  • Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts

  • I'm not sure which platform (fb, Twitter, YouTube???) it was, but it did count "unfollow" or "block user/block channel/block post" as negative feedback, limiting future reach of this person's posts to other users of the platform.

  • Reddit CEO Defends His Absurdly High Pay While Not Paying Mods

    Jump

  • Reddit has a lot of users that spend a lot of time there, so it is advertising potential, and a lot of Brands pay for ads on Reddit. Investors hope they will eventually make enough ad revenue to turn a profit.

    However Twitter was and is in the same boat, it is a big site with many users, but was never profitable.

  • Reddit CEO Defends His Absurdly High Pay While Not Paying Mods

    Jump

  • He gifted himself a ludicrous $193 million compensation package.

    Reddit, a 20-year-old company, has yet to turn a profit. In 2023, the platform lost a whopping $90.8 million.

    Can someone explain to me how reddit can make a loss, while he pays himself MORE than the loss? Does that not mean that reddit would have made a 113 Million profit before his $193 million compensation package? What kind of business-algebra-gymnastics is at work here?

  • There is a one-time upfront payment of $55,000, plus an ongoing annual ground rent of $1,091 per bunker. Bunkers are provided in their as-is condition, without interior improvements, equipment or furnishings, ready for your outfitting.

    How is this a "billionaire commune", when the price is a fraction of a standard 2-bedroom house or even a motorhome, and pretty much everyone can move in?

  • Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

    • Press F12 to open the Debugger.
    • Click the "Network" tab
    • Press Ctrl+F5 to reaload the whole page (including previously cached files)
    • under the list of transfered files in the greyish bar above the debug console (if enabled...) you see the total number of requests the site made and the total filesize that has been transfered; lower is better.

    • I have a limited amount of bandwith on my mobile plan
    • if i know a game download is large i go home where i have broadband; i dont download large files over mobile internet
    • a text-only website can be rather small with only a few KB. It's only when you get ""Designers"" that things start to bloat, because the system fonts are not good enough and 2MB in extra fonts no sane visitor will ever notice must be downloaded.
    • the marketing department REALLY needs those 10 extra trackers and analytics scripts that take 5s to load, even if they last looked at the visitor stats back in 2021 and the login has long been forgotten.
    • the CEO wanted that animated AI powered talking gorilla widget he had seen on a local tradeshow where the customers can ask product or website questions (spoiler: they dont!), which ads a few more Megabytes to each pageload even before you even use it.

  • Of-the-shelf SSDs are optimized for speed and price.

    Flight recorders are typically specified to withstand an impact of 3400 g and temperatures of over 1,000 °C (1,830 °F), exposure to salt water, and high pressure if it sinks to the bottom of the sea as required by EUROCAE ED-112.

    Maybe you could design a flight recorder that uses SSDs, but then you must get it certified again for the new hardware, which will cost a lot of money nobody wants to spend. The next step in flight recorders is to also send a live feed of telemetric data back to some ground station so the last position of the plane is known - with a flight recorder you only get this data after you found the wreck. Currently submitting this signal is optional and can be turned of by the pilot, which is the reason why Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is still missing.

  • Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao made panicked last call before dying in ‘completely submerged’ Tesla on Texas ranch: report

  • I just watched the video above. I'd say it's a criminally bad design, because the emergency open is completely hidden from the casual observer and completely blending in with the other colors and shapes of the armrest. This makes it useless in an emergency.

    There is a reason why Fire extinguishers, seatbelt release buttons, emergency exit signs, emergency brakes in trains etc. are all designed in bright, red stand-out colors with big letters on them.

  • Previous company handled everything over email. No Kanban, no Git, no organization - everything was still handled as it was in a random accounting office back in the 90's. I spend half of my worktime searching for who-said-what-and-when emails to code feature x, and then had to email it back to another dev.

    There was also zero drive to improve anything. I was yelled at for 5 mins straight for suggesting to add a placeholder to a dateinput (which was declared as '

    <input type="text">

    ', instead of '

    <input type="date">

    '), because the correct format 'YYYYMMDD' was never mentioned anywhere on the form or in error mesages, and people keept having issues.
