Oh oh I got one.

I visited the “server room” of the organisation responsible for e-healthcare(the software application that was in use by all public hospitals, doctors, and pharmacies in one state of India) as a consultant to learn the following.

Their server room is in an old repurposed residential building on the second floor!

The only ways to get there were either through narrow winding steps, or an ancient metal elevator that creaks and is also made for tiny humans.

IBM managed to sell two Mainframes(Z10) to run their Java apps. The mainframes could not be brought in because of the elevator problem. I kid you not, they brought welders on site to dismantle the racks, and then weld them back again inside the “server room”!

Cooling for the “server room” with two mainframes you ask? A few airconditioners that you’d typically installed at home and a table fan(I don’t know why it was there).

They were concerned about performance issues on their Java applications which were simply “JVM runs out of memory about every day”.

I luckily could bail out of that nightmare and escaped the whole situation.

I could only think about the govt employees who were in charge of purchasing that got to go on fancy vacations paid for by IBM. I obviously don’t know if it’s the case, but my own amusing speculation to explain the irrational purchase.

> meritocracy

A core problem is what this means. A lot of people insist that we previously lived in a meritocracy and that things like admissions tests are pure representations of this meritocracy, so that moving away from these systems is an attack on a purely level playing field of meritocracy.

But we don't all agree with this. The same people who you criticize do not agree that we have achieved equality of opportunity. Not even close. For a very clear example, we see wealth opening huge numbers of doors for people regardless of actual merit, either through access to training, or access to connections, or as a backstop that enables people to take risks.

What you consider hostility to these concepts, other people think are essential to achieving these concepts.

Funny how you are getting downvoted, I can guess the thinking behind it.

But you are right. The way rape is being treated now is like saying an accidental traffic accident manslaughter should be punished like a serial killer. It’s just not the same and it’s not fair.

This in no way makes groping or leering acceptable. But it’s still completely different to violent rape penetrative assault.

Bismark, a far right monarchist, introduced the first universal healthcare insurance system as a result of a combination of fear of the left and christian morality. The notion that government spending is unique to the left is a modern US conceit.

In Europe a significant proportion of the right are Christian democrats of various flavours who consider some degree of state welfare to be moral duty, and/or other non-free market conservatives, to the point where the US style right are considered extremists many places.

I can't prove this but I suspect this comparison is reflecting the relative price of goods and services which is a hyper-competitive market in the USA.

Other differences between the USA 20th percentile group and the Euro 50th percentile group is that one of them has healthcare and a longer lifespan.

They take their political project seriously, but you won’t find an intellectually serious defense of far right ideology because they are simply not interested in doing that. I am not sure why people are so keen to provide cover for these people by keeping up the pretense that they have some kind of coherent political ideology that can be rationally debated. No-one who is nuts enough to advocate for racially segregated ethnostates within the USA is in that category.

> I don't really see the big issue with Latinx... it seems to me an easy and correct way to refer to latinos and latinas, without saying both, or one or the other, or bringing in gender.

The problem I see is that Latinos massively overwhelming don't use "Latinx" for themselves. 76% of adult Latinos say they have never even heard of the term "Latinx" [1]. 20% have heard of it but do not use it. Only 3% use it.

Even among younger Latinos, 18-29, less than 50% have heard of it and only 7% use it.

Among the minority of Latinos who are aware of the term only 10% say it is the preferred term. 50% say the preferred term is Hispanic and 31% say Latino is the preferred term.

It seems pretty arrogant to call a group by a word that most people in the group don't even recognize and most that do recognize it do not consider it the correct word for them.

> The idea that Nazis are right-wing is also kind of a modern conceit

This is absurd. Not only the nazi mindset fits squarely into all the far-right / ultranationalist ideas, but the nazi party even made an alliance with the fascist party in Italy.
I think "wokeness" comes not so much from "safetyism" but from a generation who were educated to be critical of their own society. They were raised and educated by ex-hippies, who had successfully critiqued the post-war US. I think this was a pedagogical crime (raising children to be critical). Every generation is supposed to critique its predecessor but teaching critique to children from a young age robbed them of the opportunity to level a critique from their own, unique perspective.

