Remember the good old days, when Google didn't have a browser and Googlers donated generously to public benefit nonprofits like Mozilla?
The real issue is allowing folks with a fat salary to advocate in bad faith against a healthy internet. (Along with shit like moving the Chrome team into the same building as Mozilla HQ and poaching employees for years.)
There's a lot of woo woo in forensic science -- folks were lucky Ted Bundy left behind so much evidence, since things like bite mark evidence paired with an illegal search leading to his initial arrest made him nearly walk free.
(I took a forensics course once, it's astounding how mixed in with very good and cool stuff like DNA testing there's so absolutely wild nonsense)
>You wouldn't consider it weird to join say a hiking club to make friends as the primary goal over just the hiking.
I'm queer. I think the issue in the OP is more like that one episode of Community where someone who's very advanced at pottery takes a pottery course -- nothing wrong with meeting people in a class. Nothing wrong with having people see your kindness as attractive because you do things like organize a study group.
The problem becomes if you only let someone like Jeff Winger learn from you, and turn away the Shirleys. (To keep with the "community" analogy :))
I agree there's nothing wrong with joining something to be social, the issue is hiding your skill level or purposefully competing below it...
I think one people miss is that lack of interaction can be a form of harassment.
>we routinely have cases where a young man is leading open labs as if they're a teacher themselves (in order to "wow" their female classmates, offer "private free tutoring sessions", etc). Some of the young students in my class take up these offers, and this further demoralizes other female students seeing this happen (i.e. only attractive women being offered tutoring sessions).
Imagine how it must feel to be sincerely interested, possibly struggling because they didn't have a great K-12 experience and thus didn't have things like pre-Calc or AP credits and then... being brushed aside so someone can "tutor" their crush 1:1?
Speaking as someone who's had the unpleasant experience of having someone treat me differently at work based on if I'm "datable", it's incredibly demoralizing, it makes you want to leave an entire field. On my end it made me leave a specific strain of research, but had it happened earlier on I'd have probably switched majors entirely.
I'm sorry for your situation but this is just ridiculous.
You cannot ever harass someone through non-interaction, which is by definition aggresive and unwanted interaction.
People complaining the women aren't being offered enough "private tutoring" in a post about how men offering women "private tutoring" being harassment.
Being mildly autistic you can see why I don't date either gender with ridiculous sentiments like these being blown around.
>You cannot ever harass someone through non-interaction
Maybe not harass, but it's a form of discrimination -- only giving professional opportunities to people willing to fuck you is absolutely not kosher.
>Being mildly autistic you can see why I don't date either gender with ridiculous sentiments like these being blown around.
I'm also on the autistic spectrum, and I've never had an issue finding partners, and I doubt that complaints about tutoring are the reason your sex life has taken a pause.
>>Being mildly autistic you can see why I don't date either gender with ridiculous sentiments like these being blown around.
> I'm also on the autistic spectrum, and I've never had an issue finding partners,
This is a major difference between males and females and it is hard to get either side to understand the experiences of the other. As a guy on the spectrum who managed to cross over somewhat to the dating side, I have sympathy for the OP's confusion. You may also have some confusion, but it doesn't stop you from having a relatively normal life.
It sounds like everyone in the class can clearly see what's going on, which means there's probably not a lot of "tutoring" going on in these 1:1 sessions. So no need for the other girls to worry much about that. That said, even if they were I'm not seeing the problem. If two people start dating is one not allowed to help the other with homework now because it's "unfair" to single people? I helped my wife (then girlfriend) with her work in college. In fact I helped her in her 1 semester general optics course in the physics department when one of my majors was optical science, so almost the exact same situation (though we met in a math class). Should I have offered to help her classmates too? Does it make a difference that she's older than me? Or that the other students didn't know I was giving her 1:1 attention?
I get that rejection is demoralizing. Probably almost any man understands that. But we can't exactly expect people to prioritize fairness to everyone in their personal relationships, nor does it make sense to ban students from seeking those relationships.
> Imagine how it must feel to be sincerely interested, possibly struggling because they didn't have a great K-12 experience and thus didn't have things like pre-Calc or AP credits and then... being brushed aside so someone can "tutor" their crush 1:1?
Imagine how life must feel for these males, who, desperate for attention, spend large amount of effort going to classes which are useless to them, solely to get it (potentially). And then they're, IDK, reading threads on HN about themselves being _predatory_ and _manipulative_. Because they tried.
But of course, men don't matter. Can't wait 'till society decides to cull unattractive men or something - they're "dangerous" after all. I guess world war would be really handy, so that people unworthy of empathy can be dealt with.
I mean, seriously. You're blaming them for not trying to interact with people they're not attracted to?
Do you blame attractive women for not interacting with unattractive men? Ever thought about it?
> I think one people miss is that lack of interaction can be a form of harassment.
I don't think you actually think, that - be honest with yourself, have you ever spoke up on behalf on incels, claiming that they are actually a group of harassed males because females are ignoring them?
