> "It’s still not clear that companies would be interested in such a contract. When Stenberg asked the company that needed him to fly to a different country to troubleshoot their problem to pay for one, they refused."

The irony is, in not paying directly for suppirt they are paying indirectly with risk. Risk to product. Risk to brand. And perhaps in sone cases risk to life.

It seems to me a new licence is in order. One that distinguishs from small fries and big fish. And big fish that refuse to be good citizens of a given (product) community should be outed and shamed for their lack of cooperation.

Extreme? Sure. But sometimes fairness and justice require such guidance.

I have so many questions about China.

1) What does this mean for Xi's leadership and the CCP? Will this threaten their power?

2) Does this cement the US as the leading economy for the next quarter century?

3) What does this mean for up and coming rivals, such as India and Vietnam?

4) How will this effect China's middle class?

5) Will we see an increase in Chinese expats?

This is the real answer. If running a service requires paying people to look at awful, damaging material—stop running the service. It shouldn't exist. It doesn't need to. Absent things like Twitter and Facebook we'd find other ways to keep in touch with people who matter. Special Email clients that do most of the friends & family stuff that FB does but over email or whatever. Some new protocol. Progress on that kind of stuff only stalled because we've got the spyvertising- or VC-funded, moderator-harming services to compete with. Take those away and the void will be filled, with hardly a hiccup.

"Well gee whiz we just can't run our service without doing this to our moderators, so I guess we have to"—no, you don't, period, at all. You can stop running your service, or live with hurting people and stop acting like you care.
The other question is if the reported 6% is actually true, lots of incentive for regional leadership to make sure they "hit" their number.
Or maybe they both value something higher then free speech when push comes to shove. For the far left its equality and protections of the vulnerable. For the far right is race, country, tradition and religion. So that seems like a pretty big difference actually.
I would highly recomment David Duvenaud's PhD thesis [1] for anybody interested in Gaussian Processes. I find his chapter [2] on expressing structure with kernels super interesting and quite intuitive. It's also one of the PhD theses with the best-looking graphics I've read!

What would the world look like if all volunteering stopped? Would society have reached the point it is today? Volunteer encompasses all kinds of areas, including software and research. It can be argued that some segments would be covered by for-profit organizations, but decisions in this area is often driven by the return on investment (ROI). This means that some solutions would likely be paid or not pass the potential ROI test. If it became paid, it would likely be a barriers of entries to a lot of people, leading to slower integration and growth of the platform, software, etc.

To be somewhat pedantic here (though not really, because this is an important distinction and its important not to mislabel people or their actions in these kinds of matters)... pedophilia is a sexual attraction oriented at pre-pubescent children (think Michael Jackson).

All acts of pedophilia would be statutory rape, but not all statutory rape would be acts of pedophilia. If the minor isn't a pre-pubescent child, it really isn't pedophilia.
There is more to free speech than what the law says about it. No one here as far as I can see argues that forcing RMS out is illegal. People argue for the principle that you should be able to express your views without fear of losing your livelihood. The problem is that there is no universally trusted authority on what is and what isn't acceptable speech. I find what RMS said to be less outrageous than what I regularly hear from politicians in recent presidential debates. Does it mean I should start firing employees expressing those views because of "consequences" or "freedom of association"? It would lead to a tribal world where you either walk the exact line of your institution/employer/group or you're out possibly with grave consequences for your financial and family situation.

In my country it's illegal to fire people for their political views even if the employer finds them immoral and incompatible with the culture they want to foster. It's part of legal and social framework to protect freedom of expression. Freedom of expression neither starts nor end with what The Constitution says about it.

Consumption of resources and cost are only weakly correlated. Urban areas are expensive because people want to live there, for example because that's where the jobs and the cultural life are. There are more efficient in terms of land and energy use as well as in terms of infrastructure cost per tax payer.

My comment was that it's not completely absurd to rule out sexism because human biases have affected the gender composition of similar collections. That's pretty far from making a specific argument about how misogyny is involved.

Maybe they dont care what enlightenment philosophers and liberalism has to say, when it's such a broken ideology that had no problems with tolerating gross inequalities related to race and gender, and have found philosophers and philosophies to follow that are less tolerant of blatant evil.
Your definition of 'wrong' is certainly agreeable but not exactly relevant in this situation. Yes, technically RMS was just being nitpicky, but in the context it doesn't matter. The comment was inappropriate and any person in RMS's place has to understand that because of their high profile everything they say/do can and will be used against them. Those are the rules of the game (public relations), and if you don't play the game (like RMS), the game will play you.
These are all examples of pretty amateur mistakes. This reads more like an argument for keeping senior devs on the payroll than a warning about not using a framework.

Funny that you evoke misogyny at this point, given how RMS is primarily a godawful human being to women, the vast majority of which your comment is ignorant of, willfully or otherwise.

This has been his godawful personality and behaviour at MIT for decades. It hasn't gone unreported. It hasn't gone unnoticed. But few appear to have ever acted on it appropriately, and the appropriate action here is removing him from any and all communities where he can do damage. It's occurring years too late, but at least it's occurring. It's sad that it took his association with a worldwide pedophilia/human trafficking ring to accomplish this, given his decades of ghastly abuse of peers/colleagues/students.

Even more sad that after this association has been revealed, communities like this one are significantly in self-defense mode.

If your response to this story is to get defensive, or to use keywords like "free speech," you have questions you need to ask yourself. Very serious questions. Questions that I guarantee your various communities want answers to before you engage with them further.

A friend of mine had a graphical resume she made in Illustrator and it inspired me to learn Illustrator myself and make this:

https://penguindreams.org/files/2018-SumitKhanna-Resume.pdf

I like it, and it's got me some good roles (probably also kept me from some roles as I'm sure some threw it in the trash thinking it smelled of marketing rubbish; but I still like it so whateves), but it's also a pain to update.

