I apologize, I should have been clearer.

I don't mean Kanye's public antics and statements. I meant his questionable design/musical/performance choices.

Mark has lost over $30B on Metaverse supported by a stagnating ad business. Apple just launched an AR product that seems quite a bit better than the Meta options. John Carmack publicly complained about the reasons he left work at Meta which demonstrate a lack of vision at the leadership levels. It's unclear how the Metaverse will play out at this point but it feels like a solution looking from a problem rather than something people really want.
if the mechanism is true, could this information be used by humans to control earthquakes? There have always been a lot of theories around projects like HAARP that have the capability to send a lot of energy deep into the earth.
You've just gotten used to it.

If you've felt the greatness of third party apps, then there's no going back.
I'm glad you agree. I don't really mind if you think I'm unhinged. I don't mind the downvotes either. The exact same moral issue of consent applies. As a human being, I deserve to be able to consent. It's part of what it means to have dignity. I don't consent to my mind being violated, it's that simple. If that makes me unhinged, so be it.

If you want to discuss the matter further and hopefully understand why I said what I said, I'm happy to do it. Provided you approach the matter seriously without name calling.
You're talking about different things.

You are talking about the restrictive, punitive world of academia where you constantly have to please the powers that be in order to step up. OP was talking about their own feelings about their own abilities in their job.

The parallel to software engineering feels correct to me, particularly if we're talking about working at a giant company like Google. No matter how good of a developer you are you still need to battle yearly reviews, stack ranking, peer review etc. etc in order to advance. But you can strip all that away and still recognize that after two years in the industry you're not that advanced as a developer.

The crucial difference is that in the software engineering world you can take your misplaced confidence, strike out and try something. Worst case it'll fail and you move on. As a teacher with misplaced confidence you can strike our, try something and mess up the educations of children and parents who put their trust in you.
If that's the case, they've overshot the mark. Sometimes it's better to lose money on a failed product to reassure potential customers that you can be relied on as a long term business partner.
Anything stopping you from editing them again?
A vulnerable system that can't be patched shouldn't be in a position where that vulnerability can be exploited, if it's mission-critical. If it's mission-critical, it's vulnerable and can't be patched, and has to be exposed, then it's not fit for purpose and has to be replaced, or have a replacement (i.e. a backup) on stand-by.

Yes, restoring a backup requires effort. But surely less effort than losing the data altogether.
I don't think we are expecting the CS 101 class in High School to start with inductive proofs. His problem is mostly getting the kids engaged at all.

> Even if you knew the position, type, and velocity of every molecule of the atmosphere at a given moment you would still need a model that explains how they interact over time in order to predict the future. So, I'm not sure that actually is a knowable unknown because that assumes there is a model that can be made in addition to the information. Maybe the weather is chaotic.

It is, but that doesn't mean you couldn't predict it with perfect information. A chaotic system is roughly speaking one that is

- sensitive to initial conditions, in the sense that the distance between nearby trajectories in phase space grows as e^{l*t} for time t and some positive number l

- mixing, meaning that given any two open sets in phase space X and Y there's at least one trajectory from a point in X to a point in Y.

and so if you have any error bounds at all on your measurement of the initial state (which of course you always do) then you can't predict where it ends up in the long term. But there are plenty of chaotic systems for which exact numerical computations are quite simple. The logistic map x_{n+1} = rx_{n}*(1-x_{n}) for instance, is chaotic for many values of r.
I really hope a decent Reddit replacement shows up soon; my impression is that HN is mostly webdevs, so surely some of y'all are on it?
It's kind of crazy. He's basically a filtered and focused amplifier for an artist as opposed to typical producer/collaborator. he's the ultimate 'PED' for artists!
I commented it elsewhere with the correct link (but it's good enough to deserve its own post so here it is but I posted the link on my phone so something got borked)
Why were they rolled back? Your content was deemed important?
Kinda crazy how a lower mod can request a higher mod's removal. Pretty unhealthy precedent for a community where mods are already power hungry lunatics and your most obsessed power hungry mod who spends all day needlessly moderating the subreddit can appeal to reddit with "look how much more active I am than him; he barely does anything! So, gimme the subreddit pls."
Statistically, what are the odds that you're someone who actually understands enough about teaching and learning to be able to identify why education is 'broken' and successfully 'disrupt' it, as opposed to someone who just thinks they understand it but actually is suffering from Dunning-Kruger syndrome?

