I'd wished they would have gone into some of the differences between a protracted was with the U.S. and Russia looks like.

It's seems like it is easier to point out how Afghanistan and Vietnam were able to draw out a long-term protracted war and out-will a democracy that (to a degree) follows the changing will of the people. It's especially easier given the lack of threat to the mainland that can be manufactured.

But what about against a neighboring oligarchy like Russia? How do you out-will the singular authoritarian leader and/or his small group of oligarchs?

No. Spaced repetition takes a structured approach to tackling the 'forgetting curve'. Relying on chance (ie. 'when you need it' accessing) to refresh info is not nearly as reliable.

"Closing off air space" always means "threatening to shoot down airplanes", and shooting down Russian airplanes in this context means war between NATO and Russia.

That setting up "no fly zones" in poorer African or Near East countries didn't register as an act of war to anyone is just because there were never going to be bombings, armored columns, nuclear strikes, or anything of the sort into a Western country as a result of instating them.

I don’t see anything in the link suggesting radiation is spiking?
I can only hope this gets extinguished as fast as possible, does anyone have resources pointing to safeguards at the facility or how this is likely to evolve?
Why is it not acceptable if a machine is not being used for its intended purposes and most people using it are for pirating games?

Why is there any notion of acceptability for a company’s rulings on how their copyrights should be protected?
I would argue that this is a near equivalence of nuclear war with Ukraine. A well-/mis-placed Russian artillery shell could cause a loss of reactor integrity and meltdown, no?

EDIT: according to child comments, a meltdown is unlikely/impossible, but spread of radioactive particles due to a direct strike is possible.
Maybe explosions?
Depending on your frustration and patience, you can do that with a screwdriver, a soldering iron, some electrical tape and some spray paint.
Long article, but the first part reads like the Ukraine playbook:

* Cede territory early and retreat to defensible positions

* Let the enemy rush in and attack their stretched supply lines from the flanks

* Let the people know you are still fighting and not defeated

* Prepare the people to fight a long guerrilla war

* When the enemy spreads out to take too much territory too quickly, counter attack

I really don't understand the Russian military strategy. Their strategy of taking slivers of territory seemed to be working in Georgia and Crimea. They could have taken Donetsk and Luhansk with little effort and much less worldwide condemnation. Then started the bribery, disinfo, threats, "security" offer process all over again in the next territory.

But driving full force to Kyiv seems like exactly what a much weaker army would want you to do.
The Nimbus was such a disappointing machine. At least the 380Z and 480Z looked like they came from a sci fi movie.
I do not understand, why are they fighting near the reactor? It only makes sense to keep troops of both sides away from something as dangerous.
No, freedom of the press means freedom of the press.

How the people of Russia Street, Seoul see the current war
We're seeing the exact opposite in streaming video. Everyone who owns video wants to have their own streaming service. From modern business perspectives this is a no-brainer. Even if an aggregator comes along, as soon as it is actually successful everyone will want to yank their videos off of it because they'll believe the aggregator is getting "too much" of the value.

What we're going to see is what we're already most of the way to; every single video producer with their own service. At best things like Netflix will continue to become the aggregator equivalent of the bargain bin, and even if Netflix surfaces something that didn't find an audience the first time but finds one on Netflix, it'll get yanked from Netflix merely for the very fact it became valuable being on Netflix.

I don't see that stopping. There's no business force that will stop it. There isn't enough perceived marginal utility by consumers to having a single aggregator to power an aggregator that can overcome the desire by the video creators to not have an aggregator between them and the consumer's wallet.

>Most private schools aren't set up to cater to gifted kids.

Just by filtering out the most disruptive kids, having small class sizes, and teachers aligned with the school, kids, and parents, you are catering to the gifted and the rest of the students as well.
>> That is, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in fact, has already begun a nuclear war, which the West was so afraid of. Now the latter should finally start to act.

>This is not a valid statement and I would like to ask you to remove it.

I second this sentiment.
I hadn't considered that perspective but it is brilliant.

Making requests explicit rather than veiled by an invisible contract is a good practice at work and in basically any kind of human relationship.

