Yeah but the worst thing about it was the timescale. Most of the 3rd party apps would have choked down the cost if they had the time to transition. Reddit's true intention was made plain by giving them just 30 days to do so, while also

They were charging by request. IIRC the $2.50 figure was arrived at by taking the total number of requests and dividing it by the total number of users.

As soon as something becomes it's own team or department cooperation dies and a war ignites over attention and resources. My experience has been that the places that treated development roles as cross-functional have been the most effi

Older people love to talk about how they bought a house working a minimum wage job or how the janitor became CEO of the company when neither are a reality due to their greed. Most young people are angry about the fact that their living and

What's not to get? Trump, Fox news, and a vanguard of the Republican party framed Coronavirus as a Chinese attack on the world in an attempt to boost their support. Why some people are willing to believe the nonsense spouted by both I

Flipping this on it's head: fully automatic coffee machines have existed for decades, as have conveyor belt ovens. Why hasn't Starbucks replaced its cashiers and baristas "easily" in that time? The answer is likely to be

Putting aside why Reddit's behaviour is objectionable. Reddit did this in a way that will cost them money and harm both their reputation and quality. Had they set out a reasonable timeline for the new prices, they would have had a new

The implication is they buy the app and do what they like with it. The alternative is that he has no choice but to shut down the app, given that they've announced what the price will be 30 days before it's introduction. Even if he

What makes this not just another tool to be abused by micromanagers? Not everything needs to be measured, and indeed, measuring some things can cause more harm than good, especially as the measurements are often devoid of any kind of contex

They often just don't justify the cost. The enclosures themselves are expensive, and there's a really rough performance hit, less than half the framerate of the same card connected via PCIe in some cases[0]. A decent gaming laptop

The alternative to Steam used to be limited use CD keys. Steam's not perfect but it's better than hoping you haven't re-installed the thing you paid for one too many times.

That's a much smaller proportion of people than are served by welfare programs, and as a group, they're often not able to access current programs due to mental health issues or lack of knowledge. Some initiatives still need to exi

Doing those things, as needed, for yourself or your immediate community is very different than performing the same task on a factory line for 70 hours a week so that a person you've never met can earn more than your yearly salary playi

Internationally, the US has burned, bombed, tortured, and assassinated the idea of equivalency out of existence. If the problem is the behaviour of social media companies in general, legislate against that. Take note that it's not the
