* Rewarding productivity over quality.

Most succinct expression of the basic problem yet - nice one
Let's say you own a café. The local political youth group "Club Hitler" submits a proposal to have their weekly meetups in your venue. You agree, and they host a number of meetups. They then begin to publicize your venue's support for the Nazi cause as part of their promotional materials.

At what point in this process do you think it would be been morally appropriate for you to cancel your service to this group?
Tourism is one of the largest industries in the US. Approximately 77 million foreigners traveled here in 2016 [1]. Hopefully, in time, we can get some statistics about lost revenue due to these policies and persuade congress against them. Lost profits seem to be something they understand and take action on.

Properties go all the way back to Smalltalk, which doesn't expose class internal data.

No because you cannot ensure their invariants, specially if more than one field needs to change at the same time.

> Charlottesville police seemed underprepared for this event, in general.

Core problem seems to be that lots of the Nazis (and to a lesser extent, some of the protesters) were heavily armed. It's easy for police to break up a protest where no one is armed, but they sure as hell won't mace a group of heavily armed people, no matter if Nazi, Antifa or whatever.
> We literally declared war against them, and killed them wholesale.

Except we didn't kill them wholesale. The United States pardoned or looked the other way for lesser Nazis and Imperialists in Japan to run their respective postwar governments. How do you think these countries functioned after the war? It's not like they systematically shot every remaining Nazi.
Exactly. I believe the best way to fight fascism is to have open dialogue and expose repugnant ideas to the court of public opinion. This requires free speech. The initiation of force outside of self defence is amoral.
You missed my point. I was saying that if a red scare happens again, you could be persecuted for having written that comment. I admit it's a bit implausible. But not completely so, when you consider US history and the declining respect for freedom of expression.
You guys are quibbling over terms now.

You are talking about raciscm and white supremacy in general. They are talking about Naziism itself, which didn't arise until the early 20th century in post-WW1 Germany.

>Replace like 3 words in your comment, and I could make it into a rant advocating persecution of Communists. Which has happened before in the US. But it's ok now because it's against your political enemies?

If by "it's against your political enemies" means "it's against people who want to overthrow your society and replace it with a repressive one" then the two cases are exactly the same in principle and only differ in details.

So yeah, I'd say that they're both OK, under the exact same logic.
Well, I might ask whether you think there is a difference between selling food to an individual who happens to be a member of the Nazi party, and catering for a Nazi party event?

Protesting against fascism is all good but violence has to be denounced on all sides with no exceptions.

IMHO, the starting point was the requirement of 3D accelerated video cards. The last 3D games I have played (alone in the dark 1, doom) did not require any 3D card. But now, you can't display a line of text without a huge pile of crappy layers above insane GPU. 25year ago, direct video memory mapping and bitblt operations were sufficient.
Putting aside whether you think drug use should be a disqualifying factor for entering the country, assuming it is, why is it wrong to find evidence of it?

Hide better?

These aren't child pornographers trying to stay under the radar of the law. These are Nazis advocating for the murder of people who don't look like them, and trying to make their views mainstream.

Making them harder to for the vast majority of people to find is a major part of exactly how you shut a violent fascist movement down. And if you don't think a movement like this should be shut down, you're part of the problem.

Yes, the hardware manufacturers will certainly profit from you.
business is accountable via money to its owners and creditors. which ultimately means its accountable to the market.
I'm not sure how much was the tech. It wasn't all developed in-house anyway; they were a big reference for at least EMC ages ago. But certainly, like a number of the more successful media/entertainment companies, they recognized that technology was important at a time when you couldn't just get it off the shelf.

Today it's less clear that the tech is still as compelling a differentiator relative to the content.
Quite funny the whole thing is about 5 GPU's and the image on the repo shows 6.

There are too many good guides on the internet already, this one doesn't even come close providing all needed info. But I see the author has put his ether account address in the build string, that might be the main reason for this post.

