He's a bit unclear on this, but I think he also says that many of his videos keep getting demonetized, and this isn't an isolated incident, to the point that he's looking for alternative funding.

It seems trivial as a naive guess that SVG is TC if it can contain JavaScript, which is TC.

However, the posted solution seems inelegant and uncompelling. Simply iterating in SVG, which can infinitely scalable.

The author expresses apprehension in this closed issue: https://github.com/tom-p-reichel/svg-is-turing-complete/issu...

It is mentioned that they intend to demonstrate this using feComposite in the source code.

There are bits and pieces of how one would prove TC for SVG.

A first step, would be identifying basic operations, as they have done. The next step would be compiling to a tag system, and simulate cyclic tag behavior.

It is expressed elsewhere that the lack of loops would exempt TC. Perhaps it can still be argued through DOM manipulation.

My mistake, the Stallman e-mail referred to 17-year-olds, not to 15-year-olds.
he's being persecuted for having expressing ideas, demanding proof of claims, advocating for objective standards, and asking questions.

I don't think it's quite that simple. Most likely, the real issue is he failed to know when to shut up about a sensitive topic after being basically told to shut up.

A crux of the issue is that men expect to be deferred to. They expect to have privilege and rights. They expect their views to be respected. They expect to have a right to express themselves.

And women generally cannot expect the same. Which is a foundation stone of what gets called "rape culture."

There are a lot of subtleties here and I'm sympathetic to some of Stallman's points, but I suspect the thing that people are bristling at is that his failure to shut up is a failure to genuinely respect the feelings and boundaries of women.

This is the real problem women face in life. This is the essence of the disregard that culminates in sexual harassment and rape.

Without that baseline fundamental respect, women have no choice but to quibble about bullshit details like legal age. Because it's all we've got to say "He shouldn't have done that to me" in a world that seems hell-bent on utterly ignoring baseline respect for women, especially when trying to demand it from a powerful and wealthy man.

Good luck with that sister. The exceptions are very few and far between.

Except it is also possible for a 14 year old to actually rape another 14 year old, so there is a difference between “cannot consent” and “did not consent” if you believe a 14 year old actually cannot consent.

You can say anything you like in North Korea too. The government might not agree with you and that's fine.
I concur with your thinking on this. I'm no fan of Stallman, and I think both the FSF and CSAIL are probably better of without him ghosting around, but the way in which this happened is deeply problematic. Stallman's opinion in this case was clearly a bit out of whack, but the tone and style of the message was completely on point for his character. And therein lies the problem here, I'm fairly sure Stallman's points could have been formulated in a way that would not have provoked such a visceral reaction. Stallman tends to be unable to empathize with his interlocutors (or at least unable to express such empathy in writing), turns everything that happens into a case study in moral philosophy, and is a bit terse and snippy in his emails. All that makes him not a pleasant debater for sure, but are we as a society really willing to take somebody's livelihood because of their poor rhetoric style?

The next thing that happened was that the news picked it up, but got most of the details wrong, taking the problematic statement out of context, mischaracterizing his relationship with MIT, mischaracterizing what he did exactly, etc and as a result whipping up an angry mob demanding his firing.

Now, of course many people have wanted Stallman gone for all sorts of reasons of his general unpleasantness for many years, so this seems to have been as much a convenient excuse to rally those efforts as anything else. Nevertheless, one must ask at what cost - the blade of public outrage is sharp and hard to control. At no point at no point in this process was their any room for fact finding or reasoned debate among the people aggrieved and affected by this.

We've let Stallman spam csail-related for many years to the point that it was a common joke for it to be called stallman-related in the lab ("Where'd you find your aparment?" "Oh, I posted on stallman-related - I half expected to get a moral lecture from him about the immorality of private ownership of real estate, but looks like he was busy"). Was it a mistake to let that happen so long on a list that everybody at CSAIL is automatically subscribed to, especially the new incoming students? Probably. Because of aforementioned rhetoric challenges his emails are not the best first impression of the lab community. I think banning Stallman from csail-related could have been a perfectly proportionate response here (as well as making him take down that stupid door tag). This all-or-nothing witch hunt, deeply concerns me.
What's being lost in the conversation is that the child in the the story was trafficked for sex.

