The article was written by a woman, so why would you assume it was written by a man? We're discussing ideas, yes, and those ideas have a lot to do with gender.

I can't stomach the guy. He was an abusive drunk who thought it was funny to kick women.

Nobody appears to have been hurt, though three people have been hospitalized: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_I_5_BRIDGE_COLLAPS...

That nitpick aside--wow! Factor is getting more and more impressive every day.

I like the old logo better, http://re-factor.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-logo.html is waaay too busy.

I think parent is referring to the general case and not this particular instance. I could be wrong.

Additionally, this article only considers /static stretching/, which is far less helpful to me as a runner than /active stretching/: leg swings, kicks, or arm circles.

What "small experimental studies" are you referring to? This entire comment was a dismissive appeal to authority.

We have to bite our tongues and be careful of everything we say
Every word out of your mouth has an effect on the people around you. Please, consider consequences before you speak. This is not a radical notion.

Poking around the wiki I noticed that work is beginning on GCLI, a gui command line. I'm not sure how it's going to get integrated into FF yet (I saw mention of an mdn command, though).
I love the demo: https://people.mozilla.com/~jwalker/gcli/

So when an otherwise upstanding man brutally rapes a vulnerable woman, it's his word against hers? Rape is almost always perpetrated from a position of power. That's why most rapes are committed by men against women.
That aside, they caught the incident on camera, so it is not one person's word against another's: http://dcist.com/2012/12/uber_customer_accuses_driver_of_rap...
rhdoenges | 13 years ago | on: We're Building A Reader
The dashboard isn't good at telling you whether you've seen a post already and moves much too fast for traditional blogs that post once a day or less to even show up within the first few pages. I don't think Tumblr has the right UI for an RSS reader.

Seems the incident may have been recorded:
> Messages related to the incident on neighborhood email groups state that the incident was caught on security cameras mounted to the victim's home.

Ah, my mistake.
rhdoenges | 13 years ago | on: Uber driver charged with raping woman in D.C.
> After all, she was just kicked out of a bar...
What difference does this make?
rhdoenges | 13 years ago | on: Uber driver charged with raping woman in D.C.
It says she paid her fare. What other motive could she have had to make this accusation?
Unfortunately, there is little evidence to go on at this point aside from her testimony, so much of this discussion is mere speculation.

I love that tumblr. I would also recommend http://twitter.com/wwwtxt or http://wwwtxt.tumblr.com/ -- short quotes from the early internet. Some are eerily insightful.
rhdoenges | 13 years ago | on: How to Hire More Women at Your Startup
Every time a "how to hire women" article pops up on HN, there's a flurry of comments that argue we should hire whoever can do the work best. That isn't what this article is about. In order to bring more diversity into your workplace or community, you have to consciously make the environment more welcoming to people who are different from you. When you let the "who can do the work" question decide your hires, prejudices control your decision without you even noticing. We must fight prejudice consciously or we contribute to oppression--not just the oppression women, but the oppression of any disadvantaged or underrepresented group.
