I find this article's arguments less than compelling.

First, bank payments within Russia will continue to function as before. Only certain Russian banks will be cut off from international bank transfers.

Second, yes, the SWIFT cutoff, alongside the much heavier sanctions directed at the Russian Central Bank will result in the collapse of the rouble and Russian economy. That's the point - make it hurt, quick. If the EU, US, G20 did nothing or only small sanctions, Putin would have thought he's getting away with the invasion. If he were to win on the ground, it'd be too late then. So the approach taken, crippling sanctions and heavy supplying of materiel to Ukraine is great - it puts enormous pressure on Putin to end this quickly, while making the war even harder to win. Of course there's the possibility that he's gone mad and would start a nuclear war when feeling backed in the corner..
Presumably there will be a shortage of three year old cars in a couple of years and six year old cars in four or five years. This is going to ripple through the used car market for a long time.
It's much more complex than that because power supply is not perfectly elastic. Power companies have to commit ahead of time to a certain level of production. In that sense power production is driven by projected demand.

Power waste is an issue - at times where there is oversupply, wholesale power prices can actually go negative and at that point there is an excess of power in the network which cannot be stored and if it's not consumed will lead to electrical damage. So people actually get paid to waste power. Ever seen a sports stadium with all the lights blazing late at night even though noone is there? They are one of the groups who take advantage of negative power prices. There are also places where there are literally resistors placed along the ground to sink excess electricity (as heat) into the earth during these times.

When you say "eventually they will make it cheap" that seems likely to be a misconception also. Power production is not like manufacturing. Although innovation can lead to increases in efficiency and therefore reduced cost, inefficiency is not the limiting factor on power cost.
> perhaps except during the 90s.

And that proved to be one of the most disastrous decades in Russian history (I think only surpassed by the 1940s that saw them getting invaded by Hitler), so democracy doesn't have too much solid ground to stand on when it comes to Russia.
Georgia was actually first...
Party 2 in this case appears to be in violation, serving a service without the offer.

Then there was no particular intent there, and I'm sure when you realised, you remedied it?

Honestly we've wandered so far from "malicious actors can sidestep the license here that I'm not sure what your point is.
> should have modified it further to have the correct link, they are the ones that failed to comply with the copyright license terms for the version they run.

But by not modifying it in the first place, they avoid entering into any legal obligations to do so. See the problem?

> But the teacher copied a page of the book, gave it to his students for class, and then one of the students sold that page without permission from the copyright holder! Aha, the teacher has violated copyright". Which no court would ever hold to be true, even if a very literal reading of the law may be more murky.

Nope, the student is the one who violated copyright here, as copyright also controls the right to distribution, not just making copies. By making the sale, a copyright violation occurred. The teacher is likely safe under fair use, as you say.

If the teacher were to sell his original copy of the book, that would be legal under the first-sale doctrine: the copyright holder's interest in distribution rights for a particular copy is exhausted after the book was initially sold. But the interest in the right to make copies persists, and since the copy made for class was not sold by the original copyright holder, but rather only made and distributed under fair use, it is not bound by the first sale doctrine, and distribution rights are still controlled by the copyright owner (they re-appear when the copy is made). And hence, the student is in violation, as such a sale would not fall under fair use.

People love to throw around this idea that the law is all subjective and judges work off of common sense, but that's really not how it works. The law is incredibly detailed on these things and lawmakers aren't stupid. This is all written in the books. Yes, there is some leeway for good faith interpretations, but the legal system doesn't run on whatever the judge feels is right on any given day. This is all spelled out.
I agree with your point. "Analysis paralysis" is what describes my current state of mind regarding the situation.

In my case, it's even more complicated. Even though I am not living in Russia, I speak Russian and my family is for the most part of Russian origin.

The Russian community these days is broken into 2 parts which sometimes even results in serious disputes among generations.

Almost no one in Russia supports the aggression, probably except for the older generation who spend most of their time watching the official television where everything is justified

I think part of it is overhead and parts of it is cultural, basically people dont think people who are looking for part time work are serious about that work, or that they already have some other job. Buddy of mine has been wanting to work part time for more than a decade, getting shitty jobs and ofting having to switch, or accept jobs that were full time etc. But after his first kid employeers were suddenly much more willing to take someone part time, its kinda the effective case for new parents anyways, and no one wondered about if he had a second job anymore. I dont think thats why hes had two kids in a row, but he seems very happy with it. Its not really a long term solution, and studies have long shown that kids, in particular with you as a primary caregiver, has along term negative effect on career and salary, but so does part time work. And it might be a long term solution if your kid has extra needs. Though just saying that is probably alot healthier than munchhausen by proxy^^
Their stated goal for the invasion is to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the whole of Ukraine. Ukraine has a Jewish president.
It's a EU problem until nukes get involved
Can confirm, Putin has basically guaranteed my annual bonus for the next decade.

