Perfect understanding can not be achieved yes also defining what is ideal consent is hard and arbitrary, that shouldn't mean we abandon any hope of improving current state of consent which is not effective.

To improve informed consent say for trading[1], a basic training course required by SEC on risks and options would go long way for a lot of people to understand how derivatives work before allowing them to open account in Robinhood style apps, this could be even be extended for crypto and NFTs. It could be limits based rather than hard blocks. Schools could include such material to educate kids.

Speculating and losing money in today's gamified simple UX apps like Robinhood is attracting a ton of people who cannot afford to loose their money and don't really understand the basics of the market, it wasn't a problem when you had to go through a broker who would advise you a bit or use high end Bloomberg terminal . The next market correction/crash is going to be very painful for many people who cannot afford to loose that money.

As a general answer: As far as I know, there is currently no exact scientific method to measure and determine the age of a person.

Certain techniques can give more or less rough estimates, however a precise technique that works for all age groups is tricky.

The following article is from 2014, but gives a good glance at
several existing methods and directions of research.

It should be noted, that many techniques in this area are invasive, requiring blood/tissue sampling and/or exposing a person to ionizing radiation (XRays), which makes them prohibitive in many scenarios.

That, or there shouldn't be permanent seats at all.
An above comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30452129) seems to rebuke this: "Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania are all NATO members. If Putin takes Ukraine, and redraws his borders, he's just adding 4 NATO members. Wouldn't make much sense."
He's trying to protect the russian speaking communities in Luhansk and Donetsk. There would be no point to him occupying mkre than that.

> Russian, simply can't allow more of the board, specially one part so close, to be dominated by the opponent.

Russian in fact could allow that. Whether Ukraine joins Nato should be between Ukraine internal debate and Nato internal debate. That Ukraine has both opinions present does not excuse nor explain Russian war.
You should start thinking of your own time this way. Everyone has an hourly rate, how much do you spend solving problems like this?
I don't think it is correct. Offshore wind is cost competitive with fossil fuels in the UK. However, if you include storage I believe this cost balloons significantly.

That said, there are significant grid scale batteries coming online. The largest of these in California is 1.2GWh. By comparison the UK has about 30GWh of pumped storage.

Until this morning, Putin was saying that he wasn't going to invade. Perhaps trusting Putin at his exact word is not the best idea?
Given what we have seen American citizens tolerate in the past, I expect public opinion not only to support such an invasion, but for Americans to enthusiastically participate.

In fact, some redneck militia trying to invade Canada is a common trope in US entertainment (from South Park over to The West Wing, even a whole movie exists), implying that it would be pretty easy. It's played for laughs, but it adds to the desensitisation of the public opinion about such an endeavour. Consent is manufactured.
From Hungary with deep shame because of our traitor government. There are many of us that are deeply disturbed with what is happening, and our government is not representative of all of us.
I live in Crimea. People are sad, angry, and disappointed. And fatigued. Nobody wants war, but a lot of people feel like we're screwed either way. We avoided a war in 2014, and we can probably avoid it today, but that just means it will come tomorrow. And because people don't see a good way out of the situation, it feels like, whatever happens, just let it happen fast. "A horrible end is better than endless horror".

I don't know how to explain all this to my kids. And how to keep them safe. I feel really sorry for everyone involved on all sides.
Doesn't even make sense for Putin strategically because the alliance will get consolidated by this. On the other hand there are just few diplomatic tools. They were all used up more or less.
Ask HN: Untainted International News Sources
Hi!

In times like these it is interesting to get an insight into the sentiment in other countries and cultures. Of course there are a number of non-western news outlets broadcasting in English. E.q. South China Morning Post or Russia Today. Yet, I have the strong impression (or at least the suspicion) those institutions follow a specific agenda for their English recipients which doesn't align with the picture they paint when addressing their local audience.

In Germany we have a nationwide radio station called Deutschlandfunk (DLF) which delivers an international newsreel [1]. This is about the kind if content I have in mind. Unfortunately DLF is under public law so I'm not sure if it can be considered politically neutral, particularly when it comes to picking topics. Usually topics are being selected that somehow relate to current topics in local news or are affecting German citizens. But that's not a way to see what others see.

So, my question: Do you know a source for international news that...?

- ... deliveres 1:1 translations of local news on current topics

- ... picks topics in a not very tendentious way (which I believe is hard)

You seems to see Russia as expanding, they perception, I think, it's exactly the opposite. Putin is not thinking in expanding is thinking in making an stand.

> effects of the caloric restriction protocol on the muscle mass of human subjects

Some think it's a myth. It makes sense if you think about it, the body uses a lot of energy and resources to build muscle (and tendons, and to mineralize bones) only to destroy it right away at the first intake dip, not even considering the primary source for energy storage, which is fat?

Caloric restriction burns A LOT of fat. It's why it's there in the first place.

The basic idea for the freewheeling chainring comes from tandem bikes, where one person should be able to pedal, while the second one doesn't do anything. I have never ridden a tandem bike, but this is where I got the idea.

There is also another detail, that you need to know, in order to understand how it all works.

