Thank you , seriously. And good night.

I'm going to start repeating myself if I get into your first paragraph, and no offence but I'd rather hear what Klabnik has to say. If that's unfair then let it be unfair. Strange Loop has a two/three phase system, in wh

I assure you that the racism of, for example, Yitzhak Herzog (who heads Israel's main centre-left party), is as obvious to the ideological opponents of Zionism as Yarvin's is to you. If you doubt me, ask them. It should be clear

Few quick questions: I'm a Zionist (see my top-level post and its link.) Does that make me unacceptably racist, in your view? I know Deleuze thought Zionism was a racist ideology. Given that, in a conference as large as Strange Loop, t

I am not suggesting that racists (however defined) be invited to advocate racism to people who find that repugnant. I'm suggesting that that racism not disqualify them in other matters. You are quite correct that people can boycott or

Much as I dislike entering into this sort of (highly off-topic) conversation, it needs pointing out that "Progressive Except Palestine" was coined by people who agree with you. Just search for it and see what comes up.

A realist view looks at the various players and makes an informed judgment of what their power is. Alex Miller indisputably has final say on who attends the conference. That doesn't make him a dictator. If he doesn't follow people

Kicking people from your tech conference because they were racist outside of it hands veto power to whoever determines what racism is and when something is 'too racist'. The same goes for the other beyond-the-pale isms like sexism

Huh, strange that the article to get traction on HN should be written by a neoreactionary. I'm not one, but the author isn't wrong: the people who got Yarvin kicked are hard-Left. Which is significant to me personally, because of

Maybe the solution is to give money to people who are poor and either working or not able to, and give a decent paying job to everyone else. Edited to add: and looking at the concerns of one of the aid recipients, something should probably

I didn't really want to vote this up, as it is pure cant, but the topic is worthwhile.

I understand your sentiment completely – they were slaves and that crime should be recognised. The reason the headline has the word in quotes is that it's quoting their own statement about themselves: quote quotes, not scare quotes.

Funny he mentions Latent Dirichlet Allocation. If you want to see it applied to Harry Potter, you're out of luck. However, if you want to see it applied to Harry Potter fanfiction, Kaj Sotala wrote a post three days ago! http:/&#

I was speaking probabilistically. Or, if you prefer: p(Q|P) > p(Q) => p(¬Q|¬P) > p(¬Q)

A nice sentiment, but not really logical. An outcome in Pao's favour would have been taken as evidence for institutional bias; by conservation of probability, an outcome against must be taken as evidence against.

His former job is most accurately described as "propagandist". The word "troll" is probably unsalvageable, one more victim of semantic creep.

What are you proposing? Because if it involves preventing him posting to mailing lists or restricting his contributions to kernel development I'm against, and on pretty fundamental ethical principles: you appear to think there's a

What I'm saying is the following: In the eyes of a court, either it's reasonable to infer that a disclosure notice compliant with the Dep. A.G. letter is a sign of having received a NSL, or it isn't. If it isn't, then th

Exactly. And if reddit's next transparency report says that they've received 0-249 NSL/FISA notices, they'll be well within the bounds of the Deputy A.G.'s letter.

Luckily USG has issued a menu of two permitted disclosure options: http://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/3662014127160184071... It would be a tough case to make that switching to an explicitly government-p

In the UK, if you can meet the evidential burden to raise the issue that your hard disk is in fact full of random data, then it must be proved beyond reasonable doubt that that is not the case. In other words, unless you aren't even pe
