Sometimes I think HN has a 2-post memory or something.

To remind you, I originally responded to a poster who claimed to "finally understand" feminism when a teacher said, in response to "why can't there be men's organizations", that "every other organization is a men's organization".

I'm reacting to that specific kind of feminism, which prohibits addressing men's issues on the assumption that all men are already taken care of by some mythical "men's club". This obviously isn't representative of all feminisms, but it's a pretty common viewpoint here on HN, and it's often accepted uncritically. Note I qualified my talk of feminisms in the previous post with "much of feminism says X", deliberately avoiding saying "feminism says X".

It is not wrong for a women's movement to pursue women's issues. It is wrong for a women's movement to pursue women's issues exclusively while lying that it also addresses men's issues, subsequently advocating the prohibition of groups that address men's issues.

There are streams of feminism that are orthogonal to addressing the needs of men. And I'm addressing those streams specifically. People who say things like "you can't have men's organizations because every other organization is a men's organization" are contributing to these streams.
With no or lax moderation, there's always the danger of becoming Reddit.

People come to StackOverflow because it has a good signal-to-noise ratio. Maintaining this ratio, and the reputation of the site as a resource rather than a discussion board is important.

I personally jump to StackOverflow results on Google pages because they almost always solve my problem exactly. If the results start being polluted by a bunch of less relevant discussions--which, being popular, are likely to rank well--I would probably stop using SO results as much.

On top of this, just leaving a question like this open hurts the question itself as well. There is no reason to want 100 different answers all pointing out the missing space in different words! That way lies madness and Quora--where many answers to popular "survey" questions only get read because of the follow feature and a Facebook-esque machine-learning-based feed.
The moment where I felt my brain slowing down to parse things was rough. I knew I wasn't going as quickly but I felt like I couldn't do anything to speed up again. Very fascinating how that stuff works subconsciously.
Actually, you're exactly why this conference is necessary
Feminists are probably the #1 force for scaring away women from tech. If you say something is true enough times (All men might rape you! Programmers all hate women!), especially from a position of power and political influence, people will start to believe it. Encouraging and (in some cases, like donglegate) inducing both an atmosphere of fear and paranoia in and towards women is incredibly detrimental towards the general humanitarian goal of bettering society.

There are isolated instances of sexism, but women don't really have it hard at all in tech. I'd say the sex discrimination in favor of women ("affirmative action") massively outweighs any lingering discrimination against women.
It's 180 days (or 15,552,000 seconds) at the moment. I have it documented in the rating guide, but I should probably mention it somewhere in the report. I am not sure that's long enough, by the way. There are some important sites I visit only once in a long while, and I would prefer to be protected on every visit.

For your needs (HSTS preloading), a shorter value is probably fine.
New Truths That Only One Can See
I agree. The few domains I have there, I'm really happy about. I love how it really focuses on domains first.

However, with the email service, google apps, and web forwarding, I'm a little concerned they'll start up-selling ssl, hosting, seo, website builders, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I think it would be hard NOT to do this as a domain registrar given how it probably feels like you're just leaving money on the table by not selling all these other related services.

50 cents to send a piece of paper across the continent in just a couple of days is a bargain as far as I'm concerned. A dollar will even get your piece of paper across the world in just a few more days than that.

It's quite unbelievable that it works so well for such a cheap price.

From a previous comment I made,

"It's attempting to do successful intervention & marketing, essentially, by focusing on a specific demographic. As we all should know, focusing on a specific demographic is a fine way to produce a product targeted to that demographic's needs. Young black women have different pain points in tech than Zuckalikes or male first-born children of Chinese immigrants. It is obvious that other organizations with mainly white or male constituents are not effectively serving the market and it's no surprise that something better for this target group has come along."

Mini-story: I went to Caltech for undergrad. A "Men's Trip" started in my hovse in response to a women's dessert night or something. They had one men's-only weekend trip and realized they were bored without girls. The next "Men's Trip" was women-welcome. It was a lot of fun to go along, shoot guns, whip shitties in the desert, make Molotov cocktails out of a disputed load of boys underwear (the guys could not remember whose they were and neither wanted them). Great stuff. But I still found the women's dessert night valuable.
TrueCar has a price that they evaluate the car at, and they give you a slip of paper that you can go into any TrueCar dealership and buy that car from them at.

With this method, sometimes the car dealership sells a car for lower than they were hoping with the local market, and sometimes they make a killing off the customer.

CarWoo, on the other hand, asks each dealer individually what they want to sell the car at, and then forwards that price to the user.
Yes, I agree - the ruby project should always ship the most secure ruby possible, all the time.

