> The best example of that is how Putin squandered all the inherited technological potential of USSR.

My rationalizing model of that is a sort of Trump-like populist move. He might want to be seen as visibly anti-West, because that's what gives him the best support base - it might just be what some in Russia expect, or want to see. This is of course disappointing to some extent from a Western POV, but not to be altogether unexpected given the lack of support Russia got from the West back in the 1990s (while hit by a deep economic crisis). Those chickens might now be coming home to roost, and if so it would be quite hard to wish for better attitudes towards the West today.
Please tell us how you do the walking meditation. It sounds great and I’d love to try it.
In my limited understanding so far:

You cannot order to any address, only to residential addresses that USPS ships to (as indicated by their Residential Delivery Indicator). Specifically, you cannot order to commercial addresses and PO boxes.

Resale is not prevented but (intentionally or not) limited by the distribution of only 4 tests per home, regardless of how many people live there. This means that poor folks where typically many people share a household get fewer tests per person to begin with, while more affluent folks (who are less likely to resell the tests) get more per person.

I use a personal Gmail account and my custom domain hosted on zoho (for free) . Each user on the custom/zoho redirects all the mail to Gmail. Gmail is configured to default use the zoho smtp server as the outbound. This has worked great for me for years. When my parents' custom domain needs to be migrated shortly, I expect to set them up with the same thing.
You can take a look at this article [1], I think it does a good job of explaining why black-starting a power grid is risky and time consuming, especially when not maintained well.

"It’s a large stepwise process to build up load, build up generation, build up more load, build up more generation until they’ve got enough reliability to go to the next element of the system..."

There are added challenges in a distributed system. Black-starting a hydroelectric plant is easy but I doubt if Texas has any.

And the GP's example is the perfect illustration. "A murderer is Joe" sounds really weird. No native English speaker would ever say that. They would say, "Joe is a murderer" or "The murderer is Joe" or even "One of the murderers is Joe." But never "A murderer is Joe." Maybe in a Victorian novel, but not in a movie.
But what is numerical optimisation if not throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks? Do you only count analytical optimisation as optimisation?
Huh? What kind of issues are you talking about? The person above said 5 bricks in the row. You have to try really hard to get that even with cheap noname Android phones.

As for non-critical issues, the debacles with "holding it wrong" and forced low performance mode are quite memorable. I don't remember anything quite as bad as forced slowdown in the Nexus/Pixel line.
Yeah if your low traffic site doesn't need any crazy compute you can probably run it for $5/mo on any commodity VPS provider like Linode or DigitialOcean
There's no way to "better handle" leaving your corrupt puppet state to fend for itself after decades of fighting the will of the people who wanted a native Islamic government with their cultural values to rule. Americans universally fail to understand how unpopular we are abroad, how awful our low regulation capitalist values are, and how our military is seen as the murder machine that keeps our world-wide bullying going. There was never political will or loyalty in the puppet government or puppet military we built in Afghanistan. The only question was who was going to hold the bag when we finally had to leave.

The only good way to do this was to never invade and conquer but instead to chase ObL and capture him and fight the Taliban only as needed. How Bush got out of any responsibility for his reckless adventurism, not only here but the unforgivable tragedy of endless war crimes and crimes against humanity his Iraq invasion was, is the real tragedy here not Biden's "execution" somehow being sub-par. Per usual Democrats have to clean up after Republicans.

I just straight-up don't believe anybody would willingly be a homeless addict if they felt they had any achievable path toward a fulfilling life. Drugs are a coping method (Source: have done drugs). Of course some people will choose not to participate in a society they feel has abandoned them. Everyone has a different breaking point and the world shouldn't be set up so people fail and suffer by default unless they "'earn' a living". That's such a fucked-up concept and we even have a normalized phrase for it.

Even CDC readily admits this: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/11778/cdc_11778_DS1.pdf

"Males have reported using methamphetamine […] increased energy to work multiple jobs"

To me it feels like your comment is the one taking "the view that the victim-criminals enjoy their situation" if you think people choose to drop out of society even when there are bootstraps by which they could pull themselves up v(._. )v
> I have been trying to figure out is what explains the current escalation to the point in which since the spring of 2021

It’s likely from a perception that the Biden regime is weak, and so, this is the “time to act”. Ukrainians can understand that too and hence are trying to get closer to NATO, to seek protection. Putin sees that in turn as NATO aggression.

From Putin’s point of view annexation of Crimea went swimmingly well, internally at least. He sees a golden opportunity to repeat it again.

From a propaganda point of view, I think it will be challenging to get Americans to care about Ukraine. With the pandemic, and other domestic issues, worrying about it is not a priority. And, unsurprisingly, Putin understands that as too, which makes him bolder.

They basically can't. You run into the same problem that caused the blackout to begin with -- you need to turn on the generators one-by-one, but you also need to find an outlet for the power to exactly match the supply that's being generated. If you run a power plant without sufficient load, the frequency will flip in the other direction, and if you attach too much demand to a single generator that can't handle it, the frequency will drop again.

