Tons of the words in the english language are gender specific -- ban them all because some small number of people decided not to "identify with established gender roles" anymore, and that its not enough for them to do so, all speakers of the language should also change their ways?

It's mostly pandering to individuals with an inflated sense of self importance (everybody change the language to cater for our particular use case and "offence"), and it's disgraceful and hypocritical because it leverages previous generations fights for actual discrimination and intolerance (e.g. against gays and lesbians) by taking to extremes from people that have it too easy today (or don't even belong to said minorities, but just "fight the good fight" in their name).

This was the survey done in the Netherlands a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orienta...

NL is a very liberal, small and tolerant society - thus is a much better sample than the US (where being gay may still not be looked upon favorably by a large part of the population).
You guys might be intererested in the Swedish site lexbase.se. They asked the courts for five years of records, cross-ran them with the population registration and presented the data using a search prompt taking a name or address as search terms.

This is normally illegal as it violates some integrity laws, but it is ok under current legislation if you have a "utgivningsbevis", something you need to register for to use your freedom of speech in published writing.

The site was poorly built and their full database was leaked nearly instantly.

I'd never thought of it in the terms that the article author presents, but I think he has a point.

If you are a reporter, you have a very good reason to use Tor. When searched at a border or by some police force, having tools made for privacy and security is going to be expected. Having tools for human rights activists is going to cause trouble.
Interesting concept. For tech/coding specific lists, we have the various awesome lists on GitHub, but this is a generic approach and solves a more general problem.

My intent to is to ask about the children of people born in America. The parents lacked a high school or college education and the children lacked a high school or college education. Average wages don't work unless it also takes into account people in this category who are want jobs but are unable to get them.

In order to successfully complete college, one needs an IQ of 110 which is of course above average of 100. Others are being left out not because they don't work hard, but because of biology/opportunity.

If one reads Harford's book, which I found out from the Freakonomics people, they'll get a better idea that the intent is that low educated immigrants compete with low educated American citizens for jobs and drive down wages and that highly educated immigrants (think H1-B visas) compete with highly educated American citizens.

The problem is not immigration, but the percentage of the population should have remained at 5% of the population and not at nearly 14% (which does not include 11 million immigrants here illegally).

By comparison, in 1990 about 1 million of 60 million Brits (1.5%) and now it is 3.3 million or about 5%. The legal immigrant levels in the US today are 3 times that of the level the Brits voted for BrExit.

And yet some mid level autocratic bureaucrats in various totalitarian countries will now label Tor as a threat to state control and hence will treat any users with suspicion regardless of what said users claim to be using Tor for. Mid level bureaucrats largely don't understand the nuances of technology and cryptography but they certainly understand a political statement when they see one.

And so while it might be click bait to say that this will wind up killing someone but at the same time you can say that it is far from impossible.

I often have to help a family member who is blind. Trying to use a phone with Voiceover or Talkback is the most horrific experience. Each button or key press takes 3 time-sensitive taps, while it speaks the contents of that button/key in a robotic voice.

I say this as a sighted person, but is this really the best we can do? If you're blind I can imagine how important it is that it works at all, but it still sucks.

Annoyingly, what my family member really needs for their use case is an old-style phone with tactile keyboard - if it weren't for the fact that they also need to voice dial, hear who's calling, and hear incoming texts.

>I'll go ahead and jump down your throat for saying something really stupid. For one thing, no speech is banned.

Perhaps you mean "no speech is totally banned". Because it sure as hell it IS banned from being part of the conference.

>Crockford can say whatever the fuck he wants.

Nobody said they established their own dictatorship across the country and prevented him from speaking everywhere, so this "correction" is beside the point.

He is totally not allowed to say what he wants as part of his presentation, because it was cancelled. And that was because some people couldn't accept him saying some things elsewhere either.

What if someone takes offence of your "whatever the fuck he wants" line as sexist? Should you be thrown our from HN?

You'd still be able to say "whatever you want" elsewhere, so no harm, right?
Well, I think Crockford is a standup guy and probably went to far with the Trump thing and the name calling but whatever. Sometimes you get passionate about a topic, it is what it is.

