Ofcourse speech has consequences. But where is the line between critique or disagreement and hate speech? Right now more and more critique/disagreement = hate speach, especialy for those who can't deal with arguments or objective, inconvenient facts about reality.

It is not acceptable to have your client crash due to server-side stuff going on. When the server is faulty the client must handle that gracefully, like disabling the functionality or displaying a message about what is wrong if no further use is possible due to the error.
> Second to that, as you saw in the previous half of the year. A lot of living essentials are made almost solely in China. Would US elites be ready to deal with angry unwashed masses who, with some help, and incitement, would go torch their houses because they can't get not only their new Iphone, but basic medicines, clothing, car parts, basic household goods, widgets for their businesses, and such?

I don't think it'd play out like that. It's been a few generations, but Americans have experience with wartime rationing that was far more extreme. They didn't riot and demand a peace treaty with Hilter and Tojo, so they could could get the consumer goods they had been used to having.

I probably should have said "broadly", I guess. But I still don't see how that differs from the union folks, who used an internal messaging system to notify other employees about their rights.

Again, I can't help but think what you people really want is the inalienable right, not to "free speech", but to be Offensive Without Consequence. And again, Damore is a genuine celebrity now, he's a very bad example of the kind of repressive woke hegemony you're invoking.

There are people who believe that the earth is flat. They're wrong. They're entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't mean that their opinion isn't objectively, demonstrably wrong.

Is canceling someone denying their right to exist? Hounding someone online and coercing their employers to fire them seems a lot more harmful than critical speech. And don't forget, that cancelled person's name will forever be associated with the controversy, making it very likely that person will also have a major barrier when trying to participate in society.
Ordinary users hate change. They always do, regardless of how successful (or not) the changes are later judged to be.

Of course you can discuss the topics. But you aren't discussing the topic if you are just dismiss someones feelings because you don't feel the same way and can't understand how someone could.

>Simply because they don't believe transwomen are women

"Simply".. really? And before too long ago people "simply" didn't believe that a man could be attracted to another man.

It's ok to discuss the topic, but how can you expect to not sound like a complete bigot if your premise boils down to "I don't believe how you feel"

>It's identity politics and this push of feelings and individual's 'truth' over actual reality and data

That makes no sense. A man telling you "I feel way more like a woman" is not putting feelings over reality/data. It's introducing you to data that you never knew existed. Mostly because the presumption has always been that gender is completely binary; but it's just not that simple. The amount of gay/transgender/asexual people should be all the evidence you need.

If I have every reason to be "happy" (like infinite money, not a care in the world), but I tell you "I'm sad.".. is that also putting reality/data over an individuals feelings? Of course not- I'm the only one who can tell you what I feel, even if it may sound irrational. The same is true about transgender; that is simply what they feel.

>How can we fix the problems if we can't even acknowledge what is real?

You can start by acknowledging how people feel, even if you can't understand it yourself.

It goes beyond that. Overwatch is now mainly use to train the machine learning algorithm and confirm cases. The whole VACnet thing is automated and cheaters are now either automatically banned or put in a separate queue so they play against each other until the system (or a human) confirms they are indeed cheating.

Same goes for griefers and ragers, they're assigned a low "Trust Factor" so that they play together, leaving other more serious players play together.
I would hate to shoulder a firearm wearing a modern sport coat.

Keyboardio Atreus Review
I think a lot of people here have missed the point.

Social media has made it far easier to display your values to other people. Rather than led to diversity, it has massively consolidated the range of "acceptable" opinions to a serious of slogans and "approved" ideas that everyone must agree with.

And btw, I don't think actual values have changed. But what has happened is that we have a very vocal and determined minority that feels the need to judge other people who disagree with them.

That is the point of the Village. Everything you do is controlled by social pressure. To give an example, where I am the police now spend a lot of time on social media prosecuting because it is so easy to build a case. Social media is the avenue for this control.

Just personally, I was never the biggest fan of social media. I thought Facebook was a conspiracy to steal my personal data in 2008. But I did use Twitter to build a business a few years later. I would never do this again. You are just exposed to far too many idiots. This was true back in 2011 when I was using it, it is doubly true today. Social media encourages idiots to have an opinion about things they don't understand.
This is driving the problem if you're literally quoting blatantly 'anti-white' statements and then wondering where the 'anti-white' sentiment is.

