I'd echo others and say this boils down to familiarity more than anything else.

Identity and authentication is honestly the one area where the popular cloud platforms differ the most. I used to work for AWS and currently work for Azure, and the switch from IAM to AAD caused more cognitive dissonance than any other difference between the platforms' respective offerings.
If you're a real Mac lover? Definitely. I used to use mine all the time as a very fancy vt100 terminal for an old Apollo server I had, and also to telnet to a BBS I was running in the late 90s.

It's a great conversation piece, too.
ai is a TLD, and domains technically all end in a "." - that is, you're reading this on news.ycombinator.com. , just nobody ever bothers writing the final dot.
There are levels to this. The term used by diplomats and leaders is Proportionality.

Its already accepted that non violent means that nevertheless still negatively impact civilians are appropriate measures to apply political pressure. That's what economic sanctions are. I don't see how that can be considered acceptable yet cutting off digital communications is a bridge too far. I consider economic sanctions more severe than blocking the Russians from the global internet. One means you lose access to information. The other means your economy may collapse and you might not be able to afford food.

As for the 9/11 attacks, they were deliberate attacks on civilian targets which are traditionally considered war crimes when carried out by state actors and terrorist attacks when not. They are definitely far worse than softer measures like sanctions and not directly comparable.

And there is nothing arguable about it. They definitely backfired. Bin Laden did not hide his intentions or feelings. In fact he wrote extensively and publicly on it. He expected that the American public, who were broadly ignorant to US foreign policy at the time would empathize with him and blame their government. The opposite happened.
Isn't Fox News very mainstream, and very... "dissenting"? Conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, Fox News gives them the mic, and even primetime slots! Or am I just another "commie lib"?

January 6? Fox News hosted people who championed the "2020 election theft" theory: https://www.vox.com/recode/21563312/fox-news-trump-election-...

I guess the big issue is, the media used to be truthful, nowadays they make assertions and claim it's the truth. The "leftist" media was parroting the "Covid was not from a lab" assertion as if they're sure of it, in science you don't dismiss theories unless you're 100% certain - although if someone said "Elvis came back from his space trip and brought Covid from planet X", it doesn't seem worthy to waste one's time to investigate this assertation.

It'd be great if people who listened to Fox News could be asked to listen to someone who challenges their assertions, like "Biden won Georgia by about 12000 votes. If all those 12000 votes were fraudulent, wouldn't you think there'd be more evidence about widespread cheating?". Sadly a lot of people probably don't even want their minds to be changed, they're already certain that the other side are the spawn of Satan and that their side is the right one.
People will still say they'd buy it and then not actually buy. The only way to actually verify that they'd pay is to, well, make them pay for it. Collect their money first and then if it doesn't work out, offer a refund, like Kickstarter does.
Additionally there is the argument of costs. Nuclear was feasible while governments heavily subsidized nucular (sorry couldn't resist). Either by not pricing in the cost for storage of burned fuel or for example insurance against costs of cleanup in case of an accident.

As with oil, coal or gas - externalities were not factored in and payed for by society. Just not with the price per kWh. While the gains were privatized.

So no. While somewhat cleaner nuclear power actually isn't a viable solution. Neither ecological nor economically from a society's standpoint.
This is true until suddenly it isn’t…
> I learned a similar lesson in a simpler form when waiting tables.

This is something everyone should be required to do. Try to last a month at it. I sure couldn't. But I'll be damned if it didn't make me 1000x more considerate towards just about everyone. We all have a choice whether to cause a fuss over stuff that hardly matters, or whether we blame someone for circumstances outside their control. There's no clearer way to see these problems and decide what kind of person you're going to be than there is from the ground level.
> No, it's not, because you're talking about an unusual and gross medical test. A literal, very personal intrusion, poking something far up where kids are told not to poke things. Not walking upstairs.

The same is true when I clean my kids' ears.

So?

Whoever is insaner wins?

Nah, remind Putin that we all saw how much the russian army sucks and in case of nuclear war the US still wins after they get out of their bunkers.
I'm in the middle of a pivot out, having recently quit what was my "dream job" at a top company while making the most money I've earned in my career.

I knew it was coming eventually after having burned out a couple times at prior jobs. In all cases it was caused by a mix of the factors the article mentions plus a lack of meaning and fulfillment as a software engineer that I've never been able to escape. This last role was sort of a last ditch effort to see if a renowned company, good salary, and good manager could make things better. It didn't, and in fact I think it was the cognitive dissonance of that situation that lead me to burnout harder and more quickly than I have in past positions.

I've had a few weeks to reflect and recharge and so far I have no regrets.

