You think controlled burns during fire season are a good idea?

I agree with you that controlled burns are good, but I'm saying a 'controlled burn' is impossible from Aug-rainfall.

And sure, letting the entire Sierra burn is one solution, but we have the technology to do controlled burns when appropriate and not let wildfires run unfettered. Those are not mutually exclusive.

Hence the 'critical thinking' snark.

The answer to stopping massive wildfires is not to stop fighting them whole cloth, because, surprise California's equilibrium burn pre-contact was probably 4m acres/year anyway!

> no reason

This is a big unsubstantiated implication you're making here. I fully agree that there is too much of a stigma against living with your family (though it has improved greatly over the past 10-15 years as surveys and studies have shown) in the US, but there are plenty of reasons to move out. This is coming from someone, by the way, who was convinced he'd probably stay living at home until 30 or so. I eventually realized it was holding me back.

Yes, relatively speaking it cost me a ton of money to move out, and I'd have a lot more money in my bank account right now if I didn't, but none of that money was "wasted" and I wouldn't trade it for anything or go back and do anything differently. It changed my life immensely, for the better.

I love my family but no matter how much you love your family there is no substitute for having a place of your own, and having the freedom and privacy to live your life the way you like, operate under your own rules, under your preferred hours, etc.

You're right, many people may not be ready for this, and living at home shouldn't be stigmatized - though perhaps parents who don't raise children who are ready for it at a reasonable age should be stigmatized.

But if you are gainfully employed and you have no mental conditions where being out on your own should affect you negatively, then moving out on your own is absolutely not a waste.

> The US is a major outlier

Despite all of its faults, the US is a major outlier in most things... in a good way. Yes, other countries and cultures may do things differently. But the individualist nature of the US is the keystone to what makes this country so great.
I really doubt that NATO would be willing to enforce this no-fly zone in a non-NATO nation, that would mean being willing to shoot down Russian military aircraft, which would surely escalate the war.
I don't think you made any mistake or said anything wrong in that post. I was answering your question "how is SSPL different from AGPL?".
[0] clarified to be within TW relations act, i.e. help TW defend itself, aka, basically no boots on ground in Ukraine tier of promise. US has even less capability of defending TW within first island chain then it does Ukraine. The idea of course is there will be some sort of naval contest, but that will likely change once PRC expands nuclear arsenal to the point of "That’s a world war when Americans and China start shooting at one another".
Thanks, founder here. I personally try not to run cells out of order. But I feel like almost anyone at some point will want to run cells out of order.

She is almost 11 now, but we are coding every day for almost a year now (I am logging the progress here: https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids). Its often we go to the number line :) but because we usually make games, and it was easy to get negative numbers when you go out of the screen, so it "clicked".

Does Putin care, he will just say the West or Ukraine did so to hinder Russia and then use the damage to Russia as an excuse to act even more ruthless.
Yes this is scary. Chinese defense budget is considerable at 1/3 of US budget.
The top post is the kind of over-the-top comment that comes from a position of privilege of someone who has clearly never actually had to deal with law enforcement in a situation like this before.

I have, as a lawyer, and as a regular civilian interacting with the police. You do not have to let the cops scan your face. Refusing to be searched, or scanned, or taken to the station will not get you killed. It will not get you beat up. It will not get you sent to jail.

In fact, if you consent to letting them scan your face, (or search you or your belongings, etc) there won't be a "grievance process," there won't be a pot of gold, there won't be a voided conviction (if they found anything)...because you consented.

Comments like the OPs get people in trouble. Seriously.

My comment was very careful to not include partisanship or judgement. It was a question on if events caused them to "re-think" their affiliation. Flagging it, while allowing commenters to spew Russian propaganda for the past 2 weeks doesn't seem to be "what HN is for".
Ah, yes. It's a pity the Ukrainians did not pick the right side back in 2014 before they ousted Yanukovych.

Can you give more specifics? Backend-wise, the new asm support is still using LLVM's assembly facilities, so it should be just as capable. As far as the user-facing portion is concerned, some features of the `asm!` macro are still unstable (most notably const operands and sym operands), but I'm not aware of any feature that doesn't have an equivalent.
> Some 66 million years ago, a catastrophic event wiped out three-quarters of all plant and animal species on Earth, most notably taking down the dinosaurs. The puzzle of why so many species perished while others survived has long intrigued scientists.