So you need to do this slow 'titration' of turning on power assets, connecting demand to them, balancing that load and then moving on to the next thing. Texas has something like 11 designated 'black start' generators that are meant to be bulletproof but more than half of them failed in some way last February.

I'm going to restrict myself entirely to discoveries and inventions before 01900, just before a (German!) patent clerk in the Swiss patent office invented modern physics.

The Swiss discovered graph theory, the Ice Age, the Law of Large Numbers and actually most of pre-Laplacian probability theory, cavitation, DNA, topology, ozone, the modern mathematical concept of "function", metal ion complexation by ligands, the endothelium, e, stevia and several thousand other plant and arthropod species, arguably logarithms, the molecular structure of cocaine, the nuclei of comets, classical beam theory and in particular the critical load of buckling beams, nitrocellulose (aka smokeless powder and celluloid), the laws of hydrodynamics, the origin of beeswax, convergent evolution (de Candolle), the composition of alcohol, the hyperbolic functions, dolomite, the Balmer formula for the spectrum of hydrogen, the atmospheric origin of plant carbon content, light-entrained circadian rhythms, the irrationality of π, the Lambert law for diffuse illumination, and the contagious nature of syphilis.

They also did an enormous amount of careful work in the 17th through 19th centuries on cataloging and systematizing fossils, stratigraphy, geography, plant taxonomy, fossil animal taxonomy, etc., that underpins our modern understanding of the history of Earth and life. That work isn't so easily summarized in a list of discoveries, because it wasn't the discovery of one single species or mineral that led to the insights, but the accumulated weight of many thousands.

They also invented Calvinism (to which Congregationalism, Puritanism, and Presbyterianism belong), invar, the Argand lamp (the main light source other than the fireplace in most European and American homes during the 19th century), Saussurian semiotics, most of current mathematical notation, jewel bearings, arguably Wagner's Ring cycle of operas, the transverse Mercator projection and actually most modern map projections, caissons, the cross-beat escapement, absinthe, solar ovens (Horace de Saussure), passivation of iron by pickling, the remontoire, the fuel cell, the rack-and-pinion railway, the internal-combustion-powered automobile (the de Rivaz engine, running on hydrogen, in 01808), the full metal jacket bullet, the first practical hygrometer, Rousseau's political philosophy, forensic facial reconstruction, the high-explosive artillery shell, the roller chain, malleable cast iron [edit: maybe not], the microtome, the tourbillon escapement, milk chocolate, and scientific medicine (post-Galenic, cleaning wounds and using drugs with knowledge of their lethal doses).

And Jaquet-Droz's automaton called The Writer is perhaps the most astounding Swiss invention of all: an android containing a programmable pen plotter using a vector font, completed by 01774, 248 years ago.

Maybe we should give them some credit for inventing modern democracy, too.

Suck it, Leonardo.

What exactly is wrong with plastic construction apart from that it is not cool?
Honestly, practically everything from the Phillip K. Dick reader is a gem. Other favorites of mine include Fair Game, The Golden Man, Tony And the Beetles, Foster You're Dead, War Veteran, The Chromium Fence, and Second Variety. Truly crazy how ahead of their time some of these concepts were for the 1950s. (Of course, The Eyes Have It is just more of a little joke.)
Based on the abstract, they did not show anything useful, they produce a null result, this just means that there weren't any effects large enough to be statistically significant for their sample. Weirdly, the still seem to draw a conclusion based on this null result which is really not correct. To draw the conclusion that they did they would have to show that the hypothesis that there is a clinically significant change can be discarded. Which is not mentioned in the abstract that they do.
TFA explains at length that the power generating facilities are only half the problem. The other half are the gas wells and pipelines themselves. Fully winterized gas plants still can't make electricity if they can't get any gas. But the gas industry profited handsomely from the crisis, and it's very powerful in Texas. They successfully fought back a winterizing requirement for themselves.

Our main codebase is in PHP, but we enforce type hinting for all new code, so it feels more like a static language at this point in practice. However, there are chunks of old code without type hinting or types in PHPDocs. Whenever I have to deal with that code (especially if it's unknown code), my productivity decreases considerably. I have to click through many layers of functions to figure out the data flow to understand what the implicit contract of a function is. In static languages, all you need to care about is a contract, the rest is implementation details. In the dynamic portions of the codebase, there's just too much cognitive load because I have to look at implementation details to get it. PHPDocs and dynamic checks seem to be pretty error-prone, because a dev often forgets to update both the code and the annotations/type checks (and type checks are often ad hoc and random), leading to even more cognitive load. Having static analyzers in the pipeline to have some control of the situation leads to longer build times, so in the end it feels like PHP builds slower than all our Go projects combined.
I'm not a big "note-taker" but Dendron has stuck with me mainly because of vscode. I spend so much time in vscode already and the familiar UI is a big plus. I also use the vscode vim extension which works just as well with Dendron.

> Soy is poison

The concern about soy in infant food is well placed, but your broad statement is hyperbolic.

I don't know where you are, but I'm in the US, where 2/3 of adults are overweight, and half of them are obese. Whatever effect soy has on our endocrine systems, it is dwarfed by the effects caused by body fat itself.

