> Putin is not cemented in power. He can get actually kicked out by elections.

So can Xi. It is just that there are elections, and then there are elections.

You're still doing it, detailing bad things about "the west". We know all those things already, yet still you insist on harping on the sins of "the west".

May I ask, what do you hope to achieve with this? You know everybody already knows all those things you mention yet still you use far more words describing "our" sins - over, and over, and over again - than you use to describe what brought us to this thread: the fact that Putin just ordered the invasion of a sovereign country on a fake pretence because he wants to re-create the Russian Empire. Yet, still, you bring up Saudi Arabia, Guantanamo, Snowden... who we all know about already.

Why? Are you afraid you'd commit an unforgivable sin if you forgot to do penance for "our" sins - and I put "our" in quotes since I do not know where you're from, nor do you know where I'm from but the chance of both of us being part of "the west" is rather high - before you wag a small finger at an opponent? Realise that it is exactly one of the achievements of "the west" that you can criticise "the west" to your heart's content without fear of repercussions. The same is not true in Putin's Russia (where peace protesters have been arrested in the last few hours), Xi's China (no explanation needed, I hope?) or many of "our" other opponents. That does not mean you need to base these discussions around a political version of the lord's prayer - forgive us our sins for we know we are a fallen people. We know we are fallen, but we also know we did not fall as deep as others did, others like Vladimir Putin who waited for a weak American presidency and a divided Europe to launch an invasion.

When Xi decides to invade Taiwan Guantanamo will probably still be open. Does that mean we should not do our best to keep that invasion from happening, or to make the PRC pay as high a price as feasible for their actions?

´Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.´ is how the King James translation of the Bible translates Matthew 7:5. This is true if your sins outweigh those of your opponent's. It is decidedly untrue when the opponent just launched an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation to satisfy his dreams of empire.
Klingon is rather odd in that it aligns with the US ASCII character set and uses base 10 for numbers. Not all that alien to us I rather liked the wierd language used in the film Arrival that was dreamt up using the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis. That one was pretty cool even if the hypothesis was later discredited.
non-proportional elections are not what makes US democracy unfair. The real problem is that US has bunch of laws which seem specifically designed to deter poor black people from voting: the lack of government issued ID (which in my country you can get for free), not enough polling stations, forcing people wanting to vote to stand in line for HOURS, gerrymandering, or even the fact that US elections are held on work days instead of holidays (making it harder for people who work two jobs to find a time to vote).
> Irregular food, regardless of bombings = many millions might die or be severely impacted in the long-term

That's speculation that depends very much on the precise details. The ancestor comment said:

>>>>> In 2010 Russia stopped exporting wheat due to wildfires burning their fields (most likely caused by climate change). This caused a hike in food prices which helped trigger the Arab revolutions in 2011.

Did "many millions ... die" in 2011?

Also wheat is fungible, and Russia is still growing grain and will still be able to export it, just maybe not to the usual places. So maybe China buys more Russian wheat and less American, and the American wheat goes to Europe or Africa instead of China. There can be disruptions with things continuing to more or less balance out.

This is awesome! Notebook centric static analysis is definitely going to help data scientists level up their game. Tools like this help you improve your coding style simply by observing the changes that are proposed by it.

We have customers running batch data pipelines in production that contain notebooks. It’s because of the first class integration of notebooks in the orchestration tool we’ve built (https://github.com/orchest/orchest). It would be great to help our users catch errors before they bite them in prod. Let’s have a chat sometime :-)!
2014 was about a trade deal with the EU not NATO.

NATO is not a threat to Russia as a sovereign state it’s a threat to Russia as a wanna be global superpower and an empire something they have no right too.
Unless the US Congress passes a treaty with 2/3 vote, yeah it's pretty much useless when a different party president enters the scene. Then again Russia has shown it will not abide by any agreements under the same dictator it has had for 20 years.
You're right - I was referring to DRY violations.

Why do you think there needs to be a declaration beyond the definition? The definition is enough information for the compiler, and having both is a DRY violation.

> but it could have stopped World War II.

The Spanish Civil War was definitely a component of WW2 but I don't see how it being resolved could possibly impact WW2 happening - if the Allies won the Spanish Civil war it's pretty unlikely they'd reinstate the democratically elected government anyways due to the red scare - you'd likely have a democratic-ish puppet government.

