55F is uncomfortably cold for many people. My heat goes down to 55F at night when I am bundled in bed.

My experience is that leak sealing based on results of blower air test brings nice heating use reduction while fixing the cold/drafty areas. After that take off window trim molding and spray foam both inside and out. Then apply extra insulation AFTER sealing. Maybe then another blower door test. If you start by replacing windows it will be expensive and less effective.
Ukraine's end game is to try to bleed Russia until they decide to withdraw. I don't think "hitting back" is ever on the table, if you mean Ukraine invading Russia. That's not going to happen.

Russia could still unload a few nukes. If you can't take Kiev, you can always nuke it. But that has a number of problems. One of the smaller ones is it's really hard to maintain the "oh, that's not really an independent nation, they're really part of Russia" lie when you nuke them.
This tool is incredibly useful

I would also like to share a very similar tool that is much less known:

https://github.com/bikeshedder/tusker

It's the same thing, except instead of requiring two DB URL's to do the diffing, you give it a "schema.sql" file and a folder path that has your migrations in it, and the path to the current DB.

Then it introspects the DB, looks at "schema.sql" + the migration files, and figures out what you've changed in "schema.sql" that isn't in your migrations yet and generates the diff as a new migration. Really amazing workflow.

If you have trouble visualizing it, the workflow would be something like:

1. DB is empty, migrations empty, schema.sql has "CREATE TABLE todo (id int, description text);"

2. You run the diff, it generates a migration that contains the CREATE TABLE statement

3. You modify "schema.sql", maybe adding a new column like "boolean is_completed" to "todo"

4. You re-run the diff, it sees the DB has the table, the migration for the table is present, but a new column is added.
So it generates an "ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN .." migration.

5. Rinse, repeat.

You're taking my initial warning too personally. I was simply cautioning everyone to think about what they see online during this time especially.

Personally, orbital-decay's reasoning was more sound and expansive than master_crab's. The source drop that provided no context was a red flag in my eyes combined with the direct countering without sound reasoning. I did NOT want to share my personal reasoning though as I'm not an expert.

Again, I simply wanted to caution others without attacking the GP. I did later have to expand on why I was cautioning in replies, which could be viewed as "discrediting", but I didn't want to divulge those opinions in the first place because it's distracting.

- EDIT because post limit -

> @jacquesm: The irony.

Not really. I initially didn't want to share it, that paragraph was my personal opinion and the last sentence of the paragraph was me saying I didn't want to share it, but I had to in later replies because of the fuss.

You left out the context of:

I seem to recall running the HVAC system also doing some work to keep the humidity in the building low, and that being factored into building design - that sound right or ring any bells?
I'm certainly not an expert (have only dabbled in both Haskell and Python, and never used numpy), but a web search found https://pechersky.github.io/haskell-numpy-docs which compares numpy to https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hmatrix. I also came across https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector.

"meddling" in the middle east? The US-UK straight up invaded two countries under the flimsiest pretexts. I don't remember the world condemning the aggressors in any serious way. No sanctions, nothing. Bush and Blair should've gone the way of Milošević - mysterious death while awaiting trial. Wishful thinking, I know.

> They seem to be doing a pretty good job of destroying invading force so far, but what's next? They either run out of steam defending, or they start to hit back at Russia, but then Russia could just unload a few nukes on them and be done with it.

Two options:

1) Push until Rostov, and take Black Sea access from Russia. If they manage to destroy a big portion of invading force, there will certainly be nobody to defend it, as they already "spent" a big part of Southern Military District force. They will also be under cover of their own air defence, and Russia not, as it already moved all its Buks into Ukraine.

2) A daring move to capture Volgograd. Why? Again, its would be defenders are in forests of Belarus now, doing nothing, running out of supplies. Volgograd is the most militarily significant city in South Russia.

Big portion of of Russia's low readiness units are stationed in the middle of nowhere in Urals, and West Siberia.

The elite Souther Military District (circle sign) units are already locked in Crimea, and inside Southern Ukraine
Sure, they could nuke them, but what would they gain?

I don't think, Putin wants radioactive wastelands so close to his border. And I think the political implications, even in Russia itself would be devastating for him.
Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania are also NATO members bordering Ukraine. Lots of ways in and out.

To be clear, this is in a tumergenic immortalized cell line where you'd expect to find LINE1 upregulated compared to say, muscle tissue and dendritic immune cells. Their late paper qualification that most cells don't, but hey, some neurons do, doesn't really support this as a model of what happens in human bodies in most cells most of the time.

That said, it's not impossible, and certainly it could happen to viral infection created mRNA just as easily as synthetic mRNA. In fact, mammals wouldn't exist without the membrane fusion protein (to make the placenta) our long ago animal anscestors to mammals received from a retrovirus. The LINE1 elements are from a retrovirus itself.
Yes it does. These people need to be ostracized.

