The ability to be an effective leader is not a court of law. I'm totally ok calling for someone to step down after they defend statutory rape, in theory and practice (which RMS did both).

It may be acceptable to you but for me and a lot of people, it is not. The solution for me is to never associate or work with the FSF and advocate against this type of behavior from "leaders" in our industry and field.

Yes it does. It claims the allegations against Minsky are false. That has not been proven and the allegations are highly credible. It's an offensive and stupid thing to say, especially publicly, especially when you're "apol

Are you comparing the rape of a minor to homosexuality? I would not work with someone who conversed like this in a professional setting. I'm not alone. It's wildly inappropriate at the very least. It's not his field and he&

RMS made these comments on work communication channels. You don't need to separate his ideas from his work because he himself put his ideas into his work environment and is now, correctly, paying the price for that.

He even continues to defend Minsky in this letter. It's not even an apology, it's just more of the same.

> He wants to have a discussion about what makes sex between people of varying ages wrong. That alone makes him unfit to lead anything (among the many other things he's done). I do not want to hear his opinion on this subject.

How is it the "right thing" if it helps Google but hurts developers and consumers? It seems quite the opposite.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
As a consumer or developer, your interests are aligned with the author's. Unless you work for Google, you'd be better off fighting policies like this.

Are you planning to name this person? You should, to help protect others. I remember early FB employees talking to me about how they were spying on people's private activity (who was looking at who's page for instance). I have no

I don't think you can tax the rich with income tax, for the reason you state. I think you need a wealth tax.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
Are you suggesting that the rich would break the law and engage in tax evasion (not legal loopholes)? A great portion of my taxes goes to military and police. Wouldn’t they just collect the money push come to shove? They certainly have the

There's a huge difference between $100->$200 and $500->$1,000. People's earnings make it that there's a threshold that gets crossed where insurance becomes unaffordable. It's debatable if that happened before or af

Is there any outrage about penny stocks? I only see that from establishment media and financial outlets, not citizens.

My point is the government isn't "protecting" anyone with these regulations. They will happily watch you spend your life savings buying lotto tickets (not an investment) but if you actually want to put that money into a compa

Notice the difference between the two articles? OP: Penny stocks are rife with fraud and reward swindlers Your article: This one instance of state lotto had fraud. No comment on the lotto in general.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
Regulation leads to regulatory capture which leads to power and information imbalances that are great substrate for fraud. The stock market (not just penny stocks) is highly regulated but I think we could all agree there's fraud happen

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
I'm not seeing the problem. What you're saying is that you want to dictate how people spend their money. Why is buying penny stocks a concern to you but spending that same amount of money on travel, cars, beanie babies... is not?
112.
by solosoyokaze 6y ago
Stocks are heavily regulated as well. Regulation and fraud are orthogonal to each other.

Or maybe they just find Clubhouse ridiculous and are tired of hearing about it? The tweet is amusing if nothing else, I wouldn't suspect the people liking it are jealous of anything.

by solosoyokaze 6y ago
Can you give an example of something more useless than Clubhouse? I can't really think of anything less useful than listening to a bunch of people self-promote in real-time audio.

My point was that it’s not the checkup that costs a lot, it’s the treatment of what’s discovered that keeps people from wanting to get diagnosed in the first place.
