That's what happens when people flag posts, and it's especially common on posts asking why other posts were flagged -- it keeps too much meta discussion from taking over.

I didn't flag either of the other two submissions -- mostly because I've got pretty strict personal guidelines for flagging, and also because most such content doesn't have a long shelf-life on HN anyway -- but it would be easy to justify flagging them.

@raganwald is a great guy. I'm really grateful for his participation on HN. He's articulate and tends to carefully consider his positions. But, I don't think this particular article from him is going to lead to very valuable discussion. With all due respect to his experiences, it's a somewhat shallow, low-effort article. It doesn't say anything new about the balance between hateful speech and free speech, which really is the conversation that needs to happen. It doesn't acknowledge that Reddit is often the largest online community for any subject, including hateful ones. And, if it inspires any conversation at all, it's likely just going to be a lot of drama between the "anti-hate-speech" crowd and the "anti-censorship" crowd.
It sounds like you've already started it. I'd continue growing it organically just like you are until it reaches a point that demands more, or you see a way that adding a website or anything else would make it better, and when you see that then add it!

Otherwise, nice work, a friend of mine is a life coach, and struggles to differentiate. Sounds like maybe you found something that sets you apart.

Forgive the comment hijack, but for those interested in the basics of music information retrieval (MIR), I started to compile some notes on MIR as IPython notebooks here: http://musicinformationretrieval.com

It's clearly incomplete, but perhaps it might help someone. Pull requests are welcome.
Absolutely worth it. It isn't terribly costly to get registered as a non-profit, especially for low revenue organizations. I run a student organization at a mid-size university, and it's only just barely cost prohibitive for us, given that we don't stand to gain much from our current status as a de facto non-profit.

From what I understand, the cost amounts to a few hundred dollars in legal fees for paperwork, less if you're willing to use some hip website to do it, and some annual compliance costs (keeping receipts, filing tax returns).

I have no idea why they wouldn't pursue that. Maybe it's much harder in Canada?

If someone sent me GPG mail out of the blue, I'd feel exactly the same way.

On the other hand, almost without exception, whenever I'm talking with any other person and decide it's Important(tm) that we keep our comms safe, GPG what we end up using. It is the standard solution to that problem, very much including those people who bitch about how terrible GPG is.

When TextSecure or Pond become generally usable, I'm confident we'll all switch away from GPG.
I said it doesn't matter intrinsically. It matters when you consider its effects on decision-making.

>unless you are comfortable saying that inflicting pain on infants is morally neutral.

Why not make your argument about chickens or pigs? I don't care if a chicken suffers before I eat it: it's dead. It was bred to die. That's not much of a moral quandary for me, to be honest.

Baby humans have a lot of potential, and we need them to make good decisions as adults. That doesn't happen when you don't care about children's pain. But it definitely also doesn't happen if you kill them.
And yet, the monolithic systems (esp Linux) proved to have all the problems predicted. Shapiro did a nice job showing how ridiculous Linus's claim is in Round 2 of the debate, which you left off:

http://www.coyotos.org/docs/misc/linus-rebuttal.html

Can't help but repeat a main point: there are many high assurance (reliability or security) microkernel-based systems that have been fielded but not a single one has achieved this based on the monolithic model Linus loves. QED.
There are indeed public spaces on the internet, many governments and government bodies have sites that are public where you can file a petition or voice a concern.

Most people (63%) own their homes in America, and there are protections in place for people who rent. Your landlord cannot monitor you.

When it comes to the mall though, it's more a matter of scope and scale. Overhearing something in a mall affects a handful of individuals and the intent was not to broadcast. If you stand up on a table in the cafeteria and start spouting hate speech, you can and will be escorted out by security.

The internet is different, because you cannot accidentally overhear a conversation. Said anywhere on the internet, especial a place like reddit of HN, it is viewable by the entirety of internet users. So direct comparisons to the physical world will always fall short.

Nope, they play on them and manipulate them to save German banks.

It's the "too big too fail" scenario, this time with the Eurozone playing the part of the federal government. Greece plays the role of the people getting mortgages that couldn't afford to repay post bubble.

The punishment of Greece (and other countries in turn, including France) will be used to clamp down on the German population in the end and keep them accepting of austerity and neo-liberal measures of their own.
James Clavell's Tai-Pan is also a fairly good fictionalized treatment of the period around the first Opium War, being based on the story of Jardine Matheson.

I definitely prefer Lua to Javascript, but in my opinion the languages are roughly similar enough that it's not worth going through the trouble to swap one out for the other.

You don't get any of the weak typing, but you still have very similar syntax and features, same dynamic typing, same prototype OOP. Lua doesn't hold enough of an advantage over JS to warrant the cost of trying to get it in the browser.
First, they never chased out anyone.

