Cool. I was in the early stages of doing a userscript for gmail to do something like what you have here. All it does right now is filter out specific words/phrases I know I use too much, but I found some scripts that check for passive voice and "weasel words" that I want to incorporate.

This is definitely cool.

As someone who struggles with mental illness daily, I agree with the sentiment that the world should really treat this kind of disease with a lot more compassion and support, rather than a blaming and negative attitude. It really is a constant uphill battle, and the cards are stacked against us.

At the same time, at some level it really comes down to a personal choice to either keep fighting against it, or just give up. The nature of despair and depression can make it less appealing choose to keep fighting, but it's still a choice.

But that doesn't change the fact that people should be supportive and compassionate toward people struggling in these ways. It's never ever ever good or healthy or productive to condemn someone who's made some kind of mistake, because mistakes are usually the result of an internal struggle of some kind. Condemning or blaming someone only makes it harder for them to win the fight against whatever they're battling internally, and ultimately we just want everyone to win these internal fights.

Hm, but libertarians also believe in the right to free association. I'd say the morality of libertarianism is:

'political power should be viewed with greater skepticism than any other form of indirect power'

"Ahahahahaah! That's the same as not having laws!"

I'm nearly as far away from libertarian as one can be, but no - it's not the same as not having laws.

Example: Old (American) West-style "frontier justice" where a bunch of townspeople form a posse or a lynch mob or whatever to right some (real or perceived) wrong.

Your comment reads like this:

"It's rational for officers to arrest law-abiding citizens who are slightly annoying officers."

And I get that a lot of people believe that. But you're wrong. You're so, so wrong.

It saddens me that a lot of cops (like the one in this story) feel as you do, that it's fine for police to grossly abuse their powers.

In a rational world, the cop would no longer be a cop.

In this world, he probably could've raped the kid with a toilet plunger and still remained on the force.
This is not a stable success. The advantage of RHEL over other posix-y flavors is 1) cost, and 2) standardization of server build and software packaging.

Solaris / AIX / HP-UX still get plenty of mileage in the legacy application (Oracle!) space. It's going to take the enterprise longer to migrate to systems like CoreOS, but RHEL doesn't have the kind of automatic lock-in that some of these legacy systems have.

As far as I can tell, RH is focusing revenue growth strategies on things like OpenStack, and similar product suites, so the company will survive. But by the time RHEL 7 comes out, what's it going to offer anyone in the datacenter? The days of the monolithic distro are numbered.

>However, If I'm going to weigh the probabilities--4 cops spontaneously tackle a sober person for politely asking a question sounds a lot less likely than 4 cops tackle a belligerent drunk guy.

I know where you're coming from. It is hard to believe. I could hardly believe it when it happened to me (see my other thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7234781). I still have a hard time believing it.

But the simple fact is that it happens, and what really enables it is the fact that there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it. The police are incredibly well-protected from any sort of accountability. The will to reprimand has to come from the inside, and that is usually done silently, if it's done at all. Cops are big on loyalty.
In my experience: web programmers who are afraid of the inner workings of their own computers (or, of course, iOS programmers and hardcore Mac programmers.)

Virtually every web programmer I know uses a MacBook Pro with OS X, but I only know a total of maybe 2 or 3 non-web programmers that do (not counting the 2 or 3 that shoved a Free/OSS unix onto one.) None of them have an OS X MBP as their sole laptop.

As a flexible computer-user, I'm frequently called upon to figure out what's wrong with coworkers' Macs. I've never owned a Mac, yet I'm their best hope. That says it all, I think.
These redesigns are always nice to look at, but there are usually a lot of functional considerations they ignore.
He assumed you were a gang member and the shooting was gang related. Which probably isn't a bad heuristic. Most of the time when gangs shoot up a rival gang members car, they don't accidentally get the wrong one.
I've been having conversations on this topic recently with a libertarian who grew up in the Soviet Union. Let's just say, when you've seen laws and law enforcers monopolized by villains, it becomes quite hard to accept that justice is whatever the government and courts say it should be.

