Matthew Garrett, who served on the FSF board of directors, wrote about the "not being neurotypical" hypothesis two days ago: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/52587.html

In particular, he says he did try to do the compassion and gentle correction work, and Stallman had no interest in it.

Stallman's job has a job description - leading the Free Software Foundation. If he's not leading it effectively, it is important for his own cause that he step away, and it is important that the FSF Board do their job by finding someone more effective at it. If he's not suited for it for reasons outside of his control and never will be, that's all the more reason that we should compassionately and gently get him to find another job.

(Also, I think this argument is deeply unfair to the many neuroatypical people in this world who still manage to not say the things Stallman does - which is in most cases not merely a matter of "tact," but even so, many of whom put conscious, learned effort into having tact. I have friends with all sorts of things going on in their brain who are wonderful people and in many cases also wonderful free software authors, and I think this argument does them a disservice.)
Joint Inference of Reward Machines and Policies for Reinforcement Learning
The solution to that is in having regulations enforcement gradually eased in.

It is kind of a given that a newcomer to an industry won't be compliant with everything and will need time to build up to full regulatory compliance.

The idea then is for the regulator to work out a compliance roadmap which the regulated commits to, and is audited for compliance with occasionally.

Think of it as a learning experience for small businesses.

We would have to do a much better job at keeping track of people's association through corporation's however, as it would lead to an unintended incentive to just dissolve a company when the regulatory compliance costs heat up, reform a new one, and reset the level of regulatory expectation.
That would be completely irrational and indefensible, but it's also not what Stallman wrote. What he wrote was that Epstien had the power to force his victims to act as they were willing. Stallman said he believes the victim was being coerced, just that she was being forced by Epstein to act as if she was doing these sex acts out of her own free will.

Hello from HK :). Quick nitpick: the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984 between Margaret Thatcher and Zhao Ziyang (really on behalf of Deng Xiaoping). 1997 was the year of the "handover."
Who’s doing that? And nobody needs to tell anyone else why they should or shouldn’t do something. Everyone can make their own way and living.
I am speculating about your specific question; NOT any specific real circumstances.

Which of these three seems more likely in GENERAL:

A) That this happened on a party island and all adults were willing.

B) That someone has been lead to believe this is a consensual act on some party island with willing people there; but in reality the victim is coerced into presenting false consent.

C) That the 'active offender' is aware of a lack of consent and that they are with a victim.

Since I choose to believe that at least a majority of humanity aren't evil; just more than likely stupid and easily tricked, I happen to believe that the set a circumstance being either A or B is more likely that C. I also believe that if "services" were legalized and HEAVILY REGULATED circumstances B and C would be FAR less likely to happen.

>the solution is to have the state get out of the business of sanctioning it.

Legality is tied to morality and morality is tied to religion (in those who believe in religion). You cannot separate them out in a society with high regard for religion. Even if you remove religion you still have the cultural views on morality which become tied to the state's laws.
The MSVC library has always been "source available" with Visual Studio, but I guess MS thought that they're very unlikely to actually make a profit from it[1] so they're giving it a permissive license instead.

[1] The "new MS" seems to delight a lot of people, but IMHO it's not all great; I'd much rather they not be "shedding" all this open-source stuff and kept selling software, if it meant they wouldn't stuff telemetry in everything they touch.
Was this supposed to be sarcasm?

I have actually never seen anything like what you mentioned when it comes to Rust. I think I have actually lost ~50-70 karma here on HN for constructively calling out some flaws and things I don't like about Go. Hasn't happened with any other languages though.

I think the cult mentality with Go is a special kind.

Btw. I'm Go developer myself and I do like the language, but I just don't get the "jihadist" attitude that seems to be far too common here on HN.
I was looking for this a couple of months ago but I couldn't find it in the CRT source. I don't see any tags indicating compiler version releases, so it's a bit useless for debugging purposes (which is the main use I would have for it).

CRT source really should also be also in an easy to find place instead of tucked away in the Windows SDK. But I've given up expecting any kind of actual developer consideration from the new Microsoft.
True enough, and one of the reasons I moved to one after Berzerks. At this point, I'll probably continue my migration out of the country entirely if I can pull it off.
>If any public network was needed, it should have been wireless.

I don't believe the rural NBN customers on Wireless Satellite technology would support this premise.

Even customers in suburban shopping centres struggle with their cellular connection - hence Free Wifi being so ubiquitous.

But regardless, our conservative government relies on minerals and education rather than investing in Australia's ability to compete in a digital world.

