Kiev is the Romanian for Kyiv

Edit: read about it some more and Kiev appears to be the old name from the Soviet era which is not well accepted by Ukraine people. It's odd that we in Romania still use this old form given that Kyiv was proposed and accepted in 1995.
> A lot of my IT friends have fled the country, almost everyone who could. My heart is bleeding thinking of friends who wanted to leave on March 9, not sure what they can do now.

Depending on where in Russian they live. They could flee in their car. Finland seem to be popular (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-60624500). The Baltics, Norway and possibly Sweden on a ferry or boat could also be options.
I have never accepted the “separate VLAN” approach as safe. You must assume those devices are actively hostile, so you must maintain perfect security and constant vigilance.

To borrow an idea I first heard uttered about male birth control: it makes less sense to put on a bulletproof vest than it does to take the bullets out of the gun.

Why allow hostile devices on your network at all? How does this not end up with you eventually shooting yourself in the foot?

This article seems to contradict itself. Near the beginning it says storing at a low temperature can increase toxicity. Then near the end, it suggests storing potatoes in a cool place. Which is it?
There is actually a difference here; the parent comment is a Russian refugee. The Japanese internment camps housed mostly Japanese Americans who already lived in the United States before the war and were predominantly US citizens.

Refugees are human & need help, but it isn't quite the same.

> Economic sanctions are an act of war.

This 100%. I'm seriously wondering how all these people supporting heavy sanctions will feel when Putin realizes he can't win via conventional means and his economy is destroyed, so he starts nuking things.
> we have a rule where we don't try to assasinate leaders unless strictly necessary

And yet, here we are. Maybe this is the rule that needs to change. How many of these wars will we see in the coming decades if we simply start assassinating the leaders of aggressive countries?

I understand there are often power vacuums and things can be worse afterward, but maybe a good, 20-year run of assassinating aggressive world leaders would lead us to a better place.

Why is it always the average Joe that has to pay his life for the leaders?
And too add to this, dietary intake of cholesterol in general has less of an effect on serum cholesterol levels then people realise. This is especially true for eggs iirc due to the how the cholesterol is found within them.

Nothing, which is amusing irony.

He could probably just withdraw, no? Russia isn't under existential threat. Is taking Ukraine really the only option for Putin?

I've been in touch with my family in and around Moscow. Older generation is militantly pro-Putin, as a direct result of listening to the what the TV spews. My generation is ignoring it all and is keeping their heads down because it is too dangerous to express anything. My uncle who had a green card and had an opportunity to settle here in USA couple of decades ago but chose not to is being very philosophical, and says he's at least happy to have pre-paid for Egypt resort in the fall before the money became completely inflated away. I am unconvinced that he's going to be able to enjoy it and wish he has made a different choice on the green card.

Vomiting and diarrhoea can, and will, kill you. I have personally had a particularly bad bout of food poisoning (unrelated to potatoes) where I was dehydrating to the point it was affecting kidney and liver function, and I needed a few litres of fluids IV.

IF you're in a wealthy country and have alternatives, potatoes are cheap enough they're not worth the risk, however small. If you are in such a bad situation that you're at risk of starvation, green/sprouted potatoes might be worth the risk, but you're also taking a genuinely dangerous gamble.

Since you're familiar enough with the activities of the knowledge equity fund to be confident that it's a waste, can you fill in more detail about which grants that it has issued that ended up being wasteful? I understand that you're not "going straight to OMG, the SJWs", so surely you have some knowledge of how these millions of dollars were allocated and at least some vague understanding of their particular failures.

Unless of course you read "racial equity" and assumed that there could not possibly be a valuable distribution of funds based on that idea. Assuming that's not the case, could you give an example of a grant writing fund that ostensibly supports the idea and has created value?

This is a consequence of the proliferation of identity based politics, where having titles and labels grants people special status.
you are right, there are still a handful of companies that fly to Russia. For now. But it's going to be close to impossible to buy tickets for them soon due to 90+% of other flights being cancelled and the high demand.

Also, the situation changes literally every hour, these companies may be next.
Putin realises that people with money and education are trying to run away and actively fights it.
Europe outsources defense to the US, but the prize for the US being a top military power is also having the top currency. Almost all world banks have to report to US inquiries about account information, but no US bank has to do that for abroad. A dollar used as reserve currency worldwide means much higher value of US savings, real estate, stock market, in which any American can participate. Multiple military lead pretenders also eventually clash. Whenever the military is strong a leader who wants to remain in power has to abide by them and there is a risk of war. Those who have outsourced their military mostly to US in Europe have seen prosperity and peace and trade and social systems that would otherwise be a eaten by conflict in an area historically torn by it. Germany also outsources food to southern Europe (EU) and energy to Russia. No different than US states that choose to specialize and benefit from all the wealth generated by the entire union for anything they are not an expert in.
I don't mean of course that states are somehow sentient entities but decision makers in charge of states are, not surprisingly, very interested in the security of the thing they are in charge of.

