> Most of his financial dealings are well hidden.

That is privacy, not anonymity.

> Donors to political parties can't hide.

In the US, we have anonymity for small donors. If you donate less $200 I think you can remain anonymous.

> And the reason why we need to have people in witness protection or hide rape victims is because we can not get to their assailants.

No. Even if the assailants are in jail, we provide anonymity/protection in case the assailants have associates who might do harm.

> The fact that with a movement like MeToo say, women collectively started to expose powerful people was significantly better than having to individually hide.

The MeToo had the backing of powerful people/establishment. That's why it worked. Not because of a handful of women. There was political protection provided by the elites. A handful of women doing MeToo in a different environment might get them jailed or even killed.

I agree with you to some degree. I believe politicians and the powerful should not have anonymity and highly limited privacy. I believe that the general public should absolutely have anonymity.

I disagree with your extreme blanket policy of denying anonymity to everyone.
I recently learned Hungarian in 24 months. It's a relatively rare language with very little in common with other languages. It takes most English speakers 5 years to learn. My advice: start using the language as soon as possible, use it in every context you can, get comfortable sounding like an idiot. You only need 5-10 words to start using a language, and each time you use it, you build your ability a bit more. Immerse yourself if possible, and if not, you can substitute immersion with apps like DuoLingo and connecting with social media accounts in your target language. A lot of the language I've learned, I've learned via Facebook chats. Use machine translation, and start chatting with people 24/7. Over time your reliance on machine translation will become less and less and you'll find yourself understanding things without it. I also like listening to rock in my target language, but if I'm honest, I don't think that taught me much, it just kept me motivated.
Yeah this war is to try to stop NATO expansion, especially into Ukraine. In a way, it may do that.

It’s just silly because countries have considered joining NATO because they don’t perceive Russia as a good friend, and in response, Russia doubles down as a bad friend.
> So it begins...

It began the moment Putin decided to invade neighbouring countries.

It's as if NATO had a very precise goal.

Yes YOUR preferred resolution The people of Ukraine however would probably approve of the sanctions as the ongoing conflict persists.
Even the best tank becomes a sitting duck if the crew can't see the outside.
For unarmed civilians, throwing waterbombs to the optics with ink, paint or opaque glue can also be effective to stop the tank and force the occupants to get out for cleaning becoming easy targets.

> Thanks for the reference, I has not heard of this CSDP.

Ok.

> However, if I was quite sure nobody would sent troops to Ukraine, Sweden sounds very close to my French ears.

It isn't.

Poland is.

> Finland is more difficult to defend but the Southern part of Sweden, the most inhabited, is close enough to project troops rapidly.

Yes, through Kaliningrad, but Sweden is amongst friends on all sides and Kaliningrad is an enclave that is relatively vulnerable and if it is used as an offensive base then it will be fair game. There is another, much longer and more vulnerable route through the strait between Finland and Estonia, I don't see that one working or working for long if Sweden and Finland would come under attack by Russia. Besides the obvious problems for Russia to operate on multiple fronts. The Northern route is vulnerable and extremely long, there is hardly any infrastructure there.

> The USA would also be able to send fighters and bombers from the Thule airbase to bomb troups on the northern part of Sweden, as well as English airforce from Scotland. Other smaller airforces from Norway, Belgium, etc will help avoiding air superiority to Russia.

This all depends on what Russia intends to do, which nobody really knows. I see only very few realistic options: they are bluffing, or they are utterly deranged. Assuming the latter, all bets are off, Putin might skip all of the preliminaries and drop a nuke on Stockholm, knowing that there is no way they are going to hold territory there to begin with. This would be an escalation the likes of which defies rational thought.

I have family in Latvia, Poland and Romania, and know people from both Russia and Ukraine. This whole conflict is extremely stressful, I've seen it coming for years and have already acted on that and it pisses me off that we have not done more to deal with Russia when the time was right.

As for Finland and their defense: Finland is armed to teeth, has a very capable military and the Soviets have never really left Finland after World War II, which is the Finnish way of reminding the Soviets that if they invade they run a good chance of becoming a permanent fixture on Finnish soil.

They didn't win but they made it pretty costly, and Finland never forgot that lesson.

Im not shilling for anyone, and I don't like war as much as the next guy.

Is there a part of the article that you specifically found to be incorrect?
It seems clear and indisputable that Ukraine and NATO drawing closer since 2014. They started conducting joint exercises, arms shipments and donations, and Ukraine updated it's governance to clearly declare intentions to join NATO.

Here is another source for reference, unless you think they are shills too.

>If admiration, cheerleading, and calling an invader "smart" - isn't support... What is?

It was sarcasm. Here's what he said:

Speaking with conservative podcaster Buck Sexton, the former president said: 'I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, "This is genius,"' Trump recalled. 'Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine -- Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful.'

'I said, "How smart is that?'" the former U.S. president continued. 'And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right.'
Less "forgot" and more "didn't care to". But, yes, specifically the rounding error.

I have no idea why minimum wage workers would get an office chair worth a grand, or whatever you're assuming. You can have people do the work from their own couches and phones.

