>He was also on amphetamines constantly. If I was on amphetamine all the time I’d get a lot accomplished as well.

He started taking them in 1971, because he was depressed. He was 58 years old at the time and had been extremely productive for his whole career before that too.
Oh absolutely. It's that smasher skill to edge out an advantage when the only real limit is input speed. Made those later "press X repeatedly to survive!" quick time type things super easy.

"Hastening the fall" when the fall happened nine hundred years later? I don't buy it.
Right. Lithium batteries won't cut it. That leaves geographically-dependent hydroelectricity, which isn't so easy to build. And then proposed solutions that are still in the prototyping phase, and aren't commercially available.
Apparently hnreplies supports https but does not do the http to https upgrade automatically, so here's the https link: https://www.hnreplies.com/
So now you're arguing that anything less than ~60% efficiency is unacceptable? Even for emergency backup or long-term power storage reasons?

You're at multiple layers of denial at this point. It's time to admit you were wrong.
> He is being called a transphobe because he wants English to contain a new word which is singular and non gendered because he doesn't think 'they' is appropriate since it has historically been collective. Since he uses his new invented word for this purpose, he is being called transphobic for not respecting peoples choice to use 'they'.

Am I missing something or isn't this exactly what neutral language folks do with their made-up pronouns (Xe/Xem etc)? So they singled out Stallman for doing the same?

Also, interesting to see another flagged thread that points to an article with strictly factual information from a very popular source here.
In my friend group, almost none of us are even slightly in touch with our high-school or earlier friends; I know some folks are in touch with childhood friends, but I don’t think it’s as common as all that.

All economies consist of labor and capital vying for resources.
Another happy long time user of NFS here.

Just thought I'd chime in to add my 2 cents, on the off chance that it helps someone here make an informed decision.

NFS is also great for small MySQL backed sites - for example your Wordpress blog or something similar.

Their pricing model is so transparent and predictable, and the support from Jeff and co is great (their documentation and FAQ is simply brilliant).

Also their domain registration and setup is a breeze - and they have great Whois privacy support.

These guys were doing pay-as-you-use pricing long before AWS came along. We still use (and love) AWS for our extensive production systems, but for simple hosting of smaller projects and / or personal websites, NFS is unbeatable.

Its combination of affordability and ease of use is simply the best.
> All economies consist of labor and capital vying for resources

Economies without property rights in capital do not. They may have other (and even more significant) problems, but they don't have that one.
You don’t think the Pragmatic Programmer books are valuable?
When I was working 48 to 72 hours a week as an EMT, I didn't find many of my coworkers to be "mediocre lazy donkeys." Far from it. They were kind and hardworking people. They were also frequently subjected to incompetent or inattentive managers who didn't both knowing the company policies and had to be constantly reminded to see employees as people. As a union steward I had to call managers several times per week to straighten out issues that should have required nothing more than common sense.

The reality of things isn't generally dramatic and hyperbolic, like you make out. Managers weren't looking for opportunities to screw people, and I wasn't looking for opportunities to make it harder to do business. They wanted to get on with their day, and I wanted to help my coworkers have good jobs. Evil? Come on.
Of course. I suppose the same caveat applies to hiring anyone who has significantly more education than experience, particularly when that person is hired into a management role, as new MBAs often are.

Also, very few have familiarity with management accounting or are versed in thinking about incentives, two traits that help prevent against the biases highlighted in the article.
I don't believe in the practice of Marxism, however I do believe that Marxism broadly calls correctly the issues society has.

Sure, we could burn hydrogen and drive a boiler like a coal plant. But that's not where this comment thread started.

> Those gas turbines you're referring to can simply be modified natural gas gas turbines

Sure, if you just want to run them for a short period of time and generate a lot more wear. If these turbines are so simple to modify, why does GE say that it won't be until 2045 that their turbines will be able to run 100% hydrogen gas?
Are you familiar with the term "moving the goalposts"?
The original comment is right. Cleary's books do often speak about children (and with children's voices) in a very adult manner. So do Roald Dahl's. For me this was fascinating as a kid, to see how we were viewed by adults and, wanting to be an adult, to see how that was viewed.

I have no problem with unions so long as membership is entirely voluntary for every employee. The problem I have is coercive collectivism.

Also, is there any evidence that collective action returns a sustainably larger slice of corporate revenues?
> Labor, Capital - jeez there's plenty of countries built on Marxist ideology you are advocating.

No, there aren't. There are plenty of countries built on Leninist (and it's descendants, including Maoist) ideology, which advertise themselves as being Marxist as well, but Leninism sharply deviates from Marxism on a number of key points largely because Marxism is grounded in the necessity of starting with mature capitalism, and Lenin wanted a shortcut for the USSR (and later movements following Lenin likewise sought to bypass, rather than develope through and from, mature capitalism.)

Also, recognition of the existence of the conflict within capitalism that Marx’s proposals sought to address isn't the same thing as advocating Marxism.
Two reasons:

1. The market for technology is driven by price/performance. It is why there is a 4K Vizio TV at $400 sitting next to a 4K Samsung at 10x the price, and both of them sell. Buyers purchase technology based on price and performance. Low performance, low price. High performance, high price.

2. The high end of the mobile phone is coveredeither tightly integrating the OS with the hardware (like Apple), or by building very powerful (and expensive) hardware for an off-the-shelf OS. The low end of the mobile phone market is covered by midrange performance Android phones. A low performance phone on an unsupported OS just will not cut it.
Hitting F5 after hitting F9 usually fixes this nicely.
I wish the NRLB would be much harsher against business owners and executives who engage in anti-union rhetoric and behaviors. People have the right to form unions, lying about losing benefits and lowering pay should be handled much more harshly, there should be actual penalties instead of just having to read a statement and delete a tweet.
Personally I am inclined to avoid the term "neurotypical". Although the term is popular, it is unclear what exactly it means, and the scientific basis behind the term is questionable.

