When I read this I had to do a double-take that I missed something. What divisive topic?? Oh it's NFTs. Who cares.

I don't know. If we shitposted about NFTs in our corporate blog and any potential customers were offended, then... seems fine to me? I can think of infinite worse topical things to post.

Aside, we've turned away potential customers that are too tied with crypto as we do not want to be associated broadly with that space.
It’s all information our days though.
My response to that is the same as it has historically been. We don't need a wall to keep our people in. If you wish to go to North Korea, you are free to do so.

Fair warning though, it doesn't work the same way in reverse.
It seems like the extinguishing agent would likely spread embers based on how concussive it looked.

You’re essentially looking to take them out of business (which is fine by me) but fires are never this small or controlled. They’re usually in an area of 1-5 acres and I don’t see how this setup scales to that magnitude.

I didn’t read all of the comments but I didn’t read any that mentioned this.
You do realize the India has 1.4B+ population.. So, even a small percentage is huge in absolute terms...
Russians (some of them, to clarify) associate the current Ukrainian regime with Nazism/fascism. After all, far right groups were a major part of the 2014 revolution/putsch.

if only the tank's control system ran on ios/android ..jokes aside, doing such a thing would actually galvanize the russian civilian population to support the government.
To be fair, it is slightly off topic. I hope we get more articles on the war which go in depth about the tactics, operations, etc.
Interesting, that is a good point: http://lawiscool.com/2010/02/22/are-there-inalienable-rights...

But the constitutional rights and freedoms such as freedom of expression, a right against arbitrary detention or imprisonment, and even our right to life, liberty and security, are not absolute. The Charter leaves loopholes for the federal Parliament, provincial legislatures, or even judges to limit or take away any rights or freedoms. There are no inalienable rights in Canada.
Yea, the US weapons going to the Azov Battalion are certainly not undermining that case.
This is the most common misconception about our business. Bandwidth, when you're small. But the scale economics in bandwidth are unlike almost anything else. As you get more and more bandwidth, the cost per bit drops until, in most places, it will go to zero. If you know those dynamics are present in a market, you can forward price knowing that you'll get to those scale advantages. Today, servicing a new free customer is virtually costless to us. So, to this college-bound customer and others, welcome.
Since most developers/companies nowadays will choose an engine to start, I highly suggest you made this into a Unity/Unreal/Godot plugin/addon, this should be popular.
If I had a penny for every time someone on HN responds with something like this - "just become more disciplined and you don't need X" - I'd be a millionaire. Doesn't matter what it is, type systems, memory safety, a better UI for Git… there's always someone ready to chime in with how their workflow means these problems don't happen, or, even better, asking the question why would anyone need this?

Yes, why would anyone need better search or a faster, easier to organise file system? I can't think why.
I don't fault OP for brainstorming ideas, especially since I assume its done with the intent of finding ways to protect civilians, but you point out what is critical here: the west cannot give up on the Russian people. By-and-large they do not support this act of war and the best way to further our interests is to continue to foster a desire for change in them.

Ukraine's president is Jewish. But also somehow a neo-nazi. Got it.
How horrible for those that will die now, and over time for anyone in Ukraine who wants the right to express dissent with government policies without being bullied, harrassed, harmed or killed for it. This is a right worth fighting for, for ourselves and others, and always will be.
I don't know what the Azov battalion is, but I don't think shelling Kiev has much to do with them.

Edit: They're a far-right/neo-Nazi group in the Donbas, apparently.
Nothing wrong with it, but it distorts popularity metrics for India-related content.
Well I appear to have been implicitly quite wrong. While it’s not clear Russia will try to hold Ukraine (“quagmire”), it does appear to have launched a full invasion. Supposedly to “demilitarize” it — who knows what that will turn out to mean, but hopefully it does not involve a long term occupation. In terms of minimizing loss of life, at best we can hope for a Gulf War level annihilation and then speedy withdrawal, targeting the Ukrainian military, and mass destruction of civilian fundamental infrastructure, and worst of all, lots of civilians killed. There appear to have been many war crimes in that war, so I don’t offer it as an example of a “good war”. But I’m also not optimistic that even that example will be the maximum extent.
Chomsky was wrong on aspects of the Khmer Rouge in the 70s due to lack of information, but he absolutely does not deny it as genocide.

