Your "only 3%" comment was replying to my argument that to compare Russia's suppression of all opposing speech to the US's voluntary support from the mainstream media is patently absurd. That the US had overwhelming voluntary support from its people isn't proof that I'm wrong, it's exactly my point.
Testing is a thing.
The question I always ask myself in these situations is: what am I optimizing for? Based on what you've shared, it sounds like you'd like to optimize for starting a family in the next 2 years. If that is true, you probably already know the answer to the question in your title.

One other thing: taking a break is not the same as giving up. I've tried and failed at multiple startups, taking jobs in between to rebuild my savings. There is always opportunity cost and risk involved in all that we do, you just have to learn to be comfortable with whatever decision you make.

> Should the global community have targeted all Americans for the actions of the Bush Presidency invading Iraq under false pretenses? Or how about Vietnam?

Wrong question. Whether they "should" in any moral sense is not a useful way to think about things because geopolitics isn't a morality play. Clearly effective sanctions against USA were a non-starter because it is too big and rich a country and does a lot of trade with the outside world.

> Realize that our next Iraq or Vietnam this new standard could be applied to us or any other country.

Nope. Effective sanctions won't happen against big powerful countries (or coalitions of countries, e.g. EU, NATO).
And for those of you willing to stick it out and help make change happen here, we are hopeful that our differentiated product, use of technology, and processes will stir dialog and stimulate change. There is a saying "eat the mammoth one bite at a time" or something like that - basically when a problem is so big the best you can do is take it in bite sizes pieces. We - by ourselves - cannot change how everyone gets access to healthcare. We can start small and build from there. Our objectives are achievable and objective in the near term, aspirational in the long term. Thanks for contributing your thoughts to the debate!
What are the real plans available to get abundant and cheap energy for the world, and why aren’t startups working on this?
Here's my version:

function pipe($callables) {
return array_reduce($callables, fn($carry, $callable) => call_user_func($callable, $carry));
}

Whenever a method merely calls other methods in sequence, returning the result of the last call, it's just too easy for me to simply use a pipe function. I guess it's mostly a matter of preference.

oho, slippery slope here. by this measure most media should be banned.
Where did you see it? I use uMatrix with JS off by default and that page appears very clean.
I WANNA. You bet on it.

But I need to install that stuff so I can run the integration, do the tests, see how they work, add a little code of it, etc.

For example, I need to install https://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=dbisam because just ONE of my customer use it.

Then I need to add ODBC to OSX.

Then I need to install FreePascal, and make some DLL on it so I can decode just ONE field that whole depend on the binary representation that exist there. More fun? That field is where is store the "price" of the product.

Why the heck that developers decide to dump unportable binary, from a certain version of FPC, on that field, hell I know...
For more aspects of this, Scott Manley talked extensively about how Russia's invasion of Ukraine will have a large affect on the industry as a whole: https://youtu.be/1V-lj-jCqe8

Edit: TL;DR off the top of my head:

- Lots of parts from Russia, some from Ukraine. Mostly in older designs that are planned to be phased out, but whose replacements aren't ready yet.
- Russia can't really take their part of the ISS. All of the systems for moving the modules have been disabled, and they don't have the system to self sustain. At most they could disconnect and de-orbit it, as just a middle finger to the West. They are actively using the ISS for science and selling tourist seats, so it's unlikely they will want to abandon it.
- Re-boosting the ISS is of notable but minor concern. Only Russia has the capability to do it right now. Another company is developing means to do so, but isn't ready yet. SpaceX's dragon could do it, but it would require a software update and the thrusters are poorly positioned so it'd be inefficient. However the ISS also has years before this would be a problem, so no major concern at this time, but developing the capability should be a top priority.
I guess the British did learn some things from the Romans.
Well, on the flipside, does this mean more money to US based launch companies?
Right. So in a hypothetical world where everybody can afford to buy a new a/c unit, the risk that millions will die in a heat wave is negligible. Down here in the real world, it's a distinct possibility.
That's only going to matter if they are buying outside stuff (like Oil). It does not matter to domestic market.
Betcha you'd be surprised to be around to find out, though.
Gas in European pipeline systems is measured in kWh (not in m³ or kg), because it's the energy in the gas that we're after. Hence the funny unit.
Hey, I absolutely feel this and it caused me multiple burnouts. It's hard to explain how compoundingly demoralising multiple 'failed' attempts at doing something are when you feel like you're putting in so much effort.

