Race is a protected class where we as a society have explicitly decided that there are societal benefits to overriding free association in the course of the transaction public business (emphasis on public, both in the governmental and the "running a business" sense of the term). "Racist jerk" is not a protected class.

I think cherry-picking is far more reasonable of a proposal than somehow developing a black-and-white rule out of an infinite space of infinite dimensional speech or abandoning the pursuit of rational discourse by allowing absolutely everything in every context.
What about government contractors? They're funded by the government. Your way of thinking about it taints every dollar that passes through government, forcing everything that deals with the government to be treated as part of the government.

> It's simply a different world view.

One that states that people with more melatonin are fundamentally inferior and should be subservient to people with less melatonin. It is a point of view that is objectively and morally wrong.

I wonder whether you would support the right of people to state that PoC should be sterilized, or the rights of people to call people to attack PoCs. Because that is what more and more people have been calling for in America. That is what Richard Spencer, one of the leaders of the alt-right, advocates.

The problem with these 'different world views' is that even without directly stating that people should attack minorities, these statements lead to people beating up black people on the streets. The more these ideas and 'world views' are accepted, the more acceptable it will become to think and state such things, leading to a resurgence of people who think that PoCs should be murdered. That will then directly impact the probability of someone acting upon those beliefs.

The reason why the rest of the world does have as bad a racism problem as America, is because they took steps to alienate people who had such views.
The discussion is not about racial differences in intelligence, but since race was brought up as it being discriminated against by people like me (white, male) for being the reason of their weak performance, I post this as a possible alternate explanation. Up to you to dig deeper if you think it's a good enough hypothesis.

The most common reasons for resistance are: you have insider knowledge that makes it easier to find/exploit bugs and that we're not a big enough target for people to explicitly hack us.

And they're not necessarily wrong either.

Despite the paranoia about children's information, it's not actually worth very much, so why bother to steal it?

If you do anything that has grades, you may find that students are motivated to hack you, but otherwise there are probably not a whole lot of people who will target you.

If the issues are so brazen that automated tools like sqlmap will hack you, then that's probably a good thing to show.

Even if you manage to convince people that security is truly lacking, security needs to be painless rather than something everyone buys into and is constantly vigilant about, so try to advocate for solutions that can handle security for you automatically, eg libraries, etc.

But for most orgs, you're really not likely to get hacked through your webapp (unless it is truly atrocious), but rather someone in your org accidentally installing ransomware and encrypting your shared files.

Sometimes, taxes are imposed as a substitute for a law, especially when such a law would not be possible.

For instance, poll taxes were routinely used as a substitute for laws banning black Americans from voting.

Attempts to punish tax evasion that are more costly to pursue than the revenues generated from the tax being evaded are tyrannical. The cost-benefit analysis makes it clear that the tax in question is a lever to control people rather than a means of raising revenue for some particular purpose.

Please don't try to argue with my foil-hatted self. I have tried it on occasion, and it just never works. Better for me to just cram it into a locked compartment of my brain, and only let it out for entertainment purposes. But even my more rational personality components can detect the odor of trimethylamine in the Federal Reserve-Treasury relationship.

Perhaps it is because I can still hear foil-hat tapping on the pipes when it is locked up, but the manner in which the government measures inflation and publishes inflation statistics is not entirely honest. Look into price indices [0], and in particular, the price indices that US policymakers use [1] [2]. It is clear that they choose to use measures that understate real inflation. Furthermore, they occasionally change the method of calculation, without putting hard breaks in all the time series graphs. That can cause the index to further understate inflation. That isn't to say that you should believe the favorite sites of fearmongers and gold-hawkers (i.e. ShadowStats) either. Be skeptical of anyone trying to tell you what your money is worth.

Trying to track money through the government is more than a full-time job, and would be a boring and infuriating hobby for an amateur. As such, few people can perceive how their taxes become... well, anything. In that environment, tax evasion frequently becomes rationalized as a victimless crime, and political corruption grows in the spaces where no one ever looks.

Transparency and open records would go further to prevent tax evasion than any number of law enforcers hunting down those people that attempt it, as would simply dropping those taxes that cost more to collect than they bring in.

