In my grandparent post, I advocate treating trigger warnings and safe spaces separately. I have no intention of defending safe spaces in a university context.

Trigger warnings do not prevent the consideration of any particular idea. They help students choose the best time to engage with the material in question. If you've been warned that a particular piece of content is potentially disturbing, you can schedule your reading (or viewing) for when you're ready- so afterwards you can actually think about it instead of attending to your screaming autonomic nervous system.
Skype for Business is one of those terrible products that makes me want to speak to someone that helped build it and ask "what happened?"

I had a fear of heights that bordered on panic attacks. I worked out of the 29th floor of a building for the first time in my life and felt like half of the day was spent thinking about how high I was.

I was looking for housing and every highrise I had to look out the window and feel a wave of intense panic. So I chose a highrise, and made myself look out the window all the time. Took some time, but I definitely don't have the same reaction I used to. I'm actually totally fine.
I'm against making already cramped roads smaller, especially when the cyclists are going to ride in the middle of the road, regardless. I will definitely look into it though, any good write ups or should I just check the city's webpage?
Yup, thankfully Tesla is carrying on that torch. Went from Saturn -> Tesla and the new purchase experience was very similar(aside from ordering the Tesla on a website).

I think Saturn showed that the model most consumers want is going to have to come from a non-incumbent who doesn't have the baggage of existing dealers.
What's insufficient about the background checks Uber already performs? If they're quantifiably less safe than other transportation mechanisms, customers will vote with their wallets.

I'd be opposed to adding additional regulation if not needed.
Because they'd get sent to an asylum. Because you had to keep all mental issues to yourself, lest you be seen as weak and shut out of normal society. Because it really, really, really sucked to be a victim of trauma for most of history.

It's not like people were so much stronger back then that no women complained about the normalization of sexual assault, it's that those that did were forcibly silenced. It's not that mental health issues didn't exist, they were just quickly swept under the rug.

Since slack people will pass by here. Please, if i set not disturb then don't disturb me: no notification, no badge icon (!!), nothing! (maybe just when the people, after been warned that they may disturb still send the notification). then when i remove the not disturb your nice slackbot can tell me what i missed.

Why am I asking so? beacuse I use pomodoro and i've a script that sets slack to "do not disturb" when i'm in the pomodoro and switch it off (to the pls bother me mood) when i'm done.
Oh my, I was doing my best to not see that new message. I thought it was just a glitch that would go away soon enough. But now you've done it, I can't unsee it any more!

Update: I'm curious why you're getting downvoted for your comment. Maybe people didn't like the creative way you put it? For me that made it all the better. Instead of some dry analysis, I like hearing what's going on in someone's head.

Drama aside, for me the problem with that message is that it's just distracting.
> silo themselves in a echo chamber of their own ideas

An immutable mind is a weak mind. If you have to silence your opponent in order to win, you really haven't done research. Both of these are at odds with the concept of an institute of learning.
Yes, when it comes to a lot of luxury European cars, cities typically only have a single dealership, and there isn't much wiggle room. Ended up with one back home 240 miles away. Picked it up my way home for Thanksgiving right off the thruway. Pulled into parents with the new ride :)

These were first computers I was exposed to. As students and later young engineers working with them, we were taught an important principle: "nothing you can do in software can break the hardware". Imagine then my bewilderment when, working with a tape and having some strange-looking "Attention required", I went down to the ceiling only to see the tape still on reels but cut in two pieces.
I don't really get what this is - if I want to find parts for my car, I can just type something like '2012 Honda Accord Wipers'

I already have my car in my 'garage', they've had that functionality for years.
I did the same thing when we bought my wife's 328 wagon 2 years ago. I emailed about 5 dealerships with a PDF of the options + msrp and they all got back to me in a day or two. I sent a followup email to the others to see if they wanted to beat the best price I received and they all said they couldn't.

I also ordered mine because we wanted a specific set of options like adaptive cruise control, upgraded sound system, but no navigation and a very specific color combination that we couldn't find anywhere.

Our other car is a Tesla and while I prefer ordering online and checking out with a credit card, emailing multiple dealers was pretty painless.

EDIT: If you're curious why we didn't want navigation, this video explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/hCDt02UXzkQ Not to mention it's really expensive, hard to input destinations, I generally know where I'm going, and phones work great.
Support groups also deserve freedom of association. Requiring them to prove that the people who constantly derail their groups' activities are harassers puts the burden on them, rather than on the people who are crashing and disrupting their meetings.

