What are /r/promos' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

According to Massively. The competition was pretty thin, but I did pick this up when it was first on Steam at 50% off, and it's (IMO) definitely fun.

A lot better than I expected, honestly, given how badly this game failed the first time around. Enough to fire the entire dev team and rebuild it from the ground up and re-release with a new title. I'm only in the lower 20s on my highest level class though so who knows what I'll think when I get to end game content.

How about Linux?

If you want low-budget programming tools, it seems you might want to steer away from Windows anyway.

For those interested more in our company, last month we set a new service record for made-to-order prescription glasses where we reduced the average time from order placement by the customer to shipment to 0.7 days.

Our eyeglasses manufacturing facility operates 24/7 and is one of the most technologically advanced labs in North America.

I think 40% would be a psychologically less harrowing figure.

When people see 50%, they think "they're getting just as much as I am!", but when they see 40%, they immediately think "I'm getting the majority."

I think it's more a psychological thing than about the figure itself.

Incidentally, have you ever read a book called Predictably Irrational? It's a great basic sales psychology book and such an easy read.

No information gets sent to reddit (not Conde Nast Digital) unless you actively interact with it -- voting, saving, or submitting. The extension also checks for new messages on reddit's servers every 5 minutes, but you can disable that in the options. The requests the extension makes are the same as the ones your browser makes when you vote on stories on the reddit frontpage. The extension permissions unfortunately have to include access to all pages in order to be able to insert the bar UI into the content of page.

I'm the author of the extension, and started development a year before working at reddit. All of the code is open source, so feel free to verify these claims. You can also open the background tab in the web inspector to view the network activity at any time. :)

Have you tried it? 65,000 others have tried http://Clara.io. We've also integrated free V-Ray rendering.

PCs were not designed for 3D either compared to the old SGIs but things shifted back then. Web browsers were also not designed for email clients or word processors but we do that regularly in web browsers now as well. :)

Once two people can edit the same scene, no need for a render farm, always backed up data that is always available and the ability to embed your scene as either a render, a streaming interactive V-Ray render or a WebGL animation, using desktop software seems annoying and antiquated.

It shouldn't make any difference what service is "hogging the pipes" as long as it is what the end users want.

It is proper to let the end users who are the ultimate customers decide what content they want without the "pipe owners" charging differential tariffs.

Remember the backbone providers got huge public subsidies and do business in a monopoly or near monopoly environment. Despite those facts and their giant profits the US has slipped to 9th place in Internet speed

The middle ground should stay neutral ground, in my opinion.

Oh sorry I took your "Huh" as the

We've got some tips for aspiring games writers here: https://medium.com/@failbettergames/i-want-to-write-for-games-8c4243975dee

There's something about adjectives that distinguish a junior writer from a seasoned writer to me.

I grabbed this one at random from a book I read recently. Note the spare use of adjectives.

The whole sequence where the two Observers dived into each others heads and discussed how much in love with each other they were, well that was really tedious. I could have gotten the important bits in the space of 2 pages. Or Lydia's concerns about it could have been saved for later -- maybe she could have stewed on it for a bit.

Oh, there we go, the whole "be really goddamn stupid and pretend that everyone is talking about the hentai and not the 'child models'" line.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Before, Adblock blocked all ads. Then Adblock Plus introduced Acceptable Ads and Adblock followed suit soon after.

Acceptable Ads is basically a list of all places where ads are nonintrusive. For example, whereas youtube ads are intrusive (because the ads prevent viewing the video, they are animated, and they have sound), reddit ads are not(because they only appear at the top of the page, they're static, etc. etc.).

You can turn acceptable ads off in Adblock by going into the options menu.

Yeah it's probably from a decade ago way before we took it over.

Delphi might be good, but with those prices they are killing it. No individual (or ok, very few individuals) will buy it and without them, you don't have mind share. One reason that Turbo Pascal was so popular back in 80s and early 90s is that it combined quality with a very cheap/affordable price.

Today if i want a Delphi-like program, i prefer to use Lazarus. It also supports Linux properly and doesn't feel like a crawling system hog.

Facebook wants me to login and turn off secure browsing to watch a video.

