Lots of great points in this article, many of which I agree with. What's absent is the acknowledgement of the importance of the audience. The gatekeepers generally represent the audience/market the content is being published for.

Take the movie industry for example. The highest paid actors of color don't make movies that appeal to audiences of their own ethnicity. They make movies for audiences that are more greatly represented in the United States, mostly white people. At the end of the day, that's where the money is.

With this all in mind and the fact that the audience completely missed the importance of the audience in this rant, I can't help that this is the reason she's still feeling this frustration as it's the gatekeepers that she complains about that understands that audience better than she does. If she understood that audience, she would have at least acknowledged the importance of appealing to them in her post.

Some startup post-mortem stated that they had problems with investment. Some are because of mismanagement. Others are because of conflict with the investor. Getting investment seems to have become the mainstream metric of success like it's the end-game. Success should be realizing the purpose of taking the investment.

I remember playing this when it came out! It was such a magical moment. It completely blew my mind that there was a SNES Final Fantasy game that we were never meant to play - I think I only found it accidentally when I was browsing ROM sites. I thought it was a homemade hack or something. I never imagined that it was a real game! Haha what a great memory.
> the problem with Greece is not the lack of laws, it's enforcing them

Hey, you don't have to tell me, I'm still waiting for smoke-free bars. Underage drinking is enforced even less than that, but it's a much less widespread problem.

The lack of "on-premises" laws is especially of little concern, as we very rarely get public disturbances because of drunk people.

I predict that Facebook's current PR problem related to this is going to be replaced by a swatting problem before long. I.e. someone reports someone on Live as suicidal, SWAT/police show up, shoot their dog etc, public outrage against Facebook ensues.
I wonder if this will reduce the problem of fake accounts. I regularly get such friend requests, and it starts to get annoying.

Also, those seriously affect the attractiveness of ad campains. I dipped my toes into it once, but it looks like a large percentage of gained "users" are just fake ones...

I understand that it was not decided, that it's just a proposal (a terrible, stupid, terrible proposal — but just a proposal).

I've worked at 2 different startups - currently in management capacity at one. 2 cents:

1) Appreciate the $ that it provides for income + ability to grow
2) If we could do it again I would not recommend it to the founders and instead focus on bootstrapping

Managing and dealing with pressures from investor is a giant suck on ability to think. No matter how much you say you're going to ignore them, they will ALWAYS weight on you and you will always weigh their opinion. This is despite them not knowing much about your industry or tech or market.

I've increasingly come to the opinion that investors become a drag on the company, and the best investors are the ones who put money in and stay completely out of the way.

You can count on the positions being low-paid in developing countries. 12 hours a day at $1 an hour maybe.
In parts of Eastern Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, Facebook could hire 3,000 college educated employees for less than $3M monthly, including taxes. So while this from a human point of view is a very decent thing to do, it's not necessarily as costly as one might think, especially not when considering the possible liability or regulatory backlash they may run into if they do nothing and Facebook becomes the place for suicides and violence.

Now, if they add all those jobs in SF, it's another thing entirely.

The farther away from the root cause something is, the less I can get behind it. For example, I'm against banning underage drinking, but I'm for educating teenagers about knowing their limits.

Drunk driving is something that's already illegal (obviously), and the bac threshold is quite low here, although I do wish it was (much) more stringently enforced.
Sex and other foreign words
You probably haven't found the right alcohol that agrees with you. Wine, beer, spirits (whether alone or in a mixer) have myriad tastes and flavor profiles. Saying alcohol doesn't taste nice is a bit like saying "I could never be a vegetarian because all the foods taste the same."

Not judging you BTW. In the long run not drinking is probably healthier than drinking. Certainly the case if one struggles to control the quantity of drinking.
What's weird is that Facebook cannot rely on their users to report blatantly criminal acts witnessed by thousands of people. It probably says more about Facebook users than the platform and makes me doubt that doubling this or that team size can make a meaningful difference.

Especially with this approach of manual monitoring which will probably just result in more questionable deletions Facebook is already known for.
You radically overestimate the skills of the average programmer.
I think the car-orientation of the US would greatly benefit from a European-style approach to teaching kids about alcohol.

