This. Every time I read a fusion "breakthrough" story I imagine the history books of the year 3000: "Back in the early 21st century, they spent billions trying to build a star on Earth, when there was a perfectly good one in the sky that produced 1000W per square meter that they could have used for free."

He might think his life is over because there are very obvious physiological effects that occur when you are 69 years old. As a person who does not have problems and gives problems to other people it may frighten him to realize he is going to die.

Sure there are other perspectives and possible motivations for his actions. But it's the idea that he may not care any more and might do anything that I find scary. If he's willing to risk full scale invasion across all of Ukraine after the international focus that preceded it, would he also be willing to launch supersonic nuclear weapons? In his televised statement he said Russia is ready for all outcomes.

For the USA what probably worries me most is cyberattacks. The USA is such a soft target. Our government can't even secure it's systems after a decade of laws, warnings, bad reports, and actual attacks.

I do hope I'm wrong and Putin is actually sane and has a strategic plan that makes sense for his country.
Lots of chatter about the tech side, my experience is quite vintage that came back to be relevant over two decades later. In the mid 1990's, while a grad student, I was approached by a fellow student to help build 'secure image library' (the details never discussed because I didn't sign his NDA) server that could be pretty locked down. At the time, that was quite out of my league and I passed. I also passed on the project and didn't try to use it to learn more, because the guy gave my now ex-wife the creeps.

Fast forward 25+ years, his name popped up in the news as being arrested for some rather fucked up child-sex exploitation.

It did make me think how I could have contributed to potentially aiding this guy in his journey down the exploitation road so I'm quite content that I passed. I'd hate to know anything I built was used in that realm.
It's an extremely common pattern.

ActiveRecord is an example of an ORM. ORMs are a very common way to connect an object oriented language with a relational database. Since many languages are object oriented, and the databases many people use are relational databases, this is a common solution.
Do you want NYC to be a glowing rubble? An American direct attack on Putin would all but guarantee that outcome and likely a few more cities with it. Remember they also have subs right off our coast and I am not interested in finding out if their sailors are willing to follow through with their strike.
And there lies the scary point. People are easily manipulated by computing.

I've seen "tools turning people into tools" happen with developers too, and I think that's even scarier --- when it happens to the people who should know more about how computers work than anyone else, it is really disturbing. I suppose some of it might have to do with the general erosion of freedoms and individualism that's happening to society in general; it seems governments and corporations have slowly discouraged thinking for oneself and rewarded docile obedience.
David Martin went to EUPACO in 2007 and predicted the 2008 crisis there.

His company M-Cam is copied all the patents in the world, and making intelligence reports based on that.

They made an analysis about all the DNA sequences of SARS-CoV-2, and came to the conclusion that it was manipulated by man.

Someone would have to request them the scripts and the patents to be able to reproduce their assessment. Which was flagged as 'complotist'.

What is new here is that this is a bacteria, not a nucleate cell. Large eukaryote cells, even over 10 cm (4 inches), are well known. Almost all normal bacteria have a diameter under 100 micrometer, usually much less.

The article explains that the huge size for a bacteria seems to be enabled by 2 features, first a large water-filled vesicle inside, so that the living part of the cell is around the periphery of the cell, within short distances from the cell membrane, and second, a special compartment for DNA which provides some of the functions of a nucleus in an eukaryote (nucleate) cell.

> Investing $497 million when the valuation is over $1 billion means... (doing the math) ... Tencent has less than 50% ownership

Technically, no. You can acquire control of a $100bn company for $1 if the shareholder agreement says so. Votes and dollars don’t have to correlate, particularly in Italy.

Practically speaking, you’re probably right.
The flip side of this is when software intentionally does not implement adherence to the rules in play.

As an example, in what I call the "License Compliance Shakedown", the DRM software used does not prevent usage outside the license usage terms. A year, two, three go by, and an audit is conducted and "true up" fees are demanded at threat of lawsuit.

Flexera pioneered this model, and works with their customers to adopt it. I would say it is a small but not insignificant part of what is pushing companies towards open source.
> I don't think its at all reasonable to suppose that the US simply saying they would oppose Ukraine joining NATO would have in any universe enough to avert war

No, of course not. What NATO should have done was to accept Ukraine as a member. Anybody think Putin would invade a country that can refer to §5?

I agree 100% but the only time Article 5 has been invoked was after 9/11, never to defend against a nuclear armed dictator.
> compelling environmental arguments against a computationally taxing dynamic language

Cost of development has always been the more significant cost over compute power for these businesses. Considering the entire web uses under 10% of the global energy rewriting your entire stack in c++ for the small performance improvement is not going to make a dent in that.

