Although to be fair, before photography, if you wanted to study an animal, you pretty much had to kill it, stuff it, and maybe make a drawing or painting of it. Lots of naturalists, including ones far greater than Audubon such as Darwin killed many animals.
Longbet: most popular software becomes completely free. Paid software simply can't compete and companies are better off getting their money through other means.

However you are paying for the energy required to run the software, and energy prices may also spike and become non-negligable. So technically, you are paying by the second.

Russia is already showing that they're not doing great. The actions are not very targeted (missiles sent into residential areas), there's no viable air defence, (transports getting hit by drones), estimated 1/3 of forces already sent in and the capital still not taken over, airports were changing hands a number of times... Ukraine may not be winning, but Russia definitely isn't.
What's the benefit of having a strong Ruble in this situation. I am pretty sure Putin and his team already have thought about the different scenarios - it's not like this was something spontaneous!

> Though we must end the relationship, we are proud of MIT’s work with Skoltech and the research it has produced over the past decade. We affirm our steadfast belief in our colleagues at Skoltech: They are fellow scholars who have devoted themselves to an ethos of openness and who have contributed their own expertise and knowledge to build a unique and pioneering academic center in Russia.

That makes me a bit sad. Couldn't MIT just suspend the program, instead of terminating it?

> What about Fukushima?

All safety protocols and safeguards were utterly ignored for profit. Here is an unbiased source on how spectacularly bad this was:

https://carnegieendowment.org/2012/03/06/why-fukushima-was-p...

The Fukushima reactor as it was deployed would have never passed inspection in the US or EU, for literally the reasons that caused the unfortunate event to pass. It is like building an automobile in 2022 with no airbags, antilock-brakes, power steering, and seat belts. It just doesn't make any sense.
> Anyone who isn't living in a cabin in the woods is "paid out of public money" to some extent.

This is objectively false.

> Most businesses have some government contract somewhere upstream or downstream of them;

A private business providing services that the government purchased as a market participant is not the same as people who are on the government’s payroll. This is not a small distinction, but if you want me to compromise and consider public contractors ineligible to unionize too, that’s a compromise I am willing to make, but it’s unnecessary.

> almost everyone interacts with the tax system, almost everyone is affected by zoning or law enforcement

Zoning is a can of worms that is outside the scope of this discussion, but I would have plenty to say about how this exactly is abused, in another thread actually on the topic. Needless to say, being the market-based beneficiary of poor laws is everyone’s right as a citizen in our Republic today, in a way I find disagreeable, and if they can manage it. This is also why you shouldn’t also get to be both a voter, and on the government’s payroll, and have a union.

> Why should the employment relationship be a special case, and what conceivable purpose is served by blocking such an arbitrary class of people from unionizing?

Because it is a moral hazard to have a class of citizens who are able to vote for both sides at the negotiating table when what’s at stake is somebody else’s money.
Increased demand for crypto? If anything that would make BTC prices (denominated in RUB) shoot up.
Source on the price comparison? Or did you mean that Lambda is 1000x cheaper than EC2 [1][2]? It's obviously load dependent but functions-style code is going to typically be cheaper than even the smallest EC2 instance while handling more load (provided your RAM/CPU usage fits within the envelope it's optimized around).

Disclaimer: I work at Cloudflare on R2 and Workers is even cheaper than Lambda@Edge (provided your workload fits within the compute envelope). Billing is based on CPU time not wall time [3]. Workers Bundled pricing can be more cost effective in some cases if you only need <= 50ms of compute.

I have no respect for selective scolding based on subjective definitions of kindness.

And I have no hostility towards anyone in this conversation. But I'm not above a sharp retort when I'm being condescendingly lectured to based on flawed premises.

They're dishing it out and they can take it too.
Aren't ordinary Russian people fairly supportive of the Russian imperialism? Didn't Putin have a very strong improvement in ratings in 2014, when first meddling with Ukraine's affairs? Around half of Russians were positive about the current invasion days before it started (and went well south from there). Keep in mind, we talk about one of their most brotherly nations out there.

It's sad in some universal way but I'm far from feeling empathetic. It's been too much abuse.

Is that abnormally low? Lack of monetization of cybercrime as hackers work for the state?

Right, that argument is what I meant by places without capital. If you don't have the wealth to get your kids to a good school, what do you do? And, as a nation, are we ok with the current predominant answer?
Reading comments like this makes me think that the real problem is that recruiters have never worked in engineering so have no idea what the job is actually like.

Putin is fucked. He bluffed with a bad hand with the goal of improving his approval rate and Ukraine called with a better hand. He retreats, he lose. He escalate further, he loses. His only exit is to save face with an ambiguous peace deal while he still can because nobody wants to play russian roulette or nuclear poker. Going nuclear is an even worse bluff. He is a psycho but have kids to worry about. And even if he became completely bat shit, he is encircled by corrupt morons and not suicidal fanatics, he will be murdered.

The controls to get back to your proper temperature after a shutoff are unreliable. What you need is a shutoff valve on the shower head itself, so the temperature stays the same, which is not common on many showers unless they are using the navy shower head too. It's mostly a UI issue.
full disclosure im 100% sucked into the news cycle.