This is why "wokeness" strikes so many as performative: it's desperately trying to recreate the greatest hits of the 20th century protest movements. An example of this is schools having scheduled protests (say, for gun control). Ironically, in this situation, the only genuine protest is to refuse to attend the protest.
Absolutely agreed that unionized doesn't mean only bad things. That's not what my parent asked about though.

My dad was at a sort of unionized place. The core business wasn't Software but they spun their own IT needs out into an IT service company that became quite large on its own too. This was in Germany though. The actual union negotiated with the core business and for their employees. There's also another system in Germany that's a little separate from unions (which also exist) called roughly translated the "workers council".

The core business for example (manufacturers union) had a 35 hour week. The IT company had an agreement of "what the union contract says but with these modifications e.g. +5 hours." (and some other stuff) the unionization was great for a junior as it guaranteed a minimum pay scale for example with set minimum raises after x time etc. You had to track your time (clocking in and out was provided but not mandatory) and weren't allowed to do too many hours etc. But things were still flexible. Come and go when you want to within reason. And that was already like that in the 1980s. Obviously no WFH at that time :)

When the union renegotiated to 37.5 hours that suddenly meant all IT company personnel had to work 42.5. But the workers council and the company were on good terms and workers were told not to worry, the official stuff will take a week or two to hammer out and put in writing but keep working your 40 hours. The intent was the 40 hours and the +5 was just how it was written down. A technicality.

So yeah it can also be good.
I agree with you, but "tongue in cheek" when you are wrong can come out as obnoxious

Classic. "They" want to take away your rights, off course. The shadowy malicious, always scheming in secrecy, always forcing companies' hands to crack down and decide things that have nothing to do with them.

This is not flirting with fascism at all. (Not until it's used against you, at any rate.)

Documentation is underrated. If the documentation is bad I know it will cost 3x or more to implement. Most of the time I do look at the source code, aka "the source code is the documentation", but if the "source code" is 10000 modules with glue code, and there is no documentation - I will not even bother.
Never found this to be an issue. When in doubt, simply don't use the pronoun and use their first name to refer to them.

I wonder if Telsa's Dojo computer [1] has anything to do with this?

The analogy is missing a key part of the system as designed today - putting something on someone else's property. The house analogies are terrible, but closer to what's happening is as follows.

I'm your neighbor and I want you to store a box for me. It's tapped up so you don't really want to open it, but would you store it for me without knowing what's in it? You could be like other cloud providers, rip the tape off and rummage through looking for whatever.

Apple has designed a method for me to scan the box at my house only for CSAM (agreed upon by the intersection of multiple databases), then hand it to you with a note that says 'this is not CSAM'. Now you can store the box with some confidence in knowing you're not storing CSAM. It's also more private because you don't need to go rummaging through my box - even though you currently can if you want.

Of course we're starting from the basis that you have decided you don't want to store any CSAM. If you don't care about what you store it doesn't matter.

And you're right that Apple could make a policy change to scan my whole house and upload that somewhere, but guess what? iOS users (smart phone users in general) have always been one policy change away from Apple/Google doing something like uploading/sharing all the face ML data (which IMO is way more valuable than some hash matches). So nothing has really changed.
Interesting.

If you are silent then you are not explicitly with us.

And if you are not explicitly with us then you are guilty of violence. That is to say, against us.

Thus "silence is violence" = "if you are not with us then you are against us".
>But if your position is that they shouldn't be looking at your data at all, then you have to go back to the first question and say "Apple should not be trying to stop the exploitation of children."

You're getting pretty far into "affirming the consequent" territory here.
> We have made huge progress in areas such as women's rights.

