Following this rationale, one would also argue that requiring companies to use plain English in privacy policies is a constraint on the end-user's freedom.

I just want to say that I found Matrix's synapse server pretty easy to setup.

It's an interesting suggestion, but it may also distract from the sexism issue. For instance, the company in question discriminates against women when it comes to promotion of employees. I have a friend who worked at a very well known

Nice! I like that basically now you have an e-mail interface to Evernote. What I like about that is that you get all operating systems for free and crazy robustness in terms of forwards compatibility (at least, on the client-side).

I've been working on `moncat`, a tool that concatenates e-mails. It's very 'Unix-y' in the sense that it's supposed to do this and only this. I created it because I wanted to have a way to make notes without being d

In spirit of findings new paths, just an idea (and I'm not sure at all that this is a practical solution): fail2ban---a tool commonly used in servers to automatically block remote attackers such as spammers---can be configured to autom

Just a couple of thoughts. Is the market really so bad that Google needs to invade people's privacy to this extent in order to grow? I bet Google's CEO will not use the products himself. Google is almost behaving like a pusher, pr

I don't think you can really conclude that it works based on the linked research data. I'm assuming you're referring to table 12, where they compare the percentages of incidents with the pre-Nordic model study. I think you ca

I am not a doctor but I suspect that it has a lot to do with our physical limitations. I think a big impacting factor from the adjustments made to the program is the fact they created study groups. Many students are socially isolated, that

I think that there are a significant number of men that are opposed to the idea, even among the men that concur. Plenty of men are afraid to voice their true opinion because they fear being shamed as being sexists or worse, cowards, not men

Codes of conduct are cop outs, we have laws already! Victims of sexual harassment need to call the police, like people should also do in any other case of injustice... This is a scare tactic that generalizes, therefore insults men who have

This article is heavily biased. Consider that the case of the other 59%(!) is not explored in the article even a little bit... You'd think a position paper that is proposing solutions would at least cover potentially existing solutions

I can't help but think that the spirit of free software, namely control over your computing/computer, is more relevant today than it ever has been. Just that the problem doesn't really seem to be in any particular computer pr

Sorry, I think this is not an argument for denying the existence of a by-men-for-men movement. Maybe it's current incarnation is fucked up but your argument is just fatalistic thinking. Besides, feminism is not immune to crazy people e

Cool, but your last sentence goes too far. There is politics to worry about. Hasn't feminism proven that a non-partisan stance (egalitarianism) is less effective politically than a partisan one? I can accuse you of the same 'vindi

That's true, there are many legitimate reasons for women to be standing up for men in that way. Even so, a male centered movement is bound to stand up for men's rights in a more complete way, simply because then men have their own

Regardless of club affiliation, generally speaking it makes no sense to have women stand up for men's rights. Men need to stand up for men's rights because then at least you can assume authenticity based on shared self-interest. I

This is also the impression i get from the first chapter where his point seems to be that no amount of hip software methodologies can replace an intelligent, experienced software engineer.

I recently saw the documentary We're Not Broke about how most (if not every) multinational do tax evasion in America. It's being claimed that actually most politicians there know what's going on and know how to solve it (tax

I think the general concept is good, very good. This could be a huge factor in solving the problem of bullying. But I fear that this is also a program that goes to the extreme to 'fix boys'. For instance: notice that one of the ar

What do you mean, women are under-represented in tech? As in: it needs to be 50/50 men and women? Or as in: the ratio of men/women working in tech should reflect the ratio of men/women who'd like to have a tech job?

Arithmetic has a uniform syntax. Here’s an argument for standardizing the syntax of well understood programming concepts: "Node.js programs are developed using JavaScript, this means that the silos that existed between frontend develop

And maybe that is todays reality because JavaScript cant really do anything else. Give a kid a hammer and all problems become nails.

I ran the Quake 3 demo. It was frameskipping all over. Performance was not acceptable for even playing. I think 10-15 fps. No, its not my laptop. My laptop has no problems with real Quake 3. I want to ask you to take a step back and look at

True in the sense of multiple cores, instead of just asynchronous execution on a single thread. Anyhow, it was just an example... What I'm trying to say is that we want to really explore the capabilities of the web as a platform for co
