Russian military spending is $65 billion compared to European $289 billion, so even at low percentages of GDP the Europeans are out spending the Russians by a factor 4

The Russians get a lot more for every dollar or euro they spend because their stuff costs a lot less in local prices. So it’s not a meaningful comparison. Western countries get very poor value for money from their defence budgets in Russian terms. They are easily 10x more efficient than any NATO country.
How to Build and Deploy React.js with No Downtime
It works forever, but every time you launch the browser you get a popup asking you if you know what you are doing.
By far the worst part is what they refer to as the “bowel prep” i.e. strong laxatives. A top tip is to coat the affected area with Vaseline before starting!

That and the sedation depends on whether you’re getting a “flexible sigmoidoscopy” or a full colonoscopy. The latter is the full 1.5-2 metre insertion to inspect all the way to where the small intestine starts, which typically involves sedation (though conscious). The former is usually preceded by a home enema rather than laxatives and done with pain relief only.

Most DACs are nearly perfect. There's an incredibly large number that will do better than 96dB of signal/noise, including the $9 Apple dongle. Electronics are highly consistent for this purpose.

Speakers are up to 3 orders of magnitude worse.
I do maintain a workout schedule but not as intense as yourself. Sounds like you're running pretty close to the edge of all your limits if you can't skip even a single meal.
Not equivalent at all. DDG gathers the content they provide themselves. Video sites rely on users for content, which is why critical mass matters. Why get 100 views on peertube when you can 100000 views on Youtube?
Its seems that Minority Report was in the can from July 2001 though you could imagine the amount of post-production required for that movie which would lead to it being released almost a year later. Catch Me If You Can was filmed between February and May 2002 to be released on December 25th. It seems like a busy year but doable,

Spielberg only stepped in to direct after Gore Verbinski dropped out because the film was delayed due to DiCaprio working on Gangs of New York. Verbinski's original casting had James Gandolfini as Hanratty and Ed Harris as Frank Sr. Verbinski ended up doing The Ring instead. Its amazing how much of Hollywood production is a string of almosts and conflicting schedules.
Legal side note: Germany also has a vehicle tax that roughly scales with the size of the vehicle. But this only applies to vehicles registered in Germany. Because of the European Single Market, a lot of trucks running on German highways are registered in foreign countries (esp. Eastern Europe since drivers from those countries draw smaller salaries). The toll was enacted specifically to ensure that those foreign trucks contribute towards road maintenance as well. It does apply to German trucks, too, because the EU has rules against laws that discriminate against foreign EU citizens.
I live in Sweden too. Is that true? I thought it was more around 4k EUR. Or am I being lowballed here...

A mountain of personal experience fasting for extended periods of time. Back of the envelope, over 200 days in the last 3-ish years.

If your salt intake is higher than normal, and you don’t fast for extended periods of time, it’s not applicable.

In general everything about fasting becomes difficult when your electrolytes get outta whack. It’s been my experience that almost everyone who’s otherwise healthy, with ample access to food, and no experience fasting will confuse their body screaming ‘I need salt’ with ‘I’m thirsty’ —- In the developed world we almost never experience the former.

Too much water is just as bad as not enough.
That is not true. I know person who cant tell piano keys from each other almost as far as an octave. She cant tell whether you you have hit one or two at the same time. She cant tell whether you have hit different one you you play two keys consecutively. She does hear well.

That is tone deafness and it has zero to do with singing. Tone deafness is not measured by having people sing.
Eye Floaters: Common Causes, Prevention, & Cure
The defence spending isn't much compared to the social expenditures. Switzerland spends roughly 30% on social/welfare (and roughly 10% on transportation infra). US spends roughly 50% of its budget on social/welfare and it ain't getting better any time soon.
I was much fatter than I am now. If you’re curious email me (in my profile) and I can share my spreadsheet with notes.
> Completely tone-deaf person would not be able to recognize voices, e.g. tell male voice from female, father's voice from mother's.

I find this hard to believe. Human voice has a lot of timbral characteristics that show up on a spectrogram view. It would also imply that a person would be unable to tell the difference between a piano, a guitar and a trombone. This would also make understanding speech very difficult. Do people (with otherwise normal hearing) like this exist?

This is pretty different from not being able to distinguish musical pitch, say tell C# from Bb, or be able to tell which one of the pitches is higher.
I think unladen swallow caused this improvement https://bugs.python.org/issue4753 as an upstream effect which was a 15-20% interpreter speedup
Fascinating neurology. I achieve the same articulacy (having systematic, "hyperlinked" conversations on complex subjects) when I close my eyes; I suspect it frees up resources which are in turn devoted to verbal communication. But my Neurologist friends suggest the brain isn't wired this way - that these are two independent systems whose resources cannot be shared that way.

