So the Reddit mob was utterly wrong about Ellen Pao's complicity?

And they had such a good track record up 'til now.

> Ellen's changes to hate speech rules caused some backlash

What changes to "hate speech rules?" Reddit still allows hate speech. What they curtailed were subreddits who existed primarily to harass people both on and off the site (e.g. other Reddit users, YouTubers, game streamers, people with public Facebook profiles, random members of the public, the entire Imgur staff, several Reddit admins, you name it).

That's why whenever this topic gets brought up people link to e.g. racist subreddits which still exist today, and then ask "well, why was XYZ banned, if those aren't?!" while entirely ignoring the fact that the banned subs were banned for HARASSMENT, not for having controversial opinions.

Subs still exist with the same controversial opinions as those who got banned. The difference is that the mods in the ones which survived actively follow Reddit's rules and don't harass innocent people. The mods on the banned ones were actively involved in the harassment and frankly should have been banned.
Using eval is gratuitous carelessness. At least a buffer overflow can be a mistake.
The backlash was centered around the lack of communication and heads up to the mod teams.

We don't know if it was "she needs to be fired right now, immediately" or if it was "she is not a part of future plans". If it's the former then you can put the blame on Alexis but if Pao was not being pressured to fire her immediately then she could have in theory worked with the mod teams before letting Victoria go.
With Pitchfork and Lollapalooza coming up, I built a quick tool to search for a set of artists and make a playlist of those band's most commonly played live songs. Useful for when you're planning to see 10 bands you "kind of know".

Feedback is welcome. I couldn't think of a good way to integrate with Spotify without requiring a user to input API credentials, so instead I output CSV files which are compatible with an (unrelated) tool I found, http://www.ivyishere.org/. Setlist data is scraped from setlist.fm.

For those commenting about why you would want to do this in the era of smartphone and apps: its useful in areas of low bandwidth.

I'm in IL typing this from a 2G mobile network. It's painfully slow, the data connection goes in and out. Loading my Twitter app is a feat of patience.

SMS works fine though, and getting and sending messages via 40404 is easy. If this is how you're used to using Twitter, why shouldn't you be able to interact this way on the web?
It reminds you of React because he's talking about React :)
Just doesn't make sense. Sure, quickly eliminate someone's role, but why immediately fire the person? Why not even try to transition the person to a new role? Was she employed as an independent contractor?

Reddit clearly has both plenty of money, and plenty of work to be done. This explanation doesn't add up at all.
In the grand scheme of things, not a lot of businesses use Apps for their email, but I'd hazard a guess that you're still looking at hundreds of millions of dollars in losses if that were to suddenly disappear.
Quick question, what would happen to games developed in Flash?

This one was among my favorites for a time: http://www.dofus.com/en
On the other hand, the CEO of a company should at least be vaguely aware of personnel changes that would affect strategic parts of their business. And AMAs are definitely strategic to Reddit.

The question then becomes whether Pao didn't know about it because she wasn't paying attention to her business, or because Ohanian and/or other parties deliberately hid the information from her until after the proverbial stuff had hit the fan. I'd consider the latter a fireable offense, but YMMV.

I'll leave aside the ad hominems, and address the core of your arguments.

From what I've read there appears to be consensus across the board that the Greeks approach to taxation is currently too complex, and reform of this tax system would be sensible.

With that said, there's a fundamental misunderstanding of what's happening with these loans. Read this...

http://jubileedebt.org.uk/reports-briefings/briefing/six-key...

"When the IMF, European and ECB bailouts began in 2010, €310 billion had been lent to the Greek government by reckless banks and the wider European financial sector. Since then, the ‘Troika’ of the IMF, EU and European Central Bank have lent €252 billion to the Greek government.[1] Of this, €34.5 billion of the bailout money was used to pay for various ‘sweeteners’ to get the private sector to accept the 2012 debt restructuring. €48.2 billion was used to bailout Greek banks following the restructuring, which did not discriminate between Greek and foreign private lenders. €149.2 billion has been spent on paying the original debts and interest from reckless lenders. This means less than 10% of the money has reached the people of Greece."

