When plants are usually cut, it emits a certain chemical as a warning stressor to communicate to other plants, who on a very slow time frame are just as capable of perceiving stressors and able to adjust their exposure to nutrients and sunlight in a matter very similar to animals.

Yet because it is difficult to attach anthropomorphic qualities to it you are free to farm, destroy and eat, whom by all definition just as sentient as the mammals you describe.

As I suspected there's nothing really to be gained here, if you do not understand the spirit of what is meant, that you were simply trying to bate me into an endless argument in an endless circle.

The botanical classification doesn’t matter - coconut oil is primarily saturated fat which is what makes it better for you over the PUFA that comes from seed oils.
> social structures in plants. Particularly fungi.

FYI, fungi aren't plants, they are part of their own eukaryotic kingdom, and are more closely related to animals than plants.

We also usually only eat the fruit of the fungi, which we call mushrooms. The main part of the fungi lives under ground and is called the mycelium.
That i not an example of subordinate disobedience in the face of a clear retaliatory order. From the article

> Unlike the other submarines in the flotilla, three officers on board B-59 had to agree unanimously to authorize a nuclear launch: Captain Savitsky, the political officer Ivan Semonovich Maslennikov, and the chief of staff of the flotilla (and executive officer of B-59) Arkhipov.

Arkhipov had authority to veto the order. What's more, the captain was assuming war had begun and had no order from above to attack.
Hey, world, this war is not about Ukraine

I really like this explanation! It's definitely helpful to see this sort of abstract math idea brought down to super concrete terms. Although I did have a bit of confusion around the "./behave_differently.sh ./my_program.sh ./my_input.txt" part - I expected another layer of concreteness so I was looking for actual outputs (which I realize isn't the point - my_program.sh is supposed to be anything/everything).

Other than that though this is a great piece! Short, decently written, and with a good focus but a lot of hints at further things to explore.

I guess I'm also not sure about the conclusion - feels a bit like the author's pet issue on how we should teach things, and I feel like that sort of discussion is separate from the article's main focus. I'm more a fan of "here's A different pov on this topic" than "here's THE pov we should teach for this topic"
Reminder to people who didn't grow up in the US: Americans are by and large a bloodthirsty, vindictive lot and pay an astounding amount of attention to who their friends are. This is sometimes a force for evil, sometimes a force for good, but it is what it is.

Sure, don't take legal advice from me. Use a VPN.
Um, no. It is the democratization, that ticks Russia off. Regardless of EU and US involvement, Russian leadership cannot tolerate a culturally similar country doing better. This would provoke so many questions: how come they get to change their leadership frequently and, apparently, this does not end in disaster? How come their oligarchy does not run rampant? Also, since this is a repeated pattern from Hungary and Czechoslovakia (county makes decisions Moscow does not like, Moscow sends tanks), who provoked them then? By the logic of the author, every move of every country defending themselves or making any decision against the interests of Moscow can be seen as provocation and thus condemned. That’s not realpolitik, that’s just plain old propaganda of the world order, where one or maybe two superpowers have a say and everyone else stays put. That world is gone.
For sure, sanctions are a double-edged source. It sends a signal that they will be on the list. And, that is not a problem if the US was an impartial candidate, but it isn't. It does everything for its greed, not for humanitarian reasons. China and Muslims were no problem to them as long as US and West could exploit them. Currently, India is developing and I have aforethought that the US will surely take "swift" action like they are doing with China.

And let's not get started on BRI projects. People always forget they should look at the reasons why Africa is still poor today. They should check for IRS policy and its impact on politics. US and West have no interest in development in Africa. But, when China goes to Africa makes good roads, the US starts to have a problem. If the US is so altruistic, why don't they go to Africa and develop their continent? I think the US just wants them to be poor so, it can enjoy its hegemony forever.

Russia never ceases to amaze me even after spending half of my life living there. Its massive territory extends over 8 times zones stretching over 2 continents and it has historically been incapable of governing most of it. Everything outside of Moscow and Saint Petersburg (and a few other bigger cities) is often neglected and in constant state of poverty. Geopolitical stuff aside, this incessant need to have more land and more control when you can't even deal with the shit you already have is just baffling.

I know that in the mid-20th century, in at least some cities, when the governments cleared African-American neighborhoods for freeways, white developments, etc., there were some promises but mostly people were left high and dry. Also, remember that black people couldn't get loans- direct policy of the Federal government and New Deal - or even decent-paying jobs (or an education to get jobs ...), so they didn't own the properties where they lived (they rented) and wouldn't have received that compensation.
Jury nullification.

The idea is that a jury is allowed to make its decision without any outside interference. A jury can acquit a person even it they think the person is guilty. Thus a jury could give you a fee pass on hacking Russian systems, but you'd be relying on them to realise that and then think the moral reasons for acquittal out weigh the legal reasons for conviction.

