Someone else compared 84k death to 3k death in this thread, so it seems to have a good historical and archaeological basis.

The figures can be discussed, but all this means then is that we're in agreement and "Now we're just haggling about the price"

Genocide (or at least the destruction of the native culture) may be a morally consistent position for those who believe in utilitarianism: if you don't like the idea of child sacrifice, it may be better to destroy a culture that favors child sacrifice.

The morally consistency of similar problems has been explored by Yudkowsky on "baby eating aliens": https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/n5TqCuizyJDfAPjkr/the-baby-e...

That's standard operating procedure for these fintech payment processing companies. To increase the amount of new users and lower 'friction' they're performing underwriting/due-diligence after accounts have processed transactions. Something with your transaction amounts or business is out of the ordinary, or outside of their underwriting terms and triggered the closure.
In the US, they're known for having lots of coupons and specials, and being cheap. The cheese has a weird consistency, to me at least.

I don't think your claim about numbers killed by the spanish inquisition vs aztecs on a single day are accurate, although it's a weird thing to compare. (and the inquisition is a mostly separate thing from colonization?) And generally I'm not sure how you compare mass brutality ("infinitely less brutal"?), but the Spanish invasion of the Americas, beginning with Columbus, was shockingly shockingly brutal on many occasions.

But what I'm really curious about is why people are so obsessed with comparing mass brutality like this.

It seems like it's always to excuse it, right? Like, if it's not singular, it is okay? If someone says "Oh, the Nazis actually didn't kill so many more people than X, you know, as a % of population" -- does whether this is true or not even matter to our assessment of nazi genocide? What might be the motivation of someone making this claim? Or their implied suggestion as the significance of the comparison?

I would say that it's true that people sometimes romantisize all pre-contact American civilizations, some of which at some times/places were indeed also brutal empires. But the reason we pay more attention to, say, the brutality of the Spanish invasion of the Americas than to the Incas brutality is becuase it's the Spanish colonization that resulted in the world system we have today, and has lasting implications for it. If the Inca Empire (which was actually pretty new when the invasion began) had won and its descendent societies still ruled today, we'd be talking about different things.And if the Incan empire had invaded Europe and decimated it and still ruled parts of it today, well, yeah, we'd be talking about pretty different things. Nothing very puzzling about that.
Slavery still exists today. It's everywhere we just choose to ignore it for the small chance that one of us will become insanely wealthy. It's just greed. Everyone is capable of it in any time.
Hi again :). We both have an axe to grind.

I was just giving some support to the parent comment about the scale of sacrifices compared with the Spanish inquisition.

Even if the number is 4000, its still quite comparable with the number of executions of the Spanish inquisition over 3 centuries.

About [1], yes, I do not dispute that. But we were comparing different systems and that the Aztec system was much more cruel from a modern standard.
Honestly, this is such a sad comment. The real answer to that question is left as an exercise to the reader. Not putting in one iota of effort to find common ground with your fellow human beings is the bane of democracy as a form of government.

I don't think this is as clear-cut as you write. I'm not sure what the law is in other countries, but in Poland, minors can make transactions, i.e., purchase stuff. This assumes that minors can consent to certain things. The burden of making sure that the transaction is fair is on the adult, and the type and value of the transaction must be adequate for the minor's age. 7yo can buy bubble gum, 12yo can purchase a book, and 17yo can purchase $60+ game. However, if an adult sells $400 laptop to 12yo, the parents of that 12yo can demand the seller to return the money to them without returning the product (ideally, they would return it), or return damaged product. The rationale is that 12yo cannot correctly handle such a valuable item, and the seller should've known better. I'm pretty sure the 12yo would not even need a receipt for the laptop - after all, the seller might not have given it to them (of course, some kind of proof would be needed).

I assume similar laws exist in other countries, and hence societies recognize the capacity of minors to consent to some things.
They can do that, and it is how this specific case was handled eventually.
Yeah I'm not convinced that reputation is earned. As I said elsewhere in the thread modules are built significantly more rugged than the equivalent stick built construction due to having to survive the rigors of transportation and installation.

Anyone know something like these but that supports GPU? I'm struggling a bit to figure out the best way to host a demo that involves a deep learning component. Usage is expected to be bursty so I don't want to constantly have to rent an unknown number of instances just because I don't know when people will use it. Seems like a good use case for "serverless" but those (Lambda, etc) don't seem to support GPU either. Maybe I need some DL-specific backend service instead of going for a regular web host?

