Anti-Tech Protesters Are Telling Kevin Rose’s Neighbors That He’s A “Parasite”

Along these lines, what if the tabs could pop back up at a certain day/time or if you could just snooze tabs? I see people use tabs as a pseudo todo list. Reminding you to do, schedule, research, or buy something. What if you could continue to use tabs that way, yet not clog up your computer, use up memory, or distract you from getting stuff done with open tabs.

When talking about income inequality it may be too narrow to only look at "how poor are the poorest people," because what's important in an inequality is the increasingly vast disparity between the poorest and the richest.

Focusing on the disparity is important because it highlights that there is systematic concentration of wealth, i.e. that the economic game seems to be stacked for the wealthiest: the rich really do get richer, while the poor really do get poorer.

Otherwise, when you look at the poorest of the poor, the knee-jerk rebuttal of some is just that, sure, some people are really poor, but they deserve it -- e.g. they are the deadbeats of society, or they should work harder, or they should get better educated. In constrast, the increasing disparity between the rich and poor gives evidence that something larger is going on.

I do agree that social mobility is important, as is expanding the middle class. But more than expanding the middle class, the income of the middle class should increase with the overall increase of wealth, which has not been occurring as of late.

Also, the concept of "more of us can move into the top 2% or 3%" is tautologically impossible :)
In what possible way is this 'thought police'?

This was in response to people asking for a clear statement as the press coverage has widely reported the opposite of almost all of those facts.
The CEO of a non-political company is even more of a many-thousand issue than a politician, so I am not sure that this removes the hypocrisy. He was calling for Eich to resign based on one issue which wasn't related to his job, but donated to a politician in spite of that same issue that is directly related to the politician's job. (I made the same argument you did to someone else, and this was his good counterargument)
cperciva, how come your code never includes a test suite? At the very least, every implementation of sha256, hmac-drbg, aes, and any other crypto primitive should come with tests based on the publicly available test vectors. Your implementations don't include these tests. Perhaps you run tests before releasing code, but that is not very reassuring. Please distribute tests with your code.
>>However, this idea that someone can't keep their personal political views outside of their workplace is the territory of small-minded idiots.

That can't be true for everything. If you think it's possible that a KKK member could be an effective leader/planner/organizer for an outreach program for the all the kids of low-income in Oakland, then you'd be wrong.
I built an importer script once -- the importing itself was handled in a worker, so when the file was first submitted, the importing would be done on a separate thread in a Transaction -- pretty much making it impossible to actually track progress. I set it so that it would 'tick' up a couple % every Math.rand(0..2) seconds; but also poll for the statuses I did know about (accepted, queued, started, finished).

It honestly made for a very comfortable UX -- customers did not know it was not actually representative of the true status, but they were nevertheless okay with waiting the 30~ seconds it took.
So you are saying they did it selfishly or to protect themselves? That's a pretty audacious claim considering many of the actions of these leaders. Where is the evidence that they had some ulterior motive all along?
What is regrettable in all this is that no one seems to consider the possibility that people may have nuanced views about gay marriage.

The norm portrayed on television and in so much of the media is that nuanced views are just a cover for being a "bad guy." In a story, black and white morality is so much more palatable for the least common denominator audience. News media now also follows this pattern, as do political commercials. However, reality is actually pretty complicated, and informed opinions are often nuanced by necessity.

There are other possible reasons one could have (for example, those who in ignorance of the many studies that showed that children of homosexual households grow up just fine could have unfounded reservations about gay adoption, but would be ready to change their mind if shown the evidence

A college housemate of mine was dead-set homophobic when she first moved in. However, she eventually became the best friends of a gay man who lived with us. Understanding in a pluralistic society comes from the everyday interaction of normal, decent people. This is how prejudices are debunked and the wounds of societal injustice are healed. The actions of OkCupid are vindictive and only unproductive in this regard.

And I think the separate but equal problem is a very compelling reason to remove rights from marriage entirely. Codifying religious beliefs into law shouldn't be accepted. Trying to redefine religious beliefs in law stirs up more controversy than it should.

Amending the law to force all couples to get the equivalent of a civil unions satisfies both camps.

Further, once marriage holds no rights, the government cannot stop a gay couple from getting married if a nice tolerant church wants to marry them (of which there are plenty). The issue is solely religious at that point. And "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..."

