Same. It makes it much easier for someone to doxx you.
1·9 months agoI see your point.
I think I would still like it. I don’t have a problem with it not being implemented because other people wouldn’t like it.
If you know who is being toxic, you can block them.
Another interesting concept that came from the discussion over that was “constructive downvote” - requirement of commenting why one downvotes a post.
I think I like that idea.
11·9 months agoAll of my encounters with individuals who feel liberal arts are useless and STEM is the way seem to, at their core, feel that way because of earning potential
You were saying a group of people believe that value as a person is determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance.
Now you’re saying that this group of people believe that value as a person is determined by earnings potential. Those are not the same things.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has abolished any requirement for applicants to use this ancient clicking and buzzing magnetic media when filing official documents. Until last week there were about 1,900 official governmental application procedures that stipulated businesses must submit floppies or CD-ROMs (specifically) containing supplementary data.

In theory
a person’s intrinsic value and overall value to society is not determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance
I don’t think anyone who views contributions in STEM fields as the most valuable to society has any respect for finance.

People listen to it for many reasons.
Verizon got caught installing spy hardware for the government in phone data centers in the mid-90’s.
There was no Verizon until 2000. It might have been Bell Atlantic.
I don’t think refusing to accept a compromise is a logical fallacy.

That’s nice.
KDE is the default DE for Debian these days?
It mentions “a source told the Seattle Times”, but…they didn’t. The Seattle Times was reporting on a purported whistleblower posting to a public forum (what you linked).
I think there are two sources.
The fuselage panel that blew off an Alaska Airlines jet earlier this month was removed for repair then reinstalled improperly by Boeing mechanics on the Renton final assembly line, a person familiar with the details of the work told The Seattle Times.
…
Last week, a different person — an anonymous whistleblower who appears to have access to Boeing’s manufacturing records of the work done assembling the specific Alaska Airlines jet that suffered the blowout — on an aviation website separately provided many additional details about how the door plug came to be removed and then mis-installed.
I will try to not fight with you.
What distinction do you make between regulating and having regulations?
Related to this is that prosecutors have total discretion in the realm of plea deals. If you do a crime here, it becomes a negotiation with the prosecutor.
I agree with you. The justice system should not be “let’s make a deal.”
Yeah, I wasn’t very clear about what I meant.
