I hate to be that guy, but when you see the twitter account, you only have some reports of tweets like this, that's not how the situation is going to be improved. I agree it's outrageous to see people like this, but their twitter account is effectively completely useless to promote their message, I have to scroll down ~100 tweet to have something useful about video games. Their twitter account is effectively doing some publicity to this kind of message by posting only this kind of content.
Perhaps we define social skills differently... or it's just the wrong word (probably).

But I do think a lot of the aggression towards women stem from insecurity and lack of ability to comfortably converse with opposite gender. Those in my mind are social skills.
Anita Sarkeesian is a professional troll, those tweets are the products of her work.
Webmaster tools will tell you about duplicate titles even if there are only a few. A few duplicate titles won't penalize your rankings. Perhaps this is your case. I've definitely seen results for sites that have had 60% of their page titles as dupes.

You also have to realize that it's very important on what you are changing the them to. You should have done keyword research to see how often people are searching for particular terms. If you changed the title to be a non-duplicate but used some obscure words that a normal person would never use, you won't see many results.

Titles are just one piece of the pie, they should be consistent with everything else on the entire page, including the meta description, headings, content, image alts, links, etc.
Yeah, but that's a really stupid attitude. In what way are images of a person inciting hatred or calling people to violence?

Denying the Holocaust is a hell of a lot different than saying, "Hey! Look! Here's a picture of a person!"
I don't understand what you mean. What are you referring to?
Wow we're linking tumblr now? Brand new low...
It's not so crazy; imagine you're running a business that operates in both the US and an Arab League nation such as Lebanon.

The laws of Lebanon require you to observe a boycott of any products and services that originate in or transit through Israel. Meanwhile the laws of the US forbid you from observing the Arab Boycott of Israel. What do you do?

I don't think it's right that only "corporate reptiles" should bother to comply with the laws of the countries in which they operate.

Your position seems to be that the only moral thing to do in the face of an ethical commitment that conflicts with a legal commitment, is to either disregard the legal commitment or realign your business so you are not subject to it. But, when the conflict is sufficiently limited (see below), and dodging the legal obligation would also compromise your ethical commitment, what's wrong with, say, complying with the legal commitments while agitating to have it changed?

Is it your view that the people of Turkey would be better off, from a free expression perspective, with no Facebook at all than with a Facebook that obeys domestic laws requiring it to remove a very limited amount of content? The situation might be different if we were talking about a government that required Facebook to drastically and systematically distort the discourse on its service (as in China, by many accounts). But here we're just talking about removing a few imagines deemed to be highly offensive to the dominant religion.

I'm a developer, but my iPad is my primary computing device while at home. My laptop died about a year ago, and I decided to save money and just use the iPad that I got as a Christmas bonus. About the only thing I ever feel I lack is legacy support for older Windows games. With the occasional keyboard pairing for longer emails, I would say that the only thing it really lacks is the ability to archive photos from my camera. Maybe I'm in the minority here in that I specifically don't do any development or really intense computing tasks at home, but I think that my use case mirrors much of the non-technical world. I know of many people who use iPads as their primary computing devices.

I think it's more accurate to say that tech journalists don't know what an iPad is good for anymore.
Heh, oh don't worry. I get a very large equity stake and take my fair share of the profit. The great thing about doing these sorts of projects over straight volunteering is that the positive impact on society comes with a business model and large financial incentives.
I think when he says "we," he is probably from Europe, where hate speech laws are much stronger than in America, where they basically don't exist.
Yes. Deal with it. If would have made a top hacker news post everytime someone insulted me in the net i would be rich by now.

Just f*ing deal with it.
I agree with you about recruiters, but that would still leave the rest of the chain in place. So instead of getting your candidates through recruiters, you put out job ads and get candidates. This might improve your success rate in getting good candidates in for that first interview…

But after that? If an employer is still doing fizz buzz, adding branches to binary trees, seeing if they can write an outer join, quizzing them about ruby syntax - the approach is still pretty bad. Just not quite as bad as when they start with a recruiter.

My goal is to never do another technical interview again. The way I'm trying to do this is by expanding my contacts - and I don't mean exchanging business cards, I mean open source projects where I work technically with a large and wide spread group of people in a number of different organizations. People think you need to be some "rock star" to do this, but really, you don't. Keep in mind, it doesn't need to be the equivalent of being a major contributor to rails or the apache server. They can be business apps with a smaller install base and maybe a dozen or so developers. The key is, at any given moment, there are several dozen developers at perhaps 6-12 organizations that wouldn't need to ask you about binary tree traversal because they have already worked extensively with you. You've done presentations and code reviews, you've made contributions to the code base, you've fixed bugs. If they had a question about certain tech issues, they'd probably call or email you.

Unfortunately, this still describes a relatively small number of jobs. Most orgs aren't willing to make their own code base open source (reducing hiring opportunities for developers), and almost by definition most people doing this already have jobs (reducing hiring opportunities for employers_s who want to get away from the unpleasantness of the hiring process. Get involved in meaningful open source projects, and develop a good reputation for your work. Blog about your technical breakthroughs. See if you can speak at conferences.

