> But it's patently obvious that Anaya is a criminal

A criminal in what manner? What act did he commit that harmed another person or that was in some way or another unethical or immoral? Whom did he cheat?

He isn't a criminal in that sense at all. He's a criminal for breaking a vaguely worded and open-to-interpretation law that seems unconstitutional on its face.

When the government writes a bad law here and there, it's just the inevitable mistakes that we hope will be eventually corrected. But when the government writes one bad law after another, with never a good one in between, "criminal" ceases to mean anything.

> He witnessed $800,000

And? I find it hilarious how we've been taught and propagandized to think that money is, itself, horrible and incriminating. They have our bank tellers spying on us for the IRS, fuck, I don't even think you can buy a new car with cash without someone phoning it in to the feds. And whatever you do, don't dare drive out-of-state down a highway with money like that... cops are likely to steal it.

> Do the people in this thread think that getaway drivers on bank robberies should get off scot free because driving a car is not itself a crime?

Apparently you're ready to indict the guy that sold him the car, and the gas station attendant that didn't call it in to the police when he saw them filling up the tank.
TotalBiscuit supports GG, and he's the most trustworthy person reporting on games out there. (He's also received threats for his stance, though he did not receive a series of news articles reporting them.)

I wanted to verify for myself that said claims were true, and video-capped facebook chatlogs where she admits her intent are pretty hard to convincingly fake.

She's not the issue, though. The journalists who accepted such favors in exchange are the issue.

Why are you trying to focus on a woman's sex life instead of the journalist's poor ethical behavior?
I think what you call "effort" in the first point could probably also be called violence. Things like How fast you can run and how far you can throw are skill based, the only non skill based aspect of the game that I can think of is how hard you're willing to hit.
Before anyone jumps to any conclusions these threats are anonymous and nobody knows if they are tied to any group.

There have been a series of feminists who make fake Twitter accounts to threaten themselves and later on were proven to be hoaxes for attention.

Apparently they can create all of the fake Twitter accounts they want, sign out, and take a picture of it 12 minutes later. Then log back into the account and delete all of the history.

The news media just has to believe them, because they believe that these anonymous people are behind death and rape threats to everyone. Even if the Twitter accounts doing the threats have the same IP as the feminist's accounts. Sometimes the police catch the feminists and arrest them for filing a false report.

This fake rape and fake death threats and fake sexual assaults are nothing new:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_lacrosse_case

Feminists will keep doing this stuff to get popular, and attention, and speaking gigs, and sell books and promote blogs and websites.

They think by faking this stuff they raise awareness for it.

With this past history of hoaxes, it is hard to tell with each new case of harassment if it is real or just another hoax for attention.

If real she and her family have my deepest sympathies, if fake she will be found out eventually I guess?

You meant one journalist, who never reviewed her game and mentioned her once before they started dating, right?

I've watched this unfold and it was rather starkly different from the charming story you're telling. On the off chance that you aren't intentionally spreading propaganda, here are a few links which cover how things actually happened:

Probiotics contain individual bacterial species, to help people who might be missing that one species, where we know that species serves an important function—they make sense for the same reason people missing one nutrient would take a supplement for that one nutrient (e.g. vitamin C.)

The alternative to taking one of these foecal pills would be to take lots of different probiotics, in appropriate portions, over time. This is, after all, what animals do naturally to create gut microbiomes in the first place. (It's hypothesized that this is why we like the taste of things like blue cheese: maximizing gut-biome biodiversity is apparently good for reproductive fitness, so we've evolved to enjoy the taste of things with novel bacteria on them.)
The Borland compilers were single-pass compilers; they did not go through an AST, but generated machine code directly from parser input. Also, the original Turbo Pascal compiler was written in assembly language. (Not sure about the later compiler versions used by BP and Delphi.)

Also, the language was quite simple. With large, complex programs, the most time-consuming stage was in the linking of the final binary.

If you want a similarly fast compiler today, look at Go.

How optimistic are you that the compilation speed can be significantly increased? Are there a lot of easy optimizations available or is this just the price paid for extra compile time safety?

I'm not really a fan of Go but waiting for the compiler can be a pretty significant productivity killer on larger projects. Their fast compilation times are a pretty big selling point for what is (IMO) an otherwise underwhelming language design.
> They also didn't have the zero-cost memory safety abstractions that Rust has.

No, but it is was better than what C and C++ have.

> Nor did they do much optimization.

I don't use them since the late 90's, but they used to be comparable to contemporary C and C++ MS-DOS/Windows compilers.
That is incorrect. Derivative works must respect every copyright license that is included in it, regardless of type.

A project can have BSD, Apache, MIT and GPL licensed software parts, and the derivative work must respect all the licenses when distributed. You can not "make" them GPL.

