All IMHO:

The likelihood is that the EU and US will not directly intervene in Ukraine much like we didn't for the last invasions of Crimea and Georgia. Because of the history of the country and it's importance in the world landscape, it's difficult to escalate to a point of a nuclear conflict.

Personally, I would be more worried about Taiwan. Taiwan is similar in that they also maintain their independence from the other country (in this case China), yet (I feel) the world would be willing to go to war over controlling interest in this country, or, at least keeping it independent and neutral. Much of the world's most high tech, complex and expensive chips come from Taiwan and if China or another country would invade this would send shockwaves across the world as everything now is technology that requires many many chips. A country such as the US can't magically create a "fab" without years, if not decades of time investing in on the infrastructure and processes needed to fabricate these highly complex chips.

Historically, hot wars are often about power. This could be due to energy (such as oil and natural gas supplies) but the new power-base is technology. You control the chips that everyone needs, you control the world. Same goes with many other things like the software too but that's another topic.

Here's a good read on the subject: https://time.com/6102879/semiconductor-chip-shortage-tsmc/
Resonate is nice and I like the fact that it's a co-op, but there is something missing that was present on band-camp, unless I missed it: the possibility to pay for real albums that will be shipped to you, or for you to download the .flac or .mp3 files to add to your library.

It's actually possible to download the files but the price is fixed and it seems to be track by track.

So it looks more like a replacement for Spotify to me.
What's even strange is the NFTs don't keep a checksum in the blockchain, so anyone hosting the content could change it whenever they want and the NFT is none the wiser. Moxie even wrote an example that would show different images depending who asked. See https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html

After a decade of practice I basically vividly hallucinate if I let myself when I meditate. Focus is more useful, but the hallucinations are very interesting/calming too.

I'm lucky to have been born naturally resilient to mental damage, but I know from (friends') experience that when you're genetically predisposed to schizophrenia, you're SOL. I've definitely felt my sanity slip at times or delusions take hold, but eventually my brain would reset to the status quo.

The silver lining is: unless you're willing to devote a large amount of your attention and life to this, you're unlikely to ever experience these kind of effects. I know people who practice for years and experience nothing.
Are you saying that the current program lets them avoid learning those things, or that they should be allowed to avoid learning them?

I'm not sure I've seen a calculus course that skipped those (granted, it's been more than a decade since I looked at calculus courses). They certainly seem to still be within the remit of the FE - ECE exam.

Cheers for the heads-up on the typo. The diagram's an SVG, with the labels being in plain ASCII. One keystroke is all it took indeed! :P

I actually do think this happens more in the YC startup school space. A lot of people who sign up for the cofounder matching are just looking to meet interesting people. I’ve personally gone out to play pool and eat lunch with a couple folks my roommate found via the platform.

My intention when using the term "indication" was not to say that it is a sufficient condition. In German I would have used the word "Hinweis", which has a connotation of vagueness. I was not aware that "indication" seems to be more like a synonym for "proof". Please take it to my credit that English is not my native language. What is the best word to use when something is to some degree an indication, but not strictly?

This view is a limitation of your understanding of Bitcoin.

A store is proximity plus curation. Of all the 985 possible car stereos you could possibly buy they have 12 that will serve a variety of needs while filtering out useless inferior or poorly prices options rather than you having to evaluate the a much broader selection of options. It's likely that your interests and the stores are somewhat aligned. At the front end there is a bunch of overpriced candy, soda, and magazines. Therein your interests aren't aligned. All of it is terrible for you and terribly priced. The entire section is designed to manipulate and harm in a small fashion all the people it is dealing with hopefully fairly in the other section. Consider programming vs ads same difference.

A store that lacks any direction, curation, and empathy is more like the front end or ad space than the body of the store or programming. It is not that they are focused on what they want to sell you of course they are. It's that they have put less thought in what they would want to buy if they put themselves in your place. An algorithm is a shit way to stock a store.
Aperture size has an effect on depth of field (the degree to which points that are out of focus are blurred). I think in practical cameras, aperture size isn't constant as you vary camera size, so that makes the scale relevant. But I'm not 100% sure how photography terminology like "stops" maps to the underlying geometry, so take this with a grain of salt.

My point was that other countries have reacted harshly when their borders are encroached upon... border security is a valid national concern.

This is the same concern Russia had re: NATO troops in Ukraine. It was repeatedly dismissed during the _years_ of negotiation leading up to now.

I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy in this view to better understand what happened objectively and how it could have been prevented. Not to take sides, as if my personal condemnation of Russia makes any difference to someone in Ukraine right now.

Being the main reserve currency (global reserves are ~60% USD, ~30% Euro and 9% GBP/JPY/CAD) also means local financial crises lead to dollar buying which then affects the price of USD and thus US imports and exports. This is in part why the US has had a policy of discouraging the USD's status as the sole reserve currency - global reserves used to be 80% or more USD.

Isn't that what everybody thought?

