Some things I didn't knew, thanks.

One of the reasons that Putin now picked a war, was that joining NATO/EU was now anchored in the Ukrainian law - https://www.voanews.com/a/ukraine-amends-constitution-to-cem... . Occupying those areas would immediately halt any possability to enter the NATO, which is what Putin wanted to prevent.

Are you sure those areas are still as Russophone as you think? As far as i'm aware, it dropped after the gray zone invasion, eg. https://news.gallup.com/poll/180110/ukrainian-approval-russi...

By coïnsidence, the occupied territories were also nearby the Black Sea. Which was very important for Russia's naval fleet.

I do think that you are mistaking the importance of Ukraine for Russia (otherwise they wouldn't have gone to war). They gave Ukraine their autonomy, which they already couldn't deny fyi, in the expectation that they wouldn't go away from Russia. Which was at the time a reasonable expection ( puppet governement + many Russia/Ukraine relatives on both sides). I wouldn't underestimate the will to fix those "historic regrets" for a dictator.

Either way, Russia is already (partially) moving it's attention to Asian gas exports instead of Europe. So I'm not convinced that keeping Ukraine ( and going to war for it) would make much sense on a long term plan, if it's gas related.

Nordstream II was already outside of Ukraine influence and now it's probably totally broken.

Edit: The POV of Turkey might be aligned with what i think:

> Sanctions against Russia wouldn’t work. They only postpone problems. It is better to listen to other side and understand their strategic concerns. Russia feels threatened by NATO. Putin wants to redraw borders and renew strategic alliances 30 years after the USSR’s collapse.
Didn't they just said they couldn't sell it (who'd buy?) and they just taking it "off the books" and will just stop claiming the money from the dividends?

So now Rosneft gets to keep more money? They did a stock buyback for free? That'll learn'em!

They give me exposure; I got my current job partially by being “known” in a particular area.

The most important aspect of my side projects is that they let me relax and be myself. And I have discovered that chasing money doesn’t motivate me. I already do it 8 hours per day. That’s more than enough for me.

- Donate money to the red cross (Ukrainian Red Cross)

- Donate to the The Voices of Children Foundation

- and/or many more more: https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/how-to-help-ukraine/

- Get a car and go the Ukraine border with Poland and bring refugees to Europe (I see a lot of people doing it right now. Staying there by some train station with a "free transportation" sign)

- You can join the Ukraine foreigner legion https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/27/ukraine-appeal...

I would assume mixing in buttermilk for milk would mess things up since it messes with the acid ratios, which is one of the things that really matters in baked goods with chemical leavening agents. Usually something with only milk would use baking powder, whereas something with buttermilk would use some portion of baking soda.

This is weird - i just heard someone repeating the same thing on LBC London. Moreover they said blacks are being pushed back from the border. Wondering if there is some sort of coordinated effort to stir up racial tension around Europe and the US.

The more generous claim would be that I independently came up with the idea, and certainly Cook’s Illustrated popularized it.

I don't mean it in a literal sense, though I get where you're coming from. Think of it this way: your server software's stability is more or less defined by how well it conforms to Linux compatibility. Even software that is designed with perfect POSIX compliance won't run reliably on the majority of servers. Linux, despite not being a standard, has become a spec for server software.

The kicker is that nobody can really undermine them unless you can create a true alternative with a more compelling license than GPL. If our industry wants to return to a truly standardized status-quo, we need to put aside our differences and collaborate on a next-gen spec that works. Considering that we barely did this in the 80s with POSIX, I seriously doubt today's developers and researchers are capable of doing it again. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

I think there is a significant possibility that the war in Ukraine can expand beyond Ukraine's borders. If that happens, all bets are off. Europe now knows that it has created an out of control monster, and you can be 100% certain that the governments of its member states are actively planning how to cut their dependence on Gazprom as fast as humanly possible. It's no longer a what if scenario, it is now something that has to be contained.

100%. I used to cook a lot from scratch. I had a few things that I made a lot and knew how to balance the flavors of. Then when I suddenly found myself with a lot less time to cook, but still with the same picky taste buds, I started buying premade, prepackaged TV dinners from Publix and Whole Foods and doctoring them up with added spices, or chopping an onion or pepper to add to it, after microwaving them for half the time to defrost them.

Like, you can buy anything and make it good.
The best way I can describe Nim is that it marries Python syntax with Modula-3 semantics. It's not just "static-typed, compiled Python", it's the modern inheritor of the entire Algol-Wirth superfamily of languages.