Just like the government can't force a church to marry someone, or force a very intolerant religious community to accepting that marriage.
CSRF is more or less impossible in a static site architecture. Since everything is just static HTML there are generally no form submission endpoints to attack.

XSS can be very dangerous, as can session hijacking, but CSRF is pretty much moot on static apps.
So happy to hear you say that. So much of the whole 99%/1% (or whatever arbitrary divide the pseudointellectual youth choose to focus on) fascination is fueled by envy. "Ugh, why should those corporate fat-cats have so much extra money when I can only afford the lesser quality otterbox for my new iphone?!" Inequality is not intrinsically bad. In fact, it's commonly accepted that so much extra wealth does not bring happiness, so perhaps we would do better to covet less and appreciate more.

I did look into Wikitionary briefly but it looked horrible to use since the data isn't stored in a structured format. It seemed I'd need to parse the wiki markup and the formatting conventions were different for the different languages, which would make it a tricky job to support all the languages that Readlang does.

It made me wish for an alternative open bilingual dictionary project which is structured and machine readable.
This is a rational argument, and this is the argument people should be having with those who oppose it rather than name calling and mudslinging. But nothing that you say here justifies calling those who oppose this bigots, etc. Either way, the California legislature is probably the wrong place to have this discussion, as a marriage in California wouldn't necessarily be recognized in other states anyways.
Interesting, the magic number is $100M[1], at least in the Bay Area that seems to be the number most folks are shooting for when they consider themselves "rich". Clearly I have a long way to go and not much runway left :-)

At least if they subpoena you directly, you're aware of it, and your lawyers can fight back. They'll probably still lose, but it's better than having your data slurped up secretly behind your back.
I don't really have any proof to use to refute your statement, but it seems to me to be a massive over-generalization. What about, for example, Bill Gates, who's been using his wealth to give back, start charities, etc. and plans to give all of it away over the course of the rest of his life?

Many of the rich might look at the poor and see a large class of people basically living off of their welfare checks -- which the rich would then say that they paid through taxes -- and say that those people are lazy and greedy and are hurting the economy.

I don't think either of these cases are true. There are good and bad apples in any class of people. I would say that it seems like people with power might have a tendency to become corrupted by that power -- but this isn't just money: politicians, big-time CEOs, etc. can end up like that too.
For some reason I like this idea, not sure why but seems like something that could help my wife immensely as well as other mothers.
I think it's just bash globbing.
> Eich doesn't really have a way out in this.

Which is not really correct though. Eich said he was sorry for the harm he caused, by not for the thoughts he had. He could have said "back then I thought one way about the matter, and even supported causes in that way, since then I've been educated that this is harmful and regret how I thought back then. My views have evolved and for anybody who was harmed by my thoughts and actions back then, I'm very sorry and will do my best to make amends."

We all make mistakes, and our thinking changes over the years. Eich is no different. He's as forgivable as we are. But forgiveness requires repentance, which he hasn't done. The current theory about why is that he still holds the same thoughts.

I said almost everyone, obviously you aren't (likely) related to remote islanders. However you'd be surprised how much mixing there is between population. All you need is one individual from another population to mix with another and within a few generations he is everyone's ancestors.

I'm not certain how much mixing there was between the new and the old world. However it did happen a lot and it's likely a large number of people do have some new and old world ancestors.
I never did suspend Max. He became one of my best students, and is now studying to be a pharmacist at UC-Davis. Soon, he'll be dosing people for a living. Funny how life turns out that way.

If this story is actually true, which I doubt, it is deeply disturbing that a dangerous little criminal could end up in such a position of trust. Surely there are procedures to stop drug addicts getting the keys to a pharmacy?
Especially if it's some form of dynastic wealth

Now here's where I'm NOT going to sound like a Libertarian in this thread and agree with you.

Dynastic wealth should be cannibalized in the same way that big chunks of spaghetti code should be thrown away and rewritten. Dynastic wealth is demonstrably not earned and it's harmful to the mobility of others in society.

Personally, I don't have a problem with income inequality. If you work harder and are smarter than others, it seems reasonable for you to enjoy the spoils of that work.

