No coincidence that this was written, apparently, by a youngish white male. This sounds like an effort to impose a code of conduct that only restricts the sort of conduct that frequently bothers him (being accused of having violated social norms that he does not find important--probably because they do not benefit him), while consciously deciding not to address the challenges that face other people online.

Terrorism has a specific meaning -- it's the use of violence or the threat of violence as a tool to create fear and influence the behavior of others, typically in line with a specific ideology.

You could make this argument for any nascent learning institution. Obviously, they're going to do what anyone does when starting a school: pull respected faculty from other schools, start new research programs and import research-in-progress if possible, hire PHDs and other lecturers, and eventually develop an undergraduate program.

And I'd guess that since the Global Innovation Exchange will be the name of the school, that's what the diplomas will say too.

In an initial reading it strongly implies Mayvenn thinks its customers don't know that checks can be redeemed for normal money. There is also a bit of a scale jump from "pay your rent, your car" to "your shoes". But I guess it is implied its $200 shoes.

Since this indeed seem like a pretty insulting way to address a business owner, maybe a more reasonable explanation is that Mayvenn earlier paid commissions in store credits and not actual money? An alternative would be that they pay in some sketchy way that can eventually be turned into normal money. Both alternatives would create a need to reassure prospective clients that they will indeed get real money at the end of the day.

- A private passport service that nobody accepts is no more valuable that the group of people that trust the people doing the verification which as of now is zero. In fact since nations are the arbiters of identity within their border there is not much chance of this changing inside this decade.

- She admits she doesn't understand the technology at all just thinks it fits in with her super unrealistic libertarian ideas

- All governments are bad because they are all in debt! Governments and people budget differently you can't reason about a government as if it were a massive version of your family. This is economics 101.

- The blockchain will help us replace the nation state! The blockchain could provide the basis of a currency, distributed dns, identity etc I'm not seeing how distributed identification has anything to do with replacing centralized government or that that's even a good thing paying for just want you personally use and want is in fact an incredibly stupid idea.

The kinds of things you actually WANT government to take over are exactly the kind of things that the free market is bad at and precisely because it is bad at it. How much national defense do you want this year citizen!

- Getting fake married on the internet is so much safer! Of course because its not real. Real marriage implies legal and moral obligations. Those obligations are complex because peoples lives are complicated and include lots of complicating entanglements like money, shared obligations, houses, kids.

In fact if you acquire all those complicating factors you wont find your fake marriage much easier to extricate yourself from.

I agree with the spirit of this, but "we are all adults" is a bit overly-specific. There are people that are not yet adults that contribute to open source too. Maybe "we are all rational?"
> Then how will you notice if some of the people doing technical things are specifically giving more insight or more benefit of the doubt based on gender, sexuality, skin tone, culture, or religion?

We don't care. Or, to be completely intellectually honest, at least I don't. I'm interest in the output and the ideas that are shared. The input is none of my business. I judge people for their relevant behavior, not their state.
Which Open Source License Should Your Project Use If You Want to Raise VC$?
Yeah, being able to determine the validity of arbitrary expressions at compile time is extremely useful for libraries. For example, it allows libraries to sense the presence of member functions in user-defined types, calling them when present and falling back to default behaviors when missing.
No throwaway, and I enthusiastically agree.

The recent instances of people demanding resignation of a technical person from an open source project because somebody dislikes his personal views is a form of coercion to uniformity, political thought-policing.

In line with this theme, the NCoC site says:

Q: How can I contribute to your project or community when I see someone said something on a different site or community which directly makes me feel awful?

A: We are not in the business of policing people’s personal lives. Hopefully they also don’t give a shit about that when they are here. Part of not discriminating people, is not discriminating people. This is not world court. Sometimes people have different views. Just because they express this elsewhere, doesn’t mean we give a shit.

The problem with your remark is the implicit assumption that there is more "shame" in the lack of trust Native Americans have for whites than in the atrocities committed by whites that engendered that lack of trust, as if scientific curiosity justifies sweeping aside their very legitimate concerns and the long history of genocide here.

Anyway, I do not plan to participate further in this discussion. My absence is not to be read as tacit admission of having lost the argument or some such. My concern is the HN algorithm.

Both the Daily Show and NYT are both making cogent, compelling cases that a hate crime is similar to terrorism. Should we spend more to proactively police and try to prevent hate crimes or should we spend less policing religious extremists in an geopolitically unstable part of the world?

