You made the hypothetical point that "Everything you create online has abuse potential" and concluded "it is how you deal with that abuse potential that makes all the difference".

I'm simply making the point that creators have no moral obligation to police how people abuse their creation.

So here's what will happen: BP will be shut down. The service providers and clientele will move to system that's more distributed and harder to track down. LE will chalk this up to a win, BP execs will get punished, and children will continue to be abused except tracking them down will be more difficult.
I think there's a difference; Einstein did not try to hold himself up as a moral exemplar, or at least, arguing so would be difficult.

(I'm ignoring the moral difference here between being a jerk and literally owning slaves, which is also huge.)

It's much easier to argue that Jefferson held himself as, and is seen today as a moral leader; to the extent that you see Jefferson as a moral leader, owning slaves really does diminish his authority in that area, in ways that having moral failings of the same magnitude would not diminish a person's contributions, say, to science. (Jefferson did make some contributions in that area, too, but compared to Einstein, or to Jefferson's contributions elsewhere, they were minor.)

I personally think one can be a terrible person and a great scientist; Can one be a horrible person and a great moral leader? My gut says that you can't, that your own moral failings compromise your greatness as a moral leader in ways that your own moral failings can not compromise your greatness as a scientist. though I can see valid counter-arguments in both cases.

For that matter, I'm not sure that scientific failings can compromise your greatness as a scientist. I think scientific contributions are interesting and important in part because we have this framework for dealing with scientific ideas that can take good and provable ideas from a source that spews a lot of (probably) false and unscientific ideas. I'm thinking here of Tesla, who unquestionably was a great scientist and who's work we use every day, but who also had a lot of ideas that didn't pan out, and many that one could argue were... crazy.

I think our framework for dealing with moral and ethical contributions is dramatically weaker. We do have such a framework for legal contributions, but even that is a lot weaker than what we have for scientific contributions.

Going to put this at the top first, we'll see if it has any effect...

Alot of the toplevel replies to this are so tone deaf and ignorant its mind blowing. For starters, the author is a native texan, as am I, and grew up not far from where I was born and partially raised. He's well known for his work, so the sighing and gnashing of teeth about "liberal New Yorker..." is just dead wrong. He lives in Austin, as well, so this wasn't filed from the fever swamp imagination of Brooklyn (or whatever ppl visualize when they complain of NY).

Its also important to note, guessing that many people didn't bother to read such a long piece, that it dwells almost exclusively on Republican politics in the state. And not from some inherently antagonistic place. One of the main interlocutors is Joe Straus, a jewish republican, who is regularly targeted for replacement by his more radical ostensible colleagues for....wait for it.....being a Jew in a position of power in Texas. Pretty sure this is so well known there was a Daily show bit about some years ago.

The title is also quite apt. The condition of Texas demographics, not just along lines of race but urban/rural, income, education is also representative of the country at large. As is the vituperative nature of hyper-partisanship. Many of the points the author raises are similarly covered by other Texan journalists, like
CD Hooks at the Texas Observer (who is excellent btw). And while other people are savaging Evan Smith here in the thread (wrongly) as some kind of anti-white race warrior, you could do far far worse than his work as well. I was born here (I'm here now, actually) I went to college here. I have family in Texas going back over a 130 years. This is a good piece, covering an especially bad period in Texas politics(the most recent lege session has been almost univserally savaged as reactionary, racist as hell and utterly broken). I hope if anyone bothers to find this comment and is actually interested in Texas and the state of its politics they'll give it a read.

Always wanted to build a SaaS around services meant for static sites. Feel free to take these ideas and run with them since I don't believe I'll have the time to follow through with these anymore.

1. A content suggestion tool where based off of the current content and past content you'd build an interest profile so you can populate suggestion widgets on the page, while also not recommending articles they have already read before.

2. A user option to hide read content. When they read content, the link will be hidden from the site so they don't waste time sorting through old content to get to new content. I was planning on pairing this with the option to hide a story that's not of interest for the same reasons. All these articles can be viewed again either by turning off this option(provided the developers integrate it) or by viewing a page with all the content that has been hidden(or however the site developers integrate the api to access hidden content).

3. A favorites/history tool for users on a site. What I had in mind is being able to allow users to favorite content and this will be saved and accessible by the site developers through API to integrate, such as the obvious favorite's page.

Had a few others but don't remember off the top of my head.

HN doesn't expose vote counts
Totally not a gitter platform issue, but these platforms aren't really distinguishable from their user communities at the end of the day.

If Facebook only had 2-3 of your friends on it, no one would be impressed by the features and sophistication, they wouldn't get that far.
The problem is, though, that the moment such wide variety of rich-media plugins is available, AMP stops working for bloat prevention - people will bloat up their AMP pages with superfluous media and JS. Bloat is not a web protocol problem - it's a problem of people being incentivized to add it.

They probably overbuilt so that the half cured concrete would support the structure. Hence it's still around 2000 years later.

Yes, that was a little bit of a surprise.

"Each object a person carries represents a particular fear: of injury, of discomfort, of boredom, of attack. The “last vestige” of fear that even the most minimalist hikers have trouble shedding, he said, was starvation. As a result, most people ended up carrying “way the hell too much food”. He did not even carry so much as an emergency candy bar."

Given this minimalist orientation, the hassle and support systems needed for mechanised transport seem incongruous. Interesting article.

Thoughts on Yasson, the Json-B reference implementation for JavaEE 8
It's not an assumption, I work with all the major publishers and their executives. Apps are secondary efforts at best and do not approach anywhere near the amount of engagement of their websites.

