I'm progressive enough that I'm frequently called an SJW, but I think the concept of cultural appropriation is one of the worst ideas humans have invented. Cultures don't own stuff, individuals own stuff. Mixing, adapting, and copying from each other is how we grow and develop.

If a country signs a treaty while a US gunship is sitting in it's port, it sees a clear benefit of not having a "regime change" or a war.

If a Nigerian politician signs a treaty while receiving bribes or election support from a Western or Chinese oil company, that doesn't mean "a country" sees a benefit.

If a country signs a treaty at a risk of being ostracized by the world, it's taking the lesser of two evils.

And if you take a child bride from a war zone, it's a free exchange, with both sides seeing benefit. However, that doesn't mean it's fair or non-coercive. Power imbalances can allow for pretty nasty, unfair deals.

I have a comment elsewhere in this thread with examples, both modern and going back 200 years.
This is my take on it: when you start something it's at first easy and then it gets really hard. Or boring. Or you get distracted or disenchanted. But if you stick with it long enough you eventually become an expert in the space (or what you are building becomes good enough) that it's not state of the art. And then you can innovate on it or sell it or sell your skills. But you have to get through that tough valley in the middle.
you would not want a country in which politicians decide alone against the interest of their businesses and their own people

That's pretty much exactly what Putin or Kim jong un is doing

Draft makes sense because soldiers are effectively a commodity (I don't mean this disrespectfully, I have a strong respect for the military and front line troops in particular, I'm talking about how a broad draft takes advantage of human power).

There could no doubt be targeted government recruiting of people with certain expertise, as I assume there was in the past among nuclear or rocket scientists. This is not the same as a draft, it's driven by special skills, not a broad need for manpower.
Of course, but in this case they were technically in the clear, unlike Ukraine where one of the smartest things the Biden administration did was to preemptively blow the false flag operations that were being planned to justify the invasion.

The Azerbaijanis were certainly in close coordination with the Russians to establish what the Russian red lines were, and go right up to them, but no further.

My five-year-old once managed to change the code on my bike lock while I was locking it, without me noticing before I scrambled it. Couldn't get it open after many guesses. We were outside a supermarket, so I went inside and bought a hammer, and smashed the lock to bits. Nobody even looked at me twice.

Well I was speaking in a modern context.

But if you want to speak about it in a historical context, I would ask you explain what you mean by the "west" and the west forcing their values.

And I would note you are speaking to someone who's country's been invaded by mongols, ottomans, and russians within the last 1000 years. They all seemed to want to "force" their values on the people living here.

Is this a western thing?

It could potentially be a pretty good interview question to weed out those who have spent the last 6 months memorizing algorithms.

Realistically, anyone with programming experience would immediately question the premise of being asked to implement a binary search on a whiteboard because realistically the only way anyone will succeed is by having memorized an implementation.
Drugs for children aren't only dosed per kg: Sometimes children have different bodily functions than adults [1]. Children might not clear out medicines like adults, for example, and it means they need a lower per KG dose. This is also a concern when giving children vaccines, though it is more due to the way a child's immune system operates differently than an adult's.

Don't forget flight simulators, the flip side of the same crucial situation, have equally elaborate design UI/UX simulations. And I believe power plants, especially nuclear power, have this type of elaborate design simulation, as well as everything in the (outer) space industry.

> These are not equal things. What Russia is doing is not related to how to US behaves. A war of permanent occupation, and oppression, under absolute rule, is not the same.

How can we know what Russia is going to do in Ukraine? Did Putin tell you? For now, we can say they're the same. Not to mention all those countries supported financially, militarily... by the US, who apply an absolute rule of oppression to their citizens.

They are non-sterilizing ; that is, they protect the vaccinee from getting the disease, but not from getting (and shedding) the virus.

We have sterilizing oral ones. They have safety issues, both personal and population level ones.

The essentially perfect way is to give everyone the non-sterilizing one as early as possible in life, and the sterilizing one at a later stage. The non-sterilizing one protects against the safety issues in the sterilizing one.

Really? Every time I want to open a bank account in Switzerland I am asked if I am an American citizen. I am not asked if I am a citizen of another country or any other specific place. I am only asked if I am an American citizen.

Are you asked if you are Swiss citizen when you open a bank account in America?

Per FATCA treaty you should be but that isn't happening because the mighty power the US holds over anyone dealing with USD. If a US bank doesn't share its Swiss tax cheats nothing happens. If a Swiss bank hides them they get taken to the cleaners and can loose to do business with USD which is a death blow for any bank.

