1. Probably because if you're very liberal and 100% of your peer group is very liberal, you will have a lot less chance to network with somebody non-liberal and thus less chance to hire such person. And if you never hire one, there would not be one in your organization.

2. Yes, presence of liberal viewpoints is certainly beneficial for conservative students. Presence of 100% liberal viewpoints and nothing else - not so much. That's the whole point of diversity - or should be - 100% of the same perspective is not as good as the mix of different ones.

3. They do. But then there are protests, huge security fees, demands to fire whatever administrator allowed the unperson to speak on campus, death threats, speakers cancelling out of fear for their physical security, property damage, hostile environment complaints against organizers, etc. etc. Swimming downstream is a lot easier than swimming upstream.

4. That depends on what you call "justice for women". As it happens in politics, people choose very appealing brands for their ideas, but the underlying reality may or may not be appealing. If "justice for women" means a woman accusing a man in sexual harassment leads to automatic expulsion of the accused man, on her words alone, no due process - is that something that the man would get behind? If "justice for women" means that since women have been discriminated in hiring in the past, now men should be discriminated instead, to achieve summarily just outcome - that would be a very controversial opinion. A lot of things can be called "justice for women", it all depends what is under the brand name.

CREDIT SCORE HACKER
Contacting Universal Hack9 was the smartest move I made to reboot my credit and increase my purchasing power. Because of him I was able to pay down my high interest debt, and erased 35% off my credit history due to mistakes made on credit bureaus behalf, then opened up two new credit cards paid off in 3 months, increased buying power 55% and have been building credit to purchase a home this fall. No regrets working with you. When I contacted Universal Hack, I had no credit, terrible score, and no light in my tunnel seemed possible. But after few weeks of contacting you, I now have 23 credit cards at the lowest rate possible and Universal Hack boosted my credit immediately. I now teach my children how to take care of credit, respect your credit score and respect your creditors. I only have three credit cards I use daily to continue to build credit. Universal hack has definitely heightened my score immensely. Thank you for a great program. Best money I have ever spent. Contact: UniversalHack9@ gmail . com

The ROE is stipulated in the contract if it’s not troop supplement or “combat advisory” the ROE will be very restrictive especially on the protection details contracts they are often not allowed to engage even at the clear signs of hostile action as long as it’s not targeted at them or US personnel.

As in they can witness a whole village being razed and wouldn’t be allowed to fire a single shot whilst a soldier would be compelled to engage and for the most part an order not to do so will likely be an illegal one.

It's gruesome, but I don't agree that desecration of bodies is evil. War is war. If the person is already dead, they do not feel anything. If they were killing and trying to kill your people, it's understandable. So it is disrespectful and gruesome, yes, but what more? I don't think it's a major issue at all. I don't care that SEALs are cruel to the bodies of combatants.

Killing civilians is entirely different, and that's extremely serious. Torturing innocent people is entirely different (though the SEALs were not directly involved in this to my knowledge).

Well there's a strong argument to be made that there are plenty of people making web applications for information that doesn't need to be a web app. For example: your generic company website does not need to be a SPA with every conceivable JS feature thrown in. You are only presenting me some information, HTML and CSS is more than adequate, stop making things more complex than they need to be.

In these case, I'm more than happy to break their stuff as it's seemingly the only way to get them to pay attention.

> Because most Chinese people are in abject poverty

About half of Chinese are peasants, for lack of a better term. Is that 'abject poverty?' They're living primitive lives. I think applying the term 'abject poverty' may be a little inappropriate. Many enjoy a good bit of property, autonomy and are not living drastically foreshortened lives.

> and shouldn't even be considered a part of the market where those houses lie ... should be normalized

Yes, analysis of China is frequently misleading due to the vast peasant population. Unfortunately attempts to correct for this run into a very serious problem; the US CO2 per-capita figure ceases to be a multiple of China for hundreds of millions of Chinese. A highly undesirable result for a number of reasons.

So don't expect that sort of analysis to become a thing any time soon.

> I don't buy that speculation. Until 1998 (the year Google was founded), a majority of Americans disapproved of interracial marriages. If you think they were like "yeah, blacks marrying whites gives me the heebie-jeebies" but were nonetheless free of discriminatory mentalities when it came to hiring, promotions, etc., I don't know what to tell you.

