Oh yes, she is. She is telling women that if you want it all, you just have to demand it. She is pushing for another affirmative action program which will deliver 50% of everything to women. The world doesn't work that way for men. You can't just throw a hissy fit and then expect to be appointed to the board of Chevron.
Boy, I do not see it like that but I guess I'll agree to disagree with you. Also, sometimes "throwing a fit" works though usually when men do it you are "raising a red flag" or "bringing an issues to someone's attention."
The things that's truly amazing is just how inept the attempts at getting them blocked are.
In the UK, the big ISPs initially at least blocked only a single IP, so TPB have changed IPs a few times. Each time to a new IP in the /24 network block registered to them. Why the entire /24 didn't get blocked in the first case is beyond me.
Not that it'd have helped given the massive number of proxies, but it doesn't look like they were even trying.
It's not the ISPs behaviour I find strangest, though, but that the rights organizations have not asked for even marginally more effective measures, such as even asking to have all IPs owned by The Pirate Bay blocked.
I speculate that it may be an attempt to stem movement to the significant number of private trackers that dependably provide higher quality torrents earlier than public sites. Allowing TPB to stay up means that people must sort through muck and viruses to locate the content they want. For many, that is enough and they don't bother looking a little deeper.
I've been a user since 1/10, I'm an admin, and I 'live' in a non-technical topic space on Quora. You can see why my user experience has been amazing, yeah?
I think she's very insightful, and as a community we have a lot to learn from her experience, at least testing the edge cases and failure modes she's tripped through.
...so actually, I did not 'provoke' that post, but was rather 'provoked' by it (just a little). It was the first thing showing in my stream upon signing up.
I agree though. Something about the way responders write just rubs me the wrong way. Like everyone is trying their hardest to sound intelligent. It's just not fun and doesn't seem authentic to me the way HN or reddit do.
