Short term? Reddit hasn't made a penny in 15 years.

This is an internet ecosystem issue that is simplified to thoughtless bashing of supposedly evil companies. Yes, these actions are clumsy and user-hostile but consider the big picture. We have companies like Reddit and Stackoverflow not bei

It's worse. Even in case users did care about decentralization, such solutions are less reliable, not more. Subjective moderation, rule changes, rug pulls.

So Apple can tell how you bio-physically respond to dynamic input. No worries though, we'll show a blend of an Apple logo and lock, which means all is fine. Go back to sleep, but we'll let you know if it was a proper sleep.

You think extraterrestrial life is impressed with ad tech? If anything, they'd land in Veldhoven.

I'll come clean and admit that as it comes to watching movies, I'm anti-social. I do not want to discuss the movie whilst watching it, at all. Lighter content like the news, a talk show, things like that...sure.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only that has used iOS for 10 years now but don't actually use it. As in, less than 1% of it. I read about new features all the time but none sticks.

I think one telling section of the presentation is the very speedy run-through of a few 3rd party apps for this platform. They all looked crappy, quick and superficial pseudo-3D versions of existing 2D apps. Which is a problem on all VR pla

I must be old-fashioned or even anti-social, but what exactly is the point of watching a movie together remotely? Does it become some kind of group debate that constantly interrupts the movie?

I think the issue here is that whilst your site may have utility, it has zero original/unique content. To Google, this looks like a link farm. You might argue that your discount price is "unique content" but good luck getting

I think it's a sign of the times, also replicated outside of reddit, for example Mastodon. I enjoyed a solid 20 years of online discourse that was overall reasonable, and most of it not very political. Now everything is highly politici

If you consider paying less an income, then all of our consumption culture would be income, as its all artificially boosted with cheap money.

Even though the main character of the universe, you, has consumed real vanilla, the point stands. Almost everything labeled "vanilla" does not actually contain real vanilla.

You're making so many incoherent disconnected points that I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say.

Taxing debt, the opposite of income, for sure is "innovative".

You're right. Housing costs can never really drop steeply because you depend on sellers. Most don't need to sell so they will just sit it out and wait for better times. The second effect is as you say, builders simply stop buildin

Always funny to see SV people not understanding SV, thinking the rest of the world is underpaid. SV is an planetary anomaly. Hundreds of billions (if not more) of capital free to invest in highly risky undertakings. That's why you earn

I think the ballooning of the UX field is a sign of prolonged good times where the question "does it make money?" is all but forgotten. Live in these times long enough and it becomes second nature to believe that your profession i

I will up you. Using the word "vanilla" to refer to anything neutral, default, or basic is wrong. Vanilla is a sophisticated flavor, not to mention a precious and expensive ingredient. Most people have never consumed real vanilla

This is what happens when you people are too young to have seen the Rocky movies. Rocky doesn't need an expensive bike + subscription. He uses his body and public parks to grind himself into fitness. Cost: zero. Fitness outcome: tons b

The capital class isn't a single conspiring entity. When you get fired from Facebook and then try to save money by canceling Netflix, then Netflix isn't going to be very happy about that, whilst they very much are capitalist. Most

Don't know about the FED but the ECB has openly stated that they will keep raising rates as long as necessary to get inflation back to ~2%. It doesn't seem to be working, for very obvious reasons: demand for energy and food (main

The twisted thing is that this is the plan, it's intentional. The rapid rise of interest rates is to curve demand, which tames inflation. It's a really nice word for what is effectively targeted economic destruction. Job losses a

The word "companies" is doing a lot of work in your rant. The vast majority of websites on the internet do not have a team behind them. That's exactly the reason why they lack maintenance. So they're not intimidating wel

Earlier this week there was a shareholders meeting at Shell. They'll continue to heavily invest in fossil fuel exploitation including finding new wells. No sense of urgency or even the slightest hint of a correction. As expected, activ

My take is that advanced civilization isn't an evolutionary inevitability nor is it of any objectively higher value or importance. Imagine a planet with just grass. One species. It's thriving. Highly successful. Who needs "in

I haven't yet, but it's in my future. It's not realistic for me to retire early and I suspect I will be obsolete in the tech industry long before the age of 70. My plan is to work on lowering my living expenses to the point t

Pay me or I will harm you is extortion, as simple as that. There's an entire industry now of people that check known vulnerabilities (so they don't invent anything themselves) in software/packages and cross check this against

Rationally, this move makes sense, but Netflix is dealing with the legacy of peaking early. It started with a low price and deep catalog. The very popularity of Netflix is almost entirely based on that steal of a deal. The cable breaker. Pe
