Why do you think they can't? Biden is so unpopular right now, there's only political downside to US or NATO intervention.
I don't understand which decades are in question, since Ukraine has only been independent for about 3 of them. Ukraine entered a partnership with NATO in 1994 (mirroring a similar partnership with CIS), and the US has been palpably hesitant to advance their formal military commitment beyond that level.

This is of course in contrast to annexation of Crimea and the Donbas.

The upside is the inevitable rally-around-the-flag which happens at war time.
There were other games at the time, that may have been better at some things, but probably not better at what it aimed to be good at. WoW certainly wasn't a better RTS than the Warcraft games before it, but those are just different games. WoW was probably the best game out there in a category defined as an immersive online multiplayer game world with actual game and roleplaying elements.

I was excited about WoW because it was the most immersive game experience I'd played since final fantasy, but with everyone else playing in the same world for no explicitly stated reason. If you think it rose to the popularity it did because previous rts/roleplayers were just continuing their love for the franchise, you're missing the rest of the picture.

I would be curious though if you have anything specific in mind that beats my claim
I really don't think it was that hard to prove. If you look up the injunction against the horns, it specifically cited the volume being well into what the law considered harassment. The fact that it was granted and extended shows that the judge felt the people of downtown as a whole were being harassed.

If you can get the majority of people to agree that they feel unsafe due to climate destruction and neither the municipal nor provincial governments respond accordingly, then, by all means, invoke the emergency act. I'd certainly be on board.

I have been using YouTube Vanced[0] app for some time now. After ads got out of hands and especially after the decision that YouTube would put ads to unmonetized video as well[1].

But with that app, after a recent YouTube update, it was impossible to download a video beyond 320p.

So, I was downloading 1080p/2k video manually with youtube-dl and loading them on my phone manually. For trips and such. Now I won't have to do that!

Thinking about it more, I guess you're right. There will always be sectors within organisations where it's considered that face-to-face meetings and working physically in the presence of other team members is necessary to make effective progress.
possible, and an employee who doesn't know if they'll have a job next week might also work harder - at least for a time.

It's just the same thing they did with Crimea, but with explosions added on top.

They won't take all of Ukraine. Just these pieces. For now.

> The goal in Iraq was to topple the Hussein Regime (which the CIA told us had WMDs) and build up a local democratic government

No, it wasn't; the war was conceived long before the WMD narrative (which did not come from the CIA) was concocted to justify it; both control of strategic resources and a regional powerbase as a lever to recast other regimes in the region to support the politico-economic vision of America as the metropolitan power were the motivations, as several of the architects of the war wrote openly in the years before the Bush Administration came into office. The architects of war in the administration initially sought to seize on blaming Iraq for 9/11 as the pretext for their preplanned war, raising it as early, IIRC, as while the attacks were still in progress.
The truth is a bit more nuanced.

NATO expansion is viewed by the Russians as a violation of previous alleged agreements and assurances by the West, and a HUGE sore point with the Russians, to the point that hardliners there believe this to be an existential crisis.

So yes, in the higher Russian circles they do truly believe that this is all America's fault, and in truth America absolutely did harm relations with Russia and for better or worse knowingly intimidated them to the point that lashing out became likely.

However, one cannot attack another and then blame someone else for one's own violence. This is not an acceptable response to such grievances; it's how an abuser reacts.

But people don't like complicated explanations, so we settle on "Russia is bad" vs "America is bad" and then pick sides to sling mud from.
I hate how weakened the term Hitler has become, being thrown around for slight grievances. This is not one of those times and it deserves more impact. Putin is the closest to our contemporary Hitler, all the way down to the fabricated invasion pretexts like Operation Canned Goods.

Interesting approach. I wonder if the bandwidth can be optimized also.

"Conscious that failure of the Security Council to discharge its responsibilities on behalf of all the Member States… does not relieve Member States of their obligations or the United Nations of its responsibility under the Charter to maintain international peace and security,

"Recognizing in particular that such failure does not deprive the General Assembly of its rights or relieve it of its responsibilities under the Charter in regard to the maintenance of international peace and security, ...

"Resolves that if the Security Council, because of lack of unanimity of the permanent members, fails to exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security in any case where there appears to be a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression, the General Assembly shall consider the matter immediately with a view to making appropriate recommendations to Members for collective measures, including in the case of a breach of the peace or act of aggression the use of armed force when necessary, to maintain or restore international peace and security."

Trump speaks well of Putin, so the right-wing commentators also speak well of Putin. They also feel he was maligned unfairly by the Steele Dossier Russia stuff, so to "own the libs" as revenge they embrace the dictator Putin.

What agreements specifically were made by the West that promised Russia that there would be no NATO expansion?

Oh I totally see that, the issue I'm talking about isn't one of compute, but of high quality ground truth. This machine can hallucinate all kinds of information in perfect English already. The difficulty is that a good search engine needs to return more than just information that matches my query, it should return information that matches the objective reality people (and currently not the machine) inhabit. The machine needs text input to learn about the world; is the future going to look like companies hiring people to write essays about the world for machine consumption?

I think it's a similar problem we see today with ad-supported news being indexed by search engines, but taken to another magnitude when those articles need to be scanned by a model only once to have near perfect recall of the details.
A war is starting and your big concern is a fringe talk show host that reaches < 1% of the population? Shelve the partisanship for a couple days.
Crimea is not the same. I really wish people would stop repeating that. Even if you ignore the referendum (which is fair), repeated polls by the West and NGOs have found the annexation by Russia is hugely popular in Crimea so you get into a question of the rights of self-determination [1].

