Comment Still can't be anonymous AND verifiable. (Score 1) 232

I don't understand how nobody ever mentions this but voting machines can't be both anonymous AND verifiable.
The only way to check on the count is to ask the machine itself so it's no verification at all.
That should be obvious to anyone thinking about it for more than 2 minutes.

You can't discriminate based on race, religion, sexual preference. You can discriminate based on whether or not somebody decides to wear a shirt. This is the way it is because at large, we deem it to be fair and prevent people from being discriminated against based on characteristics that are fundamental to living as they want or were born.

We don't deem being able to live your entire life without wearing a shirt to be fundamental to living your life freely. Pretty fucking simple.

I think you mean that it's somewhat acceptable to discriminate about something someone does, not about something someone is.

What you want is an ideology... a belief system. Science is not a belief system.

I think the whole point is that everything is a belief system, even science.
At some point it always boils down to some core beliefs. Everything else is built on top of them.

And what does it say about feminists if they're acting like an organised religion?

Living in France i've never met anyone being afraid to talk about their religious beliefs.
What I did encounter is people that would rather not say that they are part of a feminist movement.
They grow tired of the endless discussion with people that will argue about realities that they do not understand in any way because they just don't live them from the other side.

I think i'm more aware of the issue than the average guy but i do know that i can't really imagine what it's like to be a woman in our world.

Dear anonymous coward, come back when you've decided to stand for a cause that is being ridiculed at every corner.

Comment Re:Compressed Work Week perhaps? (Score 1) 311

I worked for a manager once that didn't believe that anyone who practiced WFH actually worked when they were at home. His position was, you must be visibly in your cube to be considered to be working. Or, an employee at all. One might argue that just being seen at one's desk doesn't necessarily mean one is working, but I didn't make that argument, because I wanted to keep my job.

Yeah, obviously the guy never heard of presenteeism...

I think the problem is that a code repository is very much a moving target. They didn't say whether they had backups, so they probably didn't and that's stupid, but it would also be a problem if they had a week old backup

I'd take old backups over no backups any day...
