The one your referencing is related or the same issue. The very first mention of the problem I found with my initial search probably a year ago was the following issue from 2016, which is the one I'm watching:

I don't ever cut anyone because of where they worked or went to school. I'm only looking for a signal in the noise or some common experience for us to discuss.
>However if it gets below a critical mass from enough divestitures they will find new investments hampered and those who are "late to the exit" will find it hard to get value out of it.

...only if the company actually needs more capital and can't raise it any other way (eg. bonds). If there's any sort of leak, then you're giving the holdouts outsized returns.

Yev here -> Interestingly, they aren't decreasing as quickly as they once were and that was part of the impetus for the increase. I touch on it in the article and we go further in detail in the original announcement, but it used to be that the data growth of the customer was more or less negated by drive capacity increasing and cost per gigabyte going down - but that trend has stymied recently.
Snowden got a job handling classified material. The government only trusted him to handle that material because he signed various contracts that said he would keep the material secret and that he would allow the NSA to read anything he wanted to publish so they could be sure he didn’t accidentally leak something (and, potentially, so they could plan for damage control).

This lawsuit is not actually about publishing classified material, but about not giving the NSA a chance to read his book before it was published. Since that’s a contract interpretation issue, and since there’s a law specifically making this contract legal, and since it’s a civil lawsuit (e.g., he can’t go to jail because of this particular lawsuit), I believe the government has a very strong leg to stand on.

I’m not saying this is what the law should allow. But I don’t expect the court to rule this law unconstitutional.
Yeah but I wasn't making an argument about that particular arrangement. Also not sure I trust that link.

I wonder if unions also introduced the 20% time at Google?

Of course if masses of unskilled workers face a bad labor market, they'll have trouble earning good wages and good work conditions. They can unionize, that is, try to form a monopoly, to drive prices up. I think the same people who praise unions usually hate monopolies, which doesn't really make sense. All the issues with monopolies also apply to unions.

The proper way out of it is to increase demand and increase skills.

Unions may help some people at face value, but at the same time they hurt others. Minimum wages prevent some people from getting jobs - many of whom don't even show up in statistics as they are people earning just a few extra bucks. Maximum work hours hurt people who for whatever reason need more money and would like to work more. And other things.
Well, sure, I’m not even really arguing that its a bad thing. Personally, any code I publish online, I put under the MIT license because I don’t really care if people use it commercially or not. Its also the same argument used to say “piracy” isn’t harmful.

I’m just pointing out that in open-source-as-a-hobby its very common that large corporations, who may or may not give back to the community themselves, derive profits off of hobbyist work while this is less common with other hobbies. Even if it doesn’t financially hurt the hobbyist, it can be demoralising (although others love it, so to each their own, I suppose — that’s why we have different licenses)
There is no comparison between the US treatment of Snowden and the ongoing human rights violations in China. China has obviously made great economic progress, but it is far from a modern democracy like the US or Taiwan or Japan or South Korea. No amount of whataboutism will change that fact.

> the doling out of punishment grossly unproportional to the crime. Like in this case - ruining one's entire career for the crime of being pedantic and tactless on a semi-public mailing list

The person I was discussing with agrees that Stallman's actions and history, combined, merited his resignation or removal. Yet they used the phrase "cancel culture" anyway.

Please don't blame anyone but Stallman for ruining his career. His history of pedophilia-apology, his history of acting badly, possibly to the level of harassment, around women at MIT, and recently his need to "well-acktually" statutory rape ruined his career.

> You'll note here that the final impact is not correlated with the scale of the initial wrongdoing, but with how many people get outraged how fast, and how far they reshare, all of which is moderated by how misleading can the story be made and by what else is currently on the news.

No, I don't note that. Pressure was put on MIT leadership by women at MIT, women who had historically been ignored when they raised similar issues about the same person in the past. As MIT said, this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

> that's awfully convenient and points towards the actual reason not being related to past behavior.

No it doesn't. It points to the trigger not being past behavior, with which I fully agree. It says nothing about the scale of the reaction by MIT or the FSF. Those were without a doubt informed by a pattern of behavior.
Not enough liquidity at home, can I get some money to cover that Fed?
>They use the example of South Africa, but that was a very different process. It wasn't just about not investing in South African companies... it was about not buying their goods, too.

So boycotting? Not sure what's the point of bundling something that's actually effective (boycotts) with something with questionable effectiveness (divestment).
Agreed, there is most likely a sealed federal indictment in his name. The part that isn't accurate is that he will almost certainly be held without bail. The government will argue he is a flight risk, and the judge will certainly agree - he will be in jail until his trial.
> The people still in the streets have other agendas

Here is that agenda, also known as the 5 demands:

1. Kill the extradition bill. Done.

2. Retract use of the word “riot” to classify the protests.

3. Release and drop charges for protesters who have been arrested.

4. An inquiry into the widespread, well documented police brutality.

5. Universal suffrage.

In other words, they want their right to peacefully protest & vote for their leaders. To claim they have such rights already would be to ignore their words and their plight entirely.

