Nice! I tried building a way dumber version of this for myself, but based on ~realtime data. This looks better.

I don't think that's true. I'm specifically talking about the top-down rather than democratic or collaborative imposition of moral frameworks. Though the creation of this document was ostensibly democratic - though, without p

This isn't in any way about gender identity, it's about the fact that there _isn't_ a universal values system. You mentioned the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand - do you notice a pattern there? Throw in Canada and you&#x27

I mean, the idea of a Universal Code of Conduct, as far as I can tell, is actually an interesting new one. However, it reads like it's been written entirely by Californian twenty somethings, and it looks like there is no input from for

> This is such a strange trend. Organizations are adopting American style progressive ethos, but not via their explicit values but via inserted HR processes that seem to be en vogue. Exactly. I think it's obviously dangerous to allo

I'm not trying to personally nitpick any of the individual points, since there's already a process in place for that discussion, I'm just asking if it ever crosses a line into cultural imperialism, and if so, where is that li

Asking for discussion: Is there a point at which imposing a specific set of left-wing American cultural values upon functionally autonomous communities elsewhere around the world becomes a form of cultural imperialism? To leave a more posit

Somebody brought these burgers to a cookout, and I gotta say, they went faster than the real meat did! I tried cooking them at home on the stove and it was a disaster, but they were awesome off of the grill. They definitely need some good s

You're right, but the article says: > Using the portable MRI device, researchers from Yale found evidence of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumors in patients presenti

This looks small enough that it might just be possible to keep it in an ambulance, which would be an absolute game changer for treating stroke. Stroke treatment medication must be taken IMMEDIATELY to avoid permanent brain damage, but there

As I mentioned in another comment, I'm apparently the person who said this, but I think the tone of the article strips the talk of all of its context. The talk was largely meant to be salty and humorous, not critical security advice. T

In my talk, I said production data, not production code.

Weirdly enough, this article is about me. I only noticed because I read HackerNews - I was never contacted by the author. The talk was a comical one, not one meant to be a grand security revelation reported in this way.

Devastating news. I just spoke about his work (and what to do about it) during my recent keynote at PyConJP, I was just about to send him the video of it, now I can't. A horrible feeling. I met David after a reading one time, a very ki

I'll take the bait, and say the exact opposite: I firmly believe that queuing is the very basis for, and perhaps definition of, civilization itself. (British, can't you tell?)

Neat, but I think this is below the HN quality standard.

I'm not saying somebody should Rambo it or anything like that. We need an equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials or the International Criminal Court but for these kinds of deliberate corporate crimes that result in mass death and destructi

I think the Media Lab's most widely known project was probably the failed One Laptop Per Child initiative, which I think perfectly illustrates my point. Turns out what people in the third world need isn't donated laptops, it'

I'm not saying that at all, I'm saying very specifically: The material conditions of people alive in the west today are significantly worse than they were in 1999, largely as the result of the ascendance of the digital platforms a

I've been thinking about some of these guys a lot lately. When are we going to collectively unpack the fact the Media Lab/Berkman Center project has been a complete failure? I worked at these places and mingled on the outskirts, a

I recently read the screenplay to 2001. An interesting thing mentioned in the script, but not shown in the film, is that all of the images of beautiful space ships in the early sequence of the film are in fact space-based nuclear missile la

Woah. Can you elaborate a bit on that? What drugs? How did he get caught? Did his nation try to intervene on his behalf?

You would have to use the airplane toilet. Immediately after stepping off the plane, you are scanned by some kind of scanning IR(?) camera, which I assumed was looking for drugs. I actually had some vitamins in a baggie which I was shitting

I was there for nearly two weeks and explored as much as I could. That was my impression. I just checked, and Singapore actually does have the lowest fertility rate in the world, by a large margin: 0.83. The notorious infertile Japan is at

Singapore is a weird place. During the flight, the stewardesses walked around and handed everybody something - I was expecting a wet towel, but in fact it was a card in multiple languages which says "If you are about to bring any amoun
