Completely agree. I think popular website owners should go even further and target content specifically to Russian IP informing them of the causalities in Ukraine and protests going around in Russia.

My understanding is that CO2 absorbs long-wavelength infrared energy and doesn't stop the rest of the radiation/light from hitting Earth's surface, while smoke and soot, being opaque, partially prevents the light from reaching the surface and reflects the energy back into space.

Go through the MyFirstMillion podcasts for indiehacker-like ideas that could make you fairly wealthy. There are a ton, and like others have pointed out, it seems what you are working on is very specific, very technical, and very context dependent (Rust, PostgreSQL, etc.).

It doesn't take brilliance (in the realm of ideas) to be financially successful. If you listen to this podcast enough, you'll realize how rich people have gotten doing some of the most low-hanging ideas.
Norway is the exception.
Excessive acceleration can be an issue for students. Being in a class with only people much older than you can be very challenging. Accelerating 1 or 2 years ahead (over the entirety of schooling) of the rest of the students is probably better than what enrichment can do. However, accelerating 5 years is probably worse than accelerating 2 years and doing a lot of enrichment.

Additionally, I think that jumping past a grade and succeeding in the higher one is rather difficult unless you are very gifted. Enrichment can make the eventual acceleration easier.

Disclaimer: I am not an education professional though; just someone who once was a gifted student.
OFC, I agree. But here no one is trully innocent and there were really borderline nazi laws on non Ukranian languages that even the Francoist Spain didn't have until we put the fascist regime back to the post war era and not the one post US relations.

Hope the war ends soon, the "rebel" provinces gets a referendum and if they opt to be part of Russia, they should have a clause to be Russian AND part of the European Union. Everyone wins. Russia too, even if it "hates" the West they need us the Europeans economically far more than a war mongering USA.

CO2 is transparent to visible light but not to infrared, so it allows sunlight to heat the surface of the earth but impedes its cooling. Smoke and soot is not transparent, so it blocks sunlight from heating the surface in the first place.
Particles are reflective to incoming visible light, while CO2 is transparent to incoming visible light but opaque to infrared radiation (heat).

I don't think the "pushing towards achievement part" is terribly important because anyone can act on a belief they hold. Had the comment included a value or quantity of resources that needed to be expended to be considered privileged, well, then that's a different discussion.

I caution against looking at numbers in any single way. The more different ways you can visualize math concepts, the better. Practice seeing them in different ways.

Sometimes numbers are for quantifying a pile of things, and 255 and 256 are basically the same.

Sometimes numbers are for cryptographically signing things, and 255 is extremely secure while 256 is completely vulnerable.

Sometimes numbers are for arranging tournaments, and 256 is a tremendously useful number while 255 is super annoying and you should look for another.

Sometimes numbers are stored in a single byte, and 256 (=0) is the friendliest number you will ever know, while 255's words are BACKED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Sometimes infinity is a useful number, sometimes it's not. Sometimes 1/2 is a useful number (pies), sometimes it's not (babies). Sometimes sqrt(-1) is a useful number, sometimes it's not. Sometimes the sum of all positive integers equals -1/12; sometimes that's stupid.

All of these situations may call for visualizing numbers differently.

> When type errors occur in production, the end result is the program crashing, nothing you can do about it.

Uh, you can catch the type error and recover (e.g., as with any other runtime failures, fail the incoming request that triggered the failure, unwinding the stack and reclaiming memory).

And, even if you didn't, crashing may be the ideal reaction: https://github.com/alefore/weblog/blob/master/software-corre...

There are many reasons to prefer static type checks; I just find this specific argument against runtime type checks flawed. Yeah, static type checks are vastly better than runtime type checks; but runtime type checks are vastly better than, uh, no type checks.
While I don't disagree with other commenters in that if this was ever widely used it could lead to the loss of functionality for all discord users and that anyone who did use it for anything more then experimentation would be abusing the good will of discord, I also think that it was a neat project and should have been better received by the community.

This is Hacker News. Maybe I'm too old school but this project feels exactly like something that would have been written up in the/one of the original "mainstream" hacker news sources, 2600 Magazine. It is the embodiment of the hacker/tinkerer spirit taking something that was made for one thing and building something entirely different on it.

