You don't need a simulation. This has been done successfully from Japan with bombs hitched to it. People were killed. https://www.damninteresting.com/curio/ww2-japans-balloon-bom... The key is to use high altitude

Being a night owl is artificial. It's virtually impossible for most of human existence because for most of human existence we didn't have strong lights at night. The most natural thing to do for a human is to sleep when it's

You can't approach it with pure logic. You have to factor in your morality. The issue at hand here is bias. Meaning were you aware that your morality was factored into your logic? That your thinking wasn't logical at all but highl

20 transexual people who identify as furries applied to my job post. I didn't hire any of them because they didn't have the technical skills to perform the job.

Promoting cancel culture? Personally I find cancel culture too reactionary and too extreme and irrational. Additionally cancel culture often gets shit wrong and ruins the lives of the wrong people. I would say in this case if you participat

Better to have the law then to not have it sure. But from a practical perspective all of this is already done and kept on the DL even before the law was in place. The social pressure already stops the blatant treatment from occurring.

Nonsense my ass. What fantasy incentive are you talking about? There's no incentive preventing someone from not hiring someone because of their caste and then completely fabricating a different reason. >We are rationalizing creature

Useless. You can't force this change. There are tons of ways around it. You have to attack it at the root and get these people to change themselves, and that's basically also impossible.

That's again being too pedantic. No point at all in technological process if that were true. Clearly we take actions in getting better because we predict it will be better based off of common sense metrics. If I eliminate genetic defec

That's the logical conclusion is it not? A society of the strongest selected by none other then nature herself. It's our biases that prevent is from acting this way. It's easy to stray off topic here. My point is that we can

Mistress death does not exist in the MCU. That is the universe I'm referring to. >Out-of-universe the writers needed a villain. So they had Thanos do something evil. As the other poster pointed out, it was also a fairly dumb solutio

See. Rationalization. Bias. Whether it's right or it's wrong. You spend an inordinate amount of effort trying to twist the logic to fit your definition of morality. You aren't trying to put together a conclusion from facts. Y

Here's the thing. The logic for eugenics is actually MORE humane then letting it go. Do you have generations of people suffering from genetic defects or do you do one execution and save thousands from suffering? We choose the former no

by kilgnad 4y ago
That's rationalization. There are definitely defects that do not have any trade off. It is bias in itself to think that every genetic trait has a balanced positive and negative. It's the apple and oranges argument people often use

There is. Because if you look at my comment history I'm all over the place. I comment on different topics. Your comment history, however, is all political and targeting Russia. In front of a panel, you're the one that's more

How far can you take it? Can you talk about implementing eugenics? Because scientifically it's not a completely invalid idea. Preventing people with genetic defects and recessive carriers of genetic defects from reproducing whether thr

The chance is never zero, but it can be effectively zero. And the way we communicate this fact is through inexact language. It's never zero in the same way that you ever having a chance to live on the moon in your lifetime is never zer

By small load I mean size. The frames in your batch jobs are tiny and few in number if you're getting 70k batch jobs per second. It's more similar to streaming... what you're doing here. In that case my velocity measurements

The context here is external queues like kafka. If you're writing stuff to a queue in your web app then it must be a relatively small load. This is different. For analytics databases the batch ingestion requirement are usually so big t

It's common, but exceptional enough that it should be mentioned because it is a specialized database that does batch ingestion. Let's say you flew from one city to another. People assume you took a plane. If you took a helicopter,
