>You like to argue, but no one seems to agree with you.

I'm not offended

I do like to argue. A better way to put it, is I like to talk to people and convince people on a viewpoint I truly believe in while at the same time I'm open to learning as well.

Whether someone agrees with me or not doesn't correlate with whether I'm right. That is the point. And I am right and you are wrong.

You view international politics from the microcosm of US news. The entire population of Asia which outnumbers the US population by a huge number has a more nuanced and complicated view of the situation.

Dismissing China as evil or putin as crazy is an oversimplification.

Think bigger.
Or you could use Dessert Shield as a case study which has turned into pointless and incredibly long-lived war fronts.
Also if you're a diligent red teamer, you're investigating the impact of your attacks to understand the noise you're generating. That's fundamental to evasion and persistence. Easy to deploy the same knowledge in a defensive context.
How does the first sentence follow from the second? The possibility that a company does good "in the grand arc of time" is no excuse for not holding them to the law.

Now if you're saying "negative effects", then comparing to longrun impacts is fine. But "abuses" is a much stronger claim, and enforcement needn't have anything to do with estimates of longterm benefit.
Get your gallbladder checked. Oil causes the gallbladder to squeeze bile. If you have instruction (stones/polyp), the obstruction causes inflammation.

That inflammation (chole ystitis) can cause a plethora of health issues.

Some oils trigger more output of bile than others. Do not consider all fat sources equal when it comes to bile production from the gallbladder.

I had gallbladder issues for many years, before classic signs appeared. I had cognitive decline, general discomfort, fatigue, rapid heart rate, secondary infections, and other non typical indicators that in retrospect were due to my gallbladder. Typical symptoms appeared very close to when I was able to identify the source. Unfortunately, if left untreated, it can rupture and kill a person, albeit rarely.

Either way, I wish you the best.

PS: In the USA you can get an ultrsound for $140. False positives and negatives do occur. Some people have no noticable pathologies, yet removal of the gallbladder alleviates gastro intestinal symptoms.
This is an interesting observation - I decided to look it up, and indeed the first presidential cabinet (including the president) had five members: the others were the Secretaries of State, War, and Treasury, and the Attorney General.

Probably I'm just naive but I really don't understand this cyber warfare theater. Why aren't all internet operators in the free world just blackholing all russian ASNs (complete with the other allied bullies) from the internet routing tables? Wouldn't this be enough to avert all the nasty attacks on critical infrastructure?
Ok, thanks for the correction. I think I understood where I went wrong - Dr. Hsu's algorithm for traversing up a tree to the root uses this, using = as the right argument so it's a fixpoint, but it only happens that in this case the left operand to the power operator is piecewise. So sometimes this can (at least in theory) be efficiently compiled to compute shader, in other cases not.
You scroll as far as the browser lets you. Then the page resizes, and you scroll again. If you know you were about 5 pages down, this is shedloads faster than scrolling by hand like a chump.
Yeah good point. I didn't realize what you meant. I thought you meant Taiwan should take a scorched earth policy, but you're really saying that Taiwan should advertise this policy as a defensive measure. Whether they carry it out is a different matter.

Makes sense.
For me, minimal setup means installing on a fresh machine.
At this point, my vimrc automatically installs plugins if they're not installed.. otherwise it's one command. So it's just copy/paste and maybe one run command, and then vim environment is exactly the same on the new machine (it auto downloads).
See my comment about the gallbladder please.
Putin'); DROP DATABASE RUSSIA; --
I just typed it in on many web browsers, tor, VPNs etc and it turns out that RT.com is still up.

So it’s mission failed successfully?
> This development is a tactical prerequisite for besieging or attacking Kyiv. The exclusion zone covers the shortest route to the city from Belarus - the shortest route available to Russian forces.

Most probably this + the area being relatively empty makes it easier to pass through.

As a slav (balkans), chernobyl to me personally just represents the corruption and totaly failure of communism, where everything has to look great, but what's underneath the facade, doesn't matter. If things fail, you can usually just lie about that... like they did with chernobyl too.

> I hope desperately that Ukraine gains greater European unity, and Russia gets further opprobrium among those Europeans who yet still take an understanding view of Putin’s new imperialism.

