Yeah it’s an unfortunate consequence of history and geography.

That travel from Port of Long Beach to the San Bernardino Valley is not easy. It is constantly congested because the 10, 110, 210, 710, 5, 15, 605, 60, and 91 all connecting POLB to the inner Southern California valleys are also the main arteries for commuters, last mile delivery, and the general populace visiting friends and family. You will get miles long convoys of 18-wheelers at rush hour all trying to get out of the coast.

But that is also a journey that includes two passes between two valleys that are separated by not-insignificant hills, so rail will be difficult.

And because no one had the real foresight to create a direct rail connection from the ports to the inland valleys, there is now a sprawling suburban jungle that will result in the displacement of at least a million people, thousands of businesses, and a good hundred schools if you attempted to do it now.

It’s damned if you do damned if you don’t. The only solution is to somehow get most commuters/passengers off of cars, into mass transit, and turn all the highways into basically trucking arteries.

Russia not being a democracy is the real problem. From early 2000 on Putin has solidified his power through shady means. Look up the various killings, from journalists and others.

Of course, I will not argue with that, Russia is no democracy and Putin an autocrat who is willing to kill for his power. But this doesn't necessarily make any implications about his foreign policy, you can run an autocratic country without desiring to conquer the rest of the world.

After that, he has used all of his “Active Measures” (look that up too) to divide the West.

I am aware of the term but not much more and I will do some further reading. But interestingly the Wikipedia article [1] in the section »1991 to present« starts with 2014, which is well passed 2008 and aligns with Ukraine's renewed desire to become a NATO member.

On the basis that "the best code is no code", this could revolutionise app architecture. Imagine if instead of using blockchains, Web3 apps were backed by Matrix servers.
I almost agree with you.

The way Snopes presents it sounds like there is enough wiggle room in the requirements for it to be a kill switch:

> Passively monitor the performance of a driver to accurately identify whether they are impaired.

> Prevent or limit operation if impairment is detected.

> “Passively” detect whether the BAC of a driver is equal to or higher than the legal limit. In such cases, the system could “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected.”
"Silence equals support."

This 'translation' is either ignorance or deliberate malice to mislead people.

"Silence is a sign of consent" would be an accurate translation, and even then a saying is just a saying, it does not mean it always applies or that it is always true.
I am curious if using an extreme "accent" would hamper any meaningfull analysis. Like the person behind the shadowbroker leaks did.
"You don't need a framework" assumes your developers will write code that operates with everyone else's code nicely, without accidently writing something that will be painful to remove in a year's time.

Frameworks generally enforce a pattern where things are quite well encapsulated, don't pollute global spaces, don't mess with prototypes, and manage callbacks well. Code written by one person, or a group of well-organised experts, also does that, but as soon as you have a less talented team, or a couple of juniors who aren't being overseen because the seniors are too busy, things creep in to the code that have the potential to blow up later. Frameworks help your team avoid those footguns (and introduce some different ones, but at least they're usually easier to manage).

Similar opportunity losses can be found through not keeping npm libraries up-to-date or through not doing full refactoring when there is a mainline change in a framework’s coding styles.

.NET, React, and Angular all suffer from that problem, to this day, in regular enterprise, and I’m sure Java does too.

"Why Don’t Refugees Stay in the First Safe Country?" - https://care4calais.org/the-refugee-crisis/why-dont-refugees...

> ... many times more refugees do stay in the first country they arrive in rather than continue their journey onwards. However, we also see cases where people first arrive in a country such as Greece, Italy or Hungary and initially do try to settle there, but, if that country has economic problems like acute unemployment or food shortages it becomes impossible for them to survive and they end up destitute in the street. Some therefore decide to move on to France, or further, due to a desire to become independent and contribute to society. In the long term this will benefit both the refugee and the host country. ...

> Refugees who have lost everything due to war or persecution face a daunting task in trying to rebuild their lives. Ask yourself, “If I had to suddenly leave home and everything behind me tomorrow, arriving to a new country without shelter and without work, which country would I go to and why?”

If I were a refugee and spoke good English and no Spanish, I would prefer to live in the US where it's much more likely I can support myself, and where the language barrier is much smaller.

It’s really tough when the first summary of a study is incorrect because it sets the tone for all subsequent coverage. It is so common with scientific studies.
One thing is sure: if China still wants to invade Taiwan, they certainly have postponed their plans by a few years, maybe a decade, maybe even more.

How can you be so certain? This reminds me of people saying just 14 days ago "I don't think Putin is going to invade."

