You would need a much more comprehensive overview process to eliminate misleading information from movies, even if it were limited to life-threatening misinformation!

One instance I can think of is MRI magnets. Often, a medical drama will cut to someone pushing a button and the magnet coming on. In reality, the magnets are always on and bringing metal objects within range can have dire consequences.

The whole movie Home Alone depicts life-threatening pranks on the burglars. c.f. dropping a clothing iron 3 stories onto someone's face.
One reason why Bcrypt has taken over for other hashing algorithms is because it introduces a "work" factor which allows you to extend the amount of time it takes to calculate the hash in order to prevent brute force attacks. By making the work factor or "cost" adjustable you get some protection against Moore's law because as computers get faster you can up the "cost".

> For one, he cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded theater unless there actually is a fire.

This meme really needs to die. The "fire in a crowded theater" standard hasn't been relevant for half a century [1].

> He also cannot advocate or call for illegal activity by others (such as "Go and mug that guy walking down the street").

This sounds like the "imminent lawless action" standard [2]. IANAL, but it seems that the "imminent" part of the standard applies to someone telling his pal to "go and mug that guy", not to someone who writes terrible advice for seducing women. Even if those that follow that advice are guilty of sexual assault, it is doubtful this author is placing women in imminent danger of sexual assault.

> Whether or not it is within the project creator's right to publish this as free speech, Kickstarter has their own interests in mind. By facilitating funding for this project, they may open themselves to legal liability if someone going by the guidelines set in the book does end up sexually assaulting someone.

Again, IANAL, but I doubt that Kickstarter faces real legal liability here. This seems like standard first amendment territory. I am not aware of any constitutional law that forbids running a campaign to fund a book, no matter how bad the advice in that book is. If you can cite relevant statutes or caselaw, or can state a potential civil cause of action, I'm willing to be proven wrong.

> Just understand that this work dances the line between protected and unprotected speech, and Kickstarter does not want to play a part in that.

It seems firmly on the right side of that line, no matter how distasteful it is.

IMO, it is far more likely that Kickstarter doesn't want to be branded in the public eye as a safe haven for molestation advocates, which I can understand.

It doesn't do secret Article III courts. That doesn't mean every review or adjudication process in the government is public.

Most of the evidence I can find suggests that FISC isn't an Article III court. It happens to be composed of appointed federal court judges, but that's as close to "Article III-iness" as it gets.

Real Article III courts have judges appointed by the executive branch who sit with lifetime tenure.

Instead, the word "court" in FISC turns out to be a little misleading. FISC operates more in the manner of a review board. The Constitution doesn't set out limits to foreign intelligence operations, and FISA ostensibly concerns itself exclusively with foreign surveillance operations (and with the checks that prevent foreign surveillance from "mission creeping" into domestic surveillance, which is where things start to get fuzzy). The Constitution does not require NSA to obtain warrants to surveil foreign targets (no country really requires their spies to get warrants), and thus doesn't fundamentally require NSA to get court authorization to do what it does.

Instead, FISC is a sort of half-measure intended to allow the Congress to have some ongoing check over what NSA does, by passing laws and providing a body to ensure that those laws are enforced.
That's good to know!, I'd definitely recommend checking the east side of the country next time (it's like a different country altogether in terms of culture, landscapes and weather), mainly the Jesuit churches and Fort Samaipata in Santa Cruz (where I live now).

META: I know it's wrong to talk about flagging, but I think it's also important for the community for people to try to bring up good reasons to flag posts.

I read the linked article, I skimmed many of these comments, and hell if I got anything useful at all from them. Dating standards and decisions about misogyny and important topics, but they're also highly subjective. We HN'ers could argue until the cows come home and not accomplish a damned thing. In addition, it's highly emotionally-charged.

A couple commenters tried to take the conversation towards how a company should act in the face of public outrage. Kudos to you guys. You were drowned out, though.

