eligible for the free-tier and get kicked out of the club and pay price even for the free tier.
Is there anyone who did playthroughs who doesn't swamp it in extremely-irritating-neckbeard "commentary"?

I didn't make it past 15 seconds of the second video (ie where the game starts, in the OB/GYN room.) I've never heard someone so excruciating.
Yup. That's definitely a huge problem, that's for sure.

I was just comparing as its the relatively "less worse" evil (as lead/heavy metals stay in body forever AFAIK).
I won't go so far as to say that this is Reddit's death-knell since they've been through a lot of controversies before, and I'm sure their business will do just fine in the future, but its clear to me at this point the direction they want to take the site is continually diverging from what I want it to be.

To be honest, I'm a bit thankful that they are finally doing this. Shutting down Apollo is making me realize I'm the frog in boiling water as they try to turn it into TikTok. With this move, they turned up the temperature a bit too fast, and this is my queue to jump out.
Book? I have not referenced a book for work in a decade.
The cold fact is that nobody is good at this. Predicting the future is inherently a fool's game.

VCs mitigate this by dealing in multiple ventures at the same time. Aggregate movements are easier to predict and, as VCs themselves often state, it doesn't matter if 90% of their investments don't pan out, because the 10% that do more than make up for the loss.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I strongly suspect reddit will crack down on adult content as they approach IPO (and is already being pressured to do so)... it's happened time and time again with community platforms and is one of the major dangers of monolithic app stores and investor driven decision-making.
so is blatantly lying about said communication in public when you’re the CEO of a company looking to IPO.

Christian only released the recording to dispute the claim from spez that he threatened Reddit with blackmail (quite a serious claim imo)
> as if children are using the API to find porn

Yes they are.

No, it's not.
Something changes one day, and then your app is broken until you update it, causing you to need to rush to fix it, especially if your app has paying customers. This could be a massive, sudden change of any kind since you are effectively an adversary. Bad.

You are behind a firewall designed to cut out bots, and now need to bypass or handle anti-bot CAPTCHA. Again, bad.

You want to provide push notifications, but that requires background polling on a server. Yep, that's pretty bad, since it multiplies the effort AND erases the "basically just a browser" part in one swoop. Now you need to probably pass user credentials to your backend (bad) and scrape on the server, bypassing Cloudflare/etc in a headless manner (bad.)

Reddit shuts down old.reddit.com and cuts off access to NSFW and "edgy" or perhaps just small subreddits except when logged in on official apps. Now you need to scrape from either official iOS/Android APIs where the keys could go invalid at any time, or the JS desktop site which is all JS and XHRs everywhere. The only way to make your app truly behave like the real thing is to carefully set up an actual browser engine and hide evidence that you're using automation, which is a lot harder than you might imagine. Yep, you guessed it. Very, very bad.

For that last thing, Twitch's "integrity check" mechanism is a great illustration of just how user hostile things will quickly become. Twitch integrity check won't even pass for real browsers half the time. It hates Linux users. This is the future you get.
I wonder why didn't Apollo just have each user register a new OAuth app at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps, the details of which would then be used per-user. It could even be done automatically upon entering one's credentials into the Apollo app. Wouldn't this have solved the problem?
Interesting idea. In a sense this is also kind of "decentralized" in terms of hosting because you are just using the APIs, and the service itself will just be provided via a client managing the credentials. But I don't quite understand how this will be so different from Matrix has been doing. Basically, the application is just a centralized hub with bridge to different communities. Wouldn't this just be a "yet another standard" situation?
it's because the Reddit users that are actually bothered by this are unmonetizable and everyone knows it. nobody is eager to jump into that sink hole and Reddit itself is happy to be free of it.
It's much less of a dick move than publicly defaming a business partner. It's the best way for the defamed to clear the table.
> Wouldn't there be meaning in saying it would take this much energy to push all the matter in the universe to one place?

No. The universe is not an isolated system that we can operate on from the outside. You can't treat it as though it is. So your thought experiments aren't meaningful.

I think it's more that Disney noticed they were losing momentum with Star Wars and decided to delay or cut theatrical projects planned for 2020 - 2024. "Too much too fast" was the line from Bob after Solo was released. "We will take a pause, some time, and reset... there will be a bit of a hiatus." Covid probably had a role too, and the success of the Mandalorian. The Boba Fett film became a streaming series, the Kenobi film became a streaming series.

Official numbers show that only 3% of moderation actions are performed via third-party apps, putting a definite nail in the coffin of that fabricated argument.