It's only my experience, but when I look back a lot of my effort was misdirected. It's very easy to feel like you're at 120% when you're focusing on what you know, but sometimes you need to shift the focus. I can't tell you whether the project you're working is worth continuing or whether there's money there, or whether you should continue it alone. I can tell you that I'm now working with 2 other founders and it's made me considerably happier than my solo efforts. There's always someone to talk to and whilst we still wear a lot of hats, we primarily concentrate on the bits we're good at and encourage each other to keep going.

I guess I'm saying - take a step back, maybe see if you can pull in help. You don't need to be happy all the time, but you do need to be content in your day to day (it's always going to be a struggle if you don't want to get up in the morning). If you're not there step back further and maybe see how a 'career' job works for you. Nothing is permanent, you can always step sideways, leave, or try something else until you figure out what works for you. Good luck!
Ukrainian Interns for Sales or Growth Marketing
Hello everyone,

I’m helping a university in Barcelona which is looking to place 37 Ukrainian students in internships.

We are going to provide SDR and growth marketing training through a partner, but I am looking for companies in need of SDRs and growth marketers.

These students will be trained and ready to contribute from day 1.

Ideally, this is a 6-month, paid internship which could lead to a full-time position.
We will handle the admin stuff to ease international hiring.

If you or someone you know could be interested, please DM, send me an email at pablo@inteliom.app or connect with me on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/pablomacias).

Looking forward to hearing from you!
> Have you considered for the innocent Russian people who doesn't agree with the war? What about their daily lives in Russia where they need to get driver's license online to be renewed but couldn't because their DMV website is inaccessible?

I assume that a Russian accessing a Russian website would be unaffected by any such measures.

Also, I wonder what backdoor facilities the NSA put into Apple and Android phones? The US would very much like to continue getting any such intelligence.
That's good, but also:

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from Israel, so fewer Palestinian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the US, so fewer Syrian children die

· We should put extra dollars not to buy goods from the UAE, so fewer Yemeni children die

· ...

I'm afraid I don't have so much money.
Russia has spent a decade crumbling online freedoms
Unfortunately, the joke misses (or misses me) a bit.

But it does seem like there is a critical distinction between 'this is not a pipe' and 'this pipe does not exist'.

The original targets the distinction between the image and the 'reality', the difference between the map and the territory and our linguistic/perceptual confusions as to such.

In this case however, this 'pipe' does exist. It can't be said to exists in terms of reference to an object outside of the image, but the image itself is as extant as any image. We could argue about issues of permanence---what happens when I turn my device off and the data representing such in memory and on the screen evaporates?, etc---but likewise the universe (at least according to current scientific understanding) is likely to 'evaporate', so in that regard the 'real' world is just as permanent as the image on a screen that is only a temporary electrical phenomena interacting with human perception.

Maybe I've missed something or am overthinking it.

(And yes, it's just a joke website, but if a joke can't lead one to spiraling into existential despair at the nature of existence, what's the point?)
> They’re not popular outside of Muslim-majority countries,

They are considered enough of a threat that places that like to claim they have freedom of speech have felt the need to actively suppress them, including an absolute majority of US states.
I want to. So much.
A great way to look at it. The overall number likely includes services, weapons and heavy machinery. That’s not what directly the day to day life.
Not difficult to guess that Russia's entire economy will be toast in a matter of weeks, regardless if the sanction stay how they are or become more strict. The supply chain disruption and knock-on effects must be enormous. Be it specialized software products for which there only exists a single supplier or even just x86 CPUs. (Intel/AMD don't export to Russia anymore)
I do use a password manager with a unique generated password for all my online accounts. I've checked my Gmail and Google account activity and everything looks ok. I do have Yubikey for Google MFA which I've been using for several years.
From what I've seen, across the industry, the folks who are burnt out are almost entirely individual contributors. You rarely see burnout in management, and it's typically in the form of folks who want to go back to being ICs/tried management and hated it.

I think companies really need to work on reducing or eliminating the amount of bullshit ICs have to deal with vs management (time tracking, status updates, on call, etc) or have management do the same amount of bullshit. Your boss may say they understand what you're going through, but they most likely do not have the same level of bullshit being asked of them on a daily basis. They can sit in meetings all day, miss deadlines, and no one knocks them on it like an IC where being a day late gets put on a PIP.

