The facts may be true (and personally, I believe they are), but the text itself is awful.

It has circular logic in it:

* Thesis "Pao hates women" — I expect it to be proven in the following points.

* Some proof...

* Some more proof...

* Some proof of the opposite — but as we know, Ellen Pao is a misogynist [so it's false, and now we don't consider this fact anymore]

And overall, it's written more like a propaganda piece than an actual analysis.

Thanks a million! Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on how I can make it more useful!

...and if you don't mind leaving a review I'd be really grateful! :)
A lot of this will come down to splitting hairs. If you do it on your own computer at home with your own resources, its almost certain you will be fine. If you do it during company time using software they paid for and getting your coworkers to help on company time, they will probably be entitled to some part of the proceeds.

Peak Reddit was 2011-2014. The people running the 'business' just don't realize it yet. Three years from now, Reddit will be half as influential as it has been these past three years.

A community like Reddit is incredibly challenging to keep balanced long-term. Services like it just tend to blow-up eventually. The upside is, innovation will probably come out of its meltdown, new types of services will bloom, and wipe out what's left of Reddit's value proposition.

Base money is 3% of all money. Go ahead pull the lot out. It won't matter. Only parking meters that can't take cards will feel it.

Reserves are unconstrained as banks lend to each other after creating credit via deposits from borrowers. If two banks create 400k and then each borrower buys land with this 400k and the seller then deposits the fresh "money" with one another's bank they have 400k credit. Demand is pulled forward and the credit will be destroyed only when it is paid down.

Money supply since the end of the gold standard (I'm not a goldbug) has rocketed. What constrained the near vertical rise? Nothing.

You already could do that with postgres hstore, I think, but postgres hstore is limited to a flat list of key/values, not nested data structures like json.

I've been wishing for a while though that Rails ActiveRecord would support the atomic partial update operations inside hstore that postgres already does.

Your opening argument precludes a huge amount of critical empirical information. Comparing how policies work out in other countries isn't perfect, but it's the only way to know anything about how they operate in the real world other than actually implementing the policy in your own country. And that's a chicken-and-egg thing, because why would you try a different policy direction if there's no evidence that it works?

I understand the impulse behind American Exceptionalism, but it looks to me like a recipe for gridlocked ideology, because instead of evidence from other countries, one can only argue using abstract theories...

...which is what I'd categorize most of the rest of your post. All the excel spreadsheets and econ papers in the world aren't going to hold sway with me against the significant numerical evidence that if you're anything but rich in the US, you're probably better off in a number of other countries. Yes of course there are meaningful differences between countries, but leisure hours, bankruptcies due to medical reasons, violent crime rates - these and many more are very universal and can be compared.

Furthermore, even if the US is incomparable, most other countries (for example New Zealand or Canada) are much more similar to Norway than the US, and should be following policies that have been successful for the later, not the former.

In terms of the failed social policies of the US and Greece, I would put that down to poor governance. Better designed policies in the same vein have succeeded, demonstrably, in other countries.

So while I appreciate the time you've taken to write your post, there's nothing in it that lends weight to your argument that leftist policies result in a worse place. The US, even the Democrats, are right of centre. If things were better in Reagan's past, you can't pin it on leftism. Since his time, they've reduced business taxes, reduced progressive taxation, and failed to implement leftist programs like universal healthcare. Yes, things are worse for the median American - this is what the left predicted. Things have gotten better for the average Swede in the same time period.

Of course, you seem to be arguing that governments in general make things worse the more that they are involved. But it's very easy to come up with an imaginary system of governance that is better than the status quo. That's what Marx did. It's a completely different thing to see it work in practice, and if you've got an example of a functioning society where the averge person doesn't suffer for the lack of environmental, labour, etc. regulations, and from the lack of universal education and healthcare, I would love to see it.

Finally, that "Just think. Don't follow. Lead." line. I know you mean it to be inspiring, but implying that I hold these opinions because I haven't considered them deeply, or that I've been brainwashed, just isn't productive.

