The article explicitly mentions that.
> I never said men are more resilient.

"The heterodox view here is that unfair treatment is not a reason men leave tech jobs because men are more resilient to it."

> I just think that male resilience looks like a man not quitting, because men have no option.

Men quit their jobs all the time, without a backup. I quit my job without a backup. Maybe you never do it, but your anecdotal feelings do not apply to men in general. You keep saying that you have no option, that men have no option - that's just false. Everyone always has an option. Taking that option may have significantly negative financial consequences, but so it goes. It sounds like your wife quitting her job already had significantly negative financial consequences on your family: "In fact if my wife worked I think we could probably retire in a few years since she was bringing in quite a bit." You have the option to divorce your wife if you're angry and bitter that she won't go back to work. It's really strange to suggest that women have options but men don't. You think you have no options, but it seems that only your own mind is holding you back. I'm not saying you should divorce your wife, but you could. Or you could quit your job and tell your wife it's her turn to support the family while you stay home. A man has options.

The argument seems to be that men have no options because of what "society" thinks. But there is no societal hive mind. Society is actually bitterly divided on these issues. There are some ultra-conservative types who want women barefoot, pregnant, and subservient, but hopefully we can get past that.
Of course I did. I lived there and also avail myself of original source material that is entirely closed to you, such as Harvard's Iran Oral History project.

& So what that he was a dictator? He wasn't dictating a course of national destruction; he was dictating a revival of an ancient nation. The historical record of Pahlavi dynasty is exceptionally clear. You just need to grab hold of the National Geographic issue dedicated to "Persia" from just before Pahlavi dynasty and compare to Iran they created 57 years later. From a complete basket case to a nation that was seen to be a threat to Western imperial structures (as soon as he helped create OPEC) in the so-called Middle East.

And who was opposing him? A regressive clerical class -- a class -- that had a strangle hold over what passed for Iranian education and judiciary since the Saffavids, and their substantial network of two digit IQ illiterates that saw pictures of khomeini in the moon. And the past 44 years are exhibit A in why Iranian must eradicate the cleric from Iran and Islam once and for all. The second group, young people who where sent to West, entirely on the Iranian goverments' dime btw as all their education and room and board was covered (!), and instead of returning (like some) to help develop Iran they became "marxists", and later "Islamic-Marxists". (That last bit should shed some light on their conceptual and intellectual ability and integrity). Finally, we had the mini-army of all the descendants of various Qajar aristocracy that just wasn't happy with having an uppity soldier's family (Reza Shah) putting an end to the disaster that was Qajar dynasty.

Low-effort article. It's the same hit that has been discussed many times before, with no new information coming from The Independent.

> Are people legally allowed to get a lot of income

In Russia, they aren't if it's systematic [1] (and if you get caught, which is usually not a concern for many unregistered one-man businesses). Stripe isn't available in Russia but most local payment gateways check your paperwork thoroughly, so if you're not a registered SP, card payments are mostly off the limits and the main payment method is card to card transfer there. (There's a few options, but those aren't widely popular because who cares)

[1]: https://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_10699/cc12ef... article 171 of the criminal offence code (in Russian)

I don't really have any experience with SPs in Estonia, but I think it's pretty similar. Let me try and sign up for Stripe and see what happens :-)

Update: I've just signed up as a “sole proprietor” and charged myself 1 EUR. I've only had to fill in my name and home address. Not even I had to submit any documents, perhaps because I already have an LLC registered with Stripe. Still not sure if it's legal, but from the technical standpoint yeah, you probably can use Stripe without any paperwork here in Europe.

The Nightmare Scenario for Central Banks
Like making a great successful product that your users love and then selling it to E corp.

There’s inherent wisdom behind the anti-sellout stance though that’s both obvious and yet often overlooked. When you “sellout” you are eroding trust. You’re another straw on the camel’s back. You gradually ruin a good thing for others.

For example, I’m reluctant to invest time in to small saas products because I know their business model is eventual acquisition, which almost always ruins the product. I’ve become far more discerning and cynical of startups.

This can’t be great for software startups if (as) others also adopt my cynicism.

