I could only get through half of the article, so props to you.

Btw if you ctrl-f for Nietzsche, he's literally only mentioned once at the very beginning. lmfao

Be careful when cringing into a void that the void doesn't also cringe at you.

DS1 is quite the experience, I would highly recommend giving it a go at least once.

There's probably a few factors involved. One I can think of is that security has simply gotten better and more commonplace. Nowadays you see 2FA everywhere, but iirc this wasn't always the case. Another thing to consider is that web services have become much more centralized in the last few decades, and I'm sure that the companies who offer those services probably have great infosec.

paddles on the back are nice for kick and lunge attacks since the button+stick combos can be hard to hit 100% of the time

That gives me an idea, but I'm not sure if this would come with another host of issues.

There could be two voting systems that operate independently, but carry the appearance of being synchronous. Comments would have an "all" score and a "sub" score. Users who visit the thread from the sub board would see the post with the "all" votes filtered out so that now their [best] sort would be reflective of only votes cast by community members. (only subscribers to that sub would have their votes counted)

Then for visitors from "all", I guess you'd just show them all the votes added together. It wouldn't make sense to separate them in this instance since climbing threads would have tons of comments with only a score of 1.

I think a system like this would also help against brigading, especially if moderators had the ability to set a time requirement for how long someone has be subbed before their vote is given "subscriber" status. Paging /u/Cicero

god that book fucking sucked. whenever he isn't bitching on and on about women, he's handing out the most watered down, braindead version of Nietzsche I've ever read.

like there is seriously something to be said about the multi-dimensional affront that technology is afflicting onto our existence, but Ted's political takes were so shallow and lame and mired in his own neurotic bullshit that I couldn't possibly read another page further.

I recently picked up a book on cyber-espionage by Cliff Stoll, and I noticed that he actually turned out to be majorly critical of the internet as a whole during its infancy. He mentions a very interesting critique of the information age that I've never heard before, and that's how he believes it to be hostile to human curiosity. Cliff argues that the constant availability of answers to our questions will placate the individuals curiosity, and eventually atrophy their skills of reasoning and problem-solving.

Hey I used to listen to that Dir en Grey Obscure song in high school! I remember that music video being sick as fuck and really unique for the time.

Anyways I haven't heard anything you listed, but I should say that Maximum The Hormone is probably my favorite band of all time. They're kind of Nu-metal, but I think avant-garde metal is a much better descriptor since their sound travels ridiculously far and wide even within the confines of one song. They've also been killing it the last 5 years or so, you should check out |their| |last| |four| |singles| if you haven't heard them yet.

I'll check out your list here as soon as I get the chance

Idk, moral philosophy is a sticky subject when you dive into it, especially when getting into the nihilistic aspects. I'd recommend checking out some of Nietzsche's writings on herd morality if you want some good insight into Ted's criticism of leftism.

Should also say that it's tough to blame Ted for lashing out when you look at what various organizations did to him during his life. His story is definitely a tragic one.

BTW probably wouldn't recommend Cliff Stoll's work on social commentary, but The Cuckoo's Egg is a fascinating read. It's about his uncovering and tracking of an international espionage which he stumbled on shortly after becoming a sys-admin at Berkeley in the 1980's.

Never heard of this before. Apparently there's only a few active ones in the world, but none of them harvest the fuel which is generated by the process.

Reported tags should probably just be automatic. Set them after a threshold of a certain number of reports. (set that number to scale with active users?)

In order to circumvent abuse, maybe there could be a symbol after a post gets automatically re-tagged for indicating that it was? Then you'd be able to use that symbol for reporting posts that you believe were incorrectly/maliciously reported so that action can be taken against anyone who abuses the system.

After thinking on it some more, it seems that filter toggles would remove some capabilities. Perhaps an additional toggle for "untagged-only" posts would be an easier approach?

I mainly wanted political filtering to be easily accessible from the main page, especially with that feature being such a strong point of advertising for the platform. Oversaturation of political posts is the #1 complaint I see about reddit, so I think that having the feature front and center would be a good way to entice people into signing up.

I don't mind seeing political posts very much, but I'd like to also be able to easily flip them off to check what's underneath them. This will become more true as the site gains more users, and political events result in transient floods of posts taking up the front page.
