It's not working great it seems. A few russian kids came on reddit expressing no hatred against ukraine, but being powerless due to the oligarchic structure of Russian politics. It might be a fake account I don't know. But with the recent risky protests.. actually I don't know what to say. It seems that propaganda is somehow deeper on non Russian groups. Lots of people in other countries are rooting for russia based on west past failures.
Oil isn’t optional. It’s the most important commodity in the world. Nobodies lifestyle on HN would be possible without it.

It’s the natural gas too. Europe needs natural gas for power. Is Europe’s supposed to deprive its citizens of electricity?
The Dollar may indeed weaken, but then Americans will not be able to afford to buy as much imported goods from other countries, which will hurt those exporters. China will probably lose the most.
What is your received translation/interpretation of the tweet?
McNamara Fallacy - thank you for posting this, it's extremely obvious, but seeing it in print is super helpful, and I think it's important for anyone working in a corporate setting to keep in mind
I guess you are right, was just weird to me, like ok I am not sure what Draghi did, but I think if you see that there are a bunch of people organising in order to help you, I would avoid making fun of them so publicly
If icelandic wasn't just an arbitrary example, if you speak English you can already communicate with 98% of Icelanders.
Reducing dependencies on rivals is a good idea. China is doing it because they know what they would do if they hold the dependency of a rival (like the US) firmly in hand. The US should take very serious heed of this because if we are too dependant on China for something critical it will eventually come to bite us. The supply troubles caused by the pandemic are a tiny foreshadowing of what will happen if we ever find ourselves too dependent on something important from a country like China.
I think Duolingo is good for learning vocabulary but should be supplemented with other forms of study.
now that oil is so expensive shouldn't all the fracking wells come back online? i thought for sure there was a price ceiling on a barrel of oil at around $75. Maybe it happened too fast to bring that capacity back online?
I mostly agree but I don't think it's unreasonable for an experienced developer with a bunch of languages on their toolbelt to learn OS development while learning a new language.
This would weaken the US and strengthen China, as China would prefer more countries use their alternative to SWIFT, CIPS.
The original implementation of Oberon was based on a Nominal Semidestructor 32032. Thanks for linking these more recent designs! Especially, I had no idea Oberon had been ported to RISC-V, which is very inspiring indeed!
Does anyone else find these mnemonics harder to remember than the actual thing itself? I see a lot of people online talk about this and something else for sines and cosines and it always seems really hard.

I’m not saying I’ve got some super memory. Just that remembering the actual expression is easy. The mnemonic is always longer and harder for me to recall.

I can picture the shapeform of the equation itself but cannot muster a single of the rhymes. I wonder if it is a difference in how we were trained as children.
Because of the added cost of living in Singapore? With a European salary it is unfortunately impossible to afford the cost, so it is nice to have it as a possibility.

> If you want an exception, then recognize and carve that out within the democratic process, not by preemptively applying authoritarianism.

You mean like I'm advocating for now? We've let it exist, and I am now advocating for it to be broken up - like I've been for a while.

Edit: I should specify - I am advocating for platforms at the scale of Facebook/Youtube/Twitter to be broken up in general, with an explicit preference towards federated services. We've let them run, and it's time for this generations round of trust busting. I'm am advocating for it to be run through a legal manner though, and discussed and acted upon via democratic means.

I think that all over comments on my gp we've gotten off topic, my email is available in my profile for anyone who wants to discuss this sort of thing further in any manner.
C++, Ada, and Rust would all be good choices if you want to use something other than C. The decision to me would come down more to the ecosystem.

C++ has in the last decade provided measures for memory safety. Online resources are plentiful and references are easy to get at a bookstore. There are many different compilers (a plus I'd say compared to the monocultures many languages have), but Clang and G++ are ones to look at in particular. They share many extensions to C++ which are useful in systems programming. Clang can be installed on Windows using MS Visual Studio, while G++ is Unix-like only. C++ has many different build systems to choose from, but CMake a common portable one.

