This is one of those amazingly insightful things sort of hiding in plain sight. There is some plain wisdom right here.

Could you say that such a system essentially devolved into FPTP in the case of the Nazi's at that time? Due to a lack of unified opposition?
Is there a formal definition for what '175% faster' means?

Does '100% faster' mean its the same speed or twice the speed? Is '175% faster' 1.75X, 2.75X, 175X, or something else entirely?
What you're saying sounds like it makes sense, but it is essentially the same as saying that people simply can't control themselves, which is bullshit. Yes, sometimes people have trouble with self control, and definitely those people should stay away from temptation, or be kept away when their lack of control would endanger somebody else, but my experience around people who harbor all sorts of fantasies --sexual or otherwise-- is that for the vast majority of them it simply isn't a problem.

It's like, you ever see someone you think is really attractive and internally you're like "man, I'd really like to tear their clothes off..." but of course you don't because you know the difference between right and wrong? It's pretty much just that. You might even go home and masturbate to tearing that person's clothes off, it isn't a big deal.

And while it doesn't seem related with our contemporary sensibilities, people used to say what you're saying about gay people. They wouldn't want one near their kids, they shouldn't be camp counselors, etc. Of course, today that doesn't fly because being gay has nothing to do with being a child molester, but the point is that people link having "perverted" thoughts directly with being a danger to children regardless of if those thoughts even actually involve children. And while it is true that the perversion of pedophiles is much more directly related with child molestation, I don't think it is any more fair to assume that they are actually dangerous to anyone.
In many countries they may only do that if its relevant to the job. A fraud may not get a job as a banker and a sex offender may not get a job at a school but a fraud can get a job as a teacher and a sex offender can get a job as a banker.

If these people really are too dangerous to be around others at work, why are we letting them out in the public to begin with?
Evidence emerges of 'brand new' physics at CERN
You know what, now that I think about it you're probably right. I think that the story just played into my feeling of a small team being able to carefully navigate where a large group takes on a mind of its own, and usually for ill. That's true in my experience for some things, but in space? With no backup? Probably doesn't carry over.
South Puget Sound. Prices have gone up since 2008. The last five years, at least, have been double digit percentages. 2020? 19.1%. I have friends who bought in 2014 at $250,000 now selling their homes for $600,000+.

Perhaps that's true on average, but there are some very cold places in Japan and the housing is the same there as I understand it: built to last 20-30 years.

For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahikawa#Climate
Lots of talk here in the comments about supply and demand, cool, I get it. But how about we worry about that after everyone has access to a stable shelter that they can live in. Housing should be a human right, nobody deserves to live on the streets or have to fork over all their money in order to be housed and have to worry about putting food on the table. The obsession with investments, wealth, and power is leading to people suffering. So how about we stop obsessing about investments, wealth, and power until everyone can live their life with dignity and not have to worry if they'll have to sleep in the gutter or not.
Facebook, Uber, and Microsoft plan to start bringing employees back to offices
I get it, but seems WAY easier to have an opensource friendly routing running a linux kernel (with OpenWRT or similar), then push the hard parts to an access point.

That way you can get 4x4 MIMO, 802.11ac, 802.11ax/wifi-6, etc and when there's a new version you don't have to replace your router to get it. Doubly useful if any future needs might include needing a second AP.
Yes, the the customers pay more money than the drivers get, but from that difference Uber must pay the salaries of all their software developers, they must pay for infrastructure, they must pay for app development, product managers, hr, etc.

Cloudflare pages. The only real limit on the free plan is "500 builds / month". Simple is relative, of course, but if you're a developer, you'll likely find it simple, and it does fit your "deploy with a single command" requirement. https://pages.cloudflare.com/

You can also tie it with the free plan for Cloudflare Workers if you have some need beyond static pages.
Everything on the application processor is open source (think your laptop running debian.)

The only thing that could break are the radios (wifi,bt,modem) becoming incompatible with the networks they communicate with but they're separate components anyway and the modem speaks a standard protocol so I'm sure it could be replaced.

I have tried meshroom too, the result is equally bad.

> With all due respect (and not saying these groups have overlap) there is a notable presence of people on Hacker News that minimize the danger of or encourage drug experimentation, if not regular drug use.

I think a better way of describing it is a continuum of belief around drugs. Most people aren't talking about caffeine or alcohol when they say "drug use" but those are indeed psychoactive drugs as well.

"All drugs are wrong, but some are useful." is perhaps a useful model for thinking about it? (Not that I think drugs are wrong, just that nothing, and I mean nothing, in life is without cost in a cost/benefit analysis.)

