I spent 2 months in Vietnam (HCMC) last Nov-Dec, and that was the first thing that surprised me. Not the iPhone5s but everyone seemed to have an iPhone6, and yep I couldn't figure out the economics, but that's the reality (thanks to posts below the economics now make sense).
I participated in a conversation a few years ago, where one person said "I've quit gmail, so I'm not worried about them collecting my data." Another person said "Yeah, but you correspond with a lot people who use gmail. So they're collecting your data anyway."
I'm less interested in analyzing the meaning of the text than the privacy implications for identification. The way I see it, textual fingerprinting is similar to facial recognition in that it's next to impossible to avoid in public spaces (walking into a subway, using Facebook's app, posting on HN, etc.).

Maybe a style obfuscator. It'd be easier than trying to recognize emotional content.

> and legitimizing its source is a dangerous act

This thinking, right here, is a problem.

Discussing an individual's technical contributions does not legitimize their political views, let alone their technical ones.

And the big threat today is not neo-reactionaryism, but zealotry in all its forms. Radicals from any group are more dangerous than moderates from a single distasteful group, and they all use exactly the same tactics to win. And if we're going to win by burying bad ideas through threats and intimidation instead of openly dismantling them through rational and ethical thought, then I'm not sure the battle is even worth winning.
This probably isn't want the OP wants, but this seems like a good spot to put in a plug for tmate[0]. There's not much to it but basically it provides a remote tmux server to share your current terminal. If you use their public server, you just run tmate and it spits out a randomly generated SSH connection string. The code is open source, so you can run your own server if you choose.

It's a measure of how false your first paragraph is that I can't guess which way your imaginary Borg leans. We see roughly the same number of comments denouncing HN for being libertarian as socialist. As far as I can tell, most HN users are neither of those; rather these perceptions are distorted by what one might call ideological enemy bias.

I have always thought this is something Github could capture on. GitHub is missing download of Compiled Binary, and some forum for user ( not developers ) interaction.

But then Github has always been a Dev focus site.

How will Notepad++ handle the delivery?
Looks like the SourceForge n++ page is still there(http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/), but downloads have been removed. I find it interesting that they're directing people to their github page and not their website. Considering that users are going to sourceforge to download the application, not build it from source.
In my experience, checked exceptions in Java just means most of your functions end up marked as throwing "Exception", or if you're more disciplined, throwing "MyApplicationBaseException" which is not really much better.

The reason why errors are better than exceptions is mainly that it is clear, when reading any function, what lines can fail, and what happens if they do. When reading a java function, you have no idea if half the lines in the function throw an exception. You might know the function as a whole can throw, but you don't know where execution might suddenly stop inside the function. You have to lean on the IDE to look at the definitions of all the functions this function calls, to see if they can throw, which is not something you can do when looking on github, or in a code review, or in an email notification for a commit.

Honestly that sounds like excellent policing to me.

If we issue everyone with a ticket for the smallest infraction we end up alienating the public. I'm a law-abiding citizen; I want to help the police. If I'm pulled over for something fairly innocent - say, not quite leaving enough room for a cyclist - and I'm given a $150 fine, no questions asked, what that does not do is make me respect cyclists more. It makes me disrespect the police, the law, it angers me, it makes me far less likely to help the police in the (immediate) future.

If the officer explains the law to me and I take what he says on board, that's a better outcome for everyone. It's better for me (no ticket), it's better for cyclists (I'll leave more room), and it's better for the police (excellent public relations).

I speak as a daily cyclist, as someone who called my local police literally an hour ago to report a weirdly parked car, and as an ex-Englishman, now resident of Melbourne, Australia. We tend to get on with our police here; their street skills tend to be a bit "softer". I think that's fabulous.
How is EA to work for nowadays? Long ago, I heard that they had a pretty awful burnout culture, since every year, there's a new crop of novices who want to make games for a living.

Although Wikipedia has a cabal, they try to clearly delineate how they censor material. On HackerNews, we are almost entirely in the dark: they do whatever they want with no oversight. Given that, having a conversation about censorship on Facebook, which is much more of a free speech zone than here, is hypocritical. (Also: I mostly agree with your post)
Okay, clearly we do not operate on the same system of logic. I may be a douche, but at least I don't always default to being a condescending asshole.
Github does have "releases" that allow you to attach binaries
I do the same thing. To me, a cyclist is a "car" in the sense that regardless of their actual road position I treat them like they're taking up the entire lane and look for a window to overtake them.

I guess in my head, I assume that a cyclist could hit a rock at any moment, fall over, and get caught under my tires. So I treat the situation like that is a realistic scenario even if perhaps it is not.

I wish cyclists would cycle more centrally in their lane. Cycling near the curve just results in bad drivers thinking they can ride side by side with a cyclist which they should not be doing...
>GitHub is missing download of Compiled Binary

You can create releases from tags and upload artifacts for every release.

GitHub have had a download tab for compiled binaries years ago.

