This sort of reminds me of the whole thing with lockdowns

1) It is noted that governments could, in theory, be requiring and enforcing lockdowns not because they're scientifically better for public health. Widely dismissed as silly and "anti-science".

2) Some scientists come out in opposition of lockdowns, evidence from other countries shows that lockdowns don't help, both get banned/censored or painted as lunacy.

3) Years later, it becomes public knowledge that lockdowns did not in fact help, and countries that had zero lockdown policy did just the same as those that did. It is also too hard to know what went through exactly and to hold people accountable, technically everyone was complicit.

4) The situation persists because it is convenient to the people in charge.

5) It gets turned turned on political dissidents. If a government wants to get rid of your noise, they can paint you as an endangerment to public health and suggest to the public to "cancel" you by banning or by being painted as a "conspiracy theorist".

Australia is following this plan almost to the letter at the moment. People getting arrested for not wearing a mask while they're with their daughters and government officials "advising" the public not to talk to their neighbors and to avoid interacting with them socially, even in public, and even if wearing a mask.

People are still treating this like "oh we don't know what's going on" or "it's still dangerous" while in a few decade or so, the way we're headed (if nothing changes) seems to be a form of soft-occupation by CCP ideology. It'll be too late to change anything, and then people wonder how can the Australian government pass a bill that allows police to add, delete, and modify your data during an investigation.
But that's not the whole story. Kids are also very malleable, open to peer pressure and easily assume identities that earn them acceptance by their peers.
He said "cases", though, not "people". I'm not sure if you can say that you have a case without treatment or diagnosis.

Anecdotally, in the startup where I worked there was one summer in 2017 when 3 white women (a significant percent of the women in the office at the time) all suddenly came out as non-binary and asked to be called they/them. If that's not some kind of freaky bandwagon thing going on then I don't know what is. It was like a competition to see who could get the most oppression points or something. Now I'm in a different company, with a lot of folks who are pretty clearly biologically female claiming the non-binary identity. Most confusing of all to me are the non-binary people who still self-describe as lesbians. Do they think gender is a thing or not?

I'm expecting a pretty harsh backlash against all this gender politics at some point. I'm not sure when or how it will manifest, but even some of my LGB friends privately tell me they think it's gone too far. For the most part, though, they are too afraid to say anything in public because they don't want to get attacked and possibly lose their jobs over it. It's clear that the gender radicals have wielded online bully tactics to gain full control over the range of acceptable discourse.

LGBT are often portrayed as some kind of monolithic entity in mainstream media, but the reality is that there's a lot of ideological tension in the mix between the cis and trans people. The only place I see these tensions spilling into the open is in the UK, where the LGB Alliance and Stonewall organizations are at odds. Wondering when the same will happen in the US.

Let me lay out the tension for those who may not be familiar. On the one side you have LGB people who mostly say their sexuality is immutable and based on attraction to specific sexes. "Baby, I was born this way" in the words of Lady Gaga. As an example, maybe you're a lesbian which means a woman who is attracted to other women; for most of history this was understood to mean a person of the female sex attracted to another person of the female sex. Meanwhile you have trans activists trying to stretch the meaning of words like "man" and "woman" to the point that they don't really mean anything anymore. Anybody can be a woman if that's how they identify today, which has the effect of broadening what it means to be a lesbian in a way that some lesbians may not agree with. The status quo today is that if you're a lesbian and not willing to include the "female penis" in your sexual orientation, you're at risk of being called a TERF/transphobe. This seems like an irreconcilable difference of views.

Despite what you might think if you've read this far, I do not hate trans people. I have sympathy for them and whatever lack of self-acceptance has led them into their current path. I make an effort to use preferred pronouns and be respectful to those I work with. But I'm also extremely concerned about what the collateral damage to LGB people will be when Republicans capitalize on woke extremism at the ballot box.

You gain something from taxes, like police to protect your big pile of money and villa. But from this scanning you gain nothing , Apple could have scan iCloud and caught the evil guys already if they exist so you can't claim that the society benefits from this when it could have implemented exactly like Google does it a few years ago.
> On a related point, what I’m uncertain about are the reasons for the increase in transgender kids in the west.

Broad acknowledgement (though there remains some sharp and often violent denial, so while better than the best the current situation isn’t at the limit of this) that gender identity can differ from socially ascribed gender and that such a difference is cause for realigning socially ascribed gender to gender identity means that people whose gender identity differs from their socially ascribed gender both are likely to have:

(1) a framework for understanding the source of their discomfort that would not exist absent the degree of acceptance, and

(2) a license to identify their understanding of the source of their discomfort to others that woud not exist without the degree of acceptance, and

(3) a hope of relief that would not exist without the social norm of realigning ascribed gender to match gender identity.

Naturally, this means that more people aren’t just going to keep quiet and attempt to fit into the box society has assigned them at whatever pain it takes, as would previously have been the case because there was no visible alternative.

> but it was also a time when society encouraged the view of everyone being unique and mysterious and don't put labels on things.