Ada came from a similar time as C++. It focuses less on memory safety than Rust, but has more of a focus on overall program correctness. A subset of Ada, SPARK, can be formally verified. The language's culture has more of a focus on embedded systems than general systems programming, and has less of an online presence than the other two. You will have to use reference materials and books more than online guides compared to Rust or C++. The open-source compiler of note is GNAT, it supports both Windows and Unix-like systems. It comes with a build system.

Rust, as you probably know, has a huge focus on memory safety. Rust is in culture much more like newer languages such as Python. Forums are active, updates to the compiler are more frequent, and online resources are plentiful. The book describing the language is a living document available online, unlike the other languages listed. The compiler, build system, and package management system is the same for every supported platform. This to me is a big plus, though package management is not very important for kernel-level development.
The sanctions are theatre and will be lifted in a year or so.

If the West really cared Swift would have happened long ago.

The reality is they do not care for Ukraine.
World leaders are scared to give more weapons to Ukraine, let alone actually fight in that space.

Germany is having issues delivering the 5,000 promised helmets, let alone any arms deal to Ukrainians. Lets start with a more reasonable goal, like NATO countries standing together and actually arming the Ukrainians?

------

Ukrainians need more missiles to keep up their defenses. Politically speaking, that's where the discussion lies for now. Its unreasonable to expect the various world powers to give more than that right now... and seems like a political battle to even ask for this much.
Look at what happened to Sweden. Gangs, bombings, no-go areas, zero integration, all in the span of a few years. Look at what's happening in France. In fact, if you look anywhere where large migrations of non-culturally compatible populations have taken place, the result is always the same: mayhem.
It's always the UK. When will they get a clue and make their own nannyware? China does it. Russia does it.

Non-evaporating water will also radiate heat back out into the environment, meaning that less of the heat warming the bulk of the water goes into the actual evaporation process.
“Today a young man on acid realized…”
why is it that even in the face of evidence, people still give Russia so much benefit of the doubt? Putin has been playing chess since the early 2000s and is it so far fetched to think creating a dependence on its energy resources is definitely in his playbook at achieving its goal of attaining power and influence in the region?

I mean my god, have you not been paying attention to the migrant crisis, the funneling of Rosneft incentives to far-right political parties in Western Europe? It's all just a conspiracy to suggest these are successfully weakening the EU?
Don't forget the thin blue line. The pressure to not snitch among them is huge, and comes from the top. During my time in I watched all of the decent COs become alcoholics/drug addicts and ultimately quit. We had one decent 'counselor' out of 5, and she was forced out for unauthorized use of government resources because she printed out a compassionate release request during COVID because inmates we illegally denied access to the law library, something she was quite clearly legally not only allowed to do but was supposed to do as part of her job (there is even a federal schedule of what they are to charge us per page if it is not a hardship case). If you complain, you will receive diesel therapy as the lightest of retribution from the Federal government. Your cell will definitely get tossed every day until your cellies tire of that and beat your ass.
Is this the first big nation military conflict in the era of ubiquitous video streaming ?

It feels like this is de-staging the aggression, you see more details, you see more failures, it feels less impressive than past fights on TV for instance.
Perhaps a happy medium for Youtube and other content hosters might be to disaggregate content uploads into two buckets of service:

1.) Generalized content hosting that has minimal oversight with commenting, upvotes and monetization, etc. Basically "bring your own audience" Vimeo style.

2.) More carefully moderated content that gets reviewed by human moderators/stricter opinionated screening filters before it is pushed into the auto-recommendation engine/viral feed algorithm.

This blind viral content also based solely on uplikes seems a bit too blind/automated.
That sure seems to have worked out well in North Korea and Iran and Cuba and also the last time we tried it with Russia. The presence of external threats, in general, tend to strengthen support for dictators rather than to weaken them.
Isolating the people will lead them to viewing us as an outside group, and people can easily be made to hate another group. Isolating the people will only make it worse.
Is there any reason to make a line of inserters instead of using belts?
Hey, i too am a german and can confirm, that ur comment about our politic view is completly wrong. Even former kanzlerin Angela Merkel said, that we need to stoo putin now. So please stop activly missinforming people
>"Because the eco-zealotry overrides Ukrainian lives."

