What word would you use for a left-wing activist who aggressively wants to name and shame, or purge, or get fired, or get banned, any person on the right who crosses a certain line? These types of people exist, is is a real phenomena, so it needs a name.
Replace Reddit with pretty much any site on the Internet. Many sites love it because hate == emotion == more clicks == profit! They figured this out a long time ago.

The problem is that this mindset would be fine if it was just on an Internet forum. But it is now made itself into real life with real consequences.
The patches were rejected because they didn't provide a working solution for cross platform support. The plugin system in Neovim is only "better" for people who actually want async plugins. I am not one of them.

It was, right after the new CEO said it's NOT a bastion of free speech someone found a quote from a founder saying that it was precisely that:

Depends where you are and what your situation is.

My personal experiences with recruiters (free range as opposed to company-employed) have been very bad over the years, so I'd recommend avoiding them if possible. Every one of them will testify how they are "different", too. Yeah, right.

I don't think the online tech hiring startups have proved themselves yet. My experience, again, is that that they're more a pretty face over the same old "technical interview" crud that we know and love. Your mileage may vary of course...
> pseudonymity online will be looked back on by future generations as our time's Klan hood

I don't think we'd like to trivialize online abuse and threats, but comparing it to the klan? Seriously.

With Ms. Pao, she's shrewd in trying to get all the sympathy mileage from the Kleiner case to Reddit. Everyone loves a victim.

EDIT: Thanks pc86
I don't know about that. I am not looking to date anyone, but would love to make more friends in the area. Don't forget: not everyone is young and single.
> People used to love trolls!

No they didn't.

> crashing the party but having fun with it.

I'm sure you and your friends were having fun with it. The people whose parties you crashed? Probably not so much.
> if it's implemented with a method that causes browsers to turn off async pan/zoom.

What technique would cause that?
The problem it creates is that you lose customers.

People want the ability to have joint accounts. A joint account generally has a credit limit set by the income of the higher-paid (or wealthier) of the two but allows both people to have a card and make payments. Imagine a simple scenario: one spouse works, the other does not; the one who doesn't work often does the shopping.

Very cool, thanks so much for the link!
Many of responses I read here are infuriating because many are deliberately ignoring the issue of harassment by claiming it's a free speech issue. In the US you do not have 100% freedom of speech. If you deliberately incite violence against another person through speech, you can be charged with a crime. You can face a lawsuit for assault without touching the victim. You can be charged for, say, harassing others in the workplace. You certainly have the right to speak your mind, but if you think you have the right to deliberately cause severe mental distress, not through mere discussion of your points, but through repetitive and abusive language and getting your cohorts to join you in the assault, you are absolutely mistaken. Even if we were to assume some enshrined right to harass individuals, perhaps it's not the best way to go about a disagreement.

Further, people are choosing to get angry over the false binary of freedom vs harassment, and choosing to ignore the third option of choosing empathy, tact, or clear and fair discussion over slinging barbs at others.

I'm reading comments along the lines of 'well, it couldn't have been that bad' or 'I don't know enough about the extent of the harassment, but I'm going to comment about semantics or the 100 percent accuracy [as opposed to, say, 90 percent] of her claims anyway!' Your comments are pointless and dance around the actual issue of abuse. You fail to feel any sort of empathy because you yourself are not the victim.

I hear people making fun of the concept of 'microaggression' because they fail to adequately understand its meaning. The point is that it's really easy to throw a one-line insult to someone, but in aggregate it can cause great distress, because the throwaway comments of a thousand people can feel like one very persistent stalker. People dismiss this by saying 'oh it's normal' and recommend they just ignore it. Frankly, the point is that it should not be normal, and some people have difficulty ignoring it.

And I know some will deliberately choose to misconstrue what I'm saying here. No, I'm not saying that we should censor the Internet and ban all controversial discussion. I would just hope that more people become aware that it is a real issue that people face, and that commenters should be aware of their own actions and reevaluate how they choose respond to conflicts.