No it's not. That's about feasibility, and the comment was not about feasibility. It was about turing vs. super-turing.

The irony.
I get a runny nose if I get cold. Same for my children. From an energy perspective, this make sense. If the body is expending more energy trying to get warm or not get cold, it may not have the necessary energy to fight off germs.

Also, the immune system works better hot, aka fever. Cooling the body can be expected to suppress the immune system.

Before you dismiss proverbs (old wives’ tales), consider that they could persist because they’re true.
It seems to me that young world-wise Russians, the kind likely to use your website, are mostly against this war, and so this is counter-productive.
Kyiv will fall. But Kyiv is not whole of Ukraine. West Ukraine hates russians a lot more, it has a long border with Polland. There is something like 1million Ukranians living in Polland.. there is already a stream of volunteers crossing the border heading east.

Cost of Ukrainian occupation is going to be high. Can that stop russians? we don't know, but they will pay in blood and money. This is not Syria or Georgia where small professional units could make a difference. This is a huge country with a big population and a long border through which weapons and volunteers will flow.

I had my doubts about Ukranian will to fight(I was born in Kyiv), I was wrong. I think Putin miscalculated quite a bit.

Because all(?) of the NATO members are representative democracies of some form or other. While obviously certain actions can be a domestic political issue (so in that sense citizens are "consulted"), there's no direct citizen vote on things like alliances, treaties, etc. (or many other actions a national government takes).
They are either tabloids or broadsheets, the terms coming from the historical size of the physical newspaper.

Broadsheets are physically bigger, more text, typically more serious, aiming at a more sophisticated reader

Tabloids physically smaller, more salacious, aiming at the mass market

(Many broadsheets became smaller to save printing costs over time, but the categories still apply)
Interesting, just yesterday I discussed with a friend of mine how dumb it is for Putin to attack and try to capture Kiev, because urban warfare is very difficult and usually leads to very heavy casualties. She asked "why?" and I realised that I have an intuitive understanding about this because I've played Call of Duty and she hasn't (obviously not saying that CoD is representative of actual war, but you get the idea of what a sniper or machine gun nest in a city is just from game mechanics). Things that are obvious for some people are absolutely not obvious for others.

Btw, Pavlov's House defence is mentioned in the article and there's a corresponding mission in CoD.

No, mRNA is meant to be temporary. Here the furthers the findings of another study showing that the corresponding DNA sequence was found in some cells:

> Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells

> We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an
endogenous reverse transcriptas

> We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.

But don't freak out, the study begins by stating that it is temporary.
I totally sympathize, but I'd rather have you here than banned for breaking the guidelines of the site.

Believe me I know where you are coming from.
Don't bother with hunterb123, this user (hunterb123) has a consistent track record of posting patently unreasonable comments on a variety of different topics.

I know my comment is ad hominem, but track records count for something, and while they have no bearing on the value of an argument, they sure should affect your degree of suspicion and scrutiny of said argument.
I am not a biologist but what I understand is that the mRNA of the vaccine is reversed transcripted and somehow incorporated in the genome of the host:

"Our study shows that BNT162b2 can be reverse transcribed to DNA
in liver cell line Huh7, and this may give rise to the concern if BNT162b2-derived DNA may be integrated into the host genome"

Reverse transcriptase creates double-stranded DNA from an RNA template.

I think a caveat is that this study is done in-vitro in cells (carcinoma cell line) with a behavior very different from the cells in our body.
The refernce point is war crimes. Full stop. It's not a bracketed competition (a la March Madness).

That aside, I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone that Obama used a drone - and a creative WH legal team - to assassinate an American. So while that might not be a war crime in the international sense it might get y'all to read what was said.

Obama - the Peace Prize guy - loved the War in Afghanistan as well. Don't be so naive. He didn't have a halo. He was pro undeclared war like the rest.
> Why do you think it is not on the agenda?

Because the Ukraine does not fulfill the criteria for membership. The article you linked says "In spring 2021, Ukraine pointed out little progress in NATO’s “open-door” policy" and "U.S. Department of State spokesman, noted that the “open door” policy is applicable for states meeting the standard for membership and emphasized that Ukraine should do its homework"

> I think that current NATO members are safer without expanding east.

Well, this may be true but the problem is that this requires a lot of trust. You have to trust that if you do nothing, the other party also does nothing. I understand that Russians are scared and that they are acting out of fear but we (Poles) are acting out of fear too. In the past ~230 years for only ~50 we were not occupied by Russia.

