Boohoo. If I come into work with a big pink sombrero on my head people would probably give me some unfavorable remarks. My reasons for wearing it are irrelevant. It wouldn't excuse violence or career repercussions, but it would be childish

How.. hypocritical. Dumbo.

Thank you for your clarifications. I'm glad we've been able to get past the quibbles. I don't think smaller issues should be ignored. Continuing my metaphor, I don't think the flu should be ignored. It is a health problem that must be addre

Down-voting is not for responses you don't find interesting. It is for hiding responses that abuse the forum. Your mental lethargy is not an excuse to down vote people you disagree with.

Again, HN shames itself by down-voting a point it has no answer. Someone show me how we can eliminate "bullying" and unfairness anymore than we can eliminate disease. Too much social control will just give rise to new problems, thus creatin

>You have given nothing to support the argument that treating someone as subservient based on gender 'ultimately does us good.' I never said this. Quote me where I said this, or I will be forced to regard you as a liar. And I never said

What is your problem? I don't ever talk about this in that setting. I'm illustrating an idea, and you try to bully me with things I never did. I don't have "macho" baggage. Where did you get this information from? How would you even know if

Give me one example of a society where youthful aggression has been eliminated.

Sorry, I can't talk to someone who says that rape is "accepted" as something that we just do. There are some idiots trying to justify it for sure. Not once did I try to justify rape. You talk nonsense about "power culture" that I never even

You use sophistry. Punches to the face face will make a cancer patient worse. In fact, getting the flu may kill them. The poster is not a cancer patient; presumably, they are a reasonable independent person with some self esteem. So they ar

Don't downvote, respond. I am not abusing anyone here.

The "computing is hard" excuse is a pathetic cop-out by people who can't see past their own self interest.

Your response is sad, because you accuse me of things I never said. I never said "bullying" was justified. Infectious disease is a fact of life. We can wash our hands and prevent the worst plagues, but there is every reason to think that to

You are painting these things as universal. If there were some rule about women and potlucks I'd care. As it is, there is not. I have never even seen a potluck in the workplace! There are much bigger, structural problems to worry about righ

Sexual assault is no joke. But so what if someone gives you "unwanted attention"? We have become a culture of whiners and rationalisers. It would be like me, as a man, going on and on about how unfair it is that I'm expected to hide fear an

The problem with these posts is that we only hear the horror stories. We get a sensational picture of constant harassment from one unlucky person. Most of what was written here was outright harassment. In many places it would be seen as out

I only seem off the deep end because the industry has brainwashed itself. The computer no longer exclusively serves humans. Rather, humans now look to the computer to know what to do. Talk about "imperfect worlds" is the same thing irrespon

The fact that you can't document the web standards in a few pages demonstrates how badly designed it is. Instead of shaping humans to fit the system, the system should be simple enough that anyone can understand it. The limit is then just h

What about the truth elucidated in philosophy, religion and even fiction? It's not like philosophers ever obtain "factual" status, and yet there is tremendous truth in many philosophical works.

I find the behaviour repugnant. But the message is being overshadowed by the messenger.

As opposed to the lies of journalists who emphasise the wrong facts.

Are you suggesting that journalists promote greater truth than entertainers? Have you read the news lately? Truth isn't limited to mere factual correctness.

Your accusation is useless because the PL tools don't solve this problem either. Currently the only tools we have in networks are cryptographic and social, and those are not provably secure. And the point is that what is considered "non-tri

Well feel free to let software rot into pure shit under these continued rationalisations. What a great service you're doing to the users.

Why downvote? HN has really gone down the tubes. Why do peopel who downvote harmless comments without a response get downvote privileges?

A better idea would be to just build a small system whose security was obvious. Computer scientists are right to mimic mathematics. They're just mimicking it too directly. Mathematics is based on construction from simple axioms and cross-ch

I'm not really interested in what's "considered useful". Look at the state of web applications. Basically what we could already do in 1996 but using more resources and full of ads and other distractions. And yet to many people this step bac

Each hardware device is accessed by a single process at a time. Any multiplexing that needs to be fast is done in hardware. Other multiplexing can be done in user space. For example, and application can request a dedicated channel to some b

Call it bold or courageous. He's doing something few are willing to do. I'm not saying he's a hero in the same sense as a soldier or anything here, but he's worth 100x more than the drones who just keep piling mess upon mess without even be
