On Information-Based Empathy
We had an interesting discussion yesterday about the tendency we all have to choose information that validates our beliefs and reject the information that doesn't. The conversation focused mostly on the politics of the moment, both the conservative/liberal divide and...more »

A Question for the Community: To Hack or Not To Hack?
Atrios:It's important to remember that none of us are above the fray, that we all have hackish tendencies to suppress information which doesn't fit our worldview and privilege information that does. We're more likely to excuse behavior from people we...more »

The comments were accidentally off on this previously. Not MJ's fault and not intentional. Fixed now.

Actually, I believe the system is set up to only hold back posts with more than 10 links, and we're going to be working on pushing even those out if they're not spam faster now that we have a few more folks helping for the summer.

Ben's right, and it's already a glitch that's being looked at. There is no editorial oversight before a comment goes up (unless it has a ton of links and gets flagged by the system as possible spam). The only editorial oversight of the comments is if you guys let us know someone's trolling/spamming/generally being an ass and we'll come in and pushback or delete the comment. So do let us know.
In terms of the reply system, we're looking into it.

I've xxx'ed out the sign-in information you put on this thread.
The point of having folks email our tech people for that information was to make sure that we could manage the process and know who was going on to the beta site. If we wanted to just post the sign-in information we would have done that in the first place.
If folks would like to check out the testing site (and we'd love for you to do just that) please email tpmbugs at gmail dot com and they'll send you the info.
Thanks.