I'm glad, for your sake, that you felt like this about society, but I can assure you that at no time that any living person grew up was it the case; and, particularly, the labels put on those who failed to outwardly conform to gender norms tended to be quite harsh.

> I appreciate it’s a bit of a stretch but in some ways it does feel now in society there is a growing pressure to box people’s identities in more.

That’s, literally, the opposite of the case.
Being feminine is not "totally a-ok" for men. Please talk to some men and ask if they enjoy being called feminine. I guarantee you most if not all (Straight) men would hate someone saying they're feminine.

If you don't believe me, flip it around and think about how a woman would feel if someone told them they act like a man. Most would not take kindly to it.
It most definitely isn't "in the same way". Not even "privacy slumlord supreme" Google dared scan files on your device.

Yes, they scan stuff in the cloud (we all know this) as does Microsoft OneDrive / Outlook, Facebook, Dropbox, etc. but none of them dared to add code on your device to look at your private data.
Why wouldn't Mohammed adopt the same approach and refuse to speak to you?

Also, IQ is fundamentally flawed. Perhaps your innate abilities (and acquired prejudiced) aren't a substitute for following contemporary research on intelligence?

Is the mount option needed for backwards compat? Any system that creates that many files, should be large file aware, hopefully? Maybe it comes down to many files being created (and deleted) during the lifetime of the tmpfs mount, i.e usage time, not size, without any counter reset.

A system that uses "our identifier space is approximately infinite" can be fragile in a surprising way. A system that uses "our identifier space is proportional to the physical size of the medium" is more humanly predictable in its limitations.
You do realize at the very least that even if that is true of some words, it's not necessarily true of all words?
> To be able to use it, commuters register in the Moscow subway app, upload a photo of their face, and attach their bank card. Once the user approaches turnstiles, the camera recognizes the face (even if the person is wearing a mask), the fare is debited from their account, and the pay gate opens. The whole process takes two or three seconds. But customers can still pay the old-fashioned way, too.

What strikes me as odd here is that the user only uploads a picture and that the system also works if the user is wearing a mask. How accurate can such a system be considering you can’t even make out a shape of the person’s face or with many masks even the bridge of the nose?
>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.

Masculine plural is used as gender neutral for Spanish. Latinos already refers to both genders.

Even fringe social groups that disagree with using the masculine for neutral terms (which are already a huge minority, since grammatical gender is everywhere in Spanish and it doesn't imply anything -a chair is female and a wall is make) Ignore the x. They would use the e for neutral (latine), an @ symbol in writing, or just use the long form (Latinos y Latinas).

The x is an American invention that is unknown in the culture it tries to adapt and also not pronounceable in that language.

Hippies get a little too excited about the mind of the crystal and spirits inhabiting rocks and communicating through etherial protocols too, yet here we are in 2021, programming and communicating with silicon CPUs and wireless internet smartphones ensconced in shiny layers of Gorilla Glass that we obsessively carry around with us everywhere and continuously gaze into and hold up at each other and rub and tap on and talk and listen to.
The question would be, how many people who declare up front that they're transgender are actually medically diagnosed with such condition and how many just jumped on the bandwagon of what is fancy on the internet right now?

Disclaimer - personally, I'm sceptical about the concept and scientific grounds behind transgenderism and I expect my comment to be downvoted.
Sure, but as soon as you start naming names, it's pretty obvious that a lot of the people proposing alternative pronouns that don't really catch on or making claims about their workplace are little-known ordinary middle class people without any real power, and some of the people declaring "war on woke" own media empires and sit in parliaments. Which places a different complexion on the "divide and conquer"...
To add to this, trial and error is the cornerstone of how we acquire any scientific knowledge.
Pretty scary that believing in racial segregation is no longer a fringe belief. In any case, you can’t tell me with a straight face that white people who believe in segregation, in the US, envision a society where there is no power imbalance between ethnic groups. These people want white people to be in charge, which is what white supremacy means in practice.

Doesn't matter how "cushy" it is or how big your paycheck is if you're depressed and going insane. That's the point.
I think you're roughly correct. 49% doesn't automatically become 51% purely through the PoS process. But if the owner of 49% of the coin goes out and buys an additional 2% on the market, then they have a majority of the coins and it's all over.

It's not guaranteed to happen, but does seem plausible that some single entity could end up with 51% sometime in the future. Or a group could band together to form a majority and steal everyone else's money.

It does become harder to prevent a coup over time. As more coins are issued the cost to buy a 1% stake increases but the cost to maintain a 1% stake does not.
>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.

I see two issues in Spanish, one in English, and two in general.

The only viable way to read this word in Spanish would be /latinks/, and it's against the language's phonotactics. So if you must replace the gender mark with something else, you'd need to use a vowel (cue to "Latines").

It is not necessary though, simply because grammatical gender is not social gender. There are a thousand ways to conceal the gender of someone in Spanish - refer to "la persona" (always feminine, no matter if you're referring to a man), plurify (the plural will take the masculine for mixed groups), so goes on. Or even, you know, use the default grammatical masculine, like the RAE recommends? Granted the RAE is a bunch of pedants but they're spot on in this case.

