    The headline makes it sound scarier than it is. They're being replaced by the current second in command, not some partisan nut job. Plus, it's being done by the mayor of Milwaukee, a city that has a history of electing socialist mayor's; he's fairly liberal, especially for a state like Wisconsin.

    Not if you want to chill drinks quickly. Not everyone is spending multiple nights in their hotel rooms to have enough time to wait for the fridge to do it's thing.

    Article title isn't super clear, but this is for video game developers who have either been laid off themselves OR others on their team have been impacted. It's still bad, but the 35% quoted as impacted in the article is not actually a percentage of layoffs.

    To answer your question, IP addresses are what computers use to identify and talk to each other. You get assigned a temporary one by your ISP through your modem, but they still own the actual address. Similarly, many businesses own their own blocks of IP addresses, so anything in that block will route to them. In this case Milwaukee had a block of addresses they didn't need and are selling them to an ISP.

    Saying they cited transparency issues is disingenuous. They never mentioned transparency in their announcement. What their reasoning was is that they didn't like having to worry about leaking unreleased features through their repos, and instead of finding a technical solution they decided to just stop maintaining their public repos instead and made the code closed source. It's shitty, but they didn't say it was done for transparency reasons.

    Here's the actual announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6xfyfg/an_update_on_the_state_of_the_redditreddit_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
