>while working-class Bangladeshi professionals earn £10,432 less than their white counterparts in the same jobs
I ask this honestly, not attempting to offend, I’m simply curious…but why is it okay to assume negative intention when race/ethnicity is involved. I mean why do I care about this statistic. There’s no nuance here. Discrepancy == bad, per usual.
Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Who said anything about intention? If somebody rear-ends my car by accident, they're still responsible for the damage. My insurance company's lawyers don't accept "Oh well I didn't mean to do it" in lieu of payment. Is there a bona-fide reason that the working-class Bangladeshi professionals should be systematically underpaid?
The reason immigrants are allowed to immigrate is because of their willingness to work for lower wages. Whether you think that's fair or not that's the reality.
Agreed. As an immigrant from Hong Kong to UK, I see many people coming to work for minimum wage. Most of them are quite wealthy and just work to feel like being a part of society.
I don't think free Cloudflare has a usage cap does it?
(My point being it's so easy it probably is 'worth it'? .. Especially after the first time this happens, even if only so you can tell media/bosses/whatever that mitigations have been put in place.)
Is Cloudflare’s free tier available to businesses? My understanding was that it’s for personal and hobby use only.
Airports probably fall under Cloudflare’s “enterprise” tier, which has no billing ceiling (as far as I can tell), even if the bandwidth might be free.
Put another way: I would not want to be the underpaid airport IT guy who has to justify tripling my operational budget because of a DDoS attack that (1) almost never happens, and (2) doesn’t actually affect critical systems.
Last I checked there's no SLA whatsoever until the top-tier "self-serve" plan, and that SLA's not an impressive one.
I've also heard (admittedly, from their competitors, but they turned out to be right about other things) that if your usage gets too crazy they'll encourage you to start paying.
And nb. that 100% of the "self-serve" plans (not the "call us" pricing) specify web traffic, like from a browser. If you're using it for e.g. delivering data to apps you might get away with it, but it's not technically permitted. Again, last I checked.
All things considered, I was expecting there to be much higher gap between genders and ages.
At only one point is there more than a 10% difference. In my experience men and women claim entirely different wants and needs.
The differences between men and women are usually not as dramatic as standup comedy and television make them out to be. The differences aren't dramatic, but they are statistically significant.
Or any other social institution for that matter: religion, newspapers, families, schools, sports, &c. Social institutions are fundamental or at the very least complicit in the legitimization of the social mechanisms of typification. That is to say, licensing the idea and practice that individual behavior can be simplified to types.
We all know the dangers of using oversimplified models in other contexts, but the same applies here and happens to be one of the largest generators of present conflict. It's a classic map-territory problem applied to people themselves and - whether the map makers know this or not - those who control the maps can sometimes also control the territory.
It's a meta-study based on already "summed-up" attributes, so at least two levels of information loss. And it's hardly qualitative. It can easily say, "both want X", but not touch at all "how" they express this want, or how they perceive X.
Yes, giving identical labels to very different phenomena is a big problem in this kind of survey-based approach.
On Maggie McNeill's blog, one post touched on the idea that women want sex to last longer. She pointed out that women do frequently say this, but what they mean is that they want foreplay to last longer.
In my experience men and women's emotional levels aren't very different but how they respond to those emotions can be different because cultural context must also be navigated. In America it isn't manly to express a deep craving for cuddles, but every heterosexual woman I've met have been surprised by how touch-needy men end up being.
Basically this just tells me that people lie on personality tests, or they interpret questions differently. Behaviorism is the only science in psychology. Question answering should be considered a behavior, and not a reflection of internal characteristics. In that light, you essentially have, among men mostly, a behavior, direct presentation of mating intentions, which has been consistently punished, and the opposite behavior, reflection of female mating desires, which has been inconsistently rewarded. The result is either duplicity or avoidance. It seems that the reverse phenomenon may occur for expectations later in the relationship, as evidenced by females initiating 90% of divorces among college-educated women.
When I was in elementary school in South Carolina, they would teach us about fort Sumter and the beginning of the civil war. They explained that the fort was built using palmettos because when shot with a cannonball they would simply absorb the ball and bounce it right back off.
“The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.” - John Adams
I mean it’s obviously fucked and I’d never be the engineer to do it…but whenever I see these massive undertakings of technological censorship, I must admit my first thought is always “damn, imagine the massive logistical challenge that would be”. I mean censoring an entire people, and dealing with all the ways people are getting around your solution, its messed up but I mean holy blue team/devops/netdev/infra challenge Batman.
In this case, it's not really challenging. If I understood the post correctly, they simply map domains to the google-provided IP that forces safe search. That's like several lines of DNS-server config, though you need to do it in each internet service provider.
Apologies if I misunderstood, but in this case wouldn't the workaround be equally as simple? For example one could manually set the dns resolvers of one's own device to 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4
yeah, they probably capture all DNS packets (or packets with answers?) and modify them. That is more effort than a couple of lines in DNS server config.
I haven't thought of it because I assumed Iran already has something like this in place && I didn't consider it as a part of effort of enforcing safe search (though it is)
The PiHole has some integrated logging where you can see the requests that were made. I had several IPs which were doing queries for the same domains dozens of times per second. That wasn't a poweruser but some kind of automated system, probably doing reflection attacks or sth. alike.
I think PiHole has improved since that time, you can now set throttling, but I'm not sure I'd run a public PiHole anymore.
I really don’t understand why generally people who hold this perspective don’t see the irony. You’re saying that everyone is literally being alive incorrectly. I generally agree, however I don’t constantly project that onto others. It seems more and more often this is just becoming yet another method of virtue signaling. If someone wants to spend 14 hours a day working on some shit, and they say it’s how they’d like to spend their time, how the fuck can you feel justified in saying “no you’re wrong, I know better”. This trope is just so toxic IMO. Live your life differently than others, but If you really need the validation of others so badly you have to constantly remind others that you’re really living your life differently, maybe just do the same thing as everyone else…
