Yeah, there have been some discussions of that, but nobody has put together a MediaWiki plugin to do it afaik. Better annotation of regions in general is a longstanding wishlist, so discussions or even citations (or requests for citations) could be attached to a region of text. But then there are problems like how to handle annotations and arbitrary editing/splitting/moving of regions.

As a low-tech solution, you can actually put HTML comments in the source code, which people occasionally do, but it doesn't seem to be a very well-known option. <!-- Do NOT change birth date to XX/XX/XXXX, see talk page --> kind of things sometimes appear in the source. I haven't seen them used for longer discussions, though, just one-line "hey, watch out before you do X" things.

On contentious articles with a long history of debate people will sometimes write a summary on the talk page, so you don't have to read through the whole history of the discussion. On most articles, though, the talk page isn't huge, so I find it easy to glance at before making changes.
I believe one additional way to mitigate Risk #2 "Broken Authentication and Session Management" should become best practice:

You probably have the luxury of living a life where racism is not readily visible. Not everyone does, and minority focused groups help, among many other things, bring attention to these problems that have more and more impact the further down the income scale you go.
You are explaining it a bit wrong. C# provides delegates (Action, Func etc.), lambda expressions, expression trees, anonymous functions, anonymous types, extensions methods. Those features make it a functional language and make succinct monads possible. LINQ happens to be one of those monads, but you can implement yours (e.g. rename Select to map etc.).
This has been my experience as well. I went to a small liberal arts college for undergrad. My teachers there did very little research, but all taught their small classes by themselves with no TA.

My particular field (music) tends to be much more expensive per student since private lessons must be taught one-on-one. One physics professor could teach 15 students for three hours a week, but a piano professor needs essentially needs 15 hours to teach each of those students for one hour a week. Some of this work can be done in small groups/classes, but higher music education is much more individual.

Some of my colleagues who have graduated now teach at liberal arts schools where their tenure requirement is essentially one presentation at a regional conference or one publication, with a strong record of teaching. Compare this to a large institution, where the expectation has traditionally been that you need a book deal in order to obtain tenure, whether or not you're much good as a teacher of undergraduates.
I don't care about the geopolitical implications of a group like this. I don't care what message it sends to other groups. All I care about is that it help those girls who attend the event. Why? Because I know movements like this can work.

As a black kid growing up I had no tech role models to look up to.It starts to get in your head that you can't possibly have a career in tech because you see no one that looks like you. It is similar to a popular joke in black neighborhoods for decades about "ain't no way you will see a black president" or "they will shoot him the first day he is elected". If you're not exposed to it, even if it is really out there, then you will tend to doubt if you can do it. It wasn't until I was older that I learned about minorities in tech. I was exposed to the internet at 18 and from then on split my time between working security in the clubs, going to college for business management and learning how to code at night when the clubs let out.

Exposure to possibility is very important part of development. So as long as these girls are getting that exposure and it helps them achieve their dream I will worry about the ramifications later.
Show HN:Create Your Own Dictionary: SelfDiction.co
Hello everybody,

I made a new side project: SelfDiction --> www.selfdiction.co

SelfDiction.co is build for make easy learning new word in foreign language especially in English.

For now, only you can create your own dictioanry, I work on new features to do remember word you add and make easy to learn it.

What do you think of my app? How you learn new word and what I should do for this app?

Thanks for all.
Divorce is bad for WOMEN??
Divorce is a disaster for men both emotionally and financially. Even prenuptial agreements are largely useless as they are normally overturned by the court system. A serious consideration (and study) of the chances of divorce and the normal outcome of divorce would have any man reconsidering (assuming he is thinking rationally rather than emotionally).

>However, when resentful women say "these men are assholes", that is taken at face value: it's obvious that these men are indeed assholes, and that these women are being wronged. On the other hand, resentful men are called misogynists and brutes, and what they really think ("these women are sluts") is considered unfit for print.

Of course it's unfit for print. Those men are looking to date around, aren't they? They're looking to slut it up, so they've got no right whatsoever to look down on someone for doing or having done the same damn thing.

I think a better way to view these types of groups (and why they are so specialized) may be to view them as support groups almost entirely focused on pragmatic results and functional improvements (as opposed to psychological ones). Restricting them by defining characteristics encourages people defined by those same characteristics to participate when otherwise they might not.

