Yeah, 6 out of 16 dollars... 37.5% cut.

But it seems like that's the best possible cut.

Also from FAQ:

>Our pricing of $25/hour, which goes down to $16 USD/hour when you purchase a bundle of 10 hour sessions, is split as follows:

>$10, regardless of the package, goes straight to our CPs.

and

> $25/hour if you purchase 1 hour

> $19/hour if you purchase 5 hours

> $16/hour if you purchase 10 hours

So a 60% cut or a 47% cut (!!!)

Yet all evidence suggests Russia expected the Ukrainian army to surrender quickly. They even prepared a congratulatory release for 3 days after the invasion.

Interesting mental model you made here, I like it! Stuff like this definitely helps get people into system 2 thinking instead of going with intuition and in this case that's probably a good thing.

I thought seeing charts of how the answer would change along with each slider value for a given value range might help as others have mentioned it's not too easy to answer the questions accurately. Could help handle uncertainty since people would then be able to understand the range of answers in between their "best case" and "worst case"

It’s unclear whether leave voters would have views about the detailed policy implementation of refugee schemes, but I doubt they would: 54% of leave voters agree that Britain has ‘a moral obligation to offer asylum to Ukrainian refugees’, and 67% support introducing a scheme to that end: https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/nag7zbuivl/YouGov%20-%20Ukraine%....
> I wish someone could tell me why Russia and the U.S. are not allies. Like, don't they largely share a similar cultural and religious heritage?

No, they do not. Culturally Russia has always ping ponged back and forth between seeing itself as European and not European. Currently Russia is on the "we're distinct from Europe and have our own unique and proud history" side of that equation. If you want more on this (extremely complicated) subject, read into the various Tsars that attempted to "modernize" and Europeanize Russia, such as Peter the Great. The backlash after his death towards his European preferences says a lot.

Religiously Russia is an Orthodox country, and it split off from Europe's Catholicism nearly a 1000 years ago. This split was both religious and political, aligning roughly (very roughly) with the divisions of the Roman empire into East and West. The Eastern (Orthodox) branch was originally centered in Constantinople (modern Istanbul), which even today we'd identify as a distinctly Eastern city. That alone should tell you why Russia sees itself as distinct from the rest of Europe.

Meanwhile the rest of Europe is either Catholic or Protestant, which itself split off from Catholicism half a millennium after Orthodoxy did. They're just not that close religiously.

> Seems like Russia and all countries that share similar cultures would be allies against China, with her 1.5 billion people . . . ???

Because international diplomacy and conflict isn't really as simple as pointing at borders and population counts. Yes, there has been some conflict between Russia and China, but by and large their population centers are a long, long way away from each other. There's a reason why Russia has fought basically three wars with China and dozens with Sweden alone; geography.

Meanwhile there are historical and personal reasons for Russia to turn West and specifically to Ukraine. Russia has a very, very long history in attempting to seize and hold Ukraine, as it's alternated back and forth between being a Russian owned territory and not. Take a look at the Kievan Rus, the ancestor state to both Russia and Ukraine, and coincidentally where Russia converted to Orthodox Christianity.
Maybe ask yourself why all of your closest neighbors are/were begging to join NATO.
Hello from Kyiv, Ukraine - I need to be completely open minded, and unbiased, to what is happening here (for my own life, and those around me).

In reality, this is an almost total disaster for Russia so far. No matter what, Russia will not recover from the last 12 days in the next fifty years. International support for Ukraine will only grow stronger. The scale of verified Russian losses was NEVER predicted by anyone prior to this invasion. Prior to invasion, the reports were almost entirely about how fast Ukraine would fall.

Now, everything is about "Russia is yet to send it's best, it's early days, etc" - from the same "experts" and talking heads.

With regards to what you have said, of course never underestimate your enemy, and yes it may sadly be on the early days, but you could do this to get one single data point of what is happening:

1)research and find the most likely estimate of Russian troop deaths so far.
2)using that number, estimate the number of injured Russian troops (military experts can help you here, wars are somewhat predicable with death/injured ratios).
3)add those two numbers together.

What number do you come up with, and show your workings please.
This has less to do with Brexit, and more to do with trauma from the Novichok poisonings in Salisbury and the earlier Polonium attack. I'm quite surprised that we haven't seen stronger controls on Russians in the UK, especially as we've been busy making ourselves targets for the last week.
When it comes to my personal projects, I'd do what I want.

I find Flutter to be a much cleaner ecosystem then React Native. I tire of trying to sort out 800 different Babel versions, and fighting the JavaScript build chain.