I believe order and chaos are the two most predominate forces in nature. Russia is a very chaotic nation (granted they made the RD-180 rocket engines, but they murdered Korolev) Life favors the ordered.
> Your analogy is a great demonstration why reasoning-by-analogy fails

It's a matter of understanding what the analogy is giving you. In many cases, as above, it's merely a foothold, a way of getting started understanding what something is through partial identification with something already known. From that point, the differences between the two can be clarified.

You can think of it in terms of compressing descriptions: let's say you need to describe an SUV to someone; you could start by saying "it's like a truck but [...]," and remove a lot of the redundancy you'd get by starting from scratch.

AFAICT people who think there's something wrong with reasoning-by-analogy are analyzing it with the false assumption that people are just doing "X is like Y" rather than "X is like Y EXCEPT [...]," while also having an understanding on some level of the imprecision/limits of the partial identification.

That people are out there reasoning with analogies thinking they form perfect, limitless mappings between the domains involved seems like an imaginary problem.
I think they had a whole set of chipset based products that are beginning to move of package. Turning these off and on via software makes sense(think quick assist for compression acceleration). These require integration effort, and aren’t something like a compiler flag.

I would also argue you aren’t subsidizing the feature, they are subsidizing your budget chip.
Is this any different than any other military intervention America watched idly over the past century? Not really. In the "infallible" 1970s-1990s you might be remembering, we were casually ignoring plenty of similar actions around the world that make this present intervention seem pretty benign and slow moving. American soft power was over when the failure of the Korean war made it clear that all that could be done against a major nuclear power is a stalemate.
It's funny, or maybe sad, how so many people did not see this coming. All the propaganda and social engineering to get Biden associated with Ukraine so that when he tried to throw his hat in the ring, his own country will be alarmed.

Going to end up looking like a fucking 9000 IQ play by Russia here, but hopefully the world proves me wrong.
Yep, just a week ago they were in "ridicule west for saying that the attack is cominh". Biden was right all the time.
> Where is the best place to invest money as the market falls? No sense in letting a crisis go to waste.

There is an invasion with innocent people in the the line fire and you’re worried where to be invest to profit from it.

Kinda hoping it was sarcasm, but suspect it wasn’t…
Russia is not a democracy. What its people want is irrelevant. They have no meaningful agency.
It does a lot for global peace right up until our extinction. We don't need thousands of nukes to maintain deterrence. We should reduce our nuclear stockpile to the smallest number that still maintains deterrence.
The "why" is a complicated question that goes to the core character of the nations involved.

Russia by nature feels insecure about her borders, and always has. There's a long history of invasion that has left a trauma to this day. The one thing that Russia fears more than anything else is encirclement.

To this end they have over the centuries embarked on numerous territorial expansions and treaties to create buffer zones between themselves and potential enemies, the most recent of which was the USSR (which proved too costly to maintain).

When the Russians couldn't keep their "union" going, they entered into negotiations with Western powers about what would happen with these now-free states. This is where things get a little murky, because the Russians insist that they'd received assurances that NATO would not expand into former Soviet states, whereas the West emphatically maintains that no such assurances were given. The higher ups in the Kremlin firmly believe that the West broke its word, and is thus untrustworthy.

As NATO expanded further and further Eastward, Russia's insecurities intensified, and the Ukraine was considered to be the last bastion of resistance to encirclement. This is why Russia has spent the past decade meddling in Ukrainian affairs, and why they've stepped up meddling in American politics (Trump is an isolationist and nationalist, which is why Russia favored him).

As to what triggered this latest move, that's anyone's guess. Maybe they got some intel that the Ukraine really was going to gain full NATO membership. Maybe not, and they just got a little too worried about it... We'll probably never know. But either way, this current invasion is a drastic effort to keep the Ukraine out of any military alliances with the West.

IANAE, can only talk from personal experience and observing the people around me. Having started practicing intermittent fasting recently, one of the most interesting aspects of the experience is to see how my body's needs change according to my level of physical activity. On days when I'm not physically active, it's quite astonishing how little fuel my body needs.

We're all (in developed countries at least) raised on having three meals a day, day in day out, without much consideration for whether our body needs it.

In fact, we're conditioned to feel hungry three times a day, regardless of whether we really need to eat. I've also noticed how many people (myself included) would eat compulsively, or out of sheer boredom.

