He simply does not qualify as a 'sane' republican. The lesser of all evils and all that, sure, but when both candidates are absolute monsters you really shouldn't fund either of them (even if, given no other option, you vote for one)
But those contracts and benefits can be had without the word. Was Prop 8 attempting to permanently remove the ability to gain those benefits?
I just had this idea: How about making it really easy to be promoted to a volunteer down-vote moderator for an hour or so, just a button away. The task would be to downvote comments with mean and extreme language. The down-votes would count twice during that time and the actual moderators would be able to monitor what the volunteers are doing and to act accordingly in the event of misuse. That maybe results in less work for the actual moderators and at the same time it’s maybe more effective. I think, I would happily do this on a lazy sunday afternoon as a service to the community.
I guess my biggest question is how is this different from a company like PODS or the other ones that bring a storage unit to your home, or wherever, and once you fill it come back and take it to their warehouse for storage.

As someone who has moved across states several times, I can say that those types of moves are the biggest headaches for logistics personally. There is always a delay there either on receiving or sending side. On the self-storage market the biggest headaches I have personally experienced is that when I throw things in storage it tends to have absolutely no organization and I usually get a unit that just isn't big enough. What then happens is I cram so much stuff in, with no organization, that when I just happen to need something I end up spending a day pulling everything out to find it.

My dad ran a moving company for years while I was growing up and I do think there is room to move in this market I just don't know what area to target. Mark Cuban had a tweet recently about it: https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/425750659531411456
You really should be saying that to bluntly_said -- his/her comments are far more unhinged than Kuranamon.

e.g.
"fucking PATHETIC"
"yo FUCKHEAD"
"FUCK YOU"
"...you're a bully. A fucking FUCKHEAD bully"

Two wrongs don't make a right, but "you should be ashamed of yourself" is pretty tame compared to the above.
Or Sweden? I hear it's a dystopian hellhole.
That's why banks have an available balance and a posted balance. One is the best available estimate of how much money you can spend. The other is the reconciled balance after transactions have been posted.

It would have been possible for the exchanges to have used a NoSQL db with this strategy, but they didn't. They should have been keeping transaction logs and reconciling balances, but they didn't.

While, I'm no fan of MongoDB, it isn't really their fault. These exchanges were designed by people who didn't know any better.

So you take the Scumbag Steve hat, and photoshop it on Sam Yagan's head, then place the text I mentioned. I invite you to look into image-based memes, as it seems you're confused on their execution.

sound bytes are almost intentionally inaccurate. if you could take such a complex issue and fit it into twenty words or less, you're probably losing a lot, or it wasn't a substantial issue.

As far as PR nightmare backlashes go, the Eich one is a walk in the park. An efficient corporate PR campaign would have taken Eich's initial response, and ran with it, having Eich personally donate money to LGBTQ campaigns that aren't related to Proposition 8. That would have crippled the backlash, because half the LBGTQ's would've pointed to the donation as a sign that Brendan-Now is different than Brendan-Then.

Sadly, they didn't respond fast enough, or effectively enough. How many other CEO's have been ousted because of their Gay Rights stances?

Looks like someone just changed the title of this HN submission. For the record, it originally said: “Full name and email for every Flickr invite ever sent can be viewed by anyone”, which was accurate at the time of posting.
I had the same problem. Go here and disable it:

You could focus first as a search engine for everything baby or medical related. As a new dad I can't even count how many times I've searched for something like "what temperature should I bring my baby to the er" and find pages of mommy blogs and user comments. In instances like those I need accurate instant answers, not page after page of "my son had a 103 fever for 6 days and we didn't bring him to the doctor and he seems fine".
Then again, my dad, which was a sociology major, bought a vic 20 when it came out, and proceeded to implement a system for bidding on construction contacts in Quick Basic for first the Apricot and later the PC (Because at the time there were no decent software for the task). I believe he took a part-time computer science class at the local college in the 80s prior to writing that piece of software.

He doesn't program any more, but the idea that you'd have to be 20 when you started is just plain wrong. You could've been 40.

He also used to play with meccano and legos, and I remember we built a traversing crane during a Christmas in the mid 80s (on ropes from the living room to the kitchen, a spam of some 7 meters). If you were a hacker soul before personal computing, it'd be quite easy to get into computers (and realize that it would be important).
I changed the title in accordance with the HN guidelines.
> You and everyone else I've asked this question to seem to dance around it. How is this any different than supporting any other kind of anti-equality thing?

