"unless those movement leaders were behaving violently" What you consider violent and what the police consider violent isn't necessarily the same thing. "The individuals who linked arms and actively resisted, that in its

Your not really offering any arguments to this discussion. If you're interested you can compared the student tuition protests in the US and Canada[0]. Violent or non-voilent, no protest can occur if people don't believe in the rig

On the other hand they are now poisoning the well for anyone who really have a need for this "trick" or are actually doing a school project. It's a shitty situation no matter what of course so I'm not that upset. Edit: I

Well. HN is probably not the best place for this, so I'm not going to make this too long, but there are a couple of point. Few movements will survive its more prominent members being beaten and arrested, which is what happens when ther

There's a faulty premise that militant action is a strict choice. Once the police start beating and arresting people there's often no going back. Look at all the movements that in the US that no one cares about. That study seeming

Not taking legitimate concerns seriously and securing the Internet we want is what is going to throw away the positive things about the Internet. Something that isn't technically secure nor robust in the face of arguments is bound to c

I'm not sure we can afford to wait a generation if we want to have a say how things change. With increased regulation, economic down-turn and/or competition from China/India change is coming one way or the other.

We are dealing with the consequences of not taking this very seriously for the last decade. It's not good enough to just hope that the Internet will remain free in the face of legitimate concerns. Yes, it's a concern that the Inte

While I agree with you overall I don't see the problem being solved by "teaching our children". The problem isn't the public, which either can't be expected to know or are actually already more critical of technolog

Yes, you and everyone else. That's why I don't do that much software anymore either. People are happy with a paycheck rather than to do good work and be proud over that. Then they sit on HN and criticize every other field they kno

People aren't being critical, they are being dismissive. Which is completely accurate with what the author is saying. - "There a problem in software, no one is taking it seriously" - "There's no problem in software

I think they are implicitly challenging peoples ideas how startup works. Both for people who are "waiting for the right moment" to start a startup and people already running a startup and feel they have an advantage. While I'

Not everyone is getting richer. People aren't getting richer because of inequality. Even if they were they don't lose their right to a fair share. "What ultimately matter" is a weak argument that could be said to justify

As far as I know IBM still sold server up until last year when that department was also sold to Lenovo. So it makes sense that they were still making peripherals for server use, they probably aren't anymore though.

You may dislike him all you want, he deserve credit for his philanthropy. Credit where credit is due is one of the more important values in engineering. There are criticism to be made against Microsoft, but as with praise it has to be based

When people get cancer they usually get more concerned about their legacy. Whether denial or not how Steve Jobs choose to spend his last years tells us something. Bill Gates is the real deal when it comes to philanthropy. Not only directly,

Yeah, I think this is a good example of consumer versus hacker mindset. Much of the attraction of Chinese frames is that, at least in Europe, frames can cost as much as an assembled bike. So these cheap frames enable people to build bikes f

I guess in case of a web application it wouldn't be so much BEAM itself as the libraries. It hard to know if e.g. the crypto library is secure and used correctly. The same goes for serialization and other things that normally leads to

I'm not so concerned by the lack of libraries as with that no one seem to know the state of Elixir, Phoenix or BEAM. Security vulnerabilities are found all the time in established stacks and things like robustness, reliability, mainten

Nah, it's just that much of the future won't happen in the first world which has problems keeping up with the present. China is 10 years in the past and 10 years in the future at the same time. It's going to be even more like

I guess you can either see it as how much faster Cowboy is or how much more useful Rails is. It's nice if you have a lot of Erlang code already, but if you're making a web application from scratch, performance is pretty far down t

I'm not the one to defend Harvard, but an unestablished minority group only has so many opportunities so of course a lot of peoples resumes are going to look the same. That said, this is pretty much just traditional elitism. If your wo

People are minorities in different settings. Women are a minority in tech, men are a minority in day care. I'm not sure I follow you last two sentances. You think victimhood culture makes you the victim of other peoples advantages?

I wouldn't assume people didn't read the docs so much as they made a mistake deploying (part of) a development setup to production. Security isn't an all or nothing thing, it's about having a good chance of doing the rig

Command line flag, environment variable or interactive prompt could help. Maybe the interactive shell should be enabled separately from debug itself, since some only use debug for the exceptions. It could also explicitly try to figure out i