Trying to re-license something is like printing your own permission to enter a train. Its not only illogical, its illegal.
I have no interest in taking sides in #gamergate but it should be pointed out that someone trying to make #gamergate look bad could have posted the threats on twitter.

As heated and complex as this dustup has become you really can't take anything at face value any more. Its become a pretty intense propaganda war by both sides, or maybe all sides, so unless you have posts from a verified account or video of someone saying something you should take just about everything else with a grain of salt.

Its pretty naive to think anyone knows the true motives of someone posting with a probably throw away twitter account.
Twitter is not an investigation authority. Nor should they be. Report it to the proper authorities.

None of your suggestions are going to do anything but aggravate the offender further, which is the entire point of the post you've replied to.

It's like suggesting Snapchat monitor and deny underaged teens from from taking suggestive photos.

Nathan Grayson is one of the accused people. He's written a few articles on Kotaku painting her game in a positive light. Kotaku is a Gawker Media site - one of the two sites you've linked to. You can see why your evidence might not be taken so seriously in this context.

Robin Arnott is also one of the accused people. While not a journalist, he is one of the judges for Indiecade. Her game won an award on last year's indiecade, winning over Papers, please and other titles - quite a clear conflict of interest.

Kyle Orland is also one of the accused people. You can see an article on depression quest by him right here: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/08/what-depression-quest-...

There has also been unearthed that the IGF, which granted awards to Fez in two separate years, had judges who all had a financial investment in it, and according to Edmund McMillen, there was direct decision to cause it to win because of this, not on it's own merits.

These are the sort of things people backing gamergate are angry about. Few people are interested in harassment campains, despite what the opposing side claim.
How about pointing me (and the others reading this thread) towards the chat logs where she admits to sleeping with journalists in exchange for positive reviews.

The hashtags original intent existed for only a short period of time. It's like saying we shouldn't call Hitler a murderous dictator because he was so sweet and friendly as a child.
And may be Square should let him go as well?
It's a shame how much inconsistency there is in applying the letter of the law in different cases.

Did Anaya suspect illegal activity with his traps? Probably. But, perhaps he doesn't agree that drugs should be illegal and was intentionally trying to sidestep the law as written.

That happens all the time for a variety of different laws. Heck, it's the cornerstone of tax avoidance techniques used by the rich and connected.

When Illinois tried to ban payday loans by prohibiting loans less than 120-days in duration, did that get rid of payday loan companies? Nope. Payday loan companies simply offered loans up to 121-days in duration. Was that sidestepping the intent of the law? Yep. But, they got away with it because they're wealthy and connected companies.

We should always strive for consistency in justice. Either everyone should be able to "get off on a technicality" or no one should.

Personally, I'm in favor of restrictive justice where people can get off on technicalities. It's makes convictions harder, slanting the system towards "letting 100 criminals walk free to prevent convicting 1 innocent". It also leads to laws evolving via legislative deliberation, not arbitrary reinterpretation via case law.

Of course, I can also live with the "intent of the law" crowd. But, please, can we consistency apply that to all cases?
> How optimistic are you that the compilation speed can be significantly increased? Are there a lot of easy optimizations available or is this just the price paid for extra compile time safety?

The vast majority of compile time for optimized builds (80%-90%) is spent in code generation and optimization in LLVM.

For unoptimized builds, most of the compile time is spent in the typechecker doing type unifications for method lookup. With some optimizations to quickly reject method candidates I suspect this can be greatly improved.

Incremental compilation for the fast turnaround is being worked on and there has been significant progress, to address comex' complaint.

> Their fast compilation times are a pretty big selling point for what is (IMO) an otherwise underwhelming language design.

Go 6g/8g also doesn't do much optimization by comparison to GCC/LLVM. (Rust uses LLVM.)
> I don't use them since the late 90's, but they used to be comparable to contemporary C and C++ MS-DOS/Windows compilers.

There has been an enormous difference in the quality of optimization and code generation since the 1990s, when single-pass compilers such as Turbo Pascal and Delphi were common. At that time you usually went straight from AST to machine code, doing some peephole optimizations along the way, but this is unacceptable today if you want to compete with modern C and C++ compilers (or even Java HotSpot). The introduction of SSA (and along with it GVN, SROA, SCCP, etc.) was a big deal.

EncFS, as you may be aware, only encrypts the contents of the files. The metadata (filename, size, timestamps) is available in clear, and a lot could be inferred from metadata if you don't want to trust others who could access the raw bits.

I think it's worth highlighting that, even if you think you are doing something entirely legal, when a customer mentions your product or service in the context of their illegal operation, you need to politely ask them to leave and sever the relationship, as a matter of self defense.

Take, as a cautionary tale, the case of people teaching other people to beat polygraph tests.
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/08/16/199590/seeing-threats-...