Furthermore, there's a common misconception that the Greeks are lazy, but the statistics show that they have the longest average working hours in Europe, and their average retirement age is not that different from the rest of Europe.

As for Argentina, yes they're not out of the woods yet, but since their economic crash they've had impressive growth. IIRC it's been the fastest growing economy in South America recently, I'm sure I could find the stats if you disputed this.

So, with all this in mind, why do you think more loans is the answer?
I have not read Blindsight or Echopraxia, they are on my list, but I did really enjoy the Rifters series. It is an interesting take on the whole dystopian genre. Starfish was excellent.
Ok, thanks. I should've read the guidelines more carefully.

We were already planning on posting a more detailed overview.

From the article:

> A grown man is knocked over by ankle-deep water moving at 6.7 miles an hour. The tsunami will be moving more than twice that fast when it arrives. Its height will vary with the contours of the coast, from twenty feet to more than a hundred feet.

That's on the coast, not in the sound, of course.
I can think of a few:

* Bug in the default XML parsing library that exposes local files, existence of local files, or even allows a user-supplied XML to open a socket to a remote server?
* Vulnerability in SecurityManager that allows a sandboxed jar more privileges than it is supposed to have?
* Allowing a default RMI-JMX configuration to provide an attack vector to authenticated clients whereby they can upload arbitrary code that executes outside of a SecurityManager?
In what sort of corporate governance model does an executive chairman make an operational decision to fire a line employee?
That would be quite dull considering pivoting has always been one of the most important business practices of startups...

While I love the idea of connectedness and convenience, I believe the reputation system described here would be a disaster and seriously hope the world is not heading in this direction.

Technical challenges aside, here are a few major problems with having this type of reputation measure for everything:

* It's a huge invasion of privacy. There's a reason why credit ratings are difficult to access.

* It's uni-dimensional. Some things don't measure that way, it's why the word "trade-off" exists.

* It's a serious limitation for the sub-optimal people/businesses out there. How will the socially-awkward people find dates? How would new businesses be able to make the necessary mistakes they need to in order to find a market fit without seriously damaging their information?

* How do you avoid people gaming the system to become more "reputable"? See https://www.google.com/search?q=why+I+left+stack+overflow

* It's a major hurdle for those who do not yet have any reputation: those who are from outside the system such as new businesses, or don't know the system such as new immigrants and non-early adopters.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Even the Lisp Machines had unsafe subprimitives you could call if you needed to and knew what you were doing.
>* Much of the software development you will do in the plain vanilla business world is not very analytical, interesting, or exciting. Many companies are very slow moving*

From what I've seen this is mostly because these companies are run by non-technical people or technical people who lost their technical skills. They're slow moving because they're conservative and scared.

>your ability to influence that is going to be nil if you're just writing their software.

This. Very much this. If you aren't into building larger systems and systems thinking you're going to get commoditized and shoved into a pure developer role with little influence.
We'll post some links, thanks for the suggestion.
To expand about university: it's my personal experience so ymmv

Almost nothing in my curricula mapped to anything I worked afterward, and I am very glad of that. They forced me to learn how to think, how to solve problem, and gave me a set of analytical tools to understand the software world.

True, I had to figure out java and javascript and aLl the other stuff on the gritty nitty details of programming myself, but I learned a lot faster than people attending work skill universities how to not work by coincidence and how to solve the real problem of software development of which coding is actually the very minor part.

I'm amazed when I see people lost in coding while that is actually the less relevant part of the job.
Microsoft Strikes New Tone for Windows 10 Release
> It is the nature of the role of CEO that you're going to take the heat for all company decisions. That's one of the justifications for their outsized compensation. Greater risk = greater reward. No one is forced to be CEO and being an executive essentially means you live your life on the line every day. It's not for everyone.

