It continues to amaze me the pace at which kddnewton and co. are able to work. His tweet[1] from a few months ago is really relevant here. Being full-time employees and not just open-source volunteers makes a huge difference!

I don’t understand what the US gains by pushing this theory. It’s implausible (or maybe straight up impossible?) that a tiny sailing yacht could hold enough explosives for scuba divers to individually plant on the pipeline near Bornholm.

Why are US Intelligence services promoting this theory? It would mean they’ve been backing a country that violated the NATO joint aggression treaty.
There were limits, they were just reasonable and based per-user-per-app. One of the changes was drastically lowering them on the free tier and making it per-app only.

Haha! It’s relieving to finally see the optimistic technologists of HN finally getting a taste of their own medicine. This is what your much-praised technology did to the world, folks, and no, this was inevitable due to the very nature of it. If you fear what lies ahead, know that it’s not a fear in vain! Collapse is finally getting mainstream.
You're comparing video streaming services (one of them a live streaming service) that have far more cost per user, to something that has far more minimal costs. You're also comparing individual account cost per user that includes much more than just API access.

Where is your evidence or even subjective knowledge about Reddit being the company that's trying the hardest to make this work?

Also, to answer your initial question, regardless of anything else in your comment, the rate is absurd because it clearly falls under bait and switch. Build up your userbase, including offering your content from an API until you're basically the monopoly in your market and then start charging per month, per user, for API access. It's not like individual users are paying for their API access and feeding that API key to other apps to use. It's clearly meant to crush 3rd party apps, not facilitate Reddit making money through 3rd party apps. They can make far more money through their own massively ad infested app without providing any of the features that make other apps attractive, if they just crush 3rd party apps. In which case, why both charging for the API. As others have suggested, why not just shut it down or limit it? Simply because they want to appear as if they're not shutting out the world, while still doing exactly that.
I think that’s most subs. This is why I’m actually torn between which group I dislike the most.

On the one hand, the admins are being absolute children to the mods. But that said: most (all?) if the Reddit mods I have interacted with are also overgrown children.

The “mods vs admins” thing seems like two toddlers screaming at each other. It’s at a point where I kind of want both sides to lose.

Something in the culture changed 4-5 years ago where being a mod went from a job where you remove spam posts, to a role where you decide what is allowed for discussion.

On my city subreddit, for instance, they’ve gotten it to the point where practically anything which isn’t a photo of a sunset is seen as off topic and removed.

And then there’s stuff like: mods will decide to “lock” threads they don’t like. There was a discussion on /r/Catholicism talking about an anti-Catholic group being invited, then uninvited, then reinvited to perform at a baseball game. After a few hours of discussion the mods “locked” this, meaning you couldn’t participate in it anymore.

It’s extremely annoying.
Every problem that denormalization purports to solve has had a (better) solution for decades now. If the data isn't loading fast enough, it can be cached (either in an edge cache or a materialized view). Those solutions have costs - but so does denormalization!

No its quite serious. China covered up the existence of susceptible animals at the market. If you want to take the actions of a cover up as being proof, then you have to look at that cover up as well. What people do instead, though, is pick and choose -- the actions surrounding the lab are evidence China is hiding a lab leak, while the actions surrounding the market are not evidence China is trying to hide a zoonotic spillover. There's nothing "bad faith" about that at all, unless you're so bought into the lab leak theory that any question of it is bad faith.

I'm not going to necessarily disagree with you. Perl was my professional go-to language for about 20 years, and I moved on to Python for the past eight or so.

Back 15+ years ago, you'd see perhaps 2-3x more updates on CPAN recents per day than what's there today.

I'll always love Perl, but it's definitely on a long slow popular decline.

Not all configure scripts are created equal: a lot of them only tell you about missing dependencies one at a time.

Many people view abuse by their own government to be unimaginable. So when you tell them you're scared of being abused by the US government, it doesn't make sense to them. This is the basis for the "nothing to hide" argument, which breaks down even under the mildest scrutiny.
I do wonder how much hate speech, especially in the early 4chan years, was a deliberate shield against those _not_ targeted by such speech but still cannot ignore it. Think of white people who would post a "how dare you" rant when they see the n-word or male feminists. It's a way to keep out the moral guardians and cut down on behavior I like to call "dogshitting." Unlike sea-lioning and its "per our previous conversation…" off-topic nature, dogshitters nominally address the parent post… with nitpicks irrelevant to the thread's larger topic.
Revenue is generated by ads. The power users are also the savvy users with ad block. Their value added is making the content for average users to engage and consume. Those are the users that will make up the base of the as revenue.

The proof will be in the pudding. Reddit will survive but unless they back down, alot of people will leave permanently. What surprises me is how lackadaisical the board appears to be - so much money is being left on the table. I would be livid if I was an investor.

