In protest of Reddit killing off 3rd-party apps, this subreddit will join others in a site-wide blackout beginning June 12
Effective July 1st, Reddit is implementing changes to their third-party API services that will effectively kill off all third-party apps and many external tools that Reddit users and moderators have come to rely on.
We won’t rehash points that many of you have already been reading about — details of the changes and the discussion surrounding them can be found on the announcement post here, and the initial response on /modcoord: https://www.reddit.com/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding
Instead, we’ll just briefly talk about why we consider this important, and what it means for you, the average Reddit user:
Third-party Reddit apps are going away
If you make use of a third-party app to browse Reddit, such as Apollo, RIF, BaconReader, or Narwhal, those apps are going to stop working on July 1st of this year.
Reddit have implemented enterprise-level pricing for their API that they state is intended for third-party apps, however the pricing model they’ve released is unconscionably high, nearly twenty times what it’s believed their API services actually cost to operate. The developer of the Apollo app expects that keeping their app running would cost upwards of twenty million dollars a year, and will no longer be able to offer their app. Effectively, this change is an elimination of third-party apps in everything but name. The developers of RIF and Narwhal also expect they will be forced to shut down their apps.
Reddit content is about to become worse
Many subreddits make use of third-party tools to support their community, including custom browser extensions, bots, and archival services. Many of these services are likely to stop working, robbing communities of tools they have come to rely on to manage their content. The Pushshift API, which powered sites like Reveddit, has already ceased functioning. Many more tools are expected to cease working after this change goes into effect. We can surely expect the legacy old.reddit.com to be next on the chopping block — the mobile browser site, i.reddit.com, has already been removed.
That means that you, the user, can expect to see more spam, more FUD, more trolls, more stolen content, and more reposts in your communities.
The mod tools offered by the default app and website also pale in comparison to what’s offered by third-party apps and plugins. This means that communities can expect less moderation, worse moderation, and less transparency after these changes go into effect.
Reddit is about to become less accessible
Accessibility tools like screen readers simply do not work on New Reddit and the official iOS Reddit app. This change will effectively exile the Blind community from Reddit overnight. Read more about this here.
So what are we doing?
As a subreddit, we do have some sway here. Reddit requires its user’s content in order to survive — if we stop posting, Reddit stops making money.
To that end, askembryologists will be joining hundreds of other subreddits in a Reddit-wide blackout. On June 12th, 2023, participating communities will set their subreddits to private in protest of these changes, depriving Reddit of the content and traffic it needs to survive. The intent is to force Reddit to reconsider these changes and come to a reasonable compromise with app developers — who have stated they are willing to pay reasonable API costs — so that we can ensure that Reddit stays as safe and accessible as possible.
This isn’t a decision we’re undertaking lightly, but we believe that we do have the capacity to force change here, and we’d be remiss as members of this community to not take the few steps we can to attempt to ensure a better and safer Reddit experience for everyone.

I own VTSAX in my taxable accounts and it pays out a quarterly dividend. In my 401k also through Vanguard I have the "Vanguard Institutional Total Stock Market Index Trust Fund", but it doesn't pay quarterly dividends as stated by Vanguard "There are no distributions to date for this fund. Dividends and Capital Gains remain in the fund are reflected in the NAV rather than being distributed and reinvested in additional shares of the fund."
This is confusing to me as it doesn't seem to pay a dividend or reinvest the funds. Does the price of this fund just go up faster than it otherwise would if it payed a dividend?

I had a P67II some years back and thoroughly enjoyed using it, more-so than the 503CW and RZ67ProII I had, simply because it handled most like my workhorse DSLR, albeit obviously MF and a much larger form factor. I’ve been seriously itching to get back into MF again, and the P67 is at the top of my list, and I’d go for the P67II, except I seem to recall reading several times something to the extent of “if it breaks, it’s just gonna’ be an expensive paperweight- not fixable”, and that’s sort of been stuck in my head. I’d hate to buy in at current prices only to in a few years have… an expensive paperweight. So it got me curious as to which of the versions is generally considered most rigid/reliable and I guess easiest to repair should anything go wrong? Side note: it’s crazy how much form factor affects how much we’ll shoot… I know people hand shoot RZ’s, but I never did- kept that sucker mounted on the tri in studio at all times- just too big/heavy!

