Leave it there, try not to spend it, and try to get a higher paying job.

The only thing I'd suggest is that, depending on what your personal safety net looks like (if you hit 0, can you live with your parents?), you put the 40k into ETFs/stocks too instead of just cash.

Ukraine is playing this whole thing, so far, brilliantly. The time to prepare since Crimea was annexed was apparently used very, very well.

The asylum for deserters probably wouldn't work if they have family back in Russia.
I participated in anti-war protests against the 2nd Iraq War. The whole world was extremely angry with the Bush regime and their war crimes. It's an absolute shame that e.g. Rumsfeld and Cheney have never been prosecuted for ordering torture, and the Bush jr. regime shattered the reputation of the US like no other US government before. Sanctions were not imposed for various geopolitical reasons, many EU governments acted cowardly. The EU was split between supporters of the war and governments against it. That being said, Saddam Hussein was an absolutely atrocious dictator and the idea of removing him from power was essentially good. The 2nd Iraq War is not remotely comparable with Russia's war on the Ukraine in that respect. The means were very wrong, though, ill-conceived without an exit strategy, and based on an illicit aggression. That's why we were protesting.

This is why I'm very happy that Russia is hit with maximum sanctions now. The world's unity against Russia's aggression is unprecedented, and my hope is that this firm response will also make future wars by other countries (including the US) less likely.
Sanctions can exist against USA, but you’d only hear about them buried in the subject matter of tariffs. There’s no technical disqualifier.

In 2003, there were protests for sure. But the background on why Iraq was invaded is different than Ukraine.

Gulf 1 was a United Nations mission ending in 1991 with a ceasefire. Breaking the terms of that ceasefire could happen if:

- no-fly zone violated

- weapons inspectors denied access anywhere

- material support for attacks outside the country

Saddam violated the first two and confessed to world media about having WMDs. It was a lie, but it wasn’t hard for W to keep it going.

- regime change became USA policy under Ws predecessor, allowing him to say this is not simply an oil play.

A better Saddam could have admitted he lied about WMDs and surrendered in order to spare his people.
>or if it means compensating for all the circumstances of their birth

If this is the objective, then we need to start a lot earlier than the point of university admissions. Also, "circumstances of their birth" would need to be broadened to encompass quite a bit more than just race.
I think the most distinguishing feature is the superb environment and tooling that is a integral part of the language, by default, in most Smalltalk dialects. The tooling is so seamless integrated, that you're nudged towards simply code inside the debugger. Things like search method by example feel like a superpower. See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HOuZyOKa91o

If you're interested in experience what a modern Smalltalk looks like, I strongly recommend the Pharo programming MOOC. It was a eye opener for me: https://mooc.pharo.org/

> Thanks to IPFS you can access the data the same way

I think this is a big feature that I hadn't recognized until you phrased it this way. It allows a strategy of guaranteeing *at least 1* pin of your data if it's important, but from the application side, you can forget about the details of the data storage.

I doubt IPFS is fast enough to justify it over other strategies today, but it makes me think of a type of cache where if a CID can't be found, you might rehydrate some slow, cold-storage data and push it back out to the network.

Many people saw through the phony pretenses for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I'm not sure why so much of HN pretends otherwise. I guess they believe that if they were duped, and they're super smart, then surely everyone else must have been duped as well. This couldn't be further from the truth. There were many people calling these wars BS from the start.

Hello. I'm a software developer with lots of experience in full stack and backend development. The languages I've used most are Java, Ruby ( Ruby on Rails ), Python, and JavaScript. I'm looking for a junior/entry level software engineer position.

I attended Virginia Tech for three years and studied Computer Science and Math. I got the core CS curriculum completed; the part I didn't complete were the electives. I had to stop attending because I ran out of money.

I'm mostly interested in remote positions with a team whose core hours align with East Coast work hours. Due to my current financial situation, unfortunately I'll require a salary position - no equity only.

With all that said, I'm open to having a conversation with anyone.

Thanks!

A potential disconnect is the timeframes, I would guess they went to school there decades ago? I have limited direct experience with the tutoring market here, having moved to the area as an adult without kids, but do have a family member and a colleague who did it for some extra cash and the costs I was hearing then (~4-5 years ago) were more like thousands. If I think about folks with kids on my block - again, limited to my direct experience (although within a fairly dense and lower income neighborhood), people are working as movers, maids, day laborers, random car fixing and odd jobs, etc. I wouldn't doubt that the next step up of folks like construction workers or mechanics employed full-time could cover a cheaper tutor, but these costs are simply not negligible. It's not a cheap place to live in to begin with.
There are no opposition parties in Russia. On the topic of the war the main sentiment is "We can do it again" (Можем повторить).

