Some have, some haven't, as far as my reading goes. There's definitely a broader spectrum of opinions and that alone seems like a good development to me.

That was also true of second- (and even first-)wave feminism, too.

Third- (and even fourth-)wave feminism may have some different and new ideas and means of presenting them, but much of the core diversity of approaches on feminism has really been around since the so-called “first-wave” in the split between what might (oversimplifying a multiaxis variation into a dichotomy based on some correlations among the axes) be seen as conservative/Christian/bourgeois/virtue-oriented feminism on one side and revolutionary/materialist/proletarian/egalitarian feminism on the other.
Problem is that one can't measure social skills against anything other than ones own standards, and those evolve as generations go. In the eyes of a 1900 upper middle class person, we'd probably all be degenerates.
I'm born '86, regular access to technology since the early nineties. I'm a social kind of person, have many friends. Sometimes I just want to lock myself in for an entire weekend and play video games for 16 hours a day. Other times, I'll be having barbecues or going dancing.
And as many here have already stated, the extremes go smoothed over by time.
I just heard about that and I'm still kind of puzzled. App Store money, yeah, but isn't Tumblr like 10% SJW kids / fandoms and 90% porn? Seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot.
Indeed. The whole site exudes a nonchalance and cultural pluralism that just makes me think I'd have had heaps of fun attending, despite being from the other end of the globe and another background entirely.
As a German, I cannot begin to explain how much I despised the guy's work and public persona. A life's work dripping with perpetual delusions of moral high ground contrasted by the very late revelation of having been one of those he so colorfully looked down upon. Apologetic rambling on behalf of the general populace who didn't know anything about what was going on and couldn't have done anything, either.
Grass was a supreme example of everything wrong with this nation and that's not even mentioning his repulsive, monotonous style of writing.
If you're planning to read a modern German novel, avoid this guy at all cost. Read Handke or Jelinek, Glavinic or Kracht, Gernhard or Böll. Or any of a million others. Don't let anyone sell you the Tin Drum, please.
Jelinek may write an Austrian novel, but not a German. Handke is Austrian, Glavinic is Austrian, Kracht is Swiss. I would also not list somebody like Jelinek under German literature, but under German language literature. Jelinek writes mostly about Austria and not Germany.
If you want to read modern German literature there are a lot of other authors: Goetz, Tellkamp, Kehlmann, Müller, ...
Actually 'Die Blechtrommel' is great German literature. Highly recommended.
> Grass was a supreme example of everything wrong with this nation
Definitely not. Grass had his problems, but he a lot of good sides, too. It's not black or white.

I work for a small high end cosmetics business in the European Union. That particular industry has a lot of compliance and documentation rules imposed on it by Brussels. My predecessor in the line sadly pushed using Apple's Filemaker for that. It's not even that bad in the latest version and certainly offers some advantages over similar solutions but the guy was horribly in over his head. I'm talking fifty fields in a table having near identical names, undocumented... everything, no clear UI design paradigms, needlessly complicated UX and storing PDF as binary data in tables by the thousands.
But I feel like I'm stuck with repairing his shit because there's not a nice and clean solution anywhere in sight. I thought of Wiki systems but the actual data entry will be done by people who would be completely put off by any kind of syntax/markup whatsoever. I'm neither good enough a Web developer to roll something similar myself nor can I dream of creating something like an entire documentation system.
I think the problem might apply to other smaller businesses in the EU and especially Germany, too. Lots of docu to have ready in the unlikely but not impossible case of an inspection.
For the cosmetics industry it'd need to be able to track ingredients, lots of external evaluation docu, internal procedures and so on. While at the same time it would need to be usable by people who are far removed from tech literate.
It sounds as though a customizable CMSm or DMS would be just the thing to take care of the fiddly bits that trip up developers of de-novo solutions (ie. accessibility, internationalization, usability, binary format document storage and indexing, access control, etc.). My personal favorite in this space is Plone[1] which has an excellent security record and happens to have many EU developers, but most of the popular contenders will do as a starting point.
Enterprise intranet/extranet apps often start out small and then spread like kudzu, eventually prompting a major project to replace them wholesale with a huge consulting-ware solution (like Sharepoint) that never fulfils the promises made (The exception being the specific niche you're asking about, compliance, which does have proprietary solutions that work, but are incredibly expensive).
To avoid that fate, try to pick something that you know can start small but you have evidence that it can also easily (ie. without a huge consulting engagement) scale to an organization-wide solution with 3rd-party as well as in-house extensions.
You could take a look at Jira. I understand most people reading this are probably cringing right now, but the cause of that and what makes Jira appropriate is just how customisable it is. You can setup custom fields, validations, workflows.
While this is probably not a too bad idea, I just can't stop myself lamenting over the customisability of Jira.
Before going bananas with Jira, either be very strict or use separate instances.
I currently work at in a relatively large organisation where all teams of various crafts and trades - not only development - share one Jira instance, since Jira is obviously what 'Agile' teams use.
Let's say that not all teams are equally equipped for analysis and generalisation.
Although there is supposedly some control process, there are now several hundreds of custom fields, many duplicates of the standard fields, and duplicates and triples or more of many custom fields.
The contents of them all are like the dwtf meme: True, False, FileNotFound.
This looks like a problem we recently solved for driving schools in Luxembourg that needed to track a lot of data about students for legal and internal reasons.
I'd be very interested in discussing the needs for a compliance and documentation tracker system and see if there is a market for it.
Have you looked into Jama software? It is customizable and very user-friendly. I use it for requirement management but imagine it would be good for document management as well.
I am running an Archer C7 v2 on OpenWRT. Works flawlessly. Some notes though:
- 5ghz only worked after manually inserting the latest firmware blob for the qca9880 chip and setup only works via shell for it, setting any options for it from the web interface breaks stuff
- it's fast enough... I'm running a freeradius2 server on it, SMB shares on two 32gb USB pendrives, miniDLNA, DHCP for ~50 physical and virtual clients, a VPN tunnel to a VPS and so on. Never hits full load.
- 2.4ghz range is massive, 5ghz less so obviously...
- it is absolutely stable however, uptime exceeds two months and the only reason for shutting it down back then was a move, almost nine months before that
If you're simply looking for APs I would recommend Unifi UAP-AC-Pros though.
