Yes he did. Did you see the slides? They are *horible*. Full of implicit assumptions, bias, shoddy analysis and outright insults. Any good scientist would indeed be horrified him presenting that as "science".
Idiocy is it? To expect no prejudice against trans women at an LGBTQI+ event?
Depends, what do you call refusing to learn from experience? It's not like anti-trans bigotry is either now or surprising these days. In fact I don't think it ever was.
I'm "the left" as well you sanctimonious prick and I'm disgusted by what happened. Please explain why you aren't.
I'm disgusted by your sanctimoniousness and inability to read[*].
[*] Not really. But you misread my post. I said I wasn't shoked by the existence of anti-trans activism or surpised by it. I don't see why I shoould be really, transphobia is really really common. I also said I wasn't appalled by stupidity in slashdot comments.
At no point did I say I wasn't disgusted by their actions.
It's already been decided that gender is self-identified. Anyone (like you) wanting to make it dependent on circumstances is free to argue in court that the way it is now must be changed./em.
Like I said if it's so simple, try it on a judge without a lawyer. Let us know how it goes.
What I want is immaterial. It's how the law will be interpreted that matters. If you think it's so simple, then take it in front of a judge and I'm sure you'll win. May as well represent yourself: if it's as simple as you seem to think then you won't even need a lawyer.
Anti-trans bigotry from the left at a Pride March should shock and appal you. Why doesn't it?
Well biased stupidity in slashdot comments neither shocks nor appalls me. So let's drop the "from the left" idiocy you brought in since it's all the "left". Now it comes down to a small group of people acted like arseholes and were told to piss off by a bigger group. That's not very shocking really now is it.
I think you should definitely try to get this in front of a judge.
I didn't really read the rest of your post; I'm sure it's excellent, so much so that I think you could probably represent yourself. I hear judges absolutely love it when people find cute loopholes to the law.
Could it happen that a California company states that board members Chris and Pat are women, Chris and Pat say they are women, but the state disagrees and says they are men?
Well gosh, if only we had jjudges and jury people to apply human judgement to trickier cases.
Well thanks for demonstrating u're incapable of rational thought....will demand laws because...
ah yes, that happened in other countries which passed similar laws, like Germany and Norway. Funnily enough I can't find any links that it happened. But since you are so sure it's an inevitable conseqence, I'm sure they exist and you'll fill your reply with evidence.
But I forget: you're the kind of person who thinks "SJW" is a thing. That means in your mind a bunch of anti-SJW howling about something that happened in their heads is the same as it actually happening. Being nuable to find any evidence of it happening is immaterial to you.
lolwut? Anti trans bigotry surprises you? What planet are you from and after you tell me can you please share your technology with us primitive humons.
Lol choosing the best candidate. Listen to yourself.
95% of the time on slashdot we rightly bitch and moan about how incredibly shit upper management is. You know making short term decisions that benefit them personally and not the company. But now it's forced not to be all men all of a sudden they were all the best people for the job.
So the your loaded about "what happened to simply choosing the best candidate?": that was never the case and we both know it.
Yes this is just programming. And Eric Raymond's attempt to sound relevant and profound by pontificating and giving names to things which don't really need naming.
I'm pretty much a centrist. Both left and right have the better ideas from time to time
You see to me that should not be "I'm a centrist" and more of "I'm not a complete idiot". Even if yu lean fairly far to the left or right and you have a braing attached you should be able to see that the other camp has worthwhile ideas sometimes and your own camp sometimes has really stupid ideas.
It's a sad indictment of the level of discourse that "centrist" is now associated with "willing to consider multiple alternatives".
Also, both sides have extremely dangerous people.
Sure, if you go far enough they meet round the back.
This has the very scary possibility turning a traditionally open internet into an internet that is now effectively controlled by a small group of monopolies who seem to be increasingly seeking to suppress conservative viewpoints.
So it seems like the attitude that unfettered business is good and reglation is bad is only up to the point where it affects conservatives.
"your side" is making the claim that the CoC is crap yet refuse at every turn to say whic hbits are crap. If you make a cliam damn right I'll ask you to back it up. If you can't that's your flaw not mine.
I suppose that is a victory of sorts for you SJW types.
SJW: n. Someone who maintains that claims must be backed up with evidence.
Slashdot Mirror
Until then it is.
Either way the result will be interesting.
This is what should have been pointed out to him by someone in the audience. This is the way that you fix idiotic thinking.
Have you met, like... people?
Once someone has their mind set on something, pointing out contradictoray facts only seems to make them more solidly set on it.
He said all these horrible things!
Yes he did. Did you see the slides? They are *horible*. Full of implicit assumptions, bias, shoddy analysis and outright insults. Any good scientist would indeed be horrified him presenting that as "science".
leave your honor intact by making a gentleman's bet... you wouldn't pay anyway... ;)
I was offering that olive branch to you. Should I doubt that you'd pay? You haven't accepted the bet after all.
We'll see. Seems like no one is lining up to do it so we may be in for a wait.
Indeed. It might never come to pass.

20 bucks says it doesn't happen the way you think it'll happen.
This is how it currently is;
Precedence is generally way narrower than you think.
You want it changed,
Do I? Where did I say that?
No we're saying that the best candidates *should* be chosen...
No, "you're" not. At least the post I replied to wasn't.
It's already been decided that gender is self-identified. Anyone (like you) wanting to make it dependent on circumstances is free to argue in court that the way it is now must be changed./em.
Like I said if it's so simple, try it on a judge without a lawyer. Let us know how it goes.
You want to make self-identity contextual?
What I want is immaterial. It's how the law will be interpreted that matters. If you think it's so simple, then take it in front of a judge and I'm sure you'll win. May as well represent yourself: if it's as simple as you seem to think then you won't even need a lawyer.
"I identify as a woman" has already been in front of multiple judges, ya moron./em.
Not in the context of this law it hasn't ya moron.

... No really. Just say "I identify as a woman".
Game over.

Should be placed due to qualifications, not gender.
Company upper upper management being based on qualifications? Yes that would be a vewy novel idea. Let me know when that every happened.
[thing about anti-trans bigotry]
You literally cannot make this shit up.

Or with experience you realise that stepping debuggers are great for some problems and printfs are great for other problems.
So you making unfounded claims is now me trolling.
Mmmm you keep telling yourself that buddy.
And don't worry, I already disregarded your previous post since it contained nothing of value.

Blah blah random tangent instead of addressing the actual point.
PS you're way obsesed with Nazis. You should get therapy or something.
You're full of shit, mate.
