there is no correlation, airforce is easier than on ground logistics, they fly and land at the same place

The factors in World War 2 were much different, public sentiment didn’t matter. Nazis would have taken Poland in 1939 and pursue the Soviet Union sooner, it was inevitably a World War. World War 1 was editable.

World War 1 was very much avoidable. Time and time again World War 1 has been called unnecessary because the original dispute that triggered the conflict was limited.
It’s funny to read all of these contradictory comments about which company pays better (or is more “stingy”) than others. This comment and the parent comment are saying the exact opposite of each other, but I fully believe each person’s experience.

So what explains it? I would guess both commenters got higher offers at the other company because they did so as part of the job search process instead of via the within-company promotion process.
That's fantastic for Fedora desktop users. I don't expect you'd know, but is there a way to get the same quality of information via a CLI command?

Russian doctrine is to rubbleize but with artillery and unguided rockets.
My dad told me that when he was in the Soviet army that this was fairly common. All the equipment had bits and pieces (especially fuel) that mysteriously went missing and appeared among the local populace.
I think the patterns and consequences of American racism has resulted in a lot of what would be class tensions elsewhere being subsumed into race tensions in the US. The system is the US has resulted in a very high correlation between being working class and being Black or Latino. So a lot of stereotypes and harassment of working class people have been applied to that group, as well as on the other end attempts to improve the situation.

2022 - 2016 = 8 years
Is the word "plan" intentional, or a translation for some other concept?
No because you're still thinking about it in terms of personal economics when actually it's about power and violence.

If you must sell your labor to pay for the requirements of life, then you're vulnerable to being denied access to that transaction and will suffer the consequences.

The marxist analysis is limited in some ways but in this one it is a clarifying advantage. It doesn't matter, for some purposes, how much you earn if you must earn it to survive.

If you've earned enough that you can buy a bakery on a whim, or stop working entirely, then your economic interests are rarely if ever going to align with people forced to sell their labor and so you've partially or completely transitioned to something else, I think.
> There needs to be some kind of law that mandates that a company MUST reply to customers and/or users within a given time and offer a proper redress process.

It wouldn't do any good. The legally-mandated reply would just be another auto-generated form letter.
In Kill All Others[0] (excellent), there was only one Party, but everyone must vote for it anyways, as a gesture of approval and submitting to the authority.

It is worth mentioning Jan Hus: Orthographia Bohemica, 1406 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographia_bohemica which introduced diacritical marks to facilitate expressing all the sounds of Slavic languages in Latin alphabet by single symbols. They have logical phonetic meanings, for example háček (the hook) indicating the placing of the tip of the tongue on the palate. Though, admittedly, they are somewhat inconvenient on modern keyboards, usually relegated to the top row.

Jan Hus was later burned at the stake for his 'heresies', which probably slowed down the uptake of his eminently useful invention in the rest of the world.

It is my opinion that even English more than 600 years later could benefit from it, as in: 'caš ček' instead of 'cash cheque', thus also finally attaining much simpler, logical and phonetic spelling.
Is it?

What rational reason would the Russians have for being able to establish air superiority, but preferring not to do so?
so true - here is one of their obsolete drones throwing a firecracker:

That's very fair, and I am just noting that people like to "both sides" problems when as far as I can tell the democrats are fucked up and the republicans are actively acting as traitors to the nation.

I am not happy with either, but I don't really compare them in the same sentence.
Most of the states in eastern Europe have been victimized by the Russians. All the countries which aren't partially controlled by Russians have tried to join the west (EU, NATO) to protect themselves from Russians.

Countries which weren't enthusiastic enough about joining the west (Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Georgia) are occupied by Russians.

Russians are the orcs. It is literally as simple as that.
When it's what we believe in, it's factual information. When it's the other camp's opinion, it's propaganda and misinformation.

You can't claim to be able to distinguish truth from falsehood if what you believe to be true is chosen before you even have the chance to form a rational thought. You're just proving it after the fact.
> Large companies have gotten away with paying under market price

This doesn’t make any sense.

What the large companies are paying is the market price. By definition.

It’s literally not possible for all of the big companies to be paying under market price at the same time. That implies some other prevailing market price somewhere else, yet we’ve clearly seen the highest salaries come from the big companies.

