No, it's not morally equivalent, as one of these is very obviously unintentional and a result of simply living one's normal life, and the other is neither of those things. It's also somewhat irrelevant since the vaccines do n

Cars and gun ownership were not mandated by the government.

Perhaps "vaccine skeptics" say this because the Covid vaccines are not covered under VICP. They're covered under CICP, which is more stringent and has paid out one person $6 million, and a few hundred grand spread out between

It's often part of the life if you're lifting competitively.

No idea what you're basing these thoughts on, but I don't think you understand the military or what makes it effective. The reasons grooming standards are enforced are the same reasons anything is enforced.

Underreporting has been looked at in both military and the general population. Data is difficult to source and there are obvious methodological challenges on both sides. Conviction for sexual assault in the military is an automatic dishonor

You're just frankly uninformed. Shaving waivers have been so abused it's a running joke in the army. It's still trivially easy to have a doctor get you a waiver.

Facial hair doesn't matter, you're just required to shave. Tattoos don't matter unless they're in a particular set of extremes. Marijuana also really doesn't matter, it's easily waiverable if you didn't ha

This is based on nothing. The raising of the recruitment age has nothing to with "desperation" (recruitment has been at a high) and everything to do with people living longer/healthier lives and the military has been handing

This is exactly right. The goal is delivering a useful product to someone, which just requires secure enough, optimized enough, efficient enough code. Some see the security, optimization, or efficiency of the code itself as the goal. They&#

The reality of what exists today shows that the opposite is true. Pulling out a few games with less than 5000 players globally isn't remotely comparable to having hundreds of thousands of players daily. It's amplified even more fo

Yeah saw that after posting. Pretty tragic.

Don't forget that WB also managed to burn Christopher Nolan after over a decade and lost one of the best (and most profitable) directors to have ever lived. Personally I just hope Netflix takes interest in the UCI mountain bike racing

Then I wish nothing but good fortune for you and the crew and hope the game continues forever!

It's clearly one significant measure. What do you think is going to happen to tournament money if every other tournament has a cheater? How many esports fans want to go play League after watching Faker decimate another team if they hav

by LMYahooTFY 10mo ago
Not sure how to understand these questions. Have you ever played in a competitive game of any type, virtual or real? A cheater isn't evenly matched against you. No one is good enough to compete against wallhacks/aimbots, never min

Do you work on community maps? Rust remains maybe the last true community game that's just solid all the way through where the studio is good to its players and doesn't patronize and betray them. I can have the sort of fun I would

I agree with you in sentiment and am very nostalgic for the pre-monoculture days, but I also acknowledge that competitive games are a multi-billion dollar industry, and trying to moderate a game with millions of players in a distributed env

by LMYahooTFY 10mo ago
What, 2000 players? 5000? Moderating that game is multiple orders of magnitude off of major titles. No Battlefield game is even in the top 100 of esports earnings.

More distributed and more manual. More administrative overhead. More localized culture we all get nostalgic for. Much more effort to play against peer competitors. It's the same phenomenon you see in many sectors. Access is democratize

I don't think they're saying cheating doesn't exist for the game, they're saying the popularity/incentive is too low to attract many cheaters compared to esports games.
22.
by LMYahooTFY 10mo ago
This isn't the reason. The reason it's necessary is because players want to be able to play with/against other players around the world. Matchmaking requires some form of anti-cheat. Running your own server as admin can'

I didn't downvote anything, and understand the point well.

Well that's really good to know. Been a happy user of Graphene since the Copperhead days. Thanks for all the work you do. I know you've endured a ton of shit.

This is a very counter-productive distortion of privacy, and borders on a lie about Graphene. Something designed to be private doesn't know the difference between a law enforcement officer trying to break into it and a criminal trying

How is this different from a backdoor in every phone? Some authority compels me to give them signing keys so now they can push anything they want, to any device they want?

You're missing the economies of scale part. OP is saying it's cheaper overall for a 10 million customer company to add infrastructure for 1 million more than it is for a 10,000 customer company to add infrastructure for 1000 more

Having been a member of the Teamsters union, I completely agree. It seems likely the vast majority of HN has never been a member of a union themselves given the audience, so the obsession feels like a savior complex IMO. Yeah, unions accomp

All nuclear explosions themselves aren't even going to be statistically detectable. IIRC from assessments of the US military's carbon footprint, cumulative footprint of nuclear weapons infrastructure is probably significantly less