When prominent leader of "opposition" Navalny was asked about returning Crimea to Ukraine after Putin, answer was "It is not a sandwich to pass it back and forth".
I’ve long thought that Smalltalk is as much a functional programming language as an object-oriented one, if not more so. From what I’ve seen, idiomatic Smalltalk code is constructed largely using anonymous functions, higher-order functions, function chaining, and other forms of function composition — hallmarks of more traditional functional languages. The object-oriented nature of Smalltalk becomes most apparent when looking at higher-level architecture, where it becomes obvious that programs are constructed of interacting things using each others’ methods.

In fact, continuing along these lines, it occurs to me that many systems seem to tend towards a similar design: functional programming at the small scale, object-oriented patterns at a larger scale. Quite aside from Smalltalk, this also arises in Haskell, with various effect systems (e.g. MTL) providing the statefulness, encapsulation and late-binding which in other languages is encoded in dedicated OOP syntax. On the other hand, I have less experience outside Haskell (I am but a mere hobbyist programmer), so I don’t really know how well this theory holds up elsewhere.
I'm still wondering whether the invasion was delayed into late February for concerns about omikron covid-19 rendering the army even less effective. I haven't heard that discussed but it seems like a plausible concern.
one might say that a great poet using only a few words might capture a landscape better than a painting, but if our culture drifts toward a visual one where poetry is no longer understood we cannot say that the medium itself degraded.

That has little to do with the medium. If the painter takes as much effort as the poet, and the viewer as much time and effort as the reader, just as much information and emotion can be gleaned from the painting as the poem.

One of the reasons why MIT has the reputation it has, is because MIT admitted lots of smart Jewish students who couldn't get into Harvard... because they were Jewish. (Keeping the Jews out was once largely the point behind Harvard's selective admissions process.)

If, today, Harvard is keeping Asians out, it means more smart, eager Asian students to be recruited by other universities, which just might rise in status for admitting those students.
Agreed, given that the SAFE originated from YC, and apparently as a mechanism for easy financing to be used by startups. It would be interesting to hear their take on why a time limit for wiring of funds wasn't included, and also what their interpretation of this would be.

Of course with all of the normal, this is our opinion, but you should still ask your lawyer, etc disclosures. Having a shared understanding given the popularity of the SAFE's paperwork would be good for all founders who are using it or considering using it.
It's an inside joke, industry circle jerk, trope, whatever you want to call it.

That phrase or variations thereof dates to the soviet afghan war and is a general reference to the futility of trying to beat an insurgency of people who are sufficiently dedicated to their cause.

> "What about Iraq and Afghanistan" is literally reasoning Vladimir Putin is using to invade Ukraine.

Why wouldn't he? The US provided him with a perfect template to justify his invasion.

People often forget that the consequences of current actions extend far into the future.

The current Ukraine-Russia conflict that will result in the re-militarization of Germany as well as the Chinese threat that led to the same thing happening in Japan will have similar consequences decades from now.[1]

A transnational corporation isn't an oligarchy.

(Nor are they "oligarchs", almost by definition, though you could make the argument that the world is heading slowly towards global oligarchy of a Rollerball type)

An oligarchy is a system of government where very few, usually extremely wealthy people control the system (and where wealth is acquired through proximity to power).

The US, even with all its political dark money problems, is not an oligarchy.

(Russia is not an oligarchy anymore either; it's an "auto-kleptocracy" of sorts. But the prior oligarchs exist, in no small part as proxies for kleptocratic wealth, either within Russia or in the diaspora.)
Having been in a similar situation personally, I'd suggest not doing the most pragmatic thing possible which is what I chose. That money will mean nothing in 20 years, but what you choose to do now will. Plan an adventure, take a chance, go somewhere you never pictured yourself.

Ask any older guy, they'll either say they wished they had-- or they'll have great stories from when they did.
Well, you are not wrong to some extent. Even the mainstream media's 'blue eyes and blond hair' bias are playing into Putin's weak excuse to invade - making the media look like white supremacists. [0]

Just how they think wars cannot happen anywhere in the world and now they have been revealed to be and admitted white supremacists themselves on TV is just beyond me.

I'd say they are competing to be a true neo-Nazi.

I never understood how they could really work, and I guess the rest of the world eventually more or less decided the same thing.

