I think the management is doing the right thing for the long term. They will try to make it more and more social and maybe even try to act as a news portal; things that bring in profits. It should attract a lot of new people. It won't be the reddit you remember but it will be a more profitable reddit.
On a personal note I feel nothing as I find reddit to be quite a distraction to my productivity and many subreddits of my interests are dead.

I too depised these things when I took accountancy in school but by the second year I had accepted their value and now cannot see how else it could have been better. Debit/Credit is the foundation of double entry. Most people think accountancy = bookkeeping. They dont get Double entry system. It's understandable, it took me a considerable time to grasp it.

Wasn't GAAP replaced long time ago?
throwaway_97 | 11 years ago | on: Accounting for Developers
This rules are in place due to over centuries of accounting experience. It may seem unintelligent or silly to the untrained eye, "debito and credito" , exclusion of negatives or many other are in fact in existence because they work.

My main problem with android is the play store. Its so heavily localised with crappy apps and many bad attempts at trying to find the right things for me. I miss out a lot.

I found that at least in qBittorrent you can download media in sequence and consume it as it downloads. VlC seems to work fine even though it will prompt you about building a index first.

Correct me if I'm wrong but UP lost its last rhino in 1878 in Pilibhit forests. All the new rhinos are the ones rehabilitated from Assam.

>They survive in northern India and southern Nepal.
There are no rhinos in northern India. There are only in Assam(Kaziranga and Manas national parks) which is in north-east and let me assure you that is not remotely close(geographically) or similar(regarding climate) to northern India.