More importantly, it means that even if we annihilate our specie because of our stupidity, life has great chances going on and in millions of years perhaps, the earth might be governed by another intelligent specie.

> Simple computer models initially suggested this disaster could render our planet inhospitable in as little as 150 million years from now. But late last year the journal Nature published a much more sophisticated simulation by a team from the Laboratory for Dynamic Meteorology in Paris, and this suggests we have got at least a billion years before this apocalypse.
I think a nuclear bomb and a nuclear power plant are very different and have different halftimes.
You're overestimating the speed of the attack. Even if the Ukrainians put up no resistance (and they have been putting up resistance) - tanks just don't move that fast/ukraine is a big place.

See the dotted lines in this map - that's a rough estimate of how far the Russians have made it in a day. Even if they continue at the same pace overnight (unlikely), and the next day, and the next night, there's still a lot of the country they won't have physically reached yet.

We can set aside this discussion about rationality, because I'm not suggesting that Putin doesn't have rational reasoning for doing what he's doing, what I'm suggesting is that Ukraine would not suffice for any rationale I've so far been exposed to. I'm also suggesting that he is objectively wrong about his beliefs, even if he follows them. It doesn't actually provide any buffer that makes sense from a geographic standpoint - it does have a lot of resources though. NATO is much closer to Moscow from the Baltic states. He's also going to have to occupy a country, on his border, with 44 million people. If even 1% of them are violent anti-Russians because of collateral Russian damage caused by the invasion then how does he expect to protect Russia from terrorist attacks? How does he protect a potential puppet government from such attacks? Not to mention now he's galvanized NATO, Finland and Sweden are going to join (in my view) by the end of the year, and people aren't going to associate with his country anymore.

If Putin wants to I guess further expand his buffer, then we'll have a nuclear war because there is no doubt that the United States will absolutely go to war with full force against Russia over any NATO country. There is no reconciliation to be had here. If Russia believes NATO is out to get it, despite a world of evidence to the contrary, then they can stop at Ukraine or keep going, but if they keep going, which is likely (because Ukraine isn't worth the devastation being caused to Russia) then we will just have nuclear war. If Russia believes this then we might as well just go ahead and have it out. I mean there isn't anything else to that. I'm not sure why you're suggesting that I'm "out of sync with the current reality in Europe". The reality is that the United States will go to war and fight Russia to defend NATO. That's why I'm concerned (OP) - it can easily spiral out of control.
Imagine Mexico for any reason would invite Russian army. What answer do expect from US in such case?

And you don't have to imagine, just remember Cuban missile crisis (in response to US deploying missiles in Turkey, Italy)
I think you misunderstand the incentives. The elimination of the residential hotels and boarding houses of yesteryear (to be replaced with two-or-three bedroom apartments) was a deliberate exercise in class warfare, and the governments in question were largely delivering what voters wanted.

The remarkable part is the people who still defend the measures as for-the-poor's-own-good.
Additionally to what was already said in other threads about this:

Why wast money?
Ukraine did (or some similar arrangement, I'm not sure about details). NATO declined.
The US will defend NATO. They will nuke Russia's forces if they try to enter Poland. There is no doubt in my mind that is a red line.

Try Avocado oil, it's supposed to have a high smoke point.
The best olive oil is cold pressed which most people have probably never tasted..anyone who has tasted a fresh ripe olive will spit it out..it’s literally inedible.

Olive oil at its best is bitter and sharp and super astringent. That no one would ever recognize even in its most commonly used form..emulsions like mayo. It’s is a viscous opaque yellow liquid gold. Altho there are also varieties that can be green gold at first pressing.

I contracted via my farm to harvest olives from old city trees that were planted by some heiress and they were ancient no name varieties which had a more yellow gold tinge. Lovely bitterness at first pressing. Most olive oils we can buy is refined and processed and blended. When blended with grapeseed oil, they have longer shelf life and doesn’t become rancid as fast.