Btw, don't go mining on linux with nvidia, it's really bad advice as overclocking all cards can take days to get it working if ever! Just use Windows for nvidia, it's a breeze to setup and you'll get overclocking for all cards out of the box.
I googled some of the hardware mentioned in this guide and it seems like it would cost several thousand dollars, at least, to buy it all (I could be totally wrong, I'm not much of a hardware guy). At the current price of Ethereum, you're not going to break even for six months, which doesn't strike me as a fantastic get-rich-quick scheme. I would be delighted to be proven wrong by someone more knowledgeable, though!
Well communism caused even more suffering, so should we shut down every communist site as well?
I think you're mistaken. That's like saying we should attribute blame for Islamist terrorism to Islam itself. They're Muslims right? Wrong. Just because someone does horrible shit in the name of a cause does not mean the cause itself is at fault.

Communisms fault is that it's far too utopian in practice and easy for someone like Stalin to hijack the process leading to what you describe. In fact, communism as defined by Marx looks nothing like what the Soviet Union was.

I am a democratic socialist. The USSR was a socialist republic. Do I support what the Soviet union did because I'm a socialist? Hell no! Do I support Nazism because they were called the National Socialists? No and I reject any association of that nature. It's flat out wrong.

Nazism, on the other hand, is pretty clear. Non-whites are vermin and must be exterminated. It's their ideology and if you fly their flags you support that view. It isn't a case of association because a bad actor was affiliated. It matters because it is rotten to the core. It matters because of intent.

Karl Marx never intended for millions to starve in gulags. There is no mention of this and it isn't communist by definition. Genocide was Hitler's intent and it is Nazism by definition.
That's probably not working, because producing the quality stuff is so expensive that people are not ready to pay enough to cover the production costs.

In the streaming business you lure people into paying more than they otherwise would (on average - your mileage may vary) by giving them a feeling that they get so much content for the money. Even though in practice they then actually find a quite limited amount of content they actually enjoy. Also there's the typical trick of subscription services that "you can cancel at any time (but you wont)", which makes the purchase feel more affordable.
The bottom line is: Am I going to let a man starve himself to death while I have a shop full of food? No.
A lot of non-tech companies treat IT as a cost center and that can lead to short sighted decisions that cost them a lot in the long run (or more accurately, they fail to realize benefits that were available to them with appropriate investment).

But it seems counter intuitive that this effect can be worse for some tech companies, where a major part of their business involves convincing clients to treat their tech as more than just a cost center.

Like, you have an entire staff compliment of developers, architects, PMs, engineers and customer service staff, and your own entire ICT practice is a disaster? HOW?

I ended up having to draw people's attention to it by pointing out 'this is your single biggest client, and receives the least attention of them all'.

Loops into the old 'eat your own dog food' wisdom, but from an angle that seems to often get missed.
You also need to estimate how much it will generate next month, and the next, and so on, as the difficulty levels increase (as more miners join the chase). Will you earn your costs back before your mining rig becomes unprofitable?
Charlottesville: Race and Terror (Vice HD Documentary
I have only checked the first link however the NYT article from 2015 states

"48 have been killed by extremists who are not Muslim, including the recent mass killing in Charleston, S.C., compared with 26 by self-proclaimed jihadists, according to a count by New America, a Washington research center."

The pulse nightclub shooting alone killed 49 people. That is more than the entirety of the post 9/11 number white supremacist murders up to 2015 with a single event from 2016.
If that were the case, I think there wouldn't be that much discussion about the "website obesity crisis". E.g., see this post from another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15028741

It'd probably be better to point the article link there.
Actually, the US granted amnesty and asylum to a shit load of Nazis and brought them to the US.

In practice the web can't prevent you from voicing your opinion. Even the worst of criminals manage to chat on the dark web. Companies can choose not to promote it though - Google has no obligation to put nasty stuff high in their search and the NYT has no obligation to put it on their front page. I'm not sure there's a problem there.
> Holocaust denial is a pro-genocide ideology.

No that simply isn't true. Contemporary Nazis deny the holocaust because they can't morally justify following mass-murderers to themselves.

And don't get me started on how text-centric websites used to load faster over a 56k connection than I can now get a JavaScript-abusing news site to load and render a simple article over fiber.

just to set the record straight, idtech5 uses "megatextures" / sparse virtual texturing, which is actually a very clever performance enhancement - a low-resolution render of the scene is made to determine the needed mip levels for the visible textures, which are streamed from disk into an atlas texture. then there's a redirection texture that maps from the textures needed by models to the UVs of the correctly mip'd texture in the atlas. it's a great solution to disk and API latency in games. to call it bad because it's a big texture instead of 50 textures individually streamed from disk...it's not a lack of compromise. it's a great engineering solution, you dingus!
absolutely not. all of those ACTUAL horrible situations involved gross disdain for 1st Amendment principles
What I'm saying is that if the video card you were using had 16 lanes available and got X performance. Then you took away half the lanes available to graphics card, so now you have 8 lanes available, but performance has only decreased by 20%. Meaning that the game or application was only using a fraction of those extra lanes. So basically it wasn't fully exploiting the hardware available.

