that doesn't involve making my tool conform to some ideology

The only platform that does this is iOS, which embeds an ideology that forces developers to lock down their apps even against their own wishes, and hence prevents the use of GPLv3 licensed code.

Meanwhile, the major Linux distros include all types of licenses, including proprietary.

The only point of this controversy is to make the CEO's life miserable.

The capacity to do this has always existed and the circumstances are incredibly trivial.
Snopes reporting on "facts" is coloured by their bias.
Without being in the loop of the pizzagate drama, it's really hard to see this as "okay" (the actions that Spez took). I can understand frustration and wanting to edit comments as payback to people that have wronged you, but this is a pretty dangerous action by an administrator. If he wanted to close the thread(s) or disallow posting on the_donald, sure, it's a visible action and I could understand that. I could even understand removing comments he finds offensive (even if it's not right, I can understand it and it's a visible action). But surreptitiously editing a comment is not okay, because while this is a relatively minor use of that power it's not unthinkable that other admins with that power might use it for less minor things.

Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory that spawned from the Podesta email leaks that cover a pedophile ring that involves several government officials.

There's a decent amount of circumstantial evidence for it, but I personally still think a bit of a stretch.

Vox even did an article on conspiracies and why they flourish on the right more than the left.[0] Essentially it's low trust, highly engaged people versus lesser engaged people. If you don't trust anything, and you're consuming "knowledge", you're going to latch on to conspiracies.[1]

As hacker news is the same sort of "social media" as reddit, you certainly haven't stopped using it at all.
Can we start referring to social justice warriors/feminists as Marxists too, or should we only vilify groups you don't agree with?
I can't imagine the majority of users are criminals.

I've recently tried it out as a means of receiving payment for completely legitimate work. The client was in a different country. The contract was signed in USD. Client sends half at then exchange rate, which arrived very fast. After accepting the delivered work the client sends the other half, which was less BTC because the price went up by that point. But it didn't matter because the first half I was holding appreciated so it's all the same. Turned out one of my vendors likes Bitcoin so I used some of it to settle an outstanding bill with him, then sold the rest at an exchange. Opening that account for the company was a pain in the ass, though less painful that opening a typical brokerage account. I had to pay a fee to the exchange to sell and another fee for them to wire the funds to my bank. It was faster and cost less than a credit card. It was more expensive than a check, but way way way faster. It was cheaper than SWIFT overall, but a few dollars more expensive to me because I bore the costs of selling while the client only bore the tiny costs of the Bitcoin transaction fees. If the contract was for a much larger amount then SWIFT would have been better. For accounting purposes I'm just treating BTC as a foreign currency. I would accept it again, it's great to actually receive payment that fast.
Sure, fair enough.
I think it's sort of based on the fact that "cheese pizza" is 4chan slang for child porn, and there was a picture sent by podesta of an immigrant child (and her family) eating pizza with a title like "feels good" (that they helped this family, interpreted by conspiracy theorists as they molested this girl)
But since there's a "hand" pointer, it seems more logical that it would drag whatever it is holding, in this case the 'scene'

Make twitter great again and make Donald Trump pay for it
Trump did AMA there. Imagine when next time Trump does AMA on The_Donald subreddit:

- Mr. President, are you going to deport american citizens?

- No, I am absolutely not going to do that.

That gets ninja edited to:

- I am absolutely going to do that.

Can you imagine the uproar that would cause? We already have people in the media holding their breath for the next Trump's tweet - if something like this happened, there would be panic, hysteria, people having health complications.

This is extremely serious. Even if this were to be rolled back, damage would already be done by then. That would be akin to screaming "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
One common mistake is to take the average of run times (for identical runs). I think taking the minimum should be better under reasonable assumptions.

Edit: I now see that this was mentioned elsewhere here. Good!

It's because they don't fully trust each other, after all, in a single transaction you could be talking hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars changing hands. With a blockchain, the transaction is virtually impossible to fake, and it's verified without involving costly middlemen and large delays - which is the situation today. The link I posted from Santander above contains more details as to the motivation behind it.

I'm not talking about wars - I'm talking about the holocaust and the deaths from internal repression in the soviet union and maoist china. One of the preconditions for such things to take place is the corruption of truth in the public discourse.

I'm sorry if this seems like exaggeration or scaremongering but I find these stories terrifying far beyond the election of donald trump.

