schestowitz | I find it frustrating that the zealots who managed to derail the conversation about the LF getting rid of community representation into a gender-based discussion essentially gave Jim a great way of 'addressing' the situation without saying anything material on the matter. How it is even remotely relevant whether a lawyer who's part of a lawsuit against one of the members of the Linux Foundation AND is potentially running for the | Jul 08 13:28 |
schestowitz | board has a dick or not escapes me entirely but Jim obviously jumped on the opportunity it gave him to talk about what would otherwise have been an important topic.

schestowitz | You're still using a fallacy. A couple of them, even. | Jul 08 13:28 |
schestowitz | Other beliefs held don't show anything about the particular subject being discussed. Someone can be wrong about ten things but still right about five others. | Jul 08 13:28 |
schestowitz | The other fallacy is that because you don't like the results of a particular argument that the logic is wrong. For example "women should be denied the vote" is probably (I haven't read his argument) the result of some facts and logic. Just saying that you don't like the end-result of his argument doesn't invalidate it. You'd have to actually find the flaw in it. | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | And not related to fallacies, I often find that arguments with crazy results are what happens when someone very smart and clever is messing around with you, such as the quite logical sounding "proof" that 1+1=3, for large enough values of 1. | Jul 08 13:29 |

schestowitz | Honestly, a five second google would show you the blog posts in which "Vox Day" endeavours to show why women should be denied the vote (I don't recommend reading them, they leave a foul taste in your mouth). His argument is not based on logical reasoning or facts of any sort (no, I'm not linking to the guy, nor am I reiterating his "arguments", they're too unpleasant to type in and I don't want to inflict them on anyone else here). | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | His extreme racism and eliminationism seems unlikely to be based on logic either, but frankly I couldn't get into reading those without hearing my ancestors metaphorically screaming at me so I had to stop. | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | This is not someone who thrives on rational argumentation. His blog is, alas, publically visible, so you're welcome to confirm that by reading it. I don't plan to, not any more. | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | (And the expressed opinions of and beliefs held by an individual *do* very much show the likelihood of correctness of further opinions and beliefs. The single largest predictor that a person will believe in any given conspiracy theory is whether they believe in other conspiracy theories. This is even true for mutually contradictory ones, such as that Elvis was killed by the CIA and that Elvis is still alive. Vox Day's expressed | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | opinions and beliefs are repugnant and based on fear, hatred, and a desire for self-aggrandizement[1]: that strongly suggests that any statement he makes should be considered wrong or at the very least self-serving unless multiply confirmed by other sources.) | Jul 08 13:29 |

schestowitz | Show me the code should be the only criteria. | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | I don't think anyone disagrees that code incorporated into the Linux kernel (or other important open-source software product) should meet certain quality standards. | Jul 08 13:29 |
schestowitz | However, people who can actually code to those standards don't tend to fall fully-formed out of the sky. There are loads of work to be done, and there is a huge untapped reservoir of people who are, in principle, willing to contribute but can't be bothered, for reasons like the toxic atmosphere they're likely to encounter in case their contributions might be found sub-standard (whether they actually are or not). With appropriate | Jul 08 13:29 |

schestowitz | There are people like Karen Sandler who are part of the effort to establish and promote initiatives that provide such training and mentoring to various groups of folks. This effort should be commended. Defaming such people as “SJWs” doesn't help anyone except the egos of those doing the defamation. | Jul 08 13:29 |

schestowitz | In late 2007, Google's chief technologist Michael T. Jones took questions at a UN press conference with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and UN Development Program chief Kemal Dervis promoting Google's involvement in mapping the UN's anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals. Inner City Press, accredited media at the UN, asked Mr. Jones if Google was a member of the UN Global Compact, through which corporations sign up to | Jul 08 23:05 |

schestowitz | Google's Jones at first delayed answering the questions, noting that Google was the third of Inner City Press' three questions -- the first two were to the UN Development Program's Kemal Dervis about the absence of North Korea from the data base, the second to Cisco about censorship. Then, on camera, Jones said he did not know of Google was a member of the UN Global Compact, that he would reply later. Video here, from | Jul 08 23:05 |

schestowitz | I agree. I think we're only grateful for good uptime at the moment, but lots of updating is to be done. For TLS kaniini plans to move the site into 3 containers (one for each CMS), then throw TLS in front of it at a higher level, fronting for the containers. | Jul 08 23:21 |
schestowitz | sudoers is a pain, but let's wait until something breaks as fixing it requires taking the whole HV down anyway and we can use that as a chance to apply s/w updates at the HM. | Jul 08 23:21 |