What a fucking mess. This is why Facebook destroys the internet. It takes something relatively simple, like a video sharing, and dumps all these extra hassles on top of it.

It's delivering gated Internet. It's AOL, but somehow people forgot that model sucked.

World's perhaps a little kitschy, but you'd be an idiot to dismiss Reckoning for that.

R.A Salvatore's done a good job with the plot, but the real draw here is the gameplay. The combat's a really satisfying mix of traditional RPG stats and skills and realtime God of War hack and slash which I keep thinking resembles some sort of oddly bright MMO-ish Demon/Dark Souls.

MMO roots are noticeable throughout, particularly through the loot tiers, skill respeccing system and noncombat ventures like blacksmithing, alchemy and gem crafting. Blacksmithing's kind of addictive because you can get potentially useful components from just about any weapon. Not using Faeblades? Break a powerful set down and you might get the enchanted rivets, which you can then use for crafting a sword. Environments also feel very MMO. More like pretty corridors between setpieces than Skyrim's truly open world, but that does mean they are much brighter and more artistically focused.

Metascores have been pretty positive across the board, so I don't really get why there's this hate for Amalur floating around. It doesn't offer a particularly deep experience, but I've found it to be really enjoyable all around so far.

What you're seeing in the /l/ link is actually a privacy-protecting feature! As per our privacy policy we strip the search terms in the referrer field so sites you visit can't see what you searched for.

For most browsers that support the meta referrer tag or can otherwise do this programmatically, we don't use it (try it in safari for example). For some browsers or some situations (like open in a new tab/window), this doesn't work and so we need to go through this redirect to protect your privacy. In this case, the site sees this link and not the web address with the search terms. In any case, though, you can turn this behavior off in the settings in the Privacy section. Firefox is rumored to be getting support for meta referrer in the next version (36) so for a lot of people this should completely go away soon.

Oh god, shipping this must be a nightmare.

Edit: Oh god, some people just want to watch the world burn, literally.

>Now the iconic iPod is an afterthought, bringing in a mere 8% of Apple revenue

Mere, eh? Since Apple's yearly revenue is over $100 billion, that would mean that iPods pull in around $8,000,000,000 a year for them. Why exactly would they give that up?

American tree incoming! I still won't play WT tanks again until they remove the mini map from sim battles. :(

You completely missed the point. I wasn't saying that WoT is trash because it doesn't have planes, I was saying that you can't say the games are "pretty much the same" when they are actually quite different.

Judging by the image you linked it seems like World of Tanks simply detects if you penetrated a part of the tank's armour, and applies damage to a module assigned to that part of the armour. War Thunder actually simulates the tank's interior, where the crew is, where the ammunition is storaged et cetera, and uses this information to calculate what the shell managed to damage.

Let's take an example. Your picture gives the impression that if you want to knock out the engine of a tank, you need to hit the rear armour in World of Tanks, while in War Thunder, if your shot penetrates the front armour with enough power, it can pass through the whole interior of the tank, damaging the engine block on the way.

I don't see how your third paragraph is relevant, anyways. Shots that simply penetrate and don't hit any vitals are pretty rare in War Thunder, since you have a lot more subsystems to hit inside the tank. Here's a good example of how many different systems there are inside the T-34, 1941 model.

I saw a preview of this movie when I went to go see Crazy, Stupid Love and it did indeed look awful. It did not, however, look as bad as the preview of this movie.

Does WOT ever update? It's flagging a site for malware that was probably there 10-12 years ago.

I think Tufte is highly overrated; I wanted to like The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, but I found it full of bizarre recommendations and unsupported opinions.

The research is good -- it's got lots of pretty historical graphs and good examples -- but if you actually look at his own designs they're astoundingly bad. If you own a copy of this book, turn to page 124 and tell me if you really think his design for a quartile plot looks good. It just looks like a straight line.

AWS is missing. I talked about that openly since day 1: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/25/web-hosting-reviews-are-a-cesspool-review-signal-wants-to-fix-that/

AWS is complex for multiple reasons. Amazon as a keyword is just massive considering how many areas and topics they cover. Their web hosting offering doesn't make it easier. It's fragmented into many different services (dozens of them). EC2 is the basic VPS. RDS is their managed database (one of, anyways). EBS is their storage layer, what is their web hosting? Is S3 included? Glacier? Elasicache? How do you compare that to any other web hosting company? I've tried to figure out a good way and have come up short.