Spare us, Reddit's been mismanaged for long before Ms Pao started there. Just look at Alexis Ohanian's (kn0thing) comments[0]. Not to mention the celeb nudes debacle, which was allowed then disallowed and announced by a sysadmin [1]. And the then CEO Yishan Wong publicly fighting with a former employee [2]. Then we can go way back to /r/jailbait and the Violentacrez affair, the only mod to be awarded a golden trophy [3]. I could keep going but I think we're good.

> This is just amazingly tone-deaf on Reddit's part.

They do not think like a business. They are a storage mechanism for other peoples content which their users generously provide for them to index. They don't make content, they don't generate revenue, they are stuck in a web2.0 model being valued on a per user basis. Reddit probably can't recover as community, but almost certainly not as a business.

> What is Ellen Pao paying attention to

Ideally the calls for her resignation, but it is to little to late probably.
Ah, misunderstood. Yes, they do contribute to the economy, and to their employers. But many people don't see it that way.

I think "passionate" is most often just a polite way of saying "we want you to work long hours."
That is a good description of the Californian situation, but does not necessarily apply everywhere.
Is French fluency required?
According to kn0thing, it's a shame, "but so it goes". And then there's the implication that they're all sitting back and enjoying popcorn while Reddit consumes itself.

reddit is one of the simplest and easiest sites for a new user to learn to use. Somehow, Ellen Pao doesn't know how to use reddit, nevermind what the culture and community that has built over a decade truly means.

She meant to send someone a pm but did a selfpost instead and then hurriedly erased it and banned everyone that responded to the selfpost:

Won't matter. There's no real lock-in among text / link content communities. They're trivial to build, there will never be a lack of new variations. Reddit doesn't even have possession of the vast media (youtube, imgur) that gets posted to its service, making it that much easier to replace.

Imgur will probably see among the greatest benefit as Reddit erodes.
Interesting fact w/r/t how pissed people are at him on Reddit: people have gone back and downvoted every single one of his comments now, to the point that several pages back his comments (typically which get upvoted like crazy) are in the negatives.

This seems over blown
voat is a clone; but I don't think reddit as a platform is strong enough. I think it works for a lot of things (obviously) but other things it sucks terribly at.

Still, getting communities right is hard. Obviously. I have something in the works but, it's fairly different, and you know how these things can go south.

But i think this is good. it will spur innovation in the space, and thats good for everyone. Well, except reddit.
I work in the silicon valley and I got quite a few promotion offers denied because I'm a white male and that's not promoting diversity. Heck, I didn't even mind it so much as long as the other candidates are +- qualified.

But by that logic, I guess I should sue! ;-) Oh wait...
The point is that it didn't work, so exponentiation was out the window.
Well, buying votes is the nature of politics. I happen to think that the left is far more despicable than the right because they claim to be for the little guys and the poor, use and abuse them for votes and then toss them aside until the next election. What's incomprehensible is that the masses keep getting duped and and the come back with more votes.

And, BTW, I am not only pointing the finger at the US political system. This is true almost everywhere. The particularly nasty examples are in most of Latin America, where the ruling parties (all leftists, socialists) play the masses like finely tuned violins, keep getting voted into office and all the get in return is more misery. Every single politician walks away rich, entitled, protected from legal repercussions. Talk about the 1 percent.

Despicable.
More likely investors are getting restless and want to see some return. In these cases management feels it needs to have things under its control and starts removing power bases from lower down the org chart so that everything stays on message. AMA is Reddit's only viable asset so having it under control of someone who isn't part of the management clique is unthinkable.

Usually these attempts fail and the company is dead within 24 months having burned the village in an attempt to save the village.

> basically everything you said

It isn't about the firing. It is about subverting posts, subverting ideologies, deleting subs, limiting free speech in general and having an ambiguous morality/decision making process that is impossible to trust. Hiring Pao was so stupid. Leaving aside whether she was qualified, you can't lead a team that doesn't respect or relate to you.