I was quite clear that I don't believe discriminatory mentalities disappeared, but if you think that discriminatory hiring practices _didn't drop precipitously_ in the '60s-80s, I don't know what to tell _you_.

Anyway, I don't know where you're getting that 1998 figure, but Gallup[0] says the last time a majority of Americans disapproved of interracial marriages was 1978 (two decades earlier than your citation) and more Americans approved than disapproved sometime around 1988 (Pew also agrees with this figure [1][2]) (note that there are 3 categories--approve, disapprove, and no opinion).

> External forces have impacts on marriage rates: people are more likely to put off marriage if they are financially insecure, incarceration breaks up marriages, etc. Unless you're positing that black people just want to be married less than white people (which is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary proof), the cause must be external.

First of all, being financially insecure isn't an external force, it's a state--specifically it's the state we're trying to approximate. So if you're going to justify household incomes as an indicator of financial security, then it doesn't make sense to argue that it depends on financial security. It's simply a bad metric and you should find another one to argue your case.

> Skin color is not a "proxy" for lived experience. It's a determinant of lived experience in a country that treats you differently based on your skin color, independently of your socioeconomic status.

I'm sure it's a determinant for some kinds of experiences, but that doesn't tell us

1) how well race predicts those experiences

2) what percentage of total human experiences are predicted by race

3) how significant these experiences are compared to other kinds of human experiences (for example, do you really want to argue that Asian Americans whose ancestors have lived in the U.S. for 8 generations have more in common with first generation Asian Americans than with 8th generation white or black Americans?)

4) whether the predictive power holds true as true for minority Harvard candidates as it does for minority Americans generally

So I say again, the notion that racial diversity will produce a meaningful diversity of experiences for Harvard's student body is _at best_ an extraordinary claim that requires extroardinary proof.

That is weird behavior. Here's an issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/52778
As pronoiac has already said, libssh != OpenSSH, which is far more widely used. According to the footer on https://www.libssh.org/, projects using LibSSH include KDE's sftp implementation, X2Go, and... GitHub: "GitHub uses libssh in production to power its git SSH infrastructure, serving millions of requests daily." If the footer text is still accurate, that's probably the most concerning potential issue with this vuln, although it's also possible GitHub has mitigated this risk in other ways. It would be nice to see GitHub publish something about this, one way or the other.

Update: they recently tweeted confirming they were not at risk, https://twitter.com/GitHubSecurity/status/105231733337972326...

>I have been, twice, once with overwhelming evidence and once where the perpetrator openly admitted the offense, where the police wouldn't even send someone out, much less pursue the case.

Now I see why you’re so bitter. Still others shouldn’t have to face the same fate as you. Did you take your own advice and file a civil suit? If not why, is that a shitty solution also? You didn’t care about the damages so much as being the victim of a crime?

For someone talking about the structure of the legal system though...you have great talking points (that’s not police job; they don’t get paid to solve crimes; that’s your loss not society’s problem, you want to subsidize civil litigation costs). And just like a politician you gloss over everyone else’s point and maintain it’s not for the criminal court...but why then, do criminal courts have power to order restitution? Should the criminal court say sorry...that’s not the legal structure now go see a civil lawyer? Seems to me it’s built into the system for criminal courts to order restitution (which they exercise in every plea I’ve ever seen) and it’s cheaper for the taxpayer to have global resolutions in criminal court (of course that’s well known though) rather than having tax payers pay for both a criminal and civil case.

> Also, a centralized messenger with a single server means that all traffic between all the users around the world goes through one data-center in one country that can do what? Observe the traffic and detect who is using this messenger, at least their IP address and country.

I mean, yes, a single server would have that property. But what system are we discussing that has a single server in a single data center?

Furthermore: if you actually care about metadata hiding it's a lot more complicated than "we have more than one person operating the servers".

Between Cygnus/Red Hat and Mozilla, I've worked for open-source-based companies for 7 years of my career, and never once heard or believed "open source" in lowercase to mean "OSI-approved."

I appreciate what OSI does, and do value an OSI review and endorsement, but you're seriously reaching here and trying to double-down on it.

