> More men are raped as well

More? OMG that is about as self-serving a piece of false information as I've ever come across here on HN.
I'm purely arguing against the idea of there being serious consequences for merely expressing an unpopular opinion.
>He perhaps should not have made them in a work forum

Look, that's the reason he's gone. So you said it yourself. That was his decision.
Jeff Bezos does not have integrity. We know this because of the way he treated Mackenzie Bezos.

Now, we just have to see how far his lack of integrity will go in his business operation.

At a $previousJob I had some tangential contact with professionals who track child pornography, trying to identify and free the kids (people involved in catching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Paul_Neil). They felt that automation was of little help for what they were doing, and that every image had to be looked at by at least one human (most of the images by more than 1). They had a few tricks (apparently looking at the image in B/W helped lessen the trauma) but they did not find value in the automated tools we tried to build to help them.

Now, they felt much more empowered than what Facebook was doing: they kept going because the goal was to stick cuffs on the wrists of the guys who were doing this, and get those kids away from him, and they could put up with all of the rest for that goal. They were treated as rockstars by the rest of the people they interacted with, because they were the ones who got kids away from the predators. They had frequent opportunities to take breaks and could set their own schedule, with only the guilt that came from the longer they delayed, the more time passed with the kids in the predators hands to drive them.

Ultimately, feeling empowered to make a difference in the world is key, and if Facebook treated screening as an important job and gave their moderators more power to set their own working conditions I suspect that it would improve their mental health by quite a bit.
I think point-to-point is supposed to be the most efficient provided you accurately match airplanes to the routes people want to fly.

Hub flying is useful for folks that want to go from one small city to another; on a given day there might be two people who want to fly from Providence, RI to San Antonio, TX so it's not viable to fly a plane between them, but if you route them via Philadelphia, PVD-PHL-SAT, you can accommodate them with limited extra distance or extra time and also accommodate people wanting to travel PVD-PHL and PVD-PHL-SYR, etc.

Once you start working in units of "planeloads" instead of "people", point-to-point flying is likely going to be more efficient in terms of time, distance, cost, etc...
A generation is an algorithm change. For example, in VantageScore 3.0 (used by Credit Karma), your utilization percentage doesn't have a "memory" - your score reflects only your current utilization level. In 4.0, utilization has a memory - if you've been running maxed-out cards for a year, and you pay it all off right before applying for more credit, your score doesn't improve as much as in 3.0.

There's a pretty good comparison at https://www.creditkarma.com/credit-cards/i/vantagescore-30/ between VS 3, VS 4, FICO 8, and FICO 9.

> I would be curious to hear if people view Kredit Karma as trustworthy.

I strongly suspect their card/loan recommendations (where they make the bulk of their revenue) are intended to steer users into the ones that earn them the most commission. You'd want to go into it with eyes wide open and do a lot of independent research.

mostly agree. currently, US city life has too many unappealing aspects unless you're either super wealthy or truly broke.

in the US high quality of life cities are actually quite scarce and in time almost always overwhelmed by large numbers of people who want to experience that quality of life. then quality of life decreases significantly.
Divining intent isn’t the right threshold to judge speech. If it were then I can say whatever I want in whatever environment, because how would you prove my intent?

Great read! Well done!
It probably shouldn't put all ad-free sites above all ad-laden sites, but some preferential treatment would be nice. But there are already plenty of ad-free sites that have tons of useful information. I wouldn't mind seeing them ranked higher.
I think you have hit on an actual insight here, but it's worth noting that it's of an extremely similarly cynical and broad-brush character to what you're talking about. :)
A related theory is the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variability_hypothesis

The idea being that males tend to have flatter/wider distributions of traits, leading to higher populations at the extremes of those traits. This can include aggression, risk aversion, etc.

To be fair, it is morally absurd to define ‘fired’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was asked to resign or volunteered on their own volition.
insofar as we have no evidence or inclination to believe that rms has engaged in any criminal behavior or wrongdoing or abuse of his position, why should it matter at all whether what he says is or is not 'ok'? people say stupid shit all the time, none more so than yourself.

