Today I learned that sharing an intelligent/insightful comment is potentially violent enough to be worth commenting on.

I guess I'll just make dumb and obvious statements from now on, since I value peace.

It's all about the relationship. If Zuckerberg keeps even a small portion of his wealth at this bank or managed by their advisors, that's a huge win for them as they've increased their capital base available to lend to other customers.
She'd been responsible for one of Google's most successful products, and had been praised by the founders as a key early hire.

She'd also helped create and shape Google's culture and arguably brought with her to Yahoo several billion dollars worth of Google's trade secrets and operational strategies, not to mention her knowledge of key players inside google who Yahoo might be able to poach to accomplish specific initiatives.

Yahoo had already tried a media exec and its own founder, neither of whom could figure out a recipe for success.
Why don't you speak with some handicapped victims of terror of the parents of children killed by terrorists or the loved ones of victims of 9/11. Make it real. Think of these people.

I for one, know people who have lost loved ones from terrorists besides just missing out on it myself.
This highlights why it's important to see how VCs operate over time on issues like these. Some VCs make transition rounds easier than others.
You'd have to be out of your mind or staggeringly naive to think this isn't happening. Or is it just a coincidence that the people who are big movers and shakers in areas that shake up government apparently are all rapists and evil?

I doubt that. You must be at least partially aware that people often have long commutes and/or expectations of long work weeks.

That argument is good until it is not. Unfortunately, when it is not is precisely when one needs it.
Monkeys on typewriters is right. Quantopian always had some major red flags with it. I always figured they were just a play to develop algorithms for someone else.

They only focus on the trading algorithms with no support whatsoever for portfolio allocation, risk management, money management, etc.

This appeals to random-joe gamblers, and is the ideal approach if you're a hedge fund looking to copy ideas. People develop algorithms for you, but are blind to all the missing pieces (risk, money mgmt, etc).

I broke my right pinky about a year ago, and splinted it up at home with the help of a med school friend. It came in a little crooked, but I saved a few thousand in medical bills! It's not like I need my right pinky to sell software, play guitar, ski, or do anything fun :) .

I've always wondered if it made more sense to go to a veterinarian for broken bones / torn muscles... I went to physical therapy for a rotator cuff issue, and it wasn't cheap!

Oddly enough Steam isn't that great for developers either.
It takes a huge cut, it takes cut of all microtransactions, it bullies developers into price fixing and sales, and it abuses it's de facto monopoly to ransom developers that want to publish on Steam.

For consumers it ain't that great either, the curation process on steam is non existent, it does not force developers to maintain compatibility, the search option is very bad and you can not filter games based on release year (you can only see the year they released on steam and I've seen people buying 15 year old games by mistake).
Steam ties you into their DRM (you can also use a 3rd party DRM if you want) and their API's.

Saying that Steam is somehow the champion of open gaming on Windows is silly, it's a monolithic monopoly that does pretty much my way or the highway moves all the time.
So far I haven't seen any evidence that MSFT has any interest in killing Win32, but maybe it should, if UWP can become a better platform at the end I don't see any reason to stick to Win32 when developing applications.
All our mobile platforms have a single store, Apple has it's own store, based on the few UWP games that have been pirated you can install UWP applications without using the store, MSFT can in the end support 3rd party distributors.
And if it doesn't well TBH considering that Steam hasn't been a champion for consumers for a long time, I don't really see it as being a "bad" thing, and if Microsoft makes them worry maybe they'll get their shit together again.
IANA Insanity – or, how I learned to stop .worrying and .love the .new .internet
Most other comments sort of hinted at it, but I feel like no one really said it:

If Microsoft makes the Windows Store the only place for users to get applications, then they can abuse that position like you can abuse any monopoly. They could start charging developers more or make life harder for developers who offer a product that competes with one of Microsoft's products or push through any policies they want etc.
Finally! In HN I have finally truly found the loving, caring crowd that really cares about ethics in game journalism above everything else! Keep up the good work folks!
> Free speech has a legal definition, and Twitter doesn’t qualify.

The legal definition of free speech is based on a moral principle, for which Twitter does qualify.

When a platform such as Twitter or Facebook becomes the de facto public square, then a ban from Twitter or Facebook is a de facto ban from the public square.

I don't care about Milo in particular, but I do care about the fact that censorship by Twitter or Facebook is real censorship.
There are basically two kinds of elections in the US:

General elections are public elections in which anybody who meets certain requirements and is willing to invest the effort can run. As a public election any voter can vote for any candidate. If the candidate has been nominated by a political party, that party will be indicated on the ballot (and most Americans simply vote or the candidate nominated by their party of choice).