I love talking about controversial topics. Heck, I'll post about the existence of God, the reasons for controlling speech, the relationship between organized religion and societal progress -- I really love good conversations among smart people about important things.

But I got none of this here. Just a bunch of people making speeches to themselves. Which looked like it could go on forever without either the writers or readers gaining much insight. I flag not based on the topic, but on the quality of the comments I see around the posting. So I had to flag it. Sorry.
Is it misogynist to learn what women like in a partner and attempt to be that? Isn't that making a world more according to women's preferences? How is that "hatred of women"?

If the author is wrong, and you write a better manual, many men struggling with the modern dating world will gladly buy your more effective book. But we aren't arguing fact, are we? We're arguing religion.

I am wondering how can you work with a 3D model with a file size of 1 TB ? Does it require custom software to deal with such a large data ?

Perhaps its similar to google maps, where 3D "tiles" are loaded as required as you zoom in or out.
A couple of years back there was a website I use that switched to usernames as sub domains and I managed to break it by using "webmail" as a username, another user took "ns1" and "ns2" and now my first port of call on sites like this always checking out "webmail", "ns1" and "ns2". So childish but good harmless fun.
It proves that there's not much difference to filling the tank with fuel. Without this method, you have to hang around forever while your battery charges. 90 seconds is the same as current vehicle usage. 90 minutes is not.
Ow. You should be leasing the battery pack from Tesla, and then you swap one pack you are leasing from Tesla with another pack you are leasing from Tesla, so there is no need to worry about what happens when you swap a $8000 battery with a $10,000 battery.

(Are the Model S batteries even that cheap?)

"We are all aware that PRISM has been exposed to be nothing more than a user interface to information provided by companies that receive a search warrant after the request has gone through courts and lawyers, right?"

The Obama administration is awfully worried about people knowing about the existence of that front end. There are high-ranking officials committing perjury before Congress in an attempt to cover this story up. Somehow I doubt that they are worried about a mere front end.

Really, your response follows the same line of reasoning as the least untruthful statements being made to Congress right now. You are being pedantically specific -- PRISM itself may indeed just be a front end -- while ignoring the real story here, which is the NSA's ongoing wholesale surveillance. You are ignoring the fact that the NSA is keeping information that might be indicative of criminal activity, a dangerous mixture of intelligence gathering with law enforcement. When members of the Senate are saying that this is the tip of an iceberg, I do not think you can just write off this story as some misinformed reporters hyping up a front end.
They already curate projects for a lot less than this, as does nearly every store. YouTube doesn't host every video, HN doesn't post every link, B&N doesn't sell every book -- it's actually hard to think of counterexamples where they don't draw a line far before legality or some other obvious choice.

Not to say there aren't places that wouldn't carry this book -- but, nearly every store controls their inventory.
That kind of arguments are not worthy of HN. Nothing here is beyond debate (it may be of topic but that is different), nothing, no matter how strongly you feel about it is beyond debate here and shutting down a debate and declaring the other a monster simply for opening a debate is tantamount to admitting that you hold believes that you are so weakly tied to that you can't defend them.

FISC judges are appointed by the (Republican) Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from among the federal court judges, among whom Republicans outnumber Democrats something like 100 to 60.
Don't use this for anything you view as important. I just checked and there is no collision detection for usernames. You can signup for an account using any name and your account will seemingly just replace the previous created account. That is a big enough and obvious enough flaw that it also makes we wonder if this is just a phishing expedition or a way to mine email addresses.
You can (and probably should) seduce someone you've been married to for years.
Your friendly neighborhood patent attorney will likely give you better advice on this question than Hacker News will. In particular, you should probably be most concerned with whether this does, indeed, cover Tesla's implementation. An attorney will likely be able to walk you through that. It is probably less likely for you to hear uninvolved third parties' opinions on whether patents are moral, which HN will provide you in spades.

> And not go up and rape a woman, but perhaps take a chance and put their hand on the girls shoulder during conversation to show interest, where they might have otherwise oddly looked away from them. Also, there's a huge difference between personal conduct in a night club and in a library.

