I don't trust the assumption that there aren't still a large number of hawks in the various governments of NATO that would still love an excuse to try to destroy Russia once and for all. There's probably a >50% chance that once shooting starts between NATO and Russia it doesn't stop until one or the other is incapacitated.
Since it's extracted from the air, it shouldn't be too hard to start doing it here. I assume we do this for other gases already, so ramping it up for Neon may not be that difficult.
Your domestic fab capability can't run without thousands of consumables, and services only available in Asia. USA is not semiconductor self-sufficient since eighties, and cannot be any more, just like anybody else.

Semi is the most globalised industry spanning 28 countries, with USA, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, SK, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands being able to singlehandedly stop the whole of it.

It's a naive thinking "once TSMC will complete Arizona megafab, we can abandon Taiwan." There, are as I said, hundreds of critical single supplier globally pieces of equipment, services, and materials that most of the world had zero idea about. How about nanoneedle probes capable of testing M0 the entire industry depends on, for which there is 1 small company for the entire world.
You would think that the city of LA would be able to do something to alleviate the permit process that the city of LA created to reduce the building costs being funded/managed by city of LA.
> Not quite Prop 13 but you can't have high increases in property values, and simultaneously have affordable housing.

Sure you can, you just also need to build new housing. The key is that the new housing has to be higher density than the old housing — the value is primarily in the land, not the house.

If a developer could legitimately and easily build a 4-plex where any single-family home exists right now, the prices of SFHs would likely stay high — they are still a luxury, and become more so as they become rarer, raising prices further — while the units in a 4-plex (still housing!) are more affordable.

Everyone wins. Except we can’t do that, because we can’t build denser housing in basically any of California.
Why would it stop? Not sure how the Chinese military works, but presumably their pilots need a certain # of flight hours to stay current. It's not like there's really a downside for China
Certainly, I see us expanding to other cloud providers as we follow customer demand, but it will take some time. I think if you wanted to move faster and have a higher level of control, self-hosted would be the way to go. We are offering that but it's not on our web site.

I think they'll be watching what happens in Ukraine very carefully. Then they'll be calibrating their predictions about what would happen if they invaded Taiwan with Russia's experience in Ukraine.
I hope none of them plan on accepting cups of tea in the near future[0].

What if he is actually mad? Maybe terminally ill and not minding the scorched earth he'd leave behind?

Luckily, this is Russia. There is always someone willing to stab the tzsar in the back when the time comes.
Every time they do this Taiwan has to scramble their own jets in the air. So most likely it is to test Taiwan's response times and wear out their aircrafts. Each flight of those fighter jets adds to a maintenance cost on top of the fuel costs, which is disproportionately higher for Taiwan considering the size of the economy.
All hypothesis are acceptable.
A technical manoeuvre: passed by the legislature but did not received royal ascent from the lieutenant governor (or something akin to that effect).
Their coding for AGESA doesn't seem to be any better. My Ryzen 5000 series CPU was repeatedly faulting when the system was under load until recently I updated to a beta BIOS whose only change was a newer AGESA version. (I actually thought it was my NVIDIA GPU for a while because it only happened when the GPU was being driven hard).

Intel CPUs (at stock clock speeds/multipliers) never gave me stability issues.
Wasn't that what people were saying about Russia's aggression too? Yet here we are.
What have Americans done other than warn of war but not do anything? If anything they made war more likely by preventing Russia from saving face. Even Zelenskiy said as much.

But the west didn't actually do anything... Why didn't they pledge any real support? What use was all the US' intelligence if in the end they just stand by?

It really feels like the west wanted this in order to justify more sanctions and completely sold out Ukraine.

Edit - on further thought, it feels like the US wants Ukrainians to fight and die. Really though, what use is the US?
if you have temporary permission to stay somewhere that doesn't give you the right the use force to take over the entire region. America doesn't get to deploy troops in Moscow and then say "this isn't an invasion, we were already here" because they have an embassy there.

It also doesn't give you the right to shoot down passenger aircraft.

