The US has explicitly refused to adopt a no first use posture.

Ditto Russia, UK, France, the other nuclear powers involved.

That being said, it’s a Rubicon all, will be reluctant to cross.
Have they all failed though? We feed billons of people based mostly on massive changes we've made to the growable parts of the world. We've drained most of the Netherlands and they seem pretty happy. England is treeless because of our work and they seem pretty ok. Idk it's more like we got burned and now have decided to never try cooking again. I think it's quite easy to convince me we should try to structure life in a way that minimizes the interventions we need to do and that any particular thing we could do is bad, but just saying it ins't natural or that we've been wrong before won't cut it for me, not when we need to make big changes not when doing nothing doesn't actually mean the world stays the same.
That was always the end game. Non-proliferation is dead. The name of the game these days is faster/unstoppable delivery for yourself and detecting/stopping the other guy. This is why Russia is triggered by NATO ringing it to potentially neutralize credible MAD while NATO can claim it's a defensive-only alliance.
Yeah I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by tunneling. If you mean something like CloudFlare tunnels or ssh -R, how is that different from having the application open a firewall port automatically?
The main issue here is that the listbox on a select control is not part of the DOM+CSS model. If it was then there wouldn't be as big a problem, as they could be styled and customized while still taking advantage of native functionality.

I think my statement is truthful, albeit harsh.

I don't believe there are many designers who are interested in creating experiences with poor usability, thus my point about ignorance and not understanding the tradeoff they are making. On "incompetence", if a designer understands fully that they are creating something that will be less useable and accessible for the sake of aesthetics they have earned the label. To take the HN search page as an example, the filters can't be interacted with via keybord or screen reader. When it's your job to help users solve problems and you have made it knowingly harder to do that, I don't see how that's competent.

Luckily, it has been my experience that in most cases(including my own) the former, rather than the latter, is at play.
Read some latest defence blogs, Russia not only has the best air defence systems but leading electronic warfare technologies.
Many countries buy Russian weapons even facing western sanctions. They are cheap and effective.
> You came straight out the gate with "conspiracy nutters"

I stand by everything I wrote. It will definitely feed the conspiracy theory people. I was on r/conspiracy last night and saw a link to a similar article that had identified the stop sequence of the Moderna vaccine, part of the non-protein-coding RNA, as a patented sequence. Well, of course the stop sequence could be patented. It's non-coding DNA. The comments were filled with totally bizarre ranting by people who literally had no understanding.

> two paragraphs of misleading nonsense

Wonderful dynamic here. If you want to actually engage with the ideas I wrote above, please do, but I'd rather assert that the entirety of what you have written here is subtractive and unhelpful. And you're literally and by your own omission not trying to "further the conversation" but stamp it out and have literally zero constructive dialog to offer other than "this person is crazy."

> This isn't a dialogue

So good, please don't continue to reply then. There's [-] for you to click on. You're welcome to downvote. It'll be less effort than firing off half-cocked, completely misunderstanding what I wrote, and creating a stinky atmosphere which devalues all of HN.
ASK HN: Can't Russia join NATO and we call it a day?
Just a thought :)

So Russia's fear is that Ukraine will join NATO and pull all western resources to start a war.

But if Russia joins NATO first the west will fight against Ukraine...

If both join NATO Russia won't have a nightmare and everyone will go home happy.
Among my peers, there's a pretty big split between people who have a social life outside of work, and people who don't. The folks who have a family, especially, see time spent commuting as a detriment to both work and family. For those highly social coworkers, the lockdown (and enduring resistance to commuting) has been a big negative.
>I do tend to avoid seed oils as they are relatively new

compared to what? various foods contain oil (eg. peanuts, cashews, soybeans, sunflower seeds). Are they different, or "suspect" as well?
I really enjoy code reviewing, and maybe I'm weird but I especially enjoy CR'ing huge PR's. It's like a puzzle to figure out what's going on and write advice in a way that is clear, constructive, helpful, and appreciated. And when it's a really good PR it's even more fun, seeing people make great progress and do great work is truly enjoyable.

It can also be challenging though, especially preventing it turning negative if there is need for big changes. Also making judgement calls of what matters and what is nitpicking. Imo it's essential to stay on the conservative side as nitpicking is a giant waste of time and incredibly demotivating.

You mention reining in, which doesn't sound fun. What you might try is to find ways to not say "no" but actually demonstrate or teach why you might or might not want to do something, or just focus on the alternative. Basically challenge yourself to find ways you can give people the opportunity to learn the lesson themselves in an engaging motivating way, instead of having to hold them back. Also maybe let some things go, not everything will cause disasters.

