All of reddit's code, except spam prevention, is open source.

Definitely a milestone in Bitcoin becoming more widely accepted.

Anyone have any knowledge of what specifically happened?

I've never understood why people have to stay in their cars during car washes. I'm no expert, but it seems like it would be quite simple to automate the process. Perhaps it is simple to do, but car wash companies haven't bothered to do it.

I've read that most DuckDuckGo employees work remotely. Not to increase productivity, but because DuckDuckGo recruits members of the community and they tend to be from all around the world.

The people they recruit often can't move to near their offices right away or at all, so they simply work remotely.

Knowing how small children these days already have phones, why don't they just call their parents and tell them they've been left in the car?

Jokes aside, I think the punishment should depend on if the parent had a history of neglecting their child, child abuse and other specifics.

Under any case, even if the parent was otherwise very loving and caring, at the very least they should do community service.

If they had a history of neglect, more serious punishments should be considered.

One of the main reasons people use Medium is that their posts will be viewed by random Medium users in addition to their own fan base, thus growing their fan base and getting more views both in the short and long term.

I'd compare it to YouTube. People could theoretically host their own videos, but the main reason people use YouTube is because it is so much easier for others to discover your videos.

Also, +1 on using Linode! Have had multiple projects on their servers. No downtime at one point for over 365 days.

I appreciate the effort to create a comparison or analogy here, but hosting video is a far, far bigger problem than hosting some text. Bandwidth costs will reach into the thousands of dollars per month video that gets a few thousands views, which isn't hard to get on YouTube's platform.

You are off by four orders of magnitudes

DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode: $0.02 per GB over your transfer limit

OVH $9/month VPS: 100mbps unlimited bandwidth, and yes, OVH doesn't care if you have 7x24 100% utilisation on your 100 mbps.

Let's say you have a 100MB video that gets 20,000 views, and half of the viewers end up streaming the full video.

BW incurred: 1 TB. Cost to you: $20

Have you ever produced videos for mass consumption? I have. They don't weigh in at 100mb. Try 500mb. And the aim with sharing videos is to get as much global reach and viewership as possible -- 20,000 views? What? I want hundreds of thousands of views otherwise what's the point in putting the effort in?

If I can produce a blog post in three days that gets 100,000 hits and allows me to provide affiliate links, multiple, constantly visible adverts, and so on, all for $5/month, why would I spend five days writing scripts, filming video, doing post production, and uploading the video for potentially less impact at 10x the cost?

I think that would only hinder conversation. The original idea of questions also seems dumb to me, since it feels like even many good posters who actually read the article would be too lazy to answer the questions, and if there was another comment section which didn't require answering questions, they'd just post in there. It also seems like having two comment sections would divide the conversation.

I'm not sure it would be laziness. A good poster who bothers to understand the article and compose an interesting response probably isnt lazy.

It seems Discord is in the early stages of something like this. They have dozens of employees and a pre-money valuation of 725 million US dollars. However, very few users are buying their premium service, with most saying it isn't worth it, with this paid version only coming out a year after the release of Discord.
