I suggest few things:

- aggression of foreign countries regularly happen, did you remember Iraq with the lie of mass destruction/chemical/biological weapons? Afghanistan with the lie that it protect Osama Bin laden? Libya and Syria in a more "European" way (witch means a bit less publicly announced, with more discretion and low information). Ukraine is just the last one in a long row;

- in all west, and almost all the world, protests against neo-liberal govs have spread to a point that many fear (counter)putsch by angry crowds, now they are almost silenced;

- EU, after decades of push and pull, was about to consider Russian Fed. a partner, now they are back under the NATO umbrella witch actually is more harmful than useful for us Europeans...

- China is the actual winner: with Russia blocked by the wast China is it's sole strong partner option, and for China that means the ability to access far more natural resources from Russia and also far more hi tech military gear and skill, perhaps to a point of being able to technologically surpass USA, a thing so far impossible;

- with the war, hyperinflation, energy issues etc became "because of the war" instead of "to push the Green New Deal".

Long story short: most government of the world need a war, most people of the world need peace. But as always most people are unable to see their own enemy, not the other peer with a different uniform on the opposite side of the front but the one well at their own army head.

This very post is part of that propaganda: asking people to fight an in-winnable, and already obviously lost war, is asking to damage themselves for the sake of the west. Much like what happen in WWII in UE, where "the allied" decide to destroy anything, their own soldiers life included, to face devastated countries far easier to be politically conquered thereafter. If Ukrainian do want the good for their own country since it's evident that the war is lost they should not fight but instead welcome the winner and do their best to became part of it's establishment, doing so let them protect their country in the immediate from war destruction, in the short terms in sovereignty terms (anyone can oppress, but you can oppress more a devastated and defeated enemy than one that's welcome you), and in mean/long term sabotaging the invader from the inside.

Did you see colorful revolution? The so called "Arab springs"? Di you try too see the cui prodest (who benefit from them)? Well, now the plot is essentially the very same and the fact that the blackbird is actually black does not means that the crow is of another color. The very first thing to do to win a war is understand what's your enemy. The enemy actually is at our head as of the one at Russian head. It have a name: neoliberalism. The same people that try a nazi putsch in the USA in the '30s (JP Morgan -led), the same one that help original nazi even when the WWII was already started (from IBM to Standard Oil), the same mind behind "Operation Unthinkable" and "Operation Dropshot". The same who kill millions of Americans and British soldiers for their own profit.

Unlike say Germany, which believes in minding its own business and looking out for its own interests.
Well if they didn't close down all the anonymous BTC marketplaces they would have been able to turn they cryptomoney into defense like weapons and LSD.
Right here, debating with y’all the merits of tabs versus spaces.
We are at a cross roads, and what will happen next relies a lot on people that should never have had that much power to begin with.
I always thought it was fun finding the shortcuts.
This comment has basically no basis in reality.
I don’t think so. IKEA stuff is way better than cheap crap in other places. Most of their furniture has a long production run and gets tweaked, etc.

The chipboard crap at most places is here today gone tomorrow. You may not like something about a Billy bookcase, but it’s known.
> I think many germans are feeling pressure for the first time in their lives, and for the first time in modern german history they have to sacrifice comfort in order to do their part.

And here we are with the "weak westerners" trope. I can't count the jokes about Germans being to soft to manage slightly colder rooms in the last two days. You perpuate this in the same comment I which you claim there is absolutely just pure love for Germany, nothing else.

And then the whole Germany isn't doing anything. They spend 50 billions on the military each year. The added another 100 billion on top now. They support all sanctions, including SWIFT.

Still not enough? Why? What else? Do you want them to march on Moscow again? Kill another 26 million Russians?

Why are you trying to act like all the negativity towards Germany does not exist? I'm not saying you hate Germany, I'm not saying everyone hates Germany, but just look around. Think about all the examples I gave you for a second. From the German perspective, they sure get a lot of shit for everything the do and not too much recognition either.

Nobody is even mentioning France and Italy, who were also opposed to SWIFT exclusion.

Remember, this discussion started by me saying that I don't see Germany loving the idea of a unified army, given the internal differences in the EU and the way many people from other countries like to hate on Germany. You have continuously just denied that. You think Germany and Poland can happily fight for freedom together, when in Poland that freedom does not extend to women with unwanted pregnancy? You think Germans want to die in the trenches for Orban, who is stealing their money? For people who are openly racist against Muslims?
In a unified EU army, can I even trust that this army will always be used for defense? Or do I have to support Poland's phanasies of drowning refugees in the Mediterranean sea?