I spend some time looking for a tool (2 hours on github/google) and simply couldn't find a tool that:

* tracked cpu/memory usage for a process AND its children

* let me annotate scopes (using a context manager) in code to know later how much was used (cpu/memory) in that scope

* provided a nice HTML output with interactive charts and downloadable images

* low amount of dependencies

.

so i made Metrace. It does those things and ONLY those things.

it

* appends all info to a json lines file for easy interpretation (slow i know, but simple ;-)

* uses plotly to generate nice cpu and memory charts where individual processes have their own line charts (within the figure) and the traces (reported using the context manager) are correctly associated to the processes

It is brutally implemented, I needed the tool asap, but i will invest some time in increasing code quality soon (20 percent time).

.

similar things that didnt feel they met my demands:

* memory-profiler

* netdata

* name your tool, i probably tried it :-)

>Do you understand what it is like to be a woman, to have to look over your shoulder so much of the time, the fear and anxiety that follows you or prevents you from walking alone at night or in a strange place?

I like how women think this uniquely applies to them.

As if all men are just brimming with confidence, completely unafraid and always ready to do battle. As if they can walk past a hooded figure on a dark street and physiologically remaining completely unaffected.
He never said that there's nothing wrong with it, which means you're lying. Shame on you.

> He was in two roles that were largely about PR and put him in positions of power over young women.

1st, you're assuming his relative power based on claims in an article by a young woman who didn't know about him, and still hasn't met him.

2nd, the least old of these claims was written 13 years ago.

3rd, for god's sake... he wasn't defending pedophilia. there's no reason to say that! why on earth do people keep repeating it? it's clearly inaccurate.

This is actually quite significant if you consider the perturbation which weather systems can have on flight operations. Weather can easily lead to annual losses > 100m to individual US carriers, due to delay and cancellations.
Aggressive behaviour is extremely risky, the payoffs and costs are both very high. And indeed, one of the potential costs is social ostracism. It counts under the taking risks part of 'taking risks and exploring'.
The gory details are all in the legal filings. I'm really not interested in whatever meaningless press statements Tesla is putting out to cover their ass after they were depantsed by the lawsuit. "They agreed to fix everything after we sent a team of high priced lawyers after them" doesn't instill confidence.
As far as I understand, there's plenty of real-world horrible conduct he could have got fired for too, which has gone without consequence.

This isn't a one-time thing where he never did a bad thing in his life and now is suddenly attacked by a mob. He has been an awful person for a long, long time, and now he is suddenly facing actual consequences.
What type of phone? You might want to try a different screen protector - every well applied glass screen protector I've seen on iPhones has been nearly indistinguishable from the glass screen (and I'm really particular about mine).

We did have issues on the Galaxy phones with that edge though, we could never get the screen protector to stick properly.
If you own your home, you only pay tax ("stamp duty") when you sell it - there isn't a land value tax or similar. There's also a local council tax based on property value, but that has a cap.
The misquote actually alters the narrative from “pedophile apologist” to “child slanderer”, since he’s supposedly declaring his knowledge of the mental state of the child concerned. Which, amazingly, is an even worse narrative.

animals also live in societies, complex societies in cases of elephants. it can be that those behaviours are learned in those societies.

Sorry, But I've been around the block enough times here to know that your actual goal is to label this action as "punishment."

That's a position with enormous rhetorical value to you. You can use that framing to turn a conversation about a man's actions over time into a philosophical question.

That way you can avoid any inconvenient particular facts.

With models that large you would be paying for GitHub's LFS credits. Those aren't cheap as I recall. Napkin math at $5/50GB of bandwidth per month for 45TB per day it would cost them $135k/mo to use Github. That's over 2x more than the S3 egress charges would be.
Interesting. Mine is an old Philips Philishave, which use the rotary blades.

your comment seems to suggest that animals aren't social and their behaviour is pure biological.
And what im saying is that

1) there are material consequences for "expressing an unpopular opinion." some of which aren't up to the person expressing them.
2) those determining the consequences, such as the organizations that let RMS go, are and should be allowed the freedom to self-govern in this way. they are well within their right to refuse to be associated with people who say these things.

Understandable. My line of thought was that free software could, in some places where it's not big yet, win in the long term if the FSF stopped judging devs/makers of non-free software. (And instead maybe acknowledged that it's hard to develop free software in that field under the current circumstances to raise awareness.)
That's a terrible process. As you say, a "soft lock" of some kind is the obvious fix. They are basically encouraging you to jump ship because at that point, it's a similar effort to move to another vendor.

