I beg your pardon? Eastern Europe is eternally grateful to the US that they won the cold war allowing them to break free from the Big Bear. Nations comprising 100+ million people from Estonia to Bulgaria are living their golden ages right now, because of US.
Some of the exchanges have debit cards--

They convert cryptocurrency to "fiat" during the purchase so it's not really what you want per se. I've heard crypto compared to gold in that most holders wouldn't buy goods/services with it directly but it somehow has value anyway. Obviously it doesn't have the same thousands year history as gold.

Yes (POWER9+, I think), but also 128-bit "IBM" format. Transitioning to an IEEE ABI for ppc64le GNU/Linux has caused some pain in GCC and elsewhere recently. (I don't know how software long double is typically compiled and how fast the results are.)

> it’s nuts not to just pay the cheap toll

If I have 100 devs that's $12,000/year (ignoring any bulk discount), right?
Are you saying that in a company with 100 developers they cannot spare enough time to run their own server cheaper than that?

Additionally, while the amount is 'cheap' in the isolated sense, when you start adding all those 'cheap' services together they quickly add up and suddenly your per-dev costs start getting out of control. In all cases you should consider the value of the service being provided. While I love ngrok, the functionality can easily be replaced for most use cases and move you from a per-dev cost to a relatively (yeah, large numbers of users will cause server scaling/cost changes) fixed cost instead.

Edit:
Just to add on, $10/month is more than I pay for Gsuite or Jira on a per dev basis. The Ngrok pricing is drastically off base IMHO.
On the contrary, the older and more experienced I get, the more I realize just how poorly organizations make decisions. Especially in tech/software. This is the norm. Exceptional engineering is rare.

>We can likely build out storage faster than NPPs

First, this is yet to be determined. Even assuming it is true, which I'm not sure it is, The problem is not limited to storage - you also need massive transmission system upgrades that will cost on the same order of magnitude as an Apollo program. I think in the long term it should certainly be done, but pretending that the cost of solar and wind power is the cost of solar panels, or even the cost of solar panels + storage is not comparing apples to apples.
I understand the term better thanks to your contextualization, thanks. Some online definitions indeed cite "recklessness due to despair" along with despair itself being a subjective "complete loss of hope" (despair's definition). So I can see the writing as trying to highlight the idea of making a "blind" effort through something that seems entirely lost and turning that into a driving force going forward.
If the connector on the left represents the output of a generic power supply then I still don't see how you would connect this on the laptop side.

EDIT: On further thought I think that connector must be intended to represent the laptop input and Vcc is the output of a generic power supply (with sufficient voltage and current capacity). It was not clear to me because my Dell laptop doesn't appear to have a 3-pin power connector so maybe this only applies to certain models.

Here is what Trump said. He very clearly praised Putin's invasion.

We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it.

I think it's in NATO's interest to believe in this steadfastly, but my imagination says that there are other scenarios. It's a gamble, but the best way to damage NATO is to make an ambiguous or small attack that makes it not invoke article 5 or to not respond properly.

My imagination says: as soon as new facts are established (let's say blitz invation of a city), you are tempted to not respond because you don't want to start a world war. Of course this fails the overarching theory (MAD, tit for tat etc), but I wouldn't think it's impossible. Maybe for example USA would say it wants to respond with sanctions to avoid a larger war.
It's particularly weird since Australia was founded in 1901.

Before that the states were independent nations with their own militaries, collected their own taxes, had border controls between them etc.

So how are they tracing it back? The states still have their own democracies to this day but I don't think you can call that Australia's democracy.

> Frequently autocracies invade democracies because autocracies are inherently unstable

Simply not true. Ask north korea, cuba, etc. No democracy could withstand an enemy 1000X its size attacking it. Can you imagine the US withstanding an enemy 1000X stronger than us? Not a chance.

> need frequent propping up of internal support by fake "injections of popularity", such as war.

Historically, it's usually the other way around. Democracies have invaded "autocracies". In the past 100 years, most of the invasions have been by democracies ( predominantly the US and our allies ) against other nations.

