This proposal from @leaverou looks really interesting 👀

Now that we have `:has()` it should be possible to create `inverted` combinators.

A new parent combinator `B < A` could be syntactic sugar for `A:has(> B)`. Similarly we could add previous sibling and ancestor combinators.

The symmetry could make it easier for students to learn, and it could improve readability.

Child selector: `A > B`
Parent selector: `B < A`

What do you think?

Go check it out:

[selectors] Backwards combinators

Combinators that could go "backwards" have been proposed before, but until :has() they were rejected on the basis of feasibility. However, now that we have :has(), they are merely syntactic sugar: ...

Una idea para construir un mundo un poco mejor. Cuando encontréis un contenido que os indigne profundamente evitad compartirlo. Si necesitáis responder podéis hacerlo sin difundir el contenido.

Por ejemplo con lo de que nos sobran bosques. Es algo que intentan instalar en el imaginario colectivo, no sé muy bien quién, no sé muy bien con qué interés.

Es evidente que no tenemos tantos bosques y que no sobran. Pero si desde la indignación compartimos el argumentario del que dice que sobran lo instalamos en el imaginario colectivo. El personal tiene argumentos para argumentar en ese sentido y acabamos pensando que sobran bosques.

La alternativa es explicar qué es un bosque, por qué necesitamos más y mejores bosques. A ser posible obviando el argumentario contrario que, quien más quien menos ya conoce y ha tropezado con él.

Quizá no es el mejor ejemplo, pero es lo que intenté hacer en su día con esta entrada en mi blog: productordesostenibilidad.es/2…

This horrendous thought @tsyum is talking about here is in fact for many MAGA voters the explicit goal of all this immigration cruelty, except for the job market instead of used cars:

“fewer immigrants → smaller labor supply → $$$ for me yay”

But that’s not the endpoint. Oh no.

In a move alarmingly close to outright chattel slavery, there is talk of ICE capturing immigrants and then •selling them back to their former employers•, presumably under much-worsened employment conditions.

Comparing the detention camps to similar programs in other countries, Snyder warns that incarcerated workers will likely be offered to employers on special terms, a concept Trump appears to have embraced with his suggestion that the administration will figure out how to put workers back in the fields and businesses by putting them under the authority of those hiring them. Trump has called the idea “owner responsibility.”

People are still not paying nearly enough attention to what @pluralistic wrote here:

pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fra…

“The American right is a brittle coalition.”

The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here — employers and workers — who think they’re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think they’re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.

6/

It's a huge mistake to think of the right as a stable, unified force, marching to victory after inevitable victory. The American right is a brittle coalition led by a handful of plutocrats who have convinced a large number of turkeys to vote for Christmas. The right wing coalition needs to pander to forced-birth extremists, racist extremist, Christian Dominionist extremists …frothing anti-Communist cranks, vicious homophobes and transphobes, etc, etc. Pandering to all these groups isn't easy: for one thing, they often want opposite things – the post-Roe forced birth policies that followed the Dobbs decision are wildly unpopular among conservatives, with the exception of a clutch of totally unhinged maniacs that the party relies on as part of a much larger coalition. Even more unpopular are policies banning birth control, like the ones laid out in Project 2025. Less popular still: the proposed ban on no-fault divorce. Each of these policies have different constituencies to whom they are very popular, but when you put them together, you get Dan Savage's "Husbands you can't leave, pregnancies you can't prevent or terminate, politicians you can't vote out of office.” The constituency for "husbands you can't leave, pregnancies you can't prevent or terminate, politicians you can't vote out of office" is very small. Almost no one in the GOP coalition is voting for all of this, they're voting for one or two of these things and holding their noses when it comes to the rest.

You think ICE is going to “bring the jobs back?” Bullshit. They’re gearing up to sell imprisoned immigrants back to employers as slave prisoners who work for free. You think your wages are going up? You’re a sucker. Your wages are going down.

You think ICE is going to sell you imprisoned immigrants as cheap labor? Bullshit. They’re too beholden to the radical white supremacist extremists. Those people will •never• let those immigrants stay in the country. ICE is going to steal your labor force and you won’t get them back.

I fear some of them may have a plan for managing that contradiction; that white labor pool only needs fooled for a few months. They’re buying a bit of consent now to bridge them into the next crunch.

Concentration camps stateside to lease convict labor, concentration camps abroad to traffic people permanently - why both? The white nationalist project. Impoverish & criminalize en masse, exile non-whites to a new worst outcome, remake a frightened, paler, part-convict labor pool.

@cwicseolfor
I mean…maybe? It takes an extraordinary amount of squinting to imagine all of that working out.

There’s an almost compulsive urge on the part of the Thoughtful Left in these situations to figure how to resolve the contradiction, how to square the circle, how to say that these people really are all the same — and that’s just doing the right’s work for them! We’ve got to stop that!

Focus on what you said on your subsequent post: the cracks are there, the window of opportunity is short, they’re feeding the base a fantasy, and we need to FUD that fantasy to death.

This is still a strategic opportunity to break the coalition because it’s showing that they absolutely will cannibalize each other the moment they see a chance. The cracks are there. But the window of opportunity feels very short; they’re still feeding a racist base the comforting fantasy that they’d only treat Other People that way, and that base has hardly ever caught on before, because even as their material conditions worsened, things were usually worse for minorities *faster.*

It will be no surprise (in fact it was predicted by many) but as Chinese exports to the US dropped (due to Trump's new tariffs) so exports to other countries (primarily Asian & the EU) rose, partly to find 'new' markets for these good & partly to use third countries to disguise the origin(s) of imports to the US.

Of course, shippers will do well out of this but the impact of (further) competition from cheap(er) Chinese good will be unwelcome in these countries!

When teaching people about digital security for everyday people & organizers, is there are tool that anyone can recommend **for threat modeling, specifically?**

Folks can often fall into security nihilism or an extreme belief that anything technically possible, even if resource intensive, is likely to come to pass with them as a target, so I'd like to start by getting people grounded in likely threats they should be thinking about.

threat modeling tools seem focused on building ever more complicated taxonomies and that's a waste of time and attention. A simple risk register on paper or in a spreadsheet is much better than a fancy tool. Build up a list, using a formula like this, just fill in the ones you know and figure out the others later:

ACTOR-TYPE is HOW-LIKELY to do ACTION to SUBJECT because MOTIVATION, and this would cause IMPACT to me, so I'd better do MITIGATIONS to bring about OUTCOMES.

Any time you have an "oh shit!" realization, add it to the risk register filling in what you know so far. Every so often, meet with others and compare your assessment to theirs. Rank risks by HOW-LIKELY * IMPACT and then see what MITIGATIONS you can think of, you're looking for OUTCOMES that either reduce MOTIVATION or IMPACT, or at least give you some detection of ACTION.

I use ACTOR-TYPE because you can somewhat predict the MOTIVATION of e.g. corporations or abusers or ransomware groups, and many risks are reusable between models when done this way, but feel free to name specific actors if it makes sense for a given risk.

I include SUBJECT because you can still be hit by the IMPACT when you're not the direct target of an ACTION, and it gets you thinking about what vulnerable components you may have and how all the parts talk to each other and the outside world.

You can start with the risk register, or with a system decomposition, whichever makes it easier, but the goal is getting used to enumerating and dissecting risks, writing them down and sharing them with peers.