Auden ended up hating this poem. He refused to have it published. Eventually he relented, but demanded a disclaimer saying her rejected the poem and regreted writing.

One of his complaints was that “we must love each other or die” is stupid because we all die regardless.

I think he buried some landmines so deep that he ended up stepping on them.
> The manufactures of aircraft engines are not doing the service on those engines. I would be hard pressed to think of an airline that gets GE and its ilk to service the engines.

Many airlines and fleet operators of all sizes "lease thrust." The airline signs a contract for X amount of thrust for Y planes, writes a check....and RR, GE, CFM, etc configure the engine's control unit to deliver that amount of thrust (which can be anything up to the engine's rating), and handle everything necessary to assure that the engines go vroom when they're supposed to.

That means maintenance/repairs, handling parts/supplies logistics, live monitoring via satellite telemetry and predictive analysis.

On your next flight one of the engines could be showing signs of future failure or accelerated wear and the parts will be on their way to the shop, time booked on the mechanics schedules, and airline alerted to the plane coming out of service for X amount of time to accommodate the repair, before the plane is even half-way to its destination.

I don't know why you're speaking so authoritatively on a subject you don't know the first thing about.
We would protect them. If Russia nuked Kyev goodbye surface of the earth. Likewise if Ukraine still had nukes and sent one at moscow.
This is a tragedy. This is what we get for enabling weak willed leaders and appeasers. People like to joke when basketball players go and visit dictatorships and companies do business with mass murderers. Well here is the result. Another war and more death. We need to have zero tolerance for these psychopathic dictators and their families. Full embargoes. Isolate them to their tiny hell holes and never let them leave.

Fuck the "economy". Freedom is the most important thing, how many more millions need to die before we understand this?

Fortunately, I'm already away from Google, using only for Android (which I hate, but I also hate Apple. Love BB).
NATO (the US) is funding Nazi nationalists that wear swastika tattoos and think Bandera was good. They are doing this because Ukrainians don't want a civil war, so it's hard to find people to fight and die. Therefore, we pick the moderate rebels as we are so fond of doing.
> Russian tanks and artillery don't use the Google Play Store.

But the wives and children of those who move them do. People in the West don't seem to notice a crucial aspect of modern Russia: extended families of those in charge live in the West. They study in Stanford and Harvard, mingle in Aspen, have holiday homes in the Hamptons. Russia is merely a piggy bank to finance that lifestyle. They are at the mercy of Western governments, because they've turned Russia into a stagnating shithole that even at its best is far below the upper-middle class standard in the West. Without access to Western resources, from mansions in Knightsbridge to accounts on Instagram, all that looted money becomes worthless.

All you need to do is let them sleep in the bed they've made. Freeze bank accounts, confiscate property, deny visas. Make them live that global jet-set lifestyle in Rostov oblast.

When people are convinced that there is only one way, then the propaganda worked.
> Russians associate the current Ukrainian regime with Nazism/fascism.

I guess you are speaking for majority of Russians. Is there an independent survey to back it up?
Maybe because the U.S. military isn't bombing the Ukrainian cities right now?

And it wasn't the U.S.A. who sent troops to the Crimea and annexed in 2014?
This is too simple. Ukraine and Russia, Orthodox and Catholics, Polish, Ukrainians and Russians have had a varied history in the proximate territories.

Despite the bluster of "I'm the only one who's gone toe to toe with Putin" there is only so much anyone can do in this situation. If KSA decided to invade one of its neighbors, there is only so much anyone could do because doing anything would severely disrupt energy. But in the Caucasus and Dnieper areas there, I mean you have nukes involved. Like India and Pakistan.

Then there is the promise we made not to station missiles in territories bordering Russia and the whole Orange Revolution Obama thing. That's a big deal to them just as it would be a big deal if Russia stationed missiles in Mexico or Cuba. We'd throw a fit too. Just as China would throw a fit if we stationed missiles in Taiwan.

The US could do the same thing. People like to complain about how much a bully the US has been (Chile, Guatemala, Vietnam, etc)... Now they are seeing how real bullies act in Russia and a lesser degree China (but they are on the sidelines biding their time) They can do what they want because they have little constraint --with big players it's self-imposed.
