Soya products are to blame. It decreases testosterone production in men, hence the "don't like breasts" effect.
I believe this is true in the United States also. I definitely have constant post code envy and look up houses all the time.

Housing costs a fortune for anything move in ready in any city/town that is desirable and I'm looking in the Southeast which would have been traditionally pretty cheap.
Free speech is a right, and something that the government must allow. People and companies have no imperative to provide the same freedom on platforms they control.

While I respect the decision to remain neutral, I have more respect for companies that say no to hate on their platforms. There is no requirement for them to provide a platform for it, and I think it's courageous for companies to have human morals, too many don't.
Solutions to complex filtering and regulatory problems can usually be grouped into two categories of approaches: a 'top-down' centralization approach, or a 'bottom-up' distribution approach.

Developing a system that will categorize what hate speech is and what it is not is an example of a top-down approach that centralizes the decision making process.

Allowing individuals to decide what hate speech is for themselves and acting accordingly is a bottom-up approach that distributes decision making among all nodes of the system.

The distributed, decentralized approach - the one that the modern internet employs today, where users decide for themselves what websites to frequent and who to interact with - is more appropriate for handling hate speech because it is much better at taking into account the nuance of specific situations and distinguishing what is hate from what is not hate. A centralized approach will either be too aggressive in its filtering or not aggressive enough.

Human civilization is becoming more and more inclusive every year. I do not believe we need to curtail free speech in order to continue on the path towards a more inclusive and accepting world.

A much more effective approach to eliminating hate - one that does not require us to relinquish the right to free speech - is to continue improving the living standards of all people, especially the poor. I believe that hate is ultimately a manifestation of fear. When the fear of economic marginalization diminishes, so too will the frustration and anger that derives from such marginalization.
Can this meme of 'Millenials are killing x' just die already?
I agree, that alone made me question the article more.
Yes, it's acceptable almost by definition. If people don't accept it, it means I'm not talented enough, and I need to find a new place to work.

Or be more "professional", but that's boring af.
In case anyone wonders, here are some points to get you started:

[X] created by a company that can't be trusted

[X] made mandatory by lazy devs && corporate bean counters who refuse to let other developers do the professional thing and make stuff work cross platform

[X] worse than the alternatives in many ways except being feature-by-feature and bug-by-bug compatible with the market leaders (yep: memory use, battery use, extensions)
Avoid the Helliconia books, they're a grim, hard slog. Sorry I can't give a positive recommendation, I avoided his novels after trying to make it through those. Always enjoyed his short stories that appeared in the popular anthologies, though, and he's got some story collections that are probably good.
Reminds me of the 2008 crash where people weren't buying cars. "Oh, awesome! They'll have to cut prices, so those who run a prudent budget will get good deals for not going along with the car-buying hype" -- no. Instead, the auto industry gets special attention and demand-propping, like Cash for Clunkers.
For me it's the sense of ownership that's missing. If I hosted it myself and just looked at data in the server logs - not even fancy javascript analytics - I'd get more information. Not having access reminds me that Facebook is using me to collect data on all my friends.

I'm gen-X, but align almost perfectly with millenials on that list. Good riddance, I say.
Yup, it's kind of surprising "traditional news outlets" didn't make that list.
I disagree with this in the context of their argument. If you own a business, you have the right to make "moral code" decisions about how your business operates. In the same manner that individuals who dislike big oil don't have to purchase Exxon stock (even though they might profit from it), business owners don't have to pander to clients that operate in a market they despise. Writing it off as some grander definition of refereeing the world's "moral code" is just a convenient boogeyman to hide behind.

The simple fact is that Shopify, as a business, supports Breitbart. This article presents an inflated sense of importance of their role in policing the world.