For the projects I build, Flutter gets the job done much faster than react ever could. Having a real type system is worth it for me.

That said, you're phrasing this as someone looking for an argument. Different people like different things, for example, I think it's stupid to ever spend more than $30,000 on a car. Even if you need to buy something new, you can buy something extremely nice for 25k or so.

I don't go to car forums to argue with people about their lives though.

Intellectually, I enjoy the idea of the states competing as a free market, but the system has enough friction to prevent that being generally true in practice. For instance, it's very difficult to uproot your life and move to a different state.

* Many people want to live near their family, and moving means either leaving them or convincing multiple other people to leave as well.

* Most people won't be able to work remotely so they'll need a new job.

* Moving means you won't see your friends in person so you need a new social circle.

* Maybe you need to sell your house and buy a new one.

The state has to to something pretty egregious to convince someone to move. It's not like switching brands of toothpaste.
No referendum can be legally binding in the UK due to parliamentary sovereignty there. Even if parliament were to create a referendum that stated it was legally binding, they could simply repeal or amend it, as parliament is unable to bind future parliaments.
The Budapest memorandum also assured no economic coercion, and it applied to Belarus, as well.

Still the USA applied sanctions against Belarus, therefore breaching the memorandum.

That’s also something you don’t hear very much in the news!
Current events aside, those pillars read as if they’re entirely derived from a philosophy based on fear.

It’s pitiable.

Also I find it rather odd, because having studied Russian literature when I was younger I always got a sense that the Russian people had earned enlightenment and a resilient, if sometimes morose, philosophy that sees life as fundamentally good, but filled with challenges introduced by those who lack such a grounded perception. An inextinguishable light persisting against imposing darkness.

This whole of current events and current outlooks I’m hearing about sounds nothing like that. It’s all darkness.

Any source to it that doesn't try to stretch the meaning of pseudo-term "right-wing" to mean "neonazis"? Are there knows instances of Russia openly incorporating entities publicly identifying with neonazi rhetorics and symbolics into their government structures?

Are you denying the fact that Saakashvili had invaded Tskhinvali, the capital of South Osetia, trying to solve a century old ethnic conflict[1] by force, which was last time put on cold under Russia's military guarantees[2]? What lies are you referring to exactly?

We unelected the guy with that theory. Good thing we did.
> Eg. a non-NATO EU army could get more involved in Ukraine,

That would trigger a nuclear bomb from Russia, the same as with NATO's involvement. When a nuclear power gets involved (and an EU army would posses nuclear weapons) then we enter the MAD scenario even if we want it or not. Re-labelling the Europe-based part of the NATO forces as "EU Army" I'm afraid won't foul the Russians.

For a long time I loved reading comments to news stories or other discussions on reddit, for example.

But I have found that most comments are actually at the very least misinformed, often wrong and clearly not very educated and I have started asking myself why I am exposing myself to this low quality messages. (There are of course notable exceptions found aplenty)

Realizing this, I have stopped reading most comments and generally just stick to a few main newspaper sites that still have decent journalism.
If a behaviour is beneficial for an agent - then we don't need any moral rules to pressure him to do that.

Also the set of all possible bad behaviours is very big and it would be absurd if all of that would be good politics. The title only makes sense if we somehow restrict that set of all possible bad behaviours.

I'm only going by the Content section of the Wikipedia article you reference (which may be wrong), but to me it doesn't say that the UK "assures the integrity of Ukraine's border", just that UK respects its independence and sovereignty (which it seems it does) and that it will consult with other parties if questions arise (which it seems to be doing). It doesn't sound as though the UK has broken its commitments there - can you point out what I've missed?

This is ideal as a teaching tool. Related to another thread (dictator's handbook thread) I used salience models to help make feature decisions, which are a lot like story points poker without the overhead, but the effect is the same. The key challenge is getting honest assessments from people of the questions. Most people when provided a model will ask, "sure, how do I get it to say what I want it to say?" and if it doesn't say that, they won't accept that their desire is thwarted by principle.

Such a useful tool, and I foresee referring to it regularly.

They've not said they'll shut it down, but the writing is on the wall.
No, it really is the continuation of 2015, Brexit, Calais, etc. I.e. the government wants to be seen as tough on immigration because that's what its grassroots support wants.

Now, of course the sea border is very poorly secured so my guess is simply that we'll see more Ukrainians in Calais attempting to cross by sea. As soon as they reach the English coast they'll be happy to be welcomed by the police and to claim asylum, and will never be deported in the current situation.
Europe would hugely benefit from an united, concise and strong foreign policy, more so if backed by a strong military. Plus, the added GDP boost from military expenditure.

