I grew up in Utah and was able to visit Moab many times over the years. It is a great little town and the sites and things you can reach from it are awesome. One of my favorite hikes at Arches NP is the Fiery Furnace, which is permit-controlled. I wonder if requiring permits for more of the sites would help address these issues?

Of course, I'm also a big supporter of efforts to increase the size of national parks and monuments in the state as well (despite this administration's recent efforts). Preserving and regulating more wilderness would go a long way to hopefully mitigating this overcrowding issue.

Richard Stallman about defending pedophilia:

"The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness."

RMS on June 28th, 2003 https://stallman.org/archives/2003-mar-jun.html

--------------------------

"I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing. "

--------------------------

" There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.

Granted, children may not dare say no to an older relative, or may not realize they could say no; in that case, even if they do not overtly object, the relationship may still feel imposed to them. That's not willing participation, it's imposed participation, a different issue. "

I've started to use TypeScript and React on the front end, with a JSON RPC middleware on an express server with helpers that automatically implement service interfaces for API calls, action creators and reducer handlers. And all of them are type-safe.

I've spent a lot of time building CRUD APIs and GraphQL interfaces, and this is the simplest solution that has saved me so much development time. JSON RPC gets so much hate, but it's made my life so much simpler.

He "doesn't bend" because he's never had to. He's been able to leverage his privilege into a lifestyle of not bending.

You know what happens to people who "won't bend" and must? They break and die. So people in dire circumstances learn to bend.

Not personally being in dire circumstance is the luck of the draw. Not considering them, or playing "I wouldn't bend" and belittling them, is a refusal to care.

> Which is also incorrect. Sexual assault encompasses coercion without physical violence.

I was actually reading Stallman's site last night, after seeing the article about him leaving CSAIL. I noticed he had a "glossary" section where he basically rejected the use of many common words and phrases, because their literal meaning did not match the colloquial or modern use (for example, he rejected the word homophobia, being pedantic about the phobia part). I'd bet this whole thing about "sexual assault" is along the same line.
My lender wanted Equifax and Transunion only. I had no choice but to unfreeze it.
I'm not sure why you are intentionally choosing the least charitable interpretation of this.

No one believes in "magic dirt".

When we see such a strong correlation, it leads us to ask questions as a society and sometimes, those point to some uncomfortable truths.

Your parents being in a poorer part of town is often because they do not have the means to live in the richer parts with better schools, more socioeconomically accomplished neighbors.
Genetic legacy could be a factor but I implore you to do a bit more research on the history of IQ tests as they are today and understand that it is often hard for a measure developed by a benchmarking a non-representstive sample of society is very unlikely to represent the whole.

That's not how this works.

Credit Karma buys the data for their free product from Equifax. So if lenders look at Equifax (and they do) then that's the exact same data.

You might wonder, "But if their product is free and they spend money buying the data for it, how can that make financial sense?" and that's the thing most consumers don't understand. What's better than selling advertising? Selling actual _customers_. Nobody (to a first approximation) is looking at credit scoring because they're bored, they are looking because they want to borrow money - they are potential customers for a lender. So you sign into Credit Karma and it says you're doing well, and they suggest you could get this MegaBank Gold Card. In fact, they've checked and you'll definitely qualify, no risk. You sign up, and MegaBank give Credit Karma a bunch of money for _finding them a new customer_.

For all I know, my politicians have been incentivized to allow these autonomous cars on my streets. (For politicians, all it takes is the ability to tout - It’ll create jobs, you’ll be able to get on TV, looking like an innovator) Why should I believe the government that they’re safe? (The most recent Uber self driving death felt like a coverup being encouraged by the politicians as the original unredacted video wasn’t shared for a long time) How can the public become confident that the autonomous cars are safer than human drivers? Certainly there’s an incentive for the autonomous vehicle manufacturers to lie or distort the trust? What if these autonomous vehicles are just safer than a drunk driver blowing 0.2 BAC, but not as safe as a drunk driver blowing 0.08? If presented with those metrics, would you be so dismissive of their risks? Without human drivers intervening, I expect self driving cars outside of boring highway miles to be currently equivalent to around a 0.3 BAC.

Yes, I understand the point that self driving are an incredible potential life saving tool, and when perfected, thousands of lives will be saved. But if they’re released too early (know of any company with a financial incentive to release a product too early?) they are going to have many victims - possibly someone I know. And yes, the safety of autonomous cars driving on bumper to bumper LA traffic is going to be used to justify their safety on single lane highways during a Michigan snowstorm. Remember that when self driving companies are citing their “better than human drivers” claim, the humans they’re comparing against is “all humans”. Who causes the human accidents? The drunk, distracted, inexperienced or very old. Eliminating those drivers from the statistics, incorporate non-boring highway miles from the statistics, and you’ll quickly find that human drivers are likely tens of thousands of times safer than autonomous cars. Isn’t that a story the public should understand?

But, if you add on automatic red light/stop sign detection and auto braking to augment a human driver, even the drunk, distracted, inexperienced and very old will become 1000x better than today, and that’s going to save lives.

Don’t become blinded by the starry future. It’s coming, but before we get there, it’s more likely to be an the fire of an autonomous car that mistook a fire engine as a drivable highway.
Has your judgment ever led you to conclude that something ought to be said and it's the appropriate thing to say, and then choosing not to say it anyway because you can't predict the response?

I do that a lot.

