ICBM Delivery service? sign me up

He is probably referring to how he took amphetamines, which aren't meth.

In the long-term, VR will be big. In the short-term, augmented reality will be the way to go imo

augmented reality is a much harder problem to get right than vr (hmd vr that is)

Exiles who left the country. If you were to speak to elderly Cubans who fled they would tell you about how they all had their possessions taken from them.

maybe you are the sockpuppet?

The first thing this article reminded me of was ghost in the shell season 2. In the show the Intelligence Agency of the government used this sort of info manipulation to increase animosity towards refugees to the point where the public was in support of basically slaughtering them.

In the show this agency also analyzed public opinion using info obtained from discussion forums to gauge the public's acceptance of government policy and they would use the information manipulation with sock puppets to change public opinion in their favor.

hn is without a doubt a target for these kinds of people. I'm honestly surprised that this thread hasn't been flag killed considering how it shows how blatantly idf are gaming this system.

edit: nothing against Israel and Jews in general, just that there was some pretty clear evidence specific to the IDF in the article

java interfaces are one of the main reasons people like java (and as other people have said, it's reimplementation in other more modern languages shows how popular and useful they are). They promote code reuse and allow protected variation. Your professors bad explanations aren't a reason to dislike interfaces.

Also how have you not, in a java class, written code that uses polymorphism? That would be the easiest way to understand how useful interfaces are.

My argument was that the idea of having to work on a javascript project with >10,000 lines of code makes me want to vomit while the idea of working on a java project with >1,000,000 lines of code doesn't make me feel anything special.

People that complain about verbosity really don't have their priorities in line

You see, I barely need to "understand" Java to use it and get decent and performant code but I need to be a javascript expert to be able to do anything not horrible.

Please stop trying to act like the state of web and javascript is good because it's shit. Web development is basically a bunch of people suffering from stockholm syndrome.

I don't get what you mean by your comment. CS:GO is the best thing to happen to counter strike and the game and the players are doing better than ever.

I think this is good, I think people should be able to delete their online presence when they turn 18. The way the internet is now, it's too easy to screw up your own life.

What are you on? Not every single thing has a citation.

No, a power user has nothing to do with "keyboard shortcuts" -- it's about delving deeper into more advanced features of a product regularly.

MY point was that a power user would be the person to learn the most efficient way of using your product. Having a feature that is three clicks in would annoy a power user. Three clicks is for something that simply wont be used often

A power user is someone that will go through the effort of learning a wide array of keyboard shortcuts to gain maximum efficiency when using your product.

What op described for 3 clicks is simply for rarely used use cases. Not power users.

This is a parody right?

According to the article she admitted to a lot of this stuff in a deposition.

This isn't doxxing. Doxxing would be if we posted her address, po box, mailing address, etc.

What we are doing here is calling someone out on their bullshit in a public profile.

This doesn't actually seem to be a real product yet. Also they are asking for donations but I have no idea who I'm donating to.

No thanks.

sketchy drug dealers on street corners

I find sleep to work most of the time. But yeah, once I was so stressed out I was constantly breaking out into cold sweats and felt like I was gonna vomit. Went camping on a Saturday and took acid. Left feeling more refreshed than I have ever had in my life.

So because your mobile phone provider is incompetent twitter is a bad platform?

Who is your provider btw? That sort of bad acting should be named and shamed (on a platform like twitter perhaps?)

Ok, i'll bite

Because twitter boosts "negative social behavior" (wtf? by whose definition?) you want a platform that allows people to report natural disasters, broadcast their products/movements, report corruption, communicate with their fan base, etc. to die?

Also, let's all ignore that fact that twitter is used by a ton of government dissidents living in totalitarian governments to broadcast the oppression that occurs there.

People use twitter for announcements and then for comments on those announcements. Very few people have actual conversations. When a conversation does happen, it's usually the root poster agreeing (or disagreeing) with the person that tweeted at them. I don't see anyone going to twitter with the initial intent of conversing with someone. Nobody goes onto their computer and says "Hey I'm gonna go message this person on twitter so we can have a conversation"

Twitter isn't a conversation platform

Twitter doesn't have a design flaw, it sets out to do what it wants and it does so spectacularly. Twitter is a platform for announcements not for conversations (although many try to use it for that very thing).

People who think twitter is a conversation platform are #doingitwrong. Period. People who try to use twitter for conversations and get angry when it doesn't work well or some random stranger barges in and starts hurting their feelings obviously need to realize that there are a ton of other platforms that solve their problem. Namely message boards, any form of chat (irc, IM, etc), blogs, etc.

How about if you want a safe place you don't go to unsafe places? It's that simple. You can choose what you read.

This is why I hate these articles, we get people like you that call insults "weapons". They aren't, nobody get's physically damaged by an insult.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapon this is what the word weapon means

The only way to stop online trolling is by educating people to ignore stuff on the internet. If some anonymous nobody starts saying weird stuff to you, ignore them. If they threaten you, call the police and ignore them. It's that simple.

edit: changed weapon to comment

I don't care about GamerGate, what I care about is that every single media outlet is spamming this topic and it would die a lot faster if they ignored it. I can go to any other website for social commentary, do we want Hacker News to be a battleground for social justice or do we want it to be a place where we can actually discuss something interesting.

Almost every other discussion website had the good sense to ban this topic because it only leads to flame wars and name calling.

The bundle of nightmares that is the GamerGate movement, an amorphous collection of gamers largely focused on harassing feminist game developers and critics, managed to make the front page of The New York Times.

Why did I know this article had to do with #gamergate, can we get this shit out of here? This is a highly politicized and uninteresting topic.
