2: Uncertainty around Squarespace's technical ability. Are they going to be a rock solid DNS provider? When DNS is down it is no fun. I left a smaller registrar because they couldn't handle large DDoS attacks (we weren't targets, but were affected).
Well, I like the Guggenheim but I still feel there is a place for critiques of popular media and literary merit/appreciation of certain Netflix shows (though I am pretty tired of capeshit, aside from The Boys and shows of that ilk). But I by and large agree, even if I'm biased because I chose to study literature and learn all about "postmodernism."

But look there is something about logical positivist styles of thinking that was very attractive to many of the people Sokal attacks (which is why he is even able to attack them in the first place!), and also to me. I can't tell if that's because I have some deeply repressed control and power fantasies (probably), or because there is something to the analysis of the structure and order of logic and language in a rigorous fashion that reveals something about the order of social and psychological life, even if unintentionally. If these more radical authors used the mathematic and logical formulae in this manner, I don't see how a criticism of "it's poorly defined" works, because anything would be poorly defined in an algebra of society, psychology, history--if you only defined it in terms of contemporary mathematics and logic which seeks to divorce itself from those things.

And modern literary education isn't much better. My inner-authoritarian wants every humanities major to get a rigorous classical education and required courses in logic. Trying to break history is very hard when you have no consciousness of it whatsoever, and the humanities disciplines today are almost designed to keep students away from contributing their work to a "rigorous" STEM field, as they are deemed too reactionary to be worth critiquing or engaging with. It is for the very reason I listed above that its imperative humanities students receive the same basis of education as the STEM majors, and vica versa!
I knew someone who took something and played minesweeper for 8 hours straight. I'd say both are equally productive.
It's far worse option than directly taking money for the API access.
> got it but when will it be implemented by kdenlive? any dev here?

I hate to be that person but https://kdenlive.org/en/developers-welcome/

This is research work. I don't suspect anyone currently has any plans to implement something like this into kdenlive.
> It costs us about $10 million in pure infrastructure costs to support these apps. But it’s not labor, that’s not R&D, that’s not safety, that’s not ML, and that doesn’t include the lost monetization of having users not on our platform. Just pure cloud spend. It’s real money.

He’s saying that it costs them $10M/year in “pure cloud spend” to serve 3% of their users. Despite what they say, if you look at requests, it’s obvious that Apollo is more efficient than Reddit’s app. So if he’s telling the truth, that extrapolates to at least $333M of “pure cloud spend” to serve all of their users.
But were these boots made for licking?
Thanks for taking the time to share the unique perspective.

As an ex-googler with SO much less authority: this article reads like someone working backwards from first principles, and in this case pretty boring/typical ones like “great man theory”, “the liberal elite are weak/dumb”, and “no one wants to work anymore”

Some industries are pretty good at estimating effort.

Eg when a film crew shoots, they have so many weeks, and they usually manage to shoot the footage for the movie within that time.
Gotcha. You still want to preserve that margin anyway.
Do you have source? What I've heard is the opposite: scientists have consistently made conservative predictions because of the hostile political landscape.

Basically, if you predict bad thing X would happen by year Y, and it doesn't, then you're branded a liar. But if you don't predict X will happen, and it happens, nobody's angry at you. It creates an incentive structure where scientists would tone down their predictions, instead of doing their best to find out the most likely outcome.

My google search is - "search something" site:reddit.com

Otherwise is just a lot of AI generated results with close to 0 information.

So I disagree.
Ironically, LLMs could be a game-changer in dealing with SEO noise, not at the search stage, but during the indexing of web pages. By understanding context and semantics, they could help create a more refined and relevant index, effectively cutting through the clutter of SEO-optimized content.
We should take away their shoelaces, just in case the pilot tries to garrote his copilot. Velcro shoes work fine, and a minor fashion offense is a small price to pay to prevent this scenario.

