So probably not during any current persons lifetime. :/
Do you understand he doesn't work for Reddit?

Do you understand your comments are focused on making judgements about _personalities_, not business decisions? Do you see how they assume others are too?

Since you've indulged, please, allow me:

Your comments are aggro and focused on personalities and people. I don't find them useful or interesting.

Yes, I know my stance on this isn't the common one. I have been taking it for a few days on several forums.

I've obviously seen a bunch of people who were happy to dismiss everything I said. Your replies stand out as the only ones that were wildly off-topic and myopic. You are strangely focused on social dynamics and stack-ranking strangers that will never meet, and assume the strangers are doing the same.
Garden leave and notice periods are, to some degree, a coordination issue. "You have to give us and we have to give you three months notification of termination of employment" works (mostly) fine when everyone does it and they know it's just the way things are. It's harder when you're that problem candidate who can't start for three months when that isn't the norm.
i never use yelp, i can typically tell what a restaraunt is like by the name and pictures on google, and whether they serve craft beer or brand names, i don't look at reviews or how much it costs
Enough users to justify the salary of the teams making it happen.
Indeed, you're right. I thought at its most basic it is just egg whites and oil, but googling that specifically says mustard is part of the recipe.

So it's still a mystery why McDonalds doesn't just call it Mayonnaise when the ingredients are pretty much identical to every other mayonnaise out there, including Hellmann's REAL Mayonnaise.

Maybe it's one of those "It's only X if it comes from the X region" type issues. It just makes it sound suspicious for no discernable reason. Like buying a bottle of "Wet 'water' style beverage."
> we know some Apple users are unable to see past the "you can't be trusted" that Apple keeps violently stabbing in your brain

It's third party devs doing that, not Apple. They've proven themselves unworthy of trust more times than can be counted. Where there is room for abuse, abuse will happen. We might be numb to it, but it happens all the time on desktop operating systems. Examples include Adobe putting files in corners of the system it has no business touching, practically every modern AAA game installing rootkits and scanning our filesystems, and until just a few years ago Dropbox installing a kernel extension on macOS.

The only devs that deserve any trust are FOSS devs but there isn't good FOSS software for every use case.
> But as far as I know, that’s going to be insanely expensive or time consuming if done at a personal level.

rewind.ai is already doing this. Also I think we can personal LoRA(low parameter diff to model) that keeps evolving as we use computer.
> If I have to create a separate account for each server anyway then what's the point of the fediverse?

You don't have to. Only when the servers you want to post to ban the server you registered on.
> Reddit is a cornerstone of the open web.

I don't hate Reddit as much as most, but that's like saying Sbarro is a cornerstone of Open Food. The web would survive if they went away, which I think a lot of moderators have accounted for when they shut down their sub.

My honest-to-goodness advice to Reddit moderators is to back-up the meaningful content of each sub and prepare for the worst. If you want leverage against Reddit, copy down the same content they would otherwise monetize.
>simple static dump is the bare minimum to fulfill the social contract

I don't see how that follows? Would be awesome, but I don't see how posting on a platform creates such an obligation to render such a service (which costs money)
I had a side project I worked on for 6 months several years ago to do something similar albeit slightly less shady. When I was working on it there was a business on their that was using it to do human transcription of retail store receipts. I think it was a marketing company to figure out what customers were purchasing. My plan was to develop a computer vision algorithm that would do 90% of the work and then just farm out the verification step to humans to increase their productivity.

I got as far as downloading the receipts and attempting basic image processing to try and touch up/reformat the receipts. Training a model to extract data would have been a better approach but I didn't have the skillset or inclination to continue.
It is crazy how much stuff Hochul gets away with. And she gets all this credit as a super progressive, pro consumer governor... She is somehow scandal free. Republicans in NY really messed up by nominating a DeSantis style politician in NY. They passed up a massive opportunity for a republican governor since so many dems didn't like Hochul.
Dataclasses wind up cumbersome over time. They're nice when the defaults are what you want. After a handful of default overrides, I'd rather have not used dataclasses.
you can, but it defaults to percentage... and that sets the expectation.
I would frame it as "messaging applications should interoperate".