The syntactic differences between Modula-3 and Nim don't mean much in the long run. It's just the fourth phase of this particular superfamily's syntax. It's a bit of an oversimplification, but the preceding syntactic phases can be clumped into "Algol", "Pascal", and "Modula". All of them have significant syntactic differences between them but ultimately come from the same heritage, and I see "Nim" as just the next phase of that.

(to elaborate a bit: when Wirth evolved Algol 60 into Algol W, he only made small tweaks to the fundamental syntax. He then siginificantly overhauled it when he evolved Algol W into Pascal and then Pascal into Modula(-2). Borland/Embarcadero's evolutions of Pascal are of the same category as Algol W in that they made small tweaks while keeping the core syntax the same. Wirth's further languages Oberon and Oberon-2 all kept the same fundamental structure as Modula-2, despite various small syntactic tweaks, as did Modula-3 which wasn't by Wirth but had his blessing.)

Look, I’m not advocating banning pancake mixes or canned or frozen food. I absolutely understand that people have constraints and not everyone has the time or energy to cook every day.

Highly recommend reading about Wim Hof to anyone interested in this topic. He’s been the subject of quite a bit of research.

> A 2014 assessment compared Wim Hof and his identical twin brother. The scientists had them practice Wim's breathing exercises, then exposed them to the lowest temperature that would not induce shivering. They concluded that, "No significant differences were found between the two subjects, indicating that a lifestyle with frequent exposures to extreme cold does not seem to affect BAT activity and CIT (cold-induced thermogenesis)."[28] Both had rises of 40% of their metabolic rates over the resting rate, compared to a maximum of 30% observed in young adults. However, their brown fat percentage—while high for their age—was not enough to account for all of the increase. The rest was due to their vigorous breathing, which increased the metabolic activity in their respiratory muscles.

> One 2018 study of Wim Hof published in the journal NeuroImage used a combination of fMRI and PET/CT imaging, and found: forceful respiration results in increased sympathetic innervation and glucose consumption in intercostal muscle, generating heat that dissipates to lung tissue and warms circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries. Our results provide compelling evidence for the primacy of the brain (CNS) rather than the body (peripheral mechanisms) in mediating the Iceman's [Wim Hof's] responses to cold exposure.

One option is to let Amazon handle the servers and use EKS or Fargate. (Or use Fly.io instead, or GCP or Heroku.)

If you want to manage the servers yourself there are lots of options. I would choose Debian or Rocky Linux. FreeBSD is another choice. But you will need to spend lot of time and effort to harden your infrastructure.
It’s worth a shot. Let’s see what they can do. Nobody will be forced to choose that lifestyle if they don’t want to. Some people love The Villages, while the mere idea of such a place gives others the willies. Vote with your pocketbook.
I eat all fish and shellfish (oysters, mussles), no other fats, but for some lean meats, game meats like venison and bison. And only olive oil if any oil. Very low carbohydrates but a lot of berries, and a lot of seaweed and mushrooms (I am a FUT2 non-secretor and these are high in Fucose). Basically I eat like the Sami.

Before this, at around 45 years old I was a vegan (a good vegan) and my cholesterol was VERY high and HDL too low, hypertensive, IBS-D, and mood instability and they did a brain scan at one point because it looked like I was getting MS.

Note I have a family history of hyperlipidemia.

My cholesterol totally corrected and reversed, IBS is gone, BP is much better, still some mood issues but no need for meds anymore.

Basically the gene polymorphisms I saw that were relevant to my diet were FADS1, FADS2, FUT2 (non-secretor) CPT1A, BTD, PNP, and GCH1 among some others.

But yes, the CPT1A polymorphisms protects me from ketosis.

> I don't want to support Ukrainian government but ordinary civilians

The Ukranian government is by far the best source of help to the Ukranian civilians. First, it is their government - these are the people and institutions they chose; it is the people. Who are you (or me) to question their choice? Second, the government is organized, on a large scale, to serve and protect the people; nobody else can remotely do the job. Governments handle everything from their military, of course, to food, shelter, roads, weapons, ammunition, communications, etc. etc. It is the Ukranian government that is fighting the Russian invasion.

The anti-government theories can be valuable to debate in peacetime, and every government is deeply flawed and corrupt to some degree. But so is every other human institution and human being, including whoever else you would support. You need to go to war with the government and army you have. Undermining the Ukranian government would do great harm to the civilians.

That said, there are always holes and blind spots in government services, and I'm sure there are many other worthwhile groups.

I would look at the ones who are very credible and have great experience in delivering goods and services in conflict - there is a lot of fraud in war, and that applies to charities etc. I would look at Medicines Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), the International Rescue Committe (last I knew - I'd double-check they are still the same institution), or the International Red Cross.

