This could have been something that reddit pitched successfully to the site at the time - they could have acknowledged that folks don’t like ads and made a point of framing advertisers as entities choosing to support reddit and keep it free & functional - Reddit likes supporting “it’s own”. They could have facilitated and supported connections between advertisers and targeted communities in ways that bypass Reddit’s hostility towards ads and appeals to advertisers. Instead they just started serving ads.

And they didn't just start serving ads, they started serving ads like the HeGetsUs campaign that were so poorly targeted that the community they'd built absolutely hated them.

Libel of this nature must not stand. They're blood emeralds.

Yeah, if the filament is loose that should be your first step, it may not be able to keep the switch closed consistently.

I wouldn't rely on a strategy that requires cops to read.

Make sure both ends of the cable are seated firmly.

Open the sensor up and check for any debris that may interfere with the microswitch.

If both of those are ok, you'll want to check continuity of the cable with a multimeter, to make sure the cable hasn't broken internally somewhere. Once that's confirmed good, tape the switch closed and test continuity through the switch. Typically those sensors are made with really cheap microswitches, so you may need to just swap it out with a more reliable switch.

Good news is they're extremely simple, and so pretty easy to test.

Vornado Evap40 and the zigbee/zwave outlet controller of your choice. It's classic dumb tech; if you have it switched on but the power is off, it'll start just fine when you turn the power back on. The top of the central unit just lifts right off for cleaning. And it's a pure evaporative unit, so if something happens and it fails on, it's still self regulating.

Not even "are poor", just "aren't rich." Immigrating is expensive, both in actual costs and in loss of stability.

There's no stock or similar security, so the SEC doesn't care at all. Could be a plausible deniability thing, I just think it's more likely that he really is that dumb, given the stories about Tesla/SpaceX having teams that basically existed just to control him.

There's no stock to tank. You could argue that he's trying to tank the company, but there are easier ways to do that.

LLMs are definitely a big part of it, but there's no reason they couldn't have different pricing for different use cases.
