What's that quote about when Digg invited them to lunch awhile back? That Digg had a few floors, and were blown away by the fact that Reddit's staff could fit in a car? I'm guessing the old Reddit guys aren't touching t

Well, functionally, that's the experience you get from Reddit via the "front page" -- all your little communities show up together, showing you what's "new". Of course, the problem is now that those "littl

Right? That's where I landed, but then realized that there's no enforceable way to do that. Have the moderators/an admin ban all the posts on AMA by people who... what, can pay? Make AMA pay-only to submit there? Nothing

Reddit is a community hosting site, according to some recent PR I read, so the idea is that, unlike HN or Twitter, you can create your own "Reddit", where you're part of 15-20 small HN-like communities. HN could be on Reddi

It's a free PR tool. Why shouldn't Reddit monetize it? Currently it costs the PR folks nothing to put them on Reddit, and gets them a decent chunk of exposure to a very-hard-to-advertise-to demographic. That being said, I

I think the above commenter was trying to suggest that the concept was thought to be cool, but on further examination, turned out not to be able to help very much in situations like what you experienced.

Two points -- what you're describing is a republic moreso than a democracy, and those are pretty sticky indeed. Reddit is also not a democracy -- it's a series of benevolent dictatorships, where the content is decided on by anarch

This is a terrible argument, mostly because it allows for the persecution of minorities. "You're a filthy commie?!? Isn't that something you want to hide!?!" Freedom of speech (the human right, not the legal right) s

I'm curious about your first two points -- are you privvy to information about those firings that the general public is not privy to? Because the general public, for legal reasons, is not privy to most of the information surrounding

There are reasons other than "I disagree with your specific comment" that a person might be downvoted. And do you know something about Victoria's firing that everyone else doesn't? Do you know why she was fired?

I completely and utterly disagree with this opinion, and furthermore find it dangerous for what it suggests - specifically, the idea that a large group of anonymous people can do anything but fall prey to their collective impulse. I would a

I came this close to not even knowing about this, until someone posted something in /r/dataisbeautiful about Ellen Pao's comment karma over time. Just like Facebook, it's almost entirely related to what you subscribe

Probably, yes, assuming you mean "will effect the severity of your sentence". Intent matters.

I'm immensely jealous of Estonia's ability to rebuild their infrastructure from the ground up. I know we'll never have that chance in the US, but if we did, we could build something truly incredible, especially now that gove

Why can't YouTube users just send a DMCA takedown notice to Facebook? If a video makes someone a decent amount of money, then just sue for damages as well. I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.

Wait wait what? So I can send my (locally encrypted) CC info into an Enigma-enabled CC processor, and they can deduct an amount from my account without ever actually knowing my account info? Or more like I can send an encrypted list of pas

For some strange reason, the idea of this being the Uber for haircuts, even down to the flagrant disobedience of licensure, is hilarious to me.

Python-dateutil is unintuitive as all get-out in my humble opinion, so I recommend dateparser instead (recent release has many great improvements over dateutil, but check it out for yourself to decide [0]). [0] https://github.com

There's no evidence whatsoever that the NSA has given any industrial intelligence to private US companies. According to this brief article (why we link to TechCrunch instead of WikiLeaks on HN is not clear to me), the leaked document

Some terrible websites limit the characters you can supply for passwords (for telephone password input reasons, sometimes). Also, someone who's trying to take advantage of a low-entropy password probably doesn't know what the char
