This one does because of Russia’s previous exploits in the area. Most notably, Holodomir: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

Ukrainians know what’s next, just like my ancestors did: genocide
Why didn't the managers fire them?
Pretty much, although I think the RTG is mounted on a limb as far away from the other equipment as possible, but still the computer needs to be able to tolerate a decent amount of radiation. It also has an interesting redundant design where it has double the component count and can either exploit that for extra compute or redundancy in case of component failure.
I support this. Overtime is free labor and the market should be regulated by the government to prohibit this.

That said, I've been a software engineer for over twenty years and most of those years I've worked under 40 hours a week and rarely worked overtime.
Even if he was an antisemite at one point in his life or even his entire life, how does that change what the original poster said about him - that he was brilliant?

I'm genuinely curious because I've seen this kind of knee-jerk response across many avenues (e.g. x is an antisemite, is hitler, is a facist, is a commie, is a trump supporter) and I don't understand it.

In the medieval era most people participating in European civilization would qualify for the modern definition of antisemitism. Should I simply disregard the good works of writers and thinkers from that time period and geography?

If anything I am pro-semite but it's a struggle for me to grasp why the antisemitism of an individual should affect my opinion of their work or ideas. Even though I don't approve of their opinions regarding a people group it simply does not follow that I ought to dismiss everything they have ever said.
If you only apply 'guilt by association' to your opponents, but not to yourself and your tribe, then your worldview will be built on a foundation of cheap rhetorical tricks.

Remember when Hillary's mentor (Mr. Byrd) was a former KKK Grand Dragon (and Democrat Senator)? Or when that democrat attempted to assassinate a dozen Republican lawmakers on a baseball field? How about the one who killed five cops in Dallas? Or the ones who engaged in (or cheered on) the 2020 riots that did billions of dollars in damage (including a months-long attack on a Federal courthouse in Portland, complete with firebombing!)?

All of this finger pointing bullshit is a distraction, intended to scare stupid people to the polls.

Our primary product technology tenant is that we're strategy led. That is - we're a flat org in which ICs are asked to take the strategies set my management and figure out how to implement them (Semantically, "Shape the Path.") To put it succinctly, where other organizations promise autonomy, we grant authority.

We have a high behavioral bar with new hires, asking that applicants' work history has evidence that they question the status quo, make business decisions without consulting their manager, escalate issues even when unpopular, break up empires, and raise the bar in the organization, all while earning the trust and respect of their team.

My surname is Polish, sort of, and it’s typically more associated with what was historically northeast Poland/Vilnius.

If you search my surname (Sielicki) you can see how there was a resettlement between the lands lost on the east and gained in the west after WWII.
> So take out Saddam Hussein don't kill a million innocent people in the process.

Do you really think you were the first person to come up with the idea of assassinating a head of state as a means to end a war? It doesn't really work that way.

It wasn't 1M, it was about 1/5 of that. I'm not of course justifying the loss of life, however it behooves us to speak precisely instead of hyperbolically. [1]

> I did hear a rumor that it was all about the oil anyway LoLz.

That rumor makes no sense if you actually dig in. 72% of America's foreign oil imports come from Canada and Mexico. Only about 3% from Iraq. And Iraq was exporting oil before the war, too. [2] 2T was spent in the Middle East. That buys you a heck of a lot of market-rate oil.

This is divorced from reality. You're right, I do not have the experience to package it on every distro. I do however get bug reports that "$app does not work on $distro" that I have to fix as the software developer of $app, because "just wait for another software developer that understands $distro to package it for you" is not an acceptable workaround for users.

Even something that seems innocuous like, "oh sorry it's not available for that by default, here's a tarball" is too much friction for user applications.

Flatpak is the closest to a solution we have, but it has its own issues. It's infinitely superior to "just use the standard build tool like $(N different build tools) and list your dependencies, then pretend it's someone else's problem to solve!"
You're talking about flipping the polarity, going occasionally from conductor-positive to conductor-negative (the shield must remain at ground potential.)

If I remember correctly that actually makes things much worse if you've operated at one potential for a considerable amount of time.

You could operate the cable at AC ~ 0.1Hz but your ability to actually transmit MWH would suck.
We were lobsters in a pot. Watching the relationship that we used to have with air travel and airports in movies from the 90s and before must be surrealistic to young people.
You must be in a pretty restrictive bubble if you believe the "compromise" needed to accept the boarding pass system creates a fragile situation.