Don't get me wrong, standing together against Putin is easy and we are all in. But I don't think Germans want their soldiers be controlled via the EU, in which PIS and Orban would get a say one who they should kill.
Two the most astonishing things about humanity I learned in the last decade:

there are grown up people who can't follow simple graphic instruction to assemble a piece of furniture

there are grown up people who can't insert a duvet in it's cover... and they are proud of it
Kasparov ran to be elected, probably knowing, that he wont win the election, but to show the world as a public figure, how things go in Russia. Days before the election, if I remember correctly, he was detained by the police, like many people are, whom Putler doesn't like.

Kasparov was always the more intelligent one of the two. But of course he does not have the support of all the corrupt people, and election practices in Russia are not the best. Like opposition candidates not being allowed to run [1].

He has been warning us about Putler for a long time. Probably many people have warned us and anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the last decade or so, would have realized, what a madman is in power there.

my translation of Deripaska's tweet:

"Piece is very important! Negotiations should start as soon as possible!"

It is compatible with the official (is TASS official nowadays?) Russian position

Hard to tell if it represents a genuine will to back out of a terrible situation or an effort to weaken the Ukrainian resistance. Could be both off course.
The S.L.A._Marshall thing is interesting. There's a link elsewhere on this page of a column of Russian tanks being stopped by Ukrainian traffic cops.
Solo Along the Ukrainian-Russian Border, One Day Before War
Also, recommend Baudrillard's Symbollic Exchange and Death for how this fantasy of immortality poses a devastating problem to Western society.

Seeing that you've mentioned Taylor's A Secular Age, maybe I should start reading it (it's been on my reading list for some time, but this renewed my curiosity as his studies seem to be closely related to what thinkers like Bataille and Baudrillard has problematized in political economy)
You can google for the key terms: "programmed instruction" and "programmed learning". These were popular, I loved them too. I remember some had a tear-out flap so you could hide the answer while you're reading the text!

The Little Schemer uses programmed instruction.
Ukraine is doing better than everybody expected. But the good news are always closer and closer to Kiyv, closer and closer to Odessa, etc.

Russia is bungling forward, but it’s gaining ground.
I don’t know what delusional dream world you live in, but back in the real world cash exchangers in Kyiv have been processing bigger amounts on a daily basis.

Just a few months ago I was able to get 100k USD in cash a couple of hours after contacting a local exchanger. Fee was around 1%.

Of course they can also sell at any regular international exchange.
Dualism will lead to only a very basic understanding of existence. Death, nor cancer, are good or bad. Jesus might have had the whole thing wrong after all. Of maybe humanity, as its so often does, misinterpreted His teaching.

Before we knew about cancer, and yes there was a time we did not know what cancer was, was canned good or bad? Did we even see natural death as bad? So where did these constructs come from?

And now I guess you are saying immortality is good? Good for who? Overpopulation is already an issue, imagine if no one died!!

You cannot create a good thing without also creating a bad thing. That is just the way it is.
The failures in logistics in the current escapade show he has surrounded himself by yes men IMO
Effectively we've been in World War III for a week or so but that realization does not seem to want to sink in yet. Europe is quite literally the battlefield of the world, we dodged a bullet in former Yugoslavia and may well dodge another one but it is definitely one of the most scary things I've lived through to date.
Once, when I was younger, I got my fingers on copy of the Nazis guide to stay behind forces, their Werewolf forces to fight the advancing alies. Obviously they never did that. Even to my untrained, and young, eyes it was nothing revoltionary. Stuff like melt away into the population, hide weapons, strike the enemies rear. Funny enough, the copy I read was, as far as I remember, almost a political.

The Pentagon has published field manuals on the same topic. I would also assume that a lot of Soviet documents would be available since the disolution of the USSR, their military maps are even available as an app. Pretty usefull, and quite funny how accurate those maps are for Germany...
The US, EU and their allies can easily make this happen.

Can they? These days, China looks a much better option for a young ambitious scientist than the US. That said, if the war for control in the Ukraine brings more competition between the major powers I'm all for it, monopolies never did anyone any good, this includes the Wolfowitz doctrine.
Ukraine has far more in common with Russia culturally than with America. My dad worked extensively in Ukraine doing public health development. He was remarking to me the other day how even though it and Russia purported to be part of Europe, they reminded him much more of the developing nations in Asia that he’s worked in than Western Europe.
Because electrical things are more efficient, cleaner and cheaper and just generally better than any alternative that burns fossil fuels directly, so less fossil fuels get burned and less fossil fuels get bought and oil-based economies can't get away with flying 747s into tall buildings or invading their neighbours any more. I don't think this is particularly complicated, but I did just link to a whole book on the topic if you're not getting the general gist.
It loaded for me (mobile Safari, private relay)
Only the absolutely cheapest stuff is structural cardboard or particle board or MDF. One exception is probably the PAX series of wardrobe/closet system, which is relatively expensive though it's veneered particle board. The kitchen cabinets are also MDF, but relatively cheap. Definitely cheaper than most competing modular systems (that tend to also be MDF these days).

