Yes. FWIW, I learnt about this the hard way.

It isn't good and purely being on IPv6 is still a terrible web experience in any event. Huge % of major websites don't properly support IPv6 yet. It's ridiculous.

You can, but then you discover that places like Bangladesh and Cambodia, that do a fair bit of freelance work on the 'net use a surprisingly tiny number of IPv4 addresses to do it. For lots of these countries their total allocation of

It is part of a campaign based on the fact that Reddit doesn't run ads against NSFW content, so high user count subs can mark everything NSFW (whether it is or not) and hurt Reddit in their cashflow. For some of the subreddits this isn

Because when you start out you don't know you'll need petabytes of storage. Canva grew very quickly. I don't think it was a terrible call to use the cloud at the time.

Well, step 1, have petabytes of data in S3, then don't pay the sticker price. Step 2, write articles like this as part of your newly contracted "engagement" with Amazon to help justify the lower price.

I (through my own ignorance?) haven't had much appreciation for this bit of history, but I recently visited the fascinating Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp. https://museumplantinmoretus.be/ https://en.wiki

Metal futures have been traded on the London Metal Exchange since 1877, and before that at other venues on Threadneedle St. The Dutch (and after the idea had crossed the Channel, the English) were trading debt from the invention of exchang

Certainly it is hard to make it gel on the money side. From their frontpage: > If 550 of Miraheze's 300,000+ users gave only £12 (16.35 USD) once a year, Miraheze would exceed its budget requirements. So not for want of £6,600 &#x2F

It was the moderators' choice and it is reddit's fault.

is this correct? It doesn't sound right. It last raised money at $10B in 2021, but Fidelity, who led that round have since cut that valuation on their own books back to $6B. I would not be surprised if that is a conservative number. Th

I've seen this several times and just not really understood the end game. Surely they'll be pursued for the rent (plus costs) & evicted along the way. The landlords aren't individual employees he can just shit on and assu

A big part is that a lot of the internet isn't available to google anymore. Lots of good forums just have a robots.txt with "Disallow: /". Google can be a pain. People use DMCA in flagrantly illegal ways, etc, so lots of

Particularly on this issue, I think the mainstream consensus is what Central banks are doing in response to inflation. Are they wrong at least some of the time? Hell yeah.

Yeah, it isn't that mainstream though. I like his take on this and largely agree with him.

Of course there are serious people that also disagree with it (I'm pretty onboard fwiw). "Industries that raised prices more didn't tend to also make high profits": https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/sta

In the US, Director's have a fiduciary duty to the company, and in particular a duty of loyalty. The duty of loyalty largely means that you must act in the interests of the company and its shareholders- this is where I think most peopl

Interesting read, good to see information on it from the German perspective, as the phenomenon seems to be playing out in most of the West. Weber has been fair vocal about the directionality here: https://www.newyorker.com/n

Reddit also relies on thousands of hours a day worth of free moderation. If the moderation quality drops, then reddit will really go down hill.

While I think the Israelis have been more likely to be happy with this sort of state action, compared to many countries, I think one of the major reasons is that Israel is a massive hub for security companies and staff. Since the early succ

I came to recommend this, so glad to see your comment. I thought it was great, although I knew little more than that Montaigne was a philosopher before reading it. A really fascinating man.

I do this- I just tell my parents I have a lot of frequent flyer points (which I do), but then depending on the cost and availability of flights I book whatever is most convenient for me. It's generous, but not cash in your face.

Isn't this just a function of prompting? ie you can give it the style and voice you want the reply in before asking it to do something.
