I wonder if "pay to compile" would work well. In other words, open source your code to the world, but if you want to download an .exe you need to pay an upfront cost.

Obviously doesn't work with all types of software, but even something like a C++ backend library (like OpenCV) you could open source the C++, but sell access to the python bindings.
Oh no did i get woosh'd? I guess I'm feeling a little trigger happy after seeing all these "AI dating app" posters come up in the Mission. I don't think they're parodies...

Evaluating the quality of my retrieval-augmented generation system
Sure it is not benevolent. But fuck do I love them for it right now. It’s better for all of us. And it took the game to a whole new level.
Back in the feature phone days there were zero updates.

If one was lucky, maybe with developer tools there was a firmware update, and even those happened at most once.
Someone clever enough to try this might also just invest their cash in treasuries and cut out the middleman's fees, unless you think you know better than the bank that interest rates will be coming down soon and the opportunity will evaporate (banks are not great at predicting market conditions as showcased recently by SVB and company but I wouldn't do it personally without some edge).

Edit: Although if the bank was mismanaged into a bad liquidity situation, they might want to offer an even better price than the difference between treasuries would provide as incentive.

Just because you have a clock doesn't mean you have to play blitz. Why not play a classical time control like 90+30? The benefit of a time control is it keeps the game fair (one player can't spend more time than the other) and ensures the game doesn't last longer than you want it to.
Going off the pooling mode feature map[0], it might be possible to mitigate that issue using transaction pooling, but not session pooling — which means a restricted feature set and cooperation from the application (which would just not call restricted features up).

Not OP but this can be explained.

Porn = Nude Pictures/audio/videos of human beings. People having sex of any type in the form of video/audio/images.

Politics = Discussion of any political ideology. Libeal/Conservative/Country etc etc. I personally disagree with OP here but wanted to define it for you anyway.

Bigoted = judging/not liking people purely based on where they come from, color of their skin, sexual orientation or religion.

Asshole = someone who engages in bad faith with someone and/or calls them names. disagreeing != asshole. But if you add name calling, verbal abuse, direct threats to someone, I would call them as asshole.

Mmmm I have an issue with the specifics of that metaphor applying to Reddit, but in general, people volunteer because volunteering brings them some non-monetary benefit, so I see it as basically the same dynamic. Of course you can’t lock the doors, just like you can’t physically obstruct/harm scabs.

In the near future when AGI eliminates scarcity (2025?) this will have to be litigated!

Too bad Sony has crippled Catalyst Browse so badly. It doesn't even do 10-bit exports, so I refuse to use it with my A7S III. For proper formats and 10-bit export you need Catalyst Prepare which is (surprise) a subscription based software.

This is an excellent resource and a great read, but DAMN do money markets seem stupid as all get out to me. Where is the productive output of all these arbitrage shell games? How is this more than an abysmal waste of time and resources simply to make a small handful of bankers richer?
In most forums I know the long running threads are mostly the "tell a joke" threads, which collect some off topic posts. Most other discussions are short lived as elsewhere.

The main difference to me is that most forums are harder to find, thus more intimate groups where reddit invites others to stumble in.
This was discussed quite a bit after 2004 asian tsunami, which was triggered by an earthquake near Antarctica and there was also some massive gamma ray burst (or something) occurring about the same time.

I see that New York Times is careful not to mention Manning, or Snowden, or Assange, or indeed draw any of the lines to the present day situation - lines that Ellsberg himself tried so desperately to draw in the last months of his life.

In the book of Genesis, there is a part where Abraham haggles with God(!) trying to save the city of Sodom. If there's 50 honest people, will you spare it? How about 45? 40? He gets all the way to 10. Famously, that wasn't low enough.

I feel like Sodom lost one of the honest men covering for it today.
Are you saying that google’s engineers aren’t above average in the industry? I certainly know they don’t have a monopoly on rock stars, but in aggregate do you think they have the same hiring bar as a boring f500 company or even Microsoft or oracle?
The other thing to also consider is that Reddit funding is partially attached to investments. Investments for Reddit and many other investment based companies dried up over the government pulling back interest rates to deal with inflation.
Wow, even ignoring the error message comments those are textbook ChatGPT responses.
I don’t think there is a right call. You just have to live the life that you’ve been handed and the adapt accordingly.

It’d suck if no one knew how to repair anything, but it’d also suck if everyone repaired everything all the time. But we have both and it makes society a little more vibrant.

That said, I repair some things and don’t others. “Is it worth my time?” is what I ask, and not purely from a financial dimension — also from an enjoyment aspect.
Could nuclear reactions inside the earth emit radiation that is picked up by these detectors? I think probably not. But if so, imagine molten nuclear fuel coming together and creating extra energy that soon after produces earthquakes.
> Not on a time scale of 100 years or so

AT THIS MOMENT it's an economic loser. If you need reprocessed fuel in 100 years, by the miracle of nonzero interest rates you save money by doing it closer to then instead of right now. The cost of storing the fuel until then is low enough that this works out.