I disagree that the decision makers in Russia who made the decision for war were motivated mostly in their own hold on power. If they were, they probably would not engage in such a risky business as a major war. Power is more secure in a stable political environment. To take one example, decision makers in Germany before the first world war had no illusions that a major industrialized european war was risky for the political order and its outcome was very uncertain. One reason why Germany refused to expand conscription was the fear the aristocratic class would lose power in any new citizen army with mass conscription( which in fact, happened).

So even in an autocracy this incentive problem still exists. Democracy certainly reduces the incentives for decision makers to go to war over security concerns but even in a democratic states these cross cutting concerns of political stability and economic well being could find themselves at odds with having to ensure the security of the state that makes such prosperity possible.

Not buying Russian oil and gas is not an act of war. Any nation has a right to decide if they want to buy a product, how much, by whom, and at what price they are willing to accept (tariffs and import tax, up to infinitive).

Calling sanctions war is like calling boycotts theft. Vegetarians are not stealing money from beef producers.

What boycotts and sanctions can be is passive aggressiveness. It harms people on a social level, and since humans are social creatures, it feel like violence. The problem of comparing violence with social violence is that not being invited to a party hurt, but it hurts in a different way from getting knifed. Our brain interpret social pain as physical phantom pain, but we must be able to distinguish between real and non-real pain. Society depend on it.

The reason blocking a port is a act of war is that the nation blocking that port is also blocking it for other nations who might be willing to trade. That is like a vegetarian going out during the night and killing off the beef productions herd of cows.

I think most people outside of the US will pick: "I speak more than one foreign language".

Among my friends in western Europe speaking three conversational (usually native, English + French or German) seems to be the norm while being able to understand (but not speak) usually 1 or 2 more, depending on where they life, work and their education.

Some countries have it a bit easier (e.g Dutch and German are close, I think that Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are also close, etc).

Putin is playing the kosovo card.

An area with a minority, self declared independence, minority and majority fighting every now and then, and then the "outside player" deciding to attack the whole country to "protect the minority".

For us in the balkans, america has always been a bigger threat to peace (and still is), especially after having plane fly above our roofs to bomb a country 200miles away, and not that long ago, we were still a same country.
> War doesn't necessarily mean killing human beings. You could bomb an empty munitions factory and it would be an act of war.

But it does require attacking or destroying. We aren’t engaging Russia at all. This is like calling a boycott theft.

> It's saying anyone who does business with russia is going to get attacked. It's why china was attacked for trading with iran when china doesn't have any economic sanctions on iran. It's saying the whole world can't do business with russia.

Sanctions are telling people that they must pick a side. We will not be friends with X and if you are friends with them, we will not be friends with you. China was not attacked. It was just told that it can be only with one group.
Ukraine hasn't waged a war against insurgents. They are Russians pretending to Ukrainians. How do you think they shot down the Dutch plane? With AK-47? No. With a Russian Buk.

As a fairly blackpilled guy who isn't a feminist, I'll try to avoid being too controversial.

"But I wonder if the dating apps, with their illusion of endless possibility, subtly encourage us to keep shooting for the best of all worlds"

Ah yes: the paradox of choice. By having many more, and better, things to choose from you end up less satisfied than if you had fewer choices.

"Today there are three men for every four women with degrees. Put simply, there aren’t enough highly educated men to go around."

I'd argue that it's only a problem if you make it a problem, though. When the positions were reversed, men never argued that there were too few highly-educated women.

Women want to date up. Now that they are achieving greater parity with men, men are seen as less attractive.

I believe it was Germaine Greer who said this, which hits the nail on the head: If it wasn't for their looks, 90% of women would be of no interest to men. If it wasn't for their money, 90% of men would be of no interest to women.

I'll leave things there for now.
For his pride and image it is, which seems to be the most important thing. Taking Ukraine also appears to be impossible at this point though. The only major city he has taken has massive protests. Subduing 40 million hostile people in a country with that much territory would require huge number of soldiers and a lot more money than Russia can afford
You overestimate knowledge retention.

At one point there is a new hire who instead of learning why and how stuff was done starts overdoing everything because "previous people were shitty developers".

You will have easier time hiring people with standard stack as well, no one wants to work on hodgepodge of code where some dev 2 years ago did something and left never to be found again. Developers don't want to invest in some magic stack because it will be easier for them to switch jobs if they keep doing Angular/React.

The sadder truth may be that Russians might not be interested in removing Putin. Decades of propaganda, murdering of opposition, and authoritarian response to protests has grown a people that largely believes in their leader and is also afraid to openly oppose authority.
While there are some truths in there, other points are just assumptions to make the author's point.

I can only speak about Germany but 35 hours weeks are long gone except for some large companies, retirement age is 67 now, which is far away from one "being in their prime".

Germany's arms production is very advanced, the Leopard 2 is one of the best tanks in the world, German submarines are apparently the best non-nuclear submarines you can buy, and German guns are used all around the world. The government just somehow didn't want to put much money into defense which was luckily now reversed swiftly.

In general the EU has put great effort in projects to develop weapon systems that are used by more than one country, see projects like the Eurofighter, A400M, and NH90. It might not be enough but the article just dismisses it as if it didn't happen.

