"Pseudo-addiction" is a very bad term and should never have been concocted. A more correct term would be "inadequately treated". Calling a person suffering from pain who reasonably desires relief from pain a "pseudoaddict" shifts the 'blame' and actual problem from the source of the problem (the doctor who is not adequately treating the pain) onto the patient -- like there is something wrong with the patient rather than something wrong with the doctor (inadequate skill in managing pain).

I'm a retired physician who prescribed opiates for decades and have seen how persons with inadequately controlled pain behave. This problem is created by (1) not having adequate treatment facilities and funding for such treatment for actual addicts, and (2) draconian drug laws that encourage addicts to visit physicians and pretend to have pain so they can get a high-quality safer supply of the desire of their addiction.

The problem is not 'pseudoaddiction', but rather 'pseudopain' behaviors that addicts have been trained to display. It is a glass half full vs half empty sort of problem, but using a term (pseudoaddiction) to describe a failure of medical treatment just seems perverse to me.
I think it would also help to increase the visibility of those costs. The impression I get is that a lot of people take for granted that roads just appear, for example, while the taxes for commuter rail and public transit are an imposition.
Some unintentional crimes are crimes, but many, maybe most require intent. This is called mens rea and it’s so important you’ll learn it in your high school introduction to the law course.
He was not defending Minsky, he argued that the crime (which he states he had no reason to deny) as described was not "assault".

His statement was that we should use proper names for crimes.

If I were to accuse Epstein of genocide and you reply "That is not genocide, he was a sex-trafficking pedophile that used minors as blackmailing pawns and more" would that be a defense? It does not look like a defense to me.

That's what Joe McCarthy and the House Committee for Un-American Activities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism) said to leftists, union organizers, communists, and others in the 1950s. Is that the kind of company progressives prefer to keep, intellectually speaking?

Apparently the only difference between progressives and conservatives is which sacred cows that they're willing to mob you for for insulting. Fellow liberals, I beg of you, take heed; progressives are not our friends.

>But you should not expect to be free from the consequences.

No one does. its not about not prosecuting anyone for what happened on that Island. Its about Stallmans response to the allegations against someone else. Did you respond to the wrong comment by any chance?

I can't imagine there's such substantial sexual diamorphism across all species to account for that.

How much bigger/stronger would bones need to be for this to hold true? Also, what about the variance between species? Hypothetically, would that then go Male Large Dino > Female Large Dino > Male Medium Dino > Female Medium Dino...? We'd expect to see more females of large dinos than any medium males in that case.
The main issue with Brave's funding model is that it relies on consumer goodwill. While people might be willing to spend $0.02 to read a news article, they're less likely to allocate $10/month to funding online content creators "just because". There has to be some sort of incentive for most people to spend their money; if they can get the same experience for free, only a small minority will ever bother to pay.

So the question is, how do you provide consumers with such an incentive without charging for the content itself (as that can be problematic for the reason you mentioned), without offering "an ad-free experience" for paid users (as Brave blocks ads by default regardless of whether users pay or not), and without requiring users to incur the mental load of trying to decide whether the paid experience is worth it over the free one?

A difficult problem to say the least.
This is probably the most important message that any of us could be communicating to the Cancel Culture crew.

This is just patently false. Petty theft criminals pick targets based on opportunity, and even the most rudimentary security precautions will steer them to more covert methods - such as avoiding security cameras altogether.
There's a lot of racial animus that compounds that - inner-city ghettos generally tend to be non-white thanks to red-lining and white-flight in the past, and the present disdain for "welfare queens" in the political zeitgeist, since Reagan.
In a bit of fairness, I actually emailed Stallman about this a couple years ago and he's a bit more nuanced if you press him on individual things.

For example, I asked him about an app that I was working on, where we were doing things with a BSD license (since the thing we released was proprietary but the core was open-source), and he suggested that we instead re-license it as GPL but with an proprietary exception for only our app.
What about a harmful one? What if the CEO of a company went around the office telling anyone that’ll listen about how women are just dumber than men and really they should stay in the kitchen. I sure hope there would be consequences.
"How is it we value free speech, but there are certain discussions you just cannot have, even in a rational and measured way, without risking making yourself completely unemployable. You should be able to have a questionable viewpoint in a discussion, without worrying about the lynch mob ending your career."

I agree with this statement.

Stallman has been a problematic person for a long time. I'm no fan of his. If after a while the university had said, "Enough is enough, Richard, you need to shape up or get out." I would have understood that.

However, that's not what I think happened. What happened was he shared an opinion on a hot-button issue, pedantic and maybe gross, and unfortunately had that go viral and was so hounded out of his position.

If Stallman's position is wrong, we should be able to rationally come to that conclusion as a society. He should be allowed to be wrong. If his opinion is so problematic that it makes him a real liability for the university, his removal should come after a period of deliberation, not after a flash of public outrage.

I can understand arguments that Stallman's position is a questionable hill to die on regarding the Epstein revelations, that even choosing to weigh in on this makes it seem like his priorities are out of order. I can also understand the argument that the email list he was arguing on was the wrong location to voice his opinions and he was making students uncomfortable. I also understand the idea that he should have been corrected by the university, either for this event or for his past behavior.