And suffragettes put bombs in mailboxes and threw their bodies under horses. 2nd wave feminists were far more "anti-man" than modern feminists (there aren't too many political lesbians nowadays). The "peaceful protest" that people recall so fondly rarely was so peaceful but is instead used as a cudgel to resist all change today by claiming that activists aren't "doing it right".
I found most people are not aware that documentaries have a scenario (screenplay). The author comes with the vision and what he wants to say before shooting any frame. I'd argue that the difference between a movie and a documentary is the documentary has a clear agenda (and that agenda is 99% of the time left wing for historical and structural reasons)
Is there anything that didn't eventually jump out of academia into "real life"? If you can control academia you control everything.

I think it's interesting to consider how wokism came to be so prevalent in academia, even if it seems like it should be a small niche. Sociologists should be able to find the roots of that shift, i think a lot of it has to do with increased (and sometimes unjustified) focus on the role of women in academia, and the need to accomodate more immigrants than ever before. There might even be deeper reasons that only Carl Jung could identify.

> “What you’re seeing is Gen Z or young millennials basically engaging in this collective war against the boomers and the Gen Xers who actually run the organisations,” says Antonio García Martínez

I think that's the wrong way to explain it. The case is that GenZ are using the GenXers who are running this institutions to impose their however-fringe opinions on others of their own generation. GenZ do not appear to defy the power structures that were built in academiadecades and decades ago. Things like closed academic publishing or funding allocation have not been overhauled despite the existence of alternatives. Progress in these seems to follow the regular pattern of one funeral at a time

Not at all because it isn't native to the platform.

These solutions use the native SDKs of the platform directly.

So you are e.g. using Java/Kotlin on Android and Swift/Objective-C on iOS.

React native brings JavaScript and VM for the ride.
I agree that teaching kids to be critical of one sliver of reality, while uncritically absorbing anything from another sliver is a pedagogical crime. What we ought to be teaching is critical thinking.

The way “American values” have come to dominate America is upsetting. It used to be a diverse country with very different social geography in different regions. Now it’s mostly strip malls, chain stores and freeways, and most of it looks the same.
I think you're redefining things. Since no amount of contrition abates the condemnation, there is an absence of forgiveness. Powerlessness doesn't abate the condemnation either, after all.

Instead, these people who refuse to forgive do so because they feel that forgiveness has been used to excuse abuse (read broadly) and to keep abusers in power. In other words, it's all about power, and forgiveness just doesn't feature.
> Interesting note is that I seem to be significantly faster at re-learning things each time I go back to it, but that might just be constant repetition more than anything.

No more tech talk, implementation talk on closed software and dark pattern designed products by any company.

Apple is using its market leader in "user convenience" position to normalize on device user behavior analysis and data processing and active policing. This is madness.

I expect police and three letter agencies to use their own hacking tools and budget. I will not pay the bill on a multiple levels to be monitored and classified. Yes you can vote with your wallet as first reaction, as second you can push your representatives for political and legislative reaction.

They are called smart for a reason. Because we are becoming stupider.

Start self-hosting and local backups, there are tech savvy people who are moving away from surveillance state and building more private and sustainable future for themselves.

Apple is the big writing on the wall. They act as political entity now, the users are their voters and as a classic politics move they are selling the audience to the highest bidder.

Checks and balances.
I really don’t get your argument at all. Testosterone and other androgens can increase masculine features. In a purely statistical sense gender and sexual apparatus are heavily correlated, but then I see gender as being more of a spectrum than a binary anyway. I think these things can be influenced by the environment a lot, if you believe you’re a bunch of chemical reactions happening in a biological system how can what we be anything apart from hormones, genetics and culture interacting to express a gender?
There is a significant difference in that woke, like SJW, is for the most part a derogatory term. It would be as if the word "christian" was a word created by athiests specifically to refer to those who did not practice what they preached. Any discussion of the merits of "wokeness" is approaching the subject in a biased and unproductive way.

I would suggest that those you would describe as woke have, on average, just as much belief in the importance of mercy and grace as you do, and would likely believe they have more. The difference is who is seen as worthy of that grace and mercy. Is it grace to allow someone who has made unwanted sexual advances in the workplace a second chance? Or is it mercy to those who were victimized to remove the problem? Obviously this is a crude and simplified example, as examples often are, but it illustrates the point.
