Maybe Eric Raymond will shoot him. He hates mobs of gay bullies using their free speech to convince someone to resign, but he loves to be the lone white knight vigilante sticking up for women by using his guns to shoot people.

“if he were to threaten harm to Ms. Eicher in my presence, I would cheerfully shoot him.” -Eric Raymond

“I agree with Eric that Kvaratskhelia is extremely creepy and reprehensible in his online conduct. But I find one comment of Eric’s really strange and inappropriate: “if he were to threaten Ms. Eicher in my presence, I would cheerfully shoot him.” One can only hope that Eric has been afflicted by foot-in-mouth disease and would not pull the trigger of anything more harmful than a video camera in response to a verbal threat to a woman in his presence. Such threats, though reprehensible, are well handled by the system of justice without the assistance of vigilantes. I could also hope that Eric would not be _cheerful_ in shooting anyone regardless of the context. Strange.” -Bruce Perens

Let me ask this:

There are already many high quality, and depth resources that address all of the topics covered in this book. Yes, they may not be all in one book but that's not a big deal (imo).
Many of them are even written by these very same people (the interview with you is likely not the first time they've ever spoken about how they did it).

So in you mind, what is so unique about this book that would make it a go to resource for any of these topics for any entrepreneur?
Serious question: What is the purpose of "drinking all night" and not getting drunk? To me, the phrase "all night" implies "a lot" or at least "relatively frequently during the course of the evening".

Why would you want to drink a bunch of alcohol and not get drunk? If not becoming drunk was the goal, why wouldn't you just, you know, drink something non-alcoholic?
One of the reasons for drinking is getting drunk.

The important thing is to avoid the hangover.
I read the article. After letting it marinate, I concluded that I completely disagree with the author. Here's the crux of the argument.

One night I escaped the hacker house to go out with a group of founders from various startups ... At 10:30 the waitress came over to take our orders for a second round. I ordered another whiskey, but everybody else looked at their phones with muted anxiety. At 11 pm the founders rose in pairs to leave, as if they had an exam in the morning. One founder (his company was literally an app that optimized app stores for other apps), who’d ordered a water and had taken off neither his backpack nor his jacket, apologized on behalf of everybody for leaving so early.

vs.

By contrast, on a weekend afternoon I went over to find my young cousin—a talented and good-humored UX designer for Google—with his friends in Alamo Square, where they were winding down a barbecue in the January sun.

IMO, the author has outsmarted himself trying to find a way to 'upend' conventional wisdom.

I just don't think its bad for smart, motivated people to sacrifice bar crawls and bbqs in the hope of accomplishing something important. That doesn't sound like a problem to me ... that sounds like maturity.

The fact that anyone can experience bullying, survive, and go on to be a productive adult is impressive. The fact that most do is downright incredible

It is not. I know lots of people who were hampered for life because of bullying. I had two factors in my favor:

1. I was already in mid teens when bullying started, and knew that I could endure it.

2. Being a smart kid, I had support of teachers. So, I ended up focusing more on studies rather than interacting with classmates.

I know quite a few people who were bullied and basically wrapped themselves in a cocoon and missed learning important skills (communication, social)

>> Hello, restraining order. <<

Okay, I'll call that. Have you tried to get a restraining order? Do you know what's involved?

I've tried: Here's what you get:

What proof do you have?
What is your relationship to that person?
They deny it, how do you respond?
More bullying, because they know you tried to go through the system, which favors the aggressor because authorities are too busy putting pot smokers behind bars.
>> As much work and data—your data—as Facebook feeds into its targeted advertising, it works at least as hard at figuring out which of your friends’ posts you’re most likely to want to see each time you open the app.

No it doesn't. I want to see everything, in date order. I can hide crap I don't want to see myself.
You're not getting the point:

a) A whole lot of people have been figuratively buried clutching a piece of paper with the title "Restraining Order".

b) cognivore, who knows what he's talking about, was not the harasser. He would have absolutely no intention of violating a restraining order, unless his threat failed, in which case he'd violate it once, but for much, much higher stakes.

Your final statement needs some support, and I don't see any in this topic.
But they weren't accomplishing something important. They had pivoted away from their earlier, exciting product and were essentially an underpaid R&D team.
Yes, but that's the point. I never picked on someone who I felt would fight back. I don't know how I developed this intuition as a kid but it was fairly accurate. The thing is if the kid fought back then I would probably have picked someone else. It must be hard for the bullying victim but it's something that has to be done.

This link you gave is interesting. My corollary to this is as a victim, never do favors for your bullier. It only makes you look weaker in their eyes and it will only spur them on. For me, the only solution is to fight back and make yourself not look an easy target.
A lot of 'work' friends may have garbage taste in restaurants. Exactly.
> "I know this is likely an unpopular opinion but here it goes: what the fuck does this have to do with under-representation in our industry?"

I agree. Aren't woman underrepresented in most STEM jobs anyways? And overrepresented in other jobs like e.g. kindergarten teachers? Woman are just wired differently as men. And perhaps woman are also conditioned differently as men from a young age (girls get to play with dolls, boys with cars and legos). There could be an evolutionary reason for this, since ages ago most men were probably hunters while most woman likely tended to the children.

