"This might be the case for traditional media, but social media is different. "

Please explain. Unlike "traditional social media" Reddit is organized into "like-minded" or themed mini-communities. Advertisers certainly know the type of content posted to these communities.
I wonder if they couldn't institute some scheme where they flag subs as "dirty" or some more politically correct term when those subs contain offensive but legal content.

This would allow showing advertisers a checkbox when they post an ad that asks whether they are okay with showing their ad on a dirty sub.

Pitch it to advertisers as you'll reach more people for the same cost, but your content may be shown by user posts that some may consider offensive.

While I imagine there is some bias among reddit's staff, because they're people and we all have bias, I don't think it's as simple as "right leaning = bad, left leaning = good". No one there is going to give you a hard time for discussing the influence of Catholicism on the views of William F. Buckley. Even Ann Coulter is in bounds, but the vile far-right 4chan garbage that some corners of reddit spew has no place in a civil forum.
>> content that isn’t advertising friendly and could be taken down.

That is a dangerous road. Today they might be taking down otherwise legal content with which advertisers do not want to be associated. Tomorrow they are being asked to remove content with which advertisers disagree. Suddenly my 1000-word rant on the evils of Microsoft's latest OS is being taken down. Rather than being a free space for discussion, reddit will have become just another moderated online forum where nothing of note ever happens.

Reddit's power comes from negative posts. Facebook and twitter makes headlines when people 'like' things a billion times. They lack the capacity for users to express anger objectively. Reddit makes headlines when it empowers 50,000 gamers to dump on EA. Advertisers like EA should be be paying for such feedback. They evidently already listen to it.
As mentioned above, Lambo is VW, but FCA retains Alfa and Maserati.
A correct answer is better than an answer someone is interested in. For example "Is Obama a Muslim?". Someone googling that might be interested in hearing something that reaffirms their preconceived notions, but we as a society would be better off if they were provided with correct information.
Japanese Train Leaves 20 Seconds Early. Cue the Abject Apologies
You shouldn't berate someone for essentially asking to back up claims.
Wait, what makes it different? There's the old adage that half of your advertising money is wasted, you just have no way of knowing which half. Why would you willingly spend it on putting your ads next to content you don't want to associate with your brand? It seems exceedingly likely that this is the half that isn't productive.

(This is also what I don't get about the Twitter fake-account-number business and the YouTube videos-targeting-children business - if I were an advertiser, I would have no interest in spending money advertising to bots or to young children. I would prefer to pay for ads in front of 4 million users I want to reach than in front of 5 million users, 1 million of whom I don't want to reach. Why are advertisers not pushing back hard on inflation of account metrics?)
I think the GP had it: Key stakeholders were not interested in a real bug bounty. The bug bounty project was a Public Relations exercise.

Being able to say "we have a $30,000 bug bounty program and nobody has claimed it" would be extremely attractive.
Probably referencing a bestof post that popped up a week or two ago. Someone found like 30 ban worthy comments.

Only think is, the vast majority were 1 point comments, some were negative, and the only one that had considerable upvotes was an anti-muslim comment on the thread about a terrorist attack (if someone's going to overreact, that's when).
Soulseek is still alive with the same system. The program does not make you share anything but users can disable sharing files with users who don't share files.

At least in 2012-14 Soulseek was very popular with extremely niche and obscure music fans (stuff not even on What.cd!). Not sure how it is now.
I have been wanting to know this as well. With both the roadster and the truck, the battery seems to be quite a bit more advanced than what we have seen previously. The car is smaller than a model 3 but has a battery that is more than twice the capacity of what they said was possible before.

It will be fascinating to find out what is actually behind these vehicles. On a pure specs basis, it sounds incredible.
Look at /r/politics right now, or any day of the week. Good luck finding one article that isn't about how Trump is literally Hitler. Whether you agree with it or not, I don't see how anyone can say it doesn't have an agenda.
No, you're not the only one. But, at the same time, it isn't always the absolute top priority. Right now I'm working on a couple of systems that have had a few mystery DLLs in them. Not necessarily anything lacking source code - it's around "somewhere" - but certainly things we've lacked the immediate capability to rebuild.

But those DLLs aren't the only, or the biggest, problems with the systems. Hence finding the source and building them from it isn't necessarily the top priority, although we are progressively doing exactly this.

Something tells me the sexist part of the joke was going to come out regardless of the racist part of it.
They'll have to dig themselves out of a pretty deep hole, reputation-wise. While there are specific subject subreddit with fantastic content, most of the regional subs they carry lots of news and politics have a well-earned reputation for racism and xenophobia, and the more discussion-oriented subs add in misogyny into the mix.

