Navalny 35 (aka Navalny's List https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_35) is a group of Russian "human rights abusers, kleptocrats, and corruptioners". The list been created by the Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.

Abramovich is on the top of the list.

This list is a primary starting focus of Western govs to sanction Putin cronies. I hope Abramovich et al loose everything, not only for this war, but for robbing Russia and its people of their natural resources wealth.
Can confirm from personal experience. Even a lot of vipassana meditation by itself can send you into psychotic states when you're not ready for all the insight yet. I came very close to psychosis once, experienced ego death, broke down mentally and had to spend 2 months in a depression ward. Cannot recommend.

I don't regret the 2-3 months of active ego dissolution phase, life has never been more beautiful and strangely peaceful and jarring at the same time. However, I did lose my job, my apartment and almost permanently lost my sanity as well, but now in hindsight it looks like it was all for the better.

Nevertheless I don't think you should force something like this (like I very much did), the consequences to internal and external reality can be absolutely dramatic, I have gained insights I was not supposed to have and I've preferred to mostly live in peaceful ignorance since then... safe for the short moments of.. remembering. Everything and nothing at once. Becoming the observer. Observing the observer. Being everything...

It's all still there if I really wanted to, and my state of mind has changed permanently in drastic yet mostly unconscious ways. It took years to come to terms with all of this and since I've achieved stream entry back then there is no way back out now. It's either managing to get out of the cycle or repeating it over and over again. Meditation has become mandatory like drinking water. I‘ll soon be confronted with all of this again.

Tread carefully, reality is not as stable as you think.
"Earlier today, the enemy occupying force in Ukraine mercilessly attacked our peacekeeping force as it peacefully advanced towards Kyiv with humanitarian aid.

President Putin has authorized the use of overwhelming force to evict the occupiers and avenge our fallen servicemen. President-in-Exile <insert expendable criminal> leads the official people's government from Belarus and blah...blah..."

There is nothing at all that has stopped the military from attacking such an obvious target, but it would hurt Ukraine's plea as a victim seeking peace from the RUS citizens and provide truthiness to Putin's internal propaganda.

Better to let this encirclement occur, the thaw hits, RUS armor stuck with harrassed supply lines and the hell of urban combat against a determined populace. Meanwhile, your western flank is feeding advanced weaponry into the remaining UKR units and your economy has imploded.

Take all the corruption, assumptions RUS had, etc. and it all still looks like a scenario from some HS history class to help teach about Caesar or Stalingrad.
I disagree. The freedom of navigation exercises held around China are always denounced by the current leadership.

Any "freedom of navigation" during an active conflict with an ally would understandably be considered a potential declaration of war. They may consider the risk too high not to respond, similar to the Korean war.

The main difference is they now have a modern military and dont have to rely on rural untrained farmers to win their battles.
It saves what you see (and remove JS by default). There is an option to embed the JS and another one to save the "raw" page but I would not say it is reliable.
The cleverness lies more in the ability to produce light pages.

If the NFT does actually reference an IPFS CID, that amounts to a hash of the image, so that particular issue isn't there.

It's just kind of nuts to talk about "everyone stopped pinning my NFT" as being a "rugpull"- anyone can pin a piece of content in IPFS, including anyone with an interest in the NFT existing, such as the owner. So the only thing you have to do if an NFT falls off the IPFS network is just to take your copy and pay someone else to pin it. It's only a "rugpull" if you, you know, forgot to keep a copy of it anywhere.
> This is a 19th century war with 21st century weapons.

Very little of the weapons involved are actually 21st century. Most are 20th century.
I'm sorry, but this is such an extreme example. You should not overdo anything, be it meditation, gaming, playing, reading, any sport, even drugs. Drugs also give you a state of mind that, when taken to the extreme, can harm your social life and well-being. That is not a problem specifically of meditation.

You can safely do anything up to the point that it benefits you. The moment your well-being suffers, or you neglect important parts of life, like friendship, you should stop.

Video codecs are not my area of expertise. Which codecs are these and what tool(s) would you typically use to ensure you provide them?

Since this is not a mix-up I make very commonly, I obviously meant "...terrible too".

I think you mean that poorly designed take-home tests aren't fair. Do you think a well-designed, hourlong one could be fair?
Russians know. As do Ukrainians.

My granma told me what was happening in Khmelnik (West Ukraine) at times of German occupation.

50% of the city was Jewish. And almost zero left in first few months. And that was done primarily by locals from UPA - not Germans. You can hide from a German but cannot hide from your neighbor.

