I guess many people have just got off a train, or are about to get on a train, and so made other arrangements.
> Sure, if you are paying taxes is the government cannot track you, but if you have to pay for the toilets, the government can suddenly track you.

If I pay taxes, the government knows I live in the country.

If I pay for the toilets, someone can create a full and detailed movement profile of where I am when, and track me – and predict where I will be on what day at what time.

Paying separately, with each payment tracked by location, creates a rough, but still usable geolocation system. Which can be abused in the same way as giving everyone an ankle monitor, or as having location tracking active on your phone.

> Free stuff looses from quality quickly, and the poor, the homeless and the druggies usually do not honor public property and it is quickly degraded.

That mentality is quite troubling to see.
> Community toilets (and streets clear of shit & piss) are, in my opinion, a fundamental and should be the basis of all civilised society. The fact that so many modern cities seem to have forgotten this is beyond me.

Totally agree with that and Japan and many countries in Asia really get that.
> and the "fix it to get off the list" statement, too

Is addressed as "(This doesn't concern FTP servers that are public by design.)"

> seen unknowing managers go

These are not the people managing the FOSS mirrors that are public by design.

In fact, that's one of the reasons openftp4 now stores the complete banner. It makes it easy to identify FOSS mirrors by just grepping for "mirror" et al. and maybe even find new mirrors that you didn't know about. Or older software archives with some awesome abandonware.

Because when Google first launched it used free and open software, because they got plenty of free stuff. They bootstrapped from others hard earned work and they don't pay a cent of tax for operating in my country.

Don't bring communism into it, no one said they're not allowed to make some profit, but they must give back.
Did any orders actually happen, or is this a fake outrage story?
You appeared to be saying "government can't feed those in need, it shouldn't provide toilets for those in need either". Apologies for misreading you; I certainly wasn't the only one!

Wrt your edit: as I mentioned in my original comment, going to the toilet is usually a much more pressing need. How would you efficiently ensure 'the right people' are using the free toilet? I would contend that it's better all round to just have a free toilet, paid for out of taxes, that anyone can use.
>Stallman explicitly demands that public toilets should be free to everyone, independent of their financial situation. Using his logic, we should boycot food until food is available to everyone free of charge. Of course I'm not arguing against feeding the needy, or against social nets in general.

I actually don't see how you could unironically argue against providing essential foods (think bread, beans and chicken/fish[whichever is local]) free of charge, basic income style.

If that's affordable, we should totally do it. Of course, affordability is a key part of the equation. I don't know if a basic sustenance program is affordable. I do know that basic sanitation is /totally/ affordable.

Also, I feel compelled to point out that there's a public health interest in making sure everyone has a sanitary place to defecate. Societies that failed to provide this were regularly ravaged by cholera.
Maybe, maybe not. They got the license when they applied for it. They obviously didn't bother applying for the license until they were satisfied with their investigation of AMOS-6.

They were never denied a license.
I don't buy it. For that to be discriminatory, progressive taxes would be, too.
What does "broken" privacy even mean?
> "either give us specical/exclusive rights or we won't sell your book"

Amazon thinks of themselves as a publisher now, so when you put your book on Amazon without publishing via them they view you as 'the competition' using their hard won resources.

As a publisher, they view asking for exclusive rights to be a normal course of doing business.

The problem is that some people still think they're just a book store.
Somewhat off topic, but UK law means any toilet in a licensed establishment is available for free. The law requires licensed establishment to provide free tap water to anyone requesting it. A separate law requires somewhere that serves drinks to someone to give them access to toilets. So if you ask for free tap water, you can use the toilet.
really, do reasonable people do absolutely nothing to adapt the world to themselves? The reasonable person isn't able to think well that is messed up and I would like it to change, or hmm, I think this could be improved a bit. The history of small innovations in things (as opposed to the more impressive big and rare innovations) would indicate that yes, reasonable people do try to adapt the world to themselves to some extent. Because to never attempt to adapt the world to oneself would mean not just that one was unreasonable, but maybe also that one was not even human.

Objective Questions on Data Transmission Medium Part-1 – InfoTechSite
I just finished at Hack Reactor in SF and honestly had a better experience than I could have hoped for.

Disclaimer: I don't have a job yet as my cohort just finished a week before Christmas.

As for me, before HR I had been a designer for about ten years and had been doing some front end dev work at my last job.

I'd say the number one reason to do one of these programs is not the curriculum itself, even though HR's is great, it's the opportunity to work in groups of really smart people on software engineering projects. HR seems to be pretty selective and this definitely pays off for their students. You will learn a LOT from your peers. A large portion of the program involves the self directed building of applications in teams, and this team workflow is the one thing you just can't really learn on your own.

Long story short I think it's a great idea but try to find a boot camp that really cares about selecting people they think are a good fit for the industry, not just a stat. You will benefit.

"If local government can't use local taxes to provide shared toilet facilities to stop us all having to defecate in the streets then what are they (and taxes) for?"

Well, there are many different ways to tax things. This is a pretty big area of study in e.g. economics and public polciy.

Certainly, one way to tax is to e.g. collect income taxes from everyone and then use it to maintain public toilets. But another way to tax things is to directly tax the thing itself - like in this case, taxing the use of the toilet.

This has some drawbacks and some benefits. One of the benefits is that you're making the toilet more akin to a regular, private good - people pay for what they use, which works pretty well in most cases.

Of course you can appeal to emotion and say "what, we'll make poor people not able to use restrooms"? Clever as that is, what about the alternative appeal - are you really comfortable with a poor person's taxes going to support the public toilets of the 1%? The areas they live have public restrooms too, and I'm sure they cost a hell of a lot more to maintain than most public restrooms.

