> don't care about the API issue, despite being a professional dev. I find sharecropping on someone else's product a perilous path that eventually comes up snake-eyes. Like, the moment someone makes a third party app for Reddit, Twitter, Snapchat, or anything else, they are on an expiry meter. Have people not learned this yet?

You are missing the forest for the trees here. The issue is not that they are charging for API access. The issue is that assurances were given that the transition would be reasonable but pricing withheld until the last minute.

Negotiations then proceeded in bad faith, with reddit never intending to allow them to pay the price asked (no methods existed to even make this transaction possible with a 30 day deadline, and other app creators were ignored completely when approaching reddit sales).

When the dev made the situation public (with a 'go ahead' from reddit) then Huffman appears to have taken it personally, and instead of engaging with the community concerns about lack of options for mobile moderators, went on a tantrum. He then discounts any concerns over his handling of the situation and doubles down on libelous claims that were proven false.

This is on top of using reasoning that is not only dubious, but contradictory. If they really care about making a profit, why not offer something of value and charge for it, like the 3rd party apps do? You don't win customers by making something shitty and then removing all of their options and then not even have a plan in place to make money with the shitty alternative.

Huffman has been unable to monetize reddit and he isn't presenting any way to. All he is doing is acting unhinged and destructive -- with both community trust/relations and the corporation itself being used in ways that can not be turned around.

Usually corporations burn their trust as a short-sighted scheme to make a bunch of money quickly (reputable brand cuts so many costs the reputation is lost, etc) and this is tragic, but at least they got something out of it.

This guy seems like he is just burning things down because he is frustrated that they exist successfully on their own using the same resources he has, while he cannot.
>Good laws should be applied as widely as possible.

Good for whom? Supermajority, sure. Anything less should be at the state and local level.
What would a moderator normally do? Delete comments, issue warnings, ban if necessary. So they can just do the same thing. Nothing changes on their end, but for the user, they're only banned from one curated feed and not from the topic. I guess eventually a user might want to occasionally submit stuff that doesn't belong in every feed, maybe they indicate that somehow, if they care. For most people this isn't a big deal and for the 99% of lurkers it just lets them pick what curated feed to view.
Not sure why this person is getting downvoted, these seems like fair questions.

Edit: Now get why it is downvoted, but it's fair to note that farmers represent a small (10% from what I gather here) portion of futures, so I don't know how reprensentative they are.
You'd be even more surprised to learn that 50% of Canadians live further south than much of the US ;)

No, I just flipped the numbers. 12 sworn officers for ever admin.
I’m pretty sure Google was like that from the very beginning. (Maybe the 40th or 50th page of the results instead of the 44th, but the same principle.)

I don’t know why they have this behaviour… but it’s low cost: most people who can’t find the pages they’re looking for in the first hundred results aren’t going to look at the second hundred — they’ll refine their query, try a different search engine, or give up instead.
I'm talking about replying to SMS/iMessages from a non-Apple smartwatch. For example, with my Garmin watch on Android I can do things like send a canned message like "Yes" or "On my way" or whatever from the watch itself in reply to a notification. This is not possible on iOS with a non-Apple watch.

Why wouldn't you trust it? Yes, in theory a smartwatch could abuse my trust and send my friends spam or something but so could some no name Bluetooth keyboard yet I can use those just fine on iOS. Why should APPLE get to decide what devices I trust?

Microsoft did a hacky workaround with a whole host of limitations that proves my point. Apple is keeping the proper way to do it to themselves to make their products seem better.

Tough luck. If it's that important, register your ownership interest somewhere and keep that property claim alive by renewing it once every few years for a nominal fee. Property rights are not so important that the world should stop turning if a property owner has retired to a cave without leaving any forwarding address.
There are billions of people in the developing world, China, India, Africa. Their income is low per capita, but the combined numbers are so high.

Petroleum fuels are easy to store and transport in low infrastructure environments. Many areas don't have strong electric grids, they don't have 24hr electricity, and even if they do it's not reliable. They rely on inexpensive two and three wheeled vehicles extensively, much more than developed nations.

