چکیده
How capitalist organizations ensure the obedience of its members has long been a matter of discussion. Behind the idealism of “market freedom” lie more troubling realities of daily subordination and ideologies of conformity. Increasingly scholars have studied the effect of subjugating subjectivities present in capitalist production. Two specific features of modern capitalism have been the utilization of totalitarian discourses, in this case defined within the boundaries of capitalist institutions, and the prevalence of cynicism for this purpose. The former highlights the attempts by these institutions to control every aspect of the workers’ experience and understandings for the benefit of the company. Ideologically this involves the internalization of capitalist values resulting in practices of “self-regulation” (Knights and Wilmont 1989). By contrast recent research has focused on how employee cynicism, away from organizational values, paradoxically strengthens an individual’s commitment to these economic institutions (Fleming and Spicer 2003). A subjectivity of “I disagree but I still obey” is central to this seemingly contradictory phenomenon.

متن کاملBloom Filters in Probabilistic Verification
Probabilistic techniques for verification of finite-state transition systems offer huge memory savings over deterministic techniques. The two leading probabilistic schemes are hash compaction and the bitstate method, which stores states in a Bloom filter. Bloom filters have been criticized for being slow, inaccurate, and memory-inefficient, but in this paper, we show how to obtain Bloom filters...
متن کاملOptical modeling and measurements of a coccolithophore bloom.
Blooms of the phytoplankton coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi can cause significant changes to both the inherent and the apparent optical properties within an oceanic column. Measurements made within such a bloom off the southwestern coast of England during July 1999 are reported. The multiple scattering properties of the bloom prevented accurate retrieval of absorption (a) and attenuation (c)...

Distributed programming has become a topic of widespread interest, and many programmers now wrestle with tradeoffs between data consistency, availability and latency. Distributed transactions are often rejected as an undesirable tradeoff today, but in the absence of transactions there are few concrete principles or tools to help programmers design and verify the correctness of their application...

Privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) is the process of identifying records that represent the same entity across databases held by different organizations without revealing any sensitive information about these entities. A popular technique used in PPRL is Bloom filter encoding, which has shown to be an efficient and effective way to encode sensitive information into bit vectors while still...