> To kick off a merchant is to censor ideas and interfere with the free exchange of products at the core of commerce. When we kick off a merchant, we’re asserting our own moral code as the superior one. But who gets to define that moral code? Where would it begin and end? Who gets to decide what can be sold and what can’t? If we start blocking out voices, we would fall short of our goals as a company to make commerce better for everyone. Instead, we would have a biased and diminished platform.

Missing part of the history: Flip was a spin off of the CVS One Time Use Camcorder that was hacked to be reusable. Hackers showed there was a market for this in the first place.

Additionally, I would attribute the rise of the smart phone more than the Cisco acquisition as the end of the Flip.
I feel the same way whenever people & news fixate on jobs, especially with regard to jobs being lost with the closure of large factories or other big employers. No, they do not exist to produce jobs. No, we shouldn't pour money and effort into unprofitable business just for the sake of jobs...
My group tried Mithril both with and without JSX. With JSX was more readable for the code we were writing.
You can't kill an industry; that would imply some kind of obligation to maintain the status quo.

These industries are "dying" (or more accurately, declining) simply because they're failing to adapt to the changing nature of demand.
Could you be specific? Are you talking about the US or another country?
AGPL is too toxic to use. Fortunately, there's not much compelling software using it, so it's easy to avoid.

Businesses should shun AGPL, period.

I find nothing wrong with either approach. "Service providers" that are neutral are fine by me.

Free speech - the concept, not the amendment - would not work in the current connected world if every service provider had to "ok" your message before it got out.

At this point it feels like they're stretching to tie stereotypical Millennial traits to dying industries.
It looks like Shopify allows adult products in general, but it's not worth anything if you're able to get money for it.

To some people, "defending free speech" only means protecting swastikas, but not female nipples. Why aren't business willing to defend my right to sell a double penetration!
Not sure why this is downvoted?

Not really you can find gyms as cheap as a monthly Netflix subscription or luxury gyms that cost more than my Internet and cable bill.
From what I can tell this is the US today.
> if your industry is not dying because someone invented a better and cheaper way to meet demands, but because there is no longer as much demand (if at all!), then, sorry, no, you do not deserve to be saved, or bailed out even

...wait, WHAT?! so you'd imply that bailouts are instead for industries "dying because someone invented a better and cheaper way to meet demands"? so kinda like "let's use bailouts to discourage innovation instead?!" wtf.

Not that I like the "saving dying industries" idea much, but if there's any way it would make sense to apply it, it would be to pump-up/resurrect demand for things for which people may have temporarily lost taste for due to a recession, but now the recession is over, things are back up, so it's a good idea to accelerate growth by encouraging people to consume more of the expensive stuff they lost taste for!

(Though some kind of Universal Basic Income would be the most sensitive way to increase consumption imho: cover the needs of the poor a bit, and also give more to those who already have more than enough so they can burn the extra cash and accelerate economic life...)

P.S. Oh, and one of the lessons that millenials should be thought imho, would be that, paradoxical as it may seem, on the collective level, by spending less you're making yourselves poorer! Of course, the "on a collective level" is the part most people fail to grok...

> What baffled me was that in the opening paragraphs she felt the need to point out that the powerful men were white.

Exactly my thought. The moment I read that word I stopped being neutral towards the article and started considering it as "shit talking".

If you're writing about sexism there is really no reason to point out the men involved were white.

It sounds like "Look at those privileged nasty men!!! And they harrassed me!" instead of "These nasty men harrased me!".
So, you’re not seeing the eclipse today …
Package naming never had anything to do with software delivery over the network. The reverse domain name thing was just a convenient way to deconflict the namespace by leveraging the existing DNS and registrars. And it's just a convention, not actually enforced anywhere or used in any network code.
I'm GenX, but for my generation and Millenials I'd add "Fine China ownership", "Opera visits", "Stamp Collections", and a few others to the list. With "Matchbox Car Collections", I'm not sure if this is still a millenial thing.
Lessons to learn after hackers hijack HBO's Facebook and Twitter
I don't think the particular issue is with deciding what
hate is. Your example said that the AI would understand
all of those as hate, and I think it would be correct.

