Why? Hackernews is way more heavily moderated and would never tolerate anything like those subreddits for a minute.
Like me, he is probably playing cautious before jumping on the systemd train. #butidontwannaupgradetorhel7!!!!
/r/all is not the front page. Reddit is at a scale at which this will probably blow over, likely for a better Reddit. Other teacup storms like the removal of /r/jailbait, their handling of 'the fappening' and gamergate don't seem have affected reddit much at all. It seems almost more like this

Wonder what MaRo and the gang thinks about this. I am pretty surprised at the results so far from that post. They mostly don't make sense but I'm sure if you went through say 100 of them you're bound to find one or two legitimate ideas in there.
You will doubtless learn, in your travels, that not every corporation will die on the hill staying true to the maximal interpretation of a throwaway sentence posted on their free service.
This isn't an actual solution though, because space is still limited. Bitcoin cannot be a currency if it can only fit 2,000 transactions per block. Even if everyone is willing to pay $100 in fees for their $1 transactions, they won't all fit, and that's broken.

The challenge is to find a way for miners to be incentivized and for them also to process all reasonable transactions. There's no reason miner's couldn't increase their fees independently of the block size increase.
I've seen plenty of these claims but far less in the way of actual removed content. My sense is that this is largely a myth used to stir up outrage.
A lot of beating around the bush; just say the US and/or Isreal did it.

We already know Duqu was made by the same people who made Stuxnet. We already know Stuxnet was made by the US and/or Isreal to hurt the Iranian nuclear program. So if they have strong evidence it was the same people... we know who those people are and we should just say their names.

Would love to see Google Closure compiler features combined with Webpack features. I want to easily:

- write ES2015
- compile with dead code elimination, static type checking etc, but super fast like webpack
- include npm modules easily
- include assets using something as simple as webpack's loader
you need two zero cost creatures and a way to sacrifice them for benefits, then just trade off. I can think of infinite mana with four cards.
Why Google shuts down Freebase
This. I was one from Digg to come to Reddit, but since then the quality of posts has gone to shit. Comments worse than Youtube sometimes.
Behavior of a well funded startup company's employee
"Strengthening the health care, retirement and unemployment insurance systems, so that workers feel more secure, might help lower the savings rate somewhat."

Translation:

We need to get 'em all on the dole but quick, because as innovation increases output per worker how can they possibly make the transition to higher paying jobs, what with all that dang savings to worry about. Wait...what?
Most people would not pay if the cost was fifty cents. But what if it was 0.1 cents? My desktop computer burns 0.1 cents in electricity every ten minutes.
Just cut your ties with all the main ones and keep around the few you like, I did that ages ago and while my front page is a lot slower it I still get good content and decent people, and I honestly had no idea this stuff was going on until I went on hacker news, so that's nice.
This is why the concept of free global internet bothers me, as I think it would up the ante in terms of surveillance.
> tutorials that assume you don't know how to read. The last point has been especially frustrating because what takes 45 minutes to learn from a video tutorial I could accomplish through reading in five.

This is far from unique to video game tools, sadly. There's this growing perception that people greatly prefer video tutorials. Which makes people who would rather read and think a little bit go crazy.

Every time there's a new release of Illustrator (my main tool), I end up pulling out my hair trying to find text descriptions of the new features rather than slow video overviews. And then there's Astute Graphics, who makes great AI plugins that they ONLY documented as videos for a while. Now they grudgingly have blog posts that sort of tell you how they work. Sort of.

It wasn't even removed by Reddit. It was removed by subreddit mods who essentially have full control of a sub. Anyone can create a sub and enforce their own curation or arbitrary rules which is not the same as censorship. From the sub sidebar:

>This is a curated space.
>The moderators reserve the right to remove posts, users, and comments at their own discretion.

If I create a subreddit where I ban all posts start with A, is that censorship, or is that freedom for me to run and build my online space as I wish?
This is a huge undertaking where public support and co-operation is paramount. They cannot come out one day and tell people what they have done and what to do. They need to give a heads up.

