So you built your business entirely relying on third-party services. Not only is this dangerous (if they change their rates one day, you will need to scramble), but, your business has virtually no barrier to entry.

Now that you wrote an article on it, there will be other people that will build a similar business in a weekend and compete with you.

Two points:

1) I don't like when people are so sensitive that there's no room for a harmless joke.

The joke might seem harmless to you (because your are privileged[1] to think so), but it doesn't mean it is for everyone. Also, if the joke is based on any kind of prejudice (the teller being aware of it or not), it is in fact harmfull as it only helps the status quo, while a number a groups are putting tremendous effort to disrupt said status quo in order to do something about prejudice that is affecting them.

2) there's so much social ineptness

Social ineptness might explain it but it doesn't justify or excuse it.

> Who said anything about it being good for you? Neither you nor I, as far as I know.

You said I gave "dangerous medical mis-advice" and someone, who I assumed was you, flagged my post. Assuming you didn't think the suggestion of not drinking was dangerous, what could you have meant besides interpreting my post as an endorsement of cocaine use? Either you keep changing what you're saying, or I've been misinterpreting each of your posts. I'm legitimately confused now.

> I then reviewed your source and concluded, "I don't think that what you've posted really supports your claim that the WHO finds recreational cocaine usage to be less hazardous than drinking enough to get drunk."

I recall them explicitly making that claim, as I referenced in my original post. Could the source I originally read have been a forgery and the Guardian made the same mistake? Yes. I don't think that's the case, but it could be. But I've definitely come across in other sources (that I guess could have gotten their information from the same unofficial WHO document, but I think they were sources that had citations, so that shouldn't be the case) the same general conclusion that powder cocaine isn't nearly as harmful as alcohol or opiates unless you take large enough doses or do it enough to develop a dependency.

It's a cool idea, but let's not give short shrift to the MRI downside. MRIs are a big deal in today's medical world. Not being able to get one, depending on circumstances, can present anything from a mild inconvenience to a significant challenge. Especially if it's because of some piece of metal you elected to have implanted.

I type these words with a (non-elective) series of metal prostheses implanted in my hand and wrist. Luckily, I don't set off metal detectors unless they're turned to extremely high sensitivities. But MRIs are out. I don't want to get into TMI detail, but let's just say that I have an ongoing medical condition that makes the inability to get MRIs a big setback.

Tread carefully with this stuff. Look before you leap.

Understanding Your Attack Exposure
Fascinating article. Speaking as someone who as worked around MRIs, I think the author underestimates the risk of being put in an MRI machine. It would be worth carrying a wallet card or wrist band noting that he has an implant (though emergency MRIs are relatively uncommon).

It's also worth noting that the fascial compartments of the hand can make infections tough to treat, and compartment syndrome can occasionally lead to serious problems requiring finger amputations.

Regardless, it's an interesting experiment that I'm glad someone who wasn't me performed.

Most of HN shares the same opinion, but what does this have to do with bootstrap-wysihtml5?
Note that this is from Nov 2011. Since then there's been a massive discussion about handling requires in a multi-thread environment. A lot of the problems with autoload comes from the fact that requiring isn't thread-safe, so if that gets fixed (global lock around requiring files) autoload won't be that bad anymore and might live on for another release.
That doesn't sound like a good thing at all.

Sounds to me like we can perhaps finally just admit that kids go out and get drunk, and haven't quite expanded their reality bubbles past their own nose, and have all us "grown-ups" stop pretending we didn't (except for where we didn't). And we can perhaps finally admit it because it's punching you in the face all the time with minimal research.

The stigma against having "inappropriate" behavior in youth known about that turned out to be part of a growing up process for a pretty alright person is ridiculous. All I know is that if someone ever brings up to me that they can find an angsty Xanga from my teen years, I won't deny it, but it'll be a huge red flag for me if they judge me, now, on its contents.

I'll agree strongly that it probably won't be the most pleasant transitory phase.
Thank you very much for your feedback!!! We'll fix it soon!
Over at Techdirt, a site I've been reading for a half-decade and contributing to for nearly a year, IP issues compose probably 80-90% of the posts. The reason I inserted that particular paragraph was to head off discussion centered around rehashing multi-national licensing nightmares and instead get some sort of explanation as to why this isn't being fixed faster.

Obviously, there is a multitude of systems already in place and extricating ourselves from this won't be easy and won't happen quickly. But rather than working to streamline these processes, representatives of content industries are spending a great deal of their time (and lobbying power) trying to do the impossible: stamp out piracy.

Agreed the piracy issue is a red herring; it's an emergent side-effect of the unavailability of cheap, convenient legal purchase options. But it's also one that is popular with the folks who fill boardroom seats at the top, who tend to be old and anxious about hot new technologies that they don't understand.

And that in turn is an emergent side-effect of the wave of media conglomeration that happened in the 1980s, as large publishers went on acquisition and merger sprees and ended up as part of huge groups within a handful of large cross-media multinationals.

What they urgently need is some sort of cross-licensing agreement, but I'm unsure where it's going to come from ...

> but the root problem is the sexism, not the ad copy.

I agree it was a very sexist thing to write. It makes me wonder though:

1. Which is worse, hiring an all female serving staff (perhaps wearing uniforms that would be considered particularly attractive to heterosexual males), or acknowledging that you have done this by writing about it in your invitations? Is it inappropriate (always and everywhere) to hire only attractive females and make them wear "sexy" uniforms? If they had hired all females, but not advertised it, would people still be upset after they had arrived and seen that all the staff were female? I wouldn't be upset. But advertising it, or at least they way they did it, strikes me as offensive, but I don't know why.