If you were talking about the security theater around travel, as well as garbage like secret no-fly lists, I'd agree with you.

But requiring a boarding pass to get on a plane is no more ridiculous to a near-total majority of humans than requiring a ticket to watch a movie at a theater.
Yea, here's how what you observed in your coworkers changed my behavior. I used to share my free time projects widely with coworkers. Stuff like arduino robotics projects, fun sites I would build for silly reasons, etc. Some coworkers wouldn't enjoy it and instead pick it apart for any reasons that usually starts with "why didn't you just..."

It wasn't everyone, but I started to realize that I was triggering negative feelings in some people.

Comparing suffering is useless. There is no objective measure for pain, just as diminishing the suffering of Ukrainians because Yemen or Palestine is pointless.

Some brave Russian people are now suffering in Putin's prisons for speaking out against war. Some mothers will never know how or where their children died. Some African students in Ukraine are suffering from racism perpetrated by other war victims.

It's all bad and they all deserve compassion.
> Trump wasn't smart enough to get it done.

I think it's dangerous to believe being a good fascist/authoritarian takes smarts. What it really takes is cunning, a huge ego, lack of a conscience, and the ability to make a million people follow you while plugging their eyes and ears to anything else except the words of the authoritarian. Being smart has nothing to do with it. Well, maybe that can play into it but the worst authoritarians in the world's history were narcissistic psychopaths, not smart, rational tactical geniuses. The West's biggest mistake with Putin was buying into his own propaganda, that he's a tactical genius rather than an abject psychopath. Being a psychopath, he may make moves that seem tactical to others, but really they are just never considered because those moves are so psychopathic; good people with consciences don't do what Putin does because they're dumb, but because they have souls. People like Putin and Trump see that restraint as a character flaw and a sign of weakness. It's why everyone was so sure he would never invade Ukraine. And then he did, leaving them dumbfounded. "But it's such tactical mistake!" Yeah, because it was never about tactics, it was bout killing Ukrainians and feeling like a big boy while he does it. That's the whole goal.

Lying your ass off and then being ruthless when people believe you is the name of the game. I was hoping the the whole idea that "Oh sure, Trump is crazy but he's not that dangerous because look how dumb he is" would have died on 1/6. On that day we were perilously close to Trump kicking off his authoritarian ambitions.

Smarter people usually don't have the charisma or lack of conscience to pull authoritarianism off. A charismatic authoritarian is far more dangerous than a smart one.
AC is easier to switch than DC because you get less arcing. Good demonstration:

A phenomenon I've never stopped seeing online is people asking a simple factual question ("what is X?") instead of just using a search engine which would get an answer instantly.

Or people who, when given documentation, insist on asking a series of questions which are all directly answered if you bother reading the clear, concise documentation at all.
On the other hand, perhaps that would have gotten us to reconsider the forever war that killed so many and wasted so much money for no reason?
And this is where those Lean Startup books come into play because some of their case studies, even if they're fluffy, show how you can prototype your product with a lot of manual intervention to onboard those 5-10 customers before building anything. I remember reading about an AI Assistant that launched and, to check the market, it was just the founder responding to people lol.
> I mean you yourself said that Russian people should be punished because they support Putin. So shouldn't the American population be punished as well because they voted for Hillary Clinton who was pro war based on a lie.

You could make the argument that the world could have stood up and sanctioned the US - but likely they did not because they probably agreed with the action, whether they could say so directly or not. 'Should' is not the bar. The fact it took a lie to convince folks to go in is neither here nor there, IMO. Again, I was against the war.

> Jeez, it's that easy for you to say that eh. Say that to a person who lost his family in that invasion.

Say that to someone in Kurdistan who suffered life-long debilitating injuries due to the sarin and VX gas attacks that were then followed by a Napalm run. [1] Saddam launched some of the worst chemical attacks in history against his own citizens. We can go back and forth on this all day.

It was life frozen. Life had stopped, like watching a film and suddenly it hangs on one frame. It was a new kind of death to me. (…) The aftermath was worse. Victims were still being brought in. Some villagers came to our chopper. They had 15 or 16 beautiful children, begging us to take them to hospital. So all the press sat there and we were each handed a child to carry. As we took off, fluid came out of my little girl's mouth and she died in my arms.

