2x what? The total US deployments in Europe are < 70,000 personnel, let alone Eastern Europe in particular. The combat troops that are stationed in Eastern Europe are there as deterrents, intended to force the Russians to fire on US/NATO forced should they attempt to invade a NATO member. There are no such forces in Ukraine. As for the rest of NATO, it's questionable how much they could readily activate and deploy to Ukraine on short notice. If NATO goes to open war with Russia, that means mobilizing enough to deal with a full scale Russian invasion, which includes defending the Eastern European allies from Russian retaliation. Token forces trickling in won't do it. Air power alone won't do it.

As for Taiwan, barring immediate Taiwanese surrender China will have to suppress Taiwanese naval and air defenses and then put substantial boots on the ground. The Chinese airborne is not large enough to do the latter on its own, that means amphibious assaults and contested landings. Though they would ultimately succeed were Taiwan left to defend itself, it would take time. Realistically they'd have to do that while dealing with the immediately deployable US carrier groups and air/naval/marine forces from land bases in Guam/Japan/etc.

I agree the whole "losing large amounts of only sons" bit is speculation in terms of what impact it would have. Golden parachutes might go a long way.

I would say time isn't on China's side at all. It's making more enemies in the world while losing former would-be friends, and is in severe demographic decline, much like Russia. Plus dealing with China is the one thing that currently unites Americans politically, and has lead to the creation of and near universal support for AUKUS, as well as the current trade war. If China keeps upping the confrontation it will only provoke a more severe response from the rest of the world, and if it dials down the confrontation it will eventually be hobbled by demographic decline and other factors. Realistically there's no good option for China to take Taiwan, but the CCP can't admit that. So one way or another there's going to be a show.

GTK.. what a waste of an opportunity

I wish Canonical didn't gave up with Unity 8.. Ubuntu and unity was the reason i was using linux as my main desktop OS, when they announced they'll use Gnome 3, i reinstalled windows.. when windows 10 got announced i moved to macOS, i now back to linux with Mint (i love cinnamon desktop btw)

Gnome and GTK are a curse, they drive people away from linux desktop

I’m not sure what you mean by “politics” here, so I’d rather be explicit and say what it looks like to me.

The tobacco industry has a rich history of trying to manipulate public opinion in their favor, and this article and authors’ undisclosed conflict of interest fits that pattern well: a study shows cigarettes are actually good for you in some way, and might even save you from the current pandemic; and then whoops, authors were getting paid by the tobacco industry, and then whoops again, they didn’t mention it when submitting for publication.

If the study was retracted even though the CoPE guidelines don’t require a retraction, it implies to me that this case was more egregious than just some protocol mixup or forgetfulness. The most generous reading is that the retraction was made out of an abundance of caution and concern for the journal’s reputation. I suppose that’s possible, but I don’t see any further evidence in favor of exonerating the article, especially knowing the industry’s history.
Prices have been high since 2013ish on .22LR, but you could generally still buy some.

my 2 cents: rust evangelists, the promises of the end of bugs, and how perfect the language is for any use case... that makes my BS detector go off. Everyone has to love Rust nowadays, it sounds like a cult or something. It makes me hate rust without even having tried it, which is dumb and sad.
Exactly. The juror's ignorance or lack of direct experience with the alleged offense does not make him less able to evaluate the evidence. It is the prosecution's job to present the evidence with enough clarity to remove reasonable doubt.

I imagine at Signal this is not decided based on the whim of a CEO, but on how to implement it secure,privacy friendly and free enough. E.g. if you havd to upload your private keys to some bot service, that may work but is terrible. Or if the service can easily bd flooded with bots spamming us. Or if the security model requires some apple alike central checking comittee. And so on.

I am a frontend web developer and I still get these types of questions. It's incredibly stupid. I don't think I've passed any of them yet I'm making 250k still so whatever. The most I have to think about data structures is deciding when to use a map, set, or array.
FRAND defines fair in a very specific way in terms of pricing. For example the definition of F (fair) in FRAND is exemplified as not requiring purchase of other, unwanted licenses as a condition to the purchase of the particular license the customer wants to buy. However that does not exactly seem to be the use in this license because here it seems like fair would also carry the meaning of 'not too expensive', as I interpret the author's explanation:

> ' If you need a big-company license, reach out for a big-company license, and either don’t get a response, or get a clearly unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory proposal, this is your fallback.'

'Too expensive' far as I know is not a part of FRAND, the fair in FRAND means something that is subtly different — though I am not knowledgeable enough to conclusively say FRAND includes this author's particular meaning of fair. To my best reading, it seems like it does not.
It's hardly a rare feature. Everything from C# to JS has it these days, so I think "out of reach of most syntax highlighting tools" might be overstating things a bit. It can't be that hard.

