Unions are one way. Guilds are another.

For people who are supposedly so highly paid the majority of my peers can't afford children. The rent of a two bedroom flat/house and the price of daycare means the household needs to earn close to $600,000/y for two children. That's maybe the top 10% in most companies. If a class in society can't afford to reproduce itself it is underpaid regardless of how many trinkets it can afford compared to the median.
The key word being supposedly. None of these "liberal" corporations have been left-liberal in terms of workers' rights or well-being. They want a rainbow of representation among the top-10% stratum of elite professionals to whom they pay enough to not need food stamps.

>the hints of "violence in exchange for a dissenting opinion"

I couldn't agree more. I've seen both actual violence and extreme glorification of violence against people of the opposite political affiliation more and more over the past couple years. Many people seem to dismiss the calls to violence as "trolls", which is actually probably true, but I have to wonder if there is much of a difference between a troll who calls for violence and loves to see people get attacked at rallies, and a person who would actually be happy about these things if they became worse than they are now. I feel like there used to be a solid distinction, but I'm not sure any longer that there's really a hard line between all "trolls" and people who would actually enact these things, given the power (and given no significant threat to themselves, of course).
I do see this difference. However, in practice communism and faschism are pretty much two sides of the same coin. One has specific victims (though like communism, none stated, but there is always the out-group, I mean, you see Black African nazi sympathizers in Africa) communism also has an out-group: whether it be the owner-class or people who get in the way of their ideology.

By the time you're dealing with a bail bondsman, you're already in jail, and a judge has likely decided not to release you of your own recognizance. The question is whether or not you have to stay there until trial.

This is not the first time I've seen somebody attempt to align this quote with groups that sympathize with other neo-nazi sympathizers (I mean, knowingly or not). If this group is allying themselves with Alex Jones, then I would hesitate attributing this quote to their cause.

This quote was explicitly about the nazis. [Utilizing it this way] It seems to do Niemöller a disservice, IMO.

I sympathize with people are shut out of civil conversation just for holding views on the other side of the spectrum— that shouldn't happen. Allying with Jones was either a crucial mistake for optics here, or outs the real beliefs inherent—that they're not just wanting to discuss conservative policy.

Banning Alex Jones from FB being a core piece of evidence that somehow FB is anti-conservative doesn't sound to me like concern over civil conversation. Jones was banned for inciting violence against innocent parties amongst other things.
If you send me a bill for anything over $100,000, you might as well send me a bill for $10 trillion. It doesn't matter, I can't pay. I'm bankrupt now. Great, you get my house and my retirement savings.

The point of insurance is to prevent that from happening. I pay a small amount so that if I get unlucky, I'm not ruined. I don't care if "oh the bill was actually much higher before" because the number never mattered- me being ruined is what mattered. If I still am, then the insurance did not do what I wanted it to do.
I'm from the Midwest and I now live in New York. My heating costs are significantly less than my A/C costs. My energy bills increase dramatically in the summer. Is my usage not typical? Or are there "hidden" costs I'm not considering?

We use CodeMirror for our 8-bit retrodev IDE, and have been pretty happy with it: http://8bitworkshop.com/v3.1.0/?=&file=examples%2Fbrickgame&...

We haven't even scratched the surface with customization beyond adding some more editing modes (fortunately a Z80 mode is already part of the release!) and doing custom gutters and line widgets.

There haven't been very many surprises, notably a performance issue with forced reflow when gutters are overwritten (solution: don't do that) and some vertical div sizing problems, which shows how difficult this kind of project is to do right. Performance has always been stellar, though, even on an underpowered Chromebook.

+1 to Typescript, we've also been converting our IDE over to it :)

Your passport is checked when you leave the U.S. It’s done electronically though, so if your passport is clear you don’t even notice it when you leave (unlike say the exit Visa stamp you get in Schegen countries). If your passport comes back flagged when you’re leaving the U.S. the FBI or Marshall’s or whoever can apprehend you.
Sure we do. Movers, bank tellers, and many other occupantions with high risk to the client/employer require surety bonds. Ever seen “licensed, bonded, and insured” on a contractor truck?

Offloading risk to a firm specialized in managing it is precisely the point. The criminal justice system is just one instance - it’s a long lived and widespread form of insurance.

In NY, in the Brownsville, BK area, 93 of every 100 residents was stopped by the NYPD under its stop and frisk policy in 2009. In 2011, the NYPD has more black male stop-and-frisks than there are black males living in NYC. That’s not a perception of disproportionate attention from the police, that’s an overbearing presence one must objectively acknowledge in ones life.

When -those- are your daily experiences with the police, the fact that non-violent, un-resisting black males are killed by the police without repercussion in your city (see: Eric Garner) is terrifying, even if the absolute risk of your being shot by an officer is low.
When I was 12 (late 70s, Australia) I rode my bike all over the place. Rode to and from school, about 25 minutes each way. And through the forest at the edge of town -- we'd disappear for hours there, riding as far as the next town (1 hour downhill :-)

We knew where the dodgy guy hung out near the public toilets in the park, and avoided him (the teacher at school was a different matter).

