I think that standard is called the Commercial Code. It hasn't stopped companies from putting into ToS even things that are in CCs since they operate in many countries and CCs are, by their nature, national.
I would begin by
a) Naming and shaming your university. That decision is clearly counter to the goals of higher education
b) Considering moving to another university. If this one censors access to educational material, what else aren't they telling you?

> The underlying expectation here seems to be that HN readers shouldn't have to work a little

That's not my point at all: I work in software, so I love to stare at some cryptic message and mutter and make notes. But when I uncover the answer is "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine", then I'll feel ripped off.

I keep seeing product announcements using this technique of dressing it up in twisty little language, as if they're afraid that what they're saying isn't interesting enough to stand on its own. They slap on the appearance of entertainment, without considering how well it fits with their message (prioritising form over function).

why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby is a fantastic example of how to do it right: the whimsy doesn't detract from the message, but helps frame it and gives the right context for the reader to build the mental model of programming that _why intended to convey.
Actually, higher kinds could make you write more composable and reusable GUIs. I don't see why "prettier" is the only metric of interest.

Immutable records also makes it easier to share data safely, thus making scaling across cores easier in some cases, without worrying about plan interference.

I'm not saying it, I'm asking it. What more do you need than swastikas and glorification of the holocaust and so on? I love how the bar there seems to be raised so high that even Adolf Hitler might not qualify as Nazi to some people here, but I simply ask a question, and that's being like a Nazi.

I can do and am things a Nazi cannot do and isn't. I also can be brutal and hateful, like when I get sick of all these snakes on this motherfucking plane. I can do everything they can, but also so much more. That is the difference.
The First Amendment was instituted by literal slave holders. When did this requirement to (intellectually) respect the rights of others appear?
It's a mixture of teenagers trying out shock humor, people trying to be ironic, people who don't identify as Nazis but certainly identify with many of their ideals and straight up Nazis. There's a lot of abyss-gazing that pushes people over the edge into extremism.
Look. We only apply those rules for sides we like.
Exactly, that's why I think this is one of the biggest examples of mismanagement out there.

For me, it's actually not about the compensation for its own sake. It's that compensation is a strong signal of how the company thinks about the status of developers.

That is a feature of the Iota coin, transaction fees are zero. Of course there are some other problems, but in general, it would be perfect for such micropayments.
> What's with everyone bending over backwards to equivocate Nazis with non-genocidal, non-terrorist groups of people?

That's not what is happening, as I understood it. The grandparent simply refuted the general argument that "The business does not need to be accountable to anyone" by providing a counterexample whereby unconditionally following this argument can lead to an unwanted outcome.

In other words: it's not that simple.

I'd suggest that you could very well refuse to serve someone over their support of whichever side in the current Palestine occupation, as an example of something that might reasonably happen. And I don't think there's anything that would actually prevent you from refusing to serve pro-choicers, except that you'd probably go out of business quite quickly.

I'd suggest that your customers would have a right to boycott you, protest you, and attempt to socially shame you if you did either of those things.
Ugh this again.

> the Google Brain team is [...] over 70% White

America is apparently 63% white.

> the Google Brain team [...] is ~94% male

> Google Brain, OpenAI, and the media can’t solely blame the pipeline for this lack of diversity, given that there are over 1,000 women active in machine learning.

I don't find it hard to believe there could be 20,000 men active in machine learning.

> Earlier this year Vanity Fair ran an article about AI that featured 60 men, without quoting a single woman that works in AI.

Well given that apparently 94% of people working in AI are men the chances of that happening by pure luck are 54%. I thought this was a maths site?

Oh my god what a glaring mistake! Thank's for pointing it out, I've corrected the article.
In response to 1 and 1.5 the company should expend reasonable resources to support those who are struggling, and these rules are laid down in Human Resources policies (as I'm sure you know).

Management are just as bound by the rules as non-management, or should be.

Of course, "reasonable" here has a strong subjective component.

