Regardless of what the state thinks, unplanned pregnancies are the domain of heterosexual partnerships. In monogamous homosexual marriages, children come about intentionally or not at all (exceptions here only prove the rule).

Point being, the outcomes of straight marriages will inevitably include more children, so it's in the interest of the State to make sure sexually-active heterosexuals marry, marry well, and stay married. There may be other goals to consider, but I'm a bit surprised that biology and human nature haven't come up in this discussion yet, especially considering recent trends in the extramarital birth rate.
He's saying that morality is independent of context, and the idea of owning slaves was just as reprehensible in the past as it is today, it was merely more socially acceptable.

Much like Proposition 8 was, at the time.
Many stochastic methods get around the local optima problem with various techniques. The simplest one is just to pick another random place to start climbing.

I don't often say this, but.. this is genius. Congrats!

That said, is there no such thing as a Lightning-to-USB converter cable? You'd expect such devices to exist.
Yes; the timing of payouts is entirely up to you.
We're just getting started. Amazon Prime is not a social platform. Slide 5 is all about the web becoming social.
I have to ask. Why?
This is definitely one of those moral fashions [1] that Paul Graham wrote about:

"What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. Dressing oddly gets you laughed at. Violating moral fashions can get you fired, ostracized, imprisoned, or even killed."

Society has shifted on this issue, such that the traditional is considered unacceptable to hold; you're ostracized with negative labels should you hold the unfashionable position. This is precisely what TeamRarebit is doing to Brendan Eich: ostracizing him for his moral stance, one that has fallen out of fashion.

> Both Unity and Unreal have their engines running well

Running well? You'll know there are still tough problems next year. No one download 100 MB or 200 MB scripts and assets to play a game. In the past, all such resource rich Flash or Unity Web Player games have failed. No exception.

The relief is Mozilla people actually know this problem (I talked with them at GDC).

AAA games are just too rich to "browse" on the web. People close their browser windows within several seconds. Typical home internet bandwidth is narrower than Blu-ray or DVD-ROM, even in advanced countries. Furthermore, browser cache can't handle big resources. You won't even gain server costs.
The argument that since courts were wrong once we needn't consider anything any of them ever say is so absurd that I hope you're trolling here.
How is everyone being forced to take a stand? People who don't care don't have to do anything.
That would be welcome to hear, as a Mozilla user and someone who wants to trust the org to stand for inclusive, humanist values in Internet technology.
Indeed, that's the idea!

Docker is awesome for what it does (and I'm extremely happy that they are forcing the Linux containerization stuff to improve, because Sandstorm uses the same features), but to really make per-user (or, better yet, per-document) containerization work, we need to change the programming model a bit. Lots of stuff that every app does itself currently (authentication, sharing, OAuth) really needs to be pushed down into the platform, which is what Sandstorm is doing. And, of course, it needs a UI friendly enough for non-programmers.
Backdooring his employer's code would be directly related to his work, and illegal actions on his own time would make him unemployable if caught and convicted, because he'd go to prison. False equivalances, all.
Broken implies non-functional. It's broken, so it can't be used. The web isn't broken. Sure it can be made better, though.
Not sure how this is a direct action taken to alienate a community. Seems like they're alienating themselves just fine.
On the IPO:

Nice gross profit margin growth from 67% to 79%, but now we know where vc money went: sales & marketing.

Profitability seems very very very far away, and in my opinion Box is not a buy for the average Joe. It seems to me that revenues are extremely dependent on marketing, as per "50% of the net proceeds in sales and marketing activities". Now that we can hear cloud storage war drums from afar I don't see this expense item going down any time soon. This IPO isn't going to be cheap, at whatever valuation CS, MS and JP come up with.

On the VC/Tech industry's double standards:

Funny how an investors ask and drill down startups on their customer acquisition costs, customer lifetime value, user & customer numbers, etc. and none of that information is made available on the S-1, the document that should really be the "bible" for any investor. I guess the public market is going to get the short end of the stick again.
This statement "However, this particular subject is not one that is negotiable to us. We are personally affected by his actions." should make people very skittish about using Team Rarebit's code or services in production, specially if they ever make something that your app infrastructure is dependent on (like payment systems or APIs).