I have to come to lukev's defense here. How are lukev's points any different from those being made by trjordan in this thread? It's very apparent to me that lukev's comments are being downvoted because of disagreements with the viewpoint they express, not because they are provocative or manipulative. Whereas the original comment by hubert123 (for example) is much closer to "trolling" (edit as I understand it, anyway).

The case in question is manifestly ridiculous. It'll be a while before anything can unseat this snafu as the poster child for inclusivity-gone-too-far. The last one perhaps being the Brendan Eich affair, although I think that case is at least debatable (by "reasonable" people).

But—and this is the point—there still is still a "line" (the baby), even though some people will always draw it way too tight (the bathwater). Line crossed (IMHO): https://statement-on-lambdaconf.github.io/ (edit To clarify, I agree with the signatories that the line was crossed by inviting the speaker in question.)
You're the one who linked to the piece. I think it's your job to be clear that it doesn't say that, it's your conclusion.
Inclusivity is so last year. Look how well Trump is doing. Trump brought intolerance out of the closet. Like him or not, he's changed American politics.

I drive though and wish I didn't. The start to my day has been far less stressful when taking a train, bus, or carpooling. I've kept my car around because the nature of working in LA means that you might go from working one mile from home to somewhere all the way across the city. People say 'live closer to work' but it's kind of hard when you have an area you like living in at a (relatively) affordable price.

This ties in with the families/homeowners. Work moves, or closes down, and you might end up having to drive where it goes or where you can get a job. It's hard to live centrally and public transit is still in its infancy here.

The subway is getting expanded, though I feel the hub and spoke pattern doesn't help us as a city, and the stations are too widely spread apart to make it worthwhile to walk to. The buses...well, it would take me an hour, with one change, to make it 2.5 miles to where my work currently is. That's if it comes on time (which it never does). There aren't dedicated bus lanes, and people would protest if they cut down a lane on some of the major streets to make it so.

Biking is an option but I'm not really into the risk over reward with that at this time. Too many people I know have been doored or hit by cars (at least one a hit and run). Police don't enforce traffic laws and that makes it less safe for cars, bikes, and pedestrians.

Lyft/Uber have been a godsend though. Whether carpooling to other places in the city, and sometimes to work (my coworkers all leave at different times so it's hard to do regularly), and especially for safe nights out, everyone in my age group (mid-20s to 30s) heavily use the apps. I only use Lyft due to having some moral opposition to Uber, plus their drivers always seem better and not just former taxi drivers (who were shit when they were taxi drivers). I used to take taxis prior to the apps but always had trouble with them showing up at scheduled times and knowing where to actually go.

So, for now, I'll drive to work and feel a little guilty. I'll take Lyft and the subway when necessary. Still a sharp nope to the buses.

This is an interesting point I hadn't considered but I'm skeptical the rebranding will substantially change anything for people living in repressive countries. Governments that flag someone as suspicious or arrest someone for using Tor would have done so before the rebranding. These governments don't need to convince a jury or an impartial judge that Tor is a dissident network. They are already well aware of how Tor is used to circumvent the government firewall both by commoners who just want to watch YouTube videos and by activists to communicate.
The Bar
> It is sad to watch the Tor Project implode.

I don't see this as an implosion. I am not fond of the majority of SJW rhetoric as a lot of the defenses seen in those circles seem to be constructed as thought-terminating cliché.

I have much respect for Virgil, but I also think Tor is in need of a rebrand at home.

Ancap/cypherpunk messages are not agreeable to the mainstream, and they do not maintain a project when it becomes this close to mainstream. The common Western observer begins to equate the network with the abusive practices inherent in anonymous communication. The average user sees "Tor" and thinks "child porn" or "drug dealers", or "Mr. Robot" hacker types. These are things that economic resources that have to answer to Western political authorities will run from, and if the project needs funding, it needs to have a feel-good message that supporters can parrot to politicians and others that actually have power.

I, too, am an anarchocapitalist cypherpunk type. But I'm realistic enough to recognize you can only push that platform so far as an organization scales. Most people still won't care.

