It's definitely not encouraged on Reddit, one of the old notes of Redditquite is "if more than 10% of what you submit is your personal content, then you're probably a spammer."

Once, someone submitted one of my blog posts about a rather interesting bug in a AAA game to /r/programming. Over 1,000 net score. Out of curiosity, I submitted the same post myself to /r/games. -7 score.
It doesn't necessarily take a lot of money to homeschool children.

Maybe he meant he wants his kid to go to private school.
The latter, AFAIK. It has been some months since the product manager in question forwarded the question to us.

As for 1:1 NAT, we already support other solutions that have similar effects, such as scriptable proxying.
Actually, Reddit's FAQ[1] says:

> If over 10% of your submissions are your own site/content, you're almost certainly a spammer.

Zynga seems to be lining up the ducks to follow the 'social gaming' angle (i.e facebook slots). They just acquired another slot machine design group the other week.

I'd watch for a complete pivot from them soon, including an eventual jettison of all the -ville games.
A bit off topic, but what's MEAN about that stack?
I have experience working with peers and working alone.

Normally I write better code when I am alone, or when my peers are exceptionally talented.

People believe they can change the environment, they can't. If you start working with people that are not motivated, you become unmotivated.

If you start working with messy programmers that create imperfect code with lots of bugs you will become the slave that spends 95% of their time fixing other people's bugs instead of creating new code, or you will just choose over time to program equally messy code.

Steve Jobs had this rule, based on experience making software: "everything new you create, you do with an extremely small team of star programmers". E.g the initial iOS team was over 20 people.
If we ignore any JS inserted by an attacker that has MITM abilities, then yes, but consider the innocuous case of someone typing in a form field and then changing their mind about what to say.

> If Snowden set foot on French territory, he would be sent back to the US in a matter of days.

That's false. There are a number of reasons in which France does not extradite to ally countries. For example, some italian terrorist have political asylum since 30 years (look for Marina Petrella). For example, if death penalty is possible, there will be no extradition.

I wasn't just talking about Siri.

Apple can customize the UI and the search results on iOS devices if they want. Apple can take Google's search results (without Google's ads) or Bing/Yahoo, format it, add information from Yelp, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, WolframAlpha, etc. Make this format the default "search results" and make it universally accessible from Siri, the browser, apps, and so on...
The same with Reddit.
The US has an extradition treaty with France since 2010.

"many [for-profit colleges] spend more on acquiring a single enrollment than on educating them."

According to the DoE, 4-year for-profit colleges spend 2.9x more on administrative expenses (albeit including student services and academic support) than instruction. Unfortunately I can't find a better breakdown of this category, but I'd assume this is mostly leadgen.

$5/mo per customer is too little for any business
Interesting early commentary here. As the story is pure speculation it brings out whatever is going on inside the commentators head. Sort of like flipping a coin to see which outcome you really want.

That said, its hard to turn around companies at the top because the existing staff has loyalties, processes are sometimes ingrained, and change has to be forced at first. Watching Marissa at Yahoo has been fascinating from that perspective. Mattick seems to have the experience to be the CEO of a games company but looking at various articles about him I don't get a read on his ability to force change. Zynga of course is suffering from lackluster stock performance (always bad for the CEO) and a bunch of bad PR.

My head is in that idealistic place where someone could turn an online game company into something that was both profitable and culturally respectable. I'm not holding my breath though for that to happen. :-)
Over the last 6 months or so I've been working with a small team to solve your email overload problem. We do this by fusing pattern recognition and data visualization in a cloud-powered mobile client that we call "Sailbox". Basically, our "secret sauce" prioritizes and separates incoming messages into semantically-related contextual groups; then, you can visually navigate the contextual space and easily swipe to take action on a group of related messages. The product isn't quite demo-worthy yet, we're still building out architecture, but it's close and I thought it would be worth mentioning here.

Sailbox is beginning early testing soon. If this is intriguing to you, please feel free to drop us a line at hello@solnovus.com and, well, say hello.

> You sound like you're stuck in 1982

No, look at Russia's geopolitical moves since the 1800's all the way until today. They have a buffer with China already called Siberia. And yes, they are concerned about China anyway (as well they should be).
This is a heavy-handed solution that could be better solved simply by adding more explanatory tooltips. Something like:

[x] Disable Javascript. This will break or significantly reduce the functionality of many websites, but will also prevent them from gathering marketing and other data on you. [Details](http://www.mozilla.org/javascript)

Make the primary tradeoffs clear, supply a link to a mozilla.org site with a more comprehensive explanation of what you give up and gain.

