I think maybe there is some discussion to be had about the difference between personal violence, such as a particular person carrying out a violent crime, and the general acceptance of violence as a viable solution to a myriad of problems.

I both do not know any violent criminals personally, and have witnessed a rather staggering amount of acceptance of violence in our culture.

I’m reminded here of when the director of communications at Lockheed Martin responded with the following when asked about a possible connection between Columbine and the manufacturing of Triton missiles just down the street (Lockheed being a major employer of many parents in the area):

“I guess I don't see that specific connection because the missiles that you're talking about were built and designed to defend us from somebody else who would be aggressors against us.”

We also accept violence in the criminal justice system even to stop non-violent crimes. We also support wars, see it’s approval rating of post 9-11. I’ve had many a person tell me the solution to some Perceived racial problem was to “wipe them out” and only one of them physically assaulted me.

So it seems to me that we are okay with violence but often do not like carrying it out ourselves in personal disputes. Yet this may only be detoured but the treat of violence being carried out on us if we were to. Unless of course we are in the military and have been told/trained to carry out violent activities with impunity. All in all I am not convinced we are a peaceful nonviolent civilization, quite the opposite. Nor am I convinced that seeing accepted violence everyday on your T.V. Screen, be it video game or otherwise, does not affect this pervasive psychological mindset, agin the opposite.

It is slavery.

> It would be weird to refer to the people in Auchwitz-II as slaves.

People in Auchwitz-II were enslaved, thus they were slaves, subjects of economic exploitation in their life, and death.

It's just we never, and for a wrong reason, talk about the original motive behind NSDAPs attack on Jews, and other minorities.

That motive is the same as for whatever else form of forced labour — class warfare, as was the case for many other pretexts for genocide in history.

The type of hatred NSDAP managed to peddle the most was not for hatred of Jewish people for being Jewish as such, but for Jewish people being rich.

NSDAPs first attacks on Jewish people were spun around the message of class warfare. NSDAPs biggest sell for Kristallnacht was the opportunity for poor angry underclasses to get from rags to riches in one night by robbing homes, and businesses of rich Jewish families with impunity after all.
Isn't the whole point of Brexit that no, we've decided that it's not actually totally crucial to continue Britain's relationship with the EU the way it has been in the past, and disruptions are totally fine and perhaps to be desired if they are in the service of Britain being free of EU regulation?

(I mean, I certainly am of the opinion that allowing that exchange to be uninterrupted is very important, but I also have that opinion about everything else Brexit wants to sever. I'm definitely not the person you need to convince that maintaining relationships with the EU is worth doing even if the cost is abiding by EU regulations.)
> I'm amazed the world isn't taking more action on China. Its quite sad really, 20 years ago, any one of the headlines from this year would have prompted sanctions and denunciations...

I don't think so. Nothing happened with Tibet, or after the Tiananmen Square event AFAIK.

20 years ago, the people that signed all the trade deals with countries such as China claimed it would lead to improving democracy and human rights there, obviously, it didn't, People's Republic of China has never been more autocratic. Ethical and moral concerns should have been addressed when China joined the WTO in 2001, irregardless China's political structure. China got a very good deal, western industrials as well, but at what human cost?

I wasn't interested in economy at the time, but I still remember clearly debates on talkshows between human rights advocates and people pushing trade deals and their arguments, it was a time where you could still publicly talk about the situation in Tibet. Today? Nobody would even dare.
Well, the whole problem is that you need more information before you can claim that the activity they happened to be addicted to on their phone is what caused the violence rather than the addiction itself, or other possible factors like mental illness and unexpected variables.

Here's an article of a 16yo killing his parents because his iPod was taken away: https://time.com/138601/teen-kills-parents-because-they-took.... You'd be jumping the gun if you looked at his most played tracks and concluded that Bruce Springsteen or the iPod's uni-wheel interface caused violence, though I'm slightly more open-minded to those ideas.
Ehh I actually think this is very relevant to the conversation here. There are many others in this thread who are criticizing US companies for operating in China when they are already based in a country that allows its own form of forced labor, sponsors coups abroad, starts wars, etc. Knowing this, you’d think people might understand why US companies look the other way when they profit off of forced Chinese labor.

