> The huge discrepancies in wealth could be easily reversed

I don't think it could easily be reversed - you'd need a revolution. Not only because the higher ups have far too much skin in the game to want to reverse a system that generates huge wealth for themselves and their entire families, but they also know that the country needs capitalism and a market economy.

At the end of the cultural revolution, they also knew that after decades of proclaiming the evils of capitalism, it'd be a tough sell to the general population to just suddenly about face and say 'oops we were wrong, capitalism is good after all' and so we have 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' and a bunch of other things that are basically rebranded capitalism and that gives the general populace a warm fuzzy feeling without associating it with any of the cultural baggage terms like 'capitalism' have in Chinese society.
It's not a good idea to manually create filters that 100% block. You can't think of all the special cases like this.
AWS is notorious about displaying outages as green (plus an "informational message"). I think we can assume that everyone games the numbers as hard as they think they can get away with.
There have been incidents that Google didn't acknowledge at all. There was one day where all sites using custom domains were redirected to Google.com for several hours, including their own Chrome Web Store. (which, I presume, runs on App Engine)

It eventually resolved after a few hours, but both during & after the incident, there wasn't any public communication from Google.

Wow I have to try this trick. I have endless problems with some emails going missing (hotmail and the rest of microsoft’s domains are the worst).
People seem more sensitive now than before. Or maybe they always were, but now it just isn't taboo to admit it? In any case, just using myself as an example -- I've found that I become more and more sensitive and easily offended the more I involve myself and try to find disagreeable things (see: online echo chambers centred around a common identity of "the other side is bad/laughable/hurtful!"). And in the modern Information Age, that isn't hard at all.
Its not that bad, it has been updated frequently though. Seems to be getting better.

I do remember it being quite lacking back in the day.
Not sure how they are getting their attack data. Especially since they are classifying shodan as an "attacker"
> You're aware that what you said was impolite, but you can't think of a way to be more polite.

Wrong point of view in my opinion. I had the same question on my mind and it needs a qualifier not because it's impolite, but because you might be offended by it. Those are two entirely separate things.

That said, nothing of what you said makes it any easier to accept your answers, for me personally, because i still have no idea what things you're seeing as offensive that you might've missed earlier and i still can't compare whether i would've missed the same things, or whether those things weren't present in my environments.

Would you care to bring up some concrete examples?
Congrats guys! Great founders, hustlers, and hackers == incredible team making great progress. Super excited for you!
One person in, one person out?

As long as her replacement was engaged this whole mess probably wouldn't have happened.
I'm confused - I googled Sketch and saw that is a, not very comparable in my opinion, tool by Adobe.

Do you have their site?
It's offensive because it assumes I identify as a man - and that assumption, to me, is explicitly implied in the term itself.

I refuse to see the term as a neutral-term applied equally to both genders for three reasons. One being the term itself is gender-loaded (includes "man" in it) and the next being that the majority of the users of the term are femininsts using it to discount any opinions or explanations held by a man; regardless of validity. Lastly, even the wiki article goes to great lengths to emphasize "usually a man" and "usually towards a woman".

Though I'm probably mansplaining right now aren't I? You probably know more about the term than I do and here I am explaining to you why it's a sexist term!

Their usage also missed that the very problem of being misgendered is something I'm accustomed to and I'm aware of the reasons behind why it happens. It only sees that I tried to "mansplain away" why she was misgendered as the male in the picture rather than pitching in my $0.02 as to why the mistake was a genuine mistake and not explicitly or implicitly sexist. In mrrgn's defense, she provided a better example of the "coded sexism"/implicit sexism in a reply to me. It's also a much better example as it is implicit sexism rather than a "genuine mistake" because it's making an assumption based on gender.

>Other examples: going to conferences and being asked if I was covering it for a blog.

The usage against me makes an assumption that I am not frequently misgendered and know less about being misgendered than mrrgn does (since the term "mansplaining" itself assumes the lack of knowledge of the one "mansplaining" in regards to the person they are "mansplaining" towards"). I'd wager I'm misgendered far more frequently and thus this assumption is wrong and I can't possibly be mansplaining by its own definition.