I also would say that this isn't at all easy, and that people with this sort of ability are likely to find other opportunities outside software development with better pay and greater career prospects.

Would that really be so bad for users in Turkey? Maybe a blanket ban of Facebook and other popular sites would encourage a change in government. This appeasement just enables authoritarian censorship.

I have a tough time imagining that they would generate (taking this word to mean "create") child porn. I could easily see them taking what they've found and publishing it however.
This summer I went on a 3 week road trip around the Southwest US. Went to 7 or 8 national parks, camping mostly with some random hotels. I had access to mobile Internet but I wanted to experiment with a full 3 week news hiatus. In that time I didn't use the internet on my phone (except navigation when lost), read any newspaper, listen to non-music radio, or watch TV.

The strangest thing was that when I got home, I really hadn't missed anything. In a normal day I read dozens of articles and consume news from so many sources that when I got home I expected to have to catch up. But I really didn't. I think we consume a lot of information just because its there, but so little remains relevant a few days or weeks later.
There has surfaced quite a few additional approaches now, and I'll try to incorporate all of them into the post.
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.

As with so many things it is merely a new twist on an old problem.

It is silly to expect a company to not comply with local law. Do we expect Facebook to give up its business in the US if it decides tomorrow that it doesn't agree in principle with some aspect of American law?

If Facebook was censoring content in America to assuage Turkey, there would be a good reason to gripe about it. It is not doing that.

A week in Jamaica when I was 15. That was 11 years ago.
The most recent episode of This American Life (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/545/i...) has Jezebel writer Lindy West reach out and talk to one of her trolls who created a page celebrating her father's death and claiming she was a disappointment to him. He sent her an apology after realizing there was an actual person on the other end of his trolling and they actually have a remarkably civil conversation about the incident. It's highly worth listening to.
It is. But people rather make crybaby posts on HN and Reddit for Karma instead of informing the authorities. So it cant be that Bad.
It's an idea for communication/social networking apps, that have a camera feature built in. It is not available in any app so far, but I'd love to see someone pick it up.

Basically turn the phone sideways and the camera turns on. Turn it back to portrait and you are back in your app.
To add to what famitsu said, 20 years ago was the waning years of the SNES and the early days of the PlayStation. Graphics may not have been photorealistic, but the beauty of e.g. Final Fantasy VI, or the early 3D of e.g. WipE'out", was several steps above Super Mario Bros.
Most countries, including USA, have "censhorship regimes". They just vary in scope and targeting.

Many companies could decide not to operate in USA due to the snooping, gagged court orders, civil rights attacks, selective and repressive law enforcement, etc.

I get this is a hard issue to speak in "western" sites because many see it as "us vs them" but let me tell you, I could easily subdivide "us" many times and make your portion "them".
> censorship

China wanted to censor inconvenient history. Turkey wants to censor offensive (to them) religious images. I think that's the important comparison, not the size of the market.
Please do a constructive comment instead of downvoting me, I'm not posting any spam here. I just fail to see how only posting this kind of tweets is going to promote their cause in any ways, just have a look at their twitter account.
That sounds like Cycle Oregon, except they limit the participants to 2,000.
The YouTube slowdown is just using the YouTube API. For mp3, it is using the html5 file and audio Apis, and a JavaScript port of the sound touch library. Everything is done in client side javascript, there is currently no application server, just a static site.
Nope, still wrong (not 'arguably wrong', plain factually wrong). That's not how 'fair use' works - it's not because you send a part (what you call a 'clip') of a work, that it becomes fair use all of a sudden.
Blocking access to pages from countries where the court order was issued seems entirely reasonable to me. GitHub does the same[1].

The censorship here is the responsibility of the Turkish government, not Facebook. It's supposedly a democratic country so maybe even represents the will of the people living there.

And anyway, when social sites block "objectionable" pages on their own or under criticism, but with no involvement of the legal system, anyone who complains about censorship is quickly shut down with arguments that it's a private company under no obligation to protect free speech. Why expect them to defy sovereign states when they usually can't handle a little outrage on Twitter?

Lots of our users use their business address (B2B service) and that wouldn't work.

On the one hand I wish a service could filter mailinator, 10-minute-mail, trash-mail addresses (each have hundreds of domain aliases), on the other hand I'm using anonymous email myself sometimes so I'm glad it doesn't exist.
Did we ever know? I will concede that it was good for the random user doing some casual internet use while watching TV before phones got big enough for that, but I would contest if it ever had a single unique use other than that even at launch. Any device with a single purpose seems likely to fail, I think.

>Innovations like automatic transmission

I'd count that (or indeed, tablets) an 'innovation' in the same way as PRISM or systemd. Sure, it is one in that it's new and a different approach and even helps a very specific class of users, but not a net positive. I guess that's just the state of the world though, that we will always be forced to accept 'innovation' that does nothing but make life hard for the power user, the enthusiast, the person with an above-room-temperature IQ.