>the governments regularly shouted "fake news"

This is another aspect of what I'm talking about. Once you break the good faith assumption of truth speaking in the public sphere, it becomes a vicious cycle as nobody is incentivised to speak truthfully.

Of course the press has always been used to manipulate the public, but this seems categorically different. The people who are writing these stories are shamelessly fabricating them, as opposed to uncritically republishing information fed to them by authority figures. This breaks down interpersonal trust in society in a way that simply pushing the government line doesn't.
Google, and also Microsoft btw, absolutely need to be called out on this. They
keep claiming that their translation systems work well, because they have
reasonably good results between some language pairs, like English/French or
English/Spanish, that are a) close linguistically b) have a lot of
examples of translated documents and, more importantly, c) have many speakers
who might use Google translate.

For languages where none of the above holds, however, the results continue to
be completely ridiculous, no matter what "new" technique Google (or MS)
advertises. Since those languages are not spoken by as many people as English
or Spanish etc, however, it's very hard for the user to figure out how
attrociously bad their automatic translations are.

Here's an example from my native Greek; this is a bit of news text from
yesterday [1]:

Λανθασμένη χαρακτηρίζει ο Κύπριος κυβερνητικός εκπρόσωπος, Νίκος
Χριστοδουλίδης, την προσέγγιση, να μπαίνουν στο «ίδιο καλάθι» η Ελλάδα με την
Τουρκία σε σχέση με το κυπριακό.

And here's Google's translation:

Incorrect characterizes Cypriot government spokesman Nikos Christodoulides,
the approach to be put in "one basket" by Greece and Turkey in relation to
Cyprus.

So, the Cypriot government spokesman (well done) is put in a basket by Greece
and Turkey (wait wut). Hey, maybe the guy wanted to be put in two baskets? [2]

That's very typical of the way Google translates between Greek and English.
For Google, it's Neural Networks leading us to a bright future where language
barriers are eliminated thanks to Scienz! For Greeks, it's comedy gold.

And it's the same for Russians, Polish, Finns, Swedes, Indians, Chinese,
Hungarians...

Still, Google keeps including those languages in the count of languages it "covers", because it's good advertisement and who can really dispute them anyway?

Washington Post linked to a reddit thread with comments bashing the CEO. The CEO did not like the world seeing him bashed by his own community and decided to impersonate the users to make them seem attacking the moderators of /r/The_Donald.

The CEO crossed the line because he thought he could get away from any liability for doing it.

Qunar was a travel meta-search engine in those days; we used to pay them to list our inventory. Their API was quite shoddy. We stopped paying them, because it didn't make sense (we paid more for less business in return than was profitable). They then turned around and started offering the same services other companies used to offer and advertise through them... after they'd taken everyone's listing and price data. I personally find that a questionable change of model which would have caused legal havoc in a western context, not so in China. Tuniu I am unfamiliar with.

When HB was new, they did exactly this. The minimum $1 has presumably come about because the people who buy at $0.01 are only there fore free stuff - they don't actually want the content, so why make a loss for them?

Edit: In fact, they still do this, and you can get the Mobile or Games bundles for $0.01.
This is what I think is being lost on people.

People are getting too tied up in what this "potential power" and "loss of integrity" means.

In reality is it means nothing. There never has been and never should be a guarantee or even an assumption of integrity of comments posted on the internet unless they are cryptographically signed.

He trolled some trolls for the lulz. It was a bad idea, hopefully he just drops the banhammer on all of them next time. Hell, ban the entire subreddit while you are at it for excessive harassment and be done with it.

Ton of source material. OP can't argue on no basis. Maybe false basis but not no basis. I haven't look at the source material for more than 30 seconds - so I can't be any judge of it.
On election day Santa Clara county approved Measure E, which requires any business above a certain number of employees to offer additional work hours to existing part-time employees before hiring more part-time employees. The idea being to make it illegal for a company to just keep hiring more and more part-timers to avoid ever giving someone enough hours to become full-time.

I suspect if the overtime rule sticks around we'll see similar measures pop up for it.
I work at a digital agency, in many ways I am a cog in a ticket processing pipeline. We have an endless stream of tickets. If one gets done there is another waiting, there is no reason not to be working. It is a bit of a bummer, as a lifestyle. But makes total sense as a business. This isn't a school where the goal is learning and assignments are the method. The assignments are the goal and there is enough for months of work, I already know how to do them, so there is no reason not to.