Why would businesses do this for such a small environmental improvement when they could spend half the money putting in solar and produce significantly more green energy than their stack uses?
Come and see. They don't have to hold land and in most cases, the strategic goal is to have puppets hold it for them. USSR was three levels deep in puppets (four if you count "republics").

Five occurrences of goto, for anyone that's curious. The code is pretty easy to read, good variable names, some explanatory comments. The gotos don't make spaghetti. I'm inclined to think the writers knew what they were doing, though goto offends my sensibilities as much as anyone.

Could anyone with more experience explain the pattern? Why gotos for control flow along with >thousand line functions?

Not OP. But that company is worth $100.

“Worth” is an ambiguous term, however, as it encompasses value in both par and market. One case makes you right. The other, the other.

Not only does Putin have nothing to lose from all of this, there is more than a hint that he has nothing to lose full stop. More than one analyst and political aide has observed that Putin has changed significantly on a personal level, and appears to be paranoid about Covid and about all his generals and advisers.

It's not just a threat; at this point it is a risk.

You might as well just make it closed source or "source available." Almost all uses are "commercial" in some sense, and including that clause adds too much risk for most reasonable uses (including many uses that you would probably be fine with) and potentially pollutes the pool if your source is then used in another project that is offered with a less restrictive license.
The "today" was in the title, didn't think I needed to repeat it.
It matters at least in the sense that Russia's modest forces are so hyper exposed right now.

The US and NATO could trivially cripple Russia's army in the field. They're entirely unprepared for it and they're going to be operating far from their optimal protection (embedded in Russia where defenses are far greater).

The question is, when would Putin throw the nuclear card on the table.

I'm in favor of the US and NATO (or just the US by itself) immediately attacking Russia's forces inside of Ukraine and destroying the Belarus command structure, including assassinating Lukashenko and pushing a revolution there by any means necessary. Russia is weak militarily outside of their borders and the US could trivially defeat them. It would take most of 2022 for Russia to regroup for a full force projection into Ukraine if they're under attack from the US while doing it, and I doubt they have the manufacturing capabilities right now to sustain (that would take time to enhance).
This is missing the point, grossly.

> A digital video without any cut with all the credits at the end and beginning of the video and with the link to the source in the comments?!

> you make a screenshot of every Bored Apes and you use it as your avatar with the credits to the original owner, is a copyright violation? No, it’s how a digital product works.
No, that’s not how digital products work, and yes, it is a copyright violation. Giving credit doesn’t automatically grant you permission to use copyrighted material. Are you suggesting I can legally upload The Avengers to the internet in its entirety and it wouldn’t be a copyright violation as long as I leave the credits in? Or I can host an Adobe Photoshop binary as long as I give credit to Adobe?

You’re 100% in the wrong. Even Bored Apes has strict copyright licensing defined for their holders.
Russia isn't going to cross NATO lines. Even if they do, NATO can defeat the Russians without nuclear weapons. I can't believe I have to say it but escalating to a nuclear war is a horrible idea.
Ukraine's goal is not to antagonize Europe. There's on leverage in threatening your friends.
> In fact, an almost identical number of students fell into each of the three categories: their mental wellbeing had improved; there had been no change; or they had experienced a deterioration to their wellbeing.

This feels like a red flag on the conclusions.

How does this compare to a normal time period? I wouldn’t be surprised if the random ups and downs of growing up normally resulted in a distribution where 1/3 of students claim they felt happier, 1/3 of students claimed they felt the same, and 1/3 of students felt worse than the prior year.

Journalists are so desperate to publish hot takes on COVID that we’ve forgotten that people’s lives normally change over time.
“Reformation” is not a synonym for “secularization.” A common misunderstanding is that Europe was highly religious prior to the reformation and then the reformation tempered that religiosity. This is not true. Both the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Reformation heightened religiosity for a very long time.
Thinking in absolutes is never a good idea when it comes to a subjective matter (in this case: code style).

goto statements can and sometimes do have good use cases, for instance finite state machines and error handling.

It's not because something is generally not a recommended construct that you should never consider using it: in my opinion you should use all the tools you have in your belt and consider each use case separately to determine usefulness, practicality and other criteria applicable to your project.
If Putin directly attacks the West you'll get your dream. Until then you might actually stop advocating nuclear Armageddon. If you are really willing to do this you are no better.

> Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was specifically a memorandum, not a treaty

Nobody in this thread claimed
it was. A signed memorandum is still a promise and an agreement, even if not ratified as a treaty. We broke an agreement with Ukraine, letting her get sacked. We didn’t breach a treaty.

Lies on a handshake may not get far in court. They’re still lies.
There's NATO troops in the baltic states. 0 chance Russia sends in combat troops and if they did 0 chance NATO backs down.

They tried puppets in Ukraine for some time. They also have a dependent client state on another of Ukraine's borders, in Belarus, "led" by a terrified semi-lame autocrat who needs to prove his loyalty to Putin to continue in office.

