This unfortunately appears to be true; there's a number of people there, especially international students, who've been trying to flee and report getting blocked at the borders.

Ukraine is not a flawless guilt-free country, nowhere is, but that should not be used to distract people from the reality of the invasion.
Minor, possibly relevant fact: The company was started by conscientous objectors, and we set a policy to not market towards the weapon industry.

We decided that we'd accept orders from anyone and answer support mail, but not do anything at all to attract any army-related business. If someone were to send us a request for a quote, we'd answer the direct question but not even ask back later to check the status of the purchase process. And we'd do this quietly, because it's a matter of ethical everyday behaviour, not of marketing or grandstanding.

The policy was still in force some years after I left.

(We acted on our own beliefs. I notice that someone else here thinks they ought to block America, and posting on HN shows that he/she is not acting on his/her own beliefs.)
A nuclear war is going to eliminate lots of categories of goods: pharmaceuticals and electronics come to mind as instantly unavailable to survivors. Lots of categories like eyeglasses/contact lenses, cleaning supplies, bicycles, automobiles will become unavailable over a longer, but still rapid time frame.

You might be able to survive past the first few weeks in space, but then be unable to survive the shortages on the ground.
Ukraine as Swiss Mongolia: Neutrality as an End to War
Because it’s hard? It requires forcing your kid to do something they probably don’t want to when you’re likely already exhausted from the other demands of staying afloat, especially if you’re a single parent.

But reasonable test prep is very obviously obtainable from a monetary perspective. My own SAT prep was mostly a $20 workbook, and my score improved immensely by the third practice test. Even $1,000 can be achieved if it’s made the top priority besides food/shelter. And my impression is that for many Asians, that’s where the priority sits.
The media will cook up a story so outrageous and angering, nobody will notice the MIC brewing underneath. I doubt many people learned from the middle-east.
I kinda like when "hard mode" makes you have to come up with a possible word even if it seems impossible to think of one, which can be a satisfying puzzle, not having the restriction makes it easy to think "okay screw it, I'm going to spend a guess to search for letters".
GPU is just one part, there are many more. As soon as you have network connections in play the state you'd need to restore isn't even all on the device.
Assuming you're talking about Compass Letters:
Right now, it's a B2C business. So you're plucking customers one by one. That's ineffective. What you'd like is to turn it into a B2B2C problem:

Take a step back and look at the bigger picture: You're marketing to parents who are educated, have likely travelled places themselves. They're reasonably well off to consider this a small expense. These are parents who are professionals. They likely work for big companies. Big companies with HR departments.

Instead of selling to the parents, sell to the "Head of HR" person in large companies. You find these people on LinkedIn. They, too, are likely parents. And the pitch becomes that it's a lovely gift to employees (for Xmas, for their b-day, as new joiners), at a highly attractive price point, which will keep on giving all year round. As a bonus, gift them personally a subscription for their own children. (Your product becomes the marketing. This is where it costs you.)

Only this time, for every person converted, you'll get hundreds, possibly thousands of sales.
Flappy Pong. Fun stuff! Well done
>In addition, Russian annexation of some or all of Ukraine would increase Russian manpower, industrial capacity, and natural resources

Right now the only thing from that list it will provide is natural resources. Industrial capacity and cities are being destroyed. Good luck making an army of conscripts from Ukraine that you expect to fight the west (although russia's way of doing things would be to send them east to fight China).
Possibly also assuming that the Ukrainian army would falter like it did in 2014.

Totally ignoring (or not even receiving) the intelligence reports about the buildup that happened since then.

In any case, it's a surprising display of incompetence on so many levels. Possibly enough that in the end Putin's regime will fall without making Ukraine or the world a wasteland.
There is is nazi presence in EVERY country in the world. Also in US and EU. And no, Ukraine doesn't have the biggest one.

So what is your point?
As your [2] says

This is more akin to having Dostoevsky on big print and in Open Dyslexic font, on thick pages easy to grab and handle. Is not about easing the media itself or diluting its essence, it's about making it approachable to people that want to experience it and is not able to.

I am not disabled in any relevant way, but i know intimately people that is, and having a big chunk of the world unreachable like that is very demoralizing.

Accessibility is important; short of a punishing worldwide eugenics program, there will always be people that require accommodations, and that may perfectly happen to you or a loved one.

It's always good to be mindful of other's needs.
> For example the img tag allows you to, amongst other things, render an svg.

I don't think the GP meant "write an image renderer" when they said "get a very simple barebones HTML renderer". Most languages have libraries for encoding/decoding images in various formats, so aside from how it would fit into document layout, this is a non-issue.
The mobile games are experiments for Nintendo to find out how their games fit in the mobile gaming world. I think they are full aware of how perverse incentives can kill all the fun in games, so for now I give them the benefit of doubt.