You don't have to allow nested strings either; Python's f-strings don't, they always parse as a regular string too (well, you can use a 'single-quoted string' inside a "double-quoted f-string").
Invisible to our intuition perhaps.
Part of the problem, especially when it comes construction and defense, is awarding contracts to the lowest bidder with effectively no punishment for exceeding the initial estimate. This pretty much guarantees underestimation, both for statistical and behavioural reasons.

People who are good at the grind are good at the grind. These are also often the people who succeed in life; intelligence is vastly overrated.
He is extremely misleading, if not technically wrong. The Poynting vector has nothing to do with why some small amount of current is temporarily induced into the light bulb. The actual electrical energy flows along the wires (inside and out). In an unrelated phenomenon, you transmit some tiny amount of electrical power directly through the air/vacuum between the battery and the bulb. In a different configuration, or if you inserted certain kinds of reflective materials, you could block (most of) this energy from ever reaching the bulb, without any change whatsoever in the current flowing along the wires. Also, if you submerged the whole circuit (or just the space around the battery and bulb) in a dielectric material with a low speed of light (say, in a piece of rock), you would get a vastly slower and weaker current, with no effect on the current flowing through the wires.

Even the part where he explains the problem with the chain metaphor is wrong. If you actually had a mechanical chain and an engine moving it back and forth, you could extract energy from the movement of the chain either by exploiting friction (to heat up something, just like a resistor does) or by using gears that resist movement in the opposite direction (e.g. slipping the chain) to achieve movement in a single direction. There's nothing all that mysterious about how we extract energy from electricity, at least in practice.

In fact, you could even get an equivalent of the small induced curent: if you recreate his extremely long circuit with a motor instead of the battery and an extremely sensitive motion detector instead of the light bulb 1m away, you would detect some motion [1m/speed of sound in material connecting them] seconds after the motor is started, assuming you are not floating in a perfect vacuum; and then vastly higher motion after 300,000km/speed of sound in chain seconds later.

Nothing more mysterious going on with the EM field.

I think the issue is that OP is old person but a new programmer.

So the companies ask why not, out of people with little expeirience choose younger person.

It's even reasonable for them because they may influence younger person easier and have a better chance of hitting a hidden gem.

If the current leetcode style of interviewing is the best that SV can come up with, despite having some of the best engineers and thinkers in the world and billions of dollars to spend, that's really sad.
> YOU implied that full size SUVs and trucks weren't a thing 20 years ago by asking what people did. Now you're moving the goal posts because I pointed out how silly your implication was. The Tahoe having its wheelbase grow 4" in 20 years isn't what OP is complaining about and you know it.

Let's quote what GP said: "There is zero reason a person needs to own a 7 seat SUV to transport 3 people or five 2x4s twice a year. The proliferation of oversized vehicles continues to exacerbate a significant number of local and global issues and I'm of the belief that we need strong regulation to limit the size of vehicles.". You chose to interpret "proliferation of oversized vehicles" and "strong regulation to limit the size of vehicles" as "eliminate full-size SUVs and trucks". I have no idea how you got there and what your definition of "large" here and how it follows from what GP said. That's what I mean by you creating a strawman. If you steelman the argument, you wouldn't get "eliminate full-size SUVs and trucks" from it.

> exactly what the defendant wants

Only if the defendant is a fool. People being the way people are, are just as likely to resent the defendant as the root cause of why they have to be there at all as the are to resent the system (and side with the defendant out of spite for the system).

The latter will likely only happen in a trial that is between the defendant and the system (i.e. the state).

In, say, a criminal trial in which the victim isn't the state, reluctant, resentful jurors will sock it to the defendant. If there is any uncertainty in the decision, that sentiment may sway it.

Resentment of the jury duty concept will predispose jurors to cave in to their social prejudices. Oh, he must have done it; he's a tattoo-covered, prematurely-aged chain smoker with three gold teeth. Everything about this guy says "criminal". Fuck this asshole for making me be here on a Saturday.

Time is an issue. People who are impatient and just want something to be over will not do a good job of sifting through things to get to the truth, which takes time and patience.
> To be fair Crimea does have a majority ethnic Russian inhabitants. Wikipedia lists Crimea's demographics as 65% while others were lower at 58% or thereabout. Given many of those Russians were there from the Soviet era or direct descendants, it doesn't seem too crazy of a claim. The US and NATO countries have done worse for less. Now invading Ukraine? Thats another thing altogether.

What do you mean "now invading Ukraine"? Russia already did that, when they invaded Crimea, which is Ukraine.

