>I agree that /r/the_donald is a poor quality experience, but it's analogous and in response to the poor quality experience of the /r/politics. They're both "circlejerks" that don't allow competing views to be posted.

But years ago, /r/politics was not that way. The fact that it is is being used as a sign by many that the "trolls have won".
Take it for what the article is, a warning of what can happen. There's nothing to be done about Mr. McPherson's fate. He did some dumb moves but it's very possible for all of us to fall in a similar situation. Our current mind set is not what it will be in the future. It's very possible to fall into a previous unthinkable situation if we are not careful. I, for one, thought it was worth reading.
You are conflating. I simply asked a question. I did not say that is what happened to Leslie. I do notice you avoid the question like the other who responded. That to me is very telling.
Woah! I had been aware of the Johnstown Flood. But not of Carnegie's involvement in it. Thank you!

That's not true of course. Most graffiti, murals etc are not of dicks. And if you have a community bulletin board that gets spray-painted with dicks, someone is going to possibly get fined or jailed.
If I pick a random poor third world country and tell you they are you can never be sure I'm wrong

Off course, we will be sure you're wrong, but please, go ahead. Name a "random poor third world country" that has a military base in one of its neighboring countries. And while you're at it, which one has a base in Kuwait, Turkey, Iraq, Bulgaria, Romania, Djibouti, etc, etc, etc.
By complaining about WaPo, et al, you are guilty of "whataboutism" yourself.

Is the standard so low that we can't even mention that a non profit(?) organization devoted to releasing leaks of wrongdoing shouldn't be blatantly partisan?

Edit: I misread the last part of your comment about "whataboutism". Yet my question still applies, isn't it?
I'm sorry, I definitely read more into your post than is there. I've found that abusers often use more legitimate overt goals as narrative cover for covert abusive techniques. "Protecting your children from things" is often a pretext for fulfilling the parent's need for control and dominance. Or for a more graphic example, people who handle their anger or frustration through physical abuse will claim that they spank their children for disciplinary reasons.
The glib answer is that whatever the buyer pays is the right price.

But I don't own a house because I don't see value in them at current prices.

What's got me curious is the amount of foreign investment in Australian property. Are they so keen because our market looks like value to them, or just because some spruiker showed them a graph of house prices over the last 20 years.
FWIW, I specifically wanted to disable the webcam light on my own computer and was both frustrated and relieved to discover it was - at least - difficult.
I disagree: I think there is a reasonable case to hold WikiLeaks and the NYT to different standards. I think WikiLeaks holds itself out as a much more anarchic news organisation than traditional outlets like the NYT. WikiLeaks isn't connected or have allegiance to any particular country, and will publish, let the facts speak for themselves and damn the establishment and any particular national interests that are harmed. On the other hand, organisations like the NYT are pretty open about how while they often publish against the wishes of USG they do ask for comment and may defer publication if they are satisfied there are very good reasons to do so. [1]

Therefore, for WikiLeaks to become highly partisan is a radical departure from their original mission; moreover, it has happened without WikiLeaks acknowledging that this is the case. I think you can't same the same for the NYT.

Oil also goes to our partners in Europe and around the world. The goal isn't just having oil for the United States, but a stable world economy. George HW Bush & Co didn't want be at the behest of one or a few despotic leaders that could disrupt the flow of both oil and the world economy. They/we need heads of state dependent on the global monetary system--so that the decisions they make can be controlled. That's the idea. And at what costs is our day's number one dilemma??

I would say the Dutch (as is often the case) probably have it about right: married women with kids frequently work about 20 hours a week and the man works a 40 hours that actually ends up being closer to 50-60 hours away from the family (Figure commutes alone easily adds 5).

Anecdotally, my wife couldn't stand to stay at home, but it's also physically impossible to work full time and cover the kids' schedules, groceries, etc.

It doesn't have to be the woman either. We have friends where the woman works and the husband stays home. But they also adopted, so she never stayed home to recover, breastfeed, etc.

Houses have been timber framed in the UK since the sixties. There is nothing wrong with timber frame houses, Bergen gets much more rain than most places in the UK and is still mostly timber houses. I've lived in a timber framed house clad in horizontal planks for the last thirties years in Norway (the house was built in 1952) and it's fine. Modern Norwegian houses are often made of kits of parts but that generally makes them better not worse.

