No problem, I don't get heated over internet banter. And like I said, it's a belief, I don't have any proof just as no one has proof there is. But mostly I subscribe the Fermi paradox when it comes to beings that would be akin to us, single-celled organisms up to Internet armchair-scientist organisms. The only plausible that makes sense to me I first heard from Kaku https://youtu.be/liFhgUinrZU?t=2m45s But to me that's where scientific endeavor starts blending into spirituality, and completely out of our grasp.

I only made my first comment because I have a passion for space, and believe it's the greatest human endeavor. People being constantly teased with finding life does a disservice to a pure science that is unequaled in majesty and wonder.

> When minimum parking isn't required, many people still drive everywhere, and just park wherever the hell they feel like.

Take a look at any area experience an unusually high level of traffic/parking and you'll see this. People will stop in the road with their hazards on, double-park or park on the side, I've even seen people leave their car in the turn lane with their hazards on and go into a store.

We could still eliminate or drastically reduce minimum parking requirements if it was coupled with:

a) The general populace not thinking they have some inalienable right to leave their vehicle where ever they want just because they put their hazards on

b) Strict and swift citing of people breaking traffic/parking laws

I don't see how a code of conduct helps the situation you just described. Most CoCs I know do not have a clear cut rule on this, merely broad statements which you can spend time arguing cover the case or not.

The point being that in the 30 years since Chernobyl we have had no serious accidents involving any modern nuclear reactor models and one serious accident involving a reactor older than Chernobyl. We may just have too little data, but at least so far the data all points to the argument that modern reactors are safer being reasonably likely to be true.

The only reason we don't have clear evidence either way is that the risks even with the older models is very low.

There's no exchange when you ask people to give up time in order to obtain something. That time is just lost. If it was a currency, then the people selling the goods would receive the time you spent.

Your toenail hypothetical, and much of the rest of your comment, entirely misses my point. I'm not saying we should do this or that. I'm merely saying that people find it to be more fair when there's a time requirement. That's not the same thing as "we should require people to spend time."

I don't agree with the NYT here. 8 years ago I'd think the below linked juxtaposition of American leaders was a bit paranoid. Today I think it's more important than ever. Eisenhower warned us of the Deep State. Truman warned us of it. JFK warned us of it, said he was going to destroy it, and was assassinated.

The best way to handle this is to contact the moderators using the contact link.

Looking through the history of your posts which is available to anyone on the profile page I see:

1. Some posts were flagged and others were not. So the posts vary quality.

2. Among the flagged posts, some were probably flagged as 'duplicate'. For example the post about Google Spanner. The duplicate mechanism is subtle. While the ArsTechnica story was not popular, the news about Google Spanner was and there was a very substantial news discussion.

3. Some of the flagged posts appear to be what some users would consider low quality by Hacker News standards. In those situations, users often flag the content.

4. It is possible but not certain, that some of the posts came from sites that have such a high probability of containing low quality content that any link from those sites is killed just for the sake of reducing noise. Turning on 'Show Dead' in your profile and going to the |new| page will allow you to see that this is not uncommon.

Finally, it can often take some time to gain intuition about what does and does not make a good story on Hacker News. It usually takes even longer to gain a feeling for what makes a good HN comment.

My advice is simply to find better stories because that's what everyone has to do.

Good luck.
I believe they're not considered to be concealed, since idk, the packaging says so. Reading another comment which says it's a bluetooth speaker, so maybe the ability to listen was never reported to the consumer, which would make it a concealed listening device.
So true. The linux community is full of idealists that are unable to compromise. They would anyway not be able to live up to their own standards if they had to both ship software that new comers use and respect their ideals.

You miss the point. Where's the offline part of the YouTube comment section? My kid's kindergarten class has an FB page that is very important to how the class functions day to day. Sure you could code up a replacement but it wouldn't be nearly as easy to use as jus having everyone on FB. And it's great. And it really does strengthen and deepen the offline community. Same for the FB page for my grad school alumni. A massive positive contribution where people solicit opinions from literally all over the world and have meaningful discussions.

I don't disagree that YT comments are just a cesspool. But how is that Zuck's fault?

The issue is in this case big companies, not big governments.
The same could be said about the corporate raiders that run many tech companies. They leave ethics at the door "I'm just doing my job to support my family".

I think people who start their own companies sometimes do so because they can have more control over product quality and quality of life for their team.
What fact? This is a single government funded study. Surely they wouldn't say "avoid the subway like hell"?
Data Selfie (know what Facebook knows about you)
I went out of an IT-project targeting Germany, France and Austria with the impression that the view on privacy in Austria is a lot more relaxed, and at least the interpretation of its privacy laws was less strict as well.

Could be a subjective impression, linked to the project and wrong when looking at the bigger society, but at least so far I believed it. I acknowledge that Austria was also part of the streetview hysteria that broke the project over here. Might be a differing indicator.
> It's artificially cheap to do so, because driving is heavily subsidized in the US.

That's part of it. But it's also just cheaper to live outside of cities. If you live in a place where land is plentiful, you can have a big house, a garage and a big box store a few miles away. You can get to places on interstate highways (which are not going away because of their economic necessity). This is, for many people, an appealing way to live and a way that requires a car. Where I live it wasn't until mandatory parking in the city that people started to drift back downtown to live.
> Even if you don't sit behind a wheel yourself, if you use shops, the post office, or anything that involves goods being moved from A to B then you benefit from the existence of the road network.

Sure, and I can and should pay market rate for that. Yes a subsidy to drivers is indirectly a subsidy to shops and post offices, and even more indirectly a subsidy to parts of the wider population. So? It's certainly not an equal subsidy to everyone.

