It seems kind of silly that certain browsers download it again. Isn't it stored as temp data somewhere? They should only have to rename it. I'm actually happy with the way Chrome handles downloads in that it starts the download before you c

This is by far the most annoying aspect to me. The API constantly shifts with or without an email from Facebook, which means you're lucky to find any resource online that's up to date— including the API docs themselves.

I think the gp was saying that the brand — as in, the perception of AWS— will suffer, not the actual services. Anyone with an ounce of server knowledge would know it's impossible to keep a website up for 100% of the time, so downtime at Am

Like everyone else said, it's not exactly that. It's like getting paid $10k in exchange for a TV, then giving it back but not getting the TV back in return.

I think they're counting the loss of the merchandise. So a chargeback for a $10,000 TV would be like losing $10,000 plus whatever the cost of the TV was for the store.

I was about to quote the other parts of her post, but then I realized it's not worth the effort. If you don't acknowledge them after having presumably read the post, you're not going to do so when I quote them, and you'll probably throw som

Is this a joke? She just gave a bunch of them in her post.

I've heard those exact sentiments expressed on this very website , from people who were sitting at positive karma. It really isn't hard to see sexism in technology. It's a shame every time this subject comes up, guys clamor to be the first

That's a great point. I think I will start using that method for defining routes, myself.

In that case, you would collapse the top comment chain and be shown nothing underneath, since HN only shows X amount of total comments before requiring you to click More . I think HN would have to increase the total number of comments per

They were using their feelings to back up their point. If their feelings are misguided, the point they were trying to make is invalid. There is no proof that they would ever be publicly humiliated for misusing a pronoun, so to live in fear

Ugh, I really hate it when people split posts up like that. It gets unwieldy and strips the post of its overall context. I'm guilty of it, but I've been trying to cut back. It makes my posts smaller since I have to reply to the meat of it,

Her initial blog post isn't what caused this. She was featured on Hacker News before she wrote it.

Yeah, but he tried to use it as an example of something that could lead someone to shame him. But... it didn't happen. I don't know many people who would shame someone for assuming an unknown programmer is a man. It sucks, because it does k

She didn't redefine them. As someone[0] linked upthread (which you should have seen if you're down here) racism has a sociological definition as well as a colloquial definition. A dictionary does not define words; it records their common us

Well, except nothing happened to him. He wasn't reported, he wasn't fired, his photo wasn't taken. So obviously it's not the same as those jokes.

I'd like to see anyone take this level of vitriol and be completely level-headed. I would start stockpiling food, because apparently Jesus Christ has come back and the End Times are here.

Like I said in another reply, and like the author of this submission said in her post, many of the threats and harassing statements were very much specific to her gender (and some of her race.) Why is it that when a woman does something wro

Anyone can easily reach the same audience by creating a twitter account and tagging it with something popular. I'm sure there were plenty of people in that conference with way more followers. You should be more afraid at the veritable br

I don't have the effort to link every single comment, but please go into any of the major discussions (that have since been removed from the front page) and ctrl+F "feminist". Go and look at the vitriol being directed at her, look at the sp

Aside from the personal stuff between her and Adria, I think she has a good grasp of the situation. (i.e. I agree with her) However, I find one thing troubling: > Adria reinforced the idea of us as threats to men, as unreasonable, as h

It most certainly wouldn't have. There are legions of morons shouting about feminists in almost every discussion about these events, even when Adria said she doesn't identify as one. After this whole debacle, I've given up hope for both the

by ceol 14y ago
Because Adria is the only person who has the power to shame someone publicly? She's the only one with 9,000 twitter followers, she's the only one with a camera phone, and she's the only one who can upload photos to twitter? I find the conce

I know. That's why I mentioned their employers in my previous comment. That still doesn't mean she publicly dragged them through the mud. She didn't release a pastebin full of their information. She never even mentioned their name.

"Alex" something? I can't read that. And I think their company might have more than one bearded guy on staff, so it's hardly obvious.

by ceol 14y ago
So, I'm wondering what world you all live in where posting a photograph of someone with no name or identity attached is "publicly shaming" them.
297.
by ceol 14y ago
I'm still not seeing the part where their reputations were publicly dragged through the mud. To do that, you would have to identify them, and the only people who know them are the ones who paid for their trip in order to represent them: t

by ceol 14y ago
She didn't drag their reputations through anything, because I don't believe they were named. She only asked the PyCon organizers to do something about them via Twitter.

You're absolutely right it isn't inherently sexist. However, when these types of jokes become so common , and are almost always made by men, and sometimes made towards women, it contributes to a sexist atmosphere. I can't even use the ex

> women want to be equal, but they want to keep certain privileges. What privilege is this that she wants to keep? Women are already bombarded with sex jokes. The fact it's such an outrage she spoke up is testament to that.