Again, as someone from the balkans (even though this part is a small separate country now and a member of NATO and EU), who's seen the 1999 nato bombings in yugoslavia firsthand, and who remembers a couple of saudis flying some planes, and usa attacking afghanistan, and the "weapons of mass destruction" iraq "had", and syria and lybia, etc., I really cannot comprehend all the outrage at putin, when all the outraged countries literally have soldiers occupying some other foreign countries right this moment.

Again, as a balkaner, war is bad (even if we were the lucky ones, because the last one lasted only 10 days here, and the most notable action was shooting down a helicopter carrying bread), but if your country is currently doing the same as putin is, your leaders should really shut the fuck up.
You forgot security. Intel has a terrible track record, nobody trusts them to fix their flaws. And they did have enough time, and still didn't.

And having a prominent CIA backdoor (ME) on their chips doesn't help neither.
Well, in this case, Biden vowed to defend ‘Every Inch’ of NATO Territory so I don't think we have to worry about that.
In my opinion, it's not going to be as simple as someone outcompeting them at the existing game. It's that someone will beat them at the next iteration of the game, at a new paradigm of information discovery and distribution.

The analogue here is Microsoft losing its software dominance not due to a desktop competitor overthrowing them, but through failing to play the Web and mobile games as effectively as the new dominant players.
Above average, haha. Permanent beginner, I think :)
No, I don’t ever remember the button being useful. I believe they have looked in to removing it many times but people just like the look of it. But these days the google search page has largely become irrelevant anyway.
The Baltic states already border Russia.
You'd have to cut literally every cable and satellite connection and radio transmission in and out of the country. With something as geographically distributed as Russia, that sounds very hard to convince every country to convince every operator to... and even then, there's some wireless options.

But at least yours is not dead. Wish there was a wiki site instead of github, seems a waste to keep a history when all you want is the latest version.
Again, space-based intercept takes out the missile within 2 minutes of launch, before hypersonic is deployed. This also stops submarine launch (the space-based sensor layer detects it and intercept comes from space). It doesn't matter where the submarine is, the space-based launch-intercept system has whole earth coverage.

I'm not the person you asked, but the very well-known understanding, going back probably to Napoleon or earlier (among foreign policy experts), is that Ukraine has geopolitics. Geography is far more important to national power than non-experts realize.

Without Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, Russia loses sea access to the Black Sea and thus the Mediterranean for their navy (and also for trade), which historically has been a primary determinant of Russian military influence in Europe. Otherwise, they only have northern ports which are frozen and easily choked off (and ports way over on the Pacific - imagine having to sail your navy around Eurasia in order to attack or defend).

More importantly, Ukraine's geography is easy to move large forces across, in that respect a major battlefield (with due respect to Ukrainians). Napoleon and the Nazis both crossed through that region on their way to Russia, and when Russia attacks West, they go through Ukraine. Russian wants to control it and to prevent others from controlling it.

By controlling Ukraine, Russia can put more pressure on, have more influence over, Ukraine's neighbors, including Poland, and further cut off Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia from their NATO allies.

Finally, Putin wants glory - don't underestimate the personal characteristics, such as ego, of unaccountable dictators - and to recreate the Soviet empire and the illusion of power. An independent, democratic Ukraine both undermines that appearance (and perception is everything for dictators) and embarasses Putin's claim to power as an authoritarian dictator.
Robot Turtles could be a good way to introduce multi-step reasoning. You'll need to be attentive to your kid's developmental level (and don't worry about "other kids." One of the most important things I read was an essay by Keith Gessen in which he related a conversation with his own third-grade teacher who told him that some kids learn to read in kindergarten, some in second grade and in third grade you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart. As a father of twins who learned to read at different ages, I can verify that this is very true) and be prepared to put things aside for months or years as necessary. And there are some pretty good screen-based things a well (I was a little startled to look at my second-grader son who was hypnotized with his iPad while I was working and mom was busy and saw him casually doing some basic algebra problems out of his own volition—although I am quick to admit that there's plenty of Minecraft time too).
Logical fallacies are why I dislike talking to people. The point of view you expressed is not opposite from mine, as you can have multiple moral systems that can live side by side without issues. My original idea is that some moral systems are bad (in regards to those "tangible effects" you mentioned), and your assertion induces the idea that all moral systems are more or less the same.

