Uh, the whole point of guerilla war is it isn’t toe to toe, and quick decisions don’t matter?

If Russia ‘wins’, they still will probably lose (due to protracted guerrila activity draining them economically).

Afghanistan never got won, even with all the wiz bang technology. The US just got tired of paying.

I wonder if Russia thinks it gives them a strategic advantage to be able to turn the power on and off at will? (Hypothetically, if they have full control of some city, they can turn the power back on and the people are less likely to revolt.)

This whole situation reminds me of the Mosul dam in Iraq, which was controlled by ISIS for awhile. The dam is kept stable by continuous grouting operations, which I believe were on hold for awhile.
>This is, so far as I know, the first time anyone has carried out a military attack on a nuclear plant

The Israelis bombed an Iraqi plant in the 80s I think.
Allegedly, Ukrainian firefighters were shot at by Russian troops.

If true, then that’s another war crime to add to the growing list.
I was assuming geostationary satellite in example to point out that obscuring the IP could add a layer of security.

In regards to your general point I am making assumptions and it would be harder. But within an order of magnitude. A great place to use some basic machine learning.

In regards to LEO being harder... I agree the the latency analysis will have more moving pieces. But it being better in terms of resulting anonymity would depend on its implementation...

If you harass everyone all the time, you’ll have the entire population taking up arms. Russia doesn’t have enough soldiers or drones to even attempt to prosecute that type of war.
If you're learning for mastery, that implies that whoever's teaching or tutoring you will care how well you're doing. No matter what your level is, i.e. even if you need to be "held back" from acceleration because you've yet to achieve mastery of your current curriculum.

Unless Russian army turns around, drives back, and stops at the Red Square. But there are slim chances to that.
Then at the same time, is it immoral for me to have no kids because it means the extinction of the human race? Is it immoral for me to have 3 kids because it means exponential growth, overpopulation, famine and destruction of the Earth? If we follow the logic to its end, the only moral choice is for everyone to have not 1, not 3 but exactly 2 kids.

I feel like this "law" really fails to account that not everybody on Earth is the same person and won't do the same thing because they either don't want to or can't.

Not everybody will want to use an emulator (because they want to play online, have a deckable console, or whatever other reason) or be able to get one (because they don't have a powerful enough pc). And people using emulators might make additional publicity that might bring new consumers to Nintendo products.
Safer than the plant at Chernobyl, thankfully, with a real containment building. I'm still worried though.

Was this done in Chechnya?

EDIT: Turns out it's the opposite — Chechnya has far fewer ethnic Russians than it used to. It's now less than 2% ethnic Russian.

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/left-behind-russian-lif...

> According to official figures, in 1979 over 30% of the population of Soviet Chechnya were ethnic Russians. By 1989 the figure had fallen, although not by much – they still made up 25% of the population. In 2002, however, less than four percent of residents were Russian, and by 2010 Chechnya was losing its Russian population faster than any other North Caucasus republic. It was, effectively, a mono-ethnic member of the Russian Federation.
I thought Duke3D was also great this way, but it may be nostalgia talking.
There is a distinction between nuclear warfare and radiological warfare, which is what this would (arguably) be.
Ooops, fixed. Thank you!
it's not a strawman. designing to requirements driven by fear and not rational risk assessment can make feasible technology infeasible.

if we designed airliners with a safety factor in line with people's fear of flying and not the actual risk of failure, they would never be able to get off the ground.

yet we require that nuclear power plants tolerate any conceivable failure mode, no matter how unlikely, or dangerous.

that's not rational.
Is there anything else out there like it, or is it not going to happen due to patents?
That almost seems irellevant, even if Putin cared what people think (I don't think he does for the most part), he controls almost all of the media in the country. He can just tell people "Ukraine did it" and they can believe him or not, it doesn't really matter.
CNN's homepage currently has video of the Russian shells impacting the plant, shot from the same camera doing that live stream. Extremely unsettling.
That also means they have to use spaces? Otherwise what is the difference between x <- 1 and x < -1?
Chasing women for sex is pointles and a waste of time and money... prostitutes are literally cheaper and a guaranteed success. What you need is a partner that you can do all the other stuff with, and the sex is just an added bonus... and finding someone like that is totally different than finding someone just for sex.

