Russian troops could simply be operating under the premise that none of their actions would be necessary if the West hadn't meddled and created the Ukrainian crisis in the first place. It's that simple.

Who says we want them to stop [an arbitrary protest with presently unknown political stance, but argued using a trigger instance to try to get us to agree and comply with the stance the writer is making]?

Freedom is something Americans tend to hold dear; and that does mean “freedom for people that have a stance I don’t like to protest that stance”. Their right to protest keeps me having a right to protest.
This seems phyrric. Russia will win this war but the lower and more barbaric it stoops, the weaker it seems.
> Buzhinsky, when I met him in Moscow, had a warning for me. Those in the West who worried about the possibility of a major war breaking out in the Baltics were missing the real threat: Ukraine. The US, he feared, does not appreciate how far Russia is willing to go to avoid a defeat in Ukraine, and this miscalculation could pull them into conflict.

Just one of many passages hitting the mark. Creepy.
From the other comments on this thread, it seems like Steam was using a zero-confirmation payment validator of some kind. That makes bitcoin payments Steam accepted effectively a form of check, and if customers exploited this to double-spend bitcoin, then they paid steam with a hot check. Hence, fraud.

Should Steam used a different form of validation? Yeah, that would have let them reject some (most? all?) of these fraudulent transactions. But anyone exploiting that situation to double-spend coins was committing fraud just as much as if they had written a worthless check, used a stolen credit card, or tried to pass off a counterfeit $100 bill.
Also, Russian media have been forbidden from using the word "invasion" and reporting about civilian deaths. He is clearly losing ground among Russian citizens too, possibly among some of the richest oligarchs too, who for sure don't care a shit about deaths just like him, but could see their profits severely hit by real sanctions, assuming we (as Europe) will have the balls to impose them.
What did I say about sexual assault? That the rapist should be punished? I assure you that many women would love that.

We also have countless Muslim women, who by definition support Shariah (actually, the belief of any Muslim who does not accept Shariah is suspect - by definition, a Muslim supports Shariah [i.e. the Law (of God)]). But if you take your news from far leftist and far rightist sources, I wouldn't be surprised you'd be making such claims.

Islam does not treat women as second class, and in fact, has elevated her status and guaranteed her rights. Islam allows freedom of religion and belief. If you took some time to actually read how things were, you wouldn't be saying such things. Even Jewish historians admit that Jews had it best under Islam.

It's trivial to disprove your false claims, that honestly show ignorance with all due respect.
I don't think Russia has really made any efforts in Karelia, so it might basically look the same as when Finland lost it 80 years ago.
You make a good point about IO, I forgot how it's also not great about errors (but isn't there are an IO monad with better error treatment? -- it has been several years...). I also agree about granularity and tedium, but that's orthogonal to whether exceptions are the best way to approach such errors, and I don't think they are. Even Go's approach of explicit if-return is not tedium to me, but there are even less tedious approaches, that still let you handle the handle-able errors and do some last-ditch cleanup or just panic on the unhandle-able ones like indexing errors.

The interesting thing about Haskell exceptions are the async ones and the ability to `throwTo`, but I never really had a use for that, so on the whole, that was a bit of an encumbrance too. It's like trying to write exception safe C++ -- tedious and easy to get wrong. I remember a fair few sections of Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell that temporarily didn't handle exceptions correctly, and it often wasn't for pure pedagogical reasons. Great book though.

When saying things like this, it is better to contextualize by giving some information about where you live. Some people live in areas where temperatures go as low as -20~30 C and not leaving the heating on can damage the house infrastructure. In other areas, where the temperatures only go down to -2~3C, you can get away with never turning the heating on.
Russia has already lost more airplanes than the US did in the entirety of the Iraq war. (USA lost 24 fixed-wing aircraft in all of Iraq 2003 to 2009).

I do realize that this is a Ukrainian propaganda, but their claims are incredible: https://mobile.twitter.com/EuromaidanPress/status/1497643063...

7 aircraft shot down in a singular night, including 2x IL-76 MD just last night alone. Big, slow, 4-wing transport airplanes (carrying either 100+ paratroopers or heavy equipment to the front lines). These aren't drones they're shooting down, Ukrainians continue to threaten the logistical support Russia needs to feed the front lines.

We're no longer in "slightly higher cost" territory. We're in "Russians failed to disable Ukrainian's airforce and air-defenses... advanced _ANYWAY_ and are taking heavy losses" territory.