Amazon declined when it opened up prime FBA to sellers from outside the USA to sell directly into the USA market. Listen for a second, The Chinese amazon accounts are ran by Chinese sellers who operate in a different culture and market that has different values and rules.

READ THIS: https://mywifequitherjob.com/why-chinese-sellers-are-dominat...

If you’ve shopped on Amazon lately, you’ve probably noticed that the platform has become a cesspool of non-name brand goods. And most of these products are sold by private label sellers, retail/online arbitragers and companies in China selling direct on Amazon.

Of these 3 types of sellers, the Chinese have been the fastest growing segment and they are utterly dominating the platform. In fact, they’ve pretty much taken over.

Here are a few statistics to describe the Asian invasion this past year…

Over 250,000 Chinese Sellers Joined Amazon Last Year
25% of Amazon’s 2 Million Sellers Are Based In China
They Have Years Of Exporting Experience
They Have A Pricing Advantage Over Other Sellers

We are now seeing the results of the inundation of Chinese sellers onto Amazon.
> your social norms

I am not affiliated with either MIT or the FSF, so my social norms have little to do with it.

Anyway, you're playing the dumb little game that people like to play with this topic: "If you're so 'tolerant' why won't you tolerate people saying offensive shit?"

And you've heard the answer a million times, I bet, you just won't accept it: Because it silences higher-quality diverse voices and "asshole who says repellent things" is already a wildly overrepresented class of person in the tech industry.
I'm hoping it's just lost in the noise for now, and not an attempt to keep people from seeing the source. Which would be ironic.
In Berlusconi's ~75yo case he was acquitted of having sex with a 17yo because the "fact is not a crime". Then he was accused of bribing witnesses 10 million €, so I guess we have to wait and see.

Definitely morally dubious, especially in his case. It's not clear if the girl did it for money, or was more or less nudged into this by her life circumstances.

Oh and Tridactyl https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl, I found this to be a better solution on my 13" laptop because Tree Style Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/tree-style-tab takes up too much screen real estate.

I am hoping when Fenix comes up to parity on the extensions front we will have a solution to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1398097, which will allow for Container support.

It was a poorly formed argument, but you've hit on the absurdity that I was trying to point out. Obviously somebody has to look at this stuff.

the problems with resume generators are

* privacy: if it's not client-side only, how do I know you're not saving all my data and selling it to advertisers recruiters spammers etc?

* popularity: a random recruiter pulls up two applications and they both have the exactly same template. this is probably a bad thing. best case scenario you become less unique and more forgettable, worst case scenario they think you're a liar that has plagiarized the resume from somewhere and the contents aren't correct

Can you be a bit more clear about what "defending statutory rape" means to you?

All i'm seeing is people pointing out that statutes are different around the globe, and that it was rms' point that the variety of these rules is the exact reason not to refer to minsky's behavior (whatever it was) as "assault".
Search friendliness.

Quite a few open-source projects rely heavily on being findable, and often use their Github README as a sort of "marketing site" for developers.

You would think universities would be a little more lax than a Fortune 500 company when it comes to freedom of expression . They certainly have been in many other aspects. You can rail all you want against the oppressive patriarchy and talk about toxic masculinity, but to question the statutory rape laws (which are different in every country, so clearly there are different viewpoints on the subject) - that's unpardonable?

Your original comment, before you edited it, did not call that out. You specified the 425 million as only for people affected by the breach. And that's not what it was for. Anyhow, how do you know there have been exactly 0 incidents? Where do you even begin to trace any incident back to this breach as the cause? Claiming it as non-existent is a bit naive. The damage has been done. Your information is out there. Again, slice it anyway you want. Let's assume NO ONE has been ACTUALLY impacted. Let's go with identify theft protection. As a consumer, I don't trust Equifax anymore. Since they mishandled my data, it's perfectly valid for me to reject them and opt for another monitoring service I trust, which let's say I have to pay for. I am in the situation covering my bases because of Equifax. So, I expect them to compensate me for this service. Oh wait, there's no money left. Use our credit monitoring service or get wrecked. And this is ok? So, based on your statement, we're literally relying on a vast majority of people either opting for the credit monitoring from Equifax or not claiming any damages for the rest to receive any compensation? If that's OK, then I guess I'll stop engaging here.