The next step is to try hard to find a better option in another industry or some form of self-employment, though it's required some mindfulness to be honest with myself about what I truly want and could be qualified for. I also know that I could easily just go right back into the fray; who could give up the money and stability? I don't take those for granted. It's certainly a far better option than failing my family or going into poverty. But I'm optimistic I can make it work.
My parents fled from active warfare. My father had AK47s pointed at his chest. They came to my current country of residence with very meager means. None of them participated in local politics or were involved with the school board.

Because they both experienced poverty, violence, and actual warfare, they understood the value of education - to prevent me from falling into similar circumstances.

I suppose, to you, this now constitutes privilege? I always thought this was something reserved for the whites. Or, are you bringing the notion of "white privilege" into question? Otherwise, it seems that you are implying that I am not deserving of preferential treatment based on my race, and that I have not experienced any particular form of persecution.
This is probably the best advice for the OP I've read here.
> the older one gets bored with arithmetic homework very easily

Is he/she getting bored because it's too easy, or frustrated because it's too hard? I was crazy bored with arithmetic homework and I later took 2 years of math from a local university while I was still in high school because my high school ran out of high-enough-level math classes for me. Look up the story of Gauss in elementary school for a much more extreme example.

Don't assume your kid is behind at math because they don't like arithmetic homework! They could be too far ahead! Useful links if you suspect that might be the case:

News publications have to decide what is and isn't newsworthy, and it could be that this one just doesn't meet the bar. I know the right really really wants it to finally take off and gather steam, since they invested so much into it. It's a hard pill for them to swallow that HunterBidenLaptop just not that interesting or important. Kind of like Hillary's E-mails. At the end of the day nobody really cares about them.

I mean, if I worked in a news room and wanted to publish a story about the president's cousin's roommate's great soup recipe, and the editor says "NO" does that mean I'm being censored?
With many new disruptions in the private medical sector for example CostPlus bringing prescription drug costs down considerably, do you see any opportunities for collaboration between these newer startups in adjacent industries?

I don't understand why it's my war. My congress hasn't declared war. My congressman hasn't said anything to that effect, and I'd write him a quite angry letter if he did. Some bureaucrats in the State Department might think it's their war, but that's not the same thing.

If you're in any country but Ukraine think about WHY you're picking sides and who told you to do that.
> If some country would try to develop one, we should know immediately.

Like present day North Korea and Iran? Intelligence services let us know that development is underway. But as GI Joe would remind us, knowing is only half the battle. Who enforces the ban, and who pries nukes out of US, Russia and China's cold dead hands without setting any of them off?

Kubernetes gives you a ton of extra tools that allow us to manage the lifecycle of our sandboxes, deployed models, asynchronous training jobs, etc.

Internally, each pod is just running a docker image. You could probably throw something together with docker/the docker API - but in our case we needed a bit more control.
The Bush Hussein WMD ruse/lie was laughably bad, but compared to Putin's "Selensky is the second coming of Hitler" show, in hindsight the Bush play seems like Academy Awards material compared to that school play where even parents leave. When a country is ruled by someone as incompetent as Putin (yeah, until recently I considered him very competent, just in bad things, but like so many I stand corrected) it's never good for the people living there. And the blame for that does not lie outside of the country's borders.

I'm a little confused about how nuclear winter works esp. in relation to climate change, maybe someone here can enlighten me.

The article states:
"large columns of smoke and soot rise up [...] to the stratosphere. There it [...] blocks the sun [...] The nuclear winter [...] is expected to lead to temperature declines of 20 or even 30 degrees Celsius (60–86° F)"

So "smoke and soot" placed in the stratosphere lowers the earth's temperature, yet C02 in the atmosphere raises earth's temperature? Why?

Follow up naive question: can we strategically place smoke in the stratosphere to counter global warming? What are the consequences of that?

Those batteries fail and leak all over the board around them, destroying traces and components. These aren't your typical lithium coin cell batteries that are very good at not leaking.

When a leak happens, even if you can fix/replace the components mounted to the boards, when you've got multi-layer boards it gets hard to figure out how repair the damage that happened to the internal traces and such.

If possible, replacing those batteries with something less likely to juice all over is what you want to do. And since you don't really know when it will start to leak, getting those old batteries out NOW is the safest option.
This is absolutely untrue. Russian chess has always been used by the Russian state as a propaganda vehicle, similarly to Olympic sports. And the chess players are hardly free agents as long as they or their families are based in Russia.
Game theory says everyone would then be itching to build them quickly, secretly while nobody else had them launch and become the hegemony.
Everyone still thinks of them as representing Russia though, especially if you just let them be called "Russian Olympic Committee" or similar.

Even if they were under a neutral flag everyone would think of the person as Russian.

There's no way around it, we all already know where they are from, regardless of what they think of the war.
I guess Palestine doesn't count as a "sovereign country" but its flag is almost identical to Jordan's flag.

My understanding is that it just needs to be replaced, it's a standard 1/2 length AA battery.

