What civilian casualties to justify? You don't send cremation trucks with your forces because you want an accurate accounting of the dead. The number of people who are just going to disappear - on both sides - is sobering.
The problem (with science in general) is in trying to collapse multivariate and multicausal representations of reality into a single value (cf. Procrustes).
If you are more into tea, cold brew tea is also a thing and very nice. This actually works with most varieties of tea but is especially nice with white or green tea. Rooibos is also a nice one to try. Simply steep a jug of cold water with some tea in the fridge and leave it for 12 hours or so. Very refreshing and it typically has a sweeter/less bitter taste than normal tea. I don't add any sugar/honey so it's healthy too. But of course you can if you want.

I also drink coffee sometimes but mostly green tea these days. I get my tea from a Pakistani supermarket in Berlin that sells it in bricks of half a kilo. I drink about a liter of that in the morning. When I drink coffee, it's mostly at nice coffee shops. We're very spoiled with those in Berlin.
So, some random bystander person says in a video posted on Telegram that they are giving out weapons without documents, while the actual military official in charge says that they tie serial numbers to passports. Not trying to say that the officials never lie, but the level of credibility of those two claims is tilting heavily towards the military official for me.

And regardless, that specific point isn't really a concern (to me personally) when it comes to literally having to defend livelihood of your family and the city against an invading force.
To be fair a lot of those super tiny packages like the ones you listed were created by the same person. They have over 800 repositories on GitHub and hundreds of (probably too) small published npm packages. There's been discussion of that person and their possible motivations on HN before.

The point is if you make sprintf locale-unaware, then your locale-independent calls like sprintf("hello %s", "world") won't be affected by all the locale-locking nonsense that is causing the scaling issue. That's the "win".

https://www.thinkimpact.com/literacy-statistics/

- Nationwide, on average, 79% of U.S. adults are literate in 2022.

- 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2022.

- 54% of adults have a literacy below 6th grade level.

- 34% of adults who lack proficiency in literacy were born outside the US.

Based on these stats, you can rest assured that at least half of the adults in the United States do not have perfect grammar. And although "proficiency" is not precisely defined, I think it's safe to assume that a majority of these low-literacy adults are native speakers.

This is hilariously completely the opposite of true. China is a net importer of American lumber, almost no Chinese lumber is exported, especially to the USA.

Almost no concrete is ever shipped more than 150 miles or so, concrete is almost always extremely locally produced.

Only steel has any appreciable trade volume with China.

It doesn't make sense to compare or consider heads of states' wealth. They can't spend like a true billionaire and they have powers that billionaires do not. They can order the death of almost any human being on earth without worrying about security.

It makes more sense to talk of power differentials between heads of state and heads of government than it does mere cash.

However they seem fit? You just hope they were reasonable in their assumptions. Minimally it’s not atomic, simulating the behavior of all the atoms even in a single protein molecule is quite hard (hence alpha fold). So it’s not at that level, or even at the individual protein molecule level. They’re mostly using equations that try to match observed reaction rates of all the pathways in their minimal cell.

Biden should establish sanctions as the article suggests.

Not sure what to do about other hostile-to-democracy, foreign-owned outlets that amplify Russian propaganda though.

Fox News, etc. come to mind. I'd prefer they be sanctioned as well, but I'm guessing that would be controversial.

Starting with Russian owned media would be a reasonable start. Shutting down Murdoch could come later, I guess.

You’re right that the American diet has gone way too far to meat, and eating a more Mediterranean or South-East Asian diet would be a big health improvement.

Based on his interpretation of the best available data a fully vegan diet seems to have a lot of health benefits. I became vegan for moral reasons so I haven’t researched what a more mixed diet would be like, but I’m glad my choice is a healthy one.

To me being "very familiar" with those things would mean that you could perform the role of a SWE, SRE, compiler dev, <language> dev, <framework> dev, kernel dev, engine dev, etc right now and be effective.

Since that isn't possible I have to assume that you have a different definition of "very familiar" than I do.
As a Gsuite customer, I do mostly agree. I'll say I'm very pleased with GSuite, but I also think that Google is about as bad as it gets with regards to customer service, and I would never put customer data into Google Cloud since I would never risk losing that data due to their idiotic, inane systems deciding to ban me, and no support channel for getting it back.

People thing 10 billion dollars is a lot of money.

My view is that 10 billion dollars is nothing.

My view is that the total OECD investment in fusion R&D should be 10 billion. A year. For the next 50 years.

The investment in the high ROI technologies, principally solar R&D and overnight energy capacity projects like water pump batteries, should be 100 billion (across the OECD). And the investment in CapEx, installing new panels, 200 billion.

Our investment in STEM R&D, as a society, is just pitiful across the Western world.

The portion of our tax dollars that go to long term R&D, the primary driver of productivity growth and progress in our nation's, is scrap.
Countries need to have multiple intelligence agencies. Having a single powerful one is absolutely courting disaster. Dictators understand this simple fact, and all dictatorships have lots of intelligence agencies spying on each other, so a coup becomes less likely. Coups still happen, obviously.

But democracies shouldn't fear coups, you say? 6 of January, I say back. Or Charles de Gaulle (wait, you didn't know that Charles de Gaulle successfully executed a coup in France in 1958? [1])

Ask HN: Green Card as a founder/CEO/CTO of early stage startup
Hello,

Immigration is a big blocker for many aspiring founders in the US. Many experienced engineers like myself wait for years in the queue for employment-based green cards, thus making it a blocker for quitting full-time jobs. This is especially true if you are from a backlogged country like India/China.

One potential workaround is to get into the EB1 green card category which is not backlogged. Apparently, being a co-founder/CEO/CTO could help with this, at least from what I have heard anecdotally. This is a bit of a chicken-egg problem though, as you need a valid status first to start a company.