So here's hoping we can keep up with developed nations who are making use of the high-bandwidth infrastructure made available to them today.
This is just a common over-simplification of a position. It is easier to share and digest so it travels better than the truth. This is what social media does to public discourse.
I’m having a hard time with that math. I recently bought a two yr old Mini Clubman and with my payments, insurance, and estimated maintenance and gas for my 22 miles per day total commute it runs me about $18/day. In five years (or less if I choose to pay it off early) it’ll be way less than that. And then there is the convenience and fun factor which isn’t even in the math I provided. Basically I’m not sure two Ubers a day at 11 miles each in rush hour in a top 20 US metro area are gonna be less than that.

Had I bought a used Toyota (done that a few times now) it’d be even less. (I’ve always bought used - let some other sucker pay the initial depreciation) I drive my cars until they are about dead or look to be too expensive to maintain.
I assume that programming would play a decent part in whatever roles most people pursued. It would for me. Although the main role might not be a Software Developer. Doesn't mean software can't/won't get made!

If you look up the pricing of M2M SIM cards, the monthly per-SIM cost is more on the order of $1/mo. Of course the bandwidth prices are straight out of 2005, but these are only meant for phoning home with a couple bytes of data now and then.
This extra precision doesn't change anything. None of the proposed alternative monetization schemes have suggested you buy a cheaper brand of soap so that you can put another nickel of discretionary income into tipping websites. Even some of the money you spend on the generic store brand ends up in someone's marketing budget.
I'll grant this, but an outsider perspective isn't the same thing as basic rejection of serious rigorous inquiry. Thomas Kuhn's work certainly argues that scientific consensus isn't as meritocratic as we would like, but there are plenty of folks doing relatively fringe work that is nonetheless rigorous and intellectually based.

Climate change denial in particular isn't a product of outsiders seriously questioning the scientific consensus on any grounds; it's a manifactured controversy, founded on outright lies by companies that stand to benefit if we don't do anything about it.

The reasons for anti-vaccine ideas are more complex, but they aren't the product of a serious engagement with the other side of the argument.

To me the biggest difference is that [Reason]React focuses on components which encapsulate state, while Elm focuses on data structures and pure stateless functions. Both approaches have pros and cons. You can design a [Reason]React app similar to an Elm app, if you use pure stateless components exclusively and handle your state with few reducers, but you won't get the same smooth experience which you get with Elm. I still favor React though. React's component interface adds some friction and complexity, but it's also a nice abstraction which helps a lot with code sharing, especially when sharing with third parties. Thus the striving ecosystem (UI frameworks, UI builders, etc.) in React.

I made a round trip over the last years from React/TS to Elm to ReasonReact back to React/TS. React/TS is the least attractive, but it's the one I get most done with. Plus the situation in React has gotten much better since Hooks, PureComponents, Context API. I'm glad the mess with class components is finally over.

Correct; Cloudflare doesn't cache large asset files (I think anything more than 2MB?) by default. It's not that kind of CDN... at least, not for free it's not.

Of course, you can trick Cloudflare into caching your large media assets using some funky Page Rules... but I wouldn't suggest it. Mostly just for moral reasons. If you have that much traffic, you should be making some money off it and then paying Cloudflare with it!
In the long term, it's not user-centric at all.

Ask HN: It's 2019. Why start a new project in anything other than Rust?

They want you to contribute but you have to assign microsoft your copyright and give them a guarantee in case anyone sues microsoft over your work. (People sue without merit literally all the time and legal fees are bankruptcy material for any individual).

No, flipping, thanks.

Surely microsoft can, you know, pay you for the copyright if they want own it when they decide to merge your work? Or just take it on the same license. And as far as providing legal guarantees for microsoft? Yeah that's gonna be a no from any sane individual. Perhaps a big company like google might agree to those terms but also, perhaps not.

So no they don't want you to contribute, at all, or they'd do it right.

This looks quite disappointing. But as noted elsewhere you can read some source, or fork and refuse to contribute back I guess... But why?

Sexually harassing students, apparently:

"“When I was a teen freshman, I went to a buffet lunch at an Indian restaurant in Central Square with a graduate student friend and others from the AI lab.

That’s 100% on Spotify and how they’re implementing playback. I have Sonos speakers and Bluetooth headphones paired with my iPhone, and Overcast is able to display the selected output without any Bluetooth permission requests.

Spotify Connect is likely why they need a permission request... but the question for me is why they need it on app startup and not a one-time request when starting the Connect pairing process. Good security procedures would have the app requesting as few permissions as possible, for the shortest amount of time.
> So they said screw it, let’s give engineers/hubs freedom to work with whatever technologies they feel would be best, structure themselves and control their output without micromanagement from above.

Probably because this is what any sane CTO would tell them. But it probably doesn't help much when the above management tells them their task is to build an operating system. Without first getting a whole lot of technical people's feedback first.