Mobility is needed for them to feed themselves and progress. It isn't a "nice-to-have", it's a necessity for life. This isn't going to change anytime soon.
I had most of mine re-appear, and Redact was failing to re-delete them (it would lose authentication the second it tried to delete a comment).

So I just ran Nuke Reddit History and deleted them all again.
Highly unlikely, that would imply that CTRs are going up during a partial user revolt / shutdown. On the other hand, perhaps Reddit could squeeze a little extra ad revenue per click given they control the market prices.

What seems more likely Spez is lying and/or saying this with the subtext that a week of disruption hasn't impacted what their projected quarterly revenue will be, because they'll have time to revise those projections and smooth it all over by the time they IPO. But re-projections never happen in real time, it'll take a few months to see if they're deviating far enough to require a downward projection.
Arbitrage and it's various squishier more stochastic cousins are the vehicle by which information flows through markets. Markets exist as a global network of interactions and persistent imbalances anywhere in the system can have massive consequences. Generally, these consequences rhyme with "two counterparties which don't interact with one another directly all that often suddenly discover grave disagreements in the desired price and quantity of something they'd like to trade". Economic wreckage is the result, at least, but also imagine what would happen if corn farmers produced only half the crop that their buyers would have liked to purchase.

So, markets work pretty hard to make sure that information from one area of the global economy can flow to all of the rest of the system with relative efficiency. This works a lot like a game of telephone where changes in one market venue propagate through related instruments to other venues crossing space, species, and even time. Much like telephone, each pair of neighbors wants to do a good job sharing information without loss and, also, over long distances minor errors add up.

Arbitrage is the glue which prevents this from happening. Arbitrage says that any time anyone discovers some level of disconnection occurring, they can make money at very low risk by voting to shift markets to better align with one another.

Arbitrageurs are getting paid to provide a service to the market and subsequently the entire world. Their actions ensure that information flows throughout the global financial system quickly and without relying on centralized planning. Without them, markets could become disconnected and wander out of agreement.
For the same reasons Android just actively broke it. Sandboxing is a matter of user security, if you let apps violate sandboxing then you can't have a meaningful permissions system.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/more-than-1000-android-apps...

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-permissions-bypass-pl...

You can allow certain common kinds of sandboxing crossover - apps that want to touch the camera roll, apps that want to touch wireless/location data (which are one and the same), ones that want to use the contacts, etc. But at the end of the day if you don't fall into one of these buckets you're going to have an awkward experience going into the OS and approving moving stuff into/out of the sandbox.

It'd be nice if you could allow complete crossover for certain apps - so, VLC can touch all of the podcast app files, or whatever. But I can understand why they don't even want to cross that rubicon.
>Famously, that wasn't low enough.

I had a Palm Pre in 2010 with a removable battery and wireless charging.
I would say the crucial thing is actually making a falsifiable prediction, not having a scientific grounding. There are also many "just so" stories that make sense at face value but are not really falsifiable (e.g. Evo psych is full of them). I think the theory here does make some falsifiable predictions, which is great, so guess we will see. But I'm not holding my breath.
Yes. And sadly even before the blackout it’s lost a lot of charm from the early days. I see people hating on pun threads and threads like above on Reddit and it makes me nostalgic and sad. Being a geek isn’t cool there anymore.

It’s not just farmers. It’s useful for anything that involves future delivery of a good that could have a variable price or production.

A mining company would sell gold futures under the expectation that they will mine a known quantity of gold. They trade the risk of price fluctuations to match against their known liabilities (e.g. labor or depreciation of equipment costs).

Now replace “gold” with lithium (for electric car batteries) and you can create the greenwashed story that you want to hear.
>Hell, very often when mods are too much against the communities interests they migrate to another sub or sabotage it and then mods cave in.

Yup. See /r/marijuana and /r/trees or /r/worldpolitics and /r/anime_titties for examples.
I have heard the same refrain for 40 years. It's a vacuous non-statement which is 0% profound and yet always, always hides a deep disdain for helping actual people with an ironic exuberance for stimulus spending the second corporate profits are threatened. We'd have more than enough money if we had sensible tax policies (read: higher taxes on corporations and the rich) and didn't literally set it on fire by blowing so much dough on weapons.

