> He resigned from the Whitehead, and eventually MIT, at the advice of his lawyers who thought it would help him secure his next job. (“I one hundred percent regret that,” Sabatini told me).

I feel this is the most critical mistake he made. There are stories that those who fought back actually got to keep their jobs (and reputation). The university investigation never gave him due process and was totally biased. He might had a chance.
TLDR: Smart guy has a sexual relationship with someone who is lower in the organizational hierarchy. She tells him she wants an open relationship and also sleeps with other men. After several months, he wants to break up. She gets mad and has him cancelled.

Sadly, our hyper-outrage culture makes all this possible.
> In over 55%-80% of intimate partner violence (IPV) cases, the victim is male.

Nonetheless, the police arrest the male as the perpetrator in over 80% of IPV cases.

Embarrassed at being regularly beaten by his female domestic partner, the male IPV

victim commonly says nothing in his defense. He is likely to cover for his abuser, quietly

taking the blame for the offenses she projects upon him.

The truth is if you study empiric studies on gender inequalities and misandry, that men are becoming more and more abused and miserable. This is amplified by many things such as the women are wonderful effect, and the hypergamification of women via the use and abuse of artificial image enhancers (e.g. makeup) and their current gatekeeping from men, and the male condition cannot currently defend itself against those worsenings, given that masculinism nor the more relevant egalitarianism are represented online. In the modern feminimisandrist rethoric male suffering is because, you guess it, of the patriarchy, indeed a very logical (it's not) assertion.

TL;DR women and most men care about women issues/suffering, almost no women (publicly) and few men care about men issues/suffering.

> This is a superficial complaint, but I found Rust syntax to be dense, heavy, and difficult to read

:)

If you think that Rust is dense and difficult to eyeball, please do try... Swift - purely for therapeutic reasons. But not the usual, trivial, educational-sample, evangelism-slideshow Swift, please, but real-world, advanced Swift with generics. All the unique language constructs to memorize, all the redundant syntactic sugar variations to recognize, all the special-purpose language features to understand, all the inconsistent keyword placement variations to observe, all the inferred complex types to foresee, etc. will make you suddenly want to quit being a programming linguist and instead become a nature-hugging florist and/or run back to Go, Python, or even friggin' LOGO. I'm tellin' ya. And, when considering Swift, we're not even talking about a systems programming language usable with, say, lightweight wearable hardware devices, but about a frankenstein created (almost) exclusively for writing GUIs on mobile devices usually more powerful than desktop workstations of yesteryear :).

Rust is complex, but very good.

>This prompted the Whitehead (https://wi.mit.edu/) to hire the law firm Hinckley, Allen & Snyder to conduct an investigation

>“While we have not found any evidence that Sabatini discriminates against or fails to support females in his lab, we find that Sabatini’s propensity to praise or gravitate toward those in the lab that mirror his desired personality traits, scientific success, or view of ‘science above all else,’ creates additional obstacles for female lab members,” the report concluded.

Is this implying that the belief of the writers of the report is that "female lab members" struggle more than others to achieve scientific success or to view 'science above all else'?

What other reason would they consider a scientific lab leader favoring those who are committed to science and scientific success to be a hindrance to "female lab members". Or is that entirely relying on the vague first term: "personality traits".

Many years ago, my dad wrote an accounting system for the company he worked at to automate some of this. He spent ages trying to convince the tax authorities that the database was sufficient, and that there was no point in printing out an extra copy of every invoice and gluing it into a book. The idea is it'd make it harder for you to retroactively manipulate invoices.

They eventually saw the light, but it was a long slog.

When some of them objected—Sabatini, at that point, was just a guy living in Boston—a scientist who was there recalled Hodge warning them: “You wouldn’t want to jeopardize your future eligibility for NIH funding.” There was a chill in the room. “That’s a death sentence,” the scientist said.

Which does not represent a change in action:

> The new policy states explicitly the longstanding practice [...]