But yes, social media is really bad, mostly because it cherrypicks just the "perfect moments" while skipping all the rest... and also because it's a record of kids lives that will haunt them when they're older.... my generations were stupid too, but atleast there are no records of that.
On paper, Sagemaker does everything, but they don’t do many of those things well. I think Sagemaker is a great product for enterprises who want to maximize the products procured from a single vendor — it’s easy to buy Sagemaker when all of your infra is already on AWS.

It’s fairly painful to productionize a model on Sagemaker — they make you think about a lot of things and fit into AWS primitives. Besides the code for the model, we don’t force users to think about anything. Our focus is helping engineers get models into production, not reading documentation.

Using our tool, you can fork a model and deploy it to production right away — there’s no time spent battling AWS primitives. We’re focused on developer experience above everything else - which means we enforce sandboxes on our platform to be consistent and reproducible.

National identity don't really matter. In past, entire south american continent was changed to Western outlook and Christianity. The playbook is very simply for this: change school curriculum, medium of instruction, replace religious leaders, control media outlets, full on propoganda, remove dissendent and promote people who complies. If you don't care about human lives, you can change national identity within 3-4 generations.
I'm certainly no expert, but I read a little bit about it before I commented. The reactors here do have a building intended to serve as containment. I didn't really see much assessment of how robust it is.

This is from last week and discusses the practical impacts of war around the plant being a major issue even if the plant isn't involved:

https://carnegieendowment.org/2022/02/24/most-immediate-nucl...

That article briefly mentions this page, where the CEO of Ukraine's nuclear operator states that they are protected:

https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/A-guide-Nuclear-...

"In addition, Ukrainian power units are ready even for an aircraft crash, because the containment and the reactor vessel designed to withstand corresponding risks."

Russia doesn't need to control the immediate areas around nuclear plants in the initial phases of their invasion, it's lunacy that they aren't carefully avoiding them.
> EDIT: By the way, a great reason to emulate Switch games is to experience them at higher resolutions and higher framerates. Thought you should know, not everyone does it to save a few bucks.

So if by "X" you meant "piracy", well, nice strawman, otherwise you're equivocating emulation with piracy, which is wrong.

Related to this, accessibility, particular for retro games. I'm visually impaired, it's easier for me to emulate GB games because have you played on a GBA screen recently? Likewise, since my MS gives me twitches, the ability to do things like save scum is nice when I'm replaying NES games. I own an NES and a GB along with the games. I'm not stealing anything; I'm preventing my disability from locking me out of my own belongings.
They could have just thrown breakers at junctions or cut the power lines. No need to set the reactor on fire.
I don't know how people keep missing this. It's especially ironic, considering we just came from 4 years of hearing "I hate Trump he's not my president I wish we could kick him out but my voice is too small".

Ukraine has 45M people. To flip it from being a Ukrainian majority to a Russian majority state wouldn’t that mean migrating 10-20M Ukrainians out and 10-20M Russians in? That sounds like a huge operation.

Otherwise you have a South Africa situation where a minority rules over a majority and it’s just a matter of time before the majority takes back power.
There are also uncountable stories of people hating school and finding relief upon graduating, and this is plausibly because it's a bizarre environment composed almost exclusively of kids. Personally, if I was gifted enough to go to MIT at age 13, I'd much rather do that than go to a typical middle school, the OP's experience notwithstanding.
thanks for the tip. AB test on pricing page is very tricky. One challenge which with the A/B test on pricing page is that we need to wait for like weeks to get substantial data in terms of conversions. For example - 40 vs 32 wouldn't be significant enough to conclude. I'd try to learn how can we experiment on the pricing page. I do get your point, this page needs more work in terms of experience.
You mean like SoCs or SiPs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_in_a_package
None of those. Destroying critical infrastructure like power plants and radio towers is a common step on the invading a country checklist. Of course considering this was a nuclear plant, one should hope that they were careful enough to limit the damage to prevent nuclear fallout.
This one has a smaller core than a RBMK so it was cheap enough to have a containment shell that the Soviets were willing to pay for one.