This may seem like whataboutism but I am not trying to justify China’s behavior here—it is truly horrendous. I just think the general conversation on Hacker News around the ethics of US companies operating in China lacks this nuance. These issues are deeply interconnected and, by trying to force a separation, we all miss out on a balanced and critical analysis of the situation
Apple wants forced labor in China and they are lobbying for a bill aimed at allowing forced labor in China:

What if NumPy and SciPy were part of the Python stdlib--would this change your view at all? (Note that for the majority of Python's scientific users, this might as well be the case, since they're using Anaconda to get their Python distribution set up.)

Like I mean sure, maybe it'd be nice to have some syntactic sugar at the language level for tensors (though IMO the slice syntax for numpy.ndarray is already plenty), and maybe it's a microannoyance to have to write `import numpy as np` over and over, but what else is lacking?
I don't totally follow. Your comment about increasing the price on old things seems like a reference to Giffen Goods? But the actual existence of such goods is somewhat unverified/contentious, I understand.

One shouldn't assume this is zero sum. Increased labor participation should (given consistent productivity) driven economic growth—i.e. GDP should go up; everyone should get richer.

Increased workforce participation can of course drive down wages. That could explain the weakened status of the middle class. But that doesn't explain declining labor productivity.

I doubt there's one single cause. Women entering the workforce was probably a reaction to labor insecurity and also conceivably a driver of it; that resulting insecurity probably also is attributable to various policy changes (weakening of unions, decreasing political power of the working class, the increasing role of capital). I don't have a good one-sentence summary, nor have I even made up my own mind on this.
All the hand-wringing and pedantry in this thread, just to defend China and Apple.
Haha, I almost forgot this gem. In grade school, I accidentally brought a pocket knife to school since it was left in one of the side pouches of my backpack after a camping trip the previous weekend. I was naive then. I told my teacher about it, which could have ended very badly. His response, "Just don't take it out or tell anyone". Oh, the good old days.
They don't say ethics outweighs science, do they? They're just two axes on which to evaluate the model. You're coming to some interesting conclusions from those slides, unless I'm misreading something.

Thanks, I added a label to the title to deter people from taking this seriously.
This is largely true in the US as well, the Mavic Mini is 249 grams intentionally because most of the FAA rules explicitly only apply to aircraft >= 250g. They know exactly what they're doing, it's literally the first question in their FAQ page - https://www.dji.com/mavic-mini/faq

I'm generally very pro-drone but this definitely makes it hard to defend the hobby against anti-drone arguments. Most of the things people complain about we can say "Well that's already illegal, and with RemoteID it will be much easier to report them and have consequences"... But these 249g drones with 30 mins battery life and 4k cameras don't have to follow a many of these laws, even though they cause a large proportion of the problems.
GMail is there mostly as a legacy of a time when Google had legit competition from portal sites like Yahoo and MSN. E-mail was an important part of that portal and GMail was a way to siphon some users.
You are right that "off-the-shelf" engines have tooling and features rich enough that even a single person can make a pretty and fun game.

But I disagree with the higher level idea - that this means that things become simple. It's the other way around - they became so complex that a few person studio cannot write a new, general engine (see how many people programmed Doom or Quake which were state of the art back then!).
At Unity there are a few thousands of just programmers working on the engine (yes!). This is not FAANG size, but I don't know if there is a team at FAANG that has a few thousands of engineers working on a single product.
You need a team of this size to make a multi-platform, universal engine that is still not good enough to make AAA or open-world games.

Also my personal experience at my last games job (I left games) was the complete opposite of what you suggest as "engines being commodities" (at least this is at odds with you writing that they are working on AAA engines- sounds like they might be "using" engines and not writing in-house ones?).
At Sony Santa Monica we had a team of ~30 programmers, out of which ~8 graphics people (just for a single platform and a single game) and I was constantly frustrated with how impossible it was just to catch up on all necessary state of the art techniques with a team of that size.

There are people much smarter than me who spend for example a half of a year on something as obscure as "multiscattering rough diffuse BRDF" - and a larger engine has hundreds of "features" like this.
It's entirely confirmation bias; try posting a study or meta-analysis showing the inverse, or - and I think this will fare even worse - a meta-analysis of the effects of pornography on attitudes or sexual aggression.

The literature on pornography is more mixed and contentious, though. On violent video games and "gaming addiction", there seems to be less and less going for the hypothesis that they cause violence or aggression.