Actually, "protecting democracy" was propaganda we used to get involved in ww1 against the wish of the american people. And it hasn't stopped since. In the name of "democracy" we've invaded dozens of countries and set ourselves a nice little empire.

That democracy is a good is modern propaganda. Go read up on what the founders wrote about democracy. Go read about what Socrates did. Most intelligent people throughout history have not been fans of democracy. For a good reason, the greatest genocides in history have been committed by democracies. Just think about it.

don't you think a tag system would require even more discipline?

what do you think happens if you make a mistake with your tags and/or there are typos in the filename? With a directory structure, you can navigate to the location and see the list of items to quickly identify what you were looking for. It is far more forgiving when it comes to poor organisation or mistakes. With a pure tag system, a file with the wrong name/tags is pretty much forever lost.

> you'd need to prevent the people you're granting the license to from changing it in derivative works

No you don't need to. People cannot change the license of code they don't own nilly-willy, only the owner(s) of code can (which can get hairy when a codebase has multiple owners).

However a license can allow sublicensing, aka sharing the code or software under a different license, but this right must be explicitly granted by the license (or by the code owner directly), and they may be conditions attached (such as attribution)

MIT:

"[...] Permission is hereby granted,[...] to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, [...] subject to the following conditions:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all
copies or substantial portions of the Software."

GPL:

"[...] You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License."

So the MIT license grants you the right to redistribute the code under GPL (under attribution condition), but GPL does not grant you the right to redistribute the code under MIT.

(Note that all of this applies to redistributing the code or the software, not about your own internal use of the code or the software)
> A lot of Russians support the separatists and are glad to see the military step in.

That doesn't really matter though, what matters is that they are there illegally. A lot of Germans supported the invasion of Poland as well to gain some 'lebensraum'. That did not make them right.

> If you’re completely confused at why Putin is doing this and the best reason you can come up with is that he’s evil and stupid and just wants destruction, it’s only because you don’t understand the situation.

I'm not confused at all. But it appears that you are given your alternative history regarding Donbas.

Putin has a country that is imploding, and if he doesn't find a way to make it seem as though he is a powerful leader then he may be out of leadership position soon. Him starting this war is an act of desperation: nothing to lose and everything to gain because whatever he stands to lose he would have lost anyway.
> I don't believe the US would immediately attack Russia even if Russia wiped Paris off the map, because doing so would guarantee we are all wiped off the map.

France also has nuclear weapons, estimated as the fourth largest stockpile in the world. Even if the rest of NATO were to hesitate Moscow would already have been hit unilaterally by the french in retaliation. No one is going to fold here.
In the simplest terms:

Gene expression constantly changes. It's a field known as epigenetics.

You have tons of genes, not all of which are constantly active.

You have histones in your DNA that allow certain portions to be read while others are locked away. This changes how your genes activate.
I'm guessing that's true for Windows, but I've had the opposite experience on Linux (for graphics, not computation).

On Linux, I'm sometimes bitten by the fact that nVidia's closed-source drivers might not work well with a certain kernel version. And IIUC their closed-source nature has also slowed down nVidia-Wayland compatibility.

On the other hand, I fear that now that HDMI specs are closed, AMD's open-source drivers might never be capable of 4k@120Hz via HDMI. (IIUC, that is.)
All micros require separate hardware to flash it, no? Some is cheap (stlink), some are a few hundred dollars, but still.

In mice. Let's temper the usual nutritional conspiracy allegations and grand proclamations of effects on humans until someone trained and knowledgable provides an interpretation of this study. Most of these rodent studies end up not being applicable to humans anyway.
That's the wrong perspective. You have to remember that even at the height of the cold war, the Soviet Union was still providing gas to Europe. This has always been the arrangement. Ukraine stopping gas is not denying Russia income. It's denying Europe a critical resource.

I don't understand why people use the attiny85... The Atmega328 based boards have far wider software support in the arduino ecosystem, so you will typically be able to prototype a project in minutes instead of hours, and the dev boards cost the same, but the 328 ones have more of pretty much everything.