All substances we ingest, from distilled water, to table salt, to a cup of coffee, broccoli, a beer, a cheeseburger, morphine, or methamphetamine have various effects, long term and short, on our bodies, and we should understand those effects as best we can before we ingest any of them.

I've seen ketamine save people's lives, and I've seen it destroy people's lives. Same with firearms. Sharp tools are a good thing, on balance, in my opinion, but should be wielded with knowledge and understanding in order to be safe.

Is there a OpenWRT port for it?
RMS has done some great things, and remains a tireless watchdog for certain principles-- buuuttt... in various ways, he's been alienating tons of people for decades, including some of those people I'd say were very aligned with FSF goals. That trail of alienation has long seemed counterproductive, and now has escalated.

I'd like to think that some sufficient change of behaviors, and a sort of reconciliation with those hurt or alienated, could happen. FWIW, although RMS is incredibly tenacious when he thinks he's right, in the past I've seen him change his opinion when an argument manages to persuade him. Perhaps there are some people who are intellectually up to finding arguments that persuade RMS, and who are willing to reach out to him, and invest in difficult conversations. We should be able to have dialogue, to understand, to change, to reconcile. This could be a very positive next chapter in a noteworthy history, as well as a timely example (given some current divisions in the US) that noble ideals we held about dialogue can still sometimes work.

Until that dream happens, at the moment, it seems like the current situation will cause further damage to libre software goals.

True. Non technical managers can get in the sea. They're protecting their asses 99 percent of the time. Those who can, do.
> Society doesn't owe people anything besides freedom

That's one opinion, and it's far from universal even in your country, though it seems to be popular. From the outside perspective, the fact that it seems to be shared by a portion of population this large is deeply mistifying. Edit: I mean, if that's all, then that's a pretty bad deal - a society can tell you to go die in a war, hang you, starve you, make you work to pay for an ever-growing army of officials, and you get out of it just "freedom"?

> and paid for it.

Yes. That's what I said. The OP, though, wants to make him keep paying for it forever. Which is another seemingly popular, yet incredibly disturbing opinion that I can't identify with.

> self righteous people

Thank you, I'll take it as a compliment.
> If fewer than all employees can be absorbed, some are there by necessity, and are therefore coerced.

Not one single employee is coerced. Any one of them can today choose a different employer.

As already pointed out, your argument rests on the fictional situation where all of the employees leave simultaneously. Of course this is absurd, and obviously not reality.

This has no bearing at all on any of the employees who are there right now.

None of them as of this time are facing a situation where there are no other jobs.

You can claim they are coerced when there really are no other jobs. Until then, you are wrong.

Have you seen the sunxi project?
Some of it turns into electricity, some of it is wasted (turned into heat). And the whole point is that the electricity gets used at some point, turning into heat, computation (heat), light (heat), or motion (heat). And of course, you also have transmission losses (heat) along the way!
You say Factorio isn't a game about shooting things, yet probably the best way to be useful to a team game you've just joined is to fill your inventory with rails, drills, and combat equipment and then point useful at the nearest unexploited ore patch and go forward until all the red spots between the patch and the factory are gone. Doesn't prove anything about your programming ability, but since the factory is always gonna be running out of some resource anyway you'll be perceived as useful
Seconded. I offered a container to many friends but very few actually take me up on the offer. Server communities are fun, why pay a stranger when you can build something with a friend?
Good luck to anyone dealing with something similar.

My wife had a charge held against her even though the trooper knew he lacked probable cause. The state police say that's fine and the trooper is allowed to do that. The DA and the courts don't care.

Until the system becomes accountable to the people, it will continue to act as an oligarchy and crush us peons.
That's.... a lot.
> which then becomes way more complicated than in a language like Rust which has all this by default.

Um, no:

1. Manual memory management doesn't have to be complex at all - and is arguably much easier to reason about than garbage collection, even if it's more error prone / less guaranteed-to-be-safe

2. Rust's manual memory management (i.e. the default kind of memory management in Rust) is of at least the same complexity as any other sort of manual memory management - if not more due to the need to be explicit around lifetimes and borrowing.

The memory management strategy is regardless orthogonal to whether there's a VM involved; there are garbage-collected native languages (Lisp, D) and not-garbage-collected VMs (WASM, or languages like Perl and Tcl if you count reference-counting as "not-garbage-collected") galore.
I mean, that seems to be the result, yes? The intent is to compel device manufacturers to release the source of their drivers, but at this point, I think we have to admit that's not a great description of what's happening in the mobile space.

This is very good visualization but I'm very surprised by how the author didn't understand that the 2020 cars had their prices set by the monthly payment or by the down payment rather than the total price of the vehicle, since all of the postings would be by dealerships.
What anybody wants is the other way around though. If you want to run Windows 95 on modern hardware you run it in a VM; running it on bare metal isn't that interesting.