"I could swear I've heard that the thing about body mass affecting the effectiveness of medication was a myth, but I'm not sure where I heard it."

It definitely affects it: This is part of the reason they ask you for your weight before you get an MRI with contrast (The amount of contrast changes on your weight) and IIRC, they change the dose of IV morphine depending on your weight. Realistically, this is also the case for some drugs - a small person generally gets drunk faster than a large one.

But it doesn't matter as much for some drugs than others: Two adults can generally take the same amount of ibuprofen because the differences aren't really all that large. Extremes are going to change this, though.
Right on the money.

These were popular and mixed visual metaphors (a drawing program in Flashs case) with programming.

Of course many things exist today, but they are all niche.

Flash was "art first" and it showed in how creative many of the things created were.

Today websites are primarily created by programmers and everything is all the more boring for it.
I disagree. I don't think giving people a coercive monopoly on doing things similar to them helps innovation. I think it's one of the main barriers to innovation. It prevents iterative improvements and encourages resources to be spent on preventing others from competing instead of making a better next generation product.

This is why, when PewDiePie infuriated his attackers by saying "I'm not White, I'm Swedish", he was actually going deeper into their "Theory" than they were.
I have always had this terrible habit of opening oodles of tabs, and my (windows) pc used to become really sluggish after a while, usually leading up to an actual crash within a matter of days (never closing my browser, and suspending/hibernating the laptop but not rebooting or shutting it down).

I then noticed that restarting the browser (which was, back then, just one of many open apps) instantly removed this sluggishness, and no more crashes - unless I forgot to restart the browser (I say "the browser" here because this happened regardless of which one I was using, out of IE, Chrome or Firefox).

Some time later, I set up a really underpowered Atom netbook for a friend, and, horrified at the slowdown when visiting some heavier pages, I tried to help with noScript (which didn't really work for my non-tech friend) and a "Click-to-play Flash" extension, and I marvelled at the difference it made. I soon started using it on my own laptop and immediately noticed that slowdowns and crashes had stopped occurring even if I didn't restart the browser for weeks.

I decided to completely uninstall Flash from Firefox, and for the few sites which absolutely required it I'd use Chrome which shipped with it - and recommended the same to most people I know, receiving the same feedback.

Years later, the "thoughts on Flash" memo came out, and I though "hey, cool, I got there faster than Steve".

I have hated Flash ever since my realization, irrespective of the security issues it was riddled (sorry if the word triggers you) with, and ditto with Acrobat Reader. I've come to consider Adobe a producer of awful, bloated, insecure and shitty software, and my computers are better off without any of it. I do love the PDF standard, just not Adobe's software for producing/consuming PDF documents.

All else aside, that's just bloody stupid. A lot of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language.

Not the case at all. Treaties are sometimes compromises and in sometimes coercion under the diplomatic guise of choice.

Otherwise there would be no need for a treaty and nations could choose to enforce others' values of their own free will.

So, you will ask for citations and then rip them apart because “every piece of software is vulnerable”?? If you don’t like what you get, why did you ask for it?

At first, you were merely overly aggressive. But this is turning into bullying.
You have an understanding of how the computer means things and what everything on the screen represents. This is by no means universal. To you it is like breathing, beneath thought.

Those who lack context as to what they're seeing, especially if frustrated and unable to parse what is visual noise to them, are likely to take it as the computer judging them negatively.
From the outside, you can see stats like "wells produce an average of 1000 barrels a day and last 20 years" and it looks like this doesn't have a big effect. However, most oil wells have output that decreases exponentially over the life of the well. After about 2 years of life, an average well's production decreases by 80-90%.

As a result, new wells account for an outsized fraction of production, and considering all of the costs involved (including high constant costs per well regardless of pumping output), new wells are the cheapest source of oil. Without new wells, the average price to produce a barrel of oil goes up substantially.

The US oil industry is starting the new wells they have in their backlog, but markets are ridiculously forward-looking and you should note that we are talking about the price of futures, not spot price today. Markets are anticipating having a much harder time getting further oil wells, and they are anticipating that the largest supply of currently unexploited oil is on public land. Put another way, current production doesn't involve much federal land, but future production expansion will largely have to happen on federal (and state) land.

The number of wells on federal land has been declining over its history: we are at 38,000 leases in 2020 compared to 55,000 in 2008 (per the BLM), and data presented to congress suggests that in the past, 25% of oil production was on federal land. Today, the number is 8%. That supports the theory that new oil wells will largely have to be started on federal land rather than private land.