The sticker is to explain the price increase: why do these sneakers which cost $109 last week cost $179 now? The price increase is the deterrent, not the information.

Companies would be free to market their products as they see fit: “Nike Freedom Airs now made with 33% less slave labor.”, “IPhone 14: Apple’s first Child-Labor-Neutral phone.”
That seemed to have happened to the first user, you know?!
Yeah, I completely agree. It would be the biggest (and quite possibly last) mistake anyone ever made.

I remember it was fairly typical in DOS days to have a separate directory under utilities just for the different archivers that you might need (ARJ/RAR/ZIP at the minimum, but often also ACE/ARC/ICE/LHA/UHA/ZOO).
A lot of these things are also automated from whatever framework, CMS or plugins you're using. It's the kind of thing you usually aren't writing in by hand, and shouldn't need to.

It's the equivalent of asking someone to multiply numbers together by hand instead of just using a calculator. Ok I can do it, what have be proven here? Not a lot really.
It’s sounds like the Ukrainians have priced that in. There are already videos popping up of Brits, Canadians, and Americans firing on Russian positions around Kiev. I’m also hearing form some Ukrainians that they’re planning to make it Russia’s Vietnam.
Meditation works well for me.

I have a cushion next to my desk and whenever I can't focus or don't know what to do next, I sit for ~5-10 min with eyes closed and usually the next best task becomes apparent. I then visualize it clearly and think about the sequence of steps needed to accomplish it.

If I don't do that, I usually find myself wasting extra time before I arrive at the next task, or I feel more low-energy / unfocused that I would have otherwise.

Regular exercise pairs well with this to keep your baseline energy up.
I know how to write, but trimming down content the way grammerly does(Which is presumably what many want to see, since it's everywhere) , takes time.

I've never been to school, and I probably wouldn't use it for anything like an essay in real life, but it seems good when brevity is the main critical factor and sounding like a bot is expected.

I rarely ever see writing outside of actual books, and pre-2008ish news articles that specifically impresses me though, so maybe it's not the best for anything that matters, bot style writing does get pretty painful to read for hours.
Surely this is a problem of supply and not demand.

If I go to Safeway and don't find something healthy, I will nevertheless buy something for the simple reason that I am hungry. Want healthier food in a society? Sell healthier food in a society.

It's not the job of consumers, nor is there any reasonable communication channel, to dictate what is put on shelves. They can only provide feedback based on what is already there. If they have a limited selection, you will receive a censored signal, and you cannot judge the outcome based on counterfactuals of what they would have bought if something else was in the pool of offered products.

Above describes the folly of "demand-based" economic thinking. If there was truly an infinite supply and infinite variety of products, it makes sense to consider demand-based perspectives as actually expressing consumer desires. But it doesn't do that -- it only expresses preferences among the finite selection available, and you can very quickly sink into a feedback loop that encourages unhealthy diets by conflating the two perspectives.
I still think that the global supply chain debacle was partly due to the Trump tariffs. People were already scrambling to find new suppliers before the pandemic. The situation is a culmination of all of the stuff that happened in just a short time frame.

Sorry, complicated issue, I could have gone much more deep as well.

>This is what I want to see: everyone that the vaccine is authorized for use in, should be required, under penalty of detention in quarantine bubbles, to be vaccinated.

I am fully vaccinated but I will not be getting a booster until some very serious improvements in human rights are returned.

Certainly an interesting take. "penalty of detention" means prison.

So you want to remove voluntary and informed consent when it comes to medication under threat of force, coercion and removing free will in a matter of bodily autonomy?

>Exceptions

I did not read your exceptions at all. I have some questions about the first part. Let me define my position a little clearer than above.

The person involved in medical treatment should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.

Do you disagree with this statement? I would really like to know that before we continue.

How is this different from HoneyBadger's HookRelay service? https://www.hookrelay.dev
A country that only allows 14 days to challenge the legality of a sentence (https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_35) is not responsible enough nor does it provide robust enough legal protections to have a death penalty. Rule 35 is the only way a judge can alter a sentence other than compassionate release (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3582) or a 2255 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2255) motion (that has a 1 year limit. Also note in 2255 you actually have to make your own 2255 or 2244 motion if your punishment has been found unconstitutional. Relief is not automatically granted in the US Justice system just because the Supreme Court finds your sentence or punishment unconstitutional) or a 2244 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/2244 again with a 1 year limit). A convict that accepted a plea can not make a 2255 or 2244 challenge because part of the plea is an agreement to a legal bar from challenging your sentence under it (called an attack on your sentence). If you do not accept a plea and give up your right to challenge your sentence for being illegal or unconstitutional, you face the trial tax (https://www.nacdl.org/Document/TrialPenaltySixthAmendmentRig...). The trial tax not only requires you to give up your constitutional right to a trial but also your right to be free from an illegal (say by gathering evidence in an illegal way) or unconstitutional (say sentence to 30 years for a petty drug offense) sentence. This plea is normally jurisdictional meaning a court can not over rule it. Some Prosecutors will also argue that this waiver applies to compassionate release motions as well.

