Such an interesting bubble of time. JavaScript, CSS and the ability to modify the DOM… but no AJAX requests. I remember using iframes to load remote content. What a mess.

FWIW I do this with a TCL Roku TV and it’s fine. Not great, I still see the Roku interface for ~2secs on startup but otherwise it’s out of my way.

I disagree, I think the new layout and the app are bad for Reddit power users. But for someone brand new to Reddit today they work fine. And that’s the point. They care about boosting their user base, not satisfying power users.

Honestly your best bet is going to be buying a mini PC and hooking it up to any TV of your choice as the only input. Most bespoke hardware is too locked down to make anything like that possible.

I can't find the link now but I read an interesting article recently interviewing athletes. They get so much abuse in their Instagram direct messages ("you messed up my parlay! I'm coming for you!")... I don't mean

Broadly speaking I'm a "whatever goes" kind of person. Don't regulate too much, let people do what they want. But this recent rise in gambling is making me feel like a censorious pastor or something. It's so obvious

Yes but they’re also shifting the problem from one they explicitly have to deal with themselves to one the framework handles for them. Personally I don’t like it but I do understand the appeal.

When I became a parent I was really surprised at how much crap Disney puts out. My previous exposure had just been their blockbuster movies which showed a close attention to detail. But you scratch under the surface and it's an endless

Yes, that's what makes Disney investing in OpenAI as part of this so confusing to me. Sign a licensing deal that means OpenAI pays you every time someone uses your character? Absolutely. Who cares if they're burning cash, as long

I think OpenAI having the best model still isn't enough. The AI marketplace isn't really in a race to the top, it's in a race to the mass market middle. If Gemini is good enough for the majority of people to complete the ma

Because they didn't get any money from the daycare and they will get money from OpenAI when you make your Sora video. That's all there is to it.

All the more reason it's insane for Disney to be the one giving money!

> not pushing your content Why are you conflating "not pushing" with "actively censoring"?

This is the incredibly profitable contradiction Facebook lives in. They do everything they can to become the central place for online communication and profit enormously from that. But they reject any of the responsibility that ought to com

But if your neighbour actively and deliberately makes your life worse then they certainly could be your enemy. If I’m queer and Facebook is actively censoring queer content then that’s more significant to me than just being a difference of

It’s all about separation. One person makes a “decision making framework” but doesn’t make any individual decision themselves. Then another person makes the individual decision, but based on the decision making framework, so they feel no pe

Tables aren’t dead, they never were… when displaying tabular data. When it comes to layout I think you might be wearing rose tinted glasses. Remember having to put a 1px image in a table cell to avoid it disappearing? Remember “best viewed

This debate has been done to death. And it's always, always a vague group of people who are apparently affected. Never specific examples. And, as we see here, there's always an appeal to class warfare: "it's hurting th

I dunno, I think there's a hard stop at "having a functioning public transit system". I could imagine DC implementing a congestion charge. Nashville less so.

I think this comment is a great example of what the OP is talking about. Your comment is completely divorced from the context of congestion pricing in New York City . For example: > Taking a basic task like driving into the city, someth

Tradesmen pass the charge onto their customers. Commuters already have to pay huge parking fees, by comparison the congestion charge is small change.

Columbia is over 40 blocks north of the congestion zone. You’d be able to do the exact same thing today.

I didn’t say every objection was disingenuous, just that there was an incredible number of objections that were.
