Adobe's actually done investors a favour and made a realistic enterprise valuation of the company for everyone. If it's worth $20bn to them then it's not likely to float for $5bn. They clearly think there's value there o

I wonder if Adobe will respond by saying the UK isnt a good place to invest in as well.

You also see it with certain companies that have a very active presence on HN. Any negative comment is downvoted aggressively. Downvoting on HN is rather uncommon, people tend to tell you why they disagree with you rather than vote you down

I remember that cringe commercial Apple made where the girl asks "what's a computer?".

A cyber ransom demand at one of the most important companies in the world, a lynchpin of digital manufacturing is not reassuring at all. Can their security really be that bad?

That's a paltry amount, why would they need to raise so little, don't they have the cash flow to cover it? I guess VCs arent in the mood to be so generous with their money anymore with the competition for capital so intense. We&#x

I've never heard the argument that AI art is immoral. I know it scares of lot of people because it's going leave them with less work. But that's just what technology does, kills some industries and gives birth to new ones. It

Its gone past the point where people can just brush it off as the rantings of a crank. Congress are troubled about it. If there are organisations gathering alien tech without oversite and covertly, then imagine what they could do with it if

Absolutely hideous structures. Not the sort of the place the vast majority of the human race would want to live.

Doesn't mean it's bad, it might just mean other steering systems are massively over engineered and expensive.

>delightful Im seeing a lot of startups using this word, why?? It sounds silly, like you're selling me a childrens toy? You're not delightful, its not a 50's musical number. Its just the word dejour.

So they just expelled one of the people that helped make Reddit what it is today? No loyalty at all is there.

The good thing about the Japanese when it comes to foreigners speaking their language is that they have patience and don't mind you making mistakes, they've also got a good sense of humour so they'll find it more funny than o

You can get by in Tokyo without knowing much Japanese, but the real joy of traveling to Japan is experiencing the culture and you can do that best by learning the language. It isn't easy though and that can be off putting, but learn a

I think lemmy can work for if you want to move your sub across, it may never replace the monolithic reddit but its an adequate replacement for people that want to discuss a specific topic. It can work as an ok substitute.

Its great to hear of someone of your age starting an online business like this. Its a real inspiration to a lot of us older people here to keep believing that that we can do this as well, or that we're not barred from participating in

Yeah, you're right about Secret Santa, that was such a cross sub community activity. It was really petty of them to get rid of it but it was foretaste of what was to come and their attitude towawrds the community spirt of Reddit.

The fashions in the last 30 years have been remarkably static, the only real way of telling the year was the hair.

Reading how the judge at his trial threw out the case because he was offered the role of fbi director by the Nixon administration to sway his mind makes me think how impossible it would be for a whistle blower to receive the same treatment

I know a lot of users are nuking their accounts and deleting everything, I really hope spez and the gang aren't restoring them from backups to sell to their new LLM overlords. That would be very very unwise considering GDPR

Reading one of the threads about it someone lamented that "the old relationship on Reddit is dead now". It really did feel like a unique relationship between the users and management for a long time. But that much money can corrup

It's not a and never has been a traditional company. Lots of people have said it should be a trust like Wikipedia. It was was always a republic in a world full of Kingdoms.

The whole reason to Google Reddit results is for independent enthusiast opinions positive and especially negative. Corporatised subs are going to kill that dead for many things. Another nail in the coffin of Reddit. Love of money truly is t

They made their intentions clear with the pricing change, they want third party apps dead. Why carry on making or supporting them with the shadow of the noose falling on you?

This makes good sense sadly. I suspect even fan run alternative subs will be banned out of existence for spurious reasons. It's the 80:20 principle, as long as they can keep the big subs that drive the traffic open they won't care

It's sounds like was on an obsure-ish sub as well so management may have automated the process. Looks like they may have gone full Elon in their quest for the billionaire bucks.

If Reddit is such a valuable property it would make sense for one of the big AI players to come in and buy it out before it IPOs and the value shoots through the roof. Open Ai is the most likely one given the links between Altman and the ma