People understand that a T-Mobile customer can send a text to an AT&T customer. They understand that a Samsung owner can call an iPhone owner.

Why do they accept that a Slack user can't send a message to a Discord user? Why do they accept that Google has made 11+ different messaging applications that aren't compatible with each other? Why do they accept that you can't call a Skype for business customer with Skype?

We've had 30 years of stagnation because messaging applications don't interoperate. That's why the story is always "Hey, remember back when ICQ used to work? You should try Skype, it really works..." Once Skype becomes successful at the two-sided market game the honeymoon is over and the vendor has no incentive to keep it working and they figure you'll keep trying to use it anyway.

If there were competition for both the server and the client there would be continuous pressure to keep the products working, and to improve them. So instead of Facebook Messenger being the same as AOL Instant Messenger except for Facebook, we'd have had 30 years of progress and would have apps that look like something out of The Jetsons.
> It's the kind of behavior that's impossible to prove for anyone outside of Yelp, and they of course claim they don't do it.

Im surprised there hasnt been a class-action defamation suit. That would force discovery at least.

Please, please, please, to anyone in the thread, don't take this as anything other than an anecdote but...

I would go to extreme lengths to keep access to relatively small doses of mushrooms before ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER going back on an SSRI.

I don't really know how to talk about it without sounding like "a hippie" or something, and I keep rewriting this to keep it brief but since starting to experiment with low doses of mushrooms, I've basically eliminated my alcohol and cannabis consumption. I think I'm a pretty "addictive-personality" type person and didn't think I'd ever leave those behind, nor find something else that I genuinely feel is a net benefit for me, and that I don't really feel compelled to "reach for" other than when I specifically want to and have time set aside for.

I've suffered chronic lower back pain for 15 years, and the most dramatic single-point-in-time improvements I've felt have been the day after I've had a "nature day". I don't know if it's a mushroom<->inflammation thing, I don't know if it's some mal-adaptive posture issue that my brain circumvents when on mushrooms, but something is going on.

Also, I'll go ahead and say it, SSRIs didn't sap my sex drive, but made it into a psychologically damaging curse due to physical side effects. Not an issue with mushrooms.
I think OP was using that ironically as an example of how ridiculous the expectations of the free-API folks are.

Visual Studio Code (and ecosystem) isn’t opensource and closed by design not because of copilot. It’s to enable a wider plan involving GitHub codespaces aka Visual Studio Online (do a nslookup of the cname on a codespaces workspace btw) - see https://ghuntley.com/fracture

Indeed a by product of the design ensures that Copilot does not work on oss (vscode mit) which other cloud development vendors which compete that codespaces uses but the problem is much wider.

For example dotnet tooling, pylance, etc. Most of the popular programming languages where microsoft is the primary maintainer of lsp/editor tooling by design is not open.
I just listened to one of the team members next to Macron at a conference in Paris and I sense that French politicians really want to make this work - for protectionist reasons or just to bring back French R&D in the game. With that in mind though it's interesting to see that 40% of it is already owned by foreign capital.

Statistically speaking you are wrong.. can you list five tech products that became big after the PM types you talk about took over the product?
I'd like to see this as a live code-sharing tool. Sometimes when interviewing candidates I'm using codeshare.io, but that doesn't have "live compilation". This would be great for that. I'm missing some features, and they're expected as it's in alpha, but I don't want to keep them from you: 1. vim mode (ace editor could be nice for this?), 2. a way to share with a not logged-in user 3. dark mode 4. maybe I'm missing it, but having a `console.log` not being in the output is unintuitive
I've been reading this on reddit for quite a while, what quarter might "soon" be?
"The American Prospect is devoted to promoting informed discussion on public policy from a progressive perspective.

Here is Robert Reich claiming that corporate profiteering is the "structural driver" of inflation:

"If inflation comes up at the dinner table tonight, don’t forget to draw attention to the deeper structural driver of inflation: the concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to raise prices, even as they rake in record profits."

