It could even be that lots of queries to generate pages just fetch private posts and comments. The assumption was that users will not be subscribed to lots of subreddits that they have access to so skipping these posts is typically negligible and not worth using a more complex query for. If the fraction of skipped items becomes significant these queries will be doing lots more work. Its pretty believable that some very common query getting 25-50% more expensive will be more server capacity then Reddit has available.

Another possible explanation is that operations on private subreddits are not as optimized as it is expected that they have a small number of subscribers and take up a small amount of total resources. These assumptions would be flipped.

To be fair, you can comment on a Twitter video from Twitter :-)
Yeah, VCs don't, that is obvious. But why are founders so willing to give up control for a small chance on a payout ... that's where I want to tackle that.

But I guess it's the same reason people participate in a lottery - the small chance of winning big is a bigger thrill than a boring investment.
I was thinking this too. I'd be even less inclined to upvote low-effort posts, knowing that I'd also be paying them for that low effort. And more inclined to upvote high effort, less visible posts - both because I think they deserve my money more, and because being more upvoted = being more seen = getting paid more by others as well.

I'd also give out upvotes more sparingly overall, since upvoting a post reduces the amount my previously upvoted posts will get paid.
Do you plan to add downvotes?
Yeah this is what I was referring to, thanks.
> Furthermore, it isn't hate of "others" so much as it's a hate of all.

I don't understand what you mean, unless you mean posters on 4chan hate themselves. Anyone who isn't you is an other, after all.
They don't have to be good mods. There's precedent for a handful of mods to moderate a huge swath of subreddits.
When you say "not hard to get an invite" what do you mean?
Conte was cheating on his public CV, claiming to had spent time as professor in several US universities, but there was no any evidences of that. He was a lawyer close to the NoVax environment (Stamina case) and a very mediocre university professor (I am from Florence and several of my friends can confirm this detail)

You cannot not even compare him with someone that was president of BCE and with academic PhD at MIT like Mario Draghi or with someone that was Rector of Bocconi (probably the best university in Europe for economic studies) and European Commissioner.

Almost nobody knows him before being a puppet in the agreement between M5S and Lega.
And his experience as PM was worst than terrible: the yellow-green government was the worst government in the history of Italy and with him as PM we had the higher number of deaths for COVID in Europe, the harder lockdown and the biggest impact in the econony.
I like this. A nice QoL improvement would probably be to add an alternate card view where images/videos are expanded by default; that's usually how I browse Reddit.

I'd be curious to see if the "no pornography" rule hinders growth at all. While I don't have actual numbers, I know from personal and second-hand experience that quite a lot of Reddit's (or the internet's in general) traffic is porn-related.

In any case, I hope this platform takes off and succeeds. I think a non-profit alternative to Reddit would be awesome.

The quoted excerpt is somewhat uncanny: prompt engineering in 1964!

Also PKD's Ubik (1969) came pretty close to anticipating the newsfeed with his "homeostatic newspaper" or homeopape idea ("homeostatic" stood for "self-maintaining", I think.)

> In a corner of the large room a chime sounded and a tinkling mechanical voice called, "I'm your free homeopape machine, a service supplied exclusively by all the fine Rootes hotels throughout Earth and the colonies. Simply dial the classification of news that you wish, and in a matter of seconds I'll speedily provide you with a fresh, up-to-the-minute homeopape tailored to your individual requirements; and, let me repeat, at no cost to you!"

>but if you take $24 from me for a year and then offer me $0.0193 for my efforts based on upvotes I might feel a bit cheesed off about it.

is that how it works? I thought it was offering payments based on who creates posts or other community tools, not based on participation.

you are correct that 2 cents would be a pittance to me who doesn't even want to be paid to browse content. But if I and 1000 others gave that 2 cents to what we thought was quality content, that could make someone's day (not career per se. But $20 from random strangers feels good). At scale that's basically how YT/Twitch work, except they don't take money directly from us so much as time (for ads).
Not sure if the designers are here, but that is an excellent UI.

Ya'll should use some of those techniques to promote this on Twitter... What MSM and the Megacorps don’t want you to know.
I'd like to see vector-driven challenges to web standards. For one, we could bring back WYSIWYG under vectors by having grids with "stretch zones" that allow for larger devices. Constraint and flow-based layouts often grow highly convoluted for those of us who need to be generalists (full stack devs). Not every project should have to hire a CSS Sheldon Cooper to get Hello World in the right spot. (SVG and Canvas lack most the Input elements.)
Not quite true, many popular services do have it. Especially the big ones.

