Readit NewsEven if the OP considers the full headline number of $2.4b to be the value of the company, and taking his "1% of fair" number as truth, seven figure payouts would imply all 40 founding engineers had >4% equity which is nonsensical.
But I'll eat my hat before I'll install Reddit's own app. Reddit killing off 3rd party apps is why I post here and not there.
There aren't really any major technical reasons why the mobile site couldn't be as good.
> // TODO: If the user triple-clicks this button, the click handler errors because [xyz]
looks more like a comment than a real TODO to me. I agree that comments like those are useful, but shouldn't be a TODO.
A TODO implies a specific type of comment. One that implies a task, points to something that should actually be done (like TODO: This function should return another value with XYZ). And I agree that the proper place for that is a tracker, not buried in the code.
In the example just documents a bug. , there is no actual action.
In my experience, TODOs are often a way to get quick and dirty code approved in a PR. They usually never get done, they're just a way to push the responsibility onto some future developer who "will have more time" (which means it will likely never happen).
It’s a clear error, but likely unimportant enough to bother addressing.
Anyone I've known worth their salt in networking cares about latency far more than speed. Historically upload speeds on asymmetrical plans were a problem too, but since people have started to work from home, most cable/fiber/wireless internet providers' lowest plans offer upload bandwidth at multiple tens of megabits per second, faster than the ingestion speed of most video hosts, and more than enough for a dozen simultaneous HD video conferences, and their dowstream speeds are enough for dozens simultaneous 4K video streams at the highest resolution streaming services provide.
Incumbent ISPs lying about the benefits of gigabit plans, and lobbying for their requirement, is the equivalent of Intel bragging about 5 GHz speeds in the Netburst vs Athlon days. It ran at a higher clock speed, and that sold processors, but they ran slow, because they responded horribly to branching, and were late to the market on 64-bit an monolithic multi-core architectures.
Outside of rare power users, or someone especially impatient for one-off downloads, Gigabit is ridiculous for a large family or small office, and especially overkill for a small family or individual.
I can't stand the government either, and they'll probably replace that rule with one that's even worse, but it was a bad rule to start with.
Propagation delay usually dominates latency, so it's generally not the biggest factor, but on a simple local network with two PCs and a switch, you can expect about 1ms latency with 100BASE-T, and 0.12ms latency with 1000BASE-T.
| Component | 100 Mb/s | 1 Gb/s |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- |
| Propagation (30 m) | ≈ 0.15 µs | same |
| Two NIC serializations (TX + RX, 1 500 B each) | 2 × 120 µs = 240 µs | 2 × 12 µs = 24 µs |
| Two switch serializations (store‑and‑forward) | 2 × 120 µs = 240 µs | 24 µs |
| Processing in switch + NICs | \~10 µs | \~10 µs |
| **One‑way latency** | **≈ 490 µs** | **≈ 58 µs** |
| **Ping RTT** (×2) | **≈ 1 ms** | **≈ 0.12 ms** |I guess it's possible someone did explain it to him, and David hasn't mentioned that in his diatribe.
You shouldn’t interpret this sites focus as the people that post here not thinking there are more important things.
I've stopped using them because it's just a bit too expensive, and my cat's diabetes is more stable now.
I opened up a freestyle libre 2, it has a EM9304 bluetooth SOC, and a TI RF430 NFC microcontroller, chatgpt deepresearch estimated the bill of materials to be about $5 USD[0].
Some companies[1] are developing reusable CGMs, the electronics are reusable, but the glucose oxidase probe, and applicator needle are still consumable. I'm not sure if that will bring the costs down much, it doesn't seem like the BOM is the main factor in the price of existing CGMs anyway.
