Same as the old talk radio rule - don't expect to win an argument against the guy who owns the only microphone.

I've been on Reddit for 7 years and I didn't even know there *was* a subscription to buy. The mods' foot-stamping flounces are obnoxious but they're right about one thing- the people running reddit seem to be clowns that are bad at both business and tech.

That's still an improvement in some cases. Years ago there was a (I think) Navy ad that was in full 2k and apparently ONLY 2k. My internet was too slow to play it live and YT would just stop trying to play my actual video playlist when the ad stuttered too much, so I could either refresh to hopefully get another ad or pause the ad and let it buffer enough to hopefully play through. So shortly after that experience I enabled AdBlock. I *wasn't* against watching ads to pay for the service but they had simply failed to provide something usable. In fact if AdBlock stops working I might pay for premium, which wasn't even an option when I first starting blocking them.

Classic progressive thinking: What we're doing isn't working, so we have to do it much more.

Everything is obvious once the bugs are worked out and it's been in place for a few years.

Wow, even by /. standards this is a poor comparison. Running a tab is almost the opposite of seamlessly taking payment before providing the service.

Black holes are dead stars, so it follows that a living star can be as large as a black hole. I didn't read the article but the summary explicitly says that it's not "eating local" so there's no reason it would have significantly more mass than when it first collapsed.

Obviously "taking credit" is a bit of a euphemism here, but when I was studying investing 20+ years ago the strategy the books articulated was a blind "buy real estate this year, raise rent 10% next year". The only new thing here is getting landlords to pay for a very old idea.

No you haven't heard it in relation to freaking **squash**. Don't try to Mandela a perfectly good Hawkingism.

Yes, so the stock already has *massive* growth priced in. That's the opposite of "still a good buy".

Their P/E very much says otherwise

Name one, we'll wait.

Totally agree. For many years my go-to question for C coders was to implement strcpy(). Simple enough to do under pressure but it can lead to some really interesting discussions on style, error handling, exceptional inputs, etc.

Interview OVER! /funny

Man I wish I had points to mod this up, the whole comments section is a wall of this guy's ramble.