The big companies are paying whatever it takes to get the talent they need. That’s market price.
Is it worth it to try to get real news to Russian citizens? Apparently people are trying to post about the war in places that Russians can still access (e.g. reviews for high-end restaurants on Google maps). How much impact can this have?
>There's a huge difference: in Bush v. Gore, Gore stepped aside for the good of the country, choosing to respect the institution of the courts even if the decision was dodgy

And why would that be the better way to go about it?

Respecting an election you consider stolen that an institution favored to "respect the institution" means you're respecting a faulty institution - and encouraging similar behavior in the future.
They do not mention they war directly. It’s unbelievable. They are on Putin’s side.
Australia has had over the horizon radar for decades. Maybe there is a 2020+ version that is sufficiently fine grained to use for training to the target.
Pretty much none of them have a solid balance sheet, though. They are all selling hopes and dreams. When something is overvalued by a factor of 100 and goes down 80% it's still overvalued by a factor of 20.
Yes. Instantly. I keep all sorts of stuff in my car, from shopping bags to a trauma kit. When i am on alert (military) i keep a duffle bag full of my stuff so i dont have to go home before a snap exercise. And in a town of pickup trucks and suvs i enjoy being the smallest car on the road, especially when i see trucks in the ditch needing help. Ever seen a 2door honda pull an f150 out of the ditch? I have. I got a picture of that one in my office.
> Most of these things fall within Russia's known doctrine

That is statement begging for a source. Do you have one? What is Russia's "known doctrine"?
Agree. It doesn’t make sense.

If they aren’t struggling to hire and retain, they’re paying market rate. It’s as simple as that.
It's not.

They tried to take Hostomel and airports SE and SW of Kyiva and failed. They were going for fast strikes.

The failed to get the other airports (tried to land a cargo plane and it was destroyed) - thought they go to Hostomel it was only by landing literally 100 assault helicopters with 1000 soldiers.

That is literally 1/2 of their entire rotary fleet for a single, risky operation.

Since then, they've been mauled over and over around the airport and have actually made negative or neutral progress for 5 days.

So it remains to be seen if the balance of force can move in one direction or the other, I really wish the West would do more to make it more decisive.

In the meantime, the USA can pay $100-200K (i.e. per javelin/stinger/mlaw etc.) to have a large chunk of Russian Amour sent to the dustbin with not much risk, that's not such a bad deal at all.
That’s contingent on the number of waves being four and the number of years being two though.

I have no expectation covid is done. At a certain point you have to pay attention if it’s bad enough.

Pointing out double standards is not futile or pointless. It exposes the true intentions and interests of those who have them. In this case, for example, the double standards of Western governments and elites show that they do not really care about the suffering of people, rather they act based on their (geopolitical? economical? general?) interests. So, in some occasions they themselves help destroy countries and have no problem with it (Not caring about people's suffering: confirmed), then an opponent creates suffering and they react (is it because of the suffering? No, they proved they do not care.). It is relevant to this, past and future situations, because it helps (those who wish to understand things, at least) shake off pretenses of the various players and see the real motives clearer. Repeat for any other section where double standards exist to get a clearer picture.
However, despite the apparent lack of technical capability, ‘dumb-iron’ has inflicted an horrendous amount of damage and the potential to wreak significantly more carnage in Ukraine.
Wow, if Yandex is shutdown on NASDAQ for more than 5 days, they have to repay more than $1.25 billion in debt.

Seems pretty fast.
I'm not sure that's true. A lot of Abrahamic religion is about prioritizing prayer over work. Over the physical world in general.
There has to be a more consumer friendly way for businesses to get their products known by potential customers than advertising.
Are we to believe that you don't understand object permanence? Your argument amounts to "certain images of this event appear peaceful".
If they quit a job anytime something happens contrary to what they believe, they'll will switch jobs every week.

Sorry, are you saying that it is common for people to bribe insiders to bypass policy and hurt their competitors? This is the first time I've heard a story like this.
I don't know what the difference between a "special operation" and "war" is, but I do strongly think that if you already have committed 100k+ troops, thousands of tanks, hundreds of helicopters, lots of artillery, and are lobbing cruise missiles into cities, then adding on an air component doesn't materially change it's classification.
As a parent I must say, that’s an extremely generous characterization of YouTube Kids.
I didn’t see myceliated sawdust density, but in general it looks like Fungi are stripping carbon from the growth medium so generally end up lighter when dried. Myceliated sawdust is also a solid material which can have void spaces around the object. For example, formed into spheres it should provide ~25% void space.
I think you are seriously mistaken as he has been keeping a constant message for years and has not changed. I think this is just one of those "you don't want to be right" situations.
For some time. Until they rebuild the army and try again. The problem is not Russia. The problem is Kremlin and their strong arm from Lubyanka Square. They rule that country, like a private property.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of complicit individuals. Individuals who benefit financially from this system. Oligarchs being the extreme example. Those people will do anything to protect their status.

