That’s not really the problem. The problem is much rather that there isn’t any awareness when those people actually do talk about those topics (or feel the need to for some stupid reason or other).

The problem is that it’s everywhere and at the top. I don’t mind racism that is filtered out (i.e. either heavily downvoted or deleted by mods) all that much. That’s exactly what makes Reddit attractive: It gets filtered in a good way. It j

One huge problem, though, is that shit (specifically racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fat shaming, ableism – oh, I guess that list really isn’t all that specific) tends to crop up everywhere. It’s a very reddity kind of shit. Encoun

Hm, I’m not sure whether it’s in Microsoft’s best interest to adopt Webkit. I think they will stay with their own rendering engine. But – as is already obvious – dominance is indeed no longer something they have, will realistically achieve

We are not interested in meanings here, we are interested in consequences. When it comes to battery life and slowing the OS down, quitting and suspending have exactly the same consequences: both don’t do it. You are making a distinction wit

Really? Really?! It’s correct. In almost all cases when you press the home button the app quits (i.e. gets suspended). End of story.

The point. You are missing it. He or she uses CSS for a job for which usually images are used. Hence his or her use of CSS is pure in that sense and it’s also written down that way. It’s not misleading in any way, shape or form. HN. A commu

It’s not. It’s pure CSS as defined explicitly on the page, i.e. no images used.

It is pure CSS as explicitly defined on the page, i.e. no images used. Just because you have a different definition doesn’t make it right.

It’s worth watching the talk (linked in the article, but special pointing out seems appropriate): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUEvRyemKSg I like to call it the secret keynote of 28C3.

It’s a single essay. A single one. There is nothing that’s a judgment call about this. A failed class. That’s it.

The academic reaction should be failed class. I’m no native speaker. It really is this particular essay: We don’t have any evidence whatsoever for other plagiarized essays. Plagiarism in class homework is still plagiarism and pathetic. I ne

It’s wrong and it’s pathetic and I never said otherwise. But I do believe that everyone always deserves a second chance. Always.

Do you honestly believe you can judge the abilities and work ethic of this guy based on one essay? That’s not possible.

Have empathy man. Empathy.

by ugh 15y ago
I don’t understand your lack of empathy. I agree: It’s a pathetic act of plagiarism and he should fail the class for it. If he didn’t, then his teachers made a serious mistake. If he could get away with it, then that’s pretty fucked up. If

That’s pretty horrible but also nothing new. Lego Scala (basically Barbie dolls from Lego, late 90s, early 2000s) was much, much worse†. What they are selling now are at least real and interesting Lego sets. You can actually build something

I think what you are doing is wrong. You shouldn't judge a person based on a single essay. Whatever you think about this particular essay, it's not deserving of this witchhunt. Edit: He should have failed the class and received a stern talk

I think “And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them …” is where the question is coming from. Who is them in that sentence? The United States? And if that is so it seems only those in the United States holding an Office o

Part of it is an obsession with being consistent instead of being right.

If I do that in public there are laws and elected officials, there are courts and ways for me to appeal. A clear and explicit notification is always given and if not I can sue. Most importantly, some things I’m definitely and always allowed

Sure both. But nation states are far, far, far more dangerous.

But it’s FUD. It’s a smokescreen. Google is harmless compared to the power nation states have. It’s just wrong to focus your effort on companies and not states. What politicians try to do is make privacy all about companies and not the stat

Those stores are so rare. It shouldn’t be the case that reading up on something for twenty minutes before going to the store makes me much more knowledgeable about that something than the salesperson. The only time in recent years I can rem

Calling out idiotic behavior is not childish. It’s perfectly appropriate.

That’s one view. It’s not the only view. In general you are, of course, correct. Constitutional rights only limit the government, not people or companies. It’s “Congress shall make no law …”, not “People and companies shall make no contract
