The Complete Beginner\'S Guide to Reddit The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Reddit By: Matthew Fuller This book is a completely beginner-focused guide to setting up and maintaining a Reddit account for the purposes of staying up-to- date with current events, commenting on articles, or discovering interesting stories online. It is provided as-is for educational purposes only and the author does not guarantee that it is free from errors or that its instructions will become obsolete in the future. Reddit and all references to the site herein are trademarked by Conde Nast. 1 Introduction If you’ve been using the Internet for more than a few days, perhaps you’re looking for a way to find new and interesting stories or learn more about a certain topic. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place! In this book, I am going to teach you about a site called Reddit. If there is one place on the Internet that encompasses the broadest range of topic diversity, user interaction, and occasional controversy, it is Reddit. Reddit is a form of Internet bulletin board, a place where users can post links to news stories, images, video, or just plain text about almost any topic imaginable. These posts are then voted on by its users and the highest-voted posts reach the top of the page while the negatively-voted posts slowly sink out of sight. Reddit was started in 2005 by two students at the University of Virginia: Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman. In 2006, the website was acquired by Condé Nast Publications, although the company has interfered very little in the site’s operation. The site has steadily gained users, and its biggest acquisition of new accounts came between 2009 and 2010 when another similar site, Digg, changed a number of its policies, causing a mass exodus of users to Reddit. At the time of this book’s publication, Reddit has almost 3 million active accounts. In 2013, there were over 56 billion page views on the website. Actors, comedians, TV personalities, and even the President of the United States have accounts on the site or have posted on it. Needless to say, Reddit is extremely popular and influences a wide sector of the Internet. In the next chapters, I will be walking through every step of using Reddit. I will cover getting familiarized with the site, setting up an account, securing your privacy, posting, interacting with users, utilizing the many resources available, and customizing your experience. By the end of this book, I am hopeful that you will be using Reddit to its full potential and enhancing your browsing experience. 2 The Reddit Experience Demographics Before I begin walking through each of Reddit’s features and the process of getting started on the site, I want to give you a bit more background that will hopefully be helpful in understanding the site and its users. If you’re itching to just get started, skip ahead to Chapter 3, but I think this chapter should be an interesting read if you have the time. The first thing you should understand about Reddit is its demographic. It is very heavily populated by young-adult males with a liberal political ideology. The most popular age range on the site is 18 - 29 and the comments and topics generally reflect this. The site’s users as a whole are intensely political, value fairness and free speech, and are also quite philanthropic, donating to a wide variety of causes. If the age or political statistics make you hesitant to visit, don’t worry, there are a seemingly unlimited number of sub communities that differ from the sum of the whole. Reddit has a very nerdy and technology-slanted presence as well. Due to the fact that a number of its users joined when the site was focused heavily on these topics, the culture remains strong. Technology-centric posts often get voted to the top more easily than other posts and many of the site’s users have a high degree of technological literacy. Users value the openness of the Internet and any companies that work against that notion are shamed. Due to the younger demographic of many of Reddit’s users, some of its content can seem immature, crude, or inappropriate. There is very little censorship on the site and pictures containing nudity or grotesque injuries are posted regularly (although they can be easily hidden). Despite this, the user has the ultimate control over everything he or she sees, and I’ll be walking through the steps to customize the experience to a personal liking. While the generalizations above apply to the average of Reddit’s users, there is no shortage of demographics that do not fit the mold. While the political ideology is predominantly liberal, there are countless communities for conservatives, libertarians, anarchists, socialists, etc. Despite the overrepresentation of male users, female users have a wide variety of communities to join, including ones for women’s rights, motherhood, parenting, etc. This pattern repeats, resulting in a site that can cater to almost any political ideology, age, gender, and hobby. Common Terms In this section, I will define some common words and phrases that I’ll be using in the book or that are popular on Reddit. The definitions will be brief, but don’t worry, I’ll be getting into much more detail later. Subreddit - A subreddit is a community within Reddit that covers a particular topic. For example, the “politics” subreddit centers on political topics, news stories, images, and videos. Subreddits are denoted with a r after the reddit.com address, such as reddit.comrpolitics. Upvote - A positive vote on a submission or comment. It is displayed as an orange up arrow. Downvote - A negative vote on a submission or comment. It is displayed as a blue down arrow. AMA - Ask Me Anything. Although this is an entire subreddit by itself, the term is used across the site to indicate to other users that they can ask questions of the original poster. For example: I work at Google, AMA. OP - Original Poster. Refers to the user who originally submitted the content or made the first comment. Thread - The collection of comments on a particular submission. ITT - In This Thread. Used to reference something happening in the chain of comments. For example, “ITT, everyone is talking about the wrong event.” Karma - When a post is submitted or a comment posted and other users vote on it, the resulting votes are added to a user’s “karma.” Karma is meaningless other than indicating how active a user is. There is post karma (for submissions) and comment karma (for comments). NSFW - Not Safe For Work. Used to indicate that the post may contain inappropriate material not suitable to be viewed in public. Repost - Indicates that the submission has already been posted previously. Users are quick to point out reposts and often downvote those posts. Cross Post (X-Post) - Indicates that a post is being made in multiple subreddits for increased visibility. For example, a post about a new law involving computers may be posted in the “politics” subreddit and cross-posted in the “technology” subreddit. TIL - Today I Learned. Indicates something interesting the user has just learned. Throwaway - User accounts are easy to make on Reddit, so many users make a new “throwaway” account when posting NSFW or personal information so that their identities are not revealed. TL;DR - Too Long; Didn’t Read. Used to summarize a long post. There are many more terms that you will come across, some that are only used in certain subreddits, but I will do my best to describe them as they arise. 3 Getting Started Your First Account Now that you have enough information to understand what Reddit is at a high level, let’s get started. Head on over to reddit.com. You may want to bookmark this page, as it is quite addicting and I’m sure you’ll be spending a lot of time on the site. The Reddit Homepage At the top right, click “register” above the search box. The registration window will appear. At this point, I want to take a moment to talk about usernames. Usernames on Reddit are quite varied; some people use their own names (not recommended) while others user puns or random strings of characters. Your username is completely up to you; however, I do not recommend using a name that can be connected back to you, either in real life or online through other accounts. Redditors are notorious for tracking people down in real-life, and you don’t want a comment you make on the site to cause someone to attempt to find out who you are. You do not need to enter an email address unless you want to have a way to reset your password in case you lose it. Reddit User Registration Page Be sure to create a strong password, and then click “create account.” Congratulations, you now have a Reddit account and can be called a “Redditor.” Let’s now take a look at the various places you can go throughout the site. User Account Page Once you log in, you will notice that your username, followed by a (1) is located at the top right-hand corner. Clicking on your username will take you to your account page. User Account Page On this page, you will (soon) see a collection of all of your posts and comments made throughout the site. Since you have not posted anything yet, it is currently blank. On the right side, your link karma, as well as your comment karma are listed.

