Good point! It looks like all of the rules are here[1], so as long as there is oversight by the EFF, their repo isn't compromised, someone doesn't put out a fake build, etc., we should be safe.

Also it looks like[2] some rules are built in such a way that only the protocol is changed and the domain is left as-is.

Quote from a previous article (so I wouldn't attribute all 8% to bots):

  We’re experimentally removing CAPTCHA and using other methods for spambot detection.
  We know it’s annoying for humans, and are starting to worry the bots are actually enjoying it.
  Plus, our visual CAPTCHA was failing on accessibility for non-visual redditors.

Honestly I would just be happy with an extension that uses local storage to store notes on a per-contact basis like Rapportive used to. I don't need any other fancy features and don't want to worry about a privacy policy/ToS.

On the contrary, virtually no exchange can currently provide that kind of liquidity, so if someone is looking to be a Bitcoin bag-holder this is a great entry point. So I wouldn't be surprised if it went for > market value.

Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. And I'm weary as to how reliable their automated methods for tamper detection are (if someone really cares they would want every image manually examined anyway).

It also seems like these two quotes are contradictory:

It won't necessarily help you figure out if a photo shared on Facebook is too good to be true...

...Izitru also could help when people need to send photos to...others who would want to be sure a photo is legitimate

Seems like it was caused by a power outage.

  1:09AM EDT (UTC -4): The Newark datacenter has suffered from a power outage. We are working on bringing Linodes back up as soon as possible.

The track/car generation is done through JS, so some modifications aren't anything Chrome Dev Tools can't handle. Add to that the fact that the "best" car is populated into the gene pools of all the other users and that's the outcome.
