> Maybe she deserved to be fired, maybe she was a terrible officer. Let the company make that decision. I dont like tho mob rule aspect to her stepping down.

Her job was to preside over that mob. And apparently to monetize it. Pissing off that mob means she failed at her job.

In addition, not understanding that you are firing a key employee shows a dramatic level of ignorance. Reddit has so few employees that even an adequate CEO should know what every single employee is doing. This is just basic Management 101--"Know What Your People Do" or its corollary "Never Piss Off A Secretary" aka "Know Who Has The Real Power In Your Company".

Finally, from her attempt at PR positioning you get headlines like this: "It’s Silicon Valley 2, Ellen Pao 0: Fighter of Sexism Is Out at Reddit". Really? "Fighter of sexism". Um, she fired a woman, you know? And her behavior at Kleiner was far from exemplary. Her case for sexism would have been a whole lot stronger if she hadn't appeared to be sleeping her way up the corporate chain.

Overall, the problem seems to be the same tone-deafness as so many at this level of privilege: "The rules don't apply to me. How dare these plebeians attempt to make the rules apply to me!"
Yes, the board could have ignored users' opinions. But users weren't just complaining about Ms. Pao. They were complaining about the policy changes ("We ban behavior, not ideas.") that she was championing. If those policy changes continue under new management, I suspect that many Reddit users will vote with their "feet". To Voat or whatever. And given that Reddit sells users' eyeballs, that will reduce revenues.
The only thing I am saying, is that even mentioning negative events such as gamergate, triggers in readers the negative connotations associated with them, and it is a common tactic to sully opponent's arguments for that reason. So when possible, it is good to avoid those kinds of unproductive remarks unless there's a good tie-in, which so far there hasn't been, and I already elaborated on why it doesn't make any sense for there to be in my previous comment. If you seriously think that saying

> those last two lines read to me like a callout to #gamergate's "It's about ethics in journalism" BS.

was just a simple "This reminds me of gamergate", then you are the one putting words in people's mouths. The intention lies in the words "read to me like", implying that the original comment that was in response to, was invoking connotations of the gamergate event.

You are also applying the definitions of these fallacies you are mentioning rather selectively. Because if I am a hypocrite, then your argument that those gamergate parallels are more valid than the godwin invocations is equally hypocritical. A logical fallacy is not a matter of degree, it is a binary evaluation: either an argument is valid or it is not.
Everything you said is correct.

Where can I find like-minded people that understand the sustainability of total transparency? I've been struggling to find such a community for years.

That point about popular adaption was good. It's clear that what psychologists are debating and what happens on TV are different. Far as sociopath vs psychopath, psychologists tell me they're both mostly pop-psych terms with meanings that vary due to who you're talking to. The only one they mention is Anti-social Personality Disorder. I'm under the impression that they focus more on the potential psychopath's individual traits and less on the categorization itself. I've seen some interesting categorizations which seemed to be there just to have one. They treated the symptoms.

He was an interesting character. He exhibited that kind of behavior. Yet, it could easily be his upbringing especially if growing up under and around hustlers. The guy might have never been taught better. So, I call that sort of thing bad character, a bit evil, but not all out psychopath in my book. This may not be everyone, but I tend to associate it with people who clearly have no conscience and seem to compulsively do these things. I've met them and they stand out from the average bad apple.

Either the article or a commenter mentioned them getting back at people years later. The inability to let go without doing what they were compelled to do. Many I've met had that trait, too. That's why you figure out what pisses them off and avoid it. Assuming you can't avoid them... (sighs)
Didn't read it yet, but I love the title.

This is interesting. I want to try CBT myself. I am not prone to violence (thank god) but I do have some bad habits I want to get rid of, such as procrastination.
Yes, and Google is happy to sell you all manner of Nazi items:

https://www.google.com/search?q=nazi+swastica&ie=utf-8&oe=ut...

Not to mention copies of the Mein Kampf, etc.

Thankfully, the various non-Nazi uses of the swastika appear to be the most popular, but you can find plenty of Nazi items. I dislike the meaning of both symbols, so I have a hard time imagining any logic where it's okay to sell one of them but not the other.
> Part of the user base did both.

