in the moderator subreddit, the admins have stated several times that non-commercial access will remain free, and have skirted replying to direct questions, from what I can tell. u/spez (reddit ceo) is doing a ama tomorrow.

>Hi Mods,

We’re providing a follow-up on the last API update we made to make sure our mods, developers, and users have clarity on changes we are (and aren’t) making.

API Free Access

This exists and continues to be available.

If usage is legal, non-commercial, and helps our mods, we won’t stand in your way. Moderators will continue to have access to their communities via the API - including sexually explicit content across Reddit. Moderators will be able to see sexually-explicit content even on subreddits they don't directly moderate.

We will ensure existing utilities, especially moderation tools, have free access to our API. We will support legal and non-commercial tools like Toolbox, Context Mod, Remind Me, and anti-spam detection bots. And if they break, we will work with you to fix them.

Developers can continue non-commercial usage of the API, free of charge within stated rates. Reddit is also covering hosting for apps via the Developer Platform, which uses the Data API.


Have you looked at the rate limits? They changed it from 60 calls per user per client ID to 100 calls per minute per client ID. Nothing is getting built with limits that low


TBI hardly means you're supposed to be institutionalized. Just ask car accident victims, NFL linemen, boxers, veterans


Europe is burning wood cut in the US for fuel, and I wouldn't call the logging practices or shipping in any way green 0r sustainable. It's crazy.

Many banks used to, at least in the US. Had to run some version of internet explorer. Sometimes a specific version or you could not access the bank website. It's creeping back now as more sites are not working correctly with Firefox for me.


Coal also. Lead to things like Blair mountain[0], where poison gas bombs from WWI were dropped on American workers, in America.

There's four boxes.

Thank you. Most people haven't heard of this (even in KY/WV), which is odd, being one of the few instances where the military was used against citizens, helping illustrate that labor is to remain docile when abused.

There are a handful of regional books detailing the mine wars (Life, Work, and Rebellion in the Coal Fields, The WV Coal Wars/more elementary and Robert Shogan's The Battle of Blair Mountain) that are worth checking out. PBS (American Experience?) also had a 2 hour special a few years back that focused on WV and Mother Jones that was worth watching.


Soap box, ballot box, jury box, and cartridge box?


The infloor and in-wall heating systems are just recently being re-introduced! 2000+ years later. Even small buildings in the wilds of england are found with hypocaust tiles. I just saw a video introducing a brand-new underfloor heating system using hot air! The not leaking liquid was a big selling point.

Everything old is new again.

Lead, or pewter [0]? Which was and still does sometimes contain lead which acidic drinks like wine can leach the Pb into solution.

Tomatoes took a while to get popular in Europe because rich people where eating them off of pewter plates and the acid in the tomatoes leached the lead out and made them sick.

It was the poor people without pewter plates that made tomatoes in Europe popular.


Don’t (virtually) all crystal “glasses” also contain lead?


Yeah, and most leach into the wine. It's less of an issue with wine glasses since the wine is not in them very long, but decanters are a cause for concern. Tbh, I refuse to use crystal glass at all. Cheaper stuff is simply safer.


Stupid question, but what if someone offers you a drink in it?


Yep. Twice. Posted a link upstream.


Time Team did an episode/dig about this, and another sbout doggerland in general.

That's some praxis right there.