Yeah, that makes sense: I brought up stolen password hashes, but I generally disregard keyloggers/MITM/interception because I usually use trusted devices and network encryption (HTTPS), but not all sites do, and I can see how people might be forced to use untrusted devices.

Still, when you've got access to your password manager (to get your password and TOTP token too), you've got access to a trusted device too.

And there is still an option for anyone (including shoulder surfers) to type in your password+token a bit faster than you so they get in: nobody bats an eyelid for getting reprompted for another TOTP token.

You are also vulnerable to someone stealing your password manager password in this manner, especially with a cloud one (which is what most businesses require).

As a conclusion, it does grant you some extra protection against using password only, but when on a separate device, it's really another dimension.
> Revenge porn often has devastating impact on the emotional health of its victims[1], with half reportedly considering suicide.

This obviously is a very important issue to you. While massive enforcement that punishes offenders and gives justice to victims would be the ideal, from a technical and legal perspective, that's very hard to do. Why not take the less morally righteous, but infinitely more practical, path of convincing folks to stop making porn movies of themselves? If our main goal here is to alleviate suffering, the discussion should center on how best to prevent this from happening, regardless of what the morally correct solution would be in an ideal world. While there is nothing morally wrong about making a sex video, it's a classic high-risk, low-reward activity. If everything goes perfectly, you have a video that you will likely never watch again. On the other hand, that video may find it's way online and ruin your life.
>This article is stupid.

Whoa, that says a lot about what kind of scientist you are ...

I have a published paper under the "Frontiers in" brand and can assure you that the people behind it (staff and editors) are among the most professional in what they do. "Frontiers in" does not publish fringe science, they are quite rigorous in their process.

Also the paper is written by quite reputable people and backed by several institutions. If their claims were "stupid" (as you arrogantly put it) they would have spotted it before you, trust me.
Incentives are:

- Russia will want to make this war as short as possible. They have their objectives (occupy Donezk and Luhansk + some more, destroy the offensive power of the Ukranian army and destroy the infrastructure needed for reinforcements ) and then declare the thing a success.

- The US wants it to go on as long as possible, so they will indirectly intervene by financing and supporting any insurgents.
Well Russia invaded firing the first shots so those missiles are in fact necessary.

Basically the problem is any action the US takes might prompt nuclear war, and Putin is gambling the US won't pull that card. It's political suicide to start a war with a nuclear power, and Putin doesn't have to worry about the votes.
IMHO the most interesting thing about SWIFT (whose official line is that they are just a messaging service and carry no money) is that it is an effective global monopoly on international inter-bank financial transfers with no published history. What backstory is available shows that it was founded by a European as a Belgian cooperative who was sent back to Europe after being head of international settlements at Amex. The organization appeared really suddenly given glacial technological norms of the day, and its first HQ was not located in a financial center but rather in Virginia, right by the CIA. Yes, I'm saying it was probably founded as an intelligence asset. The US really leveraged the post-WWII and cold war periods to cement its geopolitical dominance globally. Well played.
But that doesn't really matter. Article 5 was drawn up when nuclear weapons already existed, and presumably everybody that is a signatory to the NATO treaty knew full well what they were getting themselves in to.

Why do you think Putin is going mad? His actions might be immoral, but I don't think they're illogical.

I see Putin as a very competent and ruthless leader. As a citizen of a post communist country, I'm somewhat concerned.

Not my domain but I had to search the publisher and journal. Frontiers Media has several editorial related controversies.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontiers_Media

The fact is that the state of research, peer review, and publication in academia is in complete shambles, in my professional opinion. The amount of system gaming in research has lead me to question most publications and claims I see anymore, unfortunately. I know the system, many of pressures / incentives, and I know a lot of the games played to optimize around these. It's impossible to be any bit lazy and give into any semblance of authoritative findings anymore unless you too just want to play the publication ranking game to stay afloat or get ahead in your career.

We need a massive overhaul of research culture in the US, IMHO.
So call Putin's bluff? He's already made an explicit threat to take things further if anyone gets involved:
https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/02/24/vladimir-putin-w...

But, fine, let's play this game. The US is sends troops into the Ukraine. You do understand this is right at Russia's border. What does Putin do? He'll engage. Great, now we're in a shooting war with our nuclear rival. Now do you want to roll the dice this doesn't escalate further. Does Putin go after neighboring NATO countries? Now the US has to escalate further to defend an ally. And if the US/NATO pushes into Russia, does Russia go nuclear?

This is why the Cold War stayed COLD. We didn't directly engage Russia on anything close to their borders. Yes, we fought two proxy wars in Asia and just look how that turned out.

Do you really want to roll the dice and hope your neighborhood isn't a parking lot in the next five years?