Of course sexism in tech is bad and we should try to reduce sexism wherever possible, but that's a different issue. I'm not sure we should try to push woman into technology (or fields like construction, etc...), just as I'm not sure we should try to push men into jobs where men are underrepresented.

HSTS isn't a protocol, it bascailly a flag that tells a browser to only use TLS to connect to a specfic domain. It normally does require one successful connection for the server to tell it, but both chrome [0] and firefox [1] have a list of sites built-in so that even the first time they connect they'd be TLS.

Let me be very clear:

Anyone is welcome to conclude that Google+ is dead. Facebook still exists as a company. You personally don't use it. You don't like the font. Whatever...

I don't think it's dead. I use Google+ every day, and I'm looking forward to more of it.

But if a news site is going to make a conclusion, the arguments they use should be logical.

I assert that TechCrunch's specific arguments are not good ones.
If you actually read the contest, 100 people will receive phones in exchange for destroying their current ones.
So you propose "to ignore them and it will go away?" I tried that once. No dice.

Only a disproportional reaction solves the issue, once and for all. Shock and awe.

I suspect cognivore agrees, and perhaps even kjackson (self-described former bully)

Social + YouTube = comments. Whether they are good depends on the implementation and design.

In this particular case, the fact that G+ posts appeared as YouTube comments meant that every comment of a viral G+ video post showed up in YouTube as a series of introductions to the video, instead of… well… comments on it.

Here is a quick example, although it isn't by far the most striking; it is the first I had around.

Sorry I don't have the sources, but I've read a study once that this actually isn't true - bullies do it mainly for the boost in social status, not because they are insecure deep down inside.

I'm afraid thats something people tell themselves to feel better about it.

Is "security" your first priority, or is adding features your first priority? How about uptime? How about profitability?

Only one of those can be your first priority, so which is it?

I think Google+ is also one of their first priorities.
What is the actual advantage of AppCode these days? (Just purely from a user experience point of view.) When I tried it a hile back it kept switching back to XCode for UI Changes, and since the editor for obj-c didn't seem that much better than XCode (and also somewhat more sluggish), I just stopped going back to AppCode after one of these many times it sent me to XCode.

For the record: I love the other Jetbrain IDEs (i.e. RubyMine and Intellij)

I am strongly in favor of the law treating adults who passively or actively enable bullying as it does anyone else who abets or conspires to a crime

That's a good idea. But as you said, it'll never happen. They have all the resources and power to make bullying stop, yet thye don't choose to.
Sorry, but this is a blatant begging of the question:

- "not so long ago everyone thought Facebook was close to saturation"

- "now suddenly they managed to increase the number of users"

Maybe "everyone" was wrong? In any case, faking such numbers on a large scale would require a decent-sized conspiracy among at least a couple of department heads. Also, it would be quite illegal. And, being a digital thing, very easy for someone to prove.

However, it's possible that the way they characterize numbers has changed, but those details would presumably be in the official filings and financial reports. For example, in recent years, the newspapers audit circulation bureau has changed readership numbers to include categories of web users, not just print circulation. And even before the web, the numbers included an estimated number of readers who read non-bought copies of a paper (i.e., papers left at the coffee shop and passed around).

So there could be different standards of counting...in fact, that's a much easier, more legal way of doing things before you start maliciously faking stats.

That's why I emphasized the deterrence factor. If you have to go beyond the occasional punch of a bully, you've already failed.

Also, "kids" are not to my knowledge generally put into such situations in "prison", although I'm sure it does happen.

And, yeah, I do identify with Ender quite a bit.

The main bit of evidence, the surveillance tape, was thrown out because they seized it without warrant (out of concern it'd be destroyed while waiting for one). That's why the felonies went away.
This might work in some cases where the bully is a pathological outlier but if you're in a culture that systematically supports bullying (e.g. Because of race or class), it won't.

Sometimes bullies are the odd one out, but often they simply representing an aspect of the culture that is actually condoned by those around them.

That is, if I can leave comments on X and that comment exists outside of the Google Plus infrastructure?

Or what about: if you can sync your LinkedIn and Facebook address books in GMail.

Microsoft's mail services offer that feature and it is very handy. I have always assumed that GMail doesn't, because Google wants to push Google+. In other words, Google+ is blocking progress in GMail.

Another such example is Hangouts. Hangouts in itself is quite good. However, you get a severely limited version of Hangouts if you do not have a Google+ profile. E.g. you cannot add photos to a conversation on Android without G+ or initiate group conversations. Again, Google+ is blocking progress Hangouts, which could be of great use in business, but most companies probably don't want to enable Google+ in their Google Apps.

While I agree with you that it's more interesting to get recommendation based on similar users, most people have a reasonable idea how their friends tastes in various things mesh with their own.

I know that a particular friend of mine is equally picky about his steaks as me, for example, and I'd trust a recommendation of steak houses from him.

Being able to attach a particular name to recommendations helps them attach a level of trust to the recommendation that regular users might be less inclined to attach to "anonymous" recommendations.

