Totally agree. Nuclear war is something completely different. There is nothing to come back to.

Resource scarcity would turn things violent really quickly for the survivors.
But she is anti-nuclear which IMO is very naive and unrealistic
I don't fully understand it myself, because if you have a copy of the work (e.g. purchased copy of some proprietary software) the entity which distributed that to you was the copyright-holding purveyor. They did the copying, using their reserved right to do so.

No matter what yo udo with the copyrighted work, if you're not copying it, you're not infringing on copyright. The idea that your right to have a copy can lapse due to violating the EULA has holes in it, because copyright isn't about the right to have a copy, but about the right to produce and redistribute copies.

For instance, on a bit of a tangent here, if you steal a book out of someone's backpack, that is not copyright infringement, and cannot be. You didn't copy anything.

The proprietary EULA wants the law to believe that you're stealing if you continue to use the software after violating the agreement. But without connecting that to the concept of copyright infringement, the accusation has no basis, since you're just using what you paid for it.

Disassembling a binary executable to understand it is exactly the same as reading a book to understand it. Copyright is made for books and such.
Well, it's not really an "if".

But, clearly YT's assessment is that the harm of a "bad" video being served on their platform greatly outweighs the harm of incorrect takedowns (which can be appealed). I will call this "The Principle Of Can't Unsee."
When the kremlin is involved, mind-reading isn’t, historically, much of a deviation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlinology#Techniques:

“During the Cold War, lack of reliable information about the country forced Western analysts to "read between the lines" and to use the tiniest tidbits, such as the removal of portraits, the rearranging of chairs, positions at the reviewing stand for parades in Red Square, the choice of capital or small initial letters in phrases such as "First Secretary", the arrangement of articles on the pages of the party newspaper Pravda and other indirect signs to try to understand what was happening in internal Soviet politics.

To study the relations between Communist fraternal states, Kremlinologists compared the statements issued by the respective national Communist parties, looking for omissions and discrepancies in the ordering of objectives. The description of state visits in the Communist press were also scrutinized, as well as the degree of hospitality lent to dignitaries. Kremlinology also emphasized ritual, in that it noticed and ascribed meaning to the unusual absence of a policy statement on a certain anniversary or holiday.[10]

In the German language, such attempts acquired the somewhat derisive name "Kreml-Astrologie" (Kremlin Astrology), hinting at the fact that its results were often vague and inconclusive, if not outright wrong.”

>7. If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States.
Nice. You’ve just inspired me to write an email just about five minutes ago to a CEO.
This is an empty threat from Putin, he may be close to a madman but he is not stupid.

Attacking NATO will mean his removal from power, most likely by someone within his own ranks.

If Sweden or Finland wants in, then NATO should comply as fast as possible.
NATO was made for this kind of mutual defense. Unfortunately, NATO is a massive political force that can also be abused for political ends, and no country wants to commit their armed forces to be used as pawns in someone else's war.
> maybe this will be just the sort of thing that kicks of practical reasons for use of crypto

There's already practical uses for crypto for exactly the same reasons you think there will be. All those uses currently exist and people are using them for that, no SWIFT lockout needed.
No it doesn't, but at some point you have to consider the possibility that Putin isn't sane or rational in the way you would hope the person in charge of a major part of the world's nuclear arsenal would be.

And if he is not sane, then it would be equally insane for the west to keep giving into his demands, given that we cannot then expect him to stop making them at any foreseeable point.

No one "wants" WW3, much like no one "wanted" WW2 or WW1. But history has proven time and time again that simply backing away doesn't _necessarily_ reduce the chances that the war will occur.

I am very, very curious how this is causing western intelligence agencies to update their analyses of Putin's psyche.
Sure - if you pick an investing conglomerate like berkshire, evaluation is still hard.

It's less difficult (although still not a breeze) for companies like Tyson, John Deere, Cargill, etc. If you pick a major manufacturing company near you, that's producing non-luxury goods or essential goods, you can expect to have a reasonable idea of how they'll hold their value in adverse market conditions.

I want to be really clear - I'm assuming ALL of the advice in this article is "disaster planning" advice. It's not going to maximize returns, but it can give you ownership of an asset that is likely to survive things like rapid inflation, or other unexpected series of events.

Maximizing returns is often counter to this idea - because it almost always implies taking on additional risk, which is not ideal for disaster scenarios.
True. But it's relative. Even if Russia get 75% of the market price, that's still a solid buck. And since they can control the chaos, they can manipulate price.

So if everyone loses, not just Russia, and relatively The West has more to lose, where is the pain for Russia?
This is not a world war. The fighting is specific to a single area.

The Vietnam War involved at least double the number of involved countries and wasn’t considered a world war.

The resources that nation states have are going to always trump what private corporations and socially organized random citizens. Anonymous is not going to be able to pull off hacks against industrial control systems. Those are the hacks that are going to make differences. Things like the Ukraine power grid hack [0] from 2015 or the hack of a dam in suburbs of New York [1] are the cyber attacks that are going to make a difference in times like these and those don't happen without a lot of planning and resources. Defacing government websites or even DDOSing those same sites is not going to make a big difference (or potentially make any difference).

