I have been banned from subreddits for comments like that. The equivalent of "I don't think censoring GTA V is a good idea". Seriously. Maybe the mods thought it was a bot account? Maybe they just disagreed with me. Maybe my

I've had long and thoughtful posts censored. Yeah it sucks. It makes you not want to help people, at least on Reddit. Why would I spend my valuable time helping someone out when it might just get deleted by a 16-year-old modding a subr

Kind of like OpenStreetMap's community. I would guess the same can be said for anything like there where it's a free, open, global, community-led effort. There will always be a hard-core niche of people who live and breathe the th

I believe it. That really sounds typical of Reddit.

I don't mean to brush Reddit with broad strokes, but I have to insist mine is a common experience. It is almost certainly true that if you stick to a few "sophisticated" subreddits and comment conservatively (both in frequenc

It’s incredibly frustrating when you take the time to write something out- something that benefits others and does nothing for you, like sharing your experience or knowledge- only to have the comment removed for one bullshit reason or anoth

It's a question of semantics I suppose. So to me, it was a bold assumption on Disney's part to assume, regardless of what the data/research/surveys told them, that A) there were enough people on the planet who would trav

Before it was the "Big Four" it was the "Big Five". Look into what happened to that fifth one... (Arthur Andersen re:Enron) It's worth noting that while we got the Sarbanes-Oxley Act out of it, it was more or less r

When have publicly-traded companies ever done anything wrong? Enron (2001): Enron Corporation, an energy company based in Houston, Texas, infamously collapsed in 2001 due to one of the most notorious cases of corporate fraud in history. Thr

Things like this seem "unlikely until they actually happen", then hindsight is 20/20. Enron was a public company with genuine audits, and many people were surprised it was a giant pump and dump scam. Enron (2001): Enron Corpo

The same thing will happen to Coinbase. Just look at the backgrounds of their CXOs. None are qualified to be leading such a large company IMO. I bet my life the same shit is going on over there.

There are MANY examples of The Walt Disney Company making poor decisions. The most recent one would have to be the "Star Wars Hotel" that cost $1,200/night PER PERSON. In what world can enough Americans afford to fill up a ho

Just to put this into perspective a little… due to hurricane risk, ALL the big boys (Allstate, State Farm, et. Al.) refuse to offer homeowners insurance in the entire state of Florida. The reason this is kind of bullshit is because there ar

I don’t think it was “chosen very carefully”- the other word is “public”, and it refers mainly to who has access to the repo. Public and private are the ideal words imo

I don’t mind Reddit committing suicide because the volunteer moderation system is absolute, total, complete garbage. There are subreddits where mods have programmed any DMs to be reported to Reddit, that’s how unpopular they are, yet they c

70GB of RAM would cost around $150 these days depending on how you get there. 64GB (2x32GB) of DDR4 is around $140 then another 8GB stick would be around $15. Used DDR3 ECC would be roughly half that.

Back when I was looking at Lenovo (ThinkPad) laptops a couple of years ago, I was disappointed that I couldn’t get a ThinkPad that had a “better than 1080p display”, upgradable RAM, Thunderbolt, AMD CPU, and cellular connectivity. I guess t

Considering dial-up was typically ~48-56kbps, I would say I was underestimating how much bandwidth LoRa can handle ;) I guess the main issue with both Helium and Sidewalk is that anyone who hosts their own LoRa radio probably isn't usi

I hadn't heard of Sidewalk so I had to do some research. It sounds like a better Helium network. I mean you're right, getting a Helium hotspot is difficult and you can't just use any old LoRa radio, it needs to be one whiteli

I think we should be skeptical of such articles especially when they go against what probably most articles say about a topic/hypothesis. I don’t know enough about chemistry or dentistry to really say beyond that which side is the corr

When I was at Allstate around 10 years ago most of the devs were in India (through Infosys I believe). They were actually worse than intern devs still in college. Most of my time was spent fixing bugs they introduced into the codebase (the