Let's cut off some of the western countries first then as well. US has actively destroyed/destabilized countries in the Middle East and South America to install a friendlier government. You've US who voted to invade Iraq based on a lie (along with UK), invaded Libya, bombed Syria, invaded Afghanistan among other things. You've Canada, US and other nations selling arms to Saudi Arabia that continue to bomb the fuck out of Yemen. You've Israel occupying Palestine. Let's cut all the countries off as well. Or are you implying that Russian invasion of Ukraine matter more than all these examples, and if you do so, I wonder why that is? (fyi, it's a rhetorical question, I know why that is)
My guess would be that Asians are over-represented due mostly to cultural differences pertaining to parental expectations.

But that also hints a problem, albeit not one caused by the admissions process. The problem might just be "some parents suck", but I'd hope we can mitigate that impact somehow. Students underachieving (relatively) solely because their parents are mediocre (or worse) isn't ideal.

The solution to this might be enhancing primary school and related enrichment so kids with crap parents can also succeed. But that doesn't mean the admissions process isn't contributing by ignoring other measures of student potential.
As always with radio, it's mostly about unobstructed line of sight and the gain in your antenna system.

We're still in communication with Voyager 1, which is operating on a grand total of about 20W of RF power; and is currently about 14.5 billion miles away.
I said:

> I don't really understand the need

you said:

> you seem to believe that I should want what you want

There's a disconnect there where you're reading a lot into what I said.

Granted, my comment was terse.

Here's more detail of what I was thinking when I wrote that:

"""

People (myself included) fantasize about living all over the place.

But, since I (a person in my late 20s) have learned more about myself, I've started to appreciate simplicity, continuity, and roots (which I had to work really hard to create, after a very complex personal history that I won't get into here).

Because I have experienced this personal shift and really valued it, I've started to think that the desire to live in many different places is mostly mimetic, and that if I pursued this, I would not be able to have the things that I have achieved in the last 5 years.

Therefore I don't understand why this notion is so widespread or how it got into my head (but it's probably through mimesis of the novel).

"""

By all means, you do you. I'm jealous that you have found something that is really working out for you, and my comments are coming from a place of curiousity and the need to work out what I desire. I'm sorry to have failed to come across in any other way.
The most helpful approach for me has been to write up my own thinking and have it reviewed by others. Having ideas about how to think is nowhere near as useful as practice and feedback.

Writing up our thought process is also very helpful for getting buy-in from others—turning personal success/failure into group success/failure.
It's really insane if you need to hire a PI to find out what you did wrong.
That makes more sense. I get that it is mostly a states rights issue, but I have always thought that Police crime should be handled by FBI + Federal courts.
Look, I obviously don't know the specifics but I think you swung too far on the other side and also just stitching together existing components. A single box running cron is quick and easy but I would be wary of hinging anything non-dev facing on that.

* You can't fearlessly patch the cron box without knowing when the jobs run, I don't want any special cases. Also how would I even know when you have jobs scheduled looking at a fleet -- read your out of date docs? Ew no. So a messaging system, guess the devs were already familiar with Kafka, is necessary to process the jobs across multiple nodes.

* Individual nodes are unreliable and you don't have any durable persistent storage. Most people don't like storing data in Kafka even though it's possible so they went with a database.

* Cron doesn't have any mechanism to give you a history of jobs that isn't built into your script or parsing logs. Ditto with failure notifications. You also can't reprocess failed jobs except manually. Guess you just wait another 4 hours?

* You now also can't duplicate the server because they're both going to try and do the export every 4 hours and step on one another. Woop, you made a system where an assumed safe operation "adding something" breaks stuff.

This kind of thing is a nightmare if you already have queues and a database because why would you stand up another thing but if you had none of that to begin with then yeah... makes total sense.

Like this is the reality of ops and running something "production ready" it's a lot of big ole complex HA platform so that you can run your 5 lines of code and not have to worry about any of the hard problems like availability, retrying, resource contention, timing, data loss, locking.
What about the West sanctioning Russia makes blocking access to information more favorable to you and your friends?
It's a bit complex. Most of the big factories for example that makes shoes in Vietnam are Chinese owned -- and that makes Taiwanese manufacturers like Freetrend (makes Nike and so on) small fish even. As for your other point -- you're right -- but also consider that the government and the people are probably differently minded on this.

