This has been a real reckoning for me, as somebody who has historically been very pro-nuclear.

Quite simply, humanity is too good at screwing things up to harness such a fundamentally powerful and dangerous source of power. It requires a commitment to long lasting peace and stability that we're just not capable of.
So long as the people with guns have their bellies full, not much will happen in Russia. Just like as much as the world wants North Korea to change and become more free, most of the people enforcing the law can’t imagine living any other way and they’re happy to maintain the status quo.

Maybe a rapid decline in quality of life will be enough to turn things around in Russia. Or maybe just enough people are so used to struggles there that nothing will change. North Koreans went through decades of wars and invasions—the people there haven’t known that life can be better, so they don’t feel a reason to revolt. People in Russia who were alive during pre-Putin era struggles most likely do really see him as lifting the country to a higher level. The possibility for Russia becoming a new NK-style state isn’t completely impossible.
Agreed. But it can’t be used by an attacking force, which is why I suspect the Russians aren’t using it now.

If you make concessions in a circumstance like this, you just have the same problem again in a few years. If doing this gets Putin anything at all that he wants, it will keep happening. We know this because it already did, more than once, and because we've all seen it before many times. Every concession made strengthens Putin and reinforces his desire to keep trying this.

If Ukraine's goal is to exist, concessions of any kind at all to Putin make that harder. It's not "because Russia is wrong" that I don't think they should make concessions. It's because, if they make concessions, Russia will try again, because it worked.

Also, I think you're massively overestimating the strength of Russia's position here.
I could see this being the start of a small wave. And that wave is exclusive to regions of the country and companies where tech workers lean extremely heavily left. I don't see this gaining widespread industry adoption though. The market is simply too hot.
Sadly that word doesn't work at all as is, and the mid-word capitalizations do not work either. Good effort tho :)

The random sample (Stichprobe) has to go last, as it is the subject. Extreme is probably the "extreme case" not "extreme value" in here, so Extremfall, but we need plural to consider all extremes at the same time - which has the added "aesthetic" bonus of adding another German umlaut in Fälle. Full Confirmation is just Bestätigung I'd say. So maybe

Extremfälle-Bestätigungs-Stichprobe = Extremfällebestätigungsstichprobe

(to make it plural, just add an n)
The iPhone SE (2016) still runs the latest iOS (and I know people who happily use it), and I can get it on American eBay for about $100.
Not in the same sense people usually mean "nuclear war".

Swapping many ICBMs is a lot more deadly than letting one NPP go critical.
I guess what he was trying to say was that by using VPN the user could hide the fact that he was using StarLink as the real IP address was hidden.

But just as you said, why would anyone need to check someone's network traffic to determine whether he was using StarLink? The RF signal itself is more than enough.
The 1949 Geneva Convention bans attacks on nuclear power plants, dams, etc (with some conditions).
Any forum with a substantial amount of an left/right leaning group will have people wanting to jail/punish journalists.

Describing media outlets he didn't like as "a war against .. media" is sensationalist. Saying this is "the same authoritarianism in different stages" is the same as saying getting angry is the same as genocide - "same anger in different stages" which is what ahs given rise to the draconian "literally Hitler" attitude to any dissent; This in itself is totalitarian.
> But is a push against racism, for gender equality, LGBT rights really wrong?

Framing it this way is misleading. "push back" that entails violent, harmful and illegal behaviour maybe wrong with total irrelevance to what you are trying to achieve.

> Do you notice, how much people, who stand for those issues, get attacked in the public discussion?

No, I see the opposite, to the extend that extreme virtue-signalling on these topics is met with no opposition, because no-one wants to be labelled an *-ist.
The plant has been offline for some time due to renovation.
That has nothing to do with giving devs lee-way.

If you work without tests/QA, you are shooting from the hip. The scenario above as-such should not happen. If it ties in with million-dollar processes, even more so. What you are saying is "We don't trust our process, so we do as little as possible outside authorised tasks"; Instead, you should fix the process. If this led to post-mortems and process improvements, as in QA/dev process, not simply bug-fixes, then why is the process not improving and/or better trusted now?

