My only personal experience with "safe places" is in "safe place imagery" which is a very cool visualization technique used for relaxation, meditation, and even in therapy along with amazing tricks like EMDR for helping to manage or eliminate triggers and "zero out" extremely stressful memories.

Quite as it should be, the best "safe place" is the one we create for ourselves in our mind. I never imagined students would demand a real-world physical equivalent that somehow everyone else in the room is supposed to comply with.

I think a bigger issue with regards to usernames and email is the fact that neither are titlecased before getting indexed.

How does the United States have the authority to set laws governing asteroids? What if I am not in the US, not a US citizen, and launch a spacecraft from somewhere other than the US and go ravage some asteroids for resources? Why is this not an international treaty jointly made by at least the space-capable nations?
> Zuck, from advertising and selling 'your' data

IMO that's a really narrow-minded read of what Facebook is. >1B people log into products he founded every day. He lets advertisers target you using data you've provided, as you sit on the platform he helped build, but I'm not convinced that makes him an evil dude.
Huh. I see someone posted an article about police corruption to Hacker News...

- declaration that the US is a police state? Check.

- assertion that all police are criminals? Check.

- call for the repeal of all drug laws? Check.

- argument about whether or not black people are genetically predisposed to violence and criminality? check.

Now all this thread needs is a tangential discussion about the Second Amendment and I'll have bingo.
> The entire premise of the Chromebook is that nothing is stored locally

A piece of hardware doesn't have a premise. I installed Linux on my Chromebook. Is that wrong?

At what point did we stop decoupling software and hardware?

I'll pass on that notion.

> I've seen no evidence of data mining

You're kidding, right? I promise you, Google is keeping tabs on every byte passing their servers. So is everyone else. Hell, so am I with my servers.

> I imagine just them using Gmail and Google apps is far more valuable than any fruitless advertising to people that can't spend money.

What? Google makes money through advertising. They can't advertise if they don't know what you like. They only get paid when you click. So yeah, they data mine GMail and all the other Google Apps to know what ads to show you. And they show them on all of their properties.

That's why there's a switch there to stop sharing with other services, etc. and that's why they're now promising to have that off by default.
So imagine this was a company and a customer wanted a relative's data because they died. Wouldn't you require they deliver proper proof? The FOIA requests all work this way. They just want a cursory check that the person reasonably died so the government employee is not on the hook for verifying it. If you knowingly deliver false proof you are defrauding the federal government instead of a government employee on the hook for releasing records incorrectly because they made the wrong call. It allows any reasonably trained person to make sure the documentation was supplied correctly and process the request.

Pylons average about 30 tons each and steel costs $300-$400 per ton. The UK has about 88,000 pylons. If the new design increases the weight by 20%, then material costs alone would be about $2100 each or $168 million to replace them all.
It's one thing to have a different opinion - I often upvote people with whom I have a different opinion.

It's entirely another to make a claim about facts which is not supported - in this case by evidence that is not controversial.

It's simply not so that black people commit crimes in proportion with the representation in the criminal justice system. In fact, if poverty and geography are controlled for, ethnicity and race seem to be non-determiners of criminality.

This is explained, among many other places, here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kim-farbota/black-crime-rates-...
Try again without the facetiousness. I don't mean like a piece of paper saying 'thou shalt'. I mean by implementing systems where, by design, the decisionmakers over roles that police each other have no way to influence one another. For example, those who are in charge of policing the police shouldn't also be in charge of working with the police on policing other people. I don't mean auditors, I mean those who then receive the information from internal audits and are responsible for making judgements based on it.
"Disagreeing" on facts is not compatible with reasoned discussion too, especially when one couches their opinion in such clearly unreasoned ways such as "go ahead and downvote me." This person knows that they're trolling, and does it anyway.
Reddit may have started as a content aggregator, but there are plenty of subs that mostly or only have original/self-posted content. talesfrom*, various hobby groups, support groups, crowd-sourced advice columns like legaladvice or relationships.

Not to belittle their accomplishments, but the press releases after they successfully put some serious flows through the pre-chiller made it seem like there was a guaranteed outcome of a working powerplant within a decade, and a vehicle within 15 years. Despite the exotic fuels, powerplant, and mission profiles.

The F-22 was conceived in the middle of the 80s, had an effectively bottomless pit of funding from DoD after winning the contract in the early 90s, and look when those first came online (2005). And that was just burning JP-8.

I mean: just to be clear, as the giver of the quote, the context for it is that I was summarizing the feeing of other people who saw the book. I was a super strong supporter of the idea that this was too well-done to be a marketing stunt.

That said, it was just incredibly labor intensive for something with no commercial or even reputational return.

"criminality" is not an inherent trait in any race, including black Americans. The increased crime rates are a function of a number of inputs, many of which stem all the way back to slavery-- which has never fully been addressed/redressed in our public policy. To fail to recognize this and treat "black criminality" as some initial condition is to fail to critically think about our collective history and the resulting consequences.
That's not what he said, nor is it even implied by the comment.
Ah, sure. I wasn't proposing it's a solution to floating point incompatibilities, but for the lock-step engine.
While I agree that the police have a history of horrific abuse of asset forfeiture laws, this oft-quoted event doesn't tell the whole story. The 2104 numbers were skewed greatly based on a proper $1.7 Billion forfeiture from Bernie Madoff. Most of this money went back to his victims:

I agree this should probably have a solution or at least documentation to be wary of.
Who are the most powerful people in the media right now?
There's history.google.com where you can see pretty much everything that you've ever done with a Google product. You can even delete everything and disable tracking if you need to.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I think some police officers don't even realize the extent to which they can totally fuck up your life. Then there are the ones that know it well and enjoy it. Or the ones that think they are planting that evidence in order to get the bad guy and the ends justify the means. Since there's historically been no check and balance behind the Blue Wall absolute power has corrupted absolutely.

