> Talk of Ukraine joining NATO or the EU was significantly influenced by Russia's invasion of Crimea

It was long before that. Ukraine was practically pushed towards joining NATO during Bush Administration using any "soft" means possible.

Euromaidan (which the US had actively engaged in) also happened before Crimea, not after.

> deliberately using illegal munitions on civilian targets

Any solid source to that? Doesn't seem like there is any possible reason for that, other than completely demonizing someone's image.
I use it only for reading PDFs, annotating them, writing notes and reading newspapers - for that it's a pretty good device. There might be some warts in a bit non-standard Android interface and also MS Office doesn't work without license (13" is too large for free versions), but overall I am happy.
A lot of the IR comes from expanding huge stacks of generic functions. I don't think the issue can't be neatly partitioned up like that.

>There is a tendency in the West to view all minorities as somehow being the same.

I think it's because the news and the politicians view them in categories of demographic, then report on that demographic. I've lived in the South and always think it's funny when people say they should "punish the South," by withholding funds for whatever reason, apparently not realizing the South has the largest Black population in the US by far. Of course if funds are ever withheld, that large black population would also be punished, because they are also southerners. This is pertinent because southerners and blacks are pretty large minority demographics in the US that politicians try to garner favor with.

Societies are complex. It seems like a lot of people want to blurt out the first simple answer that comes out of their noggin.
And they pretty much use VPNs or burner phones so that's probably a dead end anyway.

>>>Always a good plan, I highly recommend it. I think I will do the same. Treasure your loved ones, even when times are good it can change suddenly.

Absolutely. Now, I hope this does not come across as trite but I lost my mum to cancer in 1997. I was 27 at the time. It was hard, very hard as you'd expect. Time does heal but it takes a lot of time. I can still call my mum and she sometimes responds. Not literally - that's mad. I can still remember her values and guidance.

That won't be same for everyone because loss is personal and so is all experience. I've buried (in the loss sense, not mass murderer sense) quite a lot of relos and it is hard and part of life.

Whatever happens, you can always call your mum and she'll always be there in some way.

Poland is also a good reference point for the argument you're making. They had a long lasting resistance movement, hundreds of thousands of diehard fighters. Yet it had to wait until 1989 for any sort of independence. As for material support, it assumes both ability and willingness on the part of sympathizers. The ability might be gone were the Baltics or Finland be invaded, and the willingness might vanish when the war takes a sufficiently heavy toll.

I also went to university in the 1990s, at McGill in Montreal, and we also had labs full of different architectures/vendors' workstations -- Sparc lab, Alpha lab, NeXT lab, RS6000 lab (with AIX), and a brand-new Linux lab, but that clearly that wasn't going to go anywhere.

There's a huge language / culture divide in India and yes managers of a certain culture can hire reports of their culture to be their yes-men but it's not exactly based on caste.

It's effectively a French guy hiring another french guy or a German guy stacking their team with other Germans. It's a bit more complicated than that because if you look at things like power distance index (PDI), India measures way higher in the chart than any western country (i.e., culturally Indians are more accepting of hierarchy than their western counterparts, so an Indian subordinate is more deferential to their boss than an American one for example)
This took me a surprisingly long time to accept even though it seems intuitive based on the monitor example.

After thinking about it for a while I understand it now. The inverse-square law applies to a point source. As you move further away the intensity drops off for each point, but the points get closer together in your field of view to compensate.

One weird thing is that many of the stars in the sky would be as bright or brighter than the Sun, but their "disc" is just so tiny that we perceive it as being dim.
I'm not Indian, but I'd like to know how to be more sensitive to this kind of discrimination. What should I be looking out for?
indeed.. I think there is a chance Europe will offer air support in Ukraine, and get drawn into this conflict, and thus be at war with Russia. which will mean EU, USA, UK, CAN, AUS .. will be at war with Russia. ie. WWIII.

I see the attack on Ukraine as an existential threat to the West as a whole - and Im probably not the only one asking if maybe its worth risking nuclear conflict. Can we trust Putin with a nuclear arsenal in any case, even if he withdraws ?
After WW2, Ukrainian partisans fought on until the late forties – without the foreign aid that be expected this time.
Any action or reaction (including no reaction) could lead to MAD depending on how you see it. Russia has seen fit to escalate significantly despite basically no change in international posture towards Russia since 2014.

Economic actions can be reversed much more easily than military action. Sanctions and frozen accounts have an undo button. Dead people and destroyed cities cannot be undone.

