You know a country is failing when the "leader" declares war for "reasons" to distract everyone from the society collapse otherwise. 100% like North Korea but with real dangerous power. Also handily reduces population of your own country to support.

So many innocent people are going to die for absolutely no reason at all, imagine if US tried to take over Cuba or some other coastal island.

At least we now know what's going to happen to China when they take over Taiwan, lots of "sanctions" but no action because who is going to stop them and cut off all their manufacturing/supply?

With Russia there is nothing they have but natural gas and still nothing can be done except throw more bodies on the fire which won't happen.

Speaking of which, why wouldn't China just take Taiwan right now? World doesn't seem to handle multiple problems at once very well and they also need a "distraction" from covid and economy problems.

>> I'm not sure profit is their only motivation here.

Not disagreeing or trying to get capital P political, just giggled a bit at "not profit" being the ominous factor. "Only in it for the profit" is now, perhaps, the devil we know.

More seriously, I get the point you are making. I don't know what I think of it all, honestly. There could be arguments in both directions. Maybe I'm overly considering the current crisis in Ukraine, but doesn't having holdings in the west disincentivize conflict and rifts? At some point along a conflict ladder, foreign assets get seized.

Maybe it's good to be exchanging hostages. I suppose it's just ambiguous/arguable what counts as who's hostage.

This map is waaaaay out of date.

There have been attacks all over the country today.

Explosions in Odessa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Mariupol, and more.

Fucking everywhere.

My friends and loved ones woke up to explosions.

My employees woke up to explosions.

Many can't leave because the roads are massively congested. Cash machines have stopped operating. The shops are running out of food.

There are no flights. None. All the airports are under missile fire.

They've raised the Russian flag over buildings.

This is all out war.

Evidently, sanctions do jack shit.

I spent some fair amount of years as both a government employee in DoD and then some years as a defense contractor amd I can tell you the military industrial complex is a real thing.

So OPs comment is much in line with my understanding of the issue. It is an unfortunate state of affairs.

Exactly, capital cost of large civil engineering project and the financing of that is actually the driver of the cost.

If you can build a nuclear plant with 500MW output and reduce the amount of concrete needed by significant factor, all of a sudden your are quite competitive.

Just for comparison, this is one of the furthest along commercial GenIV projects designs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pZC_ajI8Hs

No massive cooling towers. No gigantic containment cylinder. No gigantic low-pressure steam turbine.

In a PWR the core containment vessel is incredibly expensive and can only be built a few places, but its actually not the cost driver. Even so, compare to those, modern GenIV core vessels are vastly cheaper.

Not having to weld 8 inch gigantic steel vessels is far easier. See:

What's the problem exactly with a higher false positive rate there?

We're not talking about a crime enforcement unit here. We're talking about access to a platform, which doesn't owe it to anyone to provide it in the first place.

You can take down 90% of content on Pornhub without any loss to anyone; adult models would gladly take a 1% false positive rate on new uploads vs. content getting rampantly stolen and shared without consent.

The solution to revenge porn might not be platforms, but platforms can easily make this problem an order of magnitude smaller.

That's to say, platforms can be the most significant part of the solution.

It is originally a thesis from works of Ibn Khaldun, 14th century Muslim scholar from Tunisia who is considered a father of sociology and athropology..

In this case, the western intelligence organizations were spot on from several weeks ago. Biden played it as well as he could, reserving some further sanctions until this happened. I lived through the "Iraq has WMD" build-up and lies, and I thought they were lies then, before we went in and found out there were no WMD. This was good intelligence.

Unfortunately, it does no one any good. All we can do at the moment is sanction Russia. But it does argue that we should be prepared for a nuclear response if they cross any line west, as long as Putin or some other madman is in power there.

It is, it's a requirement of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the EU, and in particular the UK and Irish regulators implementations of it. Especially the Irish one, since YouTube EMEA is based in Ireland and effectively make the regulatory decisions for the entire EU under the AVMS.

I feel like we all desperately took our eye off the ball when that was passed.
Now, I forgot to mention that all this "they're bad" sentiment is part of so-called post-imperial syndrome. Many are really dissentful.

Also, I'm old enough to remember the popular dissent with the USSR in the late '80s. We as kids would repeat the adults' discussions about how bad the country was, and our parents weren't political dissidents at all, just common dwellers, absolutely non-ideologized. Many wanted friendship with the West. Only very ideologized communtists wanted to keep the status quo when the USSR collapsed, and obviously even secret services where Putin served wanted to open the country and the economy and did not resist the collapse, nor support the GKChP coup.

The economic crisis of the '90s and the war in Yugoslavia where what changed people's minds. I remember seeing a woman carry a white plastic bag with large US flag on it, probably in 1991 or 1992, but that became unthinkable in 1999-2000. Even a liberal pro-Western TV presenter Parfyonov showed some sort of dissent in his historic program when he described the events of 1991.

Those years many changed their minds about the past, and went all way from complete discontent with the communist regime to believing that it was good and that it was destroyed intentionally.

> Sure, but what Russia was constantly telling NATO is that while Russia respects other countries' desire to join NATO - Russia believes that NATO should not allow those countries to join.

It's funny how hard it is for Russia(ns) to get their head around the concept of self-determination: It's none of Russia's fricking business what alliances other countries join; and it's none of Russia's fricking business which countries other alliances accept as members.

See? It's not really all that hard.