I mean, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt here, because I can't really know what you really think in depth about such issues, but if you wanna sling meme solutions then it's hard for me to not to fill in the blanks with the rest of it, which is a bunch of corporatist stuff masquerading as today's libertarianism.
The lower limit to silver's usefulness in coinage
Moderation is also essential to keep communities on topic and enforce a baseline quality level. It doesn't matter for a generic "funny" kind of community, but something like /r/AskHistorians doesn't work without someone ensuring that the guidelines are met.

Of course those can also be grounds for disagreement, and I'd be lying if I'd say that I have never been frustrated with a mod when I posted something that was removed even though it clearly didn't break the rules, but I think that kind of false positive is sort of the price you have to pay to keep a community on track.

I'd rather have that than have everything devolve to low quality and effort Threads.
Ellsberg is in many ways to mold from which modern day whistleblowers were cast. Edward Snowden said in an interview recently that when he was debating internally about whether or not he should become a whistleblower, knowing the ramifications it would have for his life, Ellsberg was what gave him the courage to do so. It was nice to learn that while in exile Snowden was able to get connected with Ellsberg and develop a friendship with him. Unfortunately Snowden and other modern day whistleblowers seem to have suffered more than Ellsberg who got off on something of a technicality.
I don't think anyone expected Apple users to lead the fight against API limitations.
Totally agreed but good regulation needs a vision and common values beyond a common single market (alas we just do more regulations centrally in the fear to get regulatory fragmentation decentrally)
It's worth noting that roughly half of Canada's population lives in the Quebec-Windsor Corridor [0] (the land between Quebec City, QC and Windsor, ON). This region is really the Canadian equivalent of the Boston-Washington corridor in the States, so imagine if nearly 150 million lived in BosWash.

Oligarch Boasts of Taking 350 Ukrainian Children from Bakhmut
I think those big companies are poor examples, as big companies have always more problems with aligning people around customer needs/business priorities. There's a lot more of corporate politics that takes time and a lot more money to waste (when the core business itself is highly profitable). If you look at the smaller companies (e.g. Linear.app) it is immensely hard to argument that they would not be building "useful software."

In our case, we stay close to the customer. Some ways we achieve this:

- We have a shared Slack channels with at least 20 customers. All engineers are on these channels and see the communications that is going on.

- All engineers work with customer support 1 week every X weeks. All engineers are on the support channel too and see the topics of the tickets / customer requests.
- We gather customer feedback for feature requests and all new features are based on business priorities informed by this feedback.

- PMs and Designers regularly talk with customers when doing product research. When we have an idea of what we might want to build, 1-2 engineers join them in shaping an Epic (size: 1-2 months) or a Story (size: ~2 weeks). One of these engineers will lead the Epic/Story, which means that they amass a lot of context of the both problems of the customers and the technical details of the solution. Usually they are able to do much of the scoping/product decisions quite quickly after the Epic/Story has started.

- Engineers watch a sales / customer success call every two weeks and then join to discuss the contents of the call together.
Congratulations Canada - welcome to the big leagues! I hope they continue to grow and become a meaningful player on the global stage!

Canada is a wonderful country with a lot of places to visit, culture to experience, people to interact with - I visited there 5 years ago and was able to visit only a small part of such a beautiful country.

Now, they can (hopefully) deal with the issues that come along with increasing your population by millions per year, along with a lack of economic planning, though from what I hear and read, it seems like not a lot of headway is being made:

- Unaffordable housing to a large portion of Canadians (Condos sell in the more heavily populated parts of Canada for high 6-figures/millions of dollars)

- Unaffordable rent to a large portion of Canadians (A friend in Canada is paying around $1300 CAD a month for a 700sqft bachelor suite not including all utilities)

- Rampant inflation and opportunistic price-gouging from corporations

- The increased load on the already strained healthcare system, making Canadians
wait up to 3-4 weeks to see their family doctor, and months/years for specialists.

- Monopolization and lack of competition in critical industries (Telecoms and Grocery come to mind as of late)

- Multiple allegations of Chinese interference in Canadian politics and foreign influence of active MPs that go seemingly ignored by the current party in power.
I used a tampermonkey script to do this.