> this is a huge vote of "no confidence" towards the admins in general

Right, that's why I'm confused. If n is the number of pixels, then 4 million operations would be linear-time as far as I can tell. Wonder if the author took n to be the width/height of the image.

That's a good ask. I wasn't trying to be snarky. I really don't understand it that well and I don't think it means as much coming from an Asian person. And honestly I'm not comfortable arguing about it on a public forum.
I HAVE formulated an opinion on this. Further to what pauldix said, a push infrastructure seems more the way to go from my own experiences both as a consumer and would-be implementer of metric pipelines. It's far easier to put a pull-to-push system in front of a push infrastructure than to bolt on a push gateway in front of a pull infrastructure.. It's actually very bizarre IMHO when comparing to how people utilize Kafka and other pipeline supporting services.. To me, the pull has been the Achilles heel of prometheus. I haven't looked at it recently but shortly after it came out the push gateway, which you would have thought was where you were to push stuff, was not suitable as an actual push gateway and rolling your own was recommended.

> isn't any tools for vetting questions

Questions get voted up or down. Either Reddit has a problem with being gamed and trolls can successfully get their questions upvoted, or that's what the audience wanted.
I read the post and I don't see any "bugs" pointed out per-se.
Odd RC Plane
Regardless of the AGPL vs Apache debate, isn't it extremely poor practice to retroactively decide how votes are to be interpreted? The manner of weighting would have changed the voter turnout: e.g. if high-donaters know their votes would be weighted higher, then there may have been greater turnout among high donaters, or may have even been uproar by the low donaters.
3 sounds interesting to me as well.
im not sure if it matters what happened in the past per se... its the amount, the type, etc.:

once something start to be massively as "bad" and the content is generated by those users seeing it as "bad" it just stops being what it was. It's like saying Firefox or IE aren't good browser. IE is a pretty good browser nowaday, but that's an unpopular opinion.

It feels like reddit is going to reach this point now...
This implosion has got me thinking - what would an alternative site to better? How could this be improved?

That link also illustrates how utterly hateful some parts of the Reddit community is. Being a Reddit admin must be really frustrating.

Your quote is misleading. The "at no charge" refers only to providing access to a server at no charge. If you wish you can provide the source and charge what it costs to physically perform the copy.

The intent is to provide access to the source code for no more than what you charged for access to the service itself. It doesn't mean that you necessarily will be out of pocket.

Putting your changes on GitHub or the equivalent and providing a link would satisfy the requirement completely. This is not exactly an onerous requirement unless your intent is to keep your changes secret.

The "That seems ... bad" part, really depends on your point of view, I guess. Letting all my temps, vendors, and contractors have access to this code means that any of them can inspect it for problems, learn from it, fix bugs, improve it for themselves and help others improve it.

That seems ... good ... to me, anyway.

At worst, they'll do nothing and I won't be any worse off. Of course, if I'm relying on secret source code to obfuscate my security holes, then perhaps I'll be in trouble, but I'm not about to do that. At best, I've turned my users into collaborators.

Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you think this is bad.
PowerShell execution policy is not a security layer/boundary. It's just a simple mechanism to stop people unintentionally shooting themselves in the foot; it won't stop other people intentionally shooting you in the foot.
the questions is somewhat ambiguous. it would be more interesting to see what happens of people really understood the question and if they had a real motivation to get it correct.
For years I have been looking for a tool like this. With my Photoshop templates I easily spend an afternoon or a day designing and exporting App Store screenshots. And even small changes could mean starting over the export process.

I'm going to offer a wild suggestion - What if reddit is being purposefully dismantled to break up the social hive it represents? Is it possible that current events are he fruition of a purposeful strategy?
You can still use 6.x as a base layer inside the container, just not on the host OS.
It's also a nice example of how being the single point of failure for something doesn't provide as much job security as some seem to think.