> By all means build your "social housing" in long thin strips in the middle of nowhere, if you think that will help or thats what anyone wants. But it isn't.

Out in the middle of nowhere there probably isn't a better use for that land (reflected in the fact that rent for it would be pretty cheap). In the city centres is where the land is valuable, and that's where I'd look to reclaim road space for more valuable uses (and perhaps introduce things like the congestion charge if some road access is absolutely necessary, so that the costs drivers pay reflect the land they're using up).

In economics these issues are called negative externalities and are well known. If you're not familiar with the term I suggest reading the Wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externality

There's even a page about the externalities of vehicles, although it's fairly sparse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externalities_of_automobiles

As a society we're better off by eliminating these externalities. They're a market imbalance that harms people.

Ooh, insults. Great argument!

But maybe I need to be more specific: I had never seen this in the communities I've taken part in - there's obviously some selection bias there though.

But my point is a CoC isn't required for civil behaviour. It won't guarantee harmonious behaviour either (see the infamous opal thread), and makes censoring easier.
The linux community is giving more shit to canonical than the Mac community is giving to Apple.

>Children can walk, or can indeed ride on bikes with parents

So children should walk to school on the highway or a busy road in LA? I don't think that's a very good solution. I think you are trying too hard to justify your idea rather than considering a better solution other than "everyone ride bikes."

LA is a very unique city. Look, if you want to wrap your life around riding your bike to work, more power to you, just don't try force your lifestyle on the entirety of the US population through punitive taxation. Also, if you don't like parking lots, don't live in a huge city. There is plenty of land in the US to live other than a big city.

I would love to buy some acreage in the middle of nowhere and remote work all day. That would solve a bunch of problems.

Hey that's great. My biggest complaint from running 14.04 LTS for a couple years was the lack of kernel upgrades. Fortunately it's not that hard to install a kernel package from a more recent Ubuntu on it, but I had to find out how to do it and it's more manual than I was expecting for a LTS release.
> Free market economy doesn't think ahead, that's both it's strength and weakness.

It's not the first time I read such a thing, but I'm curious: what makes you think free markets don't think ahead? Don't most businesses try to anticipate future demand? Do such things as futures markets not exist? Aren't stocks valued as discounted cashflows of future dividends?

Your attitude seems to be that it's up to others to somehow 'fix' modes of transportation until the somehow compete with driving in terms of convenience, because your convenience is apparently much more important than considerations like the planet. And I guess if other modes can't compete well, apparently then driving must be inherently better, right?

The main reason other modes of transportation suck is bad development patterns, centered all around driving. Unless you fix that, other modes won't be able to effectively compete. So discouraging driving is part of the multi-approach strategy to slowly change mode share and development patterns.

Your attitude is reinforcing the broken status quo.

I think that's a rare and commendable attitude. The statistics in the article support the idea of luck. You did all the right things and succeeded. But how many of the people running the businesses that failed did all the right things as well? Probably a decent number of them. Not the majority, by any means, but a decent minority. A lot of people fail because they don't do the right things, but doing the right things isn't a guarantee of success: it's necessary but not sufficient.

I live in DC and this came up on every development discussion because it was so absurdly against good policy. You could be building a neighborhood bar next to a metro station in a place where 80% of the residents walk, bike, or take transit and still be required to pay for bunch of parking spaces.

In the neighborhood where I live there's a big development proposal literally on the same property as a metro station. The design and image is squarely aimed at a transit / bike / car-share lifestyle (why pay the premium if that's not what you want?) but even the reduced city requirements are greater than the number of spaces for which the developer anticipates renter demand and there are a few vocal obstructionists demanding more because they still think you need at least one car per resident. That attitude is so deeply entrenched in our culture that they literally make excuses for why the older building a block away has something like a 40% usage rate, because it's just inconceivable that there won't be a big demand spike in the future.

ActUp used to give managerial lessons for leftist organizations. Of the materials I saw, one of the things they used to teach was that a truly flat organization results in informal hierarchies developing, by the people most capable and/or passionate (because they're motivated by the issue primarily). But then these people are most likely to burn out, because without formal recognition of the power they need to achieve that role or the formal hierarchy in place around them, they end up taking too much on themselves to cover the holes.

But they were talking to leftist organizations. Often these people had communist / socialist / anarchist ideologies, so you can't just tell them: "Implement a hierarchy". And even when they weren't leftist, they were often all volunteer organizations, so you had the same problem anyway.

So their solution, was that when you set up a new organization, you start with it flat. You identify who takes on what roles, and define those roles formally. As you define those roles formally, you define what people have to do to get into that position, clearly and openly.

And that's it. You're still flat, because the positions appear to be emergent. You have a hierarchy, but no one feels like they're stuck under the rule of a shit boss, because everyone in those positions are meritocratically elected, there's now a culture of free movement between positions and definition of positions, and what you have to do to move from one position to another is transparent, instead of opaque as a way for people above to keep their position of authority.

> (3) followed from (1) because it gave me a line in the sand that I could point to, without having to result to any sort of explicit threat.

I'm not sure how different the implicit threat of enforcing the CoC by banning people is from the explicit threat of enforcing civility by banning people. I guess the problem here stems from where respect for your authority lies. It sounds like the harassers in this situation had more respect for the authority of the CoC, possibly enacted by a community decision, rather than your own personal judgement. That seems like a positive for a large community where most members do not have a strong connection with the administrative staff.

> If someone is being passive aggressive or outright hostile then that in and of itself is likely to be violating the standards of a CoC

The whole point of passive-aggressive attacks are that they do not violate the CoC on their face.