And the current versions of various Linux distributions do run on 25+ year old PC hardware, if you really want to.

The solution is to stop debasing our currencies by printing insane amounts of money, as the parent poster is implying. If the goal was to create higher-quality goods every year rather than cheaper, lower-quality goods then the market would naturally develop this way. But we are constantly forced to reduce quality to maintain profitably in an easy-money world.

As an example of how this affects the real world, notice how the prices of good things - high quality meat, cheese, seafood, housing, education, healthcare - continue to rise every year well above the supposed “true” rate of inflation.
Not all battery storage needs to be electrochemical - hydroelectric dams work amazingly as pumped storage batteries (although site specific).
I carry both a reMarkable and a Rocketbook with me -- the e-ink tablet makes taking notes super easy, but, the rocketbook is great for sketching and coming up with arch drawings and the like.

I can quickly turn the RocketBook sketches into pdfs and send them to the reMarkable for further processing...but, I love the flexibility between the two, and honestly, the reMarkable fits in the pocket off my RocketBook...so it's not difficult to carry both.

The more that I use reMarkable, the more I fall in love with it, but, I wish I could find a way to make my own templates.

A 21% efficient solar panel reflects about 9% of the light, turns about 60% of it into heat immediately, and turns the other 21% into heat shortly afterwards, perhaps somewhere else, when the power the solar cell generates is dissipated by, for example, an electric motor or lightbulb.

>if you are a large company wanting the FSF to be less relevant, you should probably encourage them to let RMS alienate more people.

Perhaps they want to steer the direction of the free software movement to be more corporate friendly, i.e. get people to write software for free but none of that pesky copyleft stuff. More directly, there is an optional "or any later version" in the GPL, so if they can get the FSF to make the next version of the GPL more corporate friendly that also includes a lot of existing software (although I don't know how popular this clause is in practice).
Yeah I do this for anything that's both important and complicated - it can be a slow process for me, but when typing things up I'll usually end up further refining my thoughts and coming up with new ideas, in addition to the benefits you mentioned.

Although my handwriting is also hilariously bad, so it's kind of necessary for anything I anticipate needing to closely review in the future.

Yeah that's the BS that I don't buy from the pacifists... "we spend 10x Russia!!"

But yeah, Russia has a nuke deterrent and could use that to force a land war in Europe at the same time that China launches an attack on Taiwan and North Korea launches an attack on South Korea and Iran attacks Saudi Arabia.

How could the US military respond effectively to all of those at once? Each of those countries wants to carve out their sphere of influence. Once a short term victory is in the pocket for each of them, there is diplomatic negotiations to end fighting and then the new facts on the ground materialize and now 1/2+ the world is under autocrats again.

I also used/loved NFSN, but I have a habit of neglecting pages for years. I have had more than one site go dark for months before I realized they’d run out of budget. Now I use GH pages so I don’t have to think about it.

I'm not sure where point 1 comes into play - membership on the board of the FSF is not a compensated role. He wasn't hired for anything.

Also, the FSF staff unionized in 2004 to protect themselves from RMS [1] [2], and the only concrete action the FSF has taken since Saturday [3] - presumably because of union pressure - is to elect a union-chosen member to the board. I believe that the staff of the FSF should also be allowed to find work, and if the staff is effectively saying (and has been saying for almost 20 years), we cannot do our jobs because of this guy, then we get into a much harder problem than can be addressed by the simple principle that everyone should be allowed to find work (a principle I agree with in the abstract).

People use way too much power for battery storage to be viable. The average household consumes 28.9kwh in a day (in 2017), which is way more than rooftop solar can provide.

I want to be clear - is the problem that he has any public opinions outside the realm of free software, or that they are unpopular opinions? Because it seems to me that voicing unpopular opinions is basically what Stallman has always done, and it seems... I don't know, "capricious"? to laud him for this when we agree and condemn him when we disagree - and not just condemn as "wrong", but as badly behaved and unworthy of being a public figure. Stallman hasn't changed, only society's tolerance for views outside the mainstream - which seems like the wrong direction to me.

I say this as someone with some sympathy for at least some of the things he has said in your copious list; my reluctance to specify which things indicates a problem with public discourse today, I feel. (Although even if I did not feel uncomfortable, I also would not want to sidetrack this thread into a political debate)

These don't seem related. I happily base my identity around my work. I don't care about my coworkers personalities or inclinations at all, as long as they're not assholes and they're competent.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by identity? I don't hire people because I want them to be friends.
