Some of the critique that she receives is good, and is asked by intelligent people. But then she goes on to this event and only answer the assholes and trolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah8mhDW6Shs

She would win a lot of respect to me if she answered some of the constructive critique rather than disabling comments on YouTube and only answer assholes. I can understand why she disables comments on YouTube, because YouTube comments are horrible, but she can address it in a video our an article, I think her videos are interesting and to the point but silencing good questions are bad in my opinion.

And since it have to be mentioned: Deaththreats are never acceptable, and criminal behaviour should be punished.

> There are just some conversations that cannot be had "civilly"

I think here lies our disagreement. I do believe that you can talk about anything in a civil manner. Being polite is completely orthogonal to the topic discussed. In this case, "please stop spamming" is just a more polite way of saying "stop spamming", period. The difference is in tone, not context, and this is how the word "please" is supposed to be used. Also, what goodside said was not "please stop spamming", but "please tell your employees to stop creating fake profiles (...) and spamming our users". Which is a request, not an order.

Accusations have nothing to do with civility. Telling me "please stop beating your wife" when I'm beating my wife is valid, just like saying "please stop spamming" is valid here because they're spamming. If you believe goodside is dishonest about Dating Ring's employees spamming OKCupid, address that.

There's a point that you might be missing. Similar to how you have people purchasing and maintaining powerful machines to mine bitcoin, you also have people using their spare HDD space or potentially buying dedicated storage to support the "distributed dropbox" system. The reason is that there is an incentive for doing so. You get paid for the storage/resources you provide. This adds to its scalability because any addition to the system is not only paid for but profitable.
intentionally fueling controversy for financial gain

There are people that do this - rightwing talk radio and the goldbugs are the usual examples - but whipping up a hate campaign against yourself? That carries a risk of people believing it and murdering you? This is not a plausible thing.

People can spend what they want on kickstarter. Star Citizen has raised $55m and so far not delivered anything.
Yep, that sounds like normal fear-mongering to me.
If a threat was issued, did nobody tell the police? Per the quote above they don't appear to know.

I think threatening someone is vile. Our society is based on free speech, and free speech is most key when it is unpopular speech: popular speech doesn't need defending by its nature. That's why flag burning is legal.

However if the police are really unaware of the threats made, I wonder if this is another "Meg Lanker-Simons" incident[0] (feminist false-flag).

You're absolutely correct. It will be difficult for them. It will be even more difficult depending if they've just purchased the coin or have held it for a while.
"But on Tuesday, the director of the centre and others received an email threatening a "massacre style attack" if the talk proceeded."

There is an inherit sexism even in the response to this. If this was an email threat targeting say, a kindergarden, or a presidential visit, there would be federal law inforcement coming down hard looking for the source of the email. The specter of "terrorism" would be most certainly be invoked.

Instead we have "enhanced security measures." Because apparently it's not terrorism if the target is women.
>If you doubt this, I invite you to do the same. It really opened my eyes. Calling GG about misogyny or even about feminism has never been anything more than a form of well poisoning.

In any case that well is poisoned now. You can either continue to argue in favor of misogyny, because that is what is associated with GamerGate and that is what it represents at this point, beyond anything anyone "involved" in the "control poitns" might want; or you can support human rights and women's rights.

It's irrelevant whether the harassment is organized or not. It's supported tacitly by the very existence of GamerGate at this point.

By supporting GamerGate, you are contributing in some small way to the inevitable death of one of these women. You are committing memetic terrorism. And you are just as culpable for the violence as everyone else involved: wholly. You are pulling the trigger, you are landing the blows. When the blood comes, it will be on your hands.

I don't believe that's at all the intention. However, I am quite interested in this approach, and will be watching Webmaker closely as they roll out a similar scheme.

Yep; it was not the massacre threat but the refusal to deny concealed carry that prompted Anita to cancel her event. The title implies a wrong causality like that.

Ah okay thanks. The partnership sounds great and I know it's really freaking challenging but I hope in the future to see:

1. Native Mac OS X support (so Mac Apps can also be in containers)
2. Being able to mix container operating systems with other host operating systems.

If that ever happens then operating systems and their versions would pretty much no longer matter; you could run anything anywhere without compatibility issues. I feel like this is something that has to eventually happen no matter what I'm just always curious what form(s) it will take.

No, that is not all she did. She traded sexual favors for favorable game reviews for with multiple people.

Frankly is is disgusting that anyone would be supporting this kind of behavior.
> Because running a Hyper-V virtual machine is significantly more resource intensive than running a true Docker container.