I think ... people were less alienated from society then. It seems different now.
> I will respect and/or tolerate them because they are human and a colleague.

Congrats, you just passed every tolerance course ever, and all without bringing politics into it.

While you may be high minded and professional, not all workplaces are, and it's fine for the company owners to ask that employees keep a professional environment around everyone -- including people that may make some feel uncomfortable.

> a company telling workers personal sexual lives of their colleagues is a basis for tolerance or intolerance

It's weird that you jump right to sex. Being gay is about a lot more than sex.

It's disingenuous to call this certificate forgery.

Facebook, unlike many services, has the luxury of not having to worry about backwards-incompatible changes and data migration when it comes to their user-facing experience since that's not where their money comes from. I doubt this problem was intentional, and is probably being fixed, but seems characteristic of an engineering culture that can afford to be apathetic towards such concerns, if not downright contemptuous (i.e. A/B testing user psychological/emotional state thru content manipulation).

It is fine and good to be disrespectful towards skinheads at work, on the bus, or anywhere else. It is not fine or good to be respectful towards skinheads. Someone who wishes violence against a class of people based on their race does not have a place in a well-functioning society for these beliefs to be openly tolerated and accepted.

> Get dangerous people -- perhaps with little to lose if they are already facing serious charges -- off the street faster

How does bail achieve that? If they are too dangerous to release, then it's no bail. If they are possibly dangerous, you're letting a financially motivated (exploitative) or ignorant entity decide who gets out of jail...be it a financial institution or the mob or family, but only if you come from a background which has finances to leverage. It's an effective tax on the poor innocent and guilty alike.
In addition to the violence aspect, there's also total power asymmetry in bigoteering. Calling someone a Nazi, a white supremacist, a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a transphobe, a cultural appropriator, whatever other trendy moral shortcoming du jour, with no need for supporting evidence whatsoever, has no downside to the accuser. Accuse away. You're doing a service to society.

The entirety of the burden is always on the accused.
It might just take a few more decisions like this from the social media incumbants before alternative social media structures (federated or distributed) actually make sense for the masses...
There are 13 Muslim-majority countries where apostasy is punishable by death, including Malaysia, Iran, Nigeria, the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Pakistan only imposes the death sentence for blasphemy.

The UK has many sharia courts which act as marriage and divorce authorities, where women often have far fewer rights than men. (This sounds hysterical and far-right-ish, but it’s true)

I’ve heard horror stories of ex-Muslims in the US who were kidnapped and physically abused by their family when they tried to leave Islam.

Between mass-rape attacks in Germany, the many, many grooming gangs in the UK, and the latest sexual assault statistics from Sweden, I think it’s fair to take a skeptical eye towards mainstream Islamic male culture. Moderate and reformist Muslims in the West, for context, comprise a small majority of the faithful.

The Christian and Jewish faiths have reformed and lightened up with the liberalization of Western society. I think it’s fair to expect and allow adherents to the Islamic faith to walk a similar path.

EDIT: And for the record, I get along great with my Muslim co-workers. Please stop moving goalposts; to reiterate, your premise was that criticism of Islam's human rights record is driven by deep-rooted white supremacy.

One could. One would have to forego any claim to "absolute freedom of speech," however.

wow....that is pretty interesting. how do you write your own fuzzer, seems like that's where the edge comes from? How much more of an effort is it to write an exploit? Is it necessary to build a Proof of Concept or is simply disclosing the vulnerability enough?

If I buy ADA what software/API can I start tinkering with?

What you described seems like so much fun but scared of the writing exploit part. Now that seems really hard especially considering it needs to be fully undetectable for a long time until the buyer gets their return on investment.

Is there a course or resource I can use to begin this path?

I love love poking around with things to see how they work....basically the chase or the process is what I enjoy most and curious to know more.

>The Overton Window has changed for sure, but that's what it does. I struggle to think of any perspective that has moved out of the Overton Window over the past 10 years that I regret losing.

Honestly, I want the Overton Window to be consistent with what people actually do in real life. I've begun to grow uncomfortable with a political environment in which we all need to hash-tag #AbolishICE, when we all know that the actual abolition of the American border is outside the Overton Window for the solid reasons that nobody has come up with a plan to do it, including the people leading the hash-tag campaigns.

If we are to have an Overton Window, I want it to be the same one for rhetoric, actions, and policies. I don't want this world we're getting where we all mouth extremist rhetoric and then pass mild reformist touch-ups to the status quo.

Sure, there's plenty of violence in the world. I am opposed to most forms of it.

But no, there is no equivocation here. One of these things (Neo-Nazism) is fundamentally incompatible, even just on the linguistic level, with my existence. The other (Communism) is undesirable and even reprehensible, but doesn't threaten the mode of discourse itself.

Put another way: proposing tolerance towards analytically intolerant ideas amounts to an "disagreement" between a linguistic claim and a claim about the language itself. I wrote about the danger of viewing these as normal "disagreements" about a week ago[1].

Gays are humans they have human rights not gay rights its this idea thats gays are somehow more worthy of our support than say a conservative at a liberal workplace thats the crux of the problem.
