I already told you the answer to this.

There are easier ways to pirate a game than this, as getting banned after an hour is not a good user experience, and the user would be better off just pirating the game.

For which you had no response.

The only specific reason that you gave, which was "they could just make more accounts" I refuted by describing how it would be easier to just pirate a game.

And then you refused to address the refutation, because you didn't have a response.

If you didn't have any specifics arguments about that point you could have just said so.

Because I was talking about the actual, specific arguments, about why your previous statement of "make infinity accounts" was wrong, and you are now continuing on being incapable of giving a response to that specific statement.
Just realised that the point I've made in response to a comment probably should be a level higher:

Don't trust the radiation monitoring system, the actual monitoring system has been destroyed by a rocket impact three days ago.

The monitoring system has been shot down on 1 Sep.

Here is the statement from the Nuclear Agency in Ukraine:

On March 1, 2022 at 11:40 as a result of rocket impact, the communication network of Zaporizhzhya NPP was damaged. As a result, the Automated Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS) of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant lost its full functionality and stopped the transmission of data to the international radiation monitoring network IRMIS. IAEA has been informed about the incident.

Drone striking middle eastern children didn't do it for you? Something about this rhetoric I keep seeing is just so.. selective. So nakedly biased. If people feel so strongly about Russias actions in Europe, how is it that millions of dead Muslims are inconsequential?

That question is rhetorical, I think it's obvious why that really is

> The only exception I can think of is the PS2; PCSX2 can play PS2 games directly from a standard optical drive

I'm not sure of anything else directly as easy, but both the PSP and Wii could be made to rip their own disks, with the appropriate firmware installed, and some PC DVD drives were apparently Wii-disc compatible, but not all.

As you say though, it's extra work even then. I think I would probably buy the game and then download from an internet source, if I wanted to emulate but stay honest.

The experts on there are NOT concerned. At least yet.

Lots of scope for misinformation and panic here (understandably) as it’s a live developing story, but I don’t think we all need to retire to our bunkers just yet.

Would urge caution about reading too much into this until we have a bit more info. Rushing to try and interpret live radiation levels and talk of “this escalates to nuclear war” is a bit premature.

That's a weird way to put that. American newsletters have an unsubscribe link because our Congress passed a law in 2003. But Americans lets prescription drugs advertise on television, which is an indefensible barbarism. So it goes. Every country has a different vision of what nuisances are and are not worth of regulation.
Borders of this war are drastically in Russia's favor. They control the entire north (Belarus), east (Russia) and south (Crimea and Black Sea). Ukraine could potentially use their western borders with friendly countries to their advantage, but those are long ways away from the key population centers of the country. After a strike in, say, Kyiv, they will have to drive 7+ hours to hide in Poland.

You are welcome, also I saw you commented about rising radiation levels somewhere else earlier. I think this has been covered perhaps before you chimed in, a physicist claimed that the higher radiation levels, assuming they are actually recorded, could very likely be caused by the weapons used in the are and not reflect the true levels. I unfortunately don't have the necessary expertise to explain that further, but I assume it's simmiliar to smoking a ciggarette into a air pollution sensor.

> I am tired of repeating myself about how I hate this situation, but the victims are not Russian grandmasters, they are Ukrainian children.

Nobody in this thread has denied that Ukrainian children are victims, and nobody has disagreed that there should be a reaction.

What people are questioning is who should be targeted by this reaction, and with what actions. Your stance, as I read it, is everyone who is Russian, because there is no other way. Even with that, people didn't argue against, at least when it comes to economic sanctions. But bans that do not affect the war criminals, but only common people (aka, civilians)? That does feel petty and unnecessary. And to be clear, unlike others in the thread I don't suggest selecting people based on their opinion -- it feels too antithetic to our democratic ideals (so that it is clear, I personally despise these opinions).

