I would gladly take that bet. There's certainly a subset of Americans who effectively never cook (generally young and urban), and Americans do eat a lot of convenience foods, but everyone I've ever met who says they "cook" is able to prepare at least some dishes from scratch and has ingredients on hand to do so.

> There is one exception to the rule about reserves as notations: About $132 billion of Russia’s reserves takes the form of physical gold in vaults inside Russia. Russia could pledge that gold or sell it. But to whom? Most potential customers for Russian gold can be threatened with sanctions. Those who might defy the threat couldn’t afford to take very much: The entire GDP of Venezuela, for example, is only about $480 billion.

> Only one customer is rich enough to take significant gold from a sanctioned nation like Russia: China.

> Would China agree to take it? And if China did agree, would it not demand a big and painful discount for helping out a distressed seller like a sanctioned Russia? How exactly would the transaction occur? Would China be content merely to take legal ownership of the gold and leave the metal inside in a Russian vault? Doubtful. One ton of gold is worth about $61 million, so $139 billion would weigh about 2,290 metric tons. It’s certainly conceivable for a locomotive to pull a train of that weight from Moscow to Beijing. But it would constitute a considerable logistical and security undertaking to load, move, unload, and secure the gold for a train trip across Siberia.

China's abstention at the Security Council vote indicates this might not be an enormously viable option, too.
I'd rather live long enough to see them.
I spent a lot of time doing newspaper and magazine layout with this back in the day.
Find an answer to that question to collect a tidy profit ;)
No matter how many ways I try and read this, it seems like justification for propaganda, and nothing more. Considering the cdc's own history of providing misinformation and questionable human experimentation, the argument that some data may not be accurate or actionable as justification for failing to release it is dubious at best. The goal of propaganda is to push one narrative and when you selectively decide to disseminate information you are pushing one narrative.

It would be more appropriate for them to release the data and note that it's preliminary or has not been verified or any other number of tags that they can give it to show that this data has not been fully vetted. Lack of transparency does not help their cause at all.
Does if enough people do it. Strong dictatorship be damned. Heck Ukrainians stood up to a brutal crackdown in the Maidan revolution to oust a pro-Russian puppet leader. It's about numbers and resolve.
That's a nice life hack. If you forbid anyone from selling a currency, the data will prove that it's holding its value just fine!
It seems a significant part of it has already been frozen. And if they want to sell their gold, they'll need to find someone to buy it in a real currency (not yuan).
Unfortunately this whole scenario (including talk of reparations) is playing out a LOT like WW1 :(
Or rather, the question is whether the Russians have their version of General Milley [1].

Yeah no, I do actually sympathize. I'm not booking a ticket to Ukraine to go fight, and similarly people in Russia have not signed up to revolt. Everyone has their own lives and families to look after.

I may be fine with hurting 'Russia' in the abstract, but it's not really fun that the only way to realistically do that is to hurt the ordinary people.
Conversely... Does it matter? The US couldn't hold Afghanistan or Iraq. The USSR couldn't hold Afghanistan.

What even is a "win" in Ukraine? It's inheriting 44 million armed insurgents and an unpopular occupation with your own people.
Unfortunately it has already left. The sanctions process can be slow but I am sure there will be a lot of sweeping of dirt under the rug in Silicon Valley. Violating sanctions is a very big deal.

Genuine question: why would I fight to defend the “feee world” if at the end of the day, no matter the people in charge, I have no freedom?

There is not a common license that does this. GPL only requires you to give source code to the person you contributed it to. Tony changes only have to go to the person who received the software. The changes don't need to be upstreamed.

>They claim full copyright as authors (which is wrong, they're not authors and its not their copyright)

These copyright markers don't mean they own the copyright of everything being served to you for that page or at least it's very common that it doesn't. The hosting company did write the translation.
Look up Adam reguseas video about why you can never beat a cake mix in your home. Sometimes it’s just smart to use a mix. And as Sagan said, if you wanna make an apple pie from scratch, you’d have to create the fucking universe.

Further, the most important thing to get right in a pancake (imo) is to get the flour baking powder mix right. Why bother with a scale and everything, if you can just buy a premix that is at best marginally more expensive?

Your point about the same thing being used for multiple is semi valid for some people. For the majority of folks, If they want pancakes this week, odds are they’d like it once more at least. Have you seen a pancake mix box? It costs two bucks and will last a single full serving or two for a family with kids.

Gold is still difficult to sell with sanctions.

It's not, because I never argued against doing it. Oc asked "what's not to like?", and I gave an opposing perspective. Successful negotiation usually requires understanding what you're asking the other side to compromise on.
"I feel like" in this context is a synonym for "it is my belief that," so your response is a non sequitur based on a misunderstanding of a colloquialism.
Who is going to be the counterparty? There are sanctions.
Nobody knows. Not even the Russian election committee.
Last I checked it was free to listen to the radio but concert tickets were still expensive.
There are an awful lot of videos showing russians lined up at atms. You can only withdrawal $20? Not going to be buying much with that. Most currency exchanges consider their currency worthless.

If the bank run doesnt crush their economy, why even show up to work? You know your employer might not pay you. You know your customers will hoard any money they do have and stay home.

