But both sides have large numbers of people who are still thinking “if only those idiots would see the light then of course we could Solve Everything!!” And who are willing to go to (political) war to force the "idiots" to do what they obviously should.

Within each side, there is hiding a position that genuinely cares about other people. But on both sides, the way it is pursued is very often to just try to run over the other side.
The point might be obvious but I wanted to highlight some non-obvious experiences I had.

I doubt it's a failure to imagine other lives.

I think it's probably deliberately appealing to people who are miserable and feel helpless to change their lives by, say, leaving their city for a rural life.

Not that it's helping them, but it's addressing them.

The reasons why it's impossible to move to a rural area and be done with it are left unstated.
It might have been courageous to take on that story, but Greenwald was also hilariously wrong. If he had bothered to talk to any subject matter expert, he wouldn't have gotten PRISM so incredibly wrong. The New York Times, CNET, etc. were able to get the story right just by being the slightest bit competent.
> Some of them do, actually. Some electronic voting systems craft proofs which are convincing to the voter, but only to the voter. This means that the voter can cryptographically verify that their vote has been cast correctly, but the voter wouldn't be able to convince a potential vote-buyer how they voted, because the voter could have potentially forged the proof.

You’re positing a situation where someone can force them to vote at a specific time and place and either watch them or have them send proof of how they voted on paper. How realistic is it to think that an electronic system wouldn’t be at least as vulnerable to that same attack, even before you consider the likelihood that an attacker with that much control could use their credentials to vote or verify their history, install spyware, etc.? It’s one thing to have a game theoretical chance to deniably cast a vote and quite another to, say, be confident enough that you’ll be able to convince an abusive spouse to believe you.

Mississauga has a density of 2467 people per square kilometer. Mississauga neighbourhoods look like this-

https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.5675623,-79.740886,916m/data=...

That isn't apartment building density, but that's about as dense as single family homes can get.

Mississauga had to raise property taxes somewhat -- still extremely competitive -- as a revenue source dried up. But those new neighbourhoods all easily pay for themselves in property taxes. Nonetheless, loads of really silly narrative comes out of Toronto writers, still foreboding this dire scenario that they've been pitching for well over a decade. It's a bit farcical at this point.

If you remember from the documentary the analysis of the movie They Live, the protagonist puts on the glasses in order to see the truth. For Zizek, the putting on (not taking off) of the glasses is crucial. It is specifically not a gesture of unmasking:

“The key feature here is that to see the true nature of things, we need the glasses: it is not that we should put ideological glasses off to see directly reality as it is”: we are “naturally” in ideology, our natural, immediate, sight is ideological.”

I can confirm the lawfirm side of things. Back when I cofounded an msp they were some of our best clients. Why? Because they all collude about pay stuff (illegal but what are you gonna do, sue all the best lawyers in town?) to the point where around 2008 they just started firing entire it departments and sysadmins thinking they could pay less for outsiders who could then be scapegoats if shit went wrong. The funny thing was that they not only spent more money on the msps and consultants, but got less work and machinery for it. Getting anything approved was like pulling teeth, especially in places where it all had to go to the partners first.

I appreciate my time working with some great lawyers because I learned so much and still have many useful contacts (do you know the best IP lawyer in your state?) but it really created a quiet seething distrust of lawyers and the legal system in general.

Ive never seen the worst people in society hailed as the paragons of the community as much as lawyers.

The biggest hospital gig I had was for the neurosurgeons and they got stuff done faster than any other hospital department because they had their own building, the pull, and the money to do so and due to stories I heard I just knew they were an outlier.
I don't know in what kind of fantasy world you live in.

Pretty much everywhere the dominating trend is people moving to cities in droves while the countryside degrades, because it cannot provide the services people want.

Can you name any city that has "irretrievably collapsed" in that way? Just one?
My decisive test to distinguish an idea from an ideology: “Does it matter if a person dies as a result of this idea”

“Does it matter if a poor person dies as a result of not finding a place to be employed in society” => Capitalist ideology

“Does it matter if a person dies as a result of not believing in Jesus” => Christian ideology (as opposed to simply being Christian)

“Does it matter if someone dies as a result of being vaccinated” => No? => Pro-vax ideology.

