One of the reasons that the South broke away from the union was that in the new states being formed out of unincorporated territory, immigrants from the North were outnumbering those from the South, and subsequently rejecting slavery.

The South discovered that no one outside the South was fine with slavery, and those people were willing to take up arms to keep it contained there.

It strikes me as inherently unproductive, on a societal level, to make vengeance a policy, as it so often results in a positive feedback loop of grievances. The grievances of the punished are not recognized as legitimate, so they're frequently displaced onto others, creating more desire for punishment and eventually more victims.

Admittedly, you're expressing a common sentiment. I've never been the victim of a violent crime, so I can't speak to the experience of feeling a need for satisfactory vengeance. But it seems to me to be one of the worse aspects of human nature, which we should seek to overcome through enacting laws seeking restorative justice, or at least non-vengeance based punishment systems. Unfortunately, the letter of the law has little to say about the underlying human desire for vengeance when wronged, and instead seems to often start from the axiom that satisfaction must be given. I wish this were more frequently and publicly questioned.

Since Facebook's entire point is that feeds are receiver-specific, "think of the children"-style arguments based on "...with kids on it" may provide a good reason for establishing controls that prevent certain content from going into the feeds of children, but has a much harder time justify preventing the content from being shared on Facebook at all.

Really, the engineer is the fall guy. Yes he's at fault but what kind of QA system does a billion dollar car company have that one person carried on a sham for decades. No way he was alone! Top management needs to be grilled on what really happened. At the very least the VP of the division that manged the emission controls for the company needs to be charged with some felony.

I bet that If he would have said something early on I bet he would have been called a hero. Now he's a felon.

This is a real learning moment for us techies. If you see something illegal, report it to the proper authorities and run don't walk out of the company. Companies will find a scapegoat to blame. "Hey you seem like a good choice as any," be ready for it.
The penultimate paragraph here must have been difficult to write.
The CEO of Volkswagen international, the President of the US division and the heads of R&D for Audi and Porsche were fired/resigned almost immediately. Some of them were reported as engineers, because some of them were engineers. Engineer and executive are not mutually exclusive titles.

5. You refrain from further transactions with that card, since your grace period is gone and new purchases will immediately accrue interest.

Yep, it's not a public utility, it's not governed by a neutral third party, it's not open, transparent or free. What did you expect? It's a surveillance and marketing platform that you subjected yourselves to out of convenience, operated for its own benefit and indirectly to the benefit of its customers, certainly not its users.

I've never really understood social media in this form, nor understood its takeover as primary communication channel and I'm not going to go full RMS or expect anyone else to have the same values as myself, but if people do share those values, and do want better than facetwitsnapagramblr (without any judgement on if they should) then they should have participated in building and using something better instead of deluding themselves.

Your exception seems to hing on the word designer. I'd describe the individual responsible placing the backdoor as the designer. So if you place a modified version of /usr/sbin/sshd, then you've designed the backdoor for that system. I see no redefinition.

HN has mentioned this several times in the past. I'm now looking at the prior comments about this.
> I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here, but if you don't think GGP's almost explicit inference that if those men had been in the "racist" (read: "South Eastern") parts of the US we wouldn't have had their contributions to society isn't a form of dog whistle than we're not going to have a constructive conversation here.

I don't think that was what was being said at all, if I did then I would agree with you. I think "tech luminaries" were used as examples of people that would be known here, and that have fairly liberal views on race that could have been different with a different environment when young.

That the South has in the recent past (relatively, as in people are alive today that experienced it) had policies that contributed to racism and occurrences of extreme racism is not in question. That makes it fair game to illustrate a point.

That point was to explain to some degree why Americans have "thin skin" regarding some race issues. As I understand it, the point was to point out that people have seen fairly distinct differences in how different parts of the country have treated people based on race, within their lifetime.

None of that says anything about the South as it is now. It does say some factual things about the South as it was. By conflating this with some negative assessment of the South as it currently is, I think you're accidentally presenting a straw man argument.

To put this another way, I will make a definitive statement. The South had racist policies. Unless you find reason to argue against that statement, I'm not sure what your problem is with the original comment, since I think for the purpose of what you're upset about, they reduce to the same thing.

Yes, it does 95% of what git does, and very well.

