In the past Stallman has said it's reasonable to make a game closed source for a time, and then open source it after a year or so when the popularity runs out.
Stallman is saying stuff that you don't understand because you've never read it. To begin with freedom is well defined in this context, and most of your post, while logical, is so ignorant that even the best logic would lead to trash. Educate yourself before posting again.
The criticisms you mention are not typical, and even then rarely address his actual arguments. The argument in favor of tivoization for example usually boils down to "yeah it may bad for society but I want my software to have more installs."
It doesn't belong here because there's no story. If Trump tweets "did aliens use Apple computers to build the pyramids?" It also is not a story, despite involving technology
I want to point out that your post is already better than tfa, in that it presents evidence (it may be lousy evidence in that it's an anecdote, but at least it's something).
Can we keep this stuff off here please? I don't mind if there is some evidence to back it up (like even a blog post showing how it was hard for someone to sign up). Furthermore the headline is even wrong, he didn't accuse them of bias, he dropped the question, "Total bias?" So basically what happened is "Trump asked whether Twitter has bias." And of course all right-wing news sites will run with the story.
That's ridiculous, there are plenty of potential technologies that will solve the problem. I'll name three right here: nuclear fusion, safe fission, and any type of inexpensive power storage (which will make solar and wind a viable option for base load power). A technological fix works excellently here for what is a technological problem. Furthermore, the technology has been improving dramatically, so we ARE making progress. When I first started posting here, solar wasn't a cost effective solution for power generation, full stop. Now it is, in many cases.
I can't imagine making "self-adjusting movies" that play differently depending on your mood. The closest I can imagine is live theater, where the actors might slightly change their lines and the timing based on how the audience responds. But that is very slight, and not at all amenable to algorithmic analysis. Or maybe standup comedy, where the comedian definitely changes things based on how the audience responds. But there is no way you are going to have computers gauging the effect of a comedy show appropriately.
btw, just to be clear, even if my previous comment turns out to be correct, I don't think the solution is to stop immigration.......rather some sort of education requirement like "learn basic civics" should be enough.
Well ok, that's a good comment. You are right that the experience of the Native Americans facing immigrants is not the same as Americans today. Let's look at a different place and time, and see if we can't find an analogy that is more similar.
I think Rome, from the period 200bce to 0 probably matches. They had a Republic, and the rules were fairly well set up for the people living in Italy at the time (it lasted for centuries, after all). Then in the later years, as Rome started conquering its neighbors, they started importing people as slaves, servants, soldiers, and workers. Soon there were a lot of people who didn't understand the point of a Republic, and thought a king would be better. Eventually the influx of many people of a completely different demographic (actually many different demographics, but unified in that they didn't understand the Roman Way) brought the downfall of the Republic.
Obviously AR is useless to a computer, because it already has access to all the sensors. I think the reason they acquired the company is because the company has developed a very good system for detecting objects and mapping the environment while on the road. That is the only thing I can figure out.
Better update the Statue of Liberty then "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" needs to be replaces with "Fuck You, I got mine, go home brownies".
You are not, but you should be aware that the Statue of Liberty poem was a piece of propaganda when it was written. I happen to agree with the poem, but I know what it is.
Perhaps we should ask the native Americans what they think of these "blow ins" from across the sea.
The Native American experience is probably the best example possible of why immigration is a bad thing.

Yeah Donald Trump proved that style can win over substance. And yet Donald Trump is still a lying sleezebag. Winning isn't everything.

Worth mentioning that in recent years he has learned how to talk in a way that doesn't sound unhinged.

Agreement does not make right or wrong, true or false. Gravity will still work the way it does, no matter how many people agree otherwise.
There is no moral absolutism one can ascribe to.
And then you went off the deep end. No one claimed there was moral absolutism.
We can agree on some basic principles
Oh wow! And then you contradict yourself. So what is it, can we agree on some basic principles or not?
People typically criticize Stallman based on style, because they can't touch him based on substance.

Present the evidence please, or gtfo. There is enough crap innuendo going around the internet these days.

Seems like a place where 3d printing would come in handy.
No, I didn't.

Wait, you think Republicans are going to win in the elections this year?

Rome hadn't been a Republic for centuries by the time it fell.

Netflix never hated the cable companies. Users hated the cable companies, but Netflix just wanted to win.
Not to mention that he is in charge of a whole lot of open source projects, so this is going to affect a lot of places.
The parts about chastity are going to exclude a lot of people. The parts about loving god will exclude a smaller number of people.
