If you work remotely, you can relocate to a much lower cost of living area. This way you can get much more space, including a dedicated office. This also can lower costs enough that only one parent has to work, making the other available to

It's funny that you described wfh as "robotic" yet you literally have to use robot assisted noise cancellation in your office. I don't mean that to be snarky, just an observation. I find wfh much more "human" a

The problem is that a lot of people are productive WFH but until very recently, this contingent had little to no sway or voice. With the pandemic, for the first time there's a major shift to WFH and now some companies want to start r

Between FLoC and AMP, Google's attempts to destroy the web have surpassed even IE levels of toxicity. It's good to see the consumer focused forks of Chromium take a stand here.

The parent comment had no more sourcing than my comment, I'm not sure why you're singling my comment out. Yes the Rothschilds fit my description, but I'd argue anyone who maintained generational wealth in the time of coloniza

The current trend is record breaking wealth inequality. We already have rampant inflation in the form of housing, education and health care costs. It's an unsustainable situation near its breaking point.

Their formula was being wealthy enough to float above war, upheaval, regime change and so on. If they were wealthy enough, they probably triggered some of that and capitalized on war profiteering.

There should be legislation that mandates the use of open source software. I am no ok with my tax dollars going to Microsoft or any private software company. I'm also not ok with the government running closed source software (that does

They compared it to the appreciation of real estate, which is wildly divorced from real value. Real-estate prices in say, the Bay Area are driven by legislation and speculation. Not actual value. The move to remote works accelerates the d

It's not universal. I'd rather see someone "freeload" in a system of wild wealth inequality than further enrich those who already have runaway gains via the power law. In fact, I'd say it's quite an ethical pos

It really bothers me that this seems to be based on Microsoft's word. I don't trust them. I don't want MS involved with the government at all, let alone as the spark that starts a new cold war. The US and its allies have done

How is it "debunked", when Stallman just published his post saying that Minsky is falsely accused? You can go read it for yourself. Stallman only harms any movement he's involved in. He's best left a footnote in histor

RMS continues to claim, without evidence, that Minsky was not an Epstein client. He's actively covering up Epstein's crimes. It's not a lie, it's literally in RMS's "apology". > All that Stallman did w

I disagree, I think you have to really contort your thinking and selectively quote the deposition to say this isn't an accusation.
79.
by solosoyokaze 6y ago
The deposition is the claim. They were discussing men Guiffre had been trafficked to. You're deliberately ignoring that.
80.
by solosoyokaze 6y ago
Again, that's not true. In that same deposition a third party testifies that Guiffre did fly with Minsky. Choose to argue semantics all you want, but it's a credible accusation.

From the post: "False accusations -- real or imaginary, against me or against others -- especially anger me. I knew Minsky only distantly, but seeing him unjustly accused made me spring to his defense. I would have done it for anyone.

As someone who has followed the case closely, I have no problem saying I believe Giuffre. She's hardly the only Epstein victim and there's plenty of photo evidence backing up many of her other claims.

That's not true, like I said you're erasing the entire context of the quote.

The same reasoning that says it's bad to murder someone. I would say empathy and a modicum of human decency.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
The questioning was about the high powered men Giuffre was trafficked to. To say it was only about Maxwell asking her to do so, is taking that quote out of context.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
I was responding to the parent comment that claimed Giuffre was a "terrified and led" witness.

I would not work with anyone who held those views, regardless of which country they were from. I find it abhorrent and especially so in the context of work.

Say nothing. That's what a competent leader would do. No one wanted RMS's take on Minsky (or pedophilia in general, which he also offered up).

He's not providing "justice", he's tainting open source software. You can read the victim's own thoughts on Stallman: https://twitter.com/VRSVirginia/status/1174108999039406080