We are not talking just about sex with a 17 year old.
If you find someone’s copy of a book that was an important influence on them, then by reading their marginal notes you can learn something about their work or life. We probably won’t learn much new about Shakespeare from reading Milton’s comments, but we can potentially learn a lot about Milton.

Perhaps not in this case, but often marginal notes are incomprehensible without context about what else the writer of the notes was reading, thinking about, or working on. Once you know who wrote the notes you can often understand more of their content and relevance.

Expanding slightly, Elm (as well as others in this family), can create structures that assert certain rules. In the case of a list being empty, you can also use ADTs to create nonempty version ala `type NonemptyList a = NonemptyList a (List a)` where it's impossible to construct without that first element even if the second list is empty. A lot of languages lack this sort of feature. Then you can go about your code knowing you neither have to handle empty nor write a bunch of tests because empty construction is impossible and this is enforced by the compiler.

Well, this is the problem with designing backend, knowing what to do. Not actually writing the implementation. The way I see it, no problems are circumvented.

Cool development-environment nevertheless, it'll be really good for beginners.
... No? Well, at the very least Stallman wrote that he doesn't think 'sexual assault' is a meaningful term. He uses the wrong (by which I mean, not the legal) definition for 'sexual assault' and implies that there are no other definitions by rejecting the idea that that phrase can be used in an accusation.

You pulled that quote out of context; preceding it is:

> He was trying to argue the subtleties of child rape. There are no subtleties.

Virtually everyone knows there are subtleties around statutory rape in general! But you're missing the forest for the trees here. We're not discussing statutory rape in general but the specific instance that Stallman was defending. You're technically correct in that the very last sentence of martinky24's comment was literally inaccurate, but you are wholly incorrect in your understanding of the spirit of the comment and subsequent dismissal of the rest of it.

The subjects Stallman was discussing are not ambiguous first principle pseudo-persons of nebulous or similar ages. They are an old guy and a coerced, underage girl. Period. There is no subtlety here.

You’re confusing revenue and earnings/net income. Revenue is the sum of the sales. Net income, or earnings, is how much money is left after accounting for expenses. Uber alone has tens of billions of dollars in revenue.

> Germany (and I find this disturbing) the legal age under which a grown up (over 21 years) can have sex with a kid is 14[1][2].

It is not.

The general legal age of consent in German is 16 years. § 182 (3)

The special legal age is 14 and it's only legal if the other party is under 21.

Even then there are a lot of further exemptions that would make sex with a minor illegal.
Prostitution and/or pornography involving minors is always illegal.
That definition isn’t so cut and dry (different depending on jurisdiction). Violent crimes frequently depend on use of physical force or threat of physical force.

I use word of mouth recommendations for finding housekeepers rather than a service. I think a lot of people do it this way. I have cameras around my place anyways but at some point you're just going to have to make your own judgements about the trustworthiness of someone.
No, you specifically said:

> The law needs a bright and clear line, so you can know how not to break it.

But that isn’t true in reality for kids/adults close in age, nor is it a fixed line for every jurisdiction in the states. You actually have to know the law.
Thank you for sharing that. Was a really good watch.

Since the prefrontal cortex doesn't finish developing until the age of 25, do you think that we should change our definition of what a minor is?
Why not leave that to the justice system instead of an angry mob? Why should people be held accountable by a mob? That's a horrible state that I had thought civilization had finally climbed out of, but it's back again with internet mobs and people being fired as punishment for failing to correctly adhere to the mob's arbitrary preferences. If you really think he did something wrong, then try to get the law changed so future people won't repeat the same offense.
The separately compiled parts of the C++ Standard Library have shipped in VS installations for many years (look for xrngdev.cpp in a subdirectory typically named crt/src, that should be distinctive enough). This was intended for debugging purposes, covered by the VS EULA as always. These parts weren’t standalone-buildable and we occasionally forgot to ship a file or two, but we always tried to make it all source-readable.