I have no idea how this actually works in the real world - do rich 1%'ers public toilets cost a lot? Are they supported by taxes (at least, not on the municipal level)? Is there any amount of poor people unable to find access to restrooms that this is even a problem?

I don't know. I'm just saying, the view expressed by Stallman is not nuanced, doesn't provide any data to back him up, only goes for a totally surface-level idea of the morality, and supports it with emotion.

NOT everything in the world is a totally clear black & white moral issue, and not everyone that disagrees with you is necessarily morally wrong! When you make every issue a moral & emotional one, you lose out on actual thoughtful intelligence, or on the idea that smart people can think of different ways of cooperating that might make sense to them.
Stallman is right. However, people, myself included, use Google services (search/email/groups/docs/maps/youtube/etc.) because it is easy, cheap, and good.
True, but I'd like to mention that these are still valid options for companies and teams. Not to mention that latency will inevitably be superior with a local server.

I'm not sure there's a way around it. Skype is pretty much centralized now. Alternatives using NAT-piercing solutions never worked as reliably for me, and the ID still needs a central directory anyway.

What we ended up doing for flexibility is letting our mumble server open (passwordless access), but speaking is disabled in the root channel, so it's useless for strangers. Secondary channels are password protected, guests cannot join, but teams can set up their hierarchy as they see fit.

When we invite a guest, we just point him to the mumble installer and our server. When he pops up, we drag him into the right channel. No password necessary. It's a fairly smooth experience. Definitely not as fast as a skype group call the first time, but just as good after that. In fairness, this beats pretty much any dedicated conference system I had to use elsewhere.

The channel permissions in mumble are pretty flexible, so there are multiple workflows possible.

I want that provided there's a laptop out there with comparable build quality. I don't much mind who produces it, but - as an example - a trackpad that is at least 75% as good as Apple's is an absolute must.

Don't they have to?

In the US, there's a law that says all places that serve food and aren't on a public street (e.g. a food truck), have to have a public toilet.

At least in my jurisdiction, gas station don't have public toilets because they want to---they have it because since they serve reheated hot dogs, they are required to have a toilet.
The government knows where you live, where you work, and who are your relatives, and the same data about them. They will not track you by the toilets.

So the only opportunity you give those who wish to track you is the use of public toilets, because you never pay for any other kind of goods or services, you are invisible to CCTV cameras, but for some reason you can only use public loos. (not one at your workplace, at home, or one at a restaurant you are given an untrackable meal. Also there are no other means to create a movement profile about you.

I have used public toilets less than 10 times last year, and paid for it each time. What a profile the evil toilet-trackers have about me now!

>> Free stuff looses from quality quickly, and the poor, the homeless and the druggies usually do not honor public property and it is quickly degraded.

>That mentality is quite troubling to see.

I agree that that mentality is troubling to see, yet they still stick to it. I know no ethical way to solve it.
Usually, such a process is done by starting with lists of those who are actually powerful. These lists are plentiful, especially in democracies. Starting with the presumption that the world's influencers are all on Twitter is a strange view of how the world works.
Unfortunately in Belgium you have to pay to use the toilets, even if there is a cover charge.

Richard Stallman is probably here because of the FOSS and hence the post.

I think that there is value in the points that he is making. Even if the lifestyle that he advocates is impractical, the mere fact that there is one advocate discussing about it, we are informed of its pros and cons, and are able to better evaluate the freeness of other softwares. That is, even if it is of merely theoretical interest, its presence gives us better situational awareness of the IP situation, and that leads us to making better decisions.

You have similar examples in other social movements; second-wave feminism, for example, borrowed not lightly from radical feminists who wondered to what extent the female condition was determined by biology (and especially as their means of reproductive production), and to what extent cultural; though impractical then and impractical now to take some of the extreme measures some were advocating, they open a possibility and frame discussions.

This is an attempt to implement supervisor trees in go as a library: https://github.com/polydawn/go-sup (Hej; author.)

It takes the Wait-for-children behavior path by default, and that seems much safer to me. The downside is, as we're describing: if you do get stuck in IO somewhere, you're a pretty unhappy camper. This library makes the choice of (by default; it's a handler func you can override) logging warnings to stderr if a task doesn't exit within 2 seconds of being told to quit... but this still feels like something of a hack; more of a debug measure than a concrete way to improve system stability. Better ideas would be highly welcome!

Ask HN: Would you use a script runner and scheduler service?
Would you pay a monthly fee for a service where you could upload and run with a single click your bash, python, php, perl, node etc. scripts?

I think it would be useful for automating repetitive tasks, like deploy scripts, quick file processing etc. You could upload txt, xml, csv etc files that will be processed, schedule scripts as cron jobs, and run them with a single click even from mobile.
Because it is a moral question: Should you be able to control all data about you, and how it moves? Should ownership mean the ability to entirely modify something?

If you agree that these two are automatically derived from basic moral principles – control over yourself, and the right to ownership – then you also have to agree that closed source products, and SaaS, are morally problematic.

The goals of RMS is much more ambitious then to make you stop using Google. RMS tries to move you to create world where freedom is normal and accessible for all. Or at least he tries to make you to dream about such a world. If there would be enough people who wants freedom, maybe there would be more freedom?

The one great thing, which RMS tries to make clear to everyone, that you can be free only if you are able to restrict youself. The world works such a way that you have a choice: either to have self discipline and free or to be disciplined by world. The more self disciplined people are in the world, the more freedom would be in the world.

Not everyone is ready to restrict herself to make world more free. But someone do it. RMS is the ideological leader for such a people. Like Dalay Lama or some priests of other religions. At least we can look at them and compare they life with ours. Compare and choose consiously.

Ah, and there is more then two possible choices. You are free to choose some tradeoff between sides which is acceptable to you personally.
