Many historical analysis of the start of WW1 highlight the slow communication and mobilization processes as the main cause of why European military leaders thought they had to move first, just in case the other side had already started and they hadn't heard... Another way to see it is that oligarchies of the time thought it expedient to have yet another 19th century war, and didn't factor in advances in technology: machine guns, artillery, chemical warfare...
A bit like with drones and AI now: the outcome and shape of the Ukraine conflict wil inform us all of the specific bloody taste of 21st century resource wars. To anyone reading this in countries dependent on Ukrainian wheat imports (eg. North-Africa) Stock up on the pasta!
The difference between now and WW2 is that all of Europe west of Ukraine ( excluding Switzerland), and most of it north, are in a single military alliance, which has nuclear weapons ( and France also does, not under the NATO chain of command).

Putin announces start to ‘military operation’ against Ukraine
> the general decline of American soft power we’ll see more and more global turmoil

I have argued, tons, that America is making the world more peaceful. It was hard to sell especially to Arab/Muslim countries but without a unipolar power, it's lots of small powers fighting each other for territory.

> institutions and America seemed infallible

Couple that with recklessness. Fatca, CRS, Trade deals, etc... lots of countries got screwed bad and treatment from the masters was as bad and discriminatory as it can get. If people sympathies with Putin, you are doing something wrong.

> NATO and especially USA should have responded by sending two thousands soldiers to Kiev

And Russia would've been scared and retreated.

Sarcasm aside, all that would've done is accelerate the whole invasion procedure.

And then the 2000 troops would be killed by Russia.

Then America/NATO will retaliate.

That'll be the endgame.

Yes, I have a long commute to work (18km one way) and this was my main motivation for building the bike.

On the controls side of thing, I have the ECU and an Arduino Nano. The Arduino uses the BEC port of the ECU as a voltage supply to run a simple routine translating the analog output (potentiometer) from the throttle handle to a PWM signal that the ECU can understand.

The way that the assistance work is that while you are pedaling, you can turn the throttle and adjust until you get the assistance you want - pretty simple. After a while it becomes natural.
In the practical sense, the "NATO problem" is that Ukraine is not going to give up on Crimea, and once it becomes a member of NATO that will lead to direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.
There was no German enclave uprising in Poland with an 8 year stalemate. The situation in Ukraine has been very unstable.
> When Russia started sending troops next to the Ukraine borders, NATO and especially USA should have responded by sending two thousands soldiers to Kiev. It's too late now.

That would have escalated the situation further and would have helped Putin's narrative, like the Russian mobilisation in WWI which only pushed things over the edge.
Intel 2022 Investor Meeting
I disagree that it worked well during the Cold War, numerous declassified archives suggest a different picture of continuous escalation and bringing the world on the brink of total annihilation. The main reason it did not happen was a presence of people who were willing to de-escalate the peril by all means at key moments, including sacrificing their military ranks, political stances, and sometimes integrity of borders of their own countries. Borders have been moving and they will be moving in the future, a long-term strategy should be to never let politicians stake the humankind for the sake of the current polygons configuration on a world map.

You, as a data point (and I, and I imagine many people on HN), are strong evidence of the rule "sufficiently motivated and clever end users will always find a way to do what they want, regardless of the interface".

But that isn't really saying anything about if the interface sucks, or could be improved, just that you're motivated and clever enough to find a good and scalable solution for what you want to do given the limitations of the interface.

He tells you the facts that you want to hear, that is all.
His view is Kremlin-apologist.

You are not in Ukraine, you rely on second-hand account. So for any 'facts' you have to rely on someone. Ukraine is a complex topic, and 'things the way they are' is extremely hard to get, there is an ideological lens to everything.

His lecture was shared recently on some Ukrainian forums and widely derided as just repeating Russian state propaganda talking points.
I hear what you're saying.

I would argue that review boards, licensing, etc are only relevant because of the stakes. How to enforce it becomes irrelevant if you can't sell anybody on the idea that it's important in the first place.

Even the strength of your statement "...I don't think it would hurt the industry to have..." doesn't sound like something that any part of government would be willing to get behind.

There's just such a huge leap from "decisions civil engineers make can kill. people" to "decisions software engineers make can annoy people".

Still, you're not wrong that the field might immediately get better in some ways, but I believe we could also go down a lot of paths that would lead to the widespread concept of "stifling innovation so that people are less likely to be annoyed by buggy or hard to use software". I'm sure there are also much stronger arguments in favor of your idea of a better world when you narrow the scope down to specific types of software or use cases.
It’s not so much fear they may be next. It’s clearly a hesitance to engagage in a full-scale global war.

YouTube is an incredible service to the world, economy and creators. Just spend a minute off lazy ass time to customize it and you should be fine.

If you don't want ads buy a premium, "you will feel much better".

All pirated content just drain economic value, that's what causes inflation and shit and unemployment.

