> I think that no potential or current employer has ever given a rat's ass about open source contributions, and do not consider that work as valuable when making hiring decisions.

That is not the case with the D programming language effort. Quite a number of strong D open-source contributors have been recruited into very well paying positions directly because of their contributions.

I suspect the key is contributing to a higher profile open source project. One that is high enough that one can make major contributions, and not so high that one has a hard time standing out amongst the other contributors.
> California’s special right to set its own tailpipe pollution rules dates to the 1970 Clean Air Act, the landmark federal legislation designed to fight air pollution nationwide. The law granted California a waiver to set stricter rules of its own because the state already had clean air legislation in place before the landmark 1970 federal legislation.

If the law granted California the waiver, why is the executive (rather than the legislature) allowed to revoke it?

Okay, railgun it is.
Yes, California has all the tools it needs to enforce their will. For example, they can establish mandatory weekly inspections for cars not meeting their standards. They can tax carbon fuels at $1000/ton. They can set the vehicle registration fees (not the tax-deductible part) to arbitrary amounts.

I don't think this is the "is ought" problem. Most people recognize the existence of ought, and ought is explicitly recognized as a pre-condition for legal authority.

That is to say that we all expect, whether it is justified or not from a philosophical perspective, that ought both exists and that it should be related to legality.

Interestingly enough, there's a parallel to the San Francisco housing shortage.

There are actually many, many more amazing places to see in Southern Utah and the rest of the Southwest. Only a small number of these places are in national parks. Like SF housing, an increase in supply would ease overcrowding, but instead of restrictions on new building because of NIMBYs and misguided governmental action restricting the supply, it's actually ideological myopia that's at the root of it.

Utah's largely conservative Republican congressional delegation and state government pushed to roll back two new national monuments, and vehemently oppose the development of federal lands for tourism and recreation uses, while on the other hand are rabid about subsidizing extractive industries that aren't nearly as important to the local economy.

In both cases, the problem is made worse by ideology. San Francisco housing is expensive partially because local lawmakers are blind to free market solutions, and Utah tourism is harmed because local lawmakers are blind to the idea that public lands being preserved in parks may be the best way to bring economic development to the state.

> all societies before the late 19th were just a bunch of rapists and pedophiles

I mean, yes? Not sure what you’re getting at. I understand that social norms change over time and remain relative, but if a man in a society of any time period married 7-year-olds or barely teens, then they were morally wrong, even if they were clueless as to the wrongness. I’d hoped this was obvious, but apparently many people on HN have no concept of ethics and see absolutely (ironically) everything as relative.

Think about what you are saying - that given the correct historical context, you would have no qualms with child marriage? That’s not just a lack of a moral compass, that’s a psychopathic perspective.

The most alarming thing about witch hunts like this, is that big social corporations have all the means to control which panic will spread or be shunned. And if Stallman's FSF colleagues endorsed the panic and pressured him into resignation instead of protecting him, it might mean that FSF has just lost it's independence from corporate power.

Quality can be worse in a long-time cycle project:
- Engineers are motivated to slam their feature in, because if they miss the train the next one's not for 12 months.
- You get one moment per year to connect with your customers & understand how well/not well your changes worked. This means either riskier things happen or that innovation slows to a crawl.

My 2 cents, speaking from some experience working on long time cycle projects and shorter cycle projects.

"Removing barriers to cloud" worries me. Many government agencies have banned USB storage devices due to the policy complication and security headaches it invariably creates; I don't see this going any better than them announcing that they're "removing barriers to USB".

Being a compromise between convenience and safety is a core aspect of security, however when there's an administrative policy umbrella which covers a few ways "cloud" may be used safely, when it may be used unsafely... it seems like they need to create their own exclusive cloud or rethink this (yes, I understand this is a very non-specific, high-level-view document, and that the implementation details aren't outlined).

Hearing 'this involves a lot of risk, let's do this right' is one thing, seeing an administrative guidance from the US Government saying they will be implementing it is another thing entirely, and learning that this pertains to "cloud-in-general" use during the year 2019... I mean, to be clear, the document suggests that if they go through their own encryption funnel as specified by policy, they can touch 3rd party storage and applications. No matter how clandestinely you fill the safe, no matter how securely you hide the location in which it's buried, you're still using this big corporation's consumer grade junk. There's the saying "don't implement a technical solution to solve an administrative problem" (and vice versa)... this is implementing an administrative policy to acknowledge the technical problem, however what it will "solve" before they jump to the next thing will have to be seen. I'm willing to bet this will be scratched wholesale or change dramatically far before 85% implementation.
I know there are volunteers that do a lot of Debian work, but that is not to say Debian is purely volunteer work. Obviously there is plenty of sponsored work. https://www.debian.org/partners/

I’d argue without trying to classify and quantify Debian contributions, there is no way to know who is doing work on Debian on their employer’s dime.

I also try to contribute to various projects in spare time as well. My contributions don’t really add up to much overall, though.

Sure, it’s all anecdotal. But otoh, the notion that FOSS is mostly volunteer work is probably worth challenging. Most non-huge projects I’ve come across only have 4 or 5 key contributors. Open source is at least, not as distributed as believed for most projects. On the other hand, companies using FOSS have incentives to contribute, and sometimes will even hire contributors on important projects.
They banned cars in Zion National Park about ten years ago, and it was a good idea. Arches could definitely do the same, but the problem with the Moab area isn't so much overcrowding of the parks as it is overcrowding of the town, because one small town serves as the launch pad for so many surrounding areas.

