He pretty clearly isn't, although he probably believes himself that he is. E.g. he claims about giflib: “This is the library that renders GIFs in your browser […] Without it the modern Internet would be unrecognizable.” Except that no browser that I know of uses giflib (e.g. Chromium uses Skia's GIF decoder, which is WUFFS-based), and GIF clearly isn't an important format for the modern Internet anyway. Besides, giflib's latest release was in 2019, so how load-bearing is his maintainership anyway?

Similarly, he somehow seems to believe Android uses his gpsd and thus is “essential for Google Maps”, and it hasn't done so for at _least_ ten years, if ever; it was in one vendor's third_party directory at some point, but I don't think it was ever in Android proper.

Toronto will be opening 2 LRT lines this year/early next year. Works has also started on 1 new subway line, and a new subway extension. GO train expansion also continues with more service into and out of the city.

Montreal just opened the southern portion of the REM, a new automated train line, and work is well on its way to being done for the multiple branches it will have north of the currently open section.

Canadian cities (van, mtl, tor), despite not being “great”, do punch above their class in transit right now. (North America x population x wealth)
As someone who:

Had colon cancer

Was fired during my treatment

I'm very aware of how companies can try to discriminate against employees who are disabled. If Amazon tries to fire this guy for not meeting his "quota," then they also need to demonstrate that they've made reasonable accommodations. They also need to carefully document his performance issues. Juries are very amenable to a plaintiff suing for unfair dismissal.

Yes, this requires having enough money to hire a good lawyer, or finding one either working pro bono or willing to work on a contingency basis. Or finding an agency like the EEOC etc which will help with this.

The alternative is to just say "too bad" and let companies get away with this shit.

> The reality is we need advertising to enable discoverability

no we don't. i live a near advertisement free life, and its great.

no radio or tv, block all internet ads. the one ads i see are the ones in the physical world like billboards.

never once has an ad been the reason i "discovered" something, and i discover all sorts of new products/services naturally in my life.

if anything ads make actually make it so hard because they never can be trusted, often full of lies, and wading through all that to find the truth can be hard and is often why i don't actually go out and buy a new product cataogry.
it's not right or wrong.

If you have evidence to suggest that advertisements are inherently more manipulative than other types of communication feel free to share.
The amount of people here saying it's ok or even a long lifespan (?!) is shocking.

At college, around 2008 I had electronic circuit labs where we used Soviet oscilloscopes dating back to the 70s. They worked perfectly well (we couldn't read the Cyryllic, but after 10min intro you understand the knobs). And why wouldn't they work?

If Google is to retire hardware like this, they should either open source the full stack, write new OSS version of it, or refund the customers plus be fined in tens of millions for e-waste. (While they green wash).

My local glasses shop had this as an option, but only at a location that was a bit out of my way. Would have loved to try it, though!
I agree, that is a very silly example.
but in the end the outcome is the same. malicious or not, facebook blocks what it should not block and that in itself is the problem. it being a false positive is not an excuse. if they don't fix this it just shows that facebook doesn't care about false positives either.
College was where I learned how underrated chalkboards are; every lecture hall had them, and this wasn't long ago. No smell, no toxicity, quick erasing, reliable writing mechanism, precise writing.
Yeah, this is just so little evidence to simply come to the conclusion that Facebook hates EFF. The decision of blocking someone has probably many variables, previous posts, ip addresses, browsers, ...?

Some part of me wonders how is this even news? I guess "some person was blocked temporarily and that's all we really know" is not going to make it to the top of HN.

I love the EFF, but let's be honest: they're not a threat to Facebook. It's like the elephant thinking about the ant.

I would be overjoyed if someday that changes, but that still wouldn't be relevant to a flagging today.
Your analogy suggests that people often choose the lesser of two evils, which I agree with. If advertising is indeed "harmful", yet people still prefer it over paying, it suggests that the financial burden of paying might be perceived as more "harmful" to them. Similarly, in your analogy, people might choose to reside in a polluted city rather than face homelessness, as they perceive the latter to be more "harmful".
Buy a cheap pair and cut off the fingertips.
Exactly. It isn't really possible to discuss this without "copyright" and that is why RMS focused on that topic. Conventional commercial copyright in practice is making a monopoly of redistribution and then burdening the distribution cost with additional cost-recovery and/or profit-taking.

I charge for development of (F)OSS. It's my salary. My employer likewise charges the patrons/funding agencies. But we get paid once for the effort, like any usual labor contract. We don't try to get paid again when our past work products are copied.

