> If you believe the theory that jobs get less valued by society when women join them, this is going to happen here as well, since college is increasingly something women do more than men.

I don't believe that theory, but I do believe a theory that has similar results: adding more workers to a field increases the supply of workers and thus reduces the market value of their work, and the main way that new workers have been added to existing fields in the past 100 years is to encourage women to join those fields.

Edit: Actually there are two theories that explain this pattern. The other theory is basically that feminism encourages young women and girls to pursue glamorous, high-status careers, but if you're choosing a career based on how glamorous it is, and it takes a long time to get into it, by the time you're there, the glamor has moved on. This also explains why low-status male-dominant careers can remain male-dominant for just as long as they remain low-status--these fields are consistently even lower status than fields that are predominantly female.

> Stanford students live in brand new buildings with white walls. We have a $20 million dollar meditation center that nobody uses. But students didn’t ask for any of that. We just wanted a dirty house with friends.

From my experience, covid exacerbated this significantly. I don't know if it's just the universities or a broader cultural shift. And as the article says, the administrators introduced more "community initiatives" to exonerate themselves of gleefully destroying campus life and letting it atrophy for two years straight (while making students pay in person tuition for online school)

It feels like in the past couple years we've gone from a culture of spontaneity and grassroots initiative to one of bitter obsequiousness that's obsessed with taking itself seriously. The only way to subvert it is by turning it into one big joke

edit: thanks to OP for posting this magazine, it's the first thing I've seen in a while that actually has something to say
i agree with that. the partner can't solve personal problems, but support from the partner is often necessary and helpful in order to allow the other to solve their problem. especially when that problem affects the relationship
> A looming sense of powerlessness on the left nudged the focus away from structural or wide-reaching change, which felt out of reach, and replaced it with an internal target that was more achievable. “Maybe I can’t end racism by myself, but I can get my manager fired, or I can get so and so removed, or I can hold somebody accountable,”

tl;dr: entitled employees don’t want to take direction, and changing the management doesn’t help.

I can share my preferred dark matter strategy: Google.

Sure, only 33% of devs visit sites like HN.

But 87% of people use Google in the USA ( https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/un... ) and 92% in the rest of the world ( https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share ). Stats, ironically enough, pulled from the first Google search result.

If we posit these dark matter developers are:

* like most normal people, using Google to solve their problems

* use software terms like devs who hang out on HN

Then you can build out a content strategy which answers their questions. Then Google will serve it up to them.

My current content strategy is four fold:

* educational content about our space (auth) that is non vendor specific (how to use JWTs, how to think about OAuth, etc).

* specific tutorials (how to use OIDC with Drupal, how to protect a Rails API with JWTs).

* leveraging the questions the community asks using publicly available, search engine friendly forums.

* great docs so that when they want to use our solution, they can figure things out themselves. Because they are going to use Google to find answers to questions when they are interested in our product too.

This is a solution that takes a long time but scales extremely well.
>>>So it show that we are not completely rational and selfish here.

Does it? Accepting $1 might be a good strategy if this game only ever comes up once and no one can learn from it, but that's not the world we live in. If all the "second players" in the world don't accept anything below 30%, guess what, we end up much better off in the long run.

Sounds like someone's getting the cops called on them/fired.
Also, when I was the target of one of these "booters", a lot of them explicitly state they're only to be used for stress testing services you own, which is legal.
They are pretty much already so. I haven’t had a flat in 40 years.
The Post has run plenty of unflattering stories about Amazon in the time he’s owned it.
The poster child is "LDL cholesterol" level, yielding a statins prescription.

AIUI, the statins makers have been trying for decades to show statins as doing anything for anyone who has not had, or possibly is in imminent danger of, a heart attack. Yet, millions of people who have "slightly elevated" cholesterol are on it.

There is also some game theory going on there. The second player is also offering the first an ultimatum. In theory, if the second player says they would only corporate for a 1/99 split, the second player should accept that deal (assuming the 1% is still greater then the effort that the first player needs to put in).

