If you need “evidence” for that you are pro-paedophilia, a child cannot give consent to an adult in order to have sex, this is like an axiom of our society. He questioned that young lady’s testimony (Giuffre I think she is called) by saying: “the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing“. When you throw in a “plausible” just to whitewash your dead friend you are pro-rape.

This whole conversation has left a really bad taste for me regarding the HN community, it really sickens me when I see that so many users in here are trying to justify pro-paedophilia quotes, I thought that the lowest this community went was when it witch-hunted a poor guy after the Boston terrorist attack some years ago, but this is on a new other (and sicker) level.
I think that's an odd definition of bias. Bias is just a prior inclination to believe P rather than not P. P may or may not be true.

In any case, that's the kind of bias that's relevant to this discussion.
> I don't really see an increase in autonmous driving will decrease tickets.

This seems like you are thinking 1-2 years from now. I'm thinking 10-20 years where the vast majority of cars will be autonomous-capable and most people won't bother wasting their valuable time driving manually, just like we don't have professional elevator operators anymore.

And FWIW, about 95% of the surface of a freeway is empty at any given time. Fully-autonomous driving allows each vehicle to safely drive closer at speeds and to use less slack during slower traffic. If anything, a human driver should thank autonomous cars for increasing traffic density while maintaining the same speed. Humans are the ones that cause lots of slack in traffic.

> pissed off drivers cutting you off

Not a wise move when fully autonomous cars are wired with cameras facing every direction and recording capability.

Then again, I can imagine the inverse effect of this article where autonomous car owners are paid a revenue-share for reporting evidence of a traffic violation (like being cut off by a pissed off human driver).
> for creativity, it’s important to be able to think and express yourself without always needing to second guess yourself. And I think we’re creating a society where everyone has to always second guess everything they think and say in case they accidentally say something that may bring in the outrage mob

It's funny you should say this. This is one of the defining traits of Stallman in my memory. He would go out of his way to get loudly outraged about relatively trivial things that others would do. Email out asking for responses to a survey and reward people with Amazon gift cards? He would attack you for supporting the evil corporation Amazon, often derailing the original thread. Share an interesting article/webpage/project? He would attack you for not offering a javascript-free option. Set up a video-based experiment in the lab? Better make sure Stallman doesn't see that camera and disable it/make a huge scene about his privacy being infringed upon.

You reap what you sow I guess.
This one of my top Go complaints as well (and I love the language).

If Foo implements interface Bar (Baz() error, Moo() string), then I should be able to pass in []Foo to an argument expecting []Bar, because the former is a slice of a type Bar. The compiler should be a good compiler and do the needful to manage args.

All I can expect do on the called side is iterate through the slice, and call the interface function on each element. That sounds contractual to me :-).

To play devil's advocate a bit:

Consumers don't want to spend more for appliances. They want cheap. That's why manufacturers build the way they do (if you want quality over 20 years you're already free to buy a Miele)

It is rare for an appliance to break down when just out of warranty, and in any case it is not possible to completely avoid.

I am glad that the new rules do not go farther then they do because I don't think there is an issue that warrant drastic action and widespread price increases.

There are plenty of ways to source spare parts and individuals are simply not able to repair themselves in most cases (and let's not forget health & Safety regulations).

Edit: Thank you guys for killing off any discussion...

Yes. She should be fired for this opinion... though perhaps that would be too lenient, given how much suffering her opinion caused?

He did do that, in fact. He just didn't do it in the specific place you're looking.
Borrowing if you have no choice, and lending if you know it's wrong (according to your religion) are two different things. Many people participate in the shit system they find themselves, without trying to make the system worse. I'd say this doesn't just apply to interest, but all sorts of things. Climate activists acknowledge that plastic and consumerism are bad for the planet, and yet the vast majority continue to purchase and use products that rely on pollution, single use plastic, and resource waste.
They can remove the records from all their systems and argue that the public Blockchain is outside their control.

Or maybe they argue that transactions are not personal data because they are from wallets not linkable to an individual after the company has deleted the information required to link a wallet to a person.

For me Vinyl never was about the sound, it was about having to actively take out the thing of a beautiful cover and put it on and listen to it. I could esily imagine something that would do the same with a digital storage.

