I definitely thought this was going in a cryptography direction from the title. I actually kind of like the idea of composing music to generate a secret key :)
You aren't necessarily wrong per se that it's no different, but this is my view of what "mainsplaining" is:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26613161

I don't think I ever accuse anyone of "mansplaining" because I don't think that's likely to be helpful in remedying the problem. But I do think the use case that men can be oblivious to the stuff women are dealing with and can kind of pick on women and can then act like she's just not trying hard enough or something if she doesn't jump on his suggestion as a brilliant solution is a common enough occurrence that it isn't unreasonable for there to be a word specifically for that pattern.

It's a word useful to kvetch to allies about it happening. It's not a word useful to build bridges, explain to the people doing it why their random unsolicited advice to a woman can be actively harmful, etc.

Edit: And I am not trying to pick a fight with you or something. I do realize the context here is you are probably agreeing with me in some fashion. (Turns out I'm still not perfect and I apologize if this reads as fighty. It's not intended to be.)
So, this scenario isn't exactly uncommon in the startup world. It happens all the time. But because she's a minority female and her competitor is a white man, it suddenly becomes an example of white supremacy and the patriarchy conspiring to oppress her.

Doesn't this sort of thinking basically make these notions into a conspiracy theory? Every piece of evidence interpreted in a way that it supports the chosen narrative.

One consequence is so many opportunities for insight and thoughtful constructive reflection are lost. It's funny to me that under the guise of narratives that supposedly empower women (narratives which have also, as in the above example, been abused beyond their true purpose of calling out actual unfair bias), women are instead holding themselves back and getting in their own way mightily... and they don't seem to realize it? How can so many smart women have such a whopping blindspot to be duped into acting this way and think this is "power"?

I think it has something to do with how compelling and self-satisfying these stories are. You know, the ability to blame everyone else rather than face yourself and take personal responsibility. So, sadly i think, many people just get addicted to this as a short circuit substitute for actually doing the hard work of processing experiences and cultivating useful insights out of them. They just short circuit to feeling good temporarily, sadly prioritizing these fake stories and reasons over getting results.

It seems if a movement was really interested in empowering women it would try to address this glaring structural weakness of the current approach rather getting them hooked on these fake payoffs that don't get them anywhere :(
Slackware: reliability & simplicity
How that worked is that the US courts concluded that Donziger's own chosen experts found smoking-gun evidence showing the oil was spilled not by Chevron but by Ecuador's state-owned oil company, and that he then decided to conceal this evidence from the Ecuadorian courts, get those experts to count all that oil as Chevron's doing, strong-armed one expert to send them a bunch of signed blank pieces of paper which were used to fraudulently claim a report was written by that expert, and engaged in a whole bunch of other equally shady business. From what I can tell, most of this seems to have been undisputed and based on his own words.
Can you be more specific about what happened with Disney?
> Yeah, but isn't that the same thing, said in a different way?

Sort of, and it's definitely part of the same dynamic. The differences, or at least the points I wanted to emphasise, are:

- I thought you were focusing on people's need to signal their in-group membership and general conformity (sometimes sincerely, sometimes not) so that they might be listened to and not shunned. I was pointing out that the motivation for the caveats can have a less cynical/craven strand: the simple desire to clearly communicate one's true values and beliefs.

- We might be collectively reinforcing this state of affairs without individually doing anything irrational. You say 'people are trying to assume too much based on that "signaling"' -- but given the equilibrium we're currently in, if someone expresses unpopular opinion X on hot-button topic Y in context Z without any caveats, I may be quite right to suspect that their real views are even more extreme, and/or that they come as part of a broader ideological package. If that's not the case, and the person wants to express their actual unpopular opinions without appearing to hint at the other ones, they may be right to add the tortuous preface. If they do so, the strength of the implicit signal sent by those who don't add the caveats increases, and the cycle continues; none of us can unilaterally break it without (on the receiving end) wilfully ignoring implicit meaning, or (on the sending end) risking being completely misunderstood.

edit: also, I don't know if you were implying this is a notably modern/progressive thing, but I think the basic dynamic is pretty universal. Definitely right now in the circles I live in, I'd mostly be afraid of signalling right-wing stuff. And the whole thing does seem to have increased in intensity over the last decade or so. But I see people in the various right-wing tribes being just as conformist, and I don't think it's really anything new. I'm confident that people arguing for less conservative interpretations of the Bible 20/50/100/1000 years ago were very careful to signal that they were genuine pious Christians.

