Demographically, Russian speakers in this part were reliant on Ukraine for much of its access to natural resources and capital, there is a sense of being poor and looked down upon by the Ukranians in the West and its exactly this class divide that fuels ethno-nationalism.

To simply whip out a PDF and scream disinformation seem awfully short sighted way to influence people's opinions especially because it is condescending to the average HN user who has access to a plethora of fact finding search engines and social media to judge what the truth is.

It's up to the readers to gather information themselves and find the truths, not have it shoved down their throat in some emotional mania state of us vs them primal instincts.

Ukraine was never part of the West and it can never be if you understand the military strategic value of its flatlands.
How can the treaty be read to not apply to conventional war? Are you saying that one can invade Ukraine and still "respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine"?
That's fascinating. Would love to hear about what kinds of contraptions you made that were breakable, given I'm struggling to imagine how you couldn't conceive of a way to keep said octopus trapped. How difficult can it be?
Same here. I wonder if the US could expedite setting up a refugee pipeline to the Bay Area. Guessing most people in the region would be for it.
Absolute nonsense. There are over 80 million fit and healthy vegans worldwide.

Processed food weather it is vegan or carnist is always more expensive but fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, grains etc are all actually very very cheap compared to meat and diary in a western diet.
Well, the first election was as legit as any other election before when measured by Weimar Republic standards. As was the process of forming a coalition government. The second election so was a total power grab and the opposite of legitimate.

When you visit the Reichstag in Berlin you can see all the postboxes of past members of parliament, including people like Göring and Hitler. Because the first time they were elected legitimately. After that, and until the formation of the BRD, those boxes show a gap for obvious reasons.

We would all do ourselves a favor by acknowledging the fact that the Nazis were, at one point, a legitimate political party in a legitimate democracy. Because there are a lot of lessons to be drawn from that very fact.
Mind reading is not real.
> You may not like the results and might have issues with the process

The issues with the process include (among many other issues) the fact that the borders that the separatists claim and to which they claim these referenda apply (and whose borders have been recognized by Russia, though given the decapitation strike Russia is making on Ukraine, that’s less important than it would otherwise be) are much larger than the areas they actually controlled at the time and conducted them in.

It reverses the order of the axes. There is also a dyadic variant, which provides a new order for the axes. Duplicating an axis is no problem; but there is a danger of leaving out an axis. So in j, instead, the specified axes are moved to the rear.
You don't have to worry about that. They have been reducing their reliance on USD for everything over the past couple of years[1][2]. The West has been asleep and drunk on its ignorance for a while now.

China has been selling services to Iran for oil for years now. Instead of actually paying for it in currency.

You can only threaten sanctions so many times when the other side is a world power. Trumps America showed that the US a bit of a toothless tiger when they didn't retaliate after Iran shot rockets at their Iraq military base.

The burden of a violent diet (nmeat and diary) is much higher that a plant based one to any sane human.
Besides what's already mentioned by siblings:

- Forwards (and usually also backwards) compatible disk format, meaning version updates don't require more than a few minutes of downtime. On large datasets, postgresql can require days or weeks.

- Replication works across version differences, making upgrades without any downtime at all easier.

- No need for a vacuum process that can run into trouble with a sustained high write load.

- Page-level compression, reducing storage needs for some types of data quite a bit.

- Clustered primary keys. Without these, some types of queries can become rather slow when your table doesn't fit in memory. (Example: a chat log containing many billions of messages, which you're querying by conversion-id.)

- xtrabackup (innobackupex) is awesome.

> First, Putin is likely to carry this war to its conclusion. The reputational cost of turning back now, with blood already shed, would be catastrophic. Putin’s only way out is through, unfortunately.

I don't totally agree, Putin called this a "special operation": this is vague enough so he can claim "mission accomplished" cherry picking any "war accomplishment" he wants. To people claiming he failed his invasion, he can just say "you called it an invasion, it was never an invasion, I said it wasn't an invasion from the beginning."
Dictators are people, they have goals and motivations and fears like anyone else. Imo saying it was an unavoidable act of Putin's madness is a cop-out. There's nothing for international relations to learn from this situation? I sure hope that's not the case, Putin won't be the last dictator with military power in human history.
DLF is as much tainted as the BBC or NPR world news. Pure government propaganda. You can also see it in real time whenever government changes, how the DLF reporting shifts with it.

