> If you're old-school and think in the general case that it has something more to do with children and families and sexual reproduction

When has fertility been a requirement for marriage? I haven't heard anyone suggest that infertile couples should be denied the right to marriage, so I don't buy that this has anything to do with children or reproduction.
Rounding up, no. Bullying and purging, yes. See this list for 150+ similar cases: http://handleshaus.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/bullied-and-badg...
Once upon a time, OKCupid had amazing blog posts with fascinating analyses of their data.

The blog posts stopped. Match.com acquired them. And their data-centric roots seemed to have eroded badly.

The message they put up -- "If individuals like Mr. Eich had their way, then roughly eight percent of the relationships we’ve worked so hard to bring about would be illegal." [^1] -- was pretty sloppy hyperbole. As if 100% of the 8% were going to get married. As if OKCupid were marriage-oriented like Eharmony.

Although a mob has many members, OKCupid is the company that chose to crank this into a higher gear, and volunteer to be Conseja de la Suprema y General Inquisición. [^2]

Marriage equality is right. Purges are wrong. Shamers should be ashamed.

>> Is it a political issue, like minimum wage

One might argue that minimum wage is a human rights issue, especially if a full time employee on minimum wage can't afford food and shelter.
I'm not about to go off into the weeds with you on a completely separate topic that I swear every single anti-equality person jumps to as a matter of course. Views on equal marriage rights are completely irrelevant to how many people a person should be able to marry - the concerns raised are completely different both on a sociological and a legal level.

This conversation is over.

OK, will do:

Proponents of the constitutional amendment argued that
exclusively heterosexual marriage was "an essential
institution of society"

Totally baseless assertion. So was the right to vote only belonging to white male landowners at the end of the 18th century.

[T]hat leaving the constitution unchanged would "result
in public schools teaching our kids that gay marriage
is okay"

In my 13 years of public schooling I don't remember any of my teachers ever discussing marriage.

[And] that gays "do not have the right to redefine
marriage for everyone else."

If you don't like gay marriage, you don't have to get gay married. You're more than welcome to get married to a member of the opposite sex, like I—ostensibly—will do at some point.
What this shows is a great disparity between companies, i.e. corporate culture apparently attracts and/or fosters bigotry. (Intel, wtf?)

Which only supports the notion that Mozilla, given it's clear stance on equality and inclusiveness, should not be lead by a bigot like Eich. It was a completely inappropriate choice to begin with.

On a side note, I am disgusted by the way this is being artificially politicized by using terms like "progressive" and "liberal". Supporting equal civil rights for all is not a political view, not does being conservative mean being anti-gay.

This is not a political issue. You wouldn't call someone who is against institutionalized racism a "liberal" or "progressive".

The attempts to frame bigotry as politics is probably the most sickening part of this whole debacle.
In California it's even easier than getting a notary - you just need signatures on the title ("pink slip"), and then both parties can fill an online form for transfer or liability. The buyer then goes and hands over the title to the DMV at some point in the next (10) days, getting a new title in the mail.

For as well me I've had a decent experience on Craigslist - just some due diligence and research on best practices and you're good to go. But it does take some time and patience and dealing with flaky buyers. Just ignore the lowballers and the non-serious. However I'm sure a lot of people would love this type of service, especially in common scenarios where the actual seller is busy so they try to proxy it to a family member who really isn't interested in selling it. Or when they've moved out of state and buyers don't want to deal with that

I would suggest making the sell price in the big red letters instead of the "youll earn" part. That whole section is a little confusing and I thought it was telling me I would only get 2k for my 20k car. I only really care about how much I would be getting for my car, the comparison to the dealership is important but secondary, and oh by the way I will have already probably looked that up on kbb.com.
With that said, there are so many people that pay for gym membership and barely go; at least this forces him to get some exercise.
It is bad analysis by the reporter but it's also a bad map.

Once the tweet-density becomes higher than the maximum point density the area turns red. So any dense concentration of people is shown as red. Find a crowded poor neighborhood and it'll be red. And it's compounded by the way red pops out more than the green does. Also compounded by the annoying zoom level restriction.
On the topic of loaded words, the Wall Street Journal this morning had a front-page above-the-fold piece quoting Anil Dash: "The 'mob'? Seriously? Would you say that someone who tried to criminalize your marriage was fit to lead you?"

Results of Prop 8, to wit: No one was charged with a felony. No one was charged with a misdemeanor. No one was charged with an infraction. No one was fined, arrested, detained, or jailed. Criminalization!!!

(Determining whether "the mob" that forced Eich to step down, the phrase against which Dash protests, is similarly loaded or not: is left as an exercise to the HN reader.)
Wave was not an attempt to create a social network, it was an attempt to create a next-gen replacement for Email.
No, that isn't going to happen, but the dehumanization of a person happens quickly. You can easily go from well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion to, ostracizing people. Sure the extreme example is rounding people up, but it's that slippery slope that we need to watch out for.