But a lot of their furniture is solid wood.
Yes, because I am not convinced that the Russian motivation was just "to overthrow democratically elected government". I have seen years of lies about the operations my own country has been involved in, and do not trust "journalists" to not push an agenda. Is there no primary source in which the Russians state their motives?

Is it really enough for so many people to just think "Putin bad man" and not consider that his country might have a legitimate reason for invading another state?
The question isn’t what it does for Ukraine (I imagine that’s clear enough); it’s what NATO risks vs what it gains.
Is this not something that is enabled by default on all macOS installs? Cmd + ` has been something I've used for ever. No 3rd party app required.
Wouldn't they be able to leverage all parts made for the USA?
I am and am also experiencing this issue. How did you know? Is Cloudflare down?
One conclusion is that Avast has Russian interests that they are unwilling to upset.
You're trusting the perspective of other people who are biased as well, and it's more about indigenous communities around the world rather than just Bangladesh.

There are many communities whose opinions and perspectives we just seem to ignore and we trust the "western" institutions who make publications on such matters

I'm not talking about how "wealthy" a community is in terms of material gains or technological improvements.

Communities see changes in their fundamental way of life due to industrialization which impacts their relationships with each other and their natural environments which, on average, seem to be worse than what they were doing before.

All of this industrialization comes from people wanting more profit, and we see working conditions and level of pay that would be unacceptable in the US but people write it off as being "okay" because "they're a developing nation" or "its a third world country" when the real reason is greed and a desire to skirt local regulations.
It's definitely a symbolic gesture, but it's not a reaction to any threat of a first strike nuclear assault by NATO. The symbolic meaning is "I'm the craziest guy in the room, don't fuck with me".
It's a labyrinth, not a maze. There is a single path, but it's circuitous.
I guess it depends on how much you can get away with.

For guys with guns, those are guys with guns. For drones, it is hard to prove it's not Ukrainians flying those TB2s or how many they have or anything.

Getting away with Patriot or few A-10's being on vacation might be hard.
I despise IKEA manuals, too. I refer to them as "Swedish hieroglyphics." The couple of times I've bought IKEA furniture for my own place, I've had people deliver and assemble it for me.
Ok, how about if all efforts are aimed only at eliminating sickness and suffering?

If somehow that were possible for all ages would you be for that?

Then, since death is not a problem we could just “schedule” it for some reasonable date in the future to retain all the philosophical benefits it brings? You first?

Help Ukraine to survive
Definitely not my intent. I just think that if you are going to spread medical advice like that that maybe you should think twice about it, what works for you will not necessarily work for others and that is a caveat you did not add. 'thank me later' implies a guarantee that it will work.
Are you sure you are not mistaking dependency injection with dependency injection containers?
That anger should be directed towards those that ignored and strengthened ties to Putin and his friends. There are many risks when supporting an autocratic regime. Germans will see these risks play out.
Nope, no APIs - instead, I've focussed on a smooth workflow for statement uploads and options for manual transaction reporting.

I actually had a look around for APIs, and couldn't find anything that fitted with what I was trying to do: most services are specific to certain countries, and even with the various Open Banking initiatives around the world coverage is still limited and password storage upstream is often required (Plaid is obviously the standout here, although there are competitors and regional equivalents). That's expressly what I'm trying to avoid: ideally all of that could be managed locally in the browser, but until it can I'm not expecting to use it.
Reminds me of this: "Who Owns My Name? | Hacker News." 27 Feb. 2022, news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28007547.

It's always "The Amanda Knox" story, never mentioning the actual convicted perpetrator's name, Rude Guede.
I've been using Claws-mail[0] for a couple of years now. It is ugly, but gets the job done. It is simple, can index tens of thousands of email, has native support for GPG, and, most importantly, it's super lightweight.

Downsides: bad support for HTML emails; calendar integration is not good; it is single-threaded, so you can't do a lot of things simultaneously (like fetching work e-mail and browsing personal mails), but this is not a huge problem IMO.

Merkel said once that Putin is a leader using 19th-century methods in the 21st century. I don't know how far he can go just to maintain his ego, but this is starting to freak me out.
"I mean any launch by Russia will be declaration of war on everyone.'

Depends on the target. If its the Ukraine -- maybe not.
pfff. Even if any one believes the "will stay grounded" part, that's Belarus teritory.. The distances are minutes for fighter jets..
Yo! I encourage you to read down to the "what NOT to do" section.

This type of bickering is exactly what I'm trying to convince people to avoid.

I think we should take this moment to acknowledge what lots of people agree on, energy independence is good for security.