This language is certainly within the threshold of civility, he should be able to say such things without being 'cancelled' , but it's obviously 'anti white' and casually racist. He's antagonising to make a name for himself. This is the equivalent of Trump's 'Whuan Virus' rhetoric.
Some sources of excess deaths:

1) In Wuhan, when the primary care taker(s) of a child or a disabled or elderly person suddenly become hospitalized and there's no opportunity to arrange backup care, there were many stories of when dependent is found deceased later.

2) Sometimes, a month or two after someone 'fully recovers' from Covid-19, they experience a blood clot. If that clot results in a stroke or heart attack...

3) Sometimes a Covid-19 survivor has organ damage significant enough to be on a transplant list. Due to fewer car accidents, the organ supply isn't what it used to be in the BC era...
> UBI advocates very often do things like [play games with numbers to make a point]

Which is EXACTLY why the kind of data we're deriving now, based on real world policymaking, and as described in the linked article, is so important. It's impossible to refute with more funny numbers.

> If the argument for how affordable UBI is hangs on this kind of logic

It doesn't! That's the amazing thing. You guys need an entirely new kind of spin, now.

They don't mention that so few people have served in the military these days.

Wearing hats could have easily been more popular because so many more men were veterans back in the days after WWI and WWII. They would have been used to wearing hats after being in the service. The time hats started dropping off in popularity also correlates with the rise of the anti-war movement brought on by the Vietnam war.

Also in the 1960s the Catholic Church stopped requiring women to wear hats in church.
It links to primary sources on everything, so this seems to me more a distraction than a meaningful critique. The fact that this is all easily verifiable, yet hard to find compilations of, is a critique in the other direction.
Zero to Sold – How to Start, Run, and Sell a Bootstrapped Business
That's the problem though: the "let them eat cake" attitude that thinks that child labor in the developing world is driven by agency instead of resource constraints, and that the poorest children in the world would go be architects or engineers if only they weren't forced to work in sweatshops.

India's landmark child labor law passed in the 80s is a dramatic, tragic example of policy effects on this margin (though not driven by the same privileged ignorance as the Nike incident). When the law was passed, it lowered the welfare of the affected children and their families on pretty much every relevant metric: calories consumed, years of schooling, mortality, income/wealth, etc. The most stubborn advocate of ignoring the holistic consequences of policy might say it was all worth it, but the most damning thing is that _it increased hours of child labor per household_, coming largely from reduced time in school. Cracking down on child labor employers reduced demand for child labor, which reduced wages. But the problem is that labor supply was inelastic, where the choice was between child labor and starvation. The upshot was that children ended up working more for less money, a tragic lose-lose of a policy responsible for immense human suffering.

This isn't an argument for sweatshops per se; it's entirely possible that one can do the legwork and realize that the actual effect of a seemingly good policy is horribly negative. It's an argument that judging policies on how they affect your privileged sensibilities instead of what they do to the people they affect is despicable. Transmuting suffering in sweatshops to much worse suffering from starvation simply because the latter is easier to deny responsibility for is disgusting, but unfortunately the average person doesn't have the moral reasoning ability to understand this.

Nothing saddens me more than this trend of the modern web where everything works semi-probabilistically (even if it's likely for "good" technical reasons, such as, "we wrote our server backend in Ruby which is slow as molasses so now we need 230 CDN and 800 databases instances around the whole world and transformed our simple centralized problem into an horrendous decentralized one).

The central reason for me to use computers is that they are (or at least were) deterministic to a much higher degree that normal life, and so many things in the 10 last years becoming much more non-deterministic in particular on social websites is something that frustrates me every single day as it just makes the whole experience and process of using computers & the web very unreliable compared to what it used to be.
That quote came from a person who bought the fake paintings, so take it with a grain of salt. It sounds like they're deflecting questions about their credentials to sell art.
> that increased exposure to any porn has effects on attitude

What does your research say about the fixation of that attitude? Is it like, forever and ever? How those effects compare to watching martial arts, war footage from the news, movies etc?

Isn't it just a Pavlovian response training thing? Before the age of 25 people are more susceptible to learn or relearn, and some are just born (and exacerbated by insane upbringing instead of proper diagnosis and meds) with predilections.

