thanks for that, will check it out.
Good points, just thought I'd mention that Mozilla Labs shut down a while ago.
There is actually a pretty interesting solution in production today, you can use Vagrant and Docker to implement a containerized service system where 'priority' containers get resources in preference to non-priority ones. From the perspective of mainframe computing this problem was solved pretty much as a minimum viable feature (at the time mainframes had hard limits on things like getting billing jobs done before 6AM and other batch jobs got 'best effort' sorts of treatment) We have so many more tools now than they did, and hardware support too.

I couldn't agree with you more. The bad parts of reddit are what push me away. Of course there are some smaller subreddits that actually value quality content, but if they somehow grow to 'default' subreddit status then things seem to go downhill quickly.

Hopefully you publish some of your findings down the road. I'm interested to hear more.

Co-operatives have existed for a long time.
The thing is there need to be something like Reddit that is not controlled at all by a company or corporation but completely by the users.
Perfect example is r/nfl censoring the Bill Simmons story last week.
Such a backpedal from Windows 8's metro. Windows 7 almost made the title bars non ugly and now we're back to Windows 95 style title bars.
Bingo! This is a stunt to make people who do bad think they're going to be safe. It is all just a clever act. For those who believe this and do bad and get caught, ha!
My reply is... "What about the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution?"

Would we really be having these discussions if Americans (speaking as an American here) were better-educated on our own rights, our own foundation, the very fibers of our own history?

I mean, this is such a simple amendment, so crystal-clear and eloquent. After reading it (see below), how can there possibly be any doubt as to how the proverbial wool is being pulled over our eyes?

Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

> The admin team has shown again and again that they're willing to tolerate anything until there's bad PR.

They frame it quite differently--they broadly want to support legal free speech, even ugly free speech. They do so up until the point it would be impossible to do so without damaging the company.

What do you prefer them to do?
Nope. They could use a warrant to compel the sender or the recipient of the messages to unlock them or face jail time. But Apple doesn't have the keys.
This is my view. Law enforcement from the Feds on down have lost the trust of the American people.

They have lied to us, misrepresented what they are doing and now use the scoundrel's argument "what about the children?". The growing threat of a mass surveillance govt is real and in the long run a bigger threat to freedom than the so-called terrorist. I find the idea of a mass surveillance govt more terrifying than a few religious nuts with bombs or even hijacked planes.

admin transparency can lead to vociferous site-wide meta nonsense and it can also get toxic very quickly.
The difference now is that there can be dozens of different secure communication apps that the user can install. Potentially run on servers outside of the particular agency's jurisdiction.

This is a much more difficult situation for the agencies than when RIM/Blackberry ran all the messaging through their own service.

CodeGuard has not been purchased by EIG, and we apologize that you had a poor support interaction. It is possible that your experience was an anomaly; recently CodeGuard started tracking support ticket customer feedback scores, and the overall score is 95% right now. Also, CodeGuard recently surveyed our customer base, and the net promoter score (NPS) was over 50, which indicates a high level of customer satisfaction.

CodeGuard's focus, now more than ever, is on our agency, developer, and designer customers who are using CodeGuard for their clients.

I can follow that reasoning, though I always looked at their Windows 8 features were 'best' statements as pure marketing instead of an actual assertion (you know, like commercials for washing powder which somehow gets better than the previous version every couple of months) - no way everyone at MS was really considering it 'best'. The idea of the hybrid-style OS isn't all that bad, but the way it came out wasn't exactly top notch.
In this case it is more likely that the consultants were brought in to "independently" provide justification for something that had already been decided.
I've often wondered what made Steve Jobs say that "Programming teachers you how to think" and here's what I've come up with. Programmers think in terms of orders of magnitude and have a strong ability to branch out.

Here's a good example:

My friend has a business selling essential oils (Eucalyptus, Lavender, Sandalwood) on Amazon. This turns out to be a pretty decent business for one simple freakonomics'ish reason I believe. Let me illustrate:

You can sell 10ML of oil:

http://www.amazon.com/Lavender-100%25-Therapeutic-Grade-Esse...

For nearly the same price as you can sell 3 times the amount:

http://www.amazon.com/Woolzies-Lavender-100%25-Pure-Essentia...

I think the reason for this discrepancy is people can't do conversions between milliliters and ounces in their head, and since they can't hold the oils in their hands and only have a picture for reference, they use the price itself to determine the value of what they're getting.

