Calling a comment "ridiculous" is against the guidelines?

Okay. Hopefully it isn't against the guidelines to say I think that's a silly guideline. Apparently saying "ridiculous" in response to a comment is very selectively enforced, must be my lucky day.

Anyways, this is probably the reminder I needed to stop commenting to HN. Some of the moderator decisions you guys are making lately are just.. way off base to me. Either you've changed or I have. Probably me.

Time to randomize the password. Cheers.

The DSM-5 is from the "American Psychiatric Association".

Phillip Zimbardo, and the link you linked to, are the "American Psychological Association".

These are two different associations.

Theresa Miskimen is the president of the American Psychiatric Association, not Zimbardo.

Not synonymous with "spreading hate".

>I'd rather look like a goof (nothing wrong with being goofy or weird sometimes) than help spread hatred.

No one in this thread is helping "spread hatred".

I'm pretty sure they are implying that it might be a bad policy to not ban nazis.

>Relative size is what matters here.

This is where our disconnect is. Relative change in size means nothing to me. I care about the absolute size of the final thing I'm installing.

Adobe big, getting bigger. Sumatra small, staying small.

For the purposes of what this post is communicating, I don't think the exact sizes of adobe prior to 2000 or the exact size of sumatrapdf matters at all.

The linear graph instantly communicates:

    - sumatrapdf has barely changed size in the same time that adobe's size has grown exponentially

    - adobe's crazy growth spike started ~6 years ago

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I didn't realize the graph had a log y-axis at first. Then, once I realized that, I had to spend a bit of time parsing the graph to figure out what it was saying (I don't work with log graphs often at all). And once that was done, the only thing I came away with was "wow, adobe grew a hell of a lot when sumatra didnt", which is the same thing the linear graph told me instantly.

Being able to see that sumatras size remains relatively flat while adobes size growth is practically vertical is all the granularity I care about at a glance. If I want to know exact sizes, I'll dive in deeper.

For the purposes of this article, this graph is much more effective at making the point than the log scale one. I think it would have been a better choice to use a graph like this.

Thanks!

1) "De-googling" doesn't need to be a binary, all-in or all-out situation. Any reduction in reliance of Google (or any single point of failure) is good. Diversifying the big stuff (mail, storage, etc.) is a great start. About last on the list is worrying about the occasional allowance for gstatic.com or whatever.

2) While I occasionally need to allow some scripts from google, it's absolutely nowhere near 1/3rd of sites.

The research is great!

The reporting is typically... not as great. At the very least, the headlines are typically extremely over-stated.

Spam folder?

I feel like I see some strongly-worded headline about anti-aging of some sort here every two weeks.

>It all depends on who was elected and who votes.

If I had to pick one thing I dislike the most about HOAs, it would be this. There is never a guarantee that your quiet HOA will remain that way in the future. Which, to me, seems like a crazy chance to take.

>we have a shared park, community space, and where I live lots of irrigation.

This is where my confusion comes in. My local government handles this sort of stuff. But I understand that we (as countries) have different thoughts on governments and their responsibilities.

>Things like maintaining a community’s cohesiveness [...] maintain/increase the community’s home values over time.

I've heard the arguments in favor of them before, I just don't find them convincing.

Sure, I guess I can kind of understand that. It's just not something I've experienced. I've never felt that there was a "gap" that needed to be filled. Especially not by a group that can also tell me that my paint has to be a certain color or whatever.

As a non-American, I've always been surprised with how common HOAs are, and how over-bearing they seem.

I know that I only hear about the crazy ones because blogs about normal/good HOAs aren't going viral, but I've seen enough horror stories that if I ever moved to the US I would do my best to avoid one like the plague.

I'm not defending unity, fuck 'em, I'm just saying that the pricing is right on the page that you said pricing isn't available on.

From the top of the linked page:

>"$450.00/mo per seat"

>"$4,950.00/yr per seat"

And under the question "What happens if I am distributing the runtime for commercial purposes?":

>"Industry Customers requires explicit authorization from Unity and is subject to a fee ("Distribution License') which is generally equivalent to 4.0% of the revenue generated by the software product that incorporates the Unity runtime (discounts may apply)"

>If you don't get pedophile vibes from that picture it's on you.

Wow, what an absolutely wild statement. I hate to break it to you, but I'm not the one sexualizing the cartoon picture.

Right, but, that's different. Penguins are serious and professional.
