>these two women are "as fat as whales" and furthermore that they deserve to be derided based on physical appearance because of their expressed political opinions.

Comedic body shapes paired with comedic political views and philosophies.

What's wrong with it? They tried cheap virtue signaling and lost the bet. Boo hoo my sympathies.

To deride the visual and linguistic imagination of cognitive entities as "hate speech" is stupid.

"Oh no cognitive entities can generate from a set of infinite propositions and not those that fit within my limited range of experience and thinking ability"
"Do you want ants? Cause this is how you get ants." is really appropriate here.

/r/the_donald is one of the few major subreddits that isn't anti-Trump (for example, see side of /r/jokes). When you confine half of your politically active user base to one sub, it's bound to become a monster. Calling it "problematic" and inventing a "hate speech" "code" doesn't somehow make it any less legitimate than any other Reddit community.
Arrant falsehood does tend to gravel people, I suppose.

I'm not sure what anyone expects to gain by doubling down on the goodthink echo chamber that's just lost them an election. Emotional comfort, perhaps? I'm not without sympathy for the need - but that's a private matter. Governance in the US is public, and refusing to engage in the process merely cedes the field. Demonizing one's political opponents not only cedes the field but energizes them with just resentment, and I should think the events of this past month should suffice anyone as a lesson in why that might not be the best of all available tactics - but perhaps I extend more credit than due.
Thanks, fixed. (Although "re-creation" looked so right. Maybe I will use "reproduction").
You are welcome to make use of your free speech rights without forcing other people to promote your speech. So no technically you don't.
Since when was the dude who can setup your desktop a sys admin? That would be tech support.
This looks really cool. I posted a question under the Freeboard recommendation because I just want something for the LAN only. Many of the other seem to be subscription services and for me, that's overkill.

I'm going to check it out when I get some free cycles, maybe over Christmas.
I switched from Windows to OSX about 7 years ago.
I recently gave my MacBook Pro to my partner, I was interested in a new laptop, and looked at the market offerings.
I was very impressed with what had been released in the Windows ecosystem; so much that I bought a Surface 4. Windows 10 is significantly more polished than the windows that I left. The Ubuntu subsystem also satisfies my requirements for Bash.
All-in-all, I am impressed with how much Microsoft has improved.
Yeah, this is what was REALLY shitty about /u/Spez's debacle.

Profanity, hate speech, bullying, harassment aren't protected by free speech. And you see PLENTY of it coming out of the_donald. You don't have to tolerate that shit, you have every right to shut it down. But no, lets degrade ourselves by trolling the trolls.

What a strategic waste.

non-edit: greglindahl below me makes an excellent point on my choice of vocabulary. I won't edit my post, I'll just concede that I chose poorly while trying to articulate my point.
Ask HN: Do you really watch “similar shows of X” or buy “similar items of X”?
I want to get the opinion of people who actually does and enlighten me on what are the cognitive signals these options have for the user.

So do you? What's your take on this?
Fine. Replace Tails with Whonix-Workstation and Whonix-Gateway, if you need to worry about leaking the IP address.
If this is argument for banning the subreddit, as opposed to the user, its no less scary than the offensive speech.
Where do we draw the line between push-back by industry and push-back by NGO? If an NGO derives its entire income from creating public concern about an issue, isn't that as much (or even more) of an incentive to disregard science for commercial gain?

I don't see that there's much difference between Shell creating doubt about climate change for profit and Greenpeace creating doubt about GMO food for salaries. Same tactics, same goal.
Posting a bowdlerized criticism (when swearing is perfectly OK on HN) is not very impressive compared to explaining what you think is wrong with it.
> Also, the standard Hollywood tropes weren't as bad as they could be, but still distracting. Does every film featuring the military need a painfully one-dimensional rude hawkish general who inexplicably wants to attack the enemy in every situation?

There were many good things about the film but as you said the Hollywood tropes are out of control. It turns me off from visiting the cinema.

I enjoyed Machina Ex, I think I didn't sense them as much.

The 'military is composed of boneheads' is annoying (and wrong) but the thing that irritated me the most was the emotional take Hollywood injects into everything.

Why is Hollywood so emotional? Are Americans more emotional than Europeans? Maybe in L.A?

It doesn't match human experience at all.

Take a funeral scene. I don't know how it is in the United States, but having everybody wearing black (okay everybody wears dark colours, but the Hollywood scene is as if they went and bought uniforms), women with hat-veil things, many people sobbing and being tearful.

That doesn't describe any funeral I've been to. And we have very large funerals, with many hundreds of people. The occasional person emits a sob but nothing like the water feature I see on the screen. This breaks immersion. It's too heavy handed.