> but the effects are more pronounced with violent porn

Sure, and if they had a fist fight behind a school, a kiss, a cigarette, a caffeinated drink and listened to violent music in a short time they'd probably had a heart attack.

Your conclusion reminds of witch-hunt-approving arguments like, violent games make kids violent. Which is moot, Take for example Children's Crusades[1] in 13 century, which was induced by religion and politics. Or, I know some parents who watched a documentary about how a talented musician was raised with beatings, so they took that literally, you know what I mean? Sick ideas find a fertile ground.

Btw did you watch that Black Mirror episode "Arkangel", seems related. Or The Alienist by Caleb Carr, the book and series, about underage male prostitution in 19 century, the plot is based on real life, sort of.

Trump transferred to Wharton after two years at Fordham. Fred Trump was a NYC real estate developer with no connection to either school; successful in his world of outerborough residential developments, sure, but an utter nonentity outside it.

George W. Bush was a longtime legacy at Yale, yes, but he performed about as well as Kerry did at Yale and Gore did at Harvard. With no family connections to Harvard he applied to HBS without telling his father, who had by then served as a one-term Texas congressman and UN ambassador, and was serving as the head of the Republican National Committee. To show how little "pull" the Bush name had despite all that, Bush was turned down by the University of Texas law school before getting in at HBS.

I suppose it's not an ironclad refutation of the idea, but I think it does suggest minimum wage isn't the magic bullet one might hope. If it doesn't work for a poor country, you had better be able to explain very convincingly why it will work for a rich one, and not turn it into a poor one instead. And also explain, why the techniques used to go from a poor country to a rich one... must then be abandoned at some point.
There are much evidences that gender dysphoria may be rooted in biology. Transgender people don't choose to be one, for the fun of being ostracized and higher suicide rate.

BLM: it is proven by various metrics (economic, medical statistics etc.) that the Black Americans are being left behind because of SYSTEMIC racism. A radical change is necessary to address that, and people who want status quo wants 1. to deny that it exists 2. to resist the movement.

The "reality" changes everyday. The "truth" is not constant, because we don't know everything. So "terrified" that you may be wrong just may mean that you are clinging to the old "truth" and unwilling to change.

(Btw? It costs you nothing to acknowledge someone that they exist as they are, whether you believe it or not. They want to be called she/her? Fine. You can still have your opinion and respect someone's existence - it's not either-or.)
So our devs are given macbook pros by default but we are able to get linux laptops if we want but that means we are really on our own to figure things out that don't work. A guy on my team made the switch to linux but then ended up switching back to a macbook as there were things that just didn't work right (or he couldn't get to work) that we need in our day to day, though I don't know exactly what those things were that were causing issues. Our non-devs have to run windows as the main software we use as a company is windows desktop client only.
There's this crazy fallacy that speech doesn't cause people to change behavior.

If I influence people consistently by saying that Programmers are terrible people; convince a bunch of people that it's true; then policies that target programmers are much easier to make into law.

Slavery existed in part because people thought black people were subhuman and plenty of people argued that quite publicly.

Or consider a gay child whose teachers say that gay people are going to hell? Do you think that wouldn't have an impact?

I really don't understand this idea that speech doesn't have consequences that cause disparate impact.
Well similarly, I can access BBC iPlayer from outside the U.K. too. It takes reconnecting to a VPN several times and streaming over a patchy connection, but I can do it. Does that make the BBC's geolocking pointless? No, because most people can't and even I am discouraged to do it because the experience is such a hassle.

And in this case even the kids who can access porn: making it difficult enough that their 12 year old selves can't but their 15 year old selves can is a success. Or making it something they can plan out, but not do in the spur of the moment is also a success.

Andy Warhol made a whole career questioning this assumption.

Photography and other forms of reproduction changed people’s view of art.

There are a LOT of talented painters in the world, with incredible skills. But there’s only one Picasso. Buying an original is owning a tangible piece of history — an object that he touched with his own hands, which maybe then went on to tour museums around the world (and maybe bears the freight stamps from those travels on the paintings backside).

Otherwise you can just frame a perfect reproduction or poster.

One of the important questions that comes up with this data is whether excessive fear of Covid-19 is leading to many other unnecessary deaths. It is not clear what percent of these 35% would fall into that category.
