They are born less healthy because their parents are less healthy due to the harsh environment and due to their parents (the kid's grandparents), and if you extrapolate that for many past generations, you get a nation/race/ethnicity with worse genes which is inherently less healthy.

"Projects" and "Section 8" are two separate government programs, but they both wind up with similar demographics because it only attempts to solve one issue.

And in the case of Section 8, assumes best faith action of a third party. Which is hardly the case. Often, an apartment complex gets built as "Section 8" housing. And since the government is footing the bill, not the tenant, it's built to the least possible standard and service is usually poor. Because the incentive for the landlord is to spend as little as possible on it.

Similar thing happened with me and Michael Jackson's music. I was on an irc channel when someone mentioned one of his songs and I agreed. One of my closer friends said, "you know he's a pedo, right?"

And I started thinking of the kids Michael had sharing his bed and realized that, until then, I had had sympathy for them only in an abstract. Now I think about those kids whenever one of his songs comes on, and you know, I no longer enjoy listening to it.

They paid him before. But really big stores would buy the whole thing on credit.

Even if a vendor has a buyback guarantee for expired product, if someone were to break in and steal all the product, its the store who is liable not the vendor.

Not trying to be a dick here, but in the hypothetical "on the internet nobody knows who you are", why would you need to specify if you're a man or a woman?
I've personally always loved the interactions I've had on the internet back in the 90s-early 00s because someone's opinions/contributions could be analysed objectively without having to fall into the trap of subconscious biases based on the person you're speaking to rather than the object of discussion.

This is not to negate your feelings of being under-appreciated or respected because of your gender, but I am genuinely curious as to why your first response in this scenario would be to fake your gender rather than not caring about it.

It feels like the pretty common reaction of downplaying a bad situation in such a way as to absolve the privileged people of any responsibility. None of this is the fault of anyone alive today. It's a combination of history, geography and bad luck. But we can at least acknowledge it's all true.

So if the elevator from the moon extends toward earth and is held in place by Earth's gravity... why stop at geostationary orbit height?[1] Wouldn't you want to extend the elevator as close to the earth as you could go? It seems to me that the closer to the earth the elevator goes, the more Earth's gravity keeps its location stable, and the easier it is to get from Earth's surface to the tip of the elevator.

It seems to me you'd want to stop the elevator just shy of the strength limitations of the cable material (with some margin of error).

[1] I suspect the article may just be wrong about this, since as others have pointed out, the moon has an elliptical orbit that is not geostationary.

To expose people to this stuff continuously seems wrong.

Then again so does exposing everyone to it / would probabbly kill the service if it wasn't dealt with by someone.

Another concern is finding people who can handle these situations in a healthy way, might be few and far between, and generally the folks exposed to it folks hired into low pay / outsourced warm bodies in chairs kinda situations.

For me it looks like corporate hijack of open source projects.

One barely known person wrote an opinion about a person who's well-known in a specific group and who is respected and has appropriate power, and suddenly all the corporate media write about it. And it happened multiple times.

I think that the biggest problem is that people in the field don't give violent resistance each time it happens. Bad actors are everywhere, you have to fight them.
People don't call these people what they are - corporate prostitutes, they don't even say "Je suis Stallman/Linus, etc."
They see what happens and just cowardly accept it.

But the video mentions sending radio waves in 1986, even though the first suspects weren't claimed until 1988. We really didn't start "discovering" exoplanets until after 2000.

It comes down to the tenants not being the customer. The customer is the government. And as long as they're paying, you do the least possible to maintain that.

RMS was defending his friend who, at the age of 74, is accused of having sex with a 17 year old girl on a billionaire's private island.

There is not a defense for what RMS was writing or how he was trying to defend Minsky.

The prevalence of comments trying to turn this against "SJW"s or whatever "other" they can because they're a fan of RMS is disturbing.

This isn't us vs. them.

This is a man who said something wildly inappropriate in an MIT forum and got fired. He deserved it. Defending him by pointing towards people who overreact to things is a bit terrible.

The firing was appropriate and reasonable, not a response to extremists, zealots, or some other kind of witch.

