I didn't look very far into that, but I think that the issue was that subreddit data wasn't included in the vote dump they did. I actually only heard that secondhand - I could be mistaken. I just used post and comment histories, which suite

Here's a copy of the post with just text and screenshots: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~elie/noscriptnetworks.html . I developed this on Chrome on a Mac and Chromium on Ubuntu, and it worked on both of those. Sorry it's giving you problems.

Those subs weren't really active enough for me to get significant data in the time I was scraping (Reddit doesn't let you go back very far.) Great idea for a future post though.

Indeed. I took out all of the default subreddits because they added too much noise - everyone starts out subscribed to all of them.

This is great, and adorable. When I was a kid, I hated that I was a girl because boys had all the adventures in books. Fiction by authors that featured tough girls - Tamora Pierce being a notable example - helped turn that around. Girls wan

Assigning a moral value to Google's algorithms here, or to personalized search in general, doesn't make sense. I like personalized search - when I change main operating systems, as I do every few months, my information for debugging is al

I feel like many of these posts present a false dichotomy. I hiked over 600 miles of the appalachian trail this summer, and I did use social media - a little. I posted about one photo to instagram a day - a faun a few days old, a chimney i

Regret is different than doing something that didn't turn out well. I have made plenty of decisions that caused a great deal of suffering - but they made me who I am. I think what I would regret would be if I made decisions that didn't m

It is when trying to explain one's motivations in a structured and informative way. Not so much when trying to emotionally deal with a missed opportunity. But this is presumably meant to be a reasoned response.

In a way, the game is a collaboration between the judge and the truthteller - they both get the same number of points. The liar can definitely win, but the truthteller and judge can only tie. The fun part is, the judge is collaborating wi

Yeah, I did create this account because this is an issue very dear to my heart. I blogged about some of this when it happened about a year ago on livejournal, and that post made it to the front page of hn back then. I've experienced a lot

This was by a grad TA (a school employee) in a public forum. The one female professor who expressed any concern was told basically to stop. If it was just students, that would be one thing. This kid continued to be employed by the depart

This problem starts early, too - in my undergrad institution, many of the lectures and programming assignments taught OOP with examples employing beer and women-as-objects-of-seduction. The lecturers - not just TAs, but also adjuncts - wou
