Possibly as an instrumental practice on the way to full buddhahood (and that would come after even the very advanced stage of arahantship, which basically means guaranteed complete enlightenment after your lifetime!). Surely not as mere penance or mortification of the flesh shorn of any contemplative practice, because that was very clearly criticized by the Buddha as misleading and useless when the Hinduists were doing it.

(Then again, IIRC, the Stoics talk about doing something very similar. The idea itself would not have been unfamiliar in the West.)
Splitting hairs - absolutely not, provoked and unprovoked aggression is a very significant difference.

Focusing on the wrong thing - it seems so. Bamboozled used the word "barbaric" to precise which russians he describes. He didn't use the word to insult all Russians. Have you ever heard the term "Nazi Germany"? Do you think, that people using this term intend to insult Germany? I find that ridiculous in a semantic way, that's just not how words work. Look at 2nd Bamboozled's comment and at Michaelmrose comment.

> (I would have had no problem if the original comment said "the invasion of the Ukraine by Russians is barbaric" as an example)

So you have no problem with what Bamboozled meant, only with how he phrased it. That's splitting hairs.

That would seem to rule out a very high percentage of the music I listen to, which frequently has abstract or fully image-processed content on the cover. I have a feeling I know what they're trying to avoid in their catalogs, and that's looking like a crate of records in a dusty music shop. They are merchandising the hits, not trying to even make it feasible to find the market-losers later.

Not so quick. Finland and Sweden have not (yet?) joined NATO. There has been quite some discussion, especially in Finland. The public opinion has tilted towards joining NATO, and maybe we will. Such things take time.
I think part of it was that Poland is more or less ethnically homogenous.

Many in Russia are indigenous or semi-indigenous people native to various localities in the very sparsely populated Siberia, and they do not even speak Russian as their first language. They routinely get searched at subway entrances and receive looks if they so much as take a walk on a street in St. Petersburg because they look Asian.

Now imagine they were asked to rise together with the people who scorned them all these years in order to protest an invasion waged by a dictator they did not elect against another ethnically Slavic population.

So we basically exclude those.

Whomever remains needs to rise and risk being imprisoned or beaten either by the police or by brainwashed fellow citizens.

Addendum: I would cheer for them, but I do not have enough national pride to quit my job, return to the country and join them.

Without diving too deep into what such a sentence means in practical terms .. purely semantically it sounds a lot like consciously ignoring some inconvenient numbers, hoping they'll magically dissolve.

It'll "work" for some time and by "work" I mean, people will notice the bad effects but still put up with unsound government budgeting .. but it's surely not a healthy/stable dynamic of an economic system.
Pair this looking away with what is basically an imperative (because of climate crisis) to not further _increase_ the worldwide output of material goods but _reduce_ it (as long as most products aren't climate neutral, which will remain the case for quite some time) and you'll look at a dire prospect concerning prices/inflation.
This is a bit like asking whether a fire is deterministic or random. Sure, at some level there are processes happening that are either deterministic or random. At the level we observe, though, it's just a really complicated semi-predictable process.

I'd say that agency is your executive function's ability to take control of the actions resulting from that process. Someone who binges after starving lacks agency, because their executive function has lost control, while someone who holds themselves under a cold shower is exercising agency by staying there in violation of thermoregulation, pain, cold shock, or whatever else.

I don't think agency can be defined outside the context of the process that is you. Determinism and randomness are inherent in that process, and someone operating predictably still has agency so long as they're exercising control.
Indeed, they have lost. Question is, how much they are willing to take world with them?

Ukraine has huge, untapped gas reserves. If they start mining them - which they were about to before the Crimean invasion - then there's no reason for Germany and western Europe to keep doing business with Russia, effectively bankrupting the Russian state. I don't know what effect western companies leaving Russia now will have, given that the plants are already there - Russia will certainly still keep producing its own gas, with our without the west's help.

This is fundamentally another petro-war, all of the media/ideological stuff about de-nazification or the mighty Russian ethno-state is bullshit. It's money and oil.

It doesn't provide guarantees enough to give a good experience.

Basically it requires enough people with enough bandwidth to stream data to you. Not only that but those peers need to ideally be near you so that they can react quick enough to overcome packet loss.

So you have a choice as a provider, maintain a fast autoscale peer list(expensive), or force long pre-caching to make up for uncertain peer reliability(bad experience and or expensive).

P2P is not a good platform for providing realtime high bandwidth services, unless there is strong incentive to keep your peer running for as long as possible. with video, you're going to close it as soon as you've finished watching. for an hour long movie, thats fine, for a 30 second clip, its terrible.
So when the generals say, hey there's Finland, sitting there all by itself, right next to us. It'll take us two weeks, nice and clean. And Sweden's up next, we can get Ikea and Abba too. But we must hurry, in another month or two they might join Nato. Just sign here, mr president.

Btw if what you're saying is true, then that's all the more reason to replace Putin with someone who's capable of keeping the military in check. They're never good masters.
I wouldn't bet on it, out 4k+ that Russia has in their arsenal, only dozens are needed to trigger a MAD scenario.

Also they have been investing in the nuclear program as well, creating devices like Poseidon[0] which could theoretically make an entire US coast unliveable.

The only winning move in nuclear brinksmanship is not to play.

See no reason why Russia should not be forced to withdraw completely - leaving Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk.
It's Ukraine time to retake their lands from the occupier.
If Russia withdraws, Ukraine is going to join NATO the second it's not in hostilities.