If your argument is "ah but Saddam wasn't that bad" my guy, you've already lost. He really wasn't great.

It's not always so straightforward. You decrease your traffic costs, but you'll incur capex (servers, switches, connectivity) or operation costs (renting servers).
Additionally outside EU network contracts can be a hassle to sign because of market consolidation or outright oligopoly. So you'd need to commit capital to get bandwidth.
It's an interesting optimisation problem and sometimes you can route your traffic differently based on SNMP data, price per Mbps and route performance. The higher you pay, the better connectivity you get. But off-peak times you can route traffic via cheaper provider.
That's not true. If you read what Google wrote regarding BeyondCorp the argument is that firewalls and VPNs were perimeter defences for weak internal networks and this is the main complaint, that breaching this defence would allow lateral movements as well as of course internal attacks. They have no issue with strong internal zero-trust networks.

So as I said previously, for most organizations, it would be crazy to the point of lunacy of their infosec team to allow the internet access to internal corporate systems and just rely on those to have been individually secured.

I would dare to say that nobody does this or I'll ask you to please give me the IP address of Google's internal DVCS server.
This. Russia, is no different from the USA when it comes to war crimes. The only difference is the USA can get away due to the political clout in their sphere of influence. Those countries that did not condemn the aggression - India, Brazil, UAE, etc could see through the western hypocrisy. Crazy to say, but the USA was the "role model", precursor to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. No point in calling any nationality as barbaric, because let's be honest, power comes exploitation, no matter who you are
I don't think that's a satisfactory mitigation. For example, there is a terminal escape code to change the title of your terminal. Your windowing system, which is very privileged, then displays that.

I think it's fine to be paranoid here, the attack surface is massive.
give up on being a solo founder.

What you need is a cofounder who knows how to SELL!

I know because I was in the same boat. After running into my cofounders, we've had a lot of success. I can sit and focus on making the tech stack shine while they pound on doors and get customers to sign up while also getting me feedback to inform what to prioritize for future features.

I'm sure there are some who'd disagree with me and tell you to to spend time learning sales. As someone who's tried that, I can say some people just aren't cut out for it, ymmv. given your technical skills, I'd wager your time is better spent building tech. what you need is someone who does teh work of finding out if what you're building is something people want.

FYI: your product sounds crazy useful. We built out startup with postgres as the backend and its a pendulum over my head as far as how we'll scale writes once one database isn't enough. I'm hoping by then we'll have enough money to make it someone else's problem.

TLDR: find someone who's moderately tech savvy and is more interested in selling. have Him/Her approach tech companies that would find your product useful and see if they are interested. at the very least, you'll find out you're wasting your time and pivot to something more lucrative.
It seems like it depends on whether you’re looking at students as individuals or not.

If an individual student is getting less than average access to resources in order to statistically balance allocation of resources by race, that individual student isn’t getting (or even asking for) a “disproportionate share of resources”. They’re asking for an equal share, but in reality getting less because what group they are being categorized into.
> 1 and 2. UN asked NATO to do so.

Wrong [1]:

> NATO countries attempted to gain authorisation from the UN Security Council for military action, but were opposed by China and Russia, who indicated that they would veto such a measure. As a result, NATO launched its campaign without the UN's approval, stating that it was a humanitarian intervention.

> Nothing to do with NATO.

Not according to NATO [2] (emphasis added):

> ... furthermore, in the early 1960s, NATO was authorised by Ankara to station medium-range Jupiter missiles near Izmir for a short period of time.

Why did you do this?
> Russia needs to believe that there is a balance.

I really hope we shed this mentality of appeasement and catering to unfounded "needs". It doesn't work and never did.
In the near term (days to weeks, maybe a few months), I would expect gas prices to be more likely to rise rather than fall. I can't speculate well about longer term because there are too many variables in play: while peak demand could be relatively well-forecasted based on climate change legislation, the supply side of the equation is difficult to forecast.

> Is LNG route open for Russia?

I am not an expert on these affairs, but I believe Russia doesn't have a lot of LNG export capability at the moment, and LNG export terminals are not something quickly built. It's more likely to me that Russia shifts its gas exports away from Europe and into China via existing pipelines, rather than investing in LNG export capabilities.
Put yourself in the seat of a Russian or Ukrainian negotiator.