Programmers like to simplify, abstract, and modularize, but that isn't always the best strategy with language. Sometimes, even with control panel tooltips, it's better to be a little bit more verbose, take up a little more screen real estate, if it saves your users some trial-and-error time or a trip to Google.
This happened to me on Google Play -

http://bit.ly/129W8u2

It actually was more blatant before - my app had two reviews, one from "Michal", one from "Mi", both giving my app a 1 star rating (it has a 4.4 star rating average otherwise), and both suggesting users download a competing app. The username of the person that publishes that competing app is Michal.

In the comments suggestion of that competitor's app, someone complains how they spammed bad reviews for their competitors, so apparently we weren't the only target.

It's more amusing than annoying for us. We have over 500 reviews for that app, so their one or two bad reviews don't do much damage. Our file manager is a minor app for us, and we have over 250,000 downloads of it. Despite their efforts, their file manager has less than 50,000 downloads. Their time would probably be better served by listening to their customers and improving their app, as opposed to trying to run down the apps of their competitors.

From my informal analysis, a bad one-star review is most dangerous in the initial days after an app has been deployed. Once you have hundreds (or thousands) of reviews up already, people get diminishing returns in trashing competitors apps. I also think Google watches the install/uninstall ratio more closely than reviews, since it's easier to game the system with in-store reviews.
Ads on Facebook always remind me of a phone solicitor calling me when I'm eating dinner. I think people will have a limited tolerance for people pushing ads to them while they are talking to their friends and family.

I am working on am intelligent locker system that will first be debuting in the ski market. Customers can put their skis/snowboards and belongings into a locker, and can use a mobile phone, RFID card or CC as a form of authentication. We are doing a beta test this winter at a ski resort. http://mysnowgate.com
The goal of connecting people with value-providing businesses is a noble one, but the problem is the difficulty in using advertisements as reliable indicators of a product's merit. Economists have written about the prominence of advertisements as signaling mechanisms, but the bottom line is that I would rather rely on customer reviews than ad placement when it comes to determining if I want to buy a product.
Quickmeme was now netting the brothers around $1.6 million a month

So...say I have an idea which would allow me to drive a lot of traffic to my site from Reddit. How does one begin to monetize this traffic? Where do you start? Where do you go to find advertisers? I've always had a vague understanding how it worked, but if I really had an idea with lots of traffic generation today, I lack the real world understanding re: how to turn that traffic into dollars now.

Also, /r/AdviceAnimals all seem to link directly to images...so where would the page views for quickmeme come from? Were they generating $1.6M simply by showing ads to the meme creators?
And not to a hero's welcome, unfortunately for him and for the US.
4chan is bigger than all or most of those, not that I don't like these protocols.
In the search market, ANYTHING related to UI impacts clicks and views -- ever since it was repeatedly shown in study after study that after the top 2 results in the SERP click rates drop drastically.

It's not that organic search results are changing, but their VIEWABILITY, and therefore relative importance, is drastically altered
>instead they all cheat, bribe the teacher, etc.

This is wrong. Sure there are stories of Chinese students, parents and teachers cheating the system, but keep in mind that China is a country of whopping 1.3 billion people.
> How are we meant to handle AJAX requests that fetch data to display on the web page that allows users to achieve the goal of their visit?

Make the request from your server, parse it on your server, template it on your server, and deliver the HTML result to your user.

> Without JS enabled, that part of the page will be blank, and many modern, rich content-heavy sites now pull data from different places on the fly, it's just how it is.

Perhaps the developers of these modern, rich content-heavy sites can learn how to do their jobs properly?

> Is your idea of gracefully handling this situation putting a noscript tag there saying "please enable JS"?

No. It goes far deeper than that, naturally. Progressive enhancement ( https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/making-software/progressiv... ) is about defining what is considered the core experience, defining the true value your site offers to your users, identifying the use cases that are utterly essential. It's these features that should be _implemented_ in a way that doesn't depend on JavaScript. So you build this layer first, and get it working. Then, you identify the enhancements, user experience improvements, the bells & whistles, and use JavaScript to fill in those gaps. Confident in the knowledge that should the JavaScript fail (for a plethora of different and uncontrollable reasons) the core experience will continue working. Then you consider the nice-to-have features, and decide how much of that is appropriate to incorporate as a core-experience level, and what improvements can be made with JavaScript.