The thing is, I was mentioning DNSSEC as a "full disclosure". Any attack enabled by non-validated DNSSEC on passkey applies to any other form of verification too. I just wanted to make sure I'm not overselling the technology, it's not a silver bullet, but it's orders of magnitude better than anything else.

That’s why you want escalation in carbon taxation. The ideal situation is nobody is paying the tax because they have swapped to something else.

The point is to convince people building infrastructure to build something else because their giant fossil fuel investments wouldn’t be economically viable where green solutions would be.
> What does that really accomplish?

To borrow from another comment buried below: I think the company cares more about the appearance of "business as usual" in the face of an IPO than the opinions of the users.

In their eyes, this is all nothing more than a tempest in a teapot; a small pothole on the road to public investor dollars.
I've been a small time investor for decades and would usually be the one to handle hard tech issues at the start-ups I invested in if they ran into some kind of wall (scaling, hard to find bugs). Someone (another investor) noticed that and tipped off a friend who worked for a really large fund, they hired me to do a DD job on a company in Germany and that got me my launching customer. Syndicated deals grow the network and bit by bit it became a pretty serious player. Now doing anywhere from 20 to 45 jobs per year depending on the economy.
Unfortunately, I've been hearing this for like a decade and it doesn't seem to ever happen.
The death of tumblr made other communities worse.

Even if Reddit dies, its users won't. This is a cancer that won't stop spreading.
IANAL but it seems like this potentially exposes MS to enormous liability. For example, doctors routinely use web based tools. When they look at images related to a patient's care and MS uploads them to the mothership, has MS violated HIPAA? What about someone browsing images of child sexual abuse? Is MS liable for storing that illegal content on their servers? When a user uploads illegal content to OneDrive it's easy to blame the user, but when MS is harvesting all the content the user views, I'm not sure they get off so easy.
the API thing was that, it is moved beyond that now, and admin action on that level will make the API issue an after thought...

If they do that, forget IPO, there will be no more reddit at all.

right now they already missed the IPO point years ago, today for a company to have a successful IPO they need more than good MAU numbers, and this API change was never going to get to the profitability numbers they need for a good IPO

Their IPO dreams were fucked long before today
Well that is how wallstreetbets freezes the subreddit to log all of the potentially actionable comments.
I know code supposedly needs to be maintained... but I have so many FOSS devices around my house that I havent touched in years. (admittedly I do hobbyist embedded, so its not like you can get much of this stuff off the shelf)

Efficient Parallel Functional Programming with Effects
Someone said interestingly that with Vision Pro, Apple is giving solution to problem which does not exist.
I've been creating software developer docs for decades. Most contain the following content:

About X
Installing and configuring X
Using X
X Reference

Typically developer docs are created from the bottom up.
The devs create the preliminary reference docs using special comments in their code.

Once they are through, I go through their comments and wordsmith them.

After the reference topics are written, I start adding a "guide" section.
I like to call this the "How-to" section, which answers questions like:
* How do I create Y
* How can I ...
and so on.

I try to answer two classes of questions:
* Tasks that everyone does (create a client, ...)
* Tasks that flummox a lot of people (talk to the folks manning the help desk)

Once I'm happy with these task-based topics, I'll create a simple "Hello world" tutorial. This topic helps the user know that they've successfully installed and configured the software.

Finally I'll write the installation and configuration section.

It's possible to work on more than one section at a time. In fact, I typically write a bunch of sample code to try out ideas before I create the guide and tutorial. If possible, I'll tidy up these code snippets and add them to the docs. Developers always ask for more code examples.

And speaking of which, if you do create a code example, please create an accompanying unit test. Don't make your users find out that version 1.1 broke your code example. That's your job.

The most important lesson when giving kids fiction books is to teach them that these are fiction and not a historically accurate anything. That they can not take historical lessons from fictional words and assume real world worked the same way as the depicted in kids books. It is literally wrong to teach kids anything else.

It is absolutely fine to tell the kids truth about history, including the fact that these or that popular people were widely cruel, racist or sexist or defrauded or whatever. But that is something completely different then giving the kid fictional story with schematic characters and claim that kid should learn facts about historical society from it.

> It's astonishing to read uncensored fairy tales from a few hundred years ago and realize how sanitized modern children's literature is. Kids need to deal with bullying, pain, prejudice, fear, failure and death, too, just like adults do. Dealing with them helps them be better equipped to understand the world. And I think that's doing them a solid.