The entire second paragraph addresses the internal security beyond the SSL protection used in transit. But yes, in effect, SSL is the only thing protecting the user's password on the wire and this password is what is used to generate the master key for the encrypting the messages server side.
They seem to have removed their crunchbase profile already. Pretty sure they used to have one. The amount of shut downs lately seems slightly higher than usual, feels like we are entering a slight shedding phase.
I tend to agree that its a cultural issue and the values that culture champions, not an explicitly racial issue. There's no law of nature keeping black females from coding, but the values traditionally promoted by the culture black females tend to identify with doesn't include coding, which Kimberly Bryant is trying to change. If they actively kept non-black females who identify with this culture from joining, I would feel a bit more concerned that it's heading down the wrong path. According to the Eventbrite link, no such requisites are stated, only that the program is intended for females aged 7-17.

No, he wasn't "wrong". Shaking a mixed drink does alter the texture; it does incorporate air, and it does incorporate more tiny ice chips. And that quote doesn't hold temperature constant. You can trade strength for coldness and vice versa.

But, if you have a target temperature, and you're using ice to cool a drink down to it, then the idea that you should stir instead of shake to reach that temperature is misguided.
An earthquake can cause a tsunami. Depending on conditions, the tsunami wave could be hundreds of feet high. So, not earthquake "proof."

the parent comment, who is 'rabidly attacking' the group in the article who are 'challenging the status quo when it comes to sociological issues'

The group in the article are doing no such thing. My reading of the current societal status quo is that being discriminatory acceptable as long as you are a member of a protected class doing it for altruistic reasons.

There is a 180% tax on cars in Denmark which is a pretty major disincentive for driving a vehicle.

True, but Danes buy cars nonetheless (especially if they have kids). It's fairly typical to only have one car per family, though.

I have a friend who bought a used VW Passat wagon (5 or 6 years old) in Denmark for $90,000 USD.

A used Passat from 2008 will cost you roughly $30,000 USD [1]. Expensive, I know, but nowhere near $90,000.

I think you have an interesting point about recognition for your work. It seems to me that Wikipedia's back end is ferociously clunky and outdated, there is no easy way to show all contributions made by a specific user, for example. If you compare this to a system like GitHub or one like StackOverflow, the deficiencies are obvious. Us programmers can easily point to our contributions to open source projects or our general knowledge through pointing at our profiles on those sites. A software overhaul to make Wikipedia more social, easier to edit would also go a long way.
Tip : An Open Source Approach to Two Factor Authentication
Hello,

Recently we launched an Open Source Project ( Code named 'mOTP' ) Which particularly acts as an Open Source Alterantive to SMS Based one time passwords, used in Two Factor Authentication.

I would like you to have a demo of it. Its definitely going to be a industry changing solution and the USPs of the platform are,
1. Its Open
2. Its a Single API for global phone verifications
3. It eliminates any and every cost involved in OTP sending

Project Page: http://mOTP.in

Thanks,
Rahul
I hope they fit it with sub-surface portholes and webcams.

The article keeps saying "huge", but really that's tiny for a ship. Google could buy an old cruise liner and fit several of those inside. Or maybe Google is going to buy more little ships and plonk one of these in each?

I hope that they have adequate security, because all that gold and copper is worth stealing for some people.

Specificity, mainly. Specific action you can take right now, versus generic platitudes that apply at a very general level.
Does it store data serialized or in object form? I am not sure how JS reacts to a few millions objects.
No, you mapreduce the Pirate search. Send out 100 workers to check on the nearby ports and see which ones come back.

You need to think at Google scale.
I totally second this.

Customizable "meals" based on your activity level, age, and weight goals (among other factors) should be a goal for the Soylent team down the road.
And of course it can be made immutable using this:

C# is mutable-first but well capable of providing immutability (requires good developers but so does Scala/F# :p).
> Second, where does gender lie—is it a physical characteristic

Yes. Your genitals, height, the shape of your pelvis, the amount of various hormones in your system and the ratio of white/grey matter in your brain are primarily determined by whether you have one X chromosome or two. This is what gender is. All other definitions are pseudo science.

In order to evaluate heterosexual relationships, we should evaluate the groups involved. It is not unethical to do so. This doesn't mean we ignore individuals, which would be unethical, those things are logically not related.
In the case of changing licenses, make sure over the course of your project maintainorship that you have the right to relicense all the code, including patches/contributions from others.

I wish it was simply licensed MIT or BSD, but congratulations on your software and sticking to your convictions.

It's certainly possible that you are correct. But isn't the over performance of the US economy compared to Western Europe (where they have made the kind of tradeoff you propose) evidence to the contrary?
I'm pretty sure "cold" and "snow" have very similar properties around the world.

With movable data centers, Google can easily move them across oceans, as popularity and usage of different Google services inevitably shifts across countries over time, in order to be closer to wherever their users are to reduce network latency.

