Bunch of indoctrinated liberal arts morons don't even realize they spent years memorizing and regurgitating derp.
This is in no ways limited to liberal arts. In the US, there's a focus on ridiculous not-even-wrong bullshit such as "gender studies" that's a religion of sorts -- but in Poland, through the entire elementary, middle and high school, kids have two hours a week of literal "religion" (and this name refers to "The Only True Religion" (catholicism in this case) rather than knowledge of religion in general) -- and there's plenty of religious indoctrination on other subjects as well. And this is pretty tame compared to Iran, Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan. And through most of history, religion was usually the only thing teached to kids.
So whether the religion in question identifies as being one or not, a good part of education effort is wasted at best -- or outright harmful, as it teaches people to Rightthink without questioning.
If highly-specific minority groups are so awesome, they can make their own companies and compete with other companies made up of highly-specific minority groups.
Sure, let's try. Let's assume that women are paid only 75% money for the same job. So, here's a business idea: hire only women! To have them work for you rather than competition, give them a 6.6% raise, thus 80% of what a man would get. This leaves 20% pure savings, that you can use to lower prices, pass to shareholders, or get yourself another jet. A nice plan no reasonable company would walk away from.
(Obviously both your argument and the above idea ignore individual variance -- but the key part is that average ability of different groups differs.)
Why would you care about creation date? Git doesn't preserve it, and even in tools that do, timestamps will usually be mangled when someone copies the code around (even cp doesn't default to -p). Thus, those 70% of copied files from the article would have almost all dates different even when byte-to-byte identical.
A non-broken hash is enough. SHA1 is somewhat broken: known collisions exist, but those are not very interesting, and git has a modified version of SHA1 that detects the attack and uses an incompatible hash on such files.
Alas, whatever Cyrillic you wrote doesn't work on a site that fails at Unicode. Plus, -ski implies Poland (although, as we had been occupied by Russia for 144+2+52 years in the recent history, there's lots of Polacks, usually naturalized, there). And current Polish government is full-tilt national socialist[1], thus the kind of propaganda differs.
[1]. I don't mean this as an insult but a fact/opinion: NSDAP was mostly about race not nation, and not that keen on socialism either -- while our govt keeps talking about Germans trying to control us economically and via EU law, Ruskies doing subterfuge, Jews as usual, and Muslims trying to invade us and make non-white, all while enacting policies that come straight from communist times.
It'd be nice if Google could also do something to certain other kinds of propaganda as well. Ones that promote racial and gender discrimination. James Damore did some research they can use.
Sadly, a majority of web pages are unusable or seriously degraded with NoScript. Even Slashdot is uncomfortable to read.
That's why I use RequestPolicy to kill most third-party stuff, but default to allowing first-party scripts. Certain offenders then get smacked down with YesScript.
It's not, as systemd boots slower than sane inits. This doesn't stop this reason from being included in systemd advertising (although they've mostly moved to touting other fake advantages).
Keep holding your breath for the day when people will be ditching Linux because it has a vastly improved init system.
Well, which one do you have in mind? Because I can't think of one that's drastically better than others, although there is one that's drastically worse.
Seriously, how many do you actually need though? Two or three?
Need: AdBlock Plus, bug489729, Classic Theme Restorer (for sane UI), Cookie Monster, DNSSEC/TLSA Validator, I don't care about cookies (EU sites are useless otherwise), Open in Browser (you can't view a goddamn diff otherwise!!!1!elebenty-one!), RequestPolicy, Sage, YesScript (too many sites have anti-AdBlock javascript).
Want for privacy: Canvas Blocker, Decentraleyes, Google Privacy, google-no-tracking-url, Smart Referer.
The rest merely make life nicer. And indeed, OverbiteFF is dead weight.
easier to delete all the operating system integration, keeping only the codec proper, and write a new Web Audio API integration
That can work if all you want is some codec, rather than making audio work at all. That "Web Audio API" won't work if the browser itself can't output sound.
The kind of idea dreamed up by technology fans who haven't got the slightest clue about the actual challenges facing the kids there.
Those guys do know this better than you, it's just that their aim is not as benevolent as you'd expect.
Getting teachers there would cost orders of magnitude less than "one iPad per child", but won't line the pockets of people interested in their pockets being lined.
Any technological device would also end up being robbed by the local warlord. This is the primary obstacle for making sub-Saharan Africa less of a hellhole.
AdBlock Plus (the WebExt version is useless, BTW), bug489729.

And I don't consider myself extension-heavy, compared to other users I have seen.
Then download the source code for the plug-in, exercise your right under the source code's free software license to transpile it to JavaScript and port it to the Web Audio API, and use one of the *monkey extensions to insert it into every page that requires said plug-in. Or hire someone to.
How exactly do I "transpile" a honest LD_PRELOAD library (and its dependencies) to JavaScript? And how do you propose to call ioctls from JavaScript injected into a page?