If they pull it off it could be pretty cool, but considering how much they already have to do to adopt AI, I doubt they'll have the talent or know-how to really pull this off.

An interesting question is would it be easier for a tech group to build a better car company, that now suddenly is all about technology and less about designing and running a cost-competitive manufacturing system, than a car company could build a better tech company. But it's clear there's quite a few laws and other barriers to entry to help out the entrenched car companies who have deep local gov ties.
Here's how Coil ended up with $100 million to fund this grant (https://fortune.com/2019/09/16/grant-for-the-web-mozilla-coi...):

> As for the source of the $100 million that will fund the project, Thomas said it came via a grant to Coil from Ripple, and that in some cases, the project will use XRP—the cryptocurrency that is an integral part of Ripple's operations—to settle financial transactions.

… and here's why Ripple made the original (~$265 million USD) grant to Coil (https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ripples-xpring-make...) in August 2019:

> Coil, a platform dedicated to reimagining monetization on the web for creators and their fans, today announced a 1 billion XRP grant from Ripple's Xpring. The money will be deployed towards driving adoption of XRP and the Interledger Protocol (ILP) by growing Coil's monetization platform through mainstream adoption of Web Monetization, an open web standard built on Interledger that enables streaming micropayments in any currency, including XRP.

> …

> The platform enables creators to post public and exclusive content on Coil, which is automatically enabled for streaming payments. Creators can web-monetize their own websites by adding a simple tag. Those who want to support creators using Coil can join the community with a $5 monthly subscription. There are no membership fees for creators.

In May 2018, the first of several lawsuits was filed that allege XRP is a security: https://www.coindesk.com/investors-suing-ripple-cite-sec-gui.... They're seeking class-action status to represent everyone who bought XRP. Matt Levine briefly mentioned Ripple while covering the broader question of how the SEC would classify coins: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-06-15/the-se....

Obviously Ripple is inherently motivated to see XRP adopted, but also, an active micropayment/content payment ecosystem might strengthen their claim that XRP is a utility coin and that their ICO wasn't an unregistered securities offering. Some background on this question: https://www.sec.gov/news/public-statement/statement-clayton-...

Here's what that lawsuit alleges (http://static.coindesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/716bee..., as amended Aug 2019):

> Ripple claims that XRP has utility—like currency—in its use as a “bridge currency” for international payments. But, as discussed above, more than 60 percent of XRP is owned by Ripple and none of that XRP is used for anything at all, other than to be sold in the future to investors. Moreover, as for the XRP that was already sold or otherwise distributed by Defendants, the vast majority of it is not used for bridging international transactions, but for investment purpose. Accordingly, Defendants’ claim that XRP has a utilitarian purpose is nothing but a red herring attempt to avoid the application of securities laws.

No, having sex with Epstein's trafficked victims is considered rape in pretty much all countries. Protestations that the victim "presented herself as willing" are like defending a buyer of obviously stolen goods on the basis that the fence didn't overtly tell them they were stolen. Minsky was a 73-year-old man offered sex by a 17-year-old girl on his friend's Caribbean island -- he knew what the real situation was.

Just in case you/any other reader didn't know: That's just because they don't consider the ucrt compiler-version-specific anymore, it's distribution (binaries and source) moved into the windows SDK, E.g. Windows Kits\10\Source\10.0.17763.0\ucrt. The vcruntime is still with MSVC.

But this source never included the STL.
Stallman is a genius and lives a life like an ancient Greek philosopher or wandering prophet.

Like many brilliant people who occupy that category, he has no sense of social graces. He writes down the things he thinks. He has virtually no theory of mind, no way to perceive how the people around him are going to react to what he says. In the past, that curse has granted us with great gifts as Stallman had the boldness and fool's spirit of being able to say and think things others would not. That granted us the entire ecosystem of free software, and who knows how decrepit the Internet would be without his contributions. At one point this guy had the entirety of gcc in his head. I can't even fathom the kind of brain that could do that.

The other half of this condition is that he doesn't understand a lot of the world. He has no idea how people relate to one another, how they communicate with one another. He's affected by an extreme disability that puts his social abilities on par with many children of single digit ages. What the people are doing who just drove him out of one of the last corners of social prestige he had is bullying a disabled person.

There's lots of other people that are affected by circumstances like these. Most of them are children, idly posting away on social media completely unaware that they destroy their futures. I know an autistic refugee that had academic grants cancelled because of something they said on Twitter years ago, when they were 16. Tanner Flake had a politically prominent father and said some off color things in video game communities when he was 9 and 10. Google will never forget it.

This is all so perverse. The people doing this stuff are pure evil.
