>some popular top investor could write a blog post shaming me and ruining my reputation for other startups. Not professional if you ask me
I think it would have been more professional to state, in neutrality, the status of the legal proceedings - rather than implicitly accuse the man of being greedy by refusing a "generous" settlement.
> Reading news coverage of all this five and a half years later is kind of like reading old infatuation-era emails with a much older ex-boyfriend you never think about—but who in hindsight was kind of a pedophile.
Well that's one way to remind me that this is a VICE article.
I've been thinking about implementing a sort of slideshow like this.
I could definitely see this being extended, contained within a frame and used (by intercepting and mimicking scroll actions) in order to present a slideshow in a smooth, consistent manner.
By itself, it's novel. But extended, I could see a few uses for it.
Interesting idea, degrades pretty well (for text only), and I enjoyed scrolling through smoothly with middle-click.
I think you're closer to the truth than the author. Though it may be moral, in a sense, to keep ads away from tragic stories - I think that it's clearly in the interest of the advertisers to keep their brands separated from "negative" stories so they don't inadvertently sabotage themselves.
Do you have any links/resources for the subject matter you're covering in this comment? I'd like to learn more about what you're saying, and I can't seem to wrap my head around what it is you're trying to express with penny bids.
This article is another symptom of journalism becoming sensationalism. The fact that this snippet was included, and that the public shaming was made into an article at all, is extremely deplorable.
Because of the way this article was presented, I've reserved forming an opinion of Ellis or her alleged harasser. It's skewed to make both parties look bad, and based off hearsay. The article did not reveal Ellis' overreaction to her harassment until after the allegations were repeated multiple times. It's ridiculous they didn't present everything at once, instead of attempting to lead our opinions.
I agree. It would be nice to drill down into the data in order to further analyze everything. I also feel there was a particular sort of censorship in the dataset, an indicator of which was the explicit racist and misogynistic words that were absent. There was a large lack of swears and bad terms in this analysis (bitch being a particularly obvious cut) and I, for one, see examples of these slurs prevalently used by young men far too often on the site.
Perhaps the data was tailored when it was provided to the analyst, or it was censored after reception, but this felt too "PG-13" for an analysis of reddit's "interests".
What's worse is the fact that this would be more terrifying if this weren't an action to the NSA's credit. Chinese, British, and Russian governments also have the capability of developing intrusive malware at such a scale.
I see that this is confirmed as the NSA, but the world has been awfully silent on the intrusiveness of Chinese malware practices. You can not travel safely in China without your domestic devices being breached, yet we don't hear about large-scale projects from their government, which also possesses "near limitless resources" at their disposal.
I just think it's interesting there's so much attention on the NSA.
A more appropriate name would be "An introvert's guide to being extroverted".
I like the idea of using your actual name for usernames, but that could lead to some unnecessary risk if you don't practice proper password security.
The meetups aren't a bad idea, but telling people to "talk to someone" is a bad idea. How about "Listen to someone"? That's much better, especially for introverts.
You're preaching as an extrovert to introverts. Associating yourself with your work, thinking through it, positively engaging those who criticize it while remaining calm - those are ways to get noticed as an introvert. Incorporating what you hear from others - that's how you get noticed. Talking to people and talking, talking, talking... that's how you get noticed for the wrong reasons.
