I hear you but you missed my point.

When protesters block roads and burn property you get a big police response, it happened in Ferguson it's happening in Standing Rock.

The difference in news coverage depends on WHY people are blocking streets and burning things.

In Ferguson the viewing/reading/listening public could relate police killing an unarmed black civilian by a nearly all white police force with race relation issues.

In Standing Rock the people viewing/reading/listening to the news from there cannot relate to people demonstrating against a project that has met every legal obligation and answered every legitimate challenge. The folks on the ground don't like it, but the rest of the world doesn't seem to care that they don't like it.

Nobody has been able to explain why we should care. And don't say "gee the police could do some military style intervention on you too!" which I would totally expect if a few hundred of us start burning things and blocking the roads. Explain to the public, like they are 5, why they should prefer to stop this pipeline rather than to build it.
Honestly - He should be fired for this. If Reddit was a real company, he would have been let go already. Being CEO requires that you keep ahold of your emotions and not abuse your power.

This totally calls into question the credibility of the whole site.

I heard this was good. Turns learning into a game.
Facebook, etc terminated those with power for doing things like stalking on an ex-girlfriend. This seems similar. It is an abuse of power, and frankly, we don't know if this is the first time it has happened—it simply might have been the most extreme case
I think if there's reason to believe that votes were miscounted or there was fraud, there should be a recount.

But I can't help but notice that the media seemed to hammer Trump about the possibility of not accepting the results of the election. I strongly suspect if he were the one demanding a recount it would be treated very differently. It's disappointing that our society so obviously switches its standards based on someone's in-group or out-group status.
Plus the judge was nominated by Obama.
Seriously the over reliance on Github is a systemic risk to the industry.
In most companies I have seen it's a one way street. You have to work longer if you don't get your work done. And if you finish early you get more work.
I agree with you. Even setting aside the human rights angle for the sake of argument (and it should NOT be set aside), limitations on the press, of any kind, are a wickedly sharp two-edged sword and can swing back viciously on any would-be wielder.

But I don't think that's actually what we should focus on. The problem isn't that some teenage anarchist can write and post conspiracy theories for whoever wants to believe them; the problem is that, if they are sensational enough, they can travel around the world a million times and entirely outpace any counter-argument or retraction.

This is a moral harm. It harms people who are being exposed to these falsehoods and who (for one reason or another) are not in a position to accurately and skeptically judge their merit.Not to beat a dead horse, but how many Catholics voted for Trump because they thought he had the Pope's endorsement? That isn't right or fair, not for the Pope, not for Catholics who were lied to, and not for the country.

I don't think the solution is a matter of policy; I am staunchly against the formation of any sort of "ministry of truth." But I do think this is a serious societal issue that ought to be addressed at a technical, educational and sociological level. We technologists created the circumstances where this has become a problem: I believe it is incumbent upon us to think about how we can solve it in a way that respects free speech.

People should be able to say whatever they want, but we need to make sure that we haven't created an environment where objective truth can't even exist. It does, and it needs to be accessible.
Let's set up some predictions: more or less than the OPM hack?
That's fair and I respect your point of view. But I have a different perspective. I'll grant that emotions are still heightened from the election, but if anything it has brought some long-term underlying issues to the surface. I'm no longer comfortable working for/with people that take positions that disenfranchise and discriminate against other people.
That is the thing. I have and will continue to be wrong on things. This is why I genuinely believed that maybe Clinton had done something. There are absolutely zero facts there, though.

Let me be clear. I do not get upset with people that voted independent. Or didn't vote. I'm as disenfranchised as you can get. The people that bother me are the ones that somehow genuinely believe trump. Or push anti-evolution education. Or refuse to acknowledge racism/bigotry.
This is shit. The lower limit for salary hasn't changed for years, and has not tracked inflation.
As a post-doc this would have probably really bummed me out if it wasn't for the fact my union had already signed a new contract with the university for new pay raises based on the new Obama administration rules. Yay union.
Claiming that EnoughTrumpSpam is making headway just supports that the Reddit of today is a cesspool. I greatly miss the Reddit of 5 to 10 years ago. I'd love to see a new community site spring that figures out how to maintain quality and grow. And no, small subreddits aren't the answer. Seriously, Reddit about oh 8 years ago was just fantastic.

HN for the most part does a good job maintaining comment quality, but it obviously has some advantages that a general community site would not have.

Bitcoin Miner Jiang Zhuo: Why We Must Oppose Core's Segwit Soft Fork
People covered by these exemptions are often not paid overtime at all, as the Fair Labor Standards Act does not require any overtime pay if you fall under the exemptions.

These exemptions are meant to cover people in certain job roles where output is measured by work delivered, not hours spent, and where the person has independent responsibility for controlling their working hours to certain extent and were overtime as such is in theory voluntary.