In English it sounds even more spurious. There's "Latin" already, why the hell are you adding a gender mark that doesn't exist in the language and then replacing it with yet another?

While this, one of the general issues I see is that we Latin Americans don't really identify ourselves by this sort of catch-all label. We have a bunch of local identities - using an equivalent for "the other side", calling us "Latins" (with -o, -a, -x or whatever) is like talking about the ethnic Germanic culture of Canada, Suriname, Jamaica, USA and Belize, as if they had a lot to do with each other.

The other issue I see is related to the above: who are the people using that word to identify themselves? Dunno about you, but I think they're just a bunch of Americans conflating heritage with identity. Every time I see someone claiming to be "latino" on the internet, I'm almost tempted to say "you are not one of us, stop lying" because of that. It's the same deal as the "Italians" from New York, or the "Irish" from who cares.
With any commercial software security matters. You don't want your licensing solution to be craked by editing a file.

Anything that connects to any server or has any sort of networking.

Anything that needs privileges (like installing drivers) needs security.

Anything that reads/interpeds any data given to it needs to have security.

Of course this all depends what you mean by "matter". I can't come up with a program that doesn't need to think about security at all expect something trivial like hello world.
I think they're pretty neutral. Perhaps your own stance has shifted away from the center instead? Something to consider.
On the first point, a ~recent (2020) poll suggests most Latino people don't even know that "Latinx" is a word. Your post contradicts itself somewhat there. It says "the media are going crazy" over "woke stuff", but seems to make the assumption that "Latinx" is being actively pushed on Latino people, which seems like it isn't true--since if it were, far more of them would actually know it was a word. I suspect the prevalence of "Latinx" in the media is largely due to its being held up so frequently as an example of the putative derangements of wokeness (there are several examples of this in this thread).

On the second point, I simply don't know enough about the specifics of that debate, and I can't read German.

I remain convinced that corporations specifically show token support for social-progressive issues because they see some benefit to it; that is, they see some amount of broad support for these ideas in society.
Apple have the key to read your photos, they probably are even encrypted since you can view them from browsers, so this is fake news. They could have scanned the images on the server at the moment you uploaded them, they could have reported CSAM to the authorities and catch the bad guys.

I want the proof that Apple is unable to scan on the server, that they don't have the keys and the only solution is on device scanning.
This is the case.

The iOS APIs to obtain details about the current WiFi network environment are extremely limited. I suppose it’s because ad networks were using these to fingerprint the user or obtain their location using WiFi access points as a proxy for it.

> why wouldn't they parrot things like woke pronouns

Because different languages have different pronouns. You don't adopt function words into your language the same way you can adopt content words (unless you're, for example, code switching, but even then you don't switch for a single function word).

The question was clear enough: per the article tmpfs is able to track two distinct files with the same inode number, implying it does not use the inode internally to differentiate between files

uBlock Origin is one of the 18 extensions that are pre-approved for use in Firefox for Android. To use any other add-ons from addons.mozilla.org, you'll need to use Firefox Nightly (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fe...) and follow these instructions:

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio...

Alternatively, you can use Fennec F-Droid, a fork of Firefox that supports a "Custom Add-on collection" by default: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

I'm not sure why Mozilla is refusing to allow these extensions on the Beta channel, since the WebExtensions support is definitely stable enough for Firefox Beta.
If that is your concern, just use the noun. “The politician made a statement to the press. The politician was shocked.” Or if that is too inelegant, reformulate the sentence: “The politician expressed his shock to the press.” Or use the verb to carry the information that you are referring to the singular: “They was shocked.”, but I guess that would be painful to read for some native English speakers.
How can you blame a kernel panic on an unprivileged userspace program? That doesn't make sense. I.e., Firefox can maybe trigger a kernel panic, but the blame lies either with the kernel or, indeed, with defective hardware.

You can look at the political compass the Libertarians are always using. Then you learn that Stalin is a left-authoritarian and Hitler is a right-authoritarian and the lesson is that all authoritarianism is a hellscape.

But even that is just a toy model. If Alice is pro-choice and anti-gun, those are in opposite quadrants. If Bob is the exact opposite, do we say that they're both in the middle, even though they disagree on everything?

> In my country the furthest "right" mainstream party would sit a mile to the left of your democrats while the republicans would be considered "extreme right" bordering on illegal.

The thing about the US is that the federal government is a kleptocracy, so both parties never actually do the things they say they're going to do.

If you judge the Democrats by what they say, they're pretty far to the left. But then they don't do that.

If you judge the Republicans by what they say, they're pretty far to the right. But then they don't do that.

People who want to claim that the country is far to the right then point to what the Democrats actually do and what the Republicans say they want to do. But, for example, the US has government spending as a percentage of GDP in line with the Netherlands or Australia and not dramatically less than the UK or Germany. If you take all the law books full of regulations in the US and put them on a scale, not many countries could match them. If you go back to the political compass, it's maybe more authoritarian than some of Western Europe -- certainly more people are in prison -- but left vs. right? By what objective measure?