Legal and interesting, but when a "customer" shows up and says "wow, this will really help me beat my government polygraph test", you're apparently supposed to know that that they're talking about an illegal act and that you're being set up. It sucks, but there it is.

Paranoia might lose you some business, but there are worse things.

> Doubling the number of competent-but-not-superstar scientists would about double the marginal discovery rate of science, assuming the scientist-as-prospector model.

Right. I reject that assumption. Because science has nothing to do with luck. You provided zero evidence to suggest that it does.

I would posit that there is substantial skill and talent involved in properly positioning yourself to be one of the "founders of a new field". It has nothing to do with luck.

Since it has nothing to do with luck, doubling or tripling the number of individuals who don't have the capacity to properly position themselves changes nothing. It just wastes resources on useless fields that produce nothing valuable.
I am aware of it.

What I was trying to say, it that if you put a C or C++ compiler against Turbo Pascal or Delphi compiler of the same age, the latter will compile way faster and generate similar code in terms of quality.

If they had received the same investment as C and C++ had become since those days, the situation would still hold.

But history took another path, so it is kind of moot point now.
That thinking is flawed though. A prize doesn't define you by accepting it. When I am given a birthday cake, I don't then become "heuving, the receiver of birthday cakes".

The only reason that really makes sense to decline a prize is if you are heavily opposed to what the institution represents. However, he didn't strike me as anti-intellectual.
My point is that you are taking what should work behind the scenes (common shared secret) and forcing a user interaction (typing or copying out a code) because synchronizing that secret across user accounts on disparate devices is considered "too hard" a problem, even though like I said the browser can be a perfectly good commonality and Persona was on the brink of fantastic innovation on that front.
"I don't want this prize because I don't want to be associated with the Western institution that issues them."
This is very cool. Really love seeing devs doing stuff like this.

I read the papers in the OP and the paper someone linked for you (you're the lazy one, not everyone else) and I still agree with the OP. I suspect you didn't read the papers in the OP because you're not talking about the same things the OP is. The raising the speed limit example is completely irrelevant to the OP's point - we should make certain urban roads narrower because that makes them more friendly to pedestrians and cyclists without making them more dangerous. You can bitch all you want but until you start discussing the article in a reasonable way you're going to get downvoted. Perhaps if HN pisses you off so much you should find a different community to participate in?
Rust compilation times can still be made faster.

Generally I think many people complain too much for what takes a few seconds.

C++ builds are measured in hours, usually require distributed build systems, clever use of forward declarations and cutting class private declarations into static code or PImpl classes to bring it down to something manageable.

Premise: I'm not interested in setting up a server and maintaining it, but I am interested in storing my data on services that can promise, or even better, guarantee, privacy and security.

I have looked at Tahoe-LAFS for a few years now, along with the paid service. In my observations over the last few years, the paid service is getting almost zero attention from the creators. Initially they had it at an enormous cost (like $1 per GB per month) compared to other competitors. In the recent times it has moved to other schemes that are still expensive for many people ($25 per month).

Their products, or rather services, are rarely updated and remain in the TBA (to be announced) status for far too long while other competitors (the "privacy conscious" ones like SpiderOak that cannot truly guarantee it like Tahoe-LAFS can as well as the "what's privacy?" services like Dropbox, Crashplan, Box, Google, Microsoft and Apple, to name just a few) are moving ahead much faster and bringing down prices.

I'm willing to pay a decent enough premium to help privacy guaranteeing services survive and thrive, but this kind of pricing and sluggishness in introducing services from leastauthority.com makes it seem like they don't really want many users to sign up.
I went digging for them and found nothing that was even close to an admission of trading sex for positive coverage, so yeah, your lack of proof discredits your position.
The most straightforward method I've found so far is to do a rendered dump via w3m or lynx.
C++ compilers are very fast (I would say amazingly fast) unfortunately atrocious header only implementations like Boost drags it down. I just did clang++ -E on a single #include of cpp-netlib which depends on Boost asio and the dumped output came to:

$ wc test1

279506 897765 10174700 test1

And this is after enabling dynamic linking which cuts down a few thousand lines. Library writers are not giving compiler writers a break! I find this practice atrocious. People should be able to just import the interface instead the whole implementation of everything (and enable "headers only" feature at the end if so desired to eliminate the need of linking).
One obvious possibility is touch football. I know almost nothing about the strategy and tactics of football, but touch football seems to at least superficially match the general flow of full-contact football. That said, I'm not sure how the offensive and defensive lines would work in 11-man competitive touch football.
What's worse with Dropbox is that it deduplicates data across users. So it's really easy for someone who "needs to know" (like the NSA) as well as people who "would like to know" to "takedown" a single user for something and identify every other Dropbox user who has the same content.