> A 52% majority is no basis for far-reaching, long-term constitutional change

did those have a legitimate basis?

It's not just the file system.

Currently, when you have a game with say 10k separate asset files, you either place 10k asset files in the file system (which is slow because NTFS) or you develop some sort of your own virtual read-only filesystem on top of that (which has been done for decades too, see e.g. the WAD format created for Doom). And there have been many implementations for these, and yet they suffer from two things: the OS filesystem cache can't know which parts of such a package file (aka the index) are relevant to always keep in memory, and the game has to copy the assets to the GPU.

The general idea, if I get it right, is that DirectStorage provides a standardized layer that:

- cuts down on filesystem-related overhead by providing its own optimized filesystem (e.g. omitting journals because the purpose of the storage is 99.99% read vs write), or even if they don't go that far and use a-blob-on-NTFS at least to cut down on fopen, fclose etc.

- provides a standard way for game developers to deal with the problem "how to package and distribute tons of tiny assets and compressing and decompressing them"

- saves context switches across the road, e.g. as mentioned eliminate fopen and fclose calls or by copying the file contents to the GPU entirely in kernel mode

Nevertheless I'm not sure what outside of copying assets to the GPU in kernel mode actually will be the benefit of DirectStorage as almost everyone these days uses one of the major engines that have all these problems dealt with for ages.
Governments do know what they needed to do: mostly, they needed the EU to have begun reducing its dependence on Russian natural gas years ago, whilst instead they increased it. (The UK isn't particularly dependendent on fossil fuels from Russia directly but buys from the same global markets as the countries which are.) This is not particularly popular to talk about, especially given who was pushing for them to do that at the time and what the European reaction was...

First, I understand your technical arguments above (but IANAL.) Find a technical lawyer who understands that your logs and/or subscribers list sets a hard limit to the damage you might have caused. I'm a bit curious about why you're being charged at all if the S3 bucket was publicly available - there are easy ways for the company to secure their bucket if they choose (one example - https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/how-to-prevent-hotlink...).

You're headline states that you didn't do it but your descriptions admits you did, but maybe not all of it. You need to be completely honest with this. The journalist in Missouri who identified teachers SSNs on the state's web-site was in a similar situation and, while he's ultimately not going to be charged, his legal fees are hefty.
That is in no way a counterpoint to my statement.

The margarita probably was created by Raffaele Esposito who had a restaurant and could sell Pizza to a large enough degree to refinance it as the value wasn't in the recipe, but in the exact way the produced it and having an oven and the restaurant and anybody who wanted to sell their versions had to invest in an oven and ingredients and then needs skills to make a better pizza.

However if i record a music album and I have no protection anybody can copy it for free, without any investment and in the current system the original musicians have no benefit as each copy of the recording would be equally well.
Well, it depends who you are at war with. If Russia was rolling tanks through (more of) eastern Europe WW2 style then just out of self preservation other EU countries would want to commit forces to defend against that.

Also, I'm not so sure European identity is receding anymore, although that narrative is of benefit to other large powers.

EU does not have a great track in terms providing security for its members. Nord Stream was pushed by Germany even though it was obvious that this would make Germany depended on Russian gas. Germany killed the plan of common European gas purchase from diversified sources - they wanted to buy it alone, to sell it further and get even more economical advantage over other EU countries (because, unless you don't know, gas from Russia is a green energy, CO2 free).

That's why Germany to the very last moment was opposing arms sale for Ukraine and until the 3rd day of the Russian invasion on Ukraine was opposing sanctions. Blinken was not getting off his plane for good three weeks while traveling to convince European partners from Italy, Germany, France, Hungary that Russia is a real danger and has to be stopped. Long time has to pass before Germany will be consider to be a trusted partner, their silent support for Russia was clear not only to Poland or Baltic countries - Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Romania, Moldavia, they all have seen what is happening and will think twice before trusting Germany.

Nobody sane will undermine the role of NATO and USA/UK when it comes to European security, over my head I see US and UK spy planes and drones that are flying all days and nights over eastern Poland, providing intel for Ukrainian forces.

No country in Europe is capable of pursuing large military operation, France stumbled over their own feet when trying to change ruler in Libya several years ago and France has the best army in continental Europe. Go figure that! They needed US support at the end.

Another big problem is the pathetic state of German army, especially heavy component, luckily they have just decided to put significant amount of money on making Bundeswehr a real force since right now with its 300 tanks (three times less than Poland) it is a sad joke.