So again, fuck off.
Good stuff in here. But since they found a bug which caused them to disable incremental compilation by default for this release, I'll likely skip this one and wait a few weeks for 1.60.0 (which these release notes state will likely address the problem and restore default incremental compilation)
There is always a balance to be achieved between creating stuff oneself and mentoring others. The ideas which helped me on this have been:

(a) never offer mentoring/review/training if it's forced or otherwise unsolicited;

(b) reading Feynman talking about teaching: https://www.math.utah.edu/~yplee/teaching/feynman.html

Who said anything about communism? I was talking about forcing people to undergo mental health treatment against their will simply because they can't afford a place to live.
Funneling nearly a million bucks per homelessperson-head into the pockets of politically connected developers is not "improving the world", unless you happen to be one of the developers. The quanta of utility that they get from this will be much larger than any homeless person who gets a dwelling out of it, especially since they most likely need medical and supervised psychiatric treatment more.

My ability to see that LA is not actually looking for a solution, leads me to want to capture some of the cash they are foolishly setting fire to in order to prolong their problem.

Also, my socioeconomic status is such that I could really use a half-mil, tbh.
1904? Really?
The sentence before that quote I pulled was "Most [emphasis mine] of the units are studios or one-bedroom apartments." That seems to imply that the 14% above $700k are probably 2 or more bedrooms and are designed for families. The article has no details on the costs per unit for the other 86% that likely include those dorm room style units.
Yep, you can always add oil yourself if you like the taste. I also recommend buying the ones that have the skin and bones, because there's a lot of nutrition there. The bones are barely noticeable. This was the brand I went with: https://www.amazon.com/Crown-Prince-Sardines-Water-4-25-Ounc...

What do you suppose makes it so impossible for a soft cult politician to recognise a warrior when they see one? Because warriors seem to have no problem seeing the other way around.

The Americans had their noses rubbed in it for 20 years in Afghanistan, only to see the warrior Taliban spring right back up overnight. I can’t imagine a more effective wake-up call than that.

It would have been better if they had just called Gorbachev and asked if invading Afghanistan could ever work or they should just drop it. He has the experience and I’m sure he would have been happy to share it.
...mortal blow for an authoritarian regime.

Let's not pretend we can just torment Russia until a "good Russian leader" emerges to attend to our every desire. No politician who would ever receive 1% of the vote in Russia would support Ukraine joining NATO. NATO was formed to impoverish Russia and its allies, and that is still its obvious and declared purpose. Likewise, USA has relatively few politicians who would support China installing missile batteries along the Mexico border.
I am from Russia and I've been shaking for whole day for what Putin is doing. I couldn't even get myself to go to work today. I'm in complete shock. It's like one day waking up in Third Reich.

What kind of CSS do you need to add to <select>? Do you have an example of this modern design?
Hi! Definitely reach out to us to discuss further.
I'm always hitting the limitation that I can't use a const parameter on a trait like a const generic. As an example, this is disallowed:

I’m a big fan of this concept. I’m always coming up with ideas, or more importantly problems I think tech could solve (or solve better). Some of them I might work on myself but most of them I know I’ll never touch them for a multitude reasons like lacking the technical expertise or not knowing the right people to talk to. I’d happily put these online for someone else to solve. In the end it would still be solving my initial problem.

As far as I can tell, nothing like this really exists. A quick search gives r/startup_ideas and a few other low traffic forums.

I think structuring it around the fundamental problem, rather than the solution would provide a nice space for lots of solutions to flourish.

Users could easily like problems that they also have, giving a nice ranking of the ‘most important’ problems, and which would provide a ready list of people to present an MVP to, get feedback from, and you may even find a cofounder amongst them.
I've been eating beef tallow past three weeks. Not strictly carnivore, but using the broth and oil from my cooking pots. Wow I feel great. The best part is that the beef tallow is free. I went to the butcher and asked for some fat trimmings, they laughed and asked me what for. To render tallow. I got a 5lb bag for free.

Also I discovered I can use Rosemary in the fat, for flavor and memory improvement.
Now we are going into the realm of psychology (maybe) where I am merely a simple internet reader:

I think in case of someone who attacks there is always an endgame (something they want to gain/achieve/posses ...) and reasons are post action justifications.