This is going to be insanely bad for the average russian. Will this inconvenience be enough to get the average russian to protest or even overthrow their government? That's their choice to make, if they dont overthrow the government... they support their government's decisions.
Depending on how quickly the West takes action against the major Russian banks and their central bank, they may have trouble defending the Ruble much.

"The United States and its allies on Saturday said they will limit Moscow’s ability to use a large chunk of its foreign-currency reserves and kick some of the country’s banks out of the SWIFT payment system in what looks like a deliberate attempt to undermine confidence in Russia’s financial system"

I had a gas pump receipt that said "1/2/100" for the date.
To continue on this topic:

Now everyone is applauding Germany that they finally started to change. Will they still applaud when Putin noticed that he underestimated the reactions of the EU and starts to play the nuclear option? First signs are in the air. He is isolated, he has been criminal since working for the KGB in the 1980s. And he has not been meeting many people for 2 years because he is paranoid about the virus. Or only realistic that in Russia the situation is less under control than in other industry countries. What 2 years of isolation have done to his mental health is anyone's guess. His declaration of war was a complete mess of hatress, he was not even able to state a clear reason from is own perspective.
In a free and fair election? Zero.
> reactors that are (by design) unable to melt down.

I believe part of the problem is that nuclear power proponents were claiming that nuclear power is safe before Chernobyl. Then Chernobyl happened.

Then proponents were claiming that that happened due to the way Chernobyl was designed, that the Western designs were entirely different, and that it couldn't happen.

Then it did happen in Fukushima. People don't care about "but the Tsunami" when what they heard before was "it cannot happen under any circumstance". (And even though that may not have been what was said I'm pretty sure that's how the claims were perceived).

After feeling that they have been lied to twice, it doesn't matter whther the new reactors are actually unable to melt down or not - people are not willing to take the chance that they're being lied to again.
> And this will finally make them fight with the regime.

Don't be too sure of that. But it does increase the chances.
Since we're being pedantic, it should be pointed out that they are not all "Inuit" by any means. Inuit is primarily a term used in Canada.

In Alaska, besides the Native American tribes ("Indians") that also live in some of the same areas, there are Inupiat, Yupik, and Aleut. The Inupiat are fairly closely related in culture and language to the Canadian Inuit, but the Yupik and Aleut are considerably further apart in terms of language. Calling a Yupik an "Inuit" is sort of like calling an Italian "French" just because they both speak a Romance language. They tend to not like that very much. :-)
Yup, he articulated very clearly why I often like the US-style recipes which tend to deal with cups and tablespoons, which are far less precise than grams: sometimes having less precision is freeing.

Don't get me wrong, I own a kitchen scale and it's indispensable for many baking tasks.

But sometimes seeing a pasta sauce that calls for "one onion, 175 grams" I cringe, and just imagine someone delicately shaving off bits of their onion until it weighs right, or, worse, going back to the store because their onion was 162 grams, and they thought it mattered.
The US was in Pakistan right after 9/11 though, marines and staging bases and everything. They didn't invade, because they had assets already there and Pakistan let more in.
I'm curious. I've been using LibHunt more and more but I find that the recommendations fall off in relevance after the first few recommendations. For example, if I go to https://www.libhunt.com/r/react-hook-form, the first two are relevant, the sponsored link isn't relevant, and then the projects are that after either full on app state solutions or UI component frameworks (admittedly, antd does have a useForm hook). How do your crowd-sourcing / ML models determine the relevance in a case like this?
Or when someone close enough to Putin grows a pair.
though the gas from Russia (and everywhere else) isn't just used in power plants, but also to directly heat homes. So gas supply isn't just a matter of producing enough electricity to compensate
> not certain that Ukraine is winning all that much

Nobody says Ukraine is winning. Just that Russia is performing comically badly.

Major cities stand. Ukraine maintains an Air Force and SAMs, denying Russia air superiority. Putin attempted blitzkrieg and publicly failed. He’s also turbocharged NATO and possibly extended its northern borders, a monumental blunder given his original premise for the war.

Put simply, Russia’s military is worse than people assumed. Before, that was uncertain. Now, it is known. That isn’t great for a dictator ruling by military night.
Given the large difference in cost between average students and expensive students (ESL, special needs, behavioral issues, ADHD) I expect that charter schools will find creative ways to ensure they minimize the latter. (Similar to how health insurance companies compete for young, healthy participants.)
Were those "quite a few intelligent people" not watching the news? The US has been explicit about the intelligence for weeks/months now. Even if you wanted to discount the US intelligence, the military buildup surrounding Ukraine was unmistakable.

Biden was quoted as saying the Russian attack had unfolded "largely as predicted". Pretending the invasion was some sort of great shocker is a rewrite of history.

Personally I like to think that if I had the means then I would be in a well stocked bunker deep underground. Possibly until the Mars colony is ready.

But I am kind of poor so I have an excuse for ignoring it. I do think that most people are just in denial. The same way most Ukrainians were about the possibility of a war.
You shouldn't be holding cash anyway.
Apple has made cook a billionaire. The appropriate salary for him is $1. The appropriate additional capital grant is $0. He's a major shareholder, he has wealth at risk both up and down with his and the fate of the company.