I rather doubt that Ellen Pao's job description included "Dive under the bus to cover up bad decisions of coworkers too cowardly to own them."

Stop making excuses for assholes.
well, letting any moron (even high placed/influential one) to fire your employees is a sign of really bad CEO. Not that i expected any different from Pao given her previous tenure at Kleiner. She seems to constantly search what a&& to kiss and constantly kisses the wrong one (because there can't be a right one :)
Looking forward to hearing more about it when you're ready to share
Interesting, I didn't realize that. We bought both of them new from the carrier a few months apart. We each just asked for an inexpensive model of the respective brands, so I guess that is largely down to the Nexus 5 being crazy cheap and Apple keeping the 4S in circulation for a long time.
Reddit isn't Twitter or Facebook where a post on the wall is fine. Reddit is a discussion platform which requires a bigger time commitment.

Having the goal to have celebrities / famous figures be part of the reddit community seems rather naive. Given the time commitment, it would seem that the pool of potential AmA's would dry up. Also, having Victoria do the leg work would seem familiar to celebrities who would view it as normal to have an event handler.
Syriza government is laughably incompetent. They had 6 months to introduce a cryptocurrency and remove reliance on ECB for running internal economy and exports. They also had 6 months to start reforms to reduce bloated government spending and invest to reduce food imports.

Instead, they let ECB take Greek deposits as hostage, wasted 6 months on negotiations before imposing capital controls, did not get anything in return for not vetoing the Russian sanctions and signed a deal that is worse than any worst case scenario from the default. After the deal, they will give ECB direct control of Greek economic sovereignity. And 50 billion of state assets as a repayment for interest on the debt that is essentially permanent! With only vague promises of haircuts sometime in the future.

In 3 years after this new deal, Greece will likely lose 20% of its GDP and 10% of its population, as anyone with a brain will try to emigrate. That is if Greek people do not object to this deal, which seems highly unlikely.

There is lots of time to browse the web between compile time and startup time of slow programs, and waiting for meetings, and making changes to environment, and waiting for environments to be brought up, and sitting in meetings.

I don't like just browsing the web though. I'd honestly rather be working hard and caring about my work.
This is true, I've seen one-liners in ruby that will make your eyes bleed. As I've matured as a developer I've felt the need to write less lines to code, but also to be very clear and explicit. I think there's an appropriate balance somewhere.
No, I would tell them to talk to as many technical people as possible, and look for one who proves able to:

a) understand their vision
b) improve on their vision
c) get some respect from other technical people

With a) being the crucial step, and if they can't get past that there might be a problem with their vision.
I think the headline would be much better like, "Wikileaks Global Intelligence File Dump Contains a Great Deal of Malicious Software."

The problem is "loaded" which has two rather different meanings in this context. "X is loaded with Y" can just mean that X contains a lot of Y, but it can also mean that someone loaded a lot of Y into X. If you go for the second meaning, which is an entirely natural reading of the original headline, then the headline is saying "Someone (such as the NSA or their friends) put a lot of malware into this stuff."

As to the "why" question (which for the record was not mine) I don't think it's justifiable to use a misleading headline just because the information is important. Although I imagine the misleading nature of this headline was entirely unintentional.
It is specific to AWS services. It protects you from going after ABC company who is using an AWS service (that you also use) that infringes on your IP.

In other words if Amazon stole something and you use it, you can't go after another client of Amazon's for using that service.

If however they also infringed on you, you could, as you aren't going after them for using the service.

(Note that IANAL so my understanding my be incorrect)

Dana was astonished by the change in his own lifetime (which spanned the gold-rush period). Some editions of the book include "Twenty-Four Years After." This is an epilogue written after Dana revisited many of the sites featured in the book. He finds flourishing cities where there were once lone missions and empty beaches.
Partly because the Greek state forced them to buy Greek treasury bills (until the ECB put a stop to it). They are worthless at the current CCC- rating.

That's one of the reasons why they are most likely insolvent.

