It is striking to see you say it, given the decades of immense cultural pressure to convince young Americans that of course you should be willing and happy to seek out sex with old billionaires -- it's fulfilling!

It's so hard to imagine the origins of the Playboy-era now. But it was dominant among the educated classes through the 80s or 90s. The change is mostly for the better. I suppose the pendulum will swing again some day, but likely not in my lifetime.
You know that taxation from London supports the regions along with EU money which is ironic considering that areas that are net beneficiaries from the EU (and have less immigrants) voted leave.

Hi Emily, I've been following the Gitlab saga from reasonably close by (I'm Dutch), if and when you go public you can count on me buying a substantial number of shares just to put my Euros where my mouth is. Best of luck to all of you.
Is anyone claiming that there are no biological differences between genders? It's very blatantly obvious that there are. I think the idea that many people oppose, is that the existence of some biological differences justifies other social differences.
I am not sure of the point you are trying to argue here.

I live close to one of the tributaries that is significantly affected by the sewage issues in London at the moment, not far from the Three Mills area. I've looked at flats around there and they are a good 15-20% cheaper than I'd expect... with the main caveat being that much of the area kinda smells. I would expect many of them to increase in value once Tideway comes online and that area smells less.

I also walk along the Jubilee Greenway in East London quite a lot, and much of that is built on top of the old above-ground sewer pipes that lead down to the old Bazalgette sewage pumping station in Abbey Mills. Hopefully once those pipes are decommissioned the Jubilee Greenway should be much nicer to walk along!

Are you using any of the paid Jenkins plugins in the Atlassian Marketplace? Does BitBucket show CI build status on PRs? Can you retry builds from BitBucket or do you have to visit Jenkins dashboard to retry a build? (Just curious, we recently switched, and I'm finding Jenkins to have a much steeper learning curve than GitLab CI had)
Show HN: Risk Assessment Tool for Teams
Hey! I'm an engineer and facilitated hundreds of risk assessment sessions throughout my career.
I built https://teamsuccess.io to make risk assessment sessions more engaging for teams, and help teams identify risks continuously.

I'd love feedback, and I'm interested to hear how your team currently does risk assessments?
This isn't an accusation of fraud. Note that the post you quoted includes the words "I bet", so you should know its speculation. Accusing them of fraud would be claiming the packaging materials aren't recyclable. Note that the OP's claim is that most of the packaging probably doesn't get recycled. I don't find this at all far-fetched, as many people who are environmentally conscious enough to care about recycling everything will also be bothered by the amount of packaging material.

Recyclable materials that end up in a landfill are no better than non-recyclables in that same landfill, as even organic materials don't really decompose in a landfill.
or simply that male subjects are for some reason or another easier to present in an interesting way, as decided by curators etc of any gender.

I'm not going to pay for every stupid little thing I do on the internet. And I'm sure there have been attempts at stuff like this, but who really wants this?

I can see it now.. every link I click on here or reddit I have to pay $0.05 to read. Yeah, no thanks. Suddenly the most upvoted things will be ones that people promote to make money on etc.

I already have to pay for every damn thing when I leave my house.. when I'm at my house browsing the internet I would really like to not have to constantly be mindfucked with small purchases every moment.

Search in general in Gitlab is painful. Searches seem to require 3 or more characters, but if you put two you just don't see any results. No warning saying add more. Pretty intuitive.

The file name search is pretty rapid though.

Github Enterprise was released in 2011.
glad to know kids will stop getting fucked when all the bad opinions go away. thank you for all your hard work.
If you want to go farther back, only women were supposed to wear wedding rings, because it symbolizes the chains the men used to keep them,.. so I guess abuse was part of the arrangement, way way back.
Agreed. The big thing is that when I'm starting a Node project, Gitlab's CI setup is like 5 lines in a text file and takes me literally about 30 seconds to set up. It's stupidly easy.

This has been a huge influence in me doing more automatic testing on personal projects and using merge-based workflows more often.
It's being tightly integrated with Azure and the new Azure DevOps.

From my experience working with that, it's very nice. But there is always the anti-Microsoft bias around, so GitLab may do well for that reason alone.
> . Urban areas are more efficient for almost all resources. What we need is making urban areas more attractive. Some people will of course always choose a lifestyle that prefers a big house, which we can't provide in an urban area, but we can address other benefits people see in a rural setting by smarter city planning.

It's probably politically impossible, but the right answer seems to me to stop subsidizing sparse living so heavily, and let people's preferences sort it out. I happen to prefer urban environments, but i understand the appeal of sparser living: it just seems like if you prefer something that's much more costly to society, you can pay for it.
Not necessarily being numb to it, but surely you would need something to ground yourself with, should the need arise. Certainly there is always something that tends to stick, even if you pretend that it doesn't phase you.

I think realization of the fact that the internet connects everyone and no matter what you espouse, someone will call you names for it, can indeed help with emotional responses to content.

> He was not defending Minsky, he argued that the crime (which he states he had no reason to deny) as described was not "assault".

But he was wrong about English usage and about legal usage of the word "assault".