FreeNAS is a rewrite compared to before the split. iXSystems got involved and helped move things along at a significantly better pace. They've contributed a lot.

A split caused by Olivier waking up one morning and announcing that freenas is dead because he wants to rewrite 0.8 on Linux because reasons. I switched back across to freebsd right about then as I lost all trust in the project (now NAS4Free).

Currently running FreeNAS for the last 2 years since last machine upgrade.

There was the V20/V30. It was a drop-in replacement for the 8088 that could also execute 8080 (or Z80---it's been awhile since I used one) code (it was also faster at executing 8088 code, which is why a lot of people used it). While the 8088 is descended from the 8080, it's not binary compatible (completely different opcodes) and probably fits your criteria.

It's still obviously a reasonable substitute for (at least some) patients with out of pocket costs above $150 for Epipens.

I do understand that people are concerned about the different usage instructions (for example the school nurse not realizing it needs to be used differently) and that doctors may be hesitant to prescribe it.

The thing I think is really interesting about the $150 generic Adrenaclick is that it puts some sort of ceiling on the regulatory costs and costs imposed by the other players in the health system.

The Mylan CEO did an interview this morning where they hand waved and equivocated and so on, but it's clear enough (based on availability of a $150 substitute) that they are setting the price based on their advantageous position in the market. I don't see any reason not to call them out on any BS where they try to deny that.
You need the dealership to handle the trade-in of your used vehicle. Selling to a private buyer can be (but isn't always) a pain.
Exposure therapy can be effective, but under controlled circumstances as supervised by a professional and prepared for by the patient.

Uncontrolled exposure is more likely to worsen the anxiety than extinguish it.
>> But to run out the clock against the technical and policy headwinds for self-driving cars.

That would take a few decades at the current pace. They are currently burning $2.4 billion/year. Lets say it takes 20 years for self driving cars to take over.

In that case it would take $40.8 billion in losses. All the best finding an investor who can give $40 billion and expect nothing in return for 20 years and have hope of recovering any of that even after 20 years.

That's not what the quote said, nor the context of it, the parent was trying to equate 'offending others' as 'being an asshole'.

The actual quote is "54 percent of students said the climate on campus prevents some people from saying what they believe because they are fearful of offending others."
The TL;DR summary from the abstract:

No significant difference between women and men.

Important detail: They only looked at people 40 or older, so no conclusions should be attempted based on this paper alone about differences between older and younger groups (above/below 40). Looking at their tables at the end of the paper I also didn't see any stratification by age within the sampled group, they only listed the sample size for three (15 years wide) age groups (Table II).

This is a use case, but it's not the use case for universities. Universities employ trigger warnings for subjects that might offend particular groups.
Even the Nexus unlock where you don't need a key but need to boot into fastboot is okay. I don't think many pieces of software will be able to automatically perform the steps required for that, including a confirmation on the phone and one on the computer.
Correct me if I'm wrong (please!) but FreeNAS still can't (easily?) do what Synology's 'Hybrid RAID' (basically sharded RAID across drives) facilitates; growing your (redundant, e.g. 1 or more parity drives) volume by adding more drives, and also growing your volume by replacing drives with larger ones.

I've always thought that was essential, it bemuses me that there aren't many solutions out there that help you do this. I guess everyone must buy have loads of disposable income to buy 8 drives at once.
Thanks for that. Yes, speech control seems really natural for certain tasks, like a painting program especially where you use few and distinct words. The VR painting programs come to mind.

That case study interests me, but it really glazes over stenotype and palantype. I'll email Bill and see if I can get a discussion going. Cheers
The closest to production-ready dynamic graph-style is Apache Zeppelin, which is pretty nice and I use almost daily at work in EMR clusters.

And from time to time I still think how I'd redesign my own thing from scratch yet again.
I'm teaching a journalism class this fall in which I've made David Simon's "Homicide" a required book. It's a terrific book overall, but I chose it because of its examination of the system as a whole. But as you can imagine, a book that involves following the Baltimore homicide department around unavoidably gets pretty grisly, even with Simon's treatment of it (that is, in the way The Wire is quite possibly one of the most boring shows ever about police work, while being also the best show on TV ever). There's lots of details about murders and rapes (the central event involves the rape and murder of a child).

