Not a new problem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

People have talked a lot about how this is morally wrong.

It's more morally pretty wrong for a long time.

Copyright complaints shouldn't get settled by a "report them instant action," model. Not having a fair hearing in a court of law, is a serious weakness in our modern day legal system.

Jurists legitimately have not figured out how to solve this problem. Copyright & patent law when social graphs spread IP at light-speed is a real conundrum.

But it's not a new problem.

What's new is Youtube's algorithm has become a huge asset to Russian foreign policy.

Which is directly opposed to the United State's interests.

If you're working in the foreign policy apparatus of the US Government and watching this... the fact Alphabet is projecting Russian soft power is a big big problem.
Grammarly has become a crutch and I am having a hard time finding an alternative.

This is my method to write grammar sensitive content -

- Write initial draft in notepad

- Review the document

- Paste content into grammarly

- Review their suggestions

- Review the content one last time.

I just couldn't find anything that is non obtrusive and secure.

Edit: I read through the article. My method seems to be the most secure way to use grammarly. But I am deleting the extension and the app.
What difference does it make? :)
Having elite forces with fancy equipment only matters if you use them well. If your only strategy is to yeet them far behind enemy lines while your main front with support is still bogged down then you won't have elite forces or fancy equipment much longer
The war is already happening and Russia is going to win and Ukraine will lose. Stopping the war now by negotiations or promises is not going to change the outcome.

Russia is Fighting a 1970s Era War
However, Vladivostok is the main Russian naval port to the Mediterranean. So Russia has very much concerns about what flag flies over Crimea.
Ukrainians are not going to stay neutral. They will never submit. Sorry, but that is only Putin's fantasy and ultimately his downfall.
This is the theory, but let's be honest: will Western politicians really risk a direct armed confrontation with Russia - when the latter almost openly threatens to escalate (hinting at WMD) if anyone intervenes - over, say, Latvia?

Actually, that's not the right question, because Europe by itself doesn't have the military strength to escalate. So it'll be down to American politicians and American voters.
And this Stanford guy is good too. This may not be the best one of his podcasts for addressing the exact goal but it's still relevant. https://hubermanlab.com/optimizing-workspace-for-productivit...
anyone seen actual evidence of this yet?
Yup, they learned they need higher numbers. It’s weak to think the russian have a strong army. I imagine the propaganda of fear has worked, but they can easily be eliminated _with_ the right equipment and tech.
>It’s like climbing a big hill but in my head. Sometimes it’s effortless and sometimes it’s a slog.

Is this something that you need to "fix"? Maybe it's your body telling you that you're dedicating too much time/mental resources to work and not enough time to the other aspects of your life.

You can't "push through" burnout; only recognise the early warning signs and back off.
Only if you assume that all members are actually equal. If there's de facto first-class and second-class membership (e.g. those who joined before USSR collapsed, and those who joined after), then countries in the first group might be willing to give up as many of the second group as needed to avoid an all-out confrontation.
Handing out AK-47 to everyone without even recording who got a weapon is outright irresponsible. Without training or any kind of command you will get yesterdays civilians killing other civilians. We already have seen how "territorial defense forces" have shot a family of five (two parents, two girls, and one boy; only two kids have survived) who tried to flee from Kiev. Who knows how many of those 60 diversants reported by Kiev are truly Russian forces and not Ukrainians killed in friendly fire.
I've found that reading helps a lot, even if it's difficult to maintain the focus at first it gets better. My brain was so hooked on the dopamine hits of constant online chat, phone notifications etc. Now I wake up and read a book for an hour before starting the day (I turn off phone / laptop and put them in a drawer) - it makes a big difference.

I can't find relevant studies, but there's a few scientists who say that reading improves focus: https://www.ncu.edu/blog/reading-improves-memory-concentrati...

I've never had to use Windows as my 'everyday' Operating System.

I went from MSDOS to a UNIX desktop in 1991, then from a UNIX desktop to a Linux desktop in 2001. I haven't missed Windows because it isn't necessary at all for me.

Having said that, I sometimes find that specific pieces of software are more convenient to use than the Linux ones I usually use. Ferinstance, my HP MFP has a multi-page feeder that I use occasionally for scanning multi-page documents. So I run the HP Scanning Software in a Windows 7 instance in VirtualBox under Linux Mint for the five minutes or so then close it down. For all my normal scanning and printing, I just use my Linux Mint.
Ignore anyone telling you the russian army is strong. They cam do damage but their strength is grossly overestimated and part of propaganda used for demoralising the enemy. They are peasants with guns.
US Sanctions Vladimir Putin
That makes Russian position even worse. Because Poland will allow supply of weapons and fighters through its border. Making this a protracted war that Russians can’t win. Look at America and Pakistan, talibans moved at Will between the borders and American forces can’t engage.
Agreed. When I was doing science, we had a weekly lab meeting where one of our lab members would pick a piece of published literature in our field and break down how bullshit it was. It's hard to do good science.
I've literally improved my concentration at work in the past 2 weeks. Started travelling to a wifi cafe 25mins away by subway. I listen to post-rock music while coming and going on good headphones. The bass and thumping guitar grooves clear my head. The deadline to get out of the house and clear demarcation make it easier to get into the flow zone. I get more work done in 4 hours than I used to get done lounging around my house in 8.

