Any time you say "adjustable" the manufacturer and operator only here "heavier" which translates to "more expensive to operate."

I think they've got you covered. Maybe not directly porting over, but it sounds like they're aware of the non-emergency use cases.
> A: Write or copy a link to a website or an image into the email subject line and send it to your secret Daft Social email address.
I'm not sure I fully agree with the "simplification and reduction" premise if the only way I can get an image onto Daft Social is if I host it elsewhere first.
So if I'm reading this right, I would snap a photo on my phone, host the image somewhere, then send the URL to that image in an email. That doesn't sound overly simple.
For most people that want a flexible, extensible product that can do many things in many ways, it's probably not nearly as close an alternative.
Add in the current politics in Texas and yeah, I'm glad I'm not in Houston these days.

This isn't some hit piece on Tesla by way of contractor incompetence, there are substantial injuries happening to employees as well.
Are there other games that provide similar commentary?
> ...the server-rendered HTML will always default to light mode. This creates a flicker for night owls...
I played with this a bit and yes, that flicker is harsh. I appreciate the fade-in, but maybe have the initial color on load be somewhere between light and dark and then fade it to whichever is set by the client.
I definitely don't think it's a good idea for Reddit to do that as it will eventually create a substandard product. However, I do think if the goal is "profits at all costs" and an IPO in the near future (which is what it clearly appears to be), replacing a large number of mods with literally anybody is a possible path forward.
Again, it's a horrible idea and I think it would cause irreparable harm to the platform down the line.
I'm not so sure about that. I would be very surprised if there was a high % of redditors that know / care about the mods or mod system. This could be the cynic in me but I bet he could eject all the mods tomorrow, replace them with more faceless accounts, and the vast majority of reddit's userbase would not see a difference.
Those that have been around the site for a while would notice and feel the change and not be happy about it, but we're most likely talking about a very small single-digit % of the userbase.
Names can also be difficult if not done correctly / uniformly. For instance, "Category Name", "CategoryName", "category_name", and "category-name" can all return differently through search.
I don't think the key is names vs. numbers vs. whatever else, I think it's more important to pick a system that works for the use case, then define / document / communicate it as wide and loud as possible.
For instance: City/country, IATA/ICAO codes, lat/long, etc.
I will say that there does have to be some "meet in the middle" with this entire exchange. If my directs aren't interested in 1:1s, the meeting won't be effective.
1: There's a good chance this is already a term with a different meaning. If that's the case I don't mean to rip it off, it's just what sounded good at the time.
