And corruption actually happens.

My Dell has an Sk Hynix NVMe drive that apparently doesn't have safe write on power failure. I know because it somehow woke up in my bag and ran the laptop battery down to 0.

BTRFS was not happy with the state of anything on the drive. I was able to do a rescue copy and verify it with my backups, so after a full restore everything turned out OK.
He changed his opinions regarding this, just because he keeps all of his posts online forever shouldn't mean he should be represented by those when people need to write a hit piece for clicks.
> It's weird to me that being considered a "defender of X" could even be a bad thing. That's the process by which we collectively make decisions, it's the basis behind stuff like fair trials for example; the lawyer acting for a defendant is not a bad person.

Except that in fair trials we have the concept of stare decisis, that once something has been decided, it's been decided. We very intentionally do not have the courtroom try to reason something out from first principles every time. We do not defend each person who runs a red light by saying, is it actually bad to run a red light. The cases which do overturn existing legal or social precedent are rare, carefully picked by the lawyers to be as sympathetic as possible (cf. Rosa Parks), and carefully timed to line up with sufficient hope of social consensus having changed around the law.

While it is absolutely your right to say "What if this bad thing is not actually bad," to do so without presenting a novel argument about it, and especially to do so for the sake of being contrarian, is not how we make decisions. You should look at the strongest arguments on both sides. You should privately take the opposing side and then see if you can knock it down.

The arguments Stallman presented were hardly arguments and were not novel at all. They're arguments that have occurred to the people he's arguing against, already. If he wants to seek the truth and not just advocate a side, he could have and should have figured that out. I still believe in his right to free speech (in the sense that I would defend his freedom to speak without government coercion), but I don't think he made a contribution to the discourse that's worth defending at a social level.
> There’s no record of Eich discriminating against gay employees—“I never saw any kind of behavior or attitude from him that was not in line with Mozilla’s values of inclusiveness,” says the company’s chairwoman.

Somewhat off-topic, but is donating to groups opposing the human rights of minority groups seriously considered "in line with Mozilla’s values of inclusiveness"?
You're welcome.

It just felt like it needed to be said.
I don't think the eink part of it has issues with yields since it's essentially just conductive ink and a suspension of particles, but the fancy transparent transistors they sometimes use certainly do. The real issue with eink is the economies of scale will probably never kick in. Most people would rather have a color screen, or a screen that exceeds 10fps, or something that doesn't have artifacts like an etch a sketch, etc. There's only 1 oem for the entire eink panel market (over 6") last I checked.

As someone married to someone with chronic pain... Opioid pain killers tend to be ineffective anyways - they will provide a window of pain killing that is longer than other substances (when taken within safe limits) on the order of months but their efficacy is not unlimited and even being willing to heavily addict yourself to Oxy is likely going to cease helping your pain after half a year. This is part of the cause of this epidemic, people were _entirely falsely_ prescribed an ineffective medication that has heavy side effects.

My spouse managed to get a medical supply of mj and that has helped her get back into life, given her pain source is from arthritis and a few other issues it'll probably never be a thing she'll be without but the few studies out there on mj have a positive view of long term pain treatment on it.

Chronic pain is a very serious condition that can ruin lives, it is extremely disgusting to see what has happened with Oxy and heavier penalties are needed.
If this were true, aquifers wouldn’t be falling worldwide. Some of the water will make its way back into the aquifer. Most of it will evaporate, eventually raining down into an ocean or onto a watershed that drains into an ocean.
To clarify, I mean for audio.

For MIDI it works well enough most of the time. I think note-on/off messages are 3 or 4 bytes, though, which is quite a bit less of a chunk to buffer and verify or whatever Bluetooth does
Unless Epstein gave money to FSF, there will be no public outcry. Most people had never heard of Stallman until Epstein and MIT.
In the last days of my time spent in the XML salt mines, I got in on a conversation with the web masters at w3.org.

You would not believe how many people and how many libraries pull from primary sources directly instead of using local copies of common resources. I found this conversation because I'd just finished fixing that in our code and taking about 5 minutes off the build process.

Let me restate that: We were spending 5 minutes just downloading schema files. In an automated build. Every time, sometimes on several machines at once.

At one point we were trying to convince him that intentionally slowing all requests down by say 500 ms would get the attention of people who were misbehaving. Anyone who was downloading it once and caching would hardly notice the 500 ms. Those running it once per task would be forced to figure their shit out.
I disagree. After a certain amount of the pop. gets certain degrees, it’s just a cheapening of the degree. For example, despite having an eng PhD from a top 10 (5?) university in the US, I know I wouldn’t have been awarded one from a top 100 50 years ago. The standards were higher

And you don’t cheapen what you treasure.
it happened in my system in last boot, dmesg says dbus-daemon tried (twice!) to read urandom before its seeded,
and the next message (same second, about 200ms) is about urandom has been seeded, it is a race condition!
It's interesting, becusee I moved from FTTC getting 100/40 to HFC and still getting 100/40.

