It most likely is out of date, but I've continued to see the same sentiments echo'd from other people recently, so haven't bothered to fully revinvestigate. I got the impression from my time with Google's offerings that

I don't see how anyone could possible claim GAE or similar offerings from Google compete anywhere close to what Microsoft or Amazon is providing. My take on it between Amazon and Microsoft: Microsoft has less functionality but with an

Definitely Uber. Make no mistake, I use uber several times a week. But what they did is a complete circumvention of the law; it's why taxi drivers were so fed up, and somewhat hypocritically I do think uber needs to pay some fines. Ube

Using facebook as an example, Facebook had editors and then got slammed with the completely useless "bias" label because they sought stories from actual, reasonably credible sources. Their algorithm was not responsible for removin

I used to work within the field of DOT technology (not for the DOT itself). I forget the exact project name, but this has been in the works since around 2008 and has gone through several revisions (in a relatively closed, "secret"

Poverty combined with boredom. And from my personal experience, a complete unwillingness to discuss such problems (i.e, "Not my family").

I'm sorry what? Powershell has to be one of the better documented systems I've used in quite some time, and the sytnax lends itself to a certain "learning velocity" if you will. I also find that the general standard for

I was banned without ever having ventured there, and then proceeded to be called a "faggot cuck" (presumably because of my posts to /r/gaybros) by the moderator. So it most certainly is not false. There are many others w

You can stop being dishonest at anytime now. Your timeline is backwards. They were not singled out for "censorship" before their abuse. That doesn't even make sense. Again, please notice the immediate effect of having the too

The admins and a sizable portion, if not the majority, of reddit think it's true. It's also odd that you seem to forget that the content in question was specifically and continually addressed to the rest of the community in an oft

That is a completely disingenuous take on what was stated. The subreddit in question specifically and continually used the tool in a negative, unconstructive manner, which is obviously not what it is designed for. Other subreddits use the m

There is a difference between limiting a mod tool and code that stops a subreddit's post from getting to the front page. The former is what I referenced, the latter is what I was asking a source for.

I literally just addressed both of those points. Sticked posts are mod tools. They didn't do anything else. You literally pointed out exactly what I did. >It's not a global change to everybody. It's only for that one speci

We need to lay to rest this ridiculous notion that reddit is actively censoring anyone. A few subs have hosted outright illegal material, harassed users on and offline, and ruined the general ecosystem in the rest of reddit. The admins have

Are you addressing my statement or someone else's? I don't understand how going through with code reviews for any change is somehow distracting from "code under review." And surely addressing the code you're touchin