Ha. I just bought two ESP32-based ones: with a 5" & a 7" TFT display cuz I wanted to try both.

My application was an HMI (using LGVL) for a device I'm building to order, but I've since decided that I don't need touch input and thus can use a much smaller display.

The devices however, are cheap and really nice for the $30 price tag. Having such capable, easy to use hardware at such a low price point opens up markets that couldn't feasibly be served before. There are a lot of people who need one-offs or very small quantities of devices that can't withstand a 5- or 6-figure development cost. When that cost drops to low four-figures because you can use the Arduino ecosystem, then the cash flows.
The model doesn't run code, it generates text that happens to be code. It's up to the client calling the model API to use this text, e.g. compiling and executing (if that's your scenario) and calling the model again to fix the original code if needed.
Both claims should be backed up.
Because it's an example you can use to explain a forward contract, which is easily understandable as a form of hedging risk. Vast amounts of the value of crops are hedged, either through forwards, futures or derivatives. Crops aren't destroyed because of hedges (in the financial sense). Indeed, the whole point is to ensure you don't need to, because you've hedged the value of your crop.

I get where you're coming from, and there's a lot which is not great in farming, but hedging values isn't one of those areas.
Only a small portion of Canada is livable (basically along the US border) - so it is quite small in that regard. Also, 50% of them live further south than the US border: http://i1.wp.com/metrocosm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ca...
> maybe eastern Ontario

What do you mean by "maybe"? Eastern Ontario contains the 4th largest metropolitan area in Canada (Ottawa) which is a very reasonable comparator, the density is 195/km.
electrek.co is hardly an objective source.
They don't have anything to do with hedging. Good questions, just off-topic, which isn't something HN tends to like.

Totally :) But I decided against living in Seattle after noticing how far north Boulder was compared to Arizona bothered me. Though otherwise I was all set to move to Seattle. I still haven't been there yet. But then later I moved to the northeast for a while so I suppose Toronto would be something I'd try. So yeah, joking :)
My impression from reading their Discord server yesterday is this:

- Volunteers from Miraheze planned to create a paid wiki hosting service to supplement Miraheze called WikiForge

- Several of those volunteers left Miraheze to start a free wiki host called WikiTide

- The remaining volunteers were burnt out already and decided to call it quits

- There are some talks of handing off Miraheze to another group of volunteers

FWIW I had a horrible experience using Miraheze last year:

- September: I created my wiki

- November: Miraheze had an error with a drive and over 25% of their wikis were lost. It took them weeks to admit the extent of this error and that they had no plans to use a professional recovery service

- Early December: I recreated my wiki and rewrote it (250+ articles)

- Late December: Miraheze recovered the back-ups they thought they had lost and said they would merge the new and old versions of recreated wikis. Somehow, due to 'someone unplugging a hard drive', they lost all of the content I'd written since November.

I've since learned my lesson about making local back ups, but come on. It was clear there had been tons of technical and communication problems for a long time.
It wasn't low enough in the sense that Sodom had less than 10. Abraham was negotiating with God for a lower amount for that reason

I'd note that this number gets thrown around a lot, but it was <500k permanent residents, the 1 million figure includes >600k temporary work/study permits and asylum claims.
Yeah. I ordered a bass at MSRP in September 2021 and it did not come until May 2022. (Another symptom of the supply side crunch.)
It's pretty clear that the guy is more of a hobby programmer than a teacher, and is trying to hobby program teacher. It's unlikely to succeed.

I agree, charging money for an app built atop a free service is sketchy and doesn't feel right. But how much are they actually making? HN only has a few 10's of thousands of DAUs, and HN's population is notoriously difficult to monetize. Still, it wouldn't bother me one bit if the HN policies changed to forbid such parasitic behavior.

The real story is that this is all a sideshow and low-value distraction compared to the commercial entities scraping the fuck out of HN, Reddit, StackOverflow, and the Internet at large purely for their own gain without giving anything back to the data providers. The real parasites being the data-hungry LLM makers who drive zero external traffic and don't credit sources in any way.

I've actually taken all of my non-commercial websites offline for the first time in 22 years, because I don't wish to continue feeding this beast. I can't see any upside in continuing to donate to them.
