This is the only way out for India given that it is now caught between a rock and a hard place.

The mess created by US/EU/Russia/Ukraine is their problem and cannot be allowed to affect the Indian Economy and People. You created your problems and hence solve them yourself.

India has always been a responsible international player (has the World forgotten how India supplied it with Covid vaccines without stockpiling for itself which led to it suffering from a horrendous 2nd wave?) and if sanctions are imposed on India, things will go "further south" in the World. India is poised to be the next "manufacturing hub" of the World (with China now playing hardball) and it is to the World's advantage that they do not do anything to hurt India's economy in particular; the "Farming Sector" is sacrosanct (more than 50% labour employment - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India#Sectors).

For those interested, Wikipedia as usual is a good starting point to understand "Indian Economy" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India
There used to be a time when the US and Europe were dream countries, millions of people always considered them to be the safe havens duly protected by the best laws. This made those countries prosper, as anyone who had high earnings from third world countries would immediately invest them into first world ones, the best minds would come and work there.
Now everything changes quick. Russians, even anti-Putun ones figure that nobody needs them in the West, and the protections by law no longer exist. Next is the rest of the world.

Also, as a fairly young kid using MacPaint, I never really understood that the icon for the fill/paint can tool literally represented paint being poured out of a can; it always just looked like a unique, sort of abstract cursor shape to me. It wasn't until decades later using Pixelmator with its more photo-realistic tool icon (with the paint pouring out the opposite side) that I connected the dots on why the fill tool looks the way it does. It does give me sympathy for younger folks during the period of time when "Save" was still commonly represented by a floppy disk.

Love the hectoring by the West on the death of India's standing as a global actor, downgrading of India's democracy etc. etc. because of India voting its own interests at the UN.

Remember in March, 2020, China occupied (disputed) Indian territory and the two Asian giants fought a brief border war. Which western "liberal" Western power supported India? Right, none, other than urging the two powers to sort it out.

The same West for decades has armed Pakistan whose secret services turned Indian cities into regular 9/11 reenactment theaters before the West knew the term 9/11, all with blessings of their CIA and MI6 partners. Bomb blasts in Indian cities would regularly kill hundreds of civilians [3]. They looked the other way even when presented with incontrovertible evidence because Pakistan was key to containing the Soviets.

In 1971, the Pakistani Army unleashed a genocide in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) to contain the freedom movement and killed 300,000 mostly Hindu Bangladeshis. Far from stopping it, the US and the UK dispatched Nuclear armed naval strike forces to defend the Pakistani right to commit genocide. All documented in the famous book by American Diplomat Gary Bass, called "The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide"[1]. He was (famously) fired for protesting American Policy supporting genocide. Just like when the CIA and MI6 got the democratically elected Mosaddegh govt. in Iran deposed in 1954 in favor of the autocratic Shah because the Shah was more suited to their ideologies than the left leaning but democratically elected govt [2].

Indians understand that the West is about liberalism and democracy when it supports their interests and not when it does not. They are just doing what any rational state actor does - using all levers of power and influence to pursue their own interests.

Today, most Indians DGAF what "liberal" democracies in the West think about them, because to them the West is neither liberal nor democratic when it comes to people other than their own kind.

I am saying that sanctions on Russia will not affect any Ukranians dying or not. They will strictly make Russian "common people" suffer, and won't hurt their political elite either, and will likely make it stronger.

A way to remove any pre-text for wars like these is to allow secession by the UN, and to specifically allow regions (regardless of any existing drawn-up province/state borders) to split out in a democratic poll, with some costs involved (eg. repaying any investments in the region as if it was a loan, possibly land-resources tax based on percentage of GDP or something, but also some guarantees like no excessive tax on imports or visas for seceding regions).

Then there would be no Ukrainian claim on separatist-controlled regions in the East, and no Russian claim on the rest of the provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk that separatists control 1/3 of.

Basically, all the wars in Europe since the 90s were strictly led about territories with majority population of a region not being majority population of the country (Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, now Ukraine). In the short term, it would have led to a bunch of "city-states", but like throughout history, they would re-unite and separate ad infinitum: as long as we can figure out a fair financial framework (that's less costly than war to all parties, otherwise, war will be resorted to anyway), there's nothing wrong about countries splitting up or reuniting.

Of course, just removing this pre-text for the war (he's "saving" Russians who live in Eastern Ukraine) might not have stopped Putin. But without knowing what "excuse" they'd come up with, I can't argue what the best course of action would have been.

The best course of action today is to recognize these realities, and work toward agreements that put this ("these parts of Ukraine are independent") into effect. That's going to be pretty hard to happen though.
What is most ridiculous about all the rules of security theater is that its toothless. I have seen multiple people jump the security line, just walk up around it and throw their stuff on the conveyer ahead of people, then they walk immediately into the scanner cutting off whoever was about to get in next. Some people in line say something out loud but most people just stand there stunned. TSA agents didn't even flinch. I think they are trained not to confront people who line jump, and the line jumpers are taking advantage of that big time, at least at the big busy airports.
I got an amazing reference from a reader on the narrow waist article [1]. I asked for the origin of the idea, and the first 10 minutes of this video have a very convincing story by Internet engineer Van Jacobson.

