So my argument is wrong but you want to be protected from inattention????

You need to be fully awake when running tools, same goes for driving. They are both defensive activities.

Maybe people are beating on me because I didn't say "for me...." but whatever. I stand behind my reasoning, it works for me. And I think the sawstop is just silly. Tablesaws, used properly, are just fine. If you are losing fingers can I introduce you to this magic development called push sticks?

My tablesaw rules are simple:

- use wood or plastic push sticks to move the material
- don't stand behind the work (sawstop still has this problem)
- don't reach behind the blade until it is stopped
- don't use the fence as a stop for cutoff work (unless it's a unifence and you pulled it back)

as taught to me decades ago by my high school shop instructor.

A lathe will screw you good, so will a bandsaw (ever freehand work on a bandsaw? Sketchy as heck but useful). A chopsaw can jump the work and come right over your thumb. Shapers, oh, my, the ways that shapers can eat you.

If you need what sawstop offers then there is no way I'd let you in my shop. If you like it in your shop, have the big fun, anyone who depended on that is just an accident waiting to happen on the next piece of equipment.

What's next? Chainsaw-stop?
What I want is to pay for the shows I want.

I'd be happy to pay by the hour.
I guess I'll have to resign myself to not knowing why some people program in "C" as opposed to C or JAVA as opposed to Java.

Some people always write their surname in ALL-CAPS, too, and I never understood that, either.

But it isn't so much that I don't understand. I don't understand a lot of things. It's that nobody else seems to understand, either. Even the ones who do it. Or they've all taken a vow to keep this information from the rest of us.
Piracy.
Awesome, thanks for the response!
This is similar to what I did too but the newsfeed is still polluted with lots of "likes" (e.g. liking a page, liking a post) by my close friends which are irrelevant to me 99% of the time. I wish Facebook let me hide "likes" from my friends.

Ah - good clarification. Did not know the specific status (if it was actually the agency or a company that provided ads). Thanks.
“Nowadays people talk about pivoting as changing the homepage on your website and calling that a pivot. That’s not a pivot. A pivot is when you feel sick and you are going to throw up because what you are working on is such a dramatic shift and you don’t know if it will work or not.” “[As an example] the founders had this dilemma where Lyft was taking off but they still had Zimride going on at the same time. We went for a walk and they asked — what should we do with this other asset we have — should we move people over to Lyft? At the time this was a really difficult decision to make but we decided to move everyone onto Lyft. In hindsight this is a no-brainer decision but you need to understand the founders spent 3 years of their life selling the idea for Zimride, building Zimride, raising money for Zimride, having users for Zimride, and sacrificing weekends / friends / family to try to make this happen. Then you are faced with the realization that what you have been building this whole time isn’t working, but this thing you spent a month on is working. It takes a lot of courage to shut the thing down you have spent all of this time and energy on. I appreciate the courage it took for the founders to move aggressively into Lyft.”
Do you know the internet was a thing in the 90s?
I noticed this problem too. Teams can fail because of lack of empathy and emotional maturity. This is a much harder problem that doesn't have any simple solution.
Unless the site was directly breaking the law, I see this move as troubling. It's almost always better not to drive these kind of people to the underground, and I think most HN readers figure why this is. The problem I see is that in the current political climate the general population won't understand that or is unwilling to.

I wholeheartedly agree.

How about it being a felony to brand yourself part of a party that was an enemy of the state at one point? Not citizens of other countries, but self-professed members of a political class or party that caused a war and casualties. Would the United States permit an ISIS rally, or an Al Qaeda rally in the middle of a city with a state University? But yet somehow we're allowing one of the most heinous groups in all of history, one that we were at war with less than 100 years ago, to represent themselves in public, armed and screaming for inequality, for murder of people that aren't pure Aryan?

This isn't a freedom of speech issue, this is a what are we going to tolerate issue. We won't let people walk down the street with an AL Qaeda shirt on, why should we let people walk down the street with swastikas?
>I'm one of those folks that believe that everyone, equally, deserves to be able to express their thoughts, beliefs, and beliefs regardless of whether I agree with them.

