    Maybe it's time to stop blaming men for what women do to each other.

    Welcome to cultural marxism. It was never about equality to begin with.

    Better to expect every accuser to present evidence. If she's not lying then she's got nothing to worry about. Equality is the radical notion that men and women are people who deserve right to due process.

    That's because of the 'girl who cried wolf' syndrome, not because of this particular judge.

    Welcome to the applied definitions of 'social justice', 'diversity' and 'equality.' What they say and what they do are complete opposites. It's newspeak to a T.

    That doesn't mean it's ok to falsely accuse, or for the accuser to stay hidden while she and her lawyer trash their target with impunity before a trial is even started, hell, sometimes before an arrest is made. Maybe false accusers should be dealt the same punishments their targets would've had to endure.

    In a free country everyone deserves equality before the law. What you're suggesting just encourages witchhunts and social vendettas (he cheated on me, I'll get him!). All I can really read from your post is that 'women matter, men do not.' Fuck that.

    They should hide their secrets in the chips themselves, or in the firmware for them. Their stubbornness about redistributing firmware images is retarded since they're useless without having an nvidia card anyway..

    Well, irrational belief isn't great, but it's tyrannical when it's imposed by governments willing to bow to it and take its money. That said I don't want to see any more taxation until the spendthrift policies of the state are dealt with.

    Really? Despite the title of this article?

    Even if it was the easiest thing in the world, causing systemic discrimination under the guise of fighting it is never justified. After all, why would you want to drag someone else down instead of helping yourself up (or others to help themselves)? The latter is what a meritocracy encourages, and affirmative action destroys the value of merit in every organization it infects, making the supposedly irrelevant traits the most important selection criteria as a matter of policy.

    That said, it's getting harder to be anyone in this modern world. State enforced castes don't do anything but let it have the power to pick winners and losers, causing resentment on all sides. The interesting thing will be whether cornell decides to do anything about the problem it found...or if its faculty even considers it to be a problem at all.

    No it's not. It's the very same systemic/cultural/legal/economic discrimination its proponents claim to fight. It's extremely hypocritical to a point where I have to assume that its proponents do understand and have ulterior motives.

  22. Re:This, if true, will utterly destroy on Researchers Developing An Algorithm That Can Detect Internet Trolls · · Score: 1

    Good luck getting that point across to the people who developed this 'troll detector.'

    The study

    1. defines trolling as 'inflammatory or off topic.' Someone posting in the wrong thread is not necessarily trolling and inflammatory posts are not necessarily trolling or off topic.

    2. does not define 'anti social'.

    All the algorithm seems to do is model the political views of the moderators on the sites monitored.

  23. ..and these separate entities will be compelled to comply with an NSL, right? Fuck that bullshit. The problem here is statist/authoritarian politics not technology.