That said, RMS clearly displays traits consistent with the broad autism phenotype (BAP). That's not a diagnosis because BAP is by definition not a diagnosis – it is defined as a subclinical condition, and by definition you don't diagnose subclinical conditions.
It's dumb enough that you might not take it seriously.

Yes, I'm familiar with moving the goalposts. It's exactly what you've been doing in this thread. First you claimed that existing natural gas turbines could be modified to run hydrogen. That hydrogen turbines usable for grid generation were off the shelf. After realizing that these turbines only burn a mixture of 30% hydrogen and 70% natural gas you moved to goalpost to saying, "we have experience with hydrogen turbines". I certainly don't doubt the latter - in fact I'm the who provided evidence of it! But that doesn't have much bearing on your first goalpost: that the existing fleet of gas turbines can be powered with hydrogen.

For the third time, if this modification is so simple why is GE saying it won't be until 2045 that its turbines will be able to run 100% natural gas? Hydrogen gas turbines are not off the shelf devices.
Stallman said pedophilia means before puberty. He wasn't talking about 13 year olds.

The Smithsonian article is based on the paper The Four Black Deaths [1] by Monica H. Green:

> The Mongols, whose empire emerged in 1206, unwittingly moved plague through Central Eurasia in the thirteenth, not the fourteenth, century. Grain shipments that the Mongols brought with them to several sieges, including the siege of Baghdad, were the most likely mechanism of transmission. The fourteenth century plague outbreaks represent local spillover events out of the new plague reservoirs seeded by the military campaigns of the thirteenth century.

ITT: How to hire formulaic robots and reduce an entire profession to paint by numbers. This is really no different to current hiring though. In that you force people to learn arcane algorithm skills they will likely never use at any software company and you end up with entire books written on 'cracking the interview' over being a good engineer. The best companies I've ever seen actually looked at the work I had done enough to assess what kind of skills I had. But hiring is about being lazy. Good luck finding many companies who will actually treat you like an adult these days.

> The constitution doesn't outline what a search without a warrant should look like.

Only because a search without a warrant is by definition not backed by any legal authority, and without legal authority the only way they get to do the search is with the owner's permission. A "search warrant" is nothing more or less than legal authorization to perform the search—whatever form that authorization might take. Any law authorizing a search would itself be a warrant (though perhaps an unconstitutional one), which implies that a law authorizing "warrantless searches" would be self-contradictory.
Unions don’t have to be adversarial...and it is often driven by management, as you are seeing here.

> I honestly don't understand it

It's easier to understand (I think) in the context of EEE and FUD. There's a reason why the big corporate players in the FOSS space - the FAANGs and Microsofts and the rest - prefer "open source" over "free software": they seek to control the movement, and want to leash it. The idea of users truly owning the software they use is antithetical to traditional corporate software development. Software freedom, in short, hurts their bottom line.

The smear campaigns against RMS and other free software advocates, the promotion of kafkaesque CoCs, the trend of ditching actual FOSS licenses for "almost" FOSS licenses, the constant push toward locked down hardware and opaque remotely-hosted software... these things are always wrapped up in what look like the best of intentions, but it's no coincidence that they consistently have corporate "allies" and consistently target anticorporate elements.

> Those gas turbines you're referring to can simply be modified natural gas gas turbines.

> It's past time to admit you were wrong.

Follow your own advice. You can't just feed a gas turbine hydrogen and run it as normal. Existing gas turbine manufacturers don't plant to offer 100% hydrogen gas turbines for decades.

Which is why most governments struggle with big IT projects.

Governments by their nature tend to approach everything from a legal perspective.

This then means the requirements of these big IT project end up being a mass of legal documents which try to describe what is being delivered by whom.

Then when the whole thing falls apart it ends up in the courts and the court then decides who promised what based on those original contract documents.

How to make Command Prompt launch from Start Menu directly into Windows Terminal
Project Treble is already fully supported by Qualcomm and other SoC vendors, that's not the issue.

The issue is that Treble simply shifts the compatibility issues from on from one layer (kernel) to another (Android HAL). There's still a compatibility horizon, because newer Android systems will eventually want to use newer kernel features and HAL APIs which were not present on ancient HALs which have been abandoned by the vendor.

And even if the OS could theoretically maintain backwards compatibility with older HAL APIs for 10 years, in practice the System + HAL combinations which aren't fully tested tend to break for various unforeseen reasons, making it unwise to push OS updates to devices which aren't fully supported by their vendor.

CloudFlare can be used for dns registration and management as well as ddos protection, ssl cert issuance, origin hiding, static hosting, edge computing, and more, all in the free tier. If you use something like namecheap, you may find the dns resolvers aren’t super great - eg. Changing a record may take 30 mins to propagate because they use higher TTLs by default, whereas CloudFlare’s anycast dns network usually propagates a DNS change where its testable on any network within 60 seconds. The downside of using CloudFlare for both your registrar and operationally is if they ever have an outage at the registrar tier you won’t be able to route to new nameservers. If you’re worried about that you can buy your domain through someone else but point at CloudFlare’s nameservers.

None of the issues brought up in connection with the controversy that came to a head with Minsky were grounded in truth, at all. The FSF would lose massive credibility by abandoning a visionary founder who did nothing wrong. For heaven sake, if you've already have a slam dunk case, you don't need to descend to the level of making up excuses or slandering someone to get them out. Speak up to authority, but be truthful, honest, and right. Don't wait until the backstabbing is good, and turn them into pincushions. Doing that taints the movement, because no one wants to work with a group of people who get rid of someone like that. It's cowardly, and wrong, in every way imaginable.
