What I'm wondering, with Russia being a nuclear power, what is Ukraine's end game? They seem to be doing a pretty good job of destroying invading force so far, but what's next? They either run out of steam defending, or they start to hit back at Russia, but then Russia could just unload a few nukes on them and be done with it. The West seems intent on not getting involved, and if they won't risk conflict now due to mutually assured destruction, they won't risk it after Russia uses nukes on Ukraine either. Is getting the Russian military to turn on Putin the only hope?

I read about the Lebanese civil war a few years ago and it was pretty eye opening. Urban warfare seems terrifying from the perspective of the attacker.
Even the law is 'founded' on the monopoly of state violence within its borders. Extend this logic to the whole world: whoever has more power to inflict violence has the 'legal' authority. Law without the monopoly on violence is toothless.
And if you look at the Ukrainian resistance right now, it seems they prefer a democratically elected leader over a Russian puppet dictator. Strange, right?

Because diesels (even modern) don't use throttle plates. They control power entirely through fuel metering, as predetonation is not an issue given the the more robust cylinder design and nature of diesel fuel.

Some diesels use so called J-brakes which effectively function as throttle plates to induce engine braking, but they are exclusively for slowing down the vehicle.
Back burner thought and mind wandering are also really important aspects of intelligence and creativity, but it's difficult to test them.

Anonymous doesn't really have any political allegiance and doesn't do things for the reasons you think they do them. Most of those videos are made by non-technical people and are basic propaganda - and that's a big part in shielding Anonymous from too much federal heat. The people actually doing the work are mostly there for the laughs and clout. Second, Anonymous is mostly decentralized, much like terrorist networks. They gather on image boards you're probably detestful of and post messages on plain sight alongside a stream of repulsive content. They also splinter themselves across various IRC networks and now probably use more modern decentralized encrypted comms. That makes them difficult to track.
> The former recognises that he is in a position of influence in "the" CS society and is instructing them to account for ethics better, even if that leads to uncomfortable discussions (and repercussionsin the form of less sponsor money).

We probably haven't worked at the same places, but in my experience, unethical decisions aren't made at the bottom. I don't understand the point of the author making a populism-styled appeal here. What are we going to do, ramp up cancel culture? Furrow our brows harder and wag our fingers more sternly? These things aren't working, and if anything, have allowed the actual problem to persist: "surveillance capitalism" is legal and profitable. If the best company doesn't take up the profit, the worst certainly will.

If a business stands to profit by doing unethical things, how can we expect them to act differently if they won't face any legal accountability? Most people in the US believes that it's the primary responsibility of companies to make money for their shareholders by any legal means. If we collectively deem surveillance capitalism to be predatory, then the only answer is to either make it unprofitable, or illegal.

I feel like I should say something about AI, but it adds nothing to this discussion, other than it has made surveillance capitalism more aggressive. We used to have little guns, and now we have bigger ones. This will always be the case as long as technology is pursued.
Ukraine's endgame is to inflict so many casualties and destroy so much equipment that the Russians have no choice but to turn back in shame which along with sanctions from the rest of the world will hopefully lead to an uprising by the Russian people and an overthrow of Putin and his Oligarchs.
> Ukraine didn't get into NATO, got invaded anyways.

It didn’t, but it intended to: "In June 2017, the Ukrainian Parliament adopted legislation reinstating membership in NATO as a strategic foreign and security policy objective. In 2019, a corresponding amendment to Ukraine’s Constitution entered into force." [1]

No need for nukes. Kyiv will become a Sarajevo II. Our TV screens will be full of starving children which will eventually force a surrender (or a pretext for a NATO intervention.)

Involving nukes would quickly get everyone involved. No one wants nuclear war.

The US can't unilaterally grow NATO. It requires consensus among its members, many of which would hesitate to take such provocative measures.
Two things:

- Less uranium is being produced than being consumed.

- The Russian sphere of influence is responsible for most uranium exports by far.