> all my information comes from western media so it is likely biased

Everything is biased and we always need to read and think critically. The good thing about media in the free world is that there are so many different sources that you can get a wide range of perspectives. There is not one "western media" that coordinates itself; they are pretty competitive, in fact.
No one who worked at Microsoft under Ballmer & Satya believes this. I’m curious as to why people believe that Ballmer who missed every major tech trend, threw good money after chasing competitors and had zero idea how to build build good products “laid the foundation” versus acknowledging Satya’s significant success?
What's the alternative? Let the nuclear power that is the most mad do whatever they want?
I don't understand much of the site either, but at a high level, my guess is that it's sorting crypto coins by computation required vs $$$. Right now ETH is at the top, aka for every flop you put it, you get the most return, but there are many others not far behind. So even if you were to eliminate Etherium entirely, there would still be plenty other that are profitable to mine.

Why sell a GPU for a fraction of the price, when you can just switch over to another coin and make 50-90% of the money you were making still.
Even her latest talk seems a bit off to me. Accusing people of being Anti-Asian or Orientalist is a classic CCP propaganda technique. It is certainly true that the COVID tracking and Social Credit mechanisms are no where near as automated as some would believe (and perhaps fetishize), but it is not true that they somehow don't exist or don't have consequences. I agree, we should not believe outrageous claims of super face recognition (with masks?) or tracking of over 1B people (even with phones), but at the same time, you need to realize that as a foreign citizen your hotel is required to report you to police for each night that you stay, and they will track you down, if they need to, and your host will be held accountable (possibly jailed) for failing to report your location. This is not at all like the rest of Asia (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Signapore etc) and conflating them together is a huge mistake.

https://wtop.com/dc/2022/02/chinese-artist-blasts-gw-preside...

For example, it is true that they don't really track individuals for contact tracing by BT without a human in the loop. But it is also true (and reported locally on Wiebo) that individuals based on cell location, who had visited cities (of >1M) were forced to quarantine and unable to return to work, when COVID cases were reported in those cities. It's not magic, it just requires the local administrators and police to send you a message through your WeChat. You had better stay in place. Similarly, SocialCredit is not some magic automated thing, but it is definitely used to punish people by local administrators or national party for (political) crimes, and it can definitely prevent you from buying train or plane tickets or getting a job, passport, university entrance. As usual compliance is _mostly_ based on fear rather than enforcement, and that means that China state news supports such fetishized AI dreams in their reporting.

Yes, we need to look at our own issues, but that doesn't mean ignoring (or normalizing) those which exist elsewhere. I suspect that London has about as much effective surveillance as Beijing or Shanghai, but that doesn't mean that they don't often track people (especially foreigners). Are these myths that needed busting? This just feels a bit like a softer whataboutism, and I don't know if she needs to travel to China now, but she would pay a price, if she didn't toe the party line.

Building out hugely profitable services as the lifecycle of technology refresh slows has been a huge part of Apple’s recent success.

Also making huge gambles on things like M1 / Apple Silicon show that Apple is still innovating and leading the way - even in spaces that were starting to be stagnant.

Let’s also not forget hugely profitable hardware lines under Tim such as Apple becoming the number 1 biggest watch retailer by revenue, and dominating the wireless earphones market (which it pretty much established itself too).

I’ve read this a few times and as far as I can tell there’s no substantive change in ownership planned. It appears to be something done entirely as a paper transaction like a journal entry.

They are going to write off the investment on the books and no longer recognize the associated pass through revenue and so on.

But as far as I can tell they aren’t going to do anything. It’s all an adjustment to financial statements.

If someone more experienced with this kind of public company jargon speak wants to come in and correct me then great but that’s sure what it seems like is happening.

I think it’s literally just an internal accounting adjustment.

The UN is not a world police. It exists so that Nations have a formal forum. And the reason why some have a veto, is so that when a resolution gets approved, you can really be sure it will be applied by all parties.

It's an error to see it as some kind of court where you are able to enforce your decisions.Maybe it can become that in the future, but for sure the US will be the first country to opt out ;-) Instead, is a venue for formal diplomatic communication.
Supporting the Ukrainian government is supporting the citizens. I don't get why one would not want to. Maybe government overhead leading to your donated dollar coming out to less than you donated? Seems like a weak argument.

In such a conflict, there are few like this that are so obviously cut-and-dry: Putin, and the Russian Military, are wrong here. Ukraine is clearly the victim.

That's absolutely not the case. The higher is the switching frequency, they higher are the switching losses in a MOSFET.