If they're smart, they'll also consider similarity in tastes when deciding which of your friends recommendations to emphasise (especially if more than one of your friends have clashing ratings of the same places).

Social recommendations also helps you "break out" of the filter bubble.

E.g. Amazon has a very specific view of what I like to read, and so on. But people who know me will occasionally be able to provide me with other impulses that leads me to try something entirely new that is very different from what Amazon will recommend to me based on what I've read in the past.
> But when you post something to twitter as a public post, it is a public post and you simply don't have control over the discussion.

There are always shades of publicity. If I took any stupid comments / drunk photos of you on Facebook or Twitter and ran a full-page ad in the NYTimes featuring them, would you say, "well, public is public"? That would be just giving into the slippery slope fallacy.

You've got to be kidding me. Almost all the responses here are positive and this forum is extremely politically correct. Just because there's an occasional bad apple shouldn't be an excuse for you to attack HN in general. Its unfair, overly critical, and frankly turns the bullying discussion into a meta-discussion about HN which is unhelpful.

As someone who's been on the receiving end of HN traffic, its a lot of eyeballs. Its one thing to write a personal blog posting for your 500 readers and whole other to find 500,000 hits that day.
As I said in my other comment, I don't really have answers to how to solve it. I just know that from my experience I ended up knocked out and hospitalized with a fracture in my skull from having my head kicked in by a group of teenagers. A friend of mine was jumped and beaten into a coma for six months. I've read about kids in the newspapers stabbed to death, gang raped while passed out, and worse. I don't think any amount of rage you can throw at the situation will make it better for you if you're being bullied by more than one person.

"Standing up," may work in some scenarios but in those which the OP and I are familiar with it's pointless at best and dangerous at worst.

Update All I did was skip school and show up for tests. Maybe leaving is the only option for some kids.
Having to click on that "?" to be told things like we can't reveal more is quite annoying.
Why link to it in the first place then?

Also, while an element of mystery certainly works in some cases, it doesn't in this case for the simple reason that there is nothing that addresses anything about its utility for me.

In other words, why is becoming a "time mapster" even important? Why should I even care?

So I think focusing on just one page and having some more info on
a) what time mapping is and
b) what's in it for me would work much better.

And that is why I did not leave my email id.

"That number is inflated by adding YouTube users"

They specifically bifurcate the two types of users. There's ~500 million if you count the G+ interactions through youtube and other apps.
Now less switching if any. UI Designer is in and we are working on Project settings (now target adding is possible in EAP).

Also AppCode has a bunch of refactorings and inspections with quick fixes that help you find problems and fix them in Alt+Enter click.

Google's search result pages don't rank high either. I agree that it is a negative, but I do not see the double standard.

To equate Google.com with a scraper site that scrapes StackOverflow and tries to outrank the original by changing publishing date and other nasty tricks is not too sane. There is no double standard and there is no fair comparison.

It is not Matt Cutts who preaches how bad it is; it is the users (you and me) who are complaining about this and asking Google to take action. It is the user metrics showing something is wrong with the quality or experience.

Finally it is about intent. The spirit of the guidelines. It is only when blackhat spammers start exploiting techniques, that those techniques become punishable offences or are taken away. Google gives us popular search keywords? Spammers will automatically create crappy pages to target those. You can get a site to link to you by writing a quality article for their visitors? Spammers will write or outsource crappy articles and ruin article marketing for everyone. You are a charity and you want to create a widget with a link back to your site? Bummer... better add nofollow, because spammers used baity widgets like "Which zombie am I?" to link back to their clients' websites with targeted unrelated keywords.

If you go to the Google search results do you think: Damn what a commercial site! Animated ads everywhere! And all these scraped results they are trying to rank for without giving credit to the content creators...?

"Ads above the fold" are usually Google's own advertisements. They ding webmasters for forcing their own ads onto their readers. So it is a decision about quality and reputation, not money or bullying small sites.

Do the all-things-being-equal test. Two sites equal in all regards, yet one has animated advertisements above the fold. Which one would satisfy your users the most? It's a tiny factor, but it is there. And it is there for a good, not a nefarious, reason.
I started when G+ launched. 5500+ circlings, 2500+ to my first product page. Now I'm lucky if I get a single comment or +1. Meanwhile, I have 81 friends on Facebook and 10 followers, and it's a rare post that doesn't get comments and likes.
Buzz users loved that too and used it every day. Until Google unceremoniously shot it through the head.

You almost never want to also include the subdomains, unless you have a wildcard SSL certificate.

I made that mistake, couldn't reach any other subdomain of my site because only 1 was protected by ssl. Clearing that HSTS header information is not so easy..
On MR the other day I saw a good post mention that one way to look at an argument is to see whether the author is taking the attitude 'can I believe this?' or 'must I believe this?' It's clear OP is the latter.
I go to many craft beer festivals just to "taste" new beers. My main goal when attending beer festivals isn't to get drunk, but to taste a diverse list of new beers. It would be a big win for me if I could sample more and get drunk less.
