No, I don't use Twitter.

You should pay attention to what's happening over there. It's a good preview for what's coming.

Nor are they preventing anyone from getting it or using it.

You have an odd view of banning. Yes, that does prevent anyone from getting it or using it. That's like saying banning a book doesn't prevent anyone from getting it or reading it. People will find a way, but that doesn't mean we should encourage banning books.

You can have good code quality while making politically favorable decisions.

You can also have good code quality while making politically unfavorable decisions. You can also have good code quality while eating an all cucumber diet. The ridiculousness you would feel about being required to eat a cucumber sandwich before being allowed to commit code to github is exactly how I feel about being required to think politically correct thoughts before being allowed to commit code to github.
Ask your politicians for the lack of funding, then. Those guys are remote controlling robots on the surface of another planet for more than 10 years. They are capable of sending you to a tourist attraction in space with enough funding.
Yes, they knew it was offensive - to others. There is no indication that it actually offended them. Which, unless it did, it's not the same thing.
And I'd wager to say that by and far the more likely possibility is that the person is actually an idiot. Just given that savants are an extremely small subset of the general population and if the bell curve is anything to go by, at least 50% of all people are below average intelligence (whether inherently stupid or uneducated doesn't matter, from a pragmatic point of view the result is the same)

Cool project, but bragging about using a $10 Chinese Saleae Logic knockoff seems pretty scummy. Saleae is a tiny Bay Area company who make a great product and put a ton of hard work into their software, which is then shamelessly ripped off by the Chinese companies selling these inferior knock-offs which even steal their trademark.

If someone wrote a post about how buying the full collection of Zachtronics games for $5 from a Russian pirate site made them feel like a Gibson novel character, I imagine he’d be a bit less sanguine.
> The difference is that this has been Google's and Facebook's business model ever since they became profitable, while MS was in the business of selling software products to users.

I respect the point you are making, yet must point out that all it does is establish a timeline. There is no significant difference between the three companies' treatment of their customer base in this regard.

And don't forget, including Google _also_ includes Andriod.

> Given MS makes their money mostly with enterprise/businesses I doubt that this will succeed.

I believe it would not be a surprise to find that the enterprise/ultimate/wtf-ever-they-call-it are excluded from this. Of course, I'm sure a user could receive the same exemption should they choose to pay the fee...

> openssl enc

Careful. Openssl enc is basically a poor toy example, it's not a robust authenticated encryption tool for real world use.

It explicitly doesn't support modern AEAD ciphers or even a simple MAC (so the ciphertext can be silently tampered with - note anyone who can do that can also replace your par2 files), and it doesn't use a robust key derivation algorithm for password use (single-round of a hash, basically, default MD5 - about as weak as it comes).

hpenc looks like a nice high performance modern alternative: https://github.com/vstakhov/hpenc
I like your idea at the end there. Any known examples of this? Or maybe a proof of concept?

Maintaining it would be a pain. I'd like to see each company maintain their own table of terms and policies.

Other than maintenance, I'm concerned about how conditional sharing would be expressed succinctly... of course it's just a watered down version but you'd have to do it carefully.
If you're going to ask me to put away the dictionary you could try it without dragging out the thesaurus.
Apparently not.

This. Is. Censorship.

It's not in any way a debatable point.

The dynamic that's going on here is that people want to endorse censorship while avoiding using that word.
I just get annoyed when people mistakenly think they have a constitutional right to not be censored.

And I say that where, exactly?
The 1st season of Startup was great. It is broadcasted as someone telling a story. No suprise here as the producers are from the "This American Life" camp.

2nd season is a little flat compare to the 1st season, but still quite good.
Do you have any computer experience?
"Free Speech" isn't a blank check to say and do whatever you want. Even SCOTUS says that direct threats of violence aren't protected by the first amendment.

I'm tired of reading people nebulously defining "free speech philosophies" online to act as a shield to justify nefarious behavior on private property.

Free speech exists as a protection from government censorship, and it doesn't protect you for acting like a dick on someone else's website. This sums it up pretty well: https://xkcd.com/1357/
My high school English teach taught me to demonstrate rather then assign traits. Somehow between all the fluff I lost the author's message, and skipped to the last few paragraph.
You didn't, OP implied it by using the term free speech.
Because they are either wholly capitulating to a vocal minority or feel they are part of that minority. In both cases they are stepping on a slippery slope to insanity. The criterion used for this decision is necessarily wholly arbitrary, as what is deemed offensive differs with time and community. Now you have to worry whether your repo with a fortune file with some offcolor jokes is going to be banned. Whether your use of 'retard' for its original meaning is going to cause problems. Whether any other words I use may have connotations I don't know about
This seems like an interesting project, with interlinking, information icons etc. - nice for interactive walkthroughs. In a non-full screen mode it worked alright, but once in full screen, i experienced random jumps, like if mouse was misinterpreted...
The actual nightmare scenario is that people with learning disability are killed by doctors because those doctors think "retards have no quality of life". When people toss around the word retard they contribute to a culture that doesn't care about the high levels of violent hate crime experienced by people with a learning disability.

