And yet reddit is corporate-owned, being hailed ITT as "the mainstream media", and there's plenty of evidence of senior Reddit moderators showing solidarity for the more criminal subreddits. Defending Reddit's dark side by comparing it to the wild world of message boards and comment sections is disingenuous: Reddit has a pervasive culture of "free speech" at all costs, and this is a consequence of it
Does mutually inclusive just mean the same? E.g. If A includes B and B includes A then A = B.

I don't have a sense of smell (technically it's called anosmia for the curious), and I completely agree. I find that most wine, especially red wine, is fairly bad. White wine seems to be more consistent, but after reading this article and some of the comments I wonder if it's because it's usually refrigerated.

I've never done a blind red/white test. That sounds like an interesting project for the weekend. I should put a bottle of red in the fridge.

Beer, on the other hand, is something that is both more consistent and more varied. And usually cheaper.
People. It's made of people.
I was in the same boat as you a while back (maybe 7-8 years ago). My brother bought me one of these: http://www.deckkeyboards.com/product_info.php?products_id=30

It works great and looks cool too. I'm still using it as well and find the size perfect, although it did take a little getting use to.
Not only is linked in creepy...it sucks.

Hopefully Yahoo will buy them and shut them down and then we can ignore it forever like everything else Yahoo does.
The key for Yahoo would be using those acquihires well.

1) Assume these people still want to do startups. Make sure there are concrete things they can achieve in 1-2 years; you probably have no chance of retaining most of them for 4 years, or longer.

2) Revolving door (like Cisco has) is probably worthwhile to establish. As long as you're buying at decent prices, there's nothing wrong with this. Buying someone 2-3 times in a decade is still a win.

3) Optimize for reducing the negatives of joining Yahoo. Yahoo used to split up productive teams; maybe let people remain as startup teams but then put them on existing products/lines of business, rather than splitting up great teams. I think this would make Yahoo more attractive (and maybe reduce the premium Yahoo has to offer over Facebook/Google for the more competitive acquihire deals)
> Subreddits are not moderated by reddit employees, only by the people who founded the subreddit and whoever they choose to moderate the subreddit with them

That's still moderation - the article didn't say that the moderation was from admins or reddit staff. Also, there are reddit-wide rules[0] that apply regardless of sub.

Also, r/atheism isn't a hate group. There's plenty of asshats and the occasional hateful post, but it's not a hate group in general. Take a look at the sub[1] on any given day, and most of it isn't hateful

1) They used prepaid cards so your account wound't have been effected. They did it intentionally so that they wouldn't hit account limits.

2) The vast majority of ATMs have cameras. I would guess (only a guess) that all of the locations they hit had cameras to pull the max amount of cash.

3) If they didn't have cameras in the ATM, they were certainly cameras nearby. Likely the mistake they made was covering their face, but using a vehicle (since they had to hit a lot fast) with a mask on and some other camera got their plates.

But..., your idea of using not just visible light has merit and I hope someone figures out how to implement it.
I use both regularly, but considering the investments involved I would say that I "switched to emacs" and vim is simply there when I need it.

I agree with your tips but the one thing I would add is that if you're worried about porting your vim plugins, don't. I use evil and the evil-plugins you listed happily, but beyond those awaits a vast world of emacs plugins from hordes of emacs.d hoarders, ready to eval your kinkiest, textiest dreams.

Basically, don't get hung up on plugins. They exist because they don't make up the core of your editor, and if you find yourself liking emacs even a little bit then it is very likely you'll find a suitable replacement for each of those functions.

By the way, there are many resources available for getting academic papers; you didn't mention Google Scholar, which is a great resource, but that wouldn't have helped here, but fortunately there are Russian sites and there are a number of groups dedicated to jailbreaking papers on request such as Reddit's /r/scholar or Wikipedia's Resource Request.
You're completely right. I was too focused on the fact that 2FA doesn't text you every time you log in, meaning a 2FA user wouldn't find a google login prompt without a text code requirement abnormal. They couldn't login from their own machines - that's the whole point! Silly me.