I suspect that no one really cares. CPUs are pretty cheap. The problem that docker solves is "0 dependency single-step installs, and reliable rollbacks" not "VMs are too slow".

This is true on Linux too, btw- linux containers are still pretty feeble from a security perspective, without draconian seccomp sandboxing.
You know, there's more than a bit of history with this, and it's never come to pass.

For example, of all the recent mass shooting events, only one didn't happen in an ironically official "No Gun Zone", the Arizona congresswoman shooting. Turns out a concealed carrier showed up just as the shooter was getting wrestled to the ground. Surprise, surprise, he didn't shoot.

So you're just libeling people like me. Who you clearly know nothing about.

One day I hope humanity will grow out of its adolescence, burn away the waste that is GamerGate and the Westboro Baptist Church and weev and all the nazis, all the neckbeards, all the Koch Brothers everywhere, and become something beautiful.

I'm not holding my breath though.
Not really. Even trained police officers often hurt bystanders when firing their weapons:

If a trained cop does it, I think it is legitimate to be concerned about a member of the public firing their weapon, no matter what their intent.

I believe she's been receiving harassment and death threats from well before the recent "gamergate" stuff.

But is that data that ends up in the lib*.so's?

I can see that possibly optimizing within GCC (or LLVM if it supports it) but I have no clue for library shared/static objects.
Then it should be easy to refute, right? Here's the scenario:

People are screaming, someone is shooting, you don't know who. You see bodies on the ground, they're bleeding. Then you see someone come around the corner holding a handgun out, they are dressed like a student, you draw your concealed carry and out of fear for your own life you shoot that person. Turns out both you and them are concealed carry. Opps.

Explain why that scenario is unlikely/won't happen/can't happen. If it is "fear mongering" that should be trivial for you.

You're mistaken if you think that decentralized movements cannot be trivially co-opted. By their very nature, they are controlled by those who speak the loudest and command the largest audience.

So I must ask, who on your side of the #GamerGate hashtag speaks louder and and commands more followers than Adam Baldwin?

If you do not possess the social capital to overpower the voices of unabashed harassers, then your continued association with the hashtag only damages your cause.

(Note that I speak as someone who once worked in games "journalism" and is completely fed up with how shitty it is (not that the games industry at large is really giving me much to hope for).)
A week ago Mark Suster wrote an interesting article about the definition of a "seed round":

> If it looks like an A-round, smells like an A-round & tastes like an A-round … it’s an A-round. My personal definition? It is less about actual money and more about structure of your Cap Table. If you have raised $2-4 million from a bunch of high-net-worth individuals I simply don’t see it as an A-round. If you raised $2 million from two small seed funds I probably don’t either (although in the past I would have). But if you raised $3-5 million from well-known seed funds or from a VC and you’re asking for $8-10 million in your next round … that next round is a B-round no matter what we collectively decide to call it when we VCs fund you.
Docker images already weren't portable between Linux/x86-64, Linux/ARM, and Linux/Power, so Windows/x86-64 is one more platform. I wouldn't be surprised to see Illumos/x86-64 at some point.
I'm guessing you don't know many folks who carry? Off-duty police, former military, parents and plumbers. Not a lot to fear. In fact lots of cases its been shown to be safer to have such folks around.
That process you describe excites me on so many levels. I'm literally giddy at the possibilities of developer and ops productivity. All we have to do now is not mess it up :)
Lockheed announces breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy
Ahh, well the presumption is that the Police would say something like "please don't share these threats with the internet, just leave it with us". I would imagine that is what they would say. The logic being that it just gives the harassers more fuel. I'd hope that the police were being sensitive and helpful in this case.

I imagine that the police did not give any recommendations about the event, that they neither suggested she cancel or to go ahead.

My comment was asking questions about why someone would choose to publicise active threats against their person, assuming that police would have warned against it. I can imagine some scenarios where someone would choose to go against those recommendations - I imagine things must be very stressful and fraught.

Perhaps with Twitter, any threats are already public and so there could be no point not sharing them? Perhaps there is greater value in highlighting the online abuse and having a large amount of online support for ones cause than suffering in silence and trusting ones fate to the professionals?

I think our online networks are sorely missing effective abuse filters and controls.

No, that is not all she did. She traded sexual favors for favorable game reviews for with multiple people.

No, she didn't. This talking point has been repeated over and over despite the fact that it is factually incorrect - she did, it seems, sleep with a reviewer once. Who never reviewed her game, and only ever wrote anything about her months before they slept together.

