It's not quite that simple, in that it's not a nonsensical statement that there's no difference between the biological sexes as the zealots on the opposing side perceive it to be.

It's more that the cultural perceptions and behaviors are socially constructed. The foundations of all of this are in Judith Butler (not coincidentally at Stanford) and Michel Foucault (not coincidentally French). In terms of race these two intersect (pun intended) with Kimberle Crenshaw.

You're on to the crux of the issue with the word "forces" though, because the abstract consideration of all of these things is a question of power and coercion. So people who find themselves at odds with the proposed new norms would be wise to read these foundational texts to understand where their adversaries are coming from.

In terms of race, this crosses paths with gender theory in the ideas of a professor named Kimberle Crenshaw, whose ideas were used to make the "preferential treatment" case back in a round of General Motors layoffs specifically, in which it was argued that by virtue of belonging to multiple disadvantaged groups, black women who were to be laid off from factory jobs were being unfairly persecuted (because the layoffs were done by seniority due to the union contract, and due to segregation and gender discrimination it was impossible for women or black people to have seniority at the time).

Which of course is true, on the surface. It was impossible for women, and black women in particular, to have seniority as GM factory workers. But it is all a very overt exercise in intentionally disregarding the root cause of the factory layoffs, and in any case was predictably rejected by the US courts who refused to oppress one group instead of another in court rather than in commerce. Similar court cases have failed for similar reasons in the EU. The fact that she was challenging a union contract in court is why she works at any Ivy League school which is funded by corporations who very much do not like union contracts. Similarly, tech companies sending out transgender employees to do their most publicly distasteful deeds (like Microsoft recently did with the .NET foundation) is not coincidental to Judith Butler being at Stanford. If Judith Butler's ideas were not amenable to the goals of west coast corporations Judith Butler wouldn't be at Stanford.

The root cause of the factory layoffs in the intersectionality case is the US empire post-WW2 had devalued its own currency to finance misguided and short-sighted wars like Korea and Vietnam. And the ruling class of the US was not going to pay for its own failed policies, it wanted its employees to pay and that's precisely what Jimmy Carter gave said ruling class, in the form of Paul Volcker.

All of this is worth looking at in considering how these cultural theories have managed to position themselves so favorably in the eyes of corporations and 3 letter government security/surveillance agencies. Culture wars are a grand misdirection, employed by corporations and governments to turn people to any sort of conflict that minimizes the class conflict which they truly fear.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I do listen to shoegaze from time to time but didn't know that this was how it was first implemented.
> For me, there's a hierarchy of needs here. First, destitution must end, then we can talk about equality. But ultimately, if the world is extremely unequal, but no one is destitute, then that economic system is good. And we're very close to that by continuing with current trends

This strikes me as an excellent way to put it, and is really at the core of why I look upon “alternative solutions” with a cynical eye.

Every proposal I’ve seen results in limiting overall wealth of our society. That just doesn’t pass the smell test for me.

To put it another way - it’s far easier for a wealthy society to achieve equality than it is for an equal system to achieve wealth.

Ironically, this seems to more closely mirror the writings of Marx than the goals of the self-described Marxists I’ve encountered.

It wasn't an insult, it was a critique. Any economy built on promises that can be thrown out at will is just a house of cards. Where do you even start with that? That's just one thing, the article is filled with half thought out premises that when taken to their conclusion fall apart. In reality it is the author making serious accusations that require evidence, not my critique.
PAKE also means one more thing that can break and one more library (actually two libraries, unless you're running Node) that can have serious security issues.

Those are tradeoffs, and the purism of never handling red data doesn't necessarily offset its costs. Especially in a small organization. If you're going to spend N hours on security, what's going to give you the biggest bang for your buck? PAKE would hardly crack my top 20, honestly. Are you confident your deps are updated quickly after CVEs are published? Is your server's kernel up to date? Are you sure your security group configuration is correct right now? Do you have lint rules to protect against XSS issues? PAKE makes a really bad issue slightly less bad, but there's thousands of things that you could be doing that meaningfully prevent issues in the first place.

If 0.5% of your users get a JavaScript exception from the PAKE library, are you confident that you can fix it? What's the cost of those users not being able to log in (and/or churning)?