The opposite is true: “Does it matter if someone dies as a result of Covid” => No? => Antivax ideology.
I think a thought spent on crypto is a thought wasted.

Edit: “I would like them to say something like, ‘Any sentient creature from the material plane is like a human, in that they can be anything they want to be—good, bad, smart, or not so smart.’ And so races might dictate certain things like whether you have dark vision or a breath weapon, but they just don’t dictate your behavior.”

As in real life, so too it must be in fantasy, that the brain is the sole organ immune to genetics.

You really on an entire stack that is programmed and maintained in languages like C, and to the degree that these are provided for whatever chipset you are using, yes you can code in C++. And of course you expect these libs to be regularly patched and updated, and released as new platforms become available, etc.

I'm not saying "don't code in higher level languages". I'm saying that not everyone can code in higher level languages. There is a whole stack that needs maintenance and development.

I'm not the OP. They linked to a prior comment of theirs that makes their case in this specific instance. Their take may or may not be an overreaction.

However, commenting generally (with all the caveats that implies), it's abundantly clear from personal experience and the commentary of others that there are certain causes which have a habit of absorbing all the air in the room. You claim there is no basis for this observation. This Feedback Hub discussion gives us one example, where a "zero negative feedback!" mandate takes the air from things that would be more beneficial to (in this case) product quality.

In the OP's example, redefining words to have meaning contrary to their prior accepted usage is an example of air (or energy or attention or whatever you want to call it) being spent disproportionately, with quality suffering as a result.

To borrow an old metaphor, a falling tide grounds all boats. A cause, any cause, whether it's a zero negative feedback mandate or whatever, that lifts some boats while lowering the tide overall, will eventually leave every boat stranded, including the ones the cause is trying to save.
There are a couple of issues I see with this.

First, the security argument is nonsense in my opinion.
This "feature" only prevents an attacker from flashing a modified, malicious BIOS on to the server.

But: If an attacker manages to flash a new BIOS to your server, you're already lost. That either requires physical access (which is bad), or access to the OOB / BMC / IPMI (which is equally bad, because those usually have a remote KVM feature, so you could e.g. boot the OS into recovery mode)

It does not prevent any other attacks, because you could still swap out the CPU. The servers usually just quietly burn the CPUs, so you wouldn't notice if the CPUs were replaced by an attacker.

Second, this produces a lot of unnecessary e-waste. About 99% of all hardware (except HDDS) from datacenters is sold on the second hand market.
Locked CPUs are essentially worthlese, especially if buyers or sellers don't know and throw the CPU away because they think it's defective.

Third, this opens up a MASSIVE attack surface.
Imagine if somebody finds a bug im the PSP (Platform Security Processor, a CPU inside the CPU that handles the locking thing amon g other things) and is able to burn arbitrary keys into the CPU.
The attacker would randomly generate a key and burn them into the CPU.
You could permanently kill an entire datacenter with that within seconds.

Or if somebody manages to write a malicious BIOS version and flash it to servers which usually don't have a locked BIOS. This BIOS version would also burn a random key into the CPU with the same result:
You can easily permanently destroy an entire datacenter.

I think this is just AMD's greediness again in the cloak of "improving security"

Sadly, this is the type response I always get, around these parts, when I talk about things like kindness, integrity, honesty, and empathy.

In our industry, we get paid a lot, for our ages (I never made as much as even entry-level folks, these days, but I had plenty of money, and still do).

It's not my fault that so many people decide to live beyond their means. Many folks would be crazy grateful for the money we waste on frivolities.

I'm not a threat to anyone here. I live my life, the way I live it. I write the software I write, and I chronicle it here. There are alternative points of view, and alternative ways of living.