Examples or I don't believe that happens, maybe very rarely.
The comment I replied to listed /etc so I gave an easy example. For placeiq google/etc is not the provider of the data but the platform where an advertiser would use the data.

I agree - faang/etc do not need to sell the data outside their walled garden but there are tons of vendors with sdks in millions of apps and pixels on millions of websites that have considerable location/user data. It’s easy to find how to buy + activate that data which is the point I wanted to make.

I also quite like Fantasque Sans Mono. Few years ago they even added programming ligatures support. Some like them but I don't, so I keep using the previous 1.7.2 version of the font that does not contain ligatures (not all programs allow disabling ligatures).
The value of reddit is not in the backend.
Journalism was supposed to be objective, gonzo journalism is inherently not. Making the author a character in the story is the opposite of what a good journalist is to do…

Kids taking journalism classes might get to hear about Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72 (through The Boys on the Bus) and I think there’s a little bit more to that than just writing for young people and doing drugs.
It is also important to note that GPT is _not_ useless as a search engine.
> Of course, if someone puts up the money and eats the loss you get cheap electricity.

The power companies paid for the nukes and the French paid for botching the job.

> The problem is, someone has to eat the loss. People proposing nuclear power generally have no answer regarding who this "someone" is rather than generic handwaving about "the grid!"

The end user always pays in the end.

Around here people will rather pay for working power rather than freeze to death.

> For the Nordics this is already solved with the existing hydropower.

Um, no. Even if you aren’t from around here these things are easily looked up on Wikipedia.

Norway is the only Nordic country with enough hydro, but even they, like Sweden, are lacking in north-south transmission capacity.

Iceland is too far away.

Denmark has no hydro.

Sweden only has enough for 50%.

Finland only has about 20%.

To further point out the obvious, Finland has to import more than a gigawatt during peak power usage, even when using all generation capacity in the country!

> Sweden as of this week stores 19 TWh in their reservoirs. This is the reason no storage gets built in the Nordics

Um, no. Again.

The reason more hydro isn’t being built is because there is nowhere left to put more off it!

Plus, in Sweden’s case, lack of north-south transmission capacity. Which nobody is building.

So, tell me again, why isn’t more grid storage being built out in the Nordics?
I don't know about you, but it certainly seems to be true for many.

IMO any counterexample that's based on monetary expenditure is doomed to failure because it adopts OP's framing. Whoever can decide the rules can decide the outcome, and all that. Perhaps focusing on time is better. There's little money involved when I cook food for my family, or clean up after, but there is time. I spend that time because I think it matters - not only that the thing gets done, but that I personally should do it as a contribution and example in a social situation. I certainly could pay someone else to do those things. The fact that I don't, or that others do, has absolutely nothing to do with my motivations or how much I care. We all spend time on the things we care about. Money only becomes important when it's exchanged for time.

Perhaps another way to look at it is: how do people with "more than enough" money show that they care about something? How do people with no money do so? For many, money has been taken out of the equation but time is still relevant.

The power users (content posters) and moderators use 3rd party tools and apps extensively.
That's a valid point, but on the flip side, Reddit's content is user driven, and 99% of users never post or contribute anything, they're just on the site to consume content posted by that 1% of power users. Those power users are really the "extremely online" people who are angry about this. If you don't have moderators running subreddits and power users posting quality content, reddit doesn't have a product.
Which is the real reason that reddit is killing both the third party apps and the mobile site. Same reason that Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok make the mobile site as painful as possible. If you're using a website in a browser, the user has control. If you're using their app, the company has control.
As I understand it, serious smart cards have been explicitly designed and audited to resist power monitoring attacks. There are fancy consultants who specialize in this sort of thing, and I think the major players use their services.
I think your conclusion is countered by something else you wrote:

> As long as you have a database in the cloud with a non-trivial amount of user data, you don’t really have control over what becomes of it.

Who I work for and what I do is the agency. If I want to better influence what happens to my work, I can make sure my work doesn't have this abuse incentive.
It looks cool, but one problem at least on my laptop screen when looking at the small rendering, is that the l and i in the word multi look too similar. I have to lean in to differentiate them. It looks like multl to me.

For the word split, it is easier to tell since they are side-b by-each, but still weird to look at without zooming in.

It's easy enough when either rendered as a larger font size, or if you lean in. But when small, those two letters are difficult.
Kirkland Brand isn't Ghost Kitchens, it's usually reputable brands who slap a label on their product to build additional sales channels.

The most common example is that Kirkland Vodka is widely reported to be Grey Goose, and it's speculated that Kirkland Mac & Cheese is just repackaged Kraft.

No Brand or Quality Control needed; mostly contract and supply chain control since you're dealing with brands that already do good QC.
> to mimic the way a child would write

No, it was intended to mimic the style of comic book lettering, hence the name.

