Heh was about to post something similar, I'm not even on-call most of the time, I still check Slack when I wake up to see what happened to the person who was on call-if anything, since there's a 99.9% chance I'm getting rop

If you're looking for me to respond, in seriousness to this I'm going to need some assurances that you know the difference between a criminal investigation and a court trial since my comment was about one of those things, and pret

I called it a swipe because it was a personal ("your") pejorative ("bubble") Matter of perspective, no, Dan? Would it have been less of a pejorative to borrow a phrase from the latest incantation of our discussions of

I'm going to disagree with this being a "swipe" because at the root of it is a critical cautionary tale that I think we should be sharing more of on HN: What you (the global "you") experience in the world and the

Right, the police have. Not a (presumably) revenue generating online platform. My position on this is, if we're talking about being frustrated with the police not generating the outcomes we want from petty theft, and if we're al

If we as a society are OK with qualified law enforcement looking the other way, then we're OK with passing the buck to the unqualified. Post hoc ergo propter hoc make for valid public policy it does not. What source do you point to t

You can't defend the inept killer cops, you just can't, stop it. Where did I give you the impression that I'm defending "inept killer cops"? I'm asking for an inquiry of our expectations in crowdsourcing duti

there needs to be a platform to post these videos for the public to crowdsource the identity of these people. And then what? Will the platform also have a portal that will let people en masse vex the local PD with messages containing link

It's definitely a YMMV kind of thing. I'm not going to go on some kind of "all cops are bastards" bend here, cause that's not the case and this isn't the forum for it, but I've had more bad experiences wit

I know of maybe 3 regular-old gay men on the whole site. "regular-old gay"??? Would you care to articulate what this even means? What is 'regular' gay? Is there a 'regularity' of being gay or are you applying

I apologize in advance for the wall of text but I felt compelled to dispel a serious misunderstandings of the Kink community and by extension Fetlife from your comment here (though I think getting into the idiosyncrasies of the kinky commun

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought, without fully accepting it" is an axiom I always have to remind myself of (and sometimes, frustratingly, others when discussing contentious matters). Just beca

How many forum threads have you subscribed to and been eager to read the new replies the next time you visit? If this is your way of asking if people still visit Fark, the answer is "yes" :P

The difference is FetLife is 90%+ sex. I think you'd be surprised at the amount of people who are on Fetlife and aren't looking for sex but rather enjoy the kink community, are photographers, or content creators of other types

I had a similar thought after discussing this exact topic with a friend last night over beers: Used to be if you wanted a presence on the web, you did it yourself. You got hosting, you learned what you needed to learn if there was something

It seemed to me that these "burner" phones were just personal phones sensationalized for the article. Definitely do not want to rule that out, you're right to bring this up, but agreed. Calling your personal phone a 'b

If a company provides your phone, then it has access to it, and if you don't want your company to have access to what you do on it, you use a different phone. If you want the convenience of a personal phone that you can check your wor

He’s arguing you don’t need to ‘burn’ this device after using. It’s just a normal phone that you can keep using We don't know that as a fact, do we? In this specific case I mean, I know how burner phones are used, but we have from th

Calling these "burner phones" is a little silly. They are just completely private, non-corporate phones. So a phone used to duck surveillance from a powerful entity to conduct discussions about things you don't want that en

To me, "Content" implies stuff you uploaded directly, being the source yourself. You'll sometimes see someone tag a picture post, if they tag it at all, if it's something the blogger actually created themselves with #o

History is just full of things where large fractions of society were wrong. It's sometimes really hard to appreciate how much a moment in time affects the long-tail of history when you're living in it.

My observation is that what I can only call information operations on Tumblr are very similar in form to various groups retweeting divisive political memes on Twitter or other social media. I'm sure it's no different on any othe

Tumblr as a platform exists on shared content, and actively measures, and provides to the user-measurements of "reblogs". In the context of this discussion, so many user account blogs that could be tagged as 'adult content&

I read the two anecdotes shared as mere allegories of the reaction tumblr is taking to the content that is being banned from the platform, not a 1:1 comparison of pornographic content and body image content; that in mind I think these typ
