I went to a few links and they were ridiculous untrue articles. We need a bullshit meter for articles that purport to be legitimate. None of the three I clicked were.

Disney with Fox (who will only have contributed 15% of their percentage or 4% overall) have a 40% box office revenue percent this year. That is absolutely insane. I’m not sure when the last a company had that much of the box office. But it hasn’t been done for a while.

Lion King grossed $1.6B. $1B outside the US and $500M+ in the US/CA. Yet one of the articles was trying to use the movie as an example of Disney’s decline? I can’t come up with words to describe how silly that is.

I personally do not like Disney controlling the media market so much and do not like most of what they put out. But I’m not going to straight up lie and say their dominance isn’t there.
put together a tiny wifi hacking/testing stick with my pi zero w. i added a USB plug on it so i can just plug it into my laptop, ssh directly to it (not via wireless), and then use the wifi on the pi to do my wifi hijinx :).
this way i keep my host systems wifi "clean" and can use the pi zero as a standalone device without having to worry about power cables, wifi connections, etc.

Hey, I'm the dev of Cosmoteer. I can confirm you are correct, I'm trying to get feedback, bug reports, and to build a community before switching to paid. In the meantime, thanks for playing!
A softer version of it can be seen as saying that language can be just another tool in the hand of those with power. Something that we know to be factually true since at least last century huge use of propaganda.

When then people start claiming that the only reason for hierarchies is power itself it start to degenerate quickly.

Surely this has nothing to do with moral objections and simply to do with the law.

The US Government took away citizens constitutional rights, and Snowden told everyone about it.

I like to think that even if Snowden is convicted of that, then that forces the US government to be convicted of wrong-doing also. i.e. you can't be convicted of telling secrets that aren't true.
Thanks for the feedback! We're not deliberately making it US-only (in fact we have a few Canadian and Euro companies) but agree that navigating by market (or delivers-to) would be very useful!

We too are wrestling with that question, what should be the threshold for an "indie" company? We don't want to limit it so much that it's not useful for day-to-day shopping (ie too niche/etsy-ish), but haven't been too prescriptive yet about how big is too big. Hopefully users like you could help us define it!

Hi! GitLab employee, thank you for your feedback! I'm going to distribute it to the correct teams, but I wanted to respond to a few points:

You don't have to provide a custom squash message, and the default behavior will be either (a) taken from the first multi-line commit message in the merge, or (b) the merge request’s title if no multi-line commit message is found.

Just saw a TechCrunch article with a title saying Richard was defending Epstein.

This will only attract more attention to him and what he has to say, won't it? If non-tech people did forget about him, now they will recall and wonder what came of all this.
If the lack of investment from certain segments of the population was sustained then the stock will be of lower demand in the long term hurting it's price for investment, if this is really well sustained and consistently done then IPOs for such industries will raise less capital because there is less demand available when initial investors want to cash out.

However, that's really conditional, I think in actuality we're observing a short term fluctuation and eventually investment will resume - in that case you're essentially handing your money to the people you disagree with by taking a loss (or less or a gain) when selling your stock, allowing them to purchase it under value, and then letting them resell the stock once the market has recovered from it's temporary depression.

So divestment would work in theory with good coordination, but I don't think it'll work in practice because humans are terrible.

Like it or not, "political capital" is a real thing. It can be spent and depleted, leaving you no more to use on the things you care about. The leader of an organization advocating for a particular cause (free software, in this case) should not go wasting political capital on rants about how "there's no evidence pedophilia harms children". Even if you completely ignore the problematic morality of such statements (which, to be clear, you absolutely should not do), they obviously undermined the mission of the FSF and Stallman should leave on that basis alone.

I really don’t understand the states rights arguments. Congress’s authority to regulate in an area includes the power to preempt inconsistent state regulation. If Congress has the authority to regulate vehicle emissions, it has the authority to preempt a particular state’s attempts to impose stronger regulations than the federal standard. If, by contrast, you think Congress can’t preempt California’s regulations, then it must follow that Congress cannot regulate vehicle emissions at all.

Lol, Snowden can't be prosecuted publicly because he's hanging out in Russia. If he got on a plane back to the US today he'd be in front of judge for a plea hearing tomorrow.