Without capital there won't be innovation and new discoveries and the privileges you take for granted won't exist. Think.
Yes, and maybe more than the Russians should be of us taking the same sort of retaliatory action against them. The reason being that while we think if the internet as being global it is in reality somewhat local and the Russian internet is more self contained and based in a geographically contiguous region that the US internet or European internet that relies on servers on both sides of the Atlantic. If the NATO allies cut Russia's access tto the European internet the effect in Russian citizens and the Russian State would probably be fairly minimal. If Russia cut Europe's access to the USA, the effects would be greater.
The creator does not get money from you watching these ads, they get money from you buying the products or services advertized - if you're not going to buy any of these things anyhow then why subject yourself to it ? Skipping an ad for a VPN provider if your are not going to buy VPN services literally has zero effect.

This even holds for ads where views are counted - if I'm not going to buy the wares you are screaming at me about and I chose to not watch this ad, thereby reducing the view count, what I have actually done is make the advertizement more targeted.

I should be thanked and compensated for my free non-labour that I have given to the advertizement industry instead of vilified. Isn't this what they all want? Targeted ads ?

I am not going to buy any of these godawful services and products in the first place, so why bother bothering me.
So far the simplest assist I can think of would be a front wheel hub motor and a switch that turns on a constant amount of torque.

The simplest: sure. However if you're used to cycling chances are you're not going to like that front wheel hub all too much. It feels weird overall (might depend on geomerty though) and has the tendency to slip on upwards sloped unless you do an effort of getting weight over the front. For my personal taste, hub in the backwheel feels the most natural.

> The Ukraine has been set up as a way to marginalize and weaken Russia.

Ukraine (what's with "the"? are you Russian?) voted to join EU as they have every right to do. EU and NATO refused to accept them.

But yeah, spread the Putin bullshit.
Putin is, in many ways, among the most dangerous and skilled world leaders. And the most daring one. That none of his actions have been seriously checked by anyone since he came to power surely didn't help either. If Putin had his way, it would not just be Finland, the Baltics and most of Eastern Europe as well.

IMHO, appeasement never worked with people like Putin (or Bush sen. & jun. or Napoleon,...). Thing is that war seems to be the only alternative. And most don't want that. At least not a shooting war against an opponent that can actually shoot back immediately.

> He did not state that Russia is not going to invade Ukraine.

Goes to show what he knows. Anyone with an IQ larger than their shoe size has seen this morning's events coming since Crimea at the latest. The only way to avoid it would have been to make Ukraine a full NATO member in 2015, -16. (For a while I held out hope that the West would see this and do it, but... More fool I, for even hoping.)

> He insinuated that (in his opinion) it is nonsense to claim Russia had an interest in a small piece of Ukrainian territory,

Well he was sure right there -- it's not "a small piece of Ukrainian territory" Putin is interested in taking -- but that doesn't seem to have been what he meant, so he "was right" in that respect purely by accident.

> and that Putin demands respect and "...probably also deserves it."

Yeah, right, kleptocratic tinpot dictators deserve soooo much respect.

> He was immediately fired afterwards

And rightfully so. Not just for blabbing where he shouldn't, but hopefully mainly because he seems to be an idiot with no fucking clue.
He is not correct though. I think it was 2003 when the US wanted to install a missile shield in Poland and Czechia. Obama did cancelled it again though.
In other words, mushroom farming: "shovel them with bullshit and keep them in the dark."

It's rather suspicious that any company I've seen that was this evasive, the pay levels did leak eventually (and the speculations about who is paid what for what reason did bring total chaos) - and surprise! It turned out that performance management is not an exact science, but rather a game of "who's friends with the boss", completely regardless of performance.
>> NATO and especially USA should have responded by sending two thousands soldiers to Kiev

And when those American soldiers are killed by Russian missiles, do you then declare full on war on Russia, and we basically all die? Because like....there is no other good option out of this you know. By placing American(or NATO) troops and assets in the harms way, you need to be prepared for what you are going to do if those troops get attacked - and the current strategy is to attack back, which again = end of the world. Arming Ukraine to the teeth and letting them fight back was the second best option and that's exactly what the west has done.

Also, there was a meme recently - it's all fun and games being an expert on the internet, but then you remember you are an able bodied male who would absolutely be drafted in to actually fight. "West should do something" - great, you first. I have kids and family, as a Pole the risk of actually being involved in military operations is making me extremely uncomfortable right now.
None of those countries are in NATO and some of them were not super friendly until the crises happened.

Ukraine itself is an example.

Ukraine was posturing aggressively against Romania, NATO and EU member, as recently as 2009.

I feel bad for what's happening in Ukraine, but they didn't really try to make many friends before 2014.
No! That's why it is a general question, not targeted at him. Also, my friends claimed to be 14 when they were 16 because the international competition was restricted to 15 years old. However, in this game age doesn't matter, so it is irrelevant whether he is older than 16 or not.