"The trash is full" vs "will you take out the trash for me?" Is a world of difference.

I realize that's not a digital download, but these titles were never offered as digital downloads, and Nintendo isn't obligated to use the exact format which suits your needs. (And while Nintendo isn't directly profiting from used sales, high prices on the secondary market make their new games seem like good investments.)

(If we were talking about WiiWare exclusively, I'd have a very different attitude.)
There are several companies doing this business specifically: users buy seek boxes from them, and they sell the bandwidth to us video streaming companies. They are just like CDN providers, but instead of buying bandwidth and server from the data center, they “buy” it from home users. I don’t think ISPs would like this, because it affects the business in their data center side.

IIRC the total usable bandwidth is about 10Tbps
> Radiation is spiking as well

Please don't make claims like this without a source
Protracted wars (i.e. long slow wars via hit-and-run and guerilla warfare) have been very successful in past to topal the mighty powers by far weaker forces. However, in recent times, I feel they are becoming much less effective. The electronic surveylence and automated targetting makes such warfare much difficult. This is especially the case because, (1) the ruling power will eventually control all communication and remove any free speech, (2) they will constantly find and kill leaders through electronic means which are now amazingly effective.

A much better defensive route is probably mandatory militery training of all able citizens. Eventually, most professional armies are in the size of million at most and only 100,000 or so get deployed. If you have a million citizens with militery training, you are way harder to beat.

Clearly, Tyler Cowen has his reasons for framing this issue in an inflammatory way. I suspect he didn't seek out any 44 open letter signatories for their feelings.

I simply see no way of keeping out Karjakin in an equitable way. I am tired of repeating myself about how I hate this situation, but the victims are not Russian grandmasters, they are Ukrainian children.

Yes, I was looking for this. When I started reading the OP's post I immediately remember Daniel telling how he visualize numbers.

If I remember well some natural talented musicians (that didn't do a lot of formal training), also see notes/music in colors.

This made me think if I had some special talent relates to this kind of visualization but the only thing I associate with colors are places, which might explain my good orientation skills but nothing more than that.

I have NetBSD on a IIci (128MB RAM, SCSI drive, Farallon Ethernet NuBus card). I use it for netatalk, and as an internal DNS, DHCP and printer server. Other than requiring a motherboard recap, it performs very well in this capacity. It's not fast, and I gimped it further by pulling the cache card (a source of instability), but it doesn't need to be.

It worked in Serbia.
Thanks. So what’s the historical norm on those numbers?
Probably not. Reactors generally can't melt down the way Chernobyl did anymore. The most significant risk is a breach of the reactor chamber fragmenting the fuel rofs and spreading radioactive particles around, or a hit to the spent fuel stores doing the same.

Neither are good, but they wouldn't be nearly as bad as Chernobyl or a nuclear weapon strike.
Some people will curse me, but I have used JSON-over-CSV a few times, it's a good compromise if your data is indeed mostly tabular.

To be clear, I mean encoding values as JSON, but the overall object structure in CSV, so something like:

1,"John Doe",false
2,"Daisy \"Obliterator of Worlds\" Wilson", true
Weird that the author mentions international support and the importance of inaccessible bases to Mao, but doesn't mention the ability of the Taliban or Viet Cong to hide in neighboring countries where conventional military force can't be applied. I expect that will also be crucial in Ukraine.

Yes, your direct PSS (passenger service system) or CRS (customer reservation system) could also be run by one of those two. But they aren't yet threatening to shut that down yet. So far, only the GDS bit is being turned off. There's speculation that what you're describing might happen.

They took some of Nagorno-Karabakh by force, not all. There are Russian troops there to act as the authority preventing escalation from either side. Yes, this is something Russia was able to accomplish better than other western countries, but only because they have immense control over their neighbors (see Ukrainian invasion), so there's little to commend them on. Also, from the Azeri POV and internationally recognized borders, they are securing their own territory, like Ukraine would if the government was able to enter separatist held Donbas. With that said, while the issues here are complicated, I will almost always side with the people's being aggressed upon. The matter of fact is that there was peace for many years until Azerbaijan sent military troops into Nagorno Karabakh, starting the conflict and many deaths, and that is inexcusable.
Education in this country is sad we can do better. I don't have a great solution.