If he thinks they can't replace him and go as well he has financial incentive to stay. If he thinks they can replace him and go better he only has financial incentive to stay if they pay him ever more every year.
"Fight with" can mean "fight for" or "fight against", which do you mean?

You were able to prep for 2-4 hours and still pass LC interviews? I find this hard to believe given that I, and peers I know, took much longer to prep.

That sounds like a great setup for a heist movie.
I appreciate the further context you provided! Sincerely. I replied to your comment because I didn’t want my random thoughts outshining the post’s/your’s!

I didn’t mean my initial comment to be overly negative, though, reading back through it I can see how it can be. I was born in 1995. I wasn’t aware of the internet until much beyond that time, so I greatly appreciate posts like this, despite being held back by modern standards and modern search engines.

I’m a designer at heart. I absolutely adore old internatage, the weirdness and frustration upon finding this post were within context. This all is so old to modern-day life that having to work through examining and processing it is a task within itself, and an enjoyable at that. Especially if anyone else is like me and only uses their phone during the weekends to read hackernews!

I got a lot of enjoyment going through the archive webpage links as they are on a phone, but come Monday, it’ll definitely be the first thing I peruse :)
Joe Rogan is platform-proof

Broadly, I disagree, at least when talking about any team or sub-team focused on software development.

It depends more on the personalities, values and organization of the workplace and the team — for any size, if more than 20% of people involved need to spend more than 2 hrs/week in meetings — it is an organizational/ops issue, not an inherent feature of the work.

> more foreign the domain the more time is needed to coordinate work

More foreign to who? If it is foreign to individual team members, then it is a problem of insufficient onboarding/training material and process, poor documentation, or under-qualified hire.
Probably none of these are true:

1. He explained himself clearly to a journalist.
2. The journalist understood what he was saying.
3. The journalist relayed it clearly and accurately.
4. He or the journalist didn’t exaggerate his success story.

To your specific point I read that as a layman’s explanation of bias, and not at all as actually implying that if a 1, 2, 3 comes up then it’s sure to be a 4, 5, 6 next.
I never thought my family would homeschool, and yet here we are.
Kiev is located less than 100km from belarus, where russia is staging and sending troops from. You could literally drive from kiev to belarus in an hour and not break the speed limit, if there wasn't a war on. Maybe your analysis is too simple for the comparison you're making?
To be fair, being reluctant is not necessarily bad. Being reluctant because you might suffer a short-term economic hit is a bit less so.

In another comment, I pointed out the Open Syllabus Project, which collects and surveys college class syllabuses. There you can find what professors in the field think are the best and most important books, which may be the best recommendations you'll find.

This is about securities not Ruble
At best that's a messy plan. Are you willing to intentionally make millions of people as miserable as possible on the slim chance that they'll overthrow the people with all the guns and power?

Note that the Maidan revolution was driven from within, as far as I know, not forced on the people from without.
I disabled mine and didn't notice any changes. What are you seeing?
The table describes RUB futures - no the current RUB.

And the volume on these settles is quite small.
Honestly that sounds awesome. I come from a cold climate I could absolutely see the appeal of that.
As always, a good start would be to provide exceptional evidence for each of your exceptional claims, instead of casually stating them as facts.
For that matter, I know Inupiat and Yupik who live in Los Angeles. :-)

The issue with public sector unions is they are a monopoly on top of a monopoly. If a private company goes to shit because of its union, people can patronize another company. Not true of the public sector.

IMHO, for starters, we should be subsidizing essential workers*. Indexed to cost of living.

If salary isn't over a threshold, relative to their workplace, they're eligible for subsidized housing (in a mixed-income development) and food.

That we have necessary people unable to live in the communities they serve is insane. And if we're not going to address it from the salary side, at least we can do something from the expense side.

* Where "essential worker" means any job fulfilling a social function in the local community. Teacher, nurse, police officer, firefighter etc.

> I think there'll be a massive increase in energy prices [...] which will make proof of work crypto unfeasible

Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies automatically adjust to use as much energy as possible (the amount of energy which can be bought with the block reward and fees acts as a cap, and the incentives are to increase the amount of energy used until reaching that point). If energy prices increase, they will adjust by using less energy. This has no effect on the block sizes or block intervals, so the feasibility or lack of it of any mainstream cryptocurrency will be unaffected.
If I had an easy one, I wouldn't just be some jackass on the internet. But "let's make millions of people miserable on purpose" doesn't sound like a great start to me. Has it ever worked, either?
If you have 2 part time devs with a manager giving them the info in the meeting, that's 3 people spending time, and the two part-time devs won't have 100% overlap of information needed and questions asked and answered (and if you have two separate meetings with each PT, then they won't have access to the questions/answers discussed with the other dev _in case_ they need it).

Additionally, everyone can focus on producing and consuming information in the downtime between focus-work sessions, without interrupting flow at someone else's convenience.

In all cases, quality documentation is more likely to produce accurate information transfer with less time wasted by everyone involved.
