Since you can't even spell Rotherham, I'll not give much weight to your analysis of the reasons behind the police failure there.
Since you evaluate arguments based on the spelling of proper nouns from foreign places I'm afraid I can't bring myself to care about the esteem with which you regard my analysis.

And sometimes the doxing is of the wrong people, or people that are undeserving of being doxed.
I didn't know this. What are some examples? Did Krebs do anything to make amends for the innocent people he doxed?

I was responding to this: > The private sphere -- family, close friends, personal intimacy, etc -- is where people are at their best. We can be honest there. We can show weakness, we can apologize, we can compromise and we can forgive. It family where publicly charizmatic people stop trying to be charizmatic and start being abusive. Also, it is not rare, both private part and abuse part went up during lockdowns. Aris…
> Aristotle and Marx have zero to do with it and the way people on HN bring super old classics in completely unrelated context is getting obnoxious. The Greeks are the source for a lot of our language and a lot of how we think about the world. Marx turned much of that upside down. It's fine if you don't agree with the idea of "intellectual heritage" (or the influence of that heritage). But I (and others) do, so clear…
The greeks also used goverments as intruments of violence. Quite a lot actually, freedom was reserved for small minority of people. The goverment was used as instrument of violence long before Marx. Fuedalism, whether German or Russian was kept by violence.
Maybe the greeks are your source of how you think about world, but dont project it on rest of us when we are talking about abuse of people Greeks generally looked down at.

> automate the process of bringing women he liked everywhere he went So what is that exactly? Somehow these women would show up to meetups or something? Or were the sockpuppet accounts 'women'?
Surprisingly, they were real women that fell for sock puppet accounts.

It's not just any foreign place is it? It's the foreign place you've been spouting off about so authoritatively

#246Pay close attention to social media companies and privately run social networks and forums. I used to work for a major social media network that was growing and eventually stalled. If you run a social network and it gets popular you're going to run into major problems that no one talks about. 1.) Multiple governments, private organization and luddites send people to your company to compromise the source code. 2.) Peo…

That is very interesting. Did you ever catch any spooks trying to manipulate your source code?

The geeks were not exactly experts in domestic violence and abuse. Not that it did not happened in their world, they did not really cared and victims had little options.

I never said that "only since Marx" was the government an instrument of violence owned by the ruling class. I said that idea is a Marxian idea. And it is. Also, I never meant to imply that it's a wrong idea (I think it's wrong, but you don't have to).
The fact that you're mouthing ideas from Marx without even realizing it while denying the concept of intellectual heritage is stunning.

It really is defunct. The corporation "US West" is no longer registered. Acquirors don't keep their acquisitions' corpses registered forever.
All of US West’s assets were acquired as part of the merger transaction. In this case, there’s no evidence of a similar acquisition.
Because they're not a publicly-traded company like US West.
This is unsurprising.

This isn't a question of idealizing people who lived thousands of years ago, it's just an observation about how ideas pass through the centuries. Also, philosophers who wrote thousands of years ago are relevant today. It's not like we've answered questions like "what is knowledge?" "what is good?" and so on. I never said that "only since Marx" was the government an instrument of violence owned by the ruling class. I…
Also, I think that you don't really know what Marx actually wrote. Nor do you know much about historical context surrounding Marx. Or Lenin and Stalin for that matter. Makes me think you likely dont have such a deep knowledge of Greeks either.
Aristotele is completely irrelevant to topic of domestic violence. So is topic of "what is knowledge".
"Mouthing ideas from Marx" is completely absurd mischaracterization of what I wrote. It is more of your manipulative attempt then an argument.