Someone is inevitably going to bring up Aaron Swartz as the poster child for overzealous federal prosecution. To head that off at the pass:

- Swartz persisted in his downloading of JSTOR documents despite knowing that he was causing what amounted to a denial of service attack. He significantly impacted researcher around the globe, for weeks. The impact of this on the scientific community is not understood by most armchair Swartz defenders; publication and grant deadlines, for example, do not wait for "I can't get access to the papers I need on JSTOR." He even set out to speed up the rate at which he was downloading articles by deploying more equipment on MIT's network.

- JSTOR is a non-profit organization that exists for the sole purpose of archiving, cataloging, and providing low cost access to journals for small organizations. It's a bit like protesting high food prices and half-a-trillion-dollar farm bills...by repeatedly chaining shut the doors of the local co-op grocery store because they "enable the system" (or something.)

- Swartz had gotten in trouble for pulling this sort of stunt with PACER (which was far more deserving; the federal court system is mandated to provide the service at cost but has been inflating fees at an astronomical rate, essentially treating it as a for-profit business piggy bank.) The FBI and federal prosecutors pulled him in for a meeting and said "tread very, very carefully, son." What did he do? Ran along and did the same thing with JSTOR.

- Swartz was initially indicted by a grand jury. Common folks, not devil-horned federal prosecutors, thought there was a case.

It is often reported/claimed that Swartz was "going" to jail for X decades or "facing" X decades of jail time

- The case never went to trial and it is unlikely he would have been convicted of all charges (though it is almost certain he would have been convicted of at least some of the charges; he left a preponderance of evidence.)

- The claim of X years is based off combining maximum sentencing guidelines for all the charges, which is never the result for white collar criminal convictions.

And last but not least: prosecutors spent a year and a half negotiating a plea deal - down to a few months in Club Fed. He then refused the deal, in a way that made it look very much like he'd purposefully yanked prosecutor's chains while trying to win his case in the court of public opinion.

He rejected the deal over the advice of legal team I'd classify as "better than the best money can buy", friends (including people like Lawrence Lessig), his family, his partner, etc. Swartz was happy to knowingly do the crime and wanted the glory and cred for it, but his ego could not stand the possibility of "the time".
It's not about this being some end-all solution, it's about it being an option. Personally, I love it. I used to use Privoxy, back when nothing was encrypted, and it was wonderful. A central place to store all my ad-blocking config that could be connected to at will by most devices on my network. I mostly have that now with DNS blocking, but once ad networks stop putting ads on separate domains, that's done.

Keep in mind that ad-blocking browser plugins aren't exactly secure either. They have access, not only to every network request, but every keystroke, mouse wiggle, etc. And all it takes to all fall down is for whoever is maintaining it to cash out and sell to a bad actor: you'll helpfully be automatically updated to the new, state-owned version.

There's been some push from the other side: cell phones move too much in physical space to make IPv4 routing efficient (especially with today's scarcity) so today most cellular networks are IPv6 "native" and rely on IPv4-over-IPv6 router proxies for IPv4-only traffic.

Smartphones have been among the biggest leading adopters of IPv6 out of necessity to the network topology.

A simple question to ask: Are you willing and/or able to potentially wait 6+ months for a new job if the startup goes under? Hiring for entry level engineers is already difficult and becomes much harder when companies institute hiring freezes due to an economic downturn.

Except you're still bleeding money. For perspective, "only losing 8.4%" of your wealth annually is like being on the Titanic right after the iceberg impact and plugging a small 1 inch hole in the hull of the ship. It's still sinking, and fast.

Compound interest works in reverse as well. Losing "only" 8.4% of your wealth each year means in 8 years more than 1/2 your wealth is gone. Thus, saving is basically irrelevant. By the time you'd have saved enough money to be meaningful, it is not worth anything.

There are already. There's more work than people right now. All that work you describe is so expensive we can only do a small portion of it.

What's really needed is more trade school so we can get more people in those positions (and yes, this increase in supply will lower wages).

It actually seems there's more work than money in every single field. We need to figure out how to make a world that doesn't take so much work to keep running. Demographics being what they are, we aren't going to be able to have complete funding for everything in the future.

It's either that, or have a world with well funded profitable amazing things, next to crumbling basic things.

If your employees are dumb enough that they interpret a 70% cut of the workforce as a sign that your company is stable, you're doomed. It's hard to imagine the dumbest person in the world interpreting that as a sign of stability.
