addressing your specific point (and note: ignoring the submitted article): I think everyone wants to think of themselves the way you want to define identity. It's a great model and I think of myself that way too.

However not everyone has the opportunity to be thought of that way by others. When you say "axis of oppression" well, that's a loaded term for an odious situation, but that odious situation really exists. Who you may choose to sleep with is none of my business unless 1 - one of us wants to go out with the other or 2 - you are a friend/colleague and get married or have some other life event for which I can be glad for you. That's not how the world actually works, so calligraphies attention to it helps those of us who are not (say) gay appreciate the difficulty others have and try not to make things worse (at least that's the hope).

The existence of oppression doesn't make you some sort of oppressor, but don't you want to have sympathy for your fellow humans? We are all at a disadvantage some of the time.

I"ve literally been on both sides: I was born in a country where I was legally of the wrong hereditary background. When I came to the US I was magically received as "a white guy". That's great: I get to define myself by ice cream preferences etc and I see nothing wrong with that. I notice I get a pass for certain screw ups and am taken more seriously than, say, my far more educated girlfriend. Do I wring my hands over it? Certainly not! But I do recognise that not everyone gets the same chance.
I open up bbc.com and I am immediately shown several ads. I have a banner ad for Geico shown across the top of the page.

BBC is made up of several entities and only some of them are publicly funded. Other parts, such as the BBC world news and several of the BBC’s online sites, are indeed for-profit companies that run ads [1]:

> Unlike the BBC's domestic channels, BBC World News is owned and operated by BBC Global News Ltd., part of the BBC's commercial group of companies, and is funded by subscription and advertising revenues, and not by the United Kingdom television licence.

And even the ones that are publicly funded still show ads to visitors from outside the UK [2]:

>We've introduced advertising to visitors outside of the UK because the new revenue created will allow us to further improve our journalism, our programmes and our website in the years ahead.

OpenStack vs. VMware: Bringing Costs Down
Travel has made me a better version. My worldview was so small before. After it, I've learned we are more of a global village than separate nations.
I think this is the key. As a kid, I remember family member of mine would routinely take their computer into friends at their company's IT department (their personal computer, mind you) because they felt less embarrassed asking a coworker for help than their kids. I try to make sure my parents don't feel awkward or embarrassed for asking me with tech help.
People traveling through the middle east and Israel often have two passports. One they show the israeli immigration officers, and the other they show elsewhere. Israel will interrogate when you show up on their borders with an stamp in your passport from on of the arabic states. It's just a way to get around this kind of hassle.
> How does a place that I'd expect to be filled to the brim with forward thinking techies even hire a person who thought this was a good idea?

If you spend 10 seconds on Blind you'll find the most out of touch thought processes with regard to race, religion and sexuality from employees at big Silicon Valley tech companies. Very different from the general population, not forward thinking.
Oh those nasty authoritarians! IMHO, that's a pretty narrow point of view, reminiscent of cold-war rhetoric. There's a 2016 documentary called Black Code [1] on the weaponization of the internet. While the documentary also focuses on "authoritarian" nations, their commentary was more insightful:

> it feels, I think to many, exotic and different and it couldn't happen here. And I think, in fact, what you're seeing in Syria is this is what happens when the risks get higher but the technology is the same.

In the U.K. you can get this easily if your primary passport must go to an embassy during a period in which you must travel for work, though it requires assistance from your employer in writing a letter confirming this. One would imagine France might have similar rules, though I don’t know if they do or not.
You can have however many passports the country wants to issue you.
As convenient as you may find it, that behavior seems really unexpected so I don't think that qualifies as a great example
That's an important comment and made me think that nobody here has mentioned climate change (where human lives are/will be affected, literally). There is an emerging movement toward low-carbon, low-tech, sustainable web design, but it's still very much fringe. To make it mainstream, we all need to work on coming up with better economic incentives.
There are udev rules to defeat this kind of thing, law enforcement use USB mouse jigglers to keep computers awake for example, these can be filtered out and ignored.
Whoever is downvoting the parent would you share why you feel they are wrong?

One example of US tyranny is that it has the highest incarceration rate in the world (https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-prison-populatio...). Other countries with high incarceration rates are developing countries, often with struggling democracies. Just one of many examples I can think of.
> At a different all-hands meeting, the entire policy team was separated into various rooms and told to participate in a “diversity exercise” that placed me in a group labeled “homos” while participants shouted out stereotypes such as “effeminate” and “promiscuous.” Colleagues of color were forced to join groups called “Asians” and “Brown people” in other rooms nearby.

I call that BS. It doesn't pass the Jussie Smollette test. The whole write-up reads really made up. There are a lot of things in there that are hard to believe. Google moved to the left in recent years more than ever, but this guys says that "Standing up ... for the LGBTQ community ... had cost me my career." Give me a break.
Russia uses Interpol to go after its critics like Bill Browder so I'm not sure how to take this. As someone with no dog in the fight, from everything I read it seemed like Japan turned against Ghosn because he made too many cuts to Nissan which was ran more like a government owned enterprise. Japan's judicial system also seems less than fair, especially to outsiders. I don't think anyone on either side of this story looks clean.
Everything is an art. Science is an art. Even "pure mathematics" can be artful and beautiful. There is beauty in all the miracle of the application of human creation, thought, and skill. There is beauty in process, in discovery, of discovery, etc.

