Let's flip that around. The key point would be "everyone's location ... No exceptions". Then you'd know if that abusive partner was approaching you (and call relevant authorities). The dealers would probably also be known without needing a witness. Of course, we'd also know who was sleeping with whom and when.

It's an interesting thought experiment to imagine such a world but for it to be viable, society would have to have very different views on a lot of things.

That struck me as crocodile tears -- the telling moment for me was when Garfield asked him if he'd post pictures of his own mother or sister, and he reacted as if the question were completely absurd.

I decided then that he was either stupid, sociopathic, or both. In any case, you can't be sincerely sorry about that sort of behavior, and still do it regularly for fun.
Except that Facebook posts are public and everyone can see the failed communication attempt. Or Facebook messaging which is no better than email/text messaging and demands a reply. I love snapchat for exactly this no reply needed nature
If finding a job isn't difficult for you, would you stay?

I wouldn't stay for a company that shows such contempt for its employees and such incompetent waste of everybody's time.
Range and mode won't save you from the quartet, and they're a red herring in any case (you'd need to add statistics until you go blue in the face).
It's not always women taking shots of themselves.

Long before she met me, my fiancee had an extremely abusive bf. He'd drug her then take pictures and videos of her. When she wanted to leave he threatened to release those pictures to her family. When she finally did (after he assaulted her and her parents), he kept his word.

I won't go into the profanities that accurately express my visceral emotions, but I think a law like this is long overdue. It's wrong that people who take pictures of themselves are being blackmailed to stay with those same pictures, but with the focus the media has on teenagers sexting inappropriately, I feel people forget there are others out there who had these materials taken against their will.
Because reddit and 4chan are representative of Snapchat users. Right? Right..?

Ask HN: Why no SV startup searches for non-developers/innovators?
I am rather curious why most of the hiring revolves around developers and no one actually searches for non-developers/innovators/good-hearted people that you can teach (as Elon Musk put it and almost no one follows his example).

While I am aware of our value as developers today, I don't understand the low demand for non-devs in US. I can't help but wonder what would happen if a new Steve Jobs would be born, would he have a chance in today's world? We all know he was an innovator but not even close to a developer.

Every month there's this "who's hiring" thread where you find all kind of jobs yet all of them are made for devs. And it's not one thread but almost all hiring discussions are completely avoiding/ignoring the other side which leads me to believe they are somehow psychologically extinct or shifted to another industry.

I personally believe the world can be changed by anyone from anywhere with or without an ivy league degree or super resumes. After all, change comes from unexpected places. Yet we are only exploiting a very small portion of this world's potential when it comes to people's ambition and abilities.
Is Sivers really suggesting that just because she was OK with him reading the diary, she would be OK with anyone reading it? That seems like a highly naive assumption.

And seriously, this is your entire project list? "Everything is listed..." As a programmer and someone who sees how other programmers work, I am not buying it.

Please don't lecture us on secrets with weak false examples. It comes off as disingenuous.

How I launched a business in 32 hours
This is mostly how i feel about it. With the addition that, there's a big difference between a friend asking to read your diary (who, we'll note, was not in the diary, as he pointed out) and a friend (or anybody) asking to distribute your diary to the public. I think that's the main thing most other people are commenting on as well. There are many levels of private and making something public is not the same as making it publicly accessible.
If you want to talk about personal responsibility, then maybe let's start with, "Don't upload intimate pictures given to you in a trusted context to the internet for revenge purposes". Doing that is neither prudent nor wise, and is also an asshole thing to do. If we can agree on that, I bet everything else will be gravy.

Your example about insurance companies is specious. They aren't trying to apportion blame; they're trying to find any grounds they can on which they can avoid paying out. I'm also pretty sure that leaving your car unlocked neither excuses its being stolen, nor mitigates the insurance carrier's obligation to make you whole, in the slightest.

>You own the rights to any photo you take, regardless of who is in it.