Also, the original task is described as a "refactor", so the numbers should not be affected - was was it not just a refactor?
My understanding is that it's relatively easy to shut down, but costly/time consuming to start back up.
Short answer:

If you wanna play games, consider a mechanical keyboard, else consider a flat laptop-like keyboard.

Long answer:

I used to believe that mechanical keyboards have to be better because most people praise them and they are more expensive, but it really is a matter of preference and use case.
I bought myself a corsair mechanical keyboard and I really didn't like it besides for playing specific games.
A laptop keyboard always felt the best to me. They are flat, so your wrist is always in a correct position while with mechanical keyboards i'd find myself having to bend my wrist backwards despite having a small pad.
They are extremely responsive, you get instant feedback from the keys, and I mean instant because it takes less effort and distance to trigger each key.
As a result they also make typing faster in my experience.
So unless you're in for gaming or have a good pad, i'd say you really don't need it.
> Why isn’t it?

Because the effects of a nuclear meltdown are closer to that of a chemical attack and far away from that of a thermonuclear detonation. Blurry red lines cease to be lines.
I can’t speak to why you’ve been downvoted, but it might be worth considering the incentives to fight aren’t the same between the “sides”. One is fighting to survive an attack by the other. It’s difficult to maintain safety measures while people are trying to kill you.
You're right. Wallets that get illicit Bitcoin would have to turn over the illicit Bitcoin before they could sell any on the exchange.
The only public statement I've read is that the Russian Army is concerned the Ukrainians would use their Nuclear Power Plants as dirty bombs.
This is a very extreme and stupid suggestion, but... https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi?variant=16969883648090
Really interesting - could definitely support the model itself. Might require a bit of conversation to figure out how to port the tool they use to interact with the model over.
> Force won't remain limited to only those crapping, screaming and exposing themselves in public.

Okay? What exactly do you mean by this? We expect force to be used in a lot of contexts.

> Will you still support this when, perhaps, it is a friend?

Be more specific?

> We should consider making stronger sacrifices before violating invaluable liberties

Again, please be more specific.

I think the proposal is common sense.

Should we work on the upstream issues? Yes.

But first let's get the adults crapping on the sidewalk into protective custody. Let's regulate it, and subject it to heavy public oversight.

> Beauty is a noble fondness, but a treacherous god.

Perfection is the enemy of the good.
So, disingenuous?

I'll admit to bias because of the homeschoolers I've met, who seemed much more relaxed and able to be forthcoming in discussions, rather than 'act'.
pfsense supports VLANs. Lawrence Systems in YouTube covers pfsense a lot. This is one video where they talk about setting up VLAN in pfsense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2w1Ywt081o

On the wifi side, TPLink EAP245 access point allows you to configure multiple SSIDs, each with separate VLANs so that you can have one set of devices connect to one SSID, another group of devices to another SSID and so on. pfsense firewall rules can be configured to prevent the devices on separate VLANs from seeing each other. You can also block internet to access for one VLAN, and have the wireless IP cameras connect to it.
You’re living in a happy time. Ask a former high flying IBM engineer from what Binghamton or Poughkeepsie, NY was like circa 1992 when IBM detonated the mainframe business. Or anyone from DEC or HP.

If you don’t think that will happen to the current cohort of tech giants, you’re engaging in magical thinking.
I gradually stop seeing this as a war just for the freedom of the Ukrainian people. This is a war for the progress of humanity. A war between the new and old worlds.

With more breakthroughs in nuclear fusion energy and policies [1], the gradual adoption of nuclear (as well as EV tech) will soon mark the end of old world. The implication of this is beyond anything anyone can conceive as we do not truly know what becoming a Tier 1 civilisation means. This could also mean new military tech that would render all existing fossil-fuel-based weapon systems inefficent things of the past. In this new world social mobility would mean different things too (as energy gets cheaper (which is the cost of pretty much every basic thing a modern industrial society depends on), things get more decentralized), old status quos will crumble as the cost-to-transform skyrockets.

