We're just about to appoint an outside analyst looking at our technology stack and processes over the next few months to make recommendations on how we can improve things. This too is a volunteer, but someone with both FAANG and Media

I’m hoping that when we finally get to the bottom of this mystery, we’ll find out that Aleister Crowley had it slipped into Monotype for magickal reasons.

These are problems that all small nonprofits face. I would love to pay people, but even having a commercial model doesn’t mean you escape questions about funding and staffing.

Right now I am US based, and I'm thinking of incorporating in the US. Not because of any preference for the venue, but because of our limited resources and volunteer distribution. Honestly I'd prefer Canada, but as I am 2000 km

Yeah, it was a joke. That I backed off of right away. All I could think was that I'd like at least one voice who wasn't saying doom and gloom about everything near the top, so that we could possibly save things. Right now Mirah

No communication is standard operating procedure right now. Volunteers found out this decision at the same time as everyone else, which meant no one had time to prepare. We need to better communicate our plans and goals, and of course about

I formerly did both, and currently hold no position with Miraheze Limited. I updated the post to make this more clear.

As the former CFO and a former SRE for Miraheze, I'm going to try to save the farm. I was uninvolved in the current problems, and at first was wondering what was going on so as to save my own wikis. The fundamentals at Miraheze are muc

If you look at what the Romans in the context of their own time, it looks much different. Citizenship was an open class, unlike most everyone in the Mediterranean. Slaves actually had rights. Conquered peoples were able to earn tributes in

Knowing fully what happened to Rome, if it’s even possible, would have been limited to the educated class. Stories would still have come out of the peasant class, whose folk memory of Rome couldn’t match what the clergy had. Eventually we d

How is the carbon bound in the concrete? I doubt CO2 bubbles would last very long, so is it just forming carbonates?

Right now, 100% of my usage is old.reddit.com and 0% of my usage is on the new design. These numbers won’t change if they remove old reddit — I’ll just stop using the site.

No that’s just reality. If you give the user exactly what they asked for, you shipped a bad product.

I signed up for Reddit last year, finally. I’m a happy user of old.reddit.com. And if it goes, I go. I survived a decade without an account, and it would be easy enough to go back that way. My opinion is not that important to share.

Are you sure you bought the air conditioner, or just a perpetual license to use it? Check the EULA, and you may find you have a license to cool.

I’m not sure how globalizing the corruption and questionable accounting practices of carbon credits worldwide will actually help matters.

Crypto is also good as a form of market speculation and to make gaming GPUs too expensive for gamers. Don’t sell it short!

At my community college, the third semester of a three semester general physics course needed a new textbook, even though it covered substantially the same material. The prof explained why: his friends wrote this book. He was the only profe

Nah, wind and solar are much cheaper, they just aren’t great for providing base load, without some other storage. Nuclear is very good at base load but makes a bad peaker (and is expensive). Gas is also “cheaper” when you ignore externaliti

The checkerboard makes sense in the 19th century context. Railroads were funded by land speculators, but the government doesn’t want to give them all the best land. Since public/private is a binary distinction, they halftoned the land,
