Tandy Leather Factory is still in operation as a leather goods chain of stores, but completely separate from RadioShack. But they're both spun out from the Tandy Corporation, started in 1963 from the original Tandy leather, which was founded in 1919.

It is like a nicotine addiction. I am sure from the outside looking in you think it is easy for someone to quit smoking, but they have built their lifestyle around it and it's convenience and comfort it provides to them, it is very hard for them to let go. It is the same with a ghetto, many people living in them want those places to stay the same. They have built up a life around the society norms and don't want it to change. It is hard to fix something when it desires to stay broken.

Meanwhile, a war just needs to end. The structure can always be rebuilt. The culture may not be the same as it was when it started, but it won't be in disarray forever, and the people in a warzone usually want the war to end.

I once figured, could most massive stars have a black hole at the center? With thr crazy time dilations around a BH, I imagine the implosion would capture the escaping image of the prior star. I imagine a microscopic black hole at the core of thessun that immediately evaporates, but immediately looks like an eternity for us

Note I said charged. I suspect if you can honestly make the case that you thought there was genuine consent that fact would be taken into account in the decision to prosecute and in sentencing.

If you are concerned about whether consent has been given genuinely or not I’d recommend slowing right down and doing more to establish that there is legitimate consent or not have sex with that person at all. There is no requirement to have sex.

Like if you’re in the situation as a gone to seed old guy who is approached by a teenager at a party it’s not rocket science to maybe think twice about having sex with them.

You need to read what you reply to. I quoted an entire statement made by RMS on his own website, claiming that amongst other things, child porn and fucking kids, should be legalised.

Another poster asked why "adultery" was in the list of things in the quote, and I explained that I quoted the entire thing he said.

So fuck you, read something before you want to claim people are lying.

There is a saying that a person is the average of the 5 closest people to them. We could certainly argue cause and effect, but when I look back over my life to date it does hold true. I was very fortunate to meet people who worked hard, understood how to be successful, and are successful today.

One addition to the above that came along with technology is the podcast. The long form provided by a podcast lets someone partially add another person to their average for better or worse.

So he never suggested it nor he supported it.

He just didn't care enough to think it was problematic.

I didn't care if young kids spent the night out drinking with friends, I though it was ok and they were just having fun.

Until my sister gave birth.

That's the problem of being pedantically correct, people think that rhetoric can change facts.

Everywhere has trouble with environmental issues. We're selfish. And respectful travellers are indeed a minority.

I actually think that there is a subset of Americans, more than many other countries, that across all age brackets have a great appreciation for the outdoors. In Australia, we have families going camping and grey nomads, but we don't have anything like quantities of college friends camping together that the US has. Makes me quite jealous. Most of our parks have nowhere near the prestige or modern cultural history (s'mores, log cabins, the romantic stone inns in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion, Grand Canyon, etc). We have damper and I don't know what else.

I've seen comments in other discussions about uncouth Chinese tourists en masse, and Chinese explaining that these are newly middle-class Chinese now with money to head abroad, but perhaps not the awareness to always do it politely. But I don't think it's unique to China. Almost anyone worldwide would've seen domestic groups playing music on their phones or portable speakers while hiking, etc. Others feeding chewing gum to squirrels. I don't know how you get through to these people, because they obviously don't care about signs and park brochures.

Who jumped straight to the punishment phase? What punishment was doled out? "Removed outright" from what? MIT?

RMS chose to step down himself. That was his decision. Even if you think MIT told him to, that would ultimately be MIT's decision, not the work of some "mob".

Furthermore, stepping down from MIT is not destruction you're playing it up as being. People have done similar (and of course, worse!) things and, after being the subject of some number of embarrassing articles on the web and some larger number of angry tweets, are currently living their lives with new jobs just fine. RMS doesn't need us to feel bad for him. He's still free & healthy.

If you're worried about kangaroo courts and injustice, there's plenty to focus on somewhere where people's lives and livelihoods are actually at stake, like the US-Mexico border or Hong Kong.
A nomination to one of the two major political parties says plenty enough about the culture that allows this while targeting people like Stallman who haven't actually hurt anyone for their unusual opinions.
And in fact, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and even Mario Bros. were released for the Atari 7800, which came out after the NES and was meant to be a competitor to it, due to Atari still having the license.

