This seems to be the norm. Liabilities get too high and the business rolls up into bankruptcy. Individuals have their wages garnished till their debt is repaid. I feel like there should be an onus on the board/executive team till the settlement is reach. But I don’t really know what would be the most fair and scaleable to other instances of this.
I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.
What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn’t dip or rise with comments. So now I’m wondering how automated a lot of posting is.
My tinfoil hat is trying to make some sort of change to the blacked out subs killed the site.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing this.
For me at this point I think Steve Huffman would need to step down along with a step back of their changes. I can’t trust the platform given his track record.
I’m curious if you directed the users of those subs to any particular alternative?
I mean, apparently they are already bleeding money, but I doubt that these changes are going to do much to help in that regard.
Honestly, even a year ago I don’t think I would have imagined this happening. I wasn’t around for the Digg -> Reddit migration but I wonder if this feels a bit like that.
I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.
This one is great!
Probably because Spez is a moderator there. I can’t get over how funny this is though: LLM
I agree with you that we need more data. Right now the USA average car death’s are 1.37 per 100 million miles driven.
From what little Tesla has talked about the autopilot is below that average. BUT the raw data hasn’t been released. We don’t know how many miles have been driven on autopilot, we don’t know the road conditions it was used in (assumingely autopilot would be used more often on freeways), and we don’t know how the safety rating of the Tesla vehicle compares to others on the road (its possible Teslas are getting in more accidents but the car is keeping them safe, or vice versa).
Too many unknowns. So while I dislike this article because it mostly comes off as hollow in my eyes, I do think that Tesla needs to make more of it’s data public so users can make an informed choice.
I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I’m guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.
That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I’d be astounded if they didn’t also have a sorting for ‘value’ of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn’t convert.
Wild, how close are we to ‘Twitch plays Reddit’?
Good looking out! I’m not the creator though, just sharing is all.
I’m not entirely sure. Seems like there will be plenty of inertia from the subreddits remaining open. I’d imagine that eventually Reddit will force them open again.
But they aren’t going to be getting those moderators back on the site without some sort of change. It’ll be really interesting to see how much of an impact that has.
I remember hearing something about that. I really should check it out, as a scrub who never actually finished Morrowind.
Wild, a 17 year old game, remade in a 10 year old game. That’s a ton of work and dedication from the developers of this project. Hats off to them.
Another issue is timing. State(s) could drag their feet in redistricting and if it gets too close to the election say they don’t have time to complete the courts request. I hope there’s timeliness enforced.
Also, yes usually the house goes to the winning candidate for the first two years than swaps.
Wild that it’s mentioned multiple times in here how the large data sets aren’t really an advantage. Reminds me of Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise. Sounds like Google and OpenAI have a lot of noise right now.
It’s also low hanging fruit, since the state could drag their feet on redistricting until it’s too close to the 2024 election. So the party doesn’t lose seats and the Supreme Courts gets to say they threw human decency a bone.