Taiwan is not Ukraine, indeed -- Taiwan would be easier to capture because it is an island. There aren't land borders across which supplies and weapons can be brought. They would have to come by ship or plane, which are easier to defeat. It would be easier, militarily, to take Taiwan. China certainly has the will, and it has learned that the worst it would face would be some sanctions.
What if you have to drive like a maniac to get your friend to the ER before he bleeds out?

(Yes, a friend of mine told me how he had to do just that. His friend died anyway, but it wasn't because the car quit.)

There are lots of cases where I might need to get the most out of the car.

Or maybe I just want to practice parallel parking. Erratic back and forth driving and turning.

So the car according to some algorithm decides to shut down the car and strand me. The worst part is, I have no idea what criteria that algorithm is using, so I have no idea what line to not cross.
I originally thought that Putin was trolling Ukraine and West with this buildup for the sake of winning some concessions.

Yeah. What I am saying is that they are gross, and bitter. So most likely is, you’d have removed them without knowing a thing about them or, having left them, you wouldn’t have eaten them because the taste would be bad.

And had you eaten them anyway, you’d be in for a mild stomach ache.

Long story short, it is not very dangerous, even if you are completely unaware.

6 hours of sleep are enough for most people physically and the rest is more tiredness than any reduced ability. It's possible the other negative effects you are experiencing are mostly placebo.

I used to be in the same position and am now better by just not worrying about sleeping less or feeling tired when I do.

MANPADS, ATGM, and drones like the Bayraktar have now been shown to be much more effective than the same cost investment into aircraft, tanks and artillery. In addition the united international condemnation and sanctions have been greater than I think everyone imagined. China may conclude that Russian strategic goals would have been better served by maintaining their credible threat of invasion rather than actually invading, and adjust their strategy accordingly. But Russia is not China ...

Therein the problem.

Your situation sucks, and I'm genuinely sorry about it.

But I'm not sure I can think of a way to change that policy that would be a net win overall.

If anything I feel like you're more collateral damage of copyright law than wikipedia policy here, but I understand that even assuming I'm right about that, that doesn't make the specifics sucks any less.

Bah.
Sorry, I only noticed that after writing my comment.

Good point, it's offensive realism, not defensive realism.

Here's how this war fits into Mearsheimer's framework: great powers have a certain amount of power. There are 3 great powers today, the US, China and Russia. The power of a nation depends on its population and GDP, and lots of other things as well. Russia's population is going down, its GDP is just a fraction of China's or America's. So, their great power standing is on the decline.

A conquest of Ukraine, if speedy and decisive, would convince all the other former Soviet Republics to submit to Russia voluntarily, maybe with the exception of the Baltic republics which are part of NATO.

If Putin reincorporates the Russian Empire, the population doubles overnight, a feat not achieved even by Bismark. The GDP also increases, although not that much. Still, under such a scenario, Russia under Putin would achieve a huge leap in great power standing. It would probably still not be number 1, but it could be number 2, because, despite having much lower population and GDP than China, it would have fresh war experience.

Given that this fits so well in Mearsheimer's framework, it's obvious that all of Putin's rhetoric about the NATO transgressions is just that, rhetoric.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Calley#Murder_trial

Feel free to criticize Nixon for getting involved but the U.S. prosecutes soldiers who commit war crimes. Even in Vietnam. And when people try to cover it up, U.S. service members have the moral courage to push back.

Russia intentionally encourages, even orders, soldiers to commit war crimes. There are no prosecutions for it. There is no comparison.

Pointing at outliers doesn't prove anything. They can easily be (and likely are) highly atypical genetically, that doesn't prove how much exercise helps or doesn't help the average person.
If you want "malloc failure is fatal", which I agree is a good idea for a lot of programs, the way to do that is have a wrapper that aborts() if it does, not to just ignore the possibility of error. That way if the unlikely event ever does happen you get an immediate and clear failure, rather than a NULL which might eventually some time later get dereferenced, so if you get a user crash report you don't ever have to spend time debugging "why did this NULL get here in this data structure? was it maybe a memory corruption bug?".

It also means that if you're dealing with untrusted input you have a guard against that data provoking a huge malloc that fails and manages to do something unexpected as a result. Sure, most of the time the "something unexpected" isn't interesting (immediate crash), and there probably ought to have been a range-check on the input data already, but the NULL-check-and-abort means you never have to spend any time thinking about whether the code is the 0.1% "interestingly exploitable" case. Not having to think about a whole class of situations is pretty valuable IME.
Meh, I'm getting very tired of these types of articles. Why is it so hard to simply admit that it's really hard if not impossible to predict complex things like this?

The types of people that write these articles also believed at one time:

- China becoming capitalist would cause it to become a liberal democracy

- Globalization would be amazing for everyone everywhere

- The Afghan army would be able to stand up to the Taliban

- Russia would not invade the Ukraine, but on the off chance they did, they'd roll right over the country in no time at all.

