This title is very misleading. The corruption lies in the hands of the subreddit moderators, not the admins. The moderator in the interview is just complaining about how there is a lack of communication with subreddit moderators and administrators, and how the more connections you have the more responsive the admins will be. This isn't much of a video revealing corruption, rather anecdotes about how the authority system works.

Awesome use of Helmholtz!

The source for the article has more info if anyone's interested: http://jasmcole.com/2014/08/25/helmhurts/

Also OP, be sure to use vertical bars ( | ) around a quote.

I've never heard of that http/https switching method. I'd think larger websites would benefit from it, but does varnish cache frequently enough to not hinder lurkers?

It's disappointing how most companies's idea of competition is based off of meaningless titles. It's even bleeding into consumers! I've had debates over platforms and one of the "leading" arguments is which application store is more populated.

Exactly. I think this is a misstep because it ironically introduces another language barrier to programming. The message is clear and it's good, but it deters away from all of us being united by code.