The praise of America's "cut-throat model" also ignores all downsides of it. High poverty rates, bad healthcare, and in general high inequality.
I know the React team like to claim that it's a library, not a framework, but I don't buy that at all.

My definition of a framework is code which defines the architecture of the rest of your application.

React as practiced in the real world absolutely does this. Theoretically you could plug it in as just the library that does the templating, but I've never seen a real-world codebase for which that appears to be true.

I'm ready to be convinced otherwise!
Putin's clearly expressed belief is that lacking an imperial sphere of influence is an existential threat to Russia.
> He’s one of some 12,000 truckers who haul the containers from the adjacent ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (where 40 percent of all the ship-borne imports to the United States arrive) to the immense complex of warehouses 50 miles east of L.A., where the goods are unpacked, resorted, put back on other trucks, and sent to all the Walmarts, Targets, and the like within a thousand-mile radius.

Sounds like a job for a train to me, and then local dispatch to the relevant warehouses.
That picture looks a lot different if you exclude web technologies, doesn't it?

When it somes to hardware, again excluding consumer tech (where most tech is actually Asian), Europe and Japan seem to be, still, the front runners. Or how many micro chips would be made without German machinery? Or consumer tech without industrail robots. The US excels at marketing technology, as an over simplyfication I'll attribute that to an abundance of VC money and a hige one-language market.

under gTLD rules (the TLDs that private companies can buy/invest in), TLD operators cannot host any records outside of NS and RRSIG/other cryptographic record types, so they can't host email or webpages at the TLD itself. ccTLDs (country code) are effectively "owned" by the nation state themselves so ICANN generally doesn't impose too many rules on how they're used.

In the modern world, no country is self-sufficient. This isn't even an accident, it's an explicit goal of the modern liberal economic system, partly to try to dampen the conditions that lead to war.

At any rate, sanctions create consequences for trade for third parties as well, so any country that doesn't come along on it will also face the possibility of being shut off from trade with the EU, the US, and the rest of their allied nations. No country in the world save China can endure that for long without completely destabilizing their economy and their legal order.

And make no mistake, people will die due to these sanctions. Russia's medical system will not endure lack of trade for long, and it's likely there will be food shortages as well. This is entirely independent of whether or not it's the right thing to do. People need to understand that these actions have real human consequences, whether they agree with the cost or not.

Sanctions as enacted here are not "I'm not talking to you", they're "I will punch anyone who keeps talking to you."

Also, I guarantee you that if a country sanctioned the US in a way that actually impacted the american economy (again, probably only China could pull this off right now), the US would consider it an act of aggression. Just nationalizing American interests has been cause for American intervention before.
> 4. specifically, does analyzing the set of blind solutions permit eliminating certain words from the original list

Certainly for some words. If the sought-for word has 3 identical letters (example: “ERROR”), no guess can give you 5 yellow squares (to get 5 yellow squares, you’d need to have 3 R’s in your guess, but there are only 2 incorrect positions for placing an R)

So, if one of the guesses produces 5 yellow squares, the solution isn’t such a word.

(and yes, 5 yellow squares can occur, for example when the word is CARET and the guess TRACE)

Because of the lack of regularity in the word list, I think that fully answering all your questions requires exhaustive analysis. That would be fairly simple, though. For every word in your list, compute the set of blind solutions for all other words, and check which of these sets are unique and which aren’t.

''intakes of eggs and cholesterol were associated with higher all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality. The increased mortality associated with egg consumption was largely influenced by cholesterol intake. Our findings suggest limiting cholesterol intake and replacing whole eggs with egg whites/substitutes or other alternative protein sources for facilitating cardiovascular health and long-term survival.''

Definitely. My recollection is that the 3g came around the time that battery life was improved.

Historically in Apple's product line, an improvement in either battery capacity or system efficiency was accompanied by a shrink in footprint.

Batteries, especially the sorts Apple used in laptops, have some flexibility in shape and thickness. At this point I don't think they can make the display much larger than the 7 without increasing the footprint again. If they can keep boosting the efficiency per pixel, a larger display should mean slightly larger battery volume as well.

I'm still a little bummed that their plan to incorporate batteries into the band never materialized. I was further disappointed when the hidden connector in the band slot went away after the beta program ended. (Also a little disappointed that the covers went magnetic with no way to include a small supplemental battery in place of the stiffeners). There are definitely some opportunities to expand the system to include these peripherals that we largely ignore. And there may be some opportunities to pack more of the circuitry into the curved areas on the sides of the watch. Currently the speaker takes up one side, the wheel takes a chunk of the other. I'm not sure how much of the band attachments require reinforcements at the ends but I would imagine it's the corners that matter the most there.
I'm not sure how big the taptic package is in the 7 but in the 6 it was a significant fraction of the size of the battery.

Also with the iPhone every time the screen got thinner either the device got thinner or the battery bigger. Not so with the watches. Thinner displays lead to an SPO2 monitor. How about we tap the brakes on more sensors for now and work on lifetime and package density for a couple iterations?