I guess I'm confused about the source of the buckling, then. Is it directly caused by air molecules colliding with the graphene?

If that's the case, then by definition, as current is produced, energy is taken from the collisions mechanically, and temperature would decrease. Thibado says that when current is not flowing the resistor cools down, and implies that when current is flowing, it doesn't heat up.

>>“People may think that current flowing in a resistor causes it to heat up, but the Brownian current does not. In fact, if no current was flowing, the resistor would cool down,” Thibado explained. “What we did was reroute the current in the circuit and transform it into something useful.”

If current is produced and the system isn't extracting heat (cooling) then the energy has to come from somewhere, right? That's why I was assuming they were talking about the Brownian motion of the graphene itself. If it's just the graphene, the system would work in a vacuum. If it's air molecules then Thibado has to be wrong, or the quote was sloppy or out of context.

I'm gonna reread the paper, at least.
He wanted to destroy the military of the Ukraine within hours. He claimed until yesterday that no Russians will be killed because it's a limited operation, not a war.

He certainly expected some symbolic sanctions, but not the massive consequences Russia is facing now. He expected vast support from the Russian public (90% when occupying Crimea 6 years ago).

None of those have happened. At the moment he looks like a loser. However, I am not convinced he will just give up like this. He will continue the war. And once he has nothing to lose, danger is that he uses the nuclear
option. He has been sitting in a bunker (as Navalny expressed it) for 2 years in fear of the virus, meeting only very few people. It has made him lose contact with reality at least, if not even more severe mental consequences.
Does anyone know whether this is relevant to the Russians at all?

I presume China wants to stay neutral. This is just a signal to the West, without doing anything actually meaningful against Russia, perhaps?
It varies based on which level you are at. If you're a beginner, start as a freelancer. Find projects from your existing network. Bootstrap. Slowly build a core team as you get more projects.

> Flags add gravity.

For the purpose of a study, gravity can be inferred from story rank.

> Sometimes, but only rarely, to the point of flagged-to-dead.

A study could examine the three categories of:

It would need to be long enough that all of those categories were non-zero.
Russian central bank confirms block on foreign bids to sell Russian securities
Only way to dramatically reduce energy is for EU not to have babies and higher mortality rate. As long as they have more "new" people, and each accord with EU lifestyle, you need energy...lots of it. Every form of energy has their cost and limits. Oil or gas is the most accessible. Everything else will need to massively conversion. Fusion is just too far off. Nuclear you need to build a lot of plant which just provide more easy target for bombing. Solar, you need plenty of batteries as well with large land....butvthen very dependent on China cheap solar. Wind and sea waves are very limited as well. For example nuclear, electric vehicle, electric airbus, electric tankers, and so on. And also a lot of people tend to forget (most are babies, children or even teen and not born yet) Soviet at its height of power requires very little money from the west. They still can bomb EU and America back then to kingdom high. Today Russia is significantly richer with China the world factory backing. EU need to rethink its cold war NATO alliance. Just go read up during naughties, Putin try his best to join EU community. But then Obama pissed on him because refusal to kill children and women in Libya and Syria. The irony is EU people think highly of themselves by reacting a lot to Ukraine while celebrating the destruction of Libya and Syria. The correct respond is not need jerk sanctions but reseting of NATO. If you always treat people as shit, you cannot expect they treat you back like Jesus.
Please, post the full title next time.
I agree with you.

In fact I am planning to create accounts for my yet to be born children just so that they will be able to have that <fancy short id>@icloud.com. Because like you I also have faith in Apple and I’m pretty sure they would take 10-15 WWDCs stage announcements to get all of these things right unless they deemed these features as “nobody wants it and we know what they want instead”.
I’d be much happier if that blog post’s text wasn’t a low contrast yellow on a black background. I switched over to reader view and didn’t see any JS components.
Thank you! I didn't remember that, though I must have heard of it at some point. However, its metric of "stability" is apparently US$1, so by holding Dai you are still betting that the Federal Reserve will not decide to make its money machine go brrr. Holding Bitcoin involves no such bet on politics, though it certainly has a lot of short-term volatility.