The largest problem, in my biased opinion, is it misuses a negatively-loaded term against a rather lengthy reply. People may glance at their reply and disregard my post without actually reading the content due to the length of my post. I find that unfair to me and unhealthy towards discussion (and discussion is the point of HN comments...right?)
Considering that the wage is generally reserved for unskilled labor perhaps it might be relevant for some MPs.

Snark aside, there are many benefits most who have jobs in this range qualify for which does push their net higher. The idea is that you don't remain at entry level wages across your entire career. The problem is, no one really expected the number of people who are willing to do so if the effort is minimal and their basic (note: lower than what most of us who accept) needs are met.

Having worked in an industry where we had many minimum wage employees and scaling from there I was initially aghast at the wages. Initially, then I talked to some and was surprised that they were happy as they didn't see it as effort to get paid/etc; industry was rent-a-cop type and most were indoors and even sitting with uniform provided combined with fixed hours
Seems to be more about premature stereotyping than sexism, if sexism is supposed to mean something like "the belief in the superiority of one of the sexes". There is nothing inherently superior, or good, about being a programmer on GitHub. Some people have other goals, hopes and aspirations, without that making them "bad" people.
What speed are you getting events with? Analytic platforms are normally better at analytic the collected data, not dynamic streaming incoming data.
> i still have no idea what things you're seeing as offensive that you might've missed earlier and i still can't compare whether i would've missed the same things, or whether those things weren't present in my environments.

That's not what the GP asked. They asked

> Can you elaborate on why spending time and effort to find offensiveness in things makes sense to you?

which is an entirely different question (with a very obvious subtext to boot).
If her complaining about the lack of women in tech was a reason why women don't choose tech, THAT would be ironic.

Her point stands regardless of the fact that she is a women in tech: there is a lack of women in tech, when compared to other professions such as Law or Medicine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn’t make my comment untrue. Or worth downvoting. If we don’t like the lies, what else can we do but call attention to them?
> For example, if you don't see sexism all around you, you aren't paying attention. If you don't see racism all around you, you aren't paying attention; our society is littered with both and women and minorities don't have the luxury of ignoring them.

Please do keep in mind that this is an international forum, and the people you talk to mind come from wildly dissimilar societies than you.

For example where i grew up there was relatively little sexism, instead women were often the stronger people who more commonly fed the family. Similarly there was very little racism, though primarily due to a lack of people from foreign countries.
No, I've not seen this behavior exclusively displayed by men often enough to warrant gendering the insult.

There are lots of gender stereotypes in sitcoms that are unhealthy. That this particular one is currently en vogue in mass media should tell you that it's exploitative and not actually descriptive.
Can't edit my original post, so here will have to do.

Do you honestly think that every sub which went dark for a few hours (when a large percentage of their users were probably asleep) should've held a week long 'should we go private or not?' poll?

If you don't want people using the third space you set up as a third space, open a restaurant instead and call it that.
Easy fix. Have a 30-45 minute free zone with purchase. Along with the monthly rentals noted in the article. And maybe even a poster with the nearest libraries and Christian Science reading rooms.
I feel guilt about this all the time. I work remotely, in the UK but on US Eastern time to synch with my team. Fortunately this means I can go to cafes after the lunch rush, but make sure I buy enough food and drink to not be a freeloader, tip well, and if it's busy - move on. Working from home is what I'm going back to anyway, it's just nice to get out of the house.
Thanks, may have to pay Google the $5 (or thereabouts?) to host my mail for a month and consider it a cost of freedom from them long term.

After 2+ years of hosting my domain myself, it doesn't seem possible to build up enough reputation with them personally.

> If you're like me, and think of the pieces of shit that run the RIAA when you hear about piracy complaints... it's worth watching Destin and his videos to see a much more sympathetic actor.