Are you sure? I remember reading about a bunch of lawsuits against people that had taken photos of iconic shapes (coke bottle, certain cars) and the maker of the iconic shape claimed copyright. (I can't find a link right now)
"Civil" disobedience? If they are truly this hated (and they seem to be), why hasn't anything been done? What's holding people back? Internet/TV addiction?
Definitely. But if you're not employable because your boob is exposed somewhere on the internet I would say that the current position of the line is pretty important to question.
As someone who has used OpenVZ for a long time, I'd have to disagree with the notion that containers are simply process groups with access restrictions. You have a distinct namespace for them (including networking), which really changes everything.
"Often attributed"...I like that hedge.
No one cares about other people's family drama. But if Valerie led a secret life as a private escort or ran a sex-cam operation from her bedroom to make ends meet, I doubt she would be OK with Derek reading about them.
I was in high school when I started CS (now a junior in college) and if there is one thing I would suggest is not to go for the internship this early.
Not only is he/she going to have to settle on an ok to subpar internship because of his/her age, but he/she is also going to never have more free time than now to create some kind of business on their own. In this time, I would experiment with different business ideas and try to start something awesome. Something that helps people solve problems.

I love CS, but I am the type that more than anything wants to build a company and help people. I understand if he/she is not the same way, but if I would have recommend not jumping into the workforce so immediately.

The day quickly approaches where I have to make a decision to either start my own thing or get a job somewhere. A job takes a majority of your time which would really put a damper on my dream. There are stories of people doing both, but if it happened all the time, it wouldn't be a story. I'm not using that as an excuse, I am using it to bring home the point to enjoy and take advantage of the time you currently have without responsibilities.

Bottom line is have fun. Experiment with different ideas. Try to make something cool that people want. There are more than enough resources to get started. Just do it.
I thought I had solved it, but I'm just getting a dead image.
I was under the impression that it had a large number of bots to try and create a fake network effect.

The idea itself though si good and I like the service.
Of course revenge porn is disgusting, but I think more people should stand up and make it clear that what makes it disgusting is not so much the nudity, but the lack of consent and the aggression/humiliation.

I could be mistaken, but even in Victorian times, I think many people felt that being bothered about showing ankle was dumb, but didn't stand up because, hell, "everyone seems to be disgusted by it, don't they?"

I still believe the media should start emphasizing how dumb it is to pester and punish people whose nude pictures got leaked instead of essentially saying, "ooh, careful with your nude pictures or they might end up on the internet!!!".
It also didn't mention OpenVZ by name. Honestly, ever since OpenVZ came out, I haven't felt like the case for using VServer was terribly strong.
It's adorable!

Basically you can use them just like you use your VM's. The main difference is you lose the ability to have different kernel's for each VM.
It got there by expressing a common sentiment.

The abused wouldn't be able to track their abuser's allies without knowing who they all were.
systemd-nspawn isn't recommended for production use. I can't tell you why that is, but if you search for it, you'll find a few places where Lennart Poettering recommends libvirt-lxc for deployment (which is completely unrelated to the other "LXC" project).

This means every service can benefit and there’s no need for the unnecessary abstraction

Of course you could run software on bare metal ;-) But containers are a nice way to ship whole projects including the dependencies. Especially if you deploy to lots of machines.
The cultural outcome of this someday is going to be that everyone has had their sex exposed somewhere, so it stops being a big deal. Like all sorts of other previously taboo topics. That day will be far better.
I don't know what to think of this comment. Does this mean we should not use C or C++ ?

Security does not necessarily always matter when you're programming something, it does when you make widely used libraries or application or drivers or an OS, which are done by experts and tightly reviewed, so the language is not an issue.

Sometime you'll need pure performance or very low power consumption, and there will be no concerns of security between there will absolutely no way to compromise it (no "vector").

Security is not a particular feature of any particular programming language anyways, every program, whatever the language, is subject to security concern, it's not a language concern.
That popehat link is a different person (from last year no less, and apparently no resolution a year later?)

Holy hell, this is some crazy advice.

If you have a sizable savings that you have been building for 5 or more years then the vast majority of your savings shouldn't be invested in any single asset.
C'mon. You're essentially accusing him of victim blaming, and you'd never do that if say someone suggested not giving out your social security number over email or using strong passwords for your bank web login.

Yes, we should find and prosecute people who do things like this. On top of that, it's reasonable to tell people to exercise prudence and caution. As long as the U.S. has a puritanical bent, and a sexist bent, as a woman it's giving a lot of power to a man to send him naked pictures of yourself. This is true, to a lesser degree, if you're a man as well (see Anthony Weiner).

Prosecuting the perpetrators and berating coworkers for their puritanical views won't undo the impact of their seeing photos of you with your breasts or penis exposed. This is just acknowledging reality.

Congratulations to ludovic and the other contributors! I wrote a few of the new packages in this release. The prospect of having not only an official GNU distribution but one built on such a solid package management platform is very exciting.