As far as the disclaimer, it's required by the FTC. This is a business, it has to make money. It's designed to be transparent, so despite that fact, you can still benefit from the data published.

As far as your claim that the reviews are 'supposedly' there. Go ahead, click any company. Click a review (their profile picture), it's linked to the original source where the opinion was posted. There are mistakes. They are the minority, if you find some, flag them for me so I can fix them and improve the accuracy of the site and the algorithms that power it.

...and a former reddit employee has said "any time we feel like we might be doing something sketchy, our knee-jerk reaction is to make it OK by donating to a charity. Others have called it 'reputation laundering.'"

Hey /u/iamquiteeccentric- happy to explain a bit as to why we've put up this house ad, asking folks who they want to see advertising here.

/u/spitfireP7350 is correct- every page on reddit.com is offered as a targeting option for advertisers to target their ad to- which they can do through our self-serve ad platform. What our self-serve ad platform offers is the ability for folks to promote their projects in the ad space of any reddit page (the section above the #1 post in any reddit page).

That being said, you also have a point in that sometimes there is no ad space above the #1 post of a subreddit. When you don't see an ad above the #1 post of a subreddit, this either means that no-one has chosen to advertise in that subreddit (therefore, no ad) or that an advertiser simply hasn't purchased all the available impressions in that subreddit (if you'd like to know more about what an "impression" is, and how that works, feel free to PM me).

The idea behind this house ad is to communicate with the /r/games community, and see what types of ads you all prefer to see- making that space as enjoyable as possible for you & learning what advertisers we should and shouldn't be reaching out to. When we see a particular brand or service that you all really love, we then turn around and try to make it happen on the backend.

Hope this helps clarify this a bit (sorry for the confusion!), and if you all have any questions let me know. Cheers, Adri

Anyone who thought dogecoin was more than just a meme, which in their nature fade in popularity, was always in for a bad time.

With things like Augur launching on top of Ethereum which is bringing actual innovation backed teams of developers dedicated to it I would guess a lot of alt coins will drop in value.

> A warmer climate is a better climate.

What a ridiculously short-sighted position. Better to be warmer, perhaps for a few, but just ask the millions who are suffering from drought. Or if not drought, flooding. Or if not flooding, severe weather. Ask the millions in India who are suffering the hottest temperatures ever, again after having done so a year ago. Ask the Australians who had to add a new color to their temperature maps a year or two ago.

Unprecedented suffering is happening right effing now!

Alexa numbers, which are the best generalized source of overall hype available without the studio being willing to cite specific numbers of sales and subscriptions.

Hey, I recently started trying to do affiliate advertising on reddit. I actually just scheduled an ad for MFA that I think is high value.

So sperrys top siders are $30 off today on amazon. http://camelcamelcamel.com/Sperry-Top-Sider-Mens-Boat-Sahara/product/B000EPC4XW

MFA loves sperrys, and $30 off is a good deal. However its possible by the time the ad gets approved, the deal will be over. Its a big risk on my part.

Want to make the most of that ad space? Find a way to make it usable for affiliate marketers.

I know big brands have huge budgets, but those huge budgets are staffed by risk averse ad managers. No one wants to be on the line when they run a deaf-tone ad on reddit, and redditors predictably come out with their pitchforks.

Definitively trying it, I really liked your principles and the way search works, like if you are searching the TV show Doctor Who it gives you info about the show in the top of the page, without filtering other results.

Congrats, hope you do well in business.

Because payday loans prey on desperate financially unsophisticated people who have no money and little education.

Selfstarter was developed by the team behind Lockitron (a device that could be installed on a door and then used to lock and unlock it with a smartphone). The idea of it was essentially to make an end run around the restrictions that Kickstarter had recently started imposing on hardware startups. It was less about stealing Kickstarter's ideas and more about building a platform that didn't have to conform to Kickstarter's rules.

When you click on any link, be it an ad or a regular link, you are then subject to the privacy policy of that site. The way around this is to use an anonymous proxy like Tor.

