I’d certainly like to aim to increase the level of disclosure at 538 going forward. Sometimes what happens is that I have best intentions to write a super detailed, 5000-word methodology post, and then some senate candidate does or says something stupid, and I get caught up in the news cycle and it gets forgotten about. Which is a pretty lame excuse, I know. At the same time, 538 is a commercial business and the ability to license proprietary intellectual property is a fairly big part of how I make my living, so the disclosure would probably stop short of outright releasing source code or my database in most cases.

Nate Silver is doing a Reddit AMA right now. You should tune in.

Barack Obama is doing a Reddit AMA right now (er, he was, the site’s down at the moment). 

The writer of our cover story about the Internet making us all crazy, depressed, and lonely will be hosting a Reddit AMA (where you can ask him anything) at 1pm ET. Here’s his user account. Refresh around 1 for the link. We’ll also update this post once it’s live.

UPDATE: Here’s the AMA link!

Happening live: Our Google Hangout with the prolific Occupy Wall Street reporter Tim Pool, Meta-Activism Project founder Mary Joyce, tech mentor and Forbes blogger Tara Tiger Brown, and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian for a conversation about The Newsweek Daily Beast Digital Power Index. 

This is happening right now with Scott Johnson, the reporter of our ‘The Hunt for Kony’ feature. Come ask him anything!

Edit: Gah! With this link you can come ask him anything.

That “hope” link is Sully’s Obama feature.

I am the only candidate that’s been there. I went because I support their sentiment. Something is wrong with Wall Street. The big check beats the good idea. It’s the same thing that’s wrong with Washington, DC. I don’t take the big check, PAC money. Im free to lead, that’s what this campaign is about. I support the protesters PERIOD.

A timely AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit: “When I was 15, my parents found out that I was gay and sent me to ex-gay camp in Iowa to cure me of my ‘illness’/sexuality, as well as reparative therapy with a man who specialized in ‘heterosexualization.’”
