I'm not sure I understand how this is enforceable. Surely Reddit can't claim trademark to every name used as a subreddit?

Is this the only reply you can come up with in this post? Maybe some people want to have legitimate discussions on valuations.

Do you not realize how much of modern society relies on cars and trucks as a mode of transport? It's asinine to think you can just get rid of them in most parts of the world and continue life as usual.

I know several friends who prefer to be in the office because they need some amount of time away from their young kids. It's the equivalent of "them" time where they get an escape from child care for a few hours.

The Linux hivemind on HN would say that's OK, but that mindset is also why Linux has such a dismal consumer base. There should be a video player built it by default, yes, but it should also be easy to remove if you so choose.

The hacker/builder ethos doesn't matter in the grand scheme of commercialization.

>This customer is not only right, but is representative of a whole class of customers that you need to learn to win over.

That's not always true. If a certain subset of customers wants something ridiculous, they can either go elsewhere or learn to adapt. For better or worse, companies often times have the ability to drive public sentiment just as much as they have the responsibility to pander to it. When Apple removed headphone jacks from all their products they did so against a torrent of outrage, but fast forward 5-7 years and they absolutely made the right call. People learned to get over it.

Catering to bordering-on-harmfully-obsessive parents isn't always the best call.

On the contrary, I see Reddit as being extremely difficult to replace, precisely because of those 17 years of investment by users. Reddit is a gold mine of information related to any topic you can imagine, and that information won't magically migrate to another platform without serious network traction by a large user base.

In this particular case the CO2 mineralization is taking place in a wastewater slurry that comes from washing out cement trucks. The carbonated slurry is then re-used as an additive by cement manufacturers.

I'm not entirely sure what that implies. It's in the consumer's best interest to check reviews of products when selecting something to buy. How else would you wade through competing options?

Furthermore, 4chan has no search feature so I don't know how that's even equivalent.