And this is the point where I no longer feel comfortable commenting on this thread because I am a happy and positive guy looking forward to redeeming myself in society and this is not a constructive use of my energy.
Russia has definitely considered Finland part of Russia in the past. I wouldn't be concerned about a Russian invasion right now if I were Finland. Putin is probably going to take a break to consolidate. Besides, it takes a few years for pro-Russian "civilians" to establish a large illegal presence in Finland and start agitating as a separatist movement. I'd definitely be on the lookout for that.
> Russia is a lot more than its military dictators, it is the russian people you are talking about harming.

Yes, and I'm sorry about that. But that is the country that is currently invading another country.

> Should cancer patients in Oklahoma not be permitted to buy chemotherapy medications because Bush invaded Iraq?

I'm out of patience for the day for silly arguments, sorry.

> We banned collective punishment in the Geneva Convention because it is insane and unjust.

That's not what collective punishment is about.

> I have persian friends with family in Iran who can testify firsthand to how damaging sanctions are to people who have no ability whatsoever to remedy the problems that caused the sanctions to be put in place. Personifying countries is an error.

Yes, this is called collateral damage. See also: photos of Ukrainian kids sheltering in the Kiev subway today in fear of the Russian onslaught headed towards their city, if you want to personify this then maybe have a look at those instead of trying to gain sympathy for the citizens of the aggressor nation.
> The victims are the people in Ukraine, not you.

This is such a simplistic take, considering a true dictator is in power, who has continually demonstrated a heavy, unforgiving, hand, with any concepts of democracy being laughably false (107% voter turnout!).

Multiple bad things can happen at once. Multiple people can be victims. Nothing is actually black and white.

The Russian people that didn't vote for Putin aren't associated with the army that's attacking right now, in any way, other than randomly being born within the countries borders, where one of the most powerful dictators in the world happens to rule.

There are certainly NGOs who will help you with this mission. Do some research and let us know.
There's nothing to stop anyone from claiming anything they want. It's word against word. There is no neutral authority that's going to investigate during the middle of a war.

The only way to prove a war crime (like killing civilians), is documented evidence and/or testimony from fellow troops.

I’ve reflected on this argument recently but I struggle to see the real logic behind it. Putin claims he wants Ukraine as a neutral zone between russia and NATO. He then proceeds to invade Ukraine … if successful, territory under his control (whether explicitly shown or not, he could instil a puppet government) will now border NATO countries. How does that provide him with any security ?
As someone who finds himself thinking “wtf is money” every decade or so, the most recent book I read on this was pretty good - Money: The Unauthorised Biography by Felix Martin. It’s firmly in the “social construct” camp and makes some good arguments (to my lay mind!). There’s some really interesting stuff about the Fei stones https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
I lead a team running very large scale distributed systems with almost a decade of experience and I could take a guess about what these elements and attributes mean but I don’t claim to fully know them.

I also believe I’m fully capable of googling the specification and understanding this in like 15-30 minutes, but by your definition I guess I’m a fizzbuzz failure.

> Collective punishment is against the laws of war and the UN charter.

There's nuance that you're missing (e.g UN not empowered to sanction war crimes by a veto-power state), and your broad interpretation doesn't align with accepted practice.

This the most nonsensical argumentation they could ever use.

Given Germany's track record in screwing Europe (on top of shutting down nuclear power plants, have a look at the damage Gerhard Schroeder did) this country is dangerous to other EU members.

Unless you can find a contractor who will remodel your bathroom for gold (or god help them, bitcoin), or a food vendor who will take gold instead of your local currency (at an equivalent rate) then when you actually need goods and services, you convert to a local currency, which is taxed.

In exchange for that taxation, you can write a contract that says "I will give you X gold for Y dollars" and expect the government to back that contract. It will provide legal avenues for you to use the services they have available to recoup funds in the event of fraud (up to and including physical force and imprisonment, which almost all governments keep a tight monopoly on). They tax you because providing those services incurs a cost, and they need a way to continue offering them. Historically, you could make exchanges in those assets, but there was often zero governmental protection for doing so (sometimes things considered morally harmful were punished by the government, such as theft, but they certainly wouldn't agree to do things like enforce contract disputes for free - at best you get a legal wager [see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compurgation] where you both pay up front to be heard. At other times courts were reserved to disputes above a certain value, or lower classes were prohibited from making a legally valid contract in the first place, precisely because enforcement was expensive)

If bitcoin makes that taxation impossible (or even unreasonably difficult), and it's possible to freely trade without recourse (no freezing, no transaction reversal, no monetary control at all) two options are present:

1) Stop resolving disputes for bitcoin (ex: China).

2) Add taxation, while adding back forms of control to make the costs reasonable and predictable, to match taxes.

---

Long point short - Sure, 2700 years ago you could trade shiny metal for things without taxes, but it was "at your own risk", under a governmental structure that had more leeway for you enforcing it yourself (no prohibition or monopoly on violence and imprisonment). Those are not the conditions we find ourselves in today.