Wait, what? You can raise "reasonable" concerns while harassing someone? Harassment makes raising "valid concerns" not well-argued or reasonable.
"4. I actually think the FOSS vs. licensing cost are somewhat orthogonal issues. I distribute my software under the MIT license, but only to those people who pay me about US $25,000. This is something the FSF encourages, as a way to bring revenue to a project. However, it only works because I'm not trying to establish some sort of "community" but prefer a vendor/customer relationship."

Why the MIT license then? Do you figure that people who paid $25k for the software aren't going to go upload it to github for all to see?

It's really the Mach implementation, complexity, and performance that I have against it. Close to a decade was spent trying to secure Mach-based systems even at the design level. The L4-style and separation kernels took around a few years each to do it down to implementation. Other concerns were pushed into simplified components which could be independently verified and even run in kernel-mode if absolutely necessary for performance.

A similar approach with a UNIX would be Minix 3 or GenodeOS. And IPC on L4 and sep kernels is FAST: often stays in L1 cache. :) Although I still prefer pointer-passing architectures instead for performance. Just not many capability-centered hardware schemes around anymore outside CheriBSD. So, we gotta work the MMU and kernel/user mode to our benefit. Take what we can get.

EDIT: to add "what we can get." Submitted prematurely for unknown reason.
This looks like a fantastic replacement for a lot of microcontrollers that handle things like PWM sensors.
"Many factors drive the firing of a gun, pulling the trigger alone could not be to blame"

Of course many factors are involved in the tuition rise but the available of loans with perverse incentives is well-recognized as driving force whereas various other factors involve adaption to that force.

And your argument that the rise might be justified is completely irrelevant to the question of the 'cause.

I'd just say that a society has an incentive to not have the price of everything be at a purely economic-utility/market driven rate - preventing the buying and selling of air, natural resources, internal organs and so forth comes to mind.

In that vein, what is preferable "free education for all" or "Monstrous Faustian bargains for all"?

>>> "Poor people are making economic decisions not to come out ahead but to mitigate their losses"

It's not just those below the poverty line, all of humanity does this... even the rich.

But where did I say they are dumb? I know some incredibly smart people that are horribly off financially. I also didn't say they were the only ones with poor decision making skills. Sometimes the situation is a product of their upbringing or environment, sometimes it is because of willful ignorance or willing risk.

Please don't think I'm denying that for the most part lower socio-economic classes are more liable to be exploited. I understand how class mobility has become increasingly difficult in recent times. I believe in a minimum wage.

But ignoring an important facet of the issue because it's uncomfortable isn't going to get you any closer to solving the causes of the problem. Besides, the good news is you can teach financial literacy and decision making.
When people in charge of ethics have no ethics where does that leave us?
All you need is regular antialiasing, not subpixel antialiasing. To be precise about what I mean: drawing a black line on a white background with regular antialiasing will produce only black, white and gray pixels. Subpixel antialiasing will produce colored pixels. What I'm saying is that you don't need the colored pixels to produce smooth motion.

The site banned posting personal information has enacted various community standards long before anything that happened recently. There is a pretty clear history, intent, and common sense around banning communities from using the to organize harassment and bringing other vile things into the world. They could have communicated that better, but there is no 180 to speak of.
I read this article twice and I did find it interesting. However, this title doesn't make sense within the context of the article. Other than a contrived example they made up about rich kids possibly submitting to criminals while poor kids may not, this article focused solely on poor communities and mentorship programs.

On balance, the programs seem to work well in helping people get their lives together by giving them information, mentorship and resources. This does beg the question though: Are people being arrested because they are impulsive or disadvantaged as they did not provide contrasting evidence.

Also, in America nearly 50% of the population are in for drug offenses according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons data current as of may 30th, 2015[0] If all drugs were legal, and convictions on all other crimes collectively didn't double, less people would be in prison.

Docker's native CNM (Container Network Model) provides a out-of-the-box solution to support this use-case. Pls refer to https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/design... for more info on Docker CNM. This eliminates the need for any custom scripts to achieve the swappable use-case that you have in mind.

The CNM is realized using the newly introduced Experimental Networking solutions which includes : Network & Service UI, Pluggable Service-Discovery and Native Multi-Host cross-container connectivity. More information on trying out these experimental feature :
https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/experimental/ne...
https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/experimental/RE...