Each technology has their own hardware faults though, and I've witnessed both. But as a user of the service, I'm actually surprised how decent HFC has been working.

My parents of FTTN get about 50/20,which is what I expect a lot of users on these lines would only be able to access. But the sheer cost of using a NBN over 4G makes it a lot easier to sell, data sims are not cheap
I'd use my unlimited funds to go to school and eventually be able to land a position working on a team pursuing Space Exploration and what not.

Eich is Catholic, his faith does not believe in gay marriage. He donated to a charity that was against gay marriage on the ballots. Because of that he was forced to resign.
How do you reconcile

(a) your implication that Stallman is flip-flopping due to public pressure

with

(b) Stallman's lifetime as a Diogenean polemic who has been shown to stand by his beliefs, no matter how unpopular?
That is a valid counter-argument, intellectual debate would be posting it rather than silently down voting.

As of my post no one has responded anywhere with it. They have however downvoted ceejayoz although the votes now seem to have become net positive again.
I'm skeptical of the number of 500+ MB files the CloudFlare CDN would actually cache...

>Honestly, I’m happy to live in a future where bankrolling the denial of other’s human rights is something that can cost you your job, even if you’re wealthy and powerful.

Sounds great when it's working for you. How about in reverse? Are you fine with CEOs firing employees that don't follow their preferred political affiliation/positions? Just to make it interesting let's say it's pro-deregulation, anti-union, anti-welfare, anti-minority rights, and pro guns.
Great program, I hope it will help overcome the huge problems we know the current "centralized" model has.
Also ironic asking for donations on a post about giving away $100,000,000.

While I don’t know the exact numbers for 5G, those numbers are way way way off (on the high side) for 4G and I highly suspect are more than an order of magnitude on 5G, if not more.

Stallman participated in an online discussion of the situation in which he condemned Epstein, but questioned whether or not Minsky had done wrong. It was not clear whether Minsky was aware that the woman had been coerced into having sex with him. There was a reply on the thread which said that the woman was under the age of consent in the country where the act was said to have taken place (but not in the US, I guess). Stallman further replied that in general (but not not necessarily specifically about this case) he felt it wasn't reasonable to quibble about that kind of technicality when discussing the morality of the situation (i.e. it would have been legal in one place, but not another). After that, there were pieces written by various web media outlets where they mis-quoted Stallman, alleging that he said things which he does not seem to have said.

So I think the OP is wondering out loud why it's not OK for Stallman to have a public opinion about the morality of the situation where it is apparently OK in one country, but if you go on holiday to another country it is rape.

The OP did not mention Epstein at all and it's not related to the discussion in any way. The problem is that the media has been waging a kind of character assassination of Stallman and quite frankly appears to have slandered him rather badly.

However, to answer the OP's musings: Stallman should know better than to get pulled into this kind of conversation because he has many political opponents who will stop at nothing to drag his name in the mud. He was completely stupid to respond at all. Maybe it's not fair, but it's reality.
Obviously Western Europe and the US have achieved more on a per capita basis given they are areas where the Scientific Revolution and industrialization occurred. I would say intellectual achievements is driven by the number upper-middle class individuals instead of the entire population.

Rough guess of share of present day intellectual production by country (I like to make stuff up):

US: 30%
Western Europe: 30%
China: 15%
Japan: 5%
India: 5%
CIS countries: 5%
> government regulations are designed for large companies.

So a publicly traded company with 25B in market cap and member of Russell 1000 index is a 'small company'?
Your point may be going over my head, but can you elaborate (re-elaborate?) on the connection between intellectual-friendly culture and the quality of street musicians?
Square is a 10 year old public company with a 25B market cap. Hard to call them a startup.

Would you have done something different? It's business as usual.
This is a quote from an interview, where Norman Finkelstein discusses the subject of thought policing.

"What he should have done was in my opinion deliver one policy speech. 'This is where we stand on antisemitism. This is where we stand on the mechanisms for dealing with antisemitism in our party. Case closed.' The other major mistake he made was .. a complete abandonment of the principle of free speech. People have a right to say and think whatever they want. 'I'm a member of the Labour Party. OK. I subscribe to Labour Party's political platform. That's what makes me a member.' But that doesn't mean you have the right to troll my Facebook postings, you have the right to vet everything I say or post on Instagram. I mean that's Romania under Ceausescu, that's North Korea under Kim Il Sung. That's now going to be the mandate of the Labour Party? To be trolling in your thoughts and ideas? To see whether you are an antisemite? Everybody, including you, including your camera people harbors some antisemitic stereotypes... OK. Who cares? I mean It's very hard to extirpate, ... because it's rooted in thousands of years. I mean it's everywhere. It's part of the atmosphere, it's part of the environment, it's part of the history. Do I not harbor any anti-black stereotypes any racist stereotypes? Do I harbor no sexist stereotypes? No! And now we are going to have a Labour Party, which is going to [?] the depths of your conscience, ... looking for some evidence of antisemitism, ...? It's complete lunacy and it's a complete repudiation, abandonment of the most fundamental principles of what's called the Enlightenment beginning with as the Germans put it in that nice German folk song Die Gedanken sind Frei (Thoughts are free). People have the right to think what they believe, and since thought is inseparable from speech, you have the right to think and speak as you please. And if you don't like what a person is saying then you have the right either not to listen or try to persuade the person ... but what you don't have the right to do is penalize people, punish people, expel people for their thoughts... It's a complete political disaster because all it does is it forces people to repress what they're thinking until a demagogue comes along and starts saying what you're thinking, what you were forced to repress. And instead of your erroneous thoughts having been answered, the fact that you were forced to repress them, it validates it for you. ... And then the demagogue comes along and starts to exploit all of those repressed thoughts. So morally it's unacceptable to try to police people's thoughts and politically it's a complete disaster." https://youtu.be/OPYfLY2cAi4?t=616

