If you attack me and I shoot you, you're to blame for your death, not me.

If a country attacks me and I counterattack to make sure you can't attack me anymore, you remain at blame.

There are details, like deliberate civilian attacks vs collateral, but at the end of the day, the duty of a country is to protect it's own citizens, and not the citizens of the aggressor.

There's a difference between deliberate targeting of civilians and collateral damage. The latter is acceptable, as the alternative is literally impossible.

At the end of the day, fight from civvy areas, get civvy areas demolished. That's the nature of the beast.

If you establish HQ in a building, that's now an acceptable target. The alternative is that civilian areas are an invulnerability shield that lets you conduct whatever operations you want.

And this is Israel holding back. They have the option to level all of Gaza, they don't. They do roof knocks, conduct evacuations. And they didn't break the ceasefire conditions either.

Can't give anything but acceptance of civilian casualties when the Hamas gameplan is literally to attack from civilian areas.

At the end of the day, Hamas is deliberately putting civilian lives in the line of fire, and are wholly to blame for this. Chastising Israel for deaths caused by this strategy is as good as legitimizing attacks from civilian territories, and will only increase this in the future.

This is considering that Israel had done a degree due diligence in harm mitigation (roof knocking, evacuations). Contrast this with Hamas, which deliberately attacks civilian areas.

Kinda funny, but my experience was quite the opposite there. When migrating our codebase from flake8 to ruff, I actually found a number of bugs in flake8 and flake 8 bugbear that were resolved by a more correct implementation in ruff

I do recall some soft limits though. Back where I was, they tried to keep a certain number of locals on staff.

Gotcha, censorship of stuff you don't like isn't censorship

If I was a dev there, I certainly wouldn't be approving those PRs either.

But if the devs at the org all (or even substantially) tend towards malicious compliance, that's a sign that something has gone wrong, relations-wise

Sounds like they're justified for blocking you then.

At the end of the day, it boils down to this.

Do you rather have your kid to have big N% chance of being abused, or small n%. At a micro level, you might get more control, but at the macro level, the results in aggregate are what matter.

There's something to be said about a defense of this that doesn't account for random sampling.

Assuming that they did a proper sample of said papers, that implies that for whatever domain they sampled, 26% is likely a decent estimate of actual issues. Increasing the scale doesn't make a proportional estimate any better.

That sounds like the problem to solve then. Otherwise you're just applying a band-aid to an aortic rupture.

They do show that for the subset he was talking about. Competitive online games are extremely male dominated.

Similarly, the puzzle-solving spot the difference type of games are exceedingly female dominated.

Says a lot that @Vt71fcAqt7 is describing a chosen segment with population analyses, while you're giving as bad-faith a response as I've seen on HN.

Deliberate filtering to shape opinion.

Deliberate being the key word here.

If I suck at sampling and make a bias model, I suck at sampling. If I shape a model to neuter it and ensure that it only puts out morally approved outputs, that slants significantly heavier towards censorship

That is exactly how society works.

If people work for my living and see someone just steal for theirs with absolutely no consequence, what they learn is that social dysfunction is optimal, and that doing otherwise is being a chump.

Green name, and an absolute stereotype of a name at that.

I think this bugger is grade AAA troll.

>it seems that running an anticheat is greater priority than a linux client

Yes. Unless you have a better way of mitigating the cheaters, you'll find this to be the preferred choice by almost everyone. In this bubble, people are going to decry the loss of control. But in their market, the problem has gotten so bad, that not doing so would rapidly evaporate their entire product.

Honestly, at the rate this goes, I might get my .hack dream yet.

In a way, OC is absolutely mainstream now. It's now integrated into the product itself, which dynamically clocks itself depending on thermal headroom.

There's thus minimal need for users to do any manual overclocking any more.

Because that totally works.

Look at youtube and the phenomenal work done there to get the same contentID'd video on via transforms.

Yes, at least for the consumer gpus, which have hit a 20y low

That logic also can go towards the breeding machine side for a population in decline. If men can be drafted to die for the country, can women be drafted to grow it?

It's interesting you put it this way, since one of the reasons for Tokyo's public transport success has been exactly this "property owning".

>It does make me question though, where did society choose to draw the line and why is the line drawn there.

The line moves, as and when someone in society gets up in arms at exactly that and is sufficiently powerful to move it. See "mentally handicapped", "special needs", etcetera. A new word gets generated that's less "bad", but it doesn't resolve the issue that the concept it describes is fundamentally bad.

It is.

If the effect is largely not because of discrimination, and discrimination is far more often stated as the cause, I know who I'd be calling dishonest here.

This goes double for anything directed at the public, since a short soundbite is all you get.

Or a form of identification, like most other countries have.

Is there any way it can be framed to not be related to Positive Discrimination?

Then perhaps the proper response from opponents of Affirmative Action is to game said honor system. Identify as Black/Native American only for as long is it takes to get in.

We're getting close to 1: Feeling objects.

If you're sufficiently handy with a soldering iron and have access to a 3d printer, there's a guy doing Open Source force-feedback gloves out there.