That aside: there are all kinds of modules in modular synths — digital, analog, hybrids, electromechanical stuff, ...
The first thing people ask me when they see me playing somewhere is usually: “is this analog?” or “how do you know which cable do what”

The redeeming quality of a modular synth lies mostly (nomen est omen) in it’s modularity. It is however very physical in a sense: if you didn’t create a connection it doesn’t exist.

in Nginx HttpRequest/HttpResponse are larger abstractions but the "real fun" will happen at the buffers, where you will end up mostly manipulating bytes on the buffers.

The fact that we are creating arbitrary abstractions to represent data and imposing to others is actually the core issue here.

Supose we could set up the representation for the most things as a matrix. colors, words, sound, etc..

Than you can filter and process applying linear algebra, ML, etc..

I fell that the way we pack bytes, in arbitrary fashion, by mixing types is a core impediment for us to have a better experience with the program/data duality.

But i guess that all of this data centered, AI focused world will make us understand a better way to deal with both programs and data. The need to make our ML agents understand our world will probably change the way we deal with code and data.

As far as I'm concerned this (the whole controversy, not this individual moderator resigning) is good for the internet. Stackoverflow has been a fantastic resource, but concentrating all the "knowledge-power" (for lack of a better word) into the hands of one entity and hoping they remain benevolent has always seemed dangerous. I've been expecting something like this for years. Especially it they are adding a CoC, that always seems to be a clear signal of decline in a project.

Hopefully some new sites (with better culture) will start up and we can consign stackoverflow to the internet archive, or force SO to become competitive again.

But there is not the consumer alone.

Also bear in mind that it involves technology which hasn’t been sufficiently developed yet, technology which would make ground-based solar power cheaper (robotic assembly, beamed power), and that even with the relevant technology the ground station (whose costs are necessarily not impacted by lower launch costs) is more expensive on its own then an equivalent ground PV system including the cost of a battery for nighttime power.

Mosh is really awesome. But I disagree with "tmux is the new [GNU] screen". That's like "clang/LLVM is the new GCC". It might have some new features which you might need (such as the LLVM infrastructure, or for tmux the vertical window split which is preserved during detaching), but for many use cases the "old" software is still fine. For the presented one here, GNU screen does exactly the same fine job as tmux can do.
As a non-neurotypical person, I will have to honestly say that teaching autistic people ""appropriate"" social behavior is comparable to abuse, steaming from the unwillingness of neurotypical to accept something that is not them and consider logic above their feelings for once.
Such person is then not suitable for leadership position nor any position where communication matters. The way leaders interact trickle down and creates culture. People mimic leaders more then we care to admit.

And when you put such person in position where women have choice between leaving and being undermined by his behavior or being insulted or have to work around potential danger to reputation etc or what it is that he was doing, you are in fact disadvantaging women in that organization. You dont get to claim there is no sexism here nor claim that it is all meritocracy nor fair nor babble about natural self selection.

It makes not just women leave, it makes men who dont care about being members of such culture to leave.

For the record, a person that mistreats males would be same case.
This flattening needs to stop. RMS didn't harm anyone, he stated odious opinions most people disagree with. There is, in addition to the email thread, accusations of past toxic behavior. The article these comments are attached to dispute that or at least suggest that it may in part be due to him being neuroatypical. In fact, it directly disputes one of those anecdotes regarding a sexual joke attached to his door. This aside, I've heard enough he-said-she-said-they-said to feel like I really don't know the full story wrt actually toxic behavior beyond rms merely being unpleasant and pedantic, and it probably isn't fair at this point to make a call on it.

I'll repeat what I said above, this is why his ouster should have been through a fair hearing rather than in a hurried response to public intrigue.
Stallman has made everyone uncomfortable. Have you ever met the guy? But that's not a good excuse for firing him.

This article was worth it just for "determined to leave no tern unstoned."
I was there, and part of it.

You may find it hard to believe, but there were lots of young women who were just extremely promiscuous. Just as promiscuous as the young men were. Free sex was a political statement. A form of rebellion against the status quo. And of course, it was enabled by the ready availability of antibiotics and hormonal birth control.

"Local accounts" is perfectly apt name. "Local accounts" doesn't come close to implying "can't join the internet" either, although "offline accounts" might.

Still none of this really justifies burying the option deep and using vague terminologies to hide this feature. Case in point: I had to google search the procedure to create a local account when I wanted to create an account for guests/others that use my laptop.

