It would certainly change usage patterns. And there are enough popular subreddits who didn't go in on the outage, so there's content to be had. The adage "there's no such thing as bad press" could definitely apply,

Too easy to shut down, since there's a finite number of mod enabled accounts.

I imagine a previously not-stress-tested component that has to do with searches/fetches with private subreddits went kaboom. Not too much of a stretch, IMO. A fantastic Schadenfreude generator, regardless.

I think the admins will care more about the appearance of "business as usual" in the face of an IPO than the opinions of the users who would notice a moderator replacement. In their eyes, this is all nothing more than a tempest in

I personally believe they will wait to see which ones remain shuttered. 48 hours is not very long to wait to maintain your free civilian labor. After that, they'll definitely reclaim the shuttered subreddits with new moderators.

I'm not going to argue with the creed or the idea. I'm just going to note that replacing your phone, as per their page, replaces one brick of glass with: - Pen & Paper - Flashlight - MP3 Player - Camera - Watch - Paper /

It's a cat/dog/animal thing. At least that's where I see "smol" used the most, in relation to kittens and puppies and other newborn animals. And it's been brewing there for a few years now, and the word&#x

If we as a society have changed nothing in response to new knowledge, have we really learned anything? I'd agree with the parent that no, we haven't.

Their entire lives have been lived with little privacy. Cameras are just a part of their everyday lives - in and outside of the home. Many have had their entire adolescence recorded and displayed as their parents trophies. And that doesn’t

So does a bus driver. Or a pilot. Or an engineer. And we hold them responsible for the humans in their care.

Adequate to many is “Kills fewer people than the average human driver.” And yet, the average driver kills 0 people. It’s in the far margins where deaths occur - a fraction of a fraction of a percent. This is in comparison to the arguably si

As I understand it, the rubber being is forced into the shape of a dome via air pressure, which makes one side a bit bigger than the other. The electrostatic charge on the opposing faces when one is bigger than the other would cause it to f

It's my belief that the underpinning design principles have not been lost - cathedrals are quite well studied by architects as I understand it. So, while some of the specifics are probably having to be identified and re-implemented, th

I've seen some videos on TikTok by stonemasons who are re-building the decorative shapes in chunks of marble; it's very cool to watch and see them doing it. It's probably not even remotely economic or "productive",

That's not how I read it. The "and" is attaching a caveat that the (link|headline|content) has been shown to someone from California; it's restricting the scope of the law to California. In other words, they type of cont

The part that gets me is that just linking to a news source is enough to trigger the payments. If the trigger was displaying content from the news source's articles, that would be one thing. But just linking to a news source? That&#x

Aspirational goal setting by Blizz execs?

I'm fine with that. My beef is with trying to take Blizzard out of it entirely.

Making a distinction between "Activision" and "Blizzard" is a distraction. It's "Activision Blizzard". Has been legally for 15 years, and in practice for at least 5 years now. It doesn't matter if it&

And let's not forget the Cosby room - a room dedicated to rape and sexual assault of female employees by ActiBlizz leadership. You might argue that "those" folks are gone, yet apparently their culture has not really changed.

Thank you for reminding me, Bobby, why I will never buy ActiBliz games again. Making addictive games rife with microtransactions is no reason to overlook the rest of ActiBliz' history.

Ironically enough, I've picked up some adapters so I can use regular watch bands with my Apple Watch. There are just more options (that I like) using regular watch bands, and most decent (i.e. >= $20) watch bands now use quick relea

Let's turn this around a bit - what have you done that you feel proud of? Use that to identify what you want to be next. And in the mean time, they're paying you because it's work. It's an exchange - so just treat it as

My point is that going above 0 exposes you to extremes, especially the further north you go. Risk management is important.

In clear conditions on well traveled roads, nah. But I also just watched a video where a bridge closure turned a 7 minute drive into a 4.5 hour drive one way. And I’ve been stuck behind a winter road closure that lasted several hours (after
