  1. How is sex different from cocoa and coffee? on Tech Bros Bought Sex Trafficking Victims Using Amazon and Microsoft Work Emails (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    About 50% of the coffee and cocoa we buy (assuming no fair trade) are produced by slaves, including child slaves. Somehow, nobody cares about it. Why?

  2. Re:All Prostitution is now 'sex trafficking' on Tech Bros Bought Sex Trafficking Victims Using Amazon and Microsoft Work Emails (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually I remember hearing a lot about it in the 90s. Here in Israel there were several news stories about sex trafficking in girls from what used to be the soviet union. Supposedly police busted several of the pimps to make it stop.

    Back in the day I remember using boost::variant for tagged unions and creating DECLARE_ASSIGN_N macros for every possible N to do pattern matching on a function that returns a tuple. Ah, the good old times.

    80% women (and climbing - as they force out more men).

    This reminds me of feminists complaining about silicon valley.

    Why is it a nightmare scenario? It would allow new actors to tke center stage. Hell, I would be very happy if marvel and dc just disappeared of the face of the earth.

  7. Re:SJW Marvel on In a Declining Comics Market, DC Beats Marvel (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 0

    If you look at old superman comics, especially the ones devoted to Lois Lane. You would see lots of covers depiciting Superman physically abusing Lois in order to "educate her". You can say that these are "patriarchial" just as much as today's comics are SJW. However, I think that this is just part of a general trend. When art is done purely for big money, it will eventually try to satisfy big money by acting as a propoganda vessel.

    By definition, you cant FULLY control a computer. That is the dark side of turing completeness.

  9. The real problem is middle eastern culture on The Link Between Polygamy and War (economist.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Middle eastern culture transforms women (and men too to some extent, as servants or younglings who obey the elders) into property that can must be fought for and/or can be used for fighting.

    Btw, I am saying it as an Israeli who's country is gradually adopting these perceptions due to orthodox jewish religion taking over.

  12. Privilege on How Harvard Teaches CS Students How To Code (kqed.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The real purpose is to let privileged people connect with other privileged people so that they can get privileged VCs to fund their startups or hire each other. Harvard is just capitalist america's version of aristocracy.

  13. Re:Is the Rust community still toxic like I found on Rust Blog Touts 'What We Achieved' in 2017 (rust-lang.org) · · Score: 1

    In my hypothetical calling convention, you can have a hidden parameter that says what is the length of the variable argument list. Also, as jeremyp replied to you, tail call optimization is not just for a function that calls itself, it should handle any call, including all sorts of dual recursions.

    Have you noticed how when people say "seek help", what they really mean is "go to hell"?

  16. Re:Is the Rust community still toxic like I found on Rust Blog Touts 'What We Achieved' in 2017 (rust-lang.org) · · Score: 1

    The only thing preventing C from doing full tail call optimization is the "caller frees stack" instead of "callee frees stack" behavior. This, like buffer overflows, can be fixed by calling conventions.

    Dual stack callee freeing calling convention for the win!

    I dont care about community, I just want a language that is well documented and for which I can get help in stack overflow. C++ answers these requirements better than rust.

  21. Re:True 100% net neutrality would solve this probl on How Facebook's Political Unit Enables the Dark Art of Digital Propaganda (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I am curious, why do you think FB has become so dominant in the US? In Israel FB is considered something for communication between friends, the only people who use it professionally are artists and professional content writers. When I spent some time in Berlin I saw that they use it even less, using facebook mostly for publishing events and photos of themselves, communicating via whatsapp or phones. Can you explain what makes the US special in this regard?

    I believe that government should guarantee our health and communication needs, not our online social needs. Regarding professional, I admit that i live in a country where you can get a good job without fb. I heard it is different in the US.

    Are social networks as much as a necessity as ISPs? Would this also be a requirement for social networks designed for specific political groups? For small,forums of 30 people?