Also, and more importantly, fuck those drug reps - and if they were ignorant then fuck our society that has come to accept CYOAism so widely. It is your job as an employee to be aware of the effects your labour is having on others - if you're working in a paper mill that is dumping chemicals into a river it's not enough to hope folks downstream don't get sick.
His statements aren't merely socially unappropriated, they are grossly logically incorrect.
I'm really hesitant to wade into this. I think resigning was the right move for Stallman.

What he actually said, without Vice editing the quote, is:

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.

From the email thread reproduced in its entirety by Vice at https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6405929-091320191420....

In my estimation, there's a big difference between Vice's framing of "Stallman said she was 'entirely willing'" and the full quote above. There are, of course, other poor comments in that thread.

EDIT -- I mention Vice specifically, because their article (which I'd read earlier) has similar phrasing to the wording used here (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbm74x/computer-scientist... -- "Stallman said the “most plausible scenario” is that one of Epstein’s underage victims was “entirely willing.”"), and I'd thought the quote that codesushi used was from that publication. On double checking, it might be unfair to single that publication out for the given quote.

I can't see this being true for IoT/M2M either, sorry. There are a couple of small MVNOs on Vodafone but nothing that would bridge the gap between them and the other players.

_Maybe_ they have a good share of multinational contracts from their parent company, that is the only area I can see this statement being true.

Vodafone are doing some work with NB-IoT but the general market for this are metro utility companies - the coverage doesn't exist out of these areas to be taken seriously for a nationwide fleet.

I would put good money on the number of payment card terminals and power meters alone on Telstra being bigger than Vodafone AU's entire M2M business.

In general yes, but he has some pedophilic tendencies in his writings.
The problem here is that your quotation is wrong or misleading. The words you omitted do matter and do change the sense of it. Here is the actual paragraph:

"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."

Say what you will about the inappropriateness of RMS's conduct or speech or timing, but you should not try to persuade people by misquoting him.
I can deploy a Docker-based node backend with basic functionality from my phone's ssh client in five minutes.

Give me a bit more time, a keyboard and I could build you any API endpoint, http server, glue code between DB or even low level proxy server functionalities.

No offense but isn't the 'problem' backend solved years ago?
I understand, ok. And what where the actual role of Stallman in this laboratory?

Updated: explained below, answering to mail lists. Resigning does not seem like a big deal.
Discussion of this article and the article itself are mixing issues:
1) differing taxes in SF between tech and banks. This is a difference of a few basis points in taxes. Square doesn't want to be taxed as a bank here. This will cost them a few tens of millions.

2) A new gross receipts tax which disproportionately impacts Square and Stripe [1]. It's more than a matter of "low margins" in this business, it's the very core of how revenue works[2] for Square/Stripe. Those companies take their 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (https://stripe.com/pricing) and call that revenue. Most of that flows _immediately_ back to Visa/MC/Amex/Discover and the card issuing banks.

Treating all of that that as revenue for taxation purposes puts Stripe/Square in a very challenging position. A more "fair" approach would be to tax the portion of their fees that they kept before any other expenses.

As Yonran points out, this whole relatively unfair situation is one of many many unfair symptoms of CA tax law. As a young person who doesn't own property but earns a relatively high income in California, I am a provider of massive and permanent subsidies to people lucky enough to have bought property before Prop 13 was passed in 1978. The real issue here is Prop 13.

Libertarians love to argue that people vote to give themselves subsidies. Mostly I hate this argument, because of course people vote to give themselves services from governments they want. What I find abhorrent is that a group of Californians receive different treatment from the government based solely on when they bought their property. It's time to end prop 13. This article is just one tiny example of where bad policy has bad results.

>>Some of his victims were legally adult. Some were teenage minors. I don't think that makes any moral difference. I don't think rape is less wrong if the victim is over 16.

Sure, but if anyone bothers to read to the end of that sentence he says:

"I don't think that makes any moral difference. I don't think rape is less wrong if the victim is over 16."

He's not defending rape in any way shape or form, regardless of age.