In essence, there is a range of splits that is mutually beneficial, and it is a negotiation to decide which of those splits to take. As anyone who regularly negotiates knows, a key asset in negotiations is the credible ability to walk away. If people have multiple negotiations, then the ones who are willing to let slightly profitable deals fall through will often do better in net because the deals they do make will be even more profitable then they would otherwise be.

Much of economics can be seen through this lenses. For instance, monopolies can be thought of as the monopoly holder playing an ultimatum game with all of the consumers. Since the monopoly holder has a much higher ability to walk away from a deal they are able to force the trade at a price point that allows them to capture more of the net benefit.
That’s the exact conclusion it’s disputing, calling it logically incoherent because your actions never contributed to the condition but made them strictly better off.
It's expected for hypothesis that make up a field to converge over time towards something resembling "truth".

When hypothesis change wildly decade by decade (e.g. in nutrition research) without convergence, you can reason that the system isn't working as intended.

In the nutrition example, I think the lack of progress is due to inadequete data and tooling to tackle such a complex field, as well as the limitations imposed by ethical considerations.

Another issue is research bias due to funding from industry. I don't this should be as much of an issue since the efficacy of scientific methods should be mostly independent of funding source.
This seems to struggle with phrases.

For example I expected Luke 9:13 as a result for the phrase "you feed them" or "you give them something to eat." The King James reads "give ye them to eat" but the app never found it.

Some of the last places where there is real freedom are public places, the commons- national parks. Wild places. There are trails I’ve climbed where I had to drag myself over a ledge next to a 200 foot drop. And you feel alive. Imagine if that was privatized, how fast they’d put a barbed wire fence around that spot. Freedom is found in the places where money hasn’t infected yet- sadly that’s not college campuses, not anymore. We need to reclaim freedom, and taking risk, as a left wing value- something you are left with when the cops and bean counters go away. Those nude houses and communal parties were common spaces- where people could be free without anyone being in charge. That’s the beating heart of anarchism. Again, you can’t have both freedom to experiment and also demand law and order at the same time.

Islamic banks still lend money for profit,they just charge a fixed fee. It's arguably less predatory, but also reduces availability of credit.
It doesn't "miss" that, it rejects it. And what does moral responsibility mean? If I toss $1 in a beggar's cup, am I now responsible to feed him for the rest of his life? More so than if I cross the street and avoid him?

> I've got an 8 million person state's worth of cases for evidence here.

But the only way you can draw any conclusions is with a control experiment, another country where the vaccination rates were lower but which otherwise imposed the same restrictions, and lifted them under the same initial infection conditions.

> it is impossible for it to be the vaccinated

I presume you meant "unvaccinated" here.

Look, no one disputes that vaccinated people can get infected and so can spread the disease. That does not change the fact that vaccinated people are infected less frequently and recover more quickly than non-vaccinated people, and so they don't spread the disease as efficiently as unvaccinated people.

> the number of cases is basically worse case - we're talking 2.5 million cases with a state population of 8 million

That's about 6.5 million cases shy of the worst case.

> Vaccines provide good personal protection but have had no impact on the spread of COVID cases.

Just because everyone who wasn't vaccinated eventually got or will get infected does not mean that the vaccinations had no impact. The rate of spread matters a lot. 2.5 million cases over two years is a lot different than 2.5 million case over two weeks.
The cops know their union is different, it is a pact with the elite to keep the rabble down, which is why they are virtually immune to the law. They feel no solidarity with any other union, and in fact know their union exists because others are not allowed to form.

Way to point out a tiny “error” in an article about trying to overcome the fear of being nitpicked.
It’s a totally cynical excuse though. Just a cover for their real goals, which is to have less liability and a more reliable profit stream. The problem with this article is that it seems to take everything these administrators are saying at face value, as if they genuinely are shutting down campus life in retaliation for black people not getting invited to the parties. I mean come on.

Most likely the patches will require digital signatures by Apple and the kernel will verify the signatures before allowing itself to be patched. Most likely the signatures will be compiled into the kernel itself and not be part of any external configuration file. Not a great vector.
I think part of the difference is if you're on a quest for particular knowledge (how to repair your car, how to rebuild a M35A2 winch) vs just browsing aimlessly.