They are illiquid (have no cash money) because too much cash money has been withdrawn (and the ECB stopped raising the Emergency Liquidity Assistance debt ceiling at 89G€).

If they are actually insolvent, then it was most likely illegal for the ECB to continue the ELA for so long, but they (along with everybody else but the Greeks) did their utmost to keep the situation from getting worse.

Yea, this is exactly because of the security problems.

Yep - but the state space is usually huge, so it helps to:

- expand it in physical space (as in article) to see main variants
- fuzz it (= expand/project randomly onto time axis) to catch errors visually
Both you and Erica are correct in identifying the problem with the attitude; but trying to teach them technology is wrong. Or, if you find that word too obnoxious, a waste of time and effort.

My point is: if someone is willing to learn, teach them what to look for. If they're not, ignore them.

So we're in agreement. :-)
We don't actually know if that's what happened, this is based on a potentially disgruntled opinion of a former CEO.

Secondly, "Dive under the bus to cover up bad decisions of coworkers too cowardly to own them." is almost the precise definition of what the CEO role is. You represent the whole company for better or worse. You are the face of the company.
What's wrong with providing one dump without malware, and a second dump of just the infected files, which when put together gives you the whole thing? That way you have full disclosure, the people who want the infected files can easily get it, and the people who don't want it can easily avoid it.
> None of the major problems have been addressed: Greece's debt load is unchanged, as well as its affinity for patronage and tax evasion.

Yishan Wong 2 days ago:

> Here's one.

> In 2006, reddit was sold to Conde Nast. It was soon obvious to many that the sale had been premature, the site was unmanaged and under-resourced under the old-media giant who simply didn't understand it and could never realize its full potential, so the founders and their allies in Y-Combinator (where reddit had been born) hatched an audacious plan to re-extract reddit from the clutches of the 100-year-old media conglomerate.

> Together with Sam Altman, they recruited a young up-and-coming technology manager with social media credentials. Alexis, who was on the interview panel for the new reddit CEO, would reject all other candidates except this one. The manager was to insist as a condition of taking the job that Conde Nast would have to give up significant ownership of the company, first to employees by justifying the need for equity to be able to hire top talent, bringing in Silicon Valley insiders to help run the company. After continuing to grow the company, he would then further dilute Conde Nast's ownership by raising money from a syndicate of Silicon Valley investors led by Sam Altman, now the President of Y-Combinator itself, who in the process would take a seat on the board.

> Once this was done, he and his team would manufacture a series of otherwise-improbable leadership crises, forcing the new board to scramble to find a new CEO, allowing Altman to use his position on the board to advocate for the re-introduction of the old founders, installing them on the board and as CEO, thus returning the company to their control and relegating Conde Nast to a position as minority shareholder.

> JUST KIDDING. There's no way that could happen.

Alexis Ohanian has long been a proponent of viral marketing and native advertising on reddit. It's a very common thing for companies and movie stars to do AMA's in order to promote whatever they're working on. I'm willing to bet Ohanian wanted to make AMA's of this sort pay to play if they already weren't, which led to some friction with Victoria. (Of course this is only a theory.)

Here's him talking about marketing.

Interesting. It's the first I've heard of it.

IIRC, it was also known from the beginning that the r/ShitNiggersSay et al. were banned, not for being offensive, but for doxxing people in violation of Reddit's few explicit rules. Once the mob locks on target, inconvenient little details like that tend to vanish.
It's really not uncommon for hateful children to have thin skin.
Sorry, brain fart, I meant Oracle
Edit: One box had really crazy, clever malware (backdoor IRC bot which was firmly detectable by NIDS (snort) and by remote nmap) which defeated local nmap, portmon and rootkitrevealer... and it was a 24x7 production oracle box (no HA or archive log mode master-slave repl) running the dining order, meals and inventory databases, so live cd / usb-hdd-specialized hdd dongle (better forensics) weren't possible.

2. Finally, I would've spent some cash on honeynet setups and cc: to item 0.
