America will do nothing except 'strongly condemn' what's happening, just like the rest of the world. The simple fact is that there is no real upside to risking actual war with Russia - that the Russians will dominate the Ukraine while walking away with a bloody nose (in the form of minor troop losses of its own) is a foregone conclusion. Without more, that's a localised conflict that Russia rather hilariously can try to claim the moral high ground about (NATO encroachment, historical alliances, American instability and foreign meddling), but if America or indeed any of the other nuclear powers gets involved, the risks increase massively very quickly. If two nuclear powers went at it properly here - I don't care which two - we enter into long-tailed territory and it's something we've simply never seen. There's absolutely no chance America or the UK risk that - they can get their wheat from somewhere else.

On the one hand, I feel bad for Ukrainians. On the other hand, the whole world saw it coming, just like we can see China invading Taiwan at some point in the future, and the calculus will be the exact same: Taiwan means more to China than it does to America, and the Ukraine means more to Russia than it does to the West.

It is perilous to fight somebody, whether it's Putin or Xi, with vested emotional interests in the subject matter of the fight when all you've got is ideology.

And so nothing will come of this except 'strong condemnations'. As if any strongman ever gave a fuck.

Well, hang on - there weren't any people who could literally turn you into a toad, but I'm sure there were as many witches (people who believed in that stuff) then as there are now.
This reminds me of Shashi Tharoor's [0] speech at Oxford Union.

This also works in most apps, unless they’re using some weird nonstandard UI (which is, perhaps surprisingly, less common on iOS than on macOS). And it works with Reachability. Neither of which are especially discoverable, but super handy if you know about them.
Very interesting website. I would never have imagined a 21st actor to have a webpage that looks like that of a professor from the mid 1990s. Hiroshi Abe is also an excellent actor -- Still Walking and After the Storm (both directed by Hirokazu Koreeda) are two very enjoyable films I've seen.

I think you underestimate how easy it will be to take control of the government and country.

Ukraine knew that they would be able to take Kyiv quickly. Intelligence sources have been saying that for weeks. They (Ukraine and it's friends) have been preparing for this - openly talking about partisan style resistance.

I'm willing to bet that they need to seize pretty close to the entire country to maintain any sort of control.
I doubt that's going to happen. China has refused to even call this an invasion, and has said that it's the West's fault.
It's a matter of when.
While the Sarcophagus and New Safe Confinement structure around the reactor contains the worst of the fallout, most of the contamination in the surrounding area was simply buried underground using bulldozers and earth-moving equipment. Explosions risk kicking up that contamination from the soil.
It's technically possible. You can imagine a company with exactly 100 shares, and a contract that allows the company a right to buy any share put up for sale pre-IPO for $1. Then all 100 shares are "worth" a dollar, even if the price in the market without that clause would be $20MM. That would correspond to a $2 billion valuation.
It's good that Iraq and Afghanistan was worth a war, just Ukraine not so much

But regardless of whether that moves you or not, you should take in the point that by being an asshole in the comments, you're creating the very situation that is presumably frustrating you in the first place, by discrediting the view that you believe to be the truth.

The tags system works for specific areas. For example, tags in photo management apps are great. But they don't really work across separate domains, so what you want is top-level hierarchy, and, where needed, tags for the subtrees. That's how existing tag systems work.

> Personally, I wouldn't pay those prices to hide the data scientist's problems

I have data scientists that work for me that have this problem. I'd rather that everyone I hire wrote the kind of code I want out of the box, but for lots of reasons it's not always possible. I have tried enforcing frameworks and ended up wasting more money trying to get people to change their workflow. A developer or data scientist (even an inexperienced one) is expensive enough that $30/mo is nothing if it makes them more productive. I'd guess this is what the company is banking on.

(You'll see I made another comment where i say i don't like their pricing model, this is a matter of principle because I don't believe in just trying to wrap a program in SaaS in order to get more money without offering something beyond "you can run my code if you pay me". But the cost / benefit is still easy to justify)
You mean for Russians in Donbass region, right? There were 13 thousands civilians killed there over 8 years.
Markets provide availability of goods, as long as you can accept price variability.

I'll reiterate for safety and land I think these things fail for the reason I mentioned originally.

Healthcare I could certainly see working in a mostly market led way, I'm personally from the UK (So extra heretical to say)

Food is a bad example, as availability is ultra high. Fresh produce is scarce in areas due to low demand. Low demand leads to higher prices.
So do you jam the chip into the parallel port? Or do you...use an adapter?
This is that classic "you can't grow old forests" problem.

If someone needed a car to get to work, you would never think of providing them with a brand new one. But we are kind of in that situation with housing.

I think the city could have saved a bunch of money here sourcing existing housing, then putting the savings into funding general new construction. But a $100 million kickback to a developer to add 1500 units is somehow less politically popular than $1 billion dollars for 1200 units.
Yes, I think this will galvanize fence-sitters into accelerating the process of joining NATO, which is counterproductive for Russia.

