Men certainly aren't valued for being masculine, but what are they valued for, beyond what they can provide to other people? Nothing. Feminism took away the roles but didn't replace it with anything useful for men and valuable to others.

Capitalism invented the birth control pill and as a consequence the labor supply doubled, making men and women into fungible economic units. Feminists who worked to elevate human dignity are laudable, but unfortunately there were more entrenched interests at work.

Isn't patriarchy the idea that men are in charge and superior to women?

TCP/IP is not part of "the web".

You make great points for the other Greek letters.

In China it's not.

Either we're not looking at the same DEI guidelines or this is disingenuous. It's not enough for a professor to merely state a commitment to fostering a respectful classroom environment permitting no disrespect to anyone's identity or dignity. DEI statements[0] don't want professors to merely block offensive and disruptive behavior, they want them to make diversity, equity, and inclusion a core part of teaching, research, and the candidate's personal life. A professor researching, for example, graph theory who merely creates a respectful classroom environment and treats students and research associates without distinction based on their identity doesn't meet these criteria. This results in a form of dog-whistling. Like all dog-whistling, it relies on the core message being subtextual.

It definitely is real for 95% of people, you just don't have it. I doubt you could draw well from imagination even with artistic training, so there's that. Everything else is just pure cope.

How are we to convince a blind man that we can see?

You must excuse me if I am not swayed by this since no one would expect university faculty to admit to the motives I described (such a letter filters out far more than just those who don't incorporate "diversity into their teaching practice" according to your institution's definition). Yours is exactly the bias I am speaking against.

So... People who aren't criminals... Might become criminals... After committing a crime... I guess?

They basically want you to swear loyalty to the Party, and even after that, if you're a straight white cis male your diverse experiences are judged insufficient and you won't get hired. Universities are no longer grounds for intellectual exploration; they're factories, and professors are assembly line workers pushing out tiny variations from the accepted ideology du jour.

Java tried this a while ago. "Compile once, debug everywhere."

> Keeping one's distance costs nothing (which is not the be-all of social distancing, I agree).

Actually this costs trillions of dollars.[0]

Because Uber must exploit workers to survive and no one is going to "ride share" their bus.

> But how in earth does one run out of 10.0.0.0/8 IPs, outside of a company merger?!

Twenty company acquisitions.

Agreed! Thank you for posting that Zerodium link. It's always great to bring substantive data into a security discussion.

This isn't the benchmark of how secure those systems are, just a benchmark of how valuable exploiting them is. Hypothetically speaking, iOS could be more secure, but an Android exploit could be valued more if high valued targets tend to use Android. Keep in mind that phone OS usage varies quite a bit by country and wealth.

>This sounds like no one should be a security researcher for they risk paying companies to implement the security the company should have implemented anyway.

No, read again, this only refers to damages from unlawful activity. "White hat hackers" need not fear.

I can link to your comment too where you imply that the bad news about North Korea is just defense contractor propaganda. Thanks!

When people say Hacker News doesn't have an intense bias I'll just link this comment.

Probably comes from the fact that you can't meet North Koreans because the ones who try to leave get shot.

Because code derived from GPL code is also GPL. Co-pilot (sometimes) intelligently copies and pastes GPL code.

How reliable is this compared to bite marks?

>It's also kind of pointless to talk about how to falsify a class of thing we have affirmative evidence is happening.

Can you elaborate on the logic behind this a bit more and perhaps explain how it wouldn't justify McCarthyism as well? (e.g. we know that there was a Soviet spy in one office, so every office that acts displeasingly is filled with Soviet spies)

You know it's a crackpot theory when it's so unfalsifiable as to be absurd. You think one person--just one person--can manage the data of millions of people, the backups, the government requests, the exporting, and the IT troubleshooting? That's awfully convenient, and I expect you'll never be proven wrong and have to feel dumb for believing it.

Amazon delivery vans scan nearby WiFi networks for SSIDs and tag that with geolocation. Amazon knows all about your home network.

Your observations? From what US states? and what European states?

So computers are a bad plan?

>from a European point of view

99% of Europeans haven't been to America and only know what Hollywood movies tell them. The kind of person who thinks you can visit New York City and the Grand Canyon in the same day and have to worry about mass shooters everywhere all the time.
