Now it’s making the jump to K-12. My second grader is apparently learning how to develop an “identity” around her “skin tone” (according to an email from her teacher). This has had the predictable effect of making my daughter unhappy with her dark skin. Kids are perceptive. Her teacher is making a big deal out of skin tone and how society sees dark skinned people as inferior, and naturally she wonders why society might pervasively believe it if it wasn’t true. (She goes to a progressive, diverse, private school in deep blue Maryland, so she’s not developing this sentiment from the other kids. I went to a very white, quite red Virginia public school 30 years ago and nobody ever told me about brown skin being bad.)

Anyone who objects to this sort of teaching—not just teaching history, to be clear, but teaching woke concepts—is attacked as a Republican: https://www.vox.com/22644220/critical-race-theory-bans-antir...

> In early June, Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed a bill that restricts what teachers can teach in K-12 schools and at public universities, particularly when it comes to sexism and racism. It bans 10 concepts that Republican legislators define as “divisive,” including the idea that “one race or sex is superior to another,” that members of a particular race are inherently inclined to oppress others, and that “the U.S. and Iowa are fundamentally racist or sexist.”

> 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.

May off-topic, but it might be interesting to note that 'christian' was similarly not something the Christians called themselves, but were derisively called that by others as in "followers of Christ or Messiah' alluding to the fact that they followed Jesus who proclaimed himself as messiah but was killed in a pitiful way in their eyes. The Christians actually called themselves "people of The Way"

--

You make a good point that when starting with a derogatory term does not lead to a productive debate. How would the 'woke people' define themselves?

For example, justice is not a new concept. It exists in every society, even the most primitive ones. So, justice as we have it in the US or West, could be seen as derived from English Common Law, which in turn was derived from the Bible's Judeo-Christian origins. Since the times and the culture of the people had changed, the laws itself have evolved.

So, what should 'social justice' bring to the table? Are there opponents of these woke actions that agree with the perpetrators of sexual harassment? If not, why are we debating an area we are in full agreement?
That's fair. I guess a better answer would be "Apple should not be trying to stop the exploitation of children by looking at user's data."

But what else could they meaningfully do?
I consider myself really lucky that my parents spoke to me in different languages. Quite a few of my cousins regret only learning how to speak English. I can still speak 2 of the languages they taught me but I've almost completely forgotten Italian. Like the author, I guess my parents didn't really see the need to speak it when they moved to Canada but I can kind of understand it still.
I’m sure you’ve seen a large volume of research involving cross linking and such related to keratoconus. It’s my hope that in the future we find patients like yourself well before they have progressed to later stages and have therapies affordable enough to prevent further progression.

Edit: I forgot to mention but newer techniques for corneal transplant are within reach, and current techniques in the right hands are very successful at giving usable vision.

Best of luck!

The practice of Christianity is primarily about repentance. We none of us have full control over our behaviour but we always have the ability to correct our hearts by swallowing our pride and accepting divine forgiveness. And we are obliged to forgive others who have repented.

Wokeness doesn't understand this. It sees people, woke and Christians both, as hypocrites. And we are! This is because it's necessary to advocate ideal moral standards, even the ones we ourselves are incapable of meeting.

However, if someone posts 'hate speech' somewhere this will always be held against them by the woke. So, yes, wokeness does not forgive. There is no mercy.

Not. This is the lowest level of knowledge in biology. It is taken for granted that everybody here has studied basic histology at the school. This are true facts, proven since hundreds of years by thousands of researchers. I can't lose any time explaining that 2+2=4.

We can't change the truth just to make somebody feel better with their ideas. If you want to modify the entire field of life sciences, okay, perfect... but it is your duty to show me the proofs, not mine to prove you that something does not exist.

And metaphysical opinions or science fiction films aren't proofs. There are lots of inert things able to conduct electricity. I dare you to show me neuron cells, dendrites, neuroglial cells, ganglions or something remotely similar to an animal brain in an histological preparation of a fungus tissue.

I’d imagine the limiting factor in all of these is still functionality of these organs. We can reorganize them to look somewhat like the actual organ (like in the linked article), but whether or not the organ functions the same is still under much investigation.
I've given this style an honest shot and I simply don't like it. I think the combinators themselves are incredibly useful, but I need them spelled out. Hooks and forks are `<*>` and `liftA2` respectively in Haskell, and I reach for them all the time. Certainly more verbose than J or Dyalog, but still suitable for one liners. It's a Goldilocks level of information density for me.