Touching someone you don't know is a no-no and many people find that form of contact (even in a night club) to be disturbing. Touching someone without their permission is just something you shouldn't be doing.
Why are you so sure that you aren't the one who "denies Holocaust" in this discussion?
Too good to be true, you ask?
>For example prostitution is widely seen as consential, despite tons of evidence that prostitution hardly ever is a conscious, free career choice, and rape is rape no matter how much you pay to the pimp

But you are entering the realm of misogyny again. The, "Oh, no one would wilfully chose this profession society finds immoral, they must be a victim of happenstance." It is a difficult thing to get around now days.
You are aware rape usually occurs in private settings. Just because some one has decided to go to a private place with you does not mean they've given consent. And this kind of behavioural priming will gear men to steam roll over someone who isn't giving consent, hence sexual assault.
Wait ... this is hurting my brain.
Really? Have you explicitly ask for permission every at every step of physical escalation in every relationship you've ever been in?

At some point there's implied consent to continue moving forward. If not, then I fear there are hundreds of millions of sexual assaults every day.
Has anyone actually had success maintaining a business with the donation model?
As an engineer I would have preferred to have seen a shot from under the car showing the actual process. It's unfortunate that they chose to record it from a hundred feet away.

As for the reality of this swap deal. Well, it sounds like a logistical pain in the ass. You are required to come back and get your original battery pack back or pay the difference in cost for the new one. Option number two could be in the thousands of dollars. That means your trip logistics now have to adjust to the location of that particular station or else.

Hypothetically, say you travel from LA to SFO and stay there for work for three months. Will they hold your original battery pack or will it be used to swap into other cars? Your battery could end-up in Nebraska. Then what? How many stations will have this tech and when?

Are they, perhaps, going to charge and store your pack and then somehow ship it to a station near you for reclaiming? If that's the case that would make for a very expensive power-up.

At the end of the day I fail to see how this might convince skeptics unless they suck at math and logical reasoning. Sadly this is very much like their creative financing scheme.

Cool tech but it would have been nice to have gotten far more detail on all points.

Don't get me wrong. I really like Tesla. I am waiting for the SUV and will more than likely buy two of them.
Subtle sarcasm is the best sarcasm, IMHO.
I don't know about you, but I would prefer if things happened "naturally", without talking about it explicitly. Us sitting closer, slowly drawing our heads closer, lips touch, mouths open, kiss.

It is, of course, somewhat sad that our culture taught us it's inappropriate and shameful to talk about sex, and that we're more comfortable having sex with someone than we are talking about sex. That's also why the most common advice on reddit.com/r/sex is "just talk to him/her".

Btw, you realize, right, that with your comment you're promoting rape (according to your definition)? After all, a woman taking "explicit proactive action" without your explicit verbal consent is, the same as a man would if the situation was reversed, raping him.

Have you ever touched someone without them giving you verbal consent? Rape! Please, that's absurd!
The netting is a stop-gap measure until the experts can definitively prove whether the insecticide sprayed on the trees kills insects.
What you are describing is still sexual violence. Forcing someone into a form of contact they didn't consent to, even if there has been some other kind of intimate contact, is still sexual violence. A lot of sexual assaults occur in this way.
I know that, and certainly I'm reaching out. This is why Better Place never built a single piece of hardware in the US or EU, btw. But I'm curious what HN thinks I should do. Last time around, nothing came of it, and the world was worse. This time around, I don't know what to do.

But what happens when the feminists run kickstarter, and facebook, and google, and tumblr, and twitter, and hacker news? There are many sites who would simply ban one side of the conversation. Sure, you may have the legal right to speak then, but not the ability.

Meanwhile, I don't think it is wrong to sell books to men to help them learn what women want to succeed in the confusing world of dating. If you can write a better book, one filled with sexy ways to ask permission for each escalation, then thousands of men will buy it.