The pain point about telemetry is that Windows is a paid product and there shouldn't even be such a thing in a product that people pay for. And although there might (now) be settings to control telemetry, what good are they when Windows updates reset all settings regularly?
i dont really think anyone cares if somethings been copy/pasted as long as it works as it should, the most talented engineer i ever met told me theres no need to be ashamed of it, theres no point reinventing the wheel if you dont have to, and he was right if youve been able to adapt something else to your task then evidently you understand what it does.

lets say youre building a car, maybe you take the engine from a ford and mount it on the chassis of renault with nissan steering, just because you didnt design those parts from the ground up doesnt make the end result any less valid as a final product (obviously thats a very loose analogy but you get the picture)

software is a bit different though, rather than showing that you followed a rigorous formula its about letting people know how the formula you came up with works
Act I - The Offer:

I knew what I was getting myself into. There were red flags, but I chose to ignore them for the sake of a huge equity offer.

Act II - Council:

Snap starts every employee’s onboarding off with some real hippy type of shit. The aforementioned hippy shit can continue into your regular employment if you so desire, which I did not.

Act III - The First Months:

For the first ~1/2 year at Snap, I was mostly isolated on a handful of projects where I became the sole maintainer, and rarely got to interact much with other engineers or my manager.

Act IV - The Phantom Resident:

When I worked for Snap in Venice, we occupied a beach-front condominium with a likely fictitious resident who supposedly slept in our “conference room” to meet zoning requirements.

Act V - Moving to Santa Monica & ADA Semi-Compliance:

The Snap Santa Monica offices were pretty standard big tech office fare. Miniature “phone booth” meeting rooms raised the ire of building inspectors over ADA compliance, and the company implicitly encouraged employees to continue using the non-compliant facilities while replacements were acquired.

Act VI - The John Months:

I needed to stay until at least the following February to vest the first 10% of my stock grant, but it was proving difficult to keep going. A friend on the customer ops team, Nate, offered to have me transfer over and work on their projects full time, and after receiving assurances that I would be able to travel around the holidays and work remotely I jumped on it.

Act VII - The Team Change Switcharoo:

I went through with the team change to customer ops, but for HR purposes I ended up technically reporting to an engineering manager on a different team. Nate, who was going to become my manager under the original plan, didn’t take this news well, but I didn’t mind. The work on the new team proved enjoyable and the stock price even started to recover as I began vesting my stock grant.

Act VIII - The Beginning of the End:

I got a hatchet job of a performance review from my time working for John, and Nate left the company which put me in a tricky situation. I ended up truly joining the team I was technically a member of, and began integrating more into their work alongside my own.

Act XI - The End of the End:

Remember the agreement I made with customer ops about working remotely around the holidays? My new team decided they weren’t going to honor it, and didn’t let me know about that until just a few months before I was planning a trip.

Act X (The Finale) - Dealing With The Fallout:

I couldn’t find any way around the predicament I was in, and had to leave the company. Despite some minor depression symptoms I managed to find a new job and walked away from what would have been a life-changing amount of money.
...actually, the stuff you are saying is precisely the kind of thinking that will turn somebody who is merely unattractive into somebody who is creepy as hell.

Exhibit A: Physical unattractiveness pairing off with acting like you're not unattractive, perhaps because of some misguided Disney-movie philosophy about how self-confidence makes you attractive. Somebody acting like Johnny Depp when they look like Patton Oswalt is pretty much the definition of creepy, while somebody acting like Patton Oswalt when they look like Patton Oswalt may be perfectly acceptable.

Exhibit B: Up until this point of the conversation, attractive/unattractive was in reference to the presence/absence of factors that make women uncomfortable when being around you, which does not really extend very far into the sexual realm. And all of a sudden you start talking about bonding, longing, unfulfilled desires, flirting, playing the game, hurt feelings, etc. That is precisely what women want men in the workplace to steer clear of, when they look like Patton Oswalt.

I rest my case.

> they still come to me and ask me to tutor them, rather than our parents or a private tutor.

I wouldn't read too much into it... there's often times other factors involved. Just because you are a sibling and not a parent might be reason enough, at some age, to prefer you; and by college, it may already be a habit.

(not sure about the "private tutor' part, have they actually tried that, and was the tutor ok? because normally that's what a kid would prefer, since he/she doesn't feel the need to challenge the tutor's authority. Maybe a really poor experience/ personality mismatch with one private tutor? ).
