Seems like some of the arguments that i made in my blog post "Remote working and the elephant in the room" are becoming relevant: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/remote-working-and-the-elep...

There will probably be some companies that remain fully remote and some that attempt to get everyone back into offices ASAP, as well as some in the middle that will try to embrace hybrid modes of work. Each type will tend to attract employees who are compatible with them, though it's hard to say whether the percentages of people that want a particular mode of work and the percentages of companies that actually offer it will match up, especially if people who make these choices on policy within the companies are not aligned with those who want to work there and vice versa.

It'll probably lead to many seeking out other employment opportunities and taking their domain knowledge and skills with them, which will be somewhat problematic in the months or years to come. I know for a fact that i don't enjoy commute or having to live in the city, so i might just look for some other place to work if/when the "return" to office policy comes into effort. Sadly, in my case i only have about 50k euros in savings so perhaps it's a bit premature to think of starting my own SaaS, since i earn a bit above 20k euros a year (after taxes) in Latvia now: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/on-finances-and-savings

To sum up my point: it's nice to have the choice rather than having just cultural norms be passed down (which is one of the silver linings of the pandemic, as bad as it is), but it will cause some strife in the future until everything settles.
As the author correctly noted the role of Preemptive Sanctions is not as a deterrent but his argumentation agains it is based on a nof far-sighted enough analysis of the consequences of sanctions.

(1) Russia is a state on brink of bancrupcy. Deplatforming Russia from SWIFT, Visa, Mastercard, stopping gas pipelines, etc etc. cutting any trade swhatsover would degrade Russia's finances enough to prevernt them from being able to finance a prolongued military offensive operations. Helicopters, tanks, planes are very expensive.

(2) Russia is a also a very oligarchical state with regular people having zero power or assets. Therefore preemptive sanction should have been imposed on Russia's oligarchs in order to "motivate" them into questioning their support of Putin himself.
Again degrading his ability to order risky military missions, degrading his ability for prolongued war and perhaps the oligarchs would overthrow Putin altogether. With perhaps the war itseelf already being Putin's preemptive tactic to escape being overthrown.

Forthermore, again, preemprively NATO should have supplied Ukraine with vast amounts of defensive antitank and antihelicopter weapons which wold inflict very costly damage and perhaps stop the invasion altogether - there were ideas to supply these weapons but Germany opposed.

NATO could also have ordered massive militaty training in Ukraine and again did have this idea but again Germany was against.
World bank is enough for you?

The poverty headcount ratio for Russia went from 24.6% in 2002 to 10.7% in 2012, so it's actually a decrease of more than 50% in less than 20 years, even more than what stated by OP above.

I have not seen Russia post-USSR be interested in expanding and swallowing territory. Rather, I have seen them try to hold on to what they have, as more and more republics want to secede. We all know how USA dealt with secession…

I honestly think Russia is motivated only by NATO being a long term geopolitical existential threat. And what it sees as the wresting of its allies by “the West”. Honestly, seeing how nations fare after trusting the USA (eg Kurds) I can’t really blame them for that.

What I do blame them for is sucking at public dialogue and messaging and then lashing out militarily. I blame the USA and others for that last part too. But at least the USA is good at meesaging so people know what we are concerned about.

Remember, after all, this is the prevailing sentiment around the world every year:

This is ignorance at it's best. The nuance here is if the US could nuke other faraway sovereign countries, why Ukraine couldn't against a neighbour, over what it sees as security concern?

This is absolutely true - but the immediacy and severity of these attacks when being "farmed" in the wild is brutal and very much unlike the occasional attacks in the wild, which aren't necessarily nearly as fatal nor as likely to result in loss of limb(s).

While one shouldn't discount those that are stuck in circumstances like that, no, we don't. And when their surroundings are noisy, they can just mute their microphones until they'd like to say something, which is just basic etiquette for communicating online. Or you can even pic up a microphone with a polar pattern that doesn't pick up much background noise for about 20$, which is what i did.
Kenya's representative to the UN made a very strong statement against Russia invading Ukraine.

Non-Western non-superpowers are no more excited about being kicked around by Russia and China than Western ones. Western hegemony hasn't been all good for them, but it beats the amoral free-for-all that self-loathing Westerners wish for.
> For one, Putin seems to want to reassemble the USSR as a vanity project

Putin has almost exclusively bad things to say about the USSR, it is the Russian Empire he wants to restore.
Any direct confrontation with Russia may go nuclear. The NATO doctrine understandably requires a direct attack on a NATO member to run that risk.