Didn't NATO also think that?

Does this simply remove the JavaScript or do something more clever? Because I think in the age of SPAs, the proper way to save "content pages" might be to execute the JavaScript once and serialize the resulting DOM back to HTML. I didn't find anything in the FAQ that explains if it does something like that.

Everyone knows Putin is a teetotaler.
Yes, that appears to be the growing consensus among experts.

But the reason for the "confusion" (the "stumped" in the title) is that Russia has not historically operated this way under Putin (though it did operate this way under his predecessor). Basically, nothing is happening the way it has happened before (under Putin), and this appears to be a "new normal" (under Putin).
> Right now West's response to Russian invasion is highly asymmetric - essentially sanctions vs missiles.

The impression I have thus far is that this is because

a) Russia has not invaded/declared war on "the West" in a meaningful way yet: it has invaded the Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO, the EU, or any other specific mutual defense pact with the rest of "the West".

b) Relevantly to this thread, Russia has not yet used any forms of warfare that truly cross the line into "mad dog that needs to be put down at all costs". The cluster bombs are pretty bad, yes, and reflect very badly on Russia, but they're still conventional munitions.

If Russia breaks out chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, the calculation on (b) changes. Doesn't automatically mean everyone's going to jump on them—I don't pretend to know how any given country would respond to that, even my own (the US). But it at least means they have to start rethinking whether (a) remains relevant to their decision not to get directly involved.
Chris here. Medicare is the current lightning rod, but in the US we have several federal health plans: 1. Medicare, 2. Medicaid, 3. Federal Employees Health Insurance Program, 4. Department of Defense / TriCare, 5. VA

Personally, I’d love to have what we had as kids in DoD. As a kid in a US-military household, I had the benefit of full healthcare and dental care and vision care. Our great healthcare was paid for by taxpayers who funded the DoD’s budget. Each child, irrespective of their parent’s income/rank/station/race, received great care. Personally, as a society, I wish we could all agree that every child and young adult should receive healthcare without obstacles or payment fears.

Lombok is indeed a band-aid that replaces IDE-autogenerated code, which in turn is a band-aid for language design choices on the one hand (e.g. equals and hashcode), and accepted Best Practices in Java world like setters/getters everywhere; for the latter, you can either do public final fields, just use public fields until you need an accessor method (java's refactorings are great), or on the other hand add language features like in C# and Scala where from a class consumer point of view, accessing a value or calling a setter/getter are the same.

That said, I did hear Java is getting value types soon, or something like that. A bit too little too late maybe, but welcome nevertheless.

If I had the choice I wouldn't use Java again; JVM is fine, but there's better languages for it than plain Java. Kotlin seems alright. Wouldn't use Scala again, that's a language for sadists.
It doesn't "prove" anything, but it's a data point, and quite a lot more thorough than your dismissive comment. If you want to make a well supported counter-argument, please be my guest. It's easy to criticize, it's harder to make a thoughtful argument.
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.”
SPAs exist for a reason. Same with SSR. Developer ergonomics play a bigger role than you think. And if you think that the choice is either SPA or SSR then you haven't been paying attention to recent developments in the frontend world.

Websockets+SSR (PhoenixJS) attempts to store state on the server rather than the client; in that way you can still have stateful interactions with minimal JS. NextJS does an amazing job patching the bridge between SPA+SSR by having the same codebase run on the backend and the frontend. What I would like to see more of from this industry is less "grass is greener on the other side" and the unification of a single tool that allows for the cross-collaboration of SPA + SSR without having two distinct codebases that one has to context-switch between.
I'll admit you have a point.

I didn't mean to come off as elitist, but I have never met anyone I'd trust to write a C program that didn't have big obvious bugs that didn't know how to cross compile/statically link a C executable. If you haven't, that means you haven't spent enough time actually coding to be able to feel safe about what you're writing. Which is fine. But then use a language you know or spend more time learning about your tools before complaining. C is simple, everything around it is difficult.

>That's quite the statement coming from one of Russia's biggest oligarch.

No, his statement clearly follows and enforces Putin's propaganda narrative of the separation between suffering people of Ukraine whom Russia supposedly came to "liberate" and the supposedly illegitimate "Hunta" government whom Russia is supposedly fighting.

Basically Abramovich managed to buy himself a grace period in England to be able to weasel out without devastating losses (and to save his bottom from the future war crimes trial). The guy in reality is total sh%t and is fully responsible for what happens in Ukraine like the rest of the Putin's oligarchs.
However, if you start something, I think that it is a good attitude to finish it

I 100% agree with this. I've just got a bit (maybe a lot) of chagrin towards the sometimes strident mentality that college is the only meaningful way an individual can prove they possess such a capable characteristic, or that completing college is an indicator that such a person will retain such a characteristic throughout their careers/lives.

It's useful as a snapshot of an individual's educational accomplishments for sure, and more power to them for that accomplishment, but I will always have a bit of reticence about the application of "has degree" past that.