Potential police state. The only reason it's not a total nightmare here is I'm sure the police are so underfunded that they couldn't take advantage of all this bullsh!t, even if they wanted to.

This is effective "police state virtue signalling" to its hardcore supporters. Red meat to the dogs. It won't actually mean anything in practice.

_Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain_ is actually one of the best places to start. I know you said you tried it. But try it this way: Ignore all the theory and the stories the author tells. It’s mostly nonsense. But the exercises are actually very good. The trick is to not care about the result and about making progress. I know, that sounds crazy. But it’s true.

Just do it.

Go through reams of cheap paper. Happily throw most of the drawings away. Draw anything and everything. Fall in love with nothing. It’s like practicing scales for a musician. If you get a good drawing every now and then, then cool. If not, don’t worry about it.

It’s gonna take some time.

Be prepared to adjust your expectations as to what a good drawing is. It will change, drastically, over time. The way you draw will emerge rather than be something you develop or manage. Frustrating, I know. But the basics have to develop organically, like learning to talk.

Learning to draw is much more about learning to see than making marks. You think you can see things, but what you are really doing is recognizing things. Any normal adult has the motor skills to make a controlled mark. But we don’t know how to make a mark that the brain will read as something. If it was just a matter of reproducing something that’s in front of you, then tracing would work. But nearly all tracings suck as drawings.

Having said all that, start reading anything you can find on the subject. Be prepared to ignore most of it. You are finding your own path.

You can look through my history on ycombinator more discussion and to to see lists of books that are worth your time. But look on your own too. If you find anything new and different, please share.

As far as goals, they are great things to have. But expect them to change and evolve. Why shouldn’t they. As you get better, your tastes will change. Things you saw that seemed wonderful, may suddenly be full of flaws. Things you disdained may suddenly reveal their secret appeal.

It’s an adventure as well as a skill. And the learning never stops. I’m in my 60s and have been drawing seriously since my early teens.

I’m just getting started.

Would defending Ukraine with US soldiers be good for the US? Absolutely not. The best outcome for the US is if Ukraine turns into a Vietnam for Russia for the next couple decades, with high casualties for the Russians and high casualties among Ukrainian civilians to keep the whole world strongly against Russia.

That doesn't make it right, though. The right thing to do is to help other people even when it doesn't benefit you.
Generally when "[economic] sanctions or similar are in place against you" it's because the people who imposed the sanctions are physically unable to jail you. Or beat you with a wrench.

The tech doesn't change the policy or the law, but it does change their consequences in the real world. Fortunately it is not yet the case that the US shells every country whose citizens do business with entities it imposes sanctions on, although the US does shell a lot of countries, and it can be challenging to identify even which country a Bitcoin transaction originates from.

What's your source for "Russia is exploring crypto for transfers if they get knocked off of SWIFT"? I assume you mean cryptocurrencies of some kind, because obviously SWIFT, СПФС, and CIPS all use cryptography, so that would be too obvious to mention. Right now I think Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with enough trading volume to handle Russia's foreign exchange needs; I don't think that's likely to happen in the next two years, though, if it ever happens at all.

If it did happen, though, it would put an end to the concerns that Bitcoin could collapse at any moment like a Ponzi scheme.

I think that you misunderstood their relationship. It is less 'billionaires backing him' and more 'billionares who are obedient to him, so they do not end with poisoned briefs'.
5 Methods to Land a Technical Product Manager Role (Without Experience)
Letting him threaten and invade any country he wants because he doesn't want said country to do something that isn't in accordance with his will doesn't seem like a good idea either.
Well, if Russia didn't act like a total asshole towards all their neighbors then maybe some of them would like to be their allies. The fact that Baltic states or Ukraine prefer to side with a "well known aggressor" instead of their "Slavic brothers" from Russia really tells you everything. Putin has no one to blame for that but himself.
Very cool. I wonder if you could turn something like this into the ultimate keyboard synth. That would be one hell of a product.
Fossil fish reveal timing of asteroid that killed the dinosaurs
Honestly, I think if you had resources you would eventually run into someone who would use violence to take those resources and the last line in your post is exactly what would happen.
From my first-hand experience of being under sanctions, they do the opposite.

In 2015 Visa and MasterCard banned all transactions in Crimea. It hit hardest the people who were naturally the least loyal to Putin - the upper middle class, IT professionals, and everyone who relied on receiving international payments. I don't know anyone who has changed their opinion about Putin to worse as the result, but a lot of people, myself included, changed their attitude towards West to worse. And even if sanctions will result in the fall of the regime eventually, you can be sure they will be remembered as a hostile action.
> Yakuza (Japanese mobsters) often are the first ones on the scene, and seem to take pleasure at beating the government response.