I yearn for something a bit different, I don't feel like an endless stream of 100% work is healthy. But the only way for that to be different is for the business to actively say "yes, we would like to make less revenue so that you can do something that isn't what we pay you for"

The realistic scenario is that I work fewer hours and get paid less. Which is fine, and lines up nicely with the meritocracy rhetoric. But I can't help but feel like the work 40 hours, eat, sleep, die method of employment is a slight perversion of life.
Also for f's sake, don't send me unsolicited "Getting Started" eMails! I don't understand why all those webapps think that this is a good idea.

What kind of shitty UX is that? Would you like me to just click on Spam and tell GMail to block them for everybody?

You're talking about cool things, no doubt about it, but code made available for academic purposes only is still not open source.

This isn't just pedantry, we are scientists from different countries, with many of us having learned English as a second or third language (I'm from Romania, hi), so it's better to be precise in language.

And in this instance "open source" is a good term to be precise about, because the OSI definition specifies exactly what you can and cannot do with it. And in particular (1) you can use it for any purpose, even for evil ones and (2) you can fork it and modify it in any way you wish.

So when I hear "open source", I don't have to go and read the license and validate that these requirements are true, because OSI has already done that for me and they have lawyers that know how to read licenses. This saves me time, headaches and money.

And academic, non-commercial licenses do not qualify. Microsoft itself has introduced an alternative term for such academic, non-commercial licenses and I think it's a good one: Shared Source. Lets use it.
Why should I?

What boggles my mind is that Facebook and Twitter are so very complicit by creating platforms for very granular targeting.

You liked the Green Bay Packers, a gun owners group, an old 2008 Tea Party video, live 60 miles outside of a city and between 40-65? Not only is that profile there, Facebook ads will tell you almost exactly how large your reach is.

This is nothing more than information arbitrage, and that the unit economics from advertisers hasn't quite caught up yet. It's what allowed Buzzfeed to exist in the first place, and ultra targeted startups like Teespring to grow, by training a small part of the crowd to become content creators. Moreover, traditional content creators like NYTimes don't even understand how much they are being undercut cents-to-words.

You work out the funnel conversion, hope for some organic spread, and just pump things out. In a few years, this whole thing could be automated and AI generated to sway elections and public opinions. All you need is a training dataset for the targeted population's underlying views and beliefs.

Imagine a startup trying to do this at scale, growing 10% week over week or something insane. At this point it's basically going to match the velocity of information across online networks of people.

If this becomes a positive feedback loop where readers start to accelerate the spread after becoming radicalized - this becomes a social virus.
Well, when you analyse thought as something you experience, you'll come to realise eg. that it can be verbal or visual (check out Temple Grandin) and is always compound. You can talk about thought/belief as something basic on a level of propositional logic, but this level is as abstracted from experience and observation as possible.
Thought is always 'made' of some prior experience/perception, when you look at it. It's a very high level of description compared to consciousness/qualia.

I did that a few times; talking to expats really gives a skewed (and to my taste usually ugly) view of a place. I rather befriend locals first and then go to meet them which we do now. Then you also get a nice perspective on expats from them which indeed usually is consistent with my views of them. This is a generalisation and obviously there are plenty exceptions, but it is rather unpleasant to sit with yet another someone who says "ye,yeyyeyeye,ye,ye,ye,ye" to all you say and then starts talking about their own enormously important company and/or life in a way too loud tone. Which is basically what I see the average expat do everywhere (besides the not listening to others, I was like that too). Again matter of taste and exceptions, just saying I do not find talking to expats giving you much or any info about a what a place 'is really like'.

Comparing users talking on reddit to being invited into a home is pretty ridiculous on its face.
Use better type-checking?
Reddit has long enjoyed a level of perceived subversiveness that helped it seem cool. It almost paradoxically seems that reddit has become too edgy for the mainstream by housing /r/The_Donald, and now way more Big Brother than subversive after this. If it has to embrace one philosophy going forward, it's going to get a lot more sanitized and will lose a lot of its original allure.

From the fact that those slack logs were leaked, and from reading their contents, there's some significant internal turmoil among Reddit admins that this has only enflamed further. They REALLY want to ban /r/The_Donald. They are extremely frustrated with spez.

Then if /u/spez resigns, the biggest advocate (ironically enough) for not banning /r/The_Donald will not be in the way anymore. Recognizing this, it's possible that spez stays on for the wild ride of banning T_D and then leaves it to the next CEO to run the new reddit husk.

I'm not sure how reddit ever worked, however. Maybe it'll survive this just fine.