"Cracker" has nothing to do with what article describes,or what Stallman, Raymond and others want it to mean. "Cracker" has very technical definition: subclass of hackers, who is involved only in removing of copy protection in commercial software and making keygens; "crackers" are the original creators of the demoscene, because cracks often included visual/sound effects; also the industry of reverse engineering has roots in cracking.
Imagine if you will that database projects do exist, but don't come with easy to deploy documentation. What you have is stuff in source code tarballs and a vague idea of what dependencies you will need and what versions. You can't just `apt-get install mysql-server` and be done. You have to compile the stuff from scratch. Download a tarball, run `./configure && make`, wait ten minutes, come back to see that some dependency wasn't met, download that, `./configure && make` that, find yet another dependency. And this in some cases is the superior method to the RPM hell you might encounter. Oh and don't forget to supply all the necessary configuration flags to get the features you need, or else you won't be able to use the thing you just installed.

If all you want to do is run a small project, or a big one where performance matters and you have deadlines, you might just "do it by hand" and simply create your own pseudo-database out of flat files, memory dumps, whatever.
Reddit is a pretty terrible business. Discussion boards in general are a terrible business. Redditors can migrate anywhere they want, but the question is where are they welcome, particularly in volume? voat is begging for money, fighting with paypal, and being forced to kill wannabe kiddy porn / jailbait.

I'm sure reddit would be super tore up if the fat haters, racists, and jailbait traders left :rolleyes:
It's too bad Voat (reddit alternative) is having so many technical problems, because this would have been the perfect opportunity to shill it.

Upwork freelancer never gave me work
I paid upwork programmer weekly/hourly and he did 4 weeks of work. Very long story short, he gave me estimate that proved off by 400% so I stopped the work and filed complaint with upwork. Upwork finally concluded that they could no longer get in touch with the freelancer so there was nothing they could do other than suspend his account. I lost $5,000 and received no work. What should I do?
I've been saying that the Scarlet Letter Administration of Pao are "paper tigers swimming in a barrel of incompetence"

But today's tone deafness astounds even me. They have no allies left.

They also immediately destroyed the narrative that reddit just hates Pao because she's a woman. Victoria was one of the most popular and well respected admins ever.

Even the tinfoil hats at /r/conspiracy trusted her not to manipulate.

Is there anyone left NOT mad at reddit now? Maybe SubredditDrama....

http://i.imgur.com/6qa9K4R.jpg
If you try building a realtime single page app using Meteor and measure the amount of time it took you to complete it, you'll find that the hype is justified.
It is a 2 way street. The community can be nasty but they do not treat every admin this way. Consider Victoria who was just fired. The whole shenanigan today isn't really about her but about the way the mods are being treated. But my point is that the community really appreciated her work and her approach.

When you come in and right off the bat are condescending, haughty, and tone-deaf, as well as non-transparent, then don't be surprised if the internet is harsh.

This is not to say I condone in any way shape or form the hateful things being said about Pao or others. I do however understand the dynamic and see how they had a very active role in creating the reaction.

For example, consider if she had admitted her mistake and gasp! appeared human and asked for some patience while she learned the ropes. Imagine for a moment that instead, she didn't censor or remove the comments but relished the mistake, laughed at herself, posted a funny selfie and didn't try to hide it. Just a hypothetical scenario, that's all.

She would appear normal, human and worthy of empathy. But when she doubles down and erases it, censors and bans people and doesn't address it. Are you surprised that the worst elements see these qualities and judge her harshly as a non-symapthetic figure who holds massive power over them with opacity, arbitrariness and condescension?

Consider this analogy, if you don't know anything about bees and see a swarm on your tree branch, do you go apeshit and start screaming and swinging at the bees with a stick? and then go inside crying about how you are a 'victim' because the bees stung you hundreds of times?

Another approach would be to learn a bit about beekeeping or hire a beekeeper who would know what to do. They would come in, treat the bees with the due attention and care, give them a new nuc [1] as a home and then enjoy years of delicious honey.

An intelligent person would make their choice.

A person who is driven by a cocktail of incompetence, entitlement and playing the victim would also make their choice.
