>our white collar workplaces have become highly mentally taxing and employees need judgement-free resources provided by employers to deal with them

Seeing what people in other countries go through, willingly, sacrificing for their families and persevering in relative poverty, I can't help but feel that sentiments like these come off as weak and entitled. If anything it shows that life in the first world is too comfortable, which understandably makes it hard to appreciate how easy we have it, even in the "roughest" of tech jobs.
Europe has entire countries where pretty much 100% of the population were extremist Catholic zealots with huge families by modern standards just a couple of hundred years ago.

Today those countries have some of the lowest birth rates in Europe, e.g. Spain and Italy[1] pretty much trail the pack. The data suggests that your hypothesis is false.

In the UK, I can thoroughly recommend NCT. I suppose any group-based meet up might be as good.

NCT got us and half a dozen other parents of similar age all in the same room for 18 hours split over six weeks. We also met up outside classes and carried on socialising afterwards.

So not only did we get a pile of information about what to expect and what to do for birth and early days, but it gave us a network of people to chat to while going through the rough stuff. That's far more precious a resource than any book when your up five times a night with teething.
There is another large part of the community that wants no part in the community as a result of events like this. I guess we will end up with two communities one focused on software the other focused on social justice (wokeware). It looks like the social justice community will get the code and trademarks. Fortunately thanks to RMS the code is available to fork.

I guess things aren't organised yet but I and others I have spoken to IRL have already stopped interacting with certain projects.

I was wondering if some of the community's thought leaders might jump ship - but I guess they will be purged anyway so that should help!

EDIT: Would any downvoters care to comment on why they think this won't happen? Do they think we will continue to participate against our will...

>nobody but truckers uses standalone GPS

Here in south australia, if you're on your P1s you cannot use mobile phones in any way while driving, including handsfree and mounted GPS function. I got a Garmin (as a birthday present) which I still use even though I can use my phone now, since it's actually very nice (especially traffic/red light camera warnings, school zone and speed limit change notifications, live traffic, etc.).

I'd be heartily in favor of phones being banned from being used as GPS/navigation aids, since it seems most people don't have the self control not to interact with their phones while driving - it would remove it as a distraction and hopefully prevent "opportunistic" phone use.
Pro-tip: if you are using iTerm2, you can set this as your "Send text as start" and always be in a tmux session:

I also recommend remapping ctrl-b to ctrl-space (set -g prefix C-Space). Easier to hit and as a bonus, ctrl-b will work as expected when connected to a remote tmux session.

It's not Apple's fault that your infrastructure is failing.

So the US government spending nearly $1 Trillion annually on the military is worth every penny I assume. Imagine your military budget was halved. What could you do with an extra $500 Billion a year?

The fact that the US government spends nearly $700 Billion annually on Medicare and your health system is utterly broken doesn't bother you.

Or that your government bailed out the banks to the tune of around $16 TRILLION doesn't piss you off.

The above commenter was referencing specific populations, not entire countries. A good comparable example might be Orthodox Jews, which are projected to become the majority of the Jewish population in a short period of time (because of high birth rates, among other reasons.) However I'm not sure if the equivalent Christian groups are as prevalent in Europe.

High birth rates are an important aspect of Orthodox demographics: They are the most reproductive of all Jews, and ultra-Orthodox communities have some of the highest rates in the world, with 6 children per an average household. Non-existent levels of intermarriage (unlike some liberal Jewish denominations, Orthodoxy vehemently opposes the phenomenon) also contribute to their growing share in the world's Jewish population. While American Orthodox are but 10% of all Jews, among children, their share rises immensely: An estimated 61% of Jewish children in New York belong to Orthodox households, 49% to ultra-Orthodox. Similar patterns are observed in Britain and other countries. With present trends sustained, Orthodox Jews are projected to numerically dominate British Jewry by 2031, and American Jewry by 2058.

However, their growth is balanced by large numbers of members leaving their communities and observant lifestyle. Among the 2013 PEW respondents, 17% of those under 30 who were raised Orthodox disaffiliated (in earlier generations, this trend was far more prevalent, and 77% of those over 65 left). It is estimated that over 20% of those raised religious Zionist in Israel disaffiliate, and greater numbers adopt a secularized lifestyle and define themselves as "living on the spectrum (of religion)". Loose observance among young adults is common even when they retain formal affiliation.

Using a different passphrase for each key means you then have the problem of working out where to keep the passphrases. It is a little better in that the passphrase can be stored separately - and realising (compromising?) the asset requires compromise of both the passphrase and the protected key.

The number of entries you describe rather implies that you will need some automation over bringing the key and the passphrase together (e.g. a html5 application connecting to 2 different services with separate authentication).

Not quite.

If the baseline is that ads can provide enough revenue, and you're specifically paying to remove the ads, then that's a much smaller number. He has what, two ad slots, repeated at start and end? If that's $30 CPM at two per week, that's 26 cents a month.

The minimum subscription was $9.95 a month.

As somewhat of a tangent, I would like a way to pay $5 a month in a single spot and have it be apportioned to all the podcasts I listened to in that time, but that doesn't really exist as a service. Even though that's much more money than my listens are worth in ad revenue.

One could also see it the other way round: because of the importance of his figure people were more willing to keep their mouths shut and look the other way. Once the tipping point is reached, they don’t see any reason to do that anymore. This is why medival monarchs had jesters to tell them what is really going on.

The right thing to do of course is to speek truth to power openly and before everybody else does it, but this could come with serious consequences for the person speaking up. This is why they’d only do it once they are 100% sure they didn’t misread the situation, the thing that happened was actually big enough and they are willing to carry the consequences this could have for free software.

In other words: people in positions like Stallman can get away with much more than any regular guy, which means they should be extra considerate of their role and their environment if they care about the effects their own power and fame has on it. If it everybody steps up now, it means there was clearly a disconnect between his self image and what his environment thought about him.

> Isn't traceable capital (cheques, bank transfers, credit cards) as worth as liquid capital?

Theoretically, yes. In a country with unreliable power and wireless Internet infrastructure, no.

More critically, there are switching costs with digitising an economy. Dropping those out of the blue on the whole country simultaneously will knock out businesses.

Speaking as an outsider, demonetisation and the erosion of the RBI’s independence have been huge red flags for investing in rupees or in India. (Case in point: non-deliverable rupee trading in London recently surpassed spot trading in India.) That makes it harder for businesses to access international capital markets.
Is there any possible modern approach to a traditional catholic monastery? I think, they are dying out, because of their rigid traditions which rarely make sense in our modern world anymore. The idea of a monastery is to dedicate yourself completely to introspection and philosophy, and serving the monastery with its inhabitants, no matter what religion or philosophy. Why are they having so much trouble to keep up with changes? They just accept the changes without adapting? Why?

That's not the point: A bookkeeping system has to have certain properties in order to be able to make it through a tax audit. For example, once a transaction is entered, there have to be certain guarantees that the transaction can't just be deleted or meddled with afterwards. In the pen-and-paper era this was accomplished using special writing instruments. If your books were kept with a pencil or pen with erasable ink, you'd be in big trouble.

It sounds to me a bit like what the author is saying here is that, if the source code were to get out, then it would become common knowledge how to meddle with the accounting records using a hex editor and that, in turn, would be something that an expert witness in a court of law or a tax auditor would point out to attack the admissibility of the whole system.

But that's kind of bad. If the records can be meddled with in a way that would be known if the source code were to get out, then they can probably also be meddled with without the source code being public knowledge (just harder to figure it out), and that is almost as bad: Security-by-obscurity is probably not a valid defense against that allegation if it were to come up in court.

So, there should really be some crypto there instead.