In the first, the internet wins hands down most of the time (there are specialized areas where nothing has been digitized); but the second it's not clear that browsing the library is worse than doomscrolling, even if you're doomstrolling HN or something relatively "high quality".
No this: the more you live, the older you get.

I’m very curious about real world ddos.

My guess is a large majority is reflective / udp or tcp zombies, with any cast edge sinkholing traffic from known heuristics or via user configured rules.

My questions are

- are there any organisations that provide good writeups

- is there any well accepted guidelines on how to ethically self-test (unsure if service providers would be happy if you kill network hops in the process)

- how much real world activity leverages non-bandwidth load, such as cpu/memory consumption?
Definitely a situation that calls for an

You're making two claims here that I think are interesting:

1) PETA paying someone's water bills (or SXSW paying homeless folks) is harmful in the long term, because it makes society fixing the overall issue less likely.

2) That harm is greater then the harm of their water being cut off (or not having that $20).

To the first, I'd say we're clearly not solving these issues whether or not we let PETA pay water bills. To the second, I suspect having running water today matters to people a lot more than some theoretical fix in x years.
For what? Adding new programmers? That is about critical mass, ecosystem, sample code for all the nooks and crannies of end-to-end programmin, stackoverflow questions answered, tutorials, etc.

Critical mass like this requires a killer app, framework, or use case, and still a lot of enthusiasm and hand holding. And especially, high paying jobs.
Orthokeratology/Ortho-K is the usual term.
It is certainly a possibility. It is not uncommon for people to have a personal problem that they refused to address which is unacceptable for their partner, even if they love them.
> being in the bright sun for 12 hours a day.

I don't think historically (at least in the past 40 years) most people (barring construction workers and certain jobs) from that region were ever out for 12 hours a day in the bright sunlight.
Right. The OS is a read-only volume, but that's only for when it's being read off the disk into system memory. No reason a patch could not be loaded into both disk (SSV requiring reboot) and RAM (actively loaded) simultaneously. The kernel would need to approve, but if the kernel approved it could change any memory address it wants.

In theory, a Rapid Security Response is not necessarily only an update. It's a Response. It could contain instructions saying, hey, update this file here, and then patch in memory these particular address to specific new values.

For our younger readers, here's how the game works:

1. Amazon makes a big show about fighting unionization. Police, media, all the rest.

2. While doing (1), they quietly install leaders in the union movement that will do what they are told. The easiest way is to buy off whatever organic leadership emerges, but anybody can't be bought outright can be... persuaded.

3. Once (2) is complete, the proverbial dam breaks, and management is "forced" to accept unionization. There might be a few token concessions to show the masses that they have won a victory.

4. Now that there's a union, they act as legally independent enforcers for whatever the owners want, backed by the social force of the worker mob.

This is how unions worked in the Soviet Union and its various client states. I've found Soviet organizational patterns be the most predictive model for understanding the current state of things.

Workers absolutely had union representation to collectively bargain against "management" (the State).

Your union just happened to bargain its way to whatever the State wanted them to do. Union bosses lived very comfortable lives.

If you complained to the union, they'd hold one of the rigged votes that socialists are so famous for, and in the end, you'd likely be branded a "counter-revolutionary" and a "spreader of misinformation", and face consequences.
It'll lose that too as more and more low-level software is written in LLVM-backed languages.
I'm not sure I follow. Even if what you say is true, government with sovereign currencies can tax the capital and still pay out just as generous pensions. They just have to tax capital even harder to keep inflation at bay. No?

Basically if you look at taxation as a way to destroy money, and then you focus taxation on things you want to discourage (too high concentration of capital, unhealthy habits, environmental impact, etc.) you can incentivise and disincentivise whatever you want.

All they have done is shill relentlessly a space that's so unregulated and resembles the Wild Wild West. None of their "products" actually made peoples' lives better. Endless scams, greed, mania and even fraud on these platforms (Binance, FTX, Coinbase, etc). They go down for maintenance whenever they want, list tokens that are outright scams and no oversight, they play fast and loose with the rules and even indulge in insider trading and many strategies to keep the price up.

If all of these companies go bust, the only loss will be to the people invested in it. You can still go about your daily lives with zero impact. They serve no use to 99.99% of the people on this planet.
