"cyberwar" soften what may be a far worse situation. We may be witnessing the ignition -in slow-motion- of a generation defining global armed conflict. When it all finally goes hot nobody will remember how it started.

> Janet Yellen to call for XYZ My perception is that there is a marked increase in the someone "will do X", or "will call for Y", or "will ask for Z" type reporting. How about just report when it happens?

Remember that the people that create and enforce these rules are the same people in charge of all the other rules that govern San Franciscans' lives. Look carefully and you'll see the same designs in transportation, education ,

Maybe this is Volkswagen passive-aggressively mocking the American sustainability crowd.

Reminds me of the Netflix / Qwikster fiasco. They can still transform without changing their name. Less effort and resource on PR, more effort on the sustainability part.

What's the end game here? If she is a free person - is the end goal that she never works again, anywhere, ever? Or is the goal that Reddit allow their employees be targeted and bullied by users?