I understand that right now, it's some tiny app that doesn't affect too many people, which is fine. But imagine if tomorrow, Stripe or Balanced decided to stop certain conservative organizations from using their app. That would definitely be considered a suppression of personal expression and (imho) cause quite a backlash. As your organization grows, you have to be more and more careful about separating your personal and political views from those of your customers. I am glad that this company is not building anything that might be considered essential to startup infrastructure.

[Edit: To clarify a bit more, I'm trying to say that pulling an app from a store / suspending a service for reasons of personal disagreement is a disservice to the users of said app/service. Showcasing Brendan's role in donating against Prop 8 is perfectly fine.]

If you're a gay or lesbian employee of that company, I'd think it has a lot to do with it.
Read my post again. Who exactly did I slander, besides nameless partisans?
Hating, say, religious fundamentalists is exactly as bad as hating homosexuals - hate is hate; intolerance is intolerance.

You can say "I think that all people should be treated equally", but saying "I think that all people people should be treated equally, but those who believe X are unfit to be CEO for a public company" is hypocritical. No matter what X is, and if I agree or disagree with X.
You're mistaken. CloudFlare has mitigated many the largest DDoS attacks in history, including some that have exceeded 400Gbps. These recent extortion-based attacks are large, but they are typically 1/10th the volume of the largest attacks we see. For instance, Meetup has publicly stated that they used our network to stop a similar attack. Many of the other recent victims have used CloudFlare as well.

Because of the unique design of our network, I'm unaware of any other service that has as much capacity that can be utilized in aggregate to mitigate large-scale attacks.

Maybe the search space is limited in the first few minutes of the game when your opponent has also has a limited set of moves, but as the game goes on, the complexity increases exponentially. The 7 roach rush could be calculated here because the algorithm essentially completes when it reaches 7 roaches, but longer more complicated builds would be significantly harder -- like a 2-base blink all-in.
Mozilla products like Firefox and FirefoxOS are highly relevant. California Proposition 8 was dumped and as such has limited relevance.
No, there isn't. A CEO is an employee, just one that tends to get paid above average.
Good luck finding a browser where the ceo or vps behind it agree 100% with anyone's views.

Unless you can point out that his (asshole, imho) views affected how he worked for Mozilla, than doing what you are doing is as bad as people that fired or did not purchased from companies supporting gay rights.
A way out... For what? Standing up for his moral convictions?

OK, if you need to picky, something more comparable. Imagine he said: "black people are inferior to white people and don't deserve to be happy".
It would be even more compelling if it was packaged as a device, so that a layperson could plug it in, and log into it to install apps etc. An inverse-Steam box, if you will.
Yep Rackspace did little to nothing to help us but null routing.
25M registered users but I wonder how many of those are active? Box has been quite active with their promotions of free storage space, but the actual limitations on the service made this free space not very useful.
I've used Box extensively in the Enterprise and never really "got" it - it was cumbersome and often confusing. It just seems like another layer on top of what could be used as a first-party integration in something like Onedrive or Google Drive.

Perhaps where some of the "big" wins are its integration with other enterprise products like Salesforce, but we just didn't understand it because it felt like another layer on top of our office suite that wasn't necessary.
You're implying it was a trivial thing no-one should reasonably be paying much attention to. It appears that, when put the test, this opinion turned out to be incorrect.
You're applying a principle too broadly. Although the laws of physics don't change under a linear expansion of time, they are, for example, sensitive to linear expansion of velocities of missiles only: any non time-linear effect on the velocity is going to impact you -- for example, reynolds numbers for air depend non-linearly on the velocity which may be varying with time. Sure, if you multiply the whole system you would have that compensated by the increase in temperature and pressure which a faster time reference would observe, but it's not simulating the universe, just a limited set of variables.

