Depends entirely on how much you're paying now doesn't it. But that wasn't the condition that the OP said made him comfortable. He said he'd be okay with legal sex work only as long as the person could otherwise live a

Well, as an example, hermaphrodites.

I get what you're saying and think that's a pretty reasonable view. But why do we see having to use your brain to earn a living, or use your muscles to earn a living as any less exploitative? Why is any job ethical unless someon

Assumed that we were talking about biological men, who identify as female in gender, competing in women's sport. If we're talking about biologically non-binary individuals, it is indeed a difficult conversation about how to be eq

Sure, any biological woman can participate. And if everyone is cool with it, weaker biological men can participate too if they're not capable of competing in the male divisions. Maybe we need a third league for non-binary biology, o

I don't know of any woman has ever been denied entry to woman's sport because she has too much muscular development. Think of the Williams sisters in tennis for example. As for being insensitive to call someone a "man",

By and large such treatments are seen as cheating. Like Lance Armstrong oxygenating his blood before a race etc. Personally as long as it's a level playing field I'd say people should be allowed to do whatever they want. The onl

Fair enough, but the reason they are being excluded from women's sport is because they are not seen as truly women. If they were indistinguishable from women, there would be no way to exclude them without excluding all women. So as

> "because their biological sex is male" but writing that is awkward and the most obvious/common interpretation of "because they are men" is transphobic. This is needlessyly pedantic.

These are thorny issues, and for the record I do want everyone to live a happy and productive life as free from injustice as possible. But from my perspective the accusations of racism, transphobia, and sexism are thrown around way too loo

It's impossible to be completely impervious to all threats, but for your domain name there are some options that may help. For instance there are domains sold outside the reach of specific jurisdictions[1] and there are blockchain dns

If they were not about to remove it of their own accord, but only after being provoked by a troll, they are indeed capitulating -- trying to pretend otherwise just ignores the problem instead of seeing it for what it is.

The only reason for such an organization to exist is to be a clearing house for software; adding a stamp of approval that it is safe and hasn't been compromised by nefarious actors. Such an organization might be funded by a trade asso

by tux1968 6y ago
Sure, you could look at it like that. But their only value would be if they're never (or at least very rarely) actually called upon to act as a scapegoat. All the incentives would be for them to do their job and keep compromised sof

The entire point of such an organization would be to accept the blame if an attack was missed. But there should be no natural monopoly since anyone could offer this vetting service. And as an end user there would be nothing preventing you

by tux1968 6y ago
You're definitely right that decreasing the attack surface will be an important element to improving the situation, but it doesn't really solve the problem completely. Software will always need operational room to do anything use

The only practical way is to have a centralized vetting organization that can give a trusted stamp of approval to signed packages. That would still slow things down, but at least wouldn't require duplication of work by everyone on a m

Even though a few people hinted this had to do with Plan 9, I had to look up that Acme refers to a window-system, shell, and editor environment. Here's a link to save you a search if you're in the same boat: http://doc.

Rebasing private code to clean up WIP commits and break it into logical steps is healthy and a very good practice. But as Linus himself says in the linked mailing list post[1], just don't rebase public code. "In other word

What point are you trying to make? The question was about paying taxes to the IRS, which is the American tax collection agency. The assertion was that Euro's were acceptable to the IRS while BTC was not, but that actually is incorrec

I don't think you can pay in Euros either, you'd have to convert them to good ole USD first, just like BTC.

This is all new to me, and I don't have any interest in BTC at all. But volatility and crazy inflation does happen in the realm of real currencies. BTC is unique because it's happening at the start of its existence rather than i

Not sure if it means anything, but the first thing I do when reading about the price of say some huge tunnel built in Europe is mentally convert the quoted Euro price to USD. Doesn't make the Euro any less real as a currency.