A lot of those memes start off at 4chan or elsewhere before arriving on Reddit.

It is also gamed regularly, although I'm not sure how it compares to other popular sites. Upvotes are cheap to buy, and the type of feel-good stories that propagate are easy to mimic. Early up/down votes also have a hugely disproportionate effect, so cheating by getting friends/employees/social group to upvote your content is very effective - and has been abused blatantly enough by some companies to get banned altogether from the site.
The "aww shucks" card isn't going to fly. This is very much a content marketing campaign and HN is the soapbox right now.

I've seen this with some of my kids. In my day, home was a safe sanctuary. The internet and associated hardware has penetrated the sanctity of the home, and its no longer a safe haven from the nasty harsh out side world.

The internet has destroyed that. IMHO, it is the single worst thing the internet has done.

I sincerely hope no one suggests that parents should exclude their kids from the internet which allows the bullys to win and control cyber space. Worse still, it then excludes them from the friends they might still have, and a lot of things the victim can use to fight back, and distract them selves from the nastiness. The internet is more good than bad.

I think laws for cyber bullying should have harsher penalties than normal face to face bullying. Face to face stuff is limited by physical proximity and time, cyber bullying can be 24/7. If bullied at school, the kid can escape it by going home after school, and not being there at weekends. With cyber bullying, you might not even get an evening off, let alone a week end.
> saying how the expensive wine was good, but they "weren't quite sure", so down rated it

This actually seems perfectly valid to me. One of the universal qualities of "expensive-tasting" things is that their tastes are usually complex--it takes a while to work through exactly what makes them good. They're meant to also be good in the "food" sense, yes, but more than anything, they're supposed to be art--of the kind you would stand in a gallery analyzing, trying to figure out how the time and place of its creation influenced its style, etc.

With no training, you'll usually ignore flavor entirely, and just go for the wine that has the most sugar and a decent amount of alcohol. It might not actually be the one you most prefer in the moment (though it certainly could be)--but when you're asked for a rating, it's the one you can justify, and our post-hoc justifications for preferences frequently overwrite our (weaker) memories of experiential preferences.

Guess where Reddit takes its memes from?
You're drastically overestimating how many people care about startups (and will pay for a product related to them). This is a small market and VC as an asset class is shrinking (so it's getting smaller). VCs are terribly intuition driven and the good ones already do what you're thinking of and they'e good at it. And even if they bought, it's less than 50.

If you're trying to build one of those shoot for the moon startups (the kinds VCs like), this idea won't be it.

Not being a hater.
Depends. By and large, Ioannidis's paper is pointing out the basic consequences of the alpha and beta parameters in Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing, so there's a very good argument that this paper is merely statistics, and statistics is generally considered to be mathematics, and mathematics not science but its own thing.

Small changes now can lead to bigger changes over time, and generally don't generate complacency like you seem to fear.

I'll let you take that up with the authors. Until it's settled, we can all just reflect on whether reading stories has helped us, personally, better understand and empathize with others.
Look at my second paragraph. :)
This is the wrong counter-argument, I think. Top schools get such a number of applicants that they have to turn away a fair number of qualified candidates, and once you are in and are not totally socially inept you can't help but make the connections that will get you set for life. Luck plays a great part at this stage, even though it's anathema to say.

If anyone wants to test the tiger-mother theory they should perhaps look at people who got into decent schools and follow up how they did.
> My guess is that if you included all test results, that reject the null hypothesis or not, and are published or not, then the reproducibility rate would be closer to 90%-95%.

No; you need to bring in power, not just assume an alpha of 0.05 and a base-rate of real results of 20%. (Consider the recent neuroscience paper estimating the experiments average a power of like 0.3...)
Sure, in that case, yeah. But we're talking about a US general in the US military where that hasn't happened. Your comment expands the scope and context of the conversation, and obviously conclusions wouldn't necessarily be the same in that case.
This is actually quite funny - the author obviously chased numbers and by inference prestige of the wine. Yeah, the reviews are BS, but who cares?

