Apparently they must IPO this year. I think that's the underlying reason for all of the running round like a headless chicken.

Incompetence/stupidity are my leading hypotheses. But I don't care enough about reddit to give it much thought.

No. Good and evil are labels people attach to the emotions people feel about others' actions. They have surprisingly little predictive power on the hows and whys of behavior.

reddit Premium costs $6/month and eliminates ads. That's an upper bound on how much reddit values serving ads to users. Include an API key with reddit Premium that users can plug into the app of their choice. reddit gets the value per user, gets the analytics per-user, and it's hard to complain about price gouging given this was the previous price for ad-free service.

Can you cite a reference for that?

15 minutes? Why so long?

reddit's users are creating the content for the other users, so a drop in users means less or worse content. Doubt you could model easily with a demand chart.

I’ve released plenty under GPL. Not possible to assign to public domain everywhere.

That’s an option for a consumer who knows what a VLAN is, but mass-market appliances need to have some barrier to network access.

Apes love moralizing and being indignant. This joker wants to share open source code and restrict what other people do with it.

Perhaps it's too radical, but if this is the main concern, you could still build appliances with Linux that just aren't networked. Take a page out of Battlestar Galactica's playbook.

> People that reported talking longer on the phone had greater chances of hypertension.

The study depended on self-report? The solution is obviously to stop reporting that one talks on the phone.

Despite the popularity, there's nothing normal about smoking cigarettes.

In the future, we'll use racial slurs to ensure we're talking to humans.

Does your misspelling of “cash” mean anything other than signaling you know CS?

Count me among the people who don't trust you or the whole system. There are a lot of ways this could go wrong, when there's an alternative to turn off your phone in your own pocket. This is a sign that you live in a high-trust society, or at least think you do ...

Sounds like it's your account, but the name is misspelled.

Such sloppy reasoning from a site that pretends to care so much about rationality.

No attempt from the author to distinguish the effects of childhood from other things that might impact genius. Did he even consider alternative hypotheses for 5 minutes? Or how to distinguish effects from one another.

Not even getting into that this is a study of a list of people the author has heard of.

It’s more impressive that you spent 2 years as a 17-year-old.

How do you know that?

2009 was a simpler time.

You don't become a millionaire by spending a million dollars ...

Wow

I dare you to find those examples in the Terms and Conditions.

Because the user experience is that it doesn't work.

The best email app wouldn't ban you for an emoticon in Youtube chat or sending a medical photo to your doctor.

> Come to the Netherlands!

LOL, no thanks!

If that's what @dang meant, the guidelines should be clarified.

Yes, pretty easy. Keyboard-warrioring in general is.

But that's not the point. Victim blaming doesn't do any good for today's victim, but maybe it will help show the next person that their fate is under their control.

If you're still using Microsoft or Google services at this point, you deserve what you get.