Few more things I find work well;

- Outside of normal work learning activities; workshops, presentations etc. (let them present as well)

- Solicit feedback yourself; Create an environment where it's normal and appreciated.

- Give "optional" advice, give them the choice to follow it or not.

To come back to your question; I find it really challenging at times, but definitely not boring. I think seeing it as a challenge might generally help to find the joy in it.

The article quotes 35%.
All NATO members categorically ruled out military involvement in this conflict.
The books are probably by dead people too.
Sweden has participated in several NATO meetings and even trainings over the years, but that's quite different from announcing they will outright join NATO.
Also if you crumple a receipt and don't wash your hands, and touch food, its a hazard
The con is in calling every last incremental improvement a "breakthrough". No, you didn't break through anything. The only upcoming breakthrough is the plasma eroding a hole in the chamber wall.
We drew a line in the sand when we persuaded them to get rid of their own nukes, ensuring that we'd have their back.

That we don't actually have their back will be noted by despots the world over.
This is one of my favorite things about that game. You could technically beat The Outer Wilds on your very first time loop, but in practice you need to explore just about everything in order to understand how to do it.
I remember writing soy is basically poison and definitely not a health food here on HN not long ago. People would be smart to wise up to this sooner rather than later. It is still an extremely unpopular stance because many are lead to believe that this dirt cheap source of protein is "okay".
MisterSandman's Law.
The whole thing is very puzzling. Russia will take Ukraine but Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe. There is no way that Russia can conquer all of Europe. The West will not attack because Russia has nukes. The sanctions will eventually wear Russia down. What is the end game? Is he that confident that the West will just forgive and forget?
> Seems that it absolutely skews negative for the kids who had to deal with more lockdowns, i.e. not going to school with their peers.

That's incorrect.

If you look at Figure-1 from [the article](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00787-021-01934-z ), it appears that students were happier when they attended either "Not at all" or "Every day". It's the middle-ground options that averaged out to show lower-satisfaction.

Or to frame it differently, students who never went to school in-person reported a net-positive average: 33.5% better vs. 32.7% worse (vs. 33.8% the same). That doesn't support the notion that students didn't like staying home.

That said, I'd warn against over-interpreting such small differences.

---

Separately, if we did want to speculate based on the data: we might guess that it was about consistency.

Students appeared to be happiest when they attended not-all-all or every-day, with lower improvements in middle-ground options.

Comparing the two extremes, there is a preference for every-day over not-at-all (stressing that we're talking about smaller figures here), but even that might be explainable in terms of consistency: because, before the pandemic, students did attend every-day -- so not-at-all was a major shift in lifestyle for those students, i.e. a major inconsistency.

Hypothetically, if students always attended online, but then some had to start attending in-person every-day, we might see the reverse bias, as then it'd be the students who'd have to attend having the major shift in lifestyle.

---

All that said, there appear to be more underlying factors.

For example, if we look at Table 2, it appears that there was a more considerable gender-gap:

* males were happier (2400 vs. 1836);

* females weren't (3185 vs. 3861).

That's a large enough relative-disparity as to suggest that it may be a mistake to interpret the data in a gender-blind way; the little on-average differences seem overshadowed by the gender-differences.
The question obviously is if Ukraine compares to Hitler taking Austria or part of Czechoslovakia and condemnation is just appeasement until an assault on the next country...
The problem is Russia can't defeat NATO without nuclear weapons.
I was personally hit by this back in 2015 as a grad student. We called up our process gas supplier and asked for a k-cylinder of Neon and were laughed off the phone, so we ended up running our experiment on krypton for setup and used a lecture bottle of Neon that a partner lab had left over for the few minutes of data collection we needed to get our result[1].

At the time, we were cursing the semi industry for using up all of the remaining Neon with their billion dollar operating budgets...

Vietnam wasn't part of NATO either, I guess if we're just pointing things out.

I really hope her next step is starting a fab right here in the USA.
Canadian embassy is closed in Ukraine, they have relocated to Poland.
Well, if you were looking a bit more closely you would have noticed a lot of little steps all leading to that goal, so as far as I'm concerned it was inevitable, but you are of course entirely entitled to your own worldview.
It is nothing new, all high level systems programming languages used to have inline Assembly, and ESPOL in 1961 already had intrisics instead.
The Ukrainian army was 400k strong and quite experienced. They're badly out-teched, especially in the air warfare department, but they will make it up with morale - they're defending their motherland.