Full disclosure: I am not affiliated with Tor, but I have run relays in the past and will likely run more in the future.
For example, to distribute the system obtained by reverse engineering to your customers or include it in your product; none of this needs your engineers to be actual users of the (possibly competing) service. The interoperability exception in copyright laws is exactly for this purpose, to allow companies to distribute competing products that are interoperable with something that doesn't want others to interoperate. You're not required to make it easy for others to interoperate, but if they manage to do so, the government won't hold your copyright as a valid reason to forbid it.

Violating a law is "illegal" in the sense that it may result in penalties prescribed in that law.

Violating a contract is "illegal" in the sense that it may result in contractual penalties, generally limited to compensation of the damages, possibly with punitive tripling; but it may and should be done if the contract has gone so bad that it's better to face the consequences rather than fulfill the contract.

Violating ToS (which is not even a contract) is "illegal" if you really stretch that term; it may result in losing access to that service, and nothing else (excepting certain US-only legal perversions like CFAA which happily don't apply for most people in the world), so you may do that if the benefit outweighs continued access to that service.
Some of those costs are paid by public funds, and money is fungible, so you could argue that alcohol taxes support mitigating the effects of alcohol use. But the second effect of lowering consumption is probably more important.
This was just a cool hack for fun, but there's another aspect to it: power efficiency.

It might be getting 25% more throughput but using a GPU instead of a CPU may be consuming 2x to 10x less power. For some specialized use cases, even the difference can be much bigger.

He probably didn't measure it but this is something that people writing software for embedded system-on-chips (SoC) think about often (this includes mobile apps, look at the number of reviews with mentions about battery life in app stores). It's very important as battery life and thermal throttling make a lot of difference in the mobile/embedded/automotive/aerospace industries.
Where do they stop? Do they just double park?

When setting up a new apartment, in addition to the big stuff, I always find myself bringing home ~5 carloads of stuff from Target and Home Depot. Does that just explode into several dozen bicycle trips, or do you also use taxis for that? Where do they unload?
I read that text too and that's what I was thinking when I made that comment
Take, for example, "he" and "they".

For centuries, "they" has been plural and "he" has been used for gender-neutral singular third-person.

Now, some find that situation unacceptable and are trying to make everyone else change the way they speak and write.

"they" and "you" act exactly the same way. Which is no surprise, because both are originally plural. What difference are you referring to?
Really like the idea. Thought about similar things before. This is an educational app and thereby makes the world a better place. I like the idea of getting people educated without them noticing it at first.
I don't see human rights coming down either side of the argument here. It's about what type of society you want to live in. Scandinavia tend to want to identify as a more social culture whereas others will want an individual based society.

I think the one word someone from the outside should take with them about Scandinavia is "relax". Most things like these matter less than you think.
I understand the need to give the benefit of the doubt to someone, but going out of your ways to not recognize the higher probability of this comment being irony seems kind of naive to me. Im my opinion, this looks like a 90% probability of irony and only 10% sincerity. The commentator never made the claim of being butt hurt and kept the conversation technical, but Crockford's comment comes out of nowhere and seems to want to achieve some degree of infantalization that was clearly unnecessary. Given the context of this exchange it's really difficult to me to see it otherwise than a sly middle-finger. I think people trying to see it otherwise are clinging a bit too much to their principles. This is not a court of law folks, it's real life.

No such message.
Using Tor already marks you as suspicious depending on who's looking, regardless of why you use it.

This is a curious construction, one that I can't pin down to any kind of secondary-language issues. "Using Tor" is not the subject of that sentence, "who's looking" is. So, some people see Tor as suspicious. Who are those people, and why is it a problem? Law enforcement...anybody else?

What does it mean for Tor traffic to be demeaned by law enforcement (or $chosen_group) as by-default suspicious, and is this a good use of their time and resources? Is it a good way to solve crimes? History tells us that law enforcement, and by extension the government, will use bigotry to effect prosecutorial goals at least as readily as they will shoe-leather investigation. Defining Tor as suspicious-with-exceptions operates in the same sphere as asset forfeitture: prove you ain't.

Point being, I think it's important to be clear what is happening with Tor as a character in the wider world of politics and policy, and "using Tor" is something that I don't think needs to be justified. Passive voice also elides these serious issues by pinning results on nebulous activity.
That comment reminds me of those informercials where people can't open a carton of milk without pouring it all over themselves so they need some fan dangled gadget for $19.95 to help them do it.