This is a particular policy where extrapolation from current data undervalues the effect of the policy.
This is a great explanation. As someone who's a relatively recent convert to FP and am currently writing both imperative and functional code I will test my own depth of knowledge by trying to explain it

1. In traditional (imperative) languages you can have functions that deliberately or accidentally either modify the data they were given or do some other stuff that changes data somewhere else in your program or the computer.
Let's take an example of each. Say you have a function that adds two numbers a and b. In imperative languages you could return a+b into b. In other words the sum(a,b) operation would change b. That's not cool in FP: you are (almost never) allowed to change the input you received. This way whenever the function is called with a and b it always returns the sum (otherwise if you call sum(a,b) again you will pass in a modified b).

This makes every function guaranteed to always return the same value for the same arguments. If you accidentally try to change a parameter in your code it will fail.

But you still need to make changes to the world - you do so by chaining these functions and using the output from one as input to the next and so on.

Last but not least, functions that have side effects (e.g. print to the screen) are marked differently and usually their effect is isolated.
Spot on. Trying to argue piracy is some form of liberalism is nonsense.

Moldova is next, and Georgia. Both applied for EU membership this past week (token gesture as they won’t be admitted, certainly not quickly enough). The “no-fly zone” also means no Ukrainian forces flying and is kind of a benefit for Russia right now given how the war appears to be going. It’s also a risky escalation without much benefit. NATO jets shooting at Russian jets give Putin the justification he needs to go attack NATO countries.
And that's pushing the intended meaning of "need" to extremes. But the site indeed features "Cointelegraph" near the top of the page, just next to Reuters.

"Oh and once I tried to use Quora. It asked me to log in before I even knew what kind of a website it is. Now I hate Quora with a passion even though I'm not even sure what kind of a website it is exactly."

Quora used to be good. A place where you can ask any question and if it was interesting enough, interesting people answer. Like a good question about wikipedia, made Jimmy Wales answer directly.

But over time it all became very generic and force login to read anything, made me not visit at all anymore.

I don't disagree, the IP framework should be minimal, but you'll find the most staunch supporters are outside the US. If anything, the internet culture normalized piracy. It's ridiculous that in 2022 we re limiting what people can do with recipes, cheeses, bag designs, rounded corners, and cheap drugs. It doesnt have to be all-or-nothing, but IP has grown too much.

Did I say anything about birth control? I’m not Catholic. I’m talking about defining “child free” as some sort of identity instead of being a disappointment to your mom quietly.

The saying can be improved dramatically by prepending one word: added.

There's absolutely NO health benefit to having any added sugar in food products.

Manufacturers know that it is harmful, they know that they are encouraging addiction, and they know that consumers are suffering as a result. And then there's the advertising, especially to children. Ninety percent of the breakfast aisles in most grocery stores should absolutely be illegal and people should be ashamed to be poisoning their children with products like these[1].

It's this combination of addiction, harmfulness, and advertising that are so similar to the cigarette industry.

No war is right. That's it. No situation is black and white.. One could argue that Russia's invasion could've been avoided by simply talking while other places didnt even have a choice. Wars are politicians incompetence or simply not seeing others interests and points of view but their own. Remove yourself from countries try to look from a 3rd point of view and you will see. The only way to break this cycle... All these poor innocent lives in all these wars all of a sudden came to me as a result of what I see in my current age and I will be honest, I am more mad at humanity than ever... what we think we are vs what we actually are is so different and that should be opened up and taught in schools.

The code with this method looks a lot ugly for the basic binary search where you return -1 when an element isn't found.

https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-search/

JavaScript code:

function binarySearch(arr, target) {
let left = 0;
let right = arr.length - 1;

// empty arr, so we won't find anything
if (!arr.length) {
return -1;
}

// the target is less than the smallest number in arr
if (target < arr[left]) {
return -1;
}

// the target is greater then the smallest number in arr
if (arr[right] < target) {
return -1;
}

// These two `if` are needed for the case when there are only 2 elements
// in the array.
if (arr[left] === target) {
return left;
}
if (arr[right] === target) {
return right;
}

while (left + 1 !== right) {
const middle = left + Math.floor((right - left) / 2);
if (arr[middle] < target) {
left = middle;
} else {
right = middle;
}
}

if (arr[right] === target) {
return right;
}

return -1;
}