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair loss solution that involves the application
of tiny ink dots on the scalp to create the illusion of a shaved head or fuller hair. It is a popular
option for those who have experienced hair loss or thinning and want to restore their confidence
and appearance. If you are considering scalp micropigmentation in Melbourne, choosing a
reputable and experienced provider is important to ensure the best possible results.
In this blog post, we discuss what to look for in a scalp micropigmentation provider in
Melbourne.
Qualifications and Experience
When choosing a company for scalp micropigmentation in Melbourne, one of the most important
factors is the provider qualifications and experience. The following are a few key points to
keep in mind:

1. Licensing and Certification

The first thing to consider is whether the provider is licensed and certified to perform scalp
micropigmentation. In Australia, scalp micropigmentation is not a regulated industry. Still, many
reputable providers will have certifications from recognised organisations such as the Society of
Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP) or the American Academy of Micropigmentation
(AAM).
2. Training and Education
​
Besides certification, it is also important to consider the training and education of scalp
micropigmentation providers in Melbourne. Look for a provider who has completed
comprehensive training in scalp micropigmentation techniques and has ongoing education to
stay up-to-date with the latest industry advancements.
3. Experience and Portfolio
A provider experience and portfolio are also important factors. Look for a provider who has
treated various clients with different hair types and degrees of hair loss. A reputable scalp
micropigmentation provider in Melbourne will have a portfolio of before and after pictures to
showcase their skills and abilities.
4. Understanding of the Process
A reputable provider will have an in-depth understanding of the scalp micropigmentation
process, including the types of pigments used, the equipment used, and the technique
employed. They should be able to answer any questions and provide all the information you
need to make an informed decision.
5. Client Care
Finally, a reputable provider will prioritise client care and satisfaction. They will take the time to
understand your needs and goals and work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your
unique situation. They should also be available to answer questions or concerns throughout
treatment.
Reputation
A provider reputation is another important factor when choosing a scalp micropigmentation
provider in Melbourne. Look for a provider with positive reviews and testimonials from previous
clients, as this indicates their professionalism and ability to deliver the desired results. You can
check their website, social media pages, and other review platforms to see what others have
said about their experience with the provider. A provider with a good reputation is more likely to
provide a positive experience and results that meet or exceed your expectations.
Communication & Transparency
Another important factor to consider when choosing a scalp micropigmentation provider in
Melbourne is their communication style and level of transparency. A reputable provider should
​
be transparent about the treatment process, including any potential risks or side effects, and be
willing to answer your questions.
They should also communicate clearly and effectively throughout the treatment process,
explaining each step and ensuring you are comfortable and informed about every step.
If a provider is evasive or dismissive of your concerns or makes promises that seem too good to
be true, this could be a red flag. Choosing a provider who is honest, transparent, and
communicates effectively is important to ensure a positive experience and the best possible
results.
Customisation
Another important point to consider is the provider's approach to customisation. Every client is
unique, and a reputable provider will take the time to assess each client's individual needs and
goals before developing a customised treatment plan. Look for a provider who takes a
personalised approach and is willing to work with you to achieve your desired look.
They should also be able to provide guidance and recommendations based on your hair type,
skin tone, and other factors to ensure that the results look natural and realistic. A customised
approach is essential to achieving the best possible results and ensuring you are happy with the
outcome.
Red Flags
There are a few red flags to watch out for when choosing a scalp micropigmentation provider.
First, avoid providers who offer SMP at a significantly lower price than others. It could indicate
they have lower-quality equipment or pigments, resulting in subpar results.
Second, be wary of providers who promise instant results or claim to have a secret technique
that no one else has. SMP is a complex process that requires skill and experience to achieve
the desired outcome. It is important to manage your expectations and choose a transparent
provider about the process and what you can expect.
Third, avoid providers who pressure you to decide or try to upsell you on additional services. A
reputable provider will take the time to explain the process and answer any questions you have
without pressuring you into making a decision.
Conclusion
​
Choosing the right scalp micropigmentation provider in Melbourne requires careful consideration
and research. By evaluating a provider's qualifications, experience, reputation, communication
style, and approach to customisation, you can ensure that you receive high-quality treatment
and achieve the best possible results.
Its also important to be aware of red flags and to trust your instincts if something seems off.
With the right provider, you can enjoy the many benefits of scalp micropigmentation, including a
fuller, more natural-looking head of hair and a boost in confidence and self-esteem.

I'm having trouble understanding underwriting spread and how both issuers and investors end up happy with the terms. Ex. bonds purchased by the IBank at a discount and reoffered at par. Bank bought $1,000,000 bonds at 99% of price ($990,000), and sells to the market at a price of 100%, netting a 1% total spread. In this case, if the bank is selling to investors at par, investors expect a coupon equal to the mkt yield. But if the issuers had to issue at a discount, they wouldn't be happy paying the mkt yield, they would want to pay a coupon under the mkt yield. This wouldn't work. What am I misunderstanding?