In this case, the solution is to try to develop other areas and spread the tourists out to other towns, many of which are desperate for economic development and tourist dollars.

Interesting read, but worth noting this was published mid 2017.
Just as important as freedom of speech is freedom of association. If your speech is seen as extremely odious, other people have the right to cut ties with you. And if you're in a prominent officer position, the organization as a whole has a right to disassociate itself from you because of those views.

So is Stallman's speech in question here odious? At first glance, not really. But when you put it in context:

The entire brouhaha starts with a sexual predator whose actions are known to but ignored by associates because money (or equivalently, power). Stallman is defending an associate of his who is tainted by association with Epstein. In the kinder light, this defense is essentially pedantry (just rape, not sexual assault). In the harsher light, this defense is "there's nothing inherently wrong with the entire situation here."

In this situation, I think the harsher light is closer to RMS's intent. He has made statements in the past saying that he believes there is nothing inherently wrong with having sex with children (although he has now walked back those statements). In addition, he appears to have acquired a reputation as a sexual harasser among women at MIT over the past few decades.

With that context, it does look like Stallman shares a lot of attributes with "prominent people whose sexual harassment has been ignored because they're powerful people, and who is not sorry about it." And pushing him out of leadership positions because of those views is acceptable consequences in my opinion. More so because it appears to me that he doesn't appreciate how power differential may affect the ability of people to give consent, he is in a position of power, and he appears to desire consent that may be unwilling.

I can strongly recommend against doing that, GitLab almost seems to punish you if you rely on CE, just to force you to pay.

It was honestly the bane of deployments.
You are giving the mob far too much credit. It is just the fall of the dice that made them come after Stallman for what he said this time and not another. Had he said "Have we seen evidence that Minsky himself engaged in illegal activity?" it would still have been a crapshoot. The quotes are so amazingly out of context that if they were in the same mood, Vice and friends would still have quoted this as "Stallman says rape not bad".

Media are trash. Cancel culture steamrolls everything, there is no way to avoid being their target other than complete submission. You can word what you say as carefully as you like, but if they perceive that you're a good target, it won't matter one bit.

It's not about what is said, this is simply a war.
Not really an argument. Spolsky didn't suggest leaving out geometry. Trigonometry and calculus can be shortened and taught to prepare a student for statistical reasoning, which includes plenty of trig and calc. And finally, what makes the way physics is taught so sacred? Introductory physics doesn't bear much resemblance to what physicists have been talking about for the past 100 years or so, precisely because the student lacks the statistical reasoning that modern physics requires.
Even so, think about the damage he will do along the way.
Wow, this is actually a great use case for blockchain
I've also observed this. It seems to me that politics (which I'll use as a reasonable proxy for controversial views) has increasingly become more like a sport than an exercise in civic responsibility. As I like data I think one way to measure this is split ticket results. In 2016 34 states had senatorial elections. Each and every state voted the exact same way for senate and the presidency. This is hardly surprising in today's world, but this hadn't happened in more than a century. [1]

The point of this is that as people start to integrate political views into themselves (as opposed to just a view - something that's subject to change as the evidence does) it makes debate difficult. In many ways we're becoming more akin to religious nations. You're unlikely to find a nice healthy debate about the value, worth, and viability of Islam in most Islamic Nations. It is because such values have been integrated into the individuals themselves instead of being kept at arm's length.

And as a tangent one thing I would add is that it obviously was not always this way. During the Islamic Golden Age Islamic nations were world leaders in learning, education, and the collection of wisdom. We still retain fragments of this time in our language today. For instance Algebra, from the title of Ilm al-jabr wa'l-muḳābala by al-Khwarizmi around 800AD. During this time of growth and learning all things were open to question, including Islam itself. And then along came a lovely man by the name of Al-Ghazali [2].

In response to religious skepticism, which Al-Ghazali was unable to effectively combat on direct logical grounds, he chose to develop a new philosophy. And in his new philosophy he preempted skepticism by suggesting that there were no natural laws at all. When a leaf catches fire it is not because it was exposed to a fire or because it reached a certain level of heat but because, and only because, God willed it happen at that exact moment. And so the study of 'natural laws' is nonsensical, as detailed in his work 'The Incoherence of the Philosophers.'

And that idea, enabling one to revoke all logic and criticism and simply adopt the dogma without question or concern, was met with resounding praise and endorsement. That was 900 years ago, but this ideology remains a key component of Islam to this day. At the same time this was happening a lust for learning was just starting to take off in Europe... Kind of interesting to imagine that we could be on another precipice of change when 200 years from now e.g. China has become the world leader in education and people ponder the decline of the anglosphere.

Or this could be little more than the regular waxing and waning of insanity that in 20 years, perhaps sooner, will feel as distant as parachute pants.

“whether or not Minsky sexually assaulted her” is precisely the thing that Stallman was debating, and got into trouble for.

I strongly agree. Since Snowden himself is presumably in Russia, the U.S. government is effectively attempting economic sanctions against him. Their method is to scare anyone that might send him money with a lawsuit.

On this exact matter, he probably would. Lawsuits telling the executive that they must use their discretion in a certain manner, thus essentially stripping them of that explicitly-written discretion, probably don't have a leg to stand on and only judicial activism can save them. It's a silly idea, considered philosophically rather than in the heated political moment. What you'll get is something like what OrangeMango said, where they use other methods to enforce their will other than a particular authority for the EPA to carve out exemptions to a particular law. They've got all sorts of other tools.