And most posts seem to miss the point: their servers, their rules. No one is stopping you from having an open source project that uses the word retard, they're just stopping you from using Github. There's a bunch of other censorship that Github does.

> You may not use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright or trademark laws).

This, in particular, is restrictive.

Best name ever!
It doesn't even have to be cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_sy...

>It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other transponder-equipped aircraft which may present a threat of mid-air collision (MAC).

> The next step beyond identifying potential collisions is automatically negotiating a mutual avoidance manoeuver between the two (or more) conflicting aircraft.

This works along side the ADS-B broadcasts for generally knowing where other planes are without ground based radar - however that's not going to be fully implemented until 2020 in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_dependent_surveillan...
> This article has nothing to do with Google and Facebook. It doesn't even mention them.

Agreed. My point was not that the article critiques either of those organizations, simply that this move by Microsoft is quite comparable. To the point of being indistinguishable, IMHO.

> I think the article's purpose is to dispute the claim that the terms aren't as "straightforward" as Microsoft would have us think, as evidenced by the sarcastic closing line, "So much for clearly understandable and straightforward terms of service."

I recommend detailed reading of the ToC's the various Google and/or Facebook offerings which you are interested in as well then. Perhaps they are less shrouded in "legalese", but I submit their implications are no less disturbing.
That is so cool. Cool enough in fact that I think I may get off my arse and move the 35k panoramas on clevr.com over to use it instead of my flash viewer that hasn't been updated in six years.
A couple of comments about the article. Firstly, if you're a pilot or into aviation, definitely read Fate is the Hunter. It's awesome. You'll need to get the paper version as it's not available for an ebook AFAIK.

A few folks in the article suggest 'slamming' the plane into a turn when ATC uses 'immediately'. That's really not a great idea in a variety of situations. Remember: aviate, navigate, communicate. AOPA has a great article this week on a situation where ATC screwed up and cleared a pilot for landing with another plane on final. He turned onto a tight base ready for short final and ATC told him to turn quickly. He executed a 60 degree bank/climb at 300 ft AGL and stall/spun the plane and put a 4 foot smoking hole in the ground. http://www.aopa.org/AOPA-Live.aspx?watch={384817B3-70C4-4147...

I'd add that I've been in the pattern at small airports around Colorado Springs with Air Academy pilots (and flown through the MOA's in the area) and they've always been polite and helpful. Although it sounds like the culture issue described comes up with military pilots on IFR plans around VFR civilians.

Are you talking about cigarettes or gay men? It's pretty easy for github.
3D Cellular Automata in Minecraft (2011) [video]
There are several minor erroneous points in this document. Here are the two that are probably the most egregious:

- The whole object and string representation thing is naïve to the point of total incorrectness. Where is the object and its length and type stored, for example? And browsers intern strings (store them once with garbage collection of some form to clear out the values when they are no longer needed) and don’t use null-terminated things (otherwise you couldn’t have "\0"), so your 320 bits is actually more likely to be 192 or 96, with the full 320 bits plus approximately three or six more words occurring only once. (I’m being a little vague about this because I’m not familiar with what specific techniques are actually used in browsers at present.) The end result of it all is that the actual figure will, I think, be more like 30–50 bytes per tile, not 60. (Then again, it may end up more, and it will definitely depend on the browser; I’m not up to date with the performance- and memory-efficiency techniques used.) I’m complaining here only because it’s misleading about how things are done; the concerns it raises are absolutely genuine.

- Bitwise operations on numbers are only 32-bit, not 64-bit. You want 64-bit bitwise operations? There’s no native support for it, you’ll need to emulate it. This is a part of the tangled mess that is a unified number type which can be either a 32-bit integer or a 64-bit floating point number.
Paul Graham notes "I could see myself—can see myself—making at least 4 of these 5 mistakes". I wonder which is the only one he doesn't easily see himself making? (Presumably, either #1 or #3, though his public persona is such that neither of these mistakes would be characteristic of it)
It retains that software using an open source software ecosystem. You can download git right now and start your own service.
They are caricaturists, nothing can offend them. You miss the point of their reasoning.
But that arbitrariness is baked into the user agreement and always has been.

> Probably because facebook is by design a mechanism of human communication. Github is a mechanism for sharing code.

Is code not a mechanism of human communication?
And in this case the word was used as profanity, to enable self-deprecation. It wasn't derogatory.
I don't need to use Twitter. Every time something interesting happens through twitter, people flock to forums and blogs to talk about it. Because Twitter is not a platform for mature, reasonable discussions. It's for self-promotion and advertising.

>Yes, that does prevent anyone from getting it or using it. That's like saying banning a book doesn't prevent anyone from getting it or reading it.