Looks like you’re right. I’ve never heard it used that way. But where I am it’s just understood suburbs are built that way. Nobody calls it a McMansion.

Is there any evidence of this? There is a big difference between the place he works at taking money and him taking money.

The Guardian article mentioned doesn't state that he provided the information on NSA cracking attempts of civilian Hong Kong and Chinese targets as an attempt to gain legal asylum. On the contrary, Edward Snowden maintains that he provided the data as further evidence that the NSA was targeting civilians, a claim that the NSA at the time contradicted.

> Snowden said he was releasing the information to demonstrate "the hypocrisy of the US government when it claims that it does not target civilian infrastructure, unlike its adversaries".
I have only been following space elevator research cursorily, but it seems to me that this proposal lacks the most compelling reason for building a space elevator: breaking the bonds of Earth's gravity well. The most expensive part of space travel now is getting from the earth's surface to a stable orbit, and a space elevator from the moon does exactly nothing to reduce this cost.

It does still have some benefits, i.e. if I'm not mistaken you could still use this elevator to "slingshot" spacecrafts on interplanetary trips, and it would make it cheaper to get to and return from the moon. But it's unclear (to me) whether these benefits could actually be realized when the cost to get to the space elevator in the first place is still so prohibitive.

I guess what I'm saying is that this is just the cost analysis, not the full cost/benefit analysis. The costs may be a lot less than a space elevator from the surface of the earth, but the benefits are a lot smaller too.
ok. black hole and neutron star are between a silver line. I understand the idea of switch you spoke about.

My daughter who has autism constantly says things that could be considered offensive because she's not aware of sensitivities around race, gender, orientation, etc. It certainly can explain it for certain individuals. You can't say many neuro-atypical people don't say bad things so it can't be an excuse for him. "Neuro-atypical" is a huge, huge group of people who are very different.
> Speculation, which would not be allowed in a court of law, is unfortunately a perfectly acceptable character assassination methodology.

A dude openly defending pedos and CP, who happened to be paid from the coffers of the worst known child trafficker in history - who probably was a honeypot for getting blackmail material on famous and rich people - warrants a very large raising of the eyebrow. Stallman isn't some guy who happened to go to a single party hosted by Epstein. He worked for an org that took a ton of money from him and openly defended all the worst of Epstein's behavior. Anyone who would do that - even without the money - is wholly worth that type of scrutiny.

I'm so tired of people defending someone who has been an openly hostile individual for over 30 years. This went well beyond the spectrum or social awkwardness a long time ago.
I tend to trust her as well. Assuming everything she says is true to the best of her understanding, has she claimed to have had sex with Minsky? I've only seen her claims that she was asked by Epstein to do so. I find this an important distinction.
How Facial Recognition Works Part 2, Facial Landmarks
As Ben said...revenue has not showed up.
I really wonder if going from 2 days to 1 day is as valuable to consumers, and as impactful on revenue, to going from say 1 week to 2 days.

We might not see revenue increase for years, and revenue is going to become more expensive.

However, if AMZ continue to invest in difficult logistical challenges, the small marginal gains in shipping time might suddenly add up to a leap: i'm imagining going from next day to a few hours.

golang has nothing to offer compared to Java's introspection capability, performance, tooling, tunability, and even concurrency (see java.util.concurrent). Not to mention maturity and widespread adoption.

What if you make it past your teens?

Think about all of those people who immigrated to the US in the 60s-70s (born in the 1940-50s). A lot of them spoke almost no English and did it with almost no money in their pocket.

But they thrived. There's so many successful small businesses in the US ran by people of that generation who immigrated (and now their kids). At least in NY.

When you're put into situations like that there's no time to think negatively, be anxious, depressed or have other issues that plague so many people today. Your mental health is a big dictator of your future and there's for sure lots of chemical issues involved but I do think in a decent number of cases your environment plays a big role -- but in this case, being in an environment of change / non-extreme comfort from early on (teens and lower) might be an astronomically sized benefit because it sets you up to think in a different way for the rest of your life.
Keep in mind the ages of the people this is about. Melinda met Bill while working as a GM at Microsoft. She was working in tech in the mid-late 80's. I don't find it much of a leap to believe the subject of gender came up in her professional life in a negative way.

