Up until about 2010, this was basic user knowledge. That's like asking 'what's a web browser' which, ironically, in 1995 more people would have known what a drive was than a web browser.

Red Hat currently releases all sources as if they were GPL sources, but that may stop in the future. EG, an Apache 2 licensed project, they're under no obligation to release the source, but they currently choose to. That will be the n

For just about any commercial or residential building, the only suitable (IMO) use for graywater would be toilets, and it's not particularly suitable for toilets with a tank, so that rules out just about all residential. The article al

The creditors are people's 401k's. The debt that gets issued is sold off to 'fund managers' that help enrich their friends. Until there's a law passed preventing retirement plans from forcing you into only a handf

The Apollo guy is a real head scratcher. He probably could have charged $10/month to more than cover his costs, and had 10's of thousands of paying subscribers. Or, you know, implement a caching layer.

I'm confident an AI can be utilized for 'remove duplicate content' type of operation. AMAs don't require a mod to participate, just the community. All mods really do is sticky a thread. People deceptively promoting thei

The quality on the popular subs is the equivalent of spam to me, so I don't think most of their users would be able to tell the difference.

Don't worry, the banks figured out how to solve this problem decades ago, they're called CBOs: https://thebusinessprofessor.com/en_US/investments-trading-f... Basically, you take a bunch of junk, package it u

I think the vast majority of Reddit's userbase, normies, won't know the difference and won't care. It will literally be an invisible change.

I'm sure they have metrics at this point on how often real humans take a particular action. If an account is reporting posts higher than some amount X, then shadow ban that account.

It seems to me a very trivial problem to classify a post as on topic or not with today's AI capabilities.

I think you underestimate the ability of AI to literally solve this problem for almost nothing. The large subs can absolutely be automated moderation, if they're not already. Enough flags on a post? Just take it down, there will be

If the banks have sold the debt, they don't care if it's paid or not, they're already paid.

The problem lies in where the money comes from the execute taking the company private. A big bank will issue the debt, then peddle the debt as AAA rated into all of America's 401k's via their friends at the brokerages. You think

IMO, the API terms look like they're written by a teenager, and you can do just about whatever you want. They admit the content is owned by the users, so not sure what they could actually enforce other than disallowing you to use thei

Backpage is the more relevant example, at least in the US IMO. But, no as much drugs as the 'adult services.' I don't think they were publicly traded, either.

I don't think I'd characterize some of those things as lying. Setting up a development environment is no different than setting up other kinds of software: you obtain the software, and follow instructions to get it up and running

Well, not really. When they decided to file the S-1, they were likely in a very different business model, and the underlying cryptos (for the most part) were very much non-scams (as far as that can be applied to cryptos). It would be like

There are separate terms for the API, which seem to indicate to me it's legal to use their API to download user content: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/api-terms According to these terms, the content is owned by the

I think this article is rather long-winded and not super informative. The previous post [1] lays out what one should actually do, and I agree with most of it, at least from a developer perspective. 1: https://www.bitecode.dev&#x

For an actual HDD, maybe that would work. For any solid state drive, it would definitely not work. SSDs and similar spread writes across pools of blocks for 'endurance', so a 1TB drive might actually have 2TB worth of flash on i

Coinbase's opinion on the matter is pretty irrelevant to determining what is and isn't a security. The fact that they tried to get the SEC to tell them what they were doing was or wasn't allowed (never mind the fact the SEC

They're comparing a small engine to a 25HP diesel engine. A 25HP diesel is what powers my tractor, they're really not in the same class as a small 25HP gasoline engine that powers my lawnmower. If we're comparing the usefuln