> My salary is embarassing, but it's not even the company's fault, I'm costing my company ~2.5x what I make.

That's not horrifically abnormal. A 2x multiplier on salary is considered standard in the US for the cost to an employer. If you make 20% less than a US counterpart, the company is breaking even.
That's an interesting thought, when you think about long term survival of a species, how much does all this technology help?
If you think about humans surviving the same asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, I think we would have a good chance, some people would stay in underground bunkers and eventually repopulate the Earth, but the majority of the population would probably die, and a lot of technological progress would be lost.

Scientists Have Discovered an Exotic Magnetic State of Matter
I don't have any links handy, but this is what I remember as I read these things over the years:

- Drivers match the binary name (and CRC32 of said binary sometimes if the name checks out) to trigger game, and game version specific "hacks" or optimizations in the driver.

- These can be small bug fixes for Z flicker or performance enhancements like fill dithering or other more advanced hacks. nVidia once "Optimized" 3DMark to errm... render the benchmark more fluidly I may say (They got caught, BTW).

- There are more advanced "behavioral changes" which alters internal behavior of the driver to improve game performance (a version of the Crysis engine called something expensive too often, and it had no visual impact, so nVidia's driver ignored most of them intelligently and game ran significantly faster for that, IIRC) or use a more optimal memory copy/access strategy than the game declares. Sometimes nVidia's driver takes its own initiative and does the things as it pleases, again if I recall this correctly. It's not impossible that a driver version uses optimized shaders or other hidden hacks to increase performance of a certain game (or contain optimized routines which work better for a particular game).

- Other than that, sometimes drivers allow some games to access more information than an ordinary application to allow higher performance via hacky or dangerous code paths, but they're almost considered as trade secrets. Sometimes game engines abuse the driver behavior too, but it's again "secret sauce" and nobody talks about them in the open much.

I remember reading such things for Need For Speed III, Quake III, A Crysis franchise game. Again, Doom III is criticized for being developed too nVidia specific (Carmack openly likes nVidia more IIRC).

This information is collated from my readings, past memory, some chats with a close friend who develops a game engine, and some other channels I had access in the past.
Yeah, fuck this audio, it literally made me rip my earbuds out because it was so loud and unexpected. Straight up asshole design.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, we were willing to fight (and eventually did fight) a war with Iraq.

NATO is not prepared or willing to start a war with Russia.

What you're describing is setting up a shooting conflict between nuclear powers. That is bad. Like really bad. It doesn't matter who shoots first because everyone dies.
The US is the only country that used nukes.
Do what the enemy thinks you are too smart to do.
I see a difference between bugs and design flaws.
The US did not control either Iraq nor Afghanistan when they took Baghdad or Kabul, respectively. That‘s not how a much weaker force fights nowadays against the more powerful opponent.
Total democracy is mob rule of the majority.
The US makes empty promises. Read the Budapest memorandum in which we made security guarantees so Ukraine would give up its nuclear arsenal[0]. Russian aggression would certainly be much more calculated if Ukraine still had that capability.

I know what it is, but does that have to do with Intel’s problems? Sohail and Dadi probably did not think about Basis Peak for more than 10 minutes over the entire period Intel operated the brand
I don't think it is either or, NATO is just a symbol for western alignment which reaches the same ends you describe. Beyond whatever foundational context, the three conflicts related the Ukraine and Georgia were precipitated by this (specifically most recently with the Brussels summit in 2021) which suggests it is a very definitive line in the sand, regardless of whether or not it is the actual reasoning. This is the third time the west has tested that line, it is the third time Russia has responded in this way, and it will most likely be the third time the West does nothing but implement sanctions because it isn't as important to them as it is to Russia.

This isn't a justification for actions, it is about understanding the situation through the chaos.

Foreign policy is more determined by consolidated power. And system of government doesn’t determine consolidation of power. The US had a very different global role before the world wars of the 20th century. It wasn’t because the US allowed women to vote that it became a superpower, for instance. North Korea is not insular because it’s an autocracy, it’s because it’s a vassal state of China and has no capability to exert its will independently in any meaningful way - arguably they would take the South given the elbow room. Throughout the globe and time you can point to plenty of autocratic nations with expansive foreign policy - not just meddling in other nations with kinetic actions but attempting to subsume entire territories into their own empire/nation. That this happens regardless of governing system seems to demonstrate that there is no strong deterministic bond there. I’m not saying there’s no indirect link - I tend to think that democracies when done right (separation of powers, rule of law, free and fair elections) make a country less brittle in the face of organic seasonal challenges - think agricultural society vs hunter gatherers. Being less brittle to the daily challenges may give them the adaptability to survive longer than the cresting and crashing empires. Maintaining continuity/momentum is beneficial to consolidating power, so there may be an indirect link. TBD. Democracies fall in on themselves too. Pure democracies in particular, implying pure democracy is probably not the ideal end state we should imagine ourselves working towards.
It is a bit easier fighting caveman jihadist and third class dictators with outdated military, than a nuclear superpower.
No, I wouldn't be surprised, that's why I used the word "planning" instead of "assuming" or "leaving them to..." As the saying goes, "Failing to plan is planning to fail."