Watching NDN’s Waist, 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69p78tfm29o

Summary: Jon Postel not only made the analogy, but he did much of the technical work and engineering leadership!

As designed by Cerf and Kahn, TCP/IP was one protocol. Postel argued for IP to be separated as the narrow waist. And then he spent the next 20 years as RFC editor keeping features out of it.

This RFC by Cerf confirms Postel’s huge influence!

-----

I added a second addendum saying this, and I might amplify this more in future posts, since it’s a great story with lessons for modern times:

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/02/diagrams.html#whats-the...

The point of the post was that people have to TRY to design powerful and minimal things – it’s difficult engineering work. And this is a very concrete story about people who did exactly that!

Jacobson also mention the vendor lock-in incentive, which is in direct opposition, and is sadly why more people don’t understand this.

Interesting the difference a few years can make. In this preface Orwell claims the Ministry of Information attempted to suppress its publication around 1944; by 1950 the CIA had purchased the film rights. They eventually funded a feature-length animated film adaptation that was released in 1954[0]

> And Putin's goal is to end up begging China for food?

I wouldn't be surprised. It will just be branded as something else. Unless China slaps equivalent sanctions, Russia will likely become a Chinese vassal. Future generations of Russians will grow up learning how China saved them from "Western aggression".

It has never happened, so the best we can do is speculate with what we know. The US and Russia did conduct some atmospheric nuclear detonations that unintentionally created EMP's. And determined yes it would be a bad day.

From https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_030...

"The critical national infrastructure in the United States faces a present and continuing existential threat from combined-arms warfare, including cyber and manmade electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack, as well as from natural EMP from a solar superstorm. During the Cold War, the U.S. was primarily concerned about an EMP attack generated by a high-altitude nuclear weapon as a tactic by which the Soviet Union could suppress the U.S. national command authority and the ability to respond to a nuclear attack—and thus negate the deterrence value of assured nuclear retaliation. Within the last decade, newly armed adversaries, including North Korea, have been developing the ability and threatening to carry out an EMP attack against the United States. Such an attack would give countries that have only a small number of nuclear weapons the ability to cause widespread, long-lasting damage to critical national infrastructures, to the United States itself as a viable country, and to the survival of a majority of its population." [Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), Executive Report, July 2017]

It is not different, it’s exactly the same situation. The hypocrisy of lots of the comments here is insane.
> here you are making a comment that implies desperate Indians are hired with zero qualifications for the job only because they are desperate

I’m not implying Indians are desperate. Plenty of Indians work all across the American economy and contribute as much as any other ethnicity. I’m making a claim about Amazon hiring practices, especially with Indian transfers. Amazon pays below other top tech companies, and we paid Indian transfers at the bottom of our own pay scale.

I’m not making any claim on these Indian people’s technical qualifications. Between two different candidates, a corporation goes with the one that they can get away with paying less. That’s the reality.

Based on your name, I assume your Indian. If you’re offended, don’t attack the messenger. Your issue is with corporate America.
And with all of the sanctions against the financial connections to Russia, it seems like there will probably be lots of complications in even doing business with Russians. Purely from a business standpoint I can understand cutting off the market if you think they're unlikely to be able to pay easily, and then the idea that a predominantly Ukrainian company would be expected to put up with this is ridiculous.

Ok, this covers my end. What about the broadcast end? It's not like they can collapse down the antenna and bury the transmitter in an ammo can when the antenna is a couple hundred feet tall and permanently attached to the transmitter.

Is there some kind of national contingency plan for this or something whereby there's a a way to get critical radio infrastructure back up after a nuclear exchange?
> they insist in doing everything themselves because no other project is good enough

They are making an alternative store with better security and privacy properties than both Google Play and F-Droid. Why is this problematic?

> Updates are forced to the latest version of Android

On Pixels (the only devices GrapheneOS supports at the moment), only the latest version of Android receives security updates, so GrapheneOS must stay on the latest version to meet a baseline level of security. Each Android release also comes with security and privacy improvements along with further restrictions to the app sandbox.

> does not seem safe

How is GrapheneOS not safe?

> does not feel stable?

In what way?

> less customization than other ROMs

Yes, because GrapheneOS is not focused on customizability. This will be improved in Android 12L.

> a bit aggressive towards root

Root fundamentally cripples the Android security model, so being a security-focused project, this is the proper stance to take.