The threshold in question exists to make it harder to "define away" overtime pay obligations by pretending a role is more independent than it is, by connecting it to pay levels that makes it more likely that the role does in fact meet the intent of the law. The old/current levels makes a total mockery of that

It's worth noting that this change also follows a change in 2004 that went the other way - redefining large groups of previously non-exempt lower level supervisors etc. as exempt, drastically cutting their rights to overtime pay.
Reddit CEO admits to secretly editing user comments
You white nationalists are hilarious.
Any tips for dealing with these types? They can usually be quite persuasive and pushy - stress-inducing.
I think I agree that most fake news had no effect. But I still view fake news as The Onion. Mostly a comedic effect. However, having seen that some folks actually trust brietbart (spelling?), I am left speechless.

It is defended as being "like The Onion," yet also compared to serious news sources. Biased maybe, but also serious and holding themselves to facts.

And I get the difficulty. Being wrong is not necessarily lying. However, lying should be discouraged. Heavily.
That wasn't blaming him - it was saying it will be interesting to see how he reacts to this. He's got time to whine about a theater, surely this will also get an angry tweet.
I hear what you're saying, don't get me wrong. It sounds like you're in a better position to comment on the situation in Colombia if nothing else. But we're both playing some simplistic hands here. As soon as other players turn a local conflict into a proxy war -- as the Russians and US are in danger of doing in Syria and as the US drug warriors have done in Columbia -- life gets more complicated. Still, I'd argue that you're better off in such situations if you haven't delegated all of the responsibility for protecting yourself and your family and property to a government who may or may not have other interests in mind.

Even the American Revolution was basically a proxy war between England and the continental powers, for that matter. But when the dust settled, you didn't see the French moving in to claim their just rewards. As the apocryphal quote credited to Yamamoto goes, "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." We were then, as we are now, more trouble to mess with than we're worth.

That's the kind of relationship that many American citizens like to maintain with their own government. I don't see that as a bad thing.
Having had talked to actual russian nationalists and fascists, it's complete bull. Their views are based on search for sincerety and almost religious revelations, it's a completely opposite mindset of internet trolls.
On the other hand, the official name was 'Mac OS X' until 2012.
These are all offered in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI formats. The MOBI should work fine on your older Kindle, and EPUB works great on third-party ebook apps. PDF should look good on a modern tablet.
If it's really a capacitor what you said does not apply. You can charge a capacitor at any voltage as long as you cut the current off when it acquires the desired charge / terminal voltage.
In my opinion, the "title change" is precisely the opposite of moderating YC-related stories less. In this case it [substantially] obfuscates the meaning of what transpired.

As a die-hard reader, and very rare commenter/submitter, it's frankly very difficult to see this as anything other than obfuscation -- especially given the context & the possible titles for a situation like this.

IMO the original title is about as spot-on as I could have come up with, and the current title is about as ambiguous as I could have come up with; how about at least changing the pronouns to have some context (ie "I" => "Reddit CEO").
He's not getting blamed. The above commenter is simply pointing out that this will serve as a good test as to whether he will come out in favour of working class people or business.
Good question, other journalists could vote on each other? That would present challenges if WaPo decides they want to collude to torpedo the top journalist at NYT.

Perhaps a system where readers could 'endorse' or 'reject' a story and if a rejection threshold is reached it is evaluated double blind by a randomly selected pool of journalists with an accreditation score higher than some threshold (perhaps adjustable by the accreditation score of the challenged journalist as well). If a simple majority of the reviewers uphold the rejection it gets noted, and perhaps the accreditation score gets reduced of the journalist reporting poorly.

I'd have to run some simulations on that to see how whether that would be workable or result in overworked 'reviewing' journalists just rejecting or accepting everything enmasse.
He already had expressed interest in changing the new Obama ruling. FYI, that was mentioned in TFA

Oh you guys.

No, we're not gonna "make every title a puzzle"—that would be "the opposite extreme".

This has no effect on YC pro or con, it's too inconsequential. Also, we don't moderate HN to be YC-serving. See my comment upthread. Doing so would not be YC-serving anyhow, just idiotic.

Domain names are part of the title on HN, so the title does say Reddit.

I'm glad you know who "spez" is now! See, that wasn't so hard!

Experiment to Scale Personal Knowledge
The FCC worked because the devices they regulate are mostly local in range, but this stuff is global. Even if you do get some regulation in the First World internet devices, there are still going to be millions of legacy devices, millions more unregulated in the Third World, plus how many illegal ones and even more with latent flaws. All of them are going to be targets in the next DDOS botnet wakeup. So what do you do there, put up national firewalls? How?

There's around 9,000 CVE's this year so far. Should devices be checked against all of them? How about next week, does the vendor have to go back and check your fridge? Do they have to patch it? For how long? Who pays for all that? A $20 webcam suddenly needs $500/year just in ongoing maintenance and updates.

I don't have any answers, only questions.
It does? I am hoping I'll be able to use it as a public, distributed ledger, and so, too, are many major financial institutions — if they can be said to "hope".

The government and it's contractors...with it's long RFC procurement process and associated bullshit will always be behind the security curve and will always be susceptible to these types of attacks as long as they favor a culture of old veteran people over competence.
That's two totally different concepts.