> It's not a boondoggle at all, it's a rational way of anticipating future nuclear fuel requirements, as above.

No, it's a waste of money to do it right now.

Proper cost attribution of externalities could provide an alternative to regulation... unfortunately the only way we currently have to measure these externalities is regulation. Directly regulating the bad outcome instead of the externalities that contribute to it is less likely to lead to misaligned economic incentives.

Regulation is not a bad thing - though within the US a fair amount of regulations were constructed to increase the barrier to enter a market at the behest of lobbying.

If I had a take a critical desktop-sized PC traveling, I'd consider building it in a rackmount 4U chassis, adding additional bracing (e.g., to keep big GPUs from wrenching on the PCIe and board, and for general chassis flex), and bolt it into a shock-reducing rackmount flight case when not at home.

But I'm trying to stick to just lugging around a vintage ThinkPad, and keeping anything larger in self-hosted servers or at cloud providers.

If all the wealth of the US billionaires was confiscated (all of it) it would fund the government for 9 months. And then what? Where are you going to get the money to fund the government? Countries that have tried confiscating all the wealth from their wealthy have made things worse for the rest of the country, not better.

As for Musk, if he didn't make a lot of money, SpaceX never would have been possible. His wealth is all invested in his companies, and he uses it to create more companies.
I think the way the current non-pro models handle batteries is good. You only need to remove the back, and then you get direct access to the battery
> If a battery lasts a couple of days, I would much rather my phone were waterproof than be able to swap the battery.

You can have both.

> Having a power bank solves the problem of discharged phone for me

There are cases where a power bank isn't a good solution. They big and heavy. Not being able to swap in a fully-charged battery on demand means that I can no longer use my phone for certain things that I used to be able to do.
As someone who owns the model of truck pictured in the video, there is no possible way that you could kill the driver without risking death to the passenger. Those trucks are TINY.

That video is pure propaganda, but I would support the CEO if he wanted to sit in the passenger seat and try and take out a dummy next to him.
> The problem is not really the battery anymore.

Huh, why not? I'd love yours too, but battery is also good. What do you do with a superb open source phone where you need to replace device because battery is dead and you cannot replace it? Let's please aim for both and everything!
I got a chuckle out of that... I'd be very interested in hearing if this was ever done in the history of consumer loans (from a reputable financial institution). Don't get me wrong, I've got a 4% mortgage so would totally go for some of that "reduced loan payoff" stuff, but it's not realistic.
I had to validate a phone number just to order food at MULTIPLE restaurants in the bay area using the ordering interface at the QR code at the table. They did not have paper menus. An SMS confirmation was required just to place an order from sitting at the table. This wasn't even for payment, just for ordering.

The DMV also required a stupid SMS confirmation just to renew my car registration.

I use virtual numbers for pretty much everything, but yeah, welcome to 2023.
HN once tried a "no politics week". It was one of the bigger clusterfucks in the history of the site, and the experiment was quickly abandoned.
RIF developer counters Reddit CEO’s claims
"but they have little motive to protect the misconduct within local police precincts"

Maybe. The way I see it, all of law enforcement has an "US vs Them (criminals, etc)" attitude, and are very hesitant to throw each other under the bus, or even openly criticize eachother unless it is 100% necessary...
So I guess reddit is still closed.
Suppose I owe you a million dollars for 30-years at a fixed rate of 5%. If the prevailing rates are 5% or less (and you think I'll remain solvent), there's no real reason for you to take less than face value if I agree to pay it off now.

Suppose then prevailing rates go up to 10%. Now you have incentive to take less than a million dollars if I pay it off now. You could take the million bucks and lend it back out at 10% now, but you're stuck with 5% with me.

The question is "how much incentive/how much less would you rationally take?"
It wouldn’t work because it wouldn’t benefit YC.

HN is an inspiration for how to run a platform and have it be extremely engaging. To tell you the truth I still don’t get why people are so obsessed with “Reddit” and not “HN” alternatives.

But I can see how HN is also in a unique position where a lot of the site users remember the early days of the web, back when things were a lot simpler, and individual focus was not diluted in 100 different directions.
iFixit sells iPhone XS Max batteries for $35, nearly a third of the cost Apple is charging. $99 may not be a ton in some regions of the world, but it is enough that many are unwilling to spend that kind of money on a 5 year old phone, versus for $35, it's a low enough amount that many might just stick with their phone and replace the battery, leading to less e-waste.

And while $99 may not be a lot in some regions of the world, but it's a significant amount of people's discretionary income in other regions (they may not be buying iPhones but the situation isn't much better for other brands as far as I'm aware.) $99 is also enough to outright buy a new cheap Android phone.
I don't think reddit has turned off any APIs, that's not happening until next month.
I would feel like some dudes from ycombinator were trying to cash in on the training data craze.
This is what phones did previously. The issues with it are an increase in complexity and size (you need to physically seperate the components, have terminals, etc.) and that you still absolutely do not want water to get trapped in the battery compartment and possibly expose the battery to water.
It was never my intention to dispute the council decision (choice really). One can disagree with a decision without needing to dispute it.
Concerning the justifications, here again i am a bit confused, because all references you are giving, point to the amount of effort as being one (if not the biggest) concerns... which the what i am saying.

