Sure, online polls have obvious flaws (non-response bias, how many people actually saw the poll, who was motivated to actually respond to the poll, did voters actually understand the protest would last more than 1 day, should logged out lurkers have any representation, etc)

But beyond that, shutting down a subreddit for multiple days is such a drastic action, it should require more than just a simple majority in a quick online poll.

For instance, to amend the Constitution, you typically need a supermajority (2/3 or 3/4 of different parts of the government). To convict someone guilty in a trial, you typically need evidence beyond reasonable doubt and a unanimous jury verdict.

The burden of proof that users want to shut down the subreddit should be overwhelming.

> Next, they'll hand over fan-built communities to the entities that own the IPs they're dedicated to. Eg. r/starwars to Disney, r/startrek to Viacom/Paramount, etc.

This isn't an accurate extrapolation. In fact it's extrapolating in the opposite direction.

The moderators are taking a moral stand against an API policy. But the the actual users of the subreddits never consented to this moral stand. By removing these moderators that are working against the users, reddit is giving the subreddits back to the users.

The users of a subreddits drive all the value, not the handful of moderators.

If a competitor magically got the support of all the moderators, that wouldn't get them very far.

Spez is CEO because the board and investors deem him to be the best person for the job. Of course, he founded Reddit, so he has a strong case on merit for why he is the #1 person on the planet to run the company.

The process for selecting moderators is way less meritocratic or democratic than this. They merely got there first, finders keepers. The analogy for landed gentry is accurate.

There are use cases where Figma and Adobe already directly compete:

- Product wireframes/mockups

- Memes/social media posts

- Simple vector creation/editing

And that list is only expanding.

It's merely an informative blog post on a topic many people are interested in. I see nothing wrong with Cloudflare just explaining what happened, even though they had nothing to do with it.

I think it's plausible that they'd offer E2EE for all of iCloud.

They already do it for iMessage, and it makes it easier to turn down subpoenas if they can credibly claim that they can't even access the data themselves.

Likewise, offering an explicit choice also seems plausible. The full E2EE flow might have UX downsides (for example, the user might need to write down a recovery seed phrase on paper), so they might not force all users into that flow.

Done, load it up!

This should be an NFT, I'd love to own an NFT of the RNA sequence of the Moderna vaccine.

I tried Wozi, I heard about it through Pioneer.

I really enjoyed it. Once I applied the powder, everything in my fridge tasted like candy - fruits, yogurt, etc.

Now whenever I'm hungry for a snack, I quickly apply some of the powder, and have a delicious, healthy snack.

Looks like "vimtutor" is primarily text explaining the hotkeys.

For me, the bottleneck to picking up vim has not been merely knowing the hotkeys, but more internalizing the commands and building muscle memory.

The interactive game format of this website could possibly solve that, so it appeals to me.

Different people learn in different ways, but personally I’ve had more success with the opposite approach, ie “top-down”.

As in, rather than learning in depth all the low level parts then finally putting it together at the end, start with a surface high-level understanding of a working prototype then expand into the details of how everything works inside.

In the case of ML, this could mean starting with a 5 line SciKit-learn prototype of a random forest model, seeing some working predictions, then expanding knowledge from there - what data is going in and what is coming out? What’s a classifier? What’s a decision tree? Etc

A pandemic is indefinitely shutting down most of the country. This is hardly evidence that the economy is "fragile".

That would be like calling your iPhone fragile if it breaks after throwing out the window of a skyscraper.

If the article is accurate, this is clearly not "end-to-end" in the way that most people believe it. If Zoom was considered "end-to-end" encrypted, then any site that uses HTTPS should be able to claim so as well.

I interpret end-to-end encrypted to mean only the participants have access to the content, the intermediary couldn't spy on my calls even if they wanted to. This appears to NOT be the case with Zoom.