>be honest with yourself, have you ever spoke up on behalf on incels, claiming that they are actually a group of harassed males because females are ignoring them?
"Involuntary celibate" is a rapey, entitled, oxymoron of a phrase. Everyone wants physical affection.
I remember being distressed after the Elliot Rodger shooting, and discussing in therapy how I was... not like that... and still very lonely. I developed an eating disorder, because I had my PhD adviser and coauthors trapping me in academia by playing fast and loose with reccomendations -- only giving good ones if it'd benefit them getting tenure and keep me working on their grants, and meanwhile I had zero social life despite trying very hard.
(In retrospect, I should have taken a year off of drinking and dating and given it another go when I was healthier rather than fail upwards onto K Street, but that's a story for another day.)
Anyways... I'm talking about refusing to tutor someone unless they're pretty, not refusing to date them.
If you shut down any "fatties" or "uggos" who ask you how to smash the stack, you're engaging in a form of harassment.
I'm sorry that correctly stating a fact (giving different levels of support depending on if you've got romantic prospects) is a form of harassment apparently triggered so many.
Not only have I not spoken up for incels, I've actively advocated they should feel free to exit this planet (sans spree killing) if they feel that upset about their dating prospects.
(I'm not in the best place myself -- I got some bad advice on how long it takes to get an EU passport, so I'm stuck in a country I don't consent to living in with no job prospects because I'm not some alt-right lunatic and tried to stick up for people. But at least if I decide to leave this earth, I'll do it alone. But at least I know I can dial out for a booty call if I get sad, because I'm not some weirdo.)
> Anyways... I'm talking about refusing to tutor someone unless they're pretty, not refusing to date them.
Yeah, still not harassment. Discrimination maybe, definitely not harassment in any known dictionary.
> I'm sorry that correctly stating a fact (giving different levels of support depending on if you've got romantic prospects) is a form of harassment apparently triggered so many.
I don't think you know the difference between harassment and discrimination.

Are you or are you not claiming that $GENDER_A ignoring $GENDER_B is a form of harassment?
If you're making the claim that MEN ignoring WOMEN is a form of harassment/discrimination, but WOMEN ignoring MEN isn't, then you're experiencing some severe form of cognitive dissonance.
>I don't think you know the difference between harassment and discrimination.
Semantic difference. It's discrimination to only help the hotties.
>If you're making the claim that MEN ignoring WOMEN is a form of harassment/discrimination, but WOMEN ignoring MEN isn't, then you're experiencing some severe form of cognitive dissonance.
I've had folks politely turn down coffee, but I literally never had a female classmate refuse to help me with something related to an engineering course.

It was on the most recent version of iOS at the time of the last major backup prior to the loss (Late June, 2022). So macOS Version 12: "Monterey" and iOS version 13. (So it's a backup of an iPhone, accessed via finder)
I had a look but... I didn't see anything covering this.
Just to be clear: it's a situation where hashcat goes "yup, here's the password" but typing that into finder to restore gives an error.
I'm hoping maybe there are command line tools to recreate the gui functionality that might give additional explanation why it... feels... the key is wrong.
(I hate to sound so odd, but... I feel like I'm a teenager struggling with the CLI for the first time in a very long time. I've never had something this unusual happen, and I'm struggling to understand how a tool like hashcat can say yup that's the password... then have it not be accepted.)
I'd really prefer not to post a screenshot with the key but I guess I could if that's what it takes... this is years of photos, all lost, if this key is not accepted.
To be clear, I have a dicionary file with 4 possible keys to reduce chances I was fat fingering, and it explicitly said one worked

Depends on how you define “glacial” - America hadn’t been a true democracy long, we only passed the 19th Amendment in 1920, and most ppl wouldn’t define an election where half the population is ineligible as democratic.
I first discovered this piece in 2016, in the throes of a deep depression at seeing how the sausage is made on K Street.
These two paragraphs are what grabbed me most, as someone who began to form memories as the USSR crumbled:
>Mr. A has a life that is established according to a certain form of personal behavior. Although he has no money, his unostentatious distinction and education have always assured him a position. He has never been engaged in sharp competition. He is a free man. I doubt whether ever in his life he has done anything he did not want to do or anything that was against his code. Nazism wouldn’t fit in with his standards and he has never become accustomed to making concessions.
>Mr. B has risen beyond his real abilities by virtue of health, good looks, and being a good mixer. He married for money and he has done lots of other things for money. His code is not his own; it is that of his class—no worse, no better, He fits easily into whatever pattern is successful. That is his sole measure of value—success. Nazism as a minority movement would not attract him. As a movement likely to attain power, it would.
The real issue IMO is that history is oddly cyclical - probably due to mass media overfocusing on body counts like those in Hitler’s Germany rather than regimes like the GDR which had fax machines, modems, and a secret police who made the Gestapo look like amateurs.
We forget how close in history totalitarianism is, partly because of measures like “no child left behind” that ensure kids today won’t have the free time to develop true critical thinking skills.