2. I feel mentioning the female serving staff in this instance is inappropriate, but is it always inappropriate? Is it acceptable for a sports bar to mention their "Bud Girls" or whatever in their ad copy? I would consider this acceptable, but I don't know why. Is it because a sports bar is purely leisure, and a hackathon, while leisure, is (presumably) directly connected to your profession?

I think what they did feels wrong, but I can't think of a good explanation of why it is wrong that is logically consistent with other acceptable norms in our society.

He wants to watch a TV show, and there is not a way for him to do it at a reasonable cost. If he really is concerned about following the law, he would just not watch the show. He is not being "forced" to do anything; he is making a choice.

I'm not arguing that what he is doing isn't understandable, or that he doesn't have cause to complain. The statement "I'm being forced ... against my will" completely misses the meaning of "force" and "will". I don't mean to be pedantic; I only point it out because it reflects a common outlook that does not bode well for people's ability to choose wisely in a difficult moral dilemma. Other examples of this kind of talk might be: "I was forced to pay an undocumented worker substandard wages against my will because I could not otherwise afford to have my lawn cut," or "I was forced to buy from a company that I object to because the competition's product is not as cool."
I think it's more a matter of context. In fact, I do believe in hand coding HTML. but this is a link for a simple wysiwyg editor.

Proposed SOX 404(b) Changes Could Add to Investors’ Risks
Though I'm generally turned off by the use of the word "privilege", I actually don't disagree with you on either point.

1) I'm not saying this is a harmless joke. I'm saying that I'm afraid that actual harmless jokes will fall prey to the backlash against ones like this. I anticipate that there will be another story at some point where an actual funny, but edgy, joke will be told and I will have to find myself on the other side of the argument. EDIT: I guess I've been sortof inconsistent on this one. I forgot I said that this one was on the line. It's a stupid joke. I suppose it's harmful in the current atmosphere, I could see it just being stupid in a different atmosphere.

2) I'm actually sortof holding their ineptness against them. I think it's their responsibility to try to learn to understand people a bit better, or leave the jokes to someone else. I'm just trying to get to the root of the problem, rather than assuming it's rooted in actual sexism (and again it very well may be, it just seems weird to me).

They did take the time to respond, and up until that response I think most people were just looking for an explanation to know what the real deal was. The response surely gave you that.

They spammed hundreds of people who mentioned them on Twitter with "we're sorry" and linked an apology letter that blamed the people who were offended. The apology letter solidifies the point that they think it's fun and harmless to objectify women, but since some people thought it was in bad taste, they'd edit the page to save their event.

GapList – a lightning-fast List implementation
The marketing page really needs to be changed to make it clear that it doesn't automatically gather email addresses.

I can see the benefits of the pitch that people only need to text the codeword but you could presumably extend the service to offer greater parsing of message content e.g. people can text the codeword, name and email and you parse them out rather than ask people to reply again with their email address.
In fact, if it was the best timezone converter ever, it would know my country uses 24 hour format and automatically select it. The server would be able to know my country by my ip so this would just be another attribute in the json ajax call.

While I generally subscribe to the Utopian ideal that good ideas should be able to triumph over bad ideas by virtue alone, there are probably both times where it is inappropriate and appropriate for someones opinions and beliefs to be relevant to their employment.

Scenario A, normal job, no customer interaction, non-manager, but an irrepressibly talkative fellow. Likes to talk to his co-workers about how awesome slavery is. Co-workers have complained that they're tired of hearing him, you've talked to him, he keeps talking irregardless.

Scenario B, customer-facing job. It comes up at the company picnic that the employee thinks slavery was really awesome. You haven't yet heard him mention this to a customer.

Scenario C, manager. One of your underlings, in charge of a hopefully-diverse group of under-underlings, expresses his pro-slavery opinions to you.

The easiest way to open yourself up to accepting criticism is to realize you are not the smartest person in the room, so to speak. It is never about being the smartest person because at some point even the smartest person will be replaced. I've learned to accept criticism by realizing that it's not about where I am now but where I am going. As long as I can look back on code I've written in the past and think to myself that I could do better now then I feel I'm headed in the right direction. Criticism then becomes a tool to keep me on course and I am grateful to receive it.

(But only if it comes from someone genuine of course... ignoramus' are an unfortunate reality we all have to learn to cope with).

It can be hard to learn to accept criticism of our code. So much emphasis is put on being the smartest or the brightest person. All too often I hear people at start-ups and companies say things like, "We only hire the best people." (To which I smile and wish them luck). A lot of effort is put into evaluating code in order to determine the worth of a programmer so I hardly find it surprising that it is common to conflate code with intelligence (or random computer science trivia for that matter).

I really appreciate articles like this. I think people should be a little more bold and creative when they sit down to write a program. It doesn't hurt to be impractical once in a while. Or absurd, witty, or whimsical. It should be something to be enjoyed, studied, and improved over time.

All that being said there is room for improvement in how we deliver criticism as well. A few less pejoratives would be helpful. As well as having something constructive to say. It's not always about ranking people according to some ideal standard.
Sorry, this is way too confusing. What I like is a simple tool like http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/