Regardless, this too lends itself well to Covid-induced remote meetings where video isn't a priority.
I looked it up again, and it seems like we're both a bit correct.

My explanation would be correct if the earth is in equilibrium and there is no primordial heat left and all heat comes from radioactive decay, but surprisingly (to me at least) that is not the case. About 1/2 of the heat flow from the core to the surface comes from primordial heat.

I'd say solar will also add some heat to the atmosphere because they reflect less sunlight than the surface.

Of course, in the big scheme of things this is all pretty irrelevant unless we keep on exponentially increase our energy usage. The greenhouse effect of CO2 is a few orders of magnitude higher.

> As for salt, I do have salt now. Found out the hard way.

So did I, it’s a lesson I won’t forget.
I would say that among all math-oriented courses, statistics courses are the worst-taught. Part of the reason is that the field has never been able to agree upon a single philosophical underpinning, and so modern courses are often a hodge podge of techniques without enough discussion of basic conceptual issues.
>> ... in the end one has to be familiar with some calculus and complex numbers to make sense of this topic.

> I think this is more important than the listing of terms one by one in some of the sibling comments. The intros to Calculus, Analysis, Linear Algebra you get in high school/university will get you to the right place.

That's certainly true, but if someone wants to pursue understanding of these, simply saying "You need more familiarity with ..." gives them nowhere to start, and no terms to search for. Trying to give some context for each item, and to mention some of the underlying words, gives them a place to start, should they choose to spend the time investigating further.

Why can there not be stealth in space? The link you gave doesn't seem to have any arguments. Not saying you're wrong, just curious.

Some simple arguments that it's not a ridiculous question:

There is stealth on earth - paint and geometry that reduces EM signature. Why couldn't there be something similar in space?

It's not like it's super easy to detect everything in space today either - we have big telescopes but regularly miss small asteroids?
This is awful advice:

1. As the author suggests, a lot of that weight loss is just water. It'll come straight back again.

2. Getting into ketosis can take more than a day. Hell your body might even still be processing the carbs for quite a while as your food makes its way slowly around your digestive system.

3. 7 liters of water is tonnes. You risk flushing out your minerals. It's really not recommended. Adding some salt isn't enough.

4. Zero calories vs low calories when doing a low-carb diet doesn't really make a difference, your limitation is just around how much body fat your body can convert to useful energy when you need it.

5. When your body runs out of body fat it can easily source, it starts eating muscle. That's not just your arms and legs, that's things like your heart.

6. If you're not eating your body tries to convert whatever it can get into food. That would include the multi-vitamins he takes.

7. When you come out of ketosis, you should do it slowly. Transition from a high fat, low carb, small protein to increasingly more carbs and proteins. Grabbing a take-out or ribs and ice cream defeats the point.

8. Fasting only really works over short periods. When your body realizes something is wrong your survival mechanisms kick in, you go into starvation mode. Your metabolism drops and you start conserving energy rather than burning it.

To lose 1kg, all this guy has to do is make one small adjustment to his daily routine. One less sugar in his coffee, one less take-out a month, a little more cardio, etc.
Do you have any reading on the relationship between fasting and having had an appendectomy? Never heard of this before
At least there's no captcha, no requirement to register, and it appears to work (I've reported the same issue). I'd prefer a working email address, but there are worse feedback forms around.
So it's from Fortran ;)
The Expanse did a great job showing space battles on screen with a rather approriate distance. Star Wars and others, and I am a full blown Star Wars freak, did a good job with space battles. After the Expaense, it became little bit ridiculous, so. I resembles the problem films like Top Gun have with modern aerial combat. Already in that case, distances are so great that on-screen, the viewer is seeing nothing. For space battle, the enemy would maybe show as a small blip, if at all on screen. Especially with all the hyper advanced tech from Star Wars and Star Trek. This is also the reason why I igonre any stab at estimating weapon ranges based on on-screen scenes.
So I usually hit 1L as I wake up. I am always dehyrdated when I wake up. I usually crush out another 2-3 litres across the rest of the day. With tea I suspect that it pushed me upwards of another litre. If I work out I'll usually have another waterbottle worth. This is basically what I would do normally.

10k for the average developer (in Europe) sounds a bit too high, 4k a bit too low, but closer to what I would expect.
Of course there's lots of factors, but this is one obvious factor that must not be ignored.

> What about different strains and variability in how deadly they are?

Is there any evidence that the variations spreading now are different from those spreading earlier this year?

> What about the difference that the size of the initial dose of the virus makes to the end outcome?