Fascism was also present next-door in Portugal (Salazar) and it didn't really have much impact at all on WW2.

Only when backed by force. There is no higher power in the playground of states. Ultimately countries by themselves are not necessarily rational actors. Smaller states join larger power blocs (either coerced or voluntarily, essentially they are trading off sovereignty for protection) and their own individual freedom to act gets subsumed. When it comes to dealing with Great Powers, realism is about as good as we can get, it is also predictably one of the oldest schools of thought in political science. The LIO theory is great in the decade post Cold War, but the world is multipolar now.

I dont know about the 'if they cant grasp BASIC' thing, but Scratch is not as inclusive as people think. My daughter was almost repulsed by it, but actually when I made a "laptop" (https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids/blob/master/...) of a pi zero and a small screen that boots into vim, and she started to make python do things, basic math things, she was much more engaged.

We made few arduino nano led controller, she helped to solder the mic sensors and etc, and also to program the delay between the 'claps', it just feels so real.

I also bought pi4 game hat (https://www.waveshare.com/game-hat.htm) that she assembled herself, and then I uploaded a 'hello world' snes game, showed her some assembly.

She played a lot of 'human resource machine' and '7 billion humans', and I was paying her sometimes 1 euro per completed level, and turns out it was time well spent.

She also helped me with some work on Ben Eater's kit (especially the clock and some registers).

I think the best lesson we had that got her hooked was when I made like 5 line python script that controlled the keyboard that was climbing an infinite staircase in Roblox using pyautogui.

What I am trying to say is that some kids will respond to scratch and some wont, and either way I dont think you should say 'oh programming is not for them'
Detecting censorship/downranking in a service is quite hard to demonstrate: everyone gets a different feed; knowing what could have gone into that feed but didn't is known only to the service which generated it. Measuring the extent to which there is bias in that ranking on a given service is hard. Comparing an individual user's feeds across services won't tell you a trustworthy story, since each service has different signals about what that user likes.
They could have hired on some Russians for 2-3x the pay, and maintain a much smaller number of nukes. Just enough to take out all the major cities in Russia would have been plenty.
That's fine, but the implied sentiment was that if there is trouble in Europe's 'backyard' that we're on our own, loud and clear. Isolationism worked so well against mad dictators the last time we tried it, I'm sure this time around it will all be peachy.
That's a completely separate issue. The trusting trust bug requires you to convince people to use your compiler binaries. The thing you're talking about just requires a patch to pass code review.

It's more work - you have to figure out a sneaky bug and write a legit looking patch - but anyone can do it. You don't have to be in a position of power already (e.g. being the Debian GCC packager) so overall it is much easier.
You cite propaganda from the Dairy Council?

But that does not explain why most American butter is almost white, and of poor quality, or why "grass-fed" and foreign dairy products command such a price premium. Or why dairies that do not feed their cows heavily-subsidized corn cannot compete with those that do.
What's Ukraine bringing to the table that's not already accomplished by the multiple NATO members already bordering them?

You’re probably looking at an attorney and associated fees if you feel you want to try to pursue anything here. I’m not a lawyer but here’s my opinion based on what you’re saying:

For your first question, it sounds like you made a mistake by starting without having an equity grant to sign. It seems like you’ve done this before, so you probably already knew that most equity grants (in my experience) are made out in writing in conjunction with your employment contract. It sounds like you signed and accepted an employment contract with no equity grant and were given an equity grant at a later date. I don’t think it’s normal to wait 6 months for an equity contract, from what I’ve seen.

For question two, I agree that generally the details of the grant are normally not in an offer letter but you’ll get some high level items. The details are generally in the grant paperwork.

Lastly, if you feel like the company did you wrong, why not tell them that you feel like it was wrong and what they could do to fix the situation? If you’re not comfortable with that or have already tried it, maybe it’s time to move on.

