Pro free market is more of a libertarian thing not a conservative thing.
And we've traded it for a sea of advertising and astroturfing.
Almost none of those things you listed are extremist right wing. Politics are way too polarized and you're proof of that. I'm not even sure what you mean by anti-feminist but I'll guess "hate women and their rights",…
anything right of the center is now considered extreme right wing views
They knew what they were doing. They most certainly reached a point where they realized they wouldn't deliver on the hype and speculation they were generating, so they had the option to either tell people before launch…
I have it on my other monitor while I develop. I don't divert full attention to it, I'm just listening then periodically tune in when I'm in thought or need a small mental break.
That paper I imagine terrifies Reddit. They depend upon their users to create and engage with content, if they're willing to leave to create and engage elsewhere they then become another Digg. This was done with small…
The comments here have this mentality of "there are people with different opinions from me, why don't these websites deal with these opinions". It's dangerous thinking that can be applied to your opinions. The internet…
I never said it doesn't happen. You're the odd case and of course there's someone who had adblock installed for them. I just said "unlikely", because they went out of their way to install the adblocker.
Have you seen the left as of late? They have just as many bigots if not more. They're universally completely intolerant that the person they didn't vote for won the election. They also have rather interesting opinions…
pretty much this. its why there was a lot of h1b visa abuse. top 0.01% doesnt want to pay a lot for tech workers but the demand is high, so increase the supply of tech workers.
You're the one who is making that connection, not me. I never implied it.
I'm not going to berate the guy for doing what he thought was right, but reading this news doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Just mixed feelings.
Like I said, from a black and white legal standpoint it was the right move. But so much was lost from not simply uploading it somewhere from an internet cafe. It enters the same ethical flexibility as things like…
We could of had enthusiastic fans see the inner workings of such a beloved game and tons of articles around the technical details, but instead we protected the intellectual property rights of a billion dollar…
To fix this "problem" they've been spending money on human moderators to filter content, tags, and ban people. They're spending money on employees to remove discussions and eyes from the site, which counter intuitive if…
Disagreed. The name "altright" itself is now banned. You can no longer make a subreddit named that so effectively, the speech and beliefs are now banned under the guise of TOS violation. Usually when moderators…
nothing, its just indirect political crap
this makes me wonder how many of their hires actually add value rather than just consuming company resources
Having worked with monolithic legacy codebases that they likely have, it has gone through hundreds of developers who dont work for the company anymore that created a bunch of spaghetti code means its a huge effort…
Can you blame them? Oculus & Facebook started acting like an abusive monopoly before they even had the monopoly.
the problem that the article describes is that an incorrect email was entered at sign up, and the user gets invested in their account, all for it to get hijacked by original the email account owner down the road.…
better idea: if user doesnt verify email within a few days, that email "expires" and is removed from the account. Add a message to nag the user to add a proper email to their account. this removes the edge case…
It reminds me of the music/movie industry in terms of how these adblock detectors mimic something like DRM. Anyway the problem is with the business model. People are installing adblockers in response to more aggressive…
That's the kind of site they're running though. Make your own community with relatively lax rules and freedom of speech, even if the speech is low brow. Kind of like some of the *chans. If that's not what they want to…