Yeah, Russia may win after this. But what's incredible... something completely unthinkable just a few days ago... is that the Ukrainians might actually win conventionally. Russia's failure to disable Ukrainian's air force is already a costly mistake, especially because Russia continues to advance despite being in a state of air-parity with the Ukrainians.

I think the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv is in trouble however. But there's video proof of entire convoys being blown up (https://mobile.twitter.com/JimmySecUK/status/149757339550817...) on their way to Kharkiv, definitely proving that the Ukrainian Air Force continues to fly.

There isn't a whole lot of room on those bridges for evasive maneuvers either.

I remember this coming up at the end of the USSR when Finland said that they didn’t want it.

Word was also spread around that it was polluted with nuclear crud etc so wasn’t worth taking back. The explanation that all the Finns had left 100 years ago makes more sense (though the nuclear pollution argument is sadly at least plausible - USSR was not particularly careful in that regard)
Oh wow, thanks!

In a way it also lead to the German invasion of the USSR. Seeing the disaster the Soviet army faced during the Winter War gave the Germans the confidence to invade.

This is an unwinnable war. The US and Russia could not even conquer Afghanistan - with a virtually non-existent army, and no allies to help Afghanistan.

As Ukraine is showing - they have a strong, well organized military. Beside a lack of anti-bomber missiles (Patriots) - they have everything they need to defend themselves.

They now have full support from almost the entire advanced world beside China and India. And it looks like they'll be getting some Patriot missiles within 24 hours.

Russia doesn't even have partial support from anyone. The best they can get is China and India trying to stay neutral - and it looks like China is starting to side with the rest of the world, with reports it has blocked all banks from lending money to Russia.

Indeed, but this is also Ukrainian strategy. It is in Ukrainian interest to push morale-increasing stories. Of course everything Russian media and government say needs to be taken as propaganda, but doing that while taking Ukrainian sides claims as highly accurate, is just wishful thinking.

If you accept that MAD only goes one way because one side doesn't care why can't that side conquer and rule the entire world after all for each nation the others nations plight is less than existential so they ought by that reckoning accept each nations plight until it is their turn.

Even when invaded being conquered represents a lesser loss than being blown up so one would logically either preemptively accept defeat or at least withhold your nukes while the enemy grinds you down using traditional means.

It would seem vastly more rational to work together to destroy the aggressor. If you really think current leadership will nuke you rather than be defeated then remove that leadership and see if the next leadership feels the same way.

I can see value in the future of VR/AR but I am curious about a few things.

- Will there be a balance of open source self hosted VR/AR solutions or will Meta dominate all of this? Along that line do any of the hardware developers provide unrestricted open source SDK's that are easy for developers to integrate into their software?

- Will everyone have to be tied into Meta and tracked around everything they do and Meta tracking everything that everyone looks at with transcripts of every conversation everyone has?

- How will companies incentivize all people to adopt this? Will this be dominated by introverts? Will I see the same variety of personality types in VR that I see in real life? I ask because VRChat is dominated by a specific sub-set of personality types or at least that was my experience.

> will Russia cross the red line?

Who knows ? And, furthermore, who will take the bet ?
For what it's worth, I generally agree with what you're saying here (and I vouched for your comment, because I thought it was an insightful contribution to the discussion).

I should clarify, though, that the "psychology" I am talking about applies more to the supporters of these political movements than to the politicians who lead them. It's completely possible for an intelligent manipulator to spout some narrative that appeals to the public's psychology, without them believing it themselves.

Your point still stands, though, that it's not enough to simply say "the leader is a liar, and their supporters are mad", because that reductionist framing is more likely to shut down any attempts at further understanding than to open the door to learning that there might be legitimate grievances that are leading to this "madness".

As for Putin, I think he is dangerously sane, but that's not to say that a psychoanalysis wouldn't reveal a helpful understanding of his motivations and weaknesses. For example, it seems that he spent his early life believing in (and working for) the greatness of his country which was destined to conquer the world (as if it were a game of chess played out across a world map), only to watch helplessly as that was all ripped away from him by the West. That could be psychologically devastating and create a trauma that has stayed with him for his whole life. I could well imagine that from his perspective, if he doesn't take back control of Ukraine, his whole life has been for nothing.
The New Yorker articles always feel like I'm reading a very expensive blogpost from a new college graduate. Some opinion on a topic is repeatedly characterized as fact, just because they have a lot of facts on hand.
This feels like propaganda for a cause that NATO doesn't really believe in enough to stop -- having never folded Ukraine in after the breakup of the USSR.