Now back to thinking like a programmer: Upon hearing this, a programmer's first instinct wouldn't be to start a competing line of business but rather would be to come up with a systematic way of scouring Amazon's entire inventory for a multitude of such arbitrage opportunities. He'd branch out to using weight in addition to volume.

In addition to exploring the details, programming gives you practice in seeing the big picture and branching out at all levels of the system.
There's so much work being done on reddit right now that users don't like, don't won't or don't care about while things that users and mods need to effectively run their subs and enjoy the site (like better anti-spam measures, finer grained control on user behavior, disabled downvote buttons, logging of user activity so you can see who trolls are) aren't appearing.

When prioritizing what gets developed, does anybody think that not showing up/down votes will bring more users or would an option to disable downvote buttons on a breast cancer survivor support group sub so that it feels like a safer place to share make more sense?

Then there was that weird relationship with imgur (quickly becoming another major social network), where they were violating all kinds of content and promotion policies but were given free reign to do whatever and for the longest time nobody could figure out how imgur was funding itself. Oh, it turns out reddit is an investor in imgur.

http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/03/after-five-years-of-bootstr...

Then there's all kinds of weird censorship policies, where entire groups of users and subs discussing bad things are killed but lists of subs involving rape, death, beastiality and various other horrible things sit around just fine.

And you get half-assed explanations like https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/2foivo/every_man_is_r...

Reddit's problem is that it doesn't really have a universal set of consistent policies, except for one, don't do anything to make us look bad in the press, everything else is random and capricious.

I think lots of users would like to go somewhere else, but the network effect on reddit is effectively acting as a network lock-in. There's plenty of other aggregator sites, but they can't get traction with the 9000 lb gorilla in the room. It would be very hard for another digg->reddit shift to happen unless reddit does something on the order of the digg debacle to piss off the entire userbase.
"Surely you must understand that the intersection of people that want to run graphical manipulation software and have the time and expertise to work on the GIMP codebase is rather small?"

Of course I do, and those people will be faced with an uncomfortable choice, suffer the 'free' tool or pay for access to the 'non free' tool. And the people who run the 'non free' tool will use that money to pay engineers to improve it. And the engineers working on the 'free' tool will do so without remuneration or reward other than knowing they built something they like.
Lets hope for a subreddit controlling it. No really, have the users control it. Really.

Yes, yes, trolls, hacked accounts, wall street manipulators, sock puppets, 4chan, 14 year olds, etc.

But, I mean, wow, just imagine the flame wars! It would be a beautiful fire of crazy. Have the insane fedora neckbeards actually try to get things together in a really real setting? The raw data files alone would be worth it. You'd glean so much, and in a Public setting. Yeah, Google does it already, but to let all of us join in on the analysis of the decision making process? I dare say it: You'd be able to determine how an internet-type true democracy would work. Hash out representatives, the whole deal.

Give it to the users, reveal just how dumb we all are in a herd.

Why do you think that? Bill Gates has certainly never said anything to that effect.

This seems less ridiculous than the Malaria one, but I would still be surprised if anyone I knew said something this silly.

The myopic views you are projecting onto other people may exist in a few, but I don't think that they are common.
What matters to the planet are the totals, I agree with your point that Americans have standards of living that needs to be improved, but I don't buy the argument that measures should be per unit land or per capita, because this is not the case.

A large SUV won't dump as much CO2 as industrial manufacturing, for example.
My impression has always been that people misuse the term live tiles to mean the general interface. While I've heard people complain about about the "live tile interface", I don't think I've actually heard a complaint about live tiles vs static icons.

These two things can be true at the same time:

> This kind of nervous uncertainty among devs is bad for the platform.

> The platform is thriving.

It is difficult to argue that this kind of activity on Apple's part creates uncertainty. Apple weighs this as a trade-off. What is consistent about Apple is that they err on the side of the user; or at least what they perceive to be of benefit to the user.

That is what many of these disagreements come down to.

Yishan Wong has a big vision for what reddit can be. I’m excited to watch it play out.

Wow, seriously? He's talking about the guy who spewed this nonsense[0]:

We understand the harm that misusing our site does to the victims of this theft, and we deeply sympathize.

Having said that, we are unlikely to make changes to our existing site content policies in response to this specific event.

The reason is because we consider ourselves not just a company running a website where one can post links and discuss them, but the government of a new type of community.