More recently there has been efforts to mechanize and automate olive harvests but it has resulted in entire olive groves being razed so new dwarf varieties and cultivars suitable for automated harvest are being planted in Europe and Morocco..with table olives from canopied trees being planted in Tunisia and other places where labor is cheaper.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO, so options are somewhat limited. Russia intends to use Chernobyl as a deterrent to NATO, according to the report (how, I do not know). It is also not straightforward to put a NATO ally right on Russia's vulnerable flank (it's endless plains and flat ground from Ukraine to Moscow, which has always been a source of strategic vulnerability for Moscow), so admitting Ukraine to NATO was never a concrete possibility. In fact, the US has had to tread very carefully simply to place missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads in Poland, which is a neighbor of Ukraine.

Russia had a buffer state that was content to do its bidding in Yanukovich et. al. but after the Ukrainians overthrew their corrupt government and made moves to establish a genuine western-style democracy with rule of law, Russia were forced to shore up their vulnerable flank. This is part of that process. But they now face bad consequences, including neutral Finland and Sweden deciding to join NATO, perhaps Georgia also, and Germany (and Europe in general) starting to look for alternate energy sources in earnest (Russia supplies a huge percentage of Europe's energy needs, and is also a huge supplier of many rare earths and raw materials that are critical to the Semiconductor Industry).

EDIT: Belarus is also a client state of Russia's, and there has been unrest there, so perhaps Russia is sensing that they might slip as well. Putin is desperate to do whatever it takes to stay in power in Russia, and these things play into that as well.

I was specifically responding to throwaway4aday that I do not believe that hawks in NATO that desire the full destruction of Russia will win the argument to pursue an offensive war against Russia.

One reason I think this to be true is exactly the risks that you mentioned - the more hot the war gets, the more bodies, the more likely mistakes are made.

No this doesn't have anything to do with Nuclear Weapon deterrence. Much of the liquidation effort was literally burying contaminated topsoil in the area. The explosions from conventional bombs would kick radioactive particles back up into the atmosphere. Europe probably does not want to deal with that, so I imagine they will refrain from attacking directly.
This is where diplomacy should shine. It's clear that Russia has been hardening against western sanctions for years now, and CIPS is a big piece of that. If NATO can convince China to also shut them out of CIPS at the same time we turn off SWIFT the Russian Oligarchs will start applying pressure to Putin.
Brazil being Brazil, it's very hard to pick a number.

We can argue endlessly about what a mess the process was, and if the results did reflect the electors wishes. But the people did elect delegates, that met and decided on a president. Formally, that is a perfectly valid election (that started by 82, and only really ended in 87 - that's an entire mandate duration with the delegates not really deciding on it).
Putin warned the West that he wouldn't hesitate to conduct a nuclear strike if they try to meddle.
I would imagine that even a small conventional bomb landing anywhere within a few miles of Chernobyl would unearth and spread contamination.

I remember reading somewhere that all the ground was full of small radioactive particles in the area surrounding Chernobyl. So basically what they had to do was dig up the first few feet of dirt and flip it over, burying the contaminated dirt. Any small bomb would undo that. Then the wind would carry it and we'd have a whole mess.

Yeah, in the days where fixed nav at top is often used by default it is not as common to have TOP links any more. Recently I searched for a way to PREVENT going to the top clicking a link <a href="#" onclick="console.log(1)"> that only had JavaScript in it and always jumped back and forth due to AJAX page reload.

The solution[1] I found was using <a href="#!" onclick="console.log(1)">A no jump link</a>.

"In recent history look no further than when the US ordered a naval blockade on Cuba after Cuba's request for Russian missiles to be placed on the island to defend in the event of another US invasion attempt. Putin is literally taking a page from that book."

Well, except for the fact that the US never actually invaded Cuba.

It was a grave mistake for Ukraine to give up the nuclear weapons they inherited from the USSR.
The pricing page/docs leaves so many questions unanswered:

-What's the cost of egress?

-What is a read/write exactly? It is a DB "page" read/write? I know there's a section on this, but it doesn't explain details.

-If it's a page read/write, what is the size of the page? 16kb?

-If it's a real row read/write, what is the maximum size? Can I write a 100mb row for the same price?

-What about indexes, or merging the WAL log? Will I be charged for these operations (can result in million+ writes)?

-What about small consecutive writes that fit in a single 16kb page, do I get charged a single write "unit"? RDS actually combines this into a single op (see IOPS with RDS).

-What about cached reads, do I get charged for that?

-What about computationally expensive queries, that do not actually read/write that much?

