Then what is fighting the good fight if not bringing attention to negative attitudes towards women? It's an article about two very overrated writers who treated women terribly and yet rather than critically approach the attitudes of these authors, the article's writer gleefully revels in their chauvinism. I was bringing it to attention since it is very relevant to the article at hand.
I know you are being ironic, but the fact that this is the reply and im getting downvotes just shows how HN thinks about and treats women.
Ugh, the way this writer talks about women is pretty gross. I know its a piece about two of the most macho types in midcentury literature, but must the author of the article really refer to women as "conquests"?
This is some incredibly naive thinking. To build a 'positive future' you need to focus on the problems its facing - otherwise what are you building?
Rubicon's been taking a beating in the market. I hope that AppNexus' IPO along with Snapchats brings some energy back into adtech and new tech stocks.
AppNexus just fired something 14% of their staff in NYC, around 150 jobs. Mostly marketing/sales but I knew a few devs who got canned. Apparently doing some housecleaning before their IPO
Sorry, 'serge', but I am gonna call out things the president-elect says - such as that three million people voted illegally in the last election - as what they are: grade A bullshit.
The reason why so much of it was negative is because the majority of things he said were flat out lies or smearing other people.
Ah yes because the mainstream media censored Trump so much. I didn't see any coverage of him or his views anywhere! And I certainly didn't see the bullshit he said just simply parroted and repeated in newspaper headlines without any clarification or fact checking at all.
Give me a fucking break.
So you'd rather them be impersonal and haughty?
Personally I have less respect for "detached" institutions nowadays. It removes them from the concerns of their users and attendees and creates an echo chamber. I love that you can directly petition companies with twitter and air grievances against them in public. It's high time companies act like they are run by and for humans and not just some black box of capital.
Also it's a dictionary - it's supposed to engage and work with language. And right now, twitter is where a lot of new usage of language is being fomented.
Except it is. The text of the 13th amendment:
>Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a
punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
"Except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted..."
Hundreds of thousands of Americans toil away in prisons as free labor due to "tough on crime" policies and the militarization of police forces. McDonald's, Whole Foods, Walmart, they all use prison labor where the prisoners get paid literally cents an hour and sometimes not at all.
There were big prison strikes and protests about it earlier this year - https://theintercept.com/2016/09/16/the-largest-prison-strik...
It's terrifying.
>Judging by this article and others, "alt-right" seems to be turning into another way of saying "politics I don't like and wish weren't taken seriously" - not that it ever referred to any particularly coherent movement in the first place, but those in the media can't seem to further dilute the label quickly enough, and even those who formerly adopted it seem to be starting to move away.
The term "alt-right" was coined by Richard Spencer and initially referred specifically to his paleoconservative brand of ethno-nationalism. Now it is a broader term, yes, but it's meaning is generally intact.
Impact matters more than intent.
That was the impression I got as well - after all this has all the hallmarks of some Bennington grad's "social experiment" - but they went about it in the worst way possible. Rather than say satire or even their own reportage, they simply lied and raked in the dough.
Unfortunately the media isn't going anywhere. NYT, who got it so wrong when it mattered the most, added 41k net subs in the week following the election
These people are honestly scum, representing the apotheosis of cynicism in politics and media. If Facebook had any shred of credibility left they'd shut them down now after this article.
Wow! Thank you for explaining that to me. Surprising.
A country doctor recommended it to us. We put it through the trial and then went to the judgement. All in all it saved us a lot of money and we are hunger artists no more.
Hey! An open source distributed messaging stream is just not another Apache Java project. Kafka's made my life a lot easier at work.
>Why can't you give this man a chance?
I did. Then he immediately brought on a white nationalist as his closest advisor and is apparently going to name a southern good ol' boy who thinks marijuana is straight up the devil as his Attorney General. Chance thoroughly blown.
Here is a processing program to do ASCII art that has depth info, color, and is animated -
http://pastebin.com/bz1pKAKQThe logic is pretty simple to translate to other languages. This doesn't do the boundary or structural stuff as described in the paper but is a reasonable start for someone interested. Personally I don't like that sparse looking style of ascii art.
The idea of names as power comes from pre-unified Ancient Egypt in which (i may have gotten the kingdoms mixed) the upper kingdom's religious rituals included the use of secret and ceremonial names known to only an elite literate cabal. From there the religion developed to include aspects of secret names for anything and everything and religious texts indicated that people believed once they learned something's secret name they would be able to exert control over them.
In fact, most of the concepts one associates with 'magic' (sigils, astronomical connotations, power words) derive from the Ancient Egyptian religion. See Wallace Budge's "Egyptian Magic" for an excellent treatment on the subject. His book has tons of direct primary source examples that are very entertaining (people turning into crocodiles, priests trying to shape the outcome of wars by creating effigies, lots of fun stuff)
Henge horizontal docking station. Lots of extra USB ports and not that invasive of a footprint. Some people have had issues with power but I have yet to run into any.
Wow I didn't even think about that. Scary.
>I'm not sure how reliable this particular study is, but it's a common enough worry that it's worth making the voting systems more robust just to avoid even the appearance of fraud or tampering.
And thus we witness the power of rhetoric and 'truthiness'. Voter fraud, especially non-citizen voter fraud, is simply not an issue in the US election system, but the fears that it is allow restrictive and disenfranchising legislature to be passed http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/misleading-myth...
I flagged it because:
- Incredibly clickbait title that is in no way backed up by substantive fact
- It is old (2014) and not tagged as such
- The intellectual contribution is nil. Even the body that put out the dataset used in the study said NOT to use its dataset in this way as it is misleading
What good is a study that "speaks" to important issues when the samples it has are flawed, the methodology is faulty, and the conclusions are wrong? Is this what living in post-truth is like, where as long as something is 'related' or 'speaking' to issues it is counted as genuine material for discourse?
Right? The conservative narrative is that undocumented persons can act with impunity and soak up benefits etc, but all the immigrants friends I have are scared shitless of getting in trouble or caught by the police outside a sanctuary city because it puts their whole lives in jeopardy.
