Safe spaces as I've seen them implemented are exclusionary and discriminatory.

A women-only safe space is sexist, as the implied "safety" of not allowing men implies that men are inherently unsafe. A POC-only safe space is racist, as the implied "safety" of not allowing whites implies that whites are inherently unsafe.

If anyone were to even suggest the opposite implementation, a men-only or whites-only "safe space", then the discriminatory nature is immediately apparent and everyone rallies to shut down the idea before it ever reaches implementation.

Edit: Oops, I've invaded HN's safe space. Disagree with me all you like, but as we learned earlier this week it's not the votes that matter. Tell me why I'm wrong, I'm genuinely interested in hearing your opinion.
>that doesn't show dishonesty.

Not disclosing the 'veto' in the article is pretty dishonest. don't you think?

Running 20 front page anti-trump articles everyday and no criticism of Clinton doesn't show any dishonesty?
How am I supposed to show inclusiveness to someone that wants to trample on my civil rights and endanger the lives of my family?

"I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump"

While probably not a good idea (especially with Trump supporters having a bit of a chip on their shoulder), the e-mail did make it clear what behavior he's not going to accept at his work place.
For work (writer) I go through dozens of feeds every day.

About 90% of what I see is irrelevant, but I need to see it to filter out the relevant data. I'd pay a decent amount for a service that can tailor itself and deliver relevant results without much manual intervention. InoReader and some other RSS readers have decent filtering, but it's all manual.

So this excited me, but without a way to import my existing feeds it's largely useless to me.
OK, what do anti-gay-marriage people have to gain politically, if they got their way?
Thank you, good suggestion!
> People have a right to their own politics without it affecting their career.

Do they? Why?

What if your politics is supporting the KKK? This isn't a hyperbolic example: when I was very young, my state almost elected a former KKK grand wizard to the governorship. Are people that the KKK wants to get rid of supposed to be supportive of the careers of KKK members?

The only way I can see this working is if we treat "politics" as a sort of abstract break-room argument that we can all ignore at the end of the day. And this email is saying that, while that's usually true enough to get by, this particular presidency is an exception. (I don't expect it would have been sent for any other candidate in the primary of any party.) If it weren't possible for politics to have such exceptions time-to-time, it wouldn't be a pursuit that mattered.
If that's your belief, you can talk to that person or dismiss them.

Talking to them opens an opportunity for mutual understanding, while dismissing them changes nothing.

EDIT: I don't know why you're being downvoted. You've proposed a great example.
Like Sublime.
Makes sense, due to a self-reinforcing dynamic: early comments that are good enough to gather upvotes will stay near the top of the page, gathering more upvotes.

I suspect HN is subject to the same "first comment effect," often to the detriment of later comments that might be more deserving of the top spot.

Does anyone here have ideas for fixing this?
The email just shows what a sheep he is for regurgitating everything the media has said about Trump without actually taking a second to think about it.

Trump's wife is an immigrant! Can there be any better proof that Trump doesn't hate immigrants? The xenophobia argument was bullshit made up by the media to manipulate people to vote for Hillary and this CEO bought it hook line and sinker.

Trump media also told a lot of bullshit - I'm not trying to target Hillary supporters specifically. I would say the same thing if a CEO was trying to tell his employees that Hillary should be 'locked up' if Trump had lost - To me it would be equally stupid media-vomit.

It's just that when I see how much of a 'follower' (of the media) these supposed 'leaders' can be, it's depressing.

Has there been any empirical research done on this? Whenever this topic comes up on the Internet it is very charged and full of assumptions. I suspect that the creation/utilization of safe spaces and trigger warnings is actually rather low in a country with almost 14 million students in higher education.
The statement is well put. It is differentiating between the behavior and the person.

Doing some quick reading comprehension stuff:

- The demeaning, insulting and ridiculing BEHAVIOR has no place.

- I reject the POLITICS of Donald Trump

- shield our community from this MOVEMENT (i.e. the aforementioned politics)

He clearly laid out values of Mr. Trump then proceeds to explain how espousing them would result in a bad fit for his company.

More specifically, here's what cannot be derived from his email:

- "If you VOTED for Trump you're fired." As hard as it is for me to understand, I do realize one may have other reasons why he/she voted for Trump.

- "If you support Trump, you're fired." This one is murky but one may support some of his actions while rejecting others.

This is probably a stupid question but what is the minimal formal language that has an accepting path as a statement in the language?
With Corbyn, I don't think anyone needs a "playbook" to be worried about him siding with anti-Semitic and terrorist-supporting figures, and for things like working for Press TV (Iranian government).

That's not anti-establishment, it's just aligning with a different kind of establishment (the ayatollas).

> Do people really want recommendations?

I do. Or rather, I want a service that will filter out the crap I don't want to see and bubble the relevant content to the top. In my job I have to keep an eye on loads of feeds, and it's almost always worthless dross, but I can't tell that it's worthless until I've seen it.
> No. There are young people in the United States who are citizens of this country by right. Children born in the US are citizens. They are not illegal immigrants.