Your comment sounds rational to me, but it misses the point of deconstruction to those who believe in it. The fundamental idea of poststructuralist (here it's called postmodernist) faith is that pretty much all statements are "power-structured" because language defines power thus there should be an effect where the only context which counts is power structure. And it means there's no objective truth, or at least it doesn't have any importance. Statements (and language generally), they believe, create narratives which are presumably either oppressive, or liberating. So there's no honesty in classical meaning when one does deconstruction. Deconstructor must find an oppression, because it is the whole idea, and presumed reason for deconstruction. It's meant to be a revolutionary act which approves itself by destroying old world, and building new one through language modification.
So I can't reply to your other comment. And since this is text I want to explicitly say that my intent here isn't to flame or troll or any of that.

>reconsider your negative views of HN.

Reading through the comments on this post I'm seeing an overwhelming amount of defending pedophilia or pro-pedophilia opinions and/or minimizing peoples negative actions (I'm trying to be general here so I don't get caught up writing a list and I'm sure you've read them anyway) seemingly all with the point that the people who are against these things are worse than the people who have those beliefs or who do those things simply because they are vocal about those things being wrong.

Like all social media platforms hackernews has a lot of general negativity floating around that is easy to ignore, people complain and people have different opinions and that's fine. However, in the context of this post and people pointedly defending such vile beliefs and actions I'm really struggling to see how you can say anyone should be reconsidering their views of the HN community. The nicest way I'm able to frame this is that it seems like the only thing this community is capable of taking a stand on is "I want to be able to say what I want when I want without repercussion". Which is infantile and cowardly but I guess better than being labeled a pro-pedophile and abuser community.

How do we find a constructive path forward with a group that is unwilling to condemn pedophilia and child abuse or those who advocate and defend it.

Not a snark, but how long before the is some sort of preservationist, nationalist, or other, declaration that the moon isn't they to be exploited.

It will actually work out better than the alternative, because the moon is tidally locked. An elevator anchored to the moon will always be pointed toward the earth, an elevator anchored to the earth will rarely be pointed toward the moon.
In the 1980s so many films stared teens, as a generation was growing up. We were barraged with moral panics that decried sex. The same is happening again, with another young generation growing up. They haven't grown up yet to realize that some people sell sex, that others steal without repent, and that everyone is complex. They haven't realized that not everyone holds their ideals.
No, I definitely got that (and apparently mistyped "innocent" as "incident"). The issue isn't that I object to "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". I think that is appropriate in some situations. But this doesn't feel like that; arresting this guy won't go and help or save a bunch of people. It's just revenge, and they're throwing the likely-innocent kids under the bus to get it.
Correct, the moon has a lot of aluminum and iron in its composition, once you can put a smelter and forger on the moon you have access to an endless stream of girders and other materials to make stuff out of. That stuff might not be strong enough for space elevator construction but there are plenty of other things you could use it for.

Whether any of that would be economical is another matter.

> splitting hairs on what is and what is not pedophilia

An accusation of someone having sex with a 17yo does not correspond to pedophilia anywhere in the world.

He said that if all girls were willing participants then the accusation of having consentual sex with a 17yo girl corresponds to statutory rape.

One-day shipping is definitely a logistical leap for mankind but I often wonder the environmental impact that is accrued in the pursuit of total convenience.

Also, their Prime branded delivery trucks are driven by gig workers, essentially making Prime the Uber of the delivery world.

What I find deeply ironic is that you probably only have a frame of belief that finds a politically neutral frame of engagement with tech 'deeply disgusting' precisely because of the tech that was created under that neutral rubric - tech that probably would never have been created under a more politically engaged rubric...

Why? Because such neutrality allowed the creation of a space where people could express anything to everyone at a cost that was practically free. If the creators had been more politically engaged - that never would have happened. It would have been locked down from the start.

Now - if you go looking for it - you'll find studies that observe what happens when human group sizes increase. More "punisher" type personalities emerge, applying greater social costs on expression in an attempt to enforce hegemony. I would cite - but feeling lazy.

In response to the ever increasing social costs imposed by such punishers - the ones who created the free for all in the first place, turn more desperately to their stated neutrality... largely as a means to avoid punishment.

The punisher types won't accept this - because they want to root out dissenters hiding in their neutrality... so begin punishing those who don't proactively state their right minded political stances in every space. They apply such punishment for example - by statements of "deep disgust"... as though this hyperbolic reaction is not hyperbole at all; as though the mere act of not engaging is the worst of moral failings.

I would be terrified of such people... I would be terrified of you - if it weren't for the aforementioned irony with which I opened. You just do it cause game theoretically you are predicted to do so - because of the system brought into being by exactly the sort of people you hate.