Is it only me or does HN take all announcements cynically?
That statement was posted 10 hours ago in their official announcement of these bans.

Would remaining true to their statement for one day really have killed them on the hill?
And now the hate is unconfined. The lesser nuclear solution to that problem would be to filter out undesirable content from /r/all to isolate it.
When you claim that an extreme emphasis on free speech originates from people who secretly wish to silence others, you might be inadvertently revealing something about yourself :-)

My idea of free speech is that large privately-owned communication networks shouldn't engage in censorship, just like the government. If you disagree with that, say goodbye to free speech on the internet, because most of it is privately owned. Large websites are already cooperating with each other in censorship, and it's only a matter of time before ISPs join as well.
That's not an especially useful comparsion.

If Google didn't let people search for what they wanted, they'd just go use a different search engine.

If reddit doesn't do what people want, there are other websites for them.
I laughed really hard at this. Have been in some hour-long "standups." :) IRC standups are pretty nice.
Those are industry sites, for professionals to use for their jobs. They're equivalent to academic journals. Bankers can pay Bloomberg $24,000/year for their terminal.
This is what I'm doing about it: http://i.imgur.com/E5tIRGg.png
If we accept the premise of Reddit not as a forum, but as a host, perhaps a more apt analogy would be other hosts.

For example, both AWS (http://aws.amazon.com/aup/) and Google (https://cloud.google.com/terms/aup) have very broad acceptable usage policies that allow for doing anything deemed legal by US law.
The "stupid, more vocal minority" has done for the word "feminist" what stupid, vocal minorities have done for other well-intentioned ideas like "Christian".
If internal, "hidden", policy is different from public, written, policy...the company can go fuck off.

Professional courtesy would be telling someone you want/need them for the next X months and making a real commitment to the worker instead of having a public policy of 'no obligations' while secretly expecting the worker to 'be a professional' and to show undue loyalty.
At Tesla/SpaceX, I would be working on an extremely exciting project.

I haven't been matched with a team at Google yet, but Google offers a lot of flexibility in location and project, so there are plenty of possibilities. I am an undergraduate though, so research heavy projects are unlikely.
You've got multiple advantages to learning a language as an adult as well, and there's really no reason to go through the extremely inefficient method of learning a new language the same way you did as a kid

1) You have the ability to translate. You already know the concepts and ideas - you don't have to abstract meaning from noises - you already know the meaning, you just have to correlate it

2) You understand grammar concepts. It may be quite different in your target language - I have been learning 日本語 for some time, and grammar is wildly different from English - but there's still a lot of things you only need to learn a few differences of, vs. having to learn the concepts from scratch

With our first language, we have to sit there and learn by what sounds right vs. what sounds wrong. This is so hilariously trial and error and completely inefficient that it makes the entire process far slower than it would be if we had any other way to do it.

How long does it take you to figure out verb conjugation the way you learn a first language? Quite some time. You probably don't get it fully right in all cases until you later enter classes that go over the grammar rules. In Japanese, I was conjugating verbs, including irregular and negative forms, at multiple politeness levels, in about two hours of learning conjugation. And I rarely made mistakes after that. Why? Because I already understand verb conjugation. It's a concept I have a solid grasp on in my native tongue, and only needed to learn a few new rules to graft onto the existing framework.
People comparing Apple and Google on everything forget that both companies are very different in their missions. It's not about right and wrong, it's just different.

I think you mean "I hope it will happen", because there is no evidence that it is actually happening.

If the people leaving are the obnoxious hate monger, bandwagoners, and other general trolls that's fine with me.

If Reddit wants to get some of the amazingly creepy stuff under control, I'm all for it.
How do you see who it was removed by?
But if the program has no knowledge, visibility or control of the native code, it effectively does not exist.
If you let a device cook for you every time, you're not going to learn anything, so the device's value proposition is safe. I've been taking cars to the mechanic for 15 years and haven't learned a thing about cars while doing so, even though I could have been.
I recommend you stand un-corrected.
> what opinions will be deemed unsafe next.