Fun fact: censorship in the past was actually the thing. For example, German censorship during WWI made it unprintable to reference death in kids literature.

Second, quite a lot of what was collected as fairly tales was not intended for toddlers and little four years old children the way we use them. Not just because of violence, they are just not structured for small kids, they are overly long and boring to them. They were for older children, stories then older people/youth told each other for fun. And in the past, what kids were actually pushed into were fairly often educational texts with clear moral learnings.

They did not had movies in the past. There was no Marvel, no Game of Thrones. And quite a lot of these stories are contemporary equivalent of Game of Thrones - except shorter.

There is a whole market for these kind of things, and Nissan Japan has been well aware of this. Check out the aftermarkets try at this anime sounding DASAI unit in an S15 [1].

Nissan JP took it even further when it announced its e-Power system and marketed a sort of anime waifu option as a co-pilot. I can't remember which it was, but it was really strange to see what was once a niche thing only geeks did in order to out-JDM/USDM each other on the internet or car meets to that.

I haven't used Elixir for scripting yet, but I really like the idea of including deps at the top of the file. It's always been a pain to manage this in other scripting environments. I did scripts with Ruby in past and it didn't end up being easy to use because of external deps.
> I remember reading newspapers and magazines and watching TV in the 80's and 90's and for the most part, they all seemed to have a unified (left-leaning) perspective on everything.

This was the era of satantic panic[1], D&D being controversial due to devil worship, and when democrats and republicans joined hand in hand to try and outlaw vulgarity.

The 80s was absurdly conservative.

A regular talking point on 90s TV newscasts was about if it is ok for a man to kill another man who (romantically) hits on him. That was an actual topic the country was divided over.

1990s America, also not a bastion of radial left thinking.

Add some winds, takeoffs/landings in the “wrong direction”, weather diversions and it probably needs a tech stop in at least one direction to do that routing. Maybe both.

The strongest theory I've seen for this killing reddit is that moderation quality goes down enough that being on the site is no longer fun. Even if Reddit replaces all the moderators who quit (which, yes, won't be hard), Reddit itself doesn't provide tools with the same power as what mods were using, to say nothing of the new mods' lack of experience and questionable motives and judgment (if you're smart and have good motives, you at least think really hard before going into a position left empty by mass resignation).

But yes, long term it's on We The People to fund our own communities.
This is what B Corporations are for I guess, they're relatively new. As in within the past decade. The legal framework is in place though.
If you're open for alternatives, framing it in in a way like "I know you're trying to accomplish X, but due to Y, I think the outcome is more along Z". So something like "I know you're going for a soft launch, but without providing a more concrete and demonstrative user experience, the current status of the project is more of a tech demo".

This approach acknowledges what the person is trying to accomplish, and lays out the obstacles before arriving at the conclusion, which then feels more natural. The recipient is able to follow your thinking and hopefully "arrive" at the conclusion along with you. When you start with the conclusion, you risk having a jarring moment where you start with something unexpected, and that can generate friction.
I took a stab at this a long time ago and I came up with two solutions,

The first is an account setting for the user that allows them to hide all comments from people that arent part of any community that the post shows up in:
https://github.com/kraftman/TenTags.io/blob/bc6f3046dda4815b...

The second is to allow filtering all of the comments by the communities the comments came from:

Even innocent trials and brainstorming can get you in to hot water. Some P.E.s in the Electrical Engineering field at my old company were known for keeping a good set of wikis, journal, and email lists. They had an internal sort of peer review system between our plants.

An unrelated lawsuit was filed against the company by the state. A set of speculative statements in an email chain made by one EE about hypothetical measurement issues was taken as proof of company "knowledge" about inaccurate reporting.
My impression of 2ch and 4chan is that the anonymous-by-default nature means we bring less of our own personalities to those boards, and the lack of individuality made them village-like.

The fact there isn't any kind of karma system might also have something to do with it.

>Even if a work of art features offensive language or ideas, the art should still exist in its original form like the creators intended.

Often these edits are about preserving the creator's intent. If an author used a word that was inoffensive a hundred years ago and is now offensive, it is more in line with the author's intent to change the word to the modern inoffensive equivalent than to preserve the offensive one that now conveys something different from what it meant to the author.

And if they knew and kept him, well, is remembering his legacy a bad thing?

Plus I'm pretty sure we are all pleb to this kind of families, so I wouldn't expect anything from them once I'm dead.