> Russia does not care about Ukraine's self-determination as long as NATO's systems are not there.

Russia obviously does not care about anyone's self-determination except their own. (And even that only if "self" is defined along the "one man, one vote" principle: The dictator is The Man, and The Vote is his. The only people with any appreciable degree of "self-determination" are the dictator's cronies, and even that is fraught with risk.)
> It sounds somewhat like “gmail for files” which is … problematic because email search works well enough because it’s relatively rarely done.

Gmail does not work for me.

As someone in IT I get some number of automated messages (e.g., cron). With Gmail all I can do is tag them and have a "folder" / view of just those tagged messages. But they also pollute my Archive 'folder' as well.

But I do not want them there, because they are not a priority generally, and they pollute search results.

I want an actual separate folder to file these messages in that is out of the way so as not to pollute the rest of the namespace.

It’s not for the government to decide what’s a “requires tenet” of a religion. Moreover, Islam isn’t Protestant Christianity. You don’t read the book and make up your own mind about what it means. Islam has baked into it a principle that lay people defer to religious scholars on major doctrinal questions.

American Muslims (I’m an immigrant from a Muslim country) have a very nuanced view on same-sex marriage. Most support it’s legality because they view white Americans as belonging to a distinct culture that isn’t subject to Islamic law. But in their own community it’s completely unacceptable: https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/28/us/lgbt-muslims-pride-progres....

Thus there is a big difference for most Muslims between equal rights, non-discrimination protections, etc., and anything that would require their personal involvement.

Neither do I. Was too naive...
Solar and wind are not and likely will never be "wholly up to the task" unless you install about 4X as much as you need, which is quite the tall order and certainly changes the numbers. You might say "solar is cheaper per MW than fission" but someone planning your local grid sees "I need to setup 4X the solar MW that I do fission, and I need a battery solution as well" and the numbers look very different.

A great example is Germany over the past year had uncharacteristically low wind for months and months on end, dropping power generation by as much as 30% for the year from that source.

The result? They burned A LOT of gas and coal. A LOT.

The reality is that power use doesn't necessarily follow the sun or the wind, and so buildouts of those technologies need to be done at extreme multiples of baseline need to account for entire seasons of low output (or just burn hydrocarbons...). You have to build your wind and solar to support a hypothetical 10 or 50 year minimum production, and just overproduce at all times.

This is why baseload nuclear generation will remain a fantastic choice for nations for decades to come, even at a higher price. Nuclear runs at night. It runs when the wind is still. It runs and runs and run no matter what, providing consistent and predictable power. For every MW generated by nuclear, you need about 4 produced by solar/wind, to achieve the same up-time and reliability.

And that's before we discuss the ecological concerns of one tiny little nuclear facility versus dozens of square kilometers of solar/battery builds out to match it.

If our society abandons fission in favor of solar/wind only, it will be to our detriment

You have that backwards.

The bad thing about fusion is that the power has to radiate through the surface of the reactor. That means that when you are at the engineering limit of what that wall can withstand, your volumetric power density decreases as you make the reactor larger.

This is unlike a fission reactor, where heat is transferred through the surfaces of large numbers of thin fuel pins, and where the surface area increases in proportion to the volume of the core.
Stupid question here but why will it take China years to prepare? Taiwan is a relatively small Island, surely China is more than capable already?
As a US Army 19k (m1a1 crewman) stationed in Germany in the 80’s and 90’s, this is the fight we trained for incessantly. A horde of then soviet armor; we had A10s, Apaches, javelins, all that built just for this. No sane person courts war, but as old tanker I’m kinda sad it went to the Ukrainians, and not us.
> Whatever you may think of the vaccine mandates and other Covid restrictions, I hope we can’t all agree that freezing assets without a court order to break the will of the protesters is an overreach.

That power is part of emergency authorizations, which have been given by the parliament to the executive precisely for the event that a situation is a severe threat to the stability of the nation.

> Long term this is going to make for a lot of crypto enthusiasm.

Highly doubt that, for a number of reasons:

- Crypto is showing right now with the price collapse as a reaction to the Ukraine invasion that it is not suitable as any kind of long-term storage

- people are growing skeptical about the ecological and economical impact of crypto coins. Just look at all the supply shortages for everything (CPUs, GPUs, RAM chips, even bulk storage) - people are sick of not being able to buy parts just because of cryptominers outmatching the market price. And the final nail in the coffin of public interest in crypto (other than NFTs, which were mostly celebrity-driven) were the news of people buying up coal plants to mine coins.

- the inevitable NFT crash will lead to a lot of people being burned off of crypto for a very long time - and without people to trade crypto with, the coins become effectively worthless.

- fundamentally, cryptocurrencies will always have to be converted back to fiat money at some point. And that's where the flow of money can be stopped at will of the government again.

Sure. It's not gonna move the needle in terms of what kind of boat he can afford personally. As a person, he already can have anything he wants, so I, too, doubt that there would be any motivation in that regard.

My question is rather: Could such a strategy be used at a scale large enough to matter on a geopolitical scale. Could such schemes become, in other words, a "second income stream" for dictators that they can use to keep themselves in power, or to strenghten their countries' economical situation?

This is all assuming you share an underlying rational with the leader of Russia, which you don't. Putin obviously doesn't care about having a good economy or making life better for the average Russian. He cares about making himself look strong and maintaining power, and showing strength. In the long run Russia is going to hurt over this, but that's not what Putin cares about.