GitHub didn't ban anything. It edited it. In fact, it edited a part that you yourself said doesn't matter. "Code quality, not political ideology." Remember?

>The ridiculousness you would feel about being required to eat a cucumber sandwich before being allowed to commit code to github is exactly how I feel about being required to think politically correct thoughts before being allowed to commit code to github.

Or someone asking you to take your shoes off in their private home. It's so ridiculous. You should have a right to be rude in people's private spaces.

You know you don't have to login with a MS account right? that renders almost all of the privacy issues moot.
Right, I meant it as something of an insult. I'm fine with documents on the web. I'm fine with interactive documents on the web. I'm not fine with "web apps" that try to jump out of the browser, opening windows, redefining control-key sequences, breaking bookmarks, "open in new tab", and the back button, and otherwise interfering with my ability to control my own experience on the web.
No one I know uses it or will use it. Is there another reason I should?
If the setting are synced between computers and Cortana is a personal assistant, how they can work without backing up the data and collecting the behavior?
Most of the privacy invasion comes with logging in with a MS account. You can login with a standard windows or domain account and then all this integrated cloud stuff doesn't really apply.
It's pretty easy to point and shriek at something out of context. It's also pretty easy to use the word fag in a seemingly offensive way until you consider the author of said code may himself be gay. It's pretty easy for anybody to tell the difference, but is that going to make a difference after it becomes a public controversy? Or will github just pull it to be safe?
This is actually fairly untrue, as the AF is one of the only curriculum that enforces glider training. An ATP (air transport pilot) needs 1500h at least, but none of them in a glider :)
Obviously the word has acceptable uses (eg watch mechanisms). Equally fucking obviously the word is not being used in that way in this project.

I should've been more specific, I have ~6 years of linux experience as a hobbyist but most employers will not accept a hobby as a certified profession. I have managed game servers/IRC/email/apache/nginx/etc I know perl and use perl to automate some things, etc I know what I'm doing but I've yet to even get an offer from any employers
You make a cogent argument, which I almost completely agree (excluding an OS vendor storing account info on their own servers).

The consideration I hope to make evident now is: how do your points differ when applied to an Andriod device for which Google has been paid their licensing fees by the device manufacturer?

Facebook's offerings are different, true, yet their Machiavellain use of whatever is presented to them warrants inclusion in this type of discussion IMHO.

The Tragedy of iTunes and Classical Music
A foreshortening of "developmentalluly retarded" that became its own derogatory noun.

Again for someone who beat the drum about the fluidity of language you seem to have a tough time seeing it in action or accepting that new words can emerge via the context.
That's not entirely fair, either. I'm sure there are plenty of things that would offend them, but they understand that just because something is offensive does not make it wrong.
It's easy to go on the internet and virtue signal.

What sacrifice have you ever made toward the right of no race, person, or condition to not be offended?

What makes you so holier-than-thou, you can think it's ok to sit behind the keyboard like God and quash whatever idea runs contrary to your psyche?

There is a whole website called Twitter, where people act very pompous, very pious, but seldom have the fortitude to trouble themselves to help what they "fighting for". Kind of like how Occupy Wallstreet drank Coca Cola and brought iPhones to protests.
> nothing can offend them

Then they didn't die to protect speech they were offended by. I don't know how much clearer this can be.
When will socialists simply give up?

Infosys, Wipro and TCS lose over 1,00,000 people as automation kicks in
I agree that the word may be down on the offensiveness scale, but it is still offensive to some people.

Large organisations have such policies because they are aware that they are composed of people from diverse set of backgrounds. Unless you know exactly who the message is intended to, the delivery will always sounds vague / generic.

Before coming to Australia, I never knew that showing picture(s) of a deceased Aboriginal person is a cause of offense. If, say for example, a fatality occurred and the last group photo with the deceased Aboriginal was circulated (e.g. in memoriam memo), they would regard it as an offense even with the best of intentions.

TL,DR; Let's just be respectful and not call each other names.
Or someone asking you to take your shoes off in their private home. It's so ridiculous. You should have a right to be rude in people's private spaces.

Good job avoiding the argument altogether for this particularly uninteresting non-sequitur. You don't trust your livelihood to being able to take your shoes off at a friend's house.
> Curious why this is hackernews worthy?

It isn't.
I think Dijkstra's viewpoint is a bit "elitist" here. He talks about what are the best things students should learn (formal methods etc.) instead of talking about what would be the best ways to teach those to them. He takes the viewpoint of the professor, unsurprisingly, not the viewpoint of the student.

I'm tired of reading people nebulously defining "free speech philosophies" online to act as a shield to justify nefarious behavior on private property.

This thread has been very instructive for me. I've come to the conclusion that you either get free speech as a social virtue or you don't. It's clear to me that most people don't and even can't understand it from that point of view.

What that XKCD comic doesn't even consider is what happens when you're the one being shown the door? Would you go quietly?