Suppose you have to choose between ① a negotiated peace, with a return to Ukraine's old borders, no reparation payments and a complete amnesty, or ② to fight on, with a hope of victory for the Ukraine that enables reparations and ICC trials. Everyone else in the negotiations has voted, your vote tips the scale. What do you choose?

And if you choose the second option and someone later argues that you should be tried for complicity in the war crimes that happened after your decision to prolong the war, what do you think about that accusation?

This isn't simple.
It seemed to me that the author was describing his instinctive mental representation of numbers, and not that mental math is only achieved by using shape-analogs.

I've never thought about it before, but while I definitely don't have as distinct models as the author, I do understand and agree with an instinct around numbers "fitting" together to make tens, and it definitely informs how I break down e.g. triple digit mental addition.

You can still do that (boarding pass has nothing to do with that process), but given that most people book in advance, you'll run the risk of there not being room on the flight you want, or of getting a crappy seat, or of having to pay significantly more than if you booked in advance.
it does, but it is not as significant in normal weather conditions in the frequency ranges we're dealing with here (Likely sub 2.4 Ghz) [1], (General rule of thumb, Atmosphere absorbs everything except visible spectrum and 10 cm - 10 m wavelength), compare this to effect from the inverse square law. :)

Now this might be significant enough in directional waves with a huge constant multiplier (like a 'ideal' laser with no divergence). Someone can probably give insight on it here.

College degrees or plain salespersonship conferring an inappropriate amount of merit. This is the unfortunate corrolary of impostor syndrome: some people really are impostors.

I think if we want to start pushing more people into trades and de-emphasize college education: (1) we make it much harder to graduate college and (2) make college much cheaper so that pursuing that risk isn't ruinous. Then a student can explore a college path and pivot to something more suited to their attitude and skills to remain a productive member of society if it doesn't work out.
Does this mean there's a central server / database every ATM for a particular bank queries?

I'm thinking if there are multiple servers you could theoretically do it at the exact same time. Or if there are multiple servers but one database, is the database locked for your account when performing the request?
This is another issue though. Nothing burns you out quite like realizing that you don't even want your boss's job. It makes your career feel hopeless.

What prompted the Soviets to deploy nuclear weapons to Cuba was US nuclear missiles being deployed to Turkey under NATO control.
Avowed leftist here: Let's just agree that both the Dems and Repubs ban/seek to stifle opinions they don't agree with. Someone wants to ban Maus, someone else wants to ban Joe Rogan. Both parties want power at the expense of "freedom".

Censorship is part of existing as part of a society though. There are people who seek to actively hurt others using words and media, and the whole idea of a state is to (pretend?) to act in the common good. At this point the internet gives everyone a platform (look at us right now, there's a near 0% chance we would have ever spoken in physical real life) and makes a TON more noise that makes finding the signal harder, which means both sides can find plenty of examples of the other behaving badly to "whatabout" whenever someone points out their own bad behavior.

TL;dr- Everyone wants censorship, even if they pretend they don't, so let's not pretend it's actually either side. If anything, your point just proves that Dems/leftists might have more power in the US to influence these things, but that doesn't prove they have more desire to influence them than the right.
This is something I'm very interested in. Is the average Western consumer of COVID misinformation, racial hate-baiting, etc. seeing a sudden decrease in new "content" to share?

Does anyone know of any organizations studying the ongoing levels of creation and engagement with that type of content?
Maybe if their news were independent.

Holocaust: It happened mostly away from the cities, so that's likely how it would be happenig now, too. So if Russians wanted to reveal that that is happening, all that would need to happen was for them to send some scouts/spies/infiltrators to the locations where the mass extermination is happening and make a bunch of videos and publish them. There would be no need to shell and try to siege cities, shoot into civilians, etc.

Instead of this, all we get is a ton of imagery of destroyed Ukranian cities, and killings of civilians.

We can't maybe disprove the negative, but we don't need to. Russia needs to prove the positive.
NYC has exactly this, it's called the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board. I'm not that familiar with it, but I think this is hard to implement right - either it's toothless or makes cops too reluctant to act when they are needed.