The only benefit of the attiny seems to be that you can save a few millimeters of board space, but if that's your concern there are plenty of far smaller, cheaper and more capable microcontrollers in BGA packages.

> Windows clearly doesn't want people to GET to their home directory, for some reason. That seems goofy. If people don't understand that $user contains the rest of those folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc) they'll never be able to navigate on their own. That's bad.

Yes. Windows prevents users nowadays from understanding a straightforward thing, file-systems. I mean it was always a bit clumsy with A:, C: and [D-Z]: and the weird desktop metaphor harmed as well.

Now I'm looking at the often criticized GNOME and the actually venerable Nautilus. They got it! All below / and in addition devices are directly usable (actually still somewhere below /run). The location bar reflects the current position. The desktop was removed because it never fit into a computer and the file system.

Some actions of Google within Chrome are also questionable. "There is not address entry field" because we don't want you to understand how the web is structured. What? File-Systems are a simple thing, hierarchical. And guess what, the web is similar. Compared to "right click", "double click" and it's new friends "long press", "hard press" and "swipe from somewhere" and "guess what the voice assistant can interpret".
Yes, you would revoke them as soon as you realize, but until you realize (and practically there's generally a delta there for a successful attack) in public key schemes of 2FA the attacker doesn't have enough to login as those users since they only have those user's public keys. For TOTP they very well might have everything they need for weak passwords.

If you can trend towards public key based schemes there's real benefits from the IDPs prespective. Yes TOTP wasn't designed to help here, but from the IDP's perspective that just means that you should gently shift users to 2FA schemes that do provide those semantics. And U2F/FIFO is not the only other option here, just the only one that can be implemented totally in browser for the client. Duo's phone push notifications are public key crypto under the hood for one example.
There's another way to look at this: Putin is a rational, risk-averse actor who only engages in territory acquisition when he can encircle the target and guarantee a win in days during winter (because spring and fall are too muddy for vehicles). Crimea follows this pattern: Russia has a navy in the Black Sea and Sea of Azoz.

Seems from the article that soybean oil contributes to making people obese and unhappy.
Completely agree with that. Belarus has already joined its armed forces with Russia and they are de facto part of Russia today, even if it is not in a formal way (yet), and exactly the same will happen to Ukraine after the consolidation you mention.
I'm pretty sure also that there will be some consolidation in NATO too. My bet would be on Finland joining formally NATO in the near future. Finland was already invaded by Russia in WW2 during which they managed to seize the Karelia territory of Finland, which is still in Russia today.
But there are other countries which are probably wondering what will happen to them in the next few years: Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Armenia...
So maybe the best asnwer to Russia would be to expand NATO quickly to the ones wanting to join in.

I don't know where the puppet masters and the narratives came in, you were the one bringing this bullshit in here, I didn't see any Russians. Where you got your ideas only you know.

> The fact that Russia says it’s true is not a good reason why it cannot be true.

I read it in Pravda. What's written there must be true, right? Just like they wrote last week: Russia will not invade Ukraine, so therefore I am right now hallucinating.

> This has been going on for 8 years and we had peace and stable lines for the last 4. What changed?

Russia went to war. And there was maybe peace in your book but for the people in Ukraine there wasn't peace and now there won't be for a much longer time.
There is and there could have been democracy and prosperity like in ALL, ALL of ex-soviet states that joined NATO and EU. All of those countries make Russia look like a shithole.
That's what got Putin so enraged.

NATO is a security guarantee without which there can be no foreign investment in this part of the world.

That title though. Why does the UoC feel the need to use clickbait titles?

I guess it becomes a mouthful when it is "America's most consumed cooking oil, which is soybean oil, causes genetic changes in the brain."

But my first though is ... I've never bought soybean oil afaik. Is soybean oil vegetable oil? Because I buy vegetable oil.

Ah clarification later in the post "Additionally, the team notes the findings only apply to soybean oil — not to other soy products or to other vegetable oils."

The difficult part is that most of the things I consume that use soybean oil I don't have a choice in what oil they used. Sure I can not eat those chicken nuggets but the easier solution would be to change the manufacturing process to use something better right?