Either way, I am looking to understand how realistic it is to hope to apply for EB1 green card/O1 visas as a founder of an early stage company. Has anyone here successfully navigated this as a founder? Or know someone who has?
Exactly. I'm not expecting anything and wasn't even suggesting it, just wanted to speak my mind. But yeah. I just hope people realize that Canada essentially had a domestic terrorism event. No deaths, but it was extremely disruptive to the local economy and to residents for nearly a full month. People couldn't sleep due to trucks honking, couldn't walk the streets without getting harrassed for wearing a mask, BIPOC were scared for their safety in their own neighborhoods, etc.

My statement (about sanctions being a message or behaviour modifier) is no more of an oversimplification than yours (about populace not being in charge / not being able to modify their country's behaviour)

At any rate, if we want to engage in a productive discussion, let us enumerate alternatives and rank them. I'll start

* Sanctions
* Military Engagement
* Assassination
* Covert policy, government, elections influence

What other means does the world have to say "please don't do that"? Which are preferred over / should come before sanctions, and why?

I don't mean this to sound antagonistic. I'm tremendously frustrated because I agree sanctions are weak, mis-targeted and won't drive sufficient change fast enough. But while I can rail against them, I don't genuinely know what else is left on the plate. One participant is acting like a violent bully. At that point, once discussion/education/negotiation has failed, there's really no good options for anybody left.
U.S. tech firm struggles to get employees out of Kyiv
The last thing Putin needs is another quagmire like Afghanistan in the 80s for the USSR, and the 2000s/2010s for the US.
If anything he'd probably like to see Luhansk and Donetsk become globally recognized independent states. Ukraine is certainly strategic. Russia has recently INCREASED gas supplies through Ukraine even though they are at war.
The idea that he's a madman looking to get the old commie band back together is kind of far-fetched. This is about money and influence, and specifically Nordstream2, which I imagine will go online sooner rather than later.

I think she is worth about £350 million private wealth but the British Monarchy as an entity is worth about £70billion so a lot more than Putin's reported £18billion.

The Queen is reportedly also able to spend 15% of the Crown Estate which holds about about £10billion in land assets.

Prince Philip was paid half a million a year by Govt and the Queen is paid £65million a year.

https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/royals/queen-elizabeth-ne...

On the point of power, she is the law in the UK, as head of state she is the top, so whilst she has never exercised her powers to cancel Govt, she has the legal authority to do this.

She also receives weekly updates from not only the Prime Minister, but she also gets weekly updates from the heads of the arm forces, security services and other heads of public entities. So when considering her Royal Advisors, these are perhaps best seen as a form of long running Shadow Govt not to be confused with the Govt opposition parties, so she can influence govt overtly and covertly, in much the same way as a teacher might make a passing remark to a pupil, or another person in a position of authority making a comment to an inferior. Its subtle but right there on display, with nothing to hide because people dont recognise the psychological Obedience to Authority.
Russian Federation I guess will guarantee the security of Donetsk and Luhansk and liberate further Russian-speaking areas.

Essentially, yes; all of quantum key distribution (QKD) is generating a secret key which can then e.g. be used as a one-time pad. The novelty here is that we can do it with much fewer assumptions on how the quantum devices behave than in conventional QKD.
> a lot of other uses for public key, e.g. signing and multi-party decryption and so on have come out of public key

To the best of my knowledge, multi-party decryption isn't really related to public key cryptography. Sending a message to a single recipient looks like this:

1. You write a message.

2. You encrypt it with a symmetric algorithm.

3. You encrypt the key to the encryption in step (2) with an asymmetric algorithm, using your recipient's public key.

4. You send them the combined message, encrypted ciphertext plus encrypted key-to-the-ciphertext.

5. They use their private key to decrypt the key-to-the-ciphertext.

6. They decrypt the message using the key you just sent them.

It's done that way, as far as I've learned, mostly because symmetric encryption is faster than asymmetric encryption.

But multi-party decryption is exactly the same:

1. You write a message.

2. You encrypt it with a symmetric algorithm.

3. You encrypt the key to the encryption in step (2) using the various public keys associated with each of your intended recipients.

...

So instead of a single-recipient message being a ciphertext accompanied by a header revealing the encryption key to the ciphertext, a ten-recipient message is a ciphertext -- exactly the same ciphertext! -- accompanied by ten headers, each of which is only readable by a particular private key. There's nothing about this method that draws on public key cryptography; if I've exchanged OTP material with each of ten people, I could send a multi-recipient message exactly the same way. (And doing so would be at least as valuable as it is in the public-key case -- doing things that way allows me to send a message of arbitrary length while only consuming a bounded amount of OTP material.)

It doesn't make sense to treat the wealth held by a constitutional monarchy the same as personal wealth of the monarch, but with either absolute monarchies or heads of state who don't have any abstract claim on the wealth of the nation or state as such, those issues don't arise, and even with Constitutional monarchs the personal wealth of the monarch as distinct from that controlled by the State in the name of the monarch can be discussed with little problem.

It is possible. Contradiction dissolved.
The West is weak. It is used to solving problems on paper (2008 crisis, Pandemic-time money printing) and hoping that it will somehow pan out. The tolerance for getting out of your comfort zone is near zero. The politicians will toss out a few strong-worded U.N. resolutions and will hope that Putin gets bored, or their term expires before it gets any worse.

Except, it only works, as long as less spoiled people in less fortunate places are willing to assemble your smartphones, sew your jeans and operate the oil rigs for fraction of your wage. And these people will have much more willpower and commitment, and they may eventually realize that conquering the West could be more fun than serving it.

Not that I like it, just abstract detached thoughts.