It's one thing to "complaining about",,, generalizations. It's entirely different for a CEO to abuse his power and censor those he disagrees with on a social media site.

He should be let go for this! He is literally putting words in peoples mouths!!

It's easy to justify tyranny. All you have to do is find something important but imperfect, call it a "failure", and ignore all the ways your alternative can fail in much worse ways.

Even better is to leave your alternative unstated, so nobody can counter it.

People are also into 'healing-crystals' and 'prayer' should we do something about those as well?
It's included so the there's a nice editor in Terminal by default (yes, I'm just kidding, I know vim is there). It's so old because it's the last version of Emacs released under version 2 of the gpl (and Apple hates version 3). It's the same reason the default Bash is so old.
I would personally greatly prefer massive directed spending at hard science problems than quantitative easing dropping cheap money on Wall Street. Let the money trickle down from spending on science equipment and scientist and engineering salaries.
But that indicates that you are exempt because you are in a type of role where you truly do have genuine control of your own working hours.

The rule in question protects those people where their control is often purely fictional by setting a lower bar.
any particular book?
Here's an excerpt from the article:

In an October 2014 Wired story, Adrian Chen documented the work of front line moderators operating in modern-day sweatshops. In Manila, Chen witnessed a secret "army of workers employed to soak up the worst of humanity in order to protect the rest of us." Media coverage and researchers have compared their work to garbage collection, but the work they perform is critical to preserving any sense of decency and safety online, and literally saves lives — often those of children. For front-line moderators, these jobs can be crippling. Beth Medina, who runs a program called SHIFT (Supporting Heroes in Mental Health Foundational Training), which has provided resilience training to Internet Crimes Against Children teams since 2009, details the severe health costs of sustained exposure to toxic images: isolation, relational difficulties, burnout, depression, substance abuse, and anxiety. "There are inherent difficulties doing this kind of work," Chen said, "because the material is so traumatic."

The whole thing is worth a read, in a couple of sessions if necessary.
Mario and cure53 team are a bunch of great people. I learned a lot by reading a lot of reports from Cure53 published on their website[1]. Their repos on Github are a timesaver when looking for XSS. Filedescriptor[2] is a part of cure53 and has some amazing reports on hackerone.

It's where the tort giving rise to the suit happened, a question which is complicated and lawyer-worthy if this ever comes up. Most MSAs will have both parties stipulate to the jurisdiction of a particular county's courts; generally, the party supplying the MSA picks their local court system because it's cheaper to access, known to them, and has the home-field advantage.
Awesome to see heavily used (and often embedded) OSS software getting a sponsored audit like this. I wonder the same could happen for sqlite and others.

Given the number of vulnerabilities that "state sponsored" folks are likely to know about, this seems like a very useful defense and a way to increase confidence in our building blocks.
Does it run the same OS, software, etc as before, though?
Launching Salespeer
I think this entire thread is diverging from the article, but the article does quote Trump:

Trump has vowed to roll back Obama regulations that he
says are hurting the economy. He expressed support for
changing the overtime rule during the presidential
campaign.

“Rolling back the overtime regulation is just one
example of the many regulations that need to be
addressed to do that,” Trump told Circa in August. “We
would love to see a delay or a carve-out of sorts for
our small business owners."

A simple guide to using Traits in Laravel 5
'"At this stage of the investigation, there is no evidence to suggest misuse of the information that was compromised," the Navy said.'

I somehow don't think that whoever targeted a 'a laptop used by a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services employee working on a U.S. Navy contract' was doing so to grab personal data for smash-n-grab identity theft or other things that'd rapidly leave 'evidence to suggest misuse of the information'...
The problem with the comparison is that the left also has blood on its hands. The self righteous zealotry of the progressive movement is as comparable to China's cultural revolution, as Trump's populist appeal to Whites is to fascism. That is, there are real parallels and real concerns on both sides. We can't just act like the only danger comes from the political right.

> Six years later, it less and less "Just Works", started turning into spyware and nagware, and doesn't need much less maintenance than Linux desktop — at least for my work, which is system administration and software development, probably it is better for the mythical End User person. Work needed to get software I need running is not less obscure than work I'd need to do on Linux or othe Unix-like system.... GUI that used to be nice and unintrusive, got annoying. Either I came full circle in the last 15 years of my computer usage, or the OSX experience degraded in last 5 years.

So... it's not just me. Somewhere between Snow Leopard and Mavericks I started finding building various things from source that never were a problem became an exercise in figuring out what library had been removed or moved or what Apple had done with lib/header paths or something else.

What this really ignores is all the inland cities that use the same water source, one down-stream from the next, from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. I toured one of those sewage treatment plants in 1993 (1). It remains one of the most beautiful visions of my life: clear water flowing over algea-covered wooden beams, glowing in the natural sunlight, no odor whatsoever.

You can't make this stuff up. Civil engineers are amazing.

Edit: also, as per my other comment, urine, in the voided stream, is not sterile, and even if it were, certainly contains all the building blocks for bacterial growth.
