The problem for the mentor is you can succeed and make no "income" but plenty of "capital gains". Or maybe your wife will on paper (nod to sister comment).

A mentor would be incentivised to get you working for a high income, a job at Google for example, and not investing or running your own business.

The problem for you is someone can come along for 1 hour, mentor you but not do much useful stuff. You then go away and are successful anyway by say using a normal hourly paid mentor, and the original useless mentor want's his 1%.

If you are going the business route, pay the mentor per hour, then if appropriate offer them the opportunity to invest in the business once it is ready for it.

He explicitly does not think she was willing. He thinks she was unwilling but was coerced to give the appearance of willingness and that the appearance of the two from Minskys point of view were the same.

This isn't a subtle difference. You think he said almost exactly the opposite of what he said
I'm from Italy, albeit not from a huge urban area... And I find the 1600sqft number for houses not exactly large, maybe just "normal", if it includes a cellar, an attic, and so on.

Hey, if you speak of standalone houses, that's probably the minimum size here! If you want to go for a smaller size, you'd probably get a flat, or possibly a semi-detached house.

And, personally, I think that a comfortable living with some private space for everyone is hard to achieve in less than 120 square meters for, let's say, a 4-people household. Too much noise, too much clutter.
As of yet I see no reason to disbelieve Gregory Benford's account that Minsky turned her down when she approached.

So he did not harm her.

and I'm not really sure what it means. I appreciate the wikipedia link and understand what metonymy is, but at the end of the day, metonymy is a figure of speech and formal technical writing discourages the use of extraneous figures of speech that don't serve any purpose, preferring clear technical language. If not this, then what does an invalid use of metonymy look like?

Tourists Heeding Utah’s ‘Mighty 5’ Campaign Overpower Moab
Many states have exceptions for people who are married, also age isn’t the only factor that is taken into account (mental ability is as well). There are a lot of little things like that in these laws, but the biggest one is if you go inter jurisdictional (or even extra territorial) and federal law becomes involved (must be under 16, 4+ year age difference).

Anyways, given that the girl Minsky allegedly slept with was 17, I’m not sure why the underage argument came into play at all given what I know about federal law, at least. But then IANAL. Anyways, all the articles I’ve read about Minsky in this affair say trafficking was involved but not specifically child trafficking, so I wonder if the fed’s case was based more around the trafficking and coercion aspects and not the ages of the girls involved

Also, another thing to consider: age of consent is often different when prostitution is involved, so guy could have legal consensual sex with a 16 year old, but not if they or someone else paid for it.

You are twisting what Stallman said.

-He argued that rape is no the same as having sex with a minor. He is right, that's not the definition of rape.

-A minor is not necessarily a child. You can be a minor and the next day be 18 in a porno movie.

-Never did Stallman said it was ok, He just raised the question whether Minsky knew She was being coerced by Epstein. Clearly not the same.

I agree the internet is getting locked down, it'll end up like daytime tv if we're not careful. But I'm two clicks away from access to Nazi and extremist content right now. The internet still is the wild wild west version of a library, in terms of access to content, but now there's laws and archiving of everything typed and read applied on top of that too.

This Stallman case is edge-case fallout from a massive political movement. He could have probably discussed the age of consent in public pre-2013 and maybe get a few disgusted reactions but generally be fine. The political control of internet arguments is more obvious than ever, and the quest for advertising money.. but I'm fairly sure I can start and run a website/subreddit/blog for whatever niche idea and be left alone.

Eh, stallman's career was basically always about pontificating from his moral high ground. Makes a lot of sense to me for him to step off the pulpit when he expresses himself so poorly, has so many people complaining about his super-cringe behavior towards women for the last 3 decades, and becomes infamous as the "is it really ok to refer to statutory rape as 'assault', or does that give people the wrong idea" guy.