In SF you have to account for the fact that the city is de facto prohibited from spending money on anything other than piecemeal programs, not to mention the upkeep and staffing to alleviate the deterioration of existing housing options. Every few years somebody manages to convince enough Supervisors that they've found a silver bullet and to give them some money for a meager pilot program to help a hard problem that requires actual money, experts, and priority. Oh, but there's pushback from $300K/yr techbros who have lived in SF for over two years and are sure it's all gone out of control ever since they had to step over a needle once. There are lots of knowledgeable and motivated people working in homeless and drug outreach along with related organizations that have like zero dollars. I'm not one of these experts and experienced people, but I'm pretty sure they should be funded and integrated more into an overall program.

In Sacramento they're preparing to kick people out of their hotel program, but the Sheriff is waiting with bated breath right outside the door: https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article258051333.html I half expect them to describe putting the homeless in jail as a savings.
> Guessing if they measured satisfaction on a scale, the majority were clustered near the "no major change" camp, as with any gaussian curve.

They did measure satisfaction on a scale. From page four of the report:

> Students responded on a sliding scale of 0–100 with five labelled categories,
‘Much worse’, ‘Slightly worse’, ‘The same’, ‘Slightly better’, and ‘Much better’, anchored at scores 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100, respectively. We simplified the scale in this analysis by transforming it into groups of those doing ‘worse’ (scores 0–37.5 on the sliding scale), ‘the same’ (scores 37.6–62.5), or ‘better’
(scores 62.6–100) (N.B. categories are not evenly divided due to how the scale is presented in the survey; please see https://osf.io/fpbt3/ for an example of the survey scales).

Fitting a normal distribution with 1/3 of the volume in the 37.6–62.5 range ends up with 1/5 of respondents above the "Slightly better" mark (i.e. above 75).
You underestimate the amount of nuclear material that's still in the ground around there. Vaporizing that isn't a great idea.
It’s funny that you take offense with my use of “rein in”, then proceed to complain about the “inane and redundant” comments that junior developers write, amongst other pretty minor complaints about your colleagues.

What is it you thought I meant by “rein in”? To crush their dreams and impose my will on them? What I meant was that it can take a lot of work to make sure they produce good designs and high quality code, because they don’t have the experience to do it on their own a lot of the time.
Yes, absolutely. Expect both centralized and stochastic attacks on a broad spectrum from physical infrastructure to propaganda.

I doubt that Russia can hold Ukraine for long. Once Putin is gone, everything he accomplished will fade away quickly.
FWIW grapeseed oil is the absolute worst you could use if PUFAs are bad. It's >80% PUFA, higher than any other.

Of course that's based on two suppositions: 1) that the reason soybean oil is bad in this study is its PUFA content, and 2) that it's also bad for humans, not just mice.
Vegetable Oil (as mentioned in another comment) is largely soybean oil
That's how it's been since 2014. And that's why Putin feels so bold - he's already been down this road, and he knows it's not as scary as they try to make it look like. To scare him off, something bigger would be required - but looks like there's not much. Even SWIFT restrictions are a no go. The most the West can do is slap some personal sanctions on a couple of billionaire oligarchs (which can very well sit it out in Russia) and on some Russian banks (which probably also can stomach it for years).
CIPS is not an "equivalent of SWIFT" by a long shot. It definitely helps soften the blow of any potential SWIFT sanctions but that doesn't mean losing SWIFT access would be a non-issue.
Oils are not an essential nutrient. But many people claim to have a cultural exemption from a decent diet nowadays.

Totally agree. Just clarifying that the limiting factor on international responses isn’t Ukraine’s NATO nonmembership.
No corn syrup or seed oil sounds like a wise choice. What do you do about eating at restaurants? Just avoid dishes that are likely offenders? And soybeans themselves, as well as unfermented tofu, is OK?
Also, either side would be pretty reluctant to bomb it, or otherwise battle too hard close to it. It's a great position to hold if you can.
> Chernobyl sarcophagus is a massive pile of concrete - basically indestructible.

This is such an hilariously uneducated take that it has to be trolling.

Let's set aside the facts that the sarcophagus' 20-30 year estimated lifetime has already expired, and has previously partially collapsed, and has had to be replaced by the New Safe Confinement structure. A stray artillery shell will tear apart any 36 year old building that was structurally weakened by an explosion, concrete or not.
