Thanks. I guess it depends on what information each one presents on their resume then, but I see your point.
>As for 17, as someone in my 40's, I couldn't tell you the difference between someone who is 17, and someone who is 18, without them telling me or asking to look at their (hopefully non-forged) ID. If she lied (under coersion from Epstein), how could anyone have been able to tell?

I've seen this same argument like 4-5 times now in this thread.

I agree, being able to tell the difference between 17 and 18 is difficult, however a line must be drawn and it seems that 18 is that line.

If a girl is 18 years and 1 day old, vs a girl who is 17 and 364, is there a big difference? No, however that is where society has drawn this line.

If you use the argument 18 looks like 17, then eventually people may say 17 looks like 16, 16 looks like 15 etc and is a slippery slope.

Also chances are the girls in question were most likely sex trafficked (Modern day slave trade by another name).
The age of consent in a large part of the world (including a large part of the US) is 16. In Europe it goes down to 14, with some protections from abuse over those with power over the teen (e.g. teachers).

Some(?) European countries do legally differentiate between children and teens and that seems reasonable bases on what we know about biological and developmental differences.

I also regrettably used "child sex abuse" inaccurately before when referring to Epstein. This reflects the legal status in the US I believe, but paints the wrong picture of actual children instead of teens being harmed. It pays to be accurate, because discussions around this topic are completely hysterical as it is.

Stallman hasn't been silenced in any way. Free speech does not mean you can say whatever you like without consequence from private institutions and citizens, only that you may say whatever you like without consequences from the government et al.

Your conflation that free speech is under attack is disappointing - That's not what is happening here.
It is entirely possible that there could be different types of neutron stars, although the same physics will describe them all. As an analogy, white dwarfs all have the same equation of state, but based on the mass of the white dwarf the electrons can either be relativistic or non-relativistic. (This is not really a true dichotomy, it's just a spectrum.) There could plausibly be something similar with neutron stars.
I was going to comment, but this sums up my thoughts as well. Agreed on pretty much every front, including the stability/performance concerns.

I will add that, while this is subjective, I also think that Gitlab has a nicer interface and is better organized. On top of everything parent mentions, there's a lot of subtle stuff like this that makes me stay.
> So before we can make any real progress on the interior of black holes we thus need to figure out exactly in what sense the event horizon leaks information, if it does.

So we need to find the Meltdown/Specter-like vulnerabilities of black holes? I wonder how many problems that would cause the universe.
I agree with your second two points 100%, though not with the first at all.

I think that Stallman's hardliner stance, while it has scared away a lot of people, has also been a good thing in a lot of regards; if nothing else, it shows that there is a position to be had in the extreme copyleft.
He demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of how the legal system works.

IMHO he is not qualified to lead FSF.
The slippery slope is a very tired argument. When people start getting fired for illegitimate reasons then I'll defend those people. The outcome of this specific situation seems rational, fair and expected. "Don't say controversial shit on the job" is a really low bar, even if what is controversial changes from time to time.

The situations seem dire, speculation of properties means you either participate or lose , there's no escape and no other choice, you can avoid it but you can't avoid the inflation and wealth gap that come with it, the people joining the frenzy are richer and richer while you are poorer and poorer.
BTW forgot to ask, in order to be able to present a resume in the way you find most relevant. Do you feel something missing that my tool might need?
Even the more complete quote is out of context. The full context was:

> 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

I've sent a comment to their "corrections" address. Newsguard gives Forbes the highest possible score. If that rating is accurate, they'll update the story.
It can be interpreted as "Rape is morally wrong", but the implied conclusion is "but this isn't rape so it's ok".
Just an FYI if you didn't know this- stackoverflow.com has something _similar_. They have the concept of a developer story with the option to link to two different web versions as well as generating a PDF for you (no frills). e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/cv/leetrout

Looks like you've definitely put more effort in to the styles and the thumbnails look nice! I would love to see a small gallery of designs!

I'm -1 on photos on resume since it opens the door to a lot of bias (unconscious or not) so I hope you offer a lot options without photos / icons.
> Do you have any insight into MSFT's strategy for GitHub?

Developers, developers, developers.

They are deeply integrating GitHub into Azure and Tfs, and integrating that with Visual Studio, creating a top-notch devops platform for you to develop for Windows or Azure.

