Negotiations are one thing, but Nato countries can’t just ship out military to the vicinity because an attack on one country would then mean that Russia is closer to Nato member countries. Who gets to be a member of Nato is a delicate balance, and there’s a reason why countries like Finland and Sweden are not. Russia apparently wants a buffer between itself and Nato (there are some exceptions like Norway). Sending a lot of Nato troops to Ukraine would signal that Ukraine is a de facto Nato border.

CICO mostly doesn’t work if you count the calories wrong. But if you don’t eat 1000kcal under your actual TDEE, there is little chance you will not lose weight (barring severe health problems).

If you metabolize less or more doesn’t really matter as it gives you a hard maximum of what you could potentially ingest (both in the TDEE calculation and the restricted diet)

Not to be too dismissive of this, but for companies trying to just run a service and getting constantly bombarded by stuff like DDoS issues, Cloudflare and its ilk lets them service a large portion of "legitimate" users, compared to none.

I don't really know how you resolve that absent just like... putting everything behind logins, though.
If his AWS instance is running internet facing applications and services, then it makes sense to have the AWS firewall lock down port 22 to a single IP or two (eg your bastions), and also have that AWS firewall only allow all access to those specific internet facing ports for any relevant applications. Yes you can and should also harden at the OS level. But it’s smart to utilize AWS’ security as well as much as possible on any instance that you need to be in production and available. You want to limit it’s exposure in any way you can.

So back to the bastion. You have the bastion open to all IPs for port 22 because you want to be able to connect to it from anywhere. Yes you also of course lock it down and use best practice sshd config measures. But you only have ssh running and you use keys with passphrase for your outbound ssh connections for increased security. You keep it updated.

Your bastion will not be as locked down as your AWS instance though because it won’t have that AWS security in front of it, but you’re not concerned that much about your bastion, because it only has ssh listening, and you’ve disabled root ssh and password login, you keep it regularly updated, and the only thing you ever do with it is ssh to it and then ssh again to your important endpoints using a key WITH a passphrase.

Your AWS instance is your primary concern and is the important thing that you care about the most here. So you put the most protection in front of that in front of key services. Like OP said, ssh to the AWS instance sort of becomes “internal” so to speak, as you can only come in from the bastion with a key and passphrase.
Sorry if sarcasm doesn't travel over the internet, but are you saying that the correlation between high pay and competence is weak at best?

Either way, given how both US parties spend on the presidential election more than Amazon on Lord of the Rings, I do think the winner should get a big fat paycheck. I can only see this reducing conflicts of interest, or at least making them more public.

This is another myth. Even if you put on a serious amount of muscle, the change to your daily calorie burn is insignificantly increased in the larger scale of things.

> But one of the reasons why I choose academia is because I believed in the power of ideas & hardwork.

Yeah sorry about the disappointment. But no. Academia is very far removed from that. And probably even before you think. I might say we got good ideas from there not because Academia favours ideas and hard work (it doesn't), but despite of that.
Mark Zuckerberg really has only one line on his CV: Founder & CEO of Facebook.

This is obviously a great achievement but I think it also means he has been living in a bubble all his professional life.
I'm part of the team that makes Zoho Writer's grammar checker[1] and we did go with a modern neural-net based NLP technique to detect grammatical errors. It had a huge win in terms of the number of errors it caught, but we could never tell the user what exactly is wrong with that sentence, because.. well, deep learning.

So we've taken a hybrid approach where a modern AI flags errors and then run it through a rule engine to try and figure out what exactly is wrong. This way we get the best of both worlds.
That lack of explanation is also why Grammarly is sticking with GOFAI systems perhaps. But the future of this problem area is certainly AI augmented with rule engines.

I was going to say that the line in the article

>> This new mode of living came with another alien sensation: that of having tons of time.

describes what it's like for me if I don't smoke or drink for a few days. You say you healed your addiction and depression by going off-grid. I lived off-grid for a long time and it probably made me more of an addict. But at least I was living a genuine life, meeting people and ending up in weird situations that stimulated me. Not in the depressing mundane world of social media.