Honestly I'm not sure why you're complaining about GrapheneOS in this thread. The article is written about F-Droid by someone who is not a GrapheneOS developer. They pointed out F-Droid's issues and mentioned upcoming alternatives without these issues. I don't see how one of those alternatives is an "exercise in craziness," nor how GrapheneOS itself is relevant to the article.
Agreed. While I politically agree with the Namecheap CEO in this case (which by the way, is a total coincidence), I'll move all of my domains out of Namecheap for the likely scenario that in the future the Namecheap CEO won't agree with me politically, since apparently now arbitrary political opinion determines if I can do business with them.

I know several people with HM Aerons and I always see them leaning all the way back, using it like a reclining chair. It makes me hesitate about these chairs. Personally I have a HM Mirra and I feel it is a superior chair. To my previous point, Mirra's design seems to encourage more straight-up sitting style rather than gratuitous reclining. Another advantage are the adjustable arm rests, which can rotate inwards (good for laptops) or outwards (good for desks) depending on your situation. Makes me wonder if the Aeron might be a little over-hyped.
Regarding the example under "Reactivity, not lifecycle hooks":

Does the <Counter /> component reference the same outer "count"? So is "count" here global or local to the component? In other words, what is the scope of "count"? Does it change based on where it is placed? If I create multiple <Counter /> components, do they all reference the same "count" or is it different for each component?

Sorry this question might seem naive if you are experienced in SolidJS. I haven't given SolidJS a shot yet (though it is on my list of things to check out).
> While the sanctions might form a bit of a blip in the Ruble, it's not going to affect most people's lives particularly dramatically, it may just slow the economy down in largely imperceptible ways to the general population

Every Russian economist I'm reading is in mourning (you can see it in their faces) and is promising a severe commodity deficiency and high prices on consumer goods in the near future.

I think they expect something like the beginning of the 90s, but even more severe, close to zero outside help, and low chances for recovery.

All of my Russian friends have been in panic since the 24th. I am too, honestly, I have already lost 25% of my income (which was not very high even before) for not doing anything wrong and just being close to Russia.

(I support Ukraine and the Western response, but we'll be collateral damage nevertheless.)

Lack of association between pandemic chilblains and SARS-CoV-2 infection
CRISPR is the generic name for a system of proteins and RNA found in bacteria. It was discovered by Francisco Mojica. They all chomp viruses' DNA.

Different bacteria have different proteins.

Among these proteins the most interesting is the CAS-9, isolated "in vitro" by the teams of Jennifer Doudna and Emanuele Charpentier. They also showed it could be programmed to handle different DNA sequences. Feng Zhang then proceeded to do the same in vivo, with eukaryotes, months after.

Doudna and Charpentier filed the application first but the Broad Institute filed it with a express requirement so they were granted first.
only place where this should happen is China since they have a billion IPs that only connect within china anyways
> This feels like a weird point to make when solar power is as popular and growing as it is.

Funny (ironic?) thing about most the significant residential solar installations in my hood; they exist because they're grid-tied and generate revenue for the households.

If there were no grid for these homeowners to sell their excess power to, they wouldn't have bothered with installing and maintaining solar panels. It's not like there's zero risk involved, hell just having thousands of dollars of solar panels sitting on your roof alone is a big fat sign announcing "well-heeled folks reside here, break-in and pillage when absent". Not exactly the greatest thing to broadcast in the predominately low-income desert regions solar is most applicable to.
Strictly speaking that is the “correct” implementation of bogosort because it is deterministic (per my algorithms lecturer: for it to be an algorithm you must take the same steps each time for a given input. Obviously you could get around this by having the sort function take a seed and implement an RNG)
Again, see my previous post. Putting covid 8 times there (and no mention of any other disease or infection) is stupid and wrong.

Bleeding control, preventing infection of open wounds, and basic splinting of broken bones etc are all far higher priority on the medical scale anyway.

Why are you making excuses for this absurdity?
It seems clear that the answer is you are in danger of losing much more than a domain if Erdogan does something crazy. You're in danger of losing your ability to do business with other countries at all. You're in danger of being conscripted into the army and sent to your death (or dying resisting said conscription orders). Hell, you're in danger of the crazy thing just being Erdogan deciding to sentence you to death for a made up crime.

To some degree there are just inevitable risks in life, but it's absolutely in your interest to influence your government into doing as few terrible things as possible, and to move to one that does less terrible things, and I for one think that's a very good thing.

1984 is a great cautionary tale of fiction. I think it’s a misapplication of the medium to place the themes of a fictional narrative on top of reality though. Reality is way more complex than these broad stroke rebukes of intellectuals.

Fine. Then say so. Nowhere in his original post did he mention that. Instead he talked about human rights and war crimes.

Apparently, there is a policy about human rights and war crimes. Well then can you have him answer my question. Now that we cleared things up. Thanks.

It is not true of all projects _to the same degree_. Highly conventional, opinionated systems have a higher learning curve but yield a more consistent result given developers with inconsistent skill levels and investment in architectural design of an application.

That is a fancy way to say: React gets new devs productive fast, and so it has tons of them available for work, but that comes at the cost of producing more spaghetti that more experienced devs inevitably have to clean up.
