>considered by the majority

It is irrelevant that the majority does not actually think this way.

What is relevant is if there is a vocal minority who has power over you and your career that does. And any of the majority who steps out of line in opposition to this power structure individually gets destroyed.

You seem to be mistaking your desire for fair and righteous social dynamics for what actually is today: a Kafkaesque environment perpetuated by fear of anyone speaking up and then becoming a target for the mob and ruination.

Maybe you don't believe this, or maybe this isn't your experience, but take it from many of hundreds of commenters here, this article, or countless stories just like it that this is very real and justified fear.
Sure, the article lumps together all kinds of outrage, some of it more serious than others. For example, it also lumps together outrage that someone would commit a micro-aggression like asking "where are you from?" together with much more serious issues like people losing their careers or reputations over questionable or downright false accusations of racism. These are clearly not on the same level, but it would be silly to get mad at the author for not introducing this distinction.

What does it say about this moment in time when a person can't even speak about certain human emotions like outrage as a universal human experience without being accused of things and called names?
I've not had much success showing block characters in the standard Mac Terminal.app. Is there a particular font I need to use?
The problem here lies in the word "sexism" and that, I think, you believe a solution should be to remove its baggage. The replies you get are, I think, because many people, with good reason, believe that such a goal isn't feasible. In fact, the baggage itself is probably why you perceive the replies to be "emotional".

So I go back to my first reply: to stop casting people into a binary like I think we both want, better not to throw such loaded words at people and instead analyze their behavior on a case by case basis. Fighting the word itself is prescriptive at best, and language tends to be descriptive, AFAIK.
Maybe I should try hooking it up to Nethack!
Seems like[1] Collabora might use profits to support the LibreOffice development, in which case that's a great way to support an important open source platform and also build a company with a FOSS-friendly/supporting business model.

Been using Stencil for the past year or so as a way of extending our Angular app with client-specific apps (eventually looking to open this up to clients to upload their own components / apps).

Overall it's done a good job but I still find the build system somewhat esoteric (there are a number of different approaches and it took some effort to figure out the right one for our use case).

I have noticed development has slowed down over the past couple months: https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil/graphs/commit-activity

I've always wondered this too. We all know what you're doing anyways so I don't understand why that phrase seems to be trying to "hide" it or something, and afaik there isn't any issues with the words bathroom or restroom right?

That would be a pretty easy thing for GitHub to fix, just add a prominent banner about reading the code of conduct files for the repo before sending issues/etc. Could you file a support request?
Microsoft sells an entire software system (actually multiple such software systems) that are expensive, and require CALs (per user licensing) and server licensing simply to deploy software.

Microsoft also provides many different ways to install/deploy Office products for enterprises. In fact, one of the biggest selling point of the O365 enterprise tier is flexibility in deployment/installation options.
Totally right.

I have experienced encounters which as a stereotypical white tech-bro I can only chalk up to me being an asshole, not having enough tact with people and/or tech skills for that particular domain, but could equally be explained as racism or discrimination if I was part of a protected class.

I don't have a problem with people being offended by the way, I have a problem with this self-reinforcing positive feedback loop of virtue-signaling our industry seems to be in.
While I don't think you should be downvoted, the reality is that there are a lot of people that think they want open and honest advice or criticism, but will respond very poorly when they actually receive anything of the sort.

This is worsened by many people doing a poor job of providing said feedback, for a myriad of reasons: because they never learned how, because they were never in an environment conducive to doing so, because they flat-out just don't care, etc.

Not to mention, there's also the fact that some pills are just straight-up hard to swallow. I've had to choke down more than a few of those, and it took a long time for me to develop the maturity to do so productively.

An NDA doesn't fix any of these problems.

> Are you serious?

Absolutely. I'm not saying that's the best possible solution, but it has the advantage of historical precedent for a similar problem: a few companies have too much influence on public discussion.

And it addresses the flaw in Section 230: companies that act like publishers but claim the protections of platforms.

So is that the best reply you can come up with, or do you have any other reasonable objections besides those I've already addressed?

> I feel courts ought not to have the own power to punish people for contempt

How do you handle people not complying with a court order like handing over evidence, paying fines, etc.?
> Yes, that’s how every successful resistance to oppression in history has operated.

I think the difference for this particular case is that the people who have to stick their necks out are the people who generally don't have much to lose if the resistance fails. (Obviously this isn't the case for the larger discussion around combating sexism, where individual women bear the brunt of the risk, but for this particular advice-giving bit, it is.)

From wikipedia ----

In both Einstein's theory of special and general relativity, causality means that an effect cannot occur from a cause that is not in the back (past) light cone of that event. Similarly, a cause cannot have an effect outside its front (future) light cone.