The risks of nuclear war from a NATO militarily intervention are far too high to even consider it. I’m sorry to say, but there is really nothing that could happen in Ukraine that would be bad enough for us to accept the risk of nuclear annihilation.
>> when you pin it to a service you're paying for.
>So. A centralized service responsible for keeping your data. How is this different from literally anything else?

Because in addition to being like anything else, your data has a lifecycle in the network. Even if you as an initial provider of data lose interest in it, the network can hold onto it for their own purposes. The question of what data is important becomes decentralized and democratized. So long as at least 1 person says something is important and is willing to pay the resources to pin it, the data exists and can be utilized by any consumers.

>> it may still be in the network so long as the data is getting active use.
>"Maybe" makes this essentially useless.

No, it doesn't. Computer systems are built on a long stack of maybes.

> It really doesn't.

You can't imagine it; it must not exist.
I'm sorry in advance for perpetuating the flamewar.

Disclaimer: Turkish here. I do not deny the Armenian Genocide, or think it was right for Azerbaijan to reclaim Karabakh with this way.

You are falling to the same fallacy as the Turkish government:

* Claiming Khojali massacre is a lie, disregarding the documented facts. Do not bring yourself down to the same level as genocide deniers; they will beat you with experience.

* The "they did that too" argument; as if any horrible act legitimizes the other one.

So, it makes a much better discussion if we all agree on documented facts and try to move forward from there (if there is any solution to move forward to). The "Armenian Genocide didn't happen" versus "Khojali Massacre didn't happen" discussion seems childish at this point, and it is not going to help either side in the long run.
> It's not illegal to share instructions on how to make a bomb, right?

Depends on the country, I think many countries have terrorism laws that this might contravene now. I would expect that to be illegal in the UK for a start, probably most of Europe.
Metamask makes up for like 70% of crypto wallets :/
They can already easily cut (or threaten to cut) main power lines anywhere nearby. It’s not like ukrainian army controls all the area except for the the plant itself.

So we’re back to the question: how can they be so stupid to attack the facility itself?
I would be very surprised if it wasn't warproof. Soviets planned for it, they were preparing the entire population for it even in the satellite states.
I think "sensible" is highly context dependent.
Unfortunately that also removes the possibility of using American media such as Disney as a cultural weapon. IMO it's further splitting the two worlds and making it only more likely to end in animosity
And now Russian forces have entered the building and are fighting inside.
Don't you have a PM with even worse hair to be reading news about?
Loss of coolant can have effects on the reactor and/or the spent fuel pool or container if there is such in the facilities. Any of these could go critical very quickly and ignite/explode.

But based on what happened in Fukushima, critical electrical/cooling systems and backups would have to be damaged in order to pose catastrophic risk.

While this is unlikely I'll probably lose some hours of sleep on this.

I very much doubt the Russians would do this on purpose (fallout would risk the whole operation and possibly Russian territory too) although the fighting around there is incredibly stupid.

It is physics that is the cause behind the memory latency. As such, the fundamental aspect of this won't go away ever - you can randomly access small amount of data faster than you can do a much larger amount of data. This is because storing information takes up space, and the speed of light is limited.

Zap and burp are more optimized towards security testing. There's definitely some overlap in terms of network requests interception but the capabilities on top of interception varies a lot So It depends upon your use case.

> Ukrainian nuclear plant, Europe's largest, ablaze after Russian attack - minister
As the Russian military build-up and invasion of Ukraine has unfolded, I have spent more time thinking about how much humanity tolerates the concentration of significant power (or its proxy, extreme wealth) in small groups of individuals. For me, tackling this issue should be the key concern of our generation.

The smaller the set and the greater the power the set holds, the higher the risk of bad outcomes. The set is composed from human beings, therefore mental health, extremist or nihilistic tendencies will negatively affect the outcomes. Nuclear war is an existentially threatening outcome, but only one of many whose likelihood is determined by a small group of (fragile) individuals.

Why do people here think that historically the personality cult of leadership became so prevalent? And why are the existential risks of power concentration still so accepted given the evidence we see right in front of us?
The monitoring system has been shot down on 1 Sep.

