undefined1··on China’s millennials, Gen Z leading nation away from American culture
they are related. Hollywood movies get worse the more they push the woke religion. it's a lot like Christian rock.
undefined1··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
> Why make everything about identity; where has the traditional focus on class gone?

that's the point of identity politics, to take away that focus by distracting and dividing the working class

undefined1··on Addiction to Outrage (2020)
“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

Friedrich W. Nietzsche

undefined1··on Addiction to Outrage (2020)
history will not look kindly on Twitter, Facebook and the news media. they're even worse than the tobacco industry.
undefined1··on Gender, race, and entrepreneurship: A randomized field experiment on investors
correct. it's the perfect way to divide the lower class and no coincidence that identity politics was embraced by the upper class after Occupy Wall St

undefined1··on Suez Canal: How are they trying to free the Ever Given?
given the endless display of incompetence we've seen the past year on almost every front, I'd say it's fair.
undefined1··on Is that ship still stuck?
but did they try turning it off and on again?
undefined1··on Red Hat statement about RMS’s return to the Free Software Foundation board
people have forgotten that intent matters.

also,

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." Stephen Fry

undefined1··on Red Hat statement about RMS’s return to the Free Software Foundation board
is Red Hat themselves caving to the mob or have they been internally compromised by totalitarian activists?
undefined1··on Funds for Open Source
not exactly welcoming to neurodivergent individuals and those who don't perfectly conform to the approved orthodoxy. that letter is gross, slanderous and cult-like ("dangerous force", "These sorts of beliefs"). it's straight out of Scientology's Suppressive Person playbook. it does not speak for the open source community. it speaks for a small set of authoritarians who wield weaponized empathy and threat of banishment as a means to control people.

please reconsider.

undefined1··on Reddit’s most popular subreddits go private in protest against ‘censorship’
I find it interesting that Reddit still manages to find themselves invoking the Streisand effect in full force.
undefined1··on They Just Moved to Austin. Now They Want to End One of Its Traditions
exactly. the elites couldn't be happier about the discourse being diverted away from the real issues. instead they have everyone caught up in a moral panic over melanin and identity.

undefined1··on Does Media Coverage Inspire Copy Cat Mass Shootings?
how do we get the media to change their approach?
undefined1··on Reddit is banning any Aimee Challenor mention. UK public figure and Reddit admin
is this being done by Reddit employees or Reddit volunteers?
undefined1··on New details on military UFO sightings
why is the video quality of UFO sightings always so terrible, in a world increasingly filled with high quality cameras?

I found this one amusing too:

undefined1··on In January, there were more real-estate agents than homes for sale in the U.S.
similar recent case here, where the tenants stopped paying and wouldn't move out. the landlord ended up selling at a loss with the tenants still in:

undefined1··on YouTube and Patreon Still Aren’t Paying the Rent for Most Creatives
Schools should really start teaching basic principles, such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law

undefined1··on The absolute worst scenario happened
good idea in that thread:

If you don't have a backup of your zone files, a good way to quickly pick up the main domains being used would be to turn on logging for your DNS server and output into a log collector. That way you can quickly build queries on which IPs are asking for which FQDNs and start rebuilding a list of your lost zones and can maybe do some guess-work on which IPs those FQDNs were likely to resolve to.

I would expect irregular or extremely infrequent processes that use specific FQDNs will pop up from time to time as errors/failed processes and should prime IT teams on what to look out for.

undefined1··on As U.S. schools shuttered, student mental health cratered, survey finds
is there evidence that schools have meaningfully contributed to Covid spread?
undefined1··on NYC Spent Half a Million Dollars per Inmate in 2020, Report Says
Andrew Yang made a related point about the $1k/month Freedom Dividend (UBI). if you're in prison, you don't get it. more incentive to stay out and easier given the guaranteed income of at least $1k/mo.
undefined1··on Cryptography behind the top cryptocurrencies
if that happens, how far and fast would Bitcoin fall?
undefined1··on GitHub, fuck your name change
FWIW, they posted an update:

"It has come to my attention that at the time of writing one of the links used points to a site with views I don’t identify with and has since been removed."

undefined1··on Young female Japanese biker is 50-year-old man using FaceApp
to dominate the top of leaderboards, whether it's Youtube or Starcraft, takes a single-minded obsession that is more common with men.

Pewdiepie was obsessed with having the most subscribers. Mr. Beast did little else than obsess over the Youtube algorithm for many years on end.

undefined1··on Calling for public input on our approach to world leaders
how about a simple rule?

No politicians on Twitter.

undefined1··on A new moralism is gripping the literary world
it's like if Spotify suddenly started recommending Christian Rock.
undefined1··on A new moralism is gripping the literary world
it's not true that JK Rowling was or is doing that. that's a misrepresentation.
undefined1··on Vitalik escalates ETH 2.0 merge as miners plan a 51% attack
is this also an issue with Ethereum competitors like Cardano?
undefined1··on China’s Bitcoin miners flee Inner Mongolia ahead of crypto mining ban