Edit:

To be clear, I think the OSD captures what open source is, but OP tried to say "We haven't reviewed it, so it's not open source," not "We haven't reviewed it, so WE don't know it's still open source." Whether or not and when OSI gets around to reviewing something has zero bearing on whether something meets the OSD, even if we are going to assume that's the de facto definition.

I find the idea the VP thinks we need to wait on them to deliver their judgment from on high to be, frankly, offensive. OSI didn't successfully get the trademark on "open source" for a reason, and I can read a license myself.
> Is the point here that the particular mercs are ex-US Army soldiers?

of course not. it's pretty straightforward. the point is that these were assassinations. We're comfortable with mercs doing things like "defend a convoy", "defend a target", "eliminate all hostiles in an area", etc.

that's a FAR cry from "make this man die. we won't say why, but here's the address of his mosque, and if you want to blow up his whole workplace, that's fine."

A Farewell to Email
Not only are there very, very few Seals, an even smaller fraction of them have ever actually done anything like this. Also Green Berets are way more towards 'Army' than anything like this.

The US forces do not run around knocking off people like this very often.

Now I don't have hyper specific insight, but I'll bet $1000 that not even Seals do 'explosive based drive-by assassinations' either. Because it's just not in the playbook.

Regular forces, Green Berets, Rangers etc. have nothing to do with this kind of stuff.

I have military experience, though not American, and I don't keep up with it.
Good, I see nothing wrong with this. SOX compliance already has some tight controls on the IT side of things anyway, and maybe this will stop or limit future breaches like that of Equifax or Target.
This looks like an interesting paper. I'll read in over in detail, but from the abstract this paper is discussing the suppression of fire after Euro-American settlement in the 1800's. Fires caused by Native Americans is discussed as the cause, along with lightning, and I don't think lightning is a big factor in (Northern) California wildfires. While lighting is a major cause of fire throughout the Rocky Mountains, they are less of a factor in California, especially along the coast and central valley. I have lived in Oakland for over two decades and the number of thunderstorms I've seen/heard here is less than a half-dozen.

We don't get the same kind of bad lightning storms that occur in the Rockies where the monsoons bring up thunderstorms from the south during otherwise dry summers. Maybe in the San Bernardino mountains near LA get a few of these summer lightening storms.

It would be interesting to read about pre-human fire occurrence rates in the grasslands of California but, as this study states, preserved evidence of grass fires more than 15,000 years ago are rare.
Can somebody share this?
Ok so they coined it but if they wanted to police who used the term they should have trademarked it and sued everyone who used it without their approval. Of course they wouldn't get very far with that strategy, but then they shouldn't expect to eat that cake.
The US military has plenty of professionals for this kind of thing. The grey area here is other countries hiring US civilians, particularly when they're notionally inducted into the other country's armed forces (= no longer civilians) and the murder happens in a theater of war.
You are conflating real world policy execution with values. Substance can't be mapped onto reality without prioritizing values and deciding accordingly. The belief of individual liberty is shared throughout America, its real world execution will vary depending on the value system of the population in question. We have the same belief, but disagree about how to get there.

I think you're sort of on the right track about values being root goals. Values come first, then we execute policy based on those values. One goal may come at the expense of another. And some lefties might not even recognize a trade off if statistically they don't value something that conservatives value very highly. Or vice versa.

Your last point is in alignment with everything I've said before. We have the same over arching goal (happiness), we just disagree about how to get there. The two paths to the goal are mutually incompatible, not the goal itself. The path is what is in question and conflict, not the goal. This is why it is so important that the path is discussed honestly and openly. Good intentions do not automatically lead to good outcomes, and if we as a society choose the wrong path we are f*. So to bring it full circle, this is EXACTLY why we need more conservatives on campus: to discuss the other paths and evaluate them objectively so that the best path may win.

There's no issue here. The whole point of OSS is that anyone can use it. Cloud vendors are providing managed services because that's what their customers demand, and the value isn't in the software itself but the managed part of it all.

Any other company (like Compose) can do the same thing and there are several hundred vendors offering various options. MongoDB Atlas is entirely this, and seems to be doing well by leveraging their own expertise and moving faster than the others.

If MongoDB now wants to change the license then they're free to do so, but they'll face the consequences of becoming more proprietary with their offering. It may help or it may hurt, but there's not some big universal argument to be made. If you don't want to make and give away free stuff, then don't. The rest of the world will still manage just fine.