On your last paragraph: It would be the people who failed at, or weren’t interested in, entrepreneurship. That might be like minded people, who just want the challenge of the job and not the company. It could be full of people who want to climb the ladder you describe but not jump to the next one.

If Party 2 has not made any changes to the source code, they have no obligation to make any offer under the license, since the requirement only applies to parties who modify the program. Party 1's obligations are not transferred to Party 2 when the program is. The license applies as written, there is no "carry-over" of state.
I have a suitcase Mark 1 Rhodes with the old style Fender badge. It's a truly beautiful instrument. This looks like a wonderful update.
Yuji does indeed make the good stuff, just really in a consumer-friendly form factor unless you count the low-power bulbs.

For your sunset approximation, you could add some warmer ones and fade over; they also have some dual-color strips with two different color temperatures evenly spread to allow for seamless mixing.
It's great, although the quality varies a lot by country/area, unlike McDonald's. It's my benchmark burger. When any burger at a sit-down restaurant is better than a whopper, I'm satisfied.
I hope not, I like the cheap goods that just-in-time produces.

If you look back at what many were saying at the start of Covid you would have thought we would have all been eating our neighbours by now. The reality has been completely different, an artificial shortage of toilet paper and a slight tightening of supply on consumer goods. If anything this tells me our supply chains are quite robust.
The lack of a shielded, controlled impedance signal path makes such things more of a toy.
Your 'epoch' idea is almost the correct approach.

Imagine a C style packed bitfield structure similar to this:

struct t_timebf {
uint8 timesystem : 8;
sint64 timedata : 56;
}

For clarity, 'unsigned' and 'signed' int types with minimum bit sizes are defined either by macros or a header, and only 'signed' types are sign bit extended on read.

Up to 255 standards may be defined which will define at least: an epoch for that standard, how the 56 bits for the timedata field are used to store data.

Standard 255 should be reserved as invalid (a guard against timestamp manipulation error).

Standards 254 down through 248 should be reserved in case there is a need for a program specific format that should not be handled by a standard library. The seven slots are reserved to allow up to that many revisions / variations of new timestamp types without further complicating the software.

Standard 0 might be reserved or assigned to Unix epoch timestamps. (see also 255 for folding naive manipulations back to a 56 bit timestamp.)

Standard 1 might be 56-bit microseconds (0.001 seconds), with a Unix epoch?

Standard 2 might be 56-bit milliseconds (0.000001 seconds), with a Unix epoch?

Standard 3 might be 56-bit nanoseconds (0.000000001 seconds), with a Unix epoch?

Those are (approximately) the current popular ranges of timestamps, and the reason for supporting 1e+0, 1e-3, 13-6, and 1e-9 are the approximately 30, 20, 10, and 0 extra bits of offered precision over the other timestamps.

When writing that out however, I realized that even at a full 64 bits, a nanosecond precision timestamp has a woefully inadequate number of bits. (only ~524 years of precision according to someone that did the math ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43451565/store-timestamp... ))

If storage isn't a concern, it might be better to utilize 128 or more bits for a timestamp to ensure there's sufficient room for the desired range. However at that point it makes much more sense for application specific choices.

A timestamp in many applications should probably include a reference timezone anyway.
>after this war someone will put in the money to get the second airframe out of storage and get it finished

In Ukrainian news they say that they would force Russia to pay for restoring of the "Mria". Ukrainians are really berserks right now. No way to stop. Beside official army the civil population is getting involved more and more. Prepared millions of Molotov cocktails, and there have already been some Russian armor destroyed by it, and territorial defense units hunt down Russian advanced saboteur/spies teams and the likes and those Russian dispersed armor carriers and tanks. They joke that after seeing how they are beating Putin the NATO will be joining Ukraine instead of the other way around. While Russian tanks still continue coming, and massive Russian marines attack seems to be coming to Odessa, and Belarus forces are joining (btw that seems to me a sign of Putin's desperation as hitting Odessa would be as bad or even worse for Russian morale than hitting Kiev, and Belarus was probably kept as reserve) - it is pretty clear that they are coming to be blood bathed, and Ukrainians tell Russian soldiers to carry sunflower seeds in the pockets so at least sunflowers will grow when the soldiers die on Ukrainian land.
The first version I implemented did allocate and return the allocated output buffer, but I scrapped that design

I never changed the return value after I did this and didn’t see an issue at the time

For the record, this program was written casually on a live stream and is hardly a textbook definition of correctness :)
I owned a 6022BE, and though it wasn't good enough for basic professional duties, I did fall in love with PC scopes. Easy screenshots, a deep buffer, big display, easy data-acquisition. Fits right into the workflow. So many scopes fall down on their fussy interfaces focusing on features rarely used, and fall flat when you need the data.