> Buying a house to live in it is fulfilling a crucial basic need.

Absolutely.

> It's extremely different from an investment in many ways

That is not so true, and is part of the problem, in two ways.

(1) People are buying properties to live in at one stage in their lives, when they have high incomes, or prospect of high incomes, thinking they will sell when they are older and make a large profit they will use to fund their retirement. This drives up prices and drives out people with lower incomes.

(2) The above is part of the cause of the housing bubble. Also driven by increasing populations. As that bubble goes the way of all bubbles, especially as population decline sets in, those people get to retirement with an asset that is not worth anything like what they expected. This will cause a lot of impoverishment (some actual poverty too) amongst a lot of those older people

Yes. We all need somewhere to live. Also most of us (those who have incomes) need a place to save.

It is a problem that the two things are confused now.

> You’ve taken a tweet and you’re now trying to define a narrow window of acceptable discussion about the tweet based on it’s title. How many conversations are you having in real life that stick to such rigid parameters? That’s not how conversation works.

Ad hominem, focused on me for some reason. Straw man, by inaccurately rephrasing my argument in order to attack it. And fallacy of control, apparently a belief that you control definitions of terms and how things work. This was followed by going beyond the scope of our discussion to other discussions you deem valid.

> You can’t just just pick and choose that all technical discussion of the topic must now be about the improved graphics and nothing else. You also can’t assume that your interpretation of the title is the correct one or the one the author intended. Doing so is arrogance, which ironically enough, is one of the nine diagnostic criteria of Narcissistic Personality Disorder according to the DSM-5.

More control fallacy, straw man, ad hominem, but I believe this also includes the mind-readers fallacy. Apparently I am being scolded for what I secretly believe and my argument has been completely lost to the void. To avoid fallacy, one must ignore the person, focus on their argument without molesting it, avoid attempts to control them or assert what is in their mind can be known. What is said is the realm of valid argument. I did none of these things and my right to my opinion, whether correct or incorrect, is absolute.
Merge requests review UI is nowhere as good as github

This is my main issue with it. I don't really care about the settings UI: mostly using the API for that because I have a couple of projects which all need
the same settings, and otherwise it's not visited often. Code review on the other hand is super common, and its UI in combination with that UI also not being very fast is quite annoying.
I tend to use nesting in combination with some form of scoped CSS (e.g. CSS modules, or the built-in forms available in Vue/Svelte). For me, this helps a lot with refactoring code, because each style is only relevant to a single component. Nesting is then useful within that component for handing specific states (e.g. `.active`, or indeed `:active` and other pseudo-classes), but it can never get too out of hand, because the CSS as a whole is very connected to its component. If I change the component markup, I know where to look up change the CSS (and vice versa), and if I'm making broader changes then I know quite easily when a particular file or declaration is no longer necessary.
If you've been processing for years, you've passed their underwriting process and have nothing to fear as long as you don't have a sudden increase in chargebacks or a wild shift in payment volume / average sale.
> When I was in high school we were advised, in no uncertain terms, that the mixed race students should not hesitate to identify with their non-white ancestry on their application and that doing so gives them an advantage.

One important caveat to this - I am not quite sure this would accomplish the desired effect if the other parent of such a kid was asian. Listing themselves as an asian instead of white for pretty much all top schools would almost definitely decrease their chances.

I wanted to give some advice as someone else who has to go it alone. I'm guessing that you're either from poverty/a lower class background like I am OR that you have an abusive family controlling resources (like my mother's family). Making it as a disabled person looks very different depending on whether or not you have a safety net/professional network/etc.

Another thing to keep an eye on since you mentioned being a bit blindsided by the cognitive effects is emotional effects. I can still program, but my ability to emotionally regulate has gone way down and I'm very emotionally labile in a way I wasn't before. Which means I can't exist well in a professional environment because white-collar work means you have to mind your Ps and Qs, hide your impoverished background (always be careful about what you say), etc. Which I can't do. Everybody in retail/service work is traumatized, so they'll overlook a random crying session or a rant with a few f-bombs a lot easier.

Yeah I wonder if the Dad was a manager so he put his son to work or something. They said these were "documented" citizens which I assume means they're not illegal child immigrants. The only other thing we know is that most of these factories were set up by Koreans companies, so they're probably not super small mom and pop shops. The fact they didn't go more in depth into their situation makes me wonder if it's because it goes contrary to the narrative, I know Reuters has a habit of doing that
I'm not actually an expert on this, so I can't say for sure. I know of only 2 compatibility issues, by order of decreasing importance (IMHO):

1) Some DNS servers don't yet support DNSSEC (presumably including the DNS servers of some ISPs?)