I'm trying to make the website neutral, but its hard in the current political climate. I think liberals need to accept that energy independence is good even if it doesn't come 100% renewable. And also trying to rally conservatives to accept that renewables are a longer term play, but are kind of the only option for nations that have no domestic oil reserves.

But that is kind of all irrelevant right now, Russia could cut off gas from Europe today! I'm trying to prevent us from being caught with our pants down and having to cave an otherwise pretty united international response.
"Lack" coffee tables are actually made out of cardboard, with acrylic coating and some particle board in the critical spots. You can actually punch right through one of those tables quite easily if you try, but for static loads the honeycomb cardboard filling is extremely strong, to the point that you can stand on top of it.
You could have replaced your two paragraphs with two words, "Ukraine, surrender".

However I disagree. To broad-brush it, I think Ukraine's war is a just war (as in morally justified).
> But a lot of piracy happens with publicly downloadable files, which MEGA can definitely decrypt and search for copyright violations

How would MEGA do this, without crawling the web looking for links + keys? Which is certainly something they'd have no interest in doing.

Naturally, I'm sure that third party "rights enforcement" companies might trawl for these links and look for infringing content and issue a takedown notice to MEGA, but there must be an ongoing arms race between people sharing links+keys and the bots crawling for them.
It solves tomorrow's problem. Currently most electrical grids are moving to less carbon intensive electricity generation methods ( even if many still use coal, oil and gas power plants), and if you electrify now, your carbon emissions will drop with the grid's, and the job of "greenify"-ing everything would be done.

Furthermore, if you live in a country where electricity produces very low amounts of carbon ( like France or the Nordics), it already makes sense.
Europe would have a responsibility to their people to do what’s best for them.
Computer Systems, a Programmer's Perspective

Especially chapters about virtual memory and memory hierarchy and the one about processes and traps.. I didn't know anything about these things when I started reading the book.
Most ways of conducting urban warfare bode very ill for the population. The article seems to conclude they'll use a prolonged siege and artillery/rockets approach, and contrasts with the Western approach which is large-scale aerial bombardment.

I forgot to add that happens when the outdoor temperature is below maybe 10F. We deal with it by leaving curtains open.

What kind of outdoor temps do you have? Maybe I’m newly interested in triple glaze.
Potential Nuclear war scenario between NATO and Russia
MAD as per its namesake rested on the sanity of leadership. It was the accepted Sword of Democles and a guarantee that those entrusted with global power subscribed to a basic level of common sense: Give into aggressive instincts and die.

Suddenly this guarantee which has brought us if not peace then a little breathing room was torn like a thin veneer. We have had 70 years to get our act together, dealing with the consequences that drumfire and shellshock of two world wars had on the European subconscious mind.
I think this is a pretty well known hack but the durability of IKEA furniture increases dramatically with one simple trick, which is to glue everything together when you assemble it.

Just get a bottle of very good wood glue like Titebond III and apply it to every surface that touches another surface while you’re putting it together and most of the shaky fall apart if you lean on it qualities can be eliminated.
Assuming you are genuine, there's plenty of sensible advice out there already on how to cut your fossil fuel usage. Linking that to the current story of Russia's oligarchs using their fossil profits to invade and kill democratic neighbours gives people an impetus to do things that will actually make their own life better, but that they may not have heard about, because right-wing propaganda has drowned it out.

As I shared recently, most countries will have the equivalent of

https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/energy-at-home/

Which will tell you ways to save money, and keep your house warmer while also reducing fossil fuel usage. Find and disseminate that, the wider knowledge of fossil fuels being an expensive con will do more to destabilize Putin than anything I've read on your page currently.

If you want people to tie it closer to Ukraine, point out that these sites will often tell you how much money you will save by making these choices, get people to donate that money to Ukraine or an organisation that is helping us to move off fossil fuels.
You think second gen will include VRR?
> The US gets away with Imperial units

No, it doesn’t.

The US gets away with US Customary units.

Some of those happen to be defined identically to Imperial units, and some of those that aren't have identical names but different definitions. But it's a different system of units.
The best is that when it comes full circle and the customer doesn’t even recognize what is being proposed as an answer to the same problem, accepts it with the understanding that it’s going to advance the product in a different direction, but is still quietly waiting for you to solve the first problem they asked about.
It would have to be very subtle trolling since mentioning a certain pipe in Canada would definitely have rustled some jimmies.
How is alt-tabbing near useless? I find it quite easy/simple. The fact that I often have my left hand on the keyboard and my right hand on the mouse makes it even easier with a quick cmd-tab while leaving the cmd key pressed so that I can mouse click the app icon I want directly without mulitple cmd-tab clicks to cycle to what I want very convenient.