I have seen dramatic change in an individual, but it's the exception. More likely is a slow progression to dismissal. This can be handled well by management with appropriate skills, but is hard and is a often suboptimal. However it's possible that this process is a necessity in any organisation that supports its staff. Wishing it to not happen is unrealistic, and indicates naivety. Perhaps these naive, disgruntled employees are part of a larger problem?
Ah I see. I was imagining something with its own display, like a meeting room screen.
While it pains me to admit: They're actually right, and I was wrong above.
I think that's a reasonable approach, and there has been criticism of police (on "many sides") that police in Charlottesville didn't do enough to protect peaceful protestors. In this case, it seems that all of the serious injuries were inflicted by Neo-Nazis on peaceful counter-protesters, but there have been cases where antifa has inflicted injury, perhaps even without provocation.

Charlottesville police seemed underprepared for this event, in general. Many, many, reports from a wide variety of people noted a complete lack of police presence in a number of situations where violence occurred, or that police were present but merely observed violence taking place.

This leads to a lot of mistrust of police, and also makes it harder for protesters who might like to remain non-violent to do so. If you see someone being beaten up by Nazis and police aren't stopping it, the only decent thing for an able-bodied person to do is to try to stop it.
Then don't tell him I've also read all his floating point papers as well back in the day :)
I'm sure not all Jews condone the ethnic cleansing going on in the West Bank and Gaza. But I kinda think some people see the Israeli flag in the same light as Jews see the Nazi flag. And yes, I am speaking as a Jewish man.

You might want to check your Russian History, particularly Stalin's era, to examine the violence inherent to the ideology of common ownership, when applied Soviet style. Scholars debate on whether he killed 8 million or 60 million...
Here's an amusing anecdote that happened in my own veterinary school a few years ago.

An exchange student from south america came and used our (european and valid) school licence to mass-download veterinary papers (not sure if it was for use in his school or for piracy, the story doesn't tell). Our school also got IP-banned by publishers, even though they pay the rights to access them.

This is really crazy, I hope to see the downfall of scientific publishers during my lifetime.
I think you're confusing software shrinkwrap license terms with click-through agreements. The latter would apply to software as a service and require affirmative consent from the end user/licensee. As far I know online contracts are still enforced under the German Civil Code as long as they're properly formed, just as is the case everywhere else that I know about.
Without meaning to make any greater point, being sued isn't the same as being found guilty but is often treated as being 'close enough' in the media.
>Whataboutism

This is not what the parent is employing. The parent commenter is saying that if you enable arbitrary lines in the sand that those in power WILL ENGAGE in Whataboutism, taking the corner case of "we're just going to ban Nazi speech" and stuffing the precedent down the throats of the courts until it sticks close enough.

As the parent commenter said, there is enough evidence to show that there are violent sects of BLM and other groups that promote equality, and that might just be enough to get the corner case precedent to hammer and crush the same freedom of assembly we just happened to carve out for white supremacists.
I'm a statistician.

It's freaking rare so they don't have any opinion on it if they don't know it.

If I ever need to model I would do it in Bayesian hierarchical modeling.

But seeing that I'mma do data science many companies don't really care about such intricate modeling especially when it take forever to run MCMC is sooo slow (haven't tried Hamiltonian MC tho).

If it's so mainstream then it wouldn't be so hard to freaking google and find implementation in Stan for chinese buffet or indian buffet.
> Our goal is to produce a small, sleek system well-suited for hosting containers or being employed as a virtual machine.

This is probably one of the few use cases where building your own linux distro is a sensible idea.

Other projects like LFS encourage desktop users to build their own linux-distro, which is beyond insanity in my opinion. Keeping an LFS system up to date with security patches should be virtually impossible unless you set aside a decent portion of your daily free time for this task, which probably nobody is willing to do. I can see how building your own linux distro is educational and fun, but in terms of security and maintenance it is an absolute nightmare.
Just calling yourself a Nazi or doing the chants or whatever carries with it an implicit provocation and threat of violence toward minority groups.