That being said. When you have an opportunity to walk away with millions I’m sure it’s not easy to resist. You might even choose to believe your own PR (E Corp has the resources to take our startup to the next level etc.).
I don't entirely follow the logic of this article: abortion is illegal in some states and Google knows your search and location history. So it seems like it's saying police will scour account data to target women with the intention of getting an abortion. How?

We know that at the federal level the government can dig into our Google profile data or that a police officer might ask you to hand over your phone. Short of a court order I don't see how our data is compromised like this article implies.
Good example of how surveillance capitalism is a cancer in society that no one is safe from. I am really tired of people telling me that they have nothing to hide! The historical record if full of examples of folks who had "nothing to hide", but suddenly became the target of oppression or exploitation.

Privacy needs to be everyone's concern because by the time you realize you have things you need to keep private, it will be too late!

Unless you only work with other software developers (or gamers I guess) who are latency sensitive like us, most of the people you speak with over VoIP are unlikely to have a Ethernet connection.

I'm questionning the 'control' nature of things. Things were slower, people were closer (due to living more locally, and more manual tasks). So 'information' didn't have the same meaning as it tries to have today.
My take: Ok so for the "crimes" that we do not currently like Google should not log to protect us.
That is naive.

The article is naive. Now when a class of people is affected they realize the issue with Google collecting data or providing location history information (incorrect or not) to the authorities.

Google has a history of actively i) resetting opt out settings, ii) making location tracking de facto mandatory on android, iii) pushing for AMP (which pushes their ampanalytics), etc.

Time to actually push for privacy.

How about: "Hey Google, to protect people, stop tracking anything." (Which for Google would imply to stop existing per se.)

Whatever you do, don’t give them free access to devices or the internet before a certain age. Some parents give their kids iPads as early as two and you can see the behavioral challenges and addiction they struggle with as they get older.

All of the answers to your questions are personal to you and your beliefs. The only considerations are to set some ground rules for using these things, moderate how long they can be on them a day, and have a trusting relationship about what they are doing on it by asking them regularly and caring without being too protective.

You may benefit from reading “The Self-Driven Child”.
Yeah, "public space for women" is such bs! Especially when the women were forced there and not allowed to leave:

> Police reports from the Muzaffarī period (1896–1907) show that the most common punishment for women caught selling sex was a practice known as nafie-balad. This was a form of forceful banishment or eviction from the city targeted at sinful, criminal and undesirable subjects and those who defy social and moral conventions of the society ... One day, all the women suspected of selling sex were gathered and moved by military trucks to a nearby caravanserai outside of Tehran’s wall: "the wayward women were all thrown in there like sheep… later, houses were built and a neighbourhood took shape which was named Shahrinaw" ... Eventually, in 1953 the municipality bowed to public pressure and ordered the erection of a two-and-a-half-metre tall brick wall around Shahrinaw ... While the gate was open to men seeking illicit pleasure, women were allowed neither in nor out.

----

Perhaps I am being puritanical here, but I've never understood this obsession of some trying to associate women's right with prostitution. Everywhere in the world, even in countries where prostitution is legalised / regulated, it is only the desperate and economically weak women who are pushed into this trade and it invariably gives rise to a parallel and illegal industry of sex trafficking and forced prostitution. Worse, where it is legalised, the administration and police largely ignore such illegal sex trafficking as prostitution is now an "economic activity" (until of course there is a public outcry and / or international outrage - Denmark made child pornography illegal only in 1980's!).

Even where religious sanctions for prostitution are available, the prostitutes are both admired and looked down upon by some and face repeated sexual violence (God’s Wife, Every Man’s Woman: The Lives of 'Joginis' in South India - https://thewire.in/rights/photos-sexual-slavery-ban-telangan... ). I do know that there have been periods in the Islamic empire and in Asia, where courtesans, who also sometimes prostituted themselves (often not out of choice), had some semblance of respect and rights largely because they were also highly talented artists (singers, dancers, musicians etc) but mainly because they had the patronage of the rich and the powerful. But once that patronage was lost, they were often vilified by society despite their talents. (All said, I am really unsure on whether glorification of prostitution in the media is good or bad though).
You got it reversed. AFAIK, there are no federal laws prohibiting abortion but there are federal laws prohibiting the use and sale of cannabis. Some states chose to criminalize abortion, but not all do. And many states chose to basically ignore the federal laws on cannabis (I'm not sure exactly how that one works, to be honest).
That is awesome!

