comrh··on FAA Proposes Nearly $2M Fine Against Drone Operator
What about a helicopter or small plane though? Both use the same airspace.
comrh··on Writing a fuzzy receipt parser in Python
I think I would have more problems saving all the receipts using this workflow. Just logging them into YNAB's mobile app is great for me.
comrh··on The Wretched Table: How Dinner in America Became an Ordeal
The packaging is kind of crazy but they aren't "mostly-prepared", they only ship you the ingredients.
comrh··on Crispr: Nobel prize for gene-editing technique at risk over patent dispute
What if you make a synthetic protein and then find it in nature? What if you build bacteria to make the synthetic protein? The difference between synthetic and natural seems like it would be very murky.
comrh··on Show HN: Dtab – Spreadsheet for Data Science
Great UI. I wish it had some sort of import function that could take in the Excel formulas and not just CSV data though.
comrh··on Why the Internet of Things Is Going Nowhere
Yes! I'm still excited by the IoT because I've turned both a dumb air conditioner and a dumb body scale into "IoT" items that never send their data outside of my network. I just think it is much more niche then people thought.
comrh··on “This mistake will become the thing you are best known for”
Most people? More countries have abolished it then still use it.
comrh··on “This mistake will become the thing you are best known for”
Are you saying a "state" is just something that jealously guards prerogatives for itself (love that line btw)?

I agree occasionally humans do have to kill other humans because I'm not a pacifist but I think the death penalty isn't to stop a horrible act, because the person is already caught, but to punish.

comrh··on “This mistake will become the thing you are best known for”
You're absolutely right but a lot of people do think this way. That regardless of crime or evidence, the state has no authority to take a life.

"Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Exactly, and with the amount of niche corners you can find an echo chamber that fits you perfectly.

This definitely the clock that would sit on Rorschach's desk.
comrh··on “Tsundoku,” the Japanese Word for the New Books That Pile Up on Our Shelves
I like reading flat on a table. Works best with hardcover books though. Also there is this little gizmo that you wear on your thumb to keep the book open that is pretty useful for one handed reading (http://www.amazon.com/Thumb-Thing-Holder-Bookmark-TPG-TT3/dp...)

comrh··on Forested Overpasses Allow Animals to Cross Safely Over Highways
It isn't that bad of a problem. Green roofs are becoming very common. It is just about the depth of the soil, the selection of the correct plants and usually some type of plastic barrier.
comrh··on Women view professional advancement equally attainable, but less desirable [pdf]
You're splitting hairs to ignore my point. There are also only three women on the RNC leadership and only 10% of the GOP in Congress is female [1] so I don't know where you got 50/50. There is even a long wikipedia article detailing the "War on Women"[2]. Quotes by Obama and the DNC follow similar rhetoric. You can keep calling it "extreme" but it is a very common view.

A group, the large majority of are male, are trying to limit what a women can do with her body. The same thing the OP said.

They want to make abortion illegal, a major point of most GOP platforms. So I guess they do believe they have the authority to have a certain amount of control of women's bodies. Certainly it is also a simple view to assume just because something is legal, there is no aspect of control. Funding, access, privacy, there are tons things to consider outside of just if it is legal.

I never said GOP = patriarchy. Just that there is a "systematic, coordinated campaign against women's reproductive rights" and that certainly isn't a fringe statement. This campaign is indicative of one of the OP's definitions: "interwoven social structures that promulgate certain ideologies, doctrines, and social customs."

The view that the GOP engages in "the systematic, coordinated campaign against women's reproductive rights" is a pretty mainstream view in the Democratic party, which is pretty mainstream.

> Patriarchy implies men hold some sort of privilege

There are plenty of things that men usually get to avoid because of their sex. The majority of sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic abuse, pay discrepancies based on sex, the list goes on and on. All of that is even worse for lower class women and even worse then that for lower class women of color. What would you call those advantages besides privilege?

Denying birth control based on your employer's religious beliefs, defunding women's health initiatives, ect.

> This is important because with a history, you open yourself up to attacks.

Which is why I set up a script a few months ago to delete my account history every month. The amount of doxing I saw on reddit made me nervous.

Nice, unless I'm missing it it needs a "clear all" button for the categories.
comrh··on Google Wants to Make Silicon Valley as Bike-Friendly as Copenhagen
I think it is a young, hipster-ish thing. Usually people ride a mountain bike as a kid and think of road bikes as "bikes for grownups."

You can keep saying that but it has a long, well documented history of harassment. It might be about those other things too but I strongly feel that name has been poisoned beyond recovery.

This whole thread is just a great example of this comic: http://wondermark.com/1k62/

Except for a long time it was the movement as a whole. The is why people don't take it seriously, because last year the group stood for picking apart of game dev's sex life.

So some research and it is easy to see the beginning of the GG movement was mainly a force to harass people like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.
