"Patriarchy"? I just looked it over - three interviewees plus kids. Two interviewees were women, one was the Code.org guy.
The topic was "closing the gender gap", not "talking to women in tech". I see no reason to only interview women for the segment. Anybody engaged in bringing women into tech fields is a valid guest. Blaming some phantom power structure looks like little more than sour grapes.
"Public interest technologists" is a bit of a nebulous term. One might think that "public service technologists", or, "public policy technologists" would have been more precise.
That "public interest technologists" is defined as "those who focus on social justice, the common good, and the public interest", is, once we ditch the recursive loop, half neutral but also half partisan-buzzword.
As only one party wastes time promoting that meaningless bit of vacuous twaddle, it seems Schneier only wants one party to benefit from technical expertise. An honest call would have been couched in non-partisan, non-ideological terms. This is partisan.
Yup, supply and demand is at the heart of any market, and our healthcare policy has been focused on increasing demand and restricting supply. Increasing demand through subsidies and insurance, and decreasing supply to maximize quality.
You cannot maximize quantity and quality, they are inversely related. You can't increase demand without increasing supply if you want stable costs.
Major politicians have recently stated that they will provide high-quality care for everyone. This is not possible.
That doesn't make much sense either. Apple didn't want users to be able to buy games for their computer through their iThings? Then why allow Steam on Macs?
Well, it's the first time I've seen one of these claims include the assumption that not all moochers/pirates/whatever would pay if they couldn't mooch/pirate/whatever, and try to determine what percentage would. That's a good sign.
That's an idea that never should have crossed their minds. You don't need a heater anywhere near your chips, you just nee to put them under load. Crank up the clock for a minute and have it do something. If a screensaver can do it, good, but I've never noticed my screen getting warm on its own. Battery and CPU, oh yeah.
Point being, radiating waste heat is a problem for phones; not being hot enough isn't, for the same reason.
The children under 13 that is. They must be, right? Otherwise their parents would have made sure their kids weren't throwing personal information all over the place and posting videos. Right?
That was my gut reaction, but, "The consumer survey defined mooching by asking users if they use a service they don’t pay for, then asked what they would or would not pay for themselves, if that access fell through."
My store was completely nuts. The GM once got stuck at customer service, and while reading back an old woman's receipt, slipped in a dildo. As in, "2 reams of paper, one ink cartridge, a dildo, a box of markers..." (this sort of thing happened a lot). The #3 salesperson in the company (globally) once chased a customer out of the store, into the parking lot, where he kicked her car door closed to keep her from leaving because he wasn't done yelling. He actually threw a lot of people out, but he could sell anything and the company loved him. Even when he got arrested in the store for counterfeiting (they had to let him go, he came back and finished his shift, never got his printer back). He was not the only one who used an HP PSC to make some cash.
So, punish the thousands of other people involved in the movie because you don't like an opinion voiced by one person, who isn't even involved in a creative role?
And you hit the "Well you might not be outraged by this trivial nonsense, but I am because I'm morally superior to you", SJW attitude perfectly.
And when it drives one of your employees so far up the wall that they snap on a customer who then hits you with a nuisance lawsuit, will you change your mind?
I worked at Staples. I don't know where the music came from, but it was awful. I hated almost every song played and they drove me nuts. Had me so stressed out I snapped on a customer and got fired.
Music can have benefits, or it can have damaging consequences. Phil Collins causes damage. Garbage "Nu metal" bands butchering The Who causes damage.
But since the movie isn't about her politics (so far as any of us know), who cares?
Worse, by launching an SJW stupidity campaign against the movie, the idiots who cared enough to be involved only call positive attention to her nonsense.
Someone says something someone else doesn't like, so they try and destroy a project the first person was involved in, just because they were involved.
At least there's something Right and Left have in common - the loudest, most outraged members are the stupidest and most destructive.
Here's a helpful tip for everyone: Ignore everything an actor says when they aren't acting. It'll save you time, stress, and aggravation; leaving you a happier person who is able to enjoy TV and movies at will.
So, tens of thousands of people on the right acting just like left-wing SJWs for the same sorts of stupid reasons?
I can't wrap my head around the idea of not seeing a movie I would otherwise want to just because an actor in it said something stupid. Who cares? She didn't write the movie, she's just in it pretending to be someone else. This is just like the SJW BS around Ender's Game, except somehow even dumber.
So, the same as some SJW's overreaction to some stupid thing someone said? Two wrongs making... tens of thousands of meaningless comments?
I can't think of a single instance where an actors personal beliefs affected my desire to see something they were in. And I certainly can't think of any stupid thing an actor has said that made me lose my mind and act like some brain dead 20y/o SJW.

What's wrong with Octilabyte and Nonilabyte?
Besides nothing.
So far as I know, DST is and adjustment made FOR farmers, not one that requires "farmers to make needless adjustments".
I can't seem to avoid mixing up Bries Larson and Olson. As a result, my expectations for the movie are all over the place.
One that goes back to our oldest elections, though I think those papers were mostly focused on slandering opponents.

Did they expect developers to update to 9 without end users having a version 9 JRE?
I take that to mean no vendor can "go cashless".
That doesn't make much sense either. Apple didn't want users to be able to buy games for their computer through their iThings? Then why allow Steam on Macs?
Sounded like a prohibition on "pulling the plug" to me. A policy defining when turning an AI off counts as murder.

Just go straight to whoever Huawei stole it from in the first place.

Wait, it's not an April Fools joke? Are you sure? Doesn't it really have to be? Shouldn't it be?