Obviously courts don't like jury nullification try to prevent it, without harming a juries independence.

So possibly not a good idea to rely on jury nullification as your get out of jail free card.
This isn't true. You can certainly be prosecuted for committing crimes against enemies of the state. There's a reason we distinguish between law enforcement officials and civilians. Blur that line and things can get nasty.

Those government-run reserves always seem a bit silly to me. There's nothing special about the reserving business that normal private sector companies can't do.

Don't worry, until now EU member states were blissfully ignoring or putting their NATO obligations on the back burner. Hence the prodigious dependency on Russian gas. Also, the greens hold considerable sway in large parts of Western Europe and the Nordic countries, so nuclear became a dirty word.

I think this debacle will jolt the the EU members' leadership out of its complacency, and there will be a renewed focus on European Security, now that Macron's deal-brokering has clearly failed.

Which country is going nuclear free? I hope it's not France, because I thought they are the leaders in nuclear energy.

Far from it. News media might be, but rogue social media apps like Telegram and WhatsApp are used frequently, and are outside Russia's control.

That's not the case, based on the reports I've seen. What have you seen that supports that?
Evidence isn’t just saying something. If that’s the standard your journo friends have for evidence I’m unsurprised that you are impressed by them.

But fine, I can do equivalent evidence: Journalists claimed it required 7/8ths to overturn. They were, of course, wrong. Because they were just reporting based off each other. There’s your equivalent “evidence”, I suppose.

I’m kidding, I can do better. Behold, https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/11/17/uber-ly...

> Prop 22 sought to invalidate AB5′s impact on Uber and Lyft drivers, and it included a provision saying a seven-eighths legislative supermajority would be required to overturn it. Its passage effectively rendered AB5 moot.

Now, you can ask your journo friends (who are 4-year-college-trained experts at separating truth from fiction) what’s wrong with this. Compare with bill text as an exercise, if you’d like. Should be easy for the master truth seekers.

That naive geography positioning reasoning is far from reality. From that point of view Belorussia is more valuable.

That "Mystery of Russian Soul" lies among the lines of "Kiev - mother of Russian cities" (term of 12th century Primary Chronicle) and too many other historical facts. Like Wild Steppe (south of Ukraine) were fought for and liberated from Crimean Khanate by Russian Army. Modern Kherson, Nikolayev, Sevastopol, and Ekaterinoslav(Dnipro/Dnepropetrovsk), were established by Gregory Potemkin (Empress Catherine times) and populated by peasants from Russian heartlands - Tambov, Ryazan, Pskov, etc.

All that is well known and well remembered facts by Russian public. So we should not expect that Russian people will be so against all that. If in doubt then see the above.
As a maybe philosophical zombie, I would like to know more about these attempts you are mentioning.
There is no guarantee. There is really no one that could even make such a guarantee. Opinions of DOJ change with administrations. The president could issue a pardon after the fact. Congress could make a law. Perhaps the executive could find some loophole to deputize people into US Cybercom but that would likely make them a lawful combatants which has other entanglements.

> So, apparently the reason neon comes from Ukraine is some pretty smart Ukrainians wanted it that way, for the good of Ukraine, and specifically for Ukrainian sovereignty to matter to the rest of the world.

Nope. See the other comments here, that explain that the Soviet Union overinvested in this technology because they wanted to build weapons with it.

It would probably have been better for the people of the Soviet Union (or Ukraine now) to have invested these billions into something else, or even just consumed them.

Quote from the article:

If you're not Ukrainian, I guess the request is not aimed at you. Probably exactly for the reasons you mention. And if you were, the request is to fill in the form, not to go rogue.

Many cite the project in question as something they understand better, that helps them manage systems better, and it has contributions from more than a thousand people.

If I were going to sabotage Debian, I'd arrange for them to make a collective decision where they can't just say "let's do both"; evidence suggests that's worth at least a decade of infighting, and requires a relatively small group of folks committed to demanding support for their niche. Or, alternatively, I'd arrange for Debian to make enough "do all the things" decisions that its maintainers collapse under the weight of what they're collectively demanded to support.
I don't think so. Middle east war, Afghan war never brought any peace. Instead it backfired. So, I really don't like such platitudes.

> Although it certainly isn’t a consensus opinion there is a real possibility that (given that the nervous system specialises what normal tissues can also do) plants are considerably more “conscious” than we give them credit for.

Yes, that is a possibility, but it's also an entirely ridiculous argument to make to argue against veganism. If you want to argue that the nervous system is just a more specialized version of other tissue and consciousness could therefore, in principal, arise in any kind of organic matter, or inorganic matter even, then one obviously can't prove that statement wrong, but it also seems to entirely miss the point given our current scientific understanding. Obviously humans cannot live in a way that completely avoids any (theoretical) harm to our environment, but veganism is by far the dietary choice that minimizes suffering in this world (though there do exist differences in the kind of vegan diet with regards to its environmental impact).