Second, they have been extremely compliant for 5 years with dire consequences in a failed "recipe" that even the IMF and German economists agree has been punitive and ill designed.
The whole entirety of the universe simply doesn't possess any form of meaning whatsoever if people do not experience pain or agony? Is that what you're trying to claim?

Meaning is not a side-effect of suffering. It's a side effect of correlations between subsets of reality, like those necessary to drive perception and rationality.
basically gpg works right now. its not great by any means UI wise and moxie's hate for GPG always seems misplaced (specially since he has a competing product)

textsecure and friends unfortunately arent all that great either. heck i cant reinstall it on my phone without de-registering by using a shell script running on my android phone. You know what? Even gpg doesnt makes me do that...

Either way - textsecure, gpg, or something else might - and hopefully will succeed at breaking the useability barrier, one day soon. hopefully ;)

I like the way it was written but I was especially intrigued by what we, as a community of startups, allow ourselves to monetize. I remember reading that porn and sex trade is what drove 14% of craiglist traffic at one point and I'm not sure how Craig Newmark handled that. Child porn is another driver of image sites. This all a matter of ethics on so many different levels, racism included.

If our companies and engineering teams are sanctuaries for this kind of stuff, it really calls into question the how far we go at the sacrifice of society to make a dollar.

If we don't address these things as a community of startups and engineers then we could get bit in unforeseen ways.

I'm at least glad we've had a bit of discussion here on it.
I'm not Hurd supporter but that's an interesting idea. I'd say replace Scheme with Python or something mainstream that's similarly powerful. Adding LISP to stuff usually kills it off unfortunately, with Clojure a freak occurrence. The transactional upgrades and rollbacks feature by itself would be compelling to some audiences.
Agreed on better output to text, then process, but I'd suggest the record & group separators... It always surprises me when people use more exotic characters for something that's been defined forever (practically) in computer terms for this purpose.

I'd be interested in hearing Animats' opinion. My guess is that it stayed simpler than Mach but not too simple. Right tradeoffs in the kernel along with fitting into the tiniest of cache and [typical of RTOS's] smart choice of instructions for predictable timing. Here's a paper on an older version of it:

http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~voelker/cse221/papers/qnx-paper92.pd...

In 1992. it could execute in 8KB of cache with the microkernel and interrupt handler. That by itself should buy it some performance. :)

I agree with everything you’re saying. There is a thing that applies to scientific theories, a question of whether they are fecund, do they provoke more insights and thoughts and productive debate?

Some things I write might be very true, or very heartfelt, or very emotionally powerful, but not fecund. And fecundity is an important criterion for a site that uses posts as a catalyst for productive discussion.
>do you seriously believe Greece is capable of that if they are to go on their own path? What industry is there to speak of in Greece? What goods or resources are they willing to trade or offer to the rest of the world?

Racist much? Greece has a import/export deficit (excluding oil) of around -1%. They have a large tourism industry, a strong (worldwide competitive) shipping industry, and they export food products, minerals (ores?) and lots of other things besides.

>And why do you feel the need to make this into a political argument and not of economics?

Because Economics 101 already says the plan imposed and followed for 5 years is illogical and doomed to failure. Check any leading economist on the issue (except those serving in political positions in involved countries). Heck, there's even an IMF report saying exactly that.

>Did you really expect EU to give them another get out of jail card like they have all this time?

"Get out of jail" card? Perhaps you should read some more into the history of all this. The "card" Greece was shown for the last 5 years lead to a 25% GPD fall, 30% unemployment (50% youth unemployment), huge pay cuts (over 40%), and several other measures besides.

The only one who ever took a "get out of jail free card" in Europe was Germany, who's national debt and war reccuperation payments were slashed over 60% (including war reccuperations to Greece, for destroying infrastructure and leading to the death of 700.000 people, on top of getting a forced loan from the Greek state while it was occupied they never repaid).
I understand the concept of a slippery slope, but let's acknowledge the fact that parents routinely make every single medical decision for their babies, because somebody has to, and the babies aren't capable.
So you're arguing that if inflicting pain produces better decisions (as it occasionally does), it is not just morally acceptable, but an actual positive force for good?
... Yikes. The advice in this post is unfortunately naive. It's dangerous to allow arbitrary object attribute key content. Some object properties in JavaScript must be treated as reserved. Allowing arbitrary access to key names has unexpected repercussions. For example, consider "prototype" or "hasOwnProperty" as key names.

See: http://www.devthought.com/2012/01/18/an-object-is-not-a-hash... for more details.

So I'd +1 jestar_jokin's advice: use code that's been well-tested. The code presented in the original poster's "Hash Tables in Javascript" article does not look robust.
Because:

1. going from 2D to 3D is a one time improvement, not a continuous law that runs for 30 years: at some future point, say a 5nm process becomes 3D, and the number of transistors jumps from N^2 to N^3. That's a single time change.

