Kudos for the dead simple interface.
Seems like this could be solved by escalating to banning a /64 after multiple bans have been issued.
But the lawyers cannot really know, because that becomes up to a judge later on. There is no clear algorithmic formula to decide if they were sufficiently defensive in the eyes of the law. They have to make a best effort at defending the trademark, so in general the best strategy is to err on the side of overagression and apology. If someone says, hey, you were lax in defending your trademark, down the line, they can point and say, nu-uh, we we were so aggressive a C-level officer had to issue an apology!

thanks for sharing this. Since i'm in a somewhat comparable situation, would you mind getting in touch? you can find my website, alas email, on my profile page and I think talking about some stuff that worked and didn't work might help me. Thank you.
You're coming at this from a white man's perspective. "I can't possibly see what they have against knowing their history!"

Try coming at it from the Native American perspective. Almost every thing the white man has ever told them has been a lie. From trade deals to war treaties. The white man took their lands by force and trickery and soon had them living in reservations or participating in death marches.

Of course natives are going to be skeptical when white scientists tell them their history...history which they have their own cultural representation of. As modern western folk, we like to view the world with our scientific lens, and view what we see through it as the truth. But our science is no more truth than light bouncing off an object is the object itself.

Natives have their own account of their history. It's no more or less important than our account of their history, but our version is certainly going to be met with some (rightful) skepticism.

Regarding the whole burial aspect -- the guy was already buried! With a ceremony according to his own religious beliefs as he practiced them, not whatever religion descendents 8 millennia distant currently practice. Shouldn't they just put him back where they found him?

Beat the Benchmarks to Be a Winner: Mobile Apps
Fair. I read it as an individual extremely burnt out by politicization, which I relate to. Taking the various problems for granted, I definitely get a "here we go again" feeling when I see another identity-focused scandal show up on my feed.

On the one hand, it's depressing how common these issues are on a wide scale and I want to see them put to rest. On the other hand, I've done a lot of work to cultivate an intelligent, balanced social/professional group specifically so I wouldn't have to worry about these issues in my daily life.

I started out on board with using the internet as a medium for advocacy. Now, after a couple years of the scandal-shame-"apology" cycle, I'm cynical and frustrated. There's always some idiot treating people around them like garbage. There's always somebody with a story about their mistreatment. There's always some org making empty changes to appease public outrage. I've done what I can locally and virtually and (go figure) it did little to fix a society-wide issue. The constant barrage of victimization and victimhood wears us all out and it's no longer a purely social topic. Music, movies, industries, churches, countries, there's mildly-inappropriate-to-horrific stuff happening everywhere and the conversation never stops. At some point it does start feeling like you can't talk about anything online without having to pay lip-service to the crimes of strangers world wide. It's become harder and harder to connect and the threshold for "unforgivable mistake" has gotten lower and lower.

So it just doesn't feel worth the energy to engage anymore. The world isn't a better place because of this particular conversation we're forcibly engaged in all the time. People are generally incredibly bitter or entirely apathetic, either doing the right thing or committed to their crumminess. Rarely does the virtual mob even take anyone down and at least half the time when they do it's some nobody making a typical human mistake that could be easily addressed with normal 1-1 interaction. Meanwhile the companies that peddle this stuff get rich on our collective disgust and 99% of the jagoffs in the world keep doing their thing until the outrage lotto picks their number. That's our tactic for social improvement. It's a joke.

Anyway, I'm saying I get where this individual is coming from. I suspect the site is as much an angry rant as a serious idea (there's nothing groundbreaking about people behaving themselves: most of us do it most of the time, and I think that's the point). But a lot of these Codes of Conduct feel like a flimsy response to the toxic way we talk about these problems and not a response to the problems themselves. nCoC seems to be the flip-side of that coin, It says "we have problems, we don't know how to discuss them productively, so let's focus on the work we share and forge relationships that way."

In most settings, that's the one good approach we can all reliably execute. My two cents.
"Software projects" is very generic. A wannabe-Facebook-clone is a software project, my boring corporate accounting program is a software project, etc. But those aren't your target. Seems like you only want open-source (or at least non-commercial) projects. So say that.