Would you rather have a ruby-core of honest, hardworking developers who prefer to "delegate the task to other people" who are experts in security - because they admit their own weaknesses, or a ruby-core of arrogant developers who overstep their area of expertise just to try and deliver your "most secure ruby possible" - but more than likely worsening security?

It sounds to me like they're doing the most responsible thing they possibly can given the circumstances. If you or anyone else is in a position to do better, then by all means, step up and bless the ruby world with your supreme intellect.

admitting weakness + asking for help != dodging responsibility

I'm not really one of those who criticizes SO that much. They can do what they want on their own website.

I'm just perplexed by the trend over all, especially with Wikipedia, for people to act like the internet is a library and shelf space is running out. Why would a site owner limit their user's contributions in any way except to conform to the law, and prevent trolling, spam, etc? Who knows how much value the next answer might have provided readers if they hadn't closed it down?
>Some believe it to be due to the damaging effects of medical experiments conducted on African Americans

Or an even simpler explanation: medical education is expensive and many blacks (and members of other races) are working class. So perhaps scholarships tailored towards the economically disadvantaged, rather than any specific race, would address the disparity.

GoDaddy's the only registar I know of with a history of transferring domains to authorities merely by their request, without a court order requiring them to do so. On top of trying to sell out the web as a whole (helping to draft SOPA and having themselves written in as the recipient of seized domains), GoDaddy's not a company I would recommend doing business with.

I can understand and appreciate where you're coming from.
You have robust Forward Secrecy, so nothing to worry about. (I use the term "robust" to mean that you support both ECDHE and DHE suites, providing Forward Security to a wide range of clients)

Before, there used to be a note at the top when a site supported Forward Secrecy, but the score was not affected. With this update, there's a slight penalty if Forward Secrecy is not supported. The errors and warnings now appear only when they affect the score.
I think you mean forthcoming. I think he was initially fairly straightforward (forthright) about saying he didn't want to state his position (not being forthcoming).

It's a pedantic point, but there are implications about the character of the person you're talking about.

I have a goal to donate at least 10% of what I earn to charity. The form varies -- sometimes writing a check to an organization, sometimes handing out cash or 'gifts' to the actual people who need them.

I prefer to try and donate locally if possible. Yes, there are a lot of global opportunities to help, but I prefer trying to make a small difference where I live.

I actually get a great deal of joy from giving money/stuff away.

WHY is the DHS acting as a goon squad for the MPAA?

Because ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is one of the Federal agencies directly tasked with copyrights enforcement, and ICE is part of DHS. That is: it's their job.

(Note: not saying I agree with it, but as it stands, that's how things work.)
These are good suggestions, Walter. Let me add a couple more.

Always think of your language as a compiled language even if you start out just writing an interpreter. Otherwise you are likely to add features that are very difficult to compile efficiently.

If you're trying to design a language for accessibility -- ease of use by relatively inexperienced programmers -- be aware of the tradeoffs. For example, weak typing, such as automatic conversions between strings and integers, is commonly thought to make life easier for novices, but it can make it much harder to build large reliable systems -- and if your language is successful, it will wind up being used for large systems, regardless of its suitability for that purpose. Conversions from strings and integers to booleans have been a particular problem area. Make sure that comparison operators are transitive and equality is an equivalence relation -- and if you don't know what those terms mean, you need to study programming language design before you attempt it yourself.

This headline is wrong. Beats, which went live today, is not shutting down. Rather, it is going to shutdown MOG, a company it acquired.
Interesting, and makes sense. Why would you need the full BFT Paxos among trusted participants?

Still, the claim that Bitcoin represents "a breakthrough in computer science" on the Byzantine Generals Problem rings false to me. First, we already had BFT algorithms, just no compelling need for them. Second, if this is really a computer science breakthrough, where's the proof?

Don't get me wrong, I think Bitcoin is an enormous breakthrough in engineering terms. It's just too important now to not have the proven properties we're relying on.

>All that barrel does is stop counterfeiters and tax evaders. Neither of those things are "intrinsic value".

If anything can be said to have 'intrinsic value', being free from prosecution is surely one of those things. Dollars can buy you freedom from prosecution for non-payment of taxes. That's a lot closer to 'intrinsic value' than anything bitcoin can put up.

As a firm believer that overpopulation won't be solved by throwing money at it, and that the people who are having children are the ones who shouldn't, I see most of this as irrelevant. Of course money solves poverty in the short term, no one should be surprised by that. But notice how he keeps comparing one generation with only the previous, and never making long-term assertions.