I guess the biggest feedback to the OP is maybe if things were presented in more of a proof of concept demo with disclaimers type of way rather then "use this service" type of way it would be better received.

That said, while I don't plan on actually using it, I still think it was a neat idea and kudos for getting it working. Thank you for sharing!
The soot particles make the color of that part of the planet into a lighter color. In planet science, this is known as 'albedo.' A lighter albedo increases the amount of solar rays which are reflected into space.

There are proposals to use this to reduce warming, of varying seriousness. It's seen as a rather extreme measure though: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190220-how-artificially...

That all said, the degree of cooling predicted by nuclear theorists was overstated—not that overstating the destructiveness of nuclear weapons is so bad: https://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/23/science/nuclear-winter-th...
> Dual booting can have odd effects on Windows. The strangest I have encountered is that windows shuts down when it thinks it is rebooting, and reboots when I tell it to shut down.

That is because it is not shutting down. Go in (power) settings and change the settings to always do a shutdown when you shutdown ( default is to hibernate) and disable fast reboots.
Many people think that, in the time of the USSR, Russian chess players conspired to make sure a Soviet player won tournaments.

For example, they would try harder to beat strong non-Soviet players than to beat strong Soviet players, would throw away games to give a Soviet player more points, would offer a draw very soon to give a Soviet player time to rest/prepare for theirnext matig, etc.

The very worst schools in my city pay significantly better than the ones out in the "good" districts. They can do that because they get a ton of extra funding from the state and (I think) feds. I think the only schools that pay better than them are a small minority of the private schools.

It doesn't help much, because working conditions are so bad that anyone with options still doesn't want to work there. More funerals for kids. More 2nd-graders threatening teachers. More lockdowns over gun threats and such. More drug problems. More chronically-absent kids. More turnover among students. More horror-stories about home life. Most teachers who can afford to turn it down decide that their sanity & safety is worth more than an extra $8-12k/yr. Idealists who go in hoping to make a difference get their attitude adjusted fast. It's brutal, and money—at least, money spent on education per se—does not seem to be the solution.

Perfectly described and I went thru similar “existential crisis”. I would build off of this and add that taking a job is NOT an admission of failure or defeat in accomplishing your life dreams and goals. You can take a job, and still work on your business on the side. You might be surprised at how well the company you work for can teach you about business and operations and marketing to augment your endeavors. Good luck!
That's an argument for changing which tests are being bought, then.

Reducing war - full stop - would make even better sense.

Considering the fact that most wars - stated or not - are about natural resources (and the control there of), if these war wefforts (i.e., lives, money, time, etc.) were channeled into productive things, there would be plenty to go around.

The USA alone has an annual DoD budget close to three-quarters of a trillion dollars. Even if that was cut in half, that frees up resources for good (e.g., nuclear fusion).
Speaking as a former "gifted" kid, acceleration is a horrible idea.

I skipped a bunch of grades, got into MIT but went to a local college at 13 (who lets their 13-year-old live in a college dorm?), ended up working for a bit then going back to school with my peers.

If I could do it again I'd have taken _breadth_ instead of depth. Finished high school math? Good for me, now grab a third language. Bored in school? Off to a foreign country to learn by immersion. No courses left undone? Take six months and see if I can realize my dream of making the national team in my sport, etc.

Going deep is very risky. Eventually you end up at the end of the easy path of coursework and classes and are in the same place as everyone else (just a year or two earlier). Unless you're absolutely, positively sure that that specific area is where you want to spend the rest of your life, that head start wins nothing enduring.

Another issue with this logic is that the probabilities are not independent.

Saying that you have probability x of nuclear war every year and so probability (1-x)^n of no nuclear war in n years assumes independence. In fact, if you don't have nuclear war on year 1, I would assume that the reasons for that lead to inferences and correlations that would affect the probability of nuclear war on year 2, possibly making it lower.
I wonder if we will colonize Moon, Mars, establish some space colonies. Say 200 years from now. Will there be new nukes aimed at every Mars settlement just in case? At first I thought that space expansion will be our insurance from Earth nuclear war. But probably people never change.