Having lost 15+ kg using caloric restriction, and kept it off for the past 5+ years, based on my own anecdata I'm inclined to disagree. I don't eat meat, though, so maybe my caloric restriction also reduces carbs enough?
There's a bit of a difference between "I don't like this" and "I'm going to respond to this by attempting to destroy your social and professional life". It's disingenuous to pretend that your argument encompasses only the former, when identical contentions are so often deployed in support of the latter.

So should black comedians be jailed for their jokes when they generalize about other groups? Should Dave Chapelle be in prison for making jokes about white people, since that's what you're implying?

Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

What these kids did was not racist.
Although the point I think you're making is pretty much true for all circumstantial evidence. Sure maybe someone who looks like you took your car for a drive in the middle of the night while you were sleeping, but absent a plausible alternative theory, a jury is going to be skeptical.

In almost all states, the money has gone to Medicaid. In Virginia (which I know well), the money also went to build a bunch of prisons in the 80's and 90's. But, if you look at the distribution of state budgets over the past 40 years, health care expenses and prisons have been the growth areas.
I feel like the difference between "needs" and "wants" is an elementary distinction we make on a day-to-day basis. But when we're talking about firms and economics, the distinction does not exist except as labels for the amount of elasticity in demand something has.
The data centers don't run on renewable. They just purchase the equivalent in renewable energy. In theory it results in reduced emissions, but it provides a misleading view into how viable renewable energy is.
But at the same time, there must be a line drawn somewhere, surely?

Yes - it's fully reasonable for Harvard to rescind admission for someone who's a convicted felon, for example.

But posting offensive memes on the internet isn't illegal. Saying racist/sexist things isn't illegal. It's certainly something to have a conversation about, but not to totally alter their future.

If I write an extremely offensive admissions essay claiming immigrants are sub-human I shouldn't expect to be admitted.

Absolutely! And if that is your submission to Harvard, that is entirely fair. I just don't think memes in a private Facebook group is something that you put up as your submission. Again, it's one thing if Harvard warned them, and they held their ground. It's another thing entirely to do it without warning, or a chance to explain themselves.
i hate usernames, facebook, real name, i believe in merit not a reputation. If i you want to hate/like me based on posts thats ok, but not if you judge me on reputation/points.
No, there was a private group that required offensive material be posted to the main Harvard group to get access. The main group was private only inasmuch as you had to be an (incoming?) Harvard student.

This is no different than students posting offensive material on a physical message board on some main through fare on campus.

Edit: Actually, it's somewhat unclear to what degree and what material was required to be posted on the main chat, and what portion was in a separate private chat (still likely associated with Harvard in some way?). The article is unclear on these points. Harvard still has the right to gate admissions how they like (and they state that includes "moral character"), so if they are able to determine you are participating in actions they don't approve of, then they have grounds to reject you or revoke your prior acceptance. Just as if they Google'd you on your initial application and found verifiable and unsettling information.

Look at the appendix, they report three different "scopes" for emissions. yeah, they could move anything polluting to somewhere else in the alphabet umbrella, but it's still in-scope for reporting.

"Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from sources we own or control, such as company vehicles or generators at Google’s offices and data centers. Scope 2
emissions are indirect emissions from the production of electricity we purchase to run our operations. The location-based category reflects the average carbon intensity
of the grids where our operations are located and thus where our energy consumption occurs. The market-based category incorporates our procurement choices, i.e.,
our renewable energy purchases via contractual mechanisms like PPAs. Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions from other sources in our value chain, such as
business travel or our suppliers"
Black comedy or dark comedy is a comic style that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo.

So no, if you define a joke as 'black humor', the taboo IS the joke. If the intent of the joke is sincere racism, it's not black humor.

First of all, where did I say anything about prison?

Second, this was clearly antagonism directed against someone of a different race, and is therefore racist.
I agree. As soon as someone shares a number, such as with diversity, it now opens up the questions of why others yet do not or will not.

While I understand the single master key way makes it trivial to manage multiple clients, it is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned since you cannot rotate it once you've used it as a credential on multiple services. And what about revocation? If you support neither rotation nor revocation, each credential must be independent or you are painting yourself into a corner.
More importantly, LEED is bullshit.