Russian army just does what it's been told. They're risking their lives to make a select few oligarchs a couple billion richer each. They don't want to be there.

If this doesn't end within a week, it'll take years. Putin knows this, hence the offers of unconditional surrender.
> Nothing because it's too late. But had the west given some concrete promises to Ukraine, I don't know at any time in the last few years, do you really think Russia would have invaded?

What specifically do you mean by "concrete promises"?

The US has been sending military aid to Ukraine for years. Trump tried to withhold it but was eventually forced to send it anyway, it was a pretty big story:

In the movie Demolition Man, Wesley Snipes is a cryogenically frozen prisoner who wakes up in a utopian future and is able to run amok because everyone has become so wimpy.

Like it or not, I think this is relevant here, when we see people making a petition or I literally saw a post on LinkedIn from the UN urging Russia to stop. I don't know much about the situation overall, but applying a peacetime "we signed a petition" lens to it just seems silly. If western nations want to get serious about it (and like I say, I don't understand the conflict enough to have a strong opinion but would default to staying out of it), there are ways, but silly gestures like this are like the unarmed police in demolition man telling Wesley Snipes to stop and then being flummoxed when he ignores them and goes on a crime spree

200 checkboxes make about as much sense as a 200-item dropdown. Neither is manageable. The multi-select dropdown is additionally hard to check for the selections made.

An input box with pill-style auto-completion (see e.g. the tags control on Stackoverflow) would be a reasonable alternative.

Another, larger alternative is the typical two-lists control, with selected items moved from the source list to the target list; this idiom was widely used in Windows since 1990s. It's not mobile-friendly though.
Also because it's very dangerous to attack a place where there's a lot of radioactive waste being stored. And if things go really bad, you can always pull off a "insane Ukrainians just shelled the power plant and broke nuclear containment" - if Russians can't have Kiev, nobody will have it.

I miss the whimsy of the old web. I suspect even the folks who participated in that whimsy and now turn their nose up at a site with an odd design, or sound are to blame.

Whimsy is still out there to some extent but just not as prevalent.
Dams, hydro, iron smelters, steel mills…

What worries me is the idea that some ex-soviet apparatchik (someone like Vladimir himself) might want to take eye-for-eye, and reduce western infrastructure to the same level of ruin of the Soviet’s, after ‘89.

Their industry and economy was struggling and fell apart overnight but the West wasn’t happy to just win, it wanted to Win Big. We rubbed the unproductivity of it in their face, kicked the market wide open to fire sales and mass demobilization… these humiliations create resentment, and you never know who’s the more spitefully determined.
The UK is the only other nuclear power to have detonated nukes on the territory of another country.
Fantastic surprise!
NATO's existence was predicated on the existence of the USSR and the Warsaw pact. The follow up to these is obviously Russia.
weak men, hard times, etc.
NATO forces in or above Ukraine would be the modern equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and we would be the aggressors setting up shop right next to a nuclear power. A lot of our fighter aircraft are nuclear-capable, and the Russians would have no way of telling which missiles are conventional-tipped or nuclear-tipped.

What you're describing is reckless brinksmanship. One mistake or misread and the world ends.

What kind of defence was nato doing in Afghanistan
Russia made a deal with Ukraine like 30 or 40 years ago that Ukraine wouldn't join EU or NATO.

For unknown reasons Ukraine started to want to join EU and/or NATO.

If Ukraine joins NATO then Russia would be basically surrounded by NATO forces.

The biggest issue here is that USA has been placing rockets near the borders of Russia in NATO countries and these rockets just happen to face Russia. If Ukraine joined NATO, who's to say that USA wouldn't place rockets there's as well and thus have an incredibly huge reach into Russia.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a pacifist, if I could I would remove all militaries, there's really no reason to have them, since I believe that with rational conversation you can solve any and all issues.

But a fact is still a fact even if you don't like it...

Watch those again. He never pronounced the word nuclear. It was just a (more or less empty) threat in the poker game he is playing to keep cowardly politicians from helping an independent nation being invaded.

Looks like it worked. I wonder what else are people willing to give up at the mere hint of a nuclear threat: their houses? Their freedom? Their friends? Their spouses? Their children?
is there a citation for what you wrote?

