Is "profit motive" that different than "survival motive"?

These platforms need money to survive. Automattic, the latest owner of Tumblr wrote a great post on all the things they've tried and how Tumblr is still losing $20MM a year IIRC.

Off-topic, but I see you always responding very quickly whenever Sourcegraph is mentioned.

I was entertained a while back when I saw you getting accused for using sockpuppets, but am I correct in thinking that you're probably just using the API to monitor for name mentions?

Edit: To be clear, I think this is great and that more companies should do this.

This is awesome. In Canada, GO transit is also capped per day. Unfortunately for me, that cap was something like $20/day when I was really using it frequently.

And yet, worth $3.5B.

Crazy.

Do you have something to say about this? I'm confused, why did I read this wikipedia page?

Is the audio in this video autogenerated? It's a great idea for a YouTube channel, and something I'd like to watch, but the intonation is unbearable.

Yup

This is really so obvious that it doesn't merit a discussion.

Yes, it is US dollars.

Why should you assume $ refers to USD?

Because the US is the global superpower. Trade and banking reserves overwhelmingly use USD.

No other currency, and certainly none that use the $ symbol, even come remotely close to the USD.

I thought this was AI generated too, but then looking at their comment history, they claim to be from Ethopia at least twice, the most recent time 8 months ago.

Why can't it?

The pandemic made a significant positive impact on the environment.

If LLMs can replace certain lines of work (eliminating commutes!), reduce demand for certain consumer goods, and spread the demand for power throughout the day, they could have a huge impact.

Thanks for the explanation!

Is this comment dead? Why is it showing at the bottom, even with 8 points?

I really miss when the internet was full of games like this.

The Flash game era was great. Lots of ideas and different genres, short, free, games, no PhD behavioral psychologists trying to figure out how to hijack your brain and get you buying microtransactions.

> I mean, earlier treatment is beneficial, but there's a significant confound. All else being equal, if a cancer is less aggressive and slowly growing it is more likely to be detected early.

Wow! That makes so much sense! I had never considered this!

What are the downsides of applying?

I haven't dug into the process yet, but it seems like a worthy exercise in clarifying your own thoughts and gaining feedback, even if nothing comes out of it.

The good workplaces do. Low ego, high skill is a common refrain.

I've only ever heard fantastic things about Hetzner.

I'm shocked PE hasn't bought them yet and raised prices.

Would really love to hear more about your hobby! What are some of your greatest finds and lessons? Where do you go for information and insight?

What categories of "stuff" do you see as something that could last 100 years?

I wish people would stop with these "gotcha" questions that no normal person would ever ask.

> What's worse, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler?

Really? Is this representative of anyone's normal workflow?

Trailing vs. Forward P/E.

Argument starts at 3:56

They've written a lot about it. Short answer: App Stores.

Also, they're still losing absolute boatloads of money on it, despite trying seemingly everything.

It's a shame. They seem incredibly competent, but have an impossible task in front of them.

This reminds me of Reed Hastings (Netflix Co-Founder) talking about how after he had done layoffs (I think 30%) he found that they actually moved faster because all the dead weight was gone and the talent density had gone up.

This could also just be marketing spin however.

Are you an active user? What was the cutoff threshold for this?

I saw WSB hit 60,000 concurrent users watching the Nvidia earnings yesterday

Maybe. 75% of their incremental users are logged out and likely coming from Google.

Still, maybe Google also derives a lot of value from Reddit.

Would either of the two risk their position to extort some money from the other?

For now, but in a year?

You could also stagger the moderation to reduce costs. E.g.

Text analysis: 2 views

Audio analysis: 300 views

Frame analysis: 5,000 views

I would be very surprised if even 20% of content uploaded to YouTube passes 300 views.

> Panuwat traded on his work computer just seven minutes after he allegedly learned that Pfizer would buy his company.

Really? What an idiot.

I suspect this is because when they rolled out their Perspectives \ Discussions tab, Reddit completely dominated the results. One article I read said they appeared in 97.2% of results.