(By accident or design? I couldn’t possibly comment.)
As to 19A (and theory and practice of democracy) I note that Switzerland didn't have full female federal suffrage until 1990. Horrible reactionaries! And yet, since 1990, they have had 5 different female Presidents, serving a total of 8 terms...
Mr. A reminds me of le Guin's Dispossessed, in which an anarchist physicist is surprised (and dismayed) to find his paleo-aristo colleague is one of the few people on his own planet who behaves in a manner our anarchist protagonist would consider free.
Mr. B reminds me of a character from one of the (non-Nazi) Mitford sisters' novels, who did indeed marry for status, just as his spouse married for industry and elbows. Not all Daisy's spurn their Gatsby's.
(and, as the USSR crumbled, should it surprise us that the Gorbi's would be crowded out by Mr. B's? Единая Россия has a strange adjective ["Indivisible"] for a party that claims to be running an антифашистская спецоперация, but as their "presidential debates" seem to have been put on mainly to mock the format, I'm not sure if the irony is entirely unintentional)
I recently learned (from HN?) that Microsoft was already incorporated while Spain was still fascist (by a few months...but still!) and I had an impression, when visiting this century, that discussing Dali was welcome, but discussing the fate of the Republic was a bit "too soon".
[as to the antepenultimate paragraph: I had guessed the young Pound might've been in the never Nazi camp, but time and chance and bitterness indeed led the elder Pound right to Mussolini.]
>As to 19A (and theory and practice of democracy) I note that Switzerland didn't have full female federal suffrage until 1990.
!!!!!
I did not know this. To be fair it looks like except for one Canton it came in the 70s? (from Wikipedia):
Women in Switzerland gained the right to vote in federal elections after a referendum in February 1971.[1] The first federal vote in which women were able to participate was the 31 October 1971 election of the Federal Assembly.[2] However it was not until a 1990 decision by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland that women gained full voting rights in the final Swiss canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden.[3]
They really take that hyperlocal stuff seriously it seems? I knew naturalization was also a PITA but... sheesh!
I might have a biased views since everyone I met was a PhD student or staying in my hostel, but ll the Swiss folks I've met were extremely egalitarian. (The academics sometimes hated me because I had hacked* my way into Carnegie Mellon despite never going to school there, but at least we were on the same page that everyone can vote, everyone can be an engineer, etc etc.
>I recently learned (from HN?) that Microsoft was already incorporated while Spain was still fascist (by a few months...but still!) and I had an impression, when visiting this century, that discussing Dali was welcome, but discussing the fate of the Republic was a bit "too soon".
Art people are the worst, I just took a tour of a museum where they said all the right things about marrying whom you want but when someone brought up Ukraine, we were admonished to avoid "politics".
(I guess the personal is political only when you're timing your kids, not when folks are having their nuclear power plants shelled. ¡Ay, caramba!
Speaking as a former Moztern, Microsoft is a bad company and should feel bad -- the death of "trustworthy" computing is something no one seems to want to talk about in public for reasons I will never underastand, and their weird obsession with the wall between MSR and the rest of the company was... interesting.
(I still remember making a clippy joke in Redmond and having someone stiffly reply "Sir I worked on that. No sense of humor!)
As for Spain: I've been there, it was too short, and I may have pissed people off in Vigo when we walked by a bank being protested and I separated from a group of professors to try to express my support.
Imagine a herd of stuffy academics loudly talking in English as if no one in Galicia will understand them mocking anything left of neoliberalism, then having a first year grad student break off and excitedly telling a man dressed as a clown "8Hell yeah! Do 'em like Iceland! Put the bracelets on 'em!!8" and having the poor guy thinking he's being shouted at (partly because said academics began to yell at me for "encouraging him".
(The only reason I was even in a PhD was that even in America the job market was still reeling from the 2009 crash, and by 2012 towns like Vigo were still fairly devoid of tourists, though I got the impression this was partly because Porto was some kind of drug free fire zone -- some "anarchists" yanked out a Hunter S Thompson level suitcase on the balcony the night before my talk -- I ended up declining LSD and possibly getting roofied... I always suffered from early waking after a night out, but nearly slept through my lecture. Years later I got clued in the rohypnoly tastes salty and someone in attendance had a beef with me.)
Luckily a thumbs up is pretty universal?
Anyways, I'll quit wall of texting as I take a break from my MLK weekend adventure of breaking into my own iPhone backups and leave it at this:
the line between anarcho-capitalism and fasciscm is fairly thin if you're lacking capital IMHO.
Thanks for your reply! :-)
[*] I exploited a loophole to take a single course, then got myself hired as staff, and openly joked "Why pay all that tuition when one piece of paper and an A gets me the same network", which apparently rubbed some people the wrong way. Tough for them - hail to Pitt! :D
I’ve never heard a bad word about, say, the creator of Rocko’s Modern Life - there was a similar vibe to the art and humor, though R&S was darker looking back.