If Sam wants to hitch his wagon to this wash-your-hands-of-responsibility-while-reaping-the-profits attitude, that's his business, but's it's fucking reprehensible.

> I'm asserting that progress will be them becoming more like us,

You know, having been thinking about this very extensively over the past few months, I disagree. The American populace, with its great freedoms, is now becoming a prisoner to the corporate worlds -- interestingly , the corporate and governmental parts so often increasingly seem intertwined that it would be fine calling them one (certainly at least in the limitations of this context). The subjugation of large amounts of people in a BNW-fasion I think should be just as actively recognized as a very bad thing as classical authoritarian oppression is. Make no mistakes, that we are being screwed in a massively pernicious way -- when Facebook exploits the cognitive weaknesses of a fat woman by showing her an ad for a fat-loss pill which will probably hurt her more than help her, that's very bad. It's not action being performed by the US gov't, but so far as I'm concerned it certainly is being enabled and arguably abetted by it. Progress for HK, Singapore, etc. should not be them becoming more like us -- the thought of that is terrifying. Since spending a lot of time with my Chinese co-workers, I've come to deeply respect their diligence in work and in being committed to providing for their family in a wholesome manner -- I think Facebook et al. has the potential to bring this to ruin, I hope that never happens.

Sorry, all of this is a very weak and sloppy defense of what I'm arguing and thinking right now -- I'll write more when I get done with work. Basically, I'm very concerned with eroding values in America - as this erosion is permitted and encouraged by the US gov't, but I don't know how to express this without being relegated as some "think of the children" Helen Lovejoy personality.
I wish that Reddit would actually copy HN's about box and remove the 10:1 rule for submissions. This include killing Anonymity Rules from /r/talesfrom*.
I wonder. Elon Musk is not an idiot.

Then why did he say that to go to Alpha Century you needed 40 years? Why does he participate to this world wide disinformation?

Since 1904, we know that to go to Alpha Century, if you can accelerate to a non negligeable fraction of the speed of light, then you need a time that below the distance, and non negligeably close to zero.

In clear terms, to go to a star that is 4 light years away, with a 1 g constant accelleration, you need to travel for about 2 years.

If you put in space a nuclear reactor (that can produce energy for more than ten years), and if you can use that energy to produce constantly a 1g accelleration, then you can easily go to Alpha Century, in 2 years, spend 2 years there, and come back in 2 years, for a total travel of 6 years. Now tell me we can't with the current technology build a space ship that can work safely for 6 years!

Of course, when you come back to Earth, 82 years will have passed on Earth. I hope you put your saving in a good investment fund.

Anyways, I'm wondering why Elon Musk, amongst all others, is propagating this lie? It looks like quite a confirmation for a complot theorist...

I keep asking this, but it never gets much attention - but why can't reddit put more effort in to a hierarchical structure.

As others have said some of the best contents is in the smaller sub-reddits, but they often struggle to get much content because people feel that to get any "attention" they have to post in a sub-reddit. I feel people would be encouraged to submit to smaller sub-reddits if there was a hierarchical structure whereby if a story did well in a sub-reddit, it would get to the front page of the next sub-reddit above it - so I might submit to /r/Dundee which leads to /r/Scotland which leans to /r/UnitedKingdom etc

I'm sure there would be some clever way to structure and control this. It would breathe life in to the smaller sub-reddits.
Guy needs a hair cut.
What you see there is very early, I wrote that in a day, the point is to build on it and provide more shortcuts for things that suck to do/type in Debian. One thing I am planning to tackle on the long run is building packages, as in creating an option to install efemeral packages like you can with the AUR in Arch. Other than that, it's mostly a mapping with combined commands (`jogurto -Syu aptitude` updates, then upgrades, then installs aptitude). See it as a kind of alias file.

I wrote it because I love Arch package management, but I don't like the fragility of it, found that out the hard way... I try to bring most of the bliss over via this tool.

However, the lack of transparency can lead to baseless speculation, which can be just as toxic, if not worse.

Quote: "Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows."

You know, this is almost exactly how every version of Windows has been described, from the beginning to the present. I would have much preferred to hear something original: "The new windows is so much better in fact that there's no longer any reason to buy anti-virus and anti-malware software to deal with its defects."
One popular theory is that there is software out there that checks for Windows version == 6 instead of >= 6 when deciding to enable features for Vista and above. This was definitely true of libcurl at one point, for example.
