But, there is a clear incentive to answer the question incorrectly. The wrong answer is funny and will give the human some level of pleasure thinking about it. I would certainly reply with "walk" just for fun and apparently 28.5%

Going back to your slippery slope argument, where does it end? Is HN not a public forum as well? Are my constitutional rights being violated when a moderator deletes something a post here on HN? What about all those shadow banned users, are

The actions are policed and no one here is suggesting thoughts be policed. These individuals are free to shout their ideas in the public square. Facebook is a corporation not a government agency and they have the right to control their own

I run a small 4 node mesos cluster. So far it's been great, took a day or two to setup and has been running for about a year now with little to no maintenance. (I should probably update). I launch long running services through Marathon

Can anyone provide a legitimate criticism of Kafka? "It sucks, doesn't use it" isn't very helpful or productive. The closest thing I can find is http://engineering.onlive.com/2013/12/12/did

Looking the other way is exactly what perpetuates this kind of behavior. Everyone wants to assume there is something else going on when it comes to discrimination. If that's the case the people in charge should have no problem explai

I would build a new city. Not some attempt at utopia, but a fresh start in a remote but desirable destination. The town would be seeded with a university and focused on outdoor recreation, startup (and self-employment) culture, and diversi