I could actually say this in general: everybody is doing something (or choose not to) to gain something. What is true is that sometimes the final stage is not consciously expressed. But in my view se are an organism that is spending energy to gain something at the final of the exchange. In this inaction is also a form of exchange.
> and does the ecosystem encourage that.

In the case of Arduinos? Yes. As I said, the original Arduino IDE has partial C++ support. Classes are used by almost every library. The AVR series originally targeted are 8 bit MCUs, and they run fine despite the ATMega328p, for example, having only 32 KB of flash.
Are you suggesting that this is the cause of the extinction event, rather than an extraterrestrial impact? Or something more like the impact may have caused a significant change in atmospheric composition?

This would not explain the myriad other, much smaller species that also perished, not to mention all of the marine animals.
If property taxes were level across properties, wouldn't we likely see property values drop, given the presumed higher taxes in the future?

I'd rather see us adopt lower but uniform property tax rates that are revenue-neutral with Prop 13 rates.

Of course I'm only an aspiring property owner so I have a significant bias here.
Yes for mentoring, I’ve always avoided positions that would involve or expect lots of helping juniors. I’ve been told I’m good at this but I don’t enjoy it.

Code review of peers is generally fine. When people know what they’re doing it’s usually more to catch unintended mistakes and as a sanity check that what’s being done makes sense.
if I may, "recent future" implies some time travel to make sense, you might instead say immediate or forseeable future
Does anyone know where is the best place to donate for relief efforts? Or is it better just to wire money to our friends who we know?
Sure. Ditto Latvia. But that doesn't mean that those provinces had a majority in favor of secession before all this started sliding, that's just the pretext used to invade after the Russian puppet was voted out.
Talk to your visitors live like real
I thought it would be cool to talk to potential visitors/customers live without overhead of dialing/calling in. Currently available feedback tools are aysnc and need work from visitors.

I built Muchat.live to make this interaction easy. You add a small snippet and your visitors can click to listen and talk with you live, (they can also talk to each other). If you are the host, you will get a ping when a customer joins in, you can keep it running aside, and talk when a visitor they arrives.
This is very initial prototype. I'll roll features and fixes everyday. What do you think about this ?

> China is even building cables to Chile (!)

Where did you read this? China is 18000 km from Chile, so this seems really unlikely.
> They said most of the potential cyberattacks under consideration are designed to disrupt but not destroy, and therefore fall short of an act of war by the United States against Russia. They say the idea is to harm networks, not people.

An interesting argument, but I'm not sure that Russia would see it that way.
"We saved some money" is how economics works in price competitive markets. This is a result of many players doing what keeps each one competitive, but without collaborating on what the large scale effects are down the road.
Yeah, I'm not really seeing the justification for that argument, especially not when expressed as a dichotomy.
Perhaps gp could have worded it a bit more kindly, but I think there is value in calling out people who espouse opinions without having sufficient knowledge to back it up. It's people like this who degrade and limit useful discourse.

My heart goes out to op and everyone else who has been unfairly effected by this conflict.
Think about the biggest problem (pain point) in your own life. Solve that.
The maximum out of pocket expense for 2021 is $17k or so for a family, and even in CA, maximum premiums should be ~$25k per year for a family of 4, maybe closer to $30k if parents are age 55+.

At a million dollars of salary, that is not going to make a difference to anyone, especially because most of the $30k premiums will be paid by employer, so you are left spending $20k out of pocket maximum including your portion of the premiums.

I would just add $15k for a single person / $30k for a family to tax expenses to compare relative taxes for an employer person in US vs EU.
Are we in favor of economics/capitalism here or are we not?

Because the economics literature is quite clear that international trade is beneficial to all involved. It's what we insist that developing countries focus on exports when loaning them money. For many years, Taiwan has been the poster child that we point to when trying to change the ways of Cuba or Venezuela.

