Hitler is far from unique in pushing one ethnic group out. Throughout human history that has, sadly, been common.

Percentages are important, but Hitler was responsible for the death of millions. Absolute numbers matter too.

I looked more into the history. (Your cite doesn't give 600,000 for the figure killed by Cromwell, but for the whole civil war. In fact, the author ends "One wonders how many of the c. 600,000 victims died during Cromwell's campaign." The cite there is to Michael St John Parker, which I can't find.) I'm still hunting for reliable estimates of the population decline. Houston and Houston "Population history" isn't available online. The writers in Ohlmeyer (cited below) don't seem to put up a headline figure. William Petty's estimates aren't modern enough to be useful, although Petty was a serious writer. Note two points. First, population decline isn't the same as causing deaths, especially in a young population. Iraq after 1990 saw "missing population" of up to a million due to sanctions, but this is probably not because a million people were directly killed. You also have to account for declining birth rates and emigration. For instance, marriages fell sharply at the start of the civil war period. Other deaths were due to famine and starvation. Again, these are appalling, buut they are not the same as murder in death camps.

More importantly, these are figures for the entire 1641-1661 conflict. But Cromwell was only there relatively briefly. He didn't start the conflict, nor finish it. He became a shorthand for the whole English policy of the period. That is not necessarily fair to him.

None of this makes Cromwell innocent. (Still less does it make the English leadership as a whole innocent.) But the Hitler comparison are still overblown:

* Cromwell took part in a brutal colonial civil war, which devastated the Irish economy and led to famine and disease. He was responsible for massacres at Wexford and Drogheda.

* Hitler committed deliberate, systematic genocide against at least two ethnic groups, setting up scientific-industrial systems of mass murder which killed millions.

These are not the same.

Things I read while learning more about this:

https://academic.oup.com/past/article-abstract/195/1/55/1523...

Rai, M., 1993. Columbus in Ireland. Race & Class, 34(4), pp.25-34.

Ohlmeyer, J.H. ed., 2002. Ireland from independence to occupation, 1641-1660. Cambridge University Press.

Update. The most serious, detailed estimates I could find are:

Lenihan, P., 1997. War and population, 1649–52. Irish Economic and Social History, 24(1), pp.1-21, available at

https://search.proquest.com/docview/1292941669/fulltextPDF/A...

These give an estimate of population decline of 15-20%, mostly due to famine and plague (which the war was instrumental in spreading).
It definitely still looks like a segmented display, with large pixel units each comprised of a few strands.

It's likely using weaved vertical and horizontal fibers, with it scanning through each horizontal fiber, triggering the vertical lines in tandem to illuminate a pixel at crossing points in the row.

What do you mean hidden costs of nuclear? All of those you listed are a well defined part in the costs, and considered from the start of a nuclear power plant, with provisions required for decomissioning and storage.

As for Germany, nuclear is their only CO2-free base load power option, so comparing costs to solar that only works when sun shines isn't apt. A good winter storm and tidal, wind and solar are out for hours - what do you do then? Coal? Gas? Or just have nuclear for base to start with? And yes, one day there could be massive grid-scale storage, maybe.

Completely agree. People want you to ask questions because, in a remote world, your visibility is via the real-time channels (Slack, Teams, etc).

You can't manufacture military drones by the millions.

It's also failing to actually realize military objectives. The problem isn't delivering bullets or explosives to the target, it's finding the target in the first place.

Drone surveillance is a much bigger threat than killer drones. You are more likely to be thrown into prison because of drone technology than being killed.
Wow. It takes a lot of money to take on the PayPal monster huh? Incredible.
All satellite dishes are easily detectable when they are in operation - they have to transmit RF radiation which can be detected and pinpointed to source anywhere from low-altitude all the way up to space. Anyone of a certain age who lived in a country that required TV licenses remembers the enforcement trucks that would detect RF emissions from vacuum-tube TV sets using directional antennae.
Well another provision of the ACA was the 80/20 rule, Insurance Companies have to spend 80% of premiums on care or refund the customers. So their overhead, salaries, etc was limit to the remaining 20%. Sounds great until you think it through a bit and realize that for them to increase their profits they need to increase premiums, they also then have to increase the payouts and the Hospitals, Doctors, Anesthesiologists, etc.. are all fine with getting paid more. So there you go higher premiums to cover their increased $ value of their 20%. Everyone in the system except the patient benefits from increasing prices.