There was a study done on hamsters that only showed a minimal impact of initial dose on disease severity.

On the other hand, you have increased mortality among healthcare worker, which could be caused by higher exposure. However, there's also the impact of such a stressful situation on the immune system.
No, I don't think it's the same people. But I wish the people pleased by this development would be more vocal. As a developer, I know just how discouraging it is to make an improvement and all you get back is complaints. I don't think the devs at 1Pasword deserve that treatment for taking Linux seriously as a platform.
Launching UpCloud Object Storage
You say that based on what evidence?
It is not uncommon for someone to not be able to distinguish the pitch difference from two sound sources, especially being able to tell if they're singing in tune or not.

That's not at all the same thing as not being able to distinguish the two pitches from each other coming from the same source.

I can tune a guitar relatively (ie. start with one string "in tune") by ear very easily. I can't for the life of me tune a guitar to a pitchfork or someone else in the band playing a tone that I need to match. And I can't produce a specific tone with my vocal chords or play along a melody by ear.
Ask HN: As I get older, I see seconds tick physically faster. Am I alone?
Not really a tech question, but as a child I've always loved counting along digital (or analog) clocks, counting in my mind and see how precise I was.
Fast-forward 20 years, now seconds in clocks are so fast. Like, almost 1.5x faster. Is it only my perception and my flawed memories?

I'm asking because I know I'm not the only one, someone else mentioned the same thing here once, and that makes me fairly curious.
Oh I meant in terms of cost for the employer. As they have to pay additional taxes on top of the salary. E.g. the so called “employer’s fee” and pension fees (tjänstepension) and stuff like that.

BTW, if you want to go into details, feel free to shoot me an email.
Does peertube use Google API at all?
Atomic Email Hunter
A key component of an effective mass mailing campaign is the quality of the compiled customer database. Email Harvester helps create a high-caliber database by extracting information from both websites and search engines.

The main Atomic Email Hunter feature is different for each type of search:

Targeted search for email addresses using keywords
Email collector will compile a database of your target audience. If you don’t have a list of essential websites to search, just specify a keyword, and the program will find related websites and gather emails from them.
Search for email addresses on a specified website
If you already have a website address and you want to harvest email addresses from it, enter the URL and email harvester will collect all available emails from it.
Search for emails on a website by keywords
Target the search with Atomic Email Hunter. Enter the URL of the website and the keyword you‘re wanting results for. The program will find the page(s) on that website that have the key-word. Email addresses will be extracted from those pages, and you’ll have a free email list for long-term use.
Extract phone numbers from webpages
This is the only feature Atomic Hunter is missing, but you can get phone numbers with Atomic Lead Extractor. It extracts both emails and phone numbers. Check these two email extractors to compare them.

Email Hunter can search and extract email addresses from Facebook as easily as from other websites. Use Facebook plugin to find a huge number of your potential clients contact data. Or you can come across groups that spark your interest, copy and paste their URLs into the extractor software. The program will collect all available email addresses from the specified Facebook pages.

I took this twice, the first time without headphones and panicking slightly at the 1/64ths - I got 27; the second time, I did it with a (decent) pair of headphones and with less panicking, and got a perfect score. The 1/64ths were still hard, but I found, amusingly, that I shifted my head slightly in the right direction each time!

For reference, I have no musical ability whatsoever and am broadly regarded as one of the worst singers anyone has ever met, but I do enjoy listening to music very much.
Good thing I plan to take 2-3 days to get into Ketosis, and good thing I have about 5% extra body fat so my heart is safe. Point of fasting for me isn't weight loss - pretty happy with my rig as it is. Why should you transition out of ketosis slowly?
Telecommuting Made Easy – Learn How Tackle and Deal with Productivity Drains
No. That's local anesthesia. It's called a "nerve block". The anesthetic is injected right next to a nerve. If you imagine pain as starting somewhere, then, "travelling" upstream to your brain, the anesthesia basically interrupts signals from the point where the injection takes place.
For a developed nation with a big gdp and no major conflicts on their doorstep, that is big.
Sweden's great at obfuscating how high effective income tax actually is; payroll tax ("arbetsgivaravgift") and social fees are charged on the employer's side and never seen on your payslip (and are, depending on income, almost comparable to income tax).

That's not even accounting for non-salary costs.