Mindful deliberate diaphragmatic breathing has allowed me to completely overcome panic attacks.

A simple exercise to learn diaphragmatic breathing is to lay down on your back and put a textbook on your stomach. Place your hand on your chest. Focus on each inhalation only moving the book, your hand/chest should not move at all :)
Knuth is a fool? That is, he's one of many famous coders who rarely use unit tests.

Personally, I agree with James O Coplien's views in "I'm with Why Most Unit Testing is Waste". Coplien is certainly no fool.
Often people have more than one social circle. Sometimes I've met some new people because one of my friends has decided to get some people from two of their social circles together, and I'm in only one of them. Maybe you could work this into your app - I've rarely hung out with people I have no social connection to.
What her daughter may perceive as "abuse" can be very subjective. That's why censorship in general is never a good idea. Learning to "dismiss" it as noise is a more scalable and elegant approach, and doesn't limit anyone's freedoms in a subjective way.
I consider beeing coerced to use a limited set of services (for some functionalities) a huge disadvantage. It is a question of control and autonomy over your systems. Do you have control over your machine, or is it the other way around?

> having control over the whole product gives you advantages others won't have

And that is exactly what you abandon, as a user of locked-in software.

I concur infsofar, as there is a set of real world applications, where the advantage you describe really counts. Industrial control systems or hardware for medical applications for example.
It's also an indicator that email isn't the best communication mechanism for everything. A lot of these messages you refer to are simply one-way notification style message that really are better served in a push notice style format: Short, one-way, and ephemeral.

Can we supplement email with some other open standard communication mechanism that fits better for notifications?
They're possibly optimizing for the wrong metric, or at least a metric you don't care about. I'd think they'd want repeat viewers. A bad UX will mean fewer repeat viewers, and possibly an unsustainable business. Classic short-term vs long-term view. Problem with this is it's generally harder to measure long term, so short term becomes easier to justify.

Do you think you could gain knowledge without using slurs and ad hominems? The only reason to do that is to provoke and hurt feelings.
Right, which is why we have courts to determine the validity of the claims.
Interesting!

If you want to avoid space assembly, you can always just refuel. Even that gets you far since in many cases propellants are a large proportion of spacecraft mass.

But why would you avoid docking?

Even Apollo had it as a critical part of the mission. Twice! (The CSM turned around and docked to the lunar module after translunar injection.)

Just want to say, that is a really nicely written and presented article. Loved the way it had a good lead-in, clear and well explained examples with good screenshots, and how it dug into the whys and also explored the future without driving some agenda other than its main point of understanding the cruft problem. I realize the point of the article wasn't about quality of content but more about all the clutter around the content, but it bears saying, if the author is here to hear, that this was some really well done content.
We just had our first child 4 weeks ago. Relationship with sleep has completely changed. Before I'd need ~8hour of straight sleep to feel completely rested, anything less I felt like my brain was very sluggish.

4 weeks later that number is 5-6 hours.

Also relationship with coffee has completely changed. 4 weeks ago drinking a strong ~16 oz of coffee in the morning would keep me up all night. Now I drink multiple cups throughout the day and can pretty much sleep at will :)

Sleep has been very light and dreams not super vivid, every now and then will fall into a vivid dream but not lucid

That's true- but I think it would've made the app even more difficult to work. Maybe it's a feature I can add when I have more users.

In the US, apparently, there's a new and cheaper Pyrex that's ordinary tempered glass. Elsewhere, it still the good stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex
One good way to start would be to add the url/details in this post as well.
Next, as suggested in other comments Reddit is nice, then Quora is also big hangout for many of your target audience (at least in India).
Would probably need more details on the product to suggest anything more specific.
If you are willing to spend some money, make a fb page and get some fb ads with product details, beta tester incentives and target to specific universities/colleges/companies perhaps...

