Re:I used to think RMS was mad...
Kind of an interesting example. To some degree, Einstein, in his mannerisms and such, reminds me of Stallman, though from a different era. Check out Einstein, and compare with Stallman. They both have the same whiny, high-pitched voice, for example. They both had similar cultural backgrounds, as well (though again, separated by a few generations).
I wonder what Einstein's sense of humor was like. -
Re:I've seen it
If you have access to a even a modest sized telescope it's possible to see details on the ISS. I've seen the solar panels on visually with a 10" reflector.

Re:GNU/Linux is factually incorrect branding
You dawg, we heard you liked cat herding, so we put some GNU in your HURD so you can use GNU HURD as your kernel while you run GNU/HURD as your OS.
p.s. Stop trying to make HURD happen. It's not going to happen.

Re:Ideological slant?
Are these actual "comic book" comic books, with superheroes and such, or just thinly disguised left-wing ideology written by people bitter that Hillary lost?
Oh, somebody upset that the so-called greatest hero of our time is an illegal alien. Or the one using steroids?
Or maybe you don't like that Batman is a sex-abusing pedophile? That Iron Man is an alcoholic? That Wonder Woman is a bondage queen?

Re:New respect
You didn't miss much with Halo. It was a decent, but pretty generic shooter. It was the first game to do away with medpacks and instead use the wait-for-your-health-to-restore-by-staying-out-of-combat mechanic. Nowadays gamers usually pan it. It also had vehicles which was still pretty new at the time.

Esperanto
It seems like Esperanto should be everyone's 2nd language, simply because it's so easy to learn yet seems ~"complete", and more importantly, has been shown to make learning other languages easier to the point that overall you learn, say, more French if you learn Esperanto first, than if one spent the entire time studying French. So learn whatever you would have learned as a 2nd language, for the 3rd, and you saved time and got farther, overall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Third-language_acquisition). And it seems to me the easiest way for someone to better understand the grammar of their own native language, by seeing a simple & clean example.
I don't think aficionados usually see it as a replacement for a first (or native) language, though that has been done intentionally by some (per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., or search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for "native").
Then there's the side benefit of being by far the cheapest effective global route to everyone being able to talk to and understand each other, even if haltingly. For some people, learning English is simply too hard. For the rest, it's still a very big effort, and Esperanto is extremely easy by comparison. In terms of global cost/benefit, Esperanto seems like a big win. And it's fun!
An excellent, persuasive explanation from Claude Piron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
(PS: There are other interesting constructed languages each with their pros & cons, but none with nearly the same amount of traction or interest as Esperanto. It's interesting to consider, given all that has been learned in the field so far, how to "optimize" a constructed human language, considering various factors like ease, familiarity, beauty, efficiency, computability, or whatever one sees as most important. Also, feel free to point me to how link text should be covered with a url when posting.)

Re: Divide by zero
Of course, it is â" the costs of the infrastructure are largely fixed. It (almost) does not matter, whether the network is used by 100 or 100000 people. So, as the number of users dwindles, the costs born by the remaining users go up.
40 dollars a month is less than I was paying in the Nineties. I pay a little more now, but I get a ton of features and it is through fiber anyway, so...it is far less than I would have paid for the same thing back then.
Your analysis is flawed, and that isn't even considering the home lines that are wireless now.

Re:so having or communicating *emotion* is bad
Actually, there *is* quite useful way to define extremism that doesn't rely on on subjective value judgments about the admissiability someone's particular ideology.
To the degree that a person tends to perceive the world as polarized into two camps with no overlap or middle ground, that person is an extremist. It doesn't mean he's wrong on any particular issue.
So, socialists who think anyone who isn't a socialist is a fascist are extremist socialists. Likewise capitalists who see any departure from laisez-faire as tantamount to communism are extremist capitalists. Their comrades with similar views about issues but somewhat more flexible views about people are not extremists.
Extremists view the world as populated by the moral equivalent of angels and devils; consequently they have a severe difficulty with compromising or horse-trading, which is tantamount to a deal with the devil. This is why extremist movements are notorious for schism.
This also explains the resurgence of extremism in the age of social media. It's never been easier to surround yourself with like-minded people, no matter how outré your particular mania is.
Now "hate speech" is an entirely different matter. It's poorly named because "hate" is not the defining characteristic. The defining characteristic of hate speech is intimidation. Suppose you burn a cross on a black family's lawn, not because you have anything personal against blacks, but because you know that it's better for your property's value if the neighborhood is entirely white. That's still hate speech, even though you don't feel any hate. On the other hand if you politely inform your black neighbor so you'd prefer it if the two of you stayed out of each other's way because you hate blacks, that's not hate speech.
Hate speech is a crime against liberty: it's an attempt to force people not to live here or put their genitals there, when it's none of your damn business.

Re:At least human population reduction can be mana
You don't need to actively prevent births. The easiest way to reduce the total human population is to spread prosperity. Every country that's undergone an economic revolution has seen their birth rate drop to near or below replacement levels.

The concern is that past a certain point automation stops spreading prosperity and starts concentrating it in the hands of a small wealthy class. -
Re:All of them.
Once upon a time it took 100% of humans 100% of their time to stay a live and gather enough food. Then we started to specialize. In 1987 2% of Americans farmed, and that's was the lowest number (total) since the 1800s. In 1820, when they were reported at less than 2.1 million, or about 72 percent of the American work force of 2.9 million. By 1850, farm people made up 4.9 million, or about 64 percent, of the nation's 7.7 million workers. The farm population in 1920, when the official Census data began, was nearly 32 million, or 30.2 percent of the population of 105.7 million, the report said. So we've gone from 100 to 72 to 64 to 30 to 2% of the population need to just make food to keep our species going.
How many people did horses 'automate'? If you look at the cumulative improvements at a single task how many people with sticks can a single tractor replace? Think of how many 'jobs' we could bring back if we outlawed tractors? It doesn't mean that a 'farmer' has gone away, it just means they do something different. An engineer in 2017 has had most of what an engineer did in 1917 'automated'.
Computers have been automating computer jobs since they were invented. Compilers are just "robots" that turn high level C into Assembly. I don't even write my own C any more, Simulink does a much better and consistent job at it. The autogenerated code may be a bit verbose but it's very explicit and bester right
Please stop looking at the past as any indication as to how the future will go; it's fundamentally a flawed analysis.
Yes, history has shown that automation has come along and replaced jobs. Our previous answer was to tell humans to go get an education, and go "do something different." That solution will not be applicable in the future when AI starts replacing even the educated human, and there is nothing for humans to go off and "do". Education is barely a viable answer today due to the obscene cost of it. AI will merely work and be refined to eliminate the justification of education altogether.
Automation and AI will be vastly different in the future, and will create a vastly different impact, which is why we cannot merely look at history as a guide.

Re:All of them.
Once upon a time it took 100% of humans 100% of their time to stay a live and gather enough food. Then we started to specialize. In 1987 2% of Americans farmed, and that's was the lowest number (total) since the 1800s. In 1820, when they were reported at less than 2.1 million, or about 72 percent of the American work force of 2.9 million. By 1850, farm people made up 4.9 million, or about 64 percent, of the nation's 7.7 million workers. The farm population in 1920, when the official Census data began, was nearly 32 million, or 30.2 percent of the population of 105.7 million, the report said. So we've gone from 100 to 72 to 64 to 30 to 2% of the population need to just make food to keep our species going.

And how many "new" jobs have been created by the construction of the tractors and all the support they require? Many people discuss automation and lost jobs, but don't see the gained jobs in other sectors. The jobs aren't lost or new, they are just changed and moved. Retraining usually will be required.
