I think the idea is "Liberation from set expectations", i.e. the MUST in "must be a in a provider". At least, that WAS the idea at some point, not sure it has stood the test of time, and modern rhetoric seems to have gone to a bizarre place.

The idea is that we should be free of societal expectations, and free to choose our own path, is liberation I can get behind. It is the part of the modern, western world I embrace and am happy for, that I am free to chose my own path. Neither I nor anyone else should be judged against a sense of universal criteria, because my happy life might be someone else's living hell, and the multitude of lifestyles possible is something I like.

Sometimes, I think all sides get this wrong. Feminism that doesn't value stay at home mothers who freely make that choice from personal preference is just enforcing a different norm, not a freedom from norms. Ditto the reverse and a view women should only be SAHM, or that men should be providers, or strong, or whatever.

I have no idea if any of that is possible at scale and, quite frankly, I don't care. I am going to live my life how I see fit, grant everyone else the same privilege, and let ideologues argue amongst themselves about what people should do.

Yes and no - I quite like using my GearVR/S6Edge in Cinema mode in bed. It's not full HD resolution, since its sharing it's 2560 horizontal pixels between each eye (and I suspect losing some to the optics as well), but it's a different (and nicer) experience to watching the full 2048 pixels across my iPad screen... It's not a direct replacement for a full HD projector and a 16foot wide silver screen on your loungeroom wall, but it's definitely not unusable.

(I wouldn't want to code on it though. It's around 1280px horizontal resolution (per eye), but it's spread across a much wider field of view than a typical laptop or external monitor screen, and it's either going to move with your head or lag slightly behind your head movement - depending on the mode you've set it to - and you quite likely aren't going to be comfortable with that for hours on end...)
And here's the other thing. The DNCs servers being hacked and the wikileaks release of DNC emails are not necessarily even related.

Assange is on record as saying as much (and lambasting journalists who can't count to two).

Granted, he has an incentive to spread misinformation about the identity of his sources, but it's not impossible that's there's a pro-bernie (or even just an anti-corruption) sys-admin working for the DNC who wanted this stuff to come to light.

For me, allegations of Russia 'interfering' in a US election pale in comparison to actual evidence of the DNC interfering to undermine the democratic process.

The "statutory rape" claim against Milk comes, wholly unsourced to the best of my knowledge, from Matt Barber of the Liberty Council, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group along with some of its allies like the AFA. It was later later picked up by and cited by such sterling journalistic organs as WorldNetDaily. Barber and his organization are strong supporters of gay conversion therapy and are responsible for such reality-averse humdingers as the idea that Matthew Shepard--pistol-whipped to a skull fracture, tied to a fence, left for dead by self-admitted gay-bashers--had nothing to do with homosexuality. They are charming, wonderful people and the people who cite them gave up on dog whistles a while ago in favor of desperate, reactionary bullhorns. (It's not working.)
Totally reasonable comment. But "Does anyone think this exit is going to actually harm Mayer's employability?" Yes, absolutely. The overwhelming narrative from the media and the public is that she failed, she made terrible decisions, and someone else could have done a lot better. I'm sure the people in charge of choosing CEOs are capable of seeing through that narrative and assessing her actual performance, but if they care about their stock price, they have to care about what the public thinks. Choosing Mayer will no longer get you articles about your fresh new direction, it will produce stories about her past failures. This certainly would apply to male CEOs as well, but I don't agree that taking the Yahoo job was basically a win/win.

The reason for this type of password security theatre is that it maintains the fantasy world of purely human password management:

1. Every password only ever exists inside the brain of the user, or inside the password entry field in the UI of the application at the time of login.

Unfortunately there are additional requirements, which make it impossible for anyone who is not superhuman to satisfy the first requirement:

2. All passwords should be unique across applications (or websites)

3. All passwords are long and random enough that they cannot be guessed by password-cracking software in a reasonable amount of time.

4. There is an ever-growing list of applications and websites that require passwords.

You can't blame Microsoft for Nokia, Nokia screwed themselves over. They never considered the importance off software, hardware was always number one for Nokia. Even when the iPhone came out they laughed and didn't change tack.

They had all the money, all the opportunity, and they thought if they keep pumping out the same stuff, people will stay with them.
It was a MS product (even the early OS/2 2.0 SDKs from the 1990 period). The entire OS/2 2.0 fiasco is one of my favorite topics, partly because of how horrible and unethical it was.
I have often wondered why MS hasn't been able to grab a significant chunk of the smartphone market by courting enterprise. Most people don't care about all the apps that are available to Android and Apple on their work phones and you would think being able to run the same operating system across all of your companies PCs and smartphones would be a major draw.

The tech companies you've mentioned are not like Berkshire's model at all.

I suppose it's a scale thing. At a small scale, including human scale, gravity is weak and the other forces are strong. At a large scale, the other forces don't really exist at all, and so it is gravity that is strong.
I have to wonder whether Eco's approach is flawed in its systematizing.

It is a noble flaw in every intellectual to categorize, dissect and flay their prey. Then produce a general theory from the evidence scattered before him. Hayek used to bitch about it.

However another view could be the gaps that exist between Fascism and Communism are to be explained by historical circumstances, geography and the prevailing orthodoxies of the day rather than a grand theory of Anarchism, Capitalism, Communism or any other -ism.

