Exactly. Surely being able to actually configure the metadata tags on a webpage correctly must be more valuable than being able to remember what the different configuration options do years later, no?

> how many countries will need to agree before shutting down SWIFT access

Its HQ is in Belgium, so technically, this can be a unilateral decision by Belgian PM De Croo. In practice, as it was the case with Iran, US and EU have to reach political agreement before De Croo would budge.
The author says he doesn't expect perfect answers

> Note that since our technical discussion is a conversation. I don’t expect a perfect answer from anyone. If I hear some right keywords, I know that the candidate knows the concept, and I try to push them in the right direction.

If I were being interviewed, I would probably say "yeah all those meta tags are metadata for various consumers. The apple related ones are probably for tailoring the page for display on apple devices"

Hopefully that's good enough, if I were doing the interview I wouldn't expect more than that.
It's not that there's any "difficulty" in figuring it out, but it's literally part of the standard. An HTML 5 page will not render correctly without <!DOCTYPE html> even in modern browsers.

Ill thought denuclearization?

They are expensive and unsafe especially if you think about sabotage, not to mention the most recent problem with reactors.

I was asking in some forums a few days before the invasion whether Russia would start pumping money into crypto, especially things like Monero. The response I got (aside from accusing me of selling crypto, even though I don't own any), was that it's seen as too unstable and too unpredictable an asset for oligarchs and so forth to put their money into.

Switzerland also indicated they weren't doing anything about sanctions. There's other tax havens out there as well.

That seemed like a good point to me; why put your money in bitcoin or Monero when you could put it into gold, or keep your money in a Swiss account?

I'm sure these oligarchs have very solid ways of laundering money.

On the other hand, maybe this will be just the sort of thing that kicks of practical reasons for use of crypto. Today there's articles about huge donations to Ukraine in the form of BTC, so who knows.
A naive grid-lock would not quite be good enough for Factorio. Yes, there is a grid, but there's also a grid within that grid, if you mine a rock for instance there will be four pieces of rock lying within that one grid cell, and perhaps you want to pick up just one of them. Then there's combat which doesn't take place on the grid, sometimes you want to shoot a shell or a rocket between a few biters which don't neatly fit in any one cell, and they're moving quite quickly that you need a mouse pointer's freedom you shoot where you want.

It's an interesting problem, I'm looking forward to how they approach the proper controller support later in the year. I suspect Keyboard + Mouse will always be the most comfortable way to play though.
un - technical
> Is this really the important part?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you right, but if you're asking whether I think it's important that twitter either apologized or at least "apologized," I do indeed.

The major social media institutions have touted themselves to be champions of getting the word out and a replacement for all other avenues of communication, leading to the demise of self-hosted (or, at least, self-moderated) blogs, websites, irc, regular discussion forums, and everything in between. But they continually screw up this responsibility at the times when it matters most, and we have to hold them accountable for this. Look at how all of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accidentally blocked OSINT coming out of Israel and Palestine after similarly being DDOS'd with "report this tweet/image/post" from either employees of intelligence agencies, paid shills, or just "the other side" to hide the ground truths.

It's not OK for this to happen. It keeps happening. The lack of remorse indicates that regardless of intention or motive, there's no real vested interest in actually keeping avenues of grassroot journalism open on these platforms (it's probably not the kind of content that makes them muchmoney, so no surprise there).

In this case, there was no public apology (or "apology") - the "sorry for the inconvenience" was in one-on-one correspondence with the blocked OSINT account.
I think the main reason they did that, was there was simply not money in Ukraine to build replacement power plants during the 90s after the USSR collapsed. They had no other option than to keep the plant running, or risk their entire grid collapsing. Very scary to think about having to make that decision.

> When Western nations threatened Russia’s access to Swift in 2014, Alexei Kudrin, a onetime finance minister close to President Vladimir Putin, estimated that it could reduce Russia’s gross domestic product by 5% in a year. Cutting Russia off from Swift could have ramifications for other nations as well, since Russia is a key energy supplier to Europe and countries rely on the Swift system to pay for fuel. Russian officials have repeatedly denied assertions that they intend to invade Ukraine.
Once nuclear waste has aged for a while the main radiological threats are a few fission products with a half-life around 30 years (Cesium 137 and Strontium 90) and then some transuranics (Plutonium 239) that have half-lifes more like 40,000 years.

Thus if somebody dispersed spent fuel in the environment it would not create mass causalities that would kill or injure combatants but instead there would be a concern that it would cause health problems for random individuals over a very long time.