I think there is reason to believe that Snowden is a blackops story. A guy making six figures and working remotely in Hawaii as an NSA contractor, somehow extracts tons of critical data and then one day decides he has a moral compass and gives it to reporters at The Guardian and Der Spegiel? Then he goes and hangs out in Russia and his smokin hot girlfriend says she wants to go be with him.

We should not be surprised that in 30 years, declassified documents show this whole thing was orchestrated to show Americans don't actually care at all about domestic spying.
> I'm not really sure of the mechanism for CO2 emissions from pipelines

They aren't talking CO2 emissions per-se but greenhouse gas emissions in "CO2 equivalent". This is an important distinction because there are other greenhouse gases, most notable methane. My guess is the emissions from pipelines refers to methane leaking out of natural gas pipelines.

You're commenting about this on Hacker News, a site that--from a technical perspective--does almost everything "wrong", or using methods that have been obsolete for 10+ years. It uses tables for layout. It does "AJAX" by creating an <img> tag and setting the src= as the url to request. It has an awful url structure (e.g. item?id=20996837). And on and on, I could list so much more.

But you (and I, and thousands of others) still use the site and probably didn't even notice or care about any of that. This is one of the largest, most heavily concentrated technical audiences on the internet, and even though those are the exact people you think would be most discerning about it, obviously nobody truly cares about how much isn't being done "properly". People will argue all day in the comments here about the right way to do things, but since they're here they clearly don't think it's important when deciding what they use themselves.

It's the same for everyone else, with every other site and product. As long as it works, the reality is that almost nobody cares how much of a mess anything is internally.
I don't really get how this works. Since it is completely offline, what's stopping someone from paying some amount, but not subtracting it from their account? I guess each party could sync the transactions when they get back online, but this seems messy.

> Does this work in liquid markets though?

Well, I think the idea is to try to the make the market for these stocks less liquid.

And it might work, because the long run you're talking about isn't actually looking too bright due to the technological developments with renewables and electric vehicles. These stocks are not retirement stocks, unless you're retiring in a couple of years.
Perhaps they don't.

I might be biased otherwise (RMS lost a lot in my eyes due to new information I learned in this thread), and my initial introduction was the Medium post that started the media storm, but reading RMS's writing, I saw him explicitly not absolving Minsky from wrongdoing, but getting pedantic about the language, in an attempt to ensure the accusations being flung around are as close to what (he believed) could be made with available information. I immediately thought, "man, this is about the worst time to be pedantic, people will eat you for this alive", but honestly, trying to make the accusations wielded against a deceased friend accurate is laudable.

Much like I'm disgusted by some of the things I've learned today, I still feel that the original Medium post and the latter media reporting based on it are essentially character assassination performed to push a cause and (in the case of the media reporting) push ads. That's why I called it utterly nonsense.

I agree that things come in waves once you open the floodgates; RMS being criticized for one instance of bad behavior gives a reason to air other (perhaps less known) stories from the past. From my point of view, given that I consider this particular outrage over this particular misbehavior grossly overblown and based on mischaracterization, I'm just disappointed the camel broke its back immediately, legitimizing the current outrage. Even if getting rid of him for all the past transgressions, I would feel much better if they waited a few days.
Interesting, ideally it uses the observed human behaviors to seed/inform it’s own attempts as a shortcut to advanced behavior without the many millions of generations needed.
Any country with resources is doing it to allies and adversaries alike and selective outrage requires top-shelf cherry picking. Everything is tapped everywhere.

> Once upon a time there was a tiger

Finished as:

that lived in a tree, and the other tigers had been fighting against him for years! And one day , a lion saw a tiger eating a squirrel . So, he chased the tiger away and said, "No more tiger , I have a better idea ." The tiger said , " You're right. A lion should help the tiger ." So the tiger looked at the lion , and said, " What ?" The lion said , " The lion should help the tiger ." So the tiger smiled and went and talked to the lion again. "How is it ?" The lion said, "The lion is smarter than the tiger !" The tiger said, " The lion is smarter than the tiger ! " The lion said, "No !" The tiger said, "The lion is smarter than me !" The lion said, "No !" The tiger said, "The lion is smarter than me! !" The lion said, "No !" The tiger said, "The lion is smarter than me ! " The lion said, "No !"

Seems like a pretty bad idea in an ostensibly good economy. QE was considered dangerous and hypothetical until 10 years ago and that was an actual crisis. Do you see some danger in normalizing QE (even in more niche markets like overnight)?
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Re squash commits: as a MR author what I want is the ability to set the commit message in advance (even if it's just a check box to say "use the MR title and description". Using a commit message is a sane default behavior, but not extremely helpful most of the time (IMO). If I'm going to rely on it for the message in my squashed commit I'm going to have to remember to check my branch history, and most of the time I'll probably have to do an interactive rebase to clean things up and ensure Gitlab grabs the correct commit message. It also negates the value of "squash on the server" - if I need to do an interactive rebase anyway, it only requires about 30 seconds extra to just do the squash myself.
How does this even work? Like, does one plainly submit a form to the govt saying "yeah just double it" or what? I never actually got the hang of how this things are defined; can anyone ELI5?