  • Should You Take Investment Advice from Wallstreetbets?
    Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? A Data­Driven Approach May 2021 Tolga Buz Gerard de Melo Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Reddit’s WallStreetBets (WSB) community has come to prominence in light of its notable role in affecting the stock prices of what are now referred to as meme stocks. Yet very little is known about the reliability of the highly speculative investment advice disseminated on WSB. This paper analyses WSB data spanning from January 2019 to April 2021 in order to assess how successful an investment strategy relying on the community’s recommenda­ tions could have been. We detect buy and sell advice and identify the community’s most popular stocks, based on which we define a WSB portfolio. Our evaluation shows that this portfolio has grown approx. 200% over the last three years and approx. 480% over the last year, significantly outperforming the S&P500. The average short­term accuracy of buy and sell signals, in contrast, is not found to be significantly better than randomly or equally distributed buy decisions within the same time frame. However, we present a tech­ nique for estimating whether posts are proactive as opposed to reactive and show that by focusing on a subset of more promising buy signals, a trader could have made investments yielding higher returns than the broader market or the strategy of trusting all posted buy signals. Lastly, the analysis is also conducted specifically for the period before 2021 in or­ der to factor out the effects of the GameStop hype of January 2021 – the results confirm the conclusions and suggest that the 2021 hype merely amplified pre­existing characteristics.

  • Aaron Swartz - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 1/19/13 3:04 PM
    Aaron Swartz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1/19/13 3:04 PM Aaron Swartz From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aaron H. Swartz (November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013) was an American computer programmer, writer, political Aaron Swartz organizer and Internet activist. Swartz was a member of the RSS-DEV Working Group that co-authored the "RSS 1.0" specification of RSS,[2] built the website framework web.py[3] and created the architecture for the Open Library. In the early days of Reddit, Swartz's Infogami and Reddit merged; the merger agreement made Swartz an equal partner in the merged company.[i] Swartz also focused on sociology, civic awareness and activism.[4][5] In 2010 he joined the Harvard University Center for Ethics. He founded the online group Demand Progress (known for its campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act) and later worked with U.S. and international activist groups Rootstrikers, and Avaaz. He also worked as a contributing editor to The Baffler.[6] On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by federal authorities in connection with systematic downloading of academic journal articles from JSTOR.[7][8] Swartz opposed JSTOR's practice of compensating publishers, rather than authors, out of the fees it charges for access to articles. Swartz contended that JSTOR's fees limited access Aaron Swartz at a Creative Commons event on to academic work produced at American colleges and December 13, 2008 universities.[9][10] Born Aaron H. Swartz[1] On the morning of January 11, 2013, Swartz was found in November 8, 1986 his Crown Heights, Brooklyn apartment where he had Chicago, Illinois, U.S.

  • Sécurité : Ios Ne Fait Pas Mieux Qu’Android, Selon Microsoft
    Sécurité : iOS ne fait pas mieux qu’Android, selon Microsoft Brad Anderson, vice-président Enterprise Client & Mobility de Microsoft, vient de lancer un pavé dans la mare des OS mobiles. En voulant faire le point sur la vulnérabilité Trident/Pegasus, Brad Anderson remet les pendules à l’heure concernant la sécurité d’iOS. Malgré le fait que l’écosystème iOS est plus fermement contrôlé par Apple que celui d’Android ne l’est par Google, il estime que les deux OS mobiles sont sujets aux mêmes risques en matière de vulnérabilités. Et de rappeler que le couple Trident/Pegasus est le fruit de la startup NSO Group, qui l’a créé pour les besoins des gouvernements, dans le cadre de leurs actions d’écoute.« Le travail derrière le piratage d’entreprise, le vol en ligne, le cyberespionnage et le cyberterrorisme est une activité commerciale et non pas seulement le fruit d’acteurs underground », explique Brad Anderson. iOS, Android : même combat (perdu) « Nous sommes tous sujets à des attaques constantes, et toutes les plateformes et applications ont des vulnérabilités. […] Il existe des menaces numériques qui se traduisent par des attaques réussies, en dépit des efforts déployés par les organisations chargées de construire ces plates-formes » ajoute-t-il, se référant ici à Android et iOS. Bref un superbe exercice de communication réalisé par Microsoft. Brad Anderson ne cite ainsi pas une seule fois Apple ou Google dans son billet. Lorsqu’il se penche sur l’universalité de la menace, Windows Mobile n’est par ailleurs pas davantage nommé.
