Ahh, okay, that makes more sense, thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
I think you misunderstood. These aren’t “victories” in the sense of having any impact on reform or progress - they have none, not even a little, and the people doing the cancelling never expected or needed them to.

It’s only about taking what you can grab. The goal is to get more stuff while not being accused of violating social norms during the act of taking. So cancel culture is invented as an excuse of convenience that allows taking stuff on one hand while claiming moral righteousness (even though your only motive was to take peoples stuff you wanted) on the other.

If you wanted social reform, there are many actions you could choose that aren’t directly rooted in terms of who are the easiest people, with sufficiently valuable stuff, to take from.

The fact that people choose to focus on social looting instead of all the rational alternatives is what really conclusively demonstrates that cancelling is not at all about pure motives to fix things but instead is just about what can you get away with taking while protected under the righteousness banner of the social movement convenience excuse.
Aren't marketers stratify their audience? No matter how silly they categorize an individual person, it works on bigger numbers.

I'm going to quote Paul Graham's Twitter here:

"Many fans of cancel culture have mentioned that it's mostly powerful people publishing opinions about it, as if that were some kind of contradiction.

Of course it's mostly powerful people who are speaking openly about a phenomenon that gets less powerful people fired."

Often times when I have any kind of nuanced debate, this kind of tribalism comes to the surface. If you disagree on some small point you're obviously the opposition in it's entirety. The other side of the debate comes up with an entire fiction in their mind that has no bearing on reality and nothing to do with any stated phrase or real position. I have had people tell me I'm against marijuana legalization because I support lowering the fees for concealed carry licenses.

You can't accurately construct a message about someone elses mental state without talking to them at length. When you assume people imply things, you're actually sharing YOUR mental state. When you take a message to mean significantly more than what the words themselves mean, you're not filling in the gaps with reality but your perception of reality.
In the words of Mandy Rice-Davies, they would say that, wouldn't they?
I think you should care because 'cancel culture' is discussed everywhere now and has a deep emotional weight that can change people's opinion and how they vote. I don't know how many people are still in the center and undecided politically with this tribalism, but cancel culture could and is used politically now (among others, by Trump).

I'm not sure what the point of this post is. It says

> And yet at every point in history, there were true things that would get you in terrible trouble to say. Is ours the first where this isn't so? What an amazing coincidence that would be.

and then goes on to argue that saying certain things could get you in trouble. I'm sure that the orthodoxy-aligned people at any point in time believed that they couldn't say anything that would get them in trouble as well.

So it may be an unfortunate dynamic, but the post contradicts itself in presenting it as a product of our time. If anything, things got better: in the past you'd be imprisoned or killed, today people yell at you on Twitter and in the worst case you may have to switch jobs.
> Check your privilege

I'll respond with something I believe written by <a href="http://utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/engl1311/fallacies.htm... M. Williamson.</a>

>The Identity Fallacy (also Identity Politics; "Die away, ye old forms and logic!"): A corrupt postmodern argument from ethos, a variant on the Argumentum ad Hominem in which the validity of one's logic, evidence, experience or arguments depends not on their own strength but rather on whether the one arguing is a member of a given social class, generation, nationality, religious or ethnic group, color, gender or sexual orientation, profession, occupation or subgroup. In this fallacy, valid opposing evidence and arguments are brushed aside or "othered" without comment or consideration, as simply not worth arguing about solely because of the lack of proper background or ethos of the person making the argument, or because the one arguing does not self-identify as a member of the "in-group." E.g., "You'd understand me right away if you were Burmese but since you're not there's no way I can explain it to you," or "Nobody but another nurse can know what a nurse has to go through." Identity fallacies are reinforced by common ritual, language, and discourse. However, these fallacies are occasionally self-interested, driven by the egotistical ambitions of academics, politicians and would-be group leaders anxious to build their own careers by carving out a special identity group constituency to the exclusion of existing broader-based identities and leadership. An Identity Fallacy may lead to scorn or rejection of potentially useful allies, real or prospective, because they are not of one's own identity. The Identity Fallacy promotes an exclusivist, sometimes cultish "do for self" philosophy which in today's world virtually guarantees self-marginalization and ultimate defeat. A recent application of the Identity Fallacy is the fallacious accusation of "Cultural Appropriation," in which those who are not of the right Identity are condemned for "appropriating" the cuisine, clothing, language or music of a marginalized group, forgetting the old axiom that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Accusations of Cultural Appropriation very often stem from competing selfish economic interests (E.g., "What right do those p*nche Gringos have to set up a taco place right here on Guadalupe Drive to take away business from Doña Teresa's Taquería? They even dare to play Mexican music in their dining room! That's cultural appropriation!"). See also, Othering.
That's the point - you can't commit to it, or it will be the last thing you ever write.
James Corbett did some great videos years ago on the weaponization of science. It is very true. Science should be debate and argument and reproducibility problems, working back and fourth until we get the methodology right and every student can follow the instructions and get the same results.

Today, science has certainly become a new belief system over certain publications and ideas over others. In the US, there is no constitution protection for "science," only for religion. Many of the things currently placed under the umbrella of science are really religious beliefs (you could even argue to some extent that all scientific beliefs are religious; even if some things, like the laws of physics, can be proven to be absolutely true 100% of the time) and should be looked at under the lens of the 1st amendment, when they're clearly not.
The main part of the book outlines multiple ways of dealing with exceptional situations, including the handler and restart subsystems of the condition system. It also includes a section with some use cases of the condition system outside standard error handling. I hope that the information stored there is, all in all, rich enough to satisfy your curiosity, and the curiosity about concrete use cases for the condition system in general.
Algorithms and data structures are very useful and a general knowledge is certainly required. However, when you're facing a problem, do you have to come up with an optimal solution, on a whiteboard, in 45 minutes, and with someone looking over your shoulder?
Rowling's statement wasn't even explicitly true before the rise of transgender visibility. It excludes women who don't conform. I've lived with pre-menopausal women who didn't menstruate regularly and felt that they were "wrong" somehow because of it (some had underlying medical issues, some did not). To use Graham's analogy, even ignoring transgender issues, the orthodoxy there was privileged against the multitude of female experience.