Systems that come with top-down execution structure always optimize for cost-to-execute and not cost-to-transform [2]. This would give you advantages eg in a Nash equilibrium, etc, but it also means losing touch with the every-changing reality that is the world now.

Access to many viewpoints and sources of information does not mean much, as we see here in the U.S. The idea that we just need to shower Russia with the "right" information to get them to turn against Putin is simply a fantasy. However, it's still worth doing as it will help some.
oh, you're right. i totally missed the word far on initial read. totally changes the everything.
Black people and Muslims aren't an organized group with leaders and armed forces. Russians are.

It's very sad and unfair that individual Russians will suffer for their leaders misdeeds. But, I think the average Russian should prefer sanctions to alternative means of solving Russian aggression.
Is there any specific reason why you don't currently accept evolution?

If you study evolution with an open mind, you will see that it is true. There is a reason that the percentage of people who don't accept evolution has steadily decreased over the decades. It is by far the most compelling explanation for the origin of all the life we see around us, including ourselves. You can then see how the capacity for morality is an evolved trait, like all innate human behaviors.

Specific moral systems, such as the Judeo-Christian tradition you mention, are the product of cultural "evolution". They are built on top of our innate moral capacities.
Why does your comment make me think of social media?
Marvell which might not have the resources to design a competitive interconnect solution themselves.

I guess it depends on what you mean by interconnect. If you’re talking about >100GbE then the Marvell has a large market share in interconnect market for high speed Ethernet.
I too have been using the CODE keyboard. Got mine in 2015. Been very happy with it. I chose the 87-key board with Cherry MX Green switches for their IBM Model M feel and sound.
There are plenty of opportunities in tech but far fewer in news. If you’re someone that’s passionate about doing tech in news it makes more sense.
are there citations for the assertions about military equipment status?
So if someone detonated a dirty bomb in Russia, that wouldn’t be nuclear war?
Great accomplishment! Good luck !
Usually they have fail safes that will more or less immediately shut them down. On any reactor designed in the last 50 years, they pretty much default to a safe state, as they require power to keep the failsafes open.

Starting back up after is the slow part.
Can you name any countries that tax foreigners who work there without a work permit (or a visa that allows remote work)? Suppose I'm a US citizen working for a US company while I enjoy living in Thailand. I don't have a work permit in Thailand. Technically (according to Thai immigration and labor law) I am not allowed to work at all, so I'm breaking the law. In practical terms there's no way for the Thai authorities to enforce those laws unless I go around telling everyone I'm running a business or working for a foreign employer. If I try to pay taxes there without a work permit I am either going to get confused looks or deported.

The US is like this -- it's illegal to work in the US without a work permit or visa that allows work. If a French citizen comes to the US on a tourist visa and works for their employer remotely they are technically violating the conditions of their tourist visa, which prohibits any kind of work. Practically there's little to no enforcement for people working on laptops from coffee shops.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just haven't heard of any country requiring local taxes unless you have a work permit or some kind of visa that specifically allows you to work remotely. I can't see how those governments would enforce that unless they raided every coffee shop and hotel room looking for foreigners with laptops.

I know some countries have so-called digital nomad visas that allow working for a foreign employer remotely. I don't think that's what you're describing, though.
Trying to rescue you from downvotes, but ppl refuse to see the big picture, to think reflexively. MSM sure isn't helping.
I think the idea is that you form the union when you have leverage and don't need it so that if you ever lose leverage as an individual in the future (e.g. if the developer labor market becomes oversaturated or demand for developers tanks), you will still have some leverage as a member of the collective.

Seems kind of like insurance - you pay for it when you don't need it so that you have it when you do.

The company as a whole is not a late adopter. I forget but I know all the journalists are in a union already and there’s a long history of unions on printing presses.
The last time I checked, being Russian doesn't make you immune to radiation. Controlling land is pretty pointless if you've poisoned it into uninhabitability for the next few generations or so.
I don't get why they would pick Netflix over Microsoft. And if they are using Meta instead of Facebook, surely it should be Alphabet instead of Google.
This echoes a (better) review in Harper's recently:

https://harpers.org/archive/2022/02/every-child-an-emperor-o...