I think this is a little dramatic. It's not about censorship of "unsafe opinions" - you are free to hold your opinion and talk about it, just not on Reddit. It's akin to a hotel owner disallowing a Klan meeting in the conference room. I think any business owner deserves that right.

> The policies are not exactly clear-cut

I dunno, the blog post seems fairly clear cut to me. It's not about blocking content, it's about blocking subreddits whose sole purpose was harassment of individuals.
> IRC chatlog which essentially portrayed moot & mods cackling gleefully while rubbing their hands together like James Bond villains.

To be fair, I kind of always assumed that moot and mods did what they did solely for the shits and giggles they themselves got out of it.

It's not like they were running a distinguished web portal that would bring them fame, riches, and glory; they run the sewage pit of the Internet.
Censorship need not involve a government entity. Censorship is not equivalent to violating the First Amendment.
Falls under 'general welfare', Article I Section 8.
This is probably the best illustration of the 'no broken windows' theory at work on the web. You can start a new community and keep it 'clean' from day one, but you can't let your community turn into a cesspool and then one day decide to clean it up, the inmates will be able to achieve critical mass and they'll happily burn down the asylum if they can't have their cesspool back.

What I really don't get is that they choose these 5 subreddits to ban, reddit has at least 50 (and probably more) subreddits that are arguably a lot more offensive than the ones they just blocked.
Apache SINGA – a general distributed deep learning platform
Censorship is when the content has to be pre-approved by an authority in order to be published at all. If content is removed after it has been published (because it violates some agreements / ethics), that's moderation or "legal-stuff".

Of course, moderation can be misused to a point where it's almost effectively cencorship. But IMHO, the order matters here.
There's a movement of people who call themselves "Social Justice Warriors" (SJWs). They engage in activities that they claim are in support of race, gender and class equality but are in fact often racist or sexist. In general they seem to be hateful people damaging the causes they claim to fight for.

The #KillAllMen, #KillAllWhiteMen hashtags on Twitter are good examples of some of their activities.

Their backwards activism is often self-branded as "feminism", giving birth to things like #WomenAgainstFeminism. The definition of feminism has become sufficiently corrupted thanks to these people that women themselves are fighting against it.

I have a feeling it's their backwards "feminism" your parent commenter was referring to.
Personalised ads show what I just bought or viewed and never will buy as I bought something else. Non-personalized ads shouldn't show things what other people bought but it should show me things about the current page content or or the site topic. Show me pictures with links to amazon books about the programming language the article is about, etc.

I know a lot of (startup) companies are in that market and try to be helpful by big data grinding. But neither Google ads, nor any other personalised ads were useful at all to me. Ads that follow me around just because I visited a site two times is just very creepy and "forces" users to investigate how to block ads in the first place. If you work on a ads network please pivot to a "better ads" that allow website owners to install the ads service on their website - this is the only solution that will work despite an adblocker! So write an ad network in Go/Rust, be it a single executable, and website owners can simply add it to their website.

Only the information on Amazon.com below the product page that shows what other people who bought this product also bought works.
Making money is agenda number one for both companies regardless of what their respective PR departments say.
My two cents:

1) Reddit is a business and has certain interests at stake. If they want to seriously monetize their inventory (i.e., subreddits and pages), it needs to be with content that jives with advertisers. Odious content and sub-reddits are kryptonite to advertisers. Clorox doesn't want to see their advertising next to fat-shaming/racist/misogynistic horseshit.

2) Whether or not you think Reddit is suppressing "freedom of speech" is irrelevant (I personally don't think they are). What matters to Reddit is that those who contribute objectionable content according to advertisers leave the site, either because their subreddit has been shut down or because they find Reddit is suppressing their freedom of speech. All those pages were a cost to Reddit that had no chance of making money. When they're gone, they don't have to worry about them anymore. Reddit is probably rooting for other platforms, like Voat, to get traction so that people who want to post horseshit don't linger and leave immediately.
Alternatively, Reddit is trying to build a community around a bit more positivity, and has no obligation to continue dealing with bullies and fascists.