Show HN: Neutbook – Collect unbiased feedback from your team in a sprint retro
Hello Everybody,

I have been working on my project, Neutbook, as part of YC startup school build sprint. It's a super simple tool to collect unbiased, and honest feedback from your team in a sprint retrospective. Viewing feedback from others is disabled to reduce bias and is completely anonymous.

It doesn't do anything more than collecting feedback. And it has absolutely no bells and whistles at this point in time. I would love feedback from anyone in the community.

It is live on https://www.neutbook.com

You can reach me on msprabhakara@gmail.com for any questions.

Thanks for trying it out!

> such a nice render

Guess, you mean this one[0,1,2], right?

If so, I just:

1) modeled MOC in LeoCAD & saved it as `.ldr`;

2) imported `.ldr` into Blender 2.79 (you may use later version) using ImportLDraw addon[3] & just rendered it in "Cycles" render mode (in later versions of Blender its possible use "Eevee" render mode too);

3) final touches was made using AzPainter[4] image editor.

That's all! If you are interested in more LDraw tools and other digitallego resources check the "AWESOME LDraw" list.[5]

There is good guide on ImportLDraw usage for realistic rendering.[6,7]

I find this with some brands but not with others, so assumed it was a solved problem and some manufacturers are just cutting corners on bottle design. Is this not the case?
Please senpai give me advice where to find real info.
Presumably HN has many intelligent people on it. I am continually perplexed, given that, by all the comments assuming that autonomous driving will be better than human driving any time soon. Can you name one open problem domain that automation does better than a human at present? Does AI make better art? Does it make better written arguments? Does AI wire houses? Does AI deliver mail? Does AI cook food in a kitchen? Does AI repair machines? No to all these and many more. The only domain that "AI" has been demonstrated to work better than or close to as good as a human is in closed problems like board games and to an extent language translation and similar things, perhaps image analysis, and things like welding a seam in the same spot on an assembly line. So given that we have at present 0 examples of competent open domain AI, and given that driving on a road is an open domain problem, why the heck is it that presumably intelligent people think that general autonomous driving technology is likely to be around the corner (and better than human)?

Maybe we should try making a robotic chef first before we attempt a driver.

To date all AI is pattern matching in closed domains. It is not capable of solving open ended problems like how do I safely pilot a car given an indefinite number of "edge conditions."

Particularly interesting that the Irish sovereign treasury is co-leading this round.
As far as I'm aware, dealing with the waste has cost taxpayers in Germany quite a lot over the last couple of decades, and all of the really hot stuff is sitting in glorified warehouses with no end in sight. I have a feeling this may still become a very significant part of the overall costs. Has any other country actually solved that problem?

Mostly the compiler won't catch violation of the storage association rules. Toolpack had a useful tool for strict F77 code which was a boon fixing stuff not to break with the Alliant compiler, which was the first one the project I inherited used that took advantage of the optimization opportunity. Possibly Cray's would have done, but hadn't been used for a while at that point.

The fact that people won't believe the rules exist, is a continual source of bug hunting in Fortran unfortunately. At least restrict is visible.
I have no clue what this article has to do with hacker news to be honest. Skimming through the article the jurisdiction in this case seems plausible to me:

"""the court ruled that the state's interest in ensuring parental support for the young child — "the only truly innocent party" — outweighed its interest in protecting juveniles"""
Ok, that would make a huge difference. the biggest argument I"ve made against this with people is simply that the latency would be terrible (and it's still not great), but it's a helluva lot better than 22.3k.
I have no idea who you're addressing. If it's me, that's quite a nice strawman you've built. Next time perhaps try to actually address the words written in my comment rather than inventing some boogeyman that nobody brought up except you.

Here, I'll demonstrate:

>high-speed Internet access for the entire planet

Musk himself has said that only a tiny, tiny fraction of the world will ever be able to use Starlink. It is not anywhere close to "internet access for the entire planet", and certainly isn't providing any more internet access than is already provided by existing satellite internet providers.

>or professional astronomers not being able to see into space as easily as they did 20 years ago?

In case you weren't aware, astronomy is responsible for some of the most significant scientific advancements since for literally millennia. If you really want an answer to your questions, it's this: professional astronomers being prevented from doing research is significantly more of a negative impact to humanity's advancement than the positive impact from 0.001% of the world having access to lower ping internet. It's not even close.