Part of the reason Comic Sans is reviled is because not only is it a terrible font, but it is also a far cry from actual comic book lettering.
If you look at the population density per neighborhood[1], that area is not any denser than other parts of the city, including the very residential Richmond and Sunset districts, but the number of shops is much higher. That means that all things being equal, shops throughout the city are more spread out and have less competition, allowing them to have an easier time being profitable. To me that tells me that downtown is entirely reliant on people going there from other parts of the city, while the other neighborhoods service their local communities. Furthermore, urban malls rely on foot traffic: malls are either a destination (you go there because you need multiple things so you save multiple trips around town) or they are a place of convenience (they are next to transportation hubs or landmarks with lots of foot traffic). Westfield SF was rarely the first, and lost the later for years due to the pandemic.

During recent protests in California, a white couple waved guns at the protestors. It was clearly, they had higher status, rich, white, and thus got a slap on the wrist. Black man on subway, yells, and dies. Very different outcomes.
White, can wave guns around and make threats, its ok.
Black, can raise voice, get killed, the killing is viewed as ok.
I don't think this is inconsistent at all. Bots don't look at or click on ads. Bots don't engage or create community. Bots don't buy awards. Bot querying is a drop in the ocean compared to real people.
Nope, Reddit currently has a bunch of their subreddits private. And if the Apollo dev gets paid, then he can come up with something to make the blackout go away. That's the leverage he has to ask for money. It's what he implied in the call he had recorded, and he keeps indicating he's open to an offer. If reddit goes back to normal before he has an offer then that's when he has no leverage anymore.
No, no, he has a point.
graphic designers sometimes ship their draft deliverables with 1 or 2 obvious bugs, and allow the customer to recommend these 'changes' on their own for final delivery. and if they don't, they're just fixed for final delivery anyway.

i read about it before i had this done to me for the first time, and i played along with it. it's a neat trick because it's plausibly deniable for everyone involved and the outcome is good while minimizing the bullshit work in favor of a sacrificial final word.
The LaTeX system makes sense under the assumption that you want to produce typeset documents, as gradually it is apparent that you don't, in fact, produce typeset documents, the extra bother seems dubious.

Knuth writes books. That's what TeX is for. If you write journal papers, eh, TeX is more likely to ensure you see in print what you intended, but increasingly Maths is done online in forums, nobody wants to wait six months to read a camera ready spell checked document - and meanwhile Unicode means squiggles are easier to write on a computer correctly, and programming means you can express what you meant in (terrible) Python instead of squiggles.

The Math professors at the University I work for do still write a lot of LaTeX (whereas in CS it's not so common as it was) but I wouldn't be surprised if an ordinary Maths undergrad can't write decent LaTeX today, so that's a smaller and ageing constituency.

It's so weird that this revenue generating app is the poster child for Reddit admins abusing third parties or whatever. They literally made money for years, almost completely unbothered by Reddit inc, with their own ads and subscription model. I just don't get it, this is not some open source app getting mauled by a corporate behemoth. Apollo probably made more profit from Reddit than Reddit itself.

And yes I know, Reddit could have rolled their own ads in the API but... Literally no one does that. Reddit ads are already extremely cheap (read, worthless to advertisers) as it is. No one would trust an ad network that has no control over how it displays and tracks said apps. I run Adblock everywhere so I'm not particularly sad about ads being worthless, but it still matters for Reddit inc.

Now obviously apollo was well within its rights to profit from their app but you can't have your cake and eat it too: you can't expect to generate profit from another business unilaterally forever and be shocked that they won't allow it.

Now before someone calls me a shill, I will literally never use Reddit after the API change since for me Reddit is just Reddit Is Fun. Without it, the whole website is unusable. And I'm extremely critical of Reddit in general. But this is just weird, this is a business deal that has turned into some sort of martyrdom. As people have said countless times in other situations where people had issues with reddit; just use another platform.

(Or at least advocate for open source apps API access. For me the ideal solution would be apps with a bring your own API key model. And I really think there are two discussions that have been getting mixed up: commercial use for the API like Apollo's and general access for third parties. One I don't care about, the other is crucial to me using Reddit.)

Your interpretation sounds reasonable until you consider the fact that Reddit led with the “shakedown” (to use your word). Here’s a shortened version of the exchange:

Reddit: You will now pay us $20 million per year or we’re shutting you down. You have 30 days notice.
Apollo: If Apollo is really costing you $20 million per year, you could pay us $10 million to stop, and you’d come out way ahead! I’m half joking.

Reddit: Are you threatening us?!

Apollo: No, I was just jokingly making a point.

Reddit: “Oh, I misunderstood. I immediately apologize.”

Reddit (to mods publicly): This guy is threatening us!
