If they just mean "processes should be restartable" then that sounds way more reasonable. Similar idea to this but less fancy: https://flawless.dev/
It's a pretty terrible slogan if it makes your language sound worse than it actually is.
Imagine that you’re trying to access an API, which for some reason fails.
“Let it crash” isn’t an argument against handling the timeout, but rather that you should only retry a few, bounded times rather than (eg) exponentially back off indefinitely.
When you design from that perspective, you just fail your request processing (returning the request to the queue) and make that your manager’s problem. Your managing process can then restart you, reassign the work to healthy workers, etc. If your manager can’t get things working and the queue overflows, it throws it into dead letters and crashes. That might restart the server, it might page oncall, etc.
The core idea is that within your business logic is the wrong place to handle system health — and that many problems can be solved by routing around problems (ie, give task to a healthy worker) or restarting a process. A process should crash when it isn’t scoped to handle the problem it’s facing (eg, server OOM, critical dependency offline, bad permissions). Crashing escalates the problem until somebody can resolve it.
So just to spell the quiet part out loud, what you're saying is that admissions based purely on merit would mean the student body would become entirely Asian, and this would be a "freak show" that's bad for the university's image?
Quotas to DIE have all been ruled to, in practice, amount to illegal discrimination on the basis of race, but some people truly believe Harvard and UNC were right to discriminate against Asians.
I think people on HN overestimate the security literacy of the average computer user in a personal/corporate setting. If a sophisticated attacker wanted to target an organiztion with passwords/push auth, it'd be trivial to get some subset of members to copy-paste passwords from managers and accept prompts. I think far more likely than lock-in is that FIDO members genuinely want to make their customers more secure, something that passkeys very much do accomplish for the average user.
That being said, I'm not rushing to enable passkeys on every site. If you already use a good password that enforces origin binding (the key strength of WebAuthn) and you extend that security perimeter through good OpSec (i.e., being careful when copy-pasting passwords), you're not getting much benefit.
Translation: ULCA declined to violate the First Ammendment and allowed their students and faculty to criticize Israel.

As an actual Marxist, I would love to hear of this strain of philosophy.

That answers your sibling reply as well, as it’s clear where such “critical theories” and grievance narratives have entered movies and games.
That’s a trope by Marxists to attempt to normalize alt-left ideology by accusing anyone who objects of being Nazis; a trope that’s become tired in the US and minimizes the true radical nature of the Nazi regime.
Eg, people often say any amount of radiation is bad, but there’s evidence that isn’t true. If you’re going to make a similar claim about alcohol, you should justify it.
“Persistent consumption above some threshold” is a radically different claim than “any amount”; and you should quantify that in both respects.
