Yes - Chernobyl is inside the massive "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone," a zone which is conveniently only ~80 miles from the capital of Ukraine, and is just a wide swatch of empty land and abandoned buildings, perfect for parking military equipment. The radiation levels, though high compared to the rest of Ukraine, is low enough to not be a risk for their short-term stay.

That was the stated goal for bringing steel production back to the USA at least, not sure about the imputed goals of other manufacturing jobs, but it should follow a similar line of thought, redundancy of critical-supply-chain parts.
Alternatively you can use Rust beta today: `rustup toolchain install beta && rustup default beta`. You'll be doing everyone a favor, as the fact that relatively few people use beta regularly is part of the reason that this issue didn't surface until the last minute. (Plenty of people use beta for CI, which is great, but CI obviously doesn't exercise incremental compilation).

My apartment in Lausanne had a bathroom and a kitchen, except the kitchen was one stovetop and a sink in a small cabinet next to the door. It was small, still cost me 900 CHF/month (in 2006!), but Lausanne is expensive.

I don't think those would be allowed in most (American) cities either, I don't think 20 sqm is rentable.

> Unless they're planning on these people never improving their situation to the point of moving out and for the unit to be destroyed in the process, the units can be reused.

You'd be surprised to learn how little planning is done for the next step. Authorities (at least here in SF) are myopically focused on moving people into housing; there is no step 2 after that. That's why we have to keep building more housing, as people are not graduating out of the housing to make room for others.
Businesses also need to have customers. No clothes maker was forced to manufacture in poor countries, but the alternative was to simply stop existing since insufficient customers are willing to pay the price premium for purely American made clothes. Hence the only solution would have been legislation forcing domestic manufacturing.
Sociologist Greg Yudin explained what the leadership might think in an article[1] (he wrote the same on Facebook in Russian on January 19).

TL/DR: Putin and the exKGB elites are dissentful of the cold war lost to the US, see NATO as a direct threat (even though military generals don't think it is), and the internal dissent with Putin seems to them inspired from abroad. They were shocked by Libyan rebel and by the Ukrainian in 2014. Of course, the only thing they do is brute force, and every step they make only makes the conflict more real.

Regarding the common folk, here's a survey[2] from December or January. TL/DR: they accepted the propaganda's POV that it's all the West's fault. When shown evidence of earlier military build-up, they'd suggest it was fake news.

It was noteworthy change for me as I was considering PS for a new project but was a bit weary of the read limit and unwittingly hitting it. Now with the bigger numbers I feel that I have less to worry about and could just dive in.

And since as you mentioned from the post its a popular complaint so I figured others might be interested in this change as well.

Homeless-care services like this are the equivalent of dealing with tech debt. Every homeless person incurs gigantic recurring costs, and to make them no longer homeless requires even larger temporary costs. All of this could have been avoided by solving for the tech debt that leads to homelessness, but there's apparently no real appetite for investing resources into that.

So now we have to pay down our tech debt. As you can see from the reaction to programs like this, we're more likely to simply sink escalating maintenance costs into the existing system instead.

>which oils would you use for frying and baking?

Grapeseed oil is my go to.

It's fairly neutral in flavor (slight nuttiness), has high smoke point, and is one that is a source of Vitamin E.

For frying and then roasting, I use avocado oil, but keep in mind that many avocado oil bought on the shelves are already oxidized or rancid. There's a handful of brands that tested to be pure, one being Chosen Foods (that I use).

Two strategic points off the top of my head:

One, the railhead. Afaik it’s operational and modern, as they used it for moving material for constructing the sarcophagus. Goes straight to Kiev. Makes for easy onwards transport of materiel from Belarus.

Two, a gun to the head of Europe. They could threaten to destroy the containment, and/or to bomb the reactor building to aerosolise as much radioactive material as possible.
I doubt it will end up built. But losses would only be like 50% with current tech, which is actually tolerable nowadays because solar panels are so cheap.

We should only be worried about an attack if the the effects on commerce and military retaliation becomes negligible. That's when China will strike.

A very cute bit of coding.

But: I've always wondered who uses these "back to the top" buttons, and why?

Until quite recently I hardly ever had reason to go back to the top of the page—I was much more likely to click a link or click the back button—and if I did a quick tap of the home key or flick of the touchscreen usually did the trick. Conveniently, both gestures work even if you've not gotten all the way down to the "back to the top" button.