But to take a step back, my main point was about the OP who described the situation as some cancer-cure level of complexity, comparing it to moving 300 million people from the imperial system to the metric system... : And i am saying that the situation here is not that complicated all the technical problem s can be address "at the same time" , but at the price a very large dev. effort and increase in complexity of the code base. The council doesn't think that gil-less is worth that amount of trouble.
How does the case size of a watch compare to the movement size?

Are you prepared to have a similar ratio for your phone? Basically the phones we have now with a permanent, very durable waterproof case?
I think Reddit faces more potential downside here than other similar platforms might, because of the popularity of third-party apps among key contingents of the site (particularly moderators), and also because of the missteps that management has taken dealing with the API changes. If they lose even 5% of their traffic to this debacle they've made a bad decision, IMO.
Yes. This is not a useful line of argument since it has no boundaries. So yes, proposals need to be somehow justified.
> What's stopping figuring out how the hardware can achieve both battery replace-ability and water resistance?

Nothing, since it wasn't all that long ago that there were phones that did this.
Well, nevermind. I haven’t been there in awhile
Meme or not, it legitimately was my favorite "social media" site ever. I'd read interesting things on my feed, and share it to a pool with my other friends, who'd also share the interesting things they read, and we'd all be able to discuss it. It was like reddit but just for my group of friends. It was great.

What about arranging IRL protests, union strikes, war zone evacuations? OP's statement of "Politics rots people's brains" is a very head-in-the-sand statement and ignores one of the truly good and powerful aspects of social media.
If we only consider web servers.

Mac servers are pretty much required for any kind of CICD for Apple development.

>But on the eve of jury deliberations, the judge threw out the case, citing government misconduct, including illegal wiretapping, a break-in at the office of Mr. Ellsberg's former psychiatrist and an offer by President Nixon to appoint the judge himself as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

I assume your city doesn't have rent control, how do rent increases work there? Are they allowed to just send you a notice saying "hey, just fyi your rent is doubling next year"? If there's a specific tenant they don't like are they allowed to increase their rent by more than others?

Flutter is mostly fine. Until you need to implement text input in your app. And it turns out that autocomplete doesn’t work properly on iOS for non-English phones and you discover there’s a bug filled on their tracker for 5 years already and it’s still open [1]. Or you encounter another similar issue that is niche enough that the developers ignore it completely but is frustrating for your users and there’s nothing you can do.

Don’t get me wrong, I would really love Flutter to be THE solution to the cross platform mobile app problem, but sadly it only gets you 95% there and if you really care about the last 5% you’re out of luck.

This is why I only buy phones that support inductive charging. It's really not an expensive feature and it saves so much wear and tear on the charging port.
Honestly as someone who's tried a bunch of android 3rd party apps, I think the official one is good for browsing the site. Customization/feature set is very limited, and the TikTok-vertical-video mode is annoying, but you can swipe between posts horizontally which I use a lot to browse through posts and read comments. That flow isn't present on a lot of third party apps. Also, some other apps don't vary post layout by post type which means if I'm scrolling down through reddit and want to see full size images, it inevitably means link posts have enlarged thumbnails which takes up feed space.

If someone made the official reddit app have customizable colored comment depth lines and added a toggle for the video mode I would be very happy with it.

Obviously I'm just being picky here, I'm very used to the official app. Also, people can patch out ads on Android with revanced anyways.
Interesting factoid in the preamble: the biochemical basis of the addictive nature of social media?

> "Oxytocin and serotonin, she found, work together in a brain region called the nucleus accumbens to produce the good feelings that come from social interaction."

LSD and similar drugs can definitely improve one's 3D-visualization capabilities, but I think this requires putting in a fair amount of work on the concepts beforehand. It's reminiscent of the saying, 'chance favors the prepared mind', so if you spend say a month working extensively with 3D models of molecules, proteins, platonic solids and what not and then (under controlled conditions) ingest a psychedelic, a cognitive breakthrough is possible, such as gaining the ability to visualize what a 3D object looks like after successive x-, y-, z- axis rotations and so on, which is useful skill in many fields, from auto mechanic to protein chemist to structural architect.

Nice to see this subject finally being studied in a rigorous manner, at least.
As I keep mentioning, Nokia has been building hardened phones for construction workers, with replacement batteries, for ages, all the way back to their feature phones.
Mind you, when taxes were the highest ever in the US, we produced billionaires, such as Howard Hughes[0]. On the highest end during this period, income tax was 70% and capital gains tax was a high as 25% (compared to 15% today).

It doesn't stop people at a certain point, because at a certain point the money just isn't "real". If you could earn 60% of a billion dollars, would you take that deal? Of course you would. anyone would. 400 million dollars is a staggering amount of money for anyone.