> "Free speech" on the internet never really existed

Long before 4chan repeated everything Usenet had done many years earlier there was plenty of free speech on the Internet.

Not because nobody was in control to prevent it, but because the news admins who were in control believed in free speech enough to facilitate it. Although Usenet is a shadow of its heyday, that still applies even to this day.

Yeah, but load speed is, and imagine how skewed and unfair it is for Google to load an AMP page from its own cache and compare that to loading a page from someone else's (possibly objectively faster) site. And Google doesn't consider AMP pages cached from sources other than Google to be real AMP pages.

My fellow humans: Free speech is dying in America. You are free to speak as long as it matches the illusory "public opinion", doesn't offend the "wrong people", and doesn't make law enforcement or the internet think that you're a "bad sort of person".

Privacy is the safest way for individuals to preserve your "freedom". Keep your head down. Don't rock the boat. If you post an unpopular opinion, whether it's right or wrong is largely irrelevant. You will attract ire from those with an opposing opinion.

A lot of the memory usage in modern browsers is from aggressive caching - computers today have multiple gigabytes of RAm that would otherwise go unused, so browser vendors keep more assets in memory between pageloads to avoid reloading them from the disk cache or worse: the network.

Operating systems themselves take advantage of this abundance of memory by also keeping things in-memory for longer - I remember my beefy 2GB/RAM computer from 10 years ago still paged processes and data out to disk when I had Photoshop CS and Firefox 2 side-by-side, but now that I have 32GB of RAM - and have done for the past 2+ years, I csnnot recall having experienced any disk-thrashing due to paging since then.

Also, Valve. By some accounts, this creates terrible working environment, where people are competing instead of cooperating. Not to mention it distorts the incentives, as devs are heavily incentivised to project an image of being impactful high-achiever (as oposed to actually just being one, and not having to manage one's image). Of course, it also happens in regular companies, but here higher stakes make the game more vicious.
This was happening under Obama but the media only started covering it after Trump got elected. He also went after leakers and journalists more than any other president, if Trump tried the same thing the media would go wild.

The tone you use here helps make my point: just because "nerds" are experts in everything tech does NOT equate to good decision making / good management for the company as a whole. Sometimes it does. Often times it does not. Things aren't usually that black and white; "I built it, so I should run it." Just had this convo with a coworker the other day. He was telling me about all the complaints from the dev team and how we should let them drive the bus. I had to remind him of all the good-tech-but-bad-business ideas several of them have offered in the past. In my experience, the rare "nerd" who also intimately understands the nuances of every day business (relationships, the board, profit margins, brand experiences, etc.) is hard to beat.
> Fundamentally, modern systems are much more usable...

I just don't buy this premise. _Some_ systems are more usable. But take a look at Microsoft Excel from circa 1995-2000, which came with a big thick textbook of documentation, explaining what every single menu item did. Every single menu item was written in natural language and it told you what it would do. Professionals used (and still use) Excel, crafting workflows around the organization of the UI. It's a tool that is used by actual people to accomplish actual tasks.

Now look at Google Sheets. It has about 1/10th the functionality of Microsoft Excel (hell--it can't even do proper scatter plots with multiple data series) and its UI is an undiscoverable piece of crap because half of it is in _iconese_--a strange language of symbols that are not standardized across applications, confusing and ironically archaic depictions of telephones, arrows, sheets of paper, floppy disks. The program is written in a pictographic language that must be deciphered before being used. Software doesn't even speak our natural languages anymore...we have to learn _their_ language first...and every application has its own and that language changes every six months. Worse, all those funky pictograms are buttons that perform irrevocable actions. They don't even explain what they did or how to undo it...it makes users less likely to explore by experimentation.

...and there is no manual, there is no documentation. It will be all different in six months, with less functionality and bigger--different!--icons...takes more memory.

We are regressing.
