No, what I'm suggesting is that we, as humans, use our capacity for critical thought, and evaluate situations based on the context around them, instead of giving up and pretending that we're not able to do that.
It depends on the context.

I mostly focus on users of VPN services. It's still rare for them to handle IPv6 traffic. So if you have IPv6 connectivity, IPv6 will leak, bypassing the VPN. Unless you have firewall rules, or disable IPv6 while using the VPN.
Interesting. It's notable that you read the exact same type of statements emphasizing masculinity when an article mentions a male who is a nurse, teacher, veterinarian, yoga instructor, social worker, or any of the other professions that are dominated by women.

Perhaps it's that, when someone does something slightly outside of the norm or expectation, that becomes a notable storyline or contextual reference.
> I really doubt this. I've been genotyped by 23andMe and the most interesting information I've seen from their health reports are a handful of disease probabilities and some fairly useless-to-me traits (like, for instance, a probabilistic view of my hair color).

This is about to change. The academic research going on is immense and GWAS studies coming in the 10 years will be characterizing everything - from your chance to develop cancer, to car crash or dropping out of school.

You need to be aware of what analyses of your data is being shown to you compared to what are possible and can be run in the background. It's a little bit like the Facebook telling things about you in ~2011 (your best friend is X) and then Cambridge Analytica pouring on it five years later to serve you ads that would best affect your voting pattern.
I have to admit that I have often disagreed with others over what textbooks are best, but I think that's natural.

For one, you often start a field with a specific book. If you pour a lot of time into that book, you often feel more attached to it. Then, when trying to evaluate another textbook, it's hard (impossible?) to go through that same experience and understand if you would have had an easier time with the material. There are definitely some obvious cases, but it isn't always.

Second, sometimes people just have different learning styles and have a preference for them. Landau and Lifshitz has a reputation for being very hard (but rewarding!) to parse, and that is easily a showstopper for some people. Other books might only have relatively easy exercises (Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right, for example), which can help you gain a lot of confidence, while others might have many very difficult or very tedious problems. Some might have solutions to problems, some might not.

Really, I think the best we can do is put a list of "top books" for each subject rather than the "best textbooks" for each subject.
I would think this author is on the fringe, as current society wants gender-equality, not gender-blindness.
>Russia actually got inside the voting systems of seven states, including 4 of the 5 largest states in terms of electoral votes—California (55) Texas (38) Florida (29) and Illinois (20).

And yet two of those states listed went for Hillary. Maybe the Russians didn't want to be obvious.

Author spends a lot of time on Georgia, with its "D" rated voting system and its 16 electoral votes.

>Georgia’s systems would have been an “ideal” target for Russian hackers because the state doesn’t use a system with a paper trail so there is no way to audit the system.

Let's accept that for the sake of my next question - would a paper trail actually help? Maybe, depending on who gets the paper. Does it mean the voter gets a receipt? That might cause a few problems of its own.

For instance, a group of well-armed people acting as a "voting integrity militia" might decide to inspect people's voting receipts for any "errors." One can only imagine how the article's writer would characterize that.

Now let's pretend some of all of the states admit their systems had been compromised. Should we trust the results of any election, or just the results we don't like? We can reasonably guess the author's answer to that question.
Do you mean you turn off IPv6, because it's easy for others to get lots of IPs and bypass a IP blacklist?

If so, that is a difference from IPv4. Don't block IPs, block subnets. Block the whole /64. It's what you were doing with IPv4 anyway - blocking a whole building / office / etc at once!

That's still no reason to turn IPv6 off in my humble opinion...

Where this discussion gets confused is that it fails to recognize that there are actually two different issues and two different kinds of articles at issue. To make the discussion neutral, instead of women in science let's talk about startups. There are many (but at least two) kinds of articles about startups. Ones that focus on the technology, and ones that focus on the "human interest" angle. There are articles about Tesla that focus on the limitations of cameras-only versus LIDAR. And there are articles about how Tesla is racing against much bigger and established competitors like Toyota and Volkswagen. The latter kind of article is not a diminution of Tesla's technology, but rather one that focuses on an entirely different sort of topic that might interest readers for different reasons.

There is nothing illegitimate about these human interest articles. Succeeding as a women in a male-dominated profession in fact presents real and unique challenges that merit writing about, just as succeeding as a startup in a field dominated by entrenched incumbents presents challenges worth writing about. Where articles about "X in science" get in trouble is that (1) people care a lot more about the human interest angle than about the science; and (2) journalists aren't up front about what kind of article they are writing, or are themselves confused about what kind of article they are writing.

"To be less obtuse, harassment is exactly free speech"

No, it is not. It is not free speech at all.

" No one has a right to not have their feelings hurt and trying to prevent that is a fools errand that can only end badly, usually in death."

Last I saw, those doing the harassing are usually the ones to try and kill others. See: PizzaGate. Further, you're basically saying that no one should be able to get by in life without being accosted by harassment, so we should give up and all be miserable.

"Every psychologist that treats patients knows you don't help people by making the world be nicer to them, you help them by teaching them to be stronger and more resilient."

And part of that treatment is having people constantly tell you that your children who were killed in a tragic assault were 'crisis actors' and that the whole thing didn't happen?