I'm beginning to suspect the reason why somebody would 'act out' in the scenarios Hollywood is known for, is because they are conditioned by Hollywood.

With rant complete, my favorite part was the sense of immersion with the 'things'. Reminded me of Half Life.

tldr; Give the prizes to the things. People are just bags of salt water.
Amateur. I make about 35k/month using only bash via CGI and some plain text files as database.
I can exercise my right of free speech on my website. What do you mean?
Depends on the language I guess. The most efficient way to represent buckets is to pack the buckets right next to eachother in a giant memory block made of bits. The other part of your question about using a flag, your method definitely works but adds an extra bit when you only need one value for zero.

Using bit flags:
Using zero as empty, 4 bits could represent numbers 0-15, so 15 values plus empty/zero. With 5 bits you can represent 0-31, so 30 values plus empty/zero. If you're always using one of your bits for the flag it reduces the uniqueness of a fingerprint by almost 50%.

How the filter is built in memory:
At least in Java, the best way to build the backing data structure is a giant array of longs. Really what you want is just a giant block of memory you can address by bit offset. Unfortunately modern CPU's can only index into a byte offset. Because of this, buckets and fingerprints can overlap byte boundaries. To make this happen as little as possible, it's best to go the other way and index into the largest primitive structure the CPU supports. In Java at least, this means you want to simulate bit-addressable memory using a long array.

My java filter uses a Bitset implementation borrowed from Apache Lucene because the Java builtin Bitset only allows a 32 bit index(same with java array indices). You would think this limits you to a 2GB filter but it's actually only around 270MB since the Bitset indexes are a 32 bit int. Anyways, the Lucene Bitset uses a long array to simulate bit addressable memory.

Using regular arrays of booleans doesn't work in higher level languages unfortunately. They tend to use CPU supported primitives underneath so for example a boolean could take up a byte underneath. Every Cuckoo filter library I know of besides the reference implementation and mine doesn't handle this properly and is extremely space-inefficient :(.
But if that basketball player had super speed and agility, then he would be good at both sports. You're only thinking about what humans are like now. If we could freely add and take away genetic mutations, who knows what kind of freaky immortal animals we'll look like in the future. We may also not care about sports at that point.
As someone who champions a re-decentralization of the Internet and remembers the era of peer to peer communications, I am saddened by the assumed centralization behind your statement.
I have seen numerous companies get burned because they were sharing a single login on AWS. This is a welcome improvement toward practically managing such an important resource for many teams.
There is a lot of worthless hate speech in the world. Nothing is learned from it except that the speaker is ignorant.

The stuff people are taking about blocking and removing from their services is far from the best arguments or adversaries. It is the trash.
having ads baked into the OS so deeply just feels weird to me. The lock screen[1] has ads, the start menu has ads[1].

there's a frustrating bug on 1511/10586.678 where all my carefully created file associations keep getting reclaimed.

[1] I'm not sure what they're actually called. :/
The "hate speech" filter would have to be turned on by default for offline users, or else it's sort of pointless. Not sure if that would affect their reputation for being content neutral.
I agree with you, women's fashion choices are not something I think I'm an authority on.
But, I research music equipment thoroughly before I make a purchase. There are a couple sites I use that I've white listed in AdBlocker and they serve me ads for music gear incessantly.
Ironically, it's for a lot of the same equipment I've already purchased.

Well we need to produce more food, more efficiently, especially if we will not be able to use fossil-fuel-derived fertilisers and climate change will reduce our current food output. GMO foods is an answer to that crisis, so yes, it's important that we decide whether to adopt them or not.
> it actually makes more sense compared to a mishmash of systems

100% agreed! It's like using new, super secret, awesome encryption (telegram/zcash) vs something more established that's been reviewed, tested, and has support.

How to Master an Accent
The_Donald was infamous for it's brutal and violent opposition to free expression. Harassment, online and in real life, were the order of the day. Free speech is the very reason that The_Donald should have been put down. The chilling effect is very real.
afaik there was never any influence of hinduism on Japan at all - barely a contact with it before late 19.century and modern ways of migration.

And it would be the height of irony to call buddhism a vedic religion, as it along with other sramana movements (such as jainism or ajivika) of the time precisely rejected the vedas.
how I use porn sites:

1. register an email account to some unknown email provider with unintelligible username and email names and don't use it for anything after registration.

2. register to a new google account with another unintelligible username and email names referring to backup email registered in 1 and don't use it in any personal or professional needs.

3. go to porn sites.

4. after some time register a new google account referring to email registered in 2 and never use the old 2 emails in 1 and 2 again.