> How to do this with lithographic processes is an open question

You don't, for economic reasons: the latency of chip manufacturing, i.e. time from initial wafer to finished, is already on the order of weeks. Producing more layers lithographically is going to multiply that latency. Not to mention that it would be a nightmare in terms of yield/manufacturing defects.

What is doable (and already done, I believe) is producing multiple chips in parallel and then stacking them on top of each other. Don't think cores spread across multiple layers; think alternating layers of cores and caches, or a layer of cores with layers of memory stacked on top. (This approach doesn't have the yield problem because you can test the chips before you stack them together. It's a technology that is going to see a lot of improvement still.)

Heat transfer is still a problem, though, simply because the number of transistors scales with the volume, i.e. cubically in the "radius", while the surface area available for heat transfer only scales quadratically.

P.S.: When chip people talk about "metal layers", they mean the layers of wiring (also called the BEOL, back-end-of-line). So increasing the number of metal layers does not actually increase the number of transistors. Also, when chip companies talk about "using N layers" in their current technology, that does not mean that N transistors are stacked on top of each other. It means that there is one layer of transistors, and N layers for connecting wires above.
Quite a few of us feel otherwise.
There is a nice digital logic simulator called TKGate (http://www.tkgate.org/) which is good for learning. Not web based however.
I saw the front page, and many (most?) were not of the "ching-chong cunt" variety. I witnessed a lot of misplaced hate (we now know is "misplaced" after the fact) but there's a difference between "flaming" someone and using racist/bigoted language.

Hey guys, Slava @ RethinkDB here. I'll be around all day to answer questions.

We're super-excited about this beta. We've been working on Raft, automatic failover, and all the relevant enhancements for over a year. It's a massive engineering project that's getting very close to production quality, and it feels so good to finally get it into people's (proverbial) hands!
Ask HN: How do you use land and expand to crack enterprise deals?
We are a SAAS startup with a product targeted towards developers. We've done pretty well in the last 3 years and we currently do about $ 15 Million in revenues with very high profitability. We've got thousands of customers and we think we sell primarily through word-of-mouth.

Here's the problem:

Most of these deals are fairly small (on average $ 800 - $ 1000 per customer per year). We haven't cracked the large enterprise deals nor do we have a dedicated sales team that does outbound sales. Most of them handle inbound sales queries of which there a lot. I'm specifically referring to deals ranging from $ 50k to $ 500k a year. We've got maybe 5 customers who give us more than $ 50k a year.

How do we solve this issue of getting enterprise customers who pay us a lot of money year on year? I've been reading up on land and expand and I suppose there are 2 strategies we could adopt: (1) Sell more products or licenses to client's current team (2) Get references to other teams in their organization and sell to them.

We're just not sure how to go about this. Can any one comment on how a SAAS company can move up a value chain - how do you get the introductions to other teams, how do you identify the internal champion in your client's team who can push things for you, how do you pitch for more licenses, do you upsell during renewals etc.? Are there any case studies or blogs / articles I could refer to that talks about how other startups have gone about this?

The thing is, there is no big yellow line between aggressive politics and warfare. If someone gets me fired from my job, that is actually worse for me than if I get punched in the face. And while many SJW's don't engage in violence themselves, they do play the role of trumpeter, and the trumpeter should be considered a type of warrior - http://www.bartleby.com/17/1/79.html And there are plenty examples of the left either using the state to engage in violence to further left-wing causes, or in tying the hands of the state to allow left-aligned mobs to engage in violence.

The defining trait of SJW is not that they are activists for a cause. If they were just trying to win hearts and minds so they could win at the ballot box, that would be one thing. The defining trait is that they use any means at their disposable to defeat their enemies: naming and shaming, purging, getting people fired, getting people banned from communities, lawsuits, criminal complaints, etc. That is the mentality of warfare, and deserves to be called as such.