As for the effect of soy on adults, for most people there is no problem unless they have excessive soy consumption, and those problems are fixed simply by eating less soy. Soy also has known health benefits, and an honest discussion would weigh the two.

From 2018: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC5646220/

"Neuroendocrine disruption by soya isoflavones in mature neuroendocrine systems is by and large reversible with dietary modification and thus, with the exception of some hypersensitive groups such as hypothyroid and oncology patients, soya likely poses no long term health risk and may even confer modest benefits."

Discord has a centralized profile system built around gamer culture and the idea of using a “handle” that is rightly disconnected from your identity. It has so many features designed around gaming.
So what is it for? I keep seeing this argument, but it the end it seems like it's wasting a ridiculous amount of energy while not being particularly good at anything.

The energy being renewable doesn't mean much if it still wastes it. It could be used for something actually useful.

It appears this is not possible. I don’t need any of the G Suite features, and I don’t even need email. I just need my single user inside G Suite to be converted to a normal unmanaged Google account but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that.

Cold showers. There's a bit of a learning curve, but man is it great. Makes me more focused and awake, I can keep going all day even when I'm tired. At the same time, it also makes me really relaxed-- it's like it turns down the anxious part of my brain. Sleep comes a little easier too, not completely game changing there but there's a definite improvement. The cold is annoying in the beginning but at this point it isn't really even unpleasant honestly. All around amazing tool
How does that differ from what it is advertised as, or from what you expected?
Is it relevant?
And that explains why they are not too worried about sanctions. Sure, it would be unpleasant but they are already under sanctions and Putin is hasn’t lost popularity too much.

I have got pretty serious dyslexia, and thus I have problems with reading subtitles fast enough. As a child this basically meant no subs for me. So I definitely see the value in dubs.

These days I have gotten a bit faster at reading and I got things like more readable fonts to help me (also, some subtitle systems are just terrible, I often torrent stuff that is on netflix despite having an account because their subtitle system sucks).

Yet, I am from the Netherlands, and here, with basically nothing except media for children being dubbed, I have gotten better at reading them and used to it. And honestly, despite the effort I have to go through, I totally agree. It is totally worth the extra effort. I'll always prefer the original language, no matter the quality of the dub.

Language is just an important part of the culture of the original content.

Nice mix of true, false and fud.

Let's assume your scenario: you want to make an industry which is competitive globally, and feel that you need to subsidize it to get results abroad. Right?

1. This doesn't apply in your domestic market. You said "competitive globally", right?

2. When it applies in somebody else's domestic market, I imagine your subsidies are intended to level the playing field, so the electricity price will be, more or less, what's in that market in the first place. Otherwise we're talking about dumping prices, which are a totally different animal, and illegal where they're not simply immoral.

3. Dumping. Sure, you can be Putin who wants to go make Germany dependent on Russian gas, so he spends 30 years pouring money and keeping prices artificially low, only to raise them when it's strategically convenient. In this case crypto yep, will benefit from the periods of low price, but I'll point you to the fact that the whole game is so much larger that focusing on crypto is like stubbing your toe on a entrance in a cathedral. You could start jumping around on one foot and cursing crypto, or you could raise your head and see there's a freaking huge thing you're living into which is made of interests which make crypto money seems like change forgotten in laundry pockets.

And then probably shy away from something you dont't understand and go back to bitching about crypto because this is something simple and makes you feel good and something gotta change, dammit!
>Because conventional capabilities don't matter if they're indistinguishable from nuclear capabilities till they impact.

Then wait for impact and assess. That's the entire point of having flexibility of second strike, to give options other than launch on warning. It's why SSNs exists, to make space for conventional warfare. It's the posture major powers have adopted to reduce or mitigate unknowns in case of peer warfare where both sides are going to throw everything at each other. Because they'd rather wait to be sure than end the world on a maybe.

Again from PRC perspective, almost every conventional US capability are already indistinguishable from nuclear. Especially stand off / beyond visual ordnance that will be used against PRC soil in initial SEAD wave or whatever used to penetrate A2D2. At minimum they threaten the entangled PRC conventional/nuclear infra, which is direct attack on PRC nuclear forces. So do we expect US never to attack PRC mainland? We can hope not, but it's mentioned in enough wargames / policy / think tank papers that it can't be ruled out. So a proportional conventional PRC counterstrike can't be either. Even if it elevates chance of strategic retaliation.

The best that can be done is set expectations that retaliation will be proportionally conventional before moving up the escalation ladder, i.e. US Lancers hits Dalian shipyard building new PRC carriers, PRC notifies US via hotline that 10 conventional hypersonics is going to sink CVN being retrofitted at Puget Sound within 15 minutes. It's not risk free, but everything becomes risky when things go hot.

Similar changes happened in Japan (Ainu and Okinawan languages displaced by Japanese) and Taiwan (Taiwanese language displaced by Chinese). In this aspect, I credit India for not coercing a national language to displace regional languages. But then such unification of languages may be a contributing factor to keeping country together and alleviate regionalism.
