GOP Lawmaker Slammed For Calling White House Press Secretary ‘DEI Hire’
  • I don't know what to say to that. I didn't say it matters, and I was trying to participate in the discussion thread.

    My opinion is that the spirit of DEI is good, but sometimes I have personally witnessed first hand a decline in performance standards. I've worked for years with/near the federal government and I've seen what appears to be a particularly blatant DEI push at the cost of performance.

    And an Asian colleague recounted to me that a school he was trying to send his child to had recently come under pressure to "loosen" their admittance test requirements because white and Asian folks were overrepresented. I'm sure you're aware of the similar controversies at universities over the last decades.

    When it comes to DEI, I'm not against any people or class of people, but it'd be intellectually dishonest to not recognize the inherent conflict here when you start considering people's race as an admittance factor. Maybe the intention is to only give the minority an edge when performance with a white peer is exactly the same, but that's not precisely what happens every time. It's not something that makes me angry, and it may even be the right thing to do, at least in some cases. I only recognize it.

    Cheers.

  • I think it needs to be on the client app (web browser) before it gets sent thru the VPN. Your router won't be able to read the http header to see what the URL is (to decide which VPN to use).

  • You can use foxyproxy (browser extension) with SOCKS5 proxies to ssh tunnels to various hosts based on the URL pattern. Maybe too kludgey for your use case.