In the old days, paying a distribution cost was more common for free software, when it actually took effort such as writing and shipping media. This handled the case where someone asked for a distribution, so that sharing did not become a financial burden. It's a mostly obsolete concept now with pervasive internet and many low cost or free hosting options to put content out there at essentially zero marginal cost to deliver copies.
But, to be fair, beer seems more filling than Coke.

My mom has told me how, when she was in college, sometimes she'd just drink a beer instead of having a meal, because it's filling enough and has enough calories to substitute a meal.
I think with Ginsberg, maybe she wanted to hang on until there was a Democrat President to fill her spot.
That's like saying "it's okay to ban food because a state banned raw milk". Obviously people are using and finding advertisements in Vermont, in a newspaper or in Google Maps.
No more does not imply equality, just that it's not greater than, which is simply the truth. Advertisements are not inherently more manipulative than words in general.

If the subject was propaganda, instead of advertising, then sure.

An AES key is symmetric. Both parties need it for this cryptographic operation.

The OTP key is separate from other keys that enable WebAuthn.

Also, please don't use Yubikey OTPs. While they can't be brute forced like TOTPs, they can be phished. There are better technologies to implement.
Ah, I think I was unclear. I specifically meant your reference to Equinox, because that seemed to me to be somewhat ML specific.

In general, I very much agree that "autodiff+autoparallel are really useful for any kind of numerical computation". And the use cases are also really common in my bubble. It's just that (imho) most people have not realized this.
Two of the authors (Korte, Vygen) also wrote a textbook on combinatorial optimization: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-56039-6. I haven't read it and I don't know enough about the subject to be able to say how useful the algorithms in the book are specifically for VLSI design.
You seem to be doing your utmost to go on tangents and make this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. I'm not sure why you won't answer the question.

Are you OK with you, your family, your friends, neighbours and the people in your community being paid less tomorrow than today?

Because that is what's happening right now in the US, and people are struggling because of it.
Innovation means more duds than hits and it should be encouraged at every level. For business critical applications, yes, there should be a well defined path, and in this case, I am sure there is.

People lose their head every time Google sun sets service. In some cases the criticism is well deserved but not in all. In this case, I am sure there is a path forward for the customers. Heck, they even refunded all costs for Stadia. Google goes well above and beyond what is expected in most cases.
They are refunding customers. And probably the thought, if we make the Jamboard offline, everyone will migrate to different solutions anyway. They could just open Android for them, and let any app run on it though I guess...
Most of the large (more than a few hundred meters) potentially hazardous asteroids are thought to have been found. However, there are some locations (relative to Earth's orbit) that are difficult to view from the ground, because you can only observe them at twilight. The best way to find those last remaining potentially hazardous asteroids would be to launch a space telescope to the Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 1.

In the grand scheme of things, this type of mission wouldn't cost that much, but so far, nobody has made the decision that making sure Earth doesn't get hit by an asteroid is worth an investment of a few hundred million dollars.
what would it cost to really begin it's next phase (rebuilding, not what amounts to a mausoleum that runs some classes)?

This is a good point, and shows why we need people like Stallman to press us on important but unglamorous issues.
I understand the stress, having been through it myself. I think that employees should have greater rights than they currently do, but that will take another generation of voters that didn't grow up with the veneration of business imbued by Ronald Reagan etc.

In my particular case, I've made extensive use of the ADA to make sure that I don't have to deal with any BS about bathroom breaks etc. Of course I work in IT so I'm pretty privileged compared to a guy slaving away in an Amazon warehouse.
It is not immoral to tell someone the bare facts of your offer. It is immoral to construct an advertisement, that is a carefully crafted message intended to manipulate the recipient. If your idea of an advertisement is a written text box or a person reading in a monotone voice the "speeds and feeds" and the price, then by all means, go for it. But if you think it's okay to imply without specifically saying it that your product has capabilities it does not, or to make the viewer experience emotional responses leading them to believe your product will make them feel better after you intentionally made them feel bad, then I would strongly argue that your advertisements are immoral.

To control your data you'd already have to have a notion of "data" and "control", and that's already lacking from most people's daily life. And when you do have those concepts swirling around in your mind, you'll still find that out of the people who feel they care about it, most don't know what they're doing, how they could change, or what they can do to affect any change. By the time you've informed and sorted everyone you ever talked to, to get to the people that care enough and want to control their data, you might be left with 1 or 2 people...
I'm not sure where the state of art is currently, but what about Homomorphic encryption? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption) Data that can be encrypted at rest while non-readable by the one holding it, while still being able to perform computations on it.

I'm not experienced/knowledgeable enough to know if it's feasible or not, it seems kind of immature at this point, but on the surface it sounds like something that can give more privacy than today where most things are clear-text, while still enabling the use case of hosting said data somewhere else.