Presumably this could be solved by contacting the admins of the affected DNS servers and asking them to update their DNS server software. I think this is the biggest issue I know of.

2) The hostnames of NTP servers on DNSSEC domains can't be resolved when the client's clock is too out-of-sync.

As another poster mentioned, this is not an inherent problem with DNSSEC, as TLS or any other similar security scheme would have the same problem.

Presumably, until the issue can be solved in some better way, you'd have to have a couple of NTP servers on your config on non-DNSSEC domains or addressed by their IP addresses. For corporate networks, perhaps you could have a trusted NTP server (or servers) with stable clocks (or even GPS clocks) on your private network and address them by IP address.
> Working in a family business is protected. Even working as a 13-16 year old in some jobs is allowed as long as it’s outside of school hours. We allow for a gradual introduction into working for children instead of a hard line at 18.

Fun fact, tax breaks encourage this as long as you report the income, then some of the parents' income can be offset by the income that the child "earns" as that is tax deductible. Of course this is not financial advice and consult your own tax professional.

> What is not protected is working in an industrial factory all day. Hell I had a job at target when I was 17 and I was allowed to do anything other than operate the trash compactor as that was heavy machinery.

You are doing measuring wrong (look at distributions, not a number), and moving to the cloud wrong (rearchitect with elasticity and serverless in mind, don’t just put it on instances).

I was hoping those lessons would be a bit more common by now.
If they have images of French people, in France, then they have a business operation in France. If they failed to note the origin of the consent they received when collecting images that’s their problem, and they should be required to remove all images that they cannot prove are not French people who consented to being recorded.

Obviously this depends on them getting any consent at all, and if they didn’t then they should be required to delete the data the acquired illegitimately.
I can think of at least two of the RISC pioneers who have cited buggy CISC architectures / microcode as a key motivating reason for adopting RISC.

I actually cited an example of a major CISC design that basically failed because it was so buggy.

The early microprocessors all had hard coded microcode - Intel only had upgradeable microcode with P6 in the mid 1990s.

I didn't say that it was the reason - there were many reasons - but that it was one factor. It was absolutely the case that original RISC designs were simpler to design and that helped them to get traction.

Edit - just to add that caches enabled RISC to get decent performance but they were not by themselves a reason for choosing RISC over CISC.

What's up with all of these articles about the dangers of gas stoves? Did everyone suddenly forget that people used to commit suicide by "putting their head inside an oven" or the danger of leaving the gas on? The practical dangers of gas stoves have been discussed for years and years, so the sudden spate of "gas stove danger" articles really seems bizarre.

You don’t pay the cloud providers (just) for their computing power.
Their ToS probably gives them wide latitude to arbitrarily freeze funds without having to compensate you. Not to mention, any lost interest pales in comparison to any legal fees. The federal funds rate is currently 3.08%. Apply that over 120 days and it's only 1.01%. If a lawsuit cost $10k (very conservative estimate), you'd need to have 990k frozen by stripe for it to be worth it. Even if all it took was a sternly worded letter from a lawyer (estimated cost: $300), you'd to have $30k frozen for it to break even.
Telling the OP that this is the case. Offering them the opportunity to supply evidence to the contrary.

The standard line in cases like this (whether it's a frozen payments account, a rejected app, or a suspended social media account) is that you can't tell someone what rule they broke, because this gives too much informative feedback to actual malicious actors about how they got caught. I call bullshit. Until someone can demonstrate that this is an actual problem, I will believe it to be a fake problem, purely an excuse used by giant companies to justify their systematically hostile (and cheap) approach to customer service.

No.

If the game renders on time, what you see on screen is always the latest completed image that was ready at previous vsync.

With two buffers, if you render too long and miss vsync and then call flip() which waits until the next vsync, you're wasting the frame waiting (because the system can only swap buffers at vsync, to prevent tearing).

The third buffer only exists so that the game can start working on the next frame, while two of the buffers are "locked" (one on screen, other ready for display, third available).
I'm sorry if I misinterpreted the thrust of your argument. The way you pointed out this was a Korean-run factory and that it was 'extremely unusual' to be carried out by American companies sounded to me like relativizing what was (or is) going on here.
