Well, Russia didn't take a 'bit' of Ukrainian territory, they annexed Crimea, where their nuclear base and black water navy base was located, a region for which the people of Russia have had cultural ties for over 700 years as a nation, installed a buffer zone around their military assets - and then conveniently left most of the rest of the Ukraine for the people of Ukraine. Wasn't that gracious of them?

Not at all like the piles of smoking rubble, immense list of war crimes and demolished infrastructure of recent Western "police action" standards, but nevertheless, for those of us familiar with the area, not as drastic a scenario as the dis-sovereignty forced on so many nations by the West that we can't even keep count any more, not that anyone is interested... I mean, really, if you really think you know what Russia has done in Crimea, "pics or gtfo".

Citizens of the West can feign indignance at this action, and call for an immediate response from their own noble, ethical military forces who can do no wrong, whatsoever, but since the Ukraine is on my doorstep I personally know a lot of Russian citizens who live in the area who are quite content with the state of affairs, and even quite a few Ukrainians too ..

In fact, like I said, the only ones who are really pissed are those who had hoped to profit from the coup d'etat, i.e. war mongers, who are relatively disincentivized by the fact that yes, Russia has managed to de-escalate in the region, since they have the support of the people in the area, and therefore the provocateurs in Kiev won't be selling as many Stingers and Javelins as they'd hoped might be needed by the citizens in the region ..

EDIT: there is a Western narrative which most readers are familiar with. But there is a Crimea/Russia narrative which deserves your enlightened consideration too. Do not fall so easily into the warmonger trap: the Ukraine is a lot more peaceful than Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and Syria at the moment. Precisely because there are Russian forces in the region, not in spite of it. The 5-eyes coalition would not dare do to Crimea what it has done many, many times elsewhere: i.e. committing war crimes with impunity is not going to happen. The people of Ukraine and Crimea are very, very much more informed about what the USA's War Coalition has been doing with its illegal wars than the average American citizen. There is a great deal of validity to the idea that the CIA wanted to do to Ukraine what it did to Libya - but was thwarted by Russias Little Green Men. So, take that into account. Western Media is not the only narrative for the region.

It's extendable, and Bloomberg programming APIs and its Excel API are both heavily used.

The reason why it won't be extinguished is that it combines the UI/API (which is not great) with market data feeds that are hard to replicate (because parts of it are scraped from bloomberg messages or only available on bloomberg), the instant messaging and chatrooms that also benefit from the moat of network effects, as well as a news service and macro data/company events/balance sheet data that integrate with each other and the market data feeds.

You could replace the news service and balance sheet data and some of the data feeds with Reuters Eikon, and the instant chat with Symphony - but they are both subpar products with even weaker UI than Bloomberg.

I have the dam beavers at my place. Sometimes they are more active, sometimes they are less. When they are active we find we can usually avoid problems if we take unwanted dams apart early. If you go out every morning you can take them apart in under five minutes, but once the water level rises they get faster at building and you will have to work a lot harder.

From time to time they try to block our culvert pipe which breaks the usual rule of "remove sticks from the downstream of the dam and then dig out the clay" because getting downstream of the dam means working inside the culvert pipe which is more tiring than working outside of it.

I had a nice pond which was choked with freshwater seaweed, then I got triploid grass carp to eat the plants, and the year after that the beavers moved in. I tried swimming around and noticed a lot of beaver turds, then I felt an explosion and realized that one of the beavers slapped his tail ten feet from me.

Then I went in and read that swimming around in a pond full of beaver turds was how you get Giardia so I quit swimming there.

Thanks for pointing it out, its not a peer reviewed publication but its at least something. Its a minority view though. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about its reception:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nurture_Assumption#Recepti...

The Nurture Assumption received mixed responses. The neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky says her book is "based on solid science".[6] The psychologist Steven Pinker of Harvard predicts that the book "will come to be seen as a turning point in the history of psychology".[7]
However, the psychologist Frank Farley claims that "she's taking an extreme position based on a limited set of data. Her thesis is absurd on its face, but consider what might happen if parents believe this stuff!"[6] Wendy Williams, who studies how environment affects IQ, argues that "there are many, many good studies that show parents can affect how children turn out in both cognitive abilities and behavior".[6] The psychologist Jerome Kagan argues that Harris "ignores some important facts, ones that are inconsistent with this book's conclusions".[8]
Harris rejects the idea that The Nurture Assumption will encourage parents to neglect or mistreat their children.[9] She maintains that parents will continue to treat their children well "for the same reason you are nice to your friends and your partner, even though you have no hopes of molding their character. For the same reason your great-grandparents were nice to their children, even though they didn't believe in the nurture assumption".[10]
They aren't in any case. Total red herring
Everything is "just axiomatic" at some level of regress, so calling something "axiomatic" isn't much of a dismissal.

As for Spooner: I am not saying I agree with his analysis on everything (same for Bastiat as far as that goes). I'm just pointing out that those two represent some useful sources of thought on the illegitimacy of the State. That was intended mainly for people who weren't already involved in studying this particular issue.

The question of "what is property" is an interesting and fundamental one for sure. I'm still chewing on that, honestly. Some days I think I know, other days I'm convinced I was wrong before. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I think you're creating a binary where one doesn't exist. People communicate ideas for a variety of reasons only one of which is to gain public notoriety. If someone wishes to publish their writing pseudonymously then they should be free to do so with the expectation that any reasonable person will respect their right to privacy. The idea that people should just keep to themselves or their in-group to avoid public persecution is directly contrary to the idea of a free and open society and has been repeatedly demonstrated to be a symptom of authoritarian regimes or movements.

I feel like as programmers, so much of our life is in the conscious realm.

