They certainly are.

Of course, should they be admitted and it is realized that they abused the definitions of race that society uses to group and classify people in some egregious way, they may face consequences for that.

And sure, I'm entirely sympathetic to the scientific observation that race is a myth, but in the actual USA, in actual 2024, basic physiological features like skin color, face shape, voice tone, hair texture will result in you receiving different treatment in many contexts. Whatever triggers such different treatment is what defines race on the ground (ignoring the equivalent set of things related to sex/gender).
I'm using "Firefox" since Netscape Navigator 3.x times. As long as I'm using web at all.

Never used Chrome on desktop. Never had one installed.

Ok, as Windows user I have "Edge" installed inevitably, but never used it more than 1 time to download FireFox installer.

Using FireFox on Android from early betas, no problem.

Is it something worth to write article about?

Call me woke, but I feel like I’d be an idiot not to read between the lines here. Graham was very careful to mention acquittal when discussing the event that led to the formation of BLM, then very careful to avoid Chauvin’s conviction when he got to Floyd, in the same article where he argued against the stigmatization of the word negro. I think that’s a very unlikely framing to use if your goal is legitimate exploration.

I feel like with something this transparent, the sides are already drawn, and you either agree with Graham’s loosely disguised opinions or don’t, and this sorta makes the supposed purpose, to analyze the origins of wokeness, a pointless sidequest. I don’t particularly like moralizing lefties, but this isn’t a proper, objective analysis.
The world would require an x-th number of skilled developers existing for problems that could be solved by digital services. Ask in any forum about any niche/hobby/expert field and they tell you dozens of things they would gladly pay for but doesn't exist.

It's one thing to be a good dev/coder, but another level entierly to be a one man team delivering a product.
Interesting approach. Preemptive I guess. Have there been many public sector orgs paying ransoms? Don't recall any major reports of that.
Maybe that is the problem.
It's too niche. There aren't enough veg only restaurants to build a service around it.

One thing that might work is allowing restaurants to indicate veg items when they put in their menus. Then, an individual user of an existing delivery platform could check a box in their profile and restrict the menu items shown from all restaurants.
Bad ads just aren't just on the web.

I've had a longtime gym habit which sometimes has me in front of the TV around noon where the ads are all for products for people who don't have any money. I remember seeing a series of ads where my first thought was "anybody except a TV executive or a politician would look at that and say it it's a medicare scam" and watching the ads for a decade before it got in the news that it really was a scam and people are going to jail.

Those ads win an auction to get there, they might be the optimal ads for that slot, but if you want to know why people have low trust in the media and low trust in the government, start there.

I watched Tubi a lot last summer, which is in a wonderful honeymoon period, and was watching saturation advertising for P&G products that featured upbeat black people cleaning up (their own messes) with Dawn and Tide. Great, I say. They've got some awareness that they shouldn't run ads that drive viewers away. Maybe targeted ads will be good for television but the specter of

I don't particularly care for utilitarianism. It can make the fairly obvious cases rigorous, but it doesn't do a good job of drawing fine distinctions -- for example, the variations of the Trolley Problem. When two utilitarians disagree in their cost/benefit function, utilitarianism doesn't provide a mechanism to resolve it.

That's not meant to discourage anybody from utilitarianism. There is no obviously better system. And we do need some basis on which to make decisions. I am just wary of utilitarianism for myself because I distrust its potentially confident-but-wrong conclusions.

I do think it's a very useful framework for elucidating the problems. Why is it we are willing to pull a lever to let the train kill one person, but unwilling to push a fat guy in front of it? I think that utilitarianism highlights the differences for exploring the moral intuition.

I have a poorly-elaborated notion that the moral intuition has some kind of universal, biological basis -- perhaps similar in origin to Chomsky's Universal Grammar. If that's true, we might be able to learn something from the neurobiology of moral decision-making. And that might in turn put utilitarianism on a firmer footing, or prove that no such footing is possible.

Just my $.02.
In my hometown, Palma, in Mallorca, I live in a street where 50% of houses are owned by foreign people or investors/airbnb. The neighborhood is not 50% but not that low.

The problem? Prices skyrocketed, like a 10x in 10 years (for big houses, small houses 4x). I hear more english/german/sweedish than spanish (or catalan) in my dog walks.

Besides economic implications (a lot for local people trying to find places to live), there are cultural/social implications. The neighborhood used to be a community, where people were open to help and share. Now this is changing and evolving into an individualist neighborhood.

Our oficial language is being minoritized even more. This doesn't seem like the neighborhood we used to live on.

Not everything is economy. The intangible heritage is something we should take care more.
> GPL means that anyone who modifies the source code, or integrates it into a larger work, has to release the modified version.

When spaces in urban areas stay empty for years on end, that is excessive rent seeking.