Primary elections are basically a private affair undertaken by a political party in order to choose a candidate who they will nominate for a general election. Primaries are facilitated by the public voting system and tend to be influenced by lots of state laws, but most of the specific rules governing a primary are left to the political party (and sometimes delegated to that party's state level organizations).

So parties get to make all kinds of rules about their primaries. In many states (it is subject to state law) parties limit participation in their primary to their members, or more often they disallow members of other parties (but allow someone who hasn't declared a party affiliation). The theory seems to be that this makes it more difficult for one party to ask their members to vote in another party's primary, in an attempt to nominate a candidate who wouldn't be viable in the general election.
In the US at least (I can't speak for elsewhere), preventing this is illegal. Companies discourage it through various ways and it's practically an embedded culture thing at this point throughout the country. But: you cannot legally prevent it.

The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 is what you're looking for here - it provides employee protections for such discussions.

It's probably worth elaborating your opinion here. I've used ClojureScript heavily and feel I have a good sense of the comparison, but someone else reading your comment wouldn't be any better informed for it.

I'm genuinely curious as to your comparison though, would love to read it!
Logic and math? We bought two years ago, my mortgage + taxes are about the same as what it would cost to rent a similar home today in the same neighborhood. I grew up in the bay area and remember my parents buying a home for $16,000 and selling for $28,000 thinking they made a killing in the real estate market. This area started back in the gold rush and continues today on the boom bust cycle. But having been through a few, the low of the current cycle is still usually higher than the high of a cycle or two before. I also think we may be entering a period world wide where there is more people with money than nice places to live. I have noticed as well that there are not enough "starter" homes, so they don't fall in the busts as much as the higher end homes tend to.

Disclaimer: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password

Yea, we hear you there. I (and others on the team) wish we could make this happen, but priorities are a tough one. Linux in general didn't fit all that great in our standalone license model before, along with being closed source. Now with the subscription option for individuals (new today), families and teams we have made the payment side a little less of a concern but we still have the closed source nature of things making Linux a harder target to hit.

We're probably in a better position now than before though. Every time I asked a Linux user who wasn't asking for this they said they had no interest in paying for closed source software. I wanted all the positive response I could get to show to the decision makers but I fell short in getting it.

This is all to say it's simply a complicated situation. It has to either make money to pay for its development, or the others have to offset it enough that it's a win for us so we can keep the lights on.

Hope that helps a little anyway. I know it's not the answer you wanted but I hate leaving people like yourself wondering why it feels like we aren't listening.

Very interesting if true. I'm tempted to build an extension just to check that.

I wonder if a DOM mutation event would be triggered if a content script adds a new link element and changes it's href.

Would I be able to catch that and quickly change the href, before the content script continues to fecth the processed properties?
That seems to assume that

* The judicial system is the only system capable of determining facts.

* Our adversarial-driven judicial system is an effective way of determining facts.

Neither of those are true. The ability of any group of independent experts to collect information/evidence, analyze it, and come to a conclusion about a reasoned set of facts and inferences is something I am comfortable assuming. This happens all the time, and I can't help but think that the context here (i.e., a man harassing a women) has some influence on this point of view.

What TOR produced and published is in my eyes perfectly appropriate and reasonable. Bad conduct not always does, nor should it, necessitate a judicial investigation. Especially when that investigation is carried out by the state who have a significant tension with the TOR project. Not to mention that the victims have asked for that not to happen.
One doesn't often get a chance to commiserate publicly about ingrown toe nail problems, so I'm going to take the opportunity to very enthusiastically second this. OP, go see a podiatrist ASAP. After numerous dealings with infected and painful to walk on toes, I went through a simple in office procedure where the podiatrist numbed my toes, snipped off the edges of the nail, then put some chemical at the nail base so they wouldn't grow back. I haven't thought about my toe nails since and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's improved my quality of life not having to deal with those issues anymore.

Ah okay, that makes sense now! You're on a much shorter upgrade cycle than what I imagined.
a bit of a strange argument. Twitter's salty environment is the nature of the beast in many ways. He seems to have some idealized nature of "how it should be" vs "how it is". Also, make clear distinctions about where you feel Twitter went wrong as a business and where you just don't like it ( <- this is by far my biggest pet peeve of engineers talking about other products). Pretty pointless article.
Just want confirm that while eachro's response here may sound flippant, I feel it's actually the plain truth and good advice.

This continued attempt to redefine violence to include words disturbs me in a very fundamental way. It's a legitimate attempt to make thoughtcrime viable by people who firmly believe all human ills can be solved if you just wag enough fingers in faces.