Are these principles so weak that we would allow a dictator who doesn't even have the support of his own people to shake them?
You also get the situation where you're not protected from dishonest people, but honest people get discouraged from doing anything with your software because of the same clauses that the dishonest people just ignore anyway.
> Wouldn't the overwhelming liberal majority rule in California be evidence in and of itself? I guess there could be liberals in name who enact conservative policy (or maybe little policy at all), but I haven't seen evidence of that.

Good points.

First, what do the outcomes depend on? Policies of California state and local government are only limited factors. They do not create the economy, migration, weather, real estate development, etc. etc. (though they some limited effect on all of them). There are many other powers in the world. The government's power to control events is pretty limited.

Second, do we see any correlation between California government and these outcomes? Homelessness has existed worldwide probably for all time. A fundamental question is, with what is increased homelessness correlated?

Third, we don't know what the outcomes would be without the policy or with other policies. Negative outcomes don't indicate bad decisions - things could be worse. If you are dying of terminal disease, you don't assume the doctor's decisions are the cause, and therefore we'd be better off without healthcare. We are dealing with a difficult problem.

Finally, not all decisions and policies are partisan; people and publics are not politically consistent anwyay, and make policies for all sorts of reasons. And California has had Republican government on and off for a long time, and anything effects of government policy you see now are the outcome of decades of governance.

I have the secondhand POV of a middle class Russian friend who grew up in Moscow and went to US for university, and keeps very up to date with domestic politics and economy. Did not expect full-scale invasion, has many generalized and specific concerns about what comes next.

Believes that Putin does not care about the opinion of the well-to-do Russian diaspora, even if they have fiscal or monetary connections to Russia. Very concerned, at the personal level, about the impact of broader sanctions that threaten to isolate the Russian economy like the Iranian economy. Views Putin as responsible for provoking these sanctions. However, he believes that the general Russian public is generally supportive of Putin's actions.

> there is no recourse and you lose everything.

This isn't quite true. Many sites will allow you to recover your account via email. So even if your Google account is closed there would be a recovery route.

Of course some sites do require the same Google account ID, and once that is closed you are screwed. Oh, and I hope you aren't using a GMail account. Then you are really screwed.
Yeah, the thinness was my issue as well. Which is how my press got broken: pressing too hard. (That, and extremely low quality iron being used to make it.)

> I think the host should be held accountable if they keep allowing the same harmful content to be uploaded again and again. The first occurrence is their notice. Future occurrences is negligence.

On this, I fully support your view. Something as trivial as a keeping list of hashes, to prevent repeat uploads of the exact same binary content, is incredibly easy to implement and I would fault any major hoster for not doing it. But people quickly learn to re-encode or subtly alter the content, so hashes, size, number of frames, etc don't match.

Perceptual hashes are a lot more expensive computationally, should be much harder to dodge, but even youtube, which supposedly has the best minds behind it, copes very poorly with the many popular evasion techniques (slight distortion, horizontal mirroring, superimposing a couple thin lines, showing the content in the left pane, while showing nonsense in the right pane, etc etc) so I'm not sure they're a viable option.

Can you really hold the hoster at fault when the technology doesn't exist, or is impractically slow and expensive? Would you rather have no hosters?
The USA has a long, long history of being able to move when it has to. I'm pretty sure that if they want to re-create a particular level of expertise that they will be able to do so, given enough time.

That's quite a claim. You should probably include some citations to back up something like that.

But, for sake of conversation, assuming 100% accuracy on your part, it still seems really absurd to me to assume that the average military member was even aware of this conspiracy, let alone supporting it while simultaneously pretending that we thought we were building up a local democratic government.

Why not fry in tallow and other animal fats? I'm not an expert in this at all, but I will at least make the argument that we have historically eaten more animal fats than vegetable oils, so we might be better adjusted to it. I'd love to hear from someone who's more educated.

Plus, they taste amazing.
> Biden played it as well as he could

Biden played it like shit. If they had never warned of war maybe Putin could have saved face.

Instead Biden antogonized Russia, pledged support to Ukraine but didn't actually do anything. They sold out Ukraine. They wanted Ukrainians to do what, fight and die? What good was US intelligence? The US isn't doing shit...
