> There are email providers other than Google, and means of communication other than email. Encryption is also widely available for those motivated enough to use it.

One more point I’m concerned about is that Google is changing the standard of what is acceptable for an email provider, to read your emails and use them how they see fit. This is something people casually gloss over. Would you be equally as upset if UPS or FedEx looked inside your packages and then bombard you with adverts, or sell the data to someone else?
> “Feminists keep divorced dads from seeing their kids” was a favorite—it would seem as if I’d actually considered his perspective.

Except that feminism actively derides both the gender norms that say mothers are better caregivers and the US court system's bias against fathers in child custody rulings. There is literally decades of literature and other sources on these points.

A old, common talking point and accusation is that feminism is equivalent to female supremacy, and antifeminist groups recruit men who feel emasculated by women[1]:

> A second set of texts presents varieties of the contemporary masculinist response. Like its earlier incarnation, contemporary masculinist response is split between efforts to dislodge women's supremacy in the private sphere and support for men who are "wounded" in the struggle to exude an aura of masculinity in the public sphere.

> Men's challenges to women's perceived parental monopoly come from men's rights groups such as the Coalition for Free Men, Men's Rights International, and Men Achieving Liberation and Equality (MALE), as well as numerous fathers' support groups. These groups often deny that men have power in society, arguing that male supremacy is an illusion, along the lines of the illusion of the chauffeur: "he's dressed in the uniform and he looks like he's in the driver's seat," noted Warren Farrell, "but from his perspective someone else is giving the orders" (cited in Woldenberg 1986, p. 10). Masculinist texts claim that women and men are "equally oppressed" (Baumli 1986) and rail against perceived institutionalized female privileges, such as exemptions from the draft and advantages in alimony, child custody, and child support (Goldberg 1976; Haddad 1979). One critical review of these texts summarized their claims as follows:

> > Men, they say, are emotionally and sexually manipulated by women, forced into provider roles where they work themselves to death for their gold-digger wives, kept from equal participation and power in family life, and finally dumped by wives only to have courts and lawyers give all the property, money, and child custody to the women. (Messner 1986, p. 32)

> Software freedom is fundamentally valuable only for developers, because only developers can use the freedom it gives.

Substitute software freedom with open source and I'd agree. But software freedom is a whole other thing that is valuable to non-developers. Proprietary software can cost money, require subscription fees, make older versions no longer available, add all sorts of licensing costs like per CPU licenses, restrict features to "pro" versions, etc. Those are issues that affect people (and large companies) that will never read the source code.

Free software is about user freedom, OSS is just a means to that end.

School administrators are more alike than they are different. The proclivities of boys haven't changed much since I was one. I can't find anyone who will listen to me about the impending consequences of boys who were raised in a system with these and other biases.

Every system is perfectly designed to produce the result that it produces. So the question we might want to ask our selves is, "what is the system producing"?
In addition, many cities require new construction (both residential and commercial) to include a certain amount of parking.

While this makes some amount of sense, it also increases the cost , which is subsidized by everyone regardless of car ownership.
If you have the option of a Sudbury school nearby, you may want to look into that for your kids. The students and staff run the school jointly and students get down to the business of living life instead of doing bs work. Students are part of an accepting and just community which gives them all a compassionate and tempered view towards others. The price is giving up the gold stars (academic metrics of success) and simply accepting that a child has an inherent drive to find a successful path in life if given the opportunity to pursue it in a supportive environment.

The community as a whole is responsible for deciding on the rules and what to do when they are violated, including possible expulsion (student) / firing (staff) though, being a community, such things happen only as very last resorts. Everyone gets to tell their side of the story and the community decides as best it can with no one in a position of needing to do a knee-jerk response to cover themselves. Compassion and limits coexist.
I don't think "pay teachers more" is sufficient. It's one part of the solution, but the other part is "be at least a little bit hesitant to fire junior teachers". When I was in high school, pretty much all of my teachers under 40 were constantly on the verge of not having a job (due to constant budgetary inadequacies); they'd be repeatedly pink-slipped only to barely manage to keep their jobs another year. Naturally, the more "experienced" teachers with more tenure were less fearful of this.

Never mind that the younger teachers were almost always leaps and bounds more engaging, while the older teachers were far less engaging. Everyone liked the younger teachers more than the older teachers - everyone except the teachers' union, that is (this is, naturally, why I came out of high school believing labor unions to be outright detrimental to worker welfare, and why I still tend to be skeptical of them).

Naturally, in an environment where you're doing everything you can to not get laid off, you're going to end up being a lot more risk-averse (lest that layoff spontaneously turns into outright at-fault termination).

Frankly I'd settle for control of the hardware I paid good money for. Root access on my android devices. Full control over Windows Update without having to boot into Linux and rip DLLs straight out of the system folder.
Maybe so. I don't recall seeing his name, back in the day, but Wikipedia tells me that he's done lots that I would have agreed with. Biosphere2, for example, SF fan that I am. And that movie about Ronald Reagan. But the rest of it is batshit insane, like something out of Hunter Thompson. A right-wing Wavy Gravy.
The child wrote a false admission of guilt (apology for something he did not do). What kind of lesson do you think he learned from that?
But privacy advocates do it on behalf of everyone else

Even if some majority of users do not care about privacy i dont believe our most fruit bearing path is build w/less autonomy.