People recommend to remove them altogether though, I guess they figure the machines will be sitting in a closet for another 15 years, best to remove the problem altogether.

A good way to lower possibility of conflicts is to deepen interdependencies between countries. This is how EU works, for example.

It might, or not. When you turn down a negotiated offer today you never know exactly what you might be able to get later. You might hope for a coup d'etat in Russia and after that, peace with amnesty only for those involved in the coup.

It's a side point, anyway. My main point was that peace has its cost, and value, and to illustrate how difficult the decisions can be. (I wonder whether someone downvoted me because they think these things should be simple and we should all be able to achieve the bestest outcome?)

Sure, we do all kinds of things to prevent viral infections. We wash hands. We wear masks. We vaccinate. For sexually transmitted things there are condoms.

We also have immune systems.

But at a lower level, when the virus makes it to the cell and hijacks its machinery to spread... That's the part i was thinking of. The cell isn't to blame for being hijacked.

Nuclear weapons are historically proven deterrents that have kept the peace. Conventional war is much worse. It’s both longer and far more brutal.

Thanks for the tips! As for Windows acting strange, I've heard that it can have something to do with 'fast boot' settings on the motherboard BIOS. Not sure if you've checked that already.

Have you ever seen Windows muck up the bootloader? I remember grumblings from some time ago, where it would cause grub to malfunction by making certain assumptions about the disk it was on.

It's not the victim, it's the perpetrator... if you're the USA, you can bomb european countries too (eg. serbia), or middle eastern ones, or african, south american, asian,... basically any one country you want, and nothing happens to you. You can lie about weapons of mass destruction, you can drone-bomb weddings, bomb civil passenger trains, illegally gather dna at vaccinations sites etc., and sometimes you even get a nobell peace prize for all of that.

I live in the balkans, and I'm against any kind of war (obviously)... but even now, people here are more afraid of americans stirring shit up and starting a war here, than of russians.

MAD is the same concept as "an armed society is a polite society"

He's just a little bitch screaming to everyone's face "I'm gonna use nukes!" hoping we give him what he wants.

What does he have to lose by alluding to using nukes right now?

Nukes are the only thing stopping the West from rolling into Moscow, the magic wears off if the clock strikes 12.
Nukes only work for the 15 minutes before they are used, Putin and Lavrov keep crying "Nuklear wolf!".
The #1 problem with economics of nuclear power is the steam turbine that is attached to the reactor. They quit building coal burning power plants at the same time they quit building nuclear plants because those are coupled to steam turbines and gas turbines with an order of magnitude less capital cost became available.

Economically viable nuclear power plants for the future will require liquid metal, liquid salt, or gas cooling. Likely these will also involve some innovation in fuel processing. Research on advanced nuclear energy was stopped almost completely in 1977 in response to racist nuclear proliferation fears.

A Modest Proposal: Replace some of the "Gifted" schools with "Mature" schools. The former implies higher-than-average per-pupil spending. For the Mature schools, spend substantially below average per pupil. Only admit students who rate well in some combination of maturity, self-motivation, good behavior, etc. Increase the student/teacher ratio, and expect the brighter ones (in a given subject) to spend part of their time tutoring the less-bright. Have student government play a non-token role in running the school.

In other words, set up a new sort of school - which tags its graduates as mature, responsible adults. Not top-percentile test-takers, nor elite pampered princelings. Then see which type of graduate is preferred by colleges and employers.

A single-phase-AC-sourced rectifier does need a considerable output capacitor, though, and it will have a poor power factor with severe harmonics unless it spends extra on PFC which would not be necessary with a local DC grid supply (say, 320V DC to replace 230V AC systems to match peak voltage; yes the higher RMS voltage results in (anti-)proportionally reduced current, allowing cheaper/thinner wires or less loss).
The same was said about Nixon during the Vietnam war (which he inherited, but would never have started) but it is a really risky stratergy once you start ramping up the mania levels and passing them on to your nuclear forces, which Nixon (a good president, all in all) nor the Big Orange ever did.
I'm having flashbacks to the early 80's thinking about the American submarine sailors on high alert right now. I served on the USS G. W. Carver SSBN 656, which had 16 of Poseidon missiles. Each had 10 warheads for a total of 160 bombs that could target individual cities or obliterate a single Russian city like an atomic bomb shotgun blast. Like then, I pray now that nukes will never be launched. Also like then, I have nothing against the Russian people. Once the people in charge design a world like this, we are all bit players and victims of it.

Free speech is not free speech. Shouting fire in a theater is not free speech because it causes panic then harm.
AFAIK, Ukraine never had nuclear weapons as a practical matter. They were always under the control of the Russian military.

Edit: More specifically, under the control of the Kremlin. Assuming they have properly implemented nuclear codes that are non-trivial to circumvent. Given the US's track record on that, I'd be nervous.
