I'm sorry about that. If you're still interested in giving us UX feedback send us an email feedback@getprismatic.com. I'll personally respond to it. Please understand that we're still a small team and we get a lot of emails on a daily basis. :-)
So we're engaging in the double-standard where minors make superior victims for the tabloids due to their immature status, but as perpetrators we're willing to try them as adults?
The fact that minors have greater legal protection isn't because they're cute little kiddies, but because it's generally accepted that their decision-making isn't as mature. You get a bit more leeway for bad decisions when you're young - hell, in my state, people under 10 years of age simply cannot be tried for murder.
Given your combative 'screw them even if they're minors' tone, would you really support trying minors as adults?
I don't believe in an invisible line of maturity at 18 years old, no. If it were up to me, I'd decide it case by case, not by some blanket law. But that's pretty unmanageable.
These were not kids. They were 17, committed a serious crime then bragged about it. Then they got their names mentioned in public by a victim who feels like this destroyed a part of her youth.
I feel no pity that she may have found a way to return the favour.
It's phrased such that the victim is painted as a minor, and therefore less able to make mature decisions, but no such leeway is given to the perpetrators - implying that they're not minors.
I knew the comment would get downvoted. I just hope I don't get arrested. After all, I just comment-raped everyone who had to read what I wrote. Of course, I'd just get bailed out by my connects high up in the Patriarchy. There's nothing you haters can do to bring us down--long live Rape Culture! Muahahahaha.
I don't think anything about her actions here is irresponsible or immature. Resisting an unconstitutional prior restraint on free speech is a worthy and responsible action. As is publicly shaming the perpetrators of a crime who try to hide behind the legal system.
Do you have any idea of the trauma and agony the poor child must be going through? Admittedly I do not know anything more about the case other than the link, but to call her irresponsible and immature is insensitive to say the least.
"Do you have any idea of the trauma and agony the poor child must be going through?"
Probably not that much, really. She was "sexually assaulted" while she was passed out drunk at a party. She wasn't raped. She probably didn't experience anything during the assault and wasn't injured or infected with an STD. She probably didn't even know it happened until the pictures surfaced. If she's passed out in the pictures, then they shouldn't ruin her life or cause her much distress, because they only prove that she got drunk at a party and that some idiots groped her. If she doesn't appear to be passed out in the pictures, then she probably just regrets slutting it up.
I'm quite serious: the "trauma and agony" that she "must" be going through is probably mostly a product of her overdramatic imagination. And before you accuse me of "minimizing" or "victim-blaming", I'm not blaming her for what happened, I'm just saying that it wasn't that big a deal. So I suppose I'm minimizing, but only relative to your dramatizing.
Apple is only interested in selling products with a high margin, like 50% or more. TVs don't have that.
If there will be a TV with Apple tech in it then this will be because the TV manufacturer has licensed a chip with iOS on it that runs the AppleTV flavor of iOS.
Or can you imagine people carrying home a 50" AppleTV TV from an Apple Store? If you cannot sell it in an Apple Store then Apple won't do it because Apple needs people to experience their devices in an Apple Store to allow them to fall in love it them.
By including ".github.com" in the name, the project is, to me, trying to parade itself as being part of github or affiliated in some way. They're using github's name as an appeal to authority. It's a neat project, but needs a better name.
Yeah, not particularly. Most of the ones I've seen (again, casual Github user) are not trying to use .github.com in the name of their site (regardless of address). Here, the project is named, "giving.github.com," implying Github affiliation. http://square.github.com/cubism is clearly branded as Square, not square.github.com. There's a big difference.
That was a warning light for me, yet I still thought it was coming from github. Well, it seems it does not come from github. Bad behavior.
Edit: Now, that I think of it, copy was a second red light, yet I still thought it was coming from github. It only shows how good a perception github as a company has.
