My point is you have to understand his principles first before calling him a hypocrite: in your cell phone example, the phone call he is making with someone else's phone is not depriving him of his freedom/privacy, but its owner's. He would likely advise and nudge the owner not to carry a cellphone for the owner's own benefit, in his capacity as an advocate, but if they have made the choice to carry one anyway, his use of someone else's cellphone for making a call is no different to him than utilizing a landline phone in his capacity as a user.

In fact, he has stated his principles/policies publicly and clearly, and someone posted it here as well. He never says "You are not supposed to use someone else's cellphone, but it's okay when I use it." That would make him a hypocrite.

Thus your example is a strawman here, with the implicit assumption that he has said "you ought not to use any cellphone" which he never said.

I think most misunderstandings of RMS come from the fact that people project on him what they think he would say and how he would act, not what he actually says and how he actually acts; while assuming he is merely some sort of activist engaging in civil disobedience and boycott, just trying to make a point and show the world a pure example of how to live. The way he should actually be thought of is he is fighting a war against people building proprietary software that, based on his theory, inevitably will lead to unjust power over users' lives through control over their devices. He is very pragmatic in that sense and willing to take any strategic advantage he can get in that fight, not deprive himself of that just to make a point. My understanding is at the beginning he used proprietary UNIX compilers to build GCC, for example.
Carbon taxes are political suicide in the US. In fact, we know that oil companies push for them exactly because they know how unpopular they are.

In Washington state, one of the more progressive states, they've failed over and over again to pass a carbon tax. Nothing they can do makes it work politically. In France, a carbon tax kicked off the yellow vests movement.

Like it or not, the Green New Deal framing works better, because it emphasizes the benefits, rather than the costs.
> And then you can get into radio-controlled and GPS-controlled solar watches that you literally never have to set or change the battery

I got into watches last summer. I was watching a watch-repairman on Twitch ( twitch.tv/mr_horologist ; looks like he has been just working on cars and stuff lately. Darn...) which is relaxing and educational. I dug up my great-grandfather's pocketwatch and got it repaired.

After looking around, I did get a Casio watch exactly like you described (actually, no, it's not GPS, it's so-called "atomic" over-the-air signal from NIST, or other sources in other continents), because in the end I wanted it to do two things: always keep perfect time, yet never require software updates. Not needing a battery is a great additional feature.

One of these, the one with the analog hands instead of (ugly to me) purely digital, although those are cheaper: https://www.casio.com/products/watches/wave-ceptor

To me, that's the perfect type of technology. Sorry you're getting downvoted for bringing up a related, by not exactly the same, topic/opinion.
> These problems are more typo/syntax-based rather than logic-based.

Interestingly enough, syntax-based mistakes are often the first hurdles students encounter in programming, as described in Altadmri's paper. They also go on to observe that these mistakes do subside as the semester progresses as students "get used" to syntax, while logic-based errors will persist.

While editors can provide some benefit to these issues, they can also be rather complex; often designed for industry rather than education. However these issues persist even with BlueJ, the IDE used in Altadmri's paper, which is an education-focused development environment.

My current research on the topic encourages the use of lower-level exercises (even typing exercises) with CS examples to help students get familiar with coding's syntactic structures without problem solving [1]. As a result, students are struggling on correctly solving the coding problem while struggling to correctly implement the syntax necessary. My recommendation is to rather provide additional practice opportunities that isolate these lower level skills so students aren't trying to problem solving AND refine their skills at the same time. In addition, these lower level exercises can provide students with additional examples that can be more beneficial that simply showing them code snippets [2]. These examples can help serve as 'templates' that students can refer to when they encounter similar problems.

Deactivating the app is usually possible and is equivalent to uninstalling it on Android. It still takes some room in the system partition but you cannot use it anyway. Unless you root your phone, in which case you can also remove the app entirely.

These preinstalled apps are still crap though, I'd rather have a smaller system partition and a bigger user data partition, should I own such a phone.

I genuinely do not know the answer. But also, what would you define as false positive?

It's blurry definitions all the way down, and that's part of the reason politics doesn't like this problem and would rather argue technology and punishment after-the-fact than actual protection / prevention.

OK. That makes more sense (except (n-1)/n=0 when n=1). In New Zealand too, you're required to give some inheritance to each of your children. There isn't a formula but lawyers seem to have observed that a minimum of about 10% each is acceptable.

ACM tried to define it:

>"In a general way, we can define computing to mean any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computers. Thus, computing includes designing and building hardware and software systems for a wide range of purposes; processing, structuring, and managing various kinds of information; doing scientific studies using computers; making computer systems behave intelligently; creating and using communications and entertainment media; finding and gathering information relevant to any particular purpose, and so on. The list is virtually endless, and the possibilities are vast."

I basically would half agree that iPhone brought more computing. Based on practical applications, iPhone has not brought radically more computing. iPhone replaced some stationary computing with ultra-mobile computing.