Yes, of course, but those are definitely not the people I was talking about. If someone is referring to legal citizens as illegal immigrants, that's wrong and they should stop.

As for the rest of your comment, I will politely decline to respond. I wasn't trying to start a discussion over what would be a fair or sensible immigration policy - that could never fit inside a HN thread. I was only objecting to idlewords's assertion that it is inherently wrong to describe someone as "illegal".
How do you architect your re-frame apps? How do you decide where dispatch/subscribe gets called? I ask, because having worked on a couple of re-frame (and indeed raw reagent) projects, I often see issues of layering and responsibility that MVC traditionally solved.

For example, I regularly see subscriptions deeply nested in the component hierarchy, instead of more 'pure' components that just accept data at the top level. This leads to controller-style logic spread all over the app. I see the same issue with events - dispatch being called from inside view components, and despite the event abstraction, what you basically end up with is mutable state spread all over the app.

Happy to admit these apps probably aren't shining examples of react/reagent/re-frame architecture, but I'd be interested to see some canonical architecture guidance.

Ask HN: Are there any Code Camps based on C and Python?
I'm looking for immersive learning - "Code Camp" - based on C, Python, instead of the normal JS plus <insert framework/web stack here> type curriculum. Learning on my own, I make good progress for a few days, then have to go back to work, and forget most of what I learned.

I would like to find the 3 to 6 week, immersive, on site atmosphere like at many Code Camps, but for C, Python, maybe Django, and a database maybe Postgres. (Not Mongo or other "noSQL".)

Location doesn't matter, would relocate for the duration within US, (or London as a remote possibility).

Thanks!
> Why don't you ask me what I think about those issues?

You didn't vote for your views, you voted for Trump. You had to believe that whatever would result from a Trump election was at least balanced by your desire to show the left the consequences of their free speech, yes?
It's a huge complaint when it confronts people who didn't learn how the system works in civics class, I guess, but it's been the way that presidential voting has worked since before we were all born, so the outcry is sort of annoying at best.

Also, as the only groups legally able to propose a change to this system are right now benefiting from it, I wouldn't hold my breath.
It makes me very glad that we are starting to question globalization. Whether or not it is a bad thing --- and it may very well be a good thing --- is still an open question in my mind. But for decades now it seems that globalization has been very unjustly considered good by default.
It's almost as if voting was a poor quality selection strategy. /s
Because whomever owns the server is now a dictator who can decide the result of the election. When it comes to democracy, "tampering from the inside" is your primary threat model.

Take it for someone who lived in a country where we had 70 years of elections with the same party winning each and every one. Tampering from the inside, when possible and hard to detect, becomes ubiquitous. We only started moving towards semi-fair elections when the election authorities begun to include representatives of all major parties. But in the server example, you would need very complex procedures to replicate that, and make sure there is not a single administrator that can tamper invisibly with the server. It is actually easier to build a tamper evident distributed system than a tamper evident single-node server.

Coming in to say the same thing. In my case it was Avast! which says its name through the speakers every 30 seconds while you're using the computer for some reason. I think it also tries to install toolbars in the browser, which is not really the role of antivirus software.

With Microsoft in the OEM hardware business, hopefully the end of this era is coming. Sure, Microsoft's own pushes towards Edge and Office 365 are annoying... but easily disabled without any scary warnings. Maybe Edge is better for people than Chrome, I dunno, I like Chrome and haven't bothered to try Edge.
FWIW, the 360 videos aren't working on Debian using Firefox-ESR (which is 45.4.0). :( I'm getting the error "Your browser doesn't support 360 videos."

This is kind of weird logic to me. I see the letter as a good thing.

He thinks the letter is bad because Grubhub's market cap dropped $120M? To me this CEO is commendable. He stands for protecting people from a dangerous and inept man, despite the monetary (and probably social capital) costs. If dumbass VCs don't see a threat in Trump's behavior and want to shun this guy, he's ok with that.

The author of this article is saying "Don't say bad things about the fascists, you'll lose money". I strongly disagree. Do everything you can to keep people, at-risk communities, and the planet safe during this presidency.

I think it's written as laws. We are not actually discussing them so much as ideals. Look at the ACA: I don't even remember a discussion about its merits or demerits. People assume a position and shout over their opponent.

Trump truly played a great song with the media. You have to respect his ability to avoid any policy discussion, preferring to shout fantasies. Clinton wasn't much better, but I don't believe it was an intentional ploy to avoid difficult discussions.

That says nothing about FB erring on the side of conservativism.
There are a number of things going on here. You have to break the numbers down to get a fuller picture.

First is that there has been population growth, and a continuing shift in the age demographics of the country. The absolute number of workers is now about 6% higher than before the recession, but there are also a larger number of retirees and other non-workers. In particular the percentage of people in prime “working age” range (25–54) is 5% lower than 10 years ago. The numbers of unemployed, underemployed, and discouraged workers are all way down since the recession.

Many people decide to retire (either voluntarily or after being laid off) during a recession, with no plan to return to work. So you always get a bit of a “cliff” effect, where people who might have retired over the following several years all get bundled into one group, masking the “natural” shape of the data in absence of the recession.

