No. First of all you're being pretty rude. Secondly, I don't want ANY pecking order in Tor. They should just focus on making privacy tools and leave the unrelated political messaging aside.

I wouldn't say "clearly". They make reference to doing something about harassment but give no outline what that might be. The post is tagged feminism. Believe it or not, not everyone supports this type of feminism. I'm n

What exactly does this mean? Are there new centralized control mechanisms in the works for Tor? This seems like a really bad idea TBH. I don't want my privacy tools to come with some strangely ambiguous "political" feeling se

His female colleagues had no issue with the shirt. It was the guy who wrote The Verge article and the following pile on that had issue with it. In fact some of his female colleagues came to his defense on Twitter.

This wasn't an attack on "men" it was an attack on a specific man and yes, it was totally outrageous. Women don't need thicker skin. No man or woman should be criticized for how they dress.

Diverse, as long as you dress EXACTLY how you're "supposed" to. A friend made him this shirt. He was wearing it as a tribute since the day was important to him. He got nailed to the wall. Remember when scientists and engineer

No, but it's horribly unfair to ruin what is probably going to be the most important day in this guy's life. The shirt was made by a woman who's friends with the guy anyway. He's just quirky, not sexist. We shouldn'

It was a reaction to an article yesterday on The Verge ( http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7213819/your-bowling-shir... ) So sadly, it was the US press that made this happen.

Incorrect, women aren't as weak as you think they are. He worked with many awesome women to make this mission happen BTW. More likely this type of overreaction and hysteria will keep free thinking individuals out of science.

It's not just the US. Just today the UK press made the lead scientist of the Rosetta mission cry by attacking his SHIRT instead of celebrating his achievements. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/1123132

I have been retweeted by it :P I stand by my opinion though despite the (anticipated) downvoting. Programming in PHP is anti-intellectual.
12.
by exstudent 12y ago
My problem with PHP is that it's a signal of developer laziness. There are a lot of very interesting things going on with languages nowadays. If you develop in PHP because "it pays the bills" you ARE NOT the type of developer

His technical background is clearly insufficient in that he doesn't understand the BASIC technical problems in his argument. Yet, he feels he's qualified to authoritatively call for radical government access to our data in a mains

You sound like a really good doctor, but alas I'm pretty healthy (thankfully!).
15.
by exstudent 12y ago
I agree that there are good doctors, but I'd rather not have it be such a crap shoot. The consistency and depth of knowledge provided by an expert system of some sort seems like the way to go.
16.
by exstudent 12y ago
You can definitely feel this as a patient. If I could give my vitals to an app and have it diagnose and prescribe remedies, I would do it in a heart beat and never visit a doctor again (of course you would need robot surgeons too :). I&#x27

Was it a love for Native American culture that caused the original European settlers to come to the US? No, it was raw opportunity. Unless you're talking about Native American culture, then ALL culture in the US was constructed by immi

There are plenty of untalented natives in any country. I do not think the government is particularly good at spotting talent. We should just let everyone in IMO. Besides, "talent" can mean many things. Is the Mexican mother who ca

I agree that would be hypocritical. I didn't tell him to wait his turn though, I told him I support open borders. If he wanted to come into this country illegally, I personally would have no problem with it. Maybe then though, he'

Good genes?! This is the most racist thing I've read on HN. I see why you have a throwaway account.

What harm were those people actually causing you?
22.
by exstudent 12y ago
I live in the US and I'm not ensured any of those things. Allowing more people into the country could only improve our economy. We would be more "selective"? How would we select?

by exstudent 12y ago
Why don't you want open borders? You haven't said why it's bad.

by exstudent 12y ago
The internet is a good example of a culture than can exist if you do away with artificial barriers between groups of people. Modern immigration policy is not inherently correct and it wasn't devised during an age of hyper connectivity.

by exstudent 12y ago
I support open borders for the reasons I listed.

And you know, everyone who's not xenophobic, enjoys living in a diverse community and philosophically believes people should be able to live wherever they want.

I think there are two separate issues in your comment... You make more than your sister doing "less" work because knowledge and high level skills are a value multiplier. You may come up with a world changing idea that generates bi

Maybe I'm parsing your comment incorrectly, but do you mean that you used to have clients that allowed you to make your own schedule but you no longer do? Out of curiosity, what caused the change? I firmly believe we'll see more p

I agree with the real estate issue. My point is that people CAN afford to live in these places and those people built their fortunes on the back of a labor supply with artificially suppressed wages.

by exstudent 12y ago
I agree that's a good idea but in the context of this story... Who lives in this ultra expensive real estate? The execs stiffing the developers on pay while making bank on their work.
