Does anyone on this list work at dynamicland? I tried to visit last time I was in San Francisco and it turns out this thing is closed to the public. The guy who answered the door says he's not sure when the next open house will be, no

Because I know women who have dealt with him and they said he's fine.

This sounds exaggerated to me. He's socially awkward so it's more likely women are taking his actions the wrong way. Richard Stallman holds ethics in high regard.

That's a straw man. of course it is.

> Women cultivating plants in their offices because they know he hates plants and won't creep on them awful. This 100% doesn't make any SENSE, and I read it five times. Can you please clarify?

They all simultaneously call his employer and demand that he gets fired.

RMS is an "awful person"? I would say that, he's a hero to a lot of people, including me. He might be "social unskilled", but an AWFUL person? I would say that is untrue in any common sense way.

I'm willing to bet if I went through all your tweets, social media, and personal email, I could find SOMETHING that could have gotten you fired if it ever came to public attention. In fact, I'm sure that's true for just about

I think he's trying to say that coercion is involved.

Yes, but they say a lot of "bad things" and yet don't seem to be subject to the politically correct rules that the rest of us have to abide by. Hell, Jay Z said worse things than anything stallman said. Yet he was CEO of tomm

Did you even read his statement? He wasn't defending Epstein, he was defending minsky.

You can apply the same reasoning to rappers today, yet there is no public outrage.

Why? As long as both people are consenting I don't see an issue with it. What makes the person "lower than dirt"?

The program I am using is here: http://www.ndma.com/resources/ndm8543.htm However, it doesn't seem to be updated beyond 1994. And it's missing some things from Augment like the journal. But the system itself

Here's a chorded keyboard that I bought to use with a NLS/Augment clone I bought for my PC: https://www.infogrip.com/bat-keyboard.html Just in case anyone's interested.

So we'll never have another recession? That's silly. All markets crash.

I think he's a fan of collective intelligence. Maybe he feels quora is a good implementation of this concept.

Arrggh, I don't think it's published anymore. And used ones are over $100 on amazon.

Did you do the problem sets? The book makes a lot of references to make theorems and number theory that the average laymen wouldn't understand.

Not a book, but I encourage people to read Douglas Engelbart's paper on Augmenting Human Intellect: http://dougengelbart.org/content/view/138 Alan kay is a big of Engelbart and I'm surprised it wasn&#x27

That's a straw man. Of course it "happens". the point is that people make it out to be far bigger problem than it actually is.

You obviously don't live in america then. Police are heavily trained to DE-escalate the situation. I know, I'm a person of color and the few times I've had to deal with the police, they were polite, courteous and professional

You can make the argument that there's an irrational fear of police in our society because of availability bias.

by steveeq1 7y ago
I didn't know this, so I concede, somewhat. But my broader point remains. Availability bias makes the problem seem much much larger than it actually is.

I never understood why either. For some reason American music tastes (hip-hop) often glorify greed, crime, and lawnessness and our culture does relatively little to call this behavior out. It's actually NORMAL in american culture to be