Besides, I doubt Gates can go from the CEO of Bad Guys Corp. (among the companies with the most evil business practices in history, up there with Nestle) to Superman just because he has always been a modern Robin Hood, establishing an OS monopoly to give our money to the poorest. I'd expect some public guilt or something. I'll keep taking whatever his foul mouth says with an enormous grain of salt until he explains his post-MS enlightenment and endorses Linux.
At least they are being honest I suppose. If you want a secure language and ecosystem - don't use Ruby.

You're still confusing the burden to pay taxes under the penalty of law in one particular country with value.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "value" means.

> That company doesn't pay the US government in bitcoin.

But I don't care. I paid in Bitcoin.

> That's where the backing comes from

I doubt dollar "intrinsic value" comes from the fact that you have to pay taxes in it. It can spiral into a 10000%/year inflation and lose most of its value, and you will still be able to pay taxes with it.

In fact, you've been required to pay US taxes in dollars for the last 100 years. It didn't stop the dollar from losing 97% of its value.

Again, you're confusing value with some criminal law.

> I'm sure the people that hire them to transport goods value what's being transported.

What? You can't transport something that has no value? Like an empty box?

> Freedom from prosecution is pretty important to the people in the US that owe taxes to the US government

Ah, red herring. I was talking about "majority of the world", and you switched back to the Americans, as if that somehow proves that most of the world doesn't give a crap about US criminal codes, which, according to you, somehow back the value of the dollar.

> Ease of transportation is a feature of bitcoin

Which adds to its value, like features of... everything.

Trying to play with words will get you nowhere.

> But ease of transportation does not itself give anything value

We already went over this. Multibillion transportation industry.
I'm still trying to not argue from a position of religion. But I feel that I'm at least obligated to say that this quote is not one of my arguments.
"That speculative credit default swaps were also backed by established laws of math and economics"?
The plural of your anecdote is not data that contradict the Gates' assertions. What is meant by 'population larger than the land can support'? The requirement 'land can support' is valid for communities which rely on subsistence farming. But the very fact that your caravan went there with food means that they have other sources than just 'land'. Now, if in a few years, when their population has critical mass, it becomes commercially feasible for a company to truck food there and sell it, then the problem is solved. So your anecdote, or even a systematic study of just subsistence-farming communities cannot be used to contradict the Gates' association.
What an incredibly rude and condescending thing to say.
I'm Canadian, I fully admit that I don't know how your legislation works in its entirety, but after giving it a quick read I have to ask: Illegal under which Title?
I was thinking the same thing. If you want to impose costs on people who send you emails, you can just strip out the proof of work component of bitcoin (which indeed predated it), and use that as a challenge/response system.
Looking forward to going once you organize it and pay for it. Make sure to post your amazing speaker lineup on HN, it's pretty hard to get people to go to conferences that are predominantly attended by men.

How would you handle this case if the work you're doing that's being stored on private GitHub repositories wasn't on GitHub at all (like the majority of tech work that employees do for their employer)?
To answer your question first: depends what you mean by "encourage". If it implies some "positive discrimination", quotas, etc. then yes, I'd be against it.

Alas, I am afraid that is is already impossible to have rational discussion about anything involving race or gender. Race especially, but the gender is quickly reaching the same level of thought-stopping cliche. Say anything out of line with politcorrect white-knighty position and you will be labeled racist or sexist, and quite often by those who don't even know what those words really mean.

On the other hand, white population is seriously underrepresented in the NBA (only 17% of players are white). Don't you thinks something must be done, and soon?
I'd say that gold is infinitely divisible in practice, as much or moreso than bitcoin. There is what, a USD dollar or two worth of gold leaf in Goldschläger? You can trivially get down to flakes of gold worth fractions of pennies.

The only problem is the cost of division (making leaf is somewhat labor intensive, but not prohibitively so by any stretch).

The hard limit is $1e-20, according to wolfram alpha. IIRC bitcoin will only get you down to e-8.
High tuition is one reason, yes, but it isn't the entire story.

I'm addressing my wedding invitations and skimming through Hacker News this afternoon. $25 to mail about two dozen envelopes (invite plus stamped rsvp), and half a dozen more with international addresses or additional weight that I'm taking to the post office in half an hour. And that's the bare minimum I could get away with sending paper invites to, everyone else is getting evites. Then there's a round of rehearsal dinner invites and thank you notes going out in the next couple months...

Not to mention I have two packages to return, and a bunch of my wedding accessories shipped USPS. All this week, before I consider any business-related needs (another 6-7 envelopes).

Not a terrible service at all. Could be better, fairly cheap for what it is, and I wish I could pay to not get junk mail, but...not too bad. Definitely better than Ontrac ;)