Making an apt analogy is a clever observation, but what solutions are being proposed? What actions should we all take next?

Not true.

LI is slightly useful for finding a job (at the expense of getting lots of recruiter spam). But it won't get you a job, and won't prevent you from getting a job. If it ever does prevent you from getting a job, trust me, you didn't want to work at that company anyway. (It's like companies that ask for your Facebook account and/or password. WTF?)

LI is also useful if you have no other web presence. But if you are a technology guy, what better way to say it than a custom domain name?

As a hiring manager, I find LinkedIn worse than useless for evaluating candidates. It's much simpler and easier to read their experience via their Resume compared the the kinda ugly LI formatting. Trying to glean info from their "connections" is useless, since many people connect at the drop of a hat. (i.e. being 2 links away from Bill Gates doesn't tell me anything about your coding ability.) The "recommendations" are also useless, because it's just one random internet user you don't trust vouching for another random internet user that you don't trust. Even the "skills" listing is broken: There is no "meaning" to +1 a skill, so people +1 skills they THINK their connections are good at and there's not objectivity to it.

Damn, this github issue is such a tragedy... If you like politics, please engage in politic groups or parties. But everything is NOT about politics. Only the worst fascist regimes think so as they try to mold every parts of society to their own beliefs.

I guess it's the downside of the geek culture being fashionable and not an underground culture anymore. People that love talking more than coding start polluting discussion group to get some sort of recognition for something different than plain hard work...

EDIT : i read it again. Do people advocating for the firing of the contributor who posted on twitter realize what the long term consequence is, provided people choose a technology based on politics ? You'll have "gay friendly" technology, and "conservative" technology. You'll have "christian" technology and "muslim" technology (because, hey, saying Jesus is the son of god on twitter hurts muslim's feelings).
You'll have "meat lovers" programming languages. And "pro guns" Operating Systems.

Is that the technological world you want to live in ?? Don't you think computer science and interoperability is difficult enough so that we don't bring in those kind of considerations ?
> People have been capable of coexisting in social situations without an explicit CoC for millenia

But there has been an implicit CoC. Is making it explicit really a big problem?
Hm, that form is perfectly fine. I wonder if it changed (the problem I had was about a year ago) or whether it was a different site I used (e.g. a UK site) or something. I was definitely only asked for dimensional weight.

Thanks for looking into it.

Edit: have just checked the UPS site myself and they have a much nicer quote interface than I remember, including dimensions and weight.
Oh, damn. I think you've found a bug, sorry about that. I think it's expecting a touch event when it shouldn't be. Let me take a look at that.

EDIT: should be fixed now. Apologies again, embarrassing bug caused by a last minute bug fix. The way these things always go...
Sorry, I guess I was a bit unclear. You don't care, sure. But someone working in the project with you might decide to exercise bias, for lots of reasons. (Maybe they grew up indoctrinated into bias, and it's hard to shake. I grew up in the Southern US, I get that.) Do you know that you will notice? If you're only paying attention to output and ideas, does it matter to you if the output and ideas are only coming from certain people?

You might decide, of course, that if you're getting enough output or ideas, you don't need all the new contributors you might get, and if you only get those that get past people's biases, that's enough. I would be unhappy about that, personally, but it's clearly possible to make a thriving open-source project with such a philosophy.
There was a claim that evidence of earlier human habitation than the Bering Strait migration had been found in Brazil [1]. I am not sure how the evidence has held-up to further scrutiny (there are issues surrounding dating of the petroglyphs found), but this article [2] has some discussion and nice pictures of the caves and petroglyphs.

An independent migration to S. America, most likely from Africa, is obviously possible, even if that population later died out. Consider that Madagascar was initially populated by people from the South China Sea, a claim initially met with much incredulity.

(creates throwaway account to avoid shitstorm)

I run an event with a CoC. However I do see the other side of the argument:

- the common CoCs from http://confcodeofconduct.com/ are vague: they're defined by what is 'offensive' - choosing to be offended is very much a personal matter and it can be hard to guess what will offend others. 'Dongle' jokes? I've seen female speakers make a 40 min presentation on regular expressions filled with rude words, that, if they weren't female, would have caused a shitstorm.

