Probably because the fact of external genetic influences has little to do with the wholly political concept of "race"


We're getting into Hume/Kant territory


>I could put a Mac Mini on my desk with half a dozen adapters sticking out of it, but even then I still can't upgrade the RAM. The last Mac Mini with user-upgradeable RAM was 2012.

The 2018 Mac Mini is user-upgradeable up to 64GB. Storage is soldered on however.

Funny to read this, VISA near silently installed a program whereby replacing your Debit/Card (lost, stolen, etc) automatically updates that card everywhere it is being used a payment method. You can't even cancel a card and see what dies. You have to opt out of this program.


To be honest, I don't mind this at all.


"But do you have a flag?"


I'm not surprised


For regular folk, the book is Discipline & Punish in English translation

You're explanation is fairly academic and I think we can be a little more concrete. Focault's point is really that discussions of power in the West tend to revolve around law and right, jurisprudence, when in fact the exercise of power qua something that alters your behavior is in almost every relationship we enter into with other human beings, no matter how anonymous: when we go to school (which is modeled on factories), when we go to work at the factory (where they wanna know how long you take having a piss) or (as many of us here are familiar with) the office, when we pack onto the train for the commute (which to me is a place where our behavior definitely meets up with the practical definition of panopticism, e.g. we act as if everyone is watching everyone else), when we "come out the closet" (despite being a 'practicing homosexual', for lack of a better term, Foucault was not comfortable being labeled gay, and its speculated that the conditions around his death by HIV were exacerbated by this; as well, I find sexuality to be strongly policed on all sides in America).

None of this is new in history, but modernity ramped up the scale and intensity to previously unseen levels (much like everything else)


"when we go to school (which is modeled on factories)"

I thought they were modeled on prisons.


Both, but the similarities in the three can be striking regardless of ordering.


I mean, the idea of progress in general is barely agreeable outside of recent strides in the physical sciences


Am getting too many redirects opening that link


Huh, that shouldn't happen! What browser & OS are you using?


I'm getting the same on Chrome/Mac. Requesting /mock/ just 301's me back to /mock/

Hmm, no idea. I'm using Chrome on a Mac, and it works fine, and my analytics suggest at least 400 other Chrome+Mac users have been getting through, so it's not a general problem...

Any chance you can export a HAR from your browser dev tools and send it to help@httptoolkit.tech? There's something very odd happening there, could be a Netlify bug.


It's working now - nothing changed as far as I know on my end, but if it happens again I'll do that.


How bizarre, might be a Netlify hiccup somewhere? No idea, but I'm glad it's working now!