And now with their move into Linux, they are creating an image just like the old Borland.
> That is what “defending” means: he took objection to what Minsky allegedly did being accurately characterised as assault and a crime.

That "and" is pretty disingenuous here, turning the sentence from accurate to grossly misleading. RMS took objection to the act being characterized as assault. Not as crime. And the truth is, it does matter what crime was committed, not only that a crime was (allegedly, as it turns out). It would matter to you if your deceased friend was accused posthumously that their record is at least kept accurate, if it isn't straight.
The criminal doesn't fear the policeman, nor does he fear the courts or the jails. The only effective method has been to make the criminal fear his intended victim, and the UK does just about everything in it's power to disarm the victim, making them weak, meek, and powerless.
Good public schools (or good private schools, for that matter) can be hard to come by out in the sticks, for those to whom that's important. Hard in the city, too—there's a reason so many families, even those of us who would prefer either the city or the country, end up in the 'burbs.
What’s “special” is that urban house prices doubled or tripled in ten years. I wonder what it would take to flip some of these states to Democratic.
>"Rape apologist? Wtf are you even going on about? Stallman never raped anyone afaik"

Please read and think before responding in anger. Rape apology is different than rape. For you to say "He's not a rape apologist, he never raped anyone" demonstrates basic ignorance to elementary english.

Richard Stallman apologized for rapists and excused their rapes as "not rape" several times in his emails

He described the underage victims of the most notorious American pedophile of the modern era (Epstein, who notoriously violently raped dozens of children) as "they must have consented, logically".

That's apologia. I'm sorry your emotions regarding this situation caused you to fail to read and/or struggle with basic english.

> But maybe you are the kind of person that thinks all men are rapists no matter what?

And your radical right wing politics are laid bare. Why would you knee-jerk in a programmed conservative propaganda line? Who taught you to repeat that low-effort line? It's a very common line in radical far-right youtube/reddit, for example, but very rare outside of it.

>"I am just against your kind of thinking and want to battle it at any cost, it takes just one sentence to realize the crazy you believe in."

Just wow, talk about radicalization! You're nearly radicalized to violence already. Wow. Talking about "battling" me. I guess I should avoid public places where you live, eh?

What an emotional, insulting and ultimately terribly inappropriate reply for you to write on Hacker News.
You have to defend a trademark or you can lose it. I had to assert my rights to baccarat.biz when the Baccarat crystal company tried to take it away from me. I don't blame them. But I wanted to retain the name and I prevailed in arbitration. Now I wound up not using the name (hope to someday) because (for the most part) online gaming was reserved for the brick & mortar casinos and horse racing tracks.
I've done a lot of community moderation in my life. It's been my experience that making things smaller and replacing professional moderation with volunteer moderation is rarely as effective as might be hoped for. Further, once you get past Dunbar's number (about 150), you get the semi-anonymous effect that enables abuses of social networks, much like real cities. There is also a potential wrinkle where people can easily migrate from one forum to another.

Taken together, unless you keep people from migrating from one petty dictatorship to another to find one they like, the outcome will tend towards a small number of big megalopolis-style communities and a middling number of mid-size ones.

It's not a bad idea by any means. It's essentially a mirror of an idealized pre-industrial agrarian society. There might be some wrinkles added by basic human behavior patters that could be worth considering carefully is all.
We just saw Tumblr try that and discover that trying to automate it can destroy your platform.

Is Your Firewall Protecting Your Business?
Your argument against Stallman seems to hinge on him defending Epstein, which is something he didn't do. He was defending his late friend, Minsky. Specifically, he was unhappy with the language used to describe his conduct evoking imagery worse than the actual conduct.
> If he wanted to defend himself, he would have stayed and fought, let himself get fired, file a lawsuit. But he resigned, willingly.

Or possibly, because both the SFC [1] and the head of the GNOME foundation [2] said that they would find it unacceptable to work with the FSF as long as Stallman was still the leader, he realized there was no way staying on would be possible.

RMS made his office his residence for many years, and slept in it. The mattress made sense as it was his home. It was not there for untoward reasons as people seem to be implying.
hackernews puts a high emphasis on civility, so I’ll be succinct because I find what you said to be absurd.