Note I didn't use the Hantek software, there are open source alternatives. The Hantek was a good choice 5 years ago. There must be better choices now.

I write all of this to help others understand the issue from multiple perspectives, not to justify or defend anyone.

Here’s what I’ve learned in the last week or so.

There is a good lecture on YouTube called Why Ukraine is the West’s Fault.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4

Mearsheimer, a foreign policy expert of 50+ years, belongs to the “realist” school. I find his viewpoint helpful as it’s very much Machiavellian and not focused on demonizing the Other. I’m not sure how accurate his analysis is, but it seems worth looking at.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mearsheimer

The gist is essentially this:
- NATO, a Soviet-era military alliance, has continued to expand closer to Russia’s borders. Russia feels threatened by this.

- Russia tried to join NATO in the early 2000s but was rebuffed.

- Russia adamantly opposed including Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, but America didn’t care and pushed for it in 2008.

- The US has largely driven this effort and has dragged the EU and Britain along for the ride.

- The revolution/coup in 2014 (depending on which side you believe, I guess) removed more a neutral / pro-Russian government and put in a Western-focused one. This was followed by the separatism in the Donbas and Russia’s taking of Crimea.

However, note that this lecture was before the recent escalation and Mearsheimer didn’t seem to think that Russia would actually launch a full-scale invasion.

I would also note that he doesn't cover other important issues that are relevant to the conflict, namely:

- The history of Ukraine in the last ±500 years, especially the Khmelnytsky Uprising, Cossacks, Ukrainian states in the aftermath of World War 1, the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, and how some Ukrainians helped the Nazis during WW2. In short, the history of Ukraine itself is very relevant to this conflict. There have always been competing groups in this region and it’s not a new phenomenon.

- The disaster that was Russia in the 90s and (from Russia’s perspective) how the West basically took advantage of Russia instead of helping them. This is one reason why Putin came into power in the first place. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X7Ng75e5gQ

- Social changes in the Western world that could be called “wokeness” or “LGBT rights” and the West’s behavior of trying to spread these values. This is interpreted as being anti-traditional by Putin and increasingly China (see the recent bans on feminine men in Chinese media as an example.) Putin mentioned this in a recent speech. You could probably describe this as a reaction to Westernization.

Off-topic anecdote: I made one of those smartphone magnetic stands/hand supports with a pacifier just to annoy younger colleagues that were glued to their phones.

I got a pacifier with a solid base, clipped off any small pertrusions, sand papered it flat, drilled a small pit and glued a magnet in. Smoothed out the edges, applied a thin layer of epoxy as lacquer and support.

The best part is that I used a strong magnet so that I could hold the phone in my mouth by the pacifier whenever I needed both hands.

Anyway, fashion changed and suddenly my pockets became a little bit too tight, so I stopped using it.
Anybody on any macOS > Catalina? Can you still delete/select multiple messages in Messages app the way you can do on iPhone? Because I can’t on Catalina.

Do the deleted messages on one device syncs and gets deleted on another? No luck here as well. Support replied saying “they’ve checked and their systems are working fine and they can’t do anything about it more”.

Not a window-like lamp, but bright LED lights are offered by many higher-end manufacturers such as Delta Light https://www.deltalight.com/en including light-temperature configurable ones such this one: https://www.deltalight.com/en/products/detail/supernova-line...

However, 10klux seems a bit too much, given the energy needed to drive the lamps and overall lamp brightness. Too much light can also have negative effects on the eye and moreover, you would just be unable to read your screen well at 10klux.
But we already know what ROGD is. Psychologists don't officially recognize it because the term originates not from science, but from hate based fear mongering. Psychologists most likely will never officially recognize it because there is a very simple explanation. Parents spend their whole lives trying to hide the existence of things like "trans". If it's ever mentioned, it's harshly demonized. LGBT people want the right to exist. This contradicts the parent's goal of sheltering their children from reality.

It's like an awesome meme, or an invention like the wheel or beer. Once it gets out, you can't stop it's spread. The cat's out of the bag.

These are children growing up with feelings they know they can never talk about with anyone out of fear of violence or excommunication. In all accessible media to them, the way they feel essentially does not exist, or is only represented by a mockery of their feelings, if not out right violence.

ROGD might eventually exist, but 99.99% of what you actually hear about is parents angry that LGBT people are allowed to exist.