Many others decide to go to school in the years following a recession. A larger proportion of those in the 16–24 age range are students than before the recession.

The numbers of unemployed and discouraged workers are both down nearly to their pre-recession levels.

http://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/volume-4/people-who-are-not-in-t...

The 2014 percentage of people claiming to be not working because disabled/ill is up 1% compared to before recession. The percentage of retirees is up 1.5%. The percentage of students is up almost 1.5%. The percentage not working for “other reasons” is only up 0.3%.
I think that's exactly what they were supposed to be.

As for "taking over someone else's area," to me that's just politics. There are ebbs and flows of power and control. Trump's victory is going to legitimize a lot of criticisms and possibly over-correct, though hopefully we will be in a position to have a reasonable understanding of what a "safe space" should be within the next decade.

Agreed, and sorry, didn't mean to imply they were similar arguments at all.
The idea of a unified "ruling class" is laughable. The current president is constantly at odds with the political party that controls the Senate and the House of Representatives.

I also disagree with the notion that most congressmen are out of touch with their voters. Each individual congressman is pursuing the agenda he or she was voted into office by his or her constituents. An example: some constituents want to repeal Obamacare while those in other districts want to preserve it. Each set is affected differently so it is reasonable for different districts to have different opinions.

Deadlock is a feature of this Republic; the founders considered it to be superior to a tyranny of the majority over minority interests.

I am guessing that HN will have a lower percentage than reddit. New comments get a bit of time at the top and have a chance to gain votes if they are worthy.
The HN algorithm changed very recently, which was one of the reasons I had the idea to take a closer look at the Reddit data. HN, within the past few months, will highlight new comments within the first 2 slots even on busy threads.

I would perform the same analysis on HN data to confirm if I could. (HN does not expose comment scores)
Some states in US allow you to take a photo of your ballot. This means they can already do the things you mention. But they don't, because it is illegal. It will continue to remain illegal.

Regarding your assumption: I have a family member who's a child psychologist specializing in abuse cases, and according to her the vast majority of those who consume CP have abused children. Hard numbers are hard to come by because of the illicit nature of pedophilia, but studies involving anonymous surveys (in which the individual's name is withheld and their answers can't be used against them by law enforcement) supports that.
This is insanely optimistic but it's all we got.
Everybody always feels that their side is the underprivileged one while the other is the echo chamber. Everybody feels that their side is the one being silenced and that the mods are against them and supporting the other side. So statements like that don't add any information, just rhetorical energy, which we could use less of.

HN is not a place for political battle. People who use it primarily that way are violating the spirit of the site. We don't say politics are off topic completely, but pure politics goes against what the site stands for, which is intellectual curiosity. Ideological battle and intellectual curiosity have next to nothing in common, or maybe just flat-out nothing.

When I said you've been violating the spirit of this site, it's because of the second paragraph above.

The spirit of intellectual curiosity creates a light and appealing space that attracts high-quality participants. It's not surprising that political battlers would see that space as optimal territory and try to move in [1]. But the clear result of doing this is trashing the space, just as any invading army will trash the space it invades. It's our duty to prevent that from happening, regardless of which army.

1. Of course some of these political battlers and high-quality participants are the same people, in different contexts. That's why we don't ban people for posting occasional political comments, but do ban them if they only use the site this way.
> it was able to eliminate awful practices like child labor.

I dont see how the free market eliminated child labor. I see government regulation as eliminating child labor.

I agree with you on the principle that putting more dollars in poor economies is a good thing. But I cannot reconcile that with the fact that those economies are attractive to businesses primarily for the purpose of circumventing rules and established practices that help us (healthcare and environment, for example).

I was watching videos on youtube about the Bangladesh shipbreaking industry. All these western corporations used the ships to make money, then circumvent all environmental regulation by disposing / selling them to Bangladesh for scrap where the toxins go into the sea, workers paid $2/day have no safety gear for dealing with chemical/fall/crushing/burning hazards, and the handful who own the companies reap tremendous profits selling the scrap steel. Everyone wins...except for the poor, who risked/reduced their lives for the awesome consolation of a few bucks (not even considering any marine life that once lived nearby).

Yes, although one wonders what the impact might be on ecosystems with less energy coming in (even if we limited the sunshields to underproductive polar regions).
Land utilization is the issue. The largest solar farms in the US requires an order of magnitude more land to produce the same amount of power as a relatively average nuclear plant.

The largest solar farm in the US, the Topaz Solar Farm in California, covers 25sq/km has a peak generation capacity of 550MW. The source uses the median of the 59 nuclear plants in the US to arrive at its 3.36sq/km (1.3sq/mile) per 1,000MW figure but the largest nuclear plant ever built, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Japan, produces ~8MW on just 4.2sq/km of land which makes it twice as efficient in terms of land use as the median US plant.

That places solar at 13.75 sq/km per 1,000MW compared to nuclear's 0.525sq/km using the best case scenario for the density of existing sources. That doesn't even account for the variable output of the solar plant versus the consistency of nuclear generation. Solar is ultimately far too land hungry to ever serve as the world's primary source of electrity.