I love your search engine and use it regularly. I've never had a problem with results, other than the fact that your image search seems to lack a bit.

I was wondering, however, why you folks need to know my OS when I search? For example, when I search for "purple", I get brought to: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=purple&t=canonical&ia=meanings

Since I'm on Ubuntu, the t=canonical would make sense. On Debian it becomes a t=debian also, if I remember correctly.

So is this just part of the anonymous data gathering? Seeing what kind of OS uses DDG the most?

The front page is affiliate link heavy, which is intentional for first time visitors. But if you sort by the newest items, or click "What's New" at the top left, pretty much all of the products are non-affiliate links. Either way, we definitely aren't an original site idea - but I'd like to think that nobody is doing it better than us right now in terms of presenting cool, random, quirky, and sometimes WTF type stuff.

Another view on the matter. AMD is still better if you want a gaming processor in the mid 150$ price range and below.

How I look at it, today's AMD processors are not much but stopgap measures. Wait until Bulldozer is released, and then we can talk about this again.

Netflix blocks ip addresses that have too many people streaming from it. Most VPNs route you through one of their very few ip addresses, which are shared.

Some VPNs, like "Buffered", give you what's called a dedicated ip address. (your own personal one every time you switchbservers)

To be clear, this is a standard novel about superheroes and (more importantly) supervillains, very much like Soon I Will Be Invincible. It is not a graphic novel or comic book, but I think comic readers will really enjoy it.

In all fairness KA has started collaborating with others, the arts section being an example of it. I remember hearing talks about getting other people on board for the more advances subjects but i think that the plan for now is to fund the development of the site and to get it "feature complete". The match exercices is where KA really shines at the moment for me and that has been retooled quite a bit for the last two months. Actually it looks like today a new update just rolled out http://www.khanacademy.org/about/blog. One of the big additions i am looking forward to is an exercise section like the math section for physics and chemistry and the pop up question system which as the name implies pops up a question during a video about the concept just explained and only if you get it right you can continue on watching.

Cool. I've been doing some thinking on the problem and it is an interesting one. But! I just realized that my systems are all reachable from one another via end-to-end Internet (hooray for IPv6 and automagic VPN!). So, pushing changes to other clients in real time (or at least triggering selective pulls) won't involve stringing telegraph wires.

There's a lot of stuff out there that does 80% of the job (thanks to inotify and rsync), but nothing yet does 100%. A notable project is https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare, which works through the real-time problem using IRC. A pretty cool idea, really. Well, at least as long as nothing mis-interprets automatic connections to random IRC channels to coordinate activities among a set of automations as an act of war.

Imagine things like applying for a new credit card or buying a certain number of albums off iTunes gave you gamer points, but in real life.

Three things:

• The pencils could use a little smoothing. I'm using a pen tablet for writing and it looks a bit ugly.
• The links for sharing are a bit weird. I recommend links that look like this http://awwapp.com/draw/aa771f6d51 and keep them "persistent" in the sense that two people visiting the same link can immediately share a drawing. This way, I can send a single bookmark to my friends and we don't have to change the link for each session.
• Not sure about monetization, but I'm willing to give donations via Flattr.

From the Merriam-Webster dictionary, emphasis mine:

According to a well-respected dictionary, zero is a number.

On that note, anybody got any other free online education portals they would like to share?

I really like Coursera, but it's mostly on the side of maths and science. Which I love but I'm interested in getting my Mum into online education.

At 3Ghz, light travels 3.28 inches per clock cycle ( source ) so it's not really an issue. Plus, it's possible to arrange the pieces of the cpu so that anything that needs to be done in one cycle is close enough that it can communicate efficiently.

Only Sandy Bridge based processors are both faster and better value than almost anything by AMD right now.

If you want value, wait a few months until AMD releases actual competition to Sandy Bridge = AMD Vision processors. Price of everything should come down.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!g+%s

The whole look and feel is completely customizable in the settings -- if you find a font/layout combination you like please share it.

Happy to give out some free trials. We just can't do it unattended because of abuse. Also, if you're already with us and want to upgrade to this plan, use this link instead.