The problem, that I don't think anybody even expected, is that there are strong network effects on the selection of your CVS. That gives the tool that can handle more use cases a big advantage, and bigger still if those features are needed on the projects with more developers.
My wife and I stopped using credit cards for most things because we're fed up with the whole system. We use cash for groceries and such, the bank pays all of the bills automatically, and we use debit cards for retailers that we trust online (mostly amazon). Credit card use is fairly rare in my house these days.
American criminal trials are so costly in terms of money and time that the process itself is a form of punishment. Sure, you could go to trial and find yourself not guilty, but then the prosecution files an appeal and you have to keep paying a lawyer. If there's a reasonable chance of you being found guilty, the prosecutor will be happy to strike a reasonable deal with you, so you can get it over with and carry on with your life (and your money). I think something like 90% of cases are resolved through plea bargaining.

All open source projects have some kind of "central control" in the sense that they can accept or reject pull requests and define what the official version is.

But you can fork them, so it should be okay, right?
I've come to the conclusion reading the comments here on this and on other stories concerning housing in cities with a large number of tech workers that a lot of people in tech do not realize that many people picked the cities they live in and their neighborhoods within those cities because they specifically wanted to live in that city and in that neighborhood.

It seems that a large fraction (most?) of the tech people picked their cities largely because that is where their job is.

People who oppose major changes to the character of their neighborhoods and cities aren't all just worried about the resale value of their house. They often are more motivated by a desire to preserve those features of the area that attracted them in the first place.

Also, I think a lot of tech people forget that there are other sectors that also provide a lot of jobs and bring a lot of money to the local economy. For instance, tourism and hospitality provide a very large number of jobs in San Francisco, and bring in a lot of outside money.

Change the look and feel of San Francisco too much and you could reduce the appeal to tourists. You risk changing it from people thinking of it as going to San Francisco and while there visiting attraction X, Y, and Z to people thinking of it as going to see X, Y, and Z which happen to be in San Francisco. A city will do a lot better with tourism when the city itself is thought of as a major attraction.

> We have greater genetic difference between races than ANY example of subspecies in existence.

You went too far with that comment. I think I know what you're trying to say: that if intrahuman genetic divergence and superficial morphology differences were observed in any other organism it would be classified as subspecies, but as a matter of fact there remain many examples of strongly genetically divergent populations in nature that have not been elevated from subspecies to species, and some which are unlikely to be due to known introgression etc.

EDIT: yes I know that introgression doesn't contradict species status for many species definitions, but taxonomy literature is determined by practices local to the community studying the taxon in question and for many taxa introgression is still certainly an argument against classifying as species.

Yes - it's legal to discriminate by sex. If you go out looking for apartments in a major city, you will see many "women-only" options, probably for some of the reasons you listed. However, I don't think the arguments for sexual prejudice apply to racial prejudice.

It contains the complete 16-page plea agreement in it. I think that's pretty satisfactory.

In summation, the defendant is looking a 5 years prison and $250,000 in fines, as the defendants representation agrees the charges rate at least that much, plus possible restitution to any identified victims, but the court may agree that if he testifies fully and willingly it will be reduced. So yes, it looks like there's a wider-ranged investigation in progress.
I just have a hard time seeing how "going international" is going to be easier. Suddenly you have to deal with a completely foreign tax system and people who are well versed in international tax laws in your own jurisdiction. A lot of people can't start companies abroad without considering controlled foreign company rules, double taxation agreements, permanent establishment etc.
Ford did $7.373 billion in net income on $149.5 billion in revenue 2015. If the $30 million number purchase price being thrown around is correct, that's ~ 0.4%. Not at all a terrible investment to make for a company of Ford's size.

How is it adding itself back to the list after being removed, then?

(Not disbelieving you at all, I just haven't understood this part.)
Did you just pull a "think of the children"?

Facebook is a publishing and communications platform and if I can't use it to discuss politics or history with my list of acquaintances, then it's useless to me.

Also, in case you have children, it would be best if they didn't have FB accounts with strangers in their list. Just saying, historical photos is probably your last problem.
While coupling is convenient, there is a problem when you are not the only consumer of your code. If you have an open source project that is to be deployable by anyone, you can't put Kubernetes files there (there's not really a way to write a generic Kubernetes manifest -- in addition to volumes and secrets, things like labels are environment-specific). This is also true for other things like .drone.yml for Drone.

So you have to maintain a private "release fork" that you periodically rebase into. This becomes a workflow bottleneck, and the VCS history will not look good, either. Even worse if you have multiple branches you deploy from.
If you put everything on a good cash-back card, and you pay off your balance every month, it can really add up. Let's say you run $30k a year through your card and have something like the 2% cash back Citi DoubleCash Mastercard. That's $600 a year you're foregoing by not caring about cash back. Just a thought.