Only the subs with obsessively strict moderation like the science subs (or /r/Canada politics) seem to succeed in discussing issues without hatred.

Meanwhile, Twitter maintains mainstream acceptance despite being the online home of David Duke and various other infamous white supremacists.
Seeing how Tesla struggles with new car production I would love to see them take a role like Samsung; they can still make popular flagship cars, but they can also become a primary battery supplier to other automakers, just like Samsung has extremely popular flagship smartphones, but also is a primary supplier of parts like OLED screens. I think selling their battery tech could help them become and stay profitable while smoothing over the wrinkles they have in car production.

This could also free up cash flow to give them more resources to work on self driving tech. Honestly, the idea of an electric Honda or Subaru with a "Powered by Tesla" logo could seems really exciting.

combined with

The protocol was randomized exposure to cold showers. Presumably the control group had no recommended exposure to cold showers.

So, one explanation might be that the group able to successfully complete the study is a self-selecting group that may have stronger resistance to physical discomfort that they would also take fewer sick leave days despite feeling sick.

Whereas, individuals unable to complete the study are not as tolerant of physical discomfort and, so, are more likely to take sick days when feeling sick.

I really would like to know what constitutes a control group for this study.

To my mind, cold showers and sick days seem likely to be loosely correlated. This study does not seemed designed to determine whether people who take cold showers actually get sick less often than those who take hot showers.

Why would anyone think the internet is different? Complaining to advertisers has been very effective for a long time.
> You're right. Chalk it up to frustration in a different thread. My apologies.

Thank you for the apology; I understand the cumulative frustration bit. Hopefully I wasn't the cause of the frustration in the other thread.

> Again, do you have an alternative word?

I would say "disparate outcomes that correlate with race" or some such. I don't object to "systemic racism" when it specifically means "disparate outcomes caused by racism" (e.g., redlining and jim crow); however, it's often used as a blanket term for any racial disparity whether or not there is evidence that it's actually part of the system and not simply the result of different choices made by different groups, or an artifact of documented historical oppression. In the latter case, its effect is to shut down any conversation about the actual cause of the disparity, because anyone who questions the systemic racism explanation is guilty of endorsing racism.

So if that's not a weasel word, it's something similarly nefarious and inhibitive of dialog.

I really think all parties (or at least those who aren't threatened by advancing the dialog) are better served by clear, meaningful terms, and I don't think that's what we have with "systemic racism". Insofar as it means what you say, then it's grossly and widely misused, which has the same effect as if the word were meaningless to begin with.

Right, but the CEO of Reddit couldn't care less about that.
But who will protect the users from Reddit's CEO, who has admitted to editing posts to make his arguments look better, and suffered no consequences?
I'd also delete that comment, as it might harm any future legal defense.
One of the authors here. That's correct. The spillover to other sites is not studied.

Based on an (admittedly imperfectly) related paper with Stevie Chancellor & Munmun De Choudhury [1], I would expect that the spillover to other sites results in a 1) smaller, but 2) more committed group of users.

Anita Sarkeesian and Sargon of Akkad?
I've worked at an agency that went fully into Agile and Scrum.

When it worked well, we had a single sprint board with different product backlogs, with different PO's for each product (where possible). All dev work would go onto a single sprint board, and we'd all attack the highest priority story (where possible) until the dev work was complete. UX/UI were introduced into the team, and when it worked best they worked with the frontend developers to create designs and prototypes to be signed off, and this went through typical backlog grooming until it was ready to go fully into the sprint.

In my experience, Scrum only works in an agency environment when "the process" is strict. All ceremonies/meetings run for the amount of time required, all clients are aware of the process and have a product owner on hand to speak to, standups are kept short and purely as a technical update, rather than a reporting meeting, and sprints are worked out properly and never overloaded, with sprint points being adjusted based on velocity.

When we stuck to this process, everything worked brilliantly, and the way we worked felt more robust. Instead of everything coming across the line in one go, we were testing and releasing individual stories on time, and when things inevitably changed we adjusted where needed or told the client to wait until the next sprint.

Of course, over time our management took liberties. Standups were attended by account managers (who decided they were no longer product owners) and turned into 30 mins+ reporting meetings, sprint retros and reviews stopped, and sprint planning was reduced to an hour. Additionally, we were asked to deliver part-way through a sprint and to deliver to UAT with no testing. The difference in delivery was night and day. We went from a team that could deliver quickly with ample testing time and enough of a break between sprints to not feel stressed, to a team of cowboys that deliver buggy code.

I started a subreddit as a safe space for political and current events discussion, but the idea being that you will be temporarily banned for posting biased articles and op eds, titles that misrepresent statements, or comments that attack or do not add to the conversation.

