What's the cheapest way of getting karma for a brand new account? Making comments requires thought. Finding interesting content is time consuming. But arbitraging Reddit content, that's trivial.
And that's why submitting trash needs to come with a karma penalty.
I've used a REST service for this from pifilter.com - cost was 0.1 cents per image. Results were generally good, but notable false positives include a pastrami sandwich.
A few years ago, I was in a big box store and overheard a young (~10y/o) child and his mother picking out a new video game. The kid excitedly picked up a box and asked his mom if he could get that one. She checked out the cover, then started reading the rating. "Rated 'mature' for sexual content? No way!" "Aw, man! Ok, how about this one?" "Rated 'mature' for extreme graphic violence? Well... ok."
1. This has nothing to do with the article. 2. I doubt that ever happened. Why would she read aloud the rating? Looks like a post straight from reddit.
My story is about another perverse way in which puritannical culture considers sex taboo, but violence perfectly acceptable.
2. I don't know how to respond to being called a liar outright. It doesn't seem likely that I'd be able to convince you that this happened.
3. I've only been to reddit two or three times and didn't see the value. So I wouldn't be a good judge of that. I take that that's supposed to be derogatory in some way.
4. I'm not sure how you're trying to add to the discussion. I was making a comment on the societal and moral underpinnings and ramifications of the kind of technology described in TFA. If I may make a suggestion: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

The violence is fake. The nudity is real.

If you're being serious, I'd love to hear more.

Well I really think that's why it bothers people. If the movie actually had people being beaten up or dismembered etc. I think they would care a lot more. But it's fake, so it doesn't matter.
1. The anecdote above was re picking out a video game, so I don't think any nudity was real. I can't remember, but I think it was a Grand Theft Auto game.
2. That doesn't really speak to the question of why people are so afraid of nudity.

1. The article is about an algorithmic way to try to shield people from the horrifying notion of seeing flesh-colored pixels.

As for calling you liar, I apologize. Next time I will just use the flag button. Thanks.
Potential HN karma hack: create new account and post stories from Reddit that haven't already appeared. That's not necessarily what happened here, but I am slightly suspicious.