Responding with actual violence in turn is not the right approach, but when we see large armed mobs forming and declaring themselves pro-genocide, it's absurd to call the people protesting them the 'real problem'.
> By your logic we should tear down the famous Vietnam war memorial because the US lost the war

Nonsense, the statues are not being removed because they are from the losing side, they are being removed because they commemorate terrorists and traitors, and were in many causes erected by racists later on.
"I manage a team of one very productive person" vs "I manage a team of four PhDs". Which does a partner prefer to boast about?
Incomplete targets.

For example, I used to work in a support department where the key metric agents were graded on was "replies per hour". Naturally favoring this above everything else led to a couple issues:

1. Little time spent on reply quality

2. No care given to handling a ticket after the first reply, because sending a stock first reply to a ticket is much faster and easier than working through the individual challenges of each ticket.

Management identified these as problems, but never changed how they graded staff in performance reviews, so the problems persist. From what I've read of other companies, this seems the rule rather than the exception.

Everything else I can think of's already been mentioned.
Hey guys - cofounder/CEO here. Happy to answer any and all questions about the service. I'm seeing a lot of talk of microtransactions, but really microtransactions are not the core of the model. The core is the giving and receiving of actual value as opposed to imaginary value that other networks provide. That said, I do generally believe in the concept of microtransactions and believe we will see more and better products that utilize them now that things like Ethereum are maturing.
This article is based on the misunderstanding that software complexity has NOT grown exponentially. It has.

Even though features might be added in a linear fashion (and I think that's not true either - the teams that build large applications have grown too), the complexity the whole system might scale as the square of the number of features, or exponentially. That is: if word2017 has 10 times the number of features as Word6.0, we should not be surprised to see CPU and RAM requirements be 100 or 1000 times higher.

Finally, just like a memory manager in an OS makes sure all memory is actually used, software should be using the computers' resources. If an average computer now is 4x3Ghz then a foreground application such as a photo editor should have features that at least some times puts that hardware to good use. Otherwise there was no point in having that hardware to begin with. As software developers we should aim to scale our software to use the available hardware. We should not just let twice as fast hardware run our software twice as fast.

I agree, so take action against that specific man, and take action because he was responsible for an act of violence.

If ten people standing in a row have an idea, you cannot destroy the idea by shooting all of them in the head.

If one of them causes violence, you should not shoot all of them in retaliation.

What would be your judgement if this radical group was just sitting away in their homes typing out blog posts? Would you still censor them?
So she was banned from entering the US not because she was carrying any drugs, and not because she intended to sell any drugs or get hold of any drugs, and not because she was currently using any drugs.

She was banned from entering the US because she had previously taken drugs...

EDIT: Also, the video on how to protect yourself when crossing the US border is "not available in my region"? What the hell? Do people in my region not have to protect ourselves when crossing the US border?
+1000 to this.

Imagine a world populated entirely by IOT devices. Imagine, for a moment, starting with a blank slate and trying to make sense of these devices using the methods of Science. They are so complex and their behavior governed by so much software that it'd be impossible to make a local model of how the device actually worked. You simply would not be able to predict when the damn thing would even blink its lights. When the world gets to this point...One would have to understand how software worked, in many different programming languages; kernels, scripts, databases, IO, compilers, instruction sets, microarchitecture, circuits, transistors, then firmware, storage...it'd be impossible to reverse engineer.
If you didn't want to be arrested, then you shouldn't be a member of a group that has waged war against the US?

It's a good idea to arrest violent people. Don't be the libertarian theory nerd that thinks of people as academic concepts only. In the real world, people are violent and dangerous, and they get to be arrested.

Government limits rights and freedoms of individuals to deal with the real world.
Doing these "worth their cost" risk assessments where n=1 leads to its own problems. Regardless of what they considered their own skill, nobody ever died in car accident, or cut their thumb off in a table saw... until they did. It's hard to be objective about your own absolute risk factors with decades of survival bias to clamber over.

And governments don't do this stuff for you, or even just the lobbyist. Injury costs the economy through lost productivity. Fatal RTAs take much longer to investigate and block critical infrastructure.