I recommend checking out some of the package definitions in the gnu/packages directory to see how elegant the DSL is. Here's a module that I wrote: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/...

Well, I get that it was extortion, and I completely agree that it's extortion... and that's exactly my complaint -- extortion has nothing to do with revenge porn.

From reading the Slate article, they mention the new "revenge porn law" specifically, and then list other charges. The contents of the site could have been anything -- credit card numbers, blackmail information, etc., etc., and the CA legislature would still have the exact same case that they have -- extortion.

I suppose I glommed onto your argument because I assumed (from your other post) that you'd been following it, but I think that the implications of a 'revenge porn' law didn't actually come into play here, which sort of makes whatever point I had -- that there's no purpose for it.

Whatever implications the first amendment has here, origination shouldn't play a part in it. If the images are obscene, that can be determined independently of how they were obtained or distributed. If they violate someone's personal copyright, that's an independent claim. If they violate local pornography statutes, that's again, a separate crime.

What it seems to me is that we've taken a number of things that were already illegal and drafted up a new set of feel-good measures that make them illegal under a different heading. Perhaps the net result is in sentencing, but that seems about as efficient to me as "hate" crime sentencing, where we'll end up with mandatory minimums and such.

Anyway, sorry for pestering, you just seemed to have more knowledge on the matter than the Slate article, and I thought you'd implied that there were free speech implications.
Nice straw-man there, Dan Ariely.
Protip: go back if the image doesn't render, otherwise you might be eaten by a grue.

"And her personal details being available online would be a more reasonable explanation for her job being in jeopardy?"

It was a more than reasonable explaination for why they felt physically unsafe. This isn't just about her damn job, they changed their locks.

If you could do this, it would be implemented by using LXC. I used to use an MAI OS that was based on Charles River Unix which used something like this. Instead of just executing /bin/sh on login, they started a chroot jail and ran /bin/sh inside that. To the user it did look a lot like a private machine. Only admin user accounts could see the whole system.

It would be trivial to do this with LXC too.
The law obviously isn't as simple as that. If I agree with an electrician that I will pay him or her to install a switch that we are both aware is unsafe and against building codes, that is still illegal.
Even without all the rapey regulatory conditions, the whole concept of these bills they're trying to pass are pretty important.

> That's because you're an average Joe.

And I think this article is written targeting the average Joe. Everyone is getting off on tangents about how the gov't is going to go fascist and that privacy is the best thing in the world.

He isn't arguing that privacy is inherently bad, or you should never ever have secrets. Yeah, if your trying to overthrow an fascist regime, it makes sense to have secrets. But again, that's a contrived reason. If you're MLK, that's not really the norm.

The point Mr.Sivers making is - generally people have more secrets than they really need and in the process they're making their lives more stressful. He's suggesting trying to re-evulate your need for privacy (I'm repeating myself).

It's just a call for some self reflection. Everyone needs to chill out a bit.
You seem to have changed what he said into a bizarre absolute. The point of Derek's post is that many of us unnecessarily keep many things secret for no rational reason at all. He's just suggesting that we ask ourselves, "Why is this secret?" Because a lot of the time, we're just needlessly building paper walls around our insecurities rather than keeping important secrets.

And given that Derek has code licensed under MIT, your conclusion that he was unaware of that license is obviously incorrect.
How could that compete with a UPS driver that drops the boxes off and goes to the next place? People don't all arrive home at different times, so a vehicle cannot choose to show up at any place at any time. While the vehicle is waiting for someone else to arrive, they could have already delivered to many more places. Even without paying a driver and a larger number of vehicles, the efficiency of delivery seems lower and the cost higher.

You are being just as unfair. The two technologies aren't competing as directly as some people seem to think. The biggest separating technological factor being the long range of Bluetooth LE vs NFC. The limited range of NFC means that only one and a half of the four examples used in the article would be possible. Bluetooth LE is closer to peer-to-peer WiFi than it is NFC.

The good of accredited investor laws far outweigh the bad.
People who don't have a lot of money are much more likely to not have good money management skills than people who are able to hold on to lots of money for long time periods.

Without accredited investor laws you would just pour tons and tons of dumb money into the system and the volume of scams would go way up.

This is not to say there are not rich people being conned, but when that happens it often does not bankrupt them because they are less likely to go all in on a single asset. Something people with poor money management skills want to do all the time.
Noone is saying Java is fine doing low level stuff like device drivers (IMHO wrong tool for the job, and C++ is wrong, too)