Also, for obvious reasons of consistency and precision it would be better to keep a standard reference regardless.
Looks cool (like the Authy integration), but you might want to make the Guide a little more visible (https://derivabit.com/guide).

That was the first thing I was looking for.
I can't believe this absurdly tiny donation to a single organization, 6+ years ago, has produced so much anger. This seems pretty ridiculous to me, no matter what the organization.
Respectfully, all rights issues, including civil rights issues, are political issues.
When his "moral stance" directly affects your own quality of life and standing as a US citizen then it's probably more than just fashion, hm?
Indeed you understood me wrong but maybe I wasn't clear:

People who committed the genocide have already been judged by History (And obviously it is wrong). The people living now in Germany and Turkey have not committed a genocide. However the question I want to ask to the people living now is: would you do it again? Germany clearly answered no. While the Republic of Turkey is not providing an adequate answer to this because it denies having done it.

I understand that Turkey and the Ottoman Empire are two different things. The same is true of the Germany of 1940 and contemporary Germany.

"being a EU member doesn't require clean records". Obviously. Otherwise nobody would be a member of the EU. It is not the clean record but the acknowledgement that makes the difference which is all I was pointing out.
As the author of Sandstorm I'm biased, but this is my take:

OwnCloud is a great idea and has a lot of great features, but as a platform for "apps" it has some big limitations:

- AFAIK, there is no sandboxing. All apps can access all data, apps can "phone home" without permission, and one bad app can break your server. Under Sandstorm, each app instance runs in a separate sandbox and can only talk to other apps (or the internet) with permission.

- OwnCloud apps must be written in PHP, whereas Sandstorm can support any Linux-based tech stack.

That said, it would totally make sense to see OwnCloud as an app running inside Sandstorm.
I don't know what it is about gay marriage that draws people in to this ridiculous witch hunt. I'm neutral on the issue because I feel it's complicated like every other polarizing topic, but to a lot of folks it's solid black-and-white, good-vs-evil. But the pro-gay-marriage crowd seems to go beyond that. To them, it's so black-and-white that one's not even allowed to hold the other view. These people don't even acknowledge the legitimacy of any other beliefs but their own and refuse to stoop to the level of debating the other side on intellectual grounds.

> It’s not a witch hunt.

You bet your ass it is. It's another in a string of incidents, including boycotting chick fil a for it's owner's beliefs, boycotting duck dynasty for that one guy's beliefs, boycotting starbucks for it's owner's beliefs, the list goes own.

Now this is not to take a particular stance on the issue. It's to say that dismissing the legitimacy of other's beliefs besides your own shows a pretty absurd level of intellectual hubris (not unheard of around these parts).

What if it's initially deployed in another country with more reasonable regulators? I'm not sure such a place exists, but I don't see why it has to be in the US.
Enterprise salespeople are very expensive. Probably because for most of their existence they have been selling very expensive products. Not sure where this all shakes out. Does the enterprise salesperson of the future get paid less b/c he/she is selling cheaper products, or do we just employ less enterprise salespeople? i.e. only use them for the biggest contracts and have the rest of the leads handled by sales engineers/customer service types who work off of funnel scripts?

Eh, my personal experience has been that no one actually asks you to stay late for anything. A couple of people seem to do so without being asked, but if a deadline is missed, the reaction is generally, "Well, let's examine the process for what we're doing wrong. Are we overcommitting? Were the specifications wrong? Are the engineers being randomized too much? Did we change the specs midway through?" Etc. It's never "Oh, you didn't put the extra hours in."

But that's just my personal experience.
It isn't a form of oppression. How someone can say that a CEO of a company is being actively oppressed, I'll never know.

There are moral fashions. But this isn't one of them, because it's far from arbitrary. We aren't going to have some sort of sudden fashion back the other way, where people are suddenly against interracial marriage, or against black people voting, or against women voting.