At a guess, you're probably also not targeting teeny-tiny libraries/toolkits, because they don't need much more than Github provides. Only bigger and more mature projects probably have need of this, so you might mention that too.
I think a docker wrapper atop of Nix makes a lot of sense. There are going to be imperative things we do in docker images that aren't going away -- like downloading HEAD from a git repo and building it -- and using Nix for every other part makes a lot of sense.

Twice i have noticed from USPS (of all companies) that they say delivered one day but it's not actually delivered. It could just be me and me not seeing it. It happened at work and there are a lot of deliveries regularly.
Surprisingly, I get this fairly often on my mobile. I'm not quite sure what's changed with the last version (or couple) of Android to trigger this. Over-secure, perhaps?
We recently launched a platform product for small businesses that helps them with revenue growth. I would love to receive feedback!

We already have 30 customers. We are raising a seed round. If interested, please reach out to me. Email is in my profile.
While the product is cool, it seems that you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Try and discover what your customer needs. Interview some software foundations and ask what their their biggest pains are. Ask where they spend the most time outside of development. In what areas do they struggle? Communication with members? Getting donations? Processing donations? Getting committed members?

I'm guessing that getting donations is their biggest problem. Getting paid is as easy as setting up a paypal button these days. I'd guess open source software devs struggle with marketing/advertising rather than technical platforms. :)
On my Chrome+OS X Yosemite, I opened it in a separate tab, and went back to working on something else. After a couple of minutes, the laptop really started heating up :). The `Google Chrome Helper` associated with this tab was the culprit, hogging 100% CPU. Killed it and everything came back to normal.

Anyone else experience that?
What cynical comments? I read most (or all) of them as positive and encouraging.
It really is excellent. I have to wonder why they aren't all like this. It costs no more to write a nice letter like this one than a mean one as is the standard, and surely they'd realize this approach gets better results!
"We are all adults. Capable of having adult discussions."

How I wish this was true, but it's not. That's why we have code of conducts: because creepers don't realize that it's not okay to hit on every women they see, because bros don't realize gay isn't a synonym for bad, because gamergaters don't realize women can video games and so on. The sad truth is, there is a portion of our society that does not act in a mature and adult way, and they hurt others as a result.

As someone who plays life on easy mode[1] like I imagine most commenters here, it's hard to remember that most people play life on hard mode. Code of conducts are aimed at making hard mode a little better: hopefully by reminding people where the boundaries are, and for correcting problems when those boundaries are crossed. Are codes of conduct a perfect solution? No. But the response to lack of perfection shouldn't be to give up: it should be to try harder. Centuries of civilization has show us that ignoring problems don't make things better. We have to fight the good fight and force the world to be a better place.

Couldn't you? It seems like if you were skilled enough you could figure it out by the reactions of various players in the photos with more than one or two people in them.
I feel for you so much. I've gone through this for the last 14 years. On and off. Mostly off since I've been on medication, but it's debilitating. When you don't go places or do things because you're afraid of simply being there for a panic attack. Always sitting on aisles (when you finally get to the point where you can go to a movie) so you have an easy escape.

And yeah, often you don't look at people, wear headphones or do other things like that. That's when you're doing "well" and not having panic attacks. When you've learned how to manage it.
I hope I will see some interesting talks about scaling out SQL Databases and running Docker behind a firewall or running containers on customer hardware..
Docker has still some rough edges especially in "non internet" environments. where stuff is not moving that fast.
Also it's really hard to scale out while running on a single box without internet access and trying to add more.. I hope thats something that soon (tm) could docker also fix.
They do that too. Like the story they did about the Philippine Coast Guard in the South China Sea.
I felt like it took me too long to figure out what exactly this is and who is the ideal audience this is for. pg writes about matter of fact answers here really well:

“One test of whether you’re explaining your idea effectively
is to ask how close the reader is to reproducing it. After
reading that sentence I’m no closer than I was before, so its
content is effectively zero.”

One thing I personally try to find when I go to a site’s page is the one sentence I could easily memorize and repeat to someone else and feel like the most interesting person at the dinner table. That sentence is usually the foundation for any word of mouth growth.

When I read the three paragraphs you’ve laid out for me, the STRONGARM all-caps branding on jargon is overwhelming. So intense. It’s like you’re…strong-arming me with your brand. Sorry.

I did find it weird that your homepage sign up form is basically a way to prefill out the real sign up form.