This was big when I was growing up too. KKK was always used as an example. No one liked what they had to say, but as Americans, we felt we were obligated to protect their ability to say it. You know, principles and all.

Yes, you're one tough maverick for repeating something stated only about 20x in just this thread.

But you're indeed quite brave to pretend not to have seen the 25 answers pointing out that it's also this CEO (and everyone else's) right not to participate in the spreading of hate speech and nazi propaganda.

Also:

"slippery slope" is not an argument, it's a fallacy. Observe: "now, they're only imprisoning the murderers. It's only a matter of time until they'll throw you in jail for walking funny"

> you are now -- in my opinion -- obligated to do so ...

Why? Does eating one apple pie obligate you to eat all the apple pie?

> ... unilaterally

As opposed to bilateral moderation?

I've tried to express the same idea to friends and family who pester me about not being on FB, but I never came up with a phrase as simple and succinct as "mental pollution." Thanks!

Their Linux support is limited (ie no client), but it is there. You just need to do the configurations (somewhat) manually. Works pretty well when I used it a few months ago on my Mint box.
It's of the same amount of value as the canned "delete facebook" comments we see in every thread on it (including the current top-ranked comment, which has zero value and is factually wrong).
Bonus question: what is cloudflare's role in either enabling or preventing the ddos attacks that one requires cloudflare to survive?
"paid" as in you have to pay per DDoS to the booter. CF business is not in getting money directly from the booters, but in acquiring many paid CF subscriptions from the sites that the booters can attack. Some of these booters can generate 100+Gbps UDP attacks.

I am not an attorney. I recommend hiring one. My lay understanding is that the IP is an asset of the corporation and giving away assets to individuals is likely to be fraught with legal and regulatory hazard. Disputable ownership of IP is the sort of thing that might cause future investment to fall through during due diligence.

Ultimately, the answer to most "do I need a lawyer" questions is, yes, when the stakes are non-trivial.

Good luck.

Their right to say it.

Their ability to say it is a different thing.
Webflow (YC S13) Is Hiring Node.js Engineers in SF, CA
> But there is nothing to rebut for a scientist without an agenda

Science is the right place to have this discussion, not politics. Scientists have theories, not agendas. True scientists are not ideologues.

> The google letter writer was attacked for his writing style and choice of discussion venue, not the contents of the letter

People have pointed to flaws within both his conclusions and his writing style. His defendants first claimed that media is mischaracterizing what he said; they said they do not understand why people are upset. Then, when someone starts citing his words, Damorians complain they're cherry picking, being nitpicky, or being a grammar nazi.

The way one writes a scientific argument is important. Peer reviewed research goes through many drafts before it's even presented to the public. Thereafter, it can still be the subject of much scrutiny. One cannot simultaneously claim that Damore's paper is both,

(1) Representative of a scientific consensus, and

(2) Undeserving of critique for his writing style simply because he didn't intend for it to be released

> people are still adamant about not discussing it

I find this comment ridiculous as we're discussing it right now, and this has been national news for weeks with hundreds of articles written on the subject, commentary from scientists, etc. If you mean "not discussing in in the right way", then I don't know what to tell you. You don't get to decide how someone else makes their arguments. "Why don't you see it my way?" is not a useful debate strategy.

> We can give people equal treatment before the law, but we need to recognize that differences in hiring ratios for not have to be indicitave of race or gender bias. It is possible for the numbers to be an emergent effect of group differences.

Many do recognize that racism or sexism don't always play a role. I don't work at Google, but, I don't see women assuming sexism every time a male coworker gives a bad review of a prospective female candidate. The question here is whether affirmative action is an appropriate strategy for reducing gender imbalances. I understand many conservatives feel it's not. But, when asked how to correct for various socialization factors (not all of which are sexist or racist -- they can just be habit), their solutions would seem to keep the status quo. One of Damore's suggestions is to "reduce empathy". I can't think anything more inhumane.

My opinion is that they are the worst idea ever created. They incentivize infighting and undercutting each other. They lead to situations where everyone on your team is a top-notch performer but you have to cut someone, so you fire someone who's doing a great job. Or the reverse, everyone on your team is a complete fuck-up, but you have to give bonuses to the top 10% or whatever, so you reward people who are doing a terrible job. Nobody I know who has been involved with them (including the managers who have to do cutting and bonus-giving) thinks they're a good idea.