In my opinion, Russia will not have a lot of appetite for further aggression after all those sanctions. Invading NATO members and setting off a huge, unwinnable conflict should be pretty far down the list of priorities in the next few years.

You are wildly uninformed about the local geography.

And no, NATO members - which Ukraine is not - are not US territory. That's reality.
Not this. Russia sees Ukraine joining NATO as a security concern - whether true or not, so in their view they must pre-emptively strike

Morally speaking, it's not justified for humans to keep making war

Objectively speaking, it's justified from Russia's point of view

> If all we do is justify our current actions with the past, then every country can find some historic argument for invading another country

Unfortunately, history repeats itself because human nature is difficult to change, so that's likely to happen for centuries
Well what would happen when they leave? I doubt the Ukrainians there (who are very much pro western) are just going to sit on their hands and twiddle their thumbs.
The lines as to which animals are ok to eat seem somewhat arbitrary and ever changing to me.

Either accepting it as a fact of life or not eating any at all seem like the only sound stances that don’t change with the way the wind blows
As long as propaganda causes people to "engage" with the platform and watch ads, why change anything? The propaganda accounts also contribute towards engagement numbers so it's a win-win situation for them.

I see, I guess Matthew 7:5 can be brushed off as “whataboutism”.

Pointing out total hypocrisy and asking both sides to stop doing bad things is somehow hitting below the belt eh

It’s a sad state of affairs when being evenhanded and keeping a sense of proportion is considered extreme bias.

When you say that a member of group X is bad, then you have to have a baseline. When it comes to superpowers we have Russia, China, USA. They all do terrible imperialistic things and we the people living in them should maybe try to get them to let up. “Whataboutism” is a stupid non-rebuttal that just says “let me just be biased and keep navel gazing at one specific country while ignoring even worse things by other countries because I care not about the actual humanitarian issues but about proving how bad a particular country is, and you’re making me care about the actual issues”.

Personally, if I have to eat an animal, I'd much rather focus first and foremost on eating the creature that has been killed in as painless, immediate and stressless a way as possible. If choosing between meat options that all have been relatively humanely slaughtered, then I might start to look at other factors such as intelligence or environmental impact of a particular species being raised for food.
Yeah, going over the RSA algorthim with kids-- maybe other kids are smarter, but Im not sure. I mentored a 16 year old some time ago(python), and also trained young engineers in their 20s-- and just teaching the basics of programming is hard enough without also throwing in crypto algos

And you're forgetting the whole Bessarabia thing - Russia forced Romania to cede Bessarabia, them had to return it, then the Soviets did the same, and after the Soviet Union fell leftover Russians separated and blocked any discussion on the resulting country of Moldova from trying to merge back into Romania ( not saying everyone wants this, but Transistria blocked even the possibility of that).
> Since that time, NATO has been steadily expanded and pushing closer and closer to Russia's borders, notwithstanding the said assurances, which the West is quick to point out were not in any way binding.

Is it NATO "expanding" or post-soviet countries begging on their knees to be accepted into it for protection?

If Baltic states, Poland would not have been accepted into NATO - I think there would be soviet union 2.0, either by straight annexation like with Ukraine or parts of Georgia and Moldova or with economic/political control, like with Belarus and Ukraine before Maidan.

Many post-soviet countries after freeing themselves from soviet shackles went running straight to bang onto EU and NATO doors. Some have been lucky to be accepted, some were not.

Since forever Germany, US and alike do not "get" russia. Time and time again the west works with russia with optimism and attempt to establish relations like it would be any other liberal democracy.

US being assholes does not forgive russia to be an asshole, with old-school bombing of civilian properties. russia has a choice to be a proper global economical player, but chooses not to - time and time again.

I generally agree, but I make a living from bucking that trend. The few websites that don't become affiliate mouthpieces quickly become household names in their niche.
Ukraine couldn't join because there's territorial disputes and NATO doesn't allow that.
I'm looking forward to what kind of impact mushroom leather will have if it becomes competitive with animal leather in price, availability, and durability. I wonder if it can replace animal leather for leatherworking eventually? Could you cobble a decent pair of hiking boots with it?
One problem is that a lot of American institutions don't want an EU military, they want NATO to be the only player so they can dominate it.