You could trivially interpret that as "exercising judgment", but it's not that. I am exercising caution and self-preservation.

It's akin to the onset of apathy.
> Stallman was arguing that from Minsky's point of view, he probably had no reason to suspect that he was not dealing with a consenting girl.

"Consenting girl" is a contradiction. A child cannot legally give consent for sex. If he knew she was underage and if he had sex with her anyway, that was criminal.

WeWork is a huge success...for its founders. Neumann reportedly sold over 700 million worth of shares ahead of the IPO.

For some reason every startup nowadays is the next Amazon or Facebook. Poised to become the market leader in their field of expertise.
Most of the IPOs are losing big money yearly but the market is happy to support them with billions of dollars. Actions that would make Warren Buffet cringe but could make money if you're lucky.

This invites startups to take advantage of the situation. To me this is one of the dark sides of our society because the ones at the bottom of the pyramid losing their money are you and me saving for our pensions.

First, you are oversimplifying everything. Secondly, you absolutely have weight in that - so go on and offer better solution. Maybe your perspective is correct one, but so far you have not offered anything.
panic. if i don't get around to reading a book, like maybe if it's too boring or something, my dog will eventually chew it up. saves a lot of time.

If i were god and i were to make intelligent life in my image, i would give it the ability to forget things that it has been told. this seems like a weakness, but I think the ability to forget unimportant sayings is more useful than the ability to remember important sayings.

it's rather convenient then that books will eventually break down and have to be rewritten by the next generation of writers, who decide what is and isn't important. our ideas evolve and change with us, and the act of preserving them kills this evolution.

however the nature of books has changed: books distributed between many hard drives last longer than books on paper. obviously, everyone now realizes that there are way too many books around and not enough time in the world for anyone to read even a tiny fraction of them. this problem worsens for future generations as technology improves.

so there's this robot in asimov's the last question who will eventually read all the books for you and understand everything, and that's supposed to be god or whatever. but it doesn't exist, so do not read for the sake of relieving stress about "things that will never be known", "things that will be lost to the winds of time" or "things I would enjoy to know, but I just don't have enough TIME!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAxARJyaTEA". read what you have to and nothing more.

I'm normally 100% on board with condemning this Malthusian environment that has sprung up in the last couple years, but I don't believe that Richard Stallman is a complete victim in this scenario.

He has a long history of using forums meant for technology discussion to promote borderline (and that's generous) social opinions, and of being openly hostile to people who don't tow his line. In this instance he ridiculously downplayed the most egregious instances of sex trafficking of minors, by a horridly evil individual... who happened to donate almost a million dollars to him!

His previous comments about minors on his personal blog, which I don't even want to dignify with a description (you can do your own search), leads me to wonder what other connections than money he had with Epstein.

For all of us that don't worship Stallman - I consider him a net negative to the FOSS movement - this has been a long time coming. It would have been a deserved resignation in a normal social environment.

It works, but for limited devices back then. It is very respectable code in itself.
Not really: (stellar) black holes have less mass than whatever object they were born from, and the mass is the only way by which they interact with matter.

It's true that they don't have a stellar wind that pushes gas away, but they are born in the void left by their progenitor star, and once they start accreting there will be radiation pushing things again.
Just picking away at the 'what matters is that they are controversial' statement - that isn't in Stallman's control and it relies on 'everyone knowing' something and evidently without people ever being able to discuss it or test out ideas once they have reached a certain level of respectability. Stallman wasn't trying to make this an international topic of discussion. Important people are going to be wrong about things and calling for resignations is not a sustainable solution if it isn't directly in their line of expertise.

Everyone bar nobody has formed an opinion on an important topic that is completely wrong at some point in their life. To correct their opinion, they will need to talk to somebody who will explain why it is wrong.

This wasn't Stallman trying to use his position on the FSF to spread his opinions, he was using his position at MIT to try and defend a colleague to other academics. And what you are describing is an unreasonable standard to hold anyone to if a topic isn't supposed to be their central area of expertise.

It does matter what he advocates and it does matter whether his opinions are technically correct and incorrect. The 5-days-comment-to-resignation mob are doing damage here; and setting up terrifying dynamics. They aren't going to stop at Stallman.
Hm. I do find that to be in somewhat poor taste, but only because they've drawn her gender-hurdle as being almost the same size as the one for the girl born in Sahel. I'm willing to bet that if you asked the Gates, they would both say that the girl born in Sahel faces a far more considerable gender hurdle than Melinda did.
This might not be the ultimate answer because I think a world with a variety of experiences is reasonable, but making locations accessible may mean a lot to those in a wheelchair or unable to walk 6km. Let's say you work yourself to the bone, retire and then every natural wonder of the world has a lengthy walk to see it and you have bad knees - that's brutal. Or you have a teenage daughter unable to walk and you'd love to show her the view you grew up enjoying yourself. In your example, did the outlook itself change dramatically?

A lot of national parks have this mix already. You can drive a scenic route. you can do a short interpretive walk or an accessible trail, or you can do a half- or full-day hike, or you can get out away from the main trails hiking 100 miles across the park. You can stay in a nearby town, or in the in-park campground, or hike 5 miles to a backcountry spot with no one around.

But I think accessibility would be one 'point of it all.'
We can have a discussion about weather we should have billionaires in the first place, but Gates is employing his vast resources in an attempt to improve the world with a humble data-driven approach to reduce suffering in the world. For that, I'm quite thankful.