Those could just be the retroactively generated cover stories. We like coherent stories to hang our ideas on. Notice for instance how World War II has gradually resolved in the public's mind as something like a historical fiction, involving 'good guys' and 'bad guys'. I am not a relativist but I find it frightening that 'good guys' has a flexible enough range to include Joesph Stalin.

Apart from the problem of treating a World War like a Cowboy Western, much less attention is paid today to the interaction between the extreme leftists (Bolsheviks and anarchists) and the extreme right (Nazis) in the lead up to World War II.

For instance I was very surprised to understand in the BBC documentary "The Nazis, a warning from history" (an excellent documentary) the degree to which the activities of the Bolsheviks influenced the rise of the Nazis. The hate directed towards the Jews is incomprehensible unless you grasp the fact that nearly every Bolshevik bomber was Jewish. My school textbook neglected to mention this and popular culture also uses racial hate as a deus ex machina of a backstory. It is a given, but never elaborated on.

This only finally clicked with me when I saw interviews with German POWs who were constantly harping on protecting civilization from the Bolsheviks. To them everything they did was justified in light of that. They weren't Nazis and they didn't appear to especially hate Jews. Still, they were part of the machine.

This means to me, that hate is a short term impulse and the actual destruction of minorities within Germany was in fact a clinical decision, fully rationalized and accepted by the public. The newspapers might have ranted but the public weren't composed mostly of bigots. They were composed of people who eventually just stopped caring because their way of life was under threat. The threat to a minority isn't necessarily hate, but a kind of widely shared exhaustion and apathy.

I fear those who complain we've forgotten our history, have actually forgotten our history for an absurd simplification about irrational hate. I feel like the mainstream interpretation of history is actually now the politically incorrect one.

Or a real deterrent to people doing creative work for its own sake. I no longer hear of people just building something new because they want to build things. Everyone needs funding, or else they just... don't.

Sure! Most of the equations you find in your nearest physics or chemistry books are validated experimentally/empirically. The validation comes by better and better approximating the data generating process.

Honestly, when iPhone first came out it was pretty much a toy. No apps? Even dumbphones could run J2ME stuff!

Veertu's main obstacle is cross-platform support. The point of providing virtualbox images is that they will work everywhere.

Look at the number of opensource projects distributing Hyper-V images, which has the exact same problem; and the OSX market is orders of magnitude smaller.

I like the Veertu concept and I think it has its advantages, but realistically, it has no chance to encroach on VB's market share.
I have personally witnessed couples where the cause of the job loss was marital stress. Husband's job performance suffered because of things going on at home, company decides to cut back jobs, stressed husband is on the low end of performance and gets cut. It just adds to the mess at that point. Often the wife felt that the husband was less than he was before without his job, and ditched him.

I've also seen men in that situation who bounce back professionally after a divorce. Usually not immediately, but relatively short term (1 to 5 years).

The correlation is not that surprising, but I agree with others here who note that it is not provable as causation. Too many factors.

In the grand scheme of things this is probably where the biggest opportunity is, but I don't think Apple is in the best position to take advantage of this.

Tesla because they have their software already in the field learning (autopilot), and Uber because they already have the network for transport as a service.
> This is factual information that does make the DNC look bad, because frankly, it was really bad.

Yes, a lot of people have been very insistent that a lot of things in those emails make the DNC look really really bad. I've even seen them referred to as treasonous.

Strangely, not a lot of people actually bother to mention specifics about what, in those emails, we're supposed to be outraged over, only that we're supposed to be outraged.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Hillary fan by any means, but the obvious attempt at propaganda is obvious, when every attempt to discuss the possible Russian connection to the DNC hacks, and Trump's links to Putin and Russia (whatever the smoke to fire ratio might be, there) is met with immediate attempts to change the subject to Clinton and the DNC emails.
The guide doesn't turn off or remove Cortana so much as uses a race condition to break it. Basically, you attempt to rename the Cortana directoy, inevitably fail, then kill the Cortana process and-then-quickly-click-retry in the error dialog that showed up. If you're fast, you can rename the directory before Cortana can boot and lock it in use again. (I assume you can then purge the directory afterward. Bonus points if there's a way to fubar the directory so that it can't be restored (violent symlinking?))
From what I have read elsewhere, the data sets used for this type of decision making is biased towards race. That is an area of research currently.

The pitches in alternate tuning systems like JI and maqam are sometimes, but not always, denoted with extra information. Quarter-flats, cent indicators, and so on, distinguish the note-pitch representations. While tuning systems can indeed be transposed or converted to unmodified standard (ET) staff notation, that's more of a convenience that has its own learning curve.

So, in JI you wouldn't simply use 'A' to represent (e.g.) 440Hz, it might be A 4, for the "A" key (or "A" staff position) having a 4 cent difference than ET A.[1]

I would say you are getting down voted because the MRM seems to be not limited to trying to make things better for men but also endless attacking women and creating stawman(woman) feminism.

Men do face many challenges. Some men have dangerous jobs which they die providing for society (fishing, war, etc). This doesn't get enough acknowledgement. But one doesn't have to be a total jerk to make this point and tear others down.

> and the fact that a lot of men tie their identity to their employment so strongly

At least this part is nothing new. Men have always (up until now and I'd argue that this is still true today) tied their identity, masculinity and even self-worth as a human being to their profession as society expected men contribute the necessary resources to their families in order to support wife & children.

If a man couldn't provide the resources anymore he usually lost his value and function to his family and society.