You can find some white supremacist/neo-nazi fuckwits pretty much wherever you go, there are probably more then a few in most western militaries (and I wonder how many you could find in the Russian military). It's not grounds for overthrowing a democracy and murdering innocent civilians in the process, particularly when according to your sources:

Are you implying that having a neo-nazi problems justifies the invasion? Because that’s what it sounds like.

There’s also some irony in dismissing this article as propaganda when all you’ve pointed out is that it, offhandedly I might say, called the situation Kremlin propaganda. Especially it since consists mostly predictions, an enormous amount of which have become true.
You're severely underestimating how brainwashed they are. They're being brainwashed with fake history and nationalism since kindergarten. They will read the truth on the internet, and immediately dismiss it and then tell you that you're wrong about events you yourself or your parents have observed. It took me several years to undo some of the damage with one Russian person who moved here - they simply couldn't believe their state is such a horrible aggressor, in their mind it was so outlandish it must be totally fake.

I gave a reasoned argument and you responded with ad hominem. I don’t think it’s the “Go fans” who are toxic. We merely disagree, and that’s okay.
Azov is a single militia unit with plenty of non-neo-Nazi members, who joined because it's well equipped and has high morale rather than to advance some far-right cause.

Yea - `embedded-graphics` is nice for embedded primatives and text.
Dancer of the Boreal Valley would like a word with you.

While the strategy could be oversimplified to 'hit hit run', it misses the nuance of learning how to apply that strategy to a given boss. I ended up clocking over 600 hours on DS3, between personal challenge runs and invasions, and as the other comment suggests, your level (and gear, and how you distributed your stats) will have a big impact on how difficult a boss feels.

My first playthrough was an absolute slog, since I had very little idea what I was doing with combat, and had no idea how to optimize my character. On my 20th (or whatever) time, with a purposefully under-leveled character (Strength build), most bosses were one-and-done with the right game-sense and cheese tactics (Greatclub is great, and if you disagree, you are liable to be flattened).

If I'm in the zone, Gundyr is a minor roadblock between character creation and Firelink shrine. I think my record is around 2 minutes to activate the shrine bonfire?

Vordt? Gimmie that raw +3 (I think) broadsword with lighting resin, and he's dead meat at SL1[0] since his timings are very predictable after the 15th time killing him. Getting a raw +3 broadsword is the hardest part there.

Dancer, Pontiff, and the wrinkly pink screeching guy in the castle side area are still my hardest fights due to their patterns and movesets.

[0] SL1 = Soul Level 1, achievable when you start as the naked guy with a club and never level up. All other base classes have a starting SL greater than 1.

The current reports are fuel shortages are at least partially self-sabotage (hole in the gas tank), Russia has mandatory conscription. It does look like low morale and dissent are not insignificant. And when people stop “tanks with their hands” it’s not because of technical logistics.
Ah, a competitor on one of my previous jobs (large European web hosting provider) did that. That was one of the reasons a lot of theirs customers came to us, becaus they couldn't do business with Russian clients.

I think we had better systems in place to mitigate spam and hacking than they did so we didn't have to take blaket actions like that, but a lot of it did come from Russia (not the majority tho).
Building an Effective Digital Platform: The Benefits, Challenges, and Approach
One can examine each image and see if the object displayed in it is unique. I saw one news report which had multiple photos of the same object but taken from different angles and it must be said, from different people. Authentic very much so, however the number of images needs to be normalised with the number of objects.
Sure - but you (or a pinning provider) need the actual file first before you can re-pin it. The data has to live somewhere.
+1 to a witness-protection-type program for Russian soldiers. How can we expect them to want to stop without it? The choice is: carry out your questionable orders, or be court-martialed and be sentenced to treason by a stone-cold regime.

The decision is pretty obvious for most.
I've seen many photos of Russian tanks and armored vehicles stuck in mud. Rasptitsa may have come early this year.
Yep, also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Kuwait

>The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was an operation conducted by Iraq on 2 August 1990, whereby it invaded the neighboring State of Kuwait, consequently resulting in a seven-month-long Iraqi military occupation of the country.[17] The invasion and Iraq's subsequent refusal to withdraw from Kuwait by a deadline mandated by the United Nations[18] led to a direct military intervention by a United Nations-authorized coalition of forces led by the United States. These events came to be known as the first Gulf War,

Iraq started the cascade by invading it's neighbor and trying to occupy it and take it over.

Some of us were around when Java was young and can compare a 5yo Go codebase with a 5yo Java codebase :)

> Also, repeating the same code many times due to lack of expressiveness is not the epitome of long-lived software. Essential complexity is non-reducable, the only way we can deal with it is through abstractions

Repetition is not a big deal in a local context (e.g., error handling or for loops), and Go is rarely repetitive in larger contexts. Gratuitous abstraction is a much greater danger than extra keystrokes IMHO.