The fact is when it comes to this kind of stuff, we just don't know and we probably never will. That's just the nature of complexity. You miss one minor detail or some tiny assumption or some "unknown unknown" is off and the whole intellectual scaffolding comes down.
Zelenskyy himself was telling people to calm down with the invasion rhetoric, indicating that there is no evidence of an imminent invasion, and that the rhetoric is counter productive.

Personally, I thought Putin would establish a stronghold in the Donbas and gradually improve position from there. This full on assault of the entire country is shocking and seems wildly aggressive and overly ambitious.
> some sanctions

Some sanctions? The entire Russian economy has disappeared overnight. The only reason it has not been felt yet is due to inertia. There are still just about enough goods in the pipes to support things for weeks or months. But once computers start breaking, planes start breaking, shelves start to empty, and nothing is arriving to replace them, shit is going to hit the fan.
These companies want the liability. That would kill all their nascent competitors for good.
They will die because western governments find it politically more convenient to apply broad indiscriminate sanctions against all citizens of the country instead of cutting off funding from the head of the snake by NOT buying Russian oil & gas.

The only crime committed by regular Russians is being born inside an authoritarian regime that pretended to be a democracy for a time. The genie is out of the bottle and Russians know that protesting their government could land them in the Gulag or worse.

Stop playing with people’s lives! Yo have obviously never lived under an authoritarian government. People rising up in a new Arab Spring may sound romantic but it is more likely to end up in many more deaths than overthrowing this givernment.

Elsewhere I advocated for the west banning the purchase of oil along with subsidizing energy prices for affected populations.

You repeatedly ignore my proposal or even explain what is wrong with the idea of de-funding the Russian war machine by no longer giving the Russian government millions of dollars/Euros.

Why won’t you address my core point instead of deflecting and blaming an entire nation’s citizens?

But for some reason, China is massively expanding its navy, with lots of amphibious ships along with advanced weaponry that would be a serious problem for the US.
Taiwan has an HDI of .916 and a Gini of 34. China has an HDI of .761 and a Gini of 47. That's quite a gap.

Also, they're only "reliant" on foreign powers insofar as they're under threat. Sri Lanka is not "reliant" on foreign powers because India is not threatening them.

>But if you think a country choosing to ally with a country is the same as positioning nuclear weapons

I think encircling your border with an offensive military alliance is very much like placing nukes 100 miles away and pointing them at you, yes.

I wouldnt want the military alliance that destroyed Libya anywhere near me if I thought I could be a target. Having a strict "dont end up like Libya" policy is actually a fairly sensible.

>This is called whataboutism

It's called sarcasm.
I know it's far from the scope of the purpose of being a plain visualizer/game, but I would love to suggest - and I guess I could try to learn how to do it myself I suppose, but I don't know rust just yet :^) - what about adding a plugin system/interface to an online repository of MIDI files to this?

Would be awesome to have a centralized frictionless way to share/grab midi files. And thank you for all your hard work!

I'm thinking it would be awesome to have a general-purpose plugin system - eg if someone else wrote a 'tutor' plugin, or 'multi-user' plugin, etc. Plus, I'm just spitballing here, but it might be possible to write it so that any language that compiles down to .wasm would be allowed, right? Huge flexibility there. OOooh and maybe a package manager too, while I'm just listing pie-in-the-sky desired features, lol
I literally asked what is the social convention for setting up the language that will be used in further conversation.

Since I never lived in a country with multiple languages, I wonder how it is done, especially when multiple people are involved. The convention/algorithm here can be interesting from networking point of view.

With 2 people probably some sort of recognition/negotiation is involved first? Maybe person A says "Hello", while person B says "Guten tag" and then the first person knows that they can try to use English or German. But what happens where the group is larger? Also what happens when person A doesnt speak language B and person B doesnt speak language A? How do they negotiate some other language C, since they know few? (obviously some language might be the default) Probably there is some social convention to do that too -> and Im curious how it works, because it sounds like an interesting topic. Do people list the languages that they speak? Or do they have some other clever trick. Still my speculations dont explain how this dynamics work for larger groups, what is an even more complicated topic.

The rest of your comment, where you basically wrote that you can recognize what language to use on basis of how a person looks sounds very patronizing, if not racist.
To counter this claim, I'd ask you to consider which of two similarly sized invasions was easier to achieve: D-Day and the invasion of Western Europe, or Operation Barbarossa and the invasion of Eastern Europe. You may also consider why the Nazis never made it to Great Britain, and why Great Britain has been insulated from the Great Wars of Europe more often than it has taken part in the conflicts.