More importantly (IMO) I support ICANN. If they think it makes sense to cut off Russia from the Internet, I trust them. They don't think it makes sense, so I trust them.

Do I think they made the right call? Yeah, but I'm a dum dum on the Internet who has thought about this for all of 5 minutes. There might be some better form of this argument that's more nuanced than I have time to understand, so I want to be able to leave it up to ICANN to figure stuff out like this and do what's best.
The title is misleading.

The request wasn't to cut off Russia from the net.

It was to let .ru domains expire, and not issue SSL certificates for them. It would only affect .ru and .рф websites.

Russians would still be able to get their news from bbc.com — but maybe not ria.ru

We all would have been better off. There's currently little-to-nothing of value on .ru websites.

What is distracting you?
I was in a similar situation to you, I made my part time contracting into full time contracting and haven't looked back.

Now that's not always the right choice for everyone, and there have been ups and downs, periods with too much work and not enough work, but overall it's been a good approach for me. One big thing is that since my finances are volatile I was very conservative in my purchases so that I could sleep at night knowing that I could cover all my debt and have a decent runway if the worst did happen and I had a hard time finding work for a long period of time.

If I would do it again I would be very tempted to just grind leet code as hard as possible and apply to a FANG company as it's going to be really hard to beat the total compensation from one of those companies even as a contractor and there is a huge amount of stability.

I can't predict the future but we're obviously in a turbulent time right now, if you're looking to start a family I would probably weigh stability pretty heavily right now.
Can you clarify the difference?
The Google problem is "normal", in my experience. If you're trying to access an inactive account, Google will almost always insist on a second factor (verification via secondary email account, phone number, etc). If you haven't configured any of that, getting access to the account becomes almost impossible. Even if you have the password.
How do you validate those product ideas? Are you posting about it and fishing for engagement, or building some real quick and dirty prototypes?
I appreciate the insights. I have Ukrainian friends and hope that the country is being supported although the war is not being discussed.
> the tax engine knows that I do not need any additional information for subscriptions that are US-based or based in other countries as I have no obligations to collect tax there

Is this true? Don't you always have to collect/pay local taxes if you are selling stuff in a country? For example, you sell to a customer in Germany, your price must include German VAT.
In my not very long but significant experience, it often boils down to having no intention to allocate time/resources for optimization (just convince the customer their hardware is obsolete, and possibly be the one who scores a sale of new hardware) and contracts with other parties that force developers to keep old software modules/libraries in place.

Been there done that; there was this 3rd party software module "Y" that exchanged data packets over the network between "X" and "Z", supposedly doing complex operations, and my company was developing both X and Z. I was in the Z developers team. We had all protocols documentation, so although I didn't have the sources of that Y module, I could see that it was just passing around packets without performing any functions that couldn't be easily integrated in either X or Z, I mean really 2 hours of work in a government project that lasted years, so I asked about the opportunity to some colleagues who confirmed that getting rid of that module was a no-no because by contract we were forced to partner with that company, therefore we had to keep their module that essentially did nothing but passing packets (and money).
I recall my immediate thought was "software bureaucracy", which probably boosted even further my decision to run only Open Source software wherever I can.
If you're planning a family, do that asap. If you're 37, any child born now would mean you're going to be 60 when they're 23. Assuming you live that long. Not having parents in your 20s and 30s is a setup for societal failure. Nobody is prepared for a baby, but if you have money, a place to live, you're better off than most.
If you can not see through how people with rifles are going to defeat the world's second or third strongest military.

It is not like the Russians have a logistics disadvantage, they are literally surrounding Ukraine.

As much as I might be disillusioned, the very fact of pressing citizens to carry rifle, and making them believe they are "winning" is my definition of human shield.
You are right, sorry for the confusion.

Inflation is 7%, and interest for money market fund is 0.01%.

Meanwhile in China, inflation is less than 1.5%, interest for money market fund is 2.4%.

If you use ProtonMail or any other "private" email provider that will be why. I've had so many accounts blocked, locked, banned, and so on just because I use ProtonMail without a custom domain. I use the premium domain now (pm.me) for important things that I can't afford to go wrong.

These companies have a list of things they check for and if your score reaches a threshold you'll just be automatically locked out. In a lot of cases support will be totally useless and unable to help. I've tried to buy things before and been locked out, then just didn't bother, so it's their loss too.