Immunity.

I think the numbers show that countries who don't have a second wave had a strong first wave, where the lockdown came too late.

Examples: Italy, France, Germany

Then you have countries that had a strict lockdown on time, which resulted in rising rates as soon as lockdown was lifted.

Examples: Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore

Having said that, the latter countries do seem to fare better than the former, second wave or not.

It's so much easier to write incorrect/misleading queries in influxql than in promql. And you can't perform operations between two different series names in influxdb, last I looked. That makes it impossible to do things like ratios or percentages unless you have control over your metrics, and structure them the way influx likes. Also, no support for calculating percentiles from Prometheus histogram buckets.

The 40% immunity number (antibodies + t-cell) is based on randomized immunology tests.
Paying helps, but even then, they are usually terms against abusive behavior. It seems that what constitutes abuse reduces as you go up the chain (for example: perhaps a social network forbids false information and worse, perhaps a hosted CMS forbids hate speech and worse, perhaps a VPS/colo/residential forbids only very illegal activity) but it's always there to some extent. Maybe it's about human abuse and maybe it's about technical/network abuse, but there is something forbidden.

Is it possible (not feasible, but possible) to put something on the internet that relies on nobody else at all?

No, I'm arguing Sweden saw the same economic damage - because people aren't stupid, and avoided doing the things a formal lockdown would have restricted anyways - without the infection control benefits of a formally managed one.

> Things get even more puzzling if you consider the sheer number of therapies on offer and the conflicting methods that they often employ. Some want you to feel more (eg, psychodynamic and emotion-focused approaches); others to feel less and think more

They all share being heard, raw, and I believe that is key.

I spent time talking with a consoler years ago to work through some personal issues, and I genuinely feel having someone there to listen in a way where I knew judgements on their part would never threaten our relationship was the true value. Being able to just tell someone how I felt about things, clearly and honestly, without the need to self censor or sugar coat - particularly in the way I would with a friend - helped more than anything else.

"You don't" but many doctors sure seem happy to treat early and to be blind to the potential harm that the treatement entails.
The alternatives considered section is a good place to deal with it. There you can enumerate all the arguments for and against any particular thing, so you don't end up talking in circles.

Often times, the person writing the document has the most context/expertise and can provide a short explanation for why one option might be a better trade-off than another even though there are clear and logical arguments against it.

Having data also helps. IMHO, a lot of bikeshedding is uneducated conjecture, which can be put to rest with proof-of-concepts, benchmarks, level headed comparison tables, discussion notes with others in the industry etc. At my company, large reaching technological decisions often involve meeting with people with relevant experience from FAANG/others to gather information.

If you’re the only consumer of your api then why are you exposing more data than you need? I’ve never seen an internal rest api that was 100% restful. It was restLike.

So if you have consumers of your api then allowing them to pull only what they need makes sense. But for an api where you are the only consumer, it makes no sense.

The Scandinavian countries are actually quite different economically with regards to e.g. which industries represent most of their GDP. Since they are so small they are not very diversified. They're smaller than many US states and most people wouldn't make claims like this comparing those.
Does it? Not from my experience on either side of the transaction.... in my eyes all of the “innovation” facebook has produced (along with every other large tech company) has been straightforward, by the book scaling of extant business processes with technology.

Anyway if there’s a process it can hardly be called imagination now can it? It’s just human-level algorithms fed by cash.

If you can’t imagine how to improve this you’re certainly lacking for either observational skill or bound by some dogmatic worldview.
I think more context is needed to understand what your web application does. When you say web token, I assume you mean JWT, which uses a process of encoding/decoding and can be hacked.

If an attacker can interfere with the JWT/cookie on the client and change the user id they can become any user on your system.

Don't put any user info on the client (JWT/cookie page rendered stuff is fine), just a hash that refers to the session id. This would make it harder for someone to change ids or guess usernames. And use HTTPS for all traffic.

Its okay to use lightweight sessions, a hash for the session id and a user id in a sessions table on the server should be enough to keep track of who is who.

Most web frameworks have this problem solved so maybe look into that for whatever language you are using (unless this is a comp-sci quiz question testing your understanding of sessions/security, haha).

Rightfully so. That the area had experienced a separate collapse over five hundred years before is completely unrelated.

The Spanish invaded, conquered, and enslaved. Nobody is claiming the native population were some saintly people who did nothing wrong, but the Spaniards were definitely bad. Bringing religion into it only makes them look worse.
You're leaving out all choices in your decision pipeline.

If you screen positive, you can elect to have a biopsy or scan.

If your results come back inconclusive, you can elect to pursue surgical (or other) intervention.

That's what medicine is: a selection from among potential procedures, given the information at hand, informed by previous outcomes in similar or applicable situations.

In this case, we simply have more information. If said information turns out to have limited predictive power on the ultimate occurance of cancer, that will be incorporated into detection and treatment practices.

But the important thing is having more information than we had before.
> I'm not sure I agree about the fact that notation is a pseudo-mathematisation.

I definitely don't think that notation is pseudo-mathematisation; good notation is inordinately powerful in enabling good mathematics (and bad notation can make even simple mathematics hard). What I meant to describe as pseudo-mathematisation was the discussion of notation in what seemed to me in a (to me) unnecessarily formally mathematical way.

Unless you have reliable information about Sweden exaggerating the number of Covid deaths, I can't see the argument. Even if Sweden wrongly labelled 25% as Covid deaths, that's still a significantly larger number population size taken into account.

I wouldn't know. But that's part of Tegnell's argument, yes. That when the second wave hits or this just goes on for years, Sweden will be better off. Hard to say right now, I think. 20/20.
