National Science Foundation (NSF) had offered $1.5 million to address structural vulnerabilities in Python and the Python Package Index (PyPI), but the Foundation quickly became dispirited with the terms of the grant it would have to follow.
“These terms included affirming the statement that we ‘do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion], or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws,’” Crary noted. “This restriction would apply not only to the security work directly funded by the grant, but to any and all activity of the PSF as a whole.”
NSF: “We’ll give you money as long as you don’t hire minorities”.
Python: “Get fucked.”
Chad shit
Bad people might steal these advanced technologies to exploit slave communities around the world, causing global suffering. What if the entire world is enslaved?
lmao wut. lmfao even. roflcopter if you will. I know this is a troll account (joined today and has one (1) comment) but this is a hell of a comment. This is up there with that girl saying “Gay marriage is wrong because girls will want to marry other girls, which is what everyone wants to do, right?”
Jesus christ.
Pro tip, do not put this much energy into retaliating to braindead organisms like that one.
it’s my meat pumpkin
Get fucked.
Tell me, what bad shit have you smoked before posting this?
Braindead take
If “bad people might use them” would be an argument, we would just do nothing ever again.
Bad people breathe oxygen, maybe you should stop doing the same.
Besides the anti-woke bullshit, it’s just a bad idea to accept. It is absolutely not normal for a grant to have stipulations that if you violate some vaguely defined criteria somewhere in your organization, it can be clawed back at a later time. That’s a huge liability for an organization to take on that they may suddenly owe a million dollars some time in the future.
I mean basically yeah, “DEI” and “Woke” are right wing buzzwords that basically can mean whatever, and the Trump admin et al know this. They could say “letting x people use this is woke” or “hiring y people is DEI”. The Anti-DEI movement is just an excuse for actual discrimination because now we have people being fired not because they are unfit for their job, but because they’re from a minority who was deemed more qualified than someone who was White, Male and Cishet.
I mean Hegseth fired the Chief of Naval Operations because she was a woman. Straight up.
The text actually required them to not violate anti-discrimination laws.
Which under the current administration means not annoying the great all-powerful orange one. It certainly has no relation to the actual law.
What’s the size of the rock you’ve been living under in the past 10 months or so?
It’s not a rock, it’s a giant glass of flavoured water