I'd compare that to a dirty bomb which is probably not that much deadlier than a plain bomb (if you had material that was dangerously radioactive enough to harm the public the bomb makers would be killed by it) except that people who are near it might suffer psychologically because they imagine they might get lung cancer because they inhaled plutonium particles.
So why do you care about the cost of NATO? I should care, I pay taxes in the US. And oh wait…
I always forgot since it’s new: I’m actually a US citizen as well.

That does not change my view : US should not be surprised to bear the brunt of the cost. Since it’s their toy.
And my personal wish would be for that alliance to be replaced by something controlled by EU.

Then if the US want to keep their base, they can ask.
IDEs and Proc-Macros
I often wonder how money is stored.

It can't be just a number on a computer in a bank, right? Otherwise some Russian bank could just increase that number to whatever they like. And say "Look, we own 100 Trillion USD. Now let's go shopping.".

So I guess USD needs to be recognized by the US somehow?

Could the US simply "void" all USD that are owned by Russia?
incentives tend to follow other incentives. As noted above, the best way in the industry most of the time is to move companies to get better compensation, and sometimes better workplace conditions as well. Companies don't incentivize people staying around. At bigger companies sometimes - not always though - you can make progress in these areas by getting promoted, however that only works for N percent of a workforce at any given place.

If companies incentivized retention with realistic paths to better compensation and growing your career, they'd see lower turn over with these systems.

There's a reason that in recent times there were newsworthy stories about companies giving out retention bonuses and salary increases when some sticks started to plateau / lose value (and therefore RSUs not retaining value), because its relatively rare
You need to be able to save up enough for a rent deposit (often 2-3 months of rent), afford moving costs, coordinate support for kids if you're moving away from existing support (other family/friend/etc), and deal with a lot of stress of moving out of town. If you have something better you're moving to, but that's often hard for people to coordinate. Spending all that to go get a similar pay job, perhaps in same industry, on the hope/chance that you'll be around more/better opportunities... it's a hard call for many folks to do, assuming they can even think that far ahead or strategically. Many folks are likely more consumed with day to day (especially if they've got kids).
let's elaborate on your standard here:

I'm GP and I never mapped human emotions to other species. Amongst many species I see this with, I looked at cephalopods and can see sentience. This was unrelated to me consuming them, they taste yummy and there are plenty of them.

So with your standard, I was wrong and my inferior brain was anthropomorphizing, until a greater consensus was suddenly reached from researchers and governments that makes me right? I mean its not something I was advocating for, its just surprising to me how many weren't perceiving this at all. Like when you find out that some people don't have visual dreams, or find out that you're the person that doesn't have visual dreams and everyone else wasn't speaking in hyperbole and actually have a different experience.
Ok, that's fair, it's in the standard.

I suppose my real question is (and maybe this is a discussion that's been beaten to death and I'm merely ignorant of it): why does the standard require it, if modern technology seems to have obviated the need for it?

Am I too far off the mark with "backwards compatibility" as a scientific wild-ass guess or is it more complicated than that? And if so, with what kind of devices/browsers that would still be in use today?
Russia did not even attempt to build a coalition for defending the separatist regions of Ukraine because, as this article clearly lays out, his justification is bullshit that no country has bought. (At best, China is looking the other way.) It's a clear case of invasion.
Oil from Saudi Arabia is no less bloody. The Yemen war is dragging on for another year, and the civilian toll is unbelievable. I don't think the concept of justice is the primary motivator here, or at the very least, it's an utterly compromised sense of justice.

But Russia can be an ally against certain enemies like isis because interests align. Similiar to China.

Ukraine is a democracy ally which puts them on another level and talks about them joining nato also put them on a different level.
I think I agree that Mac is "ahead" as the best well rounded system right now. But I wouldn't say the competitors are unusable by any means. I have a mac that I use for zoom and MS applications, but i have a linux laptop for development (thinkpad) that is fine for me.

Macs don't have the same range of cheaper options as other computers. I'd like to hear a comparison of a macbook vs whatever the MS surface equivalent is. Are they not competitive?

All told, I would almost certainly buy another mac first if I needed a new laptop. But I don't believe we lack options from other vendors.
Oh, that was a possibility if they were willing to spend money on that in the face of famine and unrest, given a lot of the expertise there find themselves out of a job.

Before the Georgia invasion, Russia moved all its gold out of the U.S. Several years later, it completed selling is U.S. sovereign debt and buying China debt to replace it.

