Also, "feedforward" doesn't really make sense. The point is to give information to a producer/developer/whatever. Feedforward would mean you provide information about your experience to someone else than whoever delivered it to you. Which is pointless.

I don't think reddit's goal is to get more eyeballs. Rather, it seems to be to temporarily maximize certain arbitrary metrics until they get to an IPO. Eyeballs could be such a metric, but I don't think it is one they care about (or else they are even more incompetent than I think they are). I think they are mostly pretending to have great plans and ideas, in order to convince investors that they *will* attract eyeballs *in the future*, after the IPO.

China is not in any way, shape or form relevant to science. In fact, never working with China again will probably be a very good thing for the quality of America's research output. Not the quantity, because producing a boatload of worthless publications has been the one strength of Chinese "research" for a long time, but the quality of scientific output can only benefit from having no connection to China whatsoever (speaking from extensive experience...).

This is a very clear case of its applying.

The real lesson here is that you should never 'buy' a game that requires an account to be playable. That entire concept needs to die asap.

I don't think this even sounds good on the surface. It sounds terrible on the surface, and even worse the longer ytou think about it.

A good idea would be to give such users a clue. This nonsense is only a good idea for Alphabet's profits.

Seriously! Why would you ever consider buying a bike that depends on some server being on-line? What possible advantage could that bring??

Embrace, expand, extinguish. They are now ready to start their proprietary, closed-source "extend" phase.

I think experience has by now pretty well established that monetizing social media is not possible without extensive enshitification. Either you run a site as a non-profit, and there might be some hope of it not being horrendously terrible, or you make money (for a little while) by destroying the site.

Avi Loeb is a well know fraud.

It'd be original claim at least.

Global records only exist for a few decades or so. So the hottest day ever recorded does not mean that much. It could be as recent as the Medieval warm era when there was a hotter day, as we don't have records from that time.

This is of course very unfortunate. Most likely, it will now be less than a decade before the project gets run into th ground by power hungry moderators (make no mistake, once any steering committee goes down the path of censoring their community, this result enshitification is unavoidable). Hopefully, by that time, there will be a good alternative to gcc.

Archetypal instance of Betteridge's law of headlines.