>or... Or... OR... Launching massive powerful telescopes into space using SpaceX rockets for professional astronomers to use?

Even with something the size of Starship, it's physically impossible to launch anything even remotely close to the size of telescopes needed by professional astronomers.
>If a truck full of solar panels crashes on the highway, that highway doesn’t become a superfund site. It doesn’t cost hundreds of millions to clean up, the local community doesn’t see a massive spike in cancer.

> And I don't know who you think is getting "free money". The Fed creates it and then uses it to buy bonds. It then gives most of the excess earnings from those bonds to the US Treasury.

To add to this point, the amount of income the treasury gets from the Fed is tiny compared to the amount it gets from taxation.
That makes no sense. It's just another nuke at that point.

Most people don't realize how revolutionary Arduino and Raspberry Pi were in bridging the gap from BASIC PICs to modern day microcontrollers and low cost single board computers. Their efforts forced manufacturers across the world to design for both layman and professionals, without which we would all still be using IDEs costing several hundred dollars. Even FPGAs now are slowly embracing open source and user friendly UIs.

The main page is much better context for a general discussion. To someone who does not already regularly make models with LeoCAD or intend to do so in the immediate future, and especially to someone who doesn't even know what LeoCAD is, these release notes are not very useful. But here they are:

> Added option to draw conditional lines. Added option to draw logos on studs. Added option to draw high contrast studs. Added option to configure edge colors. Added new find/replace widget. Improved Bricklink xml export. Added option to paste parts and keep their original steps. Added model measurements to the Properties Dialog. Load official parts before unofficial parts. Fixed mac retina display issues.
Its good for general use, but its not an exact release announcement.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply, I want you to know I'm not trying to attack you, just expand your mindset.

It's very common for others to attribute their own failures to something outside their control, but look at others and attribute those people's failures to things inside their control. They also do the opposite for successes. Which I suppose in my own way, I might be doing to yours. But do know I think your success likely took both hard work and luck, and without the hard work it would have likely not panned out.

I disagree that everyone "should be able to put 10% away". It's simply not possible for everyone, and even if they do emergencies happen (car breaks down, sickness, etc.). Once again, you're speaking from a realm of opinion and not reality.

I don't think anyone would disagree that mindset is important, and continuing to try and persevere is important as well. But I do think folks disagree on it always panning out in the end.

Even you, at one point in the future, either due to illness or misfortune, might end up needing more than a shift in mindset to survive or dig yourself out.

Empathy is about more than advice or optimistic mindsets, it's about realizing we should help each other, because sometimes things really are out of our control.

It's about listening to this person, really listening, and understanding their situation before offering platitudes.
It becomes easier to morally wrestle with questions about the fairness of child support payments in various cases, when you realize that the central question is about providing justice (aka, financial stability) to the child — not to the mother, and not to the father.
Of all the hilariously stupid things coming out of the scammy world of crypto, NFTs take the biscuit. I've been hearing A16Z and other VC podcast breathlessly talk about the brave new world they enable. Now you can have digital assets in games, people can buy them with real money! Finally, because that's of course not possible without The Blockchain (tm).

And people can use them to prove ownership of physical things, TRUSTLESSLY. Because it's so much safer to have decentralised system of digital bearer shares, than a central registry run by the government or a bank, right?

Oh but it's for third world countries where the state is not to be trusted. Of course that also means you can't trust them to enforce your digital bearer shares either, but that shouldn't be a big problem. We'll just get all the farmers and villagers to agree on using one particular blockchain bases system to keep track of who owns what land. What could be simpler.

And if you thought that was stupid, enter NFTs for digital art. Yes let's use advanced technology to create digital tokens that can't be copied, and use them to track the ownership of digital art that can be copied indefinitely. Brilliant.
I am not sure I understand your claim... there are many global-scale companies that do moderate their entire site... Google, Reddit, Amazon.

Well, and I could be wrong. Paypal was able to be basically a bank without having to follow any of the rules of what a bank needed to follow.

Sorta like Uber being a taxi service without having to follow any of the rules of a taxi service.

My guess is it's very expensive to beat someone who has already broken the rules to get to where they are before the rules caught up to them.