Forgive me for changing the focus a bit, but since you bring up the plight of children, it is likely that Russian children will also suffer from the consequences of economic sanctions. Some will grow up in poverty because of this mess, some will die indirectly, from the effects of poverty. I don't really have a solution to that (right now the efforts should go to stop the war in Ukraine), and that doesn't mean that sanctions can be avoided, but I do think that they are also victims.
Damn, maybe one of the sides should consider fixing that before they proceed with shooting at each other.

Afghanistan supplies drugs(opium poppy) to pharmaceutical companies for turning into American painkillers. I don't know why it should matter if a countries main export is oil anyways?

I'm surprised the author depends on a single visual model for numbers. To provide another data point, my ordinal numbers are brightly colored (maybe an association with award ribbons I'd get in elementary school); cardinals with no extra structure are specific clusters of bluish cubes (8 is 2x2x2); when ring structure shows up, they're malleable grids (maybe because the distributive law's self similarity made learning the times table easier); for just multiplication, colored lights in a poset (so L-function identities "look like" intricate lattices of Christmas lights). For general groups, not much: I just feel like I'm playing a board game.

It's hard to imagine having only one instinctive visualization for integers.
> It's not acceptable to prohibit a use case because some people are using it for illicit purposes, assuming that all aren't.

Sure it is. Try extending this argument to every other kind of business. Most shops, for example, don’t let you take whatever you want off the shelves and promise to mail them a check later. Even if many people would be honest, enough wouldn’t that it would make their business unsustainable (or at least substantially less profitable). Therefore, they almost universally prohibit this.

That’s just one example among many. The logical conclusion of your argument is that it’s unacceptable for any business not to extend unlimited trust to all their customers unconditionally.

The blog post specifically mentions Che Guevara's two failed revolutions as examples. Some more modern examples I can think of would be FARC in Colombia, or Shining Path in Peru, or LTTE in Sri Lanka. "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland would also probably qualify.
Evidently the point of the manylinux project is to make it easy to distribute Python binary wheels for Linux, so that basically is their use case. Though they're not building for arbitrary old versions — they're building for a concrete set of old OS versions defined by Python standards. I think the idea is that you don't want to require everyone installing your Python module to have a full set of build tools installed, so they're providing a way to distribute a binary module that supports a guaranteed set of supported Linuxes.

My best mental model for the leadership of Russia's Ukraine invasion is an abusive parent who can't get his kid to bend to his will. Repeated failed attempts cause the parent to become more emotional, destructive, and out of control of himself, so we've gone from just an unprovoked invasion with airport attacks, attacks on radar sites, and occupation of the exclusion zone; to trying to assassinate Zelenskyy and starting to target refugees, residential areas, and shooting at nuclear plants.

As Ukranians continue to fight back and the West plays economic games instead of taking decisive military action, the escalation will continue until, by the end, everyone will agree that we should have just risked the initial nuclear threats of Russia rather than having Putin start launching nuclear weapons after having also leveled most of Ukraine and done whatever other increments of catastrophic forms of abuse come to his team's minds unyil then.

Alternatively, Putin wins before he feels backed that far into a corner, or maybe he's deposed before we reach nuclear weapons. But I really can't picture him backing down from confrontation, given that he was of a mindset to invade Ukraine.
This might be a bit barbaric for the HN audience!
25%+ is the bare minimum at this stage, but really it should be close to 33% because they don't have anything built yet.

It's also not ideal that the "technical" co-founder who's family is not advanced technically. You guys will need to sort out who's taking the lead technically, from an implementation and eventually hiring perspective.

5-10% is more in line with startups that have secured pre-seed funding and are coming in as employee, examples here: https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/?team=...
Others have pointed out that, unfortunately, the threat of nuclear war never really went away, we just got better at ignoring it except at times like this.
I think what is uncommon in this scenario is that some people have a greater aptitude to express what they visualize. To communicate what is in their mind. To convert what is abstract thought into some form of communication. We all visualize numbers in a myriad of ways. For example, for me, numbers are not individual things or shapes. I see them as abstract spaces that are part of a greater whole (base 10). Its a thing that exists in my mind I cannot quite decribe. A very abstract blob of colors that diving a whole into units. Those boundaries shift and change when I think mathematically. I only "see" it when I try to describe it. Otherwise it happens automatically just like driving a manual car without giving it much thought.
The Cuban missile crisis seemed far less stupid. Like, shelling the nuclear power plant?