I do, however, have a huge problem with wealth inequality. For the most part, it's attributable to inherited wealth and dynastic fortunes. Even after decades of hard work (and a salary well into the 1%), your net worth will still be a pittance to the size of people's inherited fortunes.

I have not once heard a compelling argument for why inheritance is a good thing for society. It's the opposite of social mobility and equal opportunity (supposedly American ideals) and only serves to concentrate capital in the hands of those with zero demonstrable ability to manage it effectively.

It might be politically untenable, but I'd support a 100% estate tax.
It's not the 0.1% are harmful. There will always be 0.1%, that's how percentages work. It's the proportion of wealth they control.

Would you support a system where 1 person controls 100% of the wealth? If not, why not?

If the current situation where the 1% control 35% of the wealth is not a problem, at what point do you think it would become a problem?

This is true, marriage in one state does not have to be recognized in another, or even federally. California amending it's marriage laws does not solve "dependency hell". It does however force your morals on a religious community within the state. Just like prop-8 was trying to force their morals on the gay community in that state.

BOTH sides got this one wrong.
The top 0.1% is not by definition harmful to society, but harm can come from when the 0.1% controls an increasingly disproportionate share of wealth. But of course, income inequality is not bad by axiom either.

The rub of increasing income inequality is that it undermines everyone benefiting from increasing wealth and technological advance (e.g. the hope that in the limit we'll approach a star-trek society).

Overall, we want a society in which wealth for all increases -- this is the futuristic dream of us working 15 hour work days by virtue of massive productivity gains from technological advance. Yet what seems to be currently happening in our economy is that technological advance enables increasing profit for a select few.
Isn't this basically harassment?
I think that was part of the goal of redefining marriage legally. Which is pretty damn brilliant once you think about it.

The full faith and credit clause ensures that contracts (which is what a marriage technically is) are valid in all other states in the union. This completely sidesteps any local laws that might be otherwise inferior, and also ensures that the case can be easily escalated (all the way to SCOTUS if necessary) in case of issues.
This is what scientologists do, harass your neighbours with flyers carefully worded as to avoid libel and post them all over the neighborhood. Pretty weak resorting to Scilon tactics

While it would be foolish to categorize companies as adhering to a messianic mission or being pragmatic and responsible to shareholders, since no company is entirely one or the other, it does affect the credibility as to how ideological such a stand actually was, or whether it was a strategic decision with projected benefits.

There are many types of relationship sites. There are those that focus on marriage or on casual sex, and ones that take your religious background into strong consideration. And, that's even before you get into the ones that focus on specific religions, ethnicities, or other demographics.

It's not immoral to have a business strategy, and an ideological stance doesn't have to hurt to meaningful, but given what it sounds like from the reporting, it's doubtful whether they have the moral authority to insist on the CEO of another company being fired for having been on the wrong side of an issue that has already lost. I seems like it was a business strategy that has no effect on the issue of gay marriage, and a decision that was made without concern about Mozilla or the guy who was fired because it isn't relevant to their business.

The Chinese silk road from 200 BC is perfectly on-topic for HN! We want more, not fewer, interesting pieces from off the beaten track.

We are neither revolted nor have we revolted.

In 2014, the 85 richest people have wealth equal to that of the poorest 3.5 billion — half of the world’s population [Oxfam report 2013]. The wealth of the richest one percent of people in the world is 65 times the total wealth of the bottom half of the world's population. And history will remember the IT industry as the poster-boy for the economic inequality that defines our age.

But, we, the workers of the IT industry, are neither revolted nor have we revolted. Instead, we have happily bought into the myth that we too could become as wealthy as Mark Zuckerberg. Our golden goose algorithm goes as follows: (1) get experience (be poor), (2) found a company and work hard (be poor for a bit longer), then (3) sell the company (get rich). Then we can either retire or return to step (2) as an investor (the highest of castes, exceeding even founders).

We are as stupid as the general population who believe we all can aspire to be members of the one-percenters.

Speaking for Reddit, it was an unfortunate consequence of the pseudonymous and point system. As communities got larger, there would be less and less tolerance for discussion and focus would stray towards quick (easily digested) posts.

Although, the counter point is that people in general are less likely to produce discussion. Or, that a lack there of of easily digested posts invokes discussion.