I lived in Germany for a year as an exchange student when I was 16, the age at which kids can drink without a parent present. They can't get a license until 18. The vast bulk of kids there, in my experience, seemed to figure out sane drinking well before they got behind the wheel.

Coming back to the US and going to college, I watched kids drinking at 18-19 and driving, because they were inexperienced with alcohol, and in a culture that tends to encourage binge drinking.

It'll never happen; the US simply seems culturally incapable of healthy approaches to easing kids through becoming adults on a number of dimensions.
This is the United Kingdom, right? The nation with the highest concentration of videocams per unit area in the history of humankind, right?
No way this development won't turn into blackmail on a national scale.
You got downvoted, but I agree with your comment. I disagree with the reasoning of "if you let kids drink, they'll definitely drive afterwards!", but I agree with stronger drunk driving enforcement.

>> I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of this article.

I don't either. The tone is incredibly whiny and maybe more than a smidge elitist, in my opinion.

My parents came to Canada (from China) in the early 60s, and first rented living spaces in basements of... well, white people. They told me stories of how they wouldn't cook any "aromatic" foods like shrimp paste or salted fish, because the smells were deemed offensive. But that was then.

Fast forward to 2017, and the acceptance of the "weirder" Chinese foods among North Americans seems to be pretty good, and we can probably thank the Food Network and other TV shows for that. The author's complaints about the lack of interest in the finer points of some Chinese cuisines to me isn't a big deal. You can just as easily make the argument that people have the same apathy towards Italian food. I'm sure there are large swaths of people who think good Italian food is what you get at the Olive Garden.

I live in a predominantly Chinese suburb in Ontario known to have a lot of good Chinese restaurants (catering primarily to Chinese people). I'm sure there is a lot of nuance to the food, but a lot of it is lost on me. Most of the popular restaurants are basically cookie cutter clones of the other restaurants.

Unlike the writer, I don't have a problem with white writers introducing the non-Chinese masses to Chinese cuisine. People want someone like them to introduce them to something exotic to them. My parents for the longest time would only eat Chinese food and "common" western food like McD's, steaks and roast beef. My siblings and I would have to do a lot of convincing to get them to eat anything else. Of course, if their Chinese friends suggested something because they tried it and liked it, it would all of a sudden be "Oh I hear XYZ is delicious! We should try it", even though we may have suggested it a dozen times.
It would have been a small amount of effort to bundle it with the .net installer. But it is going to create big support issue if you have to tell customers one by one to install DirectX manually. Hope they will resolve this through windows update.

In Utah, my understanding is that the primary purpose of state owned lands is to generate revenue for the state. Utah uses them to make money, not to protect them. This includes mineral leasing for oil, gas, coal, etc, and grazing, but in some cases, like the "SITLA" School Trust lands, the state will literally auction off land into private hands. This is ostensibly to raise money for public schools. I strongly support public education, but this way of removing beautiful tracts of Utah desert from the public is very final. You can hike around an oil well, and eventually sort of clean them up, but outright selling off limited resources like lands is frustrating. Compared to normal revenue sources, like taxes, these land auctions raise such a small amount for money for the school system it's even more tragic.

The outdoor recreation industry in Utah is growing rapidly, largely part due to the National Parks, Monuments, and other amazing public lands we have to recreate on. Our 5 national parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef) are some of the most visited in the country. This isn't hunting recreation, like the Field & Stream article is about. Most of this is mountain biking, climbing, hiking, rafting, etc. (Think family vacations and young web developers in Vanagons, not gun toting hunters in big trucks.) On top of the burgeoning hospitality industry supporting this tourism, outdoor companies like Backcountry.com, Petzl, Goal Zero, Black Diamond, Altra, Kuhl, Scott, etc have large presences in Utah now. By some counts, outdoor recreation is one of the largest economic drivers in Utah. And between the aspirational outdoor photos people in the city like on Instagram and generally affordable travel, this visitation trend will only continue upward.