If a guy in a dirty denim jacket comes to you outside the bus station and tells you he's Jesus, he absolutely might be Jesus. However assuming that he's not is a perfectly good heuristic.
As a Brit, watching the militarisation of the US police force is kinda scary. Hearing about successful push back and positive legislation is good.

A quick bit of Googling, I can't find any evidence of weapons a being placed on police drones in Illinois, so this seems preemptive, which is good to see!

(Our own police force has many of its own problems)
Classic attempt to break a strike. Would mods be employee, this would be illegal (at least in France). This shows how Reddit the company think how the people who work for them for free on Reddit the platform and make its value.
Because they know most will put up with it, just like users. At least, in my view. I've moved from Reddit (user, not a mod), but i think we're fringe. Reddit is going to be humming along like normal soon enough as long as they don't severely upset the average user.
That's projected over 7 years, so $101 million per year. The city's annual budget is nearly 6 billion dollars. While $707 million sounds big, it's quite small relatively speaking.

If you'd rather criminalize homelessness, build prisons and courts, employ more cops and prosecutors and prison guards, and defense lawyers for the inevitable lawsuits that arise from inhumane treatment, you might want to work up a budget for all that. And tell me where the money is going to come from, in a state with no income tax.
Right, agreed, which is why the very long sunset period would make people grumble but theoretically not yell for blood.

That said I’m not sure if it would work. Just speculating.
Unlikely.

Reddit will anonymize -- well, "anonymize" -- the data by disassociating posts and comments from the username. This is potentially gdpr compliant (anonymity is a valid way to do things!). There's separately a balancing act: eg a post is valuable to everyone who commented in the thread.

So it's not clear that this is wrong, and forcing them to go further will be a slow process involving complaining to a country-specific DPA; getting that DPA to take on what will be a very low-priority case; letting the DPA process play out; and seeing if Reddit will appeal.
Aha, this makes sense - especially because I have a relatively narrow IPD! We also weren’t using the mat with the tilted sides, as I recall, which probably makes an impact. Thank you for the explanation, and good luck with the platform! It was really exciting to finally use the tech after watching it develop for so long and I do expect it’ll be part of our tabletop group one day. I mentioned it elsewhere, but if you folks could license some of those complicated, mini-heavy board games like big trouble in little china, it would be a dream. Finally play the complex games without the complex setup.

Our company started building AR software around the time of the Tilt5 kickstarter and seeing your team’s efforts was really inspirational to us. Congrats on all your success so far, I look forward to giving it another try…and calibrating my eyeballs first.
> By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me. As I got closer, the dull enterprise typeface slowly came into focus: Cellebrite.

Yeah, uh huh.

Good analysis tho
The worst part is when kindly relatives give your kids huge toys, like a doll house or rocking horse. I know they mean well but the gift ends up being a burden just due to the space it takes up and you can't get rid of it without offending the giver.
Reddit has essentially declared war on its users, they’re going to fight back.
A Comment section post, like language, is a virus.
You’re insane if you think that is happening in the next decade. Half of moderation is just deciding what kind of content you want on the subreddit. Should discussion be serious or jokey? Memes allowed? Or maybe a joke is being run into the ground and needs to get banned just to keep the memes funny for longtime browsers?

Something like r/SmashBros closing the subreddit for a weekend when the new game launched and funneling new users (ie casual normies) into an alternative subreddit is sometimes the best thing moderators can do, but getting an AI to intuit when/whether to do that would be nigh impossible.
Yeah, a good AB testing framework would either refuse to let you break things down too much or have a large warning about the results not being significant, but that doesn't always stop the business-types from trying to wiggle in some way for them to show a win.
Is there a post somewhere that expands on this title? I only see some Redditors' reactions to what happened but not what actually happened… what am I missing?
I have so many tools that I feel this way about. I enjoy lending them to people because it makes owning them feel like less of a waste, but I don't have enough of a social network to lend them often enough to "break even" on the second cost.
I'm not sure I even understand the article or what point it is making, as it seems somewhat removed from my own experiences. The expletives also don't help to present a nuanced argument.

I'm not in a big corp, we are a rather small team, but we do all of our operations ourselves and it doesn't appear to particularly suck. Sure, the more the complexity of a system grows, the more you might have to split up responsibilities so that not everyone does everything... but not every business is giga-scale and needs kubernetes, at least not initially.

Then again, I also very rarely have deadlines and don't work at nights...