They know they are nobody without the bling of the Western world. So they will swallow what happens now, curl their tails, stay silent for 10, 20 years, but they’ll probably try again. An average Russian will be kept in the dark, like it was until now.

It’s all about money and power.

The only way this can ever change is another revolution and making all 100+ years of their archives fully transparent to the public. But keep in mind, I’m not calling for a revolution. Merely sharing my thoughts.
Oh I have lots of friends at FAANGs. I also have lots of friends no longer there. The one thing I’ve learned is that people still at the company always assume that their team is fairly typical.

So all the hard workers describe the place as hard working. All the slackers describe it as relaxing.

Among the ex-FAANG, the hard workers describe their team as slacking. I don’t have any ex-FAANG slacker friends. They just stayed.

I’ve got 10 years of friends here and I’m fairly social so I think I’ve gotten a somewhat large sample, at least (if not unbiased).
They claim they didn't have to change anything though?

The fact that people keep trotting out this idea about the future potential of NFT gaming is evidence that people know basically nothing about making video games or the assets that go into them. And neither do the founders of any NFT projects with the rate at which they crash and burn if they aren't outright scams.
"js-info" is just an informal name for something that isn't a separate distribution. It is part of the latest texinfo release (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/ - currenty 6.8) as well as the git sources (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git).

Specifically, what I call js-into is the "js" directory in the source code: info.js, modernizr.js, and info.css.
Should be interesting in this year's US midterms to see how much reported income is in US elections compared to 2018
Good looking post processing used to be exclusively reserved for movie studios with render farms. Then it became available to any YouTuber with a PC and a license (or not) of Adobe. Now the average phone can do more impressive special effects for Snapchat filters than big budget movies had not long ago.

I'm convinced that deepfakes will be as easily generated as a Snapchat filter within a few years, substantially less time than society will require to adjust to this reality.
Voters still ultimately decide.

Not all voters are equal, but if people dont like you, you won't win
That's like saying the lock on the front door did not prevent intrusion because the burglar went in through the window.
Meanwhile, I see no accusation of any side here. It’s correctly observed as a global trend that spans the political spectrum.

Approached Ukrainian checkpoint. Car got shot, no one got hit. Didnt spot any soldiers. Couldnt tell up from down.

Unequivocally blamed Russians, quality journalism. Sadly this video is as convincing as that fake 'russian press getting shelled' one from the first day of invasion.
Sounds plausible. Also in a kleptocracy there likely are opportunities to siphon loads of cash away from military programs and short-change equipment and training needs. An oligarch might think, "Russia will not need to wage a sophisticated air campaign any time in the next fifty years! The slop trough buffet is open!"
I think what they're saying is that base comp was artificially lower because of rapidly growing RSU value

It doesn’t help that the US system can have a winner who didn’t get the majority of the vote.

There are a number of aspects of the US voting system which are less than perfect, and that’s just one.
Precisely. There's no resistance in the air, and Ukrainian air defense is almost non-existent, having suffered lots of damage on day 1. So, there's barely any need for fighters. Note also that Russia tends to bring in lots of mobile air defense units to support the air from the ground (unlike US which usually relies more on fighter jets for the same purpose).

Then, if the point was to carpet-bomb and annihilate the entire territory, NATO-style, it would have been done already. Destroying singled out targets like munition depots or teletowers doesn't require engaging more than a few jets here and there.

It seems like helicopters seem to be heavily relied upon (in providing mobility, recon, convoy support, etc) - but that's a different story.
That applies to Trump's response to the 2020 election too.

He's a private citizen now, so his tweet equivalents and lawsuits don't matter
The Ukrainian air capabilities are attacking the supply line, like the fuel trains on the south. The long column of Russian vehicles outside of Kiev is stuck for several days because logistics. Without fuel it's not going to be anywhere. There're assessments that Russia will run out of supplies to run the war further by this Sunday. At the end the vehicles will likely be just captured.
This was supposed to be a layup for Russia (90% success) and it's looking like a coin flip (50%).