I thought I read the exact opposite of both your sentences some hours ago. perhaps things changed again?
>the timing of this is more related to Putin's political situation at home.

yes, as i already wrote during the last year, Ukraine got Turkish drones and with them the window of opportunity to win the Donbass war (like Azerbaijan/Turkey did against Armenia/Russia). The fall of Donbass would have been a large failure for Putin which his regime would have hard time to survive. Without bringing aviation though Russian forces couldn't operate successfully there (especially given the tank swallowing deep Spring mud what is going to happen in few weeks), and this is what happened yesterday across Ukraine - attacks on airfields and air-defenses, command and control centers, etc.
Now you're thinkin! It's strange that this would fool anyone. The US has been transparent and accurate with stories, and it doesn't seem that USS... er Russia is firewalling off the internet just yet. Although I think that is soon to follow so that western stories will be limited except to those who tunnel through. I had hope Putin was just doing some dick swinging before April elections but it looks like I'm 100% wrong. it's not like he was going to lose anyway or that he's anything other than a dictator.
They don't need Russian support to attack Taiwan and Russian economic support is meaningless. They won't do it because there is no incentive to. The US has to bribe them. Think of China like an evil corporation. They won't do anything except for their own best interests. Like Facebook with nukes.
That's awesome, the end result seems enjoyable even for us adults! :)
The station has been shut down since 2000. There's no power supply there.
OK, tell me how it does work.

Russia obliterates Katowice, one of several countries obliterates Volgograd. What is the next move? You just ended the lives of a million of your citizens. You just stop there?
Yeah I'm past this point in my life but there was nearly a decade post-college where I would have really enjoyed continuing to live in dorm-style housing with other people at a similar stage of life. Saving money on top of it would've made that a no brainer. It's a bit tangential to the discussion on SROs to address homelessness, but I wish that SROs were a more acceptable housing style for a variety of use cases.
And the buildings they are sitting in, in all likelihood, were built by people who are dead now.
Intel will not get more favorable treatment from TSMC than AMD.

- Intel compete with TSMC for foundry services

- Intel try to get government subsidy by attacking TSMC's location, national security concerns etc, which caused TSMC original founder publicly respond with not too kind words.

- Let one customer buy capacity to starve other customers will hurt the basic business model and trust of TSMC as a foundry service, but people keep suggesting this from their imagination.

The Russian people are already pretty angry with Putin over Ukraine. And they are going to be a lot angrier about the coming sanctions, then it doesn't really matter if they are angry with Putin or the west.

There is no way Putin will say after this war "Thank you sir, may I have another?" He'll be hard pressed to keep financing his military...
Chernobyl power plant isn't operational since 2000.
(I apologise in advance for my apparent ignorance on this) but are we sure we properly actually understand why people are homeless?

Is there a proportion of homelessness that is to some extent - although I hesitate to use this word - "voluntary"? Is there really nowhere else to go other than to sleep on the streets?

I'm glad to see we have the right reasons at heart for caring about human events.
Pretty much everywhere[1]. "Far right" is more accurate than "right wing". But tldr, Putin and Russia have been building ties with far right and evangelical parties and groups across the west for the past decade or two.

Currently working on Android + iOS apps that handle the ipfs:// protocol natively and allow users to upload files as well. I think you're right on target RE: more protocol adoption and hopefully something as simple as making the links work natively and letting people upload with a simple interface will help out. The IPFS extension exists for Chrome/Firefox/Opera for similar functionality.

Out of my hands but getting more browsers than Brave to add support seems like the next place to start pushing IMO.
Seems like a scam. This shouldn't be here.
It reads to me as different goals. You know those slightly asymmetric board games where different players have different objectives? I think Putin has already amassed effectively infinite money and power, so his new goal is immortality, which I think means establishing a greater legacy by restoring as much of the the Soviet Union's old borders as it can. This is probably not actually in Russia's interests, but the goal isn't "Russia succeeds," it's "Putin remembered as great."
This all seems a rather pointless argument. I don't want to live in a country that is hit by 5, 10 or 50 Nuclear Strikes. Period.
Think of it, billions of `0000-00-00 00:00:00`s!
Seems like automatic differentiation should be covered.
I don't claim to be able to draw up very specific legal code here, or even that there is some "objectively optimal" answer. I just don't think "it's better than sleeping on the street" is a great mode of argument, because 1) it might not even be true if people were fully informed of the risks associated with every rental unit and 2) even if it is true, society might not be willing to allow landlords to earn unrestricted profit from renting units that are infinitesimally "better than sleeping on the street."
Also a great news bullet point in the information war. "Russian forces taking Chernobyl" sounds much more familiar and much more terrifying than "Russian forces taking Chernihiv region" to all of us unfamiliar with the country. Even if strategically realistically it's the latter that is more important than the former.
Except that that wasn't going to happen anyway... the desire was there on the Ukranian side but just as the EU did not want them to join NATO had already distanced themselves quite a bit.
