That’s quite a gun fantasy you have.

Indeed, that’s often true too.

I don’t know what to say to that. I didn’t say it matters, and I was trying to participate in the discussion thread.

My opinion is that the spirit of DEI is good, but sometimes I have personally witnessed first hand a decline in performance standards. I’ve worked for years with/near the federal government and I’ve seen what appears to be a particularly blatant DEI push at the cost of performance.

And an Asian colleague recounted to me that a school he was trying to send his child to had recently come under pressure to “loosen” their admittance test requirements because white and Asian folks were overrepresented. I’m sure you’re aware of the similar controversies at universities over the last decades.

When it comes to DEI, I’m not against any people or class of people, but it’d be intellectually dishonest to not recognize the inherent conflict here when you start considering people’s race as an admittance factor. Maybe the intention is to only give the minority an edge when performance with a white peer is exactly the same, but that’s not precisely what happens every time. It’s not something that makes me angry, and it may even be the right thing to do, at least in some cases. I only recognize it.

Cheers.

Yeah, sad times.

Very far from a Trump voter and I’m disappointed to see presumptive and confrontational behavior from you. You’re normally levelheaded.

That’s certainly one possibility. I think it’s the other possibilities that folks have strong feelings about.

How do you think DEI hiring works? Not a rhetorical question, I’m interested in your thoughts.

I think the implication is that they’re not being chosen solely on their qualifications. So that would imply a lower bar and lower performance.

They made a good point, though.

I think it needs to be on the client app (web browser) before it gets sent thru the VPN. Your router won’t be able to read the http header to see what the URL is (to decide which VPN to use).

You can use foxyproxy (browser extension) with SOCKS5 proxies to ssh tunnels to various hosts based on the URL pattern. Maybe too kludgey for your use case.

Source?

Good points

Pretty good… for a trans? Is that the message?

To calculate a speed, you need 2 different locations at some time delta (2 different times). How is recording locations, even just 2 over the span of some time delta, not “tracking”?

To spiderface*

Wouldn’t the property owner already own the house?

Of course. Is there a different way to see it?

I can’t hear what you’re saying because I’m transfixed by your big muscles.

It sure did, the replies to your comment prove it. You were replying to someone who suggested we apply Cuba treatment to Russia. Russia was the subject here.

Miscommunication happens and I see you don’t really want to hear about it.