We do not take for granted that every website is 100% truth or fact. And when presented with something that has only emotion and no fact then we are right to dismiss it. This is why we do not link to things like Obama’s tan suit being Marxist and meaning it[0].

I read into it more, I saw only emotive language and some women who called rms creepy 20 years ago, nothing else. And, yes, I find rms creepy (toe skin eating, anyone?). It is not valid reason to persecute. However, I’m totally open to the idea that this man has horrible ideas and opinions about women and paedophilia. But this is not a compelling citation unless you’re swayed by the kind of language the author uses.

For what it’s worth there are good comments on this article here that indicate something rms previously said about the age of consent in the Netherlands being lowered to 12, and he later changed his opinion on that. It’s a troubling opinion that he had, but I, personally can’t get too bent out of shape if someone changes their mind from something problematic when presented with evidence.

Part of being in a leadership role is not offending carelessly speaking on topics that will bring bad might onto your organization.

RMS has been a force that has driven people away for a long time. He may be good as a thinker and coder, but he is fucking awful at being in a leadership position.
Males are certainly more likely to be ostracized for aggressive behavior in social species... why assume their apparent solitude is because they are “taking risks and exploring” instead of having nowhere else to go?
As someone who would never move to an urban area, there’s nothing that can be done to make it attractive to a subset of us. I don’t want to live among large amounts of other humans. I don’t want to crawl through traffic when I have to use my car. I’d rather live on acres of land far from the city, and pay for the privilege with regards to infrastructure and energy costs (I have solar on my roof, electric cars, and we offset our carbon emissions). We live a far better life than if I had to earn enough on a single income to support my family “in the city” (forget the Bay Area, even West Loop condos in Chicago are crazy expensive).

Remote work uptake will accelerate this trend, versus being forced to live in a city to be close to work. Density isn’t a given, or requirement to live well, and we shouldn’t be so foolish to push it (through half baked policy) on others if they don’t want it.

Side note: Support and advocate for remote work!
I believe self-hosting is a pretty new option. Gitlab always had it afaik.
It's a question because I'm trying to assess where the line is drawn, eg. if a person is sexist in their private life, but keeps things professional on the job, should they be punished for being sexist? You've helped draw that line, but where does the line really lay?

... MIT fired him not Facebook - you are not required to have perfect opinions that everyone agrees with to survive in this world, you are just required to voice them appropriately and at the correct times, which Stallman did not. Stop pretending that Free Speech is something that applies to anything other than citizens having protection from governments
> Here's a radical supposition: it's actually good when speech has consequences in society.

Let's consider the logical conclusions of "society" being able to inflict consequences upon someone if they speak an unpopular opinion.

If you're an individual human being, it's likely that you have at least one opinion about something that isn't inline with the overarching culture. The particular issue of Epstein or Stallman or whomever is irrelevant; while you may agree with the mob in this case, next week or next month you might not. Under your proposition, that leaves you with three options:

1. Keep your opinion to yourself and refrain from telling anyone for fear of reprisal. In other words, self-censorship.

2. Changing your opinion to match society's, out of fear of being ostracized.

3. Expressing your opinion and then having your personal or professional life ruined, or at the very least, affected to the point where you suffer financially, mentally, emotionally, or socially.

Which of those three options sounds beneficial to you?

Please reflect on this one for a bit...
His friend is accused of having sex with an underage prostitute on a billionares private island.

The fact that he thinks people don't have issues with that, but with the fact that he may have forced himself on her, is what makes him a piece of shit.
I received no such email and I signed up fairly quickly for the $125. I've checked my spam folder as well as everywhere else, they simply haven't sent me such an email.
Not really, since you have not stated an actual opinion, except to dismiss the whole issue from the start. That does not speak to a willingness to actually listen to any contrary opinion.
society will offer better moderation than the network because a segment of the moderators will seem out the content and hunt the users publishing the indecent content and destroy them exposing them to their immediate network for the evil that they are. Let the battle play out naturally and nature will provide the resources.

the arrogance of Facebook to think they can hire employees to drink from the fire hose of content to solve moderation is glaring.
Free speech while extremely important cannot be used as a blanket cover to say whatever you want and expect not to suffer consequences. I’m free to call my girlfriend stupid every day, but I should expect the consequence of soon being single.

