    After reading her blog post and several tweets, her words seems carefully crafted to achieve a personal agenda, and I would take anything she says with a whole salt shaker worth of…

    The tweet itself is arguably going overboard but the accompanying picture is the real issue, this is the element of public exposure which made all this going way way overboard. It'…

    It seems to me it was a threat either of being stabbed with forks or sexually assaulted, neither is acceptable. This guy has all rights to feel angry about what she did, but this i…

    Your analogy is terrible. The police here would be the pycon would acted responsibly and dealt with the issue accordingly. But the report was not towards the police but towards a p…

    She was most probably not shortsighted about the upcoming backlash as she said herself on HN a year and a half ago: adriarichards 473 days ago We all should realize it's Twitter, h…

    Definitely not. She's clearly in the abuser position and her reaction was disproportionate and inconsiderate, to the like of baseless sexual harassment lawsuits we've all heard abo…

    She publicly posted without consent a picture and an incriminating comment in an increasingly context of being touchy and wary about gender issues at tech conferences. Of course th…

    I wouldn't be surprise if the DoJ actually intended for Aaron Swartz to kill himself. The US government did this before with public right activists. And I agree that without the tw…

    Heck! If I can't crack an innocent dick joke at my friend while attending a conference because others think it is inappropriate, I won't be attending any conference anymore. Or wou…

    It seems the pycon staff acted appropriately, but Adria certainly did not, posting pictures online with this kind of comment is not okay and goes against pycon guidelines. And to m…

    You're kinda right here, the twitter analogy is not quite the same, the PyCon incident involved a handful of people and spoken words while the twitter one is much much worse as it …

    To me this looks a lot like sexism against men. Would she have done the same if this joke had came from a group of women ? Then it is really inconsiderate and irresponsible to post…

    Yes sexism and witch hunt are the main issue and going after people who make jokes you don't find funny because they're guys is sexism and a witch hunt. Would she have done the sam…

    1. This is so impractical that I switched to opera as my main browser where it is a press on F12 and a click to enable/disable js 2. When your product does such a bad job that it h…

    I'd like to know on where the notion that removing features used by only a fraction of the user base is what should be done comes from ? It is brandished right and left as if obvio…

    Is it worth alienating web developer and power users because they represent a small fraction of your user base ? Try alienating your power users and wonder your product suddenly st…

    It doesn't mean the product was actually good, it simply means it lacked a better alternative.

    Quantity of users is a really bad metrics. People really disliked being treated as numbers, they'd rather be treated as human beings. It gives the impression that it's about findin…