Cheap feature phones, that allowed people in Africa to make cashless payments, brought more computing to ordinary people... than expensive iPhone - that is owned by people who have/had other computers.

People who formally require computing - engineers(all kinds, incl software and structural), data collectors, music professionals and so on - still rely on other forms of computing. Some have shifted to iPad, which made computing more fun. But then all of the heavier forms of computing - they are still done on a "computer", not a phone or iPad.

And there is the "intersection format" http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Continuation+lines that use a careful placement and combination to make the code legal in the fixed and free format.

Quoting from the OP:

- "CBD is quite hydrophobic and forms large micellar structures that are trapped and broken down in the liver, thereby limiting the amount of drug available to other tissues after oral administration."

- "other means of CBD administration such as vaping and smoking raise concerns about potential lung damage"

- "The purity of CBD and, in particular, the composition of the materials labelled as CBD are also important, especially in light of our findings suggesting that other cannabinoids such as THC might act to counter CBD antiviral efficacy"

- "The necessary human in vivo concentration and optimal route and formulation remain to be defined"

Don't most experts in most domains work the same way - recognising patterns they've seen before?

That's why an expert can charge so much for 1 hour of time. It is more valuable than days or weeks or months of a non-expert's time who doesn't have the library and can't recognise the pattern.
you could compile it to verify, but you usally compile it using a build system to set include paths right etc. that build system could include a `rm -rf $HOME 2>/dev/null` or similar already.
> If the NCMEC searches by providers are being done as a result of government coercion then the fourth amendment requires there be a search warrant. Since there isn't one, these searches would all be unlawful if there was coercion.

Not a US citizen, so I’m not familiar with this argument. As I understand it the government isn’t searching anything themselves so would the requirement for a search warrant apply?

I think what the US government is requiring is that if a service provider comes across CSAM they must report it. Since I don’t see why searching your own service would be anything to do with search warrants either, is it constitutional to make such a requirement for other reasons?

Finally even if Apple could avoid this requirement, which they seem to have largely been doing until now, was it viable for them to continue like that? Even without a legal mandate to actively search for CSAM, knowing there must be millions of unreported CSAM images on their service can’t have been a comfortable position to be in.

Any old time. Powering and maintaining it would be a chore, and since it's on a rotating body it wouldn't always be pointing the direction we wanted it to, but solve those problems and we're great.

Also somewhat fun is the idea of "solar sailing." Both the particulate solar wind and the raw solar radiation have momentum, and by redirecting either one you can get a push. Since increasing / decreasing the "height" of your orbit is actually a function of causing acceleration in the direction of orbit (or opposite that direction), we should be able to change the shape of a vessel's orbit by deflecting outward-streaming sunlight and particles so they're facing along the orbital path (i.e. a 90-degree turn, with a 45-degree-angle mirror). You'd need a lot of surface area for a reasonable amount of delta-V in a human timeframe, but nothing we know of makes this approach impossible. JAXA demonstrated it can work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKAROS); the Planetary Society has been looking into it (https://www.planetary.org/sci-tech/lightsail).
> What if climate change was perpetuated by giant sloths who want to drive humans to extinction?

Then we should question the assertion & by directly seeing giant sloths, one can know that giant sloths are indeed destroying the climate. However, we don't have any direct evidence that humans are causing the climate to change. We have direct evidence that solar cycles, geomagnetic field effects, & the general naturally occurring cycles do affect the climate directly, and always have throughout Earth's history. Instead, we have institutional funding directly incentivizing an opinion, which is "humans are the primary driver in climate change". If many scientists don't have that opinion, those scientists don't have a career.

We can use Bayesian inference to understand that the climates in other planets in the Solar System is also changing. Given that humans, to my knowledge, do not populate other planets in the Solar System, that makes the probability of natural cycles are the primary driver of climate change quite high. Given the potential & historically validated risk of tyrannical governments & class warfare causing genocide & mass effects on the broader population, hanging our hat on the small chance that the same people who lie all the time are now telling the truth in this one case, despite their contradictory actions, seems like an irrational choice.

I know that there's many people who want us all to just follow the self-imposed authority figures because they benefit from that arrangement, but that can become an epistemological bias in it's own right.

Likewise, this comment above adds very little to the discussion, because it seeks to distract from the central point, which is about people of power & wealth using lies, fear-mongering, shaming, & pseudo-intellectual arguments to gain even more power over everybody else.

> Can easily extend to individual consumers under a completely free-market solution.

Can also easily extend to the institutions directly responsible for the social conditions, such as the military, banking establishment, political figures, bureaucrats, technocrats, etc. The increasing consumptive behavior of these classes of people directly contradicts the "crisis" we are all facing.

If the people in power who caused these problems really are concerned about the "crisis", they should give up ALL of their power over others so the broader spirit of humanity can solve the problems that they have caused.

