Full Text of Trans-Pacific Partnership Released (Officially, This Time) (mfat.govt.nz)

EmagGeek writes: The full text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, has been officially released, and is available for the public to see. According to CNN, The TPP is a 12-nation deal that touches on 40% of the global economy. The provisions of the deal would knock down tariffs and import quotas, making it cheaper to import and export, and open new Asia-Pacific markets. Negotiations have been going on for years, led by the United States and Japan — with China conspicuously absent from the list of signees.

Re:ESR's warning about "honeytraps" at tech confs?

Is there any basis to these allegations?

A history of events of false accusations of rape that go without any penalty to the accuser is basis enough to assume that someone will try to use that precedent for purposes that you likely disagree with.

Is it true that Linus himself has been targeted by these groups?

Probably, many people with some degree of fame have been targeted in rape accusations. Often for the money, sometimes for political purposes, sometimes simply to destroy something that a man built and leads.

What the hell is going on here, and why isn't this front-page news on Slashdot?

Slashdot is part of the problem. If you don't believe me, just check back in tomorrow for "Social Justice Friday." If my prediction of man-hating stories is found false this week, I will be amazed but will enjoy the relative peace.

Just a bunch of paranoid misogynist nutjobbery. At least that's how I'll treat it until there's some evidence.