Just going back to vehicles, getting $400 death traps off the road is a good thing. These are often unsafe to other people directly (heavy, no crumple zones) and indirectly through emissions. However deferred implementation of safety features (air bags, SRS, table saw brakes, etc) means that by the time they're mandatory, you can almost always find one second hand. The "death trap" category just gets safer, not more expensive.
Why such an accent on the gender? I see no any relevance of the gender in regards with article contents.
>A white supremacist killed someone at the weekend for protesting

This person will be prosecuted and very likely jailed for his crimes. The ACLU is not rushing to defend this.
> The current boundary is speech that immediately incites violence

Well good luck then. Just like Hitler famously wanted people to not wait for his orders, but distill his wishes and creatively go beyond in doing things in his spirit to get official support later, the guy who drove his car full speed into people didn't need anyone to specifically tell them to do that.

> At the point at which they turn violent or call for specific acts of violence we should step in and shut that stuff down.

Oh, so the second the car approaches the crowd, time just stops and it gets "shut down"? No wait, that's totally not what happened and also what will happen as this shit repeats under a president who implicitly supports it and a populace that would rather berate those who DO want to shut it down than those who need shutting down.

Only very few will call for "specific acts of violence", I won't join you in holding your breath for that. Read Hannah Arendt and Sebastian Haffner or don't. These aren't anecdotes, these are your betters, casting pearls before pigs. Pearls that were bought with suffering the likes of which neither you or I can even begin to imagine. But if you offer yourself as hostage to the Nazis, then you're out of what I consider polite society, too.
Years ago I remember walking past a club in a very busy party of town at like 10pm. There was a huge queue of people. My friend said, "Let's go there!" Surprised, I asked why. "It must be really good, look at that queue!"

It really does happen.

But yep, like yourself, if there's a queue I have zero interest. I put it down to impatience and disliking noisy crowds in general.

Maybe extroverts are drawn to queues?? Too simplistic, I'm sure.

All political ideologues think their opposition wants to take away their freedoms. If you make the rule that people who want to remove freedoms don't get them, you create a tool for any party in power to silence their opponents.

There is no prerequisite like that in the first amendment. Go read the thing. Monarchism was a serious threat to the founders. Monarchists don't believe in many freedoms including freedom of speech. But the founders didn't specify it only applied to non-monarchs. Because they knew such a feature could be abused.

>You just resorted to what I call "the bad child argument". The bad rich child who already has everything wants an icecream. Mom, for once, says no. The child throws a fit and blames mom for it: if you gave me the ice cream I wouldn't have thrown a fit.

What on Earth are you talking about? Neonazis are spoiled rich kids that get everything they want? Freedom of speech is a luxury like icecream?
It's public knowledge I was charged with two counts of Traffic controlled drug and one count of Posses Prescription drug. All charges later dropped.

Full stop. Period. End of story.

FWIW, I read it and didn't think much emphasis was placed on the gender.

Steve Bannon, Unrepentant
There isn't any accent on gender. She is a woman, it's perfectly normal to mention that.
Meanwhile in another thread people are arguing about "free speech" in the context of Nazis. I wonder if some of the people so keen to defend the worst kinds of speech could be redirected to argue that people might have a right to private free speech with their doctor and also enter the US?
Thank you for explaining it better than I could (I'm not an English native speaker ;-).
It's very misleading.

I think there is a fair argument for Dota being vastly more complex than Go but there almost certainly isn't for 1v1 SF mid.

Well Adolf would need to be pro and against abortion, pro and against LGBT rights, since that was the usage for Nazi before this started. A political slur. If everyone is Nazi, no one is.

I was more warning of general, "He is a Nazi he doesn't have any rights", sentiment. Any bad actor can devise an identity that isn't Nazi, and prey on vulnerable by making them look like Nazis. I mean it wouldn't be hard to make ACLU look like Nazis for defending neo-Nazis.
> The reason you wear a seatbelt (for the most part) is because of things that are outside of your control: other drivers

There are plenty of things outside of your control, even if only you are involved. For instance, you could suddenly have a seizure or an involuntary muscle spasm while using one of your dangerous tools. I frankly don't see any meaningful difference between the seatbelt and power tool scenarios, just a continuous risk gradient.
