That’s a deep misunderstanding of how that number came to be. He wasn’t paid 193 millions. He was paid something like 6 millions.

The rest is shares that he got and kept through the whole period. When you setup a company you create a number of shares that founders buy (with most kept on the side for investors). As you grow so do those shares value, and you’re also granted some as bonus/salary/et . At 10B those share are worth 190 millions. If Reddit would be worth 1 billion those shares would be 19 millions.

Basically he owns about 2% of Reddit.

Almost every IPO in history has resulted in a significant drop in value on the first weeks as early investors drop their shares on the market and hype goes down. I would be surprised if Reddit loses half of its value in the first month alone. It is much less bullish than a lot of other recent IPOs.

Honestly just ActivityPub. And being backed by the W3C id assume there already are discussions in countries where corruption is less prevalent.

Public spaces should be government owned. Each country could have its own public servers with a guaranteed spot for every citizen. People can cross post.

If you want anonymity you can have private servers too.

Maybe you’re born with it.

Give it time.

Minitel -> mailing list.org -> geocities -> 4chan -> Facebook -> Reddit -> instagram …

And that can create unexpected situations, like corporations stealing your patents or patenting all usages of your work, and prior art might be damned, and in some cases even sue you for you own work. There are examples of this for people who didn’t patent or license their work, this is not some weird hypothetical. WTFPL is not a license, it is not clear that it protects you or not.

In the real world, WTFPL has no reasons to exist. If you want to protect your work but want to make it available, there are good permissive open source licenses. Slap an Apache, or CC0 or GPL license.

No. Don’t do that. WTFPL is not a license. It’s a legal pandora box.

Reticulating splines.

Believe it or not, also goat.

I don’t know how much of a gun it was. Apple has definitely been working on RCS support for a year; you don’t add that in a few months. Similarly I’m pretty sure Apple has been considering USB C in iPhone since at least when they started working on the USB C on iPad, which is what 5 years old?

Of course without pressure they would have probably be slower to move forward, and with Apple secrecy it’s always hard to tell how long things have been ready to ship. But let’s not pretend they just woke up this morning with a horse head in their bed and told their direction team to start working on this.

If anything it is unironically a psychological study into Tommy Wiseau ego, as he did the directing, writing and producing (and acting). It tells us more about his view of the world than any biography could ever.

That’s the secret; if all wishes can be cursed, all wishes can be cursed with an immortal hell.

I don’t know why people wish for money rather than immortality. Compounding interests baby!

Québécois: Tabarnac…

That’s called a “garden path sentence”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence Has more examples.

Or 100 times per person!

You’d know if you looked it up on Kagi ;)

Children’s hospital are actually a more legally challenging claim that they’re not charities, at least in some cases (edit: I did not check if that specific hospital is legally a charity).

But PP is classified as a charity at the federal level. If you give cash to PP, you can claim the amount you gave as a gift to a charity. That’s all you need to know.

So when they say charity, they don’t actually mean charity. They mean some weird shit that they’re making up. Because there’s a legal definition of “charity” and PP is part of it.

I paid for WinRAR once. If by “expensive” they mean ratio of price:value I consider that the most expensive thing I’ve bought.