There's a tutorial how to build the device that monitors the onset of sleep ("Dormio", version 3"):

Stop pushing the narrative that the mods are the source of the protest. They're just acting on the behalf of the members of their subreddit who are upset at the direction of the company.
Simpson's paradox is sometimes about spurious correlations, but the original paradox Simpson wrote about was simply a binary question with 84 subgroups, where 3 or 4 subgroups with the outlying answer just had a significant enough amount of all samples, and a significant enough effect, to mutate the whole.
Well that’s a highly optimized take on The Prisoner’s Dilemma
> I think you overestimate the amount of control that CEO’s and HR heads have.

As an example, if I was CEO…

Killing any public facing product requires CEO approval. Boom instant oversight and change in behavior. Quickly raises the cost of killing something and the CEO can decide the brand damage and financials.

If I was Ruth…

All promotions should show the employee has an understanding of long term value, and understands how to help maintain a big system.

At places I’ve worked in the past promos expect to see on-call success wins and bug fixes and similar as part of a well rounded packet. Seems like an easy add.
why would you build your livelihood as a 3rd party app this day in age dependent on another company?

This story of companies changing policies is nothing new, and a obvious risk if you pursue this type of business dependent upon other peoples platforms. Companies yanking access to data/api usage/changing terms for farmville games/changing ad words terms/etc. has been going on since the internet was commercialized in the 90s.

People who did make money off apps like this, should call it a good run for a few years and move on to the next thing.
I created Video Hub App which is MIT License

https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

I also sell it for $5 and have sold just over 5,000 copies last month (5 years old app). Importantly, $3.50 of every purchase goes to a cost-effective charity, GiveWell recommended Against Malaria Foundation (see website for details).

https://videohubapp.com/

I call this charityware and I wrote about it years ago: https://medium.com/@whyboris/charityware-doing-good-with-pro...
As you can see from the text (signed by the governor today; effective immediately), this is a new restriction. All underlined text is newly added to the law. Text with a strikethrough is removed from the law.

The law also adds many new data reporting obligations, and empowers the Attorney General to investigate (with teeth) violations.
I dislike the notifications that I get (initially until I disable them) for subreddits I don't describe to.

Apollo is also just /so much/ better. It is 95% of my reddit experience.

Once it's gone I'll probably just move onto old.reddit.com. With the way things are though, I wouldn't be surprised if old.reddit.com gets removed.

I don't think 3 months to recover from COVID is considered long COVID.

12 weeks to recover from a viral illness, is unfortunately not special.

I believe most definitions are 12weeks+

WHO definition is 3 months from onset with symptoms for at least 2 months (so there could be a brief recover period after which symptoms return).

If it took you "3 months to shake the symptoms" you wouldn't meet WHO criteria.
I personally thought this during my college days. Never pursued this idea but kept it my mind as a way to compress files and share just index to first meta data, which will then link to next and next and so on.
It's also way easier to build a community when the buy-in is clicking a "subscribe" button with an account you already have and are logged into and knowing you can unsubscribe at any time, as opposed to registering another username, giving a random site admin your email, verifying your email, trusting they're not gonna leak your info or password, etc.

Plus everyone already knows how to use all the functionality, and they already have an app on their phone they can access you and posts will appear in the feed they're already checking.
I won't deny that as a possibility, but the majority of my Reddit usage has been during its mobile-dominant era so it's not as if low effort mobile posts are unfamiliar.

Why is 'sunspot activity driving changes in the Earth's dynamo that then kick off earthquakes' a loopy idea?

We are hours away from coronal mass ejection catastrophe right now as solar cycle 20 builds in intensity. It seems reasonable to me that the complex relationship between the moon's gravitational pull and massive sun activity could affect our tiny little planet
Watch the episode of PBS’s Frontline that dropped last week about the danger of trucks on US roadways because of the lack of underride prevention devices. They interview several former officials at NHTSA who talk about the agency being under a chokehold of regulatory capture.
Same can be said about how they mods are treating the rest of the sub.
Bro, you're walking into their property and getting pissed at their decorations. They need to make money, and Americans at least have shown that they vastly prefer to pay for things and services by looking at ads, rather than by paying with money.

If you don't want ads, pay for the privilege and get reddit premium. If you don't want to pay and you can't handle ads and you refuse to use an adblocker but MUST keep visiting for some reason, then stop whining - you've directly refused every solution.
Others have added additional prices that must be paid after the fact for maintenance, and storage.

I'd offer another that has to be paid before the price in money:

Research cost.

