He addresses this in his testimony when he talked about emissions standards in California affecting emissions standards across the US. I believe his words were, "We don't need two versions."

Often times regulations in one jurisdiction will impact behavior and equipment sold in other jurisdictions. This is especially true when the regulations are not particularly onerous, the jurisdiction with the regulations represents a large market relative to the total market, and the number of suppliers forced to comply with the regulations is limited.

I worked for a long time in the embedded networking equipment hardware business and was involved in the rollout of ROHS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Subst...

ROHS is a EU directive, but it had the larger effect of limiting hazardous substances in devices across the world. Manufacturers wanting to sell equipment into the EU had to get rid of stuff like lead solder and replace it with safer elements. It was simply too expensive for most hardware manufacturers to have two different manufacturing processes, one for the EU, and another for everyone else. So now in the USA you have a difficult time finding lead solder in new electronic devices, and it's because of the EU and ROHS.

Hardware device manufacturing these days is incredibly concentrated. These companies will abide by whatever regulations the USA or the EU forces them to abide by because they want to sell into these markets. And it's likely not cost effective for them to create parallel assembly for smaller markets.
IIRC the "fat people hate" sub was banned because they started doxxing people, which the admins considered crossed the line. It should have been banned earlier though.
You're more right than wrong. While they do change the speed, the changes were pre-planned and weren't adjusted to make up for timing issues (I.e. allowing down or speeding up so the flipbook / lipsync lines up).
> I can't imagine how stressful it must be to run Reddit. He made one mistake in a bad day, apologized for it, and now everyone's talking about it. Steve's way nicer and more professional than I am, so I would probably have messed up big time in his shoes.

If it was a mistake resulting from inaction one could attribute that to stress.

This was deliberate action. I assume/hope that this special mode of editing (without the "edited" asterisk signifier) isn't just the default "edit" button Spez gets for every post if he's logged in, but that he had to jump through a few hoops and "are you sure" boxes to get there (or maybe was it direct DB editing).

There's some things you just don't do with admin powers, lines you don't cross, not even for shits 'n giggles. And apparently he doesn't truly believe that, because the amounts of stress that would make one cross those lines are way beyond ability to function as a person, let alone CEO of Reddit.

I think you misjudged his professionalism.

Definitely. For example, compare these two Wired articles about the possibility of rigging the US election by hacking voting systems:

https://www.wired.com/2016/10/wireds-totally-legit-guide-rig... was from before the election and claimed that it would be virtually impossible, would require a conspiracy of thousands to get past all the safeguards, and was ridiculous.

https://www.wired.com/2016/11/hacked-not-audit-election-rest... after the election claims that actually, it's well established that they're hackable, and that the audits are so ineffective it's almost as though they're designed not to detect hacking.

Two completely contradictory positions, both backed up with an arsenal of facts and expert opinions and presented
as definite truth. All that changed is that the idea the election results could be hacked became anti-Trump rather than pro-Trump.

Being banned from Reddit is not being banned from the internet. You can setup PHPforum and run your own community. Reddit is a community of people, and a subset is making it worse for almost everyone else.

Places like Something Awful r Digg will ban people for being shitty and bad for the community. The community being, circularly, the set of people willing to use the website with such rules.

What's so special about Reddit that it doesn't need to cultivate the community?

If a group of friends get together all the time and then one of them is being a jerk all the time, that person stops getting invited. It's not censorship, it's unfriending.
It was a pretty serious breach as far as I remember. The assailing party was looking for specific accounts, and got what they were looking for. Just because they didn't take millions of records didn't mean that they didn't have access to them.

Google right after the NSA reveal started doubling up on their efforts to use encrypted links between servers within their data centers, leading me to believe that it could have been a lot worse - just get access to some non-critical host, and if the traffic is unencrypted, just hang out with a packet sniffer and just record all traffic passing by.

Google is much more vigilant with their security (not that they weren't before, just even more so) - It's better to not underestimate the extent of breaches.

> The software was actually developed correctly

Not quite. If you read the details about the case you can find that it didn't have the handler for the overflow in the calculations(!) It's similar to this case now that both were developed with under the assumptions "can't happen," in the sense, developed to be too brittle, for the inputs that were certainly possible to happen as soon as the trajectory (in the case of Ariane 5) or the duration of the spinning movement (this case now) doesn't match their initial test cases.

Still, the development, especially in this kind of projects, is always a balancing act to organize covering most of the cases that can go wrong. Murphy's law works against the whole organization. Given the amount of real problems, I'm still amazed that the Apollo 11 succeeded.

Or even that there weren't any really destructive "accidents" involving rockets with the nuclear warheads. Think about it, these are prone to the same problems any other computer-related projects are: the amount of the damage is effectively infinitely larger than the effort needed to start it.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/07/nuclear-weapon...

