But the subtext to "taking on Intel" is the idea that IBM can't carve out a niche for itself and that *any* market is a zero sum game where someone has to lose out.
I say that's goddamned hogwash.
"We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."
This is more universally true than a lot of people are willing to let on.
Can IBM Power 8 actually take on x86? Or has that ship already sailed?
They don't need to take on Intel and x86. They just need to make a profit on each system sold.
I seriously don't understand why the tech common wisdom doesn't understand this very basic concept of business logic.
They're not mutually exclusive. Sexual harassment, sexual identity and all sorts of other issues related to sex and body integrity also exist.
So, yes, rape culture extends from a culture of overall but declining violence and but also restrictive and repressive cultural norms around sex.
Because the FCC has done such a FABULOUS job regulating teh airwaves, we just HAVE to get them involved in the Internet!
Actually, yes. The FCC has done a great job with the airwaves. If you can get radio or tv signals to your home, thank the FCC.
The censorship part, not so much.
Saying we have crazy people and blaming it on the crazies hides how bad our violent crime rate is compared to the rest of the developed world.
It's gotten much better than the 60s, but we are still way past the curve here.
yet somehow we don't have a violence problem.
Btw, Florida thinks it's acceptable to stalk an unarmed kid in the middle of the night and then shoot him.
Yes. There is a culture of violence in our society.
Why else would someone decide the only way to deal with someone texting in a theater is to blow their fucking head off?
Or to deal with someone who's music is too loud is to put a gun through the window and start shooting?
1 in 5 women will get sexually assaulted in her life time.
1 in 5 homes will not get burglarized in their entire existence.
No one* is teaching boys it's ok to harass and rape. Just like no one says "you didn't lock your doors enough" when a house is burgled.
Blurred Lines hit #1 on the pop charts. The repeated stories about guys who get away with rape even after it's been reported and there's solid evidence for it. Guys like MMA star War Machine(God help me, that's his legal name) telling people that his ex-GF is his property.
There's all sorts of cultural influences telling men that they're entitled to women's bodies. In essence, we're teaching our children that rape is OK. It's called Rape Culture.
And yes, there's all sorts of antisemitic influences in our culture. Including saying someone "Jewed" you out of money. But that's another rant.
If burglary and child abduction are as common as rape, we would be having a MUCH DIFFERENT conversation.
Rape is really common.
And it happens to people who have taken all the precautions in the world. Telling someone to mitigate the risks while looking at all possible ways for things to go wrong and then saying, "You didn't mitigate risks enough!" is ridiculous.
Stop teaching boys it's ok to harass, rape or feel entitled to women's (and men's) bodies. No, persistence isn't going to pay off. It's just creepy.
There was no rape apology there.
Bull fucking shit.
It's far more likely that you know someone who claims that happened to her. She may even believe it. It's far more likely though, that she drank more than she wants to admit.
Which is why people are not allowing you to conflate the two. Some times alcohol hits you harder than you expect. A lot of women think this means they were roofied (because people like you tell them there's roofies around every corner).
Have I said roofies are around every corner? No.
Nice straw man.
If you get hit with a date rape drug, you will not feel like you got overly drunk in the morning.
stop fucking raping people and covering up rape.
That would mean staring at your beverage the entire night rather than socializing.
This is amazing. The message should always be, "never rape" instead of "don't get raped."
Rape apologia on a tech site!? GASP
There's a huge difference between being slipped a mickey and being extremely intoxicated.
Being able to say no to liquor is extremely easy.
Being able to say no to GHB that's been slipped into your drink isn't.
Griefing in EVE not caused by Goon Fleet?
I'm shocked. Like, genuinely shocked.
If you read the article linked, they're doing it with a cellphone camera too.
Not *great*, mind you, but possible. Thus kind of scary.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