Well, the kinds of things that people hate the RIAA for and the kind of things Destin is trying to fight are entirely different. There's a difference between getting a digital product without paying for it (or getting sued despite not having pirated anything ever) and taking someone else's digital product, putting your own name on it, and using that plagiarized material for your own personal gain.
Isn't reddit in the top 20 websites in the world?

Seems pretty 'mainstream' to me.
It's borked all over the place. Thinks I've visited 20 times. Bombed me with a pop over with your phone number on it: 555-555-5555.

It also seems to think I'm in mountain view.
6 Things We Learned from Podcast Listeners
> It achieves the goal because women traditionally earn less money than men for the same job. I was stunned. Maybe she's right.

The Gender Pay Gap in the US is all but non-existant, and the largest discrepancy is due the fact that women are less likely to negotiate more than men.

> The goal of most software projects is to cut costs and increase revenue for some line of business. How does bringing more women into programming help?

There aren't enough good engineers to fill the open software positions. Increasing the pool of qualified applicants directly impacts the ability for teams to deliver software.
Right, and stated as much in my original reply.
Based on very limited knowledge, I believe that historically and now, most artists have had 'day jobs'. Very few have earned enough from their art.

Come to think of it, to what degree does IP protect only the most successful artists, and may even be a net hinderence to most.
This is a subset of a larger civic issue with increasing pressure on private spaces as public spaces shrink, http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/87169002-d87a-11e4-ba53-00144...

"People like public space. Just as they like to work in a coffee shop on a laptop surrounded by others, they want to hang out with friends, to people-watch, flirt, take part in the rituals of public life.

In the suburbs, the 20th-century answer to the need for “public” space was the mall. The first were in the US in the 1950s, conceived as public places with kindergartens, medical centres and community facilities alongside the shops. Within a few years, only the shopping was left.

Malls have come a long way since. “Malls without walls”, whole shopping districts, resemble parts of the city, with real streets and brick and stone façades, and transpire to be privately owned. Liverpool One is an example. Cash-strapped municipalities cannot compete and people throng to these places. Users, once citizens, are rebranded as consumers."

From http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/7/stop-treating-c...

"The consumer-citizen pops up all over the place, like a cardboard stand-in for democratic citizens who have no other political concerns beyond self-interested consumption .. the public is hung out to dry with effectively no defense or recourse since our political rights have evaporated into market choices."
Honestly, i still stand by my post.

I can completely see how the chain of posts, especially when one ignores the first one, may be read differently.

However i personally still read the posts as culminating the in the question:

I am going to give Luke The Smackdown.

I have devoted years to beating a clue about marketing through his pointy skull but then he complains that he has to take contract comouter janitor work to pay his data center.

I expect he shops at that dame Safeway.

The way he needs to market was established in the 1960s by the stanford alumni association but Luke refuses to Read The Fine Manual.

He knows all about Open Source though.

On the importance of internal networking
This seems like a UX/UI failure on the part of the coffee shop if he has to intervene in the customers' experience. The coffee shops I go to do a good job of making it clear what kind of customers they want by virtue of the experience you have there. This weekend I encountered the first coffee shop I can remember visiting that lacked wifi. I looked around and saw nothing but groups of people in conversation. Other shops I'm a regular at never make it awkward for me to sit there...whether with just a cup of coffee or a steady stream of drinks. If there's an outcome you want with your space, there's probably a good way to configure it so that you meet your end goal.
Well I can certainly hope they upped the honesty factor. (My experience is from 2010 & 2011. If the page you linked to is indeed the new version of the one I recall — is there no standalone App Engine status page? — then it’s certainly be massively redesigned.)
It's probably fair to call that a reasonable characterization of the Go's "home problem domain", though. Contrary to popular belief that "cloud" means you can just write crappy code and throw cheap hardware at it, when you are truly working at cloud scale you actually try to write software as lean and mean as possible, because everybody cares about 10x and 100x differences in the amount of hardware that a particular cloud service takes.

Yes, desktops continue to be gluttonous hogs, because you'd rather have your software now than glorious software three years from now (which you can't have anyhow because the company went out of business trying to polish it instead of releasing it). Lately "mobile" is really pushing it, I think. But in Go's wheelhouse, efficiency has actually manifested.