This is the exact opposite of what you suggest. Someone has such a motivation for "justice" and can't put him in jail, so they want to deprive him of the profits for his book.
> I yell fire in a crowded theatre, that’s ok it wasn’t my intent to cause panic.

The "fire in a crowded theater" analogy was coined by justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in Schenck v. United States.[1] Holmes used that analogy to send a Schenck to prison for protesting the draft in WWI.

> Meanwhile, podcasts, a much freer medium, is both more profitable and quality oriented because of the platform openness.

I don't think this is true. Podcasts are more profitable since their production costs are lower, their audience skews wealthy and its inherently easier to make longer audio content, so it's possible to put more ads in.

Nothing is stopping YouTubers from not using the default ads and getting their own sponsors.

I know this discussion is focused on Math, but I think most students get to college with a general foundation that looks like Swiss cheese. I think it's just a result of good education being hard to apply generally, and students lack of interest in certain topics.
Wow. Can you share more about this? Is it due to names being stratified by income/background?

I think your understanding of the tech industry is rather unlike mine. I have been a manager previously and there is quite a bit of documentation and process involved in terminating anyone, so much so that a lot of really bad apples can jump teams without getting terminated if they time it well.

Even when they're caught, they get put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) which is shorthand for giving them 60 days to find a new job or to turn their life around internally. Usually, it leads to the former, sometimes the latter. I've seen both.

It's an imperfect and biased process. But the attempt is usually made because HR fears unjustified termination lawsuits despite the "at will" employee status of just about everyone.

Unless they've tried to hack the company's servers for private data, I've never seen anyone fired on the spot without the above process unfolding. Maybe your experience differs?

PS I also think Charles Manson and The Unabomber were unambiguously guilty. That doesn't change my opinion that they deserved the trial they got.

It's all about setting expectations. I use this both to let customers in our Slack, and talk to people we're we are the customer. In the later case, the bigger company said "our reps will only reliably respond within these hours, may be delayed by x minutes".

Once we know the ground rules, we're all happy. I've taken to doing the same with our customers, so they know not to ask each and every tiny question with a @here ping, or whatever, and that our employees don't live in Slack 24x7.

This will not affect gas prices.

The argument is that this would make car prices higher. But so does building SUVs instead of smaller passenger cars like in Europe, so I'm not that sympathetic to that argument given that emissions also kill people, cause asthma and other issues and contribute to global warming.

If anything, if Trump wins this fight, California might decide to use other means of achieving the same result, like taxing gas more.

Remotely interfering into a computer normally refusing access to force it to transmit vidoe/data is a blatent violation of the 4th Amendment and illegal, yes. The "Remotely interfering into" part specifically since you're entering into a person's property without a warrant.

If the webcam was already transmitting for a Skype call or whatever then you can argue over privacy in transit all you want but first you need the person to knowledgeably consent to starting the transmission.
I did not understand any of that.
Could Snowden hire a US lawyer to represent him? Snowden does not necessarily have to appear in court along side his advocate. If the US demands he appear in court, his lawyer could motion to allow Snowden to appear by tele-presence. After all, defendants in jail appear in court that way. There are legitimate practical reasons Snowden cannot physically appear.
I don't know, maybe it's undersensationalized. World doesn't want to finance US deficits any more. The combination of nationalistic policies, aggressive and unilateral cancellation of treaties, grossly antagonizing one of our largest debt buyers, and removing any pretense of lowering the structural deficit - those are a pretty bad combination of behaviors to exhibit. If I were the world, I wouldn't want to finance the US's budget any more, either.

edit: downvotes, please explain: "The rate spike may also be a symptom of the sharp increase in Treasury bonds being issued to fund the federal government. The federal deficit has spiked to $1 trillion this fiscal year because of the tax cuts and surge in government spending. Banks typically buy Treasuries by borrowing in the overnight market. The jump in Treasury issuance caused a large increase in demand for short-term financing." this is via the overnight market, but that is part of the aggregate treasuries demand. Further, changes in the mix of top treasury purchases is well documented. You will note, "No one knows why this is happening," Jim Bianco CEO of Bianco Research, said on Twitter. "If it persists more than another day or two, it will be a problem." in the article. There has been much speculation if any large treasury holder were to selectively start selling. One can speculate how evidence of that would emerge in the markets.

fyi the first 20-so flights of the X-15 burned LOX/alcohol, similar to the X-1 or V-2. Later flights burned LOX/ammonia. I'm not sure about the ammonia, but LOX/alcohol is not hypergolic.
This is an aside, but if you want my personal opinion, I wish workers had more power on their side in both hiring and firing (firing particularly). It need not take the form of the government intervening directly but regulation can't hurt.
Thanks for clarifying. It seems I was wrong in my understanding.
Panchakarma would also have been an acceptable answer. ;-)

No, this is the only way Snowden can be hurt today. If other avenues open you can bet they will be immediately exploited. Mannings treatment spells volumes here and what they did to Manning will be a walk in the park (in no way diminishing it) compared to what they'll do to Snowden.