Kids need to be socialized in the ideas and values that make their civilization successful. Critical thinking is one piece of that, but we focus too much on it in elite environs. We also need to teach kids to tend to the edifice of civilization we’ve built, not just how to tear pieces of it down.
Same here. It’s not a priority for career development but viewed as a perk
Christian dominance in Europe coincided with a period of several centuries where European explorers and colonialists also had far better ships and firepower than everyone else. Other cultures that attempted the same thing never had a monopoly on global reach. Thus, things like Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, the Persian Empire, Islamic Caliphate, they were all inherently regional, even if they managed to span very large regions. European Christians were the first to be able to do this while having trans-oceanic shipping capabilities.

It's not to say it'll be permanent or anything. All cultures and religions eventually don't exist any more. Christianity will be no different.

It's also not to say Christianity is uniquely evil or anything. I don't believe that at all. But I don't find it particularly convincing to try and contrast some unique lack of charity toward non-believers on the part of wokeness with "I, as a Christian." Christianity may exist in the world at large for many reasons, possibly even the minuscule chance there is some small kernel of non-literal truth in the claim that believing Jesus Christ was the human incarnation of God sent to Earth so he could sacrifice himself to himself to redeem mankind of the otherwise unforgivable sin of being descended from people who ate a special fruit somewhere in Mesopotamia 6,000 years ago, and accepting this truth is the only way to avoid spending eternity being engulfed by metaphorical flame, but it certainly only exists in the Americas because of cultural and literal genocides committed against the non-Christian people who were already here before you.

It's the only reason I have a Spanish name and Catholic family. And I don't resent it. It's the way history works. It's fine. But I don't want to see Christians or anyone else sitting on some high horse pretending they're uniquely charitable and graceful, and it's only those other people who are your ideological enemies that are the real fascists. Step back for a few moments of strong self-reflection whenever you feel yourself being seduced by that belief. It goes for the woke, too. I'm not saying they're great, either, but they haven't forcefully conquered four remote continents yet.
You know, perhaps there are more ways you could conceive of freedoms at stake here than just the narrow freedom of speech issue you’re flagging.
I used to use this tool to mess with my college computer class professor. Me and a buddy installed it on the teachers computer that she used to instruct the class. We did mostly innocent stuff like closing windows or messing with the browser a bit. Occasionally we would reboot her computer when it was close to the end of class and we didn’t want to start something new. We’re both still coders to this day.
I don’t think it’s most everywhere in Atlanta because I lived there until 2 years ago (I still visit regularly), and it wasn’t the norm anywhere I regularly went. Atlanta is a big place, so I’m sure there’s room for variation.
Wrote about this as a college senior for my computer security class. Spent a day or two in the TAMU computer lab with that site prominently displayed… that was 22 years ago. I did set up 2 computers to demo how this worked as part of the presentation but never went much further than that. I seem to remember my report including hypothetical ways to use a tool I think was called silkworm or silk wrapper to disguise this as something else for distribution. Time flies.

Closed markets guarantee income. Apple products are not simply consumer devices, they're used by big box stores to handle inventory, many companies require them for specific apps/ecosystem. Apple and universities conspire against students to require the purchase of MacBooks and other apple hardware, paid for by funny money student loans, which ultimately ends up being tax payers footing the bill for apple hardware.

Apple is a company reliant on public tax payer dollars, and should be regulated as such.

It's also a function of being practical. Spending a lot of time thinking and worrying about what might go wrong in various scenarios would take enjoyment out of life. This is where people differ. Some are happy-go-lucky's, some are neurotic, most are somewhere in between. Worry about Covid shines a spotlight on these differences.
Wow. This brings back memories!
I think I’m woke, but it seems obvious to me that everybody has sexual preferences that go way beyond the gender of their partner. Some prefer tall and dark, some prefer petite blondes. Some people prefer big black and beautiful. How can we make moral judgement about people’s sexual preferences?