Please answer these questions. Provide useful real-world pricing examples. This is standard stuff, and especially important if "transparent" pricing is a key feature.
the rates of linoleic acid in eggs, large, chicken, beef, pork have all changed drastically in the last 100 years because what we feed the animals has changed drastically.

a grass fed cow has a lower omega6 profile than one in a factory farm.

farmers have gotten tricky with it, raising "grass fed cows" but then for a couple months before slaughter, fattening them up with industry "feed". So now when you're at the store you have to find not only "grass fed" but "grass finished" beef.

Chickens that are allowed to eat at will (chickens eat a really wide range of shit, not just "feed" that's mostly corn - they eat grass, bugs, they'll even eat rodents if they can catch one). Chickens in farms usually don't eat like that. If your eggs say "organic", they're certainly not eating like that.

There's absolutely no way to get low PUFA pork these days. At all. Fire in the Bottle blog has partnered with a farm that's raising low PUFA pigs and you can have $100 of pork shipped to you, but that's the only place i'm aware of it.

But yeah, the fat profile of our animals havve radically changed. Because of what we feed them. And then we eat them and the problems goes on up the food chain.

I'm not a vegetarian and i'm not a globalist and there becomes a point where there's a lot of politics in what you eat. I'm not into diets to be kind to animals or even because of the environment. If healthy food hurt the environment, i'm eating healthy food. Ya know?

But at this juncture - you're better off being low meat (wild caught, mercury tested, salmon 1-2x a week, some skinless chicken, grassfed beef 1x a month or something), and eating a mostly vegetarian diet, roughly 1-2 meals a day, lots and lots and lots of veggies. It's simply too hard to account for all the garbage done to meat, from a health perspective.
It's worth pointing out that even physical destruction may be unnecessary. Due to the complexity of the semiconductor supply chain, many say that an embargo of materials and the removal of experts are enough to paralyze the fabs for many years to come...
While you’re right that it does depend, the imbalance is so large in practice that it’s extremely difficult to find a workload where CPU wins, especially when you’re talking about 2d screen rendering. The bottlenecks are: per-pixel compute multiplied by the number of pixels, and bandwidth of transferring data to the GPU (must include this when doing “CPU” rendering).

What does CPU rendering even mean? Is it sending per-pixel instructions to the GPU, or is it rendering a framebuffer in CPU ram, and transferring that to the GPU or something else? Pure software would be the latter (save pixels to a block of RAM, then transfer to the GPU), but the line today isn’t very clear because most CPU renderers aren’t transferring pixels, they’re calling OS level drawing routines that are turned into GPU commands. Most of the time, CPU rendering is mostly GPU rendering anyway.

> there’s little reason for the text-rendering to be a bottleneck either way.

Think about 4K screens, which is up to 8M pixels to render. Suppose you’re scrolling and want 60fps. If you wanted to rendering this to your own framebuffer in RAM, and you render in 24 bit color, then your bandwidth requirement is 8M * 3bytes * 60frames = 1.4GB/s bandwidth. It’s also 8M * 60 pixel rendering operations. Even if the per-pixel rendering was 1 single CPU instruction (it’s more, probably a lot more, but suppose anyway) then the CPU load is 0.5 billion instructions per second, which is a heavy load even without any cache misses. Most likely, this amount of rendering would consume 100% of a CPU core at 4K.

Anyway, there’s no reason to have the CPU do all this work and to fill the bus with pixels when we have hardware for it.
Something that has gone unmentioned in these comments: Intel has a lot more debt than AMD (38B vs 661M on 12/31). That does affect their comparative market cap by, you know, roughly 37 billion dollars. (give or take some amount related to their credit rating and the very low cost of money right now, I would think, and if you want something to argue about there's always the fact that Intel has an even better credit rating than AMD...)

Intel has much, much more income than AMD and they're valued similarly by the market and... that is not a mystery.

This headline seems misleading. First, these are one-time costs, but most reporting on programs like these are annual costs. Second, this conflates a lot of numbers. Most are one bedroom (which could house a small family, as sleeping on a couch is more comfortable than a car), but the most expensive is $837,000. There's nothing even stated that the most expensive one-bedroom is $837,000). In fact, 86% are under $700,000 to build. In fact, they plan to hit 10,000 units in the next 5 years, with it seems about half of those coming from the first $1.2 billion allocation.