He has not said anything hateful.

In many ways, I think his opinion is not conducive to equality. In fact, the notion of marriage is unequal. It's unequal to people who don't want to get married or are polyamorous. Also, there are many natural inequalities. There are many gray areas. Also, everybody has prejudices and promote inequality in some contexts.

However, just because someone has an opinion of inequality, doesn't mean he should be the target of a smear campaign.

Tolerance is important.

> Rejecting intolerance is the first step.

That's why I'm rejecting the gay rights movement's online bullying tactics. You don't get a free pass just because you were an oppressed minority in the past.

> Which holds about as much water as "sorry you were offended" in my book.

He said he is sorry he caused pain. He admitted to causing the pain and apologized for that. He did not turn the blame around to say your perception is wrong.

He is the target of your hate. Let go of your hate. Hate is the dark side...

> I have no problem what-so-ever castigating someone for bad behavior if it's actually proven that they did engage in bad behavior.

It's not proven that he behaved badly. Also, who is the proper judge of this? The mob always feels like they are the right judge. The mob always feels justified. How else could the mob justify the bad things that mobs do to their victims?

> you're mis-framing Eich's action as if it were a mere opinion or thought that crossed his mind one day

Have a rational dialog about this. Express how much pain Prop 8 caused. Express why this is an inequality & how that affects you. Don't act with vengeance.

That is why Martin Luther King & Ghandi were successful. They did not act like their oppressors. They had the moral high ground. If they acted with vengeance, equality would not be as far as it is today.

Besides the Sketchpad, Alan always mentions Grail (GRAphic Input Language), designed by Thomas Ellis and programmed by Gabriel Groner and others at the Rand Corporation. That was from 1964.

As far as I know, Alan also greatly admires the work done at MIT in the 1970s like http://www.paulmckevitt.com/cre333/papers/putthatthere.pdf
I'd love to know how they are running the shaft from the turbine to the compressor .. these things spin at something like 100,000RPM if I'm not mistaken. Normally this would be handled by a few bearings with direct oil intake at high pressure with the bearings being only a few centimeters apart if that .. but to span an entire engine is some special kind of precision engineering.

edit: special because any imbalance in the shaft would rip the bearings apart.
I want Wayland to ship as soon as possible, I'm looking at the situation in the most "negative" way so that if it ship sooner than I believe, I'll be happy, and if it doesn't, I'll not be sad. (Wayland has been close to shipping for a lot of time now, remember when Shuttleworth wanted to ship it in 12.04 as a developer preview? The good old times when Canonical didn't suffer from NIH).

Gnome should ship with Wayland considered as stable with 3.14, and (as far as I know), there's no plain to ship KDE on Wayland before KDE5. XWayland still need works, and without it no distro will ship Wayland. The proprietary drivers still need to come out (Nvidia might be at work on them already, but for all we know it might still be just some drawing on a blackboard - and let's not forget about AMD, that will probably take quite a bit of time).

Also "normal" distro (Mint, openSUSE, Fedora...) will probably take their time as well to ensure that everything is working. I'd expect to see some kind of experimental preview, then a version with support to both (but with the default still being X) and then a version with Wayland (and an X failback).

Probably I'm just being negative here, and if everything happens faster than how I think it will, then great! Also, probably just a generic "years" feels too much, my expected timeframe is/was 2-3 years.
> People much wiser than us founded America upon the principle that extreme wealth is incompatible with democracy.

You need to go back and take a look at early American history. Many of the founding fathers were business owners and/or extremely land wealthy and had a strong interest in personal property rights as a result. They needed the middle class of the day to agree to the ratification of the constitution which led to the bill of rights.

Basically they founded America on the principle that their extreme wealth was incompatible with the rest of the colonials without democracy.
You made me come up with something: I don't have a problem with the rich, but not at the expense of others. (And we are not talking about everyone a luxurious car, but for some it's about not having a roof and bread.)
>But you miss the point: a large fraction of those suburban dwellers work and get paid in the city. Cities like London have literally millions of daily commuters.

Yes, and they use fewer services than locals. They also pay transportation-related fees (commuters are a gold mine for San Francisco), and sometimes even income taxes (as in NYC). Hell, New York forces you to pay city income taxes if you telecommute to a company there even if you never set foot in the city.