Rowling's statement is true if your experience leads you to prioritize the orthodox. It's patently false if your experience deviates from the experiences that created it. The struggle in the conservation of orthodox values (e.g. sisterhood of women) and the visibility of heterodox experience (e.g transgender issues & the lived experience of women who's bodies don't conform to the stereotypes being used) has a lot of truth on both sides.

This is a huge win for open chat protocols, and we really need an open protocol for chat communication to become a standard. The fact that most of the popular chat platforms are proprietary is a travesty. It’s especially painful nowadays where a lot of chat apps are implemented using Electron making them rather hefty in terms of resource usage. Having to run both Slack and Discord for example is pretty taxing. This problem wouldn’t exist using open protocols.

I'm old enough to remember the days when you could use a single client to communicate over many networks. Proprietary protocols are the reason that's not possible anymore, and I sincerely hope that every single company peddling them goes out of business.

Not "just as fucked," but, yes, very much fucked.

I don't have a problem with the term itself. I do think that if you are white, college-educated, and urban you are an exceptionally poor candidate to discuss it or indeed use it with the rural white poor. There's a little bit too much just-world-fallacy subtext about why you, who are white, are doing so much better economically than they, who are also white, and why they ought to submit to your moral guidance.

Honestly, trying to get the message out via local religious leadership is probably the best bet.

Say you are a Mongolian tourist and you arrive in America and people are getting upset about "all lives matter", you would think that it is an utterly bizarre thing to get upset about.

In fact, the angry reaction to "all lives matter" precisely is what encourages its use. Because if you take as premise, that "all lives matter" is true then it becomes easy to cast anybody who gets angry about a true statement as unreasonable.

You might think that there are no Mongolian tourists in America, especially right now, but you might be surprised how little many people pay attention to current events.

There are plenty of kinds of privilege. Being white means that when you're pulled over (if you manage to afford a car), you know it's not because you're white. Being white means that when you turn on the TV, you mostly see folks of your race represented. Being white means being told that throughout history, your race is what made the modern world what it is. Being white means being able to always find the company of people of your race [1]. Being white means that when you write good school essays, you're not continually asked who wrote them for you. Being white means that BLM protests can be the first time you understand how Black people are treated.

There are similarly privileges from being born in the US, from being straight, from being male, from being able-bodied and from being cis-gendered.

Being poor doesn't eliminate those and is still disenfranchising, but not having the above privileges _and_ being poor is even worse.

I think Apple loses money on the app store policing app privacy and content even with a 30% cut. If they had to do it for 3rd parties app stores without the financial benefit, I wonder what impact that would have to app turnaround time (back up to 2 weeks+). Eventually, a third party app store may end up with iOS anti-virus and malware software like on Android as well as much of the malware just getting through. I suspect counterfeiting will go up as well like on Android.
Lots of drawbacks with this approach:
- More heat
- More power consumption
- More noise
- The GPU memory isn't addressable as a single unit

> I'm sorry, excuse me? Are you saying that non-minority, non-women don't suffer anxiety?

To be fair, OP did say "That effect is magnified for anyone who is unlike their interviewers"

But, I do agree some evidence from OP would help their claims.

I wouldn't be surprised if minorities experience more anxiety, on average, in situations like an interview, though. I think it's established that imposter syndrome is more frequently encountered for example but it's too late here to go digging for evidence :)
Take an interviewer who has the benefit of having worked through a problem literally a hundred times, further aided by internal training that represents thousands of iterations. Have them judge someone who hasn't had to solve that particular problem more than once or twice, twenty years ago in a different language (and certainly not on a whiteboard). That interviewer will form an inaccurate opinion of the interviewee's relative ability. Not maybe, and not by a little. Any interview process that does nothing to correct for that is broken.
As a long-time subscriber I think it's more accurate to say they are selectively focused on economic issues. They publish plenty of non-economic pieces which align with their view of the world.

It's not clear to me the difference between "cancel culture" and legitimate outrage.

The complaints about cancel culture feel vague: a mob, a loud minority making demands, a court of public opinion, etc.

Aren't those present for for both legitimate and illegitimate criticism? I guess I don't know how the "cancel cancel culture" folks want the "cancel culture" folks to express themselves when they see an injustice but aren't represented in positions of power that can affect change.

It seems like it's those in positions of power and privilege that don't like protests, cancel culture, or anything that could upset their status and net worth.

I'm just confused by the outrage and attempt to cancel the folks who are outraged and attempting to cancel people.

I understand from history that it can go too far: political arrests, burning books, etc. But no cancelling seems like an extreme where were asking folks to let people stay in positions of power no matter what they say or believe.

Happy to be wrong about this.

How many more people need to die before you change your mind?

There were about 35,000 deaths in the US during the 2018-2019 flu season.

There have been about 135,000 deaths in the US from COVID-19 so far. And the number of deaths per day is going back up.

So how many people do you think need to die in 2020 from COVID-19 before we should be taking it seriously and not considering it "just a fucking flu"? Another 35,000? More?

The problem won't go away without massive reform to the system. And asking "what about these other people?" in the general context is not useful; asking "what about these other people in the specific context of 'will this proposed solution work for these other people, too?'" is very useful.