Then tell them they can do whatever they want with little response. Has the EU drawn up a surrender treaty yet?
The secrecy could be explained that they didn’t want the invasion plans leaked by low level operations. Apple does the same thing with new products, with different teams working in isolation on a need to know basis. Clearly the army now knows exactly what they are doing and where they are, and they’re still doing it.

According to reports, only a third of the force deployed around Ukraine are actually in Ukraine.[1] So, about 50-60,000. So, there are as many Russian troops currently deployed in Ukraine as US troops currently stationed in Japan, give or take a few thousand.[2]

been spending last summer in high altitude. firing up the gas heater was really expensive and fire not always practical. During days I got used to wearing functional clothing to keep me dry, a wooly hat, a warm soup for lunch. It was weird initially but got used to it fast. I even liked it after a while since I learned to really appreciate the act of making the place warm for 3-4 hours every evening, take a shot shower, cook etc ... Not something I previously considered I'd derive pleasure from as I'd always taken this for granted.

Q1: Do existing NATO members consult their citizens (referendum or political party making pledge before national election or similar) before a new member state is admitted?

Q2: If not, why not?

bonus Q: Imagine Taiwan were to apply to join NATO...
I'm just guessing of course but I would think the goal is to defeat the invading force. Once they're gone there's not necessarily a need to hit back at Russia. My hope would be that Russia wouldn't send another round of attacks because the hotter this gets, the more risk of other countries coming to Ukraine's aid to stop atrocities. In fact that could even be a hope for Ukraine.
It's hard not to see that as an obvious consequence to the Crimea annexation several years earlier.

Ukraine, as a sovereign nation, has every right to desire entry into NATO.

Russia, on the other hand, is in clear and direct violation of their own agreements, where Ukraine gave up nukes in exchange for permanent security guarantees against exactly what's happening now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Securit...

No, it’s comparable to your compiler/linter suggesting fixes when it spots issues. Pointing out an error is one level of knowledge, suggesting a fix is not in the same class.

Not really. Now any integration has to be done inside the container or with other containers... which adds lots of extra steps. I do agree using Docker makes a simple deployment easier, though.
And my point was that this should be illegal too.
That's not what they said at all though. Have you never been traveling and had your CC declined and your bank immediately calls you to verify the purchase? Credit cards do have checks in place to immediately flag them as fraudulent. This is not related to bitcoins and they never said it was.

On top of that, if you use a stolen credit card to buy a steam game and the original owner files a chargeback, your entire steam account gets banned. So yes it's extremely relevant here.

If instead you buy BTC on an exchange and then spend those BTC on steam, it's less likely to be flagged as fraud (at the time) because the BTC is purchased from an American website. Then you spend the BTC on steam. Then once the credit card is reported as stolen and a chargeback filed, it's the crypto exchange who gets hit. The chargeback is never associated with Steam and you can buy Steam games from a lower-priced market without the CC company ever being aware.

> Don't worry, we were doing nuclear fracking back in the days. Everything that could work has been tried for oil and gas exploration.

Likewise, everything that conceivably could be done with nuclear was tried or at least designed for a while there - lighting watches with radium, digging canals with nukes, space travel by continuously exploding nukes behind you... good times. (Horrifying times, but w/e;])
For me the greatest outcome is not that Ukraine successfully defends itself but that the Russian people defeat Putin themselves, that this war opens their eyes to a change that is actually possible by the masses.

Given the choice, I'd definitely rather have Zelensky than Putin, but preferably not either. The world doesn't need more celebrity politicians. (I recognise that the US is scarcely a model here; I can only plead that I didn't want any of our celebrity politicians, either.)

EDIT: To be quite clear, this is not meant in any way as anti-Zelenksy. As the child comments say, correctly, he seems to be the leader Ukraine needs right now.
They did wait for him to (probably inadvertently) fly for a few minutes over sovereign Turkish air space. They wouldn't have dared if he had stayed entirely on the Syrian side.