Cloud infrastructure, the Go programming language, Kubernetes. Now of course your definition of "change the world" comes into play here, but it certainly hasn't just been advertising and acquisitions.
I would argue there's no 'proper posture' for child's hands on adult sized keyboards and keys.
I don’t think it’s possible. SEO is targeted at google because that’s what the users use. If another engine became top, seo spammers would redesign around that.

It’s almost similar to how GANs work. Google tries to filter crap from content and the SEO spammers try to generate crap that is indistinguishable from content. And we settled at a point where seo spammers have won and their content looks like real valuable content but without real substance that ML can’t identify yet.
If you're asking a personal question like I think you are: for me the courtesy of non-violence extends to all beings capable of suffering and with a preference to live.

> For those of you who can't wrap your heads around why Putin is invading Ukraine, I invite you to recall the invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 by the US and its allies.

As someone from the balkans i totally agree with you, and it is sad, that the world leaders that are "outraged" today are politically commanding armies that are still occupying many sovereign countries around the world.

But with the media and propaganda, the wars started by the west were "good", and every other war is "bad". The americans even convinced people that their soldiers killing people in middle east (and other places) is somehow "fighting for US freedom".
I feel like it's important to establish that "controls should look like the Web designer intended and be customizable" is an ideological stance, not an obvious and self-evident truth. And it's one that I strongly disagree with, because it's needlessly controlling: why should Web designers be able to make something look however they want? The web is a platform for _all kinds of users_, not just "websites that look and feel like a Web designer wants to", and people should have the freedom to use a site in whatever way they want and not be constrained by arbitrary limitations of bad custom form controls.

The "real" Anonymous was. Now some other hacktivist group uses the name to cash in on the clout. People get really excited when they hear Anonymous is back at work.
No, it was more in terms of techniques, motifs and styles of working the medium. Possible cultural contacts, mostly via trade, were a consideration. There were similarities between the two but so was the case with the Incas who obviously had no contact. I concluded the similarities were mostly the result of the medium itself, pure gold. It lends itself to wire, leaf and embossed designs for decoration and is ill-suited for anything utilitarian...

That's odd.
> Do your research" coupled with unsourced assertions is always an interesting argument :)

It’s worse than an argument because their comment is not an argument.

They themselves need to substantiate their claims first before demanding evidence from someone else.
This has been my primary research strategy for the past decade.
It's digging gems from piles of rubbish, but when you find them you know that they are genuine.
This is more like the desert storm scenario than the desert shield scenario. One country invading another sovereign country. The boundaries were clear. No occupying force necessary. I'm not saying we should jump to boots on the ground war without exhausting other possibilities first, but this is very little like Afghanistan and even less like the second Iraq war.
Yeah, I'm being reductive. But my impression as an American is that you don't have to get very far from a coastal area for seafood to pretty quickly diminish on the plates of the average person...and there's a lot of the U.S. that is very far from any coastal area. In other words, it's not unusual at all to hear people say "I don't really like seafood" or will eat it very minimally like in fried fish sticks and tuna salad only.
Presumably there's a Pareto 20% (or smaller I'd imagine) of connections that carry 80% of the traffic? At very least the increased latency of being forced onto suboptimal paths would be a statement
I agree with you re: apes with electronics. I have a personal theory about human evolution I call "restless ape theory"

other apes might feed themselves, gain some territory, and call it a day, but not us. Some gene flipped a million years ago so that we will never be satisfied. Our ape ancestors hid from the weather and thought, this will not do.

I was not making a moral judgement about those who gain capital, just explaining why they're the ones that get to decide. It might not be the best way to make collective decisions, but on the whole its better than violence, which is the alternative for those who can offer no incentive to act one way or another. I guess religion works too, but the anti-capitalists seem to dislike that as well.

The point is, no one gets to tell anyone else what the point is. We are in competiton to persuade or have power over the unpersuadable.
That's what a monopoly is... They've entirely cornered the market for a good...
Some great Ukrainian coworkers I've had the pleasure to work with as well.
I think when one side sees it as an existential threat then the gloves come off. Russia will launch nukes before the government fell. United States would launch nukes before the government fell.
I read your strategy doc, and it doesn't change anything I said. Front and center is your commitment to developer experience, which is great, but what seems woefully absent is consideration for the end-user. I'm sure that you'll eventually get around to things like accessibility and bring them up to par with what we already have. It's worth saying that nothing should be built for production using Flutter until that's taken care of, but enough people have already said it.