When it comes to low hanging fruit at most small businesses, handling of plaintext passwords delivered over a secure connection is small potatoes compared to the myriad of other serious security challenges you're likely facing.
Not sure about this specific implementation but normally you handle this with approximations that support merging. i.e HyperLogLog

What an ignorant blowhard Cory Doctorow is.

"This is a great strategy in light of US anittrust [sic] theories over the past 40 years, during which time antitrust regulators promised to leave companies alone as they formed monopolies, provided they didn't hike price after attaining monopoly dominance."

No, Cory, that's not what happened and there was no "promise." The new theory of anti-trust was "consumer harm." Hiking prices is certainly one form of that, but so was forming a monopoly. Microsoft was prosecuted for forming a monopoly and reducing consumer choices.

"Google's true operating costs aren't captured by adding up its salaries and servers – a correct accounting must include the costs of acquiring companies and with them, patents. That's the cost Google must incur, if is to retain its power."

No, Cory, those are not "operating costs," those are called "capital costs." They're treated real differently in Accounting.

I was part of this "acquire patents" effort at Google. I actually interviewed people to be in Legal whose job would be to acquire patents. The theory (since discarded) was that a heavy patent portfolio would give you a better negotiating position if you were sued. There was no thought of actually asserting these patents against Microsoft, or anyone.

I actually used some of our internal tools to assess our patent portfolio. Most of those Motorola patents were worthless.
The way users of v2 effect the safety of v3 and the tor project is in terms of directory and resources, etc, and potential exhaustion attacks native to v2. But with porting and some work most of this could be mitigated. The safety of the hash and the length used couldn't but there still isn't a real world example of a collision in use. It's pretty drastic to entirely throw away 15 years of inter-linking, indices, etc when <5% of users (probably less) of onion services have switched to v3.

As systems get more complex, cracking/emulating them gets more effort.

We already see this in old stuff. DOS games run great in dosbox, because the IBM PC was pretty simple. Same with the gameboy, snes, etc.

When you get to more modern things like Windows 98 games, PS3 games, xbox360 games... Most of those are much harder to emulate/crack/archive. They have more complex copy protection schemes, interact more deeply with their OS and hardware, and emulating them is generally more effort.

The next gen of stuff will interact with closed source now-defunct servers. Re-implementing those servers is very much possible... but a massive amount of effort. Effort that won't happen for most products ever.
I do think that when someone is very successful and has a reputation, others are more likely to try to tear them down, maybe from a sense that the success or reputation is not deserved.

This is pretty specific to slow cooking meat.

There's lots of good ways to slow cook meat. I think slow cookers(aka Crockpots) have a lot of downsides. If I've got 8 hours to cook a piece of meat, I've probably got the time to sous vide, which I think gives better texture. If I had a smoker, I'd go that way for the flavor and texture. I'd rather braise in the oven as well.

Crockpots are easy, and leave the oven free, but I think too often give a universal mushiness to many cuts. They can be used well for long meat cooks, but it's more difficult than it seems.

For a bigger upfront purchase I think a pressure cooker is the better option for most. It's great to be able to pull off beans from dry in an hour, or high quality stock on an hour. A lot of the pressure cookers have slow cooker functionality built in, as well. Pressure cooked meats can have a different texture than traditionally cooked ones, but it's not as objectionable in my mind.

If you liked the post thoughtfully linked here, Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking is a must.

Yeah, it's not a shortage. It's bank policy to mitigate the risk of bank runs. What bothered me was the 24hr (or 48 hr in my case) notice requirement. That day I learned that my money is only actually mine (in the sense that I can use it as I please) if the bank decides to allow me.

As time goes on, those dollar maximums and notice periods are malleable and completely outside my control.
> But why is that trans people's problem? A predator is a predator and should be dealt with as such.

One inconsistency I've noticed with people making this kind of argument is that they don't extend it to cisgender men. If we don't intend to protect against predators on a demographic basis then why have sex-or-gender-segregation at all?
> This already exists, they are called cooperatives, many of them actually work pretty great. Try to guess what happens when they grow and they need to hire employees...

They continue to operate. Mondragon has 80,000 worker owners. And yes, it has a challenge in recent years where the worker owners have created a class of non-owner employee. But it got pretty big before that started happening, and there's no reason to believe it wouldn't continue to function just fine if that wasn't an option.