I've often thought that the there is less difference than you'd think between embedded programming and cloud programming; both groups of programmers may literally be counting cycles and watching their L1 caches. It's those in the middle who have more power sitting around than they know what to do with who can afford to be a bit "lazy".
It's way easier if the cafe also sells food. Me and 2 others basically built a company some years back out of a cafe in Sacramento, but we always bought lots of coffee and bought our lunch there as well. We all shared 1 table too so the space was used well, and of course talked to the owner who had no problem.

Here's a great way to discourage campers: no outlets, not even 1.

It could still be a case of one person's bloat being another's feature. Though for a website website, the other people could be advertisers, people who develop the site and people who publish content to it. There was a Mozilla report not too long ago that found that just disabling tracking (not ads) reduced page load times by almost half.
>UX/UI failure on the part of the coffee shop

I know this is HN, but is it necessary to shoehorn computer references into situations where it's not needed?
Shops should have colored or labeled cups associated to the time of purchase. Would a little shaming get people moving? Everyone would know how long everyone else has been there.
Why not use a library?
One major difference is that you have to order your DNA typically from a third party provider and they can screen for pathogenic sequences. We could probably stop malware if we could screen all the code before anyone was allowed to run it. I think the current system is reasonably robust for stopping novel syn bio pathogens.

In my mind the big risk comes with home based DNA printers. There are several close to getting to market (eg http://www.kilobaser.com/), at that point we lose control over what gets printed and then maybe there are concerns... though I do think creating a pathogen is really hard and most likely to end up killing the creator before anyone else.

There's probably not a good way to succinctly prove my capacity for empathy to you, but I think trying to link social grace and empathy is also incorrect in general.

Assume for the sake of argument that, as you suggested, you've identified a statement in the course of conversation that someone else might find offensive. What's your recourse and how does it benefit society?

If you've simply misinterpreted the person's meaning (which I'd argue is more often than not the case), you probably force them to spend time clarifying and maybe they endeavor to spend more time and effort to avoid similar misunderstanding in the future - all to avoid the hypothetical situation where they might have actually offended someone (who could have just asked for similar clarification).

Perhaps instead you've actually identified some unintentionally disclosed socially unacceptable bias that the person holds. The offense you've taken is still imaginary (I guess you'd argue it's actually empathetic) so chances are you're not in a good position to reshape that person's belief system - especially since hiding the belief in the first place suggests they know it's socially unacceptable. Rather, you're more likely just teaching the person to hide their bias more convincingly. I think most people find hidden bias much more insidious.

The best case, I suppose, is shaming some intentionally offensive statement. This one seems reasonable to me. However, if the statement was intentionally offensive, you probably didn't need the mental gymnastics to identify it in the first place.

I'm open to any counter-arguments you might have; I just thought I'd clarify my own stance since your accusation seemed a little harsh.
If it's possible, and you're interested in trying, it would be interesting to pull that code out and try it again with Go 1.5, if it's easy.

If you've got a C++ solution, I would not suggest under any circumstances short of Go suddenly and frankly mysteriously blowing the doors off of C++ that you switch... I'm just saying it would be an interesting comparison.

Awesome idea! If they could make it less ugly, I would prefer standardizing on this as a way to plot geographic data in certain cases.

Graphing by land area often means spending huge chunks of the map where nothing (relevant to a particular purpose) happens, and cramming all the interesting stuff into a few places on the coasts.

I dont regard SEO consultants as spammers.

Whenever they solicit me I respond immediately with links to my own SEO articles. Of course the very best SEO is for ones own website to go viral at an SEO board.

One enterprising young South Asian was obviously a clueless newbie so I gave my reply a great deal of care. A few hours later he responded with:

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that anyone's creative work is 'crap' or that I'm in position to judge it. I was referring to the'art' created only for the large payoff, such as a lot of pop music. But even that's an unfair stereotype.