It might be that the UK has more than its fair share of cowboy builders. It is not the building technique that is at fault but the execution of it.
It still doesn't look like a plane crashed there
Exactly what I was thinking, too.

I'm not seeing if non-project owners will be able to download archives of projects. It would be nice if anyone could download a project's archive.

I'm also going to invoke the names "Archive Team" and "Jason Scott" here to see if either one magically appears here.
Can you write more about how you provide a warranty? Is it simply guessing x% of the products will fail within the warranty period and set aside some money to cover those failures. Or is it more complicated?
Part numbers of every piece of a plane are required to be able to be traced back.
It's definitely not a feasible setup for playing against humans. You absolutely need a keyboard to play SC1/2 seriously. The use case, if I remember correctly, was the height of laziness-driven innovation for me: I wanted to play a bot match while lounging in a hammock and didn't a laptop at the time.

What really struck me, though, was how suited for a smallish tablet the original game is. If you dumb down the interface just a little it would be flawless. I've played around with a few mobile or tablet-based MOBAs trying to get my starcraft fix, but I can't find an equivalent in that or mobile RTS realm.

I would avoid trying to charge for bookings. You will be the victim of Disintermediation because the stylist will tell give the client their number and say to not use trees to book.

I'm sure it was, I just found it strange there are no pictures of larger parts of the plane like the engines or wings or rest of the fuselage but we can identify which plane it was. Obviously others didn't like that comment.
Can someone explain to me why there is no Federal regulation requiring the ISP, and anyone else collecting data on us, to provide full disclosure to the customer whose data is being collected? Also, why are there no laws requiring an audit process on erroneous data?

In America, the credit reporting agencies are required to provide a free detailed report annually and there is a legally-mandated dispute process in place for false/erroneous data. Why don't we have the same protections/process for metadata collection?

Instead of expecting data-collecting companies to police themselves, we must insist on regulation requiring free, full disclosure of all data collected and a legal process to have false/erroneous data collection challenged and removed.

The biggest danger is not that they collect this information, but that there is no AUDIT PROCESS to correct false information.

Not at all. There are APIs and also a data transfer protocol called Direct that can facilitate that data exchange in healthcare. You've just got to follow the rules of the road wrt to compliance.
I don't get the drive to eliminate bezels. I mean, big bezels are a waste of space. On a laptop they may serve an engineering purpose, but no user purpose. But for handheld devices at least, it's nice to have enough bezel to be able to hold your device without worrying about activating touch response.
You are saying that Wikileaks has a ton of other documents but won't publish them? Based on what exactly?
I love how "a Hungarian-American team" from the article is turned into "Royal Astronomical Society" by the poster.
I think there is definitely some basis to your analogy :)

I think that it also stems from most ORM's focus on updating single database rows at a time even though operations frequently span across multiple rows.

As all data manipulation ultimately happens on the server, I feel it's often unnecessary to keep track of individual resources in the client.
Sure it does.

Infinite is certainly a hyperbole; but trolls typically have more time and energy to devote to destruction than you do. I have experienced it. Some trolls are mentally ill -- I have had to deal with that as well.

I honestly don't know what else you're trying to say here but you did use a lot of bytes to do it.
"Twitter/facebook/email can all be erased."

That can mean professional or social isolation for quite a lot of people - or at least disadvantage.

I imagine that gay millennial men don't, but who knows, it could work.

Leaving that aside, I want a co-equal partner, but that doesn't necessarily exclude someone who stays at home for any number of reasons. I think gender equality should also be pursued by undoing the devaluation of what has been historically considered "women's work" (caring for loved ones, housework, etc).
Imagine if every investigation simply ended with what it "looked" like.

"Well the victim was known to be connected to organized crime, and was going to testify tomorrow, but it looks like he simply fell down the stairs. Oh well."
Absolutely. What happened to Generation Y? If Gen X cuts off at 1980, wouldn't Gen Y be from 1980 to early/mid '90s? Millenials are kids who don't remember dial-up, and perhaps even wired ethernet.
I think it's pretty hard to compare insurance from 1987 to insurance from today.

There's all sorts of treatments that simply didn't exist. And a lot of them are pretty expensive.