There are many other worker cooperatives functioning very well at scale with zero non-owner employees. My proposal is essentially that we make this the requirement. That any business formed must be formed as a democratically run worker cooperative. This is perfectly actionable. Governments define the legal structures under which businesses may form today, and continue to regulate those structures. Right now, those structure enable the investor ownership relationship, and most worker cooperatives have to use those structures and bend them to allow the worker ownership relationship. It's a relatively straight forward legal matter (with wide ranging consequences) to change that structure.

> No banks, no loans, no credit cards. No way to protect against inflation with financial instruments as basic as a target-date fund.

Like I said, this is a thought experiment. Not fleshed out. And it's not the same as the proposal I outlined above for a worker cooperative based democratic socialism. I don't think you actually read my post, I suspect you just skimmed it and then reacted to certain sentences.

I'm surprised you can't see that this counter-article is just plain old FUD.

It should be a no-brainer that an operative system that is free, open, democratic, well documented and consisting of over 50,000 quality software packages---Debian, for example---is better than an OS which isn't any of those things.

Of course software is (also) about ideology. If you find yourself advocating putting more money in the pockets of the already super rich, or pretending that there isn't a digital part of human life where people have rights, well then obviously you have picked sides.

As someone who has done a lot of hacking with Linux as a desktop platform, one would be absolutely right to dismiss it. The desktop platforms on Linux are still heavily fragmented and in some ways are still decades behind Windows/Mac. The existence of a better compatibility layer to run Windows games doesn't really change this fundamental flaw. I personally don't think it will ever be fixed because this fragmentation seems to be the whole reason why people want to use Linux on a desktop. That's what I personally would say is meant by "the year of the Linux desktop will never happen".

To put it another way, It's not like the existence of some Steam games is going to suddenly make it so you can go into a Walmart and buy a machine with Arch or Slackware preinstalled on it.
Not all moral panics are the same. Some are based in reality, some are not. Pretending that just because this is also a moral panic in some sense, there is no truth value to it, is just as thick headed as you accuse others of being.

Great! All conferences should transition to having an online edition (in addition to an in-person event if there is demand). Not everybody can travel half way around the world to a conference. It's also often much more inclusive- personally I am much more comfortable pre-recording a talk or livestreaming a talk online than presenting in person.

500 years is too long for modern tech. You will definitely need many copies of different types of storage, down to atomic-level records such as DNA. GitHub's Arctic Code or Amazon vault looks like the first Godzilla computers, but you're asking for a "500-years PC".

Perhaps there will be a technology that allows you to write site files in the DNA directly of your children and run a micro-DNA web server in the body, and your grandchildren can surf on your Internet data in the brain.
The Cold War propaganda machine messed with a couple of generations' minds. Thatcher aside, I think maybe such propaganda was not as severe in the UK? You guys did have the community building exercise of rebuilding after the war, where in the US we immediately built the suburbs and began our decent into a Cowboy Individualist fever dream.

Here you'll hear the same things over and over:

"My (friend) was working at (someplace) and had to wait (2 hours | half a day) for a Union Electrician to plug in an electrical cord!" (Who cares! You got a free break! Enjoy the time slacking!)

"Unions are corrupt!" (Ignoring the difference of scale of corruption in the corporate world vs a union)

"I am paid because of my productivity! I am a Super-Worker! I resent the people who simply punch the clock at their CAREER." (Here you have wage slaves who were given a salary+perks and have been swindled into thinking that they have common ground with the Capitalist Class. Dividing workers into hierarchical groups is a old and great way to insure against any movement towards solidarity.)

and on and on... but in the US, every argument against any form of worker solidarity you'll see the complete absence of consideration of the abuses and priorities of the Capitalist Class. It's never workers vs ownership over here. It's workers versus the narcissistic individual "Top-Performer" (self-described).

IMO, just reset the phone to factory before you head to the airport, and leave it that way as long as you are in a jurisdiction that makes you think your phone is in danger of being searched. Restore from a backup when you get home.

If you do get searched, give them the phone and let them search it.
Well that just sounds like most US jobs (i.e. at-will employment).

And if the point is that you're clarifying with your employer that you're looking for an exit (even if it's not immediate) it probably means the employer (and maybe you are helping) is interviewing for your replacement with the goal of eventually finding it. Hence my curiosity that it's been 2 years and they haven't got a new CTO.