This—>

Goes to this->

http://cl.ly/image/2z2Q0t2S0F1A

Did it create the account between steps or did you think asking for a third thing on the page was going to be the actual dealbreaker for conversion? I just can’t follow the logic. Just let me in! There’s not enough stuff on the site information-wise and I finally say, “Okay, sure…I’ll give this a try.” And then you make me jump through more hoops…like this:

http://cl.ly/image/1z3R0m1E0E1j

And then you give me more text to read:

http://cl.ly/image/3b3P451p1I3k

And then FINALLY…I see how this works:

http://cl.ly/image/1J2p0o0s2H0o

It’s the first time I understand that this uses DNS to do its magic. When I go back to your homepage, I see that you did mention DNS once, but it’s lost in all that text and jargon that I skipped.

http://cl.ly/image/2n0d3A1a0M1o

For your setup instructions…just show me the text. Don’t make me click to expand them. As I read through it, I realized that the first step is just getting my DNS setup. If that’s the case, make that easy to find…hell, maybe you don’t need me to create an account at first. Can you protect me now and have me claim it later for notifications and dashboard access?

More importantly, show me this stuff way earlier:

http://cl.ly/image/40090t07442k

That stuff is the meat of what you ACTUALLY offer to me. Don’t make me go through all that above just to get to here. I only made it because I’m reviewing this on purpose.

Here’s a quick suggestion: on your site go through an example or two of threats Strongarm protects against. A How it Works page would be great. Considering your audience, they’re going to want to know the basic mechanics before they start routing traffic through there. The content you have on your site isn’t enough to make anyone feel confident doing what you want. To make them feel confident, show them the future explicitly.

Contraception: Male Pill is coming and it's going to change everything
I don't know what it is, but for some reason if the technology is sound, many technologists will entertain completely delusional, unworkable ideas because they focus on the technology (or the perceived efficiency gains to society, efficiency being something engineers are partial to) over the fact that in real life people are messy, simple solutions are usually naive, and things are frequently the way they are for a reason.

Of course, the rest of society does this with things that they are partial to, most notably religion (some religious people overlook unworkable social plans by leaders who they perceive as religious).

It's like as long as one part of the plan seems sound, they're willing to believe the rest of the plan, even if it's completely idiotic. There's got to be a psychological term for this.
I suspect sometimes that StephanTLavavej is way too productive to be just one person. Maybe a pseudonym under which the whole MSVC compiler / stl team operates (much like https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Nicolas_Bourbaki ) :)

Does it? It looks to me as if it's saying that Clifford algebras give a better way of writing Maxwell's equations (all four of them) as a single equation with no cross products (as such) at all.

You combine the current j and charge density rho into a single four-vector current J; you combine the electric field E and magnetic field B into a single bivector F. (In spacetime, not just space, so the space of bivectors has dimension (4 choose 2) = 6 = 3+3, which is the right amount for representing E and B.) Then the Clifford-algebra analogue of the "del" operator from conventional vector calculus does div-like things and curl-like things in the right combination to encode all of the Maxwell equations.

Of course, you can do more or less the same thing without calling it Clifford algebra (or geometric algebra) and you can find it done in physics textbooks. Usually this means a whole lot of tensor formulae; see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of_class.... Geometric algebra gives a nice framework for writing it all down, though.

> Are they satisfied with their current histories?

Probably. At the very least, for most of them refining detailed factual accounts of their history is not high on the list of needs they'd like to see addressed.

> Do they not really care much to know how their ancestors moved across the continents?

Why would they? I would suggest that most people don't care much about that, regardless of race/ethnicity. Its just that most people don't have a history which creates a perceived risk associated with going along with what it takes to help satisfy other people's curiosity about this kind of thing.

From April 10, 2012. Story titled - Instagram is "worth" more than the New York Times

Comment - "Would you rather own one of the most established news institutions in the modern world or a 2 year old photo sharing startup? How is this even a question?!"

That's one of those questions where that looks a lot different at different times. :-)

First paragraph on the top comment is very representative: "The only problem is that you have to install something. See, it's not the same as USB drive. Most corporate laptops are locked and you can't install anything on them. That's gonna be the problem. Also, another point where your USB comparison fails is that USB works in places where you don't have internet access. "
I'm a huge fan of Finagle futures, which this project seems to draw a lot of inspiration from. My biggest challenge is actually the fact that Folly as a dependency is so heavyweight memory wise: I have trouble building anything on my laptop with 4 gigabytes of memory. Most of the Folly code is template code - I guess lots of template code leads to large memory compile time footprints?