Your post makes me remember that, and it's something I very much want to get back to. The original article makes me sad that people a few years younger than me are so addicted to this screen that 3 days away is as difficult and mind-boggling for them as 3 days without booze is for me.
Ah ok, I see now how this can be read that way. Anyway I question the math. Fulltime enrolment is 15 credits which typically is considered 45h of work a week (1h in-class + 2h studying). What we also shouldn't forget is that on top of that students typically have a job as well.
I don’t think it’s something they consciously want to do (“… pointless reflexive tic”). I’m sure many of us have a site where it takes a few milliseconds to hit ctrl-t, type the first few letters, let autocomplete fill it out and hit enter. If your mind is wandering you can easily find yourself doing this many times per day
It's a hail mary.

Zuckerberg knows Facebook is turning into an hollow husk of its former self and the metaverse is his last ditch attempt to keep things together.
What a terrible comment. How do you know if someone has money or not? I read OP's post as meaning they had probably given up making money in favor of living a richer life.
It's a generational thing, Kids don't want to be seen on the same place as their parents. Youth know facebook by name but they won't touch it. Changing name to Meta might get some over by mistake until they see their parents and then they are gone again :-)
To be fair, Meta started working on the components of its "metaverse" before COVID-19. It is a weird gamble though. I get that Facebook needs a new product ready before Facebook and Instagram succumb to the next social media platform, or just lose relevance, but their metaverse seems like it's not thought through.

My main concern about the traction for the metaverse is how are they going to pull people in? The good thing about both Facebook and Instagram is that you can use both product on the go. You don't have to set aside time for it. Celebreties and influencers aren't going to move from Instagram, where they can do few posts during the day from where ever they happen to be, to a platform where they need to put on special equipment and allocate hours where they can't do anything else. I question whether or not you're actually able to be an influencer, if you spend hours a day in a virtual world. That's not inspiring or even that interesting.

VR makes sense for gaming, not but social media.

The amount of outright hostility I've faced professionally for suggesting mob programming was staggering.

Some developers really like to be left alone, and it's terrible for the business, but it's been an unspoken thing (or spoken, i.e. Maker Time) for so long that any attempt at disrupting the freedom triggers a substantial backlash.

This looks like a lot of fun, I hope I'll be able to implement it someday...

My impression is that those are the same thing.

> “Look Cesar, the truth is that, if you are a mediocre researcher, but your department wants to keep you, they’ll find a way to keep you. And if you are a strong researcher, and your department wants to get rid of you, they’ll find a way to get rid of you.”

Having seen people go through the tenure process at peer institution, this sounds right. Your department writes up an internal assessment of you and solicits letters from faculty at other institutions. They can stack the deck in your favor, and to some extent against you, by choosing favorable or unfavorable letter-writers. The people who review a tenure file that the department writes up can push back or ask questions, but it would be difficult for them to undo the effect of a department's framing — if the department worked hard to shade it one way or the other.

> I finally got “an answer.” The president of MIT told me that tenure was not about research, productivity, or merit. It was about office politics & being liked by your department.

I don't think conclusion is warranted. Even if the people in a department don't want you around, if you have outside interest they would look like fools to have not tenured you. If you are sufficiently excellent to get outside interest from peer institutions, your home institution will be pressured to grant you tenure as well. They might not make you the most compelling offer to stay, but you will get tenure.

I’ve certainly felt this way - overwhelmed. It sounds like you’re proactive and diligent and in my opinion many people recognise this and it’s much easier to teach you how to rebase your branch than to teach you to care about doing a good job!

I too went from small to big and had to learn the frameworks and processes of bigger places, coming from having to do everything myself. I’ve also changed types of roles which is just another set of “out of comfort level” issues.

In the first few months I’d say ask all the dumb questions …they’re not gonna fire you for being new in a place different to where you’ve been. Thinkabout the time and money wasted if they fire you before they give you a chance, they should definitely try to help you for months before that happens. No one wants to be out hiring again if they can fix simple learning problems.