> if the Simula was my primary computer

It basically includes a whole computer. I am curious if one can simply plug in a regular monitor somehow and use it that way. If so, it would be something of a hedge against it being a useless brick if the VR part doesn't work out. Compact computers are kind of fun for lots of other reasons.
I'm sure there are plenty of quotes out there that are very similar to this, but kudos in stating what most of us (software engineers) already think, with such clarity. I laughed. I cried. I remembered that this is never going to change. ;)
No, creators receive much more from sponsoring than from any other sources on YouTube. So ublock has no effect on this source of money. Only the number of views can affect it.
A strategy to not be dependent on fossil fuels due to climate change and a strategy to not be dependent on fossil fuels from Russia align very well.

But it's also more boring so I don't plan on doing that. at the moment, I'll be happy if people just use the service.
I fear that with missile defense and impending climate disruption models, the calculus of MAD may have been updated somewhat: no-one wants a starving population with a MAGA-level of understanding and education about their predicament roaming around the enclaves...
If you thought California's and Australia's fires were what climate impacts will look like, think again: a limited nuclear exchange will probably have about the same disruptive impact as a bad climate year in 2035 +/- 10 years. Tidsfrist!
If you can't supply one the logical conclusion is that there is no good reason and all the reasons that flow from simple observation are terribly unsupportable morally and legally. You know that. You are vague because giving a better answer is impossible and the actual answer is unpalatable.
Why is Putin attacking Ukraine? He told us
My point is that if we have drones which stop fires altogether, new issues which likely come out of that.
In my opinion the existence of an any authoritarian entity, let alone the expansion of one is a threat to democracy.

Until all nations are healthy democracies, the institution of democracy faces an existential threat.

NATO, like every other organisation, is discussing things all the time. Article 4 is the equivalent of not just inviting to a meeting about about a topic but raising a formal JIRA ticket and invoking a formal process involving senior management to discuss the severity (and not the mere existence) of that ticket. So yeah, invoking an official article is a big deal, because it forces the whole of NATO to formally address this issue. No NATO member nation can easily weasel out of this now.
Drupal 7's End-of-Life extended to November 1, 2023
I upvoted, this is a worthwhile point of view.

But it's also the case that the west is straddling strategies here. Either do as Kennan says and just leave NATO the way it was and don't poke the wounded bear, or actually encircle Russia completely, stick nukes in their back yard and show them who is boss.

Don't pretend to do both and neither, that is the worst of all worlds.

I am guessing you are not in one of those "polygons" close to Putin on the map, so that is why you are so willing to sacrifice others for your well being.

And more significantly, its predecessor Nordstream One hasn't been dismantled or blown up, nor even temporarily shut down. It's merrily pumping along, simultaneously serving and reinforcing Germany's dependence on Russian gas.

Do I “suspect” them? Of course not, I don’t even know them. But are you disagreeing with the idea that the probability of an inaccurate age is non-trivial in these sorts of situations? Same as when discussing world records of “world’s oldest person” - data inaccuracy should always be a consideration if you care about understanding reality. But if you’re just looking for warm fuzzy feels, then I can see why you might take offense at someone interrupting that with non-fuzzy facts.
Yep. You are right.

Putin is even better than Hitler at this game it seems.
It is not a binary world. You absolutely do not have to support the Western interference in Ukrainian politics. You do not have to support Putin either.
This is not good vs bad.

It is great powers exploiting weaker countries.
Russia too did interfere a lot in Ukrainian politics, with methods similar to Western.
It's like people live in a paradigm "West good/Russia bad" or "West bad/Russia good", yet miss the real picture - "West bad/Russia bad".

A lot can change in 30 years.

Donbas/Luhansk also ran referendums in 2014, along with Crimea, with ~90% support for independence. These polls were denounced as unconstitutional and illegal by Kiev.

And, while it was denounced as not a free and fair vote, realistically Kiev would not ever have allowed these votes to happen in any shape or form.
Don't want to sound mean or anything, but you should read more in depth on these "nation" states before taking that position.
# 1 Respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

#2 Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

Both violated in the Krimean annexion 2014. Since Russia could easily violate this treaty, they could easily invade Ukraine now. And they got no weapons from signatories, only a few from the Baltics.

Treaties with these signatories are not worth the paper, otherwise Ukraine would have kept the nukes, and would have somehow got the codes also eventually.
Before one can answer that, one would have to know what a proper legal definition of "revenge porn" is.

If you're referring to today's overbroad interpretation that has swept legislatures across the country, then I would say there should be no legal consequences at all. I'm firmly convinced those laws should be repealed and the cases involved reheard.

However, if you're referring to something much narrower and applicable with in the framework of the First Amendment as it is currently, then I could consider a limited and proportionate civil fine appropriate.