It may not crash, but google does not preserve backwards compatibility. I just spent 2 weeks doing a GPS system only to find out that it doesn't work on Android Oreo + and I had to totally rewrite it. You can call my GPS idea a bad one, but you can't say that google preserves backwards compatibility. Background services have changed drastically and your old code simply doesn't execute on new versions.
I'll explain what I mean about the semantics. Your original argument went thus:

> Per definition, if free will doesn't exist, then you can't say that "the illusion of the free will influences our lives more and in multiple ways."

By teasing apart your arguments, I now realise that you have bundled up the word "influence" into a package of meaning. You're presupposing "influence" to mean an agent consciously - and with free will - modifying their belief based on the environment. Same as what you mean by "shape our beliefs" just now. But I doubt OP was using the word "influence" that strongly; I think they were allowing for us to be machines without the free will necessary to "shape" their own beliefs. Therefore their point stands without the "endless loop".
There is now a whole generation of FE developers for whom "JavaScript" is synonymous with "JQuery", as evidenced by endless questions on StackOverflow which use the terms interchangeable.

Why write about women specifically unless your intention is to emphasize the accomplishments of their sex in the field? This sounds a lot like "write about women more, but don't say you're writing about someone because she's a woman."
Steve Reich’s Clapping Music aims to teach people how to perform a piece of contemporary music from the ground up:
http://clappingmusicapp.com/

[full disclosure] I developed this. We collaborated with London Sinfonietta Orchestra to get the pedagogy right.

We aimed to make a game that is both engaging and addictive, whilst also teaching real musical skill (in contrast to say Guitar Hero :o). The pedagogy and game mechanics did clash into each other during development, we did a lot of user testing to find a balance. Raph Koster's Theory of Fun for Game Design was invaluable, as were lectures and posts by Daniel Cook.

It's a hard game, especially for people with no musical background, but nonetheless we had strong engagement.

Players who topped the leaderboard after a few months were invited to perform at a live event. They were pretty good, but then I didn't see them perform before they played the game.

I’m not sure if I’d really trust any platform to store my personal documents without encrypting them myself before the upload.

But I’m always amazed at the pace at which Telegram keeps improving its feature set and UX. I haven’t experienced a messaging platform that’s anywhere close to it on these aspects. And for these reasons alone, it still remains my primary messaging application (while I keep checking the competition to see where they are).
But that's the wrong direction. Instead it should map to a file tree that you can explore with your native file explorer and text editor. The browser becomes a silo for your data, inaccessible by every other application.
Why are you so against the idea of some place where people can go to get a respite from the slings and arrows that are constantly assailed against them? Why do you feel that people should constantly have to be on guard against, say having racial slurs hurled at them every minute of every day?

This article is about how professional women are described, and it takes as a premise the fact that women are equals with respect to merit.

Given that, your comment seems off topic. No one is talking about whether women can hang in our industry. Is it necessary to derail this discussion by opening up that can of worms?

Many ambitious women want recognition, period, not to be asked about their clothes, husband, etc. Articles that focus on those things might get more views, which I think is the more interesting thing to discuss.

It is a justification. If newspapers were a public good, they could afford to write pieces that didn't necessarily land well with the public, but had more substance around the science.

While newspapers don't include the Kardashians in the war coverage, they DO include the Kardashians. War is very different from Science - it is straightforward, exciting to read about, and has an immediate human interest. Science is none of those things.

"I am also asking something you cannot answer, namely "why do they need facebook?""

Because they want to be on there. Maybe they have family on there. Whatever their reason, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

"That being said, you are coming off a bit aggressively. "

Because I am sooooooo tired of seeing people like you rush to blame the victim, in this case, put the blame on these people for still being on Facebook, rather than on the people that are actually doing the harassing, or Facebook for enabling it.

"Perhaps I'm reading you wrong, but I'm asking a honest question and you are (it seems) just calling me selfish and thoughtless."

And I really don't think you are. Why on earth should it matter at all if they do or do not have a concrete "need" to be on Facebook? Why is blaming the victim an acceptable tactic?

"Can you tell me please how you use facebook in your daily life personally and professionally? It may not have bearing on the greater discussion but I do want to know, as someone who hasn't used it in years."

I personally don't, but I'm not going to sit on my high horse and go, "You don't really need Facebook." when someone has a serious problem like these people do.

metric 600

if two routes to the same destination exist the kernel will (in general) use the one with the lower metric

proto kernel

this is where the route came from, for most end user hosts this will be kernel but if your box is running a dynamic routing protocol this might be something like "ospf", "bgp", etc; those protocols learn routes from neighbors and install them into the kernel routing table

this is information about the distance to the nexthop, in this case link means the nexthop is on the local network

Mueller appears to be a modern Torquemada. Should every politician be hounded by a nemesis of their own?

In the spirit of "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" -- politicians should be under constant surveillance and at risk of removal and punishment lest they always behave like angels.

Yes, I'm saying what it sounds like. The reason you should do that is because there's a sexism problem, and by talking about women without talking about them being women, we can normalise their presence.

Let me add: there's no point in saying "I didn't do it!" or "don't blame me!" or "don't blame men!" or whatever. Blame and guilt are pointless and sexism exists no matter whose fault it is. Fix the problem of sexism, forget the blame.
I agree, and I think there is definitely space and a need for "women in science" articles, because there are topics that are of particular interest for women in science. The issue that the author is pointing out is that it seems like when it comes to female scientists, it seems like every article about female scientists is written from this "women in science" perspective.

Doctors make mistake. Machine-based intelligences will make mistakes too.