Rather pick more independent nations, like ORF Ö1 or Swiss Radio.

Btw I've worked in both government propaganda radio and independent radio.
All good points. I am ashamed for both some of the things that happened and that way too few has been held responsible.

Please forgive those of us who where tricked into it, too young to vote etc.

I'll try to do my part to prevent more of it.

Edit: as for the phrase "the free world", read it to mean "freer to those inside it" if that helps.
At the behest of the UN security council, and the Libyan government afterwards asked NATO to extend their mission which they refused.
SWIFT was already questioned when it was already used against Iran, a supposed exception. The service relies on neutrality towards any transaction, it is not a vehicle for war.

I can't say anything on whether NATO attacked Libya but it's members certainly dabble in the various conflicts trying to extract advantage. I had a conversation with a "systems thinker" of British origin who straight out said that he was involved in a group that were distributing cell phones to members of the population of Libya so they could call in air strikes against government forces. Apart from the obvious problem of getting NATO to do the dirty work to remove your enemies no matter that faction they belonged to the most striking thing was the arrogance and ease with which this person justified their position. It was a reflection of the thinking from 100 years ago where the British assumed everything they did was with God's blessing and Johnny Foreigner needed to do what they were told or suffer the consequences.
The good analogy on Ukraine crisis. Imaging if Mexico joined Russian military alliance (created specifically against US) and decided to put Russian troops and bases on their territory. What would happened to Mexico? Would US allowed that?
NATO clearly answers this, No First Use. Individual countries can deploy though. US says no first use except in response to WMDs (so bioweapons or chemical weapons).

By clearly defining it, it makes it less likely to escalate to accidental MAD. We know the line, Russia knows the line. And they know the potential consequences should they choose to cross it.

On the other hand Russia has recently been opening their doctrine to allow nuclear strikes in response to conventional attacks. Further they threaten nuclear responses. They're intentionally blurring the lines because they feel they can get away shenanigans in the confusion.

So you're worried about Russia (already a strong ally of China) will ally with China? You're worried that Russia (having spent the last decade trying to decouple itself from the dollar) will try and decouple itself from the dollar?

Russia is marauding about Ukraine and people are arguing against doing the bare minimum because they're worried Russia will change payment systems. Russia has already built their own alternative to SWIFT and will eventually switch to it regardless.

> The reason being, purely from a military strategic thinking: Moscow simply cannot afford to have a vulnerable flank from the wide open fields of Ukraine and Belarus.

I don't know, my country has vulnerable flanks from wide open fields on all sides that aren't sea. Only if you start with the assumption that everybody not under your influence wants to destroy you, then your argument makes sense. But that assumption is insane. Russia had plenty time and encouragement to move the narrative from military talk to trade talk but unilaterally refused.
> Putin is just doing what NATO did in Serbia in 90s

Well, no.

He may be claiming loosely similar things, but people can claim similar things when doing radically different ones.
But then you would have literal paperwork to explain why your performance is not up to standards - because the websites you need are not accessible, because your time is spent filling and handing in forms instead of your job.

You mean: like Latvia. Where it works just fine.

> To simply whip out a PDF and scream disinformation seem awfully short sighted way to influence people's opinions especially because it is condescending to the average HN user who has access to a plethora of fact finding search engines and social media to judge what the truth is.

Yes, the truth is: the Eastern part of Ukraine was the poorest, mostly because of the flow of capital going West-to-East, like in most countries that border even poorer countries to their East and richer countries to their West.

> It's up to the readers to gather information themselves and find the truths, not have it shoved down their throat in some emotional mania state of us vs them primal instincts.

Ah, the 'do your own research' bit. Yes, I remember that from some other context.

> Ukraine was never part of the West and it can never be if you understand the military strategic value of its flatlands.

