> "This similarity has already led to some women turning away from Coq and others getting harassed when they said they were working on Coq,"
That never happened. No one is interested in something but "turn away" because the name sound similar to cock. I can't imagine the following conversation student: "I am interested in calculus" professor: "you will have to work with coq" "I am not interested anymore".
>getting harassed when they said they were working on Coq
People usually do jokes with one another, how about you laugh and make a joke back. Stop taking yourself so serious and have some fun. And again, that never happened, no one was "harassed" because the name of what they are working on.
> (Jasper Hugunin) A bit of a stretch, maybe not disqualifying, but as a native English speaker (and given the context of this page), Gallus reads a lot like "phallus" to me, which is again a name for male genitalia.
I have nothing

> Coquito Reason for discarding: can have a violent meaning in some parts of Latin America....
And apparently in Colombia, Puero Rico, and Venzuela colloquial for "blow to the head with bare knuckles" (if I understand the seventh meaning here correctly: https://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/coquito).
They search for the seventh meaning in a word and discarded the word. In there quest to find the most unfunny word related to cock they do produce some funny text.
So what is the other option? We stay in the abusive relationship just out of fear of confrontation? How about we take care of our interests and if cold war starts we make sure we win it.
In Romania, fake news try to say that NATO military bases run a prostitution rings with underage girls. There was a case[1] where a criminal raped and killed a girl in a city near a NATO military base and all the fake news articles were trying to say that the criminal was providing underage girls for the NATO soldiers.
Does US or other western country ever retaliate? It seams to me that Russia and China keep attacking as and we do nothing. Was vkontakte ever taken down? What would happen if an US hacker group "independent" of NSA would attack a Russian company?
Every time I read this kind of message i feel like it's propaganda that is trying to make the west weaker by convincing people to not work on military technology.
What you make can hurt people, yes, some people deserve to be hurt.
I am interested in learning RE also. After some search on the internet I found that most people recommend Practical Malware Analysis book. I started reading it, it's seems pretty interesting. I didn't get to the RE part yet but from looking at it seems to be pretty good for beginner.
It is better to hold them down while we, the west get stronger. They can escalate tensions all they want they still need warships, nukes, microchips, etc. to do something and as long as we stay better then them they won't do anything. In my opinion the best way to avoid a war is to have the bigger stick
Can someone explain to me or point to some studies or books that explain why brands, advertisers etc. think that having small problematic groups on a platform affects the brand? You are making an ad for group A and put the ad on subreddits visited by group A, is the "dirt" produce by group B that bad for you that you need to get rid of group B?
Aren't there any corporations that market to people who like guns, violent videos, etc? Is if you like guns you don't exist or consume anything? I bet that a lot of people that like guns drink a lot of coca cola and eat a lot of junk food.
It's a bad idea. I got guilt tripped by my friends a year for not voting in the parliament election (not from US).
“I don’t want this to come off like we’re shaming our friends into voting,” said Naseem Makiya, the chief executive of OutVote, a start-up in Boston. But, he said, “I think a lot of people might vote just because they’re frankly worried that their friends will find out if they didn’t.” It's incredible to me how some people can make a bad idea look nice by using words.
"Political science research has shown that people turn out to vote in higher numbers when they think their family and neighbors are observing their civic behavior. The VoteWithMe and OutVote apps simply automate that surveillance and social pressure." It is because of fear and the bad thing is that it's harder to fight against these ideas that use nice words like "research", "strengthen democracy" because you come off like being anti democracy, anti science etc. In communist Romania there were elections and if you didn't participate there where bad consequences and because of that there were 99.9% turnout but I would not consider that a victory for democracy.
Some people say that if you voted or not is public record. Yes it is public but there is a difference between 1 click and jumping through some bureaucracy to find that information.
Streetwalkers do this because they are poor and lack the skill to do something else. Some people simply don't have the skill to do things.
I don't know how to say this and not come as a jerk, but regarding the glass ceiling. By the time a women hit the glass ceiling sex work is not an option because they are old and the only sex work available would be streetwalking or low level escorting which dose not pay as much as under C-level manager or where the glass ceiling is.
I am not trying to troll. And I know women don't run around eliminating men but you can't dismiss the low % that do that and even give them a tool to do that easier.
And about escort/sugar daddy sorry, I thought that people here are more progressive. There are women who do this and as long as they chose to do this more power to them.
Yes, but even if it is consensual, you need to understand that you live in a world where if you are a powerful man and a female subordinate says your name and sex in the same sentence you're career is over.
I don't know why I expect more intelligence from VC's. They made millions/billions and they have a simple choice: try to have sex with a subordinate which most of the time will not be the best sex in the world and it will be possibly ruin my life vs escort/model. They made millions of $ and can't make a simple decision.
1. What about fake accusations? Will the perpetrator name still be in the database as a perpetrator if the accusations are false? I would be curios about false accusation statistics or even exaggerated or misinterpreted actions that are interpreted as sexual misconduct.
2. If you are a VC I assume that you have money, lots of money. Why not hire an escort? Why not be a sugar daddy to someone? Why have a or try to have a sexual relationship with someone you work with or someone you have a business relationship with, especially in this day and age?
I always wonder, when they catch this kind of criminals, why not shoot them on sight like they did Pablo Escobar or Osama? Special forces officer: "it was low light operation and we thought that he had a weapon so we shot him." and thats that.
I am not trying to insult her but I saw that "style" of making youtube videos and web sites in other people most of them are above 30 and not to bright. I saw similar videos from one old man that likes to talk about demons and how to save our souls from satan and he makes this videos with demons and people in some kind of old graphics.
They all think that what they do is nice and beautiful and nothing wrong with what they say or do. And I also remember hi5, they let you change color of your page and usually the people that were not that smart used a lot of ugly colors similar with these websites.
That never happened. No one is interested in something but "turn away" because the name sound similar to cock. I can't imagine the following conversation student: "I am interested in calculus" professor: "you will have to work with coq" "I am not interested anymore".