- CoCs being inconsistently enforced - a major hard-left conf organiser regularly retweets a well known online troll who constantly says things that violate their code of conduct, but since the trolls target a particular race and gender it's considered 'edgy' or 'ironic'.

- The CoCs mix things people consider innate (gender, sexuality) with ideas (spirituality) and what many medical professional would consider lifestyles choices (obesity). These are not worthy of the same degrees of protection. I don't think fat people should feel bad, but I don't think saying someone is fat is the same thing as saying they'll go to hell because they're gay.

- CoCs conflict with each other: spiritual views conflict with each other (I think God isn't real, someone else thinks that it is and disbelievers will go to hell, spiritual views conflict with sexuality (Christianity and gay marriage). Either party could feel offended. OK fine, lets not discuss religion or sexuality. Kind of feels sad to limit discussion.

Or something between the two. I find Ars claim "The single reference to IMAX in the story..." a little disingenuous; the title of the article and even the URL slug includes the reference to IMAX.

Not that IMAX's response was justified, and I applaud them for backing down, but if Ars is going to be so indignant, they should at least be more accurate.

Docker seems interesting. But it seems like there is room for something even better.

I imagine a Docker-like product where you can write a Dockerfile for your checkin test suite as easily as you can write .travis.yml right now. And then you can run a command to easily submit this "job" to AWS, Google Compute, or whatever other cloud provider you want.

Maybe I'm thinking about this right now because my Travis build has been stuck waiting to be scheduled for over 24 hours for no apparent reason. I'm at the mercy of the Travis people to take a look at this. What I imagine is a world where cloud execution is so commoditized that I can say "sorry Travis, too slow, you lose my business today." I can hit CTRL+C, change my command-line to --submit-to=aws.amazon.com, and run exactly the same test suite there instead.

Yes, we shouldn't have to say these things.

But in reality, people don't act like adults in OSS, people are still judged for things that should be completely irrelevant. We need to spell these things out because apparently there are still people in the world who need to be told that they should treat others the way they want to be treated.

"The Nobel laureate Sir Tim Hunt was heavily criticised for his disparaging remarks about women in science last week, which for some raised the issue of where women stood in the scientific community."

I think that this is a welcomed article but this kind of defamation should stop. When bunch of people misinterpret and overreact does not mean that something is actually truth.

Anyway, these kind of articles (without quoted part) are a must read list for women who think that "only men have made big discoveries".
TLDR: quotes from people who believe the Charlestown shooting should be referred to as a "terrorist" attack.

Missing is any explanation for why the NY Times chose not to use this term in their own, initial coverage. IMHO, this is a pretty disappointing omission.

I agree that "terrorism" is a pretty overloaded term, but it's clearly meant to denote enemies of US government (on all levels, although predominantly federal) and those who represent it's authority. This is somehow left out, probably because it's simply to uncomfortable for them to state.

I "run" an forum that is an offshoot of a very popular professional software development blog. The original forum was closed by the blog author and my site replaced it. This forum has rules but they're pretty minor (no doxxing, etc) and users cannot be filtered away, only posts can be removed.

Having run this forum for over a decade, I have a lot of insight into running an anonymous free form nearly censorship free place on the Internet.

1. There are many mentally disturbed people on the Internet. So point #1 of the article, "We are all adults. Capable of having adult discussions." is already off the mark. And even perfectly normal people tend to be worse human beings online (The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory). And these are people, like you and me, who earn their living making software.

2. "We accept everyones contributions." Yes, but bytes being free creates a situation where some contributions will overshadow other everyone else's contributions. 1 person can literally post 10,000x more than anyone else. And they will, see point #1. This creates an unbalanced situation that is very hard to resolve.

In my opinion, if you want to be inclusive it's pretty damn hard without any rules, moderation, censorship, limited access, etc.
I hope you are trolling...

Except the Linux Kernel technically does have a code of conduct, it's just called the Code of Conflict, and while it basically states they'll deal with problems on a case-by-case basis, it does explicitly give people a way to air their grievances and attempt to have problems addressed.

Additionally, while C itself doesn't have a specific code of conduct, the International Standards Organization (which C belongs to and is governed by) has a code of conduct and code of ethics.
I feel like a lot of it is that the tech industry itself has become less interesting over time. Four or five years ago, there was more of an outsider status to startups and startup founders, and in San Francisco 2015, tech workers have become the banal mainstream.