Anthony C Yu's unabridged edition in four volumes on Kindle for me.
The CDC plan is still available online as a PDF (see below). It was targeted toward influenza as that was the pandemic they anticipated. When Covid hit, due to it being a novel coronavirus, there was no plan in place. There was no data. Until that data was available, it would make sense to follow the existing plan and modify it as new data was collected.

What surprises me is that as we learned that Covid was spread in a way similar to influenza that our plan didn't track more closely to the CDC's pandemic plan. It tracked in very much the opposite direction. It's fine to change direction, but we should understand why.

Not just one TLD, I think they have over 40! They must be in the top 3 by number of TLDs owned.

You don’t need to be a registrar to own a TLD, but in their case it seemed pretty essential to their strategy.

DJB cipher suites do that, but a lotta people have no idea how to select cryptographic primitives so they go for something that was popular 30 years ago.

Some fun slides with examples of timing attacks: https://cr.yp.to/talks/2014.10.18/slides-djb-20141018-a4.pdf. Old standards like RFC 5246 often say shit like "it is not believed to be large enough to be exploitable, due to the large block size of existing MACs and the small size of the timing signal" and then get exploited 5 years later.
They could have just priced the API at:
ARPU from Ads on Reddit + some markup for maintaining the API.

Apollo could pass this on to their users as the fee for ads free Reddit experience.

This way their incentives are aligned with Apollo’s.

Both earn money and are incentivized to grow their user base.
Avoiding regulatory action? (though TBF it was ineffective at that too).
You make it sound as if you’re working on RSS3.0 yet it’s only fluff that’s added around your RSS client, which is fine for some people, but has nothing to do with “bring RSS back”. It’s not dead for many people. But for those who don’t want to use it (and wrongly call it dead) GPT won’t bring it back.

It shouldn't affect anything. Just transfer them as-is to another DNS provider. The IPs the MX records are pointing to aren't changing
It isn't the 1990s anymore. The vast majority of comments on blogs will be spam, bots or, in the extreme rare case of an actual human reader, raving lunatics. The chance of an actual human being reading your blog and leaving a sincere comment in good faith is so low that you can safely assume it will never happen.
Our world has dramatically increased in living standards during the period of increasing global average temperatures.

All of the IPCC future scenarios - including their worst case outcomes - still project a world where living standards keep increasing.

To restate this: the economic and scientific consensus (as presented by the IPCC) is that our world will be better off in the future even in their worst scenarios. The claims about humans being unable to survive are not supported by science.
Doing nothing is an experiment we don't understand. We know the earth went through hundreds of warm and cold periods in the past, and those are just the ones we're very certain of.

Every action and inaction is a risk. You've got to have some faith that you have enough data and vision to react.

What are they misunderstanding?
I feel the same way, all the time. The more time I spend improving and tweaking a solution, the longer the list of remaining improvements I wish I could do.

That's why pieces I publish about my work usually contain a fairly long section about potential further improvements.
You can get a perfectly functional used iPhone that runs the current OS for under $200. One only has to spend a lot if one wants the latest and greatest.

I’ve always found this somewhat absurd. I get that big companies are complex and projects come and go, but it is SO bad.

I consider myself a decent SWE in the relevant domain, and after a certain amount of hours spent just trying to make some calls to Google Maps API from a non-colab python server without rolling my own interface around raw URLs, I just had to blame google a little bit. Of course, in the end there’s a beautiful dead-simple solution

I’m still surprised why Fi has not been dropped even with many customer support issues.
What’s your domain? Are you working on a mission critical system? Are you trying to solve an algorithmic problem that is novel enough to warrant a publication after you solve it? If not, I doubt estimating is innately infeasible. If your best-in-industry people can’t do it it’s because they probably haven’t valued it enough in their career to develop the particular skill set.

Well, there's at least 2 weeks notice. Unlocking to prepare for a transfer...
I remember trying it at PAX and was disappointed the effect didn't feel that strong to me either. I almost felt like something was broken or not calibrated since I could sense some 3D-ness, but it didn't jump out as truly 3D.

I agree that the controls (a wand?) didn't feel so natural.