The really laughable thing is that if this was really a campaign about corruption in games journalism then there is a ton of it to go around - numerous publications have deeply unhealthy connections to large game companies, like EA. But instead everyone goes after one independent game developer who slept with a guy who never reviewed her game.

The problem is that you have a very narrow point of view. You're also limiting your viewpoint to just equality as opposed to going beyond it to ask 'what is fair?'.

"I've read some blogs during this whole thing that have made me enlightened to things I didn't know. This woman said how rape is something that polices women's lives. They have a narrow corridor. They can't go out late, they can't go to certain neighborhoods, they can't get a certain way, because they might get-That's part of me now that wasn't before."

"Halfway through the new special, C.K. starts talking about how dating is an act of bravery for all involved. “The male courage, traditionally speaking, is that he decided to ask” a woman out. (Note the careful caveat, 'traditionally speaking.') And if the woman says yes, 'that’s her courage.' That kind of courage, he says, is beyond his imagining. 'How do women still go out with guys, when you consider that there is no greater threat to women than men? We’re the number one threat to women! Globally and historically, we’re the number one cause of injury and mayhem to women.' A moment later he adds, speaking for all men, 'You know what our number one threat is? Heart disease.'"

GamerGate is very probably a hate group, with no other legitimate purpose. they're known to send people into forums like this to argue politely and coherently that the "movement" is 100% legitimate. typically the person who comes onto a site like this, to argue in that manner, also makes virtiolic sexist and racist claims elsewhere, typically 8chan (previously 4chan - yes, these people are so fucked up that even 4chan banned them).

the specifics of the GamerGate swindle are very, very interesting for understanding how social media works, and can be misused.

The formatting on your comment is messed up, hopefully this helps:

I should have added that I'm a .NET developer who's recently returned working with in an open source shop. The problem I see is not that they don't have good tools or relevant solutions for real world problems. The problem I see is I'm in my late thirties and I find myself to be one of the younger developers when I go out to MS related user groups and events.

Spending time in the open source world with younger developers, it's clear the only value they get from Microsoft is for their gaming machines at home. While a number of them respect the development tools, it doesn't matter because Microsoft has done a great job tying it to the Windows titanic.

I recall interviewing with a number of companies in the mid 90's and talking with the programmers who worked with DEC based tools. The ones I talked to had nothing but good things to say about their tools and systems and how they had real implementations of various systems that PC's were trying to implement at the time. I can't help but look back and find myself in the same position on a course towards becoming irrelevant in 10-20 years.

I guess what I was trying to get at is Microsoft is going to have to make a considerable effort to focus on luring the generation they lost if they want to remain relevant. That generation of developers isn't simply going to pony up for slightly better tools. They demand having access to software when it's available so they can download it immediately with one of twenty different package managers.

I'm not predicting Microsoft's doom, but I am saying that Microsoft is facing an incredible number of challenges that will make "do everything" a bad strategy. On too many fronts they're faced with competition that ranges any from inferior to superior, but free. In development tools, they're up against a huge community of open source tools with some of them funded by huge companies whose revenues don't depend on the sale of software. MS Office's share is eroding, not just to direct competition, but to indirect alternatives that posit that complicated word processors and spreadsheets are the wrong answer.

I also don't think Microsoft can do everything because software is going through a Cambrian type of explosion where you're seeing all sorts of manifestations of species and hybrids. Sure a lot of these species will die out, but as we witness new species of databases and operating systems it will be difficult for a large company like Microsoft to predict which ideas it needs to pay attention to and which to ignore. Adapting the complicated markets is an incredible challenge, but there are companies that have done a remarkable job staying on top.

I prefer the model where nobody has guns, including the police. Maybe specialist armed units, but your average street cop shouldn't have a firearm: they aren't well trained enough.

It is a proven model. It works. Plus even if you argue "people can just use knives instead," it still stops mass shootings.
So the Nexus 4, which is just under 2 years old, won't support Lollipop? Considering the device is from Google and not through a carrier I would expect better. No pricing on the Nexus 6 but I would expect it will cost a lot more than Nexus devices have in the past. And at only 1 inch less than their Nexus 7 tablet it seems ridiculously large. At what point is it a tablet that makes calls and not a phone?

Nexus Player is very interesting though - but again it all depends on the price which they haven't mentioned.

Edit:

As people below have pointed out they changed the page to include the Nexus 4 after my post.
I've bought every nexus phone when they were released, but I'm not sure about this one. The nexus 5 is already a bit oversized IMO. This thing is ridiculous.