~7-8k EUR effective cost for 1 person-month sounds about right to me.
We have AWS and Google cloud certifications though. I don't find those any less "enterprisy" than Microsoft to be honest. And they definitely remind me of the Java certificates of the 90s.
this was a remarkably concise summary, nicely done. one clarification/question I had was I think all connections start as http1 by default, then a request to upgrade to http2 is sent. does the same happen for http3? does it go from 1 to 3 or 1 to 2 to 3?
Stay Productive with Advanced Warehouse Management Solution
I'd take a bet against, because peertube transport can be essentially implemented in the same way as video calls. As long as Google Meet works in the browser, peertube can too. (I'm not saying it works that way right now)
It just seems to be a bunch of iframes and it renders the website in your browser. HTML is just downloaded through CORS proxy...
In general for someone trying to get in the field I typically say get a degree IF it makes sense in your lifestyle.

New grad from high school and wants to get into CS. Get a degree if you can afford it.

Took a few years off of college, really interested in CS, can afford to go back to school (even if afford means loans and it is a public university). Get a degree.

Mid 20's with family and children, main breadwinner, can't afford to stop working. Think hard about the decision to go back to school. Explore other options.

In general, it just has to fit with your lifestyle.

In your particular case I'd highly suggest not going. You already have a bachelors and a masters. Plus 5 years experience. The barrier to entry to get into the sub-field you're interested in isn't credentials at this point.
Europeans might spend much more than Russia, but without external involvement, I think Russia would probably win.

Russia - about 6000 nukes, 12000 tanks, 4000 military aircraft, 600 warships, 3m soldiers

Europe - about 500 nukes, 8000 tanks, 2500 military aircraft, 550 warships, 1.5m soldiers

Besides the numbers, the Russians are just better prepared and don't have to coordinate a dozen different forces.
That's an interesting point. Europe is trying to be as peaceful as possible but yet it still has a relatively large defense budget. It's just that whatever the US is doing is overshadowing that large budget.
On top of this, IIRC, we (meaning doctors and medical science) have basically no idea how anesthetics actually work. For instance, xenon gas has anesthetic properties. Xenon. Gas. How's that for weird?
Just switch from kube to ECS already, if you're in AWS. Much better integration and support.
Oppo A33(2020) Full Specs and Prices in India
Not OP, but having tried PeerTube just to see what it was about, just the usability is a pain. There's a lot of foreign language content that clogged up my front page and I'm not even in Europe for some elementary locale checking to try and match content. Then of course, decentralised streaming in this way is incredibly slow and has the same pitfalls as torrents: If there aren't any/enough peers you're screwed or just generally going to have a really bad time.
Yes. I can honestly say this would be extremely surprising given the tenants, and the rate of change of the core kubernetes model. I do not believe the dead products list typically has either this paying customer base, or code change.
Here's what I did to make sound come after a command:

import os
from random import seed
from random import random
seed(a=None)
def rnd():
return 200 + (random() * (2100 - 200))
duration = 0.5
freq = rnd()
os.system('play -nq -t alsa synth {} sine {}'.format(duration, freq))

The only requirements are python and sox[0].

Used like this:

mycommand && python3 sound.py

Yep, and it certainly helps. Also Dr. Joe Dispenza's Mind Body Connection. I think a lot comes from stress, anxiety and dealing with your body with a wrong mindset.

But it doesn't explain all the issues away.

To add to your point, Tesla allows you to signal to sustainability and environmentally consciousness without adopting what has been seen as unmasculine. Indeed of basically neglecting the marketing and hoping society would patch itself, Tesla just made it cool to a broader audience.

We had an issue with getting a new Android app we wrote that accessing the call logs for a legit business case (something that would benefit the user alone, not in any case sent to us) reviewed and it took months to resolve it. The best thing was emailing and waiting for another week or so, hoping the case would be picked up by a human being that would take the effort to really look into the issue.

Now Apple doesn't even allow you to access the logs to begin with and even if they would they can be royal dicks during the review process, but I was always under the assumption I was dealing with a human at every step from the initial rejection and once I een simply could explain what my business case was over the phone with one of their people instead of endlessly mailing back and forth. Nothing has been stuck for more than a week.
I did, but I was years overdue already. I wouldn’t have if I could limp my previous vehicle a little longer.

When I went to the various lots in my city, each was very busy and the salesmen were talking a lot about how crazy business had been. It could just be my city, but maybe sales haven’t slowed at all.

How about no? Parsers are one of the main sources of bugs in software. You should write parsers manually only when you have a very good reason to. Go ask any of your system security friends.
Most people can water fast for a few weeks, unless you are very lean to start with. That doesn't mean it's easy... there are a LOT of social queues that can trigger a response... but the hunger really does go away after a couple days.
You did not eat anything for 60 days? 0 calories?

I heard people doing it for 14 days for fasting purposes and I am pretty sure that most people can do it for 30-40 days and not die, but 60 sounds pretty long
