i can't tell if Stallman is trying to become an amalgam of Roald Dahl antagonists to maintain his lore, or if it's just his baseline demeanor.
Also his point that you can't get anything worthwhile accomplished while being a competent parent misses quite a few amazing parents and contributors to humanity.
As a new father, what he said about fathers doing what it takes to support their kids hit home. That said, I have made a decision (it wasn't a grand plan but sort of happened over the past few months) to put my family over my career. This meant forgoing a promo to management when I was next in line, and some other things. I'm not going to say it doesn't hurt .. but when I see my kids smile, I know it was the right decision for me.
It shouldn't disappear entirely though. A completely new site shows up faster than this was unavailable.
There are a fair number of tools that do just this, either with NIST's NSRL or with commercial hash sets, the notable one being Bit-9. Bit-9 has an order of magnitude or two in size over NSRL (which itself has several orders of magnitude over this database).

I am not sure I follow you on signatures. Doug White at NIST (https://twitter.com/dwhitenist) could change some hashes trivially and then sign them, and you'd never know the difference unless you thought you had the same file with a different hash. Even then you'd probably chalk that up to having a new version of the file that wasn't in the NIST. Are you thinking of some other scheme?

At the end of the day, I think it comes down to trusting Doug, which a lot of people do.

We need more people like that not less unfortunately they often get creamed by the people who are unwilling to take a stand but pretty good at PR.

Autumn 2016 Lisp Game Jam
Anecdata: At a conference a couple of years ago I was talking on-stage about my product. It's a direct competitor to Google in an area that they don't do very well (quite often, comically badly), and my customers are people who care about getting really good results in this area. I made a couple of joking quips about the poor quality of the Google product during this presentation and moved on.

Two days later my product completely vanished from the Google rankings. No cause that I could think of; I wasn't doing any questionable SEO or other manipulation at the time. I later found out there were Google people at the conference, though I don't know whether they were at the talk or not.

Correlation != causation so I'm hesitant to definitively call shenanigans on this. But it does make me believe ProtonMail's story a little more.
My Emacs Writing Setup
Bought it even though it apparently has no agent forwarding (also, see my other comment here about 1Password and mouse - yes, mouse! - support).

Pretty good, refresh seems faster than Prompt, especially when using htop and tmux on the LAN (something that always bugged me about Prompt).

Hope it gets Citrix X1 mouse support, and there's something else I'd love to see that doesn't require buying exotic hardware to test - external display support.

Yes, you can render independent displays on an iOS device. Being able to have two terminals open or a terminal and a browser on independent displays would be (even more of) a killer app.
C# better than java, maybe but than Kotlin ? That's a very subjective opinion.

Apps written in Xamarin and kotlin work very differently :

-with Xamarin you have to add the Xamarin runtine and depend on its integration. This brings several downsides : http://www.slideshare.net/KonstantinLoginov/we-are-ditching-...

-Kotlin outputs bytecode, so from the outside, it is just the same as any android app written in java. The output is a standard android app with one more library (the standard kotlin lib with all its base methods)

Factiness
If self direction is rare in youngsters that is because it is not fostered by their experiences. That's to say, the system needs to cultivate it.

I don't know about America, but in the UK teaching as a career path depends on who is in charge politically. The conservatives like to act as if anyone can teach, and value "life experience" over subject knowledge or the development of teaching as a craft in its own right. Labour tend to lean more towards the latter conception, albeit in a bounded and traditionalist way.

As the father of a new baby, I am not looking forward to picking schools in the years to come. The root cause of that is that the criteria for success are so poor: encyclopaedic knowledge of grammar is valued over ability to understand and effect change in the world. Facts mean more than projects, procedures are more valuable than their application. It is nuts.
A very smart programmer who's made a large contribution to society decides not to have kids while people of which neither can be said breed like rabbits. Looks like we'll be watering crops with Brawndo pretty soon.
The problem here is in the first two words.