UPA and Stepan Bandera[1] is a hero of Ukraine now - it is a street in Kiev named after him.
Despite the fact that Poland and Russia condemn him as a war criminal - for massacres of Polish and Jewish civilians.

And now Ukrainian refugees are coming to Poland... That will not be that easy ... Liberal values are quite thin as practice shows.

I am quite surprised that nice Jew guy mr. Zelensky didn't do anything about it. Probably because he is not who rule there.

I am trying to fix this with book browsing online, try shepherd.com and let me know (ben@shepherd.com). I go to authors and ask them to share 5 books around a topic/them they are passionate experts in, and then i try to connect it in different ways to make browsing fun :)

I showed an interviewer a piece of something I built in a traditional page-per-view design, with some xmlhttprequest where appropriate, and a sprinkling of Vue where it added usability to some of the modal dialogs. Their only response was "why didn't you build it in React?".

I stopped interviewing for front-end work since then. The landscape changes frustratingly too often.
What a cool project! I love the way this embeds images. One of things I miss most, though, when going back to old sites, is embedded audio or video. From looking at the options, it seems like it might be able to handle encoding video and/or audio as Data URIs, but it's not totally clear if SingleFile does this or not. I wasn't sure if I was doing the correct things to force this behavior in the options. It would be great if the README could clarify how these are handled by SingleFile. Sometimes it might be nice to be able to embed these sorts of things, even if it does make the HTML ridiculous and bloated. Or, barring that, maybe just a recommendation to use one of the other formats in the comparison table for this kind of use case.

I thought like you but day by day I am more convinced that their cards are visible and insufficient to secure a victory anyway.

Everything from land forces, to the navy, to the air force, to the intelligence, to the propaganda unit is performing poorly.

And the West has exhibited superior intelligence and PR by all means. The Ukrainian army is much better trained and organized than expected (probably some Western help in their training, or just the psychological hardening caused by the conflict from 2014), and the population is 100% hostile to the invasion.
It’s funny I just spoke to a colleague about this a few hours ago. Anker.com is basically an Amazon storefront without the shitscape.

Amazon makes so much money from bullshit at retail that they cannot enable basic features that even not so great physical retailers get right. Case in point: try buying windshield wipers for multiple cars. You’ll get ads for incompatible blades and tricked into a subscription. It’s literally worse than the 1980 experience of flipping through a torn, filthy book hanging from a shelf by a string.
Steam tried this with their curators feature. You can subscribe to ordinary users and see their personal recommendations/reviews. Not idea how well this feature is used but personally I found the general AI recommendations to be better and most of the curators to over blow everything and call a game literally unplayable because they could only get 59fps on one scene.

Wait, what. Don't basically all browsers nowadays keep previous pages in memory exactly not to do this?
Depends.

A HN pub crawl would be cool, you want diversity to keep things interesting while using HN as a broadly similar filter would help to ensure there are some overlapping interests.

More targeted groups are good for learning or specific activities.
Lol how is “ha ha Chinese eat dogs” not racist. It’s playing on the racist stereotype that asian people eat dogs. (It is true that in some parts of Asia they eat dogs but not in China.)
The more realistic "creative use of borders" I anticipate is citing historic claims of (mostly) Poland to carve off a big chunk of Ukraine in the West into a new state, and put it under explicit or implied ("just try and see what happens") NATO protection. I don't expect that unless Russia starts having a lot more success, though, and both they and Ukraine start to signal that they might accept a partition of the country to end hostilities.

[EDIT] Further caveat that it'd have to be before substantial Russian ground forces reach that part of the country. This is still a low-likelihood scenario, but certainly far more likely than declaring part of Poland to be in Ukraine (?!)
Which is interesting because it’s getting warmer and the conditions have proven muddy so roads are being used more which is a choke point.

China is the leading superpower I guess.
Russian TV is not broadcasting Ukraine war. For that matter, western tvs are not broadcasting full brutality of wars either. It is all sanitized for viewers good feelings.

> 2014 to 2022

Sure, Ukraine actually got ready to defend. Russia actually got to the point of being ready to start war again.

But, actual full war started last week with hope of 96 hours till victory, installation of puppet goverment and weak divided west. They wanted them to be kind of like Belarus, useful for further own plans.

> The idea that Russians care equally about the lives of Syrians and the lives of ethnic Russians & Ukrainians is fantasy. It's obviously false, even if Russians killed Russians in purges 60 years ago.