They also aren't shunning him for his views. They're shunning him for his actions. He tried to hurt them; it is not unreasonable of them to refuse to support him or the organization he runs.
I will eat my proverbial hat if you can find one executive from a top company that never promoted taxes for the income range my family is into.
I would write an article called "20 reasons why Brian should change his stance on Gay Marriage." and spread that all over the internet. It's not that their boycotting stance isn't valid, it's that I think it's not the best way to go about making the right kind of changes for the gay rights movement. You won't achieve anything by boycotting him because there's a massive amount of people just like him. Again, that's like saying I'm not supporting America because Tomas Jefferson owned slaves and there's no way a flawed man who supports slavery can create a country founded on "freedom". Despite Jefferson's flaws he still made the USA great. Like-wise, despite Brian's anti-gay stance he can still make Mozilla great. It's not Mozilla you should be hurting, it's Brian that you should be reaching out to. Mozilla and it's users are innocent so don't get them involved in all this.

It's certainly illegal to fire someone over that opinion, yes.

Is gay a protected class then? If the answer is no, then homophobes is not a protected class. If the answer is yes, then homophobes is a protected class in your definition.

Will I want to work with someone who is pro-Nazism? Probably not, but will I respect his belief? Yes. But will I use that to disqualify him from being my co-worker? No. I would be lying to say I wouldn't feel threaten to know I am working with someone who believe in Nazism, but I don't think that's enough to justify a demotion or firing.

The analog wouldn't be a muslim wedding; it would be a Muslim religious ceremony.

The proprietors in question clearly stated they would sell a birthday cake to a gay couple. They wouldn't, however, sell them a wedding cake.

A better analogy would be whether a Muslim bakery could be forced to produce communion wafers. Or whether a baker would otherwise be forced to produce a cake containing speech he or she didn't agree with ("Happy Abortion!" or "Happy Bris!").

In my view, this issue is complex only because the position of the business owners in question is being elided.

I can personally attest that it is straightforward to port Linux-based web apps to work on Sandstorm. Over the weekend, I ported a game of mine. You can play an instance of it here (warning, makes sound): https://alpha.sandstorm.io/grain/ozfn8bSxa6Ygt74YA

Lol, likely, my brother is the writer/presenter. Was hoping it might gel with the hn crowd, but likely a little too basic :-)
Well no, he has the exact same rights as any other citizen to vote and donate for whatever laws he prefers.

It's inappropriate to do various things that hurt people around you; but it's perfectly fine to vote and support laws that directly affect quality of life of people in both directions (surprise - pretty much all laws/propositions do!).

It's exactly the same as boycotting a company because CEO belongs to a really opposite political party - USA doesn't have any really opposite parties; but the rest of the world has seen quite a lot of such partisanism, and it ends up just as ugly as any other bigotry.
Another comparable example: He donated 10,000 to the Nazi party.

"Society has shifted on this issue, such that the traditional is considered unacceptable to hold; you're ostracized with negative labels should you hold the unfashionable position..."

Couldn't you say the same thing about civil rights? Slavery? Colonization? At some point these ideas were considered 'OK' by society and then at some point they were considered 'Not OK'. Are these simply 'fashions' to you? I think PG's article is interesting and very relevant, but taking it and naming something a 'fashion' without studying it in the same depth as the article isn't pushing the argument forward at all.
Still somewhat amazed at how discussion around a successful example of product-market fit degenerated into such bile, but glad to see clarification from you and Sarvjeet.

The thing is everyone says this. But I have yet to hear one person actually argue that "self-driving cars make mistakes and therefore should be banned". I think it's a strawman.

When the time comes to debate it, everyone is going to make the argument that they are still safer than human drivers. That wasn't true for the train operators.

U.S. abortion law is far to the left of even Western Europe. And there was never a legislative action in the U.S. that legalized abortion per se. Instead, it was a very controversial court decision. This has clearly frozen and polarized the debate. It's not out of the realm of possibilities the same could happen in the gay marriage debate.