Hi,

I am trying something different, which is to write Windows program that has a very high degree of engineering and design polish and that is also intentionally kept very simple feature-wise.

The program is Bvckup 2 and it is a much revised and refined iteration of the original version from 2009. Two years in beta was plenty enough to understand that there is some interest in this kind of software, but it never hurts to ask more people, so here's my attempt to do just that.

So what do you, guys, think? Huh, meh or yay?

Here are some of my past projects. Some of you might have heard of Hamachi, the P2P VPN service I brought up and grew to a couple of million users back in 2004. It was my first take on a "complex guts behind simplistic UI" kind of software. This one is second.

Huh, looks like your ad is still working, 5 months later!

It's proving a great read so far, even for newbie like me :D

A couple of questions: any chance of you making a copy/pasteable version of your Pregame available on your site? Some of those URLs are long, and I'm lazy. Alternatively, any objections to me pirating a digital copy of your book for this purpose?

Also, would it be useful to have a Vagrant distribution of your setup? Means that anyone would be able to pull down a saved version like you suggest. It's probably how I'll save my backup copy, but I'll leave it up to you whether I make it publicly available. It's your suite of tools, so your call :)

Awesome work once more on the book - looking forward to becoming much more competent at offence!

Back when I was at school we were friends with the administrators so we ended up having a little cold war about getting past their security.

As I remember we won with this tactic : Resource hacker firefox.exe and copy "Verison Info" straight from iexplore.exe

Then you'd have to rename firefox.exe to iexplore.exe. Then finally you'd have to use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nightly-tester-tools/ to take away the "Mozilla Firefox" in the title bar, (I'm sure we used to use a hex editor to do it, but I can't find it in the firefox 4 executable)

I remember that working but this was a few years ago now.

I've been using rsync.net for a few years now, to backup personal and work related info.

These guys are really good and honest. Great customer service, they helped me build the scripts I use, and I eventually published them on github - https://github.com/yhager/rsync_backup

Not mentioned in this thread that they give discounts to open source developers, which makes them even cooler!

One of the authors pointed out that it's new and it's like facebook, a ponzi scheme at first https://steemit.com/steem/@fintekneeks/steem-is-a-ponzi-scheme-and-so-was-facebook. Most social media relied exclusively on growth and later focused on monetizing it. Steem might do the same? Don't know.

For me, I'm not HODLing.

hahaha hey guys.

Ive been an on and off customer, your service rules, you dont need to scare people :D

I will post here off my own back that if you need a vpn then these guys are very very good. Reliable as hell . (i used for streaming and the such ... never failed me!).

Also you can change locations in like 5 seconds, its brilliant for watching tv!

Private Internet Access gets the best review a vpn could from me! :)

(im in uk, never heard of ICRs)

After seeing the decline of Internet privacy I looked into a bunch of private VPNs. I ended up with Private Internet Access although I am sure others are just as good. The VPN uses shared IPs with no retention, meaning although sites can see the traffic they can't trace it back to anyone specific. My ISP only sees the bandwidth going through an encrypted UDP stream.

I've tested the VPN and tried to break it, but it works great.

I installed it on all my computers (work, home) as well as put it on my mobile devices (cell, ipad). I did some testingand have been getting no slow downs and even torrent, netflix, voip and game through the VPN.

At about 5$/m my privacy is totally worth it. I suggest others take similar measures. Also private browsing as well as blocking tracking cookies all helps.

I use Chrome permanently in incognito mode. Keep My Opt-Outs (cookie blocking) extension as well as some other anti-tracking extensions. Plus I use Truecrypt on all my computers and re-moveable devices. I also store all private data in a Truecrypt hidden partition.

I might go over board a little, but meh.. I like my privacy. I also use anonymous accounts and emails.

Please protect yourselves as much as possible.

Update: I forgot to mention, if you like the Internet please support it by supporting Internet privacy.

This is weird. I was given a 173.0.13.x IP and insists I'm somewhere in the UK and latency is actually lower to any server there than in the US. Yet I can watch Hulu just fine. What kind of sorcery is this?

So far I'm loving it. No ads or spyware! Yay! A million upboats.

Anyone that got premium, can you confirm if you got lower latency than the free service?

