I still don't see it as a big problem - if a project starts driving away people with repulsive behaviour of its members, it will die out. Maybe competing one will eat their lunch, maybe it will just get forked and driven into irrelevance. So let the problem fix itself. Since diversity is supposed to make projects better, the ones without assholes should float on top on their own merit. If they don't, then apparently dogma about diversity making everything better is false and all the effort spent on making OS community more diverse is not worth it.
Obviously I don't know a thing about his upbringing, but I know about the general situation
Exactly. You don't know any particulars, but you feel free extrapolate your lack of knowledge to general 'open source community', do some amateur psychoanalysis and end up with a lazy stereotype.
and I suggest a solution, although it would take a generation to implement.
Link just died unfortunately (404).
Just what are you doing? Denying there's a problem?
I deny there is some general problem with open source projects. There are many of them with different cultures. Some of them antagonistic, others focused only on merit and not giving a damn about gender and some unfortunate others that got invaded by SJWs (example: Gnome Foundation that got its coffers emptied by Stormy Peters on idiotic stuff like OPW).
There is nothing preventing women from starting their own projects and making sure that repositories, forums, wikis, etc. are perfect safe spaces for precious snowflakes. I also don't see 'diversity' as some kind of fetish - if it helps making better projects, cool, but not as goal of its own. How much money and time has to be wasted for stuff like Ada Initiative, OPW, countless 'get more women into IT' programs funded by various companies until someone decides it is just not worth it?
Yes, it was designed to look like typical bomb from a movie. Do you think that teachers have much experience with 'real IEDs' ?
The whole thing was a set up designed to provoke exactly this kind of reaction. And apparently since they story is out of first pages of the press, it is time for payday.
I can imagine the discussion:
- (technical guy) - we can't rely on MAC for security! MAC can be obtained by eavesdropping and then attacker can figure out how to break in
- (marketing guy) - yes, yes, but the simplicity for user is most important thing
- (management) - nobody will be able to figure out this MAC thingy anyway, make it so.
Nice, but there is one big problem: FCC does not give a fuck about open source. Manufacturers piss on one source as well. And Mr Perens has zero influence on either of them.
1) Keep your head down
2) Avert your eyes - initiating eye contact is sign of defiance and will be punished
3) If police officer deigns to address you, immediately drop on the ground face down. Delay over 50ms will be punished
4) If you think law matters and you deluded enough to assume that you have some civil rights, you are an idiot. The only source of law is a guy with a gun
5) Remember that police officer can kill you if he feels like it, and it is very unlikely he will be even indicted
6) Everything can be 'resisting arrest' - including trying to breathe when police is choking you to death or bruising officer's knuckles with your face
7) Tasering is like saying 'hello'
When I go to any bug, it renders the page then freezes the current tab for 30-40s. Agile board is completely impossible to use (do anything at all, browser again freezes for half a minute). The same problem with Chrome, Safari and IE.
I generally use Chrome for everything, but still have to have firefox open just for damn jira.
Because you don't get to 'flip' anything without breaking entanglement. You can just measure one electron and be sure that the same measurement will give you the same result in entangled one. It is like having two random number generators with the same seed - they always give the same (random) answer, but it does not allow you to transmit anything.
Well, almost. People may not want infinite things, but they want more things that other people have.
Or even better, things that other people don't have. As outward sign of their higher status. It is not about needing something, it is about showing up your neighbours.
Post-scarcity is impossible, because artificial scarcity will be immediately invented. Another commenter mentioned that artificial diamonds don't differ from mined ones anymore, but everybody still wants the natural ones. That's good example of artificial scarcity used to create status symbols.
So let's say we can 3D print cars, houses, whatever. This will simply make 'real' (not-printed) items more valuable.

What poor, defenceless women would do without white knight riding to the rescue?

Don't bother with the link - standard armchair psychoanalysing to the tired tune of "this is all fault of those nasty, nasty nerds".
This crap again?

And you have ready supply of it in form of other inmates.

Or stop a person from making transactions. What do you do if there is no cash anymore and your bank accounts just got frozen?
Go opposite direction - replace baseball bats with guns. At least then baseball will make some sense.
Yes, kind of like mafia. It is not a good sign if omerta is the standard way for police.

Here is a rough sketch of the lesson.
Sub 20km? Then buy a bicycle.

If you are not paying then you are the product. Unfortunately if your are paying, nothing prevents company from selling you anyway
Make it three - unfortunately I have to work with Jira and it pretty much kills any other browser.
So they already cracked it and now they are trying to stage very public fiasco in order to convince everybody it is still safe. *dons tinfoil hat*
Brown skin, name like 'Ahmed Mohamed' and home made electronic clock. He is lucky to be alive actually.
Because that's pretty much the only game released for Linux that year?

And as every communist system it cannot function without being funded externally.
Yes, you are missing something - uber thing is mostly about cheating on taxes, license and insurance. That's how you get cheaper than taxi.
Sarcasm, motherfucker. Do you know it?!