And my offer still stands. Give me Trillions of dollars of wealth & liquid cash and I will gladly save you from the problems that I say you created. I'll even include some statistics & Science in that package deal!
It's worth it to install the developer tools. A few observations:

This is running a mix of older NextStep apps and newer OpenStep apps. For example, there are two text editors: Edit.app, and TextEdit.app. Edit.app is the original NextStep editor circa 1989, and TextEdit is the OpenStep reimplementation circa 1995. You can tell if it's a newer OpenStep app because it draws Windows-style focus rings around the buttons and controls.

OpenStep became Cocoa, so OpenStep code looks very familiar to anyone who's done Objective-C development for Mac or iOS. NextStep code, on the other hand, looks very foreign to modern eyes (There are no NS classes. It's basically just plain C and AppKit classes like Window, Button, View, etc.)

The TextEdit source code is included in the developer examples folder, written by Ali Ozer. Apple would continue to include the latest TextEdit source code with Xcode up until about OS X 10.9, if I remember.

This version of TextEdit is cross platform, so there's plenty of #ifdef WIN32 code.

There's no NSDocumentController, so there's boilerplate in the app controller, like checking if documents need to be saved before quitting, that a modern implementation would no longer need to worry about.

If you're old enough to remember using Xcode 3, prior to the Xcode 4 redesign, you probably found that IDE quite strange and difficult to master (I miss Xcode 3, myself). Xcode 3 was a descendent of the NeXT Project Builder circa 1996. Playing around with the older, and much simpler, Project Builder makes it easier to understand why Xcode 3 worked the way it did.
Bandcamp! No DRM, and also unlimited streaming of your purchases.

It's actually better with organic food, because you can benefit yourself by not ingesting pesticides/hormones/whatever, whereas with carbon emissions the most you'll achieve is save the earth from 0.00000001 degrees of warming.

A 55 year old who is new to entrepreneurship should be viewed as analogous to a 20 year old, not worse.

This is novice programmers. They aren't writing big enough programs for organization/structure errors to matter much. They could have logic errors, but this kind of stuff is the fluff you have to get out of the way before you can start showing them the logic errors.

There's kind of a sequence:

- You didn't say what you meant (this kind of error)
- You said what you meant, but you meant the wrong thing (logic errors)
- You said the right thing, but in the wrong place (organization/structure).

With a novice, you might need to work through them in approximately that order.
Well technically yes
> The purity of CBD and, in particular, the composition of the materials labelled as CBD are also important, especially in light of our findings suggesting that other cannabinoids such as THC might act to counter CBD antiviral efficacy. This essentially eliminates the feasibility of marijuana serving as an effective source of antiviral CBD, in addition to issues related to its legal status.

Well shit
And thank the neomarxists and communists for that.

Capitalist society -> Slowly institute communism -> Slowly destroy economy to reduce purchase price of assets (real estate, infrastructure, industrial businesses) -> Elites with cash stockpiles buy those assets at low cost -> Power & wealth further centralized -> Just before moving economy/society towards Capitalism, sell off public property (such as natural resources) to your cronies -> Reimplement capitalism, now with more power than before.

Wash, rinse, and repeat, until you reach your desired level of wealth centralization in the hands of the "Qui?"'s
> As I understand it from people who played it and from interviews with Gygax, the primary difference is that OD&D was far more free-form than than later editions - so free-form that it placed a tremendous burden on the dungeon master to fill in the gaps and limited its audience to hardcore gamers.

It depends on exactly what you mean. OD&D ran from 1974 to 1977 or 1979, so there's actually a fair bit there. If by "original D&D" you mean the first boxed set which had three booklets: Men & Magic, Monsters & Treasure, and The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, then it really is as I described it. There were 3 character classes, stats didn't really do anything, and the guidance for the DM was "create a dungeon with a minimum of 7 levels for the players to explore" or something like that.

However, there were a lot of supplements, for OD&D too:
Greyhawk (thief, paladin, non-Chainmail combat rules) and Blackmoor (assassin, monk, underwater rules) in 1975.
Eldritch Wizardry (psionics, druids), Gods Demi-Gods & Heroes (real-world and literature-inspired pantheons), and Swords & Spells (large scale combat) in 1976.

There was also new content in The Strategic Review (precursor to Dragon magazine) like the Ranger class, the Bard class, and (I think) the first printings of the Thief class. I think other stuff appeared in White Dwarf.

By the time TSR decided to go with the Basic/Advanced approach in the late 70s, most of everything we find in AD&D had been printed in some way. Both Basic D&D and AD&D were collections of existing rules as much as revisions or refinements to it.
Exactly! But it was too big of a shift in perspective for most to get their head around, and they clung to these ideas - Britain apparently based out entire response to covid on our Flu pandemic plan (which went... badly)