Very useful article and thread comments, thank you all.
lol 10% of their global revenue? I don't think I've ever heard a bill that is more dead on arrival. Google will never operate in a country with those kinds of penalties and MPs know that.
I disagree with this point of view. The main foundation isn't of quickly-accessible knowledge, it's having a good process and strong intuition. Knowledge feels more incidental than being the main focus.

If you throw a Staff engineer into a new domain they're likely going to quickly become more effective than a mid level engineer with domain knowledge because they have better meta level skills.

Of course, this is very dependent on how specific the function of the person you're hiring is and how quickly things are moving. If you're hiring for a very specialist role then knowledge will be a lot more valuable. Same goes if the domain is not moving very quickly (I.e. historical knowledge is valuable).

Though in general, I think a lot of people would jump to hire a SWE who has been an expert in a different domain.
But will they just straight up enter Kiev with vehicles or do Falluja style phosphorous bombing first? Former is just suicide.

Oil is fungible so increasing or decreasing the global supply still impacts US prices. This is because unlike say concrete US suppliers can easily ship oil to the France if people in France are willing to pay more than US consumers.

Now that doesn’t mean the second Iraq war was about oil, but it does explain why we care more about the Middle East than say Africa.
I made another post in this thread, but I'm using it very happily for a few microservices that power https://fakeyou.com (one is the main web monolith, the other is a websocket to pubsub bridge for an upcoming feature).

- I've found it extremely fast to work with and iterate.

- I've been able to meld a lot of complex use cases to it. In-memory caches, worker thread pools, etc.

- It works great with testing, CORS, MySQL, Redis, forms, json, uploads, S3 clients, etc.

- Serde + the expressive type system is incredible (this is more about being able to use Rust, but Actix plays so well with it).

I'm using sqlx for nearly typified SQL checked at compile time. If we get a jOOQ-like DSL, I'll be overjoyed.
Photos do not lie, it is said. But frequently they tell partial
truths. They tear moments out of time's flowing river and separate
them from what has come before and what will follow. They can
misrepresent as well as represent.

You are inside a cult, complaining that people outside have not differentiated levels of extremes inside the cult, and therefore you do not view being similar to the cult as a bad thing. This is not a defense of the cult you seem to think it is.
In my case it is predicated on a disaster being localized. Basically it assumes that I will have 48 hours to get a message out.

Where I live is six hours from the coast so hurricanes and tsunamis are not a threat. An earthquake on the New Madrid fault [0] is a possibility although a fairly remote one in any given year. The disaster I optimize for is tornado outbreaks, because it's the most likely to happen. Those occur fairly regularly every few years and are contained enough that I could get a message out probably within 48 hours just by going down the highway an hour or so to get cell coverage.

But to more directly answer your question, pretty much everything depends on power. When the power goes out you have a limited amount of time before backup generators run out of fuel. Even landline telecom systems need power at the switching end. A widespread outage that lasts more than a couple days basically means nothing works and you're reduced to using (like you mentioned) amateur radio or other point-to-point methods that don't rely on ground-based power.

During the Super Outbreak, the cell network stayed "up" for a couple days before going offline completely. But it was impossible to get a message out, most likely because of either demand or damage to the interconnects.

This isn't to say that the world goes often beyond mere words; every democratic nation's leadership is obligated to act in the best interest of their citizens, and what's in their best interest is not always clear at the outset. There's a reason diplomacy and statecraft are full-time jobs, and defense pacts like NATO exist. These pacts tie populations together and organize some of the decision-making process. Even then those pacts have steps that need to be triggered before action is taken, and NATO Article 5 [3] has been invoked only once in its history. The really interesting thing is that according to NATO Article 6, an attack on Hawaii or some Spanish cities may not trigger a NATO response [4]

If you're looking for an example closer to home, consider the Pandavas' exile; they went to war only after all other options had been exhausted [5].

Much as we as individuals want nations to act emotionally as we would, democratic nations simply do not make decisions that way. There are tens, perhaps even hundreds, of people involved at all levels of government in any major decisions around foreign policy. It is possible to subvert that machinery like with the 2nd Bush administration, and trash it altogether like with the Trump administration, but for the most part it works fairly rationally, if not always in the long-term interest.
Where does this portrait of Russia as an incompetent troop army come from? I thought we learned with ww1 that portraying your enemy as weak and incompetent only created morale issues when they were tougher than expected?
I want one of these, and I have absolutely no good reason to have one. I just think they're cool!
I'm not sure it'll make much difference. The Russians haven't seemed to have worried all that much about civilian casualties in past conflicts.
Isn't this in reverse??? A lot of people on Facebook know who I am. I was in TONS of forums and no one had a clue who I was in real life and my accounts weren't connected with anything other than a made up email for "confirmation" purposes and promptly deleted.

Kicking my dog would also not affect human society, does that mean I can kick my dog without justification? For fun?

My point here to be more clear is that we simply don't need to consume animals, and that the taste pleasure of eating them doesn't justify their death. Humans are animals too, and the success of our species doesn't require intense suffering of another.

