But, there is a clear incentive to answer the question incorrectly. The wrong answer is funny and will give the human some level of pleasure thinking about it. I would certainly reply with "walk" just for fun and apparently 28.5% of people agree with me.

Going back to your slippery slope argument, where does it end?

Is HN not a public forum as well? Are my constitutional rights being violated when a moderator deletes something a post here on HN?

What about all those shadow banned users, are they entitled to their free speech on any website that allows comments?

It's always fascinating how quick people are to jump on the slippery slope bandwagon when it suits their ends.

Your suggestion that privately held malls are subject to free speech protections is misleading. See Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner. There are counter examples of course, be these apply only in niche situations.

Regardless, Facebook is not a public space. It's very much a private space. Suggesting that Facebook be treated as a public space is a pretty radical idea.

The actions are policed and no one here is suggesting thoughts be policed. These individuals are free to shout their ideas in the public square. Facebook is a corporation not a government agency and they have the right to control their own products. Facebook isn’t refusing people based a protected status. Should a baker be required to make a cake promoting a hateful cause?

This is old, but I just discovered it. Makes a slow ssh connection feel like a fast one.

I was expecting this article to provide some insight in regards to the title. It does not. The article should be titled, “Here Are Some Examples of Expensive ‘Affordable’ Housing Projects”.

I run a small 4 node mesos cluster. So far it's been great, took a day or two to setup and has been running for about a year now with little to no maintenance. (I should probably update). I launch long running services through Marathon and crons with Chronos. I use haproxy for service discovery and load balancing. It's mostly used for data processing, but does serve data to a production web environment (~40k req / day).

The things I like the most about mesos is that it is light weight and removes a like of the friction in deploying new services. So I can test out a new idea without a big investment or f*ing around with the giant monolith. I found container based approaches too resource intensive for my budget.

> "it's only a `git grep` away"

Off topic, but how did I not know this was thing? You never know what you're gonna learn reading hn comments.

Creator of geoScore here. We're looking for contributors to help get this code out and help with documentation. I'll do my best to answer any questions. As far as the javascript client, it is almost ready to release, but I'll be a lot more motivated to put the hours in if there's interest.