I'm almost deliriously happy, in my life now. I never understood how incredibly valuable it is, to be in a position, where my work is not getting turned into raw sewage, by clueless corporations.

There are other measures of success, in life, besides money.

This is accurate, and I'll add this issue also isn't necessarily about "woke culture" at all - the decision makers at these media companies are latching on to memes they think will drive viewership, and in doing so are amplifying questionable voices and poorly-thought-out content, because those decision makers can't tell the difference and likely don't care.

Being "woke" initially just meant acknowledgement of existing social stratification, and was a meme/label just like being a "Chad" or a "Karen". It was a simple state of being, which has been blown out of proportion by the trends OP outlined. Everything gets bastardized and watered down to the point where it isn't the same thing at all anymore. Now, were seeing amplification of people screaming "that's racist" at everything. I think most things deserve scrutiny, bit I agree the bar for that scrutiny needs to be much higher than the SA article.
I’ve basically stopped at my SEGA Saturn, gaming tech wise.

I used to carry a Game Boy Color from about when I was 20 to when I was 26.

At home, though; it’s strictly my SEGA, still. I don’t think I will ever evolve.

Bitcoin maxis literally go insane telling people to take their coins off exchanges. It's part of the dogma.
I disagree. I consider practical limitations and legal limitations to be not be a subset of the other. They are separate, and the respective freedoms are both important.

And I dispute your claim that in the rom hacking community something "awfully close" to source code was often available. Plenty of times, mods are done using disassembly from the binaries. Disassembly is nothing like source code. Yet software patches based only on disassembly are possible, maybe even common. Source availability of course makes things easier. Documentation makes things easier still. Public version control of source code makes things eaven easier.
I think this quote best sums up how I feel about this:

“I already am eating from the trash can all the time. The name of this trash can is ideology. The material force of ideology makes me not see what I am effectively eating. It’s not only our reality which enslaves us- the tragedy of our predicament when we are within ideology is that when we think that we escape it into our dreams, at that point we are the most within ideology.”

Crazy but true anecdote. I interviewed with this company for a DevOps-type position. My would-be manager spent his time with me talking about "the birds and the bees", and quipping that prisoners smuggle cell phones in their butt. The only question of his that I specifically remember is what video games do I play. I held it in, went home, and declined their offer. The recruiter told me that I was too sensitive, and ignored me about travel expense reimbursement for months, until I contacted their head of HR (guessing the address). I just checked and that would-be boss is now a senior manager of security engineering there. Not blaming him, but I do feel like Trinity dodging ten agents right now.
I agree, that's the right way to do it (not required for a batch compiler, though, because there are no edits). Text ropes work that way as well - contents are stored in a tree, and absolute coordinates are computed from relative coordinates using an associative operation (monoid).
> What Apple would be doing in this position is (a) determining where real estate profits are being made (b) moving to claim the majority of those profits as revenue.

In the real world it's just the opposite. Apple has a monopoly on the Apple ecosystem, but nobody has a monopoly on land. Corporations will play one city against another to see which will give them the biggest subsidies and tax breaks.

It’s already exists in other languages and it exists because a function could have multiple different exit points. Even if Go had different error handling there might well be different exit points. Hence why defer isn’t a Go-specific feature.
Yes it is still true, they just have decided to support newer c standards when they sabotaged c11 by making optional a fundamental feature like complex numbers:

Water service maintenance is often a different kind of pyramid scheme. In my area, for example, the user fees don't even remotely cover the maintenances, so the utility district relies very heavily on new service surcharges on new construction. These fees are completely outrageous, a minimum of $6000 for a tiny efficiency apartment less than 50 square meters. This obviously raises the prices of new construction. It also has the unfortunate result that the utility district budget waxes and wanes with the local construction market, and is subject to the whims of every local zoning board, so one town that never permits new construction still enjoys the flow of funds from the charges collected in other cities that do build.
So we have an asset that follows a Pareto distribution[1]. Now if one has spent any time and resources investing they'd notice that this holds true for a lot of assets. Bitcoin is really not exceptional in this.