Personally it does sound somewhat underhanded to me, and I would likely be looking for a new role. It’s a hot job market right now and there’s no shame in moving on quickly from a role that’s not a good fit.
This is an interesting point. While newspapers would sometimes publish graphic images to show the reality on the ground during war, on social media gore is strictly not allowed. Even if there were recordings of awful war crimes being committed, would they be able to be shared freely? I imagine it'd be one of those times where you see a link reading "X soldiers committing heinous war crimes", click the link, and are met with "Sorry! This post has been removed for violating community guidelines". If your lucky someone will have linked a mirror in the comments section, but oftentimes that comment gets deleted rather quickly too. I don't know if any social media platform wants to be the associated with pictures of shocking traumatic acts of war.
> That all said, war crimes are defined by the victor and their declaration and potential repercussions for them is an entirely political process.

This is why I pointed out that what they're describing is not a war crime yet. What you're saying is not true, there is a court that deals with war crimes and they do have specific definitions. Unfortunately the term has been popularized and liberally thrown around since then, giving birth to this idea that war crimes are somehow only a colloquial term for bad things happening.

Check out:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_court The court that tries war crimes, and also defines them based on Geneva conventions.

The Liebor Code, Hague Conventions, and Nuremberg Principles all heavily influenced the Geneva Convention.
So wasting 1-2 hours a day being non productive is your bar for a valuable employee.

I’d suggest your view comes from a bias towards red queen races being arbitrators of value rather than… you know… productivity.

A few years ago the bar was wearing a suit to work every day with sock suspenders. Look up IBMs uniform dress code. Now we all accept that as antiquated, distracting waste.
On the other hand, international law only influences where the geopolitical setting allows it to. When it comes to the question of life and death for a superpower, international law no longer needs to mean anything.

I can observe an analogy of this for an individual person in a situation that he feels is life-threatening: criminal law or civil law are not the first things that come to mind but survival is. Only the one who first survives has a chance to return to law when things are settled back enough.
I just professionally blew a gasket about this at work. I sit in a lab, and for the past 2 months there have been a steady stream of people walking in all day long starting a conversation with a work question and then spend the next 30+ minutes just trying to bullshit. Said question could be answered with a chat or an email.

I’m happy to bullshit for a minute, ideally not when I’m trying to concentrate. I tried things like putting headphones in, not making eye contact, cussing at my screen while they’re mid sentence, nothing worked. (Engineers amirite ;) )

I finally escalated it and the visits have since stopped. I get the questions over email and chat now. I still chat with the same people for a minute if I see them in the hall or a break room.

I don’t go to work to entertain people. I have 3 young kids at home. I don’t have time to work hardly at all when I’m not in the office. I have come to resent people who essentially expect me to entertain them AND can’t seem to take a fucking hint.

The good news is that the QR codes and/or texts should be easier to secure than passwords.

You need the password every time you login to a site, so you need to find a way to securely store passwords that also allows easy frequent access to the password.

You only need the QR code when setting up a TOTP application on one of your devices which generally will only be once per device and then once whenever you replace a device. You don't need frequent easy access and so can pick a storage method that is optimized toward ease of initial storage.

For example if I've just signed up for site example.com and I've saved a screenshot of the QR code in example.png, I'd do this:

$ gpg -ear tzs@mydomain example.png
$ mv example.png.asc ~/OneDrive/totp-recovery
$ rm example.png

and then I no longer have to think about it or do anything with it unless I need to set up a new device, which is very rare.
Putin considers any agreement as toilet paper when sized up beside his white supremacist ambitions.
no they cant hit the east coast yet, but they could hit Seattle, Portland, Honolulu, Anchorage, possibly San Francisco. I would rather the west coast not glow in the dark thank you.
CSS selectors were carefully designed to have simple and performant implementations, cleanly separated from properties they set, and initially to be looking strictly forward and deeper down the tree, so they can be applied in one pass.

The flow model that gave CSS reputation for being unable to center things vertically was also deliberate to allow rendering in one pass (which was the model of early web browsers before dynamic HTML). It’s notable that the slowest and messiest layout algorithm in CSS is tables, which predates CSS, and CSS tried to resist for a long time.

Parsing model of CSS is pretty nice too. It can be implemented with a simple recursive parser, and the forward-compatible error handling is relatively easy in such parser.