I take the American side in most international issues but I think that's a mistake.
Currently, Ukraine hear cryings of Russian soldiers, when they are burning in their armor. We hear them very well. Mission accomplished?
I think there is a massive difference between swearing and usibg swearwords in scholarly discussions on those swearwords.
We have that model with the US. As did the Netherlands, past tense. And it is not very well liked. Trying to change it would start a public discussion, and end that model. This is a big issue around the Tornado replacement, US nukes mean US planes. Everybody is just tip-toeing around that topic, simply to avoid any attention on German nuclear participation.

I cannot believe there actual proponents of nuclear armament and proliferation in 2022.

> NATO made an extremely costly error of accommodating the Greek junta

Are you sure you are being neutral here? I'm pretty sure the Turkish army was the oppressor, at least in this case... and what Greek junta?

> Turkey has NATO's most powerful conventional military on this side of the Atlantic

Conventional military means nothing. Turkey can't even close the Bosporus in these times of war because of Russian pressure. Just read the news.

By the way I sound like a typical "reformed former citizen who hates their roots", I know. But I actually love the country, just not the politics.
Dogs and cats are companion animals, incidentally and intentionally selected to have behavioural phenotypes that make them amenable to that role. A wild octopus isn't quite the same. I've had quite a few marine animals in captivity and while octopus are intelligent, I think a bit too much is being made of some of these anecdotes relative to that. For example, small freshwater crayfish which I don't think anyone would argue have the intelligence of a pig or octopus still display the interindividual difference in personalities, preferences etc in a tank.
Thanks for the solution!
Showing up as "F#$%" in an ancient manuscript
While I don't know you or your dog - imagine for a moment if you could talk to your dog one last time and tell them the regret you feel. Do you think they would want you to regret the end, or remember all the love before that day?

In all my experience with dogs (and animals in general), one of the many lessons they have taught me is forgiveness. Both of others and myself.
I'm no expert on this stuff, but I don't get the partisan nature of this Ukraine Russia debate at all.

Putting aside the politics of what side the US government is on...

It seems very equivalent to me to when some southern states declared secession from the northern states (in 1860), there was a civil war. To Russians, Ukraine is integral to them and their identity, even if that has been the case since 1991 (a situation forced on Russia at the time).

So, if we can leave the politics aside, accepting that there are institutions such as countries etc, what would be the right thing here?

Why should Western countries even involve themselves in this? I mean - Russia certainly is going to roll over Ukraine - how does it help anyone to arm them - isn't it just inviting more retaliation - isn't it making a bad problem even worse?
I want to create a platform that can help students to be better prepared for jobs. Based on my conversations with universities, resume preparation can take up to at least an hour per student for every revision. What if the platform/tool guides the student to create at least a well formatted resume so it helps to save the career counsellors time by 50%? And how can we help the students stand out if all resumes look the same?
Why would they care _after_ they've cut the deal?
I don't know, but it does seem self-contradictory to say it wasn't considered, because there's an implicit consideration in that, even if it's short lived.

SNOBOL4 on the other hand, was probably not considered at all.
So essentially the problem is they're sticking to their "violence is bad" policy when in this specific situation violence is maybe not bad.
> If we cook food in its own juices on an heated flat surface indoors, that would be a "griddle" or a "hot plate" -- that's what the commercial burger cooking machinery is called.

To me a hot plate is a (small, portable) substitute for a stove, rather than being the device you use to cook the food, which would rest on top of the stove or hot plate. They are best known for being something college students can smuggle into dorm rooms.

I occasionally visit a fondue restaurant which offers, among other options, a "grill" for the meat course, and the grill is a griddle (a lightly curved slab of iron rested on a heat source) with no cover.

You also make me curious what you think of the George Foreman Grill, which as I understand it is a ridged, hinged, self-heating griddle that you fold around whatever hopefully-flat thing you want to grill. Almost exactly the same as a waffle iron, except it's a "grill" instead.

Anyway, outdoor grilling is certainly a part of American culture, but the American concept of a "grill" is not restricted to that, and clearly includes cooking on a griddle.

(To your earlier point, I tend to agree that there are many words that basically just mean "cook", and the particular word used is determined by convention according to the object being cooked. Bread is baked; beef is not baked, even if what you do to the beef is identical to what you do to the bread.)
> those 90s kids are having second thoughts on the EU&West

Only the ones unable to succeed in modern times. Which is a quite incredible feat considering the astonishing wealth of opportunities the EU opening offered the Eastern Block.

How can you not succeed when you can move and work anywhere in the EU?! The only way I know is by being a child of ex-communist politicians, a child of Nomenklatura parents. The pain they feel is quite like the nostalgy Putin feels when remembering good old Soviet Union.
