>because despite what you say, web-sockets themselves have heartbeats, and 12x the heartbeats is 12x the reasons for your phone’s modem to wake up.

Don’t put words in my mouth. A heartbeat is not high resource usage.

Your wall of text doesn’t negate the fact that multiple websockets can be maintained with trivial resource consumption. It absolutely cannot be generalized to assume that multiple websockets means copies of everything. I’ve seen multiple clients supporting multiple websocket connections to distinct servers while re-using all of the same UI components.

We've paid a high price for letting the anti-patent faction kill the value of patents.

- VCs used to be about finding someone with a new technology and a patent, then funding them to commercialize it. Now they're about buying market share, losing money on every sale and making it up in volume. When VCs funded real technology, from about 1970 to 2000, they made money as a class. Now they lose money as a class.

- Everything is a trade secret now. When patents were strong, you could disclose how things worked. With weak patents, NDAs are a bigger deal than ever. Right to repair suffers. Companies use unmarked components to inhibit reverse engineering.

- Trade secret law has criminal provisions, which patent law does not. You can go to jail for supposedly stealing your employer's technology, even if you just went to work for a competitor. Like Sergey_Aleynikov, and possibly Anthony Levandowski.

- Most of the fuss was about business method patents, but those were prohibited years ago. That's a dead issue.

- Patents are for 20 years, then it's public domain. Trade secrets are forever.

The "America Invents Act" made it hard to maintain a patent. Now you can face repeated challenges in post-grant proceedings.

China now has tougher patent laws than the US does. In China, you can routinely get injunctions to shut down an infringer.

I usually change my title depending on who I am talking to.

Someone well educated who understand software should know what being a "software engineer" entails.

Talking to my mum or someone that isn't technical, I am a "computer programmer" as its something I think they will understand a lot more easily.

Or if the conversation is more casual say a random person in a pub, then I will even say I am a "computer nerd", as I think it brings you to their level a bit more and shows you don't take yourself too seriously.

Just by using pesticides and herbicides more precisely you can have a major remedial impact. Many farmers would apply either the wrong pesticide against an insect or at a stage that makes it less effective against its target. However, we have a myriad of weather data available, and together with insect life cycle data you can create a model that tells you 1) when to spray 2) the epicenter if applicable and 3) dynamic feedback as the weather changes.

I have a early stage startup that has this as one of its long term goals. But to be honest there are other lower hanging fruit in agriculture that makes more sense to start with—the startup is more of an "idea" bank than a business at this point—and I won't be quitting a job in finance for a risky "smart farm" idea any time soon.

If Earth becomes uninhabitable, mankind will die out.

You can imagine all sorts of 'pie in the sky' scenarios, but the bald truth is that mankind can only exist on Earth for any worthwhile length of time. (Which is why all those 'Let's Go to Mars' expeditions will be in reality 'Let's Die on Mars Very Soon from Lack of Food, Water and Oxygen' expeditions.)
Those people are quite well accounted for, right (IIRC they take your photos and fingerprints when you cross the border, presumably also for visa application). Completely different from an illegal "new-immigrant" that crosses the border unnoticed.
> The main drivers I think are plain habitat loss

Fragmentation is also an issue people don't think enough about. You see percentages of forested ground and think "well that looks pretty good" but when you go check it out it's disparate strands with fields inbetween, or thin rows of trees a few meters wide. This means only "edge" species have a habitat, and even for them their domain is not really a boundary with a flux between different ecosystems anymore, they've got identical open areas on both sides. It also means the bigger species don't have the room to live there anymore.

The Obamacare subsidies drive this.

Let's say a given employees health insurance coverage costs Amazon $5,000 a year to provide. If the employee was to purchase the same level of coverage on his or her own from a subsidized exchange, let's say it costs the employee $3,000 in out-of-pocket premiums. Amazon could then pay the employee less overall while apportioning $4,000 more to wages, and thereby both Amazon and the employee benefit... at the expense of other taxpayers, of course.

I think the problem here is that Stallman seems to value technical correctness over propriety, and doesn't seem to value political correctness at all.

I get his point that using the term "assault" is probably incorrect, though it may be the correct term in some jurisdictions. The (usually unofficial) term I'd use is "statutory rape", which covers any nonforcible sexual activity between an adult and a minor (roughly paraphrased from Wikipedia [1]). So, using the term "assault" is technically incorrect in some jurisdictions, and that seems to be the point he was trying to make.

That being said, it's not an important point to make at all, and it is absolutely valid to see it as completely insensitive and inappropriate for someone in his position. Stallman does this type of thing a lot, and perhaps it's time to have him take a less public role and pass the mantel to someone who is willing to follow the ever changing rules of considerate speech. Speaking with tact doesn't limit the ability for the FSF to spread its message; to the contrary, it can only help.

I feel both sides here are in the wrong. The author made a big deal over what I (and likely many others) see as another of Stallman's eccentric rants, but then again, we probably shouldn't continue giving him a pass just because of his contributions. Maybe he needs to talk to whomever Linus Torvalds spoke with about being more careful with public speech. I appreciate the edit the author made about being a bit hasty, and I'd also appreciate something similar from Stallman about his choice of arguments to involve himself in.

Having access to professors, multiple subject areas, libraries, laboratories, computing environments, field-excursion opportunities, alumni networks, university partnerships, visiting vaculty, lecture programmes (both inside and outside ordinary course materials), and opportunities to meet and know students from a wide range of backgrounds, interests, inclinations, personal histories, and political inclinations, are all part of my own college experience.