I saw videos and followed the project a bit before finally trying it in person, so I felt let down a little.
You believe things will go better with cloudflare?
I think Reddit’s theory is that their user base is big and established enough that this dust-up is going to be forgotten soon enough.
If you spend your money on the "child-like" activities (fantasy, gaming, etc) as opposed to adult-like ones (huge suburban house, car, boat) you help preserve biodiversity and help other people as a side-effect.

Also - planting trees is largely pointless. Trees plant themselves if you leave land unused. If they don't that usually means you have to waste a lot of resources to maintain the trees that you planted in particular spot.

It's funny how the societal norms work.
Isn't it like ops 101 to never have your DNS hosted by the same people you registered your domain with (as if you are shut out of the DNS for any reason you will need access to the registrar to quickly migrate to a different provider, while, in the other direction, full registrar access isn't actually ops critical until you need to change your DNS hosting company)?
The current version of iOS still supports iPhone X, from 6 years ago. Who are these imaginary people you think want or need a 7+ year-old phone?

EasyDNS (easydns.com) has been good for us. They're also not one of the places that easily rolls over to fake legal notices, which reduces one potential stress vector as well.

I think I understand the perspective of shareholders. Reddit was valued $10B at last funding round. They would rather prefer the company to die with say 10% chance of becoming 5x, than drop the valuation to $1B which would be the case if current revenue continues.

So they are making changes, and it doesn't even matter if the changes are most likely very bad for the company. I don't think they are naive to think that reddit can't die and this action would not lead it to that path.
"compartmentalizing your life" used to just be called "having a little fucking privacy".
LEDs almost never have decoupling caps. I've literally never seen a design where there was more decoupling than the minimum necessary to stabilize the power supply's control loop
So, here's something I hate on this site. Arguments that are made in the fashion "People who disagree with me must not understand X". When in fact you're often talking to some of the smartest people in programming on here (though, maybe not in other things.)

It's possible to understand design patterns and work in a language that doesn't require them as much.

Here's a talk about it from 2009 with regards to python.

There is a half decent book "How Big Things Get Done" which goes into some detail on this. TLDR - yes.
Article criticizes an general named Fredenall, saying his lack of combat experience doomed him. He was basically a military MBA type.

> After service in the Philippines and other overseas and stateside assignments, Fredendall shipped out to the Western Front with the 28th Infantry Regiment in August 1917, four months after the American entry into World War I. He held a succession of instructor assignments in the army's schools in France, and commanded one of its training centers. He built a record as an excellent teacher, trainer, and administrator, and ended the war as a temporary lieutenant colonel.

This article says look at all these great wartime generals, they had in the trenches experience, and lists Eisenhower, saying this:

> Eisenhower was desperate to get into combat, but he finally made it to France only as the war was ending.

Eisenhower did not see combat, he trained troops, just like Fredenall. He was basically also a military MBA type.

Very similar backgrounds. So maybe the difference between them was... talent? It undermines the authors point rather than making it. Most of the American generals all went to West Point! They might as well be Ivy Leaguers!

The part about the 5 extremely successful tech execs not graduating it disingenuous. Look at the schools they did attend, even if they didn't graduate. They had connections. They had family money. Gates and Zuckerberg for sure. Ted Turner went to private schools and then Brown. Jobs, sure, one in a million. Maybe Ellison too. So that was also talent? Kind of a mess here.

Basically this article is terrible. You need talent, plus agency, funding, C-level support. Seems more like they're not actually letting talent do what it's supposed to do?
I knew without reading the article that 100% of the replies would be incredulous, offended Apple fanboys xd. HN is so predictable lol

What's actually incredible is how behind the times this website is - amazingly reactionary people who think they're unbelievably smart. It's literally like reading internet comments from 30 years ago

Damn. I didn’t know it was gone. That hits hard. Obviously I hadn’t been in a while, but back in the day chowhound made eating my way through Chicago such a blast. That’s really too bad. Thank god the home brew digest still lives.
This makes zero sense, you could previously buy a domain, email hosting, and a web host in a single shopping cart more or less.
This bites because there was a little-documented little integration between Google Domains and Gmail to allow you to use a custom domain for a personal Gmail address.
This is exactly what I am here looking for. I have 18 domains. 14 have mail forwarding, 2 have dedicated emails through Google workspaces and 2 are forwards to another domain. I’m not paying an extra 144$ a year for the domains PLUS whatever additional fees I’ll run into after this to follow this to Squarespace.