More recently with Chrome on iOS I find myself wanting to get to the top so I can use the pull-down-then-right gesture to close the tab. With really long pages sometimes a single flick isn't enough to get me all the way to the top—but then, on a really long page I'm also unlikely to have gotten all the way to the bottom.
> I think in that case we will just wind up in nuclear war.

I don't think so. I emphasize Russia's history in order to explain why it is entirely credible that Putin does not intend to continue invading country after country after the Ukraine. He is not trying to conquer countries just for the sake of conquering. He is trying to establish a buffer around Russia. And, in doing so, to consolidate his domestic political power.

In other words, your belief that Putin must be bent on invading country after country was based on your inability to see any other rational reason why he would be invading the Ukraine. I am giving you such a rational reason. The fact that the beliefs on which it is based appear to you to be out of sync with current reality in Europe is irrelevant because your beliefs about current reality in Europe are not driving Russia's actions; Russia's beliefs are. Rationality does not require that all of one's beliefs be correct, only that one's actions make sense in the light of one's beliefs.

Even if you believe this response, recent actions (the Russian invasion happening) prove their analysis was completely off the mark. Their site now has a bunch of articles covering the same invasion they assured us would never happen.
I think you have no idea what entails what you are talking about. The world of semi has moved enormously since eighties, when the only country outside of USA with serious chip industry was Japan. Aside from "end of the pipe" fabs, and fab owners, everything else moved out, or never ever been a thing in USA.

US semiconductor equipment from LAM, and Applied Materials are more than half imported parts. US semi industry never used OSATs, until it had to ship their chips to Asia for that, and thus missed out on most of new packaging, and test tech which evolved outside of the US. Similarly for almost everything else.

Replacing Asian material suppliers for the US will be as hard as for China to develop a domestic photolithography stepper.
I think these are good questions.

You can find a nice graphic of homelessness by state here:
https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1300&fn[]=2...

States like CA and NY seem to have the most growth in homeless population. That might be considered supporting evidence.

"They do not create the economy, migration, weather, real estate development, etc. etc. (though they some limited effect on all of them). There are many other powers in the world. The government's power to control events is pretty limited." I disagree with this statement, look at all the shutdowns as of late. The government seems to have almost unlimited power which court systems are unwilling to check, they can literally shut entire sectors of the economy down and stop home showings, in direct contradiction to your statement. In normal times they hold enormous influence over these sectors with licensing requirements, regulatory schemes, and political corruption. The result is migration, which also as of late has resulted in net outflows in CA, NY, and IL.
> The city isn't spending $837K to house one homeless person, they've spent that on housing the first homeless person in that unit.

Unless they are housing functioning tenants (the easier homeless cases that don't involve mental illness or substance abuse, the ones that can get back on their feet with some help), those units are likely to get damaged quickly and require extensive refurbishment within a year or two. Hopefully they are using discretion in who gets that housing, or it will wind up costing them another $100k every couple of years to keep the unit inhabitable.
Firefox was quality wise on a higher level than IE 4, and it didn't loose any of that. IE got better over the years, made a massive step forward with Edge and now again with Chromium based Edge. And finally MS is approaching Firefox in terms of quality. What kind of funding does MS have, compared to Firefox? And still they are outsourcing the hardest part of browser development, while Mozilla is still doing it on their own, as a much smaller company. Chrome gained on Firefox, not because FF got worse. It did, because it is a real competitor, made by a company with an unfair competetive advantage (an even larger competetive advantage than MS has).

What about Opera? Did FF decline quality wise against that? Or Safari? No, of course not. FF didn't decline, it now has a real formidable competitor.

I think you forgot your own argument. Let me remind you: "If Ukraine were to join NATO, there would be a NATO base inside that range [529 mi] in days."

Russia-Ukraine Crisis/War: Info and Ways to Help
Database reads/writes are really hard (read: impossible) to predict unless you are already in production. Leading to thoughts like: "1 Billion reads!! I'll never use that much..." Once you cross the line, the overages kick in.

That being said, this does appear to be absurdly cheap compared to competitors. Amazon Aurora appears to be sitting at around $200 a month for 1 billion reads, excluding writes/transfer/storage/etc.

CockroachDB Serverless includes 250M "request units" (request units include reads and writes and individual requests can costs multiple units depending on size). They charge an extra $1 per month per 10M "request units," so $75 to get to 1B reads at least.

