That was the 20th century. In 21st, words are weapons.
Is there another reference to this? My quote was Uhura on ST-TOS "Savage Curtain", around 2200 AD(?).
Ouch. I missed the reference!

#132This kind of sarcastic social critique well designed site reminds of better times for the Internet... before the dark times... before Facebook.
Oh no! The Internet is more easily accessible providing more knowledge and access to millions worldwide! It's not limited to our extremely exclusive clique of 1337 hackers who also all happen to be white, college-educated American men!
FWIW, I was one of the clique of 1337 hackers without being American or college educated!
In seriousness, the radicalism of the early internet was great for autodidacts, and I loved it. It shaped me as a person and I still don't have or need a university degree.
The thing that was nice in the past was that it seemed so easy to find other people finding their own path. It was a bit less commercial and a bit more communal. It was a great thing, but communities have a finite capacity for on boarding people. It is easy to squash that, and it was definitely squashed pretty hard as the internet popularised.

#133The idea is pretty good, but misses the mark. Bitcoin has shown that decentralization is a bad idea. What people actually want is Sharebowl: a single bowl, the size of oregon, that you can trust to keep your valuables safe. We plan an ICO by 2022, IPO by 2023, and IBS[1] by next week.

Linguistic prudishness outside of specifically around violations of the Second Commandment isn't particularly tied to Christianity. As “shit” is not, even in the broadest Christian interpretation, a name of the Christian God, that doesn't seem to be the basis of any filtering of that word.
Are we now pretending anyone pursues the concept of 'profanity' or defines it as broadly as Puritanical christians? Seems a weird fight to pick, but ok.

Literally Puritanical Christians don't exist anymore, it's a defunct sect. Metaphorical puritanism in any sense relevant here isn't restricted to Christians.
And, yes, plenty of groups are at least as opposed to profanity, and define it at least broadly, as any Christian groups (certainly, I've noted Islamic groups that that applies to.) Sure, in, say, the US if you run into this its mostly likely to be from Christians, but that's true of most things because the US is a majority-Christian country.

That requires ShitStack

#140Since I can’t get support from the company, I am posting to HN so that someone from Shitbowl sees my post and responds.
I recently got a Shitbowl and threw some coins in, planning to use them soon. However, the coins ended up at the bottom of the Shitbowl instead of the top. This is definitely a big since it violates LRU. Shitbowl has not responded so far to my complaint.