I guess the alternative would be that you have to be willing to have sex with everybody of your preferred sex? Are there people who actually think this?
It's reasonable to say that although strictly SI definitions changed (and will continue to be refined now that they're all in terms of a known constant, our certainty as to the value of these constants will gradually improve) in practice you don't care.

Take the kilogram for example, the definition of the kilogram drifted until the relatively recent decision to define it based on the Planck constant (because previously it used physical Prototypes and those are subject to change over time like any object), but the drift was tiny, less than 30ppm over centuries. If you have an ordinary mass of something, the drift in definition of the kilogram makes far less difference than inaccuracies of your measuring scales, dust settling on the object measured and other factors.

You don't in fact care whether that's a 1885 kilogram of potatoes or a 2021 kilogram of potatoes, because you won't be measuring potatoes to a precision where the difference matters.

In contrast you would presumably care whether you were served a US pint of beer of ~473ml or a UK pint of beer of ~568ml. Quite a difference to a hobbit at least.
Yes, and this is a challenge. And nothing will change until your refrigerator reports you to the police for having too much beer in your possession:) Than all the "nothing to hide" people will revolt.

> I have never heard of an employer that makes its employees only take whole weeks rather than a day here or there

This could be country-specific, but in investment banking it is common to require employees to periodically take an uninterrupted block of vacation (in my country, a two-week block once per year seems typical). The rationale is to make it more difficult to perpetuate certain types of fraud, since the bad actor would need to collude with another employee to cover up in their absence.

A bit of a corner case, but thought I'd mention.
> Go also happens to have a (rather insane, in my opinion) policy of reinventing its own standard library, so it does not use any of the standard Linux glibc code to call vDSO, but rather rolls its own calls (and syscalls too).

May I ask why you think this is insane? I think it's the most interesting thing about Go. It produces code that stands on top of the Linux kernel directly.

Are all languages doomed to be implemented in C and use ancient libc functions for everything?
Ah, yes. I used that to prank some friends when Windows/MSN Messenger started to be a thing. Good memories :-)
When you actively call for harm (civil suit + the danger that is getting an "illegal" abortion), don't be surprised when people kick you out. That's not a leftist takeover, that's a holy-shit-even-the-1800s-were-more-progressive-for-women takeover.
> So, while obviously objective exams aren't "meritocracy", they are without doubt more meritocratic than not having objective exams.

This is where we disagree dramatically. And this is why it is so frustrating to have people tell me that I "hate excellence" for supporting policy changes. By holding this assumption it enables you to both

1. Hold that meritocracy is an ideal

2. Conclude that people pushing for changes must oppose meritocracy

But I simply do not agree. To me, admissions exams are like the Leetcode interviews that people decry here. The test something, but that thing is largely disconnected from actual work and instead just becomes an obstacle course.

> If "these people" really wanted to move towards greater meritocracy (as opposed to abandoning meritocracy), they'd support things like, abolishment of "extracurricular activities" in college admissions, or legacy admissions, or maybe even things China's limit on the amount of tutoring kids can do (I personally thing this is both too extreme and ultimately counterproductive, but at least we can all agree that it's with the right goal in mind - increasing meritocracy).

I am involved in local politics to change the admissions program for a public magnet school. "Woke" activists proposed a merit lottery, a system where all students who met a minimum GPA and math-level requirement could be entered into a random lottery for admissions. This was criticized by opponents for being "anti-meritocratic" and even "racist against asians".

The eventually enacted policy maintains a "holistic" application, which does not consider race but does include these other topics. This received precisely the same criticism from opponents. Activists on the "woke" side preferred the merit lottery to this outcome.

So what I see here is that activists, at least in the situations that I am personally involved in, do support things like the abolishment of extracurricular activities in admissions systems.

I have been that external candidate. I saw a random job on USAjobs a few years ago that really seemed to fit all of my experience so I figured I would apply for the heck of it. Within a few hours the listing was withdrawn. Weird. Then the same thing popped up again and again over the next couple of weeks and I would apply and it was immediately withdrawn again.

Good to know what was really going with that now.

Except Apple already turned iCould on without really making a big deal about it, just up the storage while making everything automatic and nobody would have noticed.

This is “simply” Apple leveraging people’s phones to run perceptual hashes rather than paying for the servers to do it themselves. Which is why the outrage caught them off guard, from their perspective nothing changed governments have been spying like this since 2011.
