my gender is hacking
"it’s patriarchy that says men are stupid and monolithic and unchanging and incapable. It’s patriarchy that says men have animalistic instincts and just can’t stop themselves from harassing and assaulting. It’s…
I don't have the reference to hand, but it's worth noting that when women use only 20% of conversation time, they are perceived by a group to be dominating the discussion. The same thing is in effect here, basically. A…
It's great to see that I'm not the only one who likes to use this approach! :) That is probably the best example of this tactic I've seen, very well written. [Also, I couldn't let this comment thread go without this…
Whilst your average person at home may not be able to fork out $1.4M, this is in the afordable range of many medium to large businesses, and opens up access to private compute clusters* The highest cost for…
I am of the opinion that businesses are defined by how they handle the exit of customers more than by how they handle take-on of customers. A customer being difficult to manage or not profitable still deserves a…
1 to 3 of your above list are about determining and uderstanding, not influencing. Sure, ultimately this would be about influencing, but you can't really do that without the former being well-understood first. Arguably,…
Changing your name is not an option for many people: 1) In many parts of the world, this is a complex process in and of itself. Often you need to petition a court, and to place notices in local papers. 2) Names have…
On 3, Bruce Schneier has the following advice, which seems a little more sensible than wiping your devices in all cases: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/laptop_securit...
after much deliberation, the typo has been corrected :P Clearly my regular keyboard is showing solidarity with the issues I have been having with swype on my phone today :P
19 years old & English - this was kind of obvious, really. In my experience, people interested in hacking and infosec over the age of 25 are more likely to know about 2600 and hold it in some regard, unlike those…
Unfortunately for LulzSec, they lost any respect I could have had for them when they went after 2600 (As far as I can gather, someone they were [potentially rightfully] in a dispute with used the 2600 irc servers. Go…
I can also confirm that a lot of interesting things did go on weeks or months ago for some people. More than that I can't say.
Let's be honest. This is racist. There's really no avoiding that. But it's also "ironic racism". Whilst this is problematic from a minority rights campaigner point of view, when in a group of friends who understand that…
You're missing an option: I'm a [person] who wants to create thoughtful moments for my [Significant Other]. Not hard to add, and there are lots of good reasons to include non-gendered options.
You're missing the point. The issue is not the raw numbers, but the pychological problem - that people like you are not in power, or not as equally holding power. That you are not of the type of people who have power.…
It's not worse. It's not better. It's a different aspect of the same issue. We only really develop a proper understanding of gender around the age of 7, but influences before then set up the mindstates to come, and help…
The list is a generalisation across all fields, so discounting it based on how something might not be true in your field is a bit short-sighted. #1 is true still for many fields. Of course, the link you provided wasn't…
As a sign of good faith in the community here, I've removed the link for now :)