They don't give a shit.

Realistically, in a conflict, anyone who cannot materially contribute to the conflict is a liability.

Every single military, the world over, is heavily trained to ignore civilian casualties.

As long as it's not a militarily significant asset, their training is to not care about it.

Handing out AK-47s increases the number of military assets. The cost doesn't show up on the military asset balance sheet.
Why not? They'd be impressed and you can charge more.

Steadily though at times sluggishly going along on my (pretty much exactly) today 14 years old Laptop with HDD ... I dread the next few years ... almost everyone (developers/users) will take the luxury of fast seek and generally fast disk IO of SSDs for granted ... and this lack of incentive for strict IO optimisation will lead to medium to big everyday applications such as office suites, web browsers and others becoming pretty much unusable (on my machine).

Paired with ever increasing RAM usage it'll make my machine obsolete.

On the other hand I'm thankful for the selection of quite efficient applications that still allow me to do most things even with the luxury of a GUI .. to another 14 ^^
The replacement for nuclear and gas for heating is basically a big capital cost to convert blast ovens / furnaces etc to electric power. Then you need to replace gas and nuclear with wind / solar + battery storage.

Let's say you can get $600/kwH for storage? If you need to cover let's say 18 hrs of energy needs (electricity and heat using electricity) that would give a sense of capital cost for the storage portion of the solar + wind package for germany as a whole? This excludes cost of conversion of course across the rest of things.

This push to dump nuclear and gas for wind / solar is going to come eventually, just not clear we are there yet in available supply / cost etc.

So I don't think its infinite, but extremely high and not overnight.
Russia is a pariah amongst the world for their invasion of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian American veterans flying to Poland to defend Ukraine right now are also breaking US law, but there will not be any legal consequences for their courage and bravery.

For another country to go after US citizens, the country has to first file paperwork in US federal court, and then, have a judge care enough to proceed.

What drugs are you on to think Russia has any standing in US court regarding _anything_ that happens in Ukraine?
Realistically, Russia just wants to cause chaos in Western Ukraine whilst rolling over the parts of Ukraine in the East where they have popular support.

Russia doesn't want to take areas it doesn't have popular support in. It just wants to do exactly what it did to Georgia, punish its opponents and annex the friendly bits.

Everyone's doom-mongering, but Russia has a clear strategy.

My experience has been that <noscript> is too unreliable to be usable: the problem is that a lot of users browsing "with JavaScript turned off" are actually browsing with it turned on but not executing (some arbitrary subset of!) the <script> tags on the page.

The way to achieve the same effect without this problem is to include the nojs content unconditionally, and then have your script delete it from the DOM somewhere far enough through execution that you're confident that your script and its dependencies are all running properly. Otherwise you end up in situations where the JS is broken because something is being blocked, but it's working just well enough that the browser isn't showing the nice message you wrote explaining what the problem is.
As opposed to other technologies out there, bitcoin does a very poor job as being money.
Why are you putting words in my mouth?

I never suggested that every scientist independently and recursively verify every piece of previous work. Work and verification of work builds on each other. And every once in a while, we have a major milestone that verifies that much of the work that went into accomplishing the milestone (such as the moon landing) is generally correct.

That's how we teach science to people. It's not just "here's the math and the science we know and it's totally right, just trust us bro". We say "here's the math and science we think is right, now let's do experiments along the way to periodically verify that the things we're teaching you actually generate real predictions that match reality".

Science is all about being suspicious and verifying. Many (if not all) of the greatest scientific discoveries came from people questioning the established "truth".
So, the bank can't flip a few bits in its databases and go "actually I have a quadrillion dollars now" because other people know how much money that bank should have based on transactions it has made? Do I have that right?

Seriously I have wondered about this for decades. I don't know why this would be obvious to anyone.
> Unless you can find a contractor who will remodel your bathroom for gold (or god help them, bitcoin), or a food vendor who will take gold instead of your local currency (at an equivalent rate) then when you actually need goods and services, you convert to a local currency, which is taxed.

I'm not sure if you've spent any time hanging around in the world of illegal immigrants, but in my family's circles, there _are_ contractors that are loose family friends of ours who _do_ take gold in order to perform services. Often the gold is repurposed into jewellery or otherwise sold to other immigrant-owned businesses. Eventually someone in the immigrant network can wash the gold clean. Members of our extended family fled civil war by holding jewellery on their person , and there are stories of others who melted their jewellery down and travelled with it, and used these to fund their lives in Western nations they emigrated to. Now that my family's country has politically stabilized this is a lot rarer and as such I don't know, at least in our extended network, anyone who still washes gold clean.
Putin was well aware of all the possible sanctions when he gave the order, so he believes that he is prepared for the consequences.

And no, it doesn't actually work like that. If the West does come up with sanctions that significantly affect the quality of life in Russia, the Russian government will simply use it as fuel for its propaganda that the West is out to get Russia (to remind, that's the stated motivation for the invasion!).
Sorry, but I have a standard of not engaging with people who use the term "bootlicking" like this, because I've literally not once in my life seen someone use that term and also engage in an honest conversation.