Service (aka endpoint) owns the networking configs (such as ip-address, mac-address, etc...) and the container that backs the service can be swapped while retaining the same networking and service configs. Hence swapping a container between older to newer version of app server is just a matter of detaching a service from the older container and attaching the same service back to the newer container. Also, Please note that a container can belong to multiple networks and each container can publish different services in different network.

With these simple and composable CNM design, your use-case can be mapped to the CNM model. A quick diagram explaining the concept : https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1LvD94UwfinQelpEqT9BaRYmi...

We can add more detailed documentation for this specific use-case. Please join us in https://github.com/docker/libnetwork and IRC@freenode #docker-network channel to discuss this in more detail.
Ask HN: How do I keep child porn out of my site?
(Pardon this disturbing subject interfering with your Friday night rest and my (very necessary) throw away account.)

A year or two ago I started an image sharing site that's been modestly successful in terms of traffic (a blessing). No money or fame, but it's nice to see movement.

I try to filter user uploads to at least classify the sexual stuff (80% of it) as nsfw and feature good stuff on the homepage. This is excruciatingly time consuming with 6000 galleries posted per day, but I suffer through it as I can.

Sadly, I've noticed a huge amount of extremely taboo photos on the site. From rape and bdsm, which I can kind of tolerate, all the way to extreme child porn. The latter is extremely disturbing.

Amazingly, these people post this openly.

I never see the press talking about the nsfw side of Youtube, Tumblr, Reddit, Imgur, and others. How do those sites deal with this problem? What kind of content filtering systems do they use to keep the visible parts of the site clean? How many interns are flagging photos all day long? Is it wise to allow these pages to be indexed? What's my legal burden under Safe Harbor?

And.. more importantly.. how does the organic traffic in the nsfw sections play into the strategy of these huge user-generated content sites.

NB. I've attempted to build user profiles and a kind of self-moderation system, akin to how Reddit flagging works, but my users seem to be mostly interested in "one thing," and no community-focused members have emerged so far. I still have hope, but need a solution that I can use now.
Spoken like someone who's never faced true evil.
Start with an existing language (Brand X). Reimplement it almost identically with modern-looking syntax. Improve and worsen it with some change. Give it a new name. Apparently a method that works:

http://cowlark.com/2009-11-15-go/

In all seriousness, though, they could've just independently rediscovered a lot of wise design decisions. Strange if they'd never seen this one studying programming language history, though. I'm with the author wishing they applied the innovations that have happened in recent decades or even new ones. Julia is an example of an imperative one that tries to do that.
> But if you ask them if you can plant a camera in their bedroom for the purposes of recording their sex lives, they would most certainly reject.

Of course they would reject. They've been brainwashed to think this is bad. And so was society. That will have to change.

I'm advocating total transparency. Everything.

Right. So it's a great deal. Even without the runway.

I think that intelligence gathering is just a cover, or a rationalization, for something more base: some nasty muslim guys killed 3000+ Americans on 9/11, so let's get some revenge on another set of muslims and torture them. It's tit for tat.
Pieter Hintjens is writing a series on psychopaths. I found what I've read so far to be worth my time.

I think it has a lot to do with how he handled it. He immediately came out after making that comment and said he screwed up big time and was really sorry. People took that as sincere, and I did too, since it was really only a single comment.
It really depends on the resolution, doesn't it?
Let's do a sanity check on this.

Cloud height is at about 60,000 feet maximum (in the tropics http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/clouds/height_max.htm). Let's be generous and say this is 20 km maximum height.

Earth's diameter is 12742 km. The clouds are about 0.15 % of this size, relatively speaking. The full images are about 11k by 11k, so we can say that 1 px is roughly 1 km. This means that the clouds will be on the scale of 20 pixels, roughly.

You know what, this might actually work.
Your blanket statement is false. Even professional teams playing online tournaments regularly deal with 200+ ms (EU vs. NA, etc.). It's not ideal, but playable.
Yep.

Something like this will only be economical if you really plan on only using it for the occasional single player game a few times a year.