There's been huge medical inflation, I don't dispute that, but new, effective treatments are going to increase the cost of insurance outside of medical inflation.
There are a lack of resources out there for things like this. Especially with functional programming. This is very well done explaining the fundamentals of FP along with having people actually write code that ends up showing them something. Too many approaches go one way or the other.

Most FP stuff these days is trying to convert imperative programming users with corollaries to it. Actually new programmers do not have as much of a problem grasping FP as people think. The Clojure Bridge people have said as much in their experience training beginners.
We made Nigerian scams illegal. We defend against them partly by prosecuting them. We work hard to reduce the frequency and the impact of them. But you're not saying that we should do any of that for trolls. I don't accept that trolling is just something that necessarily happens and that we need to accept. We can hold trolls accountable and work to reduce trolling overall.
So long as we're showering love on libraries, the Boston Public Library was the first municipal public library in the United States, established in 1848.

http://www.bpl.org/general/history.htm

On a vaguely related note, in looking up information on production and copyright of books within the US a few months back, I dug through the history of the Library of Congress, and specifically the Librarian's annual report to Congress on the state and status of the library, dating to about 1860. It's quite the trip.

The Library, Internet Archive, and Hathi Trust have most of the reports, in scanned PDFs.

(Flying my library freak flag....)
I expect this is going to be the future of animation, since drawing in-between frames and backgrounds is very labor-intensive and expensive.

It'll be interesting to watch how copyright law treats training data. Suppose I want to make an animation in the style of Disney or Studio Ghibli or Kyoto Animation, and so I use their entire body of work as training data to generate output in the same style from my own sketches. Is that now a derivative work? Is it different when a human copies a style while drawing by hand (requiring a degree of effort and skill that few possess) versus if a computer does most of the work (requiring low effort and ordinary artistic skills)? Would animation be treated any differently than, say, training an AI to write songs like Bob Dylan or write stories like J.R.R. Tolkien or host a radio show like Garrison Keillor?
Just out of interest, but what do you think someone qualified to run technology at a hedge fund should do on a daily basis?
Then the second paragraph states directly that this category is over-broad, and that lumping so many age groups is problematic, and dissects younger versus older "millenials". Sometimes more than one sentence is needed for context :).

It's funny how in their breakdown of "organisations with the most open source contributors" they split up google and angular. Now I'm sure there's some overlap between these two groups, but that's still a pretty obvious this metric was chosen to make sure microsoft comes out on top.

I mean [GitHub] organisations with the most open source contributors seems like a pretty meaningless metric anyways for judging anything.

Stop being obtuse. Human communication is more nuanced that formal programming language. The context in which you say something is just as important as the content.

It is very easy imply something and push a specific agenda without technically lying.

What if I take out an add that says:

"elif regularly participates on hacker news--a forum for computer programmers and 'hackers', and he is a programmer who can create malicious programs. The libraries he uses support multiple languages, like Chinese and Russian, giving him the capability to make it look like these programs were created by foreigners."

I'm just describing your capabilities. But the way I said it implies to non-experts that your actually writing malicious code, because they lack the context to understand what they're reading.

They don't understand that all programmers have the capability to create malicious programs. And most importantly, just like the readers of Wikileaks commentary, they don't realize that supporting Unicode is very common, and it's necessary if you want to parse text written in it. It's not a specialized capability that you'd only want if you intended to write in Russian or Chinese.

The $1,000/library is a bit misleading. Larger systems in wealthier and urban areas do not take much funding, since taxes are enough to support the services. Libraries tend to scale pretty well.

It's small libraries in rural areas that really need this support. Many communities cannot afford to support even the fixed costs of a library (a building and staff person), to say nothing of a collection or broadband. These largely rely on grants and support from the state and federal government.

I'm a young person with other young people friends. One such friend grew up in Shanghai. He had never heard of the Tiananmen Square student protests (and the resulting military intervention) until he came to the US for college and someone asked him about it. Anecdotally, it seems China does a very, very, good job of controlling information through their extensive government controls. Telling Chinese people about something like that would probably surprise them greatly.
When I lived in New Zealand in the 1990's, I met many Chinese immigrants who lived in NZ for 3 years then after becoming NZ citizens went straight to Australia to become Australian citizens after a further 2 years there. That's where I heard that expression.