That said, it is a journalism class, and students who actually become journalists should expect to report on such traumas on a fairly regular basis. So I don't feel that concerned about using the book for journalism class. I'll probably warn students not to read the chapter about autopsies while eating. If I were in another liberal arts/humanities departments, I might take pause (but I have no idea what it's like to be an instructor in any other departments, so don't take my opinion as having any insight to other departments or their proclivities)
The charitable way of interpreting that is "The university as an organization will not lend their institutional support for enforcing 'safe spaces'. If you want one, make it and enforce it yourself"
Docker founder here.

> "Secure by default" is a great philosophy to have. I hope Docker continues to push into this direction.

Thank you. We will absolutely keep pushing.

> However, where is image signing?

Docker supports image signing out-of-the-box. It's based on TUF which is the state if the art in secure content distribution. Along the way we open-sourced our underlying TUF implementation so thaf others can reuse it: https://github.com/docker/notary

> Where is pulling images by their hash instead of mutable tags?

That's also available out of the box: "docker pull NAME@DIGEST"

> Where is restricting what images run according to their hashes?

That's not available out of the box, but a popular way to implement it is to funnel images through a trusted private registry, only allow pulls from that registry, and then controlling what you push to it.

Another possibility is to use the new auth plugin system, although I haven't tried.

> Where is Docker not running a daemon as root?

Docker runs unprivileged by default, but only on relatively recent kernels with user namespace support (it drops itself to "fake root" so it can still create containers without actually having uid0).

On older systems (or if you don't trust user namespaces) I agree we could break up some parts of the daemon (for example push/pull) to drop privileges further. That requires serious refactoring which we have been working on gradually for some time.

> How about Docker doing more hardening releases and fewer feature releases?

We follow the linux methodology: every release includes many hardening improvements, as well as whatever features have been deemed stable enough to merge. We don't control what pull requests the community sends, but we work hard to maintain a high quality bar and encourage quality-oriented contributions. The Docker core engineering team invests more time on hardening than features.

> There's a lot of low hanging, security related fruit which haven't been picked. Why not?

I'm sure there are :) Security is a process, we will never be done. The important thing for us is to take it seriously, invest appropriately (Docker core team employs 6 full time security engineers and funds various third-party security efforts), and make sure we are perpetually improving.

On top of that, Docker is known for making powerful technology more accessible to more people. We want to use that "superpower" to make security more usable by non-experts. We think that contributes to making everyone more secure.

> Process isolation is a fantastic. There just really needs to be more, in my opinion.

Docker security is about much, much more than process isolation.

Thanks for the feedback. We hope to see you on the github repo, we value bug reports :)
> Go to university and you should expect "free and open exchange of ideas", go to a trade school if all you want is "credentials for employment".

Sure, theoretically. In the real world, not so much. Want to be a lawyer high up in a corporate firm? Get a research position doing the kind of work PhD's do? Good luck going down that path by going to a trade school.

Heck, look at the example of Susan Finley. After 46 successful years at NASA, they demoted her - because she didn't have a bachelor's degree.

If universities want to be mainly about debate and a free exchange ideas, they should give up their monopolies on the things most people are going there for (monopolies they really shouldn't have in the first place).
You're probably thinking of jsobject¹:

from jsobject import Object
foo = Object()
foo.x = 1
foo.a = {} # foo.a.b will fail without this line
foo.a.b = 2
print(foo) # prints: {'a': {'b': 2}, 'x': 1}

I don't think amazon will start selling car now or in the near future. The subtitle below "amazon vehicles" logo says "see specs, read reviews and ask owners". It looks like it's just a forum kind of thing at this moment. And we know there're huge amount of legal issues people needs to deal with when sell cars as well as financing, leasing etc. If amazon gonna launch this, it's going to be a huge product, huge enough to be another billion dollar company.
Yes in some contexts.

Most people don't know about it though. I think everyone thinks we won that "war" completely. Even talking to someone like Phil Zimmermann, he was wasn't aware about it.

Granted it is more about exporting to "rogue states" and more of a registration requirement. But it is something, companies (especially startups) probably forget to do. And I don't know of anyone personally who got in trouble over it.
We've observed that due to the nature of news headlines, the model can generate good headlines from reading just a few sentences from the beginning of the article.