And write things down so you don’t have to ask twice.

You’ll get there.
I use a similar tool (Grammarly) for all business related communication, as a non-native English speaker, to avoid simple grammar mistakes. For example, I often make the were/where, it's/its typos because, due to my native language, I think of words phonetically while I type them out, even if English isn't. It also highlights very long sentences, which reminds me to rephrase and break them up for legibility.

I may be a bit jaded, a lot of rich people like to pretend they where poor and that their success is entirely self made. Stories like Theranos reinforce the image that the social circles are mostly static and unchanging no matter what the people involved are up to.

That's because it is in bytes, representing cache sizes. But I agree, a clarification is needed
It reminds me on those crypto scams that just try to generate hype by acting as if you are the next big thing. And I say acting because ultimately you don't care about realizing an actual working product, but about getting capital from people who buy into the hype.

They hired you and have to take responsibility for training you. Don’t let they’re Byzantine development practices scare you. In all places that I’ve worked in like that - Jira sweat shops - the product was a tinderbox of disaster code waiting to burst into flames and nobody noticed. Everyone is chained to their Jira tickets - including the whole management hierarchy - and nobody bothers to look up to take a fresh look at the big picture. You have out-of-the box, novel experience and can help them far more than I think you realize… They need you. “Hey guys, do you really think this is a good idea..?”
I also have that gut feeling, mind the pun. It stands to reason to me that since metabolism is incredibly complex, any slight variation in any of the parameters can lead to significant differences observed at an overall operational level.

It is a very valid point that dieting / food intake converts to calories way more drastically than exercise.

The article is taking this one step further though and saying those 300 calories burned by exercise are simply conserved elsewhere throughout the day automatically by your body.

The claim then is that if you exercise and burn 300 calories, but eat an extra 300 to offset it you won't end up at a neutral state and instead will gain weight as if you hadn't exercised at all.
When Mark Zuckerberg announces his company values are “Meta, metamates, me.” it sounds like he means "Meta, Metamates, and Mark Zuckerberg"

I mean, it's his company so I guess he can have those corporate values if he wants, but it's straying in to radical honesty to say the aims of the company are specifically to further his own interests.

We tend to think investors love to chase clouds. These ideas have existed for a long time, and making them a reality - of course - isn't easy. I tend to believe an investor is looking at how good a company can sell the idea to consumers, even if the tech isn't there yet. The company tricks the consumer - not the investor. People buy the half-finished tech, the company appreciates in value, and the investor very likely planned for this. Maybe the investor is more interested in snake oil than full self-driving automation.

There are stupid investors out there, but they won't be investors for long.

Reality Honks Back
when I set out the first time I had just 2K in my pocket, I struggled to keep a job down, and I thought of killing myself. Going to the woods became a metaphor (an in joke only I knew) that was to end me. Nobody knew but my intention wasn't ever to come back. My plans included a bottle of vodka, various hard drugs, a rope, and me hanging in a tree.

I'm glad I didn't do it and instead rediscovered how I felt as a 6yro boy being told to get out of the house into the the pouring rain by my dad. There were woods all around where I grew up and I remember complaining about boredom. My dad had this rule where he would kick me out if I complained about being bored. So I went to the woods and gave names to "my trees" and built shelters to sit and imagined what it was like to be a native American.

If you're looking for work you should work on yourself first and not blame your environment. Nobody will stop you from complaining of course but it's ultimately not getting you anywhere. Some of us have better starting points but I'm living proof that even if your whole family is abusive garbage, you can optimize your chances of luck in life.

If your environment doesn't support you it's on you to change it. Even if that means leaving your country, your friends, your family. Even if it means leaving your kids! Because what kind of a role model can are you to them when all you spew is toxicity? They're better without you in that case. So it's better to fix yourself.

Money, job, income doesn't play a role in this when the only future you can imagine is you not hugging a tree but hanging in one.
I really think "most people" is a severe exaggeration.

Even in the US "most people" could probably be lumped into per diem, contract, gig, or remarkably tenuous work arrangements.