People can express their freedom of speech elsewhere, I am extremely pleased with reddit getting rid of the most egregious subreddits

I think you've misunderstood me; You don't need/want to share any connections that the old process has, only the listen socket. You 'steal' the socket, and then any 'accept' calls on the previous owners FD behave as if there were no calls, while new connections show up on the thief's socket FD.
Kaspersky has been a pain in the ass of the status quo because they are Russian and so it's difficult to control them and rein them in. Lots of exploits depends on the cooperation and complacency of security companies that are in the pocket of the various governments. Kaspersky wasn't one of these, or at least in the pockets of Russia, and so had to be compromised to try to control their oversight on security and to further the chances of exploits succeeding. Good on them for detecting the exploit, now they know that they are valid targets for this sort of thing.
Reddit admin staff don't touch any posts in subreddits unless it is something against the site rules like doxxing,personal info or child porn.

Some subs leave a flair or a moderator message on removed submission, if not you can modmail them and ask.

Every time I see this accusation against 3rd wave feminism, I realize the poster has no idea what 3rd wave feminism is.

2nd wave is the one which frightened insecure men, and had some strong anti porn and anti sex messages from a few proponents. 3rd wave, in short, is why don't we all get along, sex is awesome, and if we help men with some of their problems with toxic masculinity, then everyone is better off.

edit: Here's a good & brief overview of feminism's waves - http://www.pacificu.edu/about-us/news-events/three-waves-fem...
"With our business model (more on this later) our main <value proposition> is to help businesses deliver to their customers faster.

Less <jargon> in the sentences might be a good start.
I'm betting that a day/week/month from now, Reddit still lives on. Subreddits, which Digg did not have, would make Reddit resilient to such 'migrations'.
Personally, I don't feel like the payments should be called donations. It's like saying "please give us money out of the kindness of your heart or else we'll die" instead of "please acknowledge the value of the content you consumed so we can create more".

I am not sure why you are getting down-voted but this is very legitimate question.

The role of government is to provide for the infrastructure a society needs to prosper. Roads are a primary part of that infrastructure. If I could see how fast and conveniently goods and people are moving within a country, state, I could tell you how developed it is. I believe this has always been true. The old nations which had better ways of moving goods also had great power to some extent.

Other parts of this basic infrastructure the government should provide include: a legal system, protection, education and healthcare. Perhaps beyond this the government can keep clear and let private markets handle.
People always say that Reddit is fine, you just have to unsub from the defaults. That's nonsense. The defaults are representative of the userbase of the site, and their values seep into every crevice. Furthermore, Reddit has never actually been about "free speech". The vast, vast majority of people who browse Reddit don't do it because they can say whatever they want; they do it because it's an esay way to aggregate and consume light content. I mean, this should be obvious to anyone who uses Reddit with any frequency. The people who trot out the free speech defense — at least from what I routinely see on the site itself — are often exactly the ones who enjoy reading vile subs like /r/fatpeoplehate.

If Reddit can't survive this cleanup, then good fucking riddance.
I find it hard to imagine abrupt corrections happening in the western world. Everyone is just so very controlled. But then maybe people thought the same thing leading up to the French revolution 'only' 200 years ago? From my limited knowledge, the French had a stable aristocracy with a controlled populace. And then just a few years later the new powers were executing tens of thousands of citizens. That's crazy.

>historically this has never ended well for the company involved.

Really? Places like Something Awful ban for hate speech, and that site has continued existing for a while just fine.

The fact is banning of the worst of the worst makes life better for most of the users, and they're grateful. I can't think of a single community that has suffered overall from banning racists and mysoginists.

What I've seen is those banned people end up going to form their own little secret clubs, and it's just a cesspool of seething hatred. Fine, stay in your corner, means we don't have to deal with it.

> They need higher fees to compensate.

That's not an argument for any block size in particular, though. Saying that fee revenue is maximized at smaller blocks is positing that demand for block space (i.e. transaction demand) is relatively inelastic, whereas there isn't really any consensus or even much discussion on what the elasticity is.