This illustrates the importance of taking the trouble to understand a domain before trying to model it. I was taught in journalism class that the first paragraph of a newspaper article should summarize the story, the next 3-5 paragraphs summarize again, then the rest of the article fill in the details. Not only do the authors spend time discovering what should have been known from the outset, they reverse cause and effect. The model can generate good headlines due to the nature of newpaper writing, not due to the nature of headlines.
Have you tried using your IRC client to access Slack? I've heard it's supported, but I don't know anyone who uses it.
Probably fragility and security issues in that type of system.
Totally agree. The students can leave. They will get a zero. They will fail the course. They will eventually have to drop out. That's the natural order of things.

But let's not pretend you can have a conversation with people that do not want to have one. The problem is these idiots also want to pass the course they didn't attend and didn't learn anything from or they want the course censored. Either way, by making these demands, they are the ones attacking students who actually put in the work to learn and students that want to actually learn and not get rid of classes or lessons they don't agree with. No matter how you look at it, it ends up in censorship if you begin to entertain the ridiculous censorship demands of students.

If I was the school's president, I would make sure these people who disrupt class and attack other students' freedoms fail for their lack of work and get kicked out for their attacks on education and other students' ability to obtain a proper education.

Have the president say to the student: "You don't want to participate in the discussion? Here's a fucking zero. Now get the fuck out of my class and if it continues, get the fuck out of my university. Most people here are actually here to learn, not disrupt the education of others." That's basically what U of Chicago is saying ahead of time now and what most universities refuse to say because the money is so plentiful right now.
Ask HN: How can content creators use social n/w aggregation 4 personal websites?
Social media landscape is growing continuously and we can see all internet users are someway creating content. New media types like gifs, boomerang, vine, Polaroid Swing are coming. Is there any way content creators can get benefit by content aggregation?
That doesn't work because it's not just what you share with the social networks but what others share about you and how they're able to link those little facts to create a full picture. (Or what the social networks collect on you from other places.)

Facebook had a leak ~3 years ago that showed it: http://www.zdnet.com/article/anger-mounts-after-facebooks-sh... but there have been darker efforts to do this since at least 2006 or so that I've found.
Sorry for content-free comment, but this is really interesting, and I wish it had gotten more discussion. Starred and saved for later.

Watts was a forward thinker of the first degree. Many of his talks are available on YouTube, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. He was very scientifically minded and grounded in reality, unlike a lot of other "spiritual leaders".

Specifically, this one on the future of technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnk73u9YAHw

Keep in mind he was giving these talks in the late 60's. He was light years ahead of his time.
It's dogwhistle politics. It's unlikely that anyone in the thread can claim authoritative knowledge on this topic - but it gets aired constantly in the media, so now everyone feels as if they should have a Strong Opinion, and their opinion lands ever-so-neatly on the side endorsing that view.

Universities themselves are never in quite so simple a position as that. Like any large group of people there are conflicts of interest, ambitious power plays, and grandstanding gestures. U of Chicago happens to sit on an end of the political spectrum that allows it this united front. That doesn't mean its day to day is actually more free or open to questioning than a school like Oberlin that aimed to endorse safe spaces and trigger warnings top-down. Any genuine discussion of freedoms vs securities is most likely lost in the scuffle.
Please lets not dignify this sham of a business be referred to as a "University."
> Right now Uber is the "taxi service" but is building a world class transportation logistics platform

But they are losing money because they are selling their product for less than it costs them.
Most of the times these clubs that pay for speakers are given a stipend to spend on events from the school. When universities bring in people like Ben Shapiro or Milo Yiannopoulos, it is almost always the campus Republican group that pays, in part with the money provided by the school, and in part with money raised by the group itself. Campus Democrats also get money for the exact same purpose.

I would say that the students certainly do have the right to complain and protest as long as it is not violent and not terribly disruptive. Complaining and protesting is PART of the open exchange of ideas. Physically blockading events is not, shouting down speakers while they are speaking is not, and in general throwing an adult-sized tantrum until you get your way is not.
I would agree. (And was responding to the parent comment.) It begs two questions, though:

1. What's "reasonable"?

2. Does the meaning of "reasonable" change? (E.g., a criminal-law class vs. a computer science class) To me, this could be redefined as "topic appropriateness".
