> Putin wanted this war

Yes.

> proactively

No. He could have done this any time he wanted over the last 8 years. So why now? I don't know what, but some thing has changed in the strategic calculus after the Trump administration went out. That is when he wrote about the historical unity of the Rus peoples. And everything else follows from there.

> there is only reaction from the other side.

They lit the fuse with the eastward expansion of NATO and the attempts to place ABMs close to Russia back in the 2000s. It is not as if Russia invaded some country in Africa or South America. It has invaded a neighbor, a former Soviet state for reasons of national security.
Looks very cool! Thanks for sharing Ben. Wish I had this when we were building caffei.net
> their touch gesture activated erasing is kind of janky and inconsistent

Could you expand upon what you mean by janky? My supernote is arriving soon and in my hours I spent reading and watching reviews the gesture erasing was consistently praised.
The hard feelings only come if there was already a veil of equal pay. No one in finance or sales balks at coworkers earning much more than others, because the expectation is that individuals have different market prices.

If Agatha and George are unhappy they are earning less than others, then they are free to go find another job. When, and if they cannot, they will quickly learn to be happy with the maximum they can get, even if someone else is earning more. Just like they already are happy with sports and movie stars earning more.
> The answer is obvious: get rid of sales taxes.

You do know that neither merchants nor folks writing tax or sales software can "get rid of sales taxes", right?

"Our software doesn't handle that case" isn't a defense against a tax evasion charge.

Neither is "I forgot" or "Excuse me", despite what Steve Martin said.

https://snltranscripts.jt.org/77/77imono.phtml

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. “Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?” Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!” How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I forgot”? Let’s say you’re on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, “I forgot armed robbery was illegal.” Let’s suppose he says back to you, “You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, ‘I forgot’?” Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!“
Graviton2 is generally available and depending on your codebase and dependencies can be a drop-in replacement. I was amazed at the breadth of ARM docker images that exist for common use cases.
I mean... Italy carved out exceptions for luxury goods.

People will be easily manipulated and will trade a life of child in the next city for an extra $1 in their pocket.

It's morbid, but constant pressure is the only way.
For the reference, it seems that the most publicized attempts on compressing the Wordle dictionary is the Game Boy Wordle clone [1]. There are also several other independent attempts, including the golf.horse Kolmogorov complexity competition [2] (where my entry is incidentally at the first place ;-).

Plenty of multi-threading in browsers, but multi-threaded layout is rare, as I understand it. Mozilla made an attempt with Servo, but their first attempt got too complicated and they dropped Servo before the second attempt got anywhere ( https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Layout-2020 ).

Given Flow isn't trying to support _everything_ , perhaps they made the task easier by ignoring the complex bits.
Yet the US has been luke warm on supporting Europe militarily in recent years and European defence spending has plummeted. I don’t buy this idea that it is the West’s fault at all.
> Training data is easy to find.

Got a good chuckle from that, I did! :D
INTEL used to clip leads on certain procesor chips to produce different models... I think 80386-SX vs 80386-DX. How is this different than software companies unlocking codepaths that provide extra functionality? Intellectual property can be packaged together, but doesn't mean you get everything unless you paid for everything. MS Office software cds include all their products. You pay for a license to use what you need.

These greedy hacker thieves feel entitled to everything whether they pay for it or not. Would serve them right if NVDIA had a way to make their graphics boards short out and burn if found to be part of the hackers group.
Yes kind of, but it's a matrix of variables and level is only one column. Breadth and depth of technology is also a factor. For example, a hastily written description:

Looking for smart, motivated people of varying skill levels and expertise who want to make an actual difference in the world using technology to improve lives. Technologies particularly desired are typescript, react, php, laravel, elixir, kubernetes app dev, kubernetes infra (especially linkerd, logging, monitoring), terraform, cloud infra, ansible, web app security, infra security, experience with SOC2 requirements. Prefer senior candidates but open to less experienced but motivated people.

If we get a seasoned pro with experience in many of those, it could mean we only have to hire one or two people and the budget can go to salary. If we have to hire 4 to 5 new grads and train them, there's a whole lot less available for salary.
I train periodically for a small subset of medical response skills, but I'm not dedicating the kind of time to it that would be required to keep the license up to date.