Am I missing something? What's the catch?
Theoretically the whole area could be turned into a dirty bomb with a few strategic strikes and it would be carried down a river destroying vast areas of Ukraine for millennia.
That was not unique to the left.
It’s worth noting that Chinese incursions into Taiwan’s ADIZ are a routine occurrence and don’t really represent any increase in aggression above the baseline:

I don't disagree with what you wrote, but

> the healthcare impact of Covid becomes equivalent to the healthcare impact of seasonal flu

Unfortunately, and again, I agree with what you wrote, but I think we're going to find out that COVID is and will continue to be much worse than the flu and maintain an ongoing strain on the hospital system. Being endemic has nothing to do with how mild or destructive a disease is, just its prevalence. For example, the spread of HIV has done nothing to reduce its virulence or ultimate death rate (it's still near 100% fatal, we just have better anti-virals now). COVID is going to be a slow burn on society, raising death rates and debilitating side effects for years, maybe decades. We aren't going back to 2019 for a loooong time.
Obviously the monopoly was due to the fact that they were able to sell it at the cheapest price for the required purity.

There should be no significant problems to create production capacities in other places, but then the price would become higher and, more importantly, a few months or even years might be needed until the neon production would be increased enough to compensate for a sudden loss of the source from Ukraine.
Time is the crucial part, IMO.

The DoD has identified the loss of manufacturing capability as a national security risk. Maybe lower labor costs were the impetus of off-shoring manufacturing, but nearly 40 years since globalization took hold there's also a lot of manufacturing that has to go overseas simply because America is no longer able or willing to do it. Could the US bring back that capability? As you said, even if there was the will it wouldn't happen overnight.
People in India are consuming way more of everything, including ghee, than they did three decades ago. Ghee was a luxury then and carefully portioned out. Growing up I ate a lot more Dalda than ghee, simply as a matter of what we could afford. Traditionally ghee was even more of a luxury than in my time. Outside the traditional cowbelt areas, ghee was substantially more expensive relative to other goods prior to Operation Flood. So while Indians have been eating ghee for millennia, they probably ate a tiny fraction of how much we eat it now.
To me, fearmongering is something specific. People fearmonger about climate change when they act like nothing can be done or that no action will be good enough. It's a form of nihilism. COVID, same deal - people who spent months trying to use shaming and guilting of people, at the expense of those who got sick who weren't being reckless/antivax/whatever are fearmongerers. Those who are just concerned and aren't acting as a mouthpiece - very different. Let's not do a 180 on the social acceptability of being an asshole; there are upper and lower bounds to be observed.
The 'first national lockdown' is key I think - the first one was fairly novel, you got a break from school/work in some cases, more time with the kids, you felt safe. It was (for me at least) the second and third that really hurt mentally, because you wondered when it was ever going to end.

And why not allow them now? If you compare the housing market to the job market, the general opinion (in the US) is that there should be very few restrictions for jobs in terms of low salaries and work conditions (and the lack of unions allows that). The same reasonning should allow to have low quality housing but cheap.
But there are no downside for the ones who profit from employing people with very low salaries and very poor work conditions, whereas letting exist cheap housing indeed makes the property value around them go down. So it is really a choice made today not to reduce homelessness.

You clearly have no imagination.

When you are 70 years old, spending half your life revered as a great leader of a nation, you would be desperate not have your historical legacy ruined by losing a war and possibly your status and pride in your final years.

I'm definitely of the opinion that this would be an unlikely scenario, but then, are you willing to bet the future of the planet on a hunch that a single person that you don't know personally is actually not unhinged and desperate?

I don't know about you, but I'm personally going to avoid betting on anything that has a mere 1% chance of resulting in nuclear winter.
Modern economic theory doesn't disallow subsidies - it's very possible to exist in a primarily capitalist society with either tariffs or domestic business subsidies to ensure certain key industries remain on local shores - it might be politically infeasible for such laws to be passed in the US, but it is a very reasonable response.

Nothing is a mild climate when you are homeless. Its going to be 39* tonight on the streets of LA. If all you have is a nylon tent and no blanket you are probably going to join the ranks of homeless who have died from hypothermia this year in LA, which outnumbers the people who have died from hypothermia in NYC because they actually build homeless shelters in NYC. Six months from now the problem will be flipped and you will be contending with heat stroke as the pavement heats up to 95*, and the city generally lacks widespread cooling centers. Honestly a bigger reason why homeless is so overt here is because its not criminalized. You can smoke crack or shoot up meth openly and police in LA don't care, but try even smoking a joint in Baton Rouge or wherever else and you will be sent to jail.