I know it would be incredibly hard to moderate, at least at first. I'm just not sure there is really a desire for such a place since most subreddits seem to be safe-space/echo chambers.
It was opensourced, but apparently nobody wanted to maintain it for free. https://incubator.apache.org/wave
I like Elon Musk's presentation. It is nothing like Steve Jobs or any other CEO presentation. It seems like an enthusiast telling other the features and how cool it is. Also enjoyed the part that he told the audience to break the barriers and come and see it.
For me it was VRML. I was working with SGI (not for) in Hong Kong at the time and it was amazing what you could do with it. They were even pushing it for use in interactive 3D banner ads. I went to the Tokyo event where they streamed someone in a motion capture suit in Mountain View with the animated figure being rendered on a browser in Tokyo. Very cool stuff. I wish it had taken off.
The subs I've heard about banning were echo chambers dedicated to the idea that "this group of people I don't like ought to be [starved|exiled|thrown from helicopters|raped|enslaved]" and such things. If that makes you think the policy is "right leaning = bad, left leaning = good," that says some pretty nasty things about the modern right, doesn't it?

I have one too. The drawing/writing is pretty great, though once it's transferred back to a PC, the resolution seems kind of poor. Not too bad, but I'd like it to be smoother.

The only other major issue is software stability especially when reading. I've had it hardlock while reading something, then have to wait for the battery to drain because it won't respond to any input, then once I have it back up it forgot where I left off so I lost progress. So for the time being it sits, though once a software update or 2 come out I'll try again.

Nah, it's always been absurdly biased.

It's a horrific source on information on politics, which makes it sad that it is so popular. Unfortunately there are lots of subreddits like that. I can't read a thread in r/conspiracy without feeling bad about the human race. It's a fun (?) game to guess how people can spin any given event. Great rubbernecking material though.
As others were saying, the developers actively wanted to exclude disclosure the flood status of these plots to potential buyers. Eventually the city "compromised" with them to hide a one-sentence warning deep in the paperwork.

Now granted, this did not prevent the homeowners from doing their own due-diligence, but I really think that the city officials that agreed to this, and the developers that lobbied for it should all be taken to task for their actions (and I think this regardless of what happened during the hurricane).
Any way you slice it, demand is probably less than a tenth what it once was.

> This shows that power and political agendas trump peopl's alleged morality.

I'm not familiar with the incident, but I don't think it proves this. If the harassment was real, the organizers could just be incompetent/afraid of interfering/incapable of reading the situation. In which case they're perhaps not suitable for organizing, but doesn't mean it's political.
What rules do they violate? When a user posts something that violates Reddit rules and the moderators are notified, do they remedy the situation?

Yes. It is only human to be worried. They lose money on every car they sell. And the losses are accelerating. If you bought $TSLA at $300. And are looking to hold on for dear life. The next 12-24 months is gut check time.

But there is so much to be optimistic about! Uber or Lyft or Didi could place 100K size orders of Model 3s for their driverless fleets, with substantial support contracts, by 2019. Powerwalls may become standard components in emerging market power grids in the global sun belt. And envisioning charging stations as travel lounges or overnight rest stops is a stealth real estate and hospitality investment.

Tesla is acting as if the Model 3 will change the game. My personal bias is that the analysts are neglecting the raw consumer demand for this brave new electrical world. And if that holds true, continuing to raise cash to finance their production via stock, debt or pre-orders shouldn't be the hard part. Especially if 12 month price targets in the $350-375 range hold ;)
I'm a native speaker of German, and anytime someone wants to try their mediocre German on my, I cringe, and quickly move to English to move the conversation along.

Go back to right after all of this started and read some of their "public communications" (statements aimed at their customers, etc.).

IMO, they tried to make it sound like they were the victim and the browser vendors (especially Mozilla) were "picking on them". They were trying to shirk responsibility and minimize/downplay their own actions and "fuck ups" that got them in the position they found themselves in.

As an outsider reading along on m.d.s.p. as events unfolded, I got the impression that they thought they were going to quickly and easily "fix" everything just by saying "oops, sorry" and making a few changes. As they discovered, it doesn't work like that.

Google used to be a place (when it was really new) where you would always find what you were looking for within the 10 first responses because of the power of it's "Pigeon Ranking". I'm not claiming 97.4% in all cases but really often "I Feel Lucky" would be the right answer. Slowly this got gamed by people that wanted to have their sites there and this magic disappeared.

I imagine these selected answers will either come for a dwindling amount of sources of "truth", turning Google in a sort of Yahoo! with lots of handpicked results or again these algorithms will be gamed and we get the same mess as Google turned into where it was constantly fighting new waves of spam.