There is Enum.reduce_while that I've used a couple times.

But I don't remember using while loops all that much (for loops/iterators, yes, but not while loops) in other languages.

I think I had a tougher time with the immutable stuff than anything else. I'd love to just update a map 3 levels down by saying thing.other.stuff = "new value" sometimes, but you can't. But overall it's nice to work with immutable structures.

Instead I either do a deep merge or use put_in(map, ["thing", "other", "stuff"]) but that doesn't always work as I expect.

If other elixir devs can set the record straight, I'd appreciate it :)

There is no solid line separating ads from other content. What about a positive review for a game? Is that not an ad because the reviewer wasn’t paid? But what if they got the game for free? Or what if their job relies on access provided by the game company (an indirect form of compensation)?

There are many other examples. It’s much more a matter of degree than just saying “ads bad”.
you know, I hear this sentiment a lot (linux desktop is now awesome!).

And it may even be true this time around (I love me some KDE).

But for me, it doesn't matter. Once I discovered i3 I just never went back, there is just no desktop that can compare to it.

Obviously I'm not your typical user, so this is an aside from a "nerd", but it's sometimes interesting not having a horse in that race anymore (I've been using i3 for 10-15 years I think at this point?)

>I believe that freedom must include the freedom to do even those things I disagree with personally.

In an ideal world sure. But I'm guessing Stallman made this license precisely so people can't "do whatever they want", which from a business standpoint is taking that code, modifying it in-house, and closing it off. Prevent a tragedy of the commons, so to speak.

Stallman didn't approach this as some idealist of "we make great code and everyone will share and progress society". Partly because tbf: open source was a lot harder to doiin his time. He came from an angle of trying to combat proprietary software. That's why he didn't make the MIT license (even if it preceded him, I'm not sure).
People should say what they mean. I waste a lot of time on here arguing with people who actually DO believe their ridiculous statements, so it's always nice in cases such as this where it's discovered later that they were speaking "colloquially" (in other words, imprecisely)
huh? wouldn't all the planes with AESA radar dispute this characterization?
This would seem consistent with his pre-Web thinking.

For example, IIRC, he tried to organize a contest on behalf of the Internet/Usenet, in which all the computer companies would compete to see who could assemble the best "dream" Unix workstation. IIRC, the unusual thing was that, for his part in facilitating this, he would receive one of the dream workstations personally.

(Which, at the time, rubbed me the wrong way, because it seemed like other Internet/Usenet projects were done more volunteer-like. But in hindsight, or at least in today's cultural conventions, someone being upfront about wanting a consideration for their effort on a project seems perfectly reasonable. It just seemed unusual to me as a kid, in the hard separation at the time, between the techie non-commercial Internet altruistic utopia we could imagine at times we were creating, and whatever different world the stereotypical MBAs would like so that they could grab wealth and power disproportionately.)

Regarding this new thing, ESR might not need the money today, though he might like to be more back in the center of things, and/or to have a positive impact. In early Web times, business wanted to pick up Linux, etc., and he became an "influencer" for open source -- maybe a figurehead, like "here's the counterculture perspective, and you can work with him; now go at it, business types" -- helping to adapt RMS's mission in a way acceptable to business. So he got a windfall when the Linux IPOs were happening: https://news.slashdot.org/story/99/12/10/0821224/esr-writes-...

Advertisements are no longer "we make stuff. Come here to buy stuff".

It then progressed to "people who buy our stuff feel good". But that wasn't all.

Then it progressed to non-spoken feelings when in proximity of thing.

And it turns out, that you can manufacture want of your good or service. And if you gatekeep the emotions of good, wholesome, fresh, clean, happy behind your product, you can tell people they're horrible trolls unless you buy and consume.

But even those tactics weren't enough. Now, most sales are in tech related stuff. And instead of telling people over advertisement channels, now they get pushed to your devices.

And the current stage, also known as enshittification, is also cloud-tying to guarantee captive consumers, so they can't easily leave. Cloud is the ultimate hardware and data roach motel.

So yeah, looking at the recent history of advertisements is just broken, unethical, shits on the environment, and assails human thoughts just to sell more garbage.
Historica: The Digital Footprint of Human History Using AI's Artistry
So far, crypto has gone through multiple market cycles lasting about four years each. At the peak people get euphoric and think it will solve all the world's problems, then in the trough people think it's all on its way out - that it will slowly fade out of public consciousness until it's forgotten. I believe the reality is somewhere in between.

But one thing is for sure: during the trough of every cycle, there's always someone posting that they wonder if crypto is dead and never coming back.