I looked at adapting HackMyResume (listed in the comments) and got somethings into the standard JSON format, but I wanted to keep my timeline and getting it to work programmatically was way more difficult than I thought. Someone provided this answer on StackExchange for Laytex, but I never got things to lineup correctly and sorta gave up:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/183046/how-do-i-deve...

Every time I think about doing it programmatically, I start down a path, get frustrated and realize I need something now, and end up just updating the old one in Illustrator. I hesitate to use a tool like this since mine looks unique and don't want anyone to recognize it comes from a standard template. It's still pretty neat though and I like the idea of allowing a preview with a watermark as a means to attempt to monetize it.
The cost of living has very little to do with the true cost of you living there. In the city, people are willing to pay for convenience, so you can sit in the middle of the transaction and use the added efficiency to increase your profit margin. People that own real estate in a major city are probably making a pretty good return on their investment.

Why would someone pay for convenience? Probably because it's the only affordable way to buy more time. You could pay someone to do your errands for you while you commute. You could fly a helicopter to work everyday instead of driving. Those things are way more expensive than just living in a smaller apartment closer to everything, though. That is what sets the upper bound on how much profit can be extracted from real-estate. If teleportation existed, I'm guessing a lot of urban landlords would lose a lot of money. But it doesn't.

Meanwhile, the suburbs are intrinsically less efficient, but subsidized from the urban revenues. Think about the laws that require phone companies to provide service to rural areas, or the USPS to deliver mail to rural areas, or your taxes buying roads to those rural areas. You, the city dweller, are paying for all of those things.

The TL;DR is that efficiency is not related to the price you pay to live somewhere. It's much more complicated.
> Does that mean that when you're flying an X15 you lose 6.2/22 = 28% of your bodyweight to the Coriolis force?

I think you mean centrifugal force. Unfortunately, no, you don't feel quite that much less weight, because centrifugal force goes like the square of the velocity, so the ratio is the square of 6.2/22, or about 0.08, i.e., only 8%.
It's true that the money is not coming from the Mozilla Foundation, but as Coil is trusting the foundation with 100 M$ to make good use, the foundation could have asked 'hey, how about some money (from the 100 M$ or not) for our software, since it's what we are primarily known for?'

totally unrelated but is there an opportunity or reason to tow a load to space via cable behind a "rocket tractor-trailer" instead of rockets pushing from behind? Maybe the tractor is a quadcopter or octocopter but rockets instead of electric props. Rocket engines would need to aim their exhaust plumes outward slightly to avoid melting the tow cable, but it would seem like a tow cable could provide some level of suspension (stretch) to the load, reduce structural requirements since materials dont require stiffness in tension. Maybe there is no benefit compared to just pushing the load as is traditional.

Commercial solar is more expensive than solar in a field or utility scale solar. The lowest costs for solar you see quoted in the press will always be for large-scale utility solar installations that are ground mounted.

Anytime you put the solar panels on a rooftop, the price goes up. That said, putting an installation on a commercial property with a large, flat roof allows for lower prices when compared to residential rooftop solar.
Small correction: you don't need to be an American "citizen" to be affected; it suffices to have credit history in the US (e.g. permanent residents, etc).
This is one of those cases where Reddit > HN

"Context: In a recently unsealed deposition a woman testified that, at the age of 17, Epstein told her to have sex with Marvin Minsky. Minsky was a founder of the MIT Media Lab and pioneer in A.I. who died in 2016. Stallman argued on a mailing list (in response to a statement from a protest organizer accusing Minsky of sexual assault) that, while he condemned Epstein, Minsky likely did not know she was being coerced:

> We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her to conceal that from most of his associates.

Some SJW responded by writing a Medium post called "Remove Richard Stallman". Media outlets like Vice and The Daily Beast then lied and misquoted Stallman as saying that the woman was likely "entirely willing" and as "defending Epstein". He has now been pressured to resign from MIT

Furthermore the deposition doesn't say she had sex with Minsky, only that Epstein told her to do so, and according to physicist Greg Benford she propositioned Minsky and he turned her down:

> I know; I was there. Minsky turned her down. Told me about it. She saw us talking and didn’t approach me.

This seems like a complete validation of the distinction Stallman was making. If what Minsky knew doesn't matter, if there's no difference between "Minsky sexually assaulted a woman" and "Epstein told a 17-year-old to have sex with Minsky without his knowledge or consent", then why did he turn her down?

Edit: He has also resigned from the Free Software Foundation, which he founded. Grim news for free software, since I think true-believing purists like Stallman are vital to prevent various kinds of co-option."

Front-end development vs. back-end development: What’s the difference?
Definitely! There's only so much room to maneuver on resume layouts as it is.

One of the, if no THE, most important things I found was the machine readability of a resume. We could build generators that spit beautiful resumes all day but they wouldn't ever get in front of a human to care.
Fair point, although I think that is a function of society becoming less formal. For instance, much of the lingo in the trades (historically less formal) is purposely slightly vulgar. For example, first thing that comes to mind is male/female terminology for things like sockets & connectors. The terminology only makes sense if one considers it in a vulgar context, and it isn't a recent usage (I've seen repair manuals from the early 20s that use this terminology).

What may make it seem to be changing is that society (or more particularly, white-collar workers & pop culture) has gotten far less formal than it used to be. Even non-tech companies are moving away from suits as required office attire, the only professionals I know personally who still wear suits to the office are lawyers or in the financial industry (which have always had a conservative, slow to change reputation).

Edit: typos & formatting