I hope that one day we can talk honestly with Russians and address each others fears, but well, right now we are where we are :(

"Our study shows that BNT162b2 can be reverse transcribed to DNA in liver cell line Huh7, and this may give rise to the concern if BNT162b2-derived DNA may be integrated into the host genome and affect the integrity of genomic DNA, which may potentially mediate genotoxic side effects."

genotoxic (adjective) - Capable of damaging genetic material such as DNA, and thus causing mutations or possibly cancer.
I don't know what you are going on about. I started my first comment with "I'll admit I have no idea if the story is true" so it should have been clear that I was not siding with either Ukrainian or Russian sources on this specific issue.

I also didn't need "five paragraphs of disclaimers". I didn't even need five words of disclaimers. A simple "They're biased but..." at the start of that original comment and I wouldn't have felt the need to respond.

You don't need to overanalyze my comment. I simply think that if someone asks for a source and your only response is a source of questionable accuracy, that you should acknowledge that the source is not authoritative. I found it funny that this was happening in a conversation that was already about how many sources can't be trusted so I commented to point these two things out. It isn't any more complicated than that.
> That has its own set of tradeoffs - if you're running a long transaction with higher level of serialization, the database has to look for old data in the undo segment which is not only likely vastly slower than normal table, but might not even have the data anymore (any ETL developer have probably seen "Snapshot too old" error from Oracle).

I would say "Snapshot too old" isn't essential drawback of undo log. DBMS can keep the the undo log records until all snapshots, which needs them, are released. And this is how OrioleDB behaves. This is also kind of "bloat", but cleanup is cheaper. You just have to cut unclaimed undo log instead of expensive vacuum.
Indeed, but it does break the guidelines and that can be weaponized against the poster.
No, but I don't really have an example of a specific credit card chargeback, either. At least in the US, the police can seize the cash as evidence, and their duty is to return it to the rightful owner, not whoever happened to have it at the time of seizure.

I wouldn't underestimate individuals. Question is will businesses and politicians in Germany ... there is a lot of EU money tied up in Russian banks and a lot of EU investment in Russia.

also there is always American gas (not sure if this is realistic wrt to volume as those who claimed that Nordstream2-critcism was an American prop to force us to buy US gas) or perhaps we have to rethink nuclear energy.
Throwing nukes at Ukraine is not going to happen. First, it will likely force the west into action (the current inaction is in part caused by the promise of no nukes, which would be void if Russia starts using them), but it comes with much larger problems. For one, the key locations in Ukraine are quite close to the Russian border and Kyiv and Moscow itself are only about 750km apart; the fallout would directly affect Russia and maybe even Moscow. Secondly, Ukraine is rather useless to Russia as a nuclear wasteland. They need the strategic position, yes, but that's quite useless if you can't keep troops there, and they also need the people and the infrastructure. That they currently keep civilian infrastructure mostly intact shows as much.

I'm pretty sure their endgame is to fend of Russia long enough until it ceases military action, possibly with loosing some border territory. Due to cost, sanctions and internal resistance, it's quite likely that they won't fight this forever.
> What I'm wondering, with Russia being a nuclear power, what is Ukraine's end game?

As with all asymmetrical warfare against invasion and occupation, bleed the invader until the price exceeds what they are willing to pay.

> then Russia could just unload a few nukes on them and be done with it.

That would probably be terminal for the Russian regime.

> The West seems intent on not getting involved, and if they won't risk conflict now due to mutually assured destruction, they won't risk it after Russia uses nukes on Ukraine either

Nuking Ukraine over conventional escalation against invasion lowers the expected marginal cost of NATO involvement.

Deterrence calculus relies as much on confidence that not crossing conventionally understood escalation triggers will not provoke the response one hopes to avoid as on the confidence that crossing them will.

> Is getting the Russian military to turn on Putin the only hope

The collapse of will to fight and support the war, whether in the troops or the public, is
always the ultimate constraint on war, whether the leadership drives to actual collapse or stops in advance because they see it coming.
Replace "Ukraine" with "Afghanistan" and "Russia" with "United States" might make the question easier. We have the benefit of hindsight there.
Yes you only have one life, and you will arrive at the end of it and all you can do with your final thoughts is think about what the point of it all was. Did you simply exist, or did you make some small difference?

Everyone has his own priorities and point of view but I think the only way a life is "thrown away" is if a person does nothing at all with it.
I think you misunderstood. "Initiating MAD" doesn't mean launching an attack. It means assuring that any full nuclear attack is met with a similar counter attack, ie. the "Mutual" part of "Assured Destruction". If you don't respond... there's no MAD.
I was wondering what the Z meant and after searching other people would too, and there were multiple theories. One of it was that Z stood for the main target - Zelenskyy. But that was just as likely as the other theories, but now that you said there are also V and O do it is for his full name: Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy then that's def it.
How do we know these aren't Ukranian intelligence playing Russian? How can you be so certain of anything?