I don't drink wine for the label or points it earned. In fact, my favorite wine comes from a region known for sacrilegious levels of fruitiness (Paso Robles) and I really enjoy being able to taste/smell the barrel toasting (a no-no in refined wines).

Bottom line, I enjoy every second of this experience, whether it's real or in my head, I really don't care... And neither should you! :)
I remember reading this NYT article on Elizabeth Shin's tragic suicide:

Not in the slightest. As a counter-example, challenging food and music comes to mind.
> I wish that my bank would let me set a message to pop up whenever withdrawals over a certain amount (or percentage) are made.

ING Direct does exactly this!

I get an email (text messages possible too) every time I make a purchase over a certain amount that I've chosen. You can set the limit as low as $1 if you really wanted to, so you can be notified of literally every single debit card purchase.

This forward thinking is one of the many benefits (no fees EVER being another) I've enjoyed and why I love banking with them.

Online banking is definitely the future, or at least will grow to be a much larger part of it.

From the submission: "Reddit's longtime tagline is 'The front page of the internet,' but it could just as easily be 'The crib sheet for weary bloggers who need to hit page-view quotas.'"

Yep. I've learned mostly to tune out any incidental mention I see of such "stories" in the news-seeking methods I use. I'm not a fan of linkbait-style stories wherever they come from.

"If you regularly read Reddit, it makes the rest of the internet seem stale."

I don't regularly read Reddit, so I don't put the hypothesis of this statement to the test, but I find plenty of interesting things to read online without Reddit, so I think I can live without Reddit.

"Simon Dumenco is the 'Media Guy' media columnist for Advertising Age."

Snap - CI - the missing link between Github and Heroku
I think it's important to distinguish wine reviews done for the sake of properly pairing a wine with the people who prefer that wine (clustering analysis, basically), with reviews that try to rank all wines on some sort of single-axis quantitative measurement (i.e. the Parker scale.)

The former is useful--read a review, see a bunch of adjectives you prefer in your wines attached to something, go out and buy it where you otherwise wouldn't have, enjoy yourself. The latter, though, is agreed by even the majority of the wine journalism industry to be a disgrace, driving prices both up and down by creating an artificial power-law ranking for wines, where the (good!) wines in the middle are ignored in favor of everyone competing over $3500 bottles that happen to get 99 arbitrary "points."
> Is the author trying to defend reddit's holier art thou attitude towards the world

Reddit is not a person. What are you trying to say? That all of reddit's 400 million users have the same thoughts and attitude?

The author is trying to say that 400 million people is such a large sample of humanity that classing them as "redditors" instead of just "humans" doesn't add anything.
"We let you send first and upload later.".... which is to say, you can't actually upload faster (no installed software is going to give me more upstream bandwidth). They just let you prep the e-mail that will get fired off when it does eventually upload (note the 23 mins remaning text on the upload in the example video).

I applaud the attitude but I LOATHE the lying and misleading.

Certain commenting schemes lend themselves to "loudest retard gets most visibility" and some attempt to steer towards the opposite.
As far as I'm concerned, letting a bunch of people you don't know moderate the pages that constitute the face of your website is as bad as no moderation at all.

Just because there's an implicit agreement that subreddit moderators need to obey reddit's rules doesn't mean they have to. If someone does something like posting someone's personal information, the little report button on their post goes to the moderators, who the site admins have trust to actually delete infringing posts. If someone posts something bad and the moderator is half assed or doesn't care, there's no way to get that post removed unless one of the admins stumble upon it or if you were to send the admins a message (I dunno if this would even be reliable).
I hope that one day you too will grow as a person, and regret that.

Luckily for you, all you did was post words semi-anonymously, not a video that identifies you to your friends, peers and colleagues. You are unlikely to ever be held to account, congratulated or hated, personally, day to day, for your words.

More over, today we know a lot more about the consequences of these things. They had no idea back then. Its wrong to apply today's standards tot he past.