What makes you so sure about that? What if the context is "I hate scientists...they keep proving me wrong". Is that a show of hatred or a tongue-in-cheek show of respect?

And then there's all the stuff that people say that gets misunderstood by other people.

And then there's all the gaming that's going to take place, where people realise they can silence their opponents by describing their opinions as being "hateful". Oh wait, that's happening already.

Ask HN: How to disable Google Chrome's auto-update feature on macOS?
Hi,

A little while ago (I think with version 55.0.2883) I was playing around with a couple of settings and out of curiosity I activated the auto-update feature (chrome://settings/help). Since then Chrome has updated itself to the latest version (currently running version 60.0.3112.101).

Chrome doesn't provide a "deactivate" button and the tips I found online do not seem to work (for example: http://www.wikihow.com/Completely-Disable-Google-Chrome-Update#Mac_sub).

I was thinking about a complete reinstall it but there has to be a better way!

Does anyone have any idea how to disable/turn off the auto-update feature?

Thanks in advance!
My favourite is probably "Supertoys last all summer long" (later changed into the screenplay for "A.I.").
I don't know if it's that simple. I align with this study, but have a decent income.

- Home-ownership is a giant pain and often a poor financial choice

- The diamond industry is corrupt, filled with human misery, and has artificially inflated prices

- Why pay for a gym when I can go hiking, walking, do yoga, and all the other exercises I like on my own for free?
Generation n has different preferences than generation n-1. Industries that don't adapt are going down, leaving the space for newer industries. That's the normal state of things.

So why present it in such a negative view?
I understand how it's likely to cause trouble for the merchant if they allow pornographic items. But don't pretend you'll "defend to the death my right to say it". Here's a cause! Why not defend to the death?
I'm fairly confident it is saying people are changing from cereal to things that can be eaten on the go, such as yogurt or breakfast sandwiches.
I know as a kid I had a ton of "collections" - Pez, coins, stamps, Pokemon cards, Nintendo games, postcards, baseball cards, old newspapers, books.

For many of those, I would build up and hold on to things because I thought they'd be valuable some day, or maybe future kids/grandkids would benefit from having something handed down. I also like history and really enjoy seeing antique craftsmanship.

Even though stuff like the Beanie Baby craze crested and fell pretty quickly, you still have shows like Antiques Roadshow and Pawn Stars that show all of those hidden gems. Or, in the coin world, you'd read about some trove of uncirculated buffalo nickels being discovered in an attic somewhere. Or, if you ever go to the Andy Warhol museum, there's a whole section dedicated to his "time capsules" of collected mundane stuff, much of which ends up providing some kind of historical value.

When I was a kid, no one told me about putting money into mutual funds and compound interest (or if they did I didn't listen), let alone the principle of survivorship bias. Besides, that stuff is boring compared to the Star Wars Episode I Pez collection and commemorative Pepsi cans[1]. If I had held on to my 20 our of 24 opened cans, maybe I could have sold them for 30 bucks or so!

I've been having a lot of reality checks as I get older. I kept my Star Wars prequel novelizations in good condition, but I can also get a book in similar condition on Amazon for 5 or 6 bucks. And I never read my parents' favorite fiction books, so there's a solid chance that my kids won't care either. Maybe in the midst of getting rid of these things I'll get rid of the one thing that could be worth thousands in a generation or two, but that's like playing the lottery, isn't it?