Do not be so dramatic. West never had problems with "overriding" human lives. It had killed millions without any repercussions.

I think he was being sarcastic/cheeky, and now that I think about it, I think it's even disrespectful for his own people, if I am correct that he was being sarcastic/cheeky, (someone confirm? Im italian so might miss something in english), can you even be sarcastic in a text that starts with

"Today at 10:30 am at the entrances to Chernihiv, Hostomel and Melitopol there were heavy fighting. People died."

I think the comment about the music is ridiculous, but the broader point about free money causing the gradual degradation of food, housing, standard of living, etc. is not without merit.
I think I clearly pointed out that there is misinformation and there is propaganda.

Yet those are classes of speech.

Let me point out that I was answering the call to stop these classes of speech nearly completely, using magic of Twitter and Facebook.
2019, from the former President of Georgia:

>Russia’s Next Land Grab Won’t Be in an Ex-Soviet State. It Will Be in Europe.
First he came for Georgia, then for Ukraine. Vladimir Putin’s next target is likely to be a non-NATO nation in the EU.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/03/15/russias-next-land-grab-...

>I do not expect Russian tanks to roll into Helsinki or Stockholm unopposed. But it would be relatively simple for Moscow to execute a land grab in a remote Arctic enclave or on a small island, like Sweden’s Gotland, considering the strategic capabilities Russia has built on its northern flank. After all, who would go to war over a frozen Baltic island or piece of Finland’s tundra? NATO wouldn’t, but Putin would—because the stakes are higher for him.
> Russian citizens like me will be hit hardest, as usual.

Not to sound disrespectful, but I think it's the Ukrainian citizens who perished or will perish who "will be hit hardest".

I know you have no personal choice in the matter, but still important to keep in mind the ongoing suffering.

I read and drew alongside Harold Speed's The Practice & Science of Drawing. It was a decent enough start, but, as with any art, resources pale in comparison to dedicated practice. Also, a community of likeminded creatives that are organized, dedicated, productive, and hopefully talented, stands much closer to dedicated practice than it does to resources.

India has its own interests (of course). During the Cold War, India was part of the Non-Aligned Movement, a coalition of countries which sought a third path, supporting neither side.

https://www.nti.org/education-center/treaties-and-regimes/no...

India is far from Ukraine and so doesn't have many geopolitical interests at stake, unlike European countries and (by very close alliances and relationships) the US.

India does have at stake the rules-based international order, for which a fundamental rule is respect for national sovereignty, and respect for the legitimacy of democracies. Sharing borders with Pakistan and China, India has a special interest in those.
I would think that at the point of precipitation, heating the lithium and not the water would be a relatively large loss of efficiency.

Minerals and plumbing can be bad news. There are systems for efficiently extracting water from brine via evaporation, but that requires a dilute brine to keep from gumming up.

I do wonder though if there’s a hybrid system here where you install solar panels next to the ponds, use the input pipes to cool the solar panels, and use the power for something like final processing or drying.
No fan of Russia, but to pretend that facebook is some neutral platform that isn't trying to push their own political agenda is naive.

FWIW, I see much more domestic harm in letting unchecked lies be spouted by US politicians and having that beamed into our minds non-stop then in allowing people to see atrocities committed by people on the other side of the world.

Yes that goes both ways, I'm an independent.

Edited again: Got too deep into politics on that first edit. Suffice it to say one party is worse than the other in my opinion, and that may color my POV. I still expect to see those who are lying or encouraging violence banned/fact-checked/whatever - on both sides equally.

If one side still has it happen more under those circumstances, I guess that says more about the side then the circumstance.
</us-pov>

Also, free speech isn't immunity from repercussions. If I say something incredibly dumb, I expect to be mocked. If I say something hateful/dangerous, I expect people to avoid being associated with me - including being banned under certain circumstances.
Just as a note, the majority of states give voting rights back right away or after awhile.

is proximity to the country that owns a transaction processing system relevant in a fully digital world?

Do you see India and Japan (and Vietnam and South Korea, all within the circle) joining a system controlled by China.