There are clearly mob reactions to things, but there are also clearly inappropriate speech that should have consequences.

What he said here wasn’t in isolation as some idle musing. context matters. He wasn’t talking about the theoretical of a 19 year old. He was talking about this in context of Minsky being a 74 year old man with a 17 year old girl. Maybe he wasn’t aware of the impact of his words, but that shouldn’t get him a free pass.
That's not really the point.

1) Crossrail cost billions

2) Income tax payers in the UK had to pay for that

3) Income tax payers have had enough and don't want to pay for infrastructure that benefits others

Those who benefitted the most? The land owners in London who have made billions

If the price increases -- the portion solely due to crossrail -- was taxed at 42% like income, then there would be far more money available for useful projects (like crossrail)

Therefore the OPs hope ("I hope we see a lot more of these large scale projects") would be answered

Back in 1994 I could order something out of a computer shopper magazine and have it at my house the next day using Airborne express, I was amazed at the time (it usually arrived before 10am) and still kind of am.
> Someone who is less of a hardliner: [...] his absolutist style of expressing it might have put a lot of people off

I think this is two different issues.

I wouldn't mind a softer talker, but I would prefer for that person to be a hardliner and someone who would open our minds to alternatives in the openess direction.

There are too many "money talks"/"free market solves it all" people in the world, if the front-person of FSF is a mediator then it will grow in that direction, instead of making the world see more spectrum.

A Chadian child in Europe will enjoy a vastly better environment and healthcare which would prevent many potential diseases it would develop in Chad, but it would still be susceptible to diseases uncommon for Europeans and will have a vastly lower life expectancy.

Under the severe conditions in Chad, a European child would still overtake Chadian children in its overall development, but would be susceptible to many local diseases. If the child manages to survive these diseases, it will enjoy a considerably longer and healthier life in that same environment.
Interesting, that's different from why I value free speech. The idea is that dissent makes good societies stronger. When you fire a dissenter, even if they're a bad person, future dissenters (some of whom are good) realize that they have no principled protection. And that's true whether you're a government or a private firm.

There isn't a situation where a 74 year old has sexual contact with a 17 year old on a billionaire's private island in which everyone is willing and happy with what is happening.

It is extremely doubtful that a young woman would find herself in that situation in any other way than a long path of abuse and desperation.

Taking advantage of that young woman is immoral.

That isn't some puritanical, anti-sex philosophy that hates fun.

That is empathy to the all too common situation of young vulnerable women being used for pleasure.
From a geostationary intercept, a payload can theoretically ride a cable climber (power only, no reaction mass) and gravity all the way to a circular lunar orbit. Per a sibling comment, this technically only requires a transfer orbit or less, not a GSO.

This can be quite a good jumping off point to various places around the solar system, as many of these payloads will want a gravity assist from the moon anyway.

The American Delta IV Heavy has a payload to GTO of 14,220kg, and a payload to TLI of 10000kg. This means that getting to geostationary orbit is responsible for about 70% of the cost of reaching the moon. The ratio is a bit worse for the Chinese Long March 5. These are the two currently operational rockets for which my source lists a TLI payload.

70% is indeed the majority of the cost, but cutting 30% from your cost is still a pretty big deal.

I appreciate the wholly subjective and wholly unasked for advice. I'll be sure to give it the same weight as advice given by Hugh Heffner.

I think RMS made a completely faulty argument and doesn't understand the world assault, which calls into question his state of mind.

That said, I don't really see how this is grounds for termination. Again, I am not defending the guy or his utterly bizarre opinion on the matter. He had a disagreeable personal opinion and wrote it out load... so what? He wasn't advocating for harm of any person, persons, or group.

People are way too sensitive and we are giving away far too much to save face among people who aren't worth the effort.
If I were king for a day and ran some kind of public facing organization here is how I would manage these things:

1. Anybody who communicates or advocates harm to any person, persons, or group gets a naughty warning. On the second offense they are permanently banned, terminated, or what ever.

2. Anybody who communicates offense or defensive language (cry babies) gets their post flagged (suppressed and locked). Sad people feed trolls. They are not hostile, but they are still part of the problem. I am sure they have all kinds of wonderful justifications, but I don't care.

This would allow people to disagree within bounds of acceptable behavior while also preventing mass hysteria and echo chamber insanity.
