apps which are not easily monetised by reddit
I don't see a lot of difference between reddit apps and AI companies.
Why do you pretend that apps should make money off reddit data without paying for it? Just because they did in the past doesn't mean they have to keep doing it now that everyone has realized it's a valuable commodity.
Sam Altman is a board member of reddit
Well then, he's acting responsibly by not letting every other AI company have the data for free. I'm not impugning all mods. I appreciate their work. But some let the power go to their heads
Reddit has never made a lot of money. AI companies scrapped all their data for free which wasn't fair. So they start charging to support the site. I don't see how reddit owners are in the wrong here. But mods are behaving as expected, like petulant children.
The reddit mods are little tyrants in my experience. I hope the one's that think they own reddit get booted. Really, some of them are awful people. I wish I were trolling but I'm not. They can try to get their users to follow them somewhere else but it will fail because they are behaving unreasonably and breaking a site we all like, which has never been a big money maker. The mods belong in r/choosingbeggers for acting like it should be free
That was successful for the 80/90's and actually I mis-spoke, we sold a million and a million were estimated to be pirated
That's weird, I worked at home for 12 years in a small company. We wrote software that sold 2 million copies, but I guess it doesn't work
Could it be a trick of the brain?
A "magic" trick perhaps? One that can't be explained by anything we currently know about physics? The materialist point of view is becoming increasingly incoherent and I think that's what angers many of them.
I’m increasingly aware that it’s nothing magical
It's completely magical to me that I'm now aware that you think you awareness is nothing magical
The mind is like a calculating device
How does that explain your self-awareness?
I'm a grown up adult and if I wanted to block tracking I could. The fact that I don't should be the only answer needed but that's not good enough for the EU. They want to force companies to ask me because they want to take care of me and make sure I'm all right. You know, I left home at 18 to get away from my parents...
I'm suspicious of regulation until a good case is made for it. I'm suspicious of people whose world view is "we must regulate what others do" as their default position. I'm fine with regulation when there is a proven need for it.
I support your concern that I don't share, so why make me suffer? I tried the "I don't care about cookies" extension but it didn't work for me.
Good. Thanks to the EU I have to click "cookie question" every where I go. Thanks guys for wasting the limited time I have in life.
Now do men who work at home
Please don't shit post on Hacker News. We all need to make an effort to maintain the quality on this site and not turn it into Reddit
My point is an adult pretending to be a little girl is almost certainly a pedophile and I'm disappointed HN lets this go unchallenged
This is a deliberation on our experiences setting up a space that facilitates open and decentralized micro-movements.
To take note of complexity is to let go of efficiency. When we take into account the intersectionality of approaches, when we look into each nuance more deeply, it’s only then we realise how intricate the threads of reality are
This article must be for acedemics. I can't understand it, probably because I am not in an acedemic in that field
I had look up "wordcell" and found a fascinating definition that leads to "nerd traps", "abstraction ladder" and "theorycel" in regards to crypto
Paraphrasing: "No one appreciates the hard work that went into my medium blog, which I hope to monetize at some point, and to top it off, anonymous people leave mean comments"
Are you new to the internet?
(the author doesn't read comments so I'm in no danger of offending him)
Thanks. I've got a Mac enthusiast friend who says otherwise, but he's such a Mac fanatic (and a Gruber fan) that I don't trust his judgement
Yes, I forgot about price. The premium paid for Apple products isn't worth it to me
Mac enthusiasts just can't accept the fact that people prefer to buy Windows machines over Macs by a wide margin. I used to be one of them, but the closed hardware approach and the "we know best" attitude turned me off long ago.
That said, if I needed a super fast machine to do graphics or video, I'd look seriously at the new chips. I don't need such a machine.
When I was learning Rust, unwrap felt like cheating
Rust is a great solution to the memory safety problem, but is more difficult to use and slower to compile than some other languages. I'm wondering why I would use Rust for WebAssembly, which doesn't have memory safety issues?
We here in the US have apex predators in the Rocky Mountains (grizzlies, wolves) so I don't see how this is a blocking issue
Well yes of course. I'm envisioning a park with natural and human-made barriers to keep them in their area. We already manage large predators in the lower 48 states of the US by tracking and monitoring wolves and grizzlies. If it's a choice between polar bears going extinct at the North Pole and surviving comfortably at the South Pole, I'd choose the latter.
I think we should create a polar bear preserve in Antarctica in an isolated area away from penguins
People who cook could help in their own way. Hacker News is has people who could tell you about how to run a botnet hack, mount an effective DDOS or the appropriate type of crypto to donate and how to get it.
Nevermind, though. I'm just feeling helpless and want to do something. I need to think a little deeper about it.
I'm having fun trying out different memes you might have innocently used in casual conversation. That's pretty funny.
A more accurate title would be "You cannot police Covid misinformation in a fair, reproducible, and representative way" You can't because it's relatively new, still being researched and there are varieties of scientific opinion about various things. The debate is ongoing.
You can police Holocaust misinformation in a fair, reproducible and representitive way
This podcast "The Peter Thiel Paradox" [1] explained a lot about the mystery of Peter Thiel to me. Turns out that there is less than meets the eye but he does have a specific talent for manipulating the political systems and government coffers to enrich himself, much like Richard Branson, or so the British podcast claims.

One nitpick; Theil said "We were promised flying cars and call we got was 140 characters" not "We were promised bases on the moon and all we got was Facebook"
Link claims Buzz Aldrin said "You Promised Me Mars Colonies. Instead, I Got Facebook."
