Reddit (the company) controls the platform. They can just install new mods if the current mods arent doing their job. I doubt most users would even notice that the mod names have changed.
They will then need to find an pay those mods.

I agree. I think that this is a turning point for Reddit but not towards failure: they’re ditching the hardcore nerd audience that made them. But they’ve long since outgrown that audience and will likely (as a company) do just fine without them. As a community there will be a notable loss.
Who is going to mod it.. couple reddits that I follow daily are public again, however there are no new posts as mods stopped accepting anything.
I am genuinely curious how this is going to work going forward.
Does it has anything to do with smartphones though?
It looks like it is simply a case of caring for your kids. Smartphones are an easy solution for parents, give them one and it keep your kid occupied while you are doing your stuff. Having your kids "socially connected" typically involve getting them into clubs and the like. For hiking, they probably need someone to get them to the hiking place and at a younger age, accompany them. Even more complicated now that leaving your kids live their live outside without constant physical supervision is more and more frowned upon.
Kids learn A LOT from being left alone, if them being left alone results in TikTok daily binge.. well it is time to do something about that. Parents can not supervise their kids 24/7 they need some time to themselves and making a living.
The "frowned upon" part is why you really need to be picky about where you live. Having kids spend time with friends roaming the neighbourhood without morons calling cops or child services is a priceless benefit to them.
> As if banning phones until 13 is really going to have that kind of impact. Come on. Those poor kids, can't get on TikTok.
When did you first get access to a computer? How has that affected your subsequent life and career?
Computers we had access to did not have ML generated crack being served by every app on them. Even so I had addiction issues, thank god this was before ML.
And no I did not have access to my parent's bar to drink vodka and brandy whenever I felt like as a 12 year old to "prepare me to real world".

There is a lot of discussion about prices, weather etc. but the key here is that their family died out. Being 80 and 74 and the only ones running the farm..

Great to see Mark Twain fail to engage in actual war. Leo Tolstoy, Thoreau and other men, too, were even less fond of it.
As a left-libertarian, I would like to recommend two great speeches regarding war:
Eugene Debbs: https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/eugene-v-debs-speech...
Smedley Butler: http://kether.com/words/butler-smedley--war-is-a-racket-1.pd...
This is just factually incorrect.
"In the Middle Ages when the feudal lords . . .concluded to enlarge their domains, to increase their power, their prestige and their wealth they declared war upon one another. But they themselves did not go to war any more than the modern feudal lords, the barons of Wall Street, go to war."
Feudal lords most definitely went to war, died in those wars, their who families were exterminated in those wars. This was the case everywhere in the world, from England to Japan.
In the end you can protest all you want but when dudes with guns show up, they care not about it. They will take your stuff, they will rape your wife and daughters, they will murder your sons and you. That is the history of humans from WAY before any feudal lords.

Because "Racial achievement gap" sounds a lot better and gets more $$ for panels, committees, researchers, administrators, unions and co. Then "Yes we still suck at teaching math please give us more $$"

Interesting examples of what he thinks it is helpful with. For example the API one, how do you know that it did not make up the decorator example out of thin air and it is not garbage? You have to google it or know it beforehand(he probably knew it already).
For me the cognitive load of second guessing everything is just too painful.
He was a really interesting, good guy. Getting stabbed by some filth.
Fucking shithole of a city. In the last 10 years every time I am there I can't help but wonder HOW??? How can such rich city with so much potential be turning into this?? I grew up in east Europe, in general few places in US trigger my prep for fight or flight.. SF you are having a nice conversation, walk wrong way 50meters and suddenly my heart goes to 170bpm. I started carrying a collapsible baton last time I had to stay there for business. SF is going full Detroit, 100% self inflicted.