5. repeat 4 every 6-8 months.
This is great. Sorry if this is a noob question but what did you use? Is this all coded in raw php? Or is there some sort of combination of tools/libraries you used to make this happen like tensorflow?
What falsehoods are you referring to? I'm not that familiar with what's going on on Reddit; but alt-right is in fact just a stupid name for neo-Nazi (as recently codified in the AP style guide).
The question at the crux of it, and this is where it gets complicated, is would the same joke be made if they were men? Or a bit simpler of a question would be: were there overweight male celebrities that denounced Trump and claimed they would move to Canada should he win, and have any jokes been made at their expense related to their weight?

If the answer to either question is "no", then this post qualifies as hate speech by the Wikipedia definition:

> Hate speech is speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as gender, ethnic origin, religion, race, disability, or sexual orientation. In the law of some countries, hate speech is described as speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it incites violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group.

i.e. The speech was intended to "disparage or intimidate a protected individual or group" where the "protected individual or group" is these two women as the post "attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as gender".
I haven't had it long, so I have only ran Windows on it. The Linux subsystem actually does everything I need it to, so I'm a happy camper.
Internet Archive is great, both for the fun of having frequent copies of my web site going back almost 20 years, and it is important for preserving digital history.

Fortunately storage and bandwidth costs will keep decreasing so more replicas can be built over time. I just made a contribution.

BTW, I was in their building in SF in June for the Decentralized Web conference - a fantastic location, and I recommend that you visit.
The idea that the other side has a valid opinion just because they won is stupid. A lot of believes don't deserve any respect at all. The constant posts of "You lost because you didn't listen" are silly. The left lost because Donald lied about important things to a lot of people who are desperate for his lies to be true. The only way he holds support is by continuing to lie and blame it on others once he takes power.
Good point. Any ideas on how to create similar spaces online? And how they should be policed? Should we have some government created forums? I'd be concerned they'd succumb to the same issues we're discussing now. One idea that comes to mind is forbidding anonymous posts, but then again, anonymous speech is also protected.

Cell interferences / hacking  #nodapl. Tinfoil hat or real effort to stop data?
Good site, scary site, good because it does a great job at creating a simple logo. I suspect that it can cover the majority of the small companies that want a logo. It certainly does a good job. I tried and created a pretty good one.

I've used other similar sites but they've all been created by a team of programmers and system/network administrators over a few years.

Scary because it brings into focus how easy it is to replace what could be considered a somewhat complicated job. Yes, it can't replace all graphic designers but it magnifies the power of a few by a large factor. In this case, just one motivated individual.

Edit: changed bad to scary, fits better with my thinking, and fixed typos

Its a fine line between protecting the oppressed and being oppressive. When you misapply "hate speech" by using it to describe satire, or humor in bad taste, you run the risk of losing the "hate speech" tool to devaluation, blow-back and more satire. Some things deserve a response and others really are best ignored.
> DevOps/SRE names exist because the tech scene had to stop the confusion between the hardcore linux admins who can code and the dude who can setup your desktop computer.

If that confusion existed in any otherwise-competent organization, it was only in the valley. I was a systems administrator before any of "SRE," "DevOps," or "linux" came to be, and I don't think anyone has ever confused me for tech support.
Agreed. I normally consume Reddit via RSS and only keep up with a few subs. I haven't noticed much of the frenzy that people have been talking about.

I could imagine someone seeing this if they stick to the default front page.
So basically they are probably still using it but don't contribute back to the open source version?
why? they did it for /r/fatpeoplehate for the same reason and it significantly improved reddit.
It's a bit silly to be talking RISC and CISC these days. The big idea behind RISC is to spend your transistor budget on minimizing the cycle time of a smaller core set of instructions.

However, transistor count has been doubling for quite some time, and clock frequency has gone up by a factor of 100.

The idea behind RISC no longer applies. This is observed in the numbers and the fact that every processor manufacturer has been adding video engines, crypto engines and vector units to their processors.

That's his point I think? That there is a way to differentiate the different skill sets of different admins.
> Being a good sysadmin in 2016 requires a skill in programming.

This condition has held true as long as there have been systems to administer. Only the names have changed; that's what I'm curious about.
Which leads us to the full absurdity of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which at this point even the kernel team admits is "basically root"
It's a joke; which if not self-evident should be by the comments.

jballanc, your comments are offensive to me... now, I'm no lawyer, but I think your comment is awfully close to hate speech.
Echo chambers exist for all the other groups, too.
And that is different from every special interest site on the internet how? Most subreddits are echo chambers.
> That doesn't mean nobody knows.