LEED is a private entity that you pay to get LEED certification based on your planned designs. Once you have certification, you could build literally anything else. If you buy a LEED certified building, you could convert it to be heated and powered by burning tires and endangered animals- still LEED Certified.

There is no decertification process, because that would mean spending money to reduce the number of buildings with the very-public name on it. Why would LEED ever want that?

Oh this is a BRILLIANT point! We almost never breakdown our perspectives based on age, much less take a moment to reflect on which of our ages is being represented by a thought.

I think the natural bias to put discrete values on things existing on a spectrum is where is all stems from. "We want to keep things simple, so here's this recipe for self-esteem" as opposed to "here's an age-based breakdown of ways to build self-esteem". Even then, the "enlightened" example is missing loads of other conditions, like if the person suffered emotional abuse or has automatic negative thoughts.

Also, banning score-keeping is the naive approach. I think an interesting one would be to add a game score & encourage both teams to collaborate to increase it. I don't know how it'd effect things, but it'd be fun to find out!

+1 for the "dragon book". Though the criticism about it being too focused on lex/yacc-era compilers and not being relevant today might have a point, I still find the mix of pragmatism and formal language theory absolutely worth the read, stylish/Unix-y, and even entertaining - for me, truly a hallmark of "American-style" comp.sci. standard literature (as opposed to more theoretical expositions to the topic).

Also, Donald Knuth's "The Art of Programming" (at least the fundamental and sorting/searching algorithms books), plus a book about graph theory and algorithms.

Well they hired people and then fired them, so whatever you want to call that. I have a friend that was at Google and a friend that was at Apple, each was laid off because they no longer want to manufacture cars, which is why they were hired. Also Google actually did manufacture those weird small cars that they've been using for some time, and decided they don't want to mass manufacture them.

100 Essential Books of Computer Science
From time to time (every 2 years or so) I make an attempt at buying a Windows license in order to run some program that only runs on windows. In 10 years (5 or so attempts) I have yet to figure out what edition of Windows I want, how to buy it and how to download an ISO image of it so I can load it into a VMWare image. Every time I realize that the effort just isn't worth it so I give up.

I just want an OS that works. So I use OSX and I use Linux. Where I don't have to care much about what I'm running. At most I have to occasionally care about the revision I'm running being a bit old. But there's no nonsense with different editions that I need to waste time on.
This looks like a great resource. I buy a lot of used tools on Craigslist, and of course, nobody ever keeps the manuals. So it's always the same time-consuming task:

1. Go to the manufacturer's web site, if they still exist, and see if they have a manual there

2. Search Google for "MODEL# pdf". Wade through pages of pond scum search engine spam and paid sites for a half hour. Apparently, enough people search for manuals to make this profitable.

3. Do some web research to find similar product model numbers (maybe 8029A manual would cover 8029B too?) and repeat 1-2 above.

4. Start searching through forums and other hard-to-index parts of the web.

5. Check torrent sites? (now I'm getting desperate!)

It's crazy how tough it can be to find a user manual. In many cases, I end up finding one scanned by another end-user and posted online to be helpful. It's also a shame that 1/2 the comments here are about copyright. I can't see how taking a site like this down would in any way benefit a manufacturer whose manual is available. Unless the manufacturer is trying to make money selling their user manual, in which case to hell with that shitty company.

Except that the premise of Cards Against Humanity is that you are all opting in to the situation where you expect that, and usually an a somewhat private setting.

The equivalent to the CAH suggestion would be where some private group of people indicated that to become members, you had to go to a public cafe and play CAH loudly in public. Were that Cafe to get mad at you and ban you from their premises, getting upset at that outcome is rather silly. You either knew that was a possibly outcome, or you should have known. In any case, that Cafe is well within their rights to decide they want nothing to do with you anymore.

You sound very close to advocating a "Not invented here" approach. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here)

There are some rare cases where that makes sense (Keyword: RARE), but most times I've seen developers take that stance, it leads to longer development times, less consistent code, more maintenance work, and generally pretty shitty outcomes.