When a person wanting to start a business chooses not to because there is a 90%+ chance all their efforts will result in most of the profit going to the landlord when the lease renewal comes up, that is excessive rent seeking (most visible as only franchise or chain restaurants opening).

When young people in the bottom two income quintiles can see they will never be able to save enough (because of spending their money on rent and higher prices paid to businesses that are paying rents) to afford buying a place of their own, so they forgo pursuing goals of forming families, that is excessive rent seeking.

Thanks! Your reply added some missing context. Particularly the part about Automatic not wanting WP Engine to host their own mirrors. That definitely casts doubt and suspicion on Matt and Automatic's motivations and helps put into perspective all of the Matt/Automatic "haters" who are siding with WP Engine. Without context like that, it sounds like people are asking others to float the bill for them. But if they are being denied the option to "self-serve" then yeah, there's obviously way more to it.

>The actual real world impact of wokism is that the left-leaning part of the elite is distracted into performative games outdoing one another in verbal righteousness...

Is that really the only real-world impact? Is there no value in examining the link between how we refer to people and how we treat them? What about the affirmative action aspects of wokism---is there some impact there?

If you define woke as only the people performing meaningless rituals, then of course you're going to dismiss wokeness. But not all of it is meaningless ritual, affirmative action has created real change. And I would argue that efforts to take pejorative terms out of language are worthwhile, even if some people get overly academic about it.

Nope. Raises the question is far clearer and less ambiguous.

I think the rate of non-fill is higher. But the reasons for it are all over the map. Everything from "we always leave a posting up even when we're not really looking just in case the perfect candidate happens to walk through the door" but in the mean time nobody really pays attention to applicants, to "we weren't getting the applicants we wanted with this posting, so we took it down and are trying a new posting," to "we're legally obligated to post this, but we already have a plan about hiring" whether it's someone connected, someone internal, or a preference for H1B workers, to all kinds of other scenarios. Anybody who has ever applied for a dozen jobs, sent literate applications and outreach, and has heard from most of them never to months later regardless of actual fit for the job knows this.

I think there's big potential in using DNS blacklists for this: they have the advantage of being massively scalable and simple to maintain, and clients configuration to use them is also easy.

The scalability comes from the caching inherent in DNS; instead of having to have millions of people downloading text files from a website over HTTP on a regular basis, the data is in effect lazy-uploaded into the cloud of caching DNS resolvers, with no administration cost on behalf of the DNSBL operator.

Reputation whitelists (or other scoring services) would also be just as easy to implement.

The best place I ever worked was a small company, but not so tiny that there was no specialization of roles. We were making a complex hardware/software product that was selling pretty well. There were investors, but it was a long-term kind of thing and there wasn't pressure to double in size every few weeks or whatever Silicon Valley nonsense. I moved away from where the company was, unfortunately or I think I might still be there. They're still there doing what they do and building on it with a lot of the same people as when I worked there, rather than the turmoil du jour in "faster paced" environments.

Yes Sikhism was a result of/was heavily influenced by the Bhakti movement that started in the south of India around 1000 years ago and then rapidly spread through central and northern Indian.

What does this have to do with the calculated choice of not having kids due to unaffordable housing and worsening standard of living?

>We're built exactly the same as people who had more kids.

Yes, and? How is human behavior today comparable with humans from 100 years ago when there was no birth control and women were basically their father's/husband's property, let alone 10000 years ago when humans used to procreate though what was basically mass rape, just like animals in the wild. How is that comparable to our modern society and with the human and female rights today?

No, people superficially said the same things. Except if you know anything at all about the underlying tech, or about business, you immediately see the difference. This is why so many people disliked and totally ignored the blockchain hype (like me), but are very bought into AI (also like me).

One glaring example of the difference - you're making an analogy by saying that people were saying "get on board web3 or you'll be left behind". I'm not sure I heard people say it quite this way, but even if they did - what was the causal mechanism they claimed would "leave you behind" exactly? Why would the average user care? Not at all clear.

Whereas, correct or not, there's a very obvious reason to think adopting AI is critical - in SE, for example, it promises drastic changes to how people work and increases in productivity - it's pretty clear why not adopting it is a bad idea.

In the fifth century BC, there was a secessio plebes in Rome - a strike - which won demands for the plebians.pleasant. In 1877 there was a nationwide railroad strike in the US which was put down by federal troops - it failed in the short term but led to some more scraps being doled back to workers.

It is feasible, but industry wide strikes don't just happened. Companies can move software jobs overseas easier than factories, so international solidarity is important - something US labor has notoriously been poor at.

It can happen, but a lot of work and time and effort and defeats would happen first. It starts on a small scale, with an enormous amount of effort to build up. The momentum of the past 75 years have been things going in the other direction in the US.