Some days ago it was discussed (here) that Gimp was forked in fact. Apparently just because some people "found offensive" the name Gimp (Something that could be seen as an obvious attempt to first degrade the brand, then appropriate as own new invention, and finally phagocyte it. Has happened before with other programs that were slightly modified and then heavily advertised).

I don't believe he's arguing about the word. I think he's arguing whether it should be illegal.

China wants to assert its national sovereignty over HK. By controlling Hong Kong the communist government gains legitimacy in the eyes of the Chinese people. There's quite nothing that binds together a people than a city of young people that doesn't want to be Chinese.
> There is also the idea that contributing will be great for your career development. I have found that not to be the case at all, I think that no potential or current employer has ever given a rat's ass about open source contributions, and do not consider that work as valuable when making hiring decisions

I don't think you can make a sweeping generalization like that, because "employer" is not some omnipotent figure sitting in an ivory tower. It's other developers, and managers who are (typically) technical and can appreciate individuals who contribute to open source.

If I see someone is an active contributor on Scikit-learn, numpy, etc. that is a certainly a strong signal for me. Yes I'm not making the hiring decision, but I can assure you the HM is going to be influenced by those who interviewed the candidate.

In Snowden's case, he was a contractor and the specific whistleblower law covering the NSA did not apply to him.
I think his past comments make his position clear:

Jaywalking is wrong. Should you get 15 months or even 20 years for it?

I doubt that either the guy who made the call or the guy who hired him wanted to kill someone. Having been around a number of cops and military personal though, I've seen plenty that are just in it to harm others.
We know the altitude of an object with an orbital period of a month: the moon is there. An object going the speed of the end of the tether would drop like a stone.

Objects in geosynchronous orbit are going 3000+ mph, where the end of the tether would be at about a standstill. Still, if you managed to grab on, on your way past, there would be plenty of swing and stretch. It would be hard to keep it from swinging all over, all the time, as the tides had their way with it.
Wow that's brutally self-destructive. Has society always been like this? The more I look around the world today the more self-destructive behavior I see. I don't know if I only recently learned the cues to look for or if it is only a recent phenomenon

I just think it's funny that rich people can get billions of dollars to stay solvent in a sudden crisis, and I can't get a dime when I can't pay for lunch.

Am I reading this wrong? Is this a bad analogy? Is it not exemplary of how creditworthiness seems to rise at a higher rate than the means used to justify that creditworthiness? I'm a layman, but I'd like to know more.
Many people are likely better off with Fi's existing plan:

- $20 month + $10/GB up to 6 GB ($60) then unlimited. Full resolution video. Up to 15 GB usage before it is slowed. Cost: $20~80 (+T&Fs) depending on usage.

Vs.

- $70 month unlimited. Includes Google One. Limited 480p video. Cost: $70 (+T&Fs) regardless of usage.

If you're using 5 GB or more every month, you should switch, but if your usage is variable and the average is less than 5 GB you should likely stick with their existing plan (to save money). Unless Google One is a worthwhile perk for you of course (and you don't mind the video downgrade).

More choices are nice. If they forced me onto this I'd just switch to T-Mobile since it would cost similar and the side benefits are greater.
They do.

You can notice by looking at the build time in the version string.

This makes it impossible to share a profile between two GNU/Linux distributions (or even the official binary and the distribution binary) without hacking with the current versions, even if they are effectively the same version: one will complain that the profile has been run with a more recent version.

(But I sure expect and want my distributions to rebuild Firefox - I trust Debian for making sure no bit of proprietary code is here, and makes tracking opt-in, more than Mozilla)
Hawaii has higher prices than California[0], but I don't think there is any definitive reason that gasoline should be cheaper in Hawaii.

Hawaii is surrounded by ocean on all sides. Many metropolitan areas in California are valleys facing an onshore wind. Vehicle emissions kill people in Hawaii, and they kill even more people in California.

California produces more oil than Hawaii, but location or input prices in general are not the only determinant of energy prices. Take a look at some of the current gas prices around the world.[1]

$/Gall - Country Average Price
0.34 - Cuba
1.08 - Iran
2.08 - Egypt
2.20 - Saudi Arabia
2.91 - US
3.72 - Australia
3.86 - Canada
4.05 - Mexico
5.42 - Spain
5.60 - New Zealand
5.80 - Germany
6.36 - France
6.55 - Italy
7.09 - Norway

Compare Cuba, Iran, Italy and Norway.

How about miles of paved roads to maintain [2]

180,800 - California
4,469 - Hawaii

or the wear by millions of miles traveled on those roads?[3]

340,115 - California
10,635 - Hawaii

Even if supplying gasoline to Hawaii is more expensive, and it has 1/20th the population of California to shoulder the costs of maintenance, there has a much smaller road network per capita to support, different air quality challenges, and less driving overall to discourage.