But what I don't understand, is this idea that firing people in response to media shit-storms is somehow something to be applauded.

The article mentions 25% of fossils are female. Females would need 75% less bone mass to account for that.
First of all: sexual assault has nothing to do with either Stallman or Linus!

Secondly: their strong leadership brought us an hacker community devoted to the product and correctness of the result, regardless of their personality, as technical leader they excelled and when they went over the line it was for the benefit of the community, never for their ego.

Now we have weaker leadership, attention has moved from being right to being popular, salaries are valued more than technical skills, corporations have infiltrated open source communities changing the meaning of `free` in free software from "free as in free speech" to "free as in free beer" and we ended up with package managers that install trojans or display ads.

If NPM leadership was made by pedantic, ruvid, sometimes assholes, the like of Linus and RMS, this would have never happened.

Depends on context. African have genes which make them physically superior. They're generally bigger, stronger, faster etc. Just not smarter. Climate did affect this. If you don't live in a country with cold winters, evolution cannot select people with the foresight to prepare for winter. In a harsh winter, thousands of years ago, people that couldn't prepare for a period where food would be scarce would have bad survival prospects.
Learn to program in 4 months, to a degree yes.

Become employable as a programmer in 4 months? No. That is not enough time to learn the fundamentals, and become fluent in any programming language. When I hire I want to know what a candidate has done and can do on day 1. New university graduates have spent at least 2 years coding, and have difficulty demonstrating experience.

But the same is true for _any_ professional endeavor. Skill takes time to develop, as does a portfolio of accomplishments.

There are well known, widely applied design protections that are not patents.

Here's the EU's:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_design_rights_in_th...

Which protects "the appearance of the whole or a part of a product resulting from the features of, in particular, the lines, contours, colours, shape, texture and/or materials of the product itself and/or its ornamentation". It applies if they are novel and/or if they have unique character.
I am confused because I have read said publicly available documents myself and I was unable to find any instance of sexism by Stallman in them.
In a world with such high climate sensitivity, is there still a realistic pathway to an acceptable outcome? SSP1 2.6 was already highly optimistic and with these two new models even it doesn't keep us below 2 degrees.
> 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.

That's not the point, and not actually correct. [1] explains a lot of this. Getting to low earth orbit means you have to climb 100km, and go really fast. The climbing 100km part of this is easy - the going really fast bit is what makes going to space so expensive.

With this proposal, there will be a tether hanging down at the height of geostationary orbit which is travelling slowly around the earth - about 28 times slower than the orbital speed at that altitude. So, the elevator makes getting to the Moon cheaper by two mechanisms. Firstly, it means that a rocket just needs to get to geostationary orbit height, without having to do the speed bit as well. Secondly, you have a space elevator to get you the rest of the way.

Now, admittedly, geostationary height is much higher than low earth orbit, so the saving of not having to build up speed is not as extreme as if the tether hung lower. Geostationary orbit has a speed of 3.07km/s, so if you only have to go 1/28th of that, you are saving nearly 3km/s of delta-v on your rocket. This is not to be sniffed at.

The size of the rocket required to transport a set payload is exponential with the required delta-v, with a logarithmic base of the exhaust velocity of the rocket. So, if we can save 3km/s, and a decent rocket motor has an exhaust velocity near 3km/s, then the size of the rocket can go down by a factor of about e. This is a very nice saving.

One could extend the analogy, if one were to consider a slightly longer tether, and imagine we can get it to hang down to an altitude of 100km without hitting any satellites, then it would be travelling across the sky at around 60km/h. You could use a very small rocket indeed to climb up 100km, grab onto the end, and then go all the way to the moon. At a push, the X15 rocket-plane, plus some decent guidance system could manage it.

AWS vs. Google Cloud: Which Is Better?
Like most such questions, the answer is both yes and no. You can learn the rules of Go, and how to play the game, in an hour. However, it can and does take many years to play it effectively and competently. Programming is the same way. I have been programming since I was 10 (starting on CBasic and Common Lisp), 40 years ago, and am amazed at how much there is to learn still. Start gradually, make a commitment to it over a long haul of years, and do deliberate practice every day making real things rather than coding problems. Contribute to Open Source projects, as working on a team will teach you much more than working by yourself.

Did they really?

My interpretation:

You think people are criticizing Stallman because you think they misread his statement (She wanted it anyway)

I think people are criticizing Stallman because he believed Minsky was tricked (She didn't want but people made here act like it), which sounds dubious to me.
It would help a lot of you stopped projecting your own feelings on the subject onto Minsky.
That theory is excluded earlier in the article: If you’re lucky enough to have a whole bone, such as a skull, the size, shape, and dimensions might differ between male and female. In the case of fragments, researchers might have to dig into DNA

If obvious differences are very rare ("very lucky") then the bias can not come from collectors.
Stallman is facing consequences that are not part of the law. This citation of different legal standards provides evidence that extra-legal action was inappropriate.