What's absent is a commitment to empower end-users in the same way that the web does now. Your doc puts the developer front and center, but "developer" can be read two ways: the person writing code who wants good tools that make their job a delight, or The Business that wants tools to enable them to deliver products that the end user cannot open open the hood and tinker with. A consistent UI toolkit that lets you develop once and deliver to six platforms is great for the coder, and if in the process it just so happens that the frontend is reduced to indecipherable pixels that can't be modified, ads that can't be blocked, and tracking that can't be escaped, well, that's just perfect for The Business.

I don't doubt you or your team's sincere good intentions. I really don't. But after pulling stunts like AMP, Tag Manager, FLoC/Topics, etc. Google, the business, doesn't deserve a charitable interpretation. It's like Prisoners of Geography. Google is an advertising company, and always will be. Regardless of the ideology or stated goals of the day, everything they do is to sell ads. If Flutter allows Google to display more ads and collect more data, and Google is funding the development of Flutter, it stands to reason that Google is purposefully pushing Flutter because Flutter will allow them to sell more ads and subvert user privacy.
> I hope this doesn't sound flippant or taking light of Russia's actions because it's not intended to be. But what is the decision process behind supporting a choice to start sending other people to kill and die for your desired outcome here?

You've got to draw the line somewhere. If an offensive war like this passes, no-one is safe.

> And do you also believe wars should be initiated against China to liberate Uyghur and Tibet, against North Korea to stop the human rights abuses there, against Afghanistan again to put the previous regime back in power, etc.?

Launching an invasion no, at least not without a very clear UN-like process that gives them multiple opportunities to back down.

> I mean what point do you say okay we need to go in shooting, and would you still believe that if you were to be the first on the beach with a rifle?

Whether I'd have the balls is another question entirely, but I absolutely do believe it. This is not subtle, this is not limited, this is war. If we were talking about unmarked "volunteers" in the "independent states" that Russia recognised a few days ago, you might reasonably argue for a more limited response. But when we have Russian regulars shooting in Kyiv, that is absolutely on the wrong side of anywhere the line can possibly be drawn, unless you're ready to start speaking Russian.
I’ve heard this called the “one bad day” approach. The animals have a good life with only one bad day. In my opinion it’s probably the most ethical way to keep animals if the intent is to slaughter them at some point.

"This", meaning peace near your border?

I'm surprised that everyone considers sanctions a sophisticated hard soft power tool (clearly useless) but don't consider mobilization of troops as hardware (short of firing rounds) as an effective and peaceful tool.

What Putin did (mobilize troops within their borders) was also an option for NATO/EU in bordering countries. Matching mobilization would definitely increase the costs of firing the first bullet.

But the truth is, despite the talk of solidarity and all this public indignation, Ukraine never really had a partner in NATO/EU/West.

And the world saw how uninterested in peace is NATO/EU/West

I reviewed mostly C, then reviewed mostly Golang. But I also reviewed codebases in Erlang, Perl, Java, C++, Rust, Python, Javascript, etc.

Mind you I was mostly reviewing cryptographic-related applications, but most C applications contained bugs that had nothing to do with the logic (lots of memory corruption bugs) while most Golang applications contained logic bugs. Or at least I would find logic bugs because Golang was both rid of most memory corruption bugs, and also an extremely readable language (so easier for me to understand the code and find logic bugs). Although Golang still had nil dereference bugs (happens a lot when people used protobuf), because they don't have sum types. Today I think a great language would be a mix between a readable language like Go (with good defaults, toolings, stdlib) and a safe languages like Rust.

The article is quite kind to Schliemann. Kinder than many archaeological experts.

The excavated area thought to be "Troy" had about nine distinct layers. The "Troy" that everyone is interested was one of the upper layers (like Layer VIII, the second from the top), which Schliemann kept digging through. The one he finally settled on and brought "Priam's Treasure" from was much older, long before the era of the fabled Trojan war.

To boot, with each successive layer, the previous layer he simply dumped to the side and didn't take much care in preserving. So much of the Trojan layer that the classicists are interested in studying has actually been destroyed by his attempts to dig deeper.