Trial bikes (not trail bikes) usually have a special kind of drivetrain, where the freewheel is mounted on the crank and not the rear wheel. This allows for a very small rear wheel sprocket and extremely high gear ratios.

So to make this work, I used a trial bike crank [1] on which I'm mounting a special purpose freewheel [2]. The chainrings are mounted to the freewheel using this adapter [3].

Some 64-bit systems still choose to use 32-bit pointers because it saves so much memory on storing them.
I am no strategist but I would estimate that right now Russia is generating incredible amounts of hate and fear and turning even those who were kind of indifferent into future enemies. If I naively estimate the probability of this being some rational grand strategy vs probability of this being a move of an old dictator possessed by his ego and some imagined grievances behaving in an irrational way that will damage Russia... I am leaning towards the later one. Of course this is just one example and there are certainly other scenarios/explanations.
Depends. You could target Russian citizens with strong ties to Putin with asset seizures like Roman Abramovich. Seizing Chelsea F.C. and handing it over to fans would be quite popular.
It's not a question of "possible". It's a question of "probable".

Me being old enough to buy lottery tickets means that me winning the lottery three times in a row is possible. The probability of that is very low.

There is nothing to suggest that the probability of a full-scale nuclear exchange is now higher than before. In fact, given that all major powers have already ruled out a military response, the probability might even be lower.

> You just need one crazy party.

No, you need an entire crazy command-and-control structure.
Yes and no.

Yes, countries prefer weak neighbors. A powerful alliance on your border is a potential threat (or deterrent to expansion).

No in the sense that the US only has 90k troops in NATO countries, or about 10% of Russia’s standing military. So it’s not like troops are messing at their border or enough to threaten an invasion. It’s very much a deterrent.

Also no in that the US, Russia and China are nuclear powers. The US should have little concern of a Chinese ground assault from Mexico as it could trigger a large scale nuclear war, defeating the purpose of the invasion. Similarly with Russia, their nuke arsenal means that no one will consider attacking them or invading their borders.
Not so sure if Trump succeeded. All Trump did was tell Putin "do whatever you want with whomever, as long as you leave my interests alone" (as in my personal interests). Did you forget the Helsinki summit, the one without interpreter? Or the Russian bounty on US troops in Afghanistan?
You're omitting a critical detail: Russia denied that those forces were Russian, effectively green lighting the US response. That's not a useful "test".

And Nato expansion was done by allowing coutries who wanted to do join Nato to go in. Yes, some of their motivation was to prevent Russia to attempt to expand again into their borders.

> All that is purely academic now so, with people in Ukraine dying over this shit.

That is not purely academic. Framing what Russia is doing now as kinda similar to Czech voluntary joining Nato is word class propaganda. It is in fact a lie.

There is a fourth reason: momentum.

We are just (finally) retiring a product with a large less-organised-than-we-care-to-about codebase that has been around in various states longer than our younger staff have been alive, that stored UUIDs wrong due to early misunderstanding by a long-gone expert. Several times during its life I made the case for converting it's use of UUIDS in strings to proper UUID types, even demonstrating significant performance improvements under load in a PoC, and storage savings. Everyone agreed it should be done that way, but there was considerably more work involved than just switching types (changing procs or type conversion could kill good query plans, dealing with the fact that at some point in history a smart person had used other strings as special values in one or two places, finding ad-hoc query preparation everywhere and making sure that declared the right type, ..., and of course the dreaded full regression test) so it never got done.

Especially in the last decade and a bit, because it would be retired in a year or two (ahem) so the time & effort would be better put to use elsewhere.
We can draw some boundaries:

Say Ukraine has ~100.000 trained~ soldiers, 10.000s with experience, and ~100.000 further conscripts, and more veterans/civilians.

It would need to end when russian military has enough presence in cities to make resistance meaningless. In order for russians to move by land into the cities, their tanks and road transports would (at the very least) need to survive handheld anti-tank missiles, of which Ukraine holds thousands, maybe 10s of thousands? Probably, weapons and ammunition will not run out for Ukraine as long as they are willing to put up resistance.

The losses for russia before this might amount to 10.000s?

At some point, losses will force a change of russian leadership, or willingness to fight among Ukrainians runs out.

I keep everything simple (my dictum is; "Choice is the enemy of Action"). Just ordinary Notebooks numbered as needed; one for "Musings" (notes/sayings to myself), another for Science/Technology/etc. and a multi-pen. That's it. My writings are all Precis in the sense that i use my own words to succinctly write down thoughts/passages with references to Books/etc. as needed. I only do this for subjects/topics which i judge to be worth understanding well; for others i just read and try to memorize the highlights/passages and Book names for later retrieval. Cross-linking is done using simple page/alphabet numbering.

PS: A simple system like the "Cornell Notetaking Method" maybe helpful in adding a little more structure to the above.
Most startups fail. Declaring any one a waste of effort is statistically justified.

IMO very few startups fail entirely. Plenty don't get to the point where they make a profit, and fewer still make a return for their investors, but there are lots of other things startups do that can be considered successes.

For most startups failing is an event that comes at the end of a long journey filled with successes. It would be wrong to only consider the last step.