> The first day of the invasion was just that—the first day.

> In the eyes of the world and almost certainly history, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday was an epic miscalculation

From a Russia-first point of view, it's straightforward.
Ukraine will eventually join some sort of western coalition (NATO or by some other name in 100 years). He also would like the resources. It's a borderland (an English Channel of sorts) for Russia. Putin thinks he can run things like the USSR did and hold it. I think he can too. Would 200k US soldiers hold texas? Probably, at a cost.

When Putin negotiates to pull back, he'll keep his borderland and the fields with resources and Ukraine will be a bit smaller. Seems like a good bet.
Support for NATO membership has improved significantly in 2022, or rather, outright opposition towards joining NATO has decreased. At the end of 2019, 20% were for and 56% were against membership. And now, in January, 28% were for and 42% were against. So the majority were either for, or unsure.

https://www.hs.fi/politiikka/art-2000008515424.html

Another interesting sign of people warming up to joining NATO is a gallup that suggested 63% either "strongly agree" or "somewhat agree" to "accepting Finland joining NATO if it was recommended by the president and the government".

Theoretically we wouldn't save much. Given a home with good insulation it shouldn't take much more energy a few more degrees. Obviously it depends on the outside temperature.
A very important point made by a previous Finland prime minister today on Sky News:

> FINLAND IS NOT NEUTRAL. That's a common misconception. Finland just doesn't belong to a military alliance. But it is definitely aligned with EU/NATO.

> We are members of the EU. Use € as our currency. Have a close partnership with Nato. Have a military which is more Nato compatible than most of its member states. Participate in Nato exercises and crisis management. Purchased F-18 and F-35. Part of JEF, etc, etc. NOT NEUTRAL.

It's 5 according to the article, by Karen Renaud:

"I developed a simulator called SimPass. It modeled password-related behaviors of virtual “agents” with human propensities, using well-established forgetting statistics to model predictable password choices, forgetting, reuse and sharing. Some malicious “agents” would attempt to breach accounts.

I worked with my colleague Rosanne English to test different lockout settings. We ran 500 simulations for each of three, five, seven, nine, 11 and 13 tries before lockout. What we found was that five was actually the optimal number—the sweet spot we were hoping to identify. When allowing five attempts, the number of lockouts were minimized, with no adverse effect on security."
By involving more counties we are adding fuel to the fire. This is how you set up for a world war.
Russia is big only in land area. It's not that big by any other metric. Definitely not the biggest nuclear superpower. Their tech is outdated and not maintained well. Their command, logistics and planning are chaos. Their usable resources are already nearly depleted.
Yeah, went from $35,000 each to $39,000... it's about a 8% increase or "nose dive" as you call it.
We borrowed a 2020 4Runner to haul a camper on a 300 mile drive, and the radar-enabled cruise control was really nice on that trip both ways. Seemed like it did a good job of breaking early enough to keep it only providing mild input, but it wasn't super distracting or anything. Also possible that any input from the automatic trailer break controller overshadowed the what the cruise control was doing.

It either didn't have lane-centering or it was disabled, but I think in general that's a way more noticeable input than braking. If you have a weird input in steering (ie, a strong gust of wind) your instinct is to steer the opposite way, but in general I think most people that have weird input with acceleration/braking tend to respond with just braking universally.
> You seem irritated. Sorry if you think I caused this.

Not that I think you need to apologize, but if-pologies are worse than nothing. They irritate people more.

This isn't a dehumanization tactic, it's a fearmongering one. They're calling the Ukranian government pro-nazi because they're playing on the fact that it legitimized ultranationalists who want to ethnically cleanse Russians from the east, and their response to large neo-nazi paramilitaries like the Azov Battalion, was to give them official support and incorporate them into the state, nazi symbolism and all.

Of course, Russia doesn't actually give a shit about 'oppressed ethnic Russians', and has turned a blind eye to its own ultranationalists going across the border to train and fight. But this isn't the type of propaganda you think it is. It justifies the fight to conscripts who were lied to and told they'll be participating in brief peacekeeping.