You're right. They're just providing a really good argument for the continuation of mass piracy of their products.
> The NATO message was clear & consistent that they will intervene in case of an attack on a member - there's 0 reason to believe otherwise.

Unfortunately that's not true.

The previous US president (who still has significant backing with US Congress and Senate) said this when asked about Article 5:

> I want to keep NATO but I want them to pay. I don’t want to be taken advantage of… We’re protecting countries that most of the people in this room have never even heard of and we end up in world war three… Give me a break[1]

And he later refused speeches that included a commitment to article 5:

> The crucial nuance is that Trump did not say that NATO’s original mission of countering Russian power in Europe is no longer obsolete. Indeed, he has never acknowledged this. The closest he has come is a general statement of strong support with caveats attached for burden sharing and counterterrorism. Trump’s failure to endorse Article 5 is not an oversight. Members of his cabinet have unsuccessfully tried to insert this language into his remarks, including at his meeting with Stoltenberg.[1]

Now eventually, Trump did endorse Article 5[2], but that kind of reluctance would have been very well noted in Moscow.

> Keep in mind that Putin's mythos was blown to pieces, there's no way he can (politically, if not physically) survive this.

After 9 days of war you think there is no way he can survive? Are you not familiar with the origins of Putin's Chechen War?

Claiming that Putin is done because a war he is winning is unpopular in the West is naive. It's certainly possible he is in trouble, but there is a long, long way to go before he falls.

> Why is there any notion of acceptability for a company’s rulings on how their copyrights should be protected?

From a legal perspective, there's not, companies can attack copyright infringement even if they don't do it in a moral or acceptable way.

However, from a legal perspective, emulators don't violate copyright and neither do videos teaching people how to use them. So if we want to talk about the acceptability of Nintendo claiming copyright on emulator videos, and if we want talk about the morality of emulating systems that are current-gen, and if we want to talk about the "typical use case" of emulation, then we're not really talking about laws anymore. In the context of those questions, it is valid to talk about whether or not a company's motivations are "acceptable", because we're not talking about legality.

The law is already settled on this point, building and distributing emulators is legal activity, even for current-generation systems. Social convention/responsibility are the only things people can debate about emulators. And legally speaking, at least a portion of these videos are probably fine (of course, Nintendo is unlikely to be called out on this because nobody wants to get sued even wrongfully over a Youtube video). We can debate whether or not they're responsible to make and post online, and we can debate whether or not they contribute to piracy, but legally they're probably not copyright infringement.

Nintendo is under no legal obligation to wield its copyright acceptably or responsibly, but also people who build emulators are under no legal obligation to make sure that no one pirates Nintendo games. I don't like how these conversations often get framed in a way where Nintendo is judged only on its legal obligations, but people who build and talk about emulators are judged on subjective social responsibilities that have nothing to do with the law.

Given two binary numbers a and b, the set of bits set to 1 in a|b is the union of the set of bits set to 1 in a and the set of bits set to 1 in b. Likewise for & (bitwise and) and intersection. So using bitwise operators to represent set operations like this is not too big of a stretch.

It doesn't give anyone the rights to anything. What it does though is provide a massive incentive for piracy. While I don't pirate myself, I can see many rational people do it for Nintendo products, and I don't have a good argument against it.
Still a fair callout. Edited my original comment to clarify.
Unironically, it is exactly that crisis that is key to understanding Russias actions right now, as there are many similar parallels. That, plus the 2.5T barrels worth of shale that Chevron and Exxon prospected underneath the Crimean peninsula.

If Russia really did go to war over securing some natural resources and a geopolitical strategic location, over a false pretense of something like liberation, it would sound so much like...well, us.

So let us take a quick moment of pause and realize that this demon lives well within our own borders, too.