Increasingly I don't need "things." I need the best/right "thing" for the job. And for hobbies or high cost/risk purchases (think car, house, big dollar contracts) I find I need to invest substantial time into researching my problem and then my options for solutions, which takes lots of my time. Because the cost of getting it wrong often means even more time, money, and headaches that I don't want to deal with, I sometimes find myself over indexing on the up front part to avoid the pain of getting it wrong.

In many cases the cost of time invested eclipses the cost of the object because the cost of the time to remedy it is more than the cost of replacing it.
What's unhinged about it? It's the same principle, the only difference is severity of the violation.

Of course being raped is miles ahead of the weak form of mind control attempt that is advertising, but it's the same damn scale.
There's no information here, just a link to a reddit post where people refer to an email that isn't posted. Odd submission.

I assume YTM is far inferior to what you had? That's bundled with my premium, but I don't use it much on account of Apple Music's integration with my own longtime music library (which, ironically, I remember GM being also strong with letting you upload your own collection)
Also, the judge's opinion:

"On its face, the Ordinance sweeps so broadly that it criminalizes innocuous drawings (from a child’s drawing of a mermaid to pro-police messages written by the Seattle Police Foundation) that can hardly be said to constitute 'visual blight' and which would naturally wash away in the next rain storm."
In capitalist America, stuff owns you.
I believe you mean "hollowed out" and not "hallowed out." There's an important distinction between the two words.
I've met Steve, and I have to disagree. In my view he is not ego-driven and is quite thoughtful and considerate.

Is it possible that he's right? That the damage done to reddit by these boycotts or the reaction to them isn't as bad as the media hype would have you believe?

There's surprisingly little one can be 100% sure of. All you really can do is see if something matches motivation, patterns of behavior, logic, and so on. So I think your argument is rather one for why companies (and individuals) shouldn't behave in a scummy fashion, than for why people shouldn't think scummy companies are doing scummy things.
It’s a dinosaur company with a dinosaur board. Other than the CEO of YC every other single member of the board is some aging boomer who has probably never used Reddit 2 days in a row

I feel bad for spez at this point. We obviously are seeing what he deems as the boards request of him. We have no idea what he really feels about everything going on
Maybe not control but the ability to have an advance warning would be a huge gain in terms of public safety.

Yeah, it's certainly possible. In Apple's case, I think their advantage is they are ultimately a hardware company. When I was doing work for them, there was definitely an understanding that hardware along with macOS and iOS came first, and everything else was side dressing, more or less. They also focused on interoperability and long-term viability of their features and products. In contrast, while The Google does have hardware products, they are in no way as prolific as Apple's. Rather, they've focused on software products that not only were built with the explicit mindset of competing with other companies, but competed with their very own products. Apple isn't a perfect company, but their modus operandi is evidently far more stable long term as a cash cow corporation than The Google. Outside a narrow window of products, it's completely unclear whether The Google's services as a whole provide enough value that they can continue to eat themselves by their own tail.

> indefinitely

Right. Indefinitely, just not infinitely. We've yet to see a company like Apple remain on top for hundreds of years.
I wouldn't necessarily shame the developers and designers that were just doing what the PM/leadership at Reddit told them to do while getting paid to do so. It's a job - nothing more.

Let me know if you want a beta reader with no exposure to sed. I’ve always wanted to learn the tool, but never got around to it.
The standard chemistry curriculum was strange to me. It seemed like we had to learn every incorrect model that civilization ever had about atoms, molecules, and electrons.

It seemed like the kids who were into chemistry were frustrated by the distraction, and the kids who weren't were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of concepts. They didn't seem like useful stepping stones to how things actually worked, just wasted time on things that then had to be un-learned for the next module.

I didn't need much of a "why" to crunch through stoichiometry as a kid who was into physics and algebra who liked puzzles, but I also stopped doing chem after my freshman undergrad requirement. I didn't really understand organic chem and the tie between carbon backbones and interesting organic molecules that can actually do things. I think I would have taken it farther if we hadn't exclusively focused on simple ions in solution for like 2 years, implying to a high schooler that the only career available was more efficient ways of manufacturing ammonia.
Why did you switch your django application to be serveless, and aside from pricing did you see performance improvements?

Reddit is an independent subsidiary of Advanced Publications, a holding company. There are no adults in the "running the business" room. There is a BoD though.

But everyone invested is crazy rich and doesn't have time to waste micromanaging a $5-$50M investment.