Learning Morse Code it's tempting to start slow. The problem is you get skilled at "slow Morse" and it's hard to speed up, since the sounds and feel change. An alternative is to learn with fast Morse characters or words from the beginning but with long gaps between them for thinking time. Then as you need less thinking time you can shrink the gaps and be fast.

I haven't seen online discussions of this idea for language learning, but I wonder if the same technique could be used? Hear snippets of fast French, words or short phrases, with long gaps for you to think what they said. Then as you understand quicker, need less thinking time, shrink the gaps. ?

Maybe even as simple as a "press space for next sentence when ready, or R to repeat".

[It's also an interesting thing about language comprehension / artificial intelligence. After hearing a thing in English I have awareness of whether or not I understand it, and can correct small misunderstandings without further input, only time and imagination, e.g. "it makes no sense in context, maybe they said this instead" or "I just realised that someword said in their accent would sound like that. It might be someword they said"].
Having grown up in Soviet Union I am not entirely ignorant of these facts.

However, times have changed and new generations have grown up knowing nothing of the experiences of the past. They watch Avengers, Naruto, and Game of Thrones, they play Call of Duty on Xbox live, they travel to Europe and Turkey for vacations. And yet 70% of them support Putin’s government.

Perhaps waking up one morning and finding the Iron Curtain drawn once again will convince them much more effectively than watching a Youtube video will, that this isn’t the course they are willing to continue to support.

>You mean "fought their draft" in the sense of "avoiding being sent to Vietnam"?

No... fought their draft as in "We think the draft is bull, this war is bull, and we don't want to go."

Hey, I could be wrong - I wasn't there to observe first hand what happened in the 60s and 70s. I only assumed the Vietnam draft was unpopular based on pop culture. Maybe boomers didn't sit around college campus blocking up traffic, chanting slogans, and smoking pot? Maybe there were never peace marches? The soundtrack of Boomer's youth? Largely works of fiction! 80s anti-war films? Anti-American propaganda!

If you're telling me only those who actively avoided the draft were against it, I believe you.

I should have just used my own eyes and ears to observe what Boomers have done since then. Baby Boomers in Congress and in the White House sent troops to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, with overwhelming approval at the time. Yes, there was lots of backtracking and second guessing after we stuck of fingers in those pies, but I guess that's a development that's arisen after Vietnam. Maybe the problem with those wars was there were no Commies to shoot.

I just didn't realize how much blood-lust Boomers held deep inside.

I stand corrected. Thank you for setting me straight.
They wont, Which is why I said in the last sentence the west are clearly losing.

US Food and Agriculture are already beholden to China. From corn, soy beans, potatoes to Pork ( Smithfield is owned by China ), Tyson has 25-30% of their business in China. If you buy Beef or Lamb from AUS you have a 25% chance buying it from Chinese Owner. Or To Tech from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, where the growth are in E-Sport or PC Gaming in China. Manufacturing or assembly where they have a contingency plan to Foxconn as ICT or more commonly known as Luxshare. RISC-V ( Nearly all Chinese startup getting on RISC-V gets much better funding ) and IMG PowerVR, ARM China. YMTC against Samsung and Micron on NAND and DRAM, BOE against Samsung and LG on OLED. If you exclude Apple and Samsung, the rest of Smartphone market are 80% Chinese Brands. Solar Panel is partially all Chinese. NBA. ( And English premier league which seems to have some following in US, they will be targeting F1 soon ). Even Amazon clothing are losing to SHEIN. Unless someone make a revolutionary leap in battery otherwise the current trajectory would be China winning the price / Whr. ( Not even Tabless Battery from Tesla / Panasonic ). They are gunning for electric car manufacturing and are also the largest customer of Boeing and AirBus. But are working on their own JET. The increasing percentage of patents on 5G to Video Codec from China. To inside influence on tech companies via employees. We have another thread about Reddit and Youtube moderation, that happened already in 2019 during Hong Kong protest. And Tik Tok I mentioned in [1], expanding financial services like AliPay and WeChat Pay via tourist influence. And all these circulate back to SWIFT and US dollar as dominant currency. I could talk about it for hours and this list is just for US, there are whole lots of other things from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and SEA perspective.

For a long time I try not to be blunt but I am sorry I have to write this out so clearly. I hope Ukraine is enough of a woke up call.

> University of California: Can the Salton Sea geothermal field prevent the coming lithium shortage?.
https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/can-salton-sea-g...

We don't need to store every last kWh of power generated. A significant portion can be absorbed at time of generation by dispatching it to smart loads.

Lithium is also not the only storage technology we have. Pumped hydro, chemical storage, and heat storage.