More interesting is that just a couple of years later all is forgotten and Russia is selling Turkey its most advanced S-400 air defense system, thus precipitating a diplomatic crisis with the US.

When the ACM code of ethics was being discussed for adoption it was ensured to be toothless so as not to alienate large corporations and China, which would have been bad for the organization in various respects.

...and it appears the two mutual alliances pre-World War 1 basically ended up hastening the start of World War 1.

Why do we think that it would be different this time?
A lot of people want crypto banned simply because its uses seem to be almost entirely restricted to criminal activity and speculation (i.e. gambling).
This is complex. There is plenty of evidence of false flag and other trickery going on from the Russian side including changing into the uniform of the Ukranian forces before attacking vehicles and such.

So a Putin controlled government agency on a website under the control of the same agency and during a war. Yes, obviously the most reliable source of information. Dream on.
Except potentially a desperate Putin. I do think the only hope is the Russian military not following him at that point.
I think the end game is likely "make it costly enough to stay", so Russia makes a face-saving withdrawal on a "we successfully demilitarized Ukraine by getting rid of a lot of their military equipment" basis.

I think that number includes Ukrainians. And I can’t believe Putin didn’t realize that that speech, his style justification, would be seen and judged all over the world.
The article links to Army Doctrine. I am surprised to find it open to people outside of army.

Does anyone perhaps know if there is resource like this for Army communication? I would be most interested in not combat communication where they have to give orders, but maybe where they have more time to share opinions down and up the hierarchy, maybe garher intel.

It is true that learning extra languages makes it easier and easier, but that just makes the learning capacity of babies even more impressive: they are not even learning a language, they are leaning what is a language, what does it mean to make sound with their mouth, etc etc.

Several comments seem to suggest babies are learning to speak full time, but it's very far from it, they have to learn to walk, eat, read physical expression, draw, etc etc, all kind of things we don't even realize. They are just awesome learning machines, which I find fascinating to watch.
Germany to Send Anti-Tank Weapons, 'Stinger' Missiles to Ukraine

The weapons, which will come from the Bundeswehr’s own stocks, “will be delivered as quickly as possible to Ukraine”, said a government statement.

You're forgetting how Pakistan PM Khan immediately landed in Moscow after the invasion, declaring to his Russian welcomers "what a time I have come. So much excitement."

It's Russian Su-27. Text is in Russian language on the plane. Ukrainian army uses Ukrainian language only for 20+ years.
Few theories:

1. Ukraine is behind disinformation campaign to temporarily boost morale.

2. Russia is behind disinformation campaign to mount an element of surprise (an all out offensive was suddenly ordered this morning).

3. Social media is facilitating disinformation with variety of incentives for its participants ranging from merchandising (as was for Ghost of Kiev) and internet points (DCS World footages)

I also wish I had self-confidence to say anything that suggests that Ukraine reversed progress of German troops. It was Soviet Union that did that in an offensive which started shortly after the battle of Stalingrad. Ukraine was under Nazi occupation throughout majority of the war with one major nationalist insurgency group fighting both Nazis and Soviets simultaneously.

And the FBI gave those attackers a pass, did it?
let me rephrase then...

"How much can we charge to ensure we are not leaving money on the table?"

'How much can you afford' has a deeper meaning. It's not how much money is in your wallet definition of "afford". It's more like how high can we push that number before your backside no longer clinches. It's a sales person's wet dream situation. It was never meant to be understood as "we can't afford your asking price, so give us a lower rate'.

The overall missed point is that there is no set price. The prices are negotiated per purchaser.
> One possible solution currently considered is to ask Article 5 protections from NATO for the duration of the membership process.

The report discusses this, and mentions two reasons against doing that:

- What happens if you do it, and then the referendum votes against joining? You're screwed from both ends.

- Due to the previous reason, there will be extreme pressure to vote for joining in the referendum, making it not very democratic.
I think something to keep in mind here too is that whether that was a Russian missile or not (I expect it was, but grant that it might have been friendly fire), it's a certainty it wouldn't have been fired if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine.
