Not sure I agree. Apollo is apparently monetizing these users above and beyond what Reddit is/was able to accomplish. I’m confident that this represents value to Reddit > 0. So Reddit may have leverage, but not all the leverage.



Has anyone had any experience with new Bose headphones? If you use the Bose Connect app, I believe what the author wrote is accurate. But that app doesn’t work on the newer headphones (at least, not the ones I have). Instead I need to download the “Bose Music” app which doesn’t seem to give you the same options for privacy. And if you don’t use that app, the headphones are much less useful (eg, no hardware controls to switch which device you are connected to).


Why do you think they made a new app to begin with? the piracy policy is the same, its just after the media hype died down they saw no reason to add the opt out


> piracy policy

Not sure if this was intentional, but it made me chuckle.


For a fascinating, in-depth look at the Spanish flu of 1918 check out John Barry’s “The Great Influenza” [1]. The book was amazing and gives you a real sense of what one of the worst pandemics in history must have been like.

FWIW, I recently ordered a Spanish Flu book by Gina Kolata, and it took more than a week to arrive instead of the normal two days. Kindle version might be a better bet.


I was impressed that you can save for offline use right in browser.


I saw the recent electron based color picker someone created because windows didn’t have a color picker. This is lightweight and one of my favorite tools. It also has a Mac version (although no Linux as far as I know).


See http://gittup.org/tup/make_vs_tup.html for comparison with make.


Thanks very much. I used to have a ThinkPad and loved it. Will investigate!


Thanks. I heard great things about the XPS so was excited to get it, but as noted above I haven't been thrilled. Also, the keyboard is not great in my opinion. The Linux version could be better (I am forced to use Windows at work).


My introduction to window functions (and the best write-up I’ve seen) was through the SQL Cookbook (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596009762.do). I highly recommend.


This is a fantastic book - the name doesn't do it justice.
