I don't think it's necessarily doublespeak, it's that people actually use the terms differently. Racism for example means BOTH the individual belief in superiority/inferiority of a particular race AND the societal/systematic belief. This is why there are debates about whether Racism still exists in America, or whether discrimination against White people is racist. It depends on the context.

I've never seen this. I've only seen people say "Racism is bias PLUS POWER. It's literally impossible to be racist as a Y because Xs have power." I've not seen people say "Yes of course we'd traditionally call Y a racist, but what I mean is that they aren't being institutionally racist." No one's talking past anyone. It's obvious what's going on. They don't want to admit that non-Xs can be terribly racist. So they fl…

Really have to disagree. "No one is talking past anyone" means you're not actually interested in having a conversation about this. Intellectual dishonesty is believing you have THE TRUE MEANING of the word. You really don't.

Come on you guys.

My expectations are too high. I shouldn't except HN crowd to understand the difference between mainstream and intersectional feminism. But it is hilarious that posts on gender and race issue get flagged to death, posts about class are always voted to the top, and anything that threatens the status quo spurs outrage.

There actually aren't as many posts on class, though we (where "we" really means society) seem to be getting there.

I'm thinking of adding to the site guidelines to please not post generalizations about the HN community unless you have data. It seems almost always to be associated with low-information, divisive comments. I don't mean to pick on you personally; lots of users do it. But almost always in bad parts of threads.

Unfortunately, it's getting there...

Sorry.

Dang, you've mentioned this to me before so I have been counting, but I prefer a more scientific method. Are there APIs that let me know the number of flags for a post?

Edit: also why I asked for the number of upvotes. According to him it was 45? That's a lot.

That's one option; they also offer strict SSL on both sides of the connection: https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/

How would that work if Github pages don't support SSL?

It won't. http://stackoverflow.com/a/28457335/239657

(1) Last I checked, cloudflare's "Strict SSL" mode only accepts from the backend a cert for the custom domain you're trying to serve, not accepting the github.io cert. A pity they don't let me configure what cert(s) to accept from the backend...

(2) In addition, Github have indicated their current github.io SSL is not actually end-to-end secure — it's only secure from their CDN (Fastly) but their link to the CDN is unsecure. So there is absolutely zero you can do — Cloudflare or anything else — to make GH Pages end-to-end secure on custom domains.

Why did you guys choose Ceph instead of OpenStack Swift? Just curious.

I'm not sure whether we've seriously considered Swift, but high bandwidth is important to improving our performance, one area in which Ceph seems to be the better choice [0]. [0]: http://www.sparkmycloud.com/blog/a-performance-review-of-swi...

Swift only provides object storage and we need block storage.