That’s fair. If someone wants to get a degree in a “field” that is not contributing to the society’s GDP, the degree is most likely only good as a signaling device for its holder. Paying their signaling cost out of the tax payer’s pocket is lunacy.

But, isn't there a huge gap between:

A) tracking and reporting the diversity of your contractors (which I think a techie might accomplish with a google form and a spreadsheet),

B) "establish an office" that performs A,

C) a "$25 million dollar diversity department that hires nearly a hundred staff"?
Defendants often don't testify at all, it's impossible for them to be impartial and generally they can only hurt themselves. They have the presumption of innocence and they don't have to say a word to establish that.
That theory doesn't convince me too much.

Jurassic Park (mentioned as well by the author), maybe as well Terminator 2, maybe something else had some reaaally well done rendered scenes, in my opinion done a lot better than the one of Neo vs Smiths, therefore a movie done a few years later should be able to at least reach the same level of quality... .

In my opinion it's more related about the company doing the CGI and their technical capabilities/know-how/experience of employees than the overall level of technology being available. Mmmhh... .

I’ve learned over time that many people who make helpful videos are not skilled at how to edit or pace a video at all. But I often need the content and can’t get it elsewhere. 2x is so great for screencast tutorials for things like Blender. I can’t imagine watching them any other way.
The "working with small local clients at all is the mistake" part is already well-covered, so I'll add a secondary rule:

Don't custom-build complicated websites for small local clients. Just don't. Most of them won't be able to maintain it over time - 90% of the time, even if they think they need and can afford your bespoke solution, what they _actually_ need is a simple hosted wix or squarespace instance or equivalent -- it may not look exactly like they imagine, but they'll be able to modify it and improve it and actually keep using it. Your bespoke solution is going to fall apart the first time they tweak something and hit a trivial syntax error they're not equipped to repair.

Scale the complexity of the solution to the capabilities of the client who's paying for it.
You're making it sound like only FAANGs operate on such a scale.
This isn’t really relevant. You can make more money and still be burdened

Auditing requirements.

Many certifications or legal requirements demand that you log all changes to your systems, including administrative changes.

Bastion host are a well-understood (both by operators and auditors) way to implement that, so it's still a go-to solution.
React (technically JSX) has a nice feature where all output is escaped. So this doesn't work:

const evil = "<script>alert('')</script>";
..
<div>{evil}</div>

That'll output:

<div>&lt;script&gt;alert('')&lt;/script&gt;</div>

If you must output a raw HTML string, they make you acknowledge that you're aware of what you're doing:

<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: evil}} />
Conveniently it turns out that the results are the same independent of your skill.
The lenses are still very poor compared to pro gear (especially like what we see in this article). This can be fixed in post with lens distortion correction but there's no substitute for a nice hunk of glass.
One amusing thing I've noticed about MAANG companies (with perhaps the exception of Google) is that despite passing the technical interview, the employees do not actually do any difficult or tricky implementations when something like that is actually needed.

I can't figure out if it's a strong aversion or an inability - the end result being the same in both cases, at best some approximation gets implemented instead, and the analysis / feature / etc just doesn't get done in the worst case.
Maybe they want the music clips for offline viewing?
>I’m not sure what you mean by “politics” here, so I’d rather be explicit and say what it looks like to me.

I mean that they explicitly said they retracted the study (in the journal, the authors haven't retracted anything) because they refuse to take any research from anybody who has ever accepted money from tobacco companies regardless of the rigor of the data or research. Non-academic reasons.

I understand their stance because, as you said, the tobacco companies have a long sordid history of research and it's a journal of lung health with a strong "anti-smoking" bent, but calling the study "retracted" implies that it was somehow false or disproven when it has not been.
> As a 46 year old I agree, but I'll say that most tradesmen I knew have either moved on to owning/managing or have switched careers. Overall they've done very well.

Suvivorship bias?

I imagine that those that are still in the trades are managers/owners. Those that have blown out knees, but don't have the skills to manage/own/washed out a decade ago... Are not.

There's not enough room in the trades for every person who did work in their 20s to manage/own in the 40s, unless you have a lot of attrition.

One suggestion I have is to update the "How to Request" section, which lays out a procedure for asking for a commercial license. It'd be simpler if the license terms require the licensor to provide contact information for commercial licenses in a defined location. That would help "guarantee[] ... paid licenses for big business are available on fair terms"; there's some consideration in this license for the rights of the big business here.

If the licensor can't be bothered to provide contact information, then they aren't upholding their side of the deal, considering the purpose of the license. The licensor could always use a different license, then.

ETA: It also makes the process for getting the license cut and dry. It's easy to determine if enough work was done by the big business to contact the licensor: did they use the contact information required to be present or not?