It pains me to say this, especially since I saw Star Wars in the theater over 10 times when it first came out, but you have a point.

When I was a kid, I saw Star Wars over 10 times in the theater, and I LOVED it. For the time, it was revolutionary science fiction film. But I remember after the first time I saw it with my dad and I excitedly asked him "what did you think?" He said it was over rated. I remember being crushed by that comment, but now.. I dunno. The plot is pretty weak and predictable.

But I think that's why a lot of fans are so disappointed by the new Disney star wars material. Rogue One seemed like such an elevation of Star Wars - Star Wars for grown ups. And the hope, at least of me, was that Disney+ would run with that. But after Boba Fett, I just walked. It was atrocious.

Exactly. Your experience does not have to be the same as mine, especially with overtly broad statements. It’s no different than someone saying “Don’t visit city $C. It sucks!”. I mean, it’s a _whole_ city, are you sure _all_ of it sucks? Maybe you were unlucky in your experiences and I don’t have to be.

Now, if you tell me “Don’t visit restaurant $R in city $C, I got food poisoning and the service was awful” then I will probably avoid that place.

It should really be “If you go to Oxford for graduate studies, in department $D, under professor $P then you will probably have a bad time for the following reasons…”

That's great news! That means all .NET EXEs and DLLs will be cross-compatible with Ubuntu since 5.0? Mono had been doing substantial efforts since about a decade but was never the popular choice among Linux devs, mostly due to performance and other issues I think. With Microsoft themselves providing support, things must improve.

As for WinForms, there are probably newer alternatives like MAUI coming up since .NET core.
> Destroying the company is not the best idea, but there has to be a line society has to draw and be vigilant about defending it.

Why is it not the best idea? It's a great idea. Fine them more money and let them go bankrupt. Let companies that did not go under for such awful practices pick up the pieces. Why is bankruptcy acceptable for Kmart but not 3M? Be specific, no nonsense about how they are the only company in existence ever capable of creating some mysterious chemical yet also only have a $50B market capitalization (if their chemicals were so rare, impossible to produce, and highly sought after, market cap would be higher).

> The taxpayer CAN NOT be the one to be on the hook for corporate misdeeds time and time again.

I don't understand. You think the taxpayer cannot be on the hook, yet you also think we are obligated to bail out the business by nationalizing it? What do you think nationalizing a business entails? It would literally place the taxpayer on the hook for that business. Nationalizing it would not imply any guarantee the business remains profitable, and future losses would be owned by the public.

I do agree that execs should be punished more severely though. We are absolutely on the same page there. And I don't care if the current execs are not the original execs responsible. As far as I can tell, they've allowed the problem to continue if not get worse.
Do we really want a venture capital backed competitor? It will just end up going the same way.
Good luck understanding things like `if(!!!c) { ... }` or why a line-break after a return statement matters in JavaScript/TypeScipt ;) JS has its own footguns and legacy baggage.
It's been my experience that starting a company is best done when the market looks unfavorable to starting a company. It's counterintuitive, but works for me.

The key question here is: "So what?"

And that is not a snide, snarky question - it is a sincere inquiry. Why is interacting in subreddits with karma gates important to your life?
Most of the porn limits on social media sites today are because of non consensual sharing. Porn sites today primarily have to deal with this, and they’re not doing a very good job of it. Pornhub now requires accounts to verify themselves before posting content. The sites which don’t require that are over run by no consensual images. It’s pretty disgusting. Reddit has been cracking down on it but hasn’t quite gone the whole way to eliminating it yet. Mostly they keep just making it harder for lazy, horny people to post things. Verification is the key to stopping this stuff, but it’s hard to safely verify people, especially with todays AI tools which make it almost impossible to verify without actual personal info.

Also, there's little need for breeders today because the overall percentage of energy we get from nuclear energy is low. In the future, if this expands is when we would need to deploy breeders. The casks that the waste is put in are rated for 100+ years and its trivial to swap containers.

Not only that, but sensibilities change. Even if you are thoroughly polite and respectful by today's yardstick, you have no idea what is going to be taboo in 20, or 40 years. Think back to some of the things you might have posted to ephemeral BBS systems 20 years ago. Things you said that were innocent then, but might get you fired and canceled today. Euphemisms that were acceptable then and terrible now. When comments are stored permanently, all it takes for a future motivated enemy is to trawl through your 20+ year old posts to find something that shows you're a horrible person by tomorrow's different standards.
Hmm I assumed the opposite. The mass exodus of long time users who are pissed about the API changes won't happen until there is a destination that can handle the migration without servers going down. It will be interesting to see what happens.