These properties may seem unremarkable, but often it takes just one cool feature to break them and cause complications down the line.
People want to move further away to lower housing costs. Commuting in for a half day seems demoralizing
To my understanding it doesn’t ignore international law so much as singlemindedly focus on the forces and interests that “truly” drive it and are inherent to nature, ie global anarchy navigated by power/security concerns.

“Anarchy is what states make of it” is a great search phrase to pull on this thread with to say the least.
There's a world of difference between that and Thompson's attack. You don't exploit the kernel code: you exploit the compiler code, such that every program it compiles (a) is compromised, and (b) is incapable of detecting the exploit in programs compiled by the same compiler.
Putin has no need to invade Hungary. Orban already rules the country with an iron fist and is very eager to play Putin's fiddle, I suspect. Romania has more to fear than Hungary.
Reshape is super promising! Great work!!
> This is more like when the US attacked Libya and it was over in two weeks.

If by over you mean becoming a failed state and years of subsequent civil war then yes.

Putin will face a similar problem in Ukraine, he can punish it but he won’t be able to hold it because the population absolutely hates Russia’s guts.
I come from Italy where controlled fires are not common because there is a widespread belief that forests should be left "untouched" as much as possible, and that it would take many years for a forest to recover from fire, even a controlled one.

So, when I moved to Australia, I was surprised to find out that controlled burning is common down here, and later I discovered that this is also an aboriginal tradition (cultural burning) even though the aboriginal methods seem to differ from the methods used by Australian governmental agencies[1].

I don't know which approach works best, but I would like to find out (Edit: I imagine that the answer will start with "It depends..."), maybe on HN there are readers who are expert in this field. So when I saw this article I decided to share it here.

One tip: when you are writing code, the reward scale of time is small; you can very quickly see its effect and it's a very concrete thing. When you are doing "leadership" like teaching, mentoring or general "managing", the scale of time for the reward is much longer and less specific, so for most people who started this type of work it may not seem as rewarding. But, at the right scale of time (several months) you'll likely see your impact (somebody you helped being promoted or clearly being at a higher level for example) and it will be very rewarding.

Tanks are weak on top so you fire a couple javelins at them. They're man portable, they lock on and then fly up and dive down to hit the vulnerable part. Pretty expensive but much less than a tank. There's plenty of other clever ways to take out a tank too. No one's launching nukes over a few tanks.
And they’ll be in a terrible position if/when the next Covid variant forces everyone home again. Having to live close enough to commute to work but still WFH full time is the worst of both worlds.
This is demonstrably false, just because my property is "developed" (I'm not sure what developed vs non-developed means in this context) does not mean I consume more services. Homeowners are under no obligation to consume more city services because their property is nicer.
>Getting students (or anyone) to learn how to learn on their own is, sadly, not taught in school here (California).

This is such a fundamental point. School should be teaching you processes of learning as well as knowledge. The problem is that the poor treatment of educators results in a reversion to the minimum. If you were taught 'acquiring as many facts/much knowledge as possible is learning' then you aren't going to see/understand this as you teach.

Teachers cannot really teach something they don't understand (general statement but...largely true). The reality is that most of what you think about learning and knowledge is embedded very very early. It is also, sadly, largely driven by social class in the US. The broad term is 'hidden curriculum' and much of the work started with Jean Anyon[0]. Much of the teacher workforce comes from working class and middle class schools. Below that, you don't go to college. Above that, you have economically more successful opportunities. Those are not schools that teach a fundamental approach to learning where the process or metacognition is part of the mindset imputed as part of basic learning.

Thanks! Looks cool. Definitely feel free to reach me (omar@mutable.ai).
Is it even the first major-power smartphone war? Syria feels like it would definitely be prior art, but naturally gets less attention than Ukraine in the US.
>I don't know that NATO has the guts to give Putin that bloody nose.

In 2018 during the course of a defensive action, the U.S. military massacred quite a few Russians.[0][1]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, there's much more care and hesitation involved when the consequences are full-scale war, but nonetheless you'd better believe NATO would respond strong, including taking MAD right up to the line. It was Nixon and Kissinger after all, that invented Madman theory.

You bring up a good point, though: what if Putin suffers a conventional military defeat and has a break from reality, ordering launches? What then? I'm afraid the best we can hope for there is hesitation from their strategic rocket forces to carry out the order.