The world is sadly more complicated than that. Often people's principles contradict each other, especially when it comes to bad actors. Consider the person with a principle of non-violence who is still willing to fight to defend their family. Are they a hypocrite?
Good luck taking payments in Russia, then. Not to mention being registered in Europe but doing business in Russia is a huge, huge, huge issue - you are one shipment or IP transfer away from being raided for circumventing the sanctions.
All you say is true, but the radar and flak installations were not particularly mobile. THe Allies _did_ hit nightfighter bases which are definitely not mobile, but didn't seem to prioritise such strikes that much.
I mean it depends I guess. If it can make perfect judgement, never hit pedestrians or people riding bikes even if it's dark and rainy, then maybe. My bias is heavily toward living in the city so as far as that goes I would rather remove cars as much as possible than make them autonomous.
No, they wanted to quickly decaptiate the government, kill Zelensky and install Yanukovich, who is waiting in Minks to return.

Then, Putin will have re-established Ukraine as a vassal, and have a Neo Russian Empire which the Russian population will chauvinistically and enthusiastically accept. 'We have freed the Ukranians' is what they can tell themselves even though clearly the Ukrainians are willing to literally fight to the death indicates otherwise.

Correct in that they don't want to 'occupy' anything, that's expensive. They thought Ukraine would capitulate quickly.

Evidence for this points to the fact Putin had to call up Chechen units, marshall units from far away, get Bealurus soldiers involved, and the fact he's still losing a few aircraft every day and does not have air superiority, which surely he would like to have established.
Isn't it easy to just create another account?
I am sure there will be an upward migration for Telegram now. Signal for those who prefer it. Threema, surprisingly, doesn't get any mention here.

If it's nonsense, then why censor it?

If it's not nonsense, then why censor it?
Screw them. They maintain the news.yandex which on purpose ignored the war and presented the government view on the situation. (and for last few years they never showed any kind of news associated with dissidents like Navalny, or other unpleasant for government topics). So yandex deserves what they get, they are complicit.
Obviously there are a lot of good people working in the company, but they'll find new jobs, as they are at least not dead or displaced, like a million refugees from Ukraine.
I use full synthetic engine oil for cold weather startability, primarily.
Ukrainians using anti-tank weapons to fight on their own land against a different nation trying to take ownership of the country is the definition of defence.
I think once your an international multi billion dollar monster corporation, we should have serious checks and balances. And we did but now all of those checks are paid off to ignore anti competitive practices and abuses. Make career lobbyists illegal. Also, politicians should not be able to buy stocks, let them have a 401k but no picking stocks.

Segmented Sleep Makes a Comeback During the Pandemic
I think the point is that WWI was precipitated by a chain of events that could have, in theory, easily been interrupted if the belligerents had been sufficiently fearful of conflict.
There's nothing wrong with a long, drawn-out fight through the proper channels. A couple of months is not really a long, drawn-out fight by the standards of the American legal system anyway. Gore owed it to everyone who voted for him to fight for his win to the full extent of the law, which he did. When that was exhausted, he stepped aside and stepped out of the public eye for a long time. He did not push beyond the limits of the law, he did not rally his supporters against the new administration, he did not immediately start running for the 2004 nomination. When he finally did start making news again, it was, as you said, 6 years later. Bush had already been reelected with no interference from Gore. He didn't reopen any wounds, "An Inconvenient Truth" was not a political statement, it was not a diatribe against his political foes, it was not a platform on which to build another run for president. It was a return to the core issues that drove him earlier in his career. Issues that should be non-political in the first place.

To say "Gore is better than Trump on this" is to imply that they are both operating in the same universe, just on different levels. That is a false premise. There can be no comparison here.

It scares me, that some of us actually enjoy the killing and the carnage.

The problem of newspeak is that most of us don't see it, until it's too late. When we feed the machine with our fears, it will cut us off.

Most of us still like each other.
Did he say anything on the topic of the book?
My 2 Yen: I wonder if Putin is holding back his fixed-wing aviation as a strategic reserve, so he has some conventional combat power he can commit in case of NATO intervention, before escalating to tactical nukes. He may have assessed that Ukraine could be taken without risking his expensive modern birds (Su-34, Su-35) or any of his big nuke-capable bombers.

This isn't to say the Russian Air Force doesn't have the problems mentioned. Those are all legit issues. I just think there might be some deliberate decision-making (even if we assess that those decisions were erroneous) on top of that.