There is so much distance between how things need to be built and whether or not end users identify with some component of the system.
How does using rsync instead of scp help? Isn't the default behavior of rsync to use SSH for transport, just like ssh does? Thus you'd still rely on forwarding keys or another ssh authentication method.
What do you mean by right-wing? Does right-wing automatically mean something negative? It seems to me that to you right-wing means something bad. I don't have that kind of association.

To address your first point, I disagree it's a strawman. My personal opinion and what I'm arguing here is that yes, it is indeed an (unhealthy) obsession. I'm an expat. I lived outside my home country longer than I lived there. I bounced around Europe, Asia and US. I've never heard much Nazis except the constant coverage from US media that emerged in last few years.

I agree that comment was only tangential to the article. But every time someone says Nazis I raise my eyebrows and think "who are those Nazis they speak of"? I've only been to New York, DC, Bay Area and few other places in US and I've never seen a Nazi.

I'm happy to concede that what I've said was somewhat off-topic though.

To address your second point, while the bulk of the article talks about alt-right, Nazis and American History X are mentioned, and I think that makes discussing them fair game. Because this article does not exist in vacuum.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your downvote though.

I think I could substitute "obsessed" for "preoccupied" in the future :)
Not really. Abolitionists wanted an amendment because its harder to reverse than a simple law.

It's a very important difference between trusting Google with the data, and trusting a random advertiser.
There's still a lack of peace in some countries. The US should invade to slaughter the naughty people and anyone standing next to them in order to impose peace and prosperity in those places as well.

Writing good UI/UX and having your software have a vibrant set of open source contributors are usually opposing goals, similar to how you don't see a lot of microservice devops architectures sold as on-prem products. It's certainly possible, but it has to be a fundamental decision and makes a lot of things harder.

Someone might contribute a nice screen layout, but actual design of a user experience involves design, which is usually a process of intelligently deciding on limitations.

Slack and iTunes often get smacked around for their designs because they are kitchen sinks of features, which makes them bulky and non-intuitive.

Open Source communities tend toward this sort of kitchen sink by default. This is because people are contributing the features they want and need, not the ones which fit into your product plan. So you typically see the most success for software that is under an open source license but has limited or banned the ability for people to contribute.
I once saw a man get another man falling down drunk at a residential college (frat house equiv?) bar serving him water while being convincing it was 100% pure and tasteless alcohol from the chemistry lab. (De-ionised water, probably). Served from a conical glass beaker with hushed tones, "I don't want to get kicked out for this so don't tell anyone." The full con-job. They were and are friends and it was utterly hilarious. The drunk guy was not insulted nor upset in the aftermath and still tells the story.

Falling of the stool, uproariously laughing drunk. Someone else who was in on it (I wasn't, I was getting drunk for real on beer) produced an old Nintendo Game 'n watch where the water drunk guy got the top score of any of us. Apparently being drunk like this didn't affect his reaction time at all. No hangover, Immediately sobered up post-reveal and claims he felt totally drunk. (Then almost immediately drank a family sized rum or something - kids those days, sheesh).

It'd be great if you could get that enjoyable drunkeness feeling like so as easily as by pouring booze down your neck...

"Ladies and gentleman, pivot your startups, go!"

"We're the world leaders in getting neural nets drunk, then making them classify with a hangover..."

Yeah I'm sorry, hasn't been a great week...

Still let people use the old path system, even on new servers. This is an often-used trick to get around government censorship that will be destroyed with this change.
Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple:

- Anonymity vs non-anonymity: does a child have a right to know who their biological parent is? Is it ethical to donate, create offspring, and remain anonymous? Some family predispositions to certain health issues aren't fully understood (I didn't realize my family had a predisposition to dementia until just a couple years ago when my grandparents started nearing end of life), these genetic anomalies aren't always known at time of donation, and thus won't be handed over to the offspring. Another issue, some sperm banks send out cease and desists when the children attempt to track down the biological father. (Thanks 23andme!) Is it ethical for a sperm bank to threaten legal ramifications on people who attempt to contact their biological father?

- Age restrictions: We don't currently fully understand the effect of male age on creating children. Some studies suggest that there is a higher rate of autism, but this is only just now coming to light. Many sperm banks don't have much on age restrictions.

- Number of donor offspring: Is it ethical to allow numerous offspring from one sample? There are cases where a single male has fathered over 100 children, way way more than any normal male.

- Are sperm banks a form of eugenics? Sperm banks have differing policies on the acceptance of "Acceptable" sperm; e.g. certain height, low obesity propensity, college background, etc. If a sperm bank offers the top 1% genetic material, and people can pay to have elite genetic children, is this ethical?

Slack isn't equivalent to putting a chain across an existing river. It's equivalent to dredging a canal as an alternative to the river.

You might think people are foolish to pay to use the canal when they could use the river for free, but that's a different argument.
The suggestion is to use rsync rather than scp, not ssh (which as you rightly say is the default transport for rsync).