In response to Utah's politicians passing resolutions and endlessly promoting "taking back" Federal land into State hands, the outdoor industry that relies on public land access has started to fight back. To make a stand against these anti-federal politics Patagonia, Black Diamond and some other large retailers threatened to boycott the "Outdoor Retailer" trade show, held in Utah. In response, there was a call with the Governor and he basically gave the outdoor industry the finger. They are moving the trade show to another state now - more symbolic than actually hurtful to Utah's economy, but an interesting development nonetheless. After the ceaseless "jobs" and "pro-business" rhetoric from red states like Utah this antagonism towards one of it's largest and fastest growing industries is frustrating and puzzling. I can't tell if my politicians really see using public lands for finite oil and gas extraction as a better plan than protecting them for generations of future vacationers - or if they just get better campaign contributions from those extraction industries. Either way, as someone who likes mountain biking and who has high hopes for solar energy and electric cars, there is nothing positive to me about these state attempts to control my Federal lands. (I do vote, but I will probably not be able to affect Utah's red state politics for a long time.)
Not everyone has to. He was expressing his own opinion, and asking a question. You don't have to be rude.

Replace "security" by "safety", and I suspect you have the same problems.

A few years ago my mother had some problems with her internet, she had recently changed her old D-LINK to a brand new flagship ASUS router.
So while visiting her I played around with web interface and not many minutes in I managed to gain RCE allowing me to access a full root shell on the router via HTTP and I were even able to fetch the shadow-file. I searched the web and found several similar flaws,

Ever since whenever someone I know is about to buy an ASUS router I make sure to warn them and tell them to at least making sure to run the latest firmware if they go through with the purchase. As for my mother I brought over an old C2D-box which I hooked up with a couple of old Intel Pro Server GBE-nics, configured a NetBSD firewall+nat and reconfigured her router to act as a* dumb access point.

*Should I use an here since the object it is acting upon is started with a vowel or should I let the adjective rule the indefinite article? English isn't my first nor second language and I always struggle with these things so I appreciate any guidance.
I think it's too bad that you got downvoted for asking a reasonable question. I don't like the taste of alcohol at all either, and I never drink because of that, but yes, I do think that most people acquire the taste.

>1. KitchenAid (or Wusthof, if you are well off) 2. Ford (or Ferrari, if you are well off)

There's a difference between "it's possible to kill a person with this" and "this is designed to be good at killing people". It's much easier to kill a person with a gun than a KitchenAid mixer. Also, most US states make one pass a test to prove that one is capable of operating an automobile to some minimum standard of "not killing people".

> In gang infested areas, one could go through an event during evening grocery shopping run that would make that person buy a gun.

Things people who have actually lived in "gang infested areas" know: The union of "gang infested area" and "grocery shopping opportunities are available" is approximately zero (c.f. food deserts).

On SD3, I read that the "bugs" are mostly because English text took up more space than Japanese. From an article by Jermey Parish [1]:

"Seiken Densetsu 3 was among the first games to receive a fan translation, and Neil Corlett's localization crew was fairly open about the difficulty of that process. SD3 was a huge game on a cramped cartridge, and the Japanese version -- already benefiting from the density of kanji text -- employed a custom compression system that would have made it practically impossible for a localized version of the game to fit within the confines of the ROM without the removal of massive chunks of content. The simple fact is that SD3 was likely never intended for localization, because the process would have been impossible."

There is a difference between a "buzz" and vomiting in the street. The argument I've seen is that by not giving teens an outlet with lower concentrations (eg beer, wine) from a younger age (16, like Europe), the USA doesn't let its youth learn to manage alcohol consumption in a healthy way; this results in more crazy behaviour and poisoning cases.

I have no direct experience, but I would be surprised if that were true. Emulator development is the perfect intersection of, like, three different communities (low-level tech, video games, and open source) that are (at least on HN) perceived as extra-unwelcoming to women. I don't see why combining all three would cancel that out.

I would also note that writing an emulator is not something you just stumble into because the people are friendly or whatever. It requires an extremely honed set of quite niche skills. I think it takes something more to become successful at it than just "I guess I'll stick around because everywhere else is even meaner."
Agreement with politicians is not a binary, and what we're trying to do is maximise the agreement between the most people and the most politicians.

In fact, when designing a good voting system, we're literally trying to minimise the amount of compromising that voters have to do, when voting for their representative.