However, from what reading I've done, you will find that longitudinal results in porn and video games are dissonant with experimental results in lab settings. This suggests that while there are effects, they do not persist to the level thought. More complex models (such as the confluence model in porn effects research) which try and explain apparent hidden variables are also gaining steam. There are actually only four or five major contemporary figures in porn effects research; Wright and Tokunaga finding that porn has negative effects on everyone; Hald and Malamuth finding that the main or only worry only lies in those low in agreeableness and predisposed to aggressive behaviour.

To a bunch of gamers and porn-users (including myself in both of those categories), these things are either things we spend a lot of time doing (for a portion of HN, I suspect their entire leisure time is taken up by video games), or they are very personal and private. Nothing is more personal than what we get off to, so any analysis of porn tends to be taken as an assault on sexuality itself (though interestingly, much as with advertising or propaganda, the very same sexuality cultivated by porn consumption).

I've tried discussing the literature on video games, porn, violence, aggression, and morality before on both HN and Reddit, and the discussion is either ignored or shot down with downvotes because any discussion at all feels like a personal attack.

I'd recommend for anyone interested in the topic of video games and aggression or behaviour, and indeed the hot topic of "video game addiction" to check out the papers by CJ Ferguson, who has a positive view on video games. At the same time, check out the people he replies to and the people replying to him. It's ridiculous to draw any conclusion from a study that happens to reach the top of HN.
Yeah, but most places will put your storage unit into "default" for some time, usually 30 days, and make multiple attempts to contact you before auctioning your stuff. Generally speaking, in the U.S. most states have lien laws that dictate how and for how long a company must attempt to contact you before they can auction.

Youtube could do something similar, by providing you 30 days to download your content.

According to the Wikipedia article there was much destruction, but... that happened when the oil flowed where it shouldn't and then burned in places where one really doesn't want it to burn.

Lighter-than-air gas is crucially different. If you let that leak out it won't flow downhill through the city, it'll go straight up. Of course you can argue that gas is dangerous, but not by example of an accident where most of the flammable material flowed away (and caused harm elsewhere) instead of either burning or exploding at the site.
Its fake anyway.
Anecdotally, nearly all of my friends growing up played violent video games. I did see this behavior from one of my friends and his aggression following losing a video game. But he also had the same reaction after we lost a soccer game as well. I think that video games may show this effect, but it is not necessarily the cause. After all, all of my friends played the same violent video games (often together); the individual was the common factor in the aggressive activity, not the game.
Reading that transcript actually left me thinking the system worked okay in this particular case, even though it led to a bad (in my opinion) policy outcome. The money bought access, not results: in the end, the legislators who voted against largely it did so because of personal belief the policy was bad or because of political pressure from an important campaign group (+), not because of money from Intuit (and it didn't take too much in absolute terms---$140K at full price---to equalize the lobbying power of a single-person pet project with that of a multibillion-dollar company with a strong vested interest in seeing the legislation defeated).

(+): I'm not personally a Grover Norquist fan, but he's influential because a lot of Americans really don't like taxes, and the argument that people will be more opposed to taxes if they're more burdensome does seem internally consistent.
I enjoy movies that make me uncomfortable because of the self-reflection they tend to induce. Those films don't make me want to treat people poorly, they make me want to be kinder.
Both of those are direct quotes.
It's consistent to believe that some foods/drugs are bad for your health, yet should still be legal.
Daydream is dead, just fyi
Correct. But my request is rooted in the fact that AskHN/ShowHN are often more niche questions/show posts. The signal:noise ratio for them is, imo, different than that of popular posts on the front page. Therefor i'm describing that they should not be required to be front-page-popular to be browse-able.

Another way to think about it is i often want to see discussions and projects from HN folks. The frontpage can often just be full of popular nonsense - Reddit-esque. However ShowHN and AskHN often have gems that are obscure, with a much smaller amount of points.

Yet another way to look at it is: i'd love a toggle filter to only show me AskHN/ShowHN on the front page. However most days it would only be one or two posts.

Hopefully this illustrates my desires :)

(one final example, hah, might be this very post. I suspect it'll get over 100, but currently it's sitting at 60 pts)
You are obviously eliding the distinction between a state where officials can arbitrarily order you to do anything and a state bound by the rule of law and a constitution enforced by independent courts that limits what the executive and legislature can order you to do.
I went through this a few months ago. I found some at Kroger. I missed this pasta from my youth years in Europe.
> Google's choice to bump these prices made me realize that they could do the same thing with their compute cloud pricing or other APIs, again with little notice. That, in turn, led to the realization that we needed to remove our reliance on Google's entire stack, and quickly, or we'd be in a terrible bargaining position later.