---- end wiki

I guess FTL would violate that definition of casuality, but I assume if discovered, we'd just change the definition of casuality and prolly go with a more intuitive, 'cause must preceded effect'(removing the information speed limit); I assume that's the confusion here.
I guess I'm not clear on where you're not clear. PKCE adds a secret that the redeemer of the auth code returned from (say) Twitter needs to know to use the code. The big problem with implicit flow is the extent to which it exposes that code; PKCE makes it harder to use the code once exposed.
All that for a 380p vertical video?
Very interesting to read. I wonder if some of this is due to neutral statements in English tending to carry a negative connotation. If I say "I want to come over tomorrow but I'm not sure if I can make it" - that actually means "I do not want to come over tomorrow".

You /can't/ communicate without euphemisms, and trying to will always fail and make you seem like a dick even though you're just being straightforward. That is likely where the difficulty you've experienced comes from.

(For context, your exact situation occurred this weekend. I was invited to an event and said yes, but both me and my friend knew that I would not attend)
Intel 2.0’S Customer Dilemma
I've 45, a native English speaker, and extremely literate. A few months ago I got into a disagreement with my husband on how to pronounce a word ("satiety"). Because I'd never seen it before, and while I could figure it out from context, it turns out my guess at the pronunciation was wrong.

English is humbling. You are still learning words in middle age. You are still learning pronunciations in middle age. It just never ends.

The Strength of the Record
One thing that has fascinated me about this is the possibility of translation across dissimilar categories.

What I mean is we have style transfer in the domain of text, and we can style transfer with images. And we can generate images from text. Can we style transfer from image to text or vice versa? Can prose be rewritten in a manner that, in some sense, adheres to aesthetic principles of impressionist painting?

Presumably there would be some kind of informational representation of text style discernable to an image generation system. And just like an artistic style can be extracted from a painting and transposed to a photograph, perhaps an interpretation of textual style could be applied to a photograph despite them being different mediums.

What would that even look like? I don't know, but I find the possibilities fascinating.

The temptation, I think, is to make a first pass at answering this question in a frustrating, cartoonishly shallow way. And I think systems will possibly be developed that just go ahead and do it before people are culturally ready to understand it in a non-frivolous way. Everyone needs to get those reactions out of their system, I guess, but there's a more nuanced possibility here that might allow clashing of dissimilar categories in ways never previously contemplated.

Outrage mobs don't need a legal setting to ruin someone's life (or livelihood).

Question: Would we, on average, expect an outrage mob response of the same size and magnitude when a man makes such an accusation? Whether or not this is justified by historical injustice is irrelevant here. What's salient is whether or not there is a gender skew.

If there is such a systematic and large societal gender skew, then we should expect people's cost/benefit calculations regarding the exposure to the risk of such accusations to also be skewed in a way that is large, systemic, and gender unequal. In a word, the way our society works around accusations, current day in 2021, is itself highly sexist.

Therefore, if we don't want systematized sexism, then we have to eliminate gendered skew in these cost/benefit calculations. We already know the mechanisms for the way out of this. It's codified in various legal systems, and in the values of historical liberal societies and philosophies. They are called respect for evidence, innocent until proven guilty, and due process. When society applies these principles gender neutrally, the gendered skew in individual cost/benefit calculations will even out, on average. Society will have eliminated another form of sexism, and the world will be a better place.

When one says "believe women" somehow in preference to believing men, this is a contributing factor. To avoid the gendered skew, it would be obviously impractical to say, "believe everyone." Hence: respect for evidence, innocent until proven guilty, and due process. Applied gender-neutrally, this is our way out.

In short, the tremendous power we've given mobs based on accusations not-requiring evidence is itself highly sexist, and this distorts our society to also be more sexist.
It is also frustrating to hear:

- Ah.. It came from the meat market (official positions)
- Likely from live bats
- Who are not sold at that meat market
- Who are hybernating
- Who come from a cave 900 miles away

Yes, yes, but what if instead it maybe came from a badly-run lab studying that exact bat just a few miles away?

- We strongly condemn any theory that may lead to the suggestion that it came from the lab. You are directly insulting the work of our Chinese colleagues, threatening our relations in Gain-of-Function research and funding, and furthering harmful conspiracy theories accusing the Chinese authorities of a cover-up. I, Peter Daszak, will do a thorough investigation into the origins, which all responsible scientists have already concluded is natural in origin.
> It's a natural part of discussion.

It isn't natural, it's part of the culture.

The worst I've seen was so bad that when I refused to interrupt, I waited 45 minutes without an opportunity to speak and then the meeting was over. Literally a 45-minute chain of people interrupting each other. That's not natural, that's adapted behavior.

Fortunately, it's a rarity at my current place of work :)

All it takes is a few bad apples and everyone else will adapt and interrupt as well.
They announced Highs (discovery of the century) at 3 sigma as well.
No, I don't think so. It certainly wasn't a thing that I was aware of prior to roughly two years ago. Maybe it's "normal" now but that's probably because certain people made you show your identity card in order to dissent.