And it'll be accepted, because what Europe wants is not to have to sanction Russia so it can continue buying its gas. And that is now easier to do when Russia is locked out of being able to prosecute border wars.

That's the thing: the only interest anyone had in Ukraine not being in NATO was if Russia didn't cause more problems because it wasn't. That's gone.

Well, in a way that is the point here: exactly those people are the ones sent to the frontlines to 'die for mother Russia' when they actually really have zero skin in the game. But it allows the cosmopolitan part of the Russian population to pretend that there are no losses, because as long as it's only 'little Russians' dying it doesn't seem to matter to them.

They are as much a victim here, but still they are victims on the very, very wrong side of this war. Some of those kids captured by the Ukrainians are likely not even 18 and are clearly from the far eastern part of Russia.

And that is also why I don't think there will be an uprising in Russia: the cosmopolitans will find it easier to believe the propaganda than to rise up because effectively they can make themselves believe this isn't their war. Yet.

And it is very dangerous question right now. What will Putin do if they consider joining, just before agreenment? Instead of eliminating one country, he might have lost three countries for Nato instead. Will he send some small warning Nukes into Finland as last hope?
As a word of warning, when HN discovered my search engine, I was hit hard by a botnet within a few days. Saw about 30-40k queries/hour from some 10k IP addresses. I'm self hosted so the worst that happened is my search engine was a bit slow, but if I was cloud hosted I'd have a very sizable bill to pay.

Results are heavily weighted to HN and Stackoverflow right now because they are the easiest resources to access and rank. Since posts have a score on both platforms, it's easy to pull out some 'authority' signal.

There's many more web pages coming. They are much more difficult to get ahold of and rank though because I need to run my own crawler to fill in what Common Crawl doesn't have and then calculate my own site authority rankings.
It's a Ukrainian company, even though they are registered in multiple nations. 95% of the employees are in Ukraine. They (their actual city and homes) are being bombed by Russia and Russians. Even if they had 5% of their company in Ukraine, it's reasonable to not provide service to companies that enrich the people bombing their employees.
>If Russia withdraws, Ukraine is going to join NATO the second it's not in hostilities.

Ukraine has spent the last two years begging NATO to hurry up and approving their accession and Putin sitting on the border with tanks for three months only served to make Zelensky more insistent.

I suspect NATO would be a lot more willing to let them in in one piece than if they were militarily destroyed, but who knows.
It would be interesting to see it on the EU level and for other countries (I understand finding the data is the hard part). There's been a lot of migration and millions of people live outside of their countries.

You are correct. 2021 alone would have sold well over a billion smartphones each with a display, OLED or LCD.

Electrophoretics just doesn't get investment because plainly speaking, the physics limits what it can do, and so nobody wants to invest big money into it.

You want improvement, somebody has to risk big money.
While I wouldn't call Russia justified at all, Ukraine presented a number of threats to Putin's desire to be a superpower. The main threat to Putin is Ukraine's growing but still undeveloped natural gas resources. One of the biggest parts of the Russian economy is fossil fuels. There's large amounts of underwater gas right around Crimea that are now under Russian control. And there's large deposits of shale gas in the eastern edge of Ukraine that Russia could at least disrupt long term with the war. On top of that, Ukraine charges Russia tariffs on the Soviet era gas pipelines running through it.

If considering NATO a threat, the further west Russia can put it's troops, the easier time it would have defending it's territory. The flat open lands of northern Europe expand the further east you go, all the way to the Urals. If they have troops at the western end of Ukraine, then it's a smaller front line to guard with the Carpathian mountains to the south and the Baltic sea to the north.
I disagree. I find mentoring weaker team members much easier over remote. They are not crammed into my cube trying to take notes, we can cut and paste back and forth, we can talk without disturbing the rest of the office.

I don't see the issues people keep insinuating.
China going on land grabs is in the near future, it's a structural necessity. At best, this delays it only a few years.

There is no good outcome here, there are only terrible and bad. The largest threat in the world today is China -- it's rise to superpower is going to be a larger catastrophe than this one.

Russia just wants NATO out of its backyard, that's a cheap price for Russian allegiance on China. It would've been in the wests interests to give them it; letting Ukrainians live.

Russia will take it anyway, and now, the price will be much higher for everyone. China will exploit this to the full, and the west has only won here a minor strategic battle.

Geez, you guys are really deep in your conspiracies aren't you? Trumps advisors were plenty warhawks themselves. Remember John Bolton and Pompeo?

They wanted it torn up and there was no secret agenda of Russians involved. The way they justified it was to say that Russia doesn't abide by it anyway, therefore we're just making it official.

But that's just the US perspective. It's possible that Russia was looking forward to it as well, who knows. But in John Boltons book he wrote that the Russians were surprised and he was quite proud of it as well.

I'm not sure it's that simple. The bombs probably don't "barely work" at 10% of explosive power. It's more likely that 90% of them do not work at all, and 10% of them do. Numbers made up without basis.

Russia starts to look very awkward if they launch a nuclear attack and it does not work. What happens next? The loss of credibility drops substantially with each attack. I think, for this reason, a nuclear attack on ukraine is not likely to happen.
Totally, that is called diplomacy.
It could be really to generate synthetic data for semantic segmentation tasks.
Yeah I don't really think it's ever been an accident.
Lets hope its 4D chess. Putin wants to destroy Russia so it can be reborn as a pacifist winter tech wonderland, because everyone finally did the math and having a giant military and a stack of nuclear weapons is more expensive than peace.

Sadly I don't think it'll play out that way,