(I don't like this dynamic, by the way. I'm a bit of a literalist, I like to make clean logical distinctions and evaluate each idea on its own merits, and I'm not very comfortable with the world of social signalling and game-playing we all seem to be trapped in. But it's completely pervasive (not only in political contexts) and I don't think people are wrong to read and react to the signals, even though they sometimes do it badly.)
You don't need to violate a law to have your career and reputation destroyed. In today's at will employment environment its just easier for a company to lay off the accused rather than endure the cost and damage to its reputation incurred from keeping someone accused of sexism, racism or any of the isms. That person does not even have had to have done anything wrong, the accusation is enough to torpedo them.
China have been giving generous loans to sketchy govts for decades, knowing that defaults will likely occur, and this will result in the Chinese govt having moral authority to seize assets like ports (eg. In Sri Lanka).

China being culpable for covid means that their moral authority to collect on prior debts by seizing assets is brought into question.

Anytime someone in a position of power starts trying to discredit others with terms like "conspiracy theory" or "misinformation", their motives should be heavily questioned.

Anyone talking about lab leak as a "conspiracy theory" is either stupid or heavily conflicted.

You can now deploy .net core apps on Linux. Even SQL Server can run on Linux now. Plus, if you want to, debug it locally on your Windows machine on Linux using WSL (as simple as changing a drop-down to WSL and it'll install everything required on your WSL instance).

On the negative-side, the asp.net core team is obsessed with dependency injection and async, which results in tons of shitty boilerplate. So you either have to strike off the beaten path and get nice clean, terse code, but constantly fight the tooling, or accept their dogmatic styling and end up with ridiculously bloated code.

It's interesting the extent to which people are so moved to pontificate about "how unoriginal someone's tattoos are' to the extent that they can no longer draw common sense inferences about the world.

Yes, the "similarity' of the tattoos is just a completely unconnected coincidence to the weird academic stalking and no-one could possibly see any kind of link between the two.
That's not quite what I meant. I simply don't think the prevailing narrative--"men can't/don't understand/recognize sexism and (all) women do" and "whites can't/don't understand/recognize racism and (all) black/other minority do"--is either true or useful for moving forward together.

I do believe that in the US sexism is generally one directional due to the intrinsic imbalance in power. There are stereotypes about males, and they are harmful in some cases, but generally because more men have power the harm to women is more pervasive and severe.

Same thing with respect to race and white people, actually.
It’s not meaningless at all. It’s a great example for your kids to show them how to do the right thing even when it’s hard.
Of course there is a cultural difference between how much numbers speak in different cultures.

What you want the world to be isn't what the world is, and in this case it's true, as by law in the Netherlands, various promotional and termination choices are required to be justified by numbers, which is not the case in Anglo-Saxon countries, where employers are more so at liberty to subjectively assess whom they wish to promote, and whom not.

One could make the same argument for why Kindle would never work: people don’t want a separate device just for books. I think it’s more a matter of preference and how optimized a medium is for a type of content. Provide enough benefit and people will gladly have another device.

A few bash scripts work up to some size. For many projects at some time demands increase and you got longer test runs, which eventually require more machines and and different independent build steps (maybe you don't want to build the core libraries which are rarely touched for each commit of other parts etc.?) and at some point it breaks apart and you need something "proper" especially if you then also want to integrate test results with code review and track them from the single planning tool.
What is the goal of what we are all doing now? I am in this industry because I want to creatd interesting, innovative products that people want, and which they will give me money for.

It seems like at some point we shifted from optimizing for “innovate” to optimizing for extracting the existing wealth of the Silicon Valley gestalt, and making sure that nobody unfairly got a bigger piece than anybody else.

I feel like I could benefit from some sycophants in the comments here as I’m not really sure what exactly this library is for and how it compares to other web frameworks. I haven’t closely kept up with JavaScript frameworks since I stopped regularly writing JavaScript nearly 10 years ago, so maybe there’s no hope for me but reading the comments it seems other people are also asking similar questions.

I think my main question is how it differs from (e.g.) react: is the goal to be fast or to have few or different dependencies. Or does it solve different problems to react (or fail to offer solutions to the problems that react was meant to solve)?

Aside:

1940's His Girl Friday is a great madcap comedy about the journalism business. Though I can't find the timestamp, there's a great scene in the first act where the reporters are sitting around their phones playing cards. Our heroine, Hildy (played excellently by Rosalind Russell), comes in and rouses the group with a hot story. The reporters then relay the story back to the newsrooms in increasingly dubious and truth-stretching headlines, all for the evening editions.

It's a bit over the top, but the headlines they spout out sound just like Twitter posts and FB memes to my ears.