That said I think the new development of belarus passing a referendum, updating its constitution to allow Russian nukes, and also join the war against Ukraine is serious.

Im not saying this is WW3, but I would feel better it Putin had just overtaken Ukraine quickly.

Who knows what the reality is, but if youre following western media it seems like Russia is losing.

This leaves Putin few options,

1. Continue conventional warfare and hope things get better, while sanctions bleed Russia out economically, and Ukraine receives more weapons and overall support.

2. Back out with his tail between his legs. This was supposed to be a show of force and military might, so it's going to be a tough pill to swallow for his ego.

3. make something up, like nato is supporting Ukraine too much and he has no choice but to use the nukes...

> but it said Inspired by Remy, and linked to this site. That's not how it works guys, my first email was clear enough, full source code and license, not this crap. It really is not that hard to create a new github/gitlab repo, do one initial commit and never touch it again.

Whats the net win to society here? Yet another stale repo floating in the wind? It seems like no one wins in this case. The author is free to choose whatever bone-headed license he wishes, and oppose its rules on whoever breaks them but it seems to me like people that use the AGPL don't want anyone to actually use their code and just want to exercise a power trip.

>By all appearances; Russia has no organic traffic. Just spiders and saboteurs. [...] Because there are no legitimate users from those countries. Just the worst kind of spam; the worst kind of fraud; basically the bane of the internet.

That sound suspiciously close to

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
If you provide obfuscated code you would be in violation of the license. It might even be a factor in higher damages.
There is no extrinsic significance, so people must make their own. For some, war is a means to that, unfortunately.

It’s almost explicitly Western policy at this point that Russia would be better a Chinese vassal than regional power. If Putin winds up dependent on Beijing, that isn’t great, but it’s better than the current situation.

between conservative revisionists, woke indoctrinators, bored resource officers looking to make minor situations a legal issue, politicians pushing standardized tests then making schools essentially teach to the test (which i could rant for hours about), all the bad teachers who sit aroubd collecting paychecks bc its too hard to fire them, our schools are a f-ing dumpster fire.

i want to believe in the public instituion..

but its been ripped up by conservatives, liberals, unions, beaucrats of all kinds, crime, over the top fear responses to crime, and system that acts more out of the protecting itself from legal liability than by a system actually good for kids - with moronic zero tolerance polices and policies that punishes self defense.

its a lost cause. and the public funds should follow the kid.

if public schools cant compete and have to close ? then good.

schools are rotten from the inside out and are beyond fixing.

school boards are ran by motivated, bored assholes with too much free time on their hands and unhealthy obsessions with trendy political agendas.

This will force public schools to compete with what parents actually want for their kids.

If public schools can't attract the funds with making moronic policy, then it's gutted.

If they respond to parental demand, then they stay alive and vital.

But as it stands, most parents are pretty helpless against shitty policy. Schools choice adds some democracy into the situation where beucracy, unions and politicians have eroded it.

I'm done being invested in the noble idea of the institution.

Reality is reality. And public schools are shit holes.

I'm still advocating we educate all children.

I just advocate that the money follows the kid and that the state and teachers union don't get a monopoly control of it.
No. It's difficult to say how a free a fair election would look like because there has not been any free press for at least 10 years (if ever...) and it got much worse recently. So it's not even clear who would be the opposition.

But I would not be too surprised if were similar as in the US. 50% vote for Trump.
If you had no freedom you wouldn't be able to comment on the internet. Freedom of expression is a freedom.

LC interviews are well past the curve of utility. 10 years ago, FB and others would do a simple fizzbuzz + lc easy/medium demonstrating that you had a good grasp of complexity, pointers, recursion, and iteration. I got a job or two by showing that I could DFS a binary search tree, count letter occurrences in a paragraph, or return the top k elements from two sorted lists.

Then people learned to practice these simple coding questions, and employers had to up the anty. Now everyone wants an LC expert who can do an LC hard in under thirty minutes with perfect code and no hinting. I wouldn't be surprised if LC has to open a new category of problem difficulty based on current trend lines.

At some point you really are hiring for a skill which is only applicable in interviews. Solving an LC hard in under 30 minutes has little bearing on whether a candidate could solve a novel research problem or difficult refactoring task in their day to day work.
Russia has no choice but to go all in with a massive ground presence and air control.

This is going to lead to excessive costs and crippling of the economy, especially with the sanctions.

The televised drama about Putin ordering special alert for nuclear facilities is a signal that he is getting desperate.

Either he was misled by yes men (most likely) or given false hopes by in-competent generals (also likely) or both.

With present successes, it is not sufficient to only have more troops on ground. An urban insurgency will bleed Russia for years.

When the people, lead by a charismatic leader showing extraordinary courage and resolve taste the motivation and identify Putin as aggressor, the war will be fought with will power. And already, Putin has come out weak when compared to Zelensky.

History will remember the hero who stood up to the tyranny of Putin and his legacy is forever tarnished.

Not a good closing chapter, Putin.

Exactly, Belarus did not go well.
> Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe, did you expect a full occupation in 5 days?