Police are like the proverbial bull in a china shop. There may be a need one day to call on that bull, but they'll probably leave one hell of a mess, and hope you don't get trampled in the process.

There was a great post a couple weeks on the front page about a guy traveling through Germany I think it was, for a contracting software gig. He got detained on the bus because a cop "smelled pot" and you can imagine how the story went from there. His biggest personal takeaway was exactly as you say, treating people like this must be creating an awful lot of criminals.

There may be cops out there who still believe they are civil servants, and stewards of our constitutional rights. Who understand the terrible power they wield, and insist on always operating within the law. Who arrest civilians as a last resort. Eh, who am I kidding? 'Protect and Serve' changed to 'Shoot to Kill' a long time ago.

BTW, if that's your #1, I'm almost afraid to read your #2 and #3!

This is just made up shit that sounds good in your head. Even if we suppose for a moment that what you should have kept to yourself is true, what do you expect black people to do? In a dysfunctional relationship the person in the position of overwhelming power is the one that needs to change. Who "started" it is irrelevant.
For 1), even modern liberal people still have racist-like prejudices which are not intrinsically different. We're led to believe it's wrong to discriminate based on race so we just transfer our discrimination to some other classification. Blacks are OK, but not if they're from Africa. Indians are OK but not if they're from India. Whites are OK but not if they're from Syria, Irish are OK but not if they're from Ireland. That is, racism has morphed into nationalism, which is widely acceptable so we feel it's OK.

Similarly, homophobia has morphed into "pedophobia". We can't hate gays anymore but we're plenty virulent at hating pedophiles. Just the same emotions transferred to another group.

Inside, most of us are still basically the same bigoted people, but we've restructured our bigotry to fit the popular modern values.

He's not selling the shares. He said they "will give 99% of our Facebook shares." If he sold appreciated stock and donated the proceeds, he'd still have to pay tax on the capital gains, and could only deduct the amount of the actual donation, which would be smaller after tax.

By donating stock directly, he still gets to deduct the full value of the stock without paying any tax, and the charity (or more likely, private foundation) gets to keep the full value without paying any tax. And it could take as long as it wanted to liquidate the stock and get the best price.

Good comment by Gates. It's the difference between giving out of your excesses and giving out of your poverty.
The best thing you can do is not call for some overarching policy banning whatever annoys you (politics, culture war, lame memes) but simply downvote, make constructive comments about how this is a waste of time, or just ignore those submissions.

This sort of thing tends to ebb and flow with election cycles, especially for U.S. based commenters. It's going to get more annoying as the next year goes on, but for whatever reason people feel the need to share their opinions on this more during important elections (whether the majority of people consider it worth reading or not).

IMO, silent tolerance (up to a point) is more discouraging than engaging with the nonsense as it gives them nothing to push back against. I'm also reminded of this post of an IRC chat room where (apparently) one person is arguing with themselves in an otherwise empty room about some kind of political point. While you may want to believe you are engaging with a worthwhile opponent, you could be talking to that person, and you just don't know it.

Plus there are scenarios where choice is not available, for example, Comcast as the only ISP in town etc.

I suppose one could choose not to use the Internet in that case but that's not really a viable solution.

It's an asymmetric fight which individuals are on the losing end and given what we now know post-Snowden, I'd argue that greater privacy protection is absolutely necessary and available to all those who desire it.
Personally, I don't believe a single damn word out of a police officer's mouth. Particularly so if they are under oath. It has nothing to do with race, I don't care who the defendant is.

They say the least reliable form of testimony is eyewitness accounts. Actually, I think the police have the eyewitness beat on this account. Too bad I've never had jury duty, and even if I did I'd probably be dismissed, so unfortunately I'll never get my chance as one of the 12 angry jurists to apply this in practice.

It seems like there are more and more like-minded people who will outright dismiss the grand-standing Detective and insist on just the facts please. Show me actual proof because your word is truly worthless.

If done right, I think that I would be interested. It's hard to get people active in a niche network compared to a Facebook group or a subreddit, but certain features could make it worth it. Here's one geeky network I recently came across that I think is executed well: https://gemr.com/

Shameful plug (hope this is ok, this is my first HN comment), but I'm also working on a "social network for geeks" but is more specific to developers and designers: https://codebee.io/ It's a big hurdle to keep users active but it's a side project and haven't been able to devote a lot of time.
These concerns are spurious. You describe situations in which most cops, "nice" or not, would simply turn the camera off. Other situations include using the restroom or making personal phone calls. No one ever said the camera had to be on all the time; how would that even be enforced?

The camera should be on in any situation that might later be a subject of dispute. If it's off in such a situation, the courts should consider that a reason to disbelieve the cop who turned it off. A cop who doesn't possess the judgement to operate a camera, probably doesn't possess the judgement to carry a firearm either.

These police officers are probably as guilty as sin. But the fact that their accusers have used the polygraph against them reduces the credibility of the evidence against the corrupt police. Polygraphs are junk science.