I know email forwarding isn’t the standard because Hover charges you 5$ per year per domain just for email forwarding. So frustrating.
> poorly proofread article (while actually expecting people to pay for it)

what's an example of an error that proofreading would have caught? And your comment uses "cherry picked" which needs a hyphen:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cherry-pick

"still wants to weasel out some image of being logical" isn't even good English.

As for "expecting people to pay for it" -- you didn't pay, did you? In fact, no one did. I don't have a paid subscription plan.
Why is the inference so sluggish?
I never really even thought about using Google domains, from the first time I heard of it I assumed it would last a few years and they would shut it down.
Which, with as many prohibition movements there've been against it in American history, has basically been the most pervasive use of one's free time the last 200+ years in the states
Interesting, I first used GCP maybe 7 years ago and really liked it. Two years ago I came back to it for a year and couldn’t put my finger on it, but it seemed quite a bit worse. I wasn’t sure if it was a case of rose tinted glasses.

Like you mentioned, the docs were really shoddy when I needed them. Certain conventions felt half baked compared to AWS, and I don’t even like AWS to begin with. Overall it seemed like the integration of services was much worse than AWS, though. Administration of different services is like visiting separate worlds at times, like the teams might not be on the same page regarding design and technical language. The other possibility is I’m just a little dumb and don’t pick up on the patterns — I’m pretty open to that.

It’s a shame, I wish there was a cloud provider that I actually liked and at one point, that was GCP.
Apologies for correcting you then! I’ll let them answer, but it seems there’s a fairly obvious one: the shareholders can sell their stock for more money than they paid for it. Or do other rich people liabilities-financial-instrument wizardry to take advantage of a bigger NW on paper. But could be off base!

If nothing else, sundar specifically gets huge bonuses based on the performance of GOOG - I think his 2y bonus this year was something ridiculous like $230,000,000.
They are more interested in affordable API access and third party apps than moderating and first party apps.

Not saying that's good or bad, just that it is.
> if you have enough information to accurately estimate a project then you've already done the bulk of the work

This is false. I’ve learnt 10s of new UX frameworks in my career and it takes about 20 hours from scratch to become proficient enough in one to design a new complex widget in it (say) — but knowing that doesn’t suddenly absolve me from spending those 20 hours.
Well, I guess this will lessen any future impact of potential "Google suspended my account and all our domains disappeared!" scenarios.

Squarespace acts as a reseller for Google Workspace (for customers who start out by using their domain for hosting with them and want to add email/etc), so they already had a relationship with Google. It makes sense that they would want to sell domains to their customers, but IDK why they would want to buy all the existing domains that likely are not in the market for their hosting service.
I miss Musical Instruments. That was fun to browse.
Ads are being dismantled by the EU, search by chatGPT, videos run on the same ads.

You only "pay" for as many template systems as you use, not one for every component, and modern template systems are far smaller than the major frameworks.
I don't know this specific example but I've been in many C-level discussions where similar things happen. There is rarely a belief that it will be temporary. There is usually a lot of confidence (even if misguided) that there will be sufficient follow through to quickly justify the addition.

In my experience people over-attribute to malice or cynicism what is usually just crossing the very thin line between entrepreneurial confidence and self-delusion.

Sure; but, we're talking about Squarespace specifically. Why are they problematic? And, how are they problematic for someone that decided Google was a trustworthy company to register their domains with, knowing their history to kill all of their products?
1. Reddit is a private company and if you don't like their practices then maybe you want to stop using their services.
2. There is nothing stopping people who don't care about this to create new and similar subreddit.
