It has for r/askscience.

Thanks for the link! Definitely adding this to my daily reading.

So, would any book on studying do, or any search for "skills to do well at school"? I, as a struggling student, too would like to know what R. said to him and what he in turn said to those he tutored.

I used to work for adCenter support and you can always call them up to help you with some basics of PPC and running a good advertising campaign. Google now has a phone number so I hear, so they also might be of some assistance. Also, if your monthly budget is $500 or more you can get an 'optimization specialist' (buzzwords I never cared for) to work with you for up to 45 days on getting a campaign up and running (it's a free service).

Unfortunately all that won't help you much with finding an SEM, but if need be it'll allow you to effectively self-manage.

This is the same thing that has been happening in Canada for a while now with the exact same rhetoric: "it will only affect a small proportion of customers, roughly 2 percent of all subscribers", "[we are] looking at usage caps and usage based billing as a way to rein in heavy data users" [1].

A good bet might be a Swiss hosted e-mail service such as Neomailbox which is what I use. Lavabit is another one which might be what you're looking for.

Are there any postmortems on the Dreamcast and why it failed? I'm genuinely curious. I don't know if the openness of the Dreamcast led to its downfall, but it has a fairly strong community of hackers using it currently.

That works, many thanks.

Ironically this page is down for me.

I too finally moved away from GoDaddy and had trouble finding a good domain registrar. I ended up going with EasyDNS after I saw how they handled being wrongly associated with pulling Wikileak's domain.

Any details on the settlement?

I've wondered this myself as well, as I do not use it myself either. However, my girlfriend does animation with Flash and some Photoshop and she uses it because that's what she learned with, so I think part of it is vendor lock-in.

Unfortunately it's still technically in 'beta' so it intermittently has issues. I still use it everyday, though.

I assume you're using the REST API? While they try and roll out a fix, have you tried to use the adCenter Desktop to at least somewhat manage the ads?

The creator of the software posted an AMA: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/gllgr/i_am_the_creator...

It leaves out that you have to unsubscribe of any additional services such as domainsbyproxy in order to transfer.

I find having something like a Tiling Windows Manager and some custom keyboard mapping helps tremendously when coding on a laptop. Rarely do I have to use the trackpad, though it doesn't help the constrained keyboard and screen size.

So, is this just going to be a new social network? Is the idea of circles any different from, say, Diaspora's aspects?

This is good, now if they could enforce SSL for adsense.

Just curious, do you have any plans to expand into adCenter as well?

I agree, it sounds like they are just trying to be quotable.

Your suspicion has been echoed in other threads since the poster has yet to confirm you who he is in real life, 'just found reddit' and knew enough to create an AMA and 'lost his password'. In all likely-hood this could be a Munchausen by Internet[1].

From the link:

Benjamin "Mako" Hill works on issues of technology, intellectual property, and society. He's a key person in the free software and free culture movements. Mako is a core-developer, active contributor, and founding member of the Ubuntu Project. For nearly a decade, he has also been an active member of the Debian GNU/Linux Project, which Ubuntu is based on. Together with Erik Moeller from the Wikimedia Foundation, Mako founded the Definition of Free Cultural Worksbased on the Free Software Definition.

Mako serves on the advisory board of the Wikimedia Foundation and the One Laptop Per Child project. Currently a researcher and PhD Candidate and a Research Fellow at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media

Another fun fact: Mako's apartment is where reddit was founded, and there is spray paint on the roof to prove it[1]. Mako has agreed to answer the top ten questions as of 2/22 in this redditor-built 12 foot Igloo[2]. Ask him anything.

Unfortunately most of those comments will end up moved to #devnull

http://gizmodo.com/#!devnull/forum

It pains me to see Gizmodo running an article with the National Enquirer as its primary source. They do make the necessary disclaimers, "The Enquirer is also wrong a lot especially when it comes to proclaiming that celebrities have mere weeks to live." but perhaps they'll run anything to get the attention away from their redesign.

"They caution, however, that there is no way of knowing whether the hackers are Chinese, or some other nationality routing their cybercrimes through China to cover their tracks."

From the article

Can't you also share files with a url through Dropbox? And get 50GB for $9.99/month?

Where do you go when Reddit is down?

Your title seems a bit click-baitish to me, but that could easily be my bias.

I think it's great that Reddit has evolved over time rather than trying to force their community into what they think Reddit should be. I am appreciative that if I want to dip into few funny things to come out of things like 4chan I can, without having to deal with a lot of what makes places like /b/ so repulsive (gore, excessive porn, etc). For the most part when you remove the default subreddits from your frontpage and stick to the smaller ones (netsec, web_design, gamedev are some good ones) you can avoid a lot of what you are describing.

I think that the idea of giving away something for free as a business plan will only work in music and other verticals which do not require you to provide support for the something. This has been a key point in the recent articles on the pitfalls of Freemium.
