comrh··on Open Code of Conduct
Ridiculed and shunned for not doing things like "Be considerate" and stopping "Unwelcome sexual attention, including gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour". The only thing you have to worry about is not being a jerk though. Are you angry you can't do those things anymore?
comrh··on Open Code of Conduct
Django Python Ubuntu

All have radical politics for adopting similar CoCs? They're also not applying it to all of github, just projects they maintain. And every community is political, that line just gets used anytime someone raises a concern about something to shut it down.

comrh··on Open Code of Conduct
You're free to not participate or start your own organization though, there is no pushing. Github also isn't applying this to every repo you have on the site, just their own - which they have ever right to do.
comrh··on Open Code of Conduct
Have you ever been a part of a group and said "hey lets lay down some ground rules" for people's conduct? Maybe you would want to even go further then the law to help enable a friendly environment.
comrh··on 8088 MPH: The final version
I tried reading the technical expectation, a lot of it was lost on me, but it seems like they just implemented bug fixes and tweaks but added nothing that wasn't impossible in ~1981? Was this possible back then even?
comrh··on ISIS’s strategy of terror
The TV show Archer also had that problem.

comrh··on The story of .io
I think the main point of the article is the country codes are not very defined in the process of creation, their use and who reaps the rewards of ownership.
comrh··on Our plan for a more diverse Pinterest
If you have 9 men who apply and 1 woman and they're all of equal skill, chances are a man will get it purely on probability.
comrh··on Bay Area Living in Shipping Containers
They sound so ridiculously tone deaf like the idea of having people move into your neighbor and build houses from the ground up, unregulated, out of shipping containers shouldn't bother anyone in the slightest.
comrh··on Bay Area Living in Shipping Containers
Those look like a death trap if there were a fire. I also can't help but think of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys living in his storage shed.
comrh··on Nóirín Plunkett has died
Thanks for this and giving a place to donate.
comrh··on Amazon details its plan for how drones can fly safely over U.S. skies
No plans on if they fall out of their special zone and onto my roof or my head though?
comrh··on Pilots Say That the F-16-Cessna Crash Illustrates a Civil-Military Difference
> Delusions of infallibility, arrogance, defensiveness, and blind deference to rank and regulation over common sense have all been shown, through the history of aviation tragedies, to be much more dangerous than all other factors.

Basically the most dangerous type of people across any situation.

comrh··on The Rise of Silicon Savannah and Africa’s Tech Movement
Yes, the point still stands.
comrh··on The Rise of Silicon Savannah and Africa’s Tech Movement
Don't most startups only becoming interesting when they receive investments?
comrh··on Show HN: Nod – Anonymous proximity messenger
Seems kind of disingenuous to make an app that has similar functionality to a few others, including Secret which in some countries was legally barred due to bullying problems, and then just say it is "up to the users to not bully".

You have to take some responsibility for the things you put out in the world.

comrh··on Show HN: Nod – Anonymous proximity messenger
I believe FireChat[1] is right up your alley. Was covered a lot during the Hong Kong protests.

comrh··on ‘Sea Slaves’: The human misery that feeds pets and livestock
Could also be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_relative_privation

"Well there are places were there are NO law enforcement so all other definitions of slavery aren't as real."

comrh··on ‘Sea Slaves’: The human misery that feeds pets and livestock
According to you. The definition of the word slavery isn't nearly as specific.
comrh··on Handwriting Generation with Recurrent Neural Networks
Can you copyright your voice then? There are laws governing your "likeness" so I guess they would apply?
comrh··on The Development of Crispr DNA Editing
I listened to this with a friend of mine who just got his PhD in molecular biology. His response was it was a lot of hype about of technique that requires a large amount of wasted samples to even get one usable mutation.

Like all RadioLab episodes it was brilliantly produced and an entertaining listen but CRISPR might be a little overhyped.

comrh··on Connecticut Teen Made a Drone That Fires a Handgun – And Police Say It's Legal
The rare double whammy. Makes both gun owners AND drone enthusiasts look irresponsible.

Also I'm thinking this could be filed under "Any other weapon" for Title II purposes.

comrh··on No, I Am Not Lost – A Black Woman's Experience in the Stanford CS Major
Can you comprehend how there are other factors that could effect minority achievement besides your assumption that they're letting in people not smart enough? Does your "consequence" have any backing or did you just make it up?
comrh··on No, I Am Not Lost – A Black Woman's Experience in the Stanford CS Major
Yes, sometimes. Because "approaching women who are strangers, especially in environments where they are trapped or not expecting approaches, is high stakes for both of you, and best attempted very casually if at all, with a strong awareness that any approach may be unwelcome."

Do you go up to men and start random conversations? Does that sound like it might be annoying to deal with?

Also: http://kateharding.net/2009/10/08/guest-blogger-starling-sch...

> So when you, a stranger, approach me, I have to ask myself: Will this man rape me?

Does that sound like an experience the woman just has to deal with because the OP feels entitled to talk to every girl that makes his heart flutter?

comrh··on No, I Am Not Lost – A Black Woman's Experience in the Stanford CS Major
Cause you're entitled to start a conversation with every girl that seems interesting to you right?

edit: because people here can't comprehend the view from the other side, maybe louis ck can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDh4qk1Tl8k

comrh··on No, I Am Not Lost – A Black Woman's Experience in the Stanford CS Major
Just assuming she got in on affirmative action and the ones weeded out were just "not smart enough" is plain ignorant.
comrh··on Shred Video (YC S15) Turns Hours of Video into a Montage in Seconds
One of the reasons I never bought a GoPro for skiing was I felt like the footage would just sit on my hard drive. If this proves useful I would consider getting a camera a lot more. Would be interesting if this gets picked up by GoPro soon.
comrh··on Ask HN: Do you struggle to sleep after coding all day?
Exercise, limiting blue light (really any light as darkness increases melatonin production) and mindfulness meditation are all excellent tools.
comrh··on Call9 (YC S15) Delivers On-Demand Doctors in Emergency Situations
Toronto is more than 4x the population of Seattle and 2x the area though. And Alabama is a often rural state. It would be interesting to compare survival rates based on equal distances to a hospital.
comrh··on Grooveshark co-founder, 28, found dead in home
I love anecdotes like this. It really proves to me that good people live on in the people's lives they touch. It is like a hidden network of people that all hold a piece of the person.