The tension is that Twitter wants to be both a place for both news in the moment and for actual conversations. It's fine for the former but terrible at the latter. That itself isn't terrible -- they could just drop or de-emphasize conversation functions and call it a day. But Twitter is a public company that, rightly or wrongly, feels the need to boost engagement and you don't get great numbers if your users only log in when something big and important is happening.

That's right. It is easier to down vote my posts suggesting empathy for terror victims than to think about a conversation with them. Try to imagine talking to the parents of this 13 year old American girl.

The idea is that if you choose a good enough icon, you won't confuse people who know the old one. Users are at this point used to encountering unfamiliar icons and trying to quickly guess what they mean, so if a sufficiently communicative icon is chosen there should be no problem.

Importantly, the user has no reason to directly contrast the new icon to the old one. The user doesn't answer the question "Is this icon as effective as that old one?", they simply have to answer the question "Do I know how to perform the action I want to perform?", and as long as your save icon clearly communicates its meaning, there shouldn't be much/any confusion when the user tries to save. They'll look for something that seems to say "Click me to save", they'll see your icon, they'll say "Hey, that looks like it means 'Save'!", and they'll try it. (Aside: I don't say this randomly, I'm speaking from experience here; there have been plenty of applications in recent years that have tried out new "Save" icons, and I can't say I've ever had a problem figuring out how to save with any of them.)

As far as what "the point" is in changing out the icon, the point is that the entire reason for using action icons on buttons, etc. is to give the user an intuitive sense of what action will be performed when they click it, and as time goes on, the link between the floppy disk and digital storage will become weaker and weaker. And while it may be true that we could drag that symbol with us by convention, my question would be, why bother? If we can come up with something better, especially if we can find something that isn't tied to any specific technology (and I'd argue that we have), isn't this an improvement? I can't think of any advantage the old icon has over new ones other than the small advantage that it's familiar, but, as I said above, I don't think that's enough.

In other words, instead of asking "Why should we get rid of the floppy disk icon?", I honestly think the better question is, "Why not get rid of the floppy disc icon?"
I think the most interesting (and perhaps hopeful) aspect here is that people now have an expectation of fairness in the selection of party candidates. That's a relatively new phenomenon. In the past, I think people widely assumed that the party was biased towards individual candidates. Even now, that's clearly the case when the sitting President is a candidate. I personally think that expecting an unbiased party structure is unrealistic, given the very nature of the organization. The party doesn't have a product, other than its opinion. The idea that an organization of partisans only arrives at that collective opinion through primaries and caucuses seems quite naive to me.
AOSP does and Cyanogen is based on AOSP. Arguably AOSP is a separate platform from full license Android and it's AOSP that is experiencing the ballooning growth in the ultra-low-end markets, but it's universally counted into Android adoption and sales figures by everyone that publishes those.

That's why I used the word mischaracterize. It doesn't really examine intent, it points at the result.

For instance, you can mischaracterize something by not understanding it or by not being informed at all about it or by intentionally lying.

I'm interested in the consequences of, instead of "everyone" carrying out SENPAI, having a more efficient STB Matching System (Spin The Bottle).

Sure, it could backfire: interested parties may fall victims of the universe's Random Number Generator, but it makes for some interesting Game Theory dynamics, which I call the Tinder Card Stack Dilemma.

Any one party could be more willing to express interest in any of the other parties (assigned by STB), if they believe there is a low chance of them being matched with someone else they are more interested in.

On the other hand, they could become more picky, and only express interest in parties they are very interested in, rejecting others because they believe there is a high chance of them being matched with greater interests.

There is a definite trade off between efficiency and overall population happiness when choosing between STB and the solution described in the paper. Because STB is more efficient, it ends up being way more scale-able. But bigger populations greatly intensify the TCSD.

We had ways of dealing with this on Usenet back in the day. 1) Thick skin, and 2) killfiles. Generally, killfiles weren't for people with whom you disagreed (though they could be, if you wanted), they were for people who were assholes.

>The man deserved what he got

No. Twitter incorrectly used him as some kind of example. They had also did temp bans on him in the past and also the immature move of removing his check mark.

The harassment was happening WELL before Milo was tweeting the ghostbuster. Milo wrote the article. Milo's tweets weren't anywhere NEAR harassment level. Trolling a famous person on twitter is not harassment and brigading. And as many have already shown the ghostbuster herself was just as guilty in the past of attempts at brigading.

There's even some communication from her where she was actually thrilled the incident would give exposure to her and the movie. Whatever people think of this, Milo didn't cause her any suffering or feeling of being 'unsafe' Other harassers were deplorable. Milo was not in that category.

Avoiding interaction with the state is understandable. However, the state is not the only option. Various types of arbitration could be used, for example. These may not have the power to enforce criminal punishments like the state, but as you said, they already dismissed that option.