India has its own SWIFT alternative as a matter of fact
I picked up French to a fairly fluent level back when I was a Mormon missionary in about 6 months time. Being completely immersed (living in France, speaking/reading it daily) in the language was definitely a boon to learning it. Nothing I did in high school or college even approached that level.
I think by fair trial he means he doesn't want to be tried under the Espionage Act of 1917 which would allow the trial to be secretized, for the evidence to be withed from the jury etc. I'm writing the details from memory, so some might be inaccurate, but that's the gist I got.

We don't really need lithium for large-scale storage at all. The advantages of lithium batteries in terms of density are important for transport but irrelevant in fixed operation. Also, the round-trip efficiency of the storage isn't terribly important if you can arrange for an abundance of carbon-neutral input, which we can. So grid-scale decarbonization isn't really dependent on lithium, because it could use other kinds of batteries like iron-air or whatever.

Back in the 90s, a good software to use along with ARJ was F-Prot.

What this also seems to miss that most startups have a limited budget and thus a limited talent pool. While your existing team members might not be an "enthusiastic yes", to the superstar prospects the startup isn't either.
I'm sorry that this is the case, but, I'm pretty sure that's the idea. At this point, your government is not acting with anyone's best interest in mind, including that of its citizens. It's up to the rest of the world to make it clear what the consequences are for that, in the hopes that if your leaders don't change their mind on their own, you'll do it for them.
No, not at all. I don't claim to love and have compassion without backing it up.
If you make card payments, SWIFT won’t be what cuts the renewal.

If you make transfers, it may be temporarily interrupted or slower while your bank shifts their integrations. They plausibly have either accounts at the ECB, or relations to a bank that does.

We can't all fight every single battle there is. And it's not unreasonable to do a cost/benefit analysis on something like this. Dude just wants to live his life, he's already sacrificed quite a bit.
Limiting Facebook access also ensures that the Russians abroad who carry a voice against Putin in the language of their fellow citizens also get silenced/ignored. It's the bully closing his eyes to the damage he's doing, except that he's dragging 140 million people with him.
anyone knows how Russia limited the access?

Nah -- Bill Browder seems to be a expert on this exact topic. He's saying to pull Russia from Swift. His experience suggests he is intimately familiar with the financial world and the consequences.

He's the genesis of the Magnitsky Act -- the one thing that actually scares Putin. I know this because Putin even said if Russia was removed from Swift he would consider it an act of war.

If you position yourself as a full stack JavaScript developer and you think talking to 10 lines of non-JS front end code is too much out of a 1 hour long interview I'd be extremely suspicious of how much time you've spent on the front end half of JavaScript integration.
Yes, but they all have shorthand aliases.

When writing a script or documenting you use the long form, when using a shell you use short form.
The universal selector has the potential to be slower than other selectors in naïve CSS engines because CSS works by matching selectors from the right to the left. A rule like `.baz *` matches every element on the page (vs something like `.baz .foo` which only matches elements with `.foo`). The match is only rejected after walking up the DOM tree to the root node to see if any parent elements have the `.baz` class or not.

In the case of a single universal selector, there is no performance issue, the selector just matches every element, which is fine.

In modern engines, there is also no performance issue, they JIT compile selectors[0] and do other stuff to be fast. Even old engines wouldn’t really have a performance issue in practice unless you were doing something else bad, like having extremely deep DOM trees with extremely large numbers of elements.

For others like me who didn't know what the McNamara Fallacy is, here's a quote from its Wikipedia Page [1]:

"The McNamara fallacy (also known as the quantitative fallacy), named for Robert McNamara, the US Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, involves making a decision based solely on quantitative observations (or metrics) and ignoring all others. The reason given is often that these other observations cannot be proven."

OK? But I'm not sure of your point. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists doesn't know much more than the rest of us do about this. Anyone can tell you there's lots of nuclear weapons and that using them would lead to a massive social collapse. But a nuke hasn't been deployed in anger for nearly 80 years. In that time there's been countless natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts and social upheavals. I know what I'm planning for.
