Politics aside. What does it say about his judgement to continue investing in something that is statistically on track to fail. Not only that, but its also a toxic brand to attach yourself to. Or do we just put this in the "expensive n

I am completely ok with you directing that comment at me, because I fundamentally disagree with your assessment. I have a pretty complete understanding of current events from reading those sources. For your statement to be valid, you'd

You're repeating the false narrative that unbiased news does not exist. There are lots of unbiased news outlets who just report on stories as they come in. I learn about all sorts of government corruption and waste from NPR, NYTimes, W

Thank god someone is writing about this. Recently I've been on the Yahoo's homepage a lot, because of Fantasy Football, and I noticed that a lot of the content is exactly like the article says, fake news from right-wing propaganda

I have a feeling this effect will soon be nil. The more subreddit sticky comment rules, the more people will adapt to filter them, like the way we ignore ads. A lot of the subreddit I subscribe to have rules. I barely notice them anymore.

No. I didn't know it was a violation. I did sternly tell them not to call me again, and wrote a negative review.

FINALLY!!! You can't buy a single tech accessory on Amazon without these fake reviews. Next they need to get rid of grouping reviews for different product versions. They also need to ban merchants from hounding me to review their produ

I don't know why most of the comments on here, so far, are so nonchalant about this. > Hassell sued Bird for libel and won a judgment for more than $550,000 in damages and costs, as well as an injunction ordering Bird to remove the

Thanks for being so open. I like hearing real world experiences. My take away here is that unless you are founder, or the company goes for billions, you don't really make much.

I wish Starbucks would have healthier breakfast options to go with my coffee. Besides the oatmeal, everything else on their menu is like a candy bar. I can only eat so much un-sweetened oatmeal. I don't really don't know what else

As someone who really likes Amazon, I really hope someone at Amazon read this and brings it to Jeff Bezos. The fake reviews are absolutely killing Amazon's usefulness to me. This, and the practice of grouping reviews for unrelated item

On a related note, now there is an anti-trump subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughTrumpSpam/ It's really interesting to watch the power struggle. It's one group of troll taking on another. Must be

Did you even read the article? They are being targeted because they are engaging in vote manipulation. Members of other subreddit don't collude to upvote everything and try to get into /r/all. They also don't go and atta

> Special Judge J. Jeffrey Edens issued a ruling. He awarded Zavodnik a judgment of $30,044.07 for breach of contract. Holy cow. This guy needs to be fired immediately. That is beyond gross negligence.

Maybe this is an indication of how out of touch I am, but I don't see why there is a push to lower the cost of chicken meat. It is already super cheap. You can get a whole rotisserie chicken at Safeway for $5 or less. That's a who

Thank you for this very well written response. I was struggling to say what you just explained so well. The reason I personally think it will destroy Reddit is because it has already ruined a few of the subreddits I subscribe to. Mainly &#x

I am going to predict that Reddit will soon collapse because it is overrun with conservative minded people. It's starting to become a really hateful community.

It's been a while since I've looked into these "reputation" services. Do they actually work, when not hit by the Streisand effect, or is it just snake oil?

I tried React about a year ago and this is how I felt. It was hard to understand how to incorporate React into an existing framework (Rails), because JSX was odd and I felt like I had to rewrite/rethink everything "V" related