In the New Yorker article, the author takes issue with the fact that there are very few public Montessori schools, but fails to suggest why this might be the case. I'd offer that perhaps this this is because a Montessori education is child-focused, while public educational institutions (like the ones I attended) tend to be institution-focused. Valuing the worth of the child is somehow antithetical to the structure and order they impose.
I think I would have liked the FC660C. I once had an HHKB2, but using the Fn modifier for arrows was too much.

I have to say, I found the Kinesis Advantage to be fantastic. It really did work, solving my ergonomic problems, wonderfully and very quickly. The need for it did depend on the volume of typing -- back when I used it, I switched off of it, but then had to switch back after some days with more typing.
Good entry point for people coming from the "traditional" keyboard world -- particularly those who don't expect to invest a lot of time in things like learning radically different layouts, heavy use & customization of layers, etc.
The manylinux wheels distributed on PyPI need to be built against the oldest glibc imaginable, which is defined to be the glibc on some ancient version of CentOS (a different version for each different manylinux platform tag).

If you build your own wheels, of course no one’s going to stop you from building against anything.

Looked into scraping some data from this, here are some URL templates worth mentioning:

I'm considering making a taxonomic tree (and then forget formal phylogeny and include the varieties) with the thumbnail images. Similar to another pet project of mine.

Put low prices on the pricing page together with a note along the lines of "prices/terms are negotiable". That page should probably also mention that customers now will always pay less than later customers.

Be as friction-free as possible. When you talk with someone, ask if there is anything that would have helped. (The problem being that you want to hear from the folks who didn't talk with you.)

Note - while you want an interesting number of paying customers, you don't want any bad customers, where bad means "suck up a lot of time, provide no benefit."

Be flexible up to the point where you feel that you're being take-advantage of.

For example, if you're offering 15 days free and you're asked for 30, that's probably okay (and may be useful information telling you what you should offer). However, if someone demands 6-12 months, thank them and tell them to go elsewhere, nicely.
I’m pretty sure we’re in agreement in the insurance policy part.

If I buy a policy to cover my risk of death for the next X years, the insurance company uses the ensemble probability of the group to price that policy (and believes that the risk of me knowing more than them is covered by the fact they’ve factored that in, plus that they’ve insured multiple people in the group and the aggregate will be good even if 1 policy isn’t.)

If I said to an insurance company — okay I want to buy a policy that only covers me for one day - they would not do it. Firstly of course the transaction costs would swamp the cost of the policy, but let’s ignore that by pretending they use some magical technological solution (digital contracts… hardy har har) The second reason they wouldn’t do it is because that’s not how their model works. It has to smooth over time. Over a year, over a lifetime - not over a day. The third reason they wouldn’t do it is because the information asymmetry now dominates. My knowledge of whether I’ll die tomorrow in particular is better than their model. I’m able to price the policy much more accurately than them. The fact I want the policy is a big red flag. (They do offer some very short term contracts such as holiday insurance — but those disclaim every imaginable pre-existing… which is out of scope for this discussion as it’s not something we can do with nuclear risk)

I think we more or less agree on that stuff. Don’t we?

What I’m saying about it is that just as we all know that insurance policies don’t make sense when you reduce it down to thinking about an individual person on an individual day — the nuclear war modelling doesn’t work when (the author of the article) reduces it down to saying it’s like suggesting that Putin flips a coin each morning.

The most likely reason an author would pretend that the models claim such a plainly ridiculous thing is in order to ridicule the models, about a claim they did not make. In this way it is a straw man argument. They are recasting the original assertion into something that is easy to attack. It’s not a well intentioned thing to do.

That’s what I’m saying about that.

Even the 2012 data is suspect.

"Seek + rotational delay halves every 10 years" just isn't true. We got rid of the >7200 drives and are basically sitting still on that metric. And hard drives weren't at 400MB/s in 2012 either.

Earth is _very_ big, safety numbers are given per kWh, waste heat is insignificant compared to total insolation and all other generation methods generate the same amount of waste heat (that’s the law). Solar wind and hydro kind of cheat with the accounting though.