Nah, I like all that stuff. It all helps make driving safer.

The sawstop is sort of like making left hand turns safer but nothing else. That's weird to me, all the other stuff is still dangerous but this one thing is safer. That doesn't seem to be a win to me. Maybe it is to you, for me, I think it would make me less careful in the cases where I don't have protection.
Sounds like you didn't care about them in the first place. I'd like to think that friendships and love (not necessarily romantic love) survives the distance.

Having said that, I totally get that one may not necessarily want to know what a friend had for lunch, for example :).
Are you claiming that a random-bit-flipping attack such as targeted read disturb can cause corrupted data to be returned even through data scrambling, a first-level LDPC check and a final CRC check on the output?

From your paper: "We assume that the victim system runs
a filesystem on top of MLC NAND flash-based SSD."

It seems very naive to be surprised that people would assume this is an attack on SSDs.
The equal time rule exists because they are broadcasting on finite wireless spectrum that belongs to the public. It does not apply here.
Cloudflare has also been crucial to malware vendors who are pushing out their exploit kits. When I worked at Malwarebytes we had the worst possible time working with the Cloudflare abuse team to take down active exploit kits.

They continuously hid behind "free speech" to justify hosting this stuff, even though we not talking about speech but literal malware exploit kits. Cloudflare is one of those companies that is actively making the world a worse place to live in.
The devil (of course), is in the details - I would definitely check with a lawyer. If money is an issue, then call around - many lawyers will do a free consultation, where they could probably tell you if your situation required a lawyer to draft a document, or just something signed by the board.
Agreed.

To the younger generation I am sure they already are considered equal to or better than HBO, they are less likely to factor in any legacy content.
It's fair to say that the boundaries of "functional programming" are pretty amorphous and I certainly didn't mean untyped functional programming. In any case, if you want to prevent null/None errors in a way that gives the programmer his/her own access to create similar new abstractions then you need

* sum types

* parametric polymorphism

* pattern matching

at which point you may as well also add

* first class functions

and then if you don't describe your language as "typed functional" then how do you describe it?

Leaving my current employer and joining my next solely due to mission (plus a bit of culture). $current employer was recently acquired by a large multi-national "health/beauty eCommerce company" with an end goal to have complete domination in that sector. $next employer is focused on delivering a quality service to a specific audience (plus give back to that audience as much as possible). While it's asinine to assume that $next has no interest in expanding profit, the difference in mission and culture spawned from those missions is night and day to me. I've come to realize that if I am personally unable to reconcile a company's mission with my own interests and beliefs, I will eventually be unhappy regardless of the benefits they provide.
Damning? I find it humble and self-deprecating to call a lucid moment as this a "bad mood".
Reading this it sounds like you missed the intent of the post. Cloudflare would have not done this had there not been circumstances in which it was indicated that cloudflare supports the organization.

It isn't clear to me where/how they determined this organization was "secretly" claiming cloudflare supported them.

Nazi's aren't a protected class. I don't have to sell you server space. But I also don't have the right to knock down your own server, should you set one up on the public internet.
Every time someone says that, I just hear "I'm defending censorship." Is that what you are doing, or am I just overly sensitive?

I mean everyone on here knows this, yet every time someone feels they need to say it. We aren't debating what the first amendment protects, we are debating on wether it's good for our country to have all internet speech controlled by a handful of conglomerates.

This is going to sound unfair, but it's not unlike saying, "Sure slavery is immoral, but it's legal! The Supreme Court said so!"
Totally! That's close to how I'm using Facebook normally. I don't even have Messenger on my mobile devices.
That's an extremely disingenuous statement. It's not just "a [huge] exception", it's the entire basis for google's strategy. AMP isn't just a standard for how to construct a website, it's a way for external entities like Google to host your site directly inside their site, so that they have ever-increasing access to your browsing behavior. Now Google doesn't just know what results you clicked on, but what links you're following inside those results, how long you stay on the pages, etc.