While I personally like law and order, when the choice is mob justice or a police state, there are some definite advantages to mob justice.
Oh, I think the libertarians want something like the old posses that once went around stringing-up cattle thieves, so they would do something to the thieves if they caught them - unless fear of the state prevented this (why they think the state is unjust).

Not that there aren't multitudes of other problems in their schemes.
All of this is some sort of thinly veiled attack on our public servants and what seems to be public government infrastructure in general.

I'm all for calling bullshit on general unfounded anti-government rhetoric in general. But law enforcement are not your friends. They're trained that the citizen is an untrustworthy crook, why should we treat them any better?

You can make the same argument without being an ass about it.
Did you even read my post?

I'm saying, we hear about X bad cops.

There may indeed by Y good cops. I am not making any claim about the existence or non-existence of Y good cops (in fact, I've interacted with good cops, so if I was to make any claim at all, it's simply that they exist, and the effects they have on bad cops are unknown).

These Y good cops are either doing nothing to stop bad cops (and thus are ineffective at stopping bad cops; this may be simply because they are in different departments, and/or unaware of it if it's happening within the same one, and/or they may be powerless to stop it, etc etc), or they are effective at stopping Z bad cops (for a total number of X + Z bad cops, since X are still not being stopped).

Either of these situations is terrible, because either the good cops are not stopping bad cops from being bad, or they are, but there are enough bad cops that the good cops are unable to stop them all (and thus the numbers of bad cops are even higher than we hear about).

I'm not sure how else I can put that for you.

no, libertarians don't necessarily believe that justice is attained through the market, but that market allocation of resources is more just than political allocation of resources.

"everyone is greedy" is not a good characterization of libertarianism; there are plenty of libertarian social benefit groups; a good example that ties into the OP is "sean's outpost" which is a bitcoin-based organization providing for the homeless in Pensacola and running up against a lot of adversarial actions by the state. Libertarian and libertarian-leaning groups (such as the Institute for Justice) regularly advocate against the state shutting down private social benefit groups helping the less fortunate.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Seans-Outpost/380918045363634

libertarians sometimes espouse the "everyone likes to be efficient" pro-market argument, but there are libertarians (like myself) that find that to be weak in the light of indivdiuals being irrational.

the core libertarian philosophy though really takes the "markets are moral because they are voluntary transactions" argument.
Don't we already have reddit to commiserate about injustice? Honest question - just not sure why this is a good fit for hacker news.
Sure, but the processes that make banking secure mostly rely on human interaction, insurance and centralisation, which are obviously difficult or impossible to apply to Bitcoin. The current batch of Bitcoin businesses are getting hard lessons in information security, whereas the mainline banking system can compensate for any deficiencies in their software with more traditional security processes.

To me, one of the more interesting results of Bitcoin is how critical information security is to the businesses that deal in it, and how a flaw in their security can make companies vanish overnight. It really provides some darwinian pressure to get security right!

Certainly that qualifies as saying "something" about the content of the site.

Well, in some locations you might be able to buy 'protection' from a number of different organised crime groups. While it's not exactly a historic precedent, the Millet system also had some similiarities.

One possibility is mob rule in the absence of a strong central government - frontier justice, lynch mobs, posses, warlords, the whole thing.

Think about how exciting that would be! I, for one, look forward to this possible Mad Max-style libertarian future... I mean who doesn't like improvised body armor with lots of spikes and things?
If you start with GPL stuff (and in my experience most of the really good open source software is GPL), it's very difficult to sell the resulting proprietary product, as you must provide the source on request and you cannot prevent it from being shared; thus, anyone can build it themselves (some projects I've seen that use this model deliberately make their build process tricky, I suppose to encourage sales-by-laziness - Apple is the king of this with their essentially-unbuildable releases of Darwin).

No, I rather think the best model is the one where software is treated like a public resource; the knowledge commons. A lot more companies are interested in using software internally than in selling it, and many will already have in-house software developers to build their business-specific systems. It makes a lot of sense for companies to pool their resources on common software problems that they all need to be solved and aren't their core focus.