I guess we need new ultimate defense against nuclear bombs. May be some intercepting drones which are cheap and impossible to avoid. That might render those nukes useless.
Russian nationals and teams have been removed from FIFA, IHL, and many other competitions. It isn't fair, but it isn't fair that Ukraine has had its sovereignty violated by an unprovoked invasion.

It is intrinsically biased to vet individuals based on their personal political beliefs, that seems like it would be worse. So the alternatives are to allow Russian nationals / national teams or to not allow them. These are extraordinary circumstances so I reluctantly support exclusions, and am deeply saddened by them.

It would be so beneficial to everyone if this horrible invasion ceased and the Russian army withdrew from Ukraine. They should stop killing innocent people for the goal of territorial expansion, and then the world can renormalize as quickly as possible.

You might be asking the wrong question. You could instead be asking: “Do you think this would happen if Russia wouldn’t have Nuclear Weapons?”

Deterrence works both ways. If it really deters a military action against you, then perhaps you can be the aggressor and be safe from retaliation as long as you threaten your nukes.
Regressing the mean and shrinking the margins between high performers and low performers doesn't elevate the performance of the bottom. It just lowers the performance of the entire system. You could even argue it disenfranchises the lower but forcing more top tier talent into their employment tiers.
I can't interpret your statements as anything else than oversimplified (almost to a primitive level) criticism of the attempt of civilized countries to stop a barbaric attack being openly continuation of earlier attack not treated appropriately when it was the proper time for it.
But of course they listen. The only issue is that the answer is always: scan for viruses and run Fixme.
It's possible that your information is flagged in a third-party risk monitoring system that these companies all use. Perhaps something like ThreatMetrix, from LexisNexis. There are others that operate in this space as well.

As for how to fix it, I'm not entirely sure. Since you are located in California, you might make CCPA requests to retrieve and then delete all of your data from as many companies as possible.
A difference is that Assange/Manning had to be spreading something true to be charged, whereas this targets anything "false".

Second, that aid was never held up and is separate from the Javelins that were sent anyway.

What other President sent Ukraine weapons (not blankets) before this fiasco?
Didn't America win the cold war because of cultural influence? Doesn't cutting Russia off also cut out that cultural influence.

Does a side benefit come with a differently censored internet Russia provides where copyright is ignored?
I agree with you. But there's the problem that the precedent already exists. That's what sanctions already do, way before Russia-Ukraine.
Germany just stopped it after Russia attacked Ukraine. Trump held it off with sanctions during his Presidency.

> Banning all Russian athletes is a clear decision.

Yes, it would be clear if you define "Russian". Do you mean everyone who currently holds a Russian passport? Everyone who has at some point held a Russian passport? What about someone who used to have a Soviet passport with their nationality recorded in it as "Russian" but who didn't live in Russia? What about people who used to have a Soviet passport and lived in Russia but with a different nationality in their documents?

(Apparently Russian passports up until around 1997 had a "nationality" field, like the old Soviet passports, so you could have a Russian passport with your nationality recorded as something other than Russian. Presumably you could officially be a Ukrainian citizen of Russia, for example. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the other former Soviet states also record nationality so you might be able to have a passport from Kazakhstan or Latvia that says "Russian" in it. I would hope, however, that nobody is seriously thinking of banning "Russians" while defining "Russians" to include people who have never had either a Soviet or a Russian passport.)

EDIT: I would guess that you'd probably want to define "Russian" for these purposes as someone who currently has a Russian passport, but perhaps it's not totally obvious that that's the right answer?
No, I didn't know about `.gifv` files, I will update the sites to use them!

This is where my 8yo is at now and it’s infuriating. He is in class all day at 2nd grade level and is given homework at 4th+ grade level but that means we our effectively his actual teachers. This also results in, as you say, everything is trivially easy or all of a sudden hard which has in general given him a complex around mildly difficult things and practice in general.
Probably in the EU, but that stuff gets squirreled in through private institutions here. Information clearing-houses like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. will take it upon themselves after encouragement from the media and the government.