The same was said of Poland and of the Baltics.

But it's clear what your angle is.
People inside the Ukraine or Russia should read the US WWII Simple Sabotage Field Manual:

Winning the ground war will probably be easy for Putin. Governing the resulting quagmire will be much more difficult.
>You cannot pick and choose to define bullies and human rights' abusers as benevolent just because they benefited their preferred section of society.

Right just like how the US enslaved black people and put the Japanese in internment camps, slaughtered millions of civilians with nuclear bombs in world war 2, displaced entire societies of pacific islanders because of the same testing of nuclear bombs, killed thousands of Chinese Americans building railroad tracks...

The US has it's fair share of atrocities. Many of them on par with China if not Worse. Do these atrocities define a nation? No. No they do not. However they remain a part of the nations identity permanently.

It is the same with China. The atrocities do not define a nation that is far more complex then the black and white characterization you seem so adamant about maintaining. The benevolence of lifting an entire civilization out of poverty into first world status isn't just a "preferred section" of society. China is the most populous country in the world with 18.47% of all humans living in that country. It is a major achievement and more people would be suffering in the world right now if China didn't exist.

What's the preferred section of society in the US? White people? Come on man. You may not want to call China Benevolent but looking at the US and other countries, China is no more and no less benevolent then the other places.

The main point here is that "dictatorship" doesn't necessarily automatically mean a horrible regime of hitler level evil. Just like how it's hard to call the US purely good or purely evil it is the same with China.
They were legal political party that got to parlament. They got 30% votes roughly.

One of their tactics was considerable amount of street violence, both during elections to prevent wrong people from voting and to make them afraid of voting for wrong party. And also considerable violence to create chaose that would need order. People like to pretend those were normal elections to make a point about fragility of democracy. But, the real point is maybe that parties that are violent before getting power continue to be violent after.

And maybe that another point is that threats and violence around election day and toward voters matter - and makes those elections not really free.

Afaik, there was no similar violence and threats in Ukraine. Their elections and Nazi elections were not comparable. Weinmar with all its political violence for years (and not just from nazi) is not comparable to Ukraine before Russian invasion either.
Fwiw my shell alias looks like this

Oh yes, we should definitely be trying to escalate this situation between two nuclear superpowers /s

Not sure if it is more relevant when you immediately hear about increased radiation from the power plant.
one could argue the need to displace grazing landmass, that could support free-range animals, with endless fields of low-throughput vegetables that need more land and water per capita-calorie/nutrient is far more damaging to the planet.

Yes, I think you have it right, now.

I’m actually surprised about your listed definitions because as a native english speaker, those definitions seem definitively wrong to me, as desperation means exactly that you haven’t quite yet given up hope even though the situation is dire. “Desperate” is like an intense kind of desire, which in my mind is the opposite of hopelessness.
You are repeating Russian propaganda, several points of which were repeatedly refuted (for example the polls about eastern Ukraine wanting to join Russia).
you're generalizing quite a bit here, perhaps driven by emotion. it's possible given the movement for compassion for animals to purchase local, free-range, cruelty-free sourced eggs at any decent grocer.
Thanks. Not sure if Karabiner is available for Linux, but I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41364833/karabiner-for-l... which might help me.
Most of Russia's government budget is not spend on the army. I think North Korea is closer to that mark although it's probably even harder to estimate.

NK is not really expansionist but China is. So China. Who also spend 4-5x what Russia does in absolute. And I don't say it worked well to appease them.

I'm wondering what the difference is. Some pro-war people are drawing "lines" but it's not really clear to me exactly what those lines are. Beyond WWII and Nazis, which is not a reasonable analysis and seems more like a typical cheap appeal to emotion.
I'm a little confused. The article argues that Ukraine is not a Nazi country (for clarity: I agree with it) and the argument is "the president of Ukraine is Jew". But it does't contradict to Putin. I'm not sure where my confusion comes from, but it seems to me it is because of different ideas named by the same word.