(note: I realize some things I've named are not things a PA would do)

A good PA, the type who can read your mind, would
also be making really good money.

Yeah, absolutely. I don't have personal experience with PAs as I don't have the money or stature. But at a minimum, somebody who could serve as a decent PA would need to be intelligent, professional, and have a pretty keen sense of empathy/intuition. That kind of person will have a lot of doors open to them in life, and they're not going to be somebody's PA for peanuts.

There's dedicated services for almost everything these days

It seems to me that one of the values of a good PA is developing a long-term rapport, something like a true partnership. I feel like most of these services you mention would be missing that aspect. Does that seem accurate? I'd sure like to be wrong.
Ukraine has a neonazi problem that has been thoroughly analyzed and presented in the West. That's not exactly news.

However (and that's a big however) majority of Ukranians are not neonazis. And their political leadership is certainly not neonazis with Zelensky being a Jew. That kinda puts the 'ol Soviet playbook about "liberating people from neonazis" that's being used by Putin in a weird light. Maybe he's going to liberate USA next, because you know, KKK?

"Do these Asian students have an unfair advantage because their affluent parents can afford to pay for expensive test prep, as Mayor de Blasio has suggested? At Stuyvesant, as critics of the de Blasio plan have pointed out, 46 percent of students qualify for free or subsidized lunches, a common measure of very modest financial circumstances. Many of the Asian families whose children go to Stuyvesant and the other specialized schools are poor. Many of them are immigrants, or the first people in their families to be born in the United States. Many of them live in households where English isn't spoken. They are not children of privilege gaming the system, but newcomers working to realize the American dream.

...

But in addition to pushing their children, China- and Korean-born parents, according to the "tiger mom" theory, sacrifice their own immediate needs to provide their kids with the resources they need to succeed."
> my suggestion doesn't indicate the overthrower will have the right to become the new dictator.

Rights have little to do with what happens in practice.
Oh, we had more than one scandal with neo-Nazis in the Armed Forces. One officer, who was flagged due to his master thesis by the French as a Nazi, posed as a refugee from Syria and tried to kill some politicians and blame it on refugees. One unit of the KSK was dissolved after some very Nazi-themed parties. One of their NCOs was found to have an underground depot of weapons and ammo in his garden.

And I could go on and on.

EDIT: In the official history of the Bundeswehr, neither the 3. Reich and the Wehrmacht nor the GDR does exist. Which is such a wasted opportunity to teach soldiers about the risk of serving oppressive regimes, facilitating genocide and not standing up for democracy. Anecdotally, I once passed their Officer Candidate Assessment center. In the welcome speech, an Air Force Major directly said something along the lines of "people with Antifa stickers on their bags can just drop out right away. You are not welcome". I kept my mouth shut, I did drop out after successfully passing due to other reasons, but it struck me as strange that, of all the armed forces, anti-fascists should be welcome in the German ones.

And, again, the Russians themselves proved this in 1991.
When peace is a possibility all deaths in war are "unnecessary".

But I think your question is really about the asymmetry and apparent
hypocrisy of sanctions.

Sanctions run both ways so they require a power relationship to make
sense.

If one guy whose ball it is, decides the game is unfair he can
"sanction" the other 10 players by taking his ball home. If I sanction
you by not coming to your party, it's probably me who loses out by
cutting off my nose to spite my face.

Iraq II was s shitshow, utterly unfair and a result of the most awful
foreign policy. But the USA has more to _offer_ the world, so it made
no sense for international sanctions. Much as I like Russians as
people, I'm quite good for vodka right now thank you. We will take a
hit in fuel prices next winter for sure. Putin created an oligarchy
that turned Russia into a relatively unproductive country unless you're
in the luxury yacht or novelty poisons business.

Why Westerners have so much taste for Russian state propaganda?
If something is “logical”, doesn’t mean that it is true.
Russia has tried to subdue Ukraine since Putin came to power, courting Ukrainian political parties at least since 2002. When “soft” approach failed miserably in 2014, he went for military interventions.
It doesn’t matter what West was doing at the time, picturing every political development in Ukraine as a result of Western interference is really it’s own way of saying - “Ukrainians are stupid and all their political life is just a proxy for competing foreign powers”

You could use this exact statement to justify what Russia is doing right now, if NATO is the bully. And if we look at recent history, we definitely know that NATO behaves as a bully when things don't go the way they planned.
You obviously may do as you wish, but it seems awkward to be having discussions about Ukraine on this site but not have discussions about what many see as a similar situation involving the US in the past.