Our country is going in a GREAT direction and soon homophobia is going to be much like racism. It will be taboo and hopefully die out to small pockets of resistance. But during that transition we need to remember that the people on the other side of the fence are people too and we need to accept them as societal norms change. History is ripe with situations where people are turned into black sheep by society because they were on the wrong side of the fence and we (the majority) demonize them.
I wonder what the age breakup of their SV workforce is. Intel didn't get big on software, so presumably their workers are a generation apart from those of Google.

Right, but in other activities if you practice safely and under professional supervision you can usually minimize the risk. Here the movement is short and repetitive which in turn builds short muscles. It's a "feature", not a corner case "bug".

It would be nice to say screw IE users but not everyone can do that.
Let's do look at those arguments you referenced.

> Proponents of the constitutional amendment argued that exclusively heterosexual marriage was "an essential institution of society."

This is not an argument, it's a statement of opinion. I'd be interested in seeing what facts back it.

> that leaving the constitution unchanged would "result in public schools teaching our kids that gay marriage is okay"

This is making the presumption that gay marriage is not okay, which again, is an opinion without any backing facts.

> and that gays "do not have the right to redefine marriage for everyone else."

This is a non-sequitur - gays are not trying to redefine marriage for everyone else. Nothing pertaining to hetero marriage would be changed in the slightest by allowing gays to participate in the institution.
iPhone 4S is free with 2-year contract; Apple moves the older generation devices into the free tier after they start the upgrade cycle. The iPhone 5c will be next into the free tier.
Yes, pretty much, but that'd have to be combined with some sort of "sharing", "inbox" and/or "following" system like Wave came with. Perhaps email could be hacked into being that, but then we have the issue of "what happens when the service provider goes down" - Drive Realtime doesn't provide automatic saving of the Javascript that I can view and edit my document with, likely ending up relying on a third-party not to go down.

I suspect that it'd be "easy" to build an MVP of what I suggest on top of Google Drive and Google Drive Realtime, or even on top of some of Wave's internals.

Well, now that's a terribly effective argument.
Thanks Andrew. We're trying to expand as quickly as possible, but we have to tackle the Bay Area Market first.

Thanks for the feedback, it looks like a lot of people are confused by that. We'll make changes and update it tonight.

Thanks again guys, really appreciate it!
That's a bit different, also, have you considered that the other people were more experienced and better qualified so the manager used the age and need as an excuse to spare your feelings/morale?
The maps are clearly flawed, but the overall point is entirely true, and emphasised by the fact that most spending on Android is, predictably, done by those with newer higher end devices.

I used to be super bullish on Android, now much less so. It's sacrilege around here, but I'm beginning to think that ecosystems which are not primarily based on open source have broader economic benefits. Even the notion of barriers to entry (i.e. expensive dev tools) can serve a purpose, in that companies will invest more developing products in such situations with less fear that they're going to be nuked by some kids and an open source stack. (Of course in reality they just do less, but the free competitors problem isn't going to happen).

This is why I'm incredibly pessimistic about the web, and almost any technology attached to Google these days: it's simply far too competitive, and the barriers to entry, thanks to the cloud wars and modern software stacks, are getting smaller at a frightening rate. Google are smart enough that when you're in an ecosystem with them and they aren't doing the role you're doing it's because they've commoditized their complements: you.

My hunch is Google have been pursuing Glass, and now wearables, in a desperate way to attach their brand to the classes of people that carry iPhones. The Apple envy in Mountain View seems to run very deep indeed, but they're also trying to fight off Facebook at every turn, which has led to a very confused situation.
There are multiple species of cats (e.g. domestic, bobcat, leopard) and some can interbreed.
You are right. I put the emphasis there not to condemn them, but it seems like a majority of comments equate pro-Prop 8 with hating homosexuals. I actually agree that few people out there are hateful.

It tends to be the 5% on either side that makes the rest of us look bad.
Hmm maybe. But in my area, you NEED to have a cable subscription to have internet connectivity. There are no broadband only packages that I am aware of.
Hey Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback. We are focusing on the bay area for now but are looking forward to expanding. As far as the wording goes, we've gotten several comments about it and will be changing it soon.
I'm gonna just say it. The really good people know their worth and consequently have very premeditated family planning.
I could see a bulk metric insert [e.g. a modified version of StatsD] being >8KB.
Our latency concerns are "can our product managers make decisions quickly", to that end we're OK with a 24 hour latency for stats. The fact that we're at 5 hour latency gives us a lot of breathing room.

Kinesis looks really interesting, and is definitely something that we're going to look at once we work out our ETL process.

The order of priority for us has been:

1 - Get a pipeline up and running
2 - Make it robust
3 - Make it fast.

Pipeline v3, our current one, satisfies (2). We expect to be working on (3) in the near future. ETL is the latter part of (2). (3) results in powering dashboards, we expect those to contain a lot of joined data and having a robust ETL process is pretty key to that.
It is the easy scalping he mentioned.

A market maker can only stay in business if they sell as much as they buy and if the average sale price is above their average buy price. They lose money if they provide liquidity in the way of market moving forces.