Out of 37 extensions I use, there are WebExt equivalents for, *drumroll* 11. That much only because I spent some time looking for replacements.
APIs that would be required to reimplement those extensions aren't even coded yet, and any code that gets merged (which usually takes months) needs additional 18 weeks to percolate into an unstable ("non-ESR") release. With Firefox 52 EOL in June, the chances enough of extensions required for sane use will be ready by then are about nil. And the default, with nothing for privacy but tons of junk like Pocket or Telemetry, is almost as far from sanity as Chromium.
I guess it's time to look into packaging Waterfox or another fork.
Leftists will normally welcome people regardless of what's in their pants
Are we on the same planet? Lemme check: Earth, Sol System, Milky Way, Laniakea?
There's a lot of bad that can be said about rightards: keeping a single coal power plant kills a human per two days with just short-term pollution, long term pollution threatens to make Earth unhabitable, corpo takeovers, etc -- but I don't see them discriminating based on gender in any noticeable way. Lefttists on the other hand can't shut up about imagined "privilege" checks.
It's like them calling your Dear Leader a "nazi". It's mind-boggling -- it's pretty hard to find anything good to say about the guy, yet somehow the Left accuses him nearly exclusively of a flaw he doesn't happen to have. Who's a nazi: someone whose first foreign visit was to Israel, whose daughter converted to judaism, etc -- or the likes of Sanders or Zuckerberg who can't stop spewing praise of a "murder the whites" movement?
There's no way to change one's gender yet. If you're interested, there's porn with MtF individuals: unlike the vast majority of regular porn, such persons try to avoid any penetration of their ersatz vaginas. Thus, if you really want to stick your pecker into an artificial vagina-like object, there are ways to do so that don't involve crippling a human.
Once such technology appears, then we can talk about becoming a gender other than that you were born with.
But then, looking at your posting history: "Race is a social construct, not biological, so a race is whatever enough people define it to be, idiot." -- WTF? Newsflash: at the very least, race makes some people better at synthesizing vitamin D but worse at resisting strong sun. This is enough to prove that race is a biological fact -- yet somehow you insist on calling everyone who says so an "idiot". What this fact implies is a different matter (somehow, both right and left want to give one of the sides an unfair bonus).
Sorry, neither race nor gender are mere social constructs. You don't get to decide that 2+2=5 just because that's what your religion says.
You clearly don't know the Japanese society. Unbelievably racist.
Yet you can walk on the street in Japan and not get assaulted. Try walking through a black district in an US city, while white -- not a healthy idea. I've ever been to the US just twice, but both times some friends made such a mistake and had to negotiate to keep their faces in one piece. The US is incredibly racist.
I think the implication was that jews are usually left-wing and jews think circumcision is required. He's greatly overestimating the size of the jewish population though.
Uhm, I don't exactly see Jews as left-wing -- although there's a lot of ex-Jews on the left. And I definitely was not speaking of circumcision (which is bad, but that's another matter) but of so-called "gender reassignment" (mutilation as no technology to change anyone's gender exists yet). Although for the latter, you don't need to actually get your genitals mutilated, lying about this and wearing makeup is just as good.
But, my point is that both sides have a fixation on your skin color (white vs black) and genitals (Nazis: circumcised? die!, 70% of current USians: must be circumcised, SJWs: must be a woman but transgender is greatly preferred).
What is in your pants is -- should be -- totally irrelevant. Likewise, giving a bonus to anyone based on skin color is strongly harmful. But both are the main part of identity politics.
Quantum is no silver bullet. Basically only public key cryptography is in a need of overhaul, as algorithms we currently use, chosen for nice short keys, are vulnerable. Elsewhere, it's not an issue: for example it's proven that a quantum algorithm can break a hash of no more than twice the length than an equivalent non-quantum computer. Yes, double the hash length is an exponential speed-up, but the only effect is hashes being slightly more cumbersome to read for a human.
Compared to current state of countries like the US, Japan looks quite sane to me. For example: some of US right considers you to be a subhuman if your dermis has the wrong color, or your genitals are mutilated (or not) -- while a sizeable chunk of US left *drumroll* considers you to be a subhuman if your dermis has the wrong color, or your genitals are not mutilated.
Same with sky fairies, or their equivalents (ideologies that have all the hallmarks of a religion yet don't identify with being one): try to worship the wrong one, or a slightly different denomination, and you can fear for your life.
Virtualization causes a severe slow-down, while Wine is exactly as native as WinXP/7/8/10 (ie, they implement WinAPI atop POSIX and NT respectively).
Optimizedness may differ, but there's no reason one would be markedly faster than the other, at least in principle. This can't be said of full virtualization.

This could be a lot easier if you had content-addressable storage that refers to objects by their SHA1 hash.