This doesn't sound right. Even if two different sellers are selling the exact same brand manufactured product (say, an Android Phone), via FBA, when a customer buys from seller1, they should get the Item1 which was actually supplied to FBA by Seller1. They cannot get Item2 which was supplied by Seller2. When the customer returns the Item1 for manufacturing defect etc reasons, it has to go back to the Seller1. This is because Item1 has "manufacturing date and batch number", may have "imported from" etc that are different from Item2 by Seller2. Seller1 may have gotten it with different pricing terms etc.
This happened to a friend of mine. He was just sitting on his recliner watching sports and poof. Boy did he get angry while experiencing the TGA symptoms. All of us were really concerned for his wife, who suddenly had this person without a "normal" working memory to care for. Fortunately the episode was really short, even if it did involve a long ambulance ride and a stay at the hospital.

Given the circumstances, mostly the timing of the events and the external pressures on him to address some big stressors on a given schedule, I guessed that stress was a key contributor in his case. Doctors seemed to want my friend to focus on that aspect.

This particular friend tends to keep things bottled up, and then grows more emotional as events arrive and progress. It's hard to watch, and I've tried to approach the _topic_ of approaching it with him, with little luck. But it has been a good lesson to me: Even if you think you are OK and life is great, continue venting information about stressors regularly. Personally I regularly word-dump into a journal or into my phone for health purposes. My journaling template[0] has evolved a lot over the years and it's still one of my top tools for moderating stress. The stress will always be there, but it seems that, perhaps depending on circumstances and individual psychology, one can do _enough_ of this kind of work to avoid some major stress-related health issues.

A history of bad behavior isn’t a reason to excuse bad behavior: it is a reason not to excuse bad behavior because the person has had many chances to change that behavior and decided not to.
It's an interesting dynamic. I would agree that on the whole, you're probably correct that there is less censorship in the society.

However, it seems that the political division is greater than ever. It is almost as if there are two Overton windows now, one for liberals and one for republicans (roughly).

The republican one shifted to much less self-censorship, while the liberal one shifted very slightly to more self-censorship.

And RMS seems to be caught in the liberal one. He has held his opinions for a long time, and nobody really cared that much.

He is also not a particularly powerful figure. If anything, FSF is weaker than it has been in the 90s. That's also an interesting change in dynamics, the shifting of both windows now affects powerful and powerless alike, where in the past, it was I believe considered less decent to have "wrong opinions" if you were powerful, and the wrong opinions of the powerless were tolerated much more. (Basically, the difference between elites and proletes, and agreement who is what, is now morphing into a difference between liberals and republicans.)

How old were you when you first had sex? How old was your partner?

If you were both under the age of consent, as is often the case, in many jurisdictions [0], neither of you were able to give consent, and your sex act was technically non-consensual on both sides. This is not just theoretical -- there are many cases of prosecutors charging consensual underage couples with statutory rape, or with child pornography charges for sexting a picture of themselves to their boyfriend/girlfriend, and often using these laws in unjust ways (e.g. charging only the black boyfriend with statutory rape, but not equally charging the white girlfriend).

Let's assume you and your first love grew up in California, had sex for the first time just days prior to your 18 birthdays (when you both became legal), and are now 30 and have been happily married for 10-years. By your definition, you both committed violent sexual assault, and I'd be correct to go around your workplace saying things like "oh zzzeek? you know he's committed violent sexual assault. Some sort of rape. I don't know the details, but just wanted you to know."

This is a contrived example, and I'm in no way equating this with Minsky or Epstein. I'm not defending either of their actions whatsoever. But I think that Stallman is correct that using words in this type of manner, deliberately ignoring such qualitative differences in degrees, is unfair. It doesn't matter what the legal or dictionary definition might be -- it's creating a misleading impression in someone else's mind as to what you are guilty of, rather than simply stating in clear terms what you did and letting that person decide for themselves how culpable or abhorrent you are.

Does this mean, its now a ticking time bomb?
I guess it's ok to update the abort() documentation now.
I think that targeting a "creepy" social misfit is one definition of a witch hunt.

We can mostly defend against men that give out creepy social cues. Guys that are not creepy are far harder to defend against or get justice against: a guy that knows how to present himself understands social signals (almost self defining) and they can often get away with a lot because of that.