Market makers try to avoid informed and "toxic" order flow and broker flow is guaranteed source of small uninformed orders that are most likely going to be crossing the spread.
a) Opposition to all marriage.

b) Insistence on having marriage be concretely defined as "one man and one woman" and potentially introduce similar but differently named unions for non-traditional couples. This actually has some basis, as marriage used to be widely defined as such (even in dictionaries) until the debate of gay marriage led to a shift in terminology.

Those are two that I can name of. Note that I personally belong to argument A. Not that it's a vehement opposition, just a personal view on the futility of it.
There were two protocols. One used internally by the Google Wave server, and a federation protocol based on XMPP.

Extending waves could be done with gadgets and bots. Bots were essentially XMPP clients that could observe the wave and submit changes to it [1]. Gadgets had other utilities, like introducing features to a wave document. I can't remember any particularly interesting ones, but some simple ones would be dice rollers and polls.

[1] I played with a clojure REPL bot at one point, neat concept and I liked the idea for a collaborative way to teach someone how to program or pair program. I toyed for a time with exposing a common lisp REPL (I didn't get far) to create a collaborative worksheet-style interface. Since the underlying technology was language agnostic I thought it would have been neat as a way to integrate a number of different interactive languages.
What is scary is that some doctors / people consider medication a panacea for curing mood disorder when it can actually get worse initially. Clinical results are much better when it is combined with behavioral therapy (skills training on how you talk to yourself in your mind). Antidepressants take weeks to have a consistent effect on serotonin levels and a lot of patients only on medicine might initially feel hopeless because it seems the medicine isn't working, yet it might be working enough increase motivation (but not mood). This is part of why antidepressants may increase risk of suicide (you might have more motivation to take action without yet experiencing enhanced mood). PLEASE - if you or anyone you know is going to start taking antidepressants, combine it with behavioral therapy, and realize the mood changes take time to work.

If you didn't jump on my back to force some community guidelines down our throats, I would have been at the top of this thread with high XX-range karma. :-(

But it's okay, I understand the concern.
Let me try and suggest an explanation.

In a democracy, you work to make your opinion heard and effective. If you have the opinion, whether based on religious or other grounds, that homosexuality may damage the overall morality of a society, then you would work to protect that society from what you would view as a potential issue. You would also support laws that would be a means to that end--the goal not being to put somebody else down but to uphold it. Therefore a person that holds such beliefs would support enacting a law that prevents something, even if it didn't constrain them in any way.

Well, no. That's not what people who are against gay marriage are trying to stop.

Those are all different issues, and you'll find different percentages of people for and against each of them. Lowest against the deathbed issue, highest on the child custody issue, for example. Then the concept of redefining the term "marriage", which is yet another different issue.

Conflating all these issues is not helpful in the discussion. People's feelings on these topics are complex, and you really have to talk about it with that complexity to have any meaningful insight.

Anyone else want to find out if OKCupid uses any Intel products, and if so, start harassing them over it? Since the data shows Intel employees had pretty strong support for Prop 8.

I feel kind of guilty about this, as it feels like fighting fire with fire, but I would hope it would illustrate that this sort of witch hunting and "six degrees of separation" will lead to absolutely stupid results if applied to the utmost degree.

P.S. Not to mention they surely use Javascript, another technology tainted by Mr. Eich himself. They harass users of "his" browser, but don't seem to see an issue with their own use of another of his projects.

Fact - cycling creates short leg muscles, hamstrings in particular. For those of us who have tight hamstrings, which is most males (according to my subjective, biased observations), this is not good. Creates back problems later on.

I agree that some cycling is better than no activity. But I would say that going to a hooker every night is also better for you health wise than staying in and watching tv, as long as you wear at least 2 condoms.
It doesn't matter if people actively working to deny some groups their equal rights are hateful or not; they could be the most charming people in the world. No one is suggesting jailing the holders of said beliefs because of them. But sending a clear message that some views are downright wrong in our society and are opposed to its core democratic values isn't a "mob mentality", and such a clear message in favor of equality does not lead to unfair discrimination, and certainly not to rounding up people and getting rid of them. All it does is educate people that intolerant views are not tolerated in a free society.

I support marriage equality and in general lean towards progressive/liberal polices. However I too am disturbed by the how aggressively progressive groups are getting where they demand that anyone who disagrees has to have their carrier destroyed and be totally ostracized from socity. Why was it necessary to demand that he loses his job? Why not just demend that Mozilla openly state their support for same sex marragie/benifts. Would all the people demanding that he step down also support a company who decided they would have a policy of not employing anyone who openly professed a belief in Islam, Catholicism or any number of world religions due to their opposition to same sex marriage? Demonizing the the people who disagree with us is not going to help win them over.

Edit: fixed typos.

Rewriting the client sounds like an awful task, but it might be necessary. I think I liked wave, but really have no interest in trying to get that online. If it was a stack I knew ( Rails ) or a stack I knew would be nice to use ( Flask, Node ) I might be interested in getting a copy online and maybe contributing.

Just for curiosity's sake, let's say I wanted to write a REALLY bare-bones Wave client. Like, maybe just doing text-only waves, maybe not even real time. How hard would that be?