Kudos!

My (someone uncharitable) interpretation of the article is:

- People who thing big corps and the government are their friend are not worried about data privacy.
- The government suddenly made a change that made a lot of people realize that is is not necessarily their friend (aka they are no longer comfortable with the government have access to there entire life's worth of data).
- Now we have to end surveillance capitalism because it is dangerous...

I agree with the conclusion, but it is depressing that it has taking this long for people to reach it.

I think you're missing the point, which is that the earlier generation of programmers did just fine without being 13 year old hackers, and still created incredible software.

How many of those Apple IIs and C64s were actually used for non-trivial, proto-professional programming by 13 year olds? Certainly not millions.
Chromium is open source. They can fork the entire codebase, which I imagine they have done. They likely just cherry-pick changes they want from the upstream.

The entire financial services industry is not even 20% of the labor force, and high-frequency trading is only a tiny fraction of that.

The health service in Northern Ireland still used TUI terminals way into 2006, I remember seeing the staff bring up my records with a few taps of the keyboard.

States can pass laws requiring, eg., google to provide location data relevant to the crime (in that state) of abortion.

It's also pretty trivial to "suspect" someone of a crime for "being in some area" and then get a warrent for the data.

Abortion being illegal in some states seems like it might be a shock to the privacy system that's needed. If US states are clearly abusing their citizens en-mass in a way most people disagree with, corporate american enabling this will not be seen positively.

I had to basically memorize a particular academic book for a tough university entrace exam. I created around 50 pages of dense hand-written notes on it, and could recall all the arguments contained in the book with detail. 15 years later, all I remember from that is that the book was about early humans, tool making... or something along those lines. The note making helped with short-term retention, but did nothing for long term retention.

> Central Banks give banks cash in return for garbage mortgages

There are zero mortgages on the Fed’s balance sheet. There has never been a mortgage on its balance sheet. If you think the Fed bought whole mortgages off banks for keepsies, or lost a single cent on its bailouts, you’ve missed something.
You make a good point. I can see how my post could be interpreted as blaming regular consumers for the mess we're in. And while consumer apathy and ignorance disgust me, you are correct, journalists and media that are supposed to be guiding us should shoulder the majority of the blame.

I would blame Google, but that's like blaming the fox for killing the hens, instead of whoever left a hole in the hen house.

Edit: See my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32126390) about this analogy "excusing" Google/the fox.
I think the implication is that local police would seek court orders for this kind of data. That’s not a particularly difficult step for them, and Google is unlikely to resist a lawful court order. Hence the need to make those lawful orders as fruitless as possible.

I don’t know what we had hoped to get from social media, but for a brief period of time, 15 years ago, it was fun.

The stopped when ads once again was called upon to save a business that failed to make a sales pitch directly to its end-users.

It not the fault of the ads as such. It is a reasonable solution, if you can accept that it will never make you insanely wealthy. Sadly that not what happens. Companies keep pushing and pushing to make as much money as possible, forcing their platforms into attention hoarding machines.

Platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram or TikTok, no longer serve any purpose other than sell attention and killing other platforms that would stand in the way of them making a few extra dollars.

For a brief time in history social media provide us with a bit more fun. It allowed us to be a bit more social. Then corporate greed took it away, almost as fast.

The article appears to be saying that there is something fundamentally new happening because Google/Big Tech are now potentially able to facilitate the implementation of law the writer disagrees with.

It's obviously a useful example of the potential for where (say) privacy rights may be superceded by other (eg legal) considerations but framing it as a clear and new moral wrong in the context of a massively contested ethical argument over abortion is simplistic.
Medium’s failure was rather simple. Medium put paywalls in front of blogs. Blogs were supposed to be an open medium. I don’t think anybody really wanted that.