When we're talking about a child who has been trafficked and coerced into sex it's weird to "well actually, is it really assault?" into the conversation, especially if that's based on his misunderstanding of what the word means.

And the effect of his interject was to defend Minsky. When hundreds of people misinterpret him the blame lies with his poor communication, not their lack of comprehension.
The parents comment was about it being ok to have sex with a 17 year old because that’s ok in some jurisdictions. I’m saying that’s not how laws work.
Surprisingly, this is a real position of many people today, that gender is entirely a social construct. It's pretty clear there are both social and biological underpinnings to gender - I don't know why some people insist on taking the black or white view.
> "wow thats not ok to say"

I read what he wrote, and i DO think it's okay to say. Further more i think it's RIGHT to have said it, publicly, especially by a person of his standing.

It took an incredible amount of courage and determination for rms to have the impact that he's had on the world.

And now, he's been cancelled.

This is a bad sign.
GitHub should help azure compete with amazon's aws offerings as well as Google's. GitHub is also where MS hosts many of their open source projects so brining that "in house" was probably a large part of the acquisition strategy.

How GitLab can have this kind of high evaluation is beyond me when they sale only one part of what Atlassian( bitbucket) offers.
I'm sorry, all that you said applies to men as well.

Besides, your statement about wars is outright insulting! You've degraded the male victims of war (of whom there are a lot more) entirely by shifting blame for violence on them. In most wars you'd get thrown in jail if you refuse to go and fight!
Thank you for the civil response. Good primer on the websites as well, so far I've been taking every written word everywhere as 100% truth and fact but your point is something I had never considered before.

If a 66 year old man tells you that contrary to everything he's written on the matter, he has recently learned that having sex with children is wrong, is that a moment where you wouldn't personally get too bent out of shape about it?

I mean, yes we all change our minds about things. But is there no nuance to it at all? Do you erase someone's entire past as soon as he says "I've changed my mind, child rape is wrong"?
Urban centers may be more efficient but urban sprawl is not. We need to rethink urban development and optimize for efficient use of space, ease of access to services, transportation and livability. I think the optimal solution would be a network of urban hubs connected by efficient transport and buffered by mixed agricultural and recreational land. Use mixed zoning so people and businesses can locate themselves at their preferred distances. Ideally, these hubs would be fairly close together so people could easily live, work, and play in any number of them. Focus on public transportation and walkability to give an edge to both localized and specialized businesses and to promote social contact.

This isn't really possible to do in established metropolises but it could be done in areas where small towns are the mainstay.
Free speech is generally accepted to be in the service of “political dialogue”.

In so far as Stallman was discussing the law, he was genuinely engaging in political dialogue; in so far as he was speculating about Minsky or the situation in question he was not.

To say that we can exercise speech but must face the “consequences” is just begging the question — what “consequences” are compatible with a free society? If my boss says it would be a great thing if California secedes from the Union, and I say I doubt that would go well, we rely so much on other states for water, &c, &c ... I may definitely offend him. How acceptable is it that a person be fired in that situation?

I'm guessing GitLab will slowly gain more and more traction in the OSS community. It hasn't been around for nearly as long as GitHub, and has several compelling reasons to be used over GitHub specifically for open source projects.
His use of "plausible" is interesting here. It is plausible that she wouldn't announce that she was a blackmail-trap/underaged sex worker/trafficked slave or whatever.

It's not plausible that an 17 year old would be propositioning old men
without any external influence in this situation. I think he's strongly implying this and that's part of what got the strong reaction.

I'd suggest due to that, the statement is dodgy even before you get to the bit you highlight.
Knowing what you're doing always mattered, but you don't need to be a qualified engineer to deploy software, unlike say, a building. I maintain that we need the title of 'software engineer' to really mean something, and for someone in a position like Chief Security Officer to be qualified as such. If a bridge collapsed due to the person responsible being a music teacher then you can bet there'd be jail time.
Tons of women are describing his shitty behavior over the years and how they were told to avoid him. "Christ, why would I want to work there near this guy" leading to women leaving the community produces the same outcome as organized discrimination.

If RMS had just thought this stuff in his head he'd be fine. His actions harm the community. This is the exact opposite of a "thought crime".

Mortgage portfolio performs best when its different portions match the exact specs of the models used to model the portfolio.

That basically means "plug in the numbers and receive an answer". That's automated underwriting. It is done pretty much exclusively for conforming loans: specific LTV, specific DTI of the borrowers, specific ranges of credit scores, specific amounts, specific points.

Manual underwriting is "In a view of a loan officer this mortgage should be ok".

People think that when they go to get a loan in a bank and sit down with a manager or a loan officer, they are getting manual underwriting. It is rarely the case -- most of the people on the other side just type in the answers into the software and it spits out the answer. That's what the likes of quickenloans and lending tree optimize and market.