Ship him back? He knows a lot about secure IT systems in the USA. If they are smart, they will keep him around to advise their own signals intelligence / hacker people on how to penetrate US systems. Maybe feed him some propaganda, help to push him a bit further over the edge (this is a guy who was at one time a big believer in the NSA, after all).
Quickmeme used the infamous transparent JPG trick to prevent direct linking of images, forcing links on /r/AdviceAnimals to link to the page with ads.
If you are lucky, Matt Cutts (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Matt_Cutts) will read this and investigate with the Chrome team.
One of the fundamental issues with these discussions is that things such as what you're saying get thrown into the mix when we're talking about things we've actually seen evidence for.

We've, for a very long time, said things like, "this is probably happening". That is in no way whatsoever a novel idea. What is novel, and why these discussions are happening so frequently now, is that we have evidence that a 20mil/year program is actually happening.

So when we're talking about things we have evidence for, let's please avoid throwing in conjecture.

The thing is, they want a security guarantor that isn't Russia. Russia tends to dominate; the US tends to accelerate the economy. By having a US military presence, they are much more secure from domination by Russian interests (political, economic and security). This also means that western companies will feel more secure and invest further in their economies - something they all want because it brings rapid growth that tends to be better sustained.
In the short term, it is a waste to 'undeliver' mail so you can send it digitally.

However, if they can get some traction, it would drive a lot of direct mail advertising digital. I hope they make it work. There are still 80+ billion pieces of junk mail sent in the US each year.

My company (http://www.exemplartech.com) is working on this from the advertisers side but we need companies like Zumbox, Doxo, Manilla, and Outbox to get the consumers to change behavior.

It hurts in sales and it hurts in the gut. My app mostly has 4 and 5 star reviews, but it reached a wider audience recently after an update. Now the only reviews that appear are a recent pair of 1 and 2 star diatribes written by morons who barely turned it on before penning their illiterate, factually incorrect drivel.

It was never a high seller, but there's a clear and definite drop in sales after the 1 star review appeared.

I don't like how the app store makes it hard to find older reviews. I don't like how I can't comment on reviews. I don't like how I get no ability to reply through iTunes Connect to try and reach out to resolve any issues mentioned (when there are legitimate issues). I don't much like that the world is full of spiteful arseholes, either. Not much I can do about any of that unfortunately.
Ah yes, the classic overtly telling everyone that you are taking their information version of espionage!

Usually countries try to keep their spies in positions where they can continuing leaking information, and usually they try to hide the fact that they are obtaining the information. Anyone who thinks that this looks anything like espionage is either uninformed or a US government shill.
4chan is by no means censorship free. Their bars for entry and conduct are just lower than, say, here.
Always, always with the absurd "hurr durr slippery slope what about this nonsensical extreme" stuff. If you cannot fathom the difference between the Internet as a loose federation of servers and services on an open protocol and network, and the sharecropping and fencing-in of modern walled gardens, I have nothing to say to you. If you can't figure out how the latter position is more easily abused than the former, I can't help you.

As for the voice stuff--look, given that much data, why wouldn't you mine it to improve things like transcription and whatnot?

Curiously, I went back to Iceweasel from Chromium after the latter kept crashing reproducible on some sites – among them plus.google.com and many others with Flash. So far, I have no encountered Iceweasel to crash, and the dev tools are only slightly worse than Chromium’s.

Last time Opera crashed on me? Hmmm…
Not bugs, but features. And frankly -- sorry to be short -- everything Chrome has (or doesn't yet). I and my colleagues use just about everything.

I see a lot of these things landing in the FFs landing in the last week, so I can't commend those efforts enough. Literally, I don't want to have to ever install Firebug; it makes the browsing experience even more sluggish. And I would have probably never started using FF, a decade ago, if it wasn't for the tooling, and I would have never had a chance to convince as many friends and family to use FF. The same reasons I will just recommend Chrome, today.

Frankly, you will have to have something that Chrome doesn't to bring us back, and it's been a long time coming for the tooling to be even on par. Again, I commend your efforts, because I think your community involvement and dev blogs are really great.

On Windows Vista, 7 and 8, things installed into the Program Files directory can't be altered without UAC kicking in and requiring admin rights. That's why apps require admin rights to update. This prevents viruses and other things from altering installed apps unless it's using an unpatched security issue. To allow updates to be done without needing admin rights, Firefox installs an updater service that only it has access to and that can only update its own files. This allows updates without UAC/admin and while still preserving the Windows app security model.

Google Chrome gets installed into the APPDATA directory. In that location, any process running on the system under the current user can alter Chrome's files, since it isn't within Program Files and isn't subject to UAC/admin. This makes a standard Chrome install inherently less secure than Firefox, Opera, etc installed according to Windows' guidelines within Program Files. Google makes available another Chrome installer that installs into Program Files, but it isn't promoted to users (so they're unaware of the security differences) and it can't be updated without UAC/admin rights.