Thanks for the nice words.
We're going to add changefeeds that can survive short client disconnects in 2.2, and add further reliability features for changefeeds in the following versions.
Imgur is already bloated. As for reddit, I'm curious about what makes you think they're drifting towards bloating. They use JavaScript (replying to a comment creates a new textarea), AJAX (posting a comment), WebSockets (real-time updates of comment timestamps), modals (sign up), but they do this in a very moderate way and the result is really robust. It seems to me that they perfectly know the power of all these technologies but have a very strong QA which doesn't let a single shit get pushed in prod.
Hi Mike! Great work!

So when do you think we'll be able to make a solid app using React Native and cljs on iOS? What's the biggest impediment for being able to do that now?
That's a non-sequitur to the claim that social norms (of the variety that Reddit is attempting to establish) tend to become codified into law, for better or worse.

Of course, that's a non-sequitur to the claim that Reddit is an entity that has no obligation to be a platform for entirely-uncensored expression, though even that is a cop-out argument against those who cite Reddit as having a reputation of free expression.

Basically, this whole discussion is gibberish.
I'm going to add that it's also really nice for budgeting. If you want 2 people to get on the same budget you have to show the benefits of the budget.

Also I don't pay 1/2 my mortgage and my wife pays the other 1/2 we pay it all together (from the one account). We actually turned down an account with Plastic because no shared accounts.

We each have an individual credit card but that's more for tracking if we are meeting our own budgeting goals. But those are still linked to the other person.

Also, joint accounts make a situation where something happens to your spouse MUCH easier to handle. If something were to happen to me I'd want my wife to still be able to pay for Daycare, Mortgage, etc for as long as our savings would allow.

This is part of why divorce is hard on so many levels. The paperwork alone is crazy.
You could look for top universities in Brazil and India in google, and then look for Facebook and Linkedin communities among those universities. After that you can post a message in those communities looking for beta testers.
That is the very last of my concerns with Clojure, as I usually just launch the JVM once and then start developing while everything is running.

I'll take a slower launch any day if it means less code to write, more rubust programs, more code reuse and everything else Clojure brings to the table :)

Reliable feeds (and much more) is coming in 2.2. I think we found an elegant solution[1] that will make different types of users happy, so it'll be exciting to ship it!

[1] https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/3471
some background: the ClojureScript compiler has recently been bootstrapped, effectively giving us two different versions of the compiler, "ClojureScript JS" which only relies on a JS runtime, and the original "ClojureScript JVM" which will continue to be the default choice, partly because the benefits afforded by the Google Closure compiler (written in Java) are huge and irreplaceable.

The "ClojureScript JS" compiler cannot replace the original compiler fully, but is already finding some great use-cases, such as this new insanely fast Planck REPL, targeting new platforms like iOS (see Replete, Ambly, React Native), an in-browser try-it-out REPL for our upcoming website, the ability to try out new libraries from a webpage, and possibly adding ClojureScript support to CodePen.

Lot of great stuff coming.
Smaller transistors can flip state more quickly with less energy, so usually a die-shrink allows higher frequencies.

There's a limit to how much you can crank these things before power consumption becomes ridiculous and heat dissipation is impossible.

You can make a 10GHz CPU if you're prepared to require a massive liquid helium cooling system and have a power consumption of 15KW.
Then I think we agree. Because I really dislike the phrase "man hours".
Yes, email me.
Social norms change. Samurai used to ride around and slice people in half just because they could. Public hangings and lynchings used to happen all the time. Most places in the world have eradicated that sort of murder out in the open, and the ones that haven't are making concerted efforts to stop it.

There's nothing about human culture that's consistent except its inconsistency and adaptability. It might not be obvious within a few decades, but big changes do happen.
Hmm. Now I'm thinking that I might end up using your idea (scraping the dark web) and using something like httrack[0] to do exactly that: structure.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Telerik (and similar) components are great for getting you a lot of functionality straight out of the box, with minimum time and effort.

Where they break down is when you need to make any sort of non-trivial customization or business-specific use case. At that point, it's easier and more maintainable to build things from scratch, or with more loosely coupled base components.