Anyway - great project. I'd love to use it sometime maybe when I get a bigger dev machine.

Talking about the "Dark Web" is sort of like talking about a "Criminal Underground".

It sounds like you're discussing some grotesque subterranean civilization, but it's really an awful lot of people walking around the same city you are, with crime that isn't really that organized.

Ask HN: Built a nice iPhone app, built a web app  now what?
I'm sure this is where many of us are or have been at some point, especially engineer-entrepreneurs, since we are all about the technology and the product. Would love to hear your comments.

I posted a few months ago we released www.heynay.com. We're 2 engineers, a designer and a lawyer with a common problem we wanted to solve: I need X, I only need it this weekend so I don't want to buy it, I need to pick it up locally and I'd like to pay my neighbor for the trouble.

What is heynay?
It's a way to securely, conveniently, and inexpensively rent the thing you need when you need it, from your neighbor or someone who lives close to you.

So we build just that; a fully functional end to end neighbor to neighbor, location based, rental platform with integrated payments.

I literally finished the webapp 2 days ago and we're realizing the "build it and they will come" quote is not quite true. We've reached out to our local friends and have seen some engagement, but not the one we expected. People are too busy, and the ones that would use the app probably don't know about it.

We start wondering, did we not build the right solution? Do we explore pivot options? Do we pick our pockets and pay for local marketing? Do we go out on the streets and advertise?

Would love to hear those of you that have been in this spot and some of your comments, I'm always inspired by this community.
Maybe Jewish women started being accused of 'making a political statement' and being harrassed in the street because they covered their hair, so they had to make a compromise.
I really enjoy a lot of Borges' work, but this is nonsense.

His literature is respected across the aisle, but also considered to be very right-wing (he was pro-military dictatorships, anti-feminist, etc.)

To chalk a majority of Argentinean literary culture to him would be to severely underestimate how popular things like Psychoanalysis and Zizek are over there.

Mozilla Bug 77790: Style the scrollbar
Hi Kevin! Thanks for your feedback. That's odd, we haven't seen the behavior you're talking about yet, it shouldn't go directly to the form. Was that on desktop, tablet, or mobile?

We've now put the form behind a button which looks better anyway. For what it's worth, we also checked out Wufoo which looks better in-line but, unless we're missing something, you can't add a free form "Other" response to a Checkboxes question and the Multiple Choice question forces you to pick one response. That would have required us to add a new free form field after the location preference field if they picked Other.

Appreciate the feedback on the copy. Thanks for the idea for talking about work/not talking about work. Definitely could be a concern for a lot of people. We've added another question to the survey asking for work talk preferences.
I've always felt uncomfortable with the discussions I've had with people about Chesterton because I find that they use the _fact_ that he attacked scientific determinism and moral relativism as _proof_ that they are on the right side. He was very eloquent and brilliant, but so much of his writing is used by well-read apologists to confirm their biases instead of having the arguments on their own.
It's really hard to have a sensible discussion if you are going to ignore what I am saying. I addressed EXACTLY the case you highlight in my comment. EXACTLY. Here's a quote from the article you linked to:

"On a morning last May, Jing Ren, a 20-year-old who had recently arrived from China, stood among them for the first time, headed to a job at a salon in a Long Island strip mall. Her hair neat and glasses perpetually askew, she clutched her lunch and a packet of nail tools that manicurists must bring from job to job."

As I said, this is an IMMIGRATION problem, not a labor law problem. The labor laws are already there to cover this. They are simply not being enforced. However, I'd be willing to bet all of these people are illegal immigrants being abused by their own kind. In other words, exactly what I said in my comment.

Exploitation by reputable companies does not exist in this country. Only sweatshops, generally ethnic, are likely to take advantage of and abuse illegal immigrants, which, again, is a failure in immigration law. In other words, here is a picture perfect case of our government actively harming people for not taking measures to ensure that immigration happens in an orderly manner and will full protection for those who join our ranks.

I'm done.