Regardless of your thoughts on the actual changes made, I think most would agree that Reddit is distinctly in the wrong thanks to the bald-faced lies that the CEO has tried to use to pin the blame for his decisions on innocent parties. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36245435

Really? The average discussion on Reddit/StackOverflow/etc is full of wrong answers and it is hit or miss if the "accepted" answer is correct, never mind any of the other ones. These sites are a great model for convincing bullshit but if you wanted something worth training an A.I. you'd need to filter out 90% of the content.
Suppose you're reddit. You're now required to profit. Money now ain't free. What do you do?

I am not a lawyer but it strikes me that such a threat (of action which the employer is not legally entitled to take) would probably violate a law or two. This wouldn't help the employee unless they went to court or the NLRB with it, but if some employee eventually did the court/NLRB may require things from the employer to prevent such incidents in the future.
Well, since the puppy is kidnapped so young, it never remembers its actual parent.

If you were to kidnap a human infant, and raise it as your own, the relationship would be exactly this kind of "symbiotic".

The federal reserve divorced the dollar from the gold standard in the 1970s.

It can issue as many dollars as it wants at will. There is nothing to stop it except the destruction of the global economy if it becomes too reckless. See Zimbabwe Hyperinflation to see what happens when the central bank becomes unhinged. My friend still has a 100 trillion dollar note on his fridge from that period.
That's my point though: how often do people do that check? I don't think I personally ever have. Maybe I'm just weird though? I tend to not just go with a single user/comment/thread, but rather try to find multiple different answers and gestalt from there, so individual trustworthiness is less important.
But the turtlenecks lent such an air of authority and deep experience.
Also, the revenue was there for some nice side income (~40k/mo), but not enough to support a company around it. I could have probably used services from an AI/ML startup doing this but it would have eaten into the margins.
Then your standard is too low.

And I mean that objectively. That standard would not allow an uninteresting number.

Twitter was profitable, super profitable, in 2018 and 2019. It lost lots of money in 2020 cause pandemic and lots of hiring, would have been profitable in 2021 if not for lawsuit. It would have been profitable in 2022 if not for purchase.

I think a more reasonable argument could be “If a site provides an API for fetching user-generated content, it should be free”. (But just as a moral argument, not something to be enforced with regulations.) The issue is that if they provide a paid API for users’ content, they acknowledge the value in the content provided by their users (whom they already have to thank for all their ad revenue), so it seems unjust for them to suddenly start selling that content, especially without sharing the API revenue with the content creators or something.

I've heard the same stories from several local restaurants. With one added detail, which was consistent between the 3 restaurants: The sales pitch was always $300/mo. to ensure they have only high ratings. When they don't pay the fee, the negative reviews start showing up, and the positive reviews start disappearing.

It's such a consistent story it beggars belief that there's nothing there.
bingo - but I hope I am wrong.
I'm sure a lot of the Reddit users wouldn't mind
College instead of high school is a nice alternative in some states.

There are some magnet schools for highly gifted or aptitudinally talented students, including an online one: https://www.davidsongifted.org/the-davidson-academy/

But yeah, the situation for regularly gifted students is often as you say. And any school program that truly held them to higher standards would also end up penalizing them with lower grades that would make them look non-competitive to highly selective universities.

Not a lawyer, but I really think that depends on how you communicate the license.

If the website, GitHub page, and documentation say: Released under the Apache 2.0 license, with no mentions of addendums, I think you would have a strong case.

I suggest changing the name, to avoid any confusion, do not consider it to be legal advice.

I am surprised a yelp/google alternative has not been created with a feature to establish provenance of a review. Perhaps something like a receipt which contains a unique link and that person can provide a review through the link.

The review will be posted as "verified transaction" on the site and overall score of the restaurant is determined from there. "Anonymous" reviews can still be posted but won't be factored into the overall score and will be deprioritized by the system/algorithm.

