The reddit platform is open source. Just as Soylent News runs on modified Slashcode, there are already other sites out there using reddit's codebase or forks thereof.
What is it this time??
Your bank's grammar verification code clearly hadn't been fixed.
Therefore this accidentally and somewhat embarrassingly mimics that behaviour.
You mean apes that behaviour?
Granted the BBB has used the same AL business model for a century and is still un-sued. I expect they get away with it by never having any money, that can't be AL's method.
The BBB has been sued plenty of times. My understanding is that Angie's List has never turned a profit. They're both scams in my opinion.

This is a *security* focused appliance that made this goof from one of the more well regarded vendors in the market.
"Goof?" I'm not convinced. It's just as likely that this was engineered into the products intentionally.
News broke last year that NSA was intercepting Cisco equipment enroute to customers and making a few tweaks. Cisco made a big production a few months ago about how they were suddenly willing to ship to random addresses to avoid NSA interdiction. Perhaps that's because whatever NSA needs is already built in, and always has been, and the whole story about NSA physically yanking packages from carriers was misdirection. Put that story out there and people who are able to control the delivery chain will have a strong, but very false, sense of security.
Why in the heck aren't they doing this research again?
They are, but when they find something, they add it to their arsenal and use it themselves instead of alerting anyone to the vulnerability. This fact was the subject of some hand-waving from the White House earlier in the year. There's a good chance NSA has known about several of these for a long time, which is a little disconcerting since the Adobe Type Manager exploit may date back to 1998.
Youtube uses HTML5 now. Why does anyone still have a reason to use flash?
Most functionally useful weather radars, including NOAA's, require Flash. My state's Department of Transportation uses Flash for their traffic cameras. Livestream.com, which hosts my local TV news broadcasts along with other stuff like SpaceX launches, is still Flash. And if I want to view any cable TV programming on the computer, Comcast's player is Flash based.
I'd love to have uninstalled Flash a long time ago; for the time being I have to keep it around and use Flashblock.
Big data is like sex in high school. Nobody really knows exactly what it is or how to do it, but everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone says they're doing it, too.
I see a "Share" menu has replaced what used to be the link to read each story's comments. I clicked "Share" by accident, intending to click through and load the discussion. You fooled me and my muscle memory one time. In exchange, you've pissed me off and guaranteed that I won't ever use that feature. What's the point?
I think it's funny, there's a story just down the front page titled "Are There Any Search Engines Left That Don't Try To Think For Me?" I might ask the same about Slashdot, lately!
Not only that, but at the time of the Moon landing, the Russians themselves were rather heavily involved in that arena. Had the landing been faked, Russia absolutely would have known; they would have distributed the proof far and wide to humiliate and one-up the Americans. It's just a tad late for a Russian to start asking questions.
Announcing to the world that you've been infiltrated by Mossad is a decision that must be weighed by some enormous number of calculated steps.
If you're correct, you will be accused of being anti-Semitic.
If you're wrong, you will be accused of being anti-Semitic.

So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
