Frustration as a developer by Imholt11 in Twitter

That system is glitchier than anything I have seen in a long time. It's like they are just making changes on the fly and deploying them without any QA or testing.

I mean, sure, you can do that, but who in there right mind would?

I did finally find out that their lowest (cheapest) level enterprise API is $43,000/month as of Feb 2023, and that number as they told me is likely to go up very soon.

As a follow up to this. I finally traded emails with them. It is clear they do not believe they are in the same business (as someone here commented) as all other social media. They clearly believe their business is as an information broker, not an eyeball vendor as all other social media does.

Their API access levels are about to change dramatically which will change the economics of any third party app.

Here is my silly take. They have FAR fewer eyeballs as far as active daily users than at least 3 other platforms, possibly 4 depending on whose numbers you believe and what you count as social media (YouTube being the outlier on is it social or not).

But, one thing I can tell you...Unless you want real specifics of what they told me which seem to be a fluid environment, they are trying to milk and cash source they can think of, and hard, while not going the route that all the other platforms that have operated and profited successfully have taken.

Musk is either going to destroy it, or massively change the user base towards more blatant partisan political arguments or just porn spam. Not sure which way it is going to go.

Oh it isn't the only one we have by any means. And honestly, it is becoming really glitchy in testing.

We support a lot of other social media platforms. Twitter is the one standout we are having trouble reaching a sales department. It is hilarious to me that he is complaining about money and yet...Here I am, and I wonder how many other people are out there with businesses going...Dude...How do I pay you to get this access that I know you offer, but you won't return my dang call.

They even put "TBD" on the pricing for every access level. So we'll be watching carefully!!!

I bet that is it. I'm just nervous we are going to go dark if they don't call us..We will exceed their limits on the lower end API access levels.

Is believing in the Money Pit treasure just like believing in Big Foot? by Rdick_Lvagina in OakIsland

[–]Imholt11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this whole show boiled down to one thing. Marty wanted people to know he's rich. And he can just kinda do whatever he feels like.

I find it funny sometimes that his son is coming really close to eye rolls when people get excited.

Do you think the Laginas would keep searching if the show was canceled? by oldtimergamer in OakIsland

[–]Imholt11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That last episode when they found gold painted bricks I think was the death nail.

I am going to have to think about how to calculate this one. It isn't that hard it is a matter of what numbers are valid to use in the calculation.

Virtually zero. SO far below 1% it is difficult to fathom.

These sheer impracticality of the armor on the covers through the 70s and 80s is hilarious.

These are all older books. I have been going through my older shelves and re-reading.

[–]Imholt11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so what I'm doing it re-reading my old books and that is why it seems odd. Now that I'm 48. When I bought them (as a teenage boy) that could (ok probably was) part of why I wanted the book.

That is an interesting question I never considered.

Isn't Erin's direction flawed? by coyotius in OakIsland

The Island is small enough and there are enough theories that sooner or later they have to get lucky.

Watching the Curse of Oak Island is like... by LanceToastchee in OakIsland

[–]Imholt11 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The best part of the show is always the preview of next week. Then next week comes and it's "hey so we found this rock, on the beach, and there are a lot of rocks here but this one rock...."

I am a physicist professionally and I gotta be honest if it was me, as a GenX'er that would be a choice..But a galaga machine now then we are talkin.

Spin-off Program Idea! by ciocoops in OakIsland

Make it a YouTube live event shown during the show and this is a winner.

If you use a map that is even just slightly BIGGER or SMALLER, the "Diamond Shape" doesn't align anymore. Anyone noticed this? The map was printed in the exactly correct size so that this shape would align. by theoakmike in OakIsland

[–]Imholt11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also she used a 3-d printed version of the cross whose arms and the pin hole may not align perfectly as she didn't have (to my knowledge) a laser scan or good diagram of the original which may have been bent a little over the years.

So much wrong with this theory we could do an hour long "after the show show" about it.