While I absolutely agree with you, I'd like to point out that in the real world of armies and politics, 2 years is not fresh but definitely not out-of-date.

20 Inspiring Quotes About Starting Your Own Company
Following too close is rarely enforced, and it is a big problem. It appears like technology might help mitigate this one, radar-based systems are becoming more standard and several systems are designed to warn when you travel too close for a given speed. Additionally radar based cruise control means that even if you DO travel too close, the faster reaction of the system might avert a collision.

Back home in South Carolina, we had apple trees in our front yard. Never used any pesticides or anything, just let them grow.

So thank god for pesticides and Fuji apples.

A simple one is based on analysing stop words.
I guess you could do vector similarity of stop word relative frequency. You could try additional features such as word bigrams and trigrams and contain stop words. In other words, things like, "all the words the author uses that commonly surround 'of'" to select on stop word containing common phrases.

There is something about the stop word use pattern that makes them harder to forge.

I've never tried this and I don't know much more about it than that, so I strongly suggest you also find papers that treat authorship attribution by stop words.

Is this FB deleting user content on its own, or responding to reports by other users who have been somehow "offended"? We had something similar happen in my country recently, repeatedly:

A Facebook page dedicated to cataloging photos and images from the country's history posted a 100-200 year old black and white image of a bare-breasted woman (something not unseen in Ceylon before Europeans missionaries brought Victorian values to the island). This was deleted. A discussion followed, where the majority consensus was that the photos should stay up. But every subsequent attempt to repost resulted in the image being taken down. The administrators of the page eventually gave up.
In practice, I'd think you'd see lots of false negatives (people able to feign remorse and concern well enough) but not many false positives (if you can't even be bothered to pretend to care in the face of a ticket, you probably don't).

I have long pondered using old fashioned blades - but the ones I used in my time were all very much inferior to Gillette or Harrys which is what I am using right now ( they are cheaper, are good quality and last far longer than Gillette btw.).

The existence of rent control is a disincentive to build even non-rent controlled buildings, because when you make a building you have to have a good guess of what is going to happen over the next 20+ years. If your last 20+ years include "The evil landowning classes are soaking us! We should expropriate their unfair profits and redistribute them to hard-working social workers and artists! Except for the luxury apartments, those are totes cool." your expectation as a builder of luxury apartments will probably not be "I'll certainly have unimpeded ability to exploit this apartment in year 15 of its 30 year expected life."
Close distance passing may be more tolerable for experienced and fully competent cyclists, but it's still unnecessarily risky. And the risks are much higher for those with less sure bike handling skills: new and casual riders, and the very young. It's not uncommon to see these kinds of riders wobbling back and forth, "salmoning" their way down the road, obviously lacking good situational awareness.

There are just so many reasons why it's a good idea to give cyclists a wide berth, but perhaps they all come down to this: The extra space provides a more adequate margin for error in the event of unforeseen and emergency circumstances, for both driver and cyclist.

HN doesn't seem to me to consist of like-minded people. If it did, I wouldn't have to spend so much time asking users not to berate each other.
The whole thing seems fragile, both in terms of the physical properties and legalities. Some thoughts:

Cost: $1400 for $12 worth of parts obviously hacked together in a project box seems a bit much. While not for this specific application, it's a really common project for people starting out with Arduinos: Arduino+ultrasonic sensor+display and a beeper. Usually used as a parking distance alarm in a garage. In this case the police add their own GoPro for evidence purposes I assume. Hopefully it clearly shows the position of the bicycle as well, and that he was fully to the right of the lane at the time of the measurement.

Safety: Could the possibility of a citation for uncertain margins with a bicycle cause the same nervous reactions that red light cameras cause possibly increasing the number of accidents?

Prior art: My car has an ultrasonic backup alarm with display and beeper that serves this exact purpose (measuring distance before impact). That was done in 2002, so not at all a new idea.

Value as evidence: Isn't a common defense to speeding tickets the lack of recent calibration of the RADAR gun? This thing is probably subject to all manner of interference and inaccuracies.

Countermeasures: It could be easily jammed/confused by a transmitter designed for that purpose, and that should be legal since we're talking about audio frequencies, and inaudible ones at that. Ever see those ultrasonic deer transducers that go on the bumper? They don't work for deer, but they do emit sound in the ultrasonic range at certain speeds. I could see designing one specifically as a passive jammer mounted to the right-hand mirror.

My own experiences: I've biked thousands of kilometers in the US and been hit a few dozen times, nothing very serious. Some were my fault, most the driver's fault. None were malicious, just poor observations/judgement/conditions. I ride defensively and don't really care about these laws and behave as though they don't exist since it's not wise to count on the driver, and the driver shouldn't count on me either.

This seems arbitrary and dangerous. A car being passed may not notice the passing cyclist in his mirrors, and attempt a lane change. Forcing the 3 foot buffer on the cyclist as well gives a chance for both cyclist and car to notice and avoid the collision.
