Seems like the only way to work on privacy projects in the future is to become voluntarily castrated...



Or staying anonymous


"Don't rape anybody" is probably an easier way.


Given false claims epidemics you have in the US these days my solution seems the only feasible one that can stand up in court. Guess why Linus is never allowing a lone female to be alone with him even for a few seconds?


Don't let reading Raymond warp your mind. Also, this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11850930.

I don't think its an 'epidemic' as the poster exaggerated, but it does happen.

I don't know about the US, but in Canada the Jian Ghomeshi trial is one recent example that comes to mind. Both the Ghomeshi trial and the Canadian trial of Gregory Alan Elliott show that there are indeed types of people out there who lie to bring charges, or increase the weight of charges bought against someone. And it shows they will lie all the way up to and through a court case, until cross examination (or in Elliott's case an insider tip off of conspiracy) unravel the lies.

I don't know what to think in this case but it is not something you can rule out completely.


I'm not sure bringing up Gomeshi's case as an example of false accusation is such a very good idea, though.

Just because Eric Raymond says a thing doesn't make it true.