Of course this does not necessarily stop businesses from pumping out fake transaction tickets and offering users to write fake reviews. But at least a paper trail would be established; and if a historically 1-2 star business with verified transactions and 1-2 reviews per day suddenly sees a spike to 4-5 stars with 10+ reviews per day over the same period. Then it can be flagged as suspicious and team can review the paper trail.
FWIW, to add to the joy, non-competes have been officially banned in Ontario since Oct 25, 2021 (but rejected by the courts for a long time before that. I suspect they're not enforceable in other provinces; but officially not allowed in Ontario.)

So that means for all employees in the greater Toronto area. (And Toronto is 4th biggest city in North America just after Chicago).
Wow, isn't this extortion. If this allegation were true, someone in Yelp should go to jail.
I have a theory that governments and corporations across the world are pushing hard for free APIs. If they cost anything, even very little, then it makes astroturfing too expensive.
Parallelism is a physical thing, concurrency is a logical thing.

Fundamentally the difficulty is all about synchronization. People can try to split hairs and say there are two terms for two different things but ultimately it doesn't matter because the underlying problem is the same.

The real answer to these kinds of problems is that there is no ONE effective solution, and to really tackle you must combine various strategies. Self control is definitely useful but if you depend on it solely you will eventually fail.
The legal contract states that Reddit can do what it wants with the data, yes, but there is no consideration for production. That is where the social contract takes over.

The social contract states (allegedly, at least; we shall see) that producers agree to produce content in perpetuity so long as Reddit plays nice with the data. With that contract broken, production may cease.
Did you see all those "where can I buy this flavor of snack in $location", or some weird anecdote involving a flavor of chips or similar. Tons of astroturfing on reddit.

Different teams have different abilities. You can't really make general rules around any of this. Should you use spanner as a default selection for your company's database needs? Maybe.
Concurrenceny deals with what can be parallel, because they don't share data dependencies. For example, a map() function is trivially a statement of concurrency: each item needs to have a function applied to it, and assuming pure functions, that can all be done concurrently.

Parallel computing cares about what should be parallel, i.e., actually implementing parallelism. For most programmers, this job can (and probably should) be left to the scheduler, whose job is to translate concurrency into reasonably sane parallelism.

The scheduler comes with overhead, though, that can be avoided with hand-spun parallelism. I like to think about it like manual memory management: for most programs and programmers, using a garbage collector that a memory management expert wrote is easier/better than manually allocating and freeing memory, but there are performance gains to be had if you don't.
Co-founder here. Thanks for asking this - we get this question a lot and have tried our best to address it in the FAQ section of our pricing page (https://porter.run/pricing). Infrastructure provisioned by Porter is constantly managed by Porter so that the end user does not have to worry about the details of maintaining a Kubernetes cluster. In this regard, our pricing structure is identical to traditional platform as a services like Heroku, Render, Fly.io, or Vercel, where the respective PaaS provider is effectively charging a margin on top of their own cloud resources on AWS/GCP. This form of leasing out the PaaS provider's AWS/GCP infrastructure to end users also often results in rapidly increasing costs especially as you start hitting scale on hosted platforms like Heroku.

The value you get from Porter is the same as these platforms: with the clusters plugged into our internal system, our team monitors your infrastructure and owns its reliability so the end user can just focus on the application. Other platforms that also run in the customer's own cloud, such as Red Hat OpenShift, has similar resource based pricing models.

On this note, we offer an option to bring your own Kubernetes cluster and connect Porter to it. In this case, the end user manages their own infrastructure and Porter purely acts as a UI on top of your own Kubernetes cluster. Accordingly, for this use case, pricing is based on the number of user seats instead of resource usage. Many of our customers who use Porter in this capacity often have their own DevOps teams that manage the infrastructure and use Porter purely as a means to simplify deployment for their developers.

It's also worth mentioning that Porter is not meant for small workloads or hobbyists. If your spend on Heroku is less than $300, we actually do not recommend using Porter and have advised many users who were interested in Porter to use platforms like Render and Fly.io. Porter is designed for companies - mostly startups - who actually need to scale their applications and have sufficient budget for their cloud infrastructure.