And this is all so beautifully meta as well, because this too, is a philosophical statement.
I agree with your disagree. Work at a sustainable pace and if all your stories are slipping to the next sprint every time then you know you are underestimating. Likewise if you never slip you are overestimating. Forcing people to always finish each sprint will either burn out your team or cause estimates to be far too conservative leading to slower progress. That said, there are actual dead lines, where if you are late the software is useless and you are going to be returning a customer's money, or at best losing a customer's confidence. Those deadlines don't happen every two weeks.
As a Lebanese citizen, I believe that he only needed to show a Lebanese ID card to enter the country.
Shouldn't they have fences?

In the western US, you will find several remote military bases that include ground and air live-fire ranges that are un-fenced. There are usually signs though. (Some) military bases are very large, making it impractical to maintain complete fencing around them.

>And if there's no fence, isn't it just public land that it's OK to walk on?

What I never understand about these things is ... what actually does the drawing? The AI decides what the beetle looks like, at what level of abstraction? When/how does it go from beetle idea to pixels? Does this network "know" what the beetle's "leg" is, or does it just "know" "this pixel here should be this color"?

The more steps between you and the revenue the less you get paid based on the value you bring. Far away from the revenue, the value you bring just sets a wage ceiling.

You deserve exactly as much as what you can bargain for. Which could be $40,000 for 40 hours a week. You can be grateful for your current job and also look for better hours.

You should be proud of your current accomplishment. If your current situation is not working for you, you are allowed to work towards finding a better job.
In a city where the availability of land is a major limiting factor, you could argue that cars are the ones getting an "unfair advantage" - 8 square meters of city surface permanently dedicated to moving oneself around is clearly an inequitable use of space.

Justina's parents? Just awful.

OK, it's this sort of low-brow dismissal that causes me to actually dig through enough search engine BS to find the "reputable" take. [0] [1] So good job, I guess. I find in those two long articles nothing about the parents' behavior to be even suspect, let alone "awful", let alone worse than BCH. That is a totally unsupported garbage judgment, of the sort one might expect from a neurologist with 7 months of experience assigned to be the lead physician for a child diagnosed with chronic metabolic problems and acute intestinal distress. Oh, wait... that's what happened at BCH!

If the intention of the state of Massachusetts is to have fewer juvenile patients traveling from out of state for medical care, their policies are absolutely correct.

The difference is the right has never gain power in the media, academia, and based on a resent report showing a 75% left or far left leaning on Twitter, social media.

My concern is when the more hysterical stuff you’d find at protests (ie, Bush’s face overlaid on Hitler) starts leaking into more reputable sources and every person on the right is treated like a complete pariah... the right had always famously been the “silent majority”. The silent part is becoming a hard requirement these days which really concerns me.

All things should happen in the daylight and a complete intolerance, misrepresentation, and overreaction is what pushes them underground only worsens these radicalism and extremism which we should expunge from both sides by challenging it openly. Instead of one side having an unfiltered field day and monopoly on the media which treats them like villains non stop. Especially when the only option left is Fox News which is full of crazy bullshit (but compared to most traffic rates of major websites not really that popular among the average voter in the big picture).
This is only true in some countries. It’s not in the USA for example, which requires that even connecting passengers clear the US border and customs at their point of entry.
Beyond it being pretty fragile to have pre-commit hooks edit code, the problem is TODOs are usually very context sensitive. They are usually only understandable given the surrounding code and part of their benefit is they follow refactorings. Tickets wouldn't have that.
I think some countries allow you to have multiple so you can visit counties that are at odds with each other and having a stand from one would cause issues getting into the other.

> good luck programming this insane design with anything other than a high level language compiler.

That's been the RISC idea from day one. CISC ISAs were nice to the assembly programmer, RISC ISAs were nice to the C programmer and the hardware implementer. Do you know how to do integer multiplication on the MIPS? I'll tell you:

li $a0, 5
li $a1, 6
mult $a0, $a1
... do some other stuff here ...
mfhi $a2
mflo $v0

Why do you want to do other stuff? What's that mfhi and mflo stuff? Why is mult not three-operand? Because RISC! The MIPS model is so RISCy it exposes the fact its multiplication isn't single-cycle. It does this by making it somewhat asynchronous: You issue the multiplication opcode, and your code continues to run while the arithmetic is performed. If you try to get the result immediately, you'll stall the pipeline, so you were encouraged to schedule opcodes that don't rely on the result of the multiplication to run in that hazard.

In a CISC chip, that would have been handled by microcode, and you would have gotten nice three-operand multiplication opcodes which could even do memory-to-memory operations, like on the VAX. In a RISC chip, the compiler was assumed to have all the intelligence the microcode used to have, so you got simpler-and-supposedly-faster hardware with really funky assembly language behavior.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180404-00/?p=98...