I've noticed this trend where people started to accuse each other of psychological trickery a lot. I think it descends as a "defense" from that. I was never really sure of how many psychological games were really being played and how much people just reached for the terms to use as dismissal from criticism.
Hatetris
But the distortion existed in society in the first place. The main stream media reports what people what to hear because it's good for business. The root of the problem is us.

The phenomenon isn't something created by the media and deployed into society. The origins of cancel culture and most of this outrage come from extremist leftist elements from students in college campuses. The media just made the spreading of this phenomenon faster.

You can't really blame social media either. Because we control what goes onto social media. We're responsible for the news on our social feeds.
My suspicion is that because Aimee is transgender, they expected anti-transgender comments about her and were thus more eager with "anti-doxxing" filters.
Does the WHO organization have much credibility left when dealing with China? I remember the embarrassment when a WHO official was asked to talk about about the successful COVID response in Taiwan and he had to awkwardly end the interview. The WHO looked like a puppet of the Chinese government rather than an independent organization. If they can’t talk about Taiwan would they really be expected to uncover anything that puts the Chinese government in a negative light?
Yes. If you aspire to "be somebody" then reputation management is important. But if your entire career will be spent working for employers who drug test and ask you if you've been in jail, but don't Google for your name, and you're not important to have the Google results of your name actually be about you anyway, then what is there to worry about?
> Under-valuing of data work is common to all of AI development.

I don’t think that’s true in bioinformatics. For example, people highly respect the laboratory work done to collect data on protein function.
Depends on the phrasing - you don't have to call it "comforting lie" - something to the effect of "I can offer some encouraging points about this if you like or if you want critique, we can do that" would also do. I have had people tell me in the past, "I don't want you to solve it for me, just listen", which was a learning experience.
Thanks for the analysis.

The event bus is one of the more interesting concepts. You could have a single component that includes the HTML table/view component and the add item dialog component wrapped into one bigger component. When the add component closes fires event to the view component to refresh based on the new data. A global state object might be easier, but I have yet to jump on the global store (flux/redux/NgRx) wagon yet. Although I do look forward to learning about how Ficus implements the global store and how I can use the concept in future projects.
So you can't name a single one.

Got it.
Many years of experience have taught me that fields holding data being able to hold any sequence of bytes is normal (and in the case of string data, anything except 00), so this didn't surprise me too much; in fact, it's usually when something is unusually restrictive that it becomes notable.

I believe it was in Montreal that there was a study attempted for something like a Human Sexuality postgrad study, that needed to collect a certain sample size of males who had never consumed internet pornography(or something to that effect), that had to be abandoned due to complete failure to find subjects who met the criteria.

I'd imagine it would be not quite as hard to find caffeine naive subjects for a caffeine study, but not by much.

Just an anecdote on this, a few years ago (in a university town in the US) I was in a bookstore and overheard a small group discussing what sounded a lot like New Atheism. What stood out to me was one of them arguing passionately for greater group solidarity, saying that they shouldn't squabble over whether they call themselves secular humanists or atheists or whatever. So these people are still out there. Of course, in this same town social justice activism is much more prevalent, and there was something pitiable about this group, as though they knew that their brand of politics isn't in favor anymore. But I was struck by how strongly some of them still wanted to change that. I'm not an atheist, but I think groups like this can provide a healthy counterbalance to the kind of fervor being discussed here.

I think that kind of depends on how it is enforced. If the government is defining an authoritative truth and enforcing it, I think that's definitely the authoritarian route that every American is taught is bad.

If a jury of peers is determining that someone lied, that seems pretty reasonable to me. It can be illegal to lie on purpose without the government determining the truth or enforcing "the truth". The court system would almost certainly require that not only did an entity deliberately lie, but direct harm was caused that exceeds the harm done to freedom of speech.

The US free speech system already divides speech into high value and low value speech. Political opinions in America are considered high value and are probably the most protected speech in the world. Do you think direct lies or manipulations should be considered high value speech? If you have a scale for "value of speech" that starts with illicit pornography on one end and political speech on the other, where would you put: "fire!" in a crowded theater, advertisements/commercial speech, opinions, direct lies, direct manipulation, medical lies (this sugar pill cures cancer), etc. What about labels on food. Should a company be able to list 0 calories on their ice cream? How much should this idea of "speech" be unbend-able, how narrowly or broadly should the word "speech" or "press" be defined?

If we have a class like "food" that requires true nutrition labels to protect the integrity of food, and we have have scheduled medicines that require "active ingredients," to protect the integrity of medicine, why is the idea of news regulation to protect the integrity of news so provoking?

There is no black and white when it comes to this issue. America's free speech almost lost us our democracy to an authoritarian who would have assuredly decreased our human rights and ended the idea of free speech. In philosophical terms, our free speech as it exists right now is very likely a "contradiction". If free speech exits to prevent authoritarian destruction of human rights, but it also allows for an authoritarian to seize power, is the basis of free speech in tact? How do you protect the integrity of the system?