The idea sounds interesting and maybe it will work. But why should it be tried at national level? Real progress would mean letting individual schools innovate.

Imagine if the headline read "Finland plans to replace PCs with modern tablets". That would be crazy, right? Computer purchasing decisions should not be enforced at national level. Why is education different?
RMS might not be very good at coining phrases, but words matter, brands especially. I wouldn't dismiss the idea entirely.
Thanks for pointing this out, because ESL readers as me, when shown an error repeatedly, start confounding the good version and the bad one. The worst part is that it is subtle: you understand what it's meant, noone mentions it, and something in your brain accepts it as a fact.

My fiancee is French and whenever she speaks (an almost perfect) Spanish, I always make the effort to repeat back errors she makes, in the correct form, without interrupting the dialog. On the medium term, that single act works wonders. I suggest that as a subtle alternative to pointing out errors, that can also be handy!

Whilst in principle I agree with him the piece reads as a desperate post-event justification for not having had children.

I think the real reasons he has no children can be found in the last email on this page: https://stallman.org/ex-boyfriends-list.html

As for having children - it is something I am greatly concerned about. Personally I really want children, though I do not want them unless I am convinced I am with the right person. My motivation is both selfish and a desire to put better individuals than myself into future society. Adoption and sponsorship spring to mind as incredibly likely occurrences even if I have children.
There is an element of tech company led social engineering going on here: everyone and their dog want to be able to sell their kit as educational if they can. So we get told about the wonders of the internet constantly and schools end up buying iPads instead of books. Your point about libraries stands admirably in light of this. Using different ways to find out information is a skill in itself.

That said, nobody is disputing the need to work, only the manner in which that work is carried out.
Many people do want these systems to have vetted drivers, consumer protection against bad behavior, insurance & maintenance/condition requirements for the driver and vehicle, and other such things. Of course, the taxi system does provide these protections, although with much more overhead than owner-operator systems like Uber.

So while I'm not aware of an open source system, even if one were implemented, people would still want some sort of vetting, driver registration, and regulatory power over ensuring decent safety, which does require some centralization.
I think in addition to the practical person x distance / time etc, we should look at transportation systems as part of life, culture and the city.

He literally won't. Nothing Obama has done or signed would have such a significant impact on the environment if it were repealed. Yes, EVEN the Paris climate agreement.

The US carbon emissions are 17.5 tons/person. China's is 6 tons and India is 1.5 tons. Both of those countries are going to continue growing. China's gross emissions won't peak until 2080...

If that doesn't scare the shit out of you consider that China is 1/5 of all Carbon emissions (US is 17%). A doubling or tripling of emissions would truly be devastating and that's what their on track to do EVEN with the Paris climate agreement.

So to the NYTimes and WaPo and all the bullshit merchants selling the apocalypse for political gain, fk off. You had time to criticize Obama and push for real change but you played politics instead.

If you are serious about helping the environment, as I am, then you need to start reducing your personal carbon emissions. Drive less, turn the heat down, do whatever you can to help the situation because international cooperation is ALWAYS and has always been bullshit.
I don't think it's fair to categorize it as a slap in the face. If people want to offer up their cars/home (or, in my experience of using AirBNB, their non-residence rental properties) to take part in a nascent/risky employer agreement, that's external to people that benefit from longer-stanging workplace regulations. It's not either/or and the success of Uber/AirBNB suggest that something was broken or missing in the taxi and hotel industries.
I find Uber gives me freedom. I recently went from working full-time plus consulting and training on the side, to consulting and training full-time (www.verticalsysadmin.com).

My client is across town (Los Angeles) and it can routinely take more than an hour (more than 2 on bad days) to get across town. Driving in traffic wears on my soul. With Uber and my trusty T-mobile hot-spot, I can get an extra 2+ hours of work in per day and arrive fresh! Uber's been a life-saver.
I think it boils down to the fact that you can't give 100% to multiple things. If you're passionate about your work and want to give 100% to that, your social life, your home life, your health, or any other portion of your life simply won't get 100%.