Edit: Directed to ProXPN - I was reading the policies and found the SPAM policy scary. It says:

> You will be charged $150 USD per spam complaint that we receive regarding your account.

What if my computer gets infected with a trojan/virus/spambot/etc? Please clarify before you get my credit card info.

Pay off debt with new debt. Rob Peter to pay Paul and convince yourself that heck, now that I've got all that bundled into one payment, I can afford even more debt, even though I was BROKE before!?!?!?!?

Pay off your debts and NEVER use credit again - you are a slave to your creditor. Imagine your life without the headache of using a high percentage of your income on monthly payments that accrued by buying things you don't need to impress people that you don't like. Buy Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover - set up a debt snowball and get that monkey off of your back.

The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham is a great book that everyone should read. It focuses on value investing. SMART long term investing.

Read up on modern portfolio theory. Watch free lectures on youtube. Don't get into the fancy technical-analysis and options trading stuff - that's called gambling.

I'd recommend browsing around for good subreddits too. /r/Investing for example. Or /r/FinancialIndependence.

There are so many resources available out there. Knowledge is free in this day and age, and remember that ignorance is a choice!

Hi UtMed, you can do that with our app on iOS & Android which allows you to download any video lecture. If you only want to listen to the lecture, you can simply start the video and then turn your phone to standby mode. The audio will continue playing in the background.

My name is Dan Chartrand and I wrote CritDice. If you like real dice, this app probably isn't for you. Personally, I always had a least a couple dice in my bag that I didn't trust and seemed to consistently roll low. Maybe it was just in my head, but the little dimples and imperfections on my dice made me doubt I was getting truly random rolls. Also, as my D&D 5e character gained levels, I found myself rolling more and more dice, which really slowed down the gameplay - especially if I had a few too many beers.

Being a cheapskate, I didn't want to invest in fancy precision-machined dice. Being a programmer, it occurred to me that (a) I already know how write code that can roll random numbers, (b) calculators are faster at adding numbers than beer-addled brain tissue, and (c) the current dice roller apps on Google Play are mostly yuck.

That's when I had my eureka moment and wrote CritDice. Now I'm getting truly random dice rolls and nobody needs to wait for me to add up my dice. Plus I can drink as much as I want, so that's a win-win.

What do you think? Has the time for dice roller apps like CritDice arrived? Or do you still prefer the real thing? Please consider trying CritDice just to compare with what you're currently using, be it real dice or another app. If you don't like it, please let me know so I can make it better. Or if you think it's the best dice roller ever, I'd love to hear that too. :)

CritDice is available on Google Play. You can also learn more on the CritDice website.

I'm guessing the writer of this has never been outside the US? Lets add a Canadian one to start with link

I know it's not a certification program for calories and nutritional info, but have you checked out MyFitnessPal?

It would be pretty easy to put your ingredients for each meal there and generate a nutritional report. I do it for all the things I cook, and it works like a charm.

Or if you're not comfortable publishing that directly on your site, you could include it in the instructions for your users, so they could generate their own nutritional information reports as part of learning to cook.

Just another angle for you to consider.

> Miners are not in control. There isn't a single place in the white paper that insinuates they are,

Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote.

Here you go kid.

> plus miners & nodes were the same thing when the white paper was written.

Which is why non mining nodes were and are still totally irrelevant in the consensus rules mechanism.

Here's some background on this ad.

I'm a new-ish meditator (I started two years ago) and it really changed my life. I can't imagine living without it. So, I've started promoting meditation through my company (Lift) as help for performance and productivity (I think the spiritual aspect of meditation is personal and people can come to that on their own).

As part of that we ran research on the meditation community on Lift (85,000 people), mostly to see if we could get any tips on what it takes to be a successful meditator.

Coaching comes out of that research. Having someone you can turn to helps take the struggle out of meditation and can give good tips for how to integrate meditation and mindfulness into the rest of your life.

Lift actually has dozens of meditation coaches, but I chose Giovanni to highlight because he's been getting good feedback from the people that work with him and because I like his writing. Here's another example of Giovanni's approach: https://medium.com/better-humans/5-things-i-learned-from-14-years-of-daily-meditation-894fb1174161
