You could increase availability by deduping (typing twice the same target gives you different shortenings)

They could realize those things are not usually liked by the same person, ask a user if this is a family account and let you define family members and their preferences within that account.

This reminds me of gun control debate. The more features FB enables to dig deeper in the social graph, the more chances for people to shoot themselves in the foot. Should we restrict guns so there are less accidents and murders with them, o

I then find unconvincing your usage of the word unconvincing.

Maybe one shouldn't make general comments about a piece one hasn't read in its entirety. Especially for an 11 small paragraphs piece.

And the OP is talking only about learning FP, not about general usefulness. Not sure what you are unconvinced about.

Yes, that's true. Though there's a minute where (some) mentally ill people get lucid enough to realize they can do something about it. I know some cases where people from that point could pull out on their own, and other people that looked

Exactly. I was just pointing out that even in these early days there are some choices and people can get treatment, and said treatment does work in some cases. Just saying "it wasn't his fault, he had nothing to do with it" is probably not

by koide 14y ago
Well, that depends, if you willingly chose not to treat yourself when you were able to, you might have had a choice. Just like when you have cancer and willingly choose not to undergo treatment. There's the choice. of course it's not an eas

Exactly. This has nothing to do with user submitted content per se. It's the type of content that should be regulated at least. We shouldn't be able to prosecute revenge porn on the annoyed ex's blog (as long as he's hosting it himself, I i

Yes, by all means use his death for something useful like fighting this system. But you can do that in different ways, some more potentially harmful than others. It'd be interesting to know how many people commit suicide on prosecution.

While I agree with the response in that Kerr has presented an overly condenatory view not necessarily warranted by existing evidence, I have a feeling that Kerr was trying to compensate for the huge amount of pro Aaron noise. Noise that is,

I'm not at all arguing that shutting up will make everything be fine. I'm arguing that mentioning the most logical trigger as a sure main/only cause for the suicide, besides being fallacious, can potentially cause more harm than good. We su

Suicide is a good choice, but trial wasn't because you might get a 10 year sentence. Pray tell, what prevents suicide during trial or after conviction? Suicide can be an option without depression, but when you have the fire at your toes and

The problem is not admitting influences, of course there always are triggers, be them external or internal. The problem is quoting a single influence as the only or primary cause, especially if it's an external trigger, as that can motivate

On the contrary, I don't even know if he would have actually ended up in prison, let alone anally raped. But you are sure he would - before his trial started! Anyway, the main point that has totally gone over your head, is that one should n

It's a great thing you can tell the future regarding Aaron's life had it continued. I'll ignore the strawman.

by koide 14y ago
Are you actually recommending suicide to all would be inmates, or just to the depressive HN readers who might be on a tight spot right now? Your comment strikes me as absolutely irresponsible and out of touch with reality. Prison is not a

The point is that WE DON'T KNOW and CANNOT KNOW what his thoughts were when he was tying the rope around his neck. Stop acting as if depression was logical.

Key point regarding Aaron: "It is hard to imagine Morris doing anything like the Internet worm again, so the need to lock him up is anything but pressing."

Okay, you can argue that, but the two huge responsibles of the suicide are Aaron himself and the terror based system, in that order.
264.
by koide 14y ago
Ortiz is not responsible for Aaron's death, even if she lied. The real problem is the how the prosecution system is based on terror instead of on justice. Laws can be made less amenable to be used to terrorize, but as long as the deep roots

What I don't understand is his rush. He could have gone for stealth mode: get a few laptops, program them to download at (largish) random intervals. Leave them operating a year or two. Check up on them every once in a while. He wouldn't hav

You will very likely need real time guarantees the JVM does not provide. (The "off the shelf" bit's a hint)