In my local big city the two biggest budget items are "protection" (police and fire, mostly) and "health and welfare". Commuters don't require police or fire protection in the evenings, and they don't use the local methadone clinic. They don't use residential services either, which tend to be subsidized by businesses.

>Money flows out of cities because they contain a lot of taxpayers that consume resources efficiently. Collecting the garbage from a 200-unit condo building is way cheaper than visiting 200 houses in a suburban subdivision. Yet the dollar value of the house and condo are similar and they pay similar taxes. If the city condo dweller works at the next desk to commuting suburbanite, they get paid the same and pay the same taxes. The suburbanite costs more to service and consumes more energy, etc.

Suburban people pay the cost of their own trash pickup, as well as other utilities. At least where I live these kinds of services are done on a city-by-city contract basis, so nobody is subsidizing the water, trash, communications, or sewer for my suburban city. And yet, I pay less than the local urban people do, which implies it's not as efficient to provide services to built-up areas as proponents claim.

I work at a mobile provider, and for us urban customers cost many times what the suburban customers do. Everything in cities is crazy expensive, the permitting process always takes longer, and you can never put things where you want to put them. When I want to do a drive test it takes forever because of traffic, and people who work in the city have to be paid more. If I want to open a storefront for customer service the rent is many times what I pay in the suburbs.

Everyone who's providing services has to be running into the same sorts of costs.

>Also, cities have a higher ratio of taxpayers to non-taxpayers. There are fewer kids and retirees living there, for example.

That's because high density cities are too expensive to raise children or take care of grandpa. This is a counter-argument to the one you're trying to make, as it implies cities are forcing suburbs to take people who aren't a net tax benefit.

>I'm not against suburbs at all. Often a great place to live, particularly with kids. But it's helpful to understand their costs.

Yes, well, my argument is the costs you've enumerated are being paid by the people who incur them. Usually people who try to claim cities are subsidizing suburbs lean on highways, which are normally paid on a regional or national basis. But that argument rests on the fanciful notion that when California builds a highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco it's primarily a benefit to the people in the Central Valley.
The number you're looking for is 599,602 people, not 7 million people.

Note that I've not said anything to support boycotting Mozilla or calling for Eich to get fired. I just don't like people laughing it off as just some good ole fun he was having.

Donating money--real money, $1,000--to a campaign of hate is bad, particularly considering the vile rhetoric it used those funds for directly. Bad bad bad. It's also bad to have voted for it, but just bad, not bad bad bad.

I don't think being a bigot means you're inherently a terrible person or that you should be fired from a position. That's situational. I say it was a bad move for the board to make him CEO in the first place--the rage and hurt that'd happen because of that was easily foreseeable--and I'm neutral/too lacking of information on Mozilla's organizational health on whether he should have been fired after he got the position.
I know people keep repeating that, but I doubt it's actually true. See my other comment.
I am trying to make something similar to the Movie quote search. I am focusing more on making an easy way to share your favourite clips from shows.

I am working on a simple website to host the clips as well. cuts.io (live again soon). I want that as a hassle free alternative to youtube, for short clips!

Each US state has its own licensing laws and you may have issues with the particular laws in your state, but it's certainly wrong to say there's no mandatory driver's ed in the US. California, for example, requires 30 hours of classroom education and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction from a state-licensed professional driving school.
Which is a longer and more arduous process to fix. In the mean time, you've got a constitutional issue that must be addressed now.

California had a few options here.

* Redefine all "marriages" as "civil unions". Makes the religious folks and libertarians happy, but introduces a problem in that you've deleted something that every other state recognizes. How will marriages in other states carry over? How about contracts that recognize a marriage (out of state insurance comes to mind)? Etc? Those would all be invalid. You've also ensured that any union in California (ANYONE's, not just LGBT's) would be invalid in any other state because they're legally not marriages anymore.

I say this solution introduces what would be known in the packaging world as dependency hell. Too many other things rely on the first thing to exist in its current state. You've introduced a change that is going to break a lot of things without dealing with them first.

Bad idea all around.

* Amend the legal definition of marriage to include any two people. Simplest thing that could possibly work, ensures that marriages performed in the state will be recognized elsewhere and for other purposes. No dependency issues. Annoys the religious folks a bit, but religious views have no say in law anyways!
> we (mistakenly) use 'kilobyte', 'megabyte' or 'gigabyte'

Mistakenly? How? The new terms with the "bibis" in them were invented because of the misuse of the original terms by storage vendors.
> Do you really receive thousands of invalid security reports every month or is user Schofield way out of their depth.