Yellow Journalism has been around in the US for about a century now, so it's not 'news'. To see the path out of where we are now requires that we look back and see how it was done before

He probably should have got a lawyer when he was ordered to produce confidential materials. Instead, he tried to handle it himself.

Now he is in a world of hurt.
Something like a DJI Mavic Air (which is more like $1.5k than $1k) will happily get 5-10km range.

The risks associated with being 5km away piloting a drone and in a helicopter full of people overhead is radically different.

I mean, I wouldn't have wanted to be only 5km away from Mt St Helens when It blew its top ~40 years ago, but that one had spent 6 weeks giving off 4 and 5 magnitude earthquake warnings...

I think there's be a huge range of volcanos where it'd be risky to overfly in a helicopter risking human life, but where it'd be perfectly safe and sensible to fly drones for fun/curiosity/commercial-stock-footage/education/some-possible-eventual-science-benefit. I mean the major reason _not_ to overfly sites with drones are entirely absent, there's nobody and nothing valuable to hit and nothing for a drone battery to set fire to if you crash one on a lava field...
Yes, that’s how every successful resistance to oppression in history has operated.

Self-preservation and self-interest is how every single resistance has failed and capitulated.

-----------------------------

Short Story

In the not-so-distant future, we’ve trained AI to predict the probability you might die on any given day. But it’s trained on so many factors, and reads so many inputs, that no one really knows how it works.

So the story is of a random person who suddenly observes their meter jump from the usual 0% to a cautious 3%. Then over the course of the day, it slowly climbs to 20%, and onwards.

No one knows why, and no one can help them. They get a call from their boss, who sends them home early, rather than risk their safety in the office. Strangers offer to take them home. A stranger on the street offers to trade cards with them, and promises that his card can help them.

The meter shows up at 30% on the subway, and the narrator tries to hide it, but it’s too late, and the people around them are already looking at them suspiciously. The narrator tries to call their spouse, but they can’t get hold of them. They go home, but their spouse isn’t there.

By the time they get home, the meter is at 40%. They try to call for help, but the police are already there, waiting. The meter hits 60%, and then 100%.

The police tell the narrator that they’re sorry, but they’ve been watching them for some time, and have seen no indications that the narrator is a threat. The narrator protests that they’ve been trying to call the police, but now the police just say that the meter made a prediction, and they’re just going by the numbers.

The police tell the narrator that they’ll have to detain them, for the next 24 hours, to prevent them from doing anything rash. The narrator protests, but the police ignore them, and cuff them.

The police take the narrator in, but they aren’t taken to a normal jail. They’re taken to a special prison — a prison for people who might die.

He spends the remainder of his life in that jail cell.

SARS-CoV in its natural form is an interesting bioweapon.

No known treatment or vaccine. Targets the decision makers (presidents and ministers and military generals are older, and a virus is easier to reach them, than a bullet is). SARS-CoV has super-spreader events, and asymptomatic spread, making it very difficult to contain. It spreads incredibly easily (near-airborne), in confined spaces such as airplanes, but even the toilet plumbing, or shared airco. It offers plausible deniability, by pointing to a natural spill-over event or unsanitary meat markets. It causes enormous economic damage (the economy, not the cannon fodder, being the subject of modern warfare) and cultural damage (tracking and containment is costly and invasive as it damages trust in a free society). It is most readily available to small states and terrorist groups by extracting from live civet cats. Military-aged terrorists spreading SARS-CoV by simply boarding airplanes and visiting hot spots, and not even dying themselves, so they can do it all over again. SARS-CoV in first stages has vague symptoms, similar to other, more common viruses, which would give a pandemic a head start. Pandemics are good PR for fear-based terrorism. The strain on the hospitals is enormous, and military-aged men are too worried to reserve a bed for their elderly parents or their recovery.

More in the vast literature.

> SARS-CoV-2 is complete trash as a bioweapon.

If complete trash, I would not be afraid of Iran being able to press a button and release SARS-CoV-3 for a 2020 repeat. Even if looking at viral bioweapons from the comical anthrax perspective: SARS-CoV-2 killed over 2 million people.

> that the existence of the sample would almost certaintly be known.

Yes. It would make sense that it would be known. And if it would be known, that would probably sufficiently proof the lab leak hypothesis and end this quarrel. We wouldn't need to talk about probabilities much anymore. But that same argument kinda also works against the zoonotic origin hypothesis. It would make a lot of sense that after a year, we found the intermediate host, or patient 0. If there was a clear epidemiological explanation for a zoonotic origin, it would almost certainly be known. Maybe there really isn't.