That said, this'll get a bunch of people jumping on him. People hear this in general and and it makes sense, but hearing it with respect to childcare tends to elicit a more combative reaction. Which is understandable, nobody likes to be made to feel like they're a bad parent.
Isn't this similar to the BF and sales throughout the season with Amazon. Items come up for sale only to be gone instantly (or what appears as such)
There is no plundering happening here. Nobody is streaming anything, everyone has made their decision.

Nintendo for some reason sold a too low quantity, and now the price is high, as denoted by Basic Economics. Its not like this was free money for the scalpers, they took a risk and estimates the demand for the product.

Now people who want it the most, can get it. Those who dont want it that mucj, dont get it. Its absolutely logical, and in no way immoral.
With uber I pay what I have to. With a real taxi I have to pay 3€ only for entering the taxi. Either the taxi company is changing its offer or I stick with uber.

> So, basically, you allow network programmer to not understand network programming, which is considered a major (main?) benefit, but at the expense of operators needing one more service to maintain?

That's true. My ultimate goal is to have a way to reconcile parts of a stack written in different languages to interop, without the burden of having to learn network programming (ie strict RPC). While it's true that Redis is yet another service, it is precisely that which I hope would appeal to some people if they use Redis anyway.

> How many programmers need to write a client

Well, when implementations in other languages come out (PHP and Node are in the works), programmers don't even have to 'write a client' at all. The point of the project is to be able to swap out existing functions with a Shisetsu-wrapped remote executables for easy integration.

> how many users would need to run an additional service? Redis clearly doesn't pay off here.

See my first answer. If they don't want to run an additional service, they can use existing RPC protocols instead (ZeroRPC, Thrift, ZeroC Ice) at the cost of additional development to integrate those.
>Animals have the same rights as humans. Indeed, we are animals

By that reasoning, oughtn't we grant the same rights to a sea sponge?

It's not clear to me that animals, as a general class, deserve any particular care or rights beyond what we might extend to living creatures in general. So far as we grants rights to animals, the clear criteria seems to be complexity (especially of the intellectual sort) and closeness to humanity.

They were pretty clear about the level of uncertainty leading up to the election. They said the data they were seeing and Donald Trump winning could both occur in a random universe slightly more than flipping a fair coin twice and both times getting tails (29%).

Probability exists to quantify uncertainty, not to predict the future (though this can help). One thing is clear - we don't live in a random universe, and there are concrete biases present in the way we collect election data. FiveThirtyEight carefully avoids and accounts for many of these sources of uncertainty. For example, herding of polls at the end of an election and the unusually high percentage of undecided voters at the end of the election.

modern chess programs are vastly superior to human players, regardless of one or 38 cores.
stockfish has a elo rating of ~3350 (probably a little higher when running on 38 cores, not sure). carlsen has 2850. that corresponds with a 95% winning probability per game (or to be more precise: stockfish is expected to win 95% of all possible points over several chess matches)

it's hard to say if that's close to "perfect analysis", because we don't know what a perfect game will look like (chess is not a solved game). but compared to human level, one could say it's close to perfect.

Can you comment on how comments could benefit from NLP related advances? E.g. detecting entities and using those as entry points into discussion, detecting similar topics discussed in different threads, detecting comments which are low effort and don't add much value. I hate the fact that first/top comment sets the tone for discussion overall and lot of people end up expending energy on that topic alone. People end up discussing something tangential just because the first commenter had "interesting" observation. Also I hate the pun threads which plagues reddit.

I find the arguments for not having children a disastrous one.

Reproduction is effectively our prime directive as a life form.
Furthermore it's utterly ironic that the people that could care for their offsprings the most seem to have the least interest in reproduction.

And arguably the best way to avoid and ecological disaster is to reproduce and teach the next generation better, with each child we also increase the chance of someone being born that will have a huge impact on society, technology and culture.
