Well, certainly this case in particular is one of morals in so far as I understand the concept of morality. To me, sexual relations with children is immoral, it is not proper behaviour in which an adult should partake. Foucault seemed to th

I don't think so. A philosophy should be self-consistent, so if I can use Foucaults own words to critique his position on pedophilia, all the better.

That was indeed what I was referring to. Rather than interpreting your first paragraph as a pardon of Foucault, I consider it a condemnation of the group entire. If your (or their, the french intellectual elite's/literati's)

Foucault advocated for pedophilia, and that knowledge has tainted him for me. Can he still be a moral authority?

numpy is much more than a wrapper around a BLAS dll. BLAS implements three sets of operations: Level 1: unary and binary vector vector operations, one transform. Level 2: Matrix vector operations. Level 3: Matrix matrix operations (most fam

I just wanted you to know that I share your sentiment mostly, and that you are not alone in your opinion on this on HN. When is a life, a life? I was born very prematurely, as far as those things went back then. How can someone claim to be

Literally the exception that confirms the rule.

Funny, interesting and informative. The IT crowd of HN often forget that many terms did not originate with the advent of the computer - me included. Cement rendering is the application of a pre-mixed layer of concrete, possibly colored, ont

Depressing. We really are heading the wrong way. The law should not take into account ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender(sex), nor any other of the innumerable inborn qualities that make you and I who we are - distinct and diverse by no

A bit of a pet-peeve of mine, but it is the power that makes the car accelerate, not torque. With gearing, any value of torque is possible at the wheels, but not for any given speed. A car with 300 Nm of torque but 100 kW of power will neve

Being wrong shouldn't be illegal. If it was, news would not exist.

I've thought a lot about this and I am pretty sure this is propaganda to further the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine, and that no nation would launch nukes except when directed by the highest authority. There would be no differen

The french debate on the face-covering ban was well broadcasted internationally, and it was clear to me then that it was about burqas and niqabs. The law came in place when there were thousands of people wearing religious face coverings, no

You are not discussing what a lie is, and what is not, but someone will have to, if measures against the "selective amplification" of lies were to be implemented. That is a fact.

There's a whole lot of terrible screaming when you kill people, unless you restrict their ability to speak :) Very unpalatable, even to the executioner.

Maybe you are the one who has been constantly exposed to lies, and doubt everything that is true? The only way you can have a free exchange of ideas is if people are allowed to disagree, and yes this includes basic "facts" of real

And there's the ban on burqa and niqab. In public places. You conveniently did not mention that.

So free speech was good, when it was restricted to the elite (those of means and intellect). Now that the unwashed masses, the plebs, have access to it, it's no longer good?

Perhaps it was a poor choice of words considering HackerNews nitpicking, but in france display of religious symbols (such as wearing a cross) is banned in public places (mostly). I wrote it that way for effect, thinking that people would be

Religion is already banned in places such as France. Did not do them much good. A ban on free speech will be equally as effective.

To me, the case for free speech has never looked as good. A few (even hundreds) of murders are an acceptable cost of free speech. Restricted speech has killed millions. Little by little the western freedoms are being taken away. And you wan

Only on HackerNews is that considered pretty straightforward. I barely understand what a container is, and I know the BIOS mbr magic number off the top of my head. We should not all have to be Andy Dufresne to escape privacyhell. A bit of a

We really should stop using the terribly named, outdated, observation that is Moore's law. It was fit for the atomic age, where boundless growth would lead us to the promised land. Typical Hackernews nitpicking from my side here, but w

No, I think the situation is terrible here, in the pricacy sense. It worked when the community was more homogenuous, and more importantly before the internet. But the tradeoff transparency <-> privacy has shifted with the information

We still have ways to go. The node name (3nm) in this example is pure marketing, there is no feature that is 3nm small on the die(s). Smallest feature size is rather 10-30 nm, and you can (again, side of napkin calculation) squeeze in 100 a

I was thinking about this since I read the article. The number you state seems to be 0.5% of total subjects. To my understanding, this is not how "p < 0.005" is employed. If we take the control group, we have P(Corona)=90/

What is peace? And when is something peaceful? Webster's dictionary defines peaceful as "untroubled by conflict, agitation, or commotion". Certainly, if almost 10% of my coworkers were violent, I would not call my workplace p