2. making single atom conventional logic gates is physically impossible: it will have quantum effects and thus will behave like a quantum computer. To make a classical (non-quantum) logic gate, you need at least 8-10 atoms (and that's pushing it).
This doesn't answer your question, but many HN posts talk about how awful it is to work at Amazon. You sound smart and resourceful. Apply somewhere that's more likely to make you happy.

I seem to have the impression that constructivism in math is the same thing as constructive logic, though they are related.

Constructivism in mathematics:

Surely, one can be a constructivist mathematician, yet not eschew double negatives?
There are things that can be measured, like frequency response and accuracy of the audio reproduction. Of course, how something feels when worn is subjective. I think an article that focuses solely on how a product looks, feels, and sounds fails to meet that criteria.
When that policy was enacted we were still living in the world where the SSN was not the primary means of personal identification. Social security cards used to explicitly say they were not to be used for personal identification, recently enough that mine does.

The DOD originally switched to the SSN from the previous service numbers, as in "name rank and serial number". It was a convenience measure, since the service number system was arcane.

Service numbers were also public record, and I've read documents indicating that social security numbers were not considered sensitive information (notwithstanding the fact that the DOD didn't have the concept of PII formalized back then).

Should the DOD have moved back to another serial number system sooner? Possibly. I'm amazed that they're moving at all.
He knows startups extremely well. He's a very curious person and genuinely interested in startups and has gotten to know many startup founders. He started a successful (but not wildly successful) startup back when Y Combinator was new. I installed Loopt back then. It was pretty impressive for a while. A lot of startup people like him. Paul Graham does in particular but he rose to the top of Y Combinator over a period of time and I don't think it would have happened if he hadn't proven himself to most of the others at Y Combinator.

I really liked my Sharp with ATRAC 2.5. I guess I still like it, but I honestly haven't used my MiniDisc player in probably a decade. MP3 at 320 kbps could encode higher fidelity, but when MiniDisc was popular (sic.) most MP3s were recorded at 128 kbps or even 64 kbps with Joint Stereo. Even Apple's AAC was encoded at lower quality bitrates for years. It wasn't until OGG and lossless WMA seemed like they might put a little pressure on Apple's business model that they increased their bitrates and made it possible to remove the DRM. Of course the upshot of all this movement was that MiniDisc was no longer viable for prerecorded content. It still was an adequate poor man's DAT for my live recording purposes.

No, if inflicting pain produces better, more circumstantially adaptable decision-making capabilities, then I would agree.

And when it does, it clearly is good. That's why we evolved pain receptors: because it enables better decision-making capabilities. People who can't feel pain suffer plenty for it, and they live in real danger.
This is awesome, but is it... legal?
Frankly, in your article you appear to only argue against deontology, while appearing unaware of any alternatives. Your actual argument is also inconsistent with your uncomputable claim. Specifically, your proposed "taking context into account" is completely computable.

Also, if you were right that morality exists but is not computable, why would that change anything?

I guess I've never really associated privilege and blame. Maybe other people do, I can't speak for anyone but myself. I do, however, think that blame is appropriate when a person refuses to admit that privilege exists.

For example, the way I see it, I can't help that I'm white, it isn't my fault, I didn't do anything to "earn" my white privilege. However, if I refuse to at least acknowledge that I have privilege, then that is my fault, for that I would deserve blame.

'Some might say "I don't care if they violate my privacy; I've got nothing to hide." Help them understand that they are misunderstanding the fundamental nature of human rights. Nobody needs to justify why they "need" a right: the burden of justification falls on the one seeking to infringe upon the right. But even if they did, you can't give away the rights of others because they're not useful to you. More simply, the majority cannot vote away the natural rights of the minority.
But even if they could, help them think for a moment about what they're saying. Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
A free press benefits more than just those who read the paper.'

I wouldn't really call his past decisions insane, although I agree with you that he's our (German) version of a political hardliner.

Personally, I would describe his reasoning and actions as in line with the aim of always putting the German state (not necessarily its people) first. Maybe his idol is Bismarck, maybe there's some other reason for his actions. Who knows; I surely don't. It is possible, of course, that his views and behaviour have become quite disconnected from the "real" world. After all, he's been a MP for 43 years now - making him the most senior MP in the history of the FRG. But then, he's seen quite a few global disasters happening from a political perspective.

In the end, right now, he's doing a fairly good job of maintaining a stable German economic position in the EU/the world and is able to even strengthen Germany's global political position as well. This rather aggressive damage control certainly doesn't support the ideals that the EU is built upon, but then who knows whether he subscribed to it in the first place? I honestly believe that, should the EU fail in the coming decade, he'll be remembered quite positively.
