schestowitzA month or so after I did an important series about Gates (Sept. 2019) onwards Gates started paying my boss at work, even though we compete against Microsoft. But I'm sure that's all a coincidence...May 30 05:37
schestowitzI wrote about this in Techrights last month.May 30 05:37
schestowitzBelieve it or not, the payment was done with an NDA. Like the so-called 'charity' is a matter of national security or something...May 30 05:37
schestowitzI did not miss the fact that he became "guest editor" some time later; nor did I have questions about what happened to the piece (I alluded to this several times since...)May 30 05:37
schestowitzThe Verge is nowadays helping Gates frame all his critics as conspiracy nuts.May 30 05:38
schestowitzWhen things like these happen you know you're on the right track. I have a few more stories to tell that are related to this.May 30 05:38
schestowitzDo you still have a recording of our prior chat? I might do... do you have the spiked article?May 30 05:38
schestowitzI would like to collaborate on bringing the above to light. I think these types of things aren't just supported by evidence but are also pretty damning.May 30 05:38

schestowitzYes, I am interested and I wish to also do some text-based stories on the matter. We can exchange ideas and factoids. I can do this patiently and slowly to ensure we separate nonsense from facts.May 30 05:38

schestowitz> ...May 30 05:42
schestowitz> May 30 05:42
schestowitz> of course what im not saying is that freedom of speech means that no matter what you say, people have no recourse whatsoever. that would be a pretty ridiculous intepretation of freedom of speech.May 30 05:42
schestowitz> May 30 05:42
schestowitz> what munroe does say implies leaning on that as a straw man, and makes an opposing argument that is just as ridiculous and one-sided. the truth is not just more nuanced-- its more two-sided as well. and that side, munroe completely fails to represent-- and may even fail to understand. its fans certainly seem to fail to. thats fucking tragic, and the whole thing is a monument to the ridiculously shallow consideration of liberty (May 30 05:42
schestowitzand the importance of communication) by so many. May 30 05:42
schestowitz> May 30 05:42
schestowitz> if munroe really thinks that only **welcome** speech matters, hes a fucking fool. **that would delegitimise all unwelcomed forms of critique-- which is basically what trump wants for himself**, and a free society wouldnt exist without protection for unwelcomed critique. i certainly hope that ive got him wrong. im much more confident about the people who share it. **score one for bumper-stickeresque, facebook-level consideration ofMay 30 05:42

schestowitzThese complaints can be neatly put into a couple of categories - most of which have nothing to do with teaching online:May 30 08:08
schestowitz1. Technical literacy - The author doesn't seem technically literate - most of their tech problems can be described as not knowing how to use technology. Sure, this is a learning curve at first, but hardly a problem with teaching online - it is a problem of not having the training necessary to teach online. This category includes issues like: Email problems, printer problems, researching computers to buy, etc.May 30 08:09
schestowitz2. Issues with online retailers - this is not inherently a problem with teaching online. This is a problem with shopping online.May 30 08:09
schestowitz3. Students complaints - the students complaints could happen online or in-person. May 30 08:09
schestowitz4. Issues with bad online educational software - This category is probably valid. There is a lot of software used by educational institutions that is barely adequate.May 30 08:09
schestowitzThe vast majority of complaints fit into the first three categories, and aren't really related to teaching online.May 30 08:09

schestowitzhttps://www.minds.com/Talon123/ For attractive lips speak words of kindness. For beautiful eyes look for the good in others. To lose weight let go of stress, hatred, anger, discontentment, and the need to control others. To improve your ears listen to the word. For poise walk with knowledge and self esteem. To strengthen your arms hug at least three people a day touch someone with your love. To strengthen your heart forgives May 30 08:10

schestowitzThe pandemic is not "deadly" to most people. The people who would be at risk from in-person voting already qualify for absentee ballots, so this whole "mail-in-voting" is ridiculous and unscientific. Plus, changing the system right before an election is bound to result in a large number of errors (be they fraud or not) - so this whole focus of the media and the left on mail-in-voting is just asking for trouble.May 30 08:26

schestowitz"Thanks for this useful comment. I wish I could read Chinese! Regarding punitive damages: I guess this is more philosophical than practical whether they are "effective in combating IP infringements". Punitive damages exist in the US (although I know some US professors, who believe that the statutory damages concept is not punitive per se), and they are nonsense (counter-productive) in copyright claims against end-users (see file-May 30 10:52
schestowitzsharing cases); they might be effective against big corporations. We have nothing similar in the EU (or, put it better: we have something else), but I don't think that law enforcement is less effective here. What are the other key changes? Does the proposal speak anything new about limitations and exceptions? Thanks!"May 30 10:52
