I wonder when buying these 3rd party apps as acquisitions, if Reddit brought along their dev(s) in the process. It sounds like they didn't, which would be so shortsighted. Because what it seems is that once Reddit had these programs in their possession, they didn't know what to do with them, or how to integrate them into their own source code...at least with Spell this seems to be the case. I have no idea about Alien Blue, which I had used at one point prior to using Reddit's own mobile app. All they had to do with Alien Blue is rebrand...why didn't they?
How do you employ nearly 2,000 people. an army of unpaid moderators, and not come up with proper tools to navigate your own program, or find profitability off its user data? I think that Huffman has had no plan, leads a top-heavy organization, has been coasting along the company putting out day-to-day fires, and now he's scrambling to quickly find something profitable to show his investors.
There are a lot of things that don't make sense at the core of Reddit, because Google, Chat AI, and ad revenue are the places to make a profit...not API usage from 3rd party apps. I watched a really great video of the history of D&D last night on Nebula, and wow talk about lessons that Reddit could learn about 3rd party contributors.
(I'm going to link the video, but you need a subscription to Nebula and/or Curiosity Stream to view it). TL;DW summary: D&D works best as a business when it collaborates with 3rd party contributors and its fans.
I don't disagree this could be considered "news". And I don't want to weigh in on what's already been covered very well by the commenters here. I just want to point out "businessinsider" isn't a real news organization per se, as they recycle other links often. And they very much supported Trump throughout his setting fire to American democracy.
So it doesn't surprise me to see them publish a "counterbalance" article to go out after Moscow Mitch Ate The Big One.
100%, these right wing creeps are so weird. like when they're SUPER anti gay, you just know many of them are self loathing gay person. I think she's projecting her obsession with Hunter, she wants some of that Biden sausage
I lay this at the feet of financialization. Companies decided that their _share_holders were the only _stake_holders that mattered. If all you care about is "line go up" it's much easier to treat employees as fungible. But you can't "line go up" forever: the planet's resources are finite. One of those resources is goodwill and "line go up" has been burning it for fifty years.
But if the court has its way, and the ruling survives the inevitable appeals, "Trump will ultimately get the cash," she said, though "he could try to bid on the properties like anybody else."
Assuming there is cash. The very foundation of the case against Trump is him overstating the company's worth. The receiver will make accurate reports, which will probably reveal enormous hidden debts and properties worth a fraction of their claimed value. I wouldn't be surprised to learn Trump exhausted his father's fortune decades ago and has been sustaining the Trump Organization on nothing but fraud and Russian mafia money ever since.
“House of cards” got me thinking. It’s like he’s been using Uno reverse cards and all his debts and deals for years and years. Now New York has hit him with a bunch of Draw Four cards.
Whatever cash proceeds are available will likely get earmarked for paying whatever judgment is levied by the Court before anything else. And the judgment that is levied necessarily has to be greater than the fraudlently generated wealth, otherwise it's just "the cost of doing business."
Based on the epic fucking burns the Judge laid out in his ruling, he damned well knows that, too.
Here’s my hot take: the Giuliani connection is relevant- as a prosecutor he targeted the Italian mob so the Russian mob could gain a stronger foothold. They are all so beholden to Russia and it’s so obvious that it’s been a decades-long connection.
A bunch of the complaints sound like the same complaints I've heard from many companies. But it also sounds like a shit place to work, with some arrogantly poor leadership decisions.
Pretty predictable stuff from spez. If I were one of Reddit's seemingly innumerable VP's, I'd be questioning if my total compensation package is worth much anymore.
My guess is that most of them are probably preparing to cash out soon ... because the whole thing is hanging on faith and promises that no one is sure will be kept .... it's like dating that hot girlfriend/boyfriend and hoping that some day soon, you'll go to bed together and they just lead you on leaving you to wonder if anything will ever happen or not
Incumbency advantage is huge. People have seen her name on the roles for years, decades. It's a familiar sight so it's a lot harder to win a primary. And the party is afraid a new face would win the general and flip the seat to Republicans. So it's "safer" to keep an ineffectual incumbent in since they can be controlled, mostly.
We are suffering with that all along the west coast.
People complain and bitch all the time then just vote in the incumbent or a recycled version of them. Mostly because those already in power have bent their knee to corporations and lobbies, so as long as they play ball the campaign funding will keep flowing.
Most primary attempts are just drowned out by the money and fatigue of voters seeing too mant candidates that say the same thing… so incumbet it is.
Then comes the election where they get to choose, the same old thing OR some maga qanon crazy ready to take away basic human rights.
No wonder the other justices didn’t want an ethics charter or follow any rules or oversight. All are taking some sort of back handers and enjoying their lavish lives while being corrupted by the billionaire class.
Repulicans are not playing fair. They stole an Obama pick, then laughed about it.
Packing the courts would undo this corrupt court. Many are already bought and say they are their own enforcement on the rules they make.
Young people doen't deserve to live in a Christian Nation and the courts are planning to do this, with replublicans help.