You might want to check where you're standing. SJW is common slang, used by the right, the center, independents, and the moderate left to describe a particular subset of the far left. As an anecdote, a girl I recently met told me (unsolicited, I hadn't use the word yet, but we were talking around politics) "I'm fairly liberal but I can't stand SJWs." Ironically, you did in your comment exactly what you said the parent was doing - inadvertently demonstrated that your views are very far from the mainstream in a way that harms your own credibility.

I want everyone to understand the medium his comments were made in.

This was not just a "work forum", it was a mailing list containing thousands of people in the MIT computer science community, including professors, researchers, administrative assistants, graduate students, and hundreds of undergraduates.

This isn't just a matter of his comments being inappropriate, it's also about him arguing them in an effectively public forum.
You learn by discussing.
The media coverage I found of this was actually very well sourced with references to other articles and ultimately the original email thread in question.

The analysis and statements in the articles were often ridiculous and had little connection to the original material (even the article publishing that material) other than exaggerating someone else's article in a perverse game of telephone.

Crossrail is an incredible achievement by the British. $22 billion to build 26 miles of new track on a 73-mile train line, through some of the most expensive real estate in the world, including 13 miles of tunnels underneath downtown London. And delivered only two years late.

By contrast, New York’s second avenue subway will easily exceed Crossrail’s $22 billion cost, if it’s ever finished. For that price New Yorkers will get just 8.5 miles of downtown tunnels (versus Crossrail’s 13). And they won’t get the additional dozen or so miles of new above ground commuter railroad that Crossrail has managed to build for that price. Moreover, Crossrail started somewhat later (2009 versus 2007), but will be done by 2020, while New York will take until 2027-29 just to finish the first two phases totaling 3.5 miles. The remaining 5 miles may never be completed at this rate.

EDIT: As 'pcwalton correctly pointed out, about 2/3 of Crossrail's suburban rail was pre-existing, so my per-mile cost for Crossrail was too low. It's difficult to calculate the per-mile cost of new Crossrail track, because part of the $22 billion budget involves upgrades to the 45-miles or so of existing track and stations. But even assuming all that cost nothing, it's about $850 million per mile to build the new segments through downtown London. The Maryland Purple Line, by contrast, is $350 million per mile to build light rail on existing city streets through suburban Maryland. And the DC Silver Line is about $300 million per mile to build heavy rail on existing, reserved freeway medians through suburban and exurban Virginia.
Not just California. That's a national issue.

This article misses some steps...

Just because a male might be likely to go do something risky and die young, that wouldn't explain more male fossils. After all, the female that didn't do something risky will also die. All things die.

Are they trying to claim that females who die are less likley to turn into fossils, perhaps because of the locations the deaths occurred in?

> He does not deserve the same level of consideration as normal HR headache would. Even if everything against him would be completely unjust, there is no requirement for just treatment for top leaders. They can be sacked for any reason whatsoever.

I'm not sure if the situation has changed, but it used to be that co-mingling was exclusively an aspect/option of FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon). They did not co-mingle their own inventory, so you could still be somewhat confident in purchasing products with Amazon as the seller of record, i.e. "Sold by Amazon".

I can't find anything to confirm or deny if this is still the case, but I haven't had any issues personally when sticking with products where Amazon is the seller of record. Although I have noticed the pricing and shipping time tend to be less competitive (I presumed because they don't access co-mingled inventory that's at a closer fulfillment center).
The real issue is that inversion / solving is O(n^3).

This really hammers you for high dimensional settings (e.g. brain imaging n>100k).

Solutions:

* Pick a very special kernel with an known / approximable solution.

* Reduce the dimension of the problem (sparse gps).
> Just to be clear: this means useful for developers who need to build programs to run on Windows, but can scarcely imagine developing on it. They treat it as a huge embedded system.

I'm not just talking about people who don't want to run Windows, I'm talking about things like CI infrastructure. Much easier to automate cross-building everything from one platform with one set of tools.
Ah yes, the new term for "consequences"
Yes, and I'm arguing that a rational mature society should be capable of allowing people to express their opinions and then engaging with them if their opinion is perceived as wrong or incorrect. If, after a reasonable discussion in which everyone is able to clarify their thoughts and opinions, they are still deemed to be too extreme (and I mean genuinely extreme, not simply contrarian) then they can cut ties.

But that isn't what is happening. There is no reasonable discussion. There isn't even any attempt to understand the complexity and nuance of a situation. It's simply: you're gone. It's mob politics 101 and anyone familiar with political history has seen it time and time again.

The main consequence of this mentality will be that organizations like MIT will be filled with yes-men/women and those that toe the intellectual line. And subsequently the real losers will be society and MIT.

I don't understand the argument. All mammoths die.
Stallman's controversial opinions stood for ages when they were hypothetical.

But at this moment in time, they've intersected with the real-world activities of organizations that he has considerable influence over. He seems to have prioritized theoretical point-making over the organizational necessity of addressing people's concerns.

Running things and debating things are two different activities, and for Stallman those things are currently in conflict. Maybe he's tempermentally incapable of dealing with conflicting imperatives; in any case he seems to have taken the absolute route to resignation.