That's what mobs do. If you take the protection out of a protection racket, you end with an empty organization and people asking why they should pay you if they'll get beaten either way.
It never was any different, in my experience. But I've also experienced far worse. In the USA for instance.
Erm, no. I would love to be able to stop using "webkit-" or whatever in my CSS because everyone quit using Safari.
You mean so far you've lived a peaceful life and were skeptical of joining NATO but now that you've seen what Russia did to Ukraine, you're tempted to share their fate?
> the powers that be

I think the powers that be are the ones who are resisting intervening or even bearing their teeth ~ because in reality, they'd rather just go back to trading with or at least ignoring Russia.

So much so that they'd far sooner appear indecisive and capricious, avoid direct involvement, and have scope to return to the status quo (regardless of the blood being spilled) as quickly as possible, never mind what happens to Ukraine.
Yep, I’ve read a little here and there on multi threading but haven’t actually tried it out. I’ll look more into it later in the day.

I’ll definitely try it out using some http library and see if that works with the url shortening and all.

30-50k is just the excess mortality in winter months. Further in the article they estimate the number of people who die whilst having difficulty paying for heating to be 3k, and even that is only a correlation - poorer people die earlier for many different reasons

Russia shouldn't be allowed to force decisions like this on any country. Let them join.

We kicked the can down the road with Ukraine and look where that landed Ukraine. 2008 and 2014 we gave in and allowed Russia to do what they wanted. 2022 and Western countries are allowing it again. Its despicable. I don't want war. I don't want to go to war. But when someone approaches you and says "I own you" you either fight back or give in to being owned. Ukraine is facing that decision now, and they're fighting back. We should be doing more to help Ukraine. Other countries will face the same fate eventually if we don't put a stop to it now. Our responses since 2008 have failed in the long term. We need to do something different.

I don't claim to have the right answer. I don't want to send our troops off to die. I don't want to get nuked or have to nuke anyone. But I honestly feel sick to my stomach right now over this. I know this isn't the only atrocity to occur without sufficient response from the Western world... but it's the one that's hit home for me for some reason.
If your apartment building gets blown up then that's the least of your problems.
There are just…I can’t even start with the sheer inanity of that quote.

First off, the First World War happened on the gold standard. Most currencies, notably the British Pound, didn’t become decoupled from gold until after WW1.

And those World Wars were enabled by technology, not fiat currency. Mass production of weaponry, rapid advancements in said weaponry, trains, fertilizer to grow more food to supply those front line…technology was far more of a driver than fractional reserve banking.

And decadence? Decadence! The Sun King would like to have a word with you about “decadence”.
If we can't even defend weak from a bully, what's the point of anything; specially when they seem to be asking for help. There are much unjustified and unasked for interventions that have been done even in the recent past. Are all our morals and ideals just for convenience.
No one in NATO has been invaded, so… isn’t that pretty much the desired outcome for our military?

It’s a damn shame what’s happening in Ukraine and I am certainly donating to relief efforts and rooting them on and feeling heartbroken watching the men go off to war but the idea we should put boots on the ground against Russia when our doctrine is still MAD seems nuts to me.
*largest in Europe (I am going to guess that was the intention)

But I agree with your skepticism, the world has unfortunately seen plenty of larger wars, mainly we've just had a short peaceful spell lately, and it's an unpleasant shock to stumble into another.
Good response I will concede that lithium seems our best bet given the current situation but I think ICE cars still have lot of room for CO2 reduction. While we are on topic of cars, I would slap additional environmental tax for old classic cars or straight piped V8, V10, V12. One does not need so many cylinders to get from point A to B.
It's definitely questionable to call entire people groups "high-quality" and "low-quality"...

I think they were just speaking very abruptly. But a different phrase would be better.
Thanks a lot for this! actix-web is an amazing framework so far. I've started with the book zero2prod in rust, and using some type driven designed, rust's errors handling, actix-web's extractors and web::data feels like super good ergonomics.

I do feel like the docs could be expanded a bit more, I got stuck when trying to write a middleware for example.

Congrats for the release!

This obviously has nothing to do with finances and everything to do with the fact that no one wants soldiers of two nuclear powers shooting guns at each other. This is the actual logic of nuclear weapons, and there is no going back to the world as it was before they existed.
He is entirely rational, it has been known since forever that Ukraine is the brightest of red lines and that Russia would respond in this way. You can’t pin this on crazy, pretty much anyone else from the Russian elite would have done the same thing.

Given that the CIA predicted this back in 2008 I would image there would be no change to their assessment.
Too add one more thing to think about: If we agree on the brutal realism of humanities selfishness and us vs them mentality. Consider why Europe has let in so many low skilled immigrants, when in theory many of these low skilled jobs may be replaced by automation in the coming years. My only guess for why this is is that Europe perceives automation to be farther away and requires stop gaps, although this still would not fix the root issue of below replacement rate births, and I'm not sure if automation would either.