I'd be perfectly happy if all file systems were flattened into a sql interface. The relational model is the only thing flexible enough to give all users what they want.

Having the user shell tightly integrated would be nice too. I'd like to be able to write a query like:

No, NATO is not a threat to Russia.

NATO is not organised well enough to conduct offensive operations on that scale, moreover, there is no state on earth, including US and China that could take parts of Russia and hold for long.

But that aside, the very real political and economic situation in the world would make it unfathomable. There's basically no 'strategy game' where the West would have the intent let alone ability to truly invaded Russia.

The 'NATO' issue is almost entirely a canard, a very easy argument that Putin uses to cause confusion, allow other supporters (i.e. China) to make empty arguments at the UN etc.

Putin is literally using the 'UN Charter' to as cover to legitimise his invasion of Ukraine.

Putin has used the term 'genocide' constantly in the last decade to refer to what is happening in Donbass even though this is obviously not the case.

Putin's implication that 'he's invading Ukraine to stop fascist country, to protect Russian speakers and to 'keep peace'' is basically rubbish, as are his arguments with respect to NATO.

There's a grain of truth in it, of course there is violence in Donbas, but amplifying the issue is the very obvious ruse.

Their playbook is wide open - we know their doctrine, we know how they use misinformation, we know how they argue, we know their intentions. It looks pretty bad on us to allow any of this to happen.

FYI - Western Media has been making a lot of money arguing in public lately, and it's appalling what we're seeing on some of the news outlets, and some of the statements by US public officials. Some people are 'taking a stake' in the situation as they would any other news item, i.e. 'jockeying for position' on the issue. It's disgusting.

> But when Britain and France did go to war in 1939, they were still unable to save Poland from being conquered and occupied. Clearly, had they gone to war a year earlier, they would not have been able to save Czechoslovakia, either

Churchill is probably not someone we should ascribe too much wisdom to...

That, and nukes changed everything.
That is a very naive take. It's abundantly clear that Kremlin orchestrated the rebel areas to "ask for help" so they have a pretext for the invasion. I mean that was so transparent that I honestly thought it was only meant for Russian local audiences and absolutely nobody would buy that in the West.

> VR is used by a lot of people for chatting, watching movies, fitness, some people work in it pretty regularly for development...

So basically specialist VR apps and VR training. Who is going to run in the park with that contraption on their head or go to a restaurant with that? Even previously with the first-gen AR glasses, we had the Glassholes. Now we have a first-gen VR contraption that claims it can be used in public with AR. And it is even worse.

> I'm going to assume you're going to interpret in the worst light possible.

There is a reason why I said the Simula One is late to the market and is obsolete on price, form-factor and its target market against Meta Quest, HTC Vive, or even the expensive HoloLens 2. I don't see why anyone other than Linux VR developers / geeks spending thousands would want a first-gen contraption like that. A very very limited target niche market for the Simula One.

> It's pretty varied and you'd know that if you actually knew anything about the space which is why I really can't take your arguments seriously.

I can assure you that no one will take the adoption of VR beyond VR games or VR training seriously, or even as the next platform of computing like the PC and iPhone, unless it shrinks into the form of glasses. That will certainly come from either Meta, Apple or Google and certainly not from hobbyist gadgets like the Simula.

> You're so confidently negative without actually having used any of it, not a great look, but that's your choice I guess.

Given one of the sources you linked [0] and [1] [2] I am even more confident that AR glasses (or even XR only in the form of glasses) are the next mass adopted computing platform after the iPhone. Not the current VR headsets or even the Simula which is appeals to its limited market of Linux VR enthusiasts.

> the alliance will get consolidated by this.

the alliance is already pretty consolidated. I think putin sees a NATO ukraine as more dangerous imho - esp. if ukraine becomes more and more democratic.

The invasion would be successful if the west does not deploy troops and intervene. I say the west has already failed, and this sets a precedent to which china would follow.

And if the west waits for too long, the military edge that the west has would diminish. Unfortunately, the public is reluctant to commit to war, because in the minds of those who are used to peace, diplomatic solutions seems to be the only cost they're willing to pay.

Unless things changed in the past year or so, i remember creating a google account without a phone number.However you might be right, because they recently stated they want to start forcing people info 2FA.What is more interesting(especially for people who don't understand how google operates behind the scenes) is that the markers they use for requiring phone numbers/id verification/etc is to train their bot detection.I remember about 2 years ago,on a 10yrs+ old google account, I had recently been required to verify my age(through an ID) for a video which did not require my age verification on a dummy account which was about 2 years old(so very new by comparison).

They might have introduced now mandatory age verification on per-video instead of per-account basis, but the stages they use are very questionable.Besides, YT is such an unusable platform these days one has to use NP/Vanced to have the same experience of youtube pre-2012, and still: back then there was less spam and phishing going on.
In all fairness, unlike Poland in 1939, Ukraine is not a country that managed to wage war against almost every single of their neighbours in the 20 years before the bigger fish came taking a bite.

That doesn't make Hitler any less a criminal - it just explains how his casus belli sounded more believable back in the day.