Putin clearly expected air superiority and the fall of Kiev by now. You can see that in their logistics chain fumbling after the first forty-eight hours.
Recruiters have nothing to do with the structure or format of the interview, so I'm not sure I follow.
Well, they could go the whole way and also port WinRT to Linux and MacOS! We can then have proper desktop cross-platform native apps without the electron baggage.
Will do! These books were introduced as an experimental format under “nouveau mathemathique”, probably were discontinued.

Alexei Navalny may be in prison, but he's still alive. It's true though that if Putin goes down as a leader he would bring Alexei down with himself

I was a big fan of Aldus PageMaker, versions 4 and 5 in the 90's and so much of what I learned using PageMaker still carries over to today... although I never transitioned to the Adobe versions.

This reminded me that when Adobe bought Macromedia it also bought up my favorite web site editor HomeSite when I was a ColdFusion developer in the late 90's. HomeSite became (a part of) Macromedia Dreamweaver, which I think still exists today in the Adobe world. Seems so so long ago.

> Today I saw a ton of russian propaganda that didn't even make any sense.

I‘m curious, like what for example?
Putin did. He had a plan for a 2-days war.
Going by the Foundations of Geopolitics book which seems to capture the strategy so far pretty well AFAICT, the candidates could be Finland & Mongolia? It's not just about direct annexation. A bulk of the work is in creating an indirect sphere of influence to avoid Germany's problem of having the rest of the world coalesce against them.
Oh that's really cool and good to know. I can totally afford to heat my place, but it's like a challenge for myself to find a set of home clothing that would keep me comfortably warm despite it being a bit chilly inside.

Still need to solve the cold yet damp (from sweating?) feet and sweating armpit issue although.

As others had noticed, the cold hand / feet thing is mostly a computer thing for me. Also probably due to me restricting my eating at times.
Are you sure they are not for war?

For example: https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2022/02/europe/russia-uk...

They are surely less for war now but the effect would be opposite if they managed to capture Ukraine within a few days.
Any wealthy person who has assets in Russia and outside of Russia could take advantage of this situation.

> From my own US perspective the average Russians are enabling their government by allowing them to wage war. If average Russians leveraged consequences on your leaders that reflected your 8% approval rate; then the conflict would end.

From my US perspective, average Americans are enabling their government by allowing them to wage a 3-decade long war against Russia. If average Americans leveraged consequences on your leaders that reflected your president's god awful, approval rate, then the conflict would end.

You don't have to stan for Putin to see that US and NATO (i.e. the US) have a huge amount of responsibility for what's happening right now. The crazy thing is that it's the only thing we as Americans have even a hair of a say about. We can't influence the Russian government. Maybe we can influence our own.

In Javascript, "99" > "10000000" === true. Naive user agent parsing libraries will fall for this problem while they're trying to block out known bad browsers.

Hard to tell what shitty browser detection they use that doesn't turn the version number into a number before comparising the two, but this is why both Chrome and Firefox are hesitant about releasing version 100 of their browser.
That’s different: most people were expecting Russia to have air superiority quickly and control of major roads, airfields, etc., even if that’s not most of the country. From the initial rush, I think the assumption was that they could blitz Kyiv and capture the fraction of politicians who didn’t flee, on the assumption that a lot of people would stop fighting by then. Air superiority would make everything else they do easier and they appear to have thrown away a lot of their more heavily trained troops on those air drops, none of which can be helping morale.
Sure, the elite everywhere will rest safely in private, but their very public, pet tyrants often don't always as well. Caligula, Hitler, Saddam, Gaddafi, et al did not retire peacefully.
To spell out the argument in more detail:

Minimum wage legislation only concerns you, if you are running a business that offers jobs to poor people. If you automate and hire robots instead: no obligation. If you don't open a business in the first place: no obligation. If you outsource overseas: no obligation.

Do you see how the article I linked applies?

I would suggest that if we want to help poor people via legislation, we give them money financed out of general taxation. Instead of special obligations that effectively act as a tax on interactions with the needy.

> I firmly believe in a minimum wage.

What makes you believe so?

What do you think minimum wage legislation accomplishes? What are the costs and benefits you see?

What empirical evidence, if any, would change your mind?
>Ukraine may not be winning, but Russia definitely isn't.

good summary I suspect.
Yes, but with capital markets, there are real world assets anchoring the stock market.

With crypto, the whole cycle is pure pricing. Say a bank converts crypto to money, the bank has no other way to use the crypto, other than selling it back on the exchange, presumably to other retail "investors" or other banks.

With no asset actually anchoring it, a crypto is an extremely weak pricing product that moves with sentiments, emotions and feelings.
No, they’re investing in people who earn enough that they can take a day off work, or have a single parent earning enough to support them.

Anyone from a family where the parents are necessarily unable to do that cannot attend. So this is a really good way to select for a specific socio-economic group. This also helps inflate grades because most data shows that wealth correlates with academic achievement (for many reasons that aren’t “families are rich because they are smarter than other poorer families”)
I doubt they (still) have such capabilities.
Thanks! Not sure whether it would be a great idea, but it certainly seems like an incentive that could conceivably work.