Yes. You are right. The whole cloud deal is a try to rule out on premise infrastructure and once it is gone and everyone is dependent on it (due to lost of knowledge, and for cloud providers ideally when hardware vendors are no longer selling hardware to non cloud entities) harvest the dependent businesses left at their mercy and charge dearly (including for all the years before that). It is actually not even a complicated plan but it is staggering how many people are putting cloth over their eyes.
Your alternative is also pretty bad as it will generate lots of intermediate Strings before joining them up...
Just use a forEach instead and append directly to the DOM:

div.innerHtml = DOMPurify.sanitize( ... );
root.append(div);
});
I have a few friends from high school who are in the trades, a carpenter, a plumber, and do very well for themselves. My friend who's a welder by far and above does the best out of all of them, and makes well over 100K. High paying blue collar jobs are there; he is constantly telling me if I want a job as a welder, they are always struggling to hire hire qualified people.
I'm not going to play the historical game of who-did-what-is-worse. Hoover was a criminal, and the US MIC/IC has a long history of committing domestic and international atrocities. But, on the long tail of things, I'd rather be subjected to the US legal (and extralegal) system than the Russian legal system. I have more confidence that the former offers just recourse, even if it takes a generation or two.
It seems like around 2000 dialogue in movies and TV shows started to get quieter and quieter while action sequences got louder and louder. It's awful. I am hearing impaired and I watch everything with subtitles, however, I really don't have an issue with intelligibility of dialogue while watching older shows and movies.
In my experience, it's an institutional thing - kinda like Java or Jira or other widely loathed J-initialed dev products - I don't know if anyone willing chooses Jest. Haven't worked at any place that used Mocha but that's what I use for home dev.
Are your measurements using numbers?
Sadly true. Years ago, I watched a brutal documentary on a mine where the life expectancy of the workers was insanely short. Their primary industrial clients were electronics manufacturers. I don’t know what I can do, though, as programming is my living.

I like the suggestion of always buying used goods. But obviously, a secondary market still encourages the primary market. It’s not a perfect solution.
Intuitively, it's hard to believe that witnessing and using violence doesn't have any negative effect on a person, even if in videogames.

I think that rather than asking ourselves "does this have a negative impact?" we should ask "what can I do that has a positive impact?".

Personally, I would never work on a game with significant violence. From my point of view, there are so many other things a human being can contribute towards the well-being and progress of humanity, and I would not feel happy with myself if I limited my contribution and my creativity to making another shooter.

> I know plenty of people

And I know plenty of statistical evidence that says you're wrong. Just looking at wage stagnation and inflation numbers is enough to demonstrate there's a real problem being experienced by people every single day.

But, hey, I'm sure your anecdotes are every bit as compelling...
“Early humans”? Humans, essentially modern from a biological point of view, had been around for a hundred thousand years by then.
The previous poster made a very obvious point that work is not voluntary when the alternative is punishment, which your post very helpfully illustrates as “sitting in [a] tiny little cell.” This doesn’t seem like a point that should require so much explanation for thinking people.
And yet Tim Cook has the cheek to get 'woke'. Apple could easily afford to build everything in a country that isn't an awful dictatorship running concentration camps and still earn obscene profits.

And yet they still somehow maintain this aura of being the 'good guys'...
> The problem I have with these type of solutions is basically the time it takes to just quickly bookmark.

This is a significant issue. I've been thinking of making my own bookmark storage/sorting thing as others didn't quite match my exact needs/preferences. But a key problem that I have, which I don't think I'm unique in, is that I'm often too lazy to even bookmark - I just open things in new tabs and leave them there until I get around to going back or forget the relevance and close a pile of windows/tabs to save memory...

Yeah. The two income households came first. Inflation doesn't happen for no reason. It happens because everyone gets more bits of paper so everything costs more bits of paper because there are only so many things.

There's a huge tax advantage to living in a two income house. Two people earning 30k each will pay significantly less tax than one earning 60k. It's very difficult to raise a family with one income now and it's tragic. Women are wasting their lives do menial make-work instead of the one thing they all want to do sooner or later but should have done sooner. We're failing our women by making them work.