We got to Snow Canyon SP this summer and it was beautiful, and there were loads of camp sites spare. That was their off-peak time. Just had to get up a bit earlier to hike areas while they were still shaded, and you got a great experience without anyone around. Feels like no matter how many places you see in Utah, there are still more epic spots for the next trip.

I think the ranger in The Maze mentioned that July had seriously low visitorship. Something like 7 people/day hiking in because of the heat and exposure?
There is overlap, in project-based Section 8, which is based on government contracts with private landlords for specific housing projects, as opposed to the better known form of Section 8 which follows the individual rather than being locked to a particular housing project.

Of course who your daddy is is that other really predictive factor, and Gates could have been born in the US and be white, having a dad with a couple of million in the bank surely didn't hurt. It rates a mention in the first paragraph but it isn't reflected elsewhere in the text or the graphics. And if it were it would look like Bill started out from the top of a hill and slid down to the goal of being wealthy rather easily. Of course it was still hard work, but not more of it and not harder than plenty of others that tried just as hard but who did not have wealth to start with.

My other comment was censored, I just strongly disagree with the cancel culture that led to Stallman's resignation.

The person Sarah Mei seems to be leading this fight against Stallman even going so far as renouncing the concept of free software and the GPL because of the association with Stallman.

This is entirely wrongheaded, you can agree with the concept of free software and the GPL and disagree with the political views of Stallman. Personally I don't agree with Stallman's political views but he is right on the issues of software freedom and without that I don't think we would be where we are today, having legally protected operating systems, compilers and so forth free for anyone to use, study, or improve upon.

Sorry to reply a third time, but the rangers of the story talk about a better distribution of visitors across the day. Half Dome permits started on weekends only and then adjusted from there. A permit system for hotspots between 10am and 3pm for example could manage the peak crowds but not prevent anyone seeing the highlights if they adjusted their schedule very slightly.

In some places, this could be done with paid parking at certain times of the day, perhaps besides those with disability permits.

> He never suggested though that an old man having sex with a 14 years old girl was an ok thing.

> People who wanted to read it, read it from his words, but he never said it.

Sure he did. His words were not written in vacuum, he wrote them in a discussion thread about Epstein.

It's not like someone took his words from a scholarly discussion of sexual development and put them misleadingly in the sex trafficking context.

RMS proudly(!) did that. As he likes to raise trouble. Remember when he told a new parent not to mention his newborn, and everybody else on the list told him he's an asshole?
The point is choice. As a woman, in many places you have no choice about what you do with your life. Of course, in many of those same places, men have little choice about what to do with their lives, but as the article points out, men tend to have a greater amount of choice on average.
The problem is that today you can't sit on the sidelines when certain factions are trying to normalize pedophilia and do away with individual rights. I kind of think it's necessary to draw a moral line and defend it, so sorry if you are offended by that, but my kids aren't going to go through what happened to me as a child. I will kill anyone who thinks they can molest my kid and happily suffer the consequences for that action. It's only right.

I don't even know what Stallman was accused of and frankly I don't care. He was always way out there and lots of corporate fools don't like him because he hurts their scams to make billions off of the rest of us and enslave us in the process. So again, taking a stand for something that matters more than you can imagine.
> BTW, the author claims Go is faster than Java. Is this true, because it didn't used to be?

Not for any meaningful deployments. The amounts of optimizations done by HotSpot completely dominate anything that golang does (which isn't much). In golang, not even function parameters are optimized to be passed in registers, let alone aggressive interface devirtualization, etc.
Not really. I understand your complaint, but what you're saying would kill entrepreneurship. How else can companies compete if they're not even allowed to go 'hey, I think we've got a better solution at a lower price'.
One disappointment with space elevators is the speed at which you can safely travel along them. For example, if you were to travel at 1000 km/h it would take 15 days to get to the moon and just under 2 days to get to geostationary orbit (if there was also an elevator for that)
"Headlines say that I defended Epstein," Stallman wrote. "Nothing could be further from the truth. I've called him a 'serial rapist,' and said he deserved to be imprisoned. But many people now believe I defended him — and other inaccurate claims — and feel a real hurt because of what they believe I said. I'm sorry for that hurt. I wish I could have prevented the misunderstanding."

It's about nuclear density. Neutron stars are held up by neutron degeneracy pressure.

Another fun fact is that the magnetic field energy density alone near the surface of a pulsar (1e12 gauss and up) is about that of lead. (~40 g/cm^3).