Facebook, twitter, reddit, etc already utilize similar techniques on their mobile apps to make it so "web links" you click just keep you in the app.

But the web (as in, not bespoke mobile apps, but what you get in a general-purpose web browser) is supposed to be decentralized and resistant to any one entity owning the end-to-end experience.

I'm aware that any other entity (like Bing for instance) could do the same thing that Google does, and that the AMP standard isn't what's at fault here, but there should be no doubt as to Google's motives.
It's not that you can't discuss issues. It's the extremists who twist issues and promote falsehoods to support their racists ideals that are the issue.

> So I'm throwing a party with just acquaintances and no friends are coming? That feels weird.

Sorry, I took the inverted view of this. If you are inviting me, most likely I am an acquaintance.

I don't throw parties, but I do like to hang out, so generally I just invite friends over. Just friends. When I do throw a party, it's mostly for someone else and so is definitely mostly acquaintances.

> Maybe I don't really have any close friends anymore, the definition gets muddy when most everyone you used to consider a close friend is now a 12 hour flight away and you never really get to see them anymore.

Don't take this the wrong way, but this is depressing. Some of my good friends I have actually never seen in real life. Distance doesn't mean you can't be friends. But I do make a point to talk with them once a week (we game together) unless someone is gone on a vacation or something like that. I remember a time when I didn't have any real friends and it put me adrift. I would highly recommend that you try and give them a call, or shoot them a text.

> Not trying to be snarky, but what's complex about Inception?

Having to constantly track how many levels deep you are, how time flows at that level, the rules for what may/may not wake you out of a level, the specific actions going on during the specific levels at those rates of time, how they interact all together, and whether you were right about the level the movie took place at the entire time and what that means for it all, and the information you've learned and leaned on to make the assumptions you have at every point.

It's a very complex, complicated movie built out of very simple premises.

> I have a feeling that Inception is kind of like Interstellar in terms of public perception

Possibly. I wasn't super impressed by Interstellar, but not for the same reasons people around me always seemed to point out. To me it felt like a story that might have wanted to make some interesting philosophical points but decided to hide them almost completely behind staid and rote characters and plot and overly interpersonal emotion driven motivations, given the scope of the project they were supposed to be involved in.

> If I've missed any deep concept within Inception

I don't think so, I think you just misinterpreted what I meant by complicated. It's not conceptually or philosophically complicated, it's mechanically complicated. In the same way that two separate expressions of an algorithm or procedure may be simple or complicated, elegant or a bunch of spaghetti code. Inception is a simple set of concepts expressed as spaghetti code, but done so purposefully with the intent to entertain.
Cloudflare provide their service to ISIS sites
I doubt any engineer considers himself not good enough to write any app/program and is sitting without building it. I feel many people have the ability to dive and explore and build things once they get a problem to solve. many of us don't realize the problems itself because they are busy working on something else. Also, you only realize the problems when you are actively involved into it. As an example, I have no idea if there is big problem that could be solved in say Finance industry. Identifying problem is a big hurdle. Also, many engineers are sitting in echo chamber where they don't get to know about relevant problems which they can solve.
I wasn't suggesting TCP/IP funding should be used to fund HTTP, I was just using HTTP as an example.

Though there is something interesting there- protocols with funding sharing with others built atop to increase network effects.

>The worlds gone sideways.

There was a torchlit rally where people shouted "Jews will not replace us" and "Heil Trump." One of those in attendance was Matthew Heimbach, a white nationalist leader who previously assaulted someone at a Trump rally[1]. Heimbach has urged violence before and cheered stabbings[2] by his fellow Nazis as well.

Part of Trump's base is engaging is white nationalist violence in the open. I agree, the world has gone sideways.

Imminent lawless action would be an impossible standard, and if that's your standard, then accepting harsh KKK political speech should be within your realm. Maybe they step out of line sometimes, but they know how to play the Westboro Baptist game. There's so much hate speech that can't be obviously said to incite violence.

Also, at the heart of banning bad speech is the fear that your fellow countrymen are too weak and stupid to deal with political, racial, sexual, or just scientific thought in general, and you fear the democratic reigns in their hands.