If you use it to play games regularly at even modest frequencies (20+ hours per week), the 50c per hour will quickly start to accumulate and become a recurring monthly bill of $40+.

At that point you might as well invest in a decent gaming desktop and stream from it instead. A i3 + 750 TI based system can match the performance of this setup and would cost less than $500 all-in, which is about the cost of 1 year of streaming from this setup at 20 hrs per week. You'll get a much better experience due to the much lower latency and not having to worry about penny pinching on every session.

Do you have any proof of this? That seems highly unlikely.
Yes, the racism during Ferguson was appalling. Asian storeowners getting their stores looted and burned down, just for being Asian. White cops getting shot at just for being white. And a violent robbery suspect's family calling for a town to be burned down over phony charges of bias.
Back in Roman and Medieval times, torture was not considered inappropriate. There was no need to conceal it. Typically the accused was assumed to be guilty, and torture was a just a way to get him to confess to what the court already "knew" was true. Otherwise the trial could not proceed.
The attackers stole legitimate login credentials. Encryption wouldn't help with that.
I wonder how many "single bit errors" are due to hardware faults vs. how many are due to software accidentally setting/unsetting a single bit binary flag through a wild pointer. It would also be interesting to know what percentage of the errors were a zero-to-one flip vs. a one-to-zero, and how well this matches with the expectation of the direction of actual single-bit hardware errors (which I also don't know). Actually, it's also interesting to know which bits were more likely to change; presumably hardware errors are distributed evenly over the eight different bits of a byte, while one might guess that flag bits erroneously (re)set by software might be more likely to be in the low end of a byte.
I think this is more of a rorschach test for how forgiving a person you are toward harassment in general than it is a refutation of the presented examples. It is tedious to look at all the links, but allow me to illustrate with my interpretations of those same comments:

1) It is targeted toward the reader in second person narrative, frankly informing them that they are surrounded by people that hate them in everyday life. The tone is not sarcastic or satirical. It has literally no other purpose than directing genuinely intended emotional abuse at real people.

2) It's discussion of pictures of a specific person on reddit, who was easily found and connected to the picture. And as a rule it's easy to find the source of crossposted pics which causes them to be often, if not always, facilitate contact between hopeful harassers and their victims.

3) You seem to be claiming that posting in a thread tacitly constitutes permission for abuse and transforms harassing comments into non-harassing comments. To put it lightly, that theory stands in need of elaboration.

4) It just means you're working with a very forgiving, permissive view toward harassment.

5) See #2 and #4

6,7,8 and 9 are more or less covered by the above.

You're not disputing 10.

11) from what I can see there is a commenter asserting it was a fabrication by a troll, providing links to pages that are no longer accessible. Given the context of many willing accusers and willing apologists on all sides, that doesn't seem like much of a debunking to me.

And just as a big picture gloss, no one posting comments in those threads is mincing over those fine distinctions like we're trying to do here. They're just posting a lot of vile comments and leaving it to everybody else to debate whether it can be proven to be harassment to a degree that holds up under the most granular, forgiving analysis possible. In the cases where it's not harassment, it isn't due to anything approaching principled restraint on the part of the participants. Crossposted pics, for example, may lead to direct harassment or they may not, depending on how people respond to them. The possibility of facilitating harassment clearly isn't stopping people from going ahead and posting them, as the examples above illustrate.

Just to make sure we don't miss the forest for the trees here, that lack of restraint in and of itself is an indictment of their behavior, and should be cause for unequivocal condemnation of how community management was handled on reddit long before we even get to the point of arguing whether specific instances technically count as harassment according to this or that preferred definition.
> It would be nice to know why they're so intransigent about it.

I think people have very strong convictions (maybe even inborn in us) about how the society should be organized, that contradict empirical evidence.

One example is emphasis on punishment, rather than on consensus or other form of persuasion. There is just another article on HN about how psychotherapy may be a better tool for young criminals than putting them into jail. Torture falls into a similar category, IMHO.

From evolutionary standpoint, this is perhaps understandable. Punishment is good enough strategy and evolution probably didn't have time/resources to come up with something better, such as more complicated systems of therapy and intelligence gathering and whatnot. Huge societies of today can however afford such advances and don't have to rely on these crude methods.