Yep. Have a look at the code coming from the OpenBSD crowd. Those folks really know how to wield C. It involves, first and foremost, writing readable and straightforward code, in an attempt to make any bugs obvious. The OpenBSD folks also insist on code review, which also helps.

And wrt tooling: C has some of the best tooling around of any language. GCC, Clang, and Visual C++ can all do some pretty decent static analysis, and then there are tools like lint and Frama-C, and tools like valgrind. Coverity also offers free static analysis for open-source projects. Make use of all the tools available to you. Testing is also important. Shoot for 100% code coverage (see SQLite3, for example, which has a massive test suite).

As you say, one of the requirements is to pay attention to warnings and fix them. In compiler parlance, "error" means "I can't compile this code" while "warning" means "I can compile it, but it's going to misbehave at runtime".

And here's something about undefined behavior: it's possible to know which behavior is undefined and to avoid it! Not every C program is riddled with undefined behavior.
A major, Fortune 100-500 firm in my area had many of their Win7 machines rolled out over the network by a guy that knows nothing about networking, can't tell cache from RAM unless explicitly marked, and calls me for basic, tech support on occasion. That it worked out fine with basic automation in place supports your assertion. ;)

1. Go to free site and watch videos without ever even considering registering for anything.
Personal insults are not "hate speech".
You are spot on correct. And regenerating lost body parts will require far more than just flipping the activation of a few genes.
> I'm no lawyer, but I think that's treading awfully close to "hate speech".

How about caricature of public figures? Note that they do not have to be tasteful or respectful. Just look at bankers depicted as pigs.

I am neither american nor a lawyer, but as I understand it hate speech has a fairly narrow definition over there. It requires imminent danger of inciting violence. Merely expressing racist or other kinds of -ist viewpoints is not hate speech.
GNU PIES, however, does check its own privileges. I have no idea why it didn't get a harder look during the init wars. I get that Shepherd "isn't there yet", but IMO Pies is.
Would it be fair to say that the subs you visit are not typical targets for political discussions? The problem has been the chilling effects that T_D has had within its sphere of influence. The brunt of which has been felt by the mod teams in toeing the line between free speech and preventing civil unrest.
Women are teased for physical defects, men for mental defects.

Deal with it. Literally. Deal with it. Men and women have actual differences.

And just because there's a term paired with a definition doesn't mean that the term isn't ridiculously stupid, in so far as it seeks to pass judgment on the natural tribality of apes.

You should read up on the impact of sex and gender differences in pharmacology. Or just observe everyday interaction.

Mechanically there's an advantage to shorter limbs for particular sports, that's just how physics works.

If a basketball player could be made super-human they might trounce ordinary ping-pong players, but a super-human ping-pong player would destroy them.

Plus there's more to these sports than any one aspect. It's never just strength or height or stamina, it's a complex of factors. Finding that optimal even given all the options might be difficult. There's intrinsic trade-offs.

For example, there's two kinds of muscle tissue, that better suited to fine motor skills and that suited to brute strength. Most animals are heavily stacked in the latter category, that's why a chimpanzee can tear you in half, but they lack the sorts of fine control that permits us to do things like type with agility and write precisely.
I doubt I am going to pass it on to someone else as long as I am an end user of the framework. You get a great free framework and I get a framework that works exactly the way I want it to with the ability to jump into the code at any time and make adjustments that improve it for me. That's the open source deal.

He can totally find another maintainer, or a group of maintainers that would do a great job. Kind of selfish of him to hang onto it, tbh.
>Up until recently it was quite rare in the west for an election outcome to instil an end-of-days kind of fear in 50%+ of a country's population.

That fear was based on falsehoods and instilled deliberately. It has more to do with a splintering media that allows people to marinate in their own biases than a change in US political institutions.
I agree with the idea of what archive.org claims to be doing but it doesn't seem right the way that they are going about it.

The exclusion specifically of any ISIS supporting articles and videos makes it seem that archive.org is not truly interested in creating an archive for future generations but is instead interested in creating an archive which supports their political/religious beliefs.

Cataloging and archiving Islamic State videos doesn't mean that one endorses their beliefs or supports the organization.

It's a shame that what could've been an organization for good has become a islamaphobic political organization.

I remember seeing a story on BBC a while ago about how one guy, who lost the top portion of his finger while operating a toy in his hobby shop, was able to regrow it completely. It only took 4 weeks to regrow, including the nails, fingerprints et al., exactly as it was before using extracellular protein from pig bladder. Here is a link to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEnLK0oJCa8
I have no basis for any of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. The licensing allows it and allows them to maintain more control.

Yes, definitely. I don't really read anything at all related to politics on reddit. Perhaps the influence of /r/The_Donald is confined to those subreddits.