And I would hardly assume "no experience"; though I've not done paid paramedic duties, I have been the first person or persons on the scene of multiple vehicular accidents and other trauma events, and able to positively contribute to keeping people alive and stable until FD or medics arrive. If I see something bad happen, I stop to help, because that was what I was trained to do, and because it is the right thing to do.

We just need to be careful that this unquantifiable, subjective rating doesn't include biases.
Canada too. Here in Waterloo Region we have a particularly goofy situation where I believe a number of prominent public parks were formed after the land was donated in the early 20th century by wealthy local industrialists, with the single eternal proviso that there had to always be a functional baseball diamond on the property.

I'm sure this made sense at the time, but it's super frustrating now living in these neighbourhoods where there's a big park with vast green space that is mostly unused, and the amenities people actually want and use (tennis courts, playground, community garden, skate park, hangout space) shunted to the very edges of the space, and no room for potential alternative uses such as a soccer pitch.
MLB will never make structural reforms without Congress forcing the issue. The labor issues always come down to mental gymnastics one must do to justify and work around the government granted monopoly the major sports leagues have (de jure for MLB, de facto for the rest). The leagues should be structured much more similarly to European Football with relegation, promotion and league cups. That structure eliminates tanking, salary issues, service time and arbitration, deflates some of the power of TV and marketing budgets, and a whole host of other issues. It also gives smaller American cities a shot at seeing major league teams play locally, which for baseball at least, seems like a no brainer thing that should happen.

If you are going to restructure the leagues, it should be done geographically - West, Southeast/MidAtlantic, Great Lakes and East. With the elimination of the DH, it makes exactly no sense for LA teams to each play 50+ east coast games and only 6 against each other. That would also allow for some expansion as cities like Nashville, Portland and SLC could easily fill out some of the regions.
It’s probably more accurate to say something like “NA sports rewards losing after a certain threshold of mediocrity”, but you make a good point. The division of talent tends toward the extremes.
I think the last point in the article is super interesting and under-discussed here - now that academics and engineers have a wealth of free core IP, will we see more open development in the EDA space? Yosys and the ecosystem around it certainly points this direction, but there's a LOT to the EDA space.

Are universities pursuing academic EDA development, too?
There are a few a real problems with encrypted email.

Spam detection is much more effective when you have access to the plain text of email as you can both build out better models of "this is spam" based on your entire customer base marking things that you miss or get wrong.

You also get to more trivially go "oh this email is only (say) 60% likely to be spam, but it was also sent to 200k people who have no relationship, so maybe it's closer to 90% spam".

The real killer is financial, all the "free" mail providers are making money from hosting your email. Gmail is especially egregious in this regard, and scans the content of inherently private communication in order to build out it the google surveillance infrastructure. Gmail's scanning is why companies like amazon no longer include actual order information in the emails that they send out.

A true E2E mail system (in which email was decrypted on the client side), would run counter to the googles goals for gmail.

Its true too of jobs. Everyone sees when someone gets a job but its much harder to know if someone effortlessly switched or spent years failing interviews every week. My last job hunt took 6 months and had dozens of failures. I'm still not sure if its normal or I'm below average quality.

The have the highest average attendance in baseball by a significant margin.

In previous eras pay was highly correlated with the ability to project force, since keeping those parties happy was what kept a ruler in power. Given that Putin rules like a petty feudal lord I imagine a similar principle holds here.

If police stop getting paid, while having to battle thousands of protesters each day, I expect their loyalty to change very quickly.
I lived in south east Idaho during some of my high school years and worked for a local potato farmer. During the fall break, I would work 18 hours a day driving potato trucks, and pulling dirt clods from conveyor belts.

If the work was not done by the end of the break, you could get excused from school for as long as needed to finish. Kind of weird priorities for the area if you ask me.

And yes, it was just as glamorous as it sounds.
> In Canada, we just went through a 10-day period where, in an afternoon, the government casually made it retroactively illegal to have supported a peaceful cause -- and began locking up peaceful, law-abiding citizens' bank accounts.

My understanding is that those citizens were using their money to support people who were intentionally blocking one of the main functions of a national government (regulating international trade).

> In Russia, citizens have been instantly locked out of international financial transactions, and non-local currencies have become unavailable. It is likely that further, dramatic interventions in ingress/egress of wealth are forthcoming.