The real problem is that the science of attraction doesn't match well with feminism. And men want to know the truth. A woman is twice as likely to give you her number if you touch her on the arm at your first meeting[1]. Are we supposed to surpress this hatefact? Or fire the psychologist who did the study?

My problem is, If I get to a place that requires no VISA but I have no return ticket because I plan to buy the next hop while I'm there, won't this make getting into the country more complicated?
Depends on the situation.

In a pool environment, always look for objects to throw. These include tubes, life hooks if available. In case you can't reach the victim, swim towards the victim (but don't reach the victim) with these objects and thrust them out. Else, approach the victim from behind and place your arms under the victims armpits. Place the safety apparatus between you and the victim and drag the victim backwards.

In an open environment with no safety apparatus, first panic and worship all the gods you know (No - don't). Then try to alert if possible. Approach the victim from behind (first para approach) and grab under victim armpits. Remember - this is extremely difficult to attempt. The victim could be heavier than you.

2 things that were repeated again and again during my lifeguard training sessions - reassure the victim as much as possible once you are in control. If you can't control the victim during the approach, pull the victim suddenly under the water. That will give the victim a pause and allow you to get free. ( There was a technique taught for that as well - lot of lifeguard manuals available online. I wish lifeguard and CPR was made mandatory at some levels.)
Actually, he didn't. Open [1] and search for "permission" and "dick". It's all right there.

Several days after a car accident just happens to incinerate a controversial journalist, it's extremely unfair to label questions about potentially suspicious circumstances as a "conspiracy theory." Suggesting that it's possible Hastings was murdered is not "conspiracy-mongering."

The author is likely right that people who assume the essential decency of the state and its agents are likely to prematurely dismiss such questions and falsely label them conspiracy-mongering when they are not.

When the public's attention is drawn to an entertaining and sexy conspiracy theory, something that might have happened but very very probably didn't, the public's attention is no longer focused on the absolutely-100%-objectionable things taking place every day. That's why conspiracy-mongering is a net loss for society, and why I'll happily crack tinfoil hat jokes at the author's expense - it's not because I think the government's a big group of lovable folks, it's because all that time we're collectively spending writing the script for a future episode of Ancient Aliens could be so much better spent.

Meanwhile, while you are busy cracking tinfoil-hat jokes, your attention is no longer focused on the "absolutely-100%-objectionable things" taking place every day...

It's true there is a cottage industry of conspiracy mongering with minimal basis in reality that serves essentially as entertainment for its consumers. It's irrational and counter-productive. But there is a much larger and more influential industry that makes money selling indignation, contempt, and outrage; none of which do anything to address real problems.
When you’ve gone out on several dates, you’ve kissed, she’s invited you to her home, and you’re now sitting on the couch with her, more often than not, the girl will expect the guy to take the initiative. By that time, asking her if you can touch her is a major downer for her. You’re expected to try something. If she didn’t want to fool around, you wouldn’t be there.

That’s the context of the quotes, and in the book, it is prefaced by an instruction to stop immediately if she indicates you to do so.

Barnes and Noble not selling every book though has less to do with the content of any particular book and more to do with its overall sales figures, I imagine. Not stocking the Kama Sutra because it's offensive is a problem (which is probably best suited to Davis Kidd booksellers); not stocking the Kama Sutra because it doesn't sell is a business decision.

I have no idea how YouTube manages their videos, so I can't comment on that.

Bitcoin is an extremely highly volatile 'asset' with nothing backing its value except optimism.

I can only guess that at this point whenever the market sees it increasing against the dollar the majority of the market immediately takes profit by transitioning to USD. Perhaps also most accepters of bitcoin use it as a USD proxy, so the price of say socks on whateveracceptsbitcoin.com isnt .05 bitcoins, but is whatever number of bitcoins equals $2.00 USD, and the bitcoins are immediately converted to dollars after the transaction is complete.

I think those ideas may explain what keeps bitcoin from exploding above its current correlation to USD, what keeps it from radically dipping, I have no clue.
