The problem may be we'll within the FBI domain but their resolution crosses some boundaries that are meant to be protected. To pull this off the FBI would need to use a general warrant rather than a specific warrant as required by law.

In your examples none of them invole solving problems that you would not be unaware of, in ways that you're not aware of without telling you they were there and oh btw they had to rifle through your undwrware drawer to fix it.

I can only take it the aybyou wrote it regardless of the intent.

The 3xperi3nce and mentorship are obviously important to your success but it's popular for people to try and rely solely on those because it is less effort than learning the mechanics of the subject and often allows people to place rhe blame for their failures on others.

If you want to master something you need both the academics and the experience. Either of them alone leaves you at a disadvantage.

This is pretty vapid advice. Setting aside the absurdity of the idea that you need to decide whether you can like a type of work before you're capable of doing it you've not answered OP's question to any degree.

If you have any experience with the field that allows you to answer OP's question please offer that rather than this feel good nonsense.

This theory and academic prep that you dismiss is actually pretty damned important. It lays the foundation upon which the experience becomes valuable. What you've suggested is taking the lazy way out on the premise that you don't really need to understand any of it as long as you can muddle through doing enough of it. It is not very good advice.

I do agree that experience is important but experience on top of knowledge is much more valuable.

"Competitors can only grow so fast, infrastructure takes time to scale, communities take time to organize and build"

Are you using an IT structure from the 1990's? Are you funding it using mail in contributions?

If not the only restriction on how fast a platform can grow is entirely down to how fast it can draw attention and acceptance from the masses.

If I'm being honest here these other platforms are a significantly smaller threat to reddit than reddit is. The way the platform reward low value posts and punish any dissenting opinions in discussion threads does more damage to their brands than any wpuld be competitor.

I think you miss the point. Shorts aren't really suited to the desktop yet they're crammed in there. The format isn't really suited to YouTube in general. If they really wanted to compete with tiktok they'd spin shorts off to a separate app and tune their algorithm to those users without continuing to make YouTube worse while pandering to shorts.

Yes, let's focus on content for the ADHD crowd. Let's create a situation where videos crop out relevant bits and end mid sentence. Let's incentize channels to post videos that end before the payoff promised in the title and let them end with vapid promises that it will be in a part two that doesn't and will never exist.

YouTube and YouTube shorts should be two separate apps/sites sevibg two distinct types of content not one where shorts in crammed into a format it isn't suited for.

The same effects took place in mobile phones. They removed physical and capacitive buttons then promoted the new looks as sleek minimalism while reducing cost and rasing prices.

The difference that you're hinting at though is called human factors in design. For a mobile phone the all touch model is workable. In cars it ignores the key needs like safety and consistency which are different from phones.

I watched some talking heads discussing this earlier this morning. The analyst they had on said "we all know that the internet needs more moderation". All I could think was, do we really know that?

They claimed the only reason we haven't 'solved' that problem yet is that there hasn't been a good alternative proposed which wouldn't break the internet.

I find all of this just absurd. Their stated claims amount to saying they want to make the internet safe from people...

"I think asking a mainstream cloud storage provider to host malware--for whatever purpose--is a tough ask"

With the aggressive way onedrive has evolved it is harder to keep your files off there rather than having to ask them to store files on there. They simply take them and continually obfuscate the routes to disabling onedrive.

After a recent windows update knedrive completely hosed several of my folders. Not because they contained mallard but because onedrive decided it was better to move my files to the cloud rather than keeping them on my drove where they belonged. Trying to recover the files. Remove them from one drive and disable the service again was much more involved than it should have been.

I'd say more complexity has been added for the sake of perceived safety and convenience. Sure a lot of complexity was added for efficiency but there no reason the entire car down to the turn signals needs to operate on a databus with a single point of failure who's replacement averages 10% of the price of the car.

So, your solution is omnipresent tracking and retribution?

The source of information is important which is just one of the many reasons why sites like reddit are poorly suited to be used as a reference.

I find the notion that Reddit is being used as a search engine abhorrent.

Reddit is a showcase of the worst tendencies on the internet. It is mismanaged by the company as well as the users ruling their fifedoms and emphasizes popularity of opnion over the reality of fact.