SCP is a protocol layered on SSH, and has had a spate of security flaws recently:

* Incorrect validation of the SCP client directory name (CVE-2018-20685)

* The SCP client did not receive the validation of the name of the received object (CVE-2019-6111)

* Counterfeit client SCP through object name (CVE-2019-6109)

* SCP Client spoofing using stderr (CVE-2019-6110)

And as of 8.0, OpenSSH recommends you no longer use SCP in favour of sftp or rsync, as per the security paragraph of https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.0:

> The scp protocol is outdated, inflexible and not readily fixed. We recommend the use of more modern protocols like sftp and rsync for file transfer instead.
Yea not a fan. Font rendering has always been hideous in Electron apps. Even with a 4k monitors it doesn't render like Mac native apps do. Simple things you take for granted in Sublime like it opening, typing speed, ui scaling correctly. Plus things like no sidebar customization (literally every other part of the editor is customizable). Icons in the editor are hideous.

Then issues like these

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/67288
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/67413

I question the people who use it and their attention to detail. If you zoom the editor all sort of issues start popping up. Stuff just shifting everywhere in the editor.
So yea I don't like it and will be using Sublime for a long while, or at least until someone figures out how to do text input in Electron apps.

That's what decriminalization means:

> In a federal country, acts may be decriminalized by one level of government while still subject to penalties levied by another; for example, possession of a decriminalized drug may still be subject to criminal charges by one level of government, but another may yet impose a monetary fine. This should be contrasted with legalization, which removes all or most legal detriments from a previously illegal act.

> People don’t want to lose their data, but having personal control over your data is a great way to lose it, or even to lose control over it.

I don't think "personal control" implies that nobody else has full access to one's data. If that were true then NDAs would be useless.

The idea of users "wanting control" simply means they want ubiquitous software to work like the best parts of ubiquitous social structures they've grown up with that aren't the internet.

That is: facilitate personal growth and self-expression in a framework where individual failures and oversights don't accumulate to create a goddamned international environmental hazard.

For example-- I'd bet there are a lot of Youtube posters who would love the following two features:

1. Painlessly upload videos that assert their opinionated world view at that moment in time.

2. Have people find it without plugging into a recommendation rabbit hole of contention that reframes their content as yet another rusty nail in a goddamned international environmental hazard.

> But if, as technologists, we can’t map functionality to desire, it’s a bit of a stretch to imagine everyone else will figure it out on the fly.

And one level above that-- if you don't have a legal framework where it's against the law to put cocaine in soft drinks then mapping functionality to desire will often be an unethical endeavor.

11-785 Introduction to Deep Learning
> My biggest concern is that we shouldn't do anything to teach people that sometimes they CAN trust the link text rather than needing to check the actual URL they end up at.

I don't believe that "copy link text to avoid tracking" is a relevant part here, so I still don't understand why you'd want to give the impression of a text-link with a different URL. I see lots of malicious reasons, but I don't see valid ones where there is a strong case that this is a necessity. Why should we teach users that "don't trust your lying eyes, just click on whatever" is ever a good idea? Why shouldn't we teach them to not touch something that is trying to deceive them? If we teach them to ignore these things, we're making it easier for scammers.

Sure, blocking links to domains that don't match the sender's may be something as well, but I do see lots of cases where that's totally normal, i.e. me sending you an email saying "hey, I read your blog entry, and this site here does what you want". Mind you, that's just a link, it's not a link that is trying to confuse you about it's true target.

> You do expose additional information about the user's clicks and IP address. If this is something your company is concerned with

If any company isn't concerned with that, they either don't do business in Europe or they should talk to a lawyer. ;)

> If you are trying to promote the use of first-party click tracking (or just discourage third-party click tracking)

Neither is my intent, I just don't see valid reasons to pretend you're linking to one URL when you're linking to another when there's an easy alternative: put words into the linktext, not URLs.

It's like FB's idea to pressure users into giving them their passwords for their email account. Terrible idea, no valid business case ("it's easy and we can really check that they are the owner of that email account" isn't valid), but lots of reasons for malicious actors, so somebody telling you "give me your email password" is a warning sign for everybody. Trying to confuse users about what URL you're linking to is as well.
This is atrocious web design. Not only is all of the content covered by an ad and a pop-up but when I tried to scroll I was redirected to opening an email by a still-loading pop-up.

I agree that China is horrible. There is one thing that separates China from the US though and that is that the US thinks the entire world should dance to its tune. The US will invade nations in distant continents, overthrow distant governments it doesn't like, kidnap people all over the world (extraordinary rendition), all while sitting on a horse so high it blocks out the sun.

China is a horrible state led by a despot, but it doesn't have a history of invading and killing anywhere beyond what it's historically claimed to be part of itself.

So to most of the world, the US has always been the greater threat.

It would only be for widely distributed scripts - not site-specific resources for that reason. Think things like jQuery, Angular, Vue.js and RxJS. This would be especially useful for heavier frameworks like Angular because browsers could then have the entire full-fat edition available in-cache so then smaller Angular sites could make use of more features without making their entire site a slow download.