Here is the statement from the Nuclear Agency in Ukraine:

On March 1, 2022 at 11:40 as a result of rocket impact, the communication network of Zaporizhzhya NPP was damaged. As a result, the Automated Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS) of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant lost its full functionality and stopped the transmission of data to the international radiation monitoring network IRMIS. IAEA has been informed about the incident.

Thankfully the reactors are behind the camera streaming the administrative building. Hopefully nothing goes wrong during the takeover. The reactor containment itself is robust, but the potential for human error in a war that keeps escalating should not be discounted.
Interestingly if you read Mao's interview with Edgar Snow
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-work...

You can see a lot of parallel with the current Ukraine situation.

Especially the first QA

Question: Under what conditions do you think China can defeat and destroy the forces of Japan?

Answer: Three conditions are required: first, the establishment of an anti-Japanese united front in China; second, the formation of an international anti-Japanese united front; third, the rise of the revolutionary movement of the people in Japan and the Japanese colonies. From the standpoint of the Chinese people, the unity of the people of China is the most important of the three conditions.

Condition 2 is true right now, while I am not sure about condition 1 in Eastern Ukraine and condition 3 will be true if Russian citizen fed up with all the sanctions I guess.
I'm pretty sure it'll just end up being pirated by those who can, and those who can't will just move on. I don't see parents waging a revolution because they can't get Disney. Media can be easily substituted if it's the only option
> Lisp is known for its overwhelming parentheses…

I have never understood this common perception. They are so common you don’t really notice them.

What does weird me out about most other languages is the semicolons, and even more, the distinction between statements and expressions.
I think it's just an uncomfortable discussion to have. No amount of social engineering will fix this. As a group, children who come from good home with a mother and a father - who have jobs and aren't on public assistance - are better prepared for many aspects of life including education. There's no shortage of talent and intelligence that will go wasted because of this fact and that is sad and it makes us feel bad. San Francisco's efforts here are meaningless sacrifices to the altar of equity that bring us one step closer to a Harrison Bergeron style dystopia that makes the problem (of wasted talent and education) much worse. But doing _something_ feels better than doing nothing, so I'm not expecting the situation to improve.
Plenty of people had their doubts about Trump.

Many are worried about the advanced age of Biden.

There are many articles doubting Putin's mental capacity right now.

Also, sanity is not a binary switch. Dementia creeps slowly. So can other mental afflictions.

Philosophically, many would argue that to order international nuclear detonation nowadays is by definition, the action of an insane person.
ZOMG great idea, take my (VC) money!

By definition, you can't deal with these kinds of people. You can't change the mind of someone whose mind is made up. At best, you can wait until they fail and are replaced. However, you'll likely waste a lot of time waiting for that day, and depending on how the organization is structured, it may never happen.
I grew up playing a game we called 'Pounce'. I've also heard it called 'Nerts". In Pagat, it's apparently classified as 'Simultaneous Solitaire' and related to Klondike[0].

We played with as many as 12 players, all with a full deck of cards. All players set up similar to solitaire, with 13 cards in the 'pounce pile'. The objective was to play all the cards in your pounce pile, using regular solitaire rules, but playing on any player's foundation pile.

The game is very physical and intense. If two players can play the same card and there is one foundation pile qualified, they have to move fast. Hands collide, cards are bent, epithets hurled... It was common for players to leap to their feet, lurch across the table and body check their neighbor to play a card.

When a player exhausted their Pounce Pile, they'd holler 'POUNCE' and everyone had to stop play and take their score: Sort and count your cards in the foundation piles, and subtract 2x the number of cards remaining in your pounce pile. First player to 'X' (a pre-agreed threshold) wins.

In my life, I've never encountered another family who played this card game. Maybe you're familiar with it?

Do you know if these really show a significantly different pressure effect from conventional bombs?

I saw a chart showing a fatter tail on the shockwave, but it wasn't really that dramatic. I'm curious because I can imagine all kinds of vacuum effects in my mind's eye, but this is also informed by a _lot_ of the now-doubtful PR-style efforts on selling these things in years past.