There's always a lot of weird circumlocutions around "merit" and "opportunity."

In NYC, the poverty rate is higher among Asians than among African Americans or Latinos. In what way do the latter groups have "less opportunity"? Is it simply that Asian kids only succeed because they cheat by studying more?
Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer Covid-19 mRNA Vaccine
People find the truth that standardized testing and school placement is mostly expressive of IQ uncomfortable. IQ is mostly genetic. When this doesn't evenly distribute across people groups people find it problematic. Again, this truth is uncomfortable.

North east Asians in the US at or below the poverty line score better on average on the SAT than African-Americans from households with incomes above 100k. If there was a socioeconomic lever to pull we should pull it. The evidence says there is not.

Look it up.

I don't think we can create true equitable solutions until we get past these myths that everyone is just the right environmental conditions away from high academic achievement.

That only applies to liberal democracies. We have a choice on a regular and recurring basis.
I'm sure OP is asking this in good faith. It's a reasonable question. But I want to remind everyone here, and really stress, that "What about Iraq and Afghanistan" is literally reasoning Vladimir Putin is using to invade Ukraine.

I would like to ask people not to amplify that message while Europe is at war with Putin. Talk about it after all you like, it's a very reasonable question, but distracting the discourse while everybody is united over support for Ukraine is what he wants.

Do not signal boost him.

Your example lists two outliers, though. Nobody thinks the kid with the 1600 SAT score who gets passed over by the Ivy admissions committee is going to turn to a life of cannabis and government handouts; we're not that racist. That kid is exceptional and will always be considered as an individual. The squirmy mass of kids with average scores are more of a concern.

Sure, but why exactly should I be the one reaching out? If she emailed me saying "Yeah I don't know what I was thinking saying all that stuff about gay people and Mexicans, please forgive me", then I'm willing to forgive and forget. But that's not going to happen; if I reach out, it will just be me pretending that she isn't a racist homophobic sack of shit, and if I'm doing that, I'm not completely convinced that that's the superior outcome; a reason that bigotry is allowed to exist is because people turn a blind eye to it.

You're right though, everyone avoiding her is just going to push her further down the QAnon rabbit hole, and that's sad.
I got the impression that he meant $1,000 total, not recurring. Surely most people can scrape together $1,000 over years, if it’s made a priority.

I fail to see any credible alternative to "dangling NATO membership". It's the eastern european countries themselves with historical experience with Russia that clamored for NATO membership. In the US there are many influential children of eastern european immigrants that saw it as necessity too.

Even if it was possible to leave these countries in the cold "stfu we must not anger russia" that would do no good either, many of them would likely fail under such "denied future" circumstances.
I have live in Dallas TX, the place i would go is Ft. Davis or maybe Alpine TX. Both of those places are in Southwest TX not from the Mexican border and don't seem to be in or near any target list. I know the area very well having spent a lot of time in Marfa and Marathon ( i was married in Marathon ).

The fallout maps are kind of all over the place, you can GIS for us nuclear fallout map but below is a link to a simulation that is in alignment with the rest of the maps more or less. Granted, local weather makes a huge difference so take that into account.

https://nuclearwarmap.com/simulation01.html

The signal in my mind is a NATO soldier killing a Russian soldier. I wfh so if that happens i go work from Alpine TX for a week and see if there's an escalation. If not, i come back and buy a round of drinks for my friends for being a paranoid nutjob.

Granted, it's not that simple. I have a wife+2kids and MIL in a garage apartment. what about them? Also, we have 5 pets between us. Do i hire a pet sitter? heh it's ridiculous to contemplate to the point of being offensive to those with artillery raining down on them right at this moment. But given the brain i'm blessed/cursed with, thinking through these things is how i cope.

edit: i want to reiterate this.

I've lived outside of a cozy democracy. When its regime tried to go full authoritarian in 2013/2014, my countrymen got their Molotov cocktails ready.

"People get the government they deserve" is spot on. I'd also like to add that every single person pays the price for the actions of their government, regardless whether they choose to care who rules them or choose to disregard it (which is an equally conscious choice with equal consequences).
Most interactions between tests are really minor and indistinguishable from random noise. Those ones aren't worth worrying about.

There are two ways to deal with the bigger interaction effects. First is to predict which experiments will meaningfully interact ahead of time and split the samples between them (making the tests take longer). Second is to run tests in parallel on all users and look at the data to determine interaction effects after the fact (and potentially need to invalidate some results).

In our experience, a mix of these approaches works best. It's really hard to predict meaningful interaction effects ahead of time, so save that for the really obvious cases (e.g. black text on a black background). For everything else, the benefit of running more experiments usually outweighs the cost of occasionally needing to throw out results because of interaction effects. It's much better to run 10 tests and need to throw out 1 than it is to run 5 tests.