“These weapons are literally waiting for a short stream of computer signals to fire. They don’t care where these signals come from.”

“Their rocket engines are going ignite and their silo lids are going to blow off and they are going to lift off as soon as they have the equivalent of you or I putting in a couple of numbers and hitting enter three times.”

That's not how capitalism works, you know. The prices will go down. Look at the car you get today and compare it to a car 10 years ago. Bang per buck has increased while brands like Dacia are coming in from below.
> those are incredibly well built

you know that because (i assume) you have the technical knowledge.
Average people don't know which products of which brand may or may not be well built. But they do now that Apple products are generally of high quality.
Fascinating. I'm not sure I buy the left isn't just as gullible as the right. Or at least not without more proof?

Not proof, but an interesting analogy: The relative success of right- and left-wing talk radio. Right wing talk radio is a huge industry, left-wing is practically nonexistent. Maybe it points to an asymmetry in how left- and right-wingers consume information. Granted, it could also be related to other factors such as having spare time for listening to talk radio, or having a job that doesn't require much concentration.

I'd argue that, while most of reddit value is in the niche and heavily moderated subreddits, it's not where most of the eyeballs (revenue) is. If they start moderating heavily, deleting the jerk subredits, they are risking the ire of most of most their user base.

I bet they checked it a long time ago: How many of the users that hang out or lurk in those "jerk" subredits also participate in more civil subs? If those people where in their own jerky Venn circle with little superposition with the rest of reddit, I think they would have deleted those subs by now.

I can definitely confirm that robots are even replacing low-wage workers here in Guangdong Province area of China, especially in these dirty manual labor jobs that nobody likes to do anyway, like part painting production lines and surface grinding and polishing for die-cast parts. The local provincial government is actually encouraging this and has tax credits in place for companies that are automating in these somewhat-dirty factories, like the grinding-polishing factories. The factory owner of our primary die-casting partner even pitched me to invest in starting another company making these industrial robots. There is going to be a lot of low cost but capable robots coming in the next few years.

In a venn diagram of neo-nazi's and alt-right, I'm sure there would be plenty of overlap, if not neo-nazi's being a subset of the alt-right.

Carbon dating is not a magic bullet and would not work here. C14 dating can't be used to date samples more than 50,000 years ago because C14 has a relatively short half life and most of it would have decayed by then(0). Additionally, C14 dating doesn't work on fossils because much of the carbon has been replaced by different minerals.

Uranium lead dating is typically held as accurate for rocks between 1 million and 4.5 billion years ago, so they probably used this. However, there may not be any uranium in the fossil itself so they may have looked at stratigraphic layers of volcanic ash, which would have sufficient amounts of uranium, above or below the fossil to arrive at this date(1). This is really speculation without looking at the study where I'm sure they discuss it in detail.

reminds me of the story about Han van Meegeren, a Dutch painter and portraitist considered to be one of the most ingenious art forgers of the 20th century.

In May 1945, Van Meegeren was arrested, charged with collaborating with the enemy and imprisoned. His name had been traced to the sale made during WW II of what was then believed to be an authentic painting Vermeer to Nazi Field-Marshal Hermann Goering. Shortly after, to general disbelief, Van Meegeren came up with a very original defense against the accusation of collaboration, then punishable by death. He claimed that the painting, The Woman Taken in Adultery, was not a Vermeer but rather a forgery by his own hand. Moreover, since he had traded the false Vermeer for 200 original Dutch paintings seized by Goering in the beginning of he war, Van Meegeren believed that he was a national hero rather than a Nazi collaborator. He also claimed to have painted five other "Vermeers" as well as two "Pieter de Hoochs" all of which had surfaced on the art market since 1937.
This is a project I've been working on for a while. Dply allows you to quickly create a temporary cloud server (1CPU/512MB RAM/20GB SSD) for free. You can have one free server running at any time. Log in with your Github account and it will allow you to create your server using your Github ssh-key. Servers are free for 2 hours and expire after that time (unless you choose to add more time via credit card or bitcoin). It's a quick and easy way to demo some code on a live server or just play around with a few popular Linux distros.

We also provide the ability to create a button for your project allowing you to let people create a server with your service/project running on it for free to try it out. Create a yaml or bash user-data script and others can launch servers with it.

For the last 11 years on and off I've run a small Linux distribution. I work for a well known cloud host by day but in talking with users learned that it's a hassle sometimes to create an account, billing profile and all that when you just need to quickly test or share something so I built this in my free time.

Do you expect to make money on this?

Honestly, no idea. I have a decent credit grant that will cover free 2 hour servers for a while so it was worth trying out.

How do I log into my server?

All servers are created with ssh-key authentication only. You are provided the option to select from the ssh keys on your Github account when you create a server. Your key will be applied to the "root" account.

I am happy to answer any questions about dply.co and would love any feedback.
