They are now in the process of killing off Blizzard, a studio that invented soap opera of MMOs and consequently had license to print money for a decade after it released it in 2004.

    Let this be a lesson to any organization that tries to embrace identity politics. SJW eat their own and if you are with them, you are just as likely to be the next meal.

  6. Yes and no. Uploading samples means that these tools can be detected as they exist right now, it doesn't mean that they would be detected after trivial code obfuscation efforts.

    Signature-based detection is a dead-end of IT security evolutionary tree.

    The issue you are describing is not homelessness, but insufficient wages. If blue-collar workers can't live in the general area, then they are not being paid enough. If you are worried about becoming homeless while gainfully employed in IT, then you are not being paid enough.

  9. I heard the weather is great year-round and there are public beaches and surfing, so SF is probably the best locale to be homeless. And now it just got a lot more attractive as there will be more services offered.

  10. Re:WTF were they thinking? on Zuckerberg Rebuffs Request To Appear Before UK Parliament (apnews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I - as an American - were asked to appear before foreign government bodies for questioning, my response would not be so politic.

    They were likely thinking that this foreign US company called Facebook, was conducting business worth billions in their countries with their citizens, likely violating local privacy and finance laws in the process, and before going nuclear with penalties, fines, and extraditions they wanted to give the CEO opportunity to defend his company's actions.

  11. For me, saving the Web from abuse would be to put further measures to guarantee free speech flourishes. This includes criticizing and ridiculing useful idiots like Tim Berners-Lee that would happily see us march into totalitarianism. Make no mistake, web free of offensive content is web that is censored to suppress all dissent, all calls for societal change, all nonconformity.

    Intel says Intel CPUs are great. Yeah, what else are they going to say?

    Modern cars are unnecessary complex to meet safety and emission regulations. These are not "free", they add both upfront and lifetime costs.

    You legislated 40MPG, 5 star offset crash rating, collision avoidance-equipped car and you go it. Only it costs an arm and a leg to buy and repair.

    This is a scam job by a collision center. Putting new fender over such minor dent is outright fraud.
     
    The cheap way to fix this is to massage back metal (i.e. paintless dent removal) then polish it. There will be minor scratches visible, but it will be only couple hundred to fix.

    It seems that parents are no longer teaching their children how to behave in public.

    You simply have no means to correct child's behavior in public if child is not cooperative. Leftist made "discipline" a dirty word and managed to conflate it with child abuse.

    Bullshit. This is how concept of privilege is used by the leftist. They never acknowledge that it is group characteristic, they always tell that YOU as individual have white privilege, that YOU personally benefited from it, therefore YOU shouldn't have any say in X, or should be reverse discriminated to make up for past injustices that probably have nothing to do with you.

    White privilege is an idiotic concept. It is group identity forced on individuals. That white hobo Vietnam vet living under the bridge and burning trash in a barrel to stay warm in the winter and try to explain to me how he is somehow has more privilege than, for example Oprah Winfrey? While you are at that, also explain to me how patriarchy could be worked into all that.

    Another problem is who exactly counts as white. Are Irish white? Are recent Eastern European immigrants white? Are pale-skinned Latinos white? Are pale skinned Turks and Arabs are white? Are Jewish people are white? Are Chinese white? Do they all have the same white privilege?

    At least I agree with you that Democratic party today has f-all to do with progressiveness or classical liberalism. I don't know who to blame this on, I think it is much more complex than "Clinton did it". However, I know that all that effort currently being spent on identity politics is a wasted effort while real issues, like catastrophic wealth inequality or collapse of unions, go undressed.

  25. Re:Wrong question asked on YouTubers Will Enter Politics, And If They Do, They're Probably Going To Win (buzzfeednews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't agree with your analysis, I think weaponized identity politics was invented on the left. Concepts like intersectionality, white privilege and so on are all products of the left. Just look at how many things are now considered racist acts and how trivially easy it is to accuse someone of racism as part of political fight about any topic.

    I think it is wishful thinking on your part to think that mainstream could somehow be in a death throes - after all masculinity, heterosexuality, and to a degree whiteness are still in plurality if not majority. Trying to intimidate and guilt such large population into submission will go only so far, especially if every concession is immediately followed up with more demands.

    Leftism is hopefully losing because it became regressive, dogmatic, and frequently eats its own. I hope its demise means return of left that advocates worker's rights, welfare and economic equality, freedom of speech, and so on.