Although our project is much smaller, we also run a bounty program through HackerOne, and publish aggregate results every month. You can see them under the "Security" headers of the changelog for the last few months to get a quick sense of the overall composition of reports that come through a channel like this, at least for our project:

http://phabricator.org/changelog/

For example, last month we received 49 reports, of which we believe 5 were legitimate security issues which we fixed and awarded. Although the signal on this channel is extremely valuable, it's embedded in a lot of noise, and separating the two is often difficult and time consuming. It wouldn't surprise me if we made mistakes with a few reports even at this relatively small scale, and we have a much easier task than larger projects do.

I'm extremely supportive of HackerOne, but I'm always a little worried we'll make a mistake and end up tried in the court of public opinion when we triaged >99% of the reports correctly and the overall impact of the program is hugely beneficial for researchers, for us, and for our users.

Of course, we should be aiming for 100%, and getting it right almost all the time isn't a free pass for the cases when things go wrong, but seeing just the cases where an issue wasn't handled correctly discards a lot of context.

> I think the issue is that as long as the state endows rights to religious practice (marriage) there is a problem.

Legal marriage and religious marriage are already not the same thing. That was the entire point of my statement - that legally, it didn't matter what the state called it because it is a separate institution. You can get legally married without a religious ceremony.
This is a good clarification. I should have been clearer. In partciular, I should have specified (in my articularion) anyone employed under contract (not at-will).+

The #3 case here is probably the best reference here for a definition of contemporary usage.

The frission around the ~negative connotation may be hard to understand without the context of entymology. Poaching indeed has a long history in the English language and its "literal" meaning involves the taking of "other's property" by way of hunting. The nexus of "others property" here is important. Originally this was birthrights to game and chattle rights to spouse and since this was before the industrial revolution, employment would be similarly duty bound.

So, to poach is to hunt, or to head-hunt, against other's formal (eg contractual) rights. It has been along time since then and the term is now idiomatic. So, if you want to understand the "subtlety" or the "frission", it probably helps to understand the entymology.

But, as noted above, this doesn't help you to understand contemporary usage as much as somthing more detailed on that subject. So, defer to the above comment.

This is a good example of HN comments getting all the points out on the table from different views.

_________________

+ Years ago, when head-hunting was "executive recruiting", most of these folks would have been under contract, for example. Or be partners in a law firm or bank. Again, the world has moved on and recruiting now is not limited to high-level execs, or people in company careers that might otherwise be 30 years long or whatevs.
The interesting bit about the Ilmor relationship is that it stemmed from development of another Mercedes' branded motorsport superweapon.

Ilmor was founded by 2 Cosworth engineers who disagreed with the development direction of the DFX CART engine, they started with funding from GM to design an Chevy-branded engine for CART which went on to win 6 straight Indy 500s. Despite their immense success, the Ilmor team wanted to design a one-off engine around a loophole that allowed much more regulatory freedom if the engine used pushrods instead of overhead cams. That loophole could theoretically allow an engine to make ~200hp more than the competition butGM was winning trophies hand over fist. They declined to fund the concept so the two companies parted ways.

They still saw enormous potential in the pushrod concept and found willing partners in Roger Penske and Mercedes. Shortly thereafter the Mercedes 500l had been born, also known as Mercedosaurus Rex. It's the spiritual predecessor to this year's engine in that it was in a completely different league than its competition.

If you're interested in motorsport history and engineering you should read this: http://8w.forix.com/penske-mercedes-pc23.html

It's nearly book length but it does a great job of explaining why the 500l deserves its place in motorsports legend.
A practice that religion happens to do - not a religious practice. Marriage did not originate as a religious ceremony, but as a legal contract to deal with things like childen and property.

The fact that various churches horned in on this should carry no meaning, or else you're setting a really bad precedent, namely that anything enough churches do cannot be legislated on in any way.
Just stops me from moving onto my back while I sleep.
in recent years, most pride marches and supporting organizations have adopted the asterisk to handle the inclusiveness of all those that aren't neccessarily "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, genderQueer", but still fall under the umbrella of the movement. Recently, this has included Genderfluids, Furries and the Polyamorous as well.

I capitalized the letter in which I personally identify. though I can't capitalize the asterisk. :)