Money doesn't seem to be a panacea; except wealthier parents and parents who care, which seems to be by far the biggest driver of good outcomes (and the opposite poor).

But a good gifted program usually has other support beyond just curriculum. It's not just because the other classes have to be dumbed down so much.

Maybe my experience isn't universal. I was in the gifted program. I was ahead in math (not by as much as many here) and very gifted at music. But was in basic english lol. Completely lazy i never did homework and just got along by being smart. So for me it wasn't totally about just being in advanced classes.

It was more the extra support we had and the benefit of grouping those like minded students together. Just as friends, being able to grow help each other, etc. Had weekly small group meetings too. Kind of like counseling and guidance other students did not get.

More hands on learning. Which was the only time I paid attention or put in actual work.

Got special permissions, like I got to skip classes to do music. Access to more resources and connections to summer activities or outside education.

We had a dedicated gifted staff person who doesn't teach, just facilitates.

Their program was super valuable to me and pretty well known. I think a big draw for the school
It’s what I remember the desk agent telling me. Who knows how much that person knew about the system (and even if my memory is 100% accurate).
From the Russian perspective, taking out Ukraine's power is strategic and demoralizing.

Though I think we're seeing the Ukrainians are fierce when cornered, so probably isn't the morale breaker they think it is.
Your creator doesn't exist. All rights are human abstractions, and the collective belief in them is a contract.
It’s better to hit a wall earlier, when teachers actually care how well you’re doing and the stakes are lower. Then, you can get guidance on how to start climbing that wall.

If Russia explodes a dirty bomb that plumes into nato countries, what happens?
I'm not sure that's the right answer.

The protracted Afghanistan war was "recent times", and likely involved technology that we civilians still don't know exists yet. Creating a larger standing militia is just trying to fight toe-to-toe against a superpower with more power, which still won't be enough to win in a quick decision.

If anything, utilization of improved surveillance should be prioritized more by the smaller force, to be more effective.
Why is Nintendo obliged to provide older content, or otherwise allow emulation?

If a company ceases to provide something, does that give you rights to acquire that something illegally?
Potentially. I'd worry more about coolant and power (to run the coolant pumps if the plant has to shut down) than about direct hits on a containment structure, but it's not like that won't eventually also cause problems if they keep doing it.

This is, so far as I know, the first time anyone has carried out a military attack on an operating nuclear plant. Nobody knows yet how that really plays out. But it looks like we all get to find out.
A few artillery shells probably won't breach the containment. Missile shielding is part of the plant design (I don't know what level of shielding; US plants are designed to withstand a strike by an airliner).

Not saying that the attack is thus acceptable, just saying that it will take a concerted effort to breach the containment.
As i see it, the real problem is the lack of a stable linux ABI for binary programs. Because linux does not have one, people need to play around with old distros and compilers to build something that will work on anything released after $SomeOldDistro.
I don’t ever remember the fear of covid among informed people being the mortality risk of under 40’s.

Well, Afghanistan was able to defeat the Soviets. I can't think of a guerrilla war since WWII that hasn't been successful.

Edit: some folks have mentioned several, so let me be more specific: guerrilla wars to expel an invading power. This would exclude several attempted Marxist revolutions, but good points made about Chechnya, as well as Northern Ireland and Kenya which failed to expel colonial powers.

Ok this is good to know, thanks for clarifying. While not nearly as bad as the two scenarios listed, spreading radioactive particles near a population center of civilians could be grounds to consider this a nuclear war, intentional or not. Not on the same scale as a deliberate nuclear attack of course.
There’s no such thing and fortunately your vision is completely wrong.

There is no such a thing as a base or perfect model, nor goal to reach, by cheating or not.

People who are usually referred as bad at math just need another perspective. They might not understand the dominant perspective.

Compare eg. Groethendick or Lebesgue work with their contemporary fellas. And then ask yourself: why are some people more comfortable and fruitful with one perspective but not some other. Is there some constructions of some fields that will suit better one or another group of the population. Do our brains internal structure mature at the same age… etc.