I see economic action as the one most likely to have immediate effects internal to Russia that would undermine support for the war rather than bolster it.
The problem is you can dump anything that doesn't meet your initial post into the 'exceptional circumstances' bucket.

For other examples from my life, my being female and homosexual aren't really issues now, but my femaleness made my stepmother disapprove of my tech interests, and my father started pressuring me to give it up as a teenager because she was more important to him. I also don't have to worry about having the crap beaten out of me anymore for being a dyke, but 15-20 years ago when I was making my career and educational decisions, I was pretty restricted in where I felt safe living.

I lucked out and have 'benign' MS, so the MS is less of an ongoing problem than the Brazilian (in the Terry Gilliamesque sense) system we have in this country for health care. My meds cost 300k+/yr for life; health insurance and care dictate a LOT of my decisions. But it blows up a lot of conventional advice. Try making 'responsible' saving/retirement planning decisions when you have no idea how long you'll be able to work.

And that's why I'm pretty sympathetic to people who are affected by circumstances beyond their control: You never know when it's going to be your turn. It benefits all of us to extend grace, lest we be the the one penniless in a hospital bed in the future.
> Oh, please, let's not start blaming most Russians.

Any regime can only stay in power as long as it has the support, active or passive, of a majority of its people. (That's why the German people was held collectively responsible for having abided the Nazi regime, and had to go through collective de-Nazification after WW2.) The fact that, with the exception of short periods of anarchy (most recently: the 1990s), Russia has had authoritarian-to-dictatorial regimes since... Well, since about forever, means that the Russian people has been condoning authoritarian-to-dictatorial regimes since about forever.

High time for a change in that, isn't it? And whom should that be up to... If not the Russian people?

There's a lot of peer pressure among kids to play certain games. I bought a Nintendo Switch for my kids, and they certainly love the games, but a lot of their friends play games like Clash Royale together. Games like this are full of in-app purchases to be a better player. So obviously, they ask if they can play these kinds of games. For the moment, they're still satisfied playing on their Switch, but once they get their own phones I guess I won't be able to control what they do any longer.

No I know enough to know about the separatist regions, if not by propaganda then by actual action because western governments have begun to scrutinize business dealings with entities in those separatist regions, not just Russia. If everybody had to be actual experts in something before commenting on it here, there would be zero comments about any Russia/Ukraine story.

Aside from that It's extremely difficult to get reliable information from any source I have found about the details of the situation. I've not seen anything that is contrary to what I said though. Maybe you can enlighten me.
> I see no mention of numbers aside from fractions in my comment. This is truly jumping the shark in order to form an argument.

I wasn't talking about you, I was speaking in generic terms to make an example.

> What a person's responsibilities to their family are does not equate to not being "cut out for the risk-taking,"

I think you've missed the point. Nobody here is saying that founders need to neglect their families or whatever. If the startup was trying to pay you a number so low that you couldn't make ends meet, then that's a problem with the startup.

> I personally find the unicorn startup path distasteful and disingenuous, as there's such an incredible rate of failure.

I think it's pretty clear that you're not a good match for startups. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with that. However, it doesn't make sense to blame the startup founder for (presumably, impossible to say without numbers) having standard startup expectations or startups for being risky in general.

If you don't like startups and you value immediate compensation above all else, that's fine! Nothing wrong with that! You're just not a good match for a startup co-founder position.

That said, the founder's primary compensation is in the equity. Expecting cash compensation to match big companies is a no-go for early stage founders.
16" MBP with M1 Max is the best performing Apple computer available, according to GeekBench. Some Mac Pro configurations outperform on multi-core benchmarks, but those start at $6,500 for rack mounted configurations.

I am a non-white citizen of Russia through a rather bizarre family history.

My parents changed my, and their names, and surname to Slavic sounding for reasons you can understand. Out of many, lower risk of being drafted (being non-white, and living in far-east increases likelihood of draft 10x,) ease of getting into a good school, or university for me, and simply lower chances of getting into random troubles with officials.

At the same time, knowing this, I am as much as discomforted by practice of meritless "diversity hire" just for the sake of putting people of colour to pass the diversity checkbox.

Pretending to play a role of "smart south Asian" while yes-manning, and knowing you being a decoration is as bad as discrimination, if not worse.

What nations should be the model for such transitions?
Problem is, there aren't many alternatives... at least not yet. Wind and solar have proven to be not as reliable as nuclear, and in recent decades the EU has shut down most of their nuclear energy sources. BTW, nuclear is a fairly green source of energy, minus the meltdowns, accidents, and waste -- which to my understanding operators have become better at dealing with.