Plenty of guys hit on young women (I saw a study that showed that men of any age say they want a 21 year old). Are we surprised to find out "teen" is a major keyword on porn sites? Many men with a social standing (or money) use that to their sexual advantage. Go to the pub and listen to some drunk bro's: there is a large number what a lot of men say is extremely disturbing. I think they are highly immoral; but the attitudes are common and we usually avoid the moral argument and simplify it with a legal argument (statutory rape laws which rightly protect our weak and vulnerable).

I don't doubt that RMS has been an arsehole, and his workplace, voluntary workplaces, friends, family and acquaintances should definitely make him accountable, and take action against arseholery.

However, what seems to be happening here is that Richard is getting publicly shamed and publicly tried and judged guilty for being creepy - no accountability required.
It's the same reason, I sometimes still like to watch classic television; rather than choosing specific programmes to watch, I want them curated for me. And while television channels offer a mediocre experience on average, watching something I wouldn't have picked myself is a way to expand my horizons.

In the same vein, Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, I'd imagine, are there to expand your horizons in terms of culinary options. If it's just me going to the grocery store, then I'll just get for any old recipe I know.

They both remind me of a Danish company, Aarstiderne, which has been around since 1999, where the sales pitch is fresh organic vegetables with curated recipes by chefs every week. Particularly in 1999, when organic vegetables were harder to come by - even in Denmark, it made a lot of sense. Now they have so many different subscription choices (that offer different kinds of culinary experiences), that it's akin to picking the channel on television, but letting the programmers pick the programmes.

That's the appealing thing to me, it's actually less the convenience.

> the place Stallman screwed up was in trying to quibble over terms in defense of a man who we have reason to believe had sex with an woman of an age in a jurisdiction where that might have constituted rape.

This is where you jump to conclusions and become a part of this charade. All we have are unsubstantiated allegations that do not even say definitively that sex took place. And just based on that, your and the mob's conclusion is "we have reason to believe" ?

I agree with Stallman and everyone else who is extremely skeptical and advises caution. Alas, the mob is out for blood.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most colocation/dedicated server providers offer such prices. E.g. hetzner.com @ €1/TB, sprintdatacenter.pl @ €0.91/TB, dedicated.com @ $2/TB (or $600/month for an unmetered 1 Gbps connection).

> Communism is capitalism when something bad is happening

Well, not the OP, but even the USSR did not call itself "communist" (it was a "socialist state on its way to communism" or something like that).
I don't think it's unfair to make a distinction between "communism" as described by Marx and the "communist countries" which were/are at best socialist (at worst plain capitalist with a veneer of state participation) and ruled by a "communist party".

And I also think you can say that without attaching any value judgment to either cases: I'm not defending Marx's communism, it's an unreachable utopia and trying to implement it can only degenerate into the horrible examples we have seen.
Honestly and without sarcasm, maybe just take a break from this site? If those are the kinds of issues that you want to find more about, I don’t think this is the right venue. Yes, HN does dabble in politics sometimes but for the most part, this isn’t a place to talk about the “big issues”.
It's a valid first choice. Once you order and see what you get and understand how it's made reordering would be a challenge. The problem is the product teaches you how you don't need the product.
Yeah, I really like that article; it articulates a part of the social dynamic that I just don't see talked about enough.

But given the sheer scale of screwups here, the number of people's affected, while I have some sympathy for stallman, ultimately I think this one really is his fault -- it's one thing to make some social gaffes now and then. It's another to actively contribute to a toxic enviornment for longer than I've been alive, to be in the public eye enough that there's no way you're not getting an earful about it from time to time, and at no point sit down and read through some of the arguments about this and consider if maybe there's something you're doing that is maybe a problem.

Again, I have some sympathy (empathy, even; I'm no stranger to being the awkward aspie guy), but there's a limit to how much you can lean on that as an excuse.

I do think angry-mob-accountability is not a very good way to deal with problems, but part of the trouble is people are going to this because the usual channels have failed them. I the way through this is to put in place systems of accountability that actually work so a civilized way of dealing with problems is even possible.