Manual underwriting can be something like engineer #10 of WeWork shows up at a bank today and say "So, I want to buy that house for $5 million, and when We goes public I am going to be worth about 80mil, plus I still make my $250k a year". Most of the banks cannot handle this even though anyone with a brain should say 'Hmm... if he pledges all of the shares he currently owns plus all of his options and if he can get us in writing company's agreement that he can do that then we should totally loan him the money because his current holdings are worth $10m, he is borrowing $5m, and there are options that he should be able to exercise and he only has $80k in debt and his credit score is 675, so it seems he is ok. He is definitely a safer bet than that guy putting 25% down who will have only 10k in assets left after the first payment on a $2m loan we are giving. So if we are going to give a loan to the $2m guy, we should definitely give a loan to the WeWork engineer if he pledges his shares"

So there's an entire industry that exists which charges money for this "underwriting" when in reality it just sends the applications to a few banks that do it. But lots of people think that a mortgage broker can get them a better than deal a primary lender bank because of all the marketing. Those are the people that "won't pull Equifax because you asked"
This particular discussion isn’t about the consequences to Stallman, but rather following the laws around age of consent.
For me, integration with Linkedin would be much more powerful than integration with Github. My Github is full of my experiments and side projects with ReasonML, OCaml and Clojure. My day job is all about building React applications. Also, a better preview of the non-free themes would be nice but I could imagine you are concerned with people extracting the CV without paying.
The notion that there are any biological differences between genders that can affect anything other than explicitly gendered biological processes, seems to be commonly considered highly "toxic" and "problematic" amongst modern progressives.
Please give gitlab some more money so they can enhance development. My experience with gitlab has not been the best. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20923559 But congrats to the team too. It's good to see another startup succeeding for delivering real value.
I've never heard that phrase used in a positive light.
Don't discount the acousmatic and electroacoustic traditions that also lead from western classical forms. A good, wide exposure to the international contemporary classical music scene might be the Gaudeamus festival held each year in the Netherlands.

He also redefined the legal term sexual assault in the discussion. According to him Minsky was at the very least innocent of sexual assault because having access to a dictionary let him conclude that assault implied violence[1]. There are winning arguments to be had, unless we adopt GNU/law that isn't one.

Hostile? Hostile was the time I was setting up entertainment equipment in an LGBTQ center in Manhattan and had a rather large fellow harass me. First he was polite and chatted with me, I could tell he was interested in me. He kept asking me if I was attending the party or if I wanted to stay. I was polite, told him I was simply the setup crew and rebuffed. Then out of nowhere he pushes a table against me pinning me to a wall as he jokingly said "now you have no choice but to stay until I take you home tonight" That was physical and sexual harassment which was fucking gross and disgusting. I told him to fuck off and I reported that whack job to the staff. They were just like "oh. thats so-and-so for ya." That is a hostile work environment.

What RMS did in that instance was certainly gross and awkward but in no way hostile. People lack perspective.
If they want to target illegal activities such as that, I say go for it. Otherwise for things we simply don't like, provide users some filtering tools and leave it at that.
I find it strange that the Gates always talk about lives that are "healthy and productive". Can't it be "healthy and happy"? Why should anyone seek productiveness?
This may be the one big reason.
>While I resent most these attacks, the "I'm only here for the tech" stand, many tech-people have, deeply disgusts me.

Is it surprising? How many people here work for horrible companies, and justify it to themselves by simply following directions? In a similar discussion the other day, a user literally wrote that they would have to be paid substantially well to report wrong-doings their company is involved with so as not to interrupt their lifestyle.

Disgusting, yes.
Of course they should still be able to live a good life, but they should certainly not be able to hold a position of power over the people who their opinions are offensive towards and still be allowed to express those opinions.
But do you feel free speech is genuinely under attack in the one case, and genuinely not in another?

Does a person or institution have to be literally owned lock, stock and barrel by the public to act in a public capacity?
> Urban areas are more efficient for almost all resources.

People say this all the time. If it's true, why is the cost of living in an urban area almost always higher than in a rural area?
Gender is an entirely social construct. You and the earlier commenters are using the word “gender” when you mean “sex.”

Do you think that Stallman's life was ruined. I, and I guess lots of people, will still highly value his contributions. But at the same time I think his comments warranted moving on and passing the torch of leadership of the FSF. It is very different to work as a regular software engineer or individual contributor, than as the figurehead of a foundation. I wonder if he will still get invitations to be a speaker, and if he does, if he will be willing to do it, at least for a time.

Minksy DIDN'T had the sex.

A woman, that at the time was 17, said Epstein told her to OFFER sex to Minsky.

And another person that was present, Greg Benford, said that Minsky refused the offer.

Nowhere was stated that sex happened.

Urban areas are more efficient for almost all resources.

I don’t think this is true. If urban areas were more efficient than rural areas, it would be cheaper to live in an urban area.

Urban areas are generally inefficient for resources because you have bottlenecks on available space. Anything that requires physical space to do can be done more efficiently in a less urban area. This includes obvious things like raising children, but also includes any sort of minimum wage services, which are more efficiently provided in rural areas.

The main thing which is more efficient in an urban area is assembling a large well-paid professional workforce. I think if remote work became possible for a larger set of companies it has the potential to transform rural America.