For example an "Orkut data center" would have been very useful to Google in 2008, when they announced they were moving its operations to Brazil because somewhat unpredictably this is where their core user base developed the most: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut

I'd just make a remark that even in the GPL world everything is not as simple as it looks. There are GPL versions with _exceptions_ endorsed by RMS, for example. A long time ago I used to work on a Hobbit scheme compiler for the scm interpreter, which was promoted by RMS and became Guile later. scm had such a GPL-with-exceptions clause by RMS, which was stated clearly incorrectly. I take every chance to boast that I convinced RMS to fix the error in his own GPL version for scm :)

ASP.NET MVC is an open source framework, sure, but the .NET platform, as such, is not OSS. (Some parts of the MS .NET ecosystem are open source, and there are open source alternative implementations for some parts, but that doesn't make the platform OSS.)

I noticed that too because I was trying to figure out who bought them (Sales Force) on Crunchbase. Entrepreneurs aren't building sustainable ideas. I think this tightly correlates to the series A crunch.
And your contributions can be even more easily ignored when they're made on Talk pages. If you provide useful information or links, you can expect it to be ignored. I ran a little experiment http://www.gwern.net/In%20Defense%20Of%20Inclusionism#sins-o... where I provided high-quality RSs/ELs, and the uptake rate after a period of years ranged from 3-8%.

Perhaps the problem is believing that using SSL exactly as designed is the right solution. Somehow tarsnap manages to keep my data safe without relying solely on SSL.
I won't go into what's right and what's wrong or what the solution should be. I myself am often skeptical about the purpose of a lot of racial discussion, but I don't see anything terrible about black girls trying to come together and code. I won't ignore the basic human psychology that you will gravitate toward people you feel you have more in common with.

> Is that something to be encouraged or discouraged?

I think you're reading way too much into what I'm saying. I'm just stating how I think it is. Whether you like it or not, when a homogeneous group gains power anywhere, people will be suspicious, just like if a company was run solely by Republicans, the Smith family, or black people.

> People of the same race have the same upbringing? What am I even reading?

Fine, I'll be more specific, under-privileged African-Americans, 2nd generation Latinos, Southern rural white people tend to have have similar upbringings with regard to family, income, culture, and education.

> Are we as a society supposed to indulge that feeling? > Pampering that feeling creates more racial fracturing than it fixes.

I'm not offering any solutions. But for the topic at hand, when black girls come together to code, that's not saying they shouldn't hangout with white people. You're implying a false conflict. That wouldn't be the case with something like affirmative action or racial quotas which does cause conflicts.

Ask HN: I have a list of 20 potential customers. How to reach out to them?
My idea is very niche focussed and related to my current field. I know quite a few people in the field already. So I have this list of about 20 people that I want to start a discussion with. How would you go about it ? Should I just use something like survey monkey ? personalized email ? custom form ? phone call and ask questions ?
The idea is so innocuous. Nobody is being hurt by it. Maybe some people will be helped. It doesn't prevent anyone else from being helped the same way. There's no real use stirring up a shitstorm about it.

Some political zealots are ruining nice things for the rest of us because all they care about is their own ideology.
HTML5 already has too many frameworks, it's not like that's the solution unless those frameworks expose new APIs that ameliorate the use of javascript, e.g. access to SIMD, to JITing code, to a full network stack instead of (at best) restricted HTTP, SPDY, and WebSockets.

That might be something very difficult to rationalize away. Being an active cyclist is to be cognizant of the risks and minimize those risks (i.e. ride assertively on safe streets, use lights, etc.), while also utilizing a little cognitive dissonance.

I ride between 5,000-10,000 miles a year. I've had several crashes due to my own fault or other cyclists' faults in races. I've also been hit once and suffered a very minor broken wrist that healed in three weeks. I am pretty lucky.

Some of my friends have been in crashes with cars and they are all fine. It was scary at the moment and they got hurt, with some injuries such as a broken collarbones, but they're all still riding and healthy today.

Of course, they all LOVE riding bikes. If you don't love to ride bikes, it's tough to "get on that horse after it bucks you off," so to speak.
Watch the video. Seriously, it's hilarious in an incredibly macabre way.
Tsunamis are not giant walls of water like what you see in disaster movies. They're more like an unending tide: the water just keeps rising until it floods the area. Anything floating loose on the water at the time is at risk of being carried inland, but is unlikely to be completely destroyed.

A floating data center barge anchored a mile offshore is as close as you can get to tsunami-proof. At worst, its connection to the mainland would be severed if the tsunami destroyed the local land-based telecom infrastructure. Any data located on the barge would still be intact until communications could be restored.