There was also introduction to specific skills, some of which proved useful, and subject areas. Numerous of my courses outside my major areas of study or even areas of general interest have proved highly durable and relevant, in ways I could never have guessed. The opportunity to develop my own skills in research and areas of interest as well.

And, I realise several decades later, numerous missed opportunities.

I'm not of the view that uni is for everyone, or that its benefits (or financing) are fairly sold. But it most definitely can and does have considerable value.
How does that work exactly when the crime is against a plant you use for personal medical reasons. Love it or hate it, medical weed is cheaper and easier to produce then most opioid alternatives. [i.e. morphine, codeine, oxytocin, etc.] And its safer to produce, process, and distribute to end users [consumers]. So grandma gets a felony conviction because she grew her medical weed in her backyard garden and now has 10-15yrs of her life wasted in a prison cell... How exactly does the math of justice add that up? Grandma grew 20 plants because she wanted to make her medicine and have enough left over to make some edible cookies... Grandma's of America union doesn't exist, grandma is left to the mercy of a corrupt justice systems that mandates minimum federal sentencing guidelines regardless of a defendants circumstances. The math doesn't add up, it's cruel punishment and unfair treatment of the law. I mean if grandma had a meth lab then yeah she deserves to "due the time" but for weed, no one should go to jail for weed... it's a complete waste of tax money..IMHO

The answer for this is sanity checking and some kind of layered "reflexes".

I design for mission critical things on a regular basis, and one of the error modes I must accommodate is random bit flipping by cosmic rays, emf, or other failures.

Sometimes, it is possible to push things to a "safe" failure state and reboot (which often takes only 100 ms or so)

Sometimes, though, the error must be caught and corrected to a last known good value or something like that. Everything critical is sanity checked : overall boundaries, rate of change, state related boundaries, etc. Layers of "reflexes" are more robust than a single programmed behavior, because an error in one will be resisted by the others. So much the better when there are segregated systems to check each other.

Often, I'll have a "brilliant" system that performs to a very high standard and is complex and brittle. If the brilliant system fails, it just shuts down or reboots. Underneath the brilliant system is another layer or two. A "competent" system that is simpler and more robust, but less efficient and with soft failure modes, and a "brainstem" system that takes nothing for granted, even checking basic functions by bit flipping to negate stuck ram bits or broken ALU logic, but only tries to do a pasable job, reducing algorythmic complexity to its bare acceptable minimum.

Typically the system will generate a basic range of acceptable parameters at the lowest level (and take corrective action if needed), then refine the range at each subsequent level..rinse and repeat. That way, each lower level checks the ones above.

Or, you just fail downwards if errors are suspected. Either way.

Designing failure tolerant systems is not impossible, but it requires a different mindset.

One problem you face in the United States that's not present in areas where there are focuses on rehabilitation (such as Norway) is crime culture. I grew up in a very urban poor area and gang life was something that people strove for. Getting into a gang was a goal similar to how working for a FAANG might be a goal for somebody from a different culture. And the gangs act as family replacements for kids who come from mostly dysfunctional homes.

The point of this is that by the time they hit their late teens and start entering the prison system, they don't see it as prison but simply a temporary time out from 'the life.' And when they get out, their time in lock up is something that's worn as a badge of honor showing how 'hard' they are. And of course since this culture starts to take a grip quite early, individuals that fall into this trap are generally going to be extremely uneducated. You're looking at adults with elementary or middle school level educations, and generally who have a very strong aversion to education in general.

And so how do you rehabilitate against this? When these guys get out of lockup their options are returning to the life where they're going to met with adulation and respect. Or they can try to go get a minimum wage job bagging groceries or asking if you'd like fries with that. Even look at things such as all the dead rappers. Many of these guys had millions of dollars and could have just retired into self indulgent hedonism on a beach somewhere if they wanted. But even those millions of dollars can't take them away from 'the life', until it eventually takes their life.

I'd predict here that we're going to be able to gradually see Sweden start to migrate towards a punitive based prison system as well. Before they had a negligible crime culture, but now they've entered an era where they're left engaging in hand grenade amenesties. [1] It's that sort of environment where rehabilitation gradually gives way to punitive responses.

The thing is Kickstarter don’t give f* on their own TOS.

I know I simply paraphrase here: their own TOS says, that there are no copycat products allowed. They need to have huge improvement over the original.

The other day they had a featured product, which I immediately recognized as simple copycat of a typical Chinese product. I know the German FBA version. I pointed that out to Kickstarter. They told me, no it isn’t because it has a major improvement. The major improvement was that it was simply missing a feature and the imitated wood housing was a different imitated wood.

TL/DR as long as it brings money in Kickstarter don’t care about their own TOS.

Comparing philosophers with constitution writers is a bit difficult. Philosophizing and nation building are quite different from one another.

But, basically, the question we should ask:

"is there a direct connection between Heidegger's philosophical prescriptions and his fascism?"

If so, that suggests a pretty serious problem with his prescriptions -- that, in certain milieu -- his ideas comfortably co-exist with or perhaps even feed/justify a fascist mindset.

IMO that line was always kind of obvious, but in any case, Heidegger drew it directly for us in his Black Notebooks.

Especially in Heidegger's case -- because of the very broad nature of the prescriptions that follow from his work -- I think that's quite different from mere "guilt by association".