That's not at all what he's implying.
This isn’t about military alliances. It’s about self-determinism. The people of Ukraine don’t want to live under Russia’s boot anymore. They want a chance to prosper as their neighbors have as part of the EU. They want the right to decide the future for their children. That is enviable and worthy of support.
> why is your State DOT planning and executing projects in the city of Portland at all?

Your argument is being made in isolation of political-economic reality, at least as it currently exists in the united states. Tax receipts that could be used for roads (aka not property taxes which currently fund schools) flow out and up from city residents, primarily to the federal government, then to states, and lastly to municipalities. Cities don’t have the same ability to set tax rates as the nation or a state for the simple reason that it’s far more feasible for someone to change cites vs states, to say nothing of county.

Federal dollars are given to states, which are combined with state taxes to build highways, freeways, and other high speed high volume roadway. This constitutes the majority of all road spending, and cites simply have to integrate with that.
Ask HN: Why don’t work chat apps have min character post requirement?
My company uses Slack. The amount of noise in channels is extreme due to the low friction that Slack allows for one word responses, or people posting just an emoji or gif.

It seems like a huge amount of noise can be eliminated if Slack (or other work chat apps) simply required a minimum amount of characters for a channel post.

Does anyone know of a work chat app that allows for this requirement?

Note: this would only be a requirement for channel posts (not 1:1 chat). E.g. 100 character minimum post requirement for all channel posts seems like it would force really good chat edict - as well help reduce the “Slack stress” we’ve all come to experience)

Great points especially about needing to actually cut trees. I've never been on a fire crew though friends and family members have been hot shots and tanker pilots.

I missed the 40 acres part, thats ludicrous. I live about a mile from the 3.6+ million selway bitterroot / frank church wilderness complex ... you would need a lot of drones just to cover the parts near towns.

I do think there would be some merit in a system that could detect a smoke plume quickly and slow them enough to give crews time to safely get there especially on days with multiple starts.

This article seems to be claiming that somehow artists in the past got more money than artists now, and that simply is not true.

It’s survivor bias - we hear about these well funded artists because they were well funded. Other artists in the past could earn a living by doing portraits, etc to pay the bills - if they got lucky and became successful then they could do things outside of the norms. Nowadays the job of portraits, etc has been largely taken over by photographers, who use that to pay bills.

There has not been a historical period where just anybody could decide “i want to be an artist”, and then do just that and yet have enough money to pay bills, etc
Understanding Putin’s narrative about Ukraine is the master key to this crisis
Reactionary opposition. Doesn't matter the facts, doesn't matter the substance. Trump is right, Biden is old & stupid.

I mean, look at this Reddit thread. Somehow, Trump was the deterrent for 4 years despite his ongoing infatuation with an authoritarian dedicator.

This won’t become WW3 - not if it’s ‘only’ Ukraine - but it could become a bloody proxy war. If it spread to a NATO country then it would likely escalate towards WW3.

Expansion into the Ukraine. It's Russia's Rubicon.

But really it's the steady pace of the Visegrád Group, Vilnius Group, and Adriatic Charter.
Leaving the door open to Ukraine joining NATO has been US policy since 2008 [1]:

> Then, in 2008, at a NATO summit in Bucharest, Romania, President George W. Bush crossed that Rubicon, committing NATO to bringing in Ukraine and Georgia—another former Soviet republic left out of the previous decade’s enlargement—at some point in the undefined future.

My suspicion is neither Europe nor the US actually wants Ukraine in NATO but dangling that possibility keeps a pro-Western regime in Ukraine.

At least you started off with by far your worst example. The alternative to credit scores is only the wealthy getting loans, full stop. Any alternative would require a human being combing your finances for hours, which would obviously substantially raise the cost of loaning money.
No. He was about to get Nord Stream 2 through, which doens't run through Ukraine, and now he got it shut down.
You're looking for nuance where there is none. This is standard right wing "be a dick to own the libs" behaviour.
> Memory addressing - As the article suggests, addressing large amount of address space. Not just RAM, but disk control on the bit/byte level (something solid state drives may enable and new filesystems may take advantage of). There may also be applications where you want an etabyte disk as low-speed RAM.

Think bigger. We could go all the way to a global, routable, address space. Such a system would need to be sparse to avoid terrible fragmentation.

We could also burn a bunch of address space on segmentation. Why spend instructions on checked array accesses when you could just put your 10 element array between a terabyte worth of unmapped virtual address space.

In practice, I suspect we will move to more heterogeneous register sizing, with increasingly large registers being used for computation while pointers stay at 64 bits or smaller (maybe with fatter pointers in niche applications, like a multi-machine runtime embedding the machine address in the upper bits)
Amethyst is great!
Ironically, Russia was pretty comfortably selling oil and gas until Putin decided he wanted to destroy his country's industry. I don't think anyone hates the Russian people as much as he does.
Ukraine doesn't have a right to decide what treaties they it joins?
Well, there was a question mark as to whether the invasion will just be limited to Donbas.
This is going to be the strongest push to get Europe of Russia's gas ever seen.

Winter is 2/3rds over.

If it's only about oil - this is incredibly short sighted.

As others have mentioned - Nord Stream 2 circumvented Ukraine. All was well for oil. This blows that up in his face.

The ruble is down ~14% since this started. MOEX is down ~20% on top of that. Corporate debt yields are up from ~1% to ~8%.

This has erased almost 40% of Russia's private wealth in the span of a month.

For anyone thinking - BUT THE PRICE OF OIL IS GOING UP!!1!