This is such a strange view - you don't care about Pao's side of the story because she's not a complete paragon of virtue? You also seem to be basing that on her time at Reddit, during which, as the article mentions, she was being smeared by Kleiner?
And no matter the monthly cost, they still try and get you into a year contract. That is the lack of flexibility. You can't go for a month and decide to switch gyms; you're tied to your choice for a year.
There are clearly some processors which accept adult products, as demonstrated by the fact that you can buy dildos online with a credit card. Why doesn't Shopify use partners that are more free?
Does one not think that there could have been a better way to encourage people to lose weight than to laugh at them, ridicule them and, to be honest, hate them? I'm not so sure if I consider your analysis to be a valid representation of the intentions of the people there, though I have little experience with the community itself, this model of "helping" people seems very alien to me, and contrary to what I had (intellecutally) understood to be how people behave on the Internet.

I think also ultimately it is the choice of the person to find their encouragement, as much as it is very difficult. Diet communities are built around the idea of individual desire to improve (which is why posts like "Three weeks in and it's great!" get upvoted there) rather than having it 'forced' upon them.
Is that very different from run a dozen containers on a single machine?
> That should not be something to brag about but standard business practice, even for Silicon Valley.

Wait until you hear about how accepting US Silicon Valley companies are about female nipples! Or pornography! That's heavily censored by many companies.
> If you own a business, you have the right to make "moral code" decisions about how your business operates.

They are making that decision. Their decision is to act as a service provider that does not pass judgement on any users of their platform operating within the law. There is nothing wrong with this decision - it is a non-decision.

I'm more perturbed by providers that choose to take a side. Those providers are now implicitly morally approving of all remaining users of their platform.

Except that the patent grant states that the grant only voids if you sue (or are contributing money to such a cause) because of patents. The grant is still valid if you sue Facebook for non-patent related issues.
I really liked Non-Stop. I would write more, but I don't want to give anything away.
I kind of agree with you, but there is the big question what to do with the employees of such industries, regarding re-qualification and employment opportunities.

Specially here where without a whole set of Zeugnis we are apparently unable to do a certain tasks.
I would say your last point balances out the others to show why productivity did not increase as much as you would expect!

I'm guessing the lack of disposable income and home ownership are a big cause. Who wants to buy a motorcycle if they don't have a garage, or don't know if their next rent apartment is going to have one?

Interesting. My anecdote supports this. My wife and I use cloth napkins. When they're dirty (or we're being hasty) we use paper towels.
Given someone who is ready and responsible to work remotely, which would you prefer, office based or remote based? I feel as though writing off remote work due to the performance of someone not able to work remotely is a bit unfair.

I am full time remote, and the hours per day I can work range between a couple of hours and a dozen. So long as the work is done and the clients are happy, that's what matters. The main thing is self-discipline, having the self-discipline to get the work done and to provide top quality work. You have the flexibility to choose your best working space, working hours, and working style, so go and produce your best work.

Anyone who thinks it's normal to want to analyse "hate speech" is already living the dystopian dream.

10 years earlier, the people who were deeply concerned that such a vague and ill-defined term had just entered the legal lexicon were all but ignored.

I think the problem is, the money is one of the only things written down. There's no, gee we're really sorry but things got rough this month so we're only going to pay you 70%. (Of course you leave if that does happen.)

But there's no guarantee on any of the intangibles. And whenever they need to save a buck, or even in ways that aren't fully appreciated, the good-workplace stuff can erode. After spending a while in this industry, I'd say places are more alike than different, and total compensation is a reasonable thing to maximize for.

I'm gen-X and would prefer to go out to dinner to a place with awesome food rather than a meh meal at a chain restaurant where they might just be microwaving everything that isn't grilled or fried.

Maybe because of the recession its more of a culture shift away from feeding the greed of corporate america?

Maybe people, of all ages, are just more aware of the details on things like handbags that are overpriced, overpriced bar food at Hooters, etc.

Maybe if we as a whole are more educated consumers, we consume less?
1. You assume every millennial eats soya.

2. You assume soya decreases testosterone.

3. You assume that testosterone is the cause of not liking breasts.

Wow, this was much more comprehensive than I expected. Also, I really love it when people write "brainf*ck". It reminds me of the times we had substring based spam filters instead of bayesian or markovian ones.