Now, being open source enables much more.

They do. Amazon accounts for about 47% of online retail. The rest is divided up among a bunch of other sites.
The introductory pricing was a reasonable deal for two people. We learned some new recipes (always nicely-printed and savable) and the meals were always tasty. But once the introductory pricing was over, and once we got tired of the obscene amount of packaging we had to throw away, we stopped it. Chalk up another churned customer.
Yes, it's the same for grocery stores. Stripe and Square are trying to have their cake and eat it too.
I've certainly had fake products from Amazon UK. Certain categories of products are very likely to be counterfeit, while others aren't. For example there were lots of apple replacement headphones which are much too cheap.

>but I enjoyed my university experience where most of my professors were scholars holding more or less banal views

If their views are banal, then there is likely nothing novel academically coming out of them. That’s literally the opposite point of professorship, tenure, and academic inquiry.

I recommend you look up the definition of “banal” because you either used it wrong or you don’t know what the point of tenure is.

The power and experience imbalance on average is the problem. Minors can't consent not because there aren't intelligent, mature minors, but because on average they are less mature and experienced than an adult.

I could tell a five year old that if they do something Santa will bring them gifts. That could be something completely reprehensible but they have no sense of right and wrong besides what I might tell them at that age.

At age ten, they are more capable of deciding that on their own. As you get older you become better at that and more autonomous. But at a young age the only things you know are what adults tell you is true. That's an extreme amount of power the adult has.

At some point we call people adults because we expect them to now have this responsibility and decide for themselves what they think is best for them because at a certain age we believe a majority of those young people should be autonomous. But that age is a guess and fairly arbitrary. Is it 17? 18? Probably somewhere around there. Is it 5? Nope.

So you have to draw the line somewhere. It sucks if you're an incredibly mature 16 year old, but if you are, then waiting two years to have sex with someone much older than you shouldn't be an overwhelming burden if the social benefit is greater for those less mature or in potentially abusive situations.
Are sexually mature underage people prepubescent children now? It's ridiculous that people continue to willfully conflate the two just because they want to continue to have the moral high ground.

Funny enough the highest price point for IP ranges is somewhere between /16 and /24, IIRC.

You can count how many companies need and will be willing to pay 8-9 figures for a /8 without getting to your toes. And subnetting it and selling it to maximize returns is hard work.

But if you’re sitting on a /21? That’ll move before you can count how many IPs are in the block ;)
...this'll sound rude, but I've never understood how people do that to their books.

I have original-run Animorphs books, over 20 years old, from when I was age 8-13, all looking near-new. The pages are a bit yellow from age, but there's otherwise no damage.

People? Paying off politicians isn't some feature of capitalism. It's called bribery and corruption and it exists in all socio economic systems. We happened to have endorsed a specific brand of it and bizarelly don't see it as a problem with our publicly elected politicians whose sole job is to represent our interests but as a problem with the people offering the bribes who we didn't publicly elect to represent our interests.

Do you think that producers in Soviet Russia weren't or in modern day Norway arent forcefully influencing policy like this and this some unique problem of capitalism or the US?

Well, if their job involves serving female customers, managing sub-human employees or providing day care, then yes they absolutely should be fired. Otherwise, no, of course not. Because while it may be "obvious" to you that eating toddlers is bad, it is self-evident that large numbers of people can be convinced that e.g. blasphemy is just as bad. What protects us there is this principle that people can mostly say whatever they want without fear of punishment. What you're suggesting is that only popular ideas should be protected. Popular ideas do just fine even without protection, so this is tantamount to not protecting any ideas at all.
Explaining why slavery is wrong and why its proponents were monstrous is not the same as "lets have a continual public debate about my right to own you until the end of time".

I talked to a retired Doctor about this the other day and he dismissed out of hand the narrative that doctors were fooled by pharma reps.

But his take was that laying this on the pharma reps is a silly idea.