>had to be “far better” than a phone or a laptop

That's where it gets interesting, I think. As stated above, better than a phone contemporary to its launch, yes, but it was never better than a laptop bar "easier to pick up and carry around", which rarely applied to what are so often sofa-bound devices, or shoved into a backpack on a long journey at most.
I'm a regular backpacker and it's wonderful to leave it all behind.
I don't think it's fair to equate the barrage of foul insults Anita is receiving, with her simply saying: look at what I have to put up with.

It would be entirely possible for Twitter to create various community driven feedback mechanisms, they just don't want to.

Plenty of online communities have various moderation systems, including HN that hugely reduce the potential for abuse, trolling and bullying - and most don't require your real identity.
Agreed, but obviously, that would be not a great headline.

The point of this is exactly to reduce the library size AND getting to a stable 1.0 release. By making the class system optional, it becomes an optional dependency which reduces the library size. Supporting only createClass in a stable 1.0 release would mean that we're stuck with that dependency.

The way we see it, ES6 and 7 are around the corner and then the createClass dependency becomes optional.

Ask HN: Can technology make us feel safer?
Over the past few decades, there has been a measurable increase in our fear of personal safety.

In 1975, Roger Hart, an environmental psychologist, studied the children of a town in Vermont. Forty years later, he returned to what had changed. Children who used to have free range of the town now felt uncomfortable leaving their own properties. The parents of these children wanted to know that their kids were safely within reach at all times, even those parents who once had the run of the town. [The podcast Invisibilia interviews Hart here.](http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/377515477/fearless?showDate=2015-01-16)

TV shows like To Catch a Predator have impregnated the idea that danger lurks around every corner. Bullies use the internet to attack kids even when they're at home.

Technology improves lives in countless ways. Can it be used to make people feel safer, particularly when it comes to their children?

Do devices like GPS Children Trackers, or internet monitoring actually make us feel safer, or do they just reinforce the worry that the world is a dangerous place?

Its called RAGBRAI (ragbrai.org) which stands for "Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa". The Des Moines Register sponsors it. Been going on since the 70's, when a columnist invited readers to accompany himself and his wife on a cross-state ride. 200 people showed up to the 1st one; today there's from 10,000 to 25,000 people per day depending on the proximity of larger cities etc.

Its like a fair in each town we go through - with food stands and entertainment and beer garden and the main street blocked off for a block party. The 'overnight towns' have that times 10. My family camps with an outfitter hauling our gear; we bike all day with just a bike pack and a wallet.

The whole week is around 450 miles, more or less depending on the route each year. This year's route has been announced; check the website!

Out-of-state riders can sign up with OOS (Out Of State - an outfitter specializing in visitors) or with any other club you can contact. Mine is BIC (Bicyclists of Iowa City), one of the ride sponsors. They haul gear and reserve campground space for the group including a pavilion tent, beer coolers and solar-powered showers and cellphone charger.
Talking about unsavoury experiences is a very valuable method of dealing with them.

Perhaps what you really meant was, shut up and take the abuse quietly? Not a very helpful suggestion.

As someone who regularly assigns the question you asked as homework (in an advanced physics course, mind you), let me put in a word of advice: don't think of what you're aiming for as "learn[ing] the formulas". In my experience, that mindset (which fits so very well in most high school science classes) is the single most common stumbling block for college-level physics students.

Equations and formulas exist purely in service to concepts. If you can't tell a story about "what's really going on" (qualitatively) without reference to the equations, then (in most cases) you probably shouldn't try to use the equations, either. I see student after student try to solve complicated problems via "equation hunting", where they just dig through their notes or the textbook looking for formulas that have the right variables in them, and then look for ways of combining them to find an answer. (Sometimes their thinking is a step more sophisticated than that, but it's a characteristic pattern.) Students start to become experts in physics once their mental model of the subject transforms from a jumbled pile of independent equations into a network of concepts with equations like little neurons binding them together.
The circle? I didn't see her threatening to kill or rape anyone. I'm pretty sure she's not putting it out there as retribution. It'd be pretty ineffective retribution considering the offenders put it out there themselves. I believe the point was to show how bad the harassment has become.

There are clearly both bigoted and inclusive gamers. I don't think anyone is saying "all gamers are sexist." But there is clearly a problem here that's worth discussing.

Are you asking how airbnb could have spent money to attract users? For example, they could have spent money to provide a discount (charge the guest $100, pay the host $200, both are more likely to join than at a market rate of $150). Also, they could have acquired hosts by offering a guarantee, such as paying for 3 nights a month if they don't have at least 3 nights worth of guests. There are also more general techniques like advertisements and salespeople and such.
Ultimately, I decided this is what I want to do. I wanted to learn more about the Windows ecosystem anyway, so why not learn the missing bits from C# and .NET (which I came to F# without), and then be able to continue working in a language I love with enough know how to help fill in those gaps myself. Besides, having that under my belt can hardly hurt my career; the nice thing about F# is the related skills are also well in demand too, and a lot more pleasant to code in than some other hosted FP languages ...