Russians have no right to perform transactions using US Dollars, and as an American citizen I have no right to perform transactions in Rubles. Our governments regulate that (again, international trade).

> In China, random decisions regarding the legality of Cryptocurrencies are regularly enacted. Huge businesses doing legal, ethical mining are one day accepted, and the next -- made illegal.

In China, many government decisions are like that. Like when they overnight decided to restrict vehicle access to Beijing to try to reduce pollution leading up to the 2008 Olympics. I doubt actions like these come as a surprise to Chinese citizens. And, again, it's largely related to international trade.

In our modern world of nation states, the individual citizen does not have unfettered access to all the world markets. Our governments place restrictions on trade, and they will do the same with cryptocurrency. You can try to evade it, either through bitcoin or gold bullion, but it is not your right.

When discussing with my students the pros and cons of different political enterprises, I would often bring up the observation that authoritarian technocratic systems can indeed benefit from focus. (see: China’s rapid infrastructure progress, state backed technology capture, etc.)

I then immediately point out downside: the increased risk of horribly bad decisions. These occur because a monoculture tends to form and such decisions are less likely in the painfully slow framework of democracy where everyone is ’allowed’ to voice their concerns (see: Parks and Rec).

Putin’s incredibly poor decision completely negates (and then some) the gains made over the past many years.

“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” – Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
"Covid vaccine immunity" is a misnomer. The "vaccine" does not provide immunity to the virus, but claims to provide a reduction in severity of symptoms. The mRNA shots are prophylactic shots, but have been called vaccines to encourage people to take them.

If the "vaccine" provided immunity, it wouldn't drop off after 4-5 months. The question now is, how often do you need to be redosed? If you got a booster shot in November, it's almost time for your 4th shot. Thanks, but I'll take my chances until long-term safety data has been made publicly available.
I think it would be a major selling point for state adoption.

Cracking down on cash based tax evasion is often a major benefit touted when economies look to move to digital currencies, and most digital solutions to this problem "solve" it by throwing away anonymity. I most often see cashless solutions presented as a choice between do you want this system to be rampant with tax evasion and illicit activities but anonymous like bitcoin, or do you want someone keeping full plaintext records on every party in every transaction down to their street address and IP where the transaction was made like paypal.

cmix version 19 [1] compressed the wordle wordlist (using the golf.horse dataset [2] as the canonical version) into 9,714 bytes in about three minutes and ~15 GB of memory. This obviously excludes the decompressor size; my golf.horse entry corresponds to the information entropy of at most 11.7 KB though.

> non-Fiat "stablecoin"

has anyone published a whitepaper / theory describing how this might be possible?

A stablecoin has to be denominated in something -- that's what it's stable in.

Is that even useful? It would have to be a commodity with extremely stable (everywhere in the world) non-zero price in "real" terms. Potatocoin? Sandcoin?
MyKi password manager is being discontinued on April 10
vfork() is still evil
So this is not a 0-1 game. Most of the risk in a startup (if you dont take VC) is getting to 5K MRR - 10K MRR. Once there, the existential risk should be reduced to zero.

If you take VC, than there is always an existential risk, since you are relying on new money being available for the next round.

Also, you diversify in the stock market mainly due to information uncertainty. I.e. you do not have any control on different risks (economy, company corruption, etc.).

However, in a startup you have much more control on the company future (again, if you DONT take VC money).

If you take VC money, than the company is basically a privately traded company, and you assume all the risks of a public company.

These are good examples of crypto tech trying to find a problem it can solve.

There are much more sustainable ways to deal with situations like the ones you quote… none of which require a complicated use case misusing technology to create the illusion of independence or decentralization.

For example, the peaceful cause you’re mentioning can be mitigated by providing better education and access to information for people in underdeveloped regions (e.g., clearly misunderstanding how medicine works or how to stage a peaceful protest).
Yes for real salary ranges with detailed parts like base, bonus, equity and type of contract, but hard NO for the broad ranges I can see everywhere.

In my country (Poland) it's not an unusual thing to hear after the interview that the salary from the posting is with some vague bonus which "nobody ever seen".

I don't want to waste my time (hours or sometimes even days/weeks) with some convoluted multipart interviews and offline "coding exercises" only to hear that I would get just a lower/small part of the range which nobody ever gets from the start as they're there only to encourage you to apply.