It seems to me that the author defines Nazi as anti-Jewish, while Putin has in mind more broad definition "anti-ethnos, for any ethnos". Being Russian I'm sure that my understanding of Putin is correct. Putin talks that Ukraine supposedly anti-Russian, prosecutes and kills Russians living in Ukraine, dreams of genocide of Russians and so on.

So the argument of the article seems to be a non-sequitur. But if we defined Nazi as anti-Jewish that the argument would cease to be a non sequitur, it would be completely logical and conviencing.

But maybe I do not understand something else?

I'd like to clarify one more time, because it is a hot political topic. I do not think that Ukraine is anti-Russian-ethnos. I'm sure it is now strongly anti-Putin and even anti-Russian Federation, and rightly so. So regardless of what definition of Nazism we used, Putin declaration is a lie.
This sounds like justifying aggression with extra steps. Wrapping it in fine words while just saying "Russia is right" won't fly

Funny how everybody is playing the "China in Mexico" strawman. Typical of propaganda talking points.

But please tell me again how bombing Kyiv has anything to do with "liberating" the eastern regions

Gee, as a Brit, I'm sure glad we didn't elect any of those anti-nuclear nutbags into office as we've been watching this situation unfold with grim concern for the last 30 years as every opportunity we've had to deal with these issues has been not just ignored but dismissed by our leaders with utter contempt /s
> I like and enjoy my privacy. I want offices to still be a thing.

Given that today most offices seem to have an open plan, your two sentences seem contradictory.
I can say that I know people who are much less skilled than you and also less ethic, that are hacking into any low hanging fruit that they can and selling a shell (access) to those systems to FSB. I imagine that Ukraine would have a similar program to pay for such kind of access on Russia infrastructure or government systems.
I suppose the easiest one would be to DDoS any website/service with ties to the Putin and band.
Neither can the government produce food out of a vacuum. So?
Isn't this situation a side effect of the “old ways”, where you had to go to work? So you optimized differently: smaller space, and no work space at home because you had one at the office where you had to go anyway, so it was better to live closer.

Also, not all offices provide decent work spaces. The permanent humming of the AC, background chatter, cheap monitors, ridiculously low quality peripherals, wonky chairs… I could go on all day.

In the end, it's almost as if there wasn't a single, universal best case…

And I think this is what grates people, trying to apply a universal blanket policy when each person's situation and preferences are different, and they could all (or most of them) be satisfied at the same time.
Making from scratch turns out to be amazingly easy. I stopped using mixes, and found it really takes no more time, and the results are more gratifying.

When I do bake with sugar, I use dextrose, which in the US is sold as "corn sugar", online or from homebrew supply stores. In a pinch, light corn syrup serves. (Corn sugar has no fructose.) Sometimes you need keep 10% as brown sugar to get the druggy feeling you can only get from fructose.
Sure, they used violence. As I said, the first time the elections wasn't any special compared to others in the Weimar republic. And sure, violent people and organizations only become more violent the power they have and the more shit they get away with.

The true violence campaign happened during the second election so. Which is the reason this election isn't considered legitimate anymore. And 30 % would make them a contender to form a coalition government in modern day Germany, just for perspective.
As noted above - you leave the tiniest hole and they'll escape. Or we might be trying to confine him to a portion of the habitat for a certain purpose and he would break his way out of his "sub-domain".
even if you were to get a US attorney to prosecute you by turning yourself in, they'll highly likely give you probation even with "mandatory minimums"
MongoDB is distributed, PostGreSQL and SQlite are not.

However you have tools to use PostGreSQL and SQLite in a distributed way, like Citus or DQlite.

Do you want or need a distributed database ? If not, you can safely ignore MongoDB and similar databases. Non distributed databases are much simpler to administrate and use.

Caps Lock being Esc is so convenient that I use Esc a lot more outside of Vim too. Stop the browser loading a page? a quick pinky tap on the caps lock. Take the focus out of a text field (so I can use my Vimium commands)? tap the caps lock. Decide not to save or open that file after all? caps lock's got your back.

The remapping was originally for Vim, but now at least a third of my Esc usage is outside of it.
