Windows? didn't expect that

Hmmm this seems bad

That code is bad for several reasons including not catching+handling exceptions (and possibly retrying), and accessing the JSON properties w/o get()

The overhead of re-installing stuff and setting up a header seem very unnecessary to run a simple script

If this is about sending some Python for somebody else to run easily - the recipient should always check the code. You should never run arbitrary code. For example, there have been hacks performed using YAML loader (crypto exchange).

For dependencies, use the standard pyproject.toml

The NY Times got hold of an internal document stating revenue was down 59% YoY.

I'd link to it but it's behind a paywall.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Django is not a web server. It's a framework used in conjunction with an app server e.g. gunicorn and a web server e.g. nginx

Did you read the article and comments? The comments point out a lot of issues with the article. Sadly, I've seen this article referenced before on other discussions.

Facebook transpiled it before using the HHVM.

I disagree on the 'lying about the Apollo dev'. The Apollo dev definitely said 'I can make it real easy for you', 'Apollo can quiet down' 'you cut me a check for $10m' then he tried to backtrack when pushed on clarification for a 3rd time. Yes - there was an apology by the Reddit rep as far as misinterpreting but he did say what he was accused of saying.

Spinning it to the dev saying he was referring to Apollo as a "noisy API user" was really suspect, imo. I've never heard a heavy API user being called "noisy" and why even mention a number for a buy out multiple times? The "mostly joking" was a cop out as well. Is it a joke or not? Because when he was asked for clarification, he clarified $10m and 6 months again.

That would make some communities public that had nothing to do with this protest

Forums still rule for discourse content for some subjects. Some of them are basically grand-fathered in because Google will surface them and their communities started before Reddit. Guitar gear is one of those. There are still half a dozen forums that provide way better discourse than Reddit. I imagine a big part of that is because the users are an older age group.

Google SEO. The first thing people often do is search for something on Google. The first result(s) are often Reddit

End-users lose too. There's a lot of information that is now harder to find (assuming it's cached by a 3rd party) or not reachable at all.

Yes. You don't believe BTC was ever used directly between two parties for a sale of goods/services?

so sick that you had to click and participate in the conversation

What law of physics or probability prevents a comment from consistently getting downvoted due to a disagreement in opinion?

'heavily linked' is a subjective phrase. It cannot be a 'fact'. Is the Internet 'heavily linked', 'lightly linked', or just 'linked' to scams? Your research would be appreciated.

how did you calculate 'most'? Marketshare? Daily volume? Number of projects? Pulled out of thin air?

What do you think the Lightning Network provides over the main net as far as getting around sanctions?

I have money in crypto, but don't think I'm rich. Why try to generalize large groups of people?

Lot of assumptions and leaps here. Besides generalizing a group of crypto owners, you are assuming regulation would devalue crypto. Has there been less or more regulation around crypto in the past 10 years? and how has the value of BTC, Ether fared during the past 10 years?

"entirely rational" is subjective, how can it be a fact?

where are you getting this '99%' figure?

"massive" is a subjective term. That statement cannot be a 'fact'. Besides, you could apply the same sentiment, as it relates to 'fraud' and 'room for crime', to the Internet in general.