IA is Facebook's attempt at keeping people on their own platform, similar to AMP's primary focus, and it also does not have as much uptake as it might seem. Other than that, a browser is a browser and opening a publications website is the vast majority of traffic, and consequently where the vast majority of effort is dedicated.
I didn't think this was built on WP from first glance, so good customisation.

What's "the resources" and why don't they have enough to even try and catch people raping thirteen years old girls!?

Damn, don't we put people in prison whose sole crime is having jpgs with nude photos of said girls? And then we turn a blind eye to men who actually do the pimping and raping of such girls on industrial scale. I call bulshit on this one.

To me this system seems deliberately broken and we should bring people who broke it to justice.
Right, sounds like our fundamental assumptions differ.

For the great majority of internet users buying more capacity around the globe to sustain a 100Gbps SSDP is not an option. If you run a mildly controversial website, you don't expect to pay much for idle bandwidth. You can go for hosted solutions, but then you will be charged for attack traffic. What I'm proposing is a solution to this problem - how can we make the internet safer for the most common use case. I propose: netflow (to identify the spoofing boxes), flowspec (as stop gap measure), and BCP38 (a fundamental issue) will get us a long way.

If we were to design HTTP from scratch we could discuss how to make it truly decentralized. This sounds like an academic discussion though.

Your second argument is that DDoS is not a real problem. I don't know how to assess it. Dyn was down. Krebs went down. These are facts.

The most basic safety feature is that cars can tell each other when they're braking, so your car can start braking the same millisecond, not when you happen no notice things.
Google Search for a start. Youtube is effectively standing alone in the space. Google Maps is completely dominating the space (in particular there is nothing that replaces the Earth product or the parts of Earth in maps).

Gmail is taking over the world over here. Most local mail solutions are irrelevant at this point and the only real alternative to gmail even intentionally is outlook now.

Chrome effectively took out the rest of the bunch as well, at least on desktop and Android.

Lastly Google's ad business is something nobody can avoid.
Curious, but is there any company that treats CSR's really well and have a 85%+ employee satisfaction?

From the article, in "Replies":

The fact that man does not understand Chinese is irrelevant, because it is only the system as a whole that matters.
Searle notes that (in this simple version of the reply) the "system" is nothing more than a collection of ordinary physical objects; it grants the power of understanding and consciousness to "the conjunction of that person and bits of paper" without making any effort to explain how this pile of objects has become a conscious, thinking being. Searle argues that no reasonable person should be satisfied with the reply, unless they are "under the grip of an ideology".

For one, when a company's shares fall in value - the company's finances have little effect apart from increased cost of capital raised in future through equity.
I suspect it might have been taken out of context. The tone of Eb's reply made it sound like the reporter was perhaps trying to put words into his mouth to get some evocative quote about conservation or something, and instead got the exasperated response "If I want to buy an airplane and fill it full of a thousand gallons of fifty-dollar-a-gallon fuel, and I got the money to do it, goddamn it, leave me alone!"

Dithering is something done in software; not in the camera (well, camera firmware could do it for you). I'd just get a modern camera and apply filters to get the aesthetic you want. You can take a look at the output of several dithering algorithms on the Wikipedia page:

As we walked, Eberhart recounted his travels thus far. He had begun 46 days earlier at the southern terminus of the Continental Divide trail. From there, he headed east, through the blackened badlands of New Mexico, through the gateway city of El Paso, and on to an endless spread of dry dun plains. The traffic consisted almost entirely of semi-trailer trucks surging past every 10 seconds at speeds of a 100 miles per hour (sic). He had learned to take shallow breaths through his nose, so as to not inhale their fumes. The sound was meteoric.

Where exactly is this highway where trucks do 100 MPH on a regular basis? Most of them are governed to 65+epsilon MPH at double precision, as anyone who's had to wait for them to pass each other can attest.

Even on the 85 MPH-posted roads in Texas, a large truck doing 100 MPH is going to attract both the attention and the interest of the state police.

Restaurant tells everyone to leave bad ratings, because good ratings are hidden since they didn't pay extortion.

-----------------------------

https://www.reddit.com/r/food/comments/zdq0f/yelp_is_blackma...

Yelp "makes 4-5 star reviews go away" when restaurant refuses to pay extortion.

-----------------------------

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/inside-yelps-blackmail-lawsuit-c...

Stoppelman says that businesses want to control their reputation, and Yelp's position is to charge for that. Question here is, if money means hiding bad reviews, is that extortion? Sure seems so.

-----------------------------

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericgoldman/2014/09/03/court-sa...

The courts said that "Pay to Play" isn't strictly extortion. And claims that Yelp themselves wrote bad reviews were unsubstantiated (no proof, server logs can be a 'tricksy' thing....).

-----------------------------

https://www.cnet.com/news/to-mock-yelp-restaurant-asks-custo...

This has gotten bad enough, that businesses are telling customers to seed YELP with good "Bad reviews".

-----------------------------

Seriously, when they call, and you fail to pay, your page on YELP goes to the toilet. How much "proof" do you need? There seems to be a misdirection by blaming 3rd party customers, but seriously. They're using blackmail as their market strategy.
I found that Yelp's reviews very unreliable. My business owner friends told me that they are constantly harassed by yelp's sales representatives to buy the right to "clean up" their reviews. I don't see how yelp can continue trash their brand like this and blaming Google for their low performance.

I like distinct buttons. I like being able to tell by feel where my fingers are. I lose track of my finger's position on a big trackpad where the only clues to finger position are the edges of the pad. This leads to touch leakage: you go click but you touch halfway in the button area and half-way in the trackpad area and so the mouse pointer jumps as you click, thus clicking on the wrong thing. Talk about irritating!