TL;DR: Compared to the MIPS, RISC-V is a model of rationality and clarity.

My issue with VR has always been UX. I purchased an Oculus Touch a couple of years ago. When it works and I'm in-game it's utterly transporting. Truly a next-gen feeling. Everything else about it is an absolute nightmare. The software insists the headset is working fine while the headset is blank and displays an amber warning light. It requires you to have a computer monitor facing your VR area, which for me involves twisting my desktop screen completely around backwards. The slightest vibration throws the tracking cameras off forcing me to set up the entire play area again. Game downloads refuse to start for unknown reasons. Games designed for use with a traditional gamepad won't work with the Touch controllers and my gamepad won't work unless I pull the batteries from my Touch controllers and unpair them from my Rift. Oh, and my new glasses don't fit in the headset and they don't sell wider adapters.

VR is the future but its present will make you want to beat its developers with a tire iron.
Which is fair, but it seems like an org with the task of keeping the company from being evil would generate some friction with people seeking the shortest path to product (and therefore promotion).

That the work they do is unpopular doesn't imply the work they do is bad. I, personally, was always grudgingly respectful of the privacy auditing team, even if their suggestions could delay a project upwards of two quarters.

And he did all of that in a non-violent way, which makes the whole case about prosecution and jail (with guilt implied, as customary in Japan) absurd.
Any court system that assumes guilt is a bullshit one. The Japanese legal system seems to be designed to get people to admit guilt so the process ends quickly. That's a garbage-fire of a legal system.

The 2010s: A Bigger Foreign-Policy Mess Than Anyone Predicted
The problem with philosophy that irks so many over here mainly stays in the anglophone curricula these days, which prepare pupils analytically aka to function (get a job, be independent, start a family, pay taxes, buy goods) instead of continentally aka to live (grow a conscience, ask who you are, live for experience, avoid authority, exchange and reuse goods). Another point is that competitive societies do not rate aggregative unfruitful manners, which also shows in the borderly sociopathic attitude towards any kind of regulation.

> to decide early if the project is worth paying anyone to work on.

Yes, we know that’s what you think. We keep trying to explain to you that you’re living in a fantasy world where software development can be predicted accurately in significantly less time than it takes to just do the work. I understand why you WANT that to be true, but wanting something to be true doesn’t make it true, to the frustration of MBAs all over the world.
Solitary confinement is inhumane because they don’t enjoy it. We shouldn’t punish people just for breaking the law. They should catch and release like California. Nobody deserves to spend time behind bars being treated like an animal when they could be sleeping on the sidewalk in a tent using drugs and treated like an animal. California is much more progressive we don’t prosecute crime.
> Because from where I'm sitting, your narrative is universal against all politicians, and in fact democracy itself, since all political communications are just marketing to get elected.

Fair point. I personally welcomed the contribution. To me it just points to the fact the author may have an angle/objective not explicitly stated. There is nothing wrong with that. I don't see it as being against all politicians or even democracy itself. It is just about pointing out that there may be other factors influencing the author's decision. I'd be curious (if not suspicious) about anybody running for public office who does not have some kind of personal interest in addition to the desire to serve.

And also if it's important to someone to fix this, then extensions will be proposed for multi-precision arithmetic and constant time crypto primitives. RISC-V is an extensible architecture for this very reason.

Many countries make exceptions for middle east travel because many countries complicate things if you have a stamp from Israel. So for someone with ties in Lebanon but also doing big international business, a third country could easily rationalize issuing an additional passport so that neither Lebanon or Israel see each other's stamps.

Denial of service is also a type of attack.
Much closer to the latter. I haven’t read this yet, but it sounds like an encoder model.
Yeah, but they don't share 0 days like this, just like the NSA doesn't.
I register on more than one of those axes. You likely did not consider that, or if it did, you didn't factor in.

It isn't about sympathy, it is about looking at a person as more than the just the fill-in-the-blanks set of labels. People aren't just some combination of tick marks in the privileged-or-not checklist. Saying that someone who who chooses to view the world as more than that necessarily lacks sympathy is ... kind of crappy.

And yet here we see people (in the article, which is what we are discussing) reduced to just "homos" or "Brown people." People are more than that.
Or nothing at all. Usually countries can’t deny entry by their own citizens, as long as you can prove who you are.

They often do make it hard to get on the plane there though. But once you get to a port of entry, you’re fine.
I wanted to read the article, but Medium sucks too much.
That was a funny bit of honesty. You should have stuck with it till then end and tell it like it is: It doesn't work on slightly older devices. Or something like: You really notice things don't work when using a slightly older device.

Jokes aside, I cant seem to find data on the age distribution of interneted computers.
Your word of caution is important. For some projects it's not initially clear what the right data model and bounded contexts are. And for some projects it's just overhead.
But the converse is also true: for some projects/systems it turns out that it being events first is the _only_ way for it to work. I've encountered that the last few years with systems in logistics that show an integral view across parties.

The way we approached that is that we started with a standard system and refactored to event processing approach when the decomposition into bounded contexts was clear.

So in that sense it's similar to the right way of approaching microservices: start out with a 'monolith' that you split up.