In a sense, your "base of the pyramid" is something of a special case for this model. Basecamp is software-as-a-service, and Ruby on Rails is utility software designed for the express purpose of creating software-as-a-services. It's to be expected that, as free software gains momentum, the first companies to benefit will be the ones that build applications that need to run on reliable, non-locked-in stacks, because a reliable, non-locked in stack is the first thing that free software needed to build. In the long term, though, I hope that really substantial "user-facing" software gains enough critical mass to become the de-facto standard - for example, Blender or GIMP. In such a scenario, any business that needed an off-the-shelf 3D editor or image editor but also developed in-house software (for example, Pixar) would find it in their interest to patch bugs and generally improve the software that they use, even though they don't sell it.
I'd say that the ones where you think it might not be serious are precisely the ones you should definitely be recording: you might not treat it with the same gravity, especially when you feel that you've done nothing wrong or that the most likely outcome is a ticket or scolding.

I am giving you an example (present, and historical) of multiple legal systems coexisting, where predators and ordinary people can shop around for the legal system that best fits their needs and desires.

Whether that does or does not have anything to do with libertarianism, you can decide.

Perhaps the most famous examples of legal systems exceeding traditional spatial and temporal bounds can be found in the aftermath of WWII. Adolf Eichmann for example was kidnapped in Argentina by Mossad agents and smuggled out of the country. This could be considered, in effect, a violation of of the Argentinian legal system's monopoly on law and order within the borders of Argentina.

Does that have anything to do with libertarianism? I don't know; I don't really care. It's just an interesting example of monopolies on laws and law enforcement not being hard and fast. History is full of such examples.

You're reading "justice" here to be synonymous with government action. "Whatever means" = their "community" doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals, period.

My First Original Arduino Project
That actually alludes to something I noticed recently: Libertarians tend to come from countries with shitty governments, which makes sense. You're likely to be far more suspicious of the idea of government regulation if your government has a history of incompetence and malice than if you come from a country whose government, while imperfect, mostly just works.

I was about to suggest much the same thing. Instead of offering a month trial by default, only offer it when enterprise customers ask about billing. Then you can use it as leverage, in the "Here! I'm giving you something!" sense, rather than it just being an assumed perk. You've thus generated goodwill and can follow up the trial with an offer for a bulk 12-24 month deal.

You can still offer free trials by default to lower tiered customers, eg. consumers, small businesses etc. But they aren't the ones that you need to worry about 10%+ discounts on. Becuase they're so low billing that the rarity of the pre-trial discount will render the overall cost negligible.

Well, now you're talking in the abstract. Before you were explicitly calling it reasonable on some level in this particular situation. That's what struck me.
Sounds like Defcon got the excuse he needed to line his pockets with all of the Silk Road 2 money.

I don't run a marketplace, but I would assume that an alarm protocol would be implemented and triggered when thousands of bitcoins start to drain out of "hot storage".

Exploiting the transaction malleability bug wouldn't net you 4,500 BTC at once. It would take a lot of requests of broken transactions to drain the entire marketplace of thousands of BTC. Defcon and SR2 should have been on high alert for this kind of problem after the Mt. Gox announcement.

Anyone who runs a Bitcoin marketplace would not be "slow to respond and skeptical of the issue at hand", especially not when the entire balance of the marketplace is in such a vulnerable state.

Defcon has been around this business for years, he isn't an amateur. How could he make such a fundamental, incredibly ignorant error?

Even if we believe the "bad luck, terrible timing" explanation, Defcon's lack of caution and general awareness is simply inexplicable. There is no way he would be so nonchalant about any kind of fault in the Bitcoin protocol with everyone's money sitting out in the open, just waiting to be stolen.

I think the moral of this story is to not open an account with an anonymous exchange. Instead, open an account with a marketplace backed by some high-profile VC's who have some skin in the game. You can bet that Andreesen isn't going to be careless and ignorant enough to let the same thing happen to Coinbase. Not when he's got $25m and his invaluable image on the line.
We can both blame the author for not shutting up and the police for not responding reasonably to someone who was nothing more dangerous than a smartass.

Anyway, I guess the point is that Libertarianism has some different views but the main takeaway is about having more choices and a more lightweight state.