They don't care about Ukrainians lives at all. If they keep not winning, they will move to deep active hate. Ukrainians are already nazi for them and that includes the Jewish president. And that sentiment is real inside Russians who do believe oficial version.

Purges were not 60 years ago. They were the thing Stalin shot himself into own leg right before WWII. But, fuckup at start is on brand here. Stalin has raising popularity as maligned father of Russia in Russia last 10-15 years.
It would be wild if that delay was what turned this war from a route into a quagmire for Russia by delaying them into the thaw season. They already appear to be having issues with mud, and weather forecasts in Kyiv appear to be mostly above freezing for the rest of the week.

The difference is that Putin has previously accomplished himself as a competent military leader, and Hitler had not.

Though you are right in that there are huge similarities between the two campaigns: in both cases, it appears that the executive leader ignored the advice of his military advisors to launch disastrous military campaigns that actually ended up hindering the non-military objectives behind those campaigns.
I wonder what state Dead Hand/Perimeter is in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand
Oh, I didn’t mean to imply that vipassana isn’t a serious and intense contemplative discipline. If I did, that certainly wasn’t my intent.

At least in St. John’s use of the term, it’s a spiritual and even existential desolation that leads ultimately to a radical purifying of love through the apophatic way. As such, it represents a fairly advanced stage in the spiritual life. I’m not sure if this is the same way the term is used in the vipassana tradition (making the necessary accommodations for the translation needed to take a Christian mystical concept and import it into that tradition).

And, if you used an infinite zoom macro lens on a subject infinitely far away, it would not have perspective at all but instead appear as an isometric view. Where does one find an infinitely large lens? Don't worry, you can't afford it anyway. It costs infinite money.

Jokes aside, the math on this really works out. Orthogonal projection is the limit as d tends to infinity of perspective projection.

And thank you for giving me more information about a topic you've obviously studied intensely :-)

I know that the 'standard' western diet has been catastrophic for the Inuit, but to me it's just been kind of obvious that it's because it diverges so much from what they've traditionally eaten for so long. Good to see that there's actually some research to back it up.

> I mean, if you think about it, having high ketones means your body is not USING the ketones for energy.

That said, I was curious about your comments about ketosis on a personal level. I have no Inuit blood that I'm aware of, but I never get 'keto flu', and any overabundance of free ketones (which also cause 'acetone breath', I think) disappear within a few days of strict low carb carb eating. Fasting also seems much easier for me than it is for my peers.

Would you still say it's harmful for a person like me to eat very few carbs and no sugar?

I started a casual meditation practice a couple of years ago and was getting benefits from it, when I came across an article (on Hacker News) written by a man who had developed severe disassociation and other disorders from meditation.

The irony is that I started meditating because I struggle with panic disorder. Now I was hearing that my most common panic trigger (the thought that I could think myself crazy) was actually real! This sent me down quite a spiral that I have had to resolve by accepting the tiny odds that I might go spontaneously nuts. That's not an easy one, and I wish there was more reliable research on this issue.
Pierce can get some good ones off, but I find his writing often lacks the laconic elegance or sheer surrealism of some of PJ or Thompson's writing. Sometimes he veers into old-man-yells-at-cloud territory, and too be fair it feels like most political commentary from a certain generation has succumbed to that amidst and post Trump.

The status of the USD has also been called the "exorbitant privilege" in part because times of crisis lead to a strong USD and hurts US companies - even when the crisis is entirely unrelated to the US.

It sounds cheesy, but if they're still a country and have allies and citizens who believe in their future, I don't consider that a loss. A loss would be if the dust settles and, for one reason or another, Ukraine is not recognized as a country anymore (either because Russia declares them as theirs and the rest of the world just forgets about it, or because they simply can't sustain themselves anymore).

Germany took Poland to start WW2. Did Poland lose?
At first I was surprised that these stores had survived this long, and then I remembered these were probably great write-offs to have around when the real goal was probably data collection on how people navigated certain kinds of physical stores. Amazon is great at paying no tax because it has a lot of operations that on the surface lose a lot of money but whose real purpose is to funnel data into other, more successful projects. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the fate of Whole Foods in the long run.

I remember reading once in the late 90's - a bit after the fall of the Soviet Union - that U.S. inspectors toured some of the then-declassified Soviet ICBM launch facilities and they came to the conclusion that the missiles would not have survived liftoff much less reached their targets. If Russia was overstating its nuclear capabilities throughout the 80's, is it possible that they've been overstating their military capabilities in general?