Unfortunately, many people are just subservient to authority. Einstein said of this sort of thing when authorities attack liberty and justice:

>Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

US courts even already ruled what Snowden revealed is unconstitutional. Howevet, it's unlikely he will unanimously be seen as a hero until he has the muscle in the world standing behind him.

How much value? Who determines how much you get to keep of it? These are highly charged political questions that have driven a lot of economic history!

I never said theft. I responded directly to the idea that people vast wealth is merely "the fruits of one's labor." And I stand by this statement: it is not, it is the fruit of many people's labor.

> ...is to fundamentally misunderstand economics.

I suppose I should tell my economics professors.
It's more along the lines of, and the maturity required to understand that, there are two sides to every story and the people on the "other side" are human beings, too, and in fact, not your enemy. Average Americans most of them, believe it or not. Chances are some of them have been your friend, neighbor, church member, frat bro/sorority sis, etc.
The best way to start is by tapping your networks (personal, professional, online communities) for conversations. Your first step should be trying to understand how the industry works, what types of partnerships exist (and what the value exchange is for both parties), and understanding the responsibilities of folks with different job titles in that industry.

Start with a single conversation with anyone you know who's remotely related to that industry (preferably someone in the industry, if you can). Look for second degree connections on LinkedIn to folks at companies in that industry and ask your mutual connection for an introduction. Treat these meetings as informational interviews where your goal is to soak up as much knowledge and info as possible - be curious, ask a lot of questions, and listen more than you speak. Always end the conversations by asking for other introductions to people they think might be relevant or helpful.

By the time you've finally understood the landscape, you've already started building your network in the space. You've likely been building your product during this time - probably by integrating with non-paywall publishers and smaller news outlets. Work your way into the smallest paywalled news source first and start having conversations about the value prop with them and why a partnership with you will be beneficial to them. From there work your way up to the bigger guys. Remember that it will take many conversations and you're building relationships - deals like this are not closed overnight.

Hope this helps - good luck!

Perhaps they do not believe it is utterly nonsense. I don't think it's nonsensical and I read the original-source thread before any of the follow-up reporting came out about it to potentially bias my opinion (beyond my bias of "Stallman is a creep" that I've known about second- and third-hand for a decade). His behavior was appalling: the attempt to construct a situation wherein someone Stallman knew personally happened to have clean hands while hanging out with a known pedophile and sex-trafficker of children, and then judging a protest through that lens, is just not okay, and even if he didn't have a history of gross behavior--which he does--I'd have had to have a real good reason not to eject him at speed from any business or institution over which I had authority for that alone. That it wasn't an isolated incident, and was known to not be isolated before this happened (more on that in a sec), would likely only harden my resolve to show him the door.

While it was known to not be isolated beforehand, it's pretty clear to me that a number of people have felt safe to tell their own stories in the couple days since this broke. I live near MIT but did not attend, and so I am not in any particularly privileged circles; despite that, this incident prompted a lot of people to speak up about RMS's consistent bad personal behavior as well as his bad public behavior. These sorts of things have a way of providing courage to people who have felt suppressed--someone is brave enough to kick one rock and dozens more come with. I would submit that if a nobody like me is hearing that stuff it is a near-certainty that people with hire-and-fire authority at MIT, and in decision-making roles at the FSF and GNOME, are hearing it and likely more.

This is what makes most of the protestations in this thread (not, I stress, the ones that you're laying out) so disheartening. On one hand you've got people adjusting their pince-nez and going "well, really, don't we need to have a conversation about statutory rape?" (we don't), while you've got another contingent who are all about clapping for pedophiles to "own the libs". It's just...really gross, and it's not about "free thinking" or "free speech" at all. (And it never really is.)
