> You could hit Texas with all of Russia's nukes simultaneously and you'd still fail to kill everyone in that state.

It's not hard to imagine pockets of holdouts who happened to be deep underground or whatever, but could you share the facts and analysis you're basing this assertion on?

> If you perfectly deployed all of Russia's nukes against population centers in the US, you'd struggle to kill half the population in that one country.

Half the US population lives in 146 counties, shaded here:
https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/bnh1ib/half_of_the...

More info: https://www.apmresearchlab.org/blog/unequal-counties

The best estimates I can find say that Russia has just under 6000 nuclear warheads, e.g., https://fas.org/issues/nuclear-weapons/status-world-nuclear-...

"Perfectly deployed," that averages 41 warheads for each of the above 146 counties. I can't find reliable assessments of the average size/yield of Russia's warheads, but directionally, I struggle to understand your claim that even perfect deployment of this nuclear arsenal would have a hard time killing half the US population. (As an aside, killing even 10% of the US population, so ~33 million people, in a nuclear strike would obviously be utterly unprecedented in the history of our species.)

> If there were an exchange of several thousand nuclear weapons between the US and Russia (highly unlikely even in a nuclear war), the world would keep marching on, despite the vast destruction in several nations. There would be no nuclear winter at all, not even remotely close.

Could you provide supporting materials to help me understand the confidence behind these claims?

The best response to "Starship Troopers" is "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman, which gives a great account of the use of propaganda to manufacture a war.

The movie is a terribly stupid take on a very good (and widely, perhaps deliberately, misunderstood) book.

It says a lot about Heinlein that he wrote Haldeman to praise his take on the subject.

Greetings,

I have been working as a Full-stack engineer focused majorly on front-end with Javascript and React.js, Redux, HTML5, CSS.

I have built and architected MVP webapps with teams and led projects to add more functionalities to the MVP apps on internal and main product mobile and web-apps with tech stack including Node.js, Express.js, React.js, Redux, Next.js for SSR (server side rendering), Google Firebase, React-native , React-native-web to share one code base and make it a Mono-repo architecture.

- I have experience working with remote teams for a Canada based startup to build their Android/iOS app with React-Native.

I've been working with a remote team for 2 years. Built audio-video conferencing web app using Agora's SDK for WebRTC and RTM channels with React.js, Redux, Google Firebase with Node.js, Express.js on backend. I have also led a support tool project here.

I am currently working remotely. Architected and built the Reporting system with custom stack replatforming from the previous service provider, Looker. Tech stack here is React.js, MobX, Node.js+Express.js based Sails.js server with MySQL and ElasticSearch DBs.

Apart from this, I have worked for a online shop that was helping restaurant business to help grow their workspaces. This was built with Python, Django, GraphQL & Apollo client on front-end with React and Typescript. I maintained the component repo as a separate library to support the main app.

I'd appreciate and like to learn about market and product management/building that leads to a busines. In any case, looking forward to connecting with you guys.
I think the reframing of the problem does make it look easier at first, but then you end up needing those three special cases which in my opinion negates the elegance.

Also, since the reframed problem never terminates early, the described algorithm always has the same number of lookups (i.e. you always get the worst-case).
What does that have to do with the West? That is a Russian problem! Since when do Western governments govern Russia? At no point were laws in Russia made and enforced by anyone but the Russian government. And I did not know the oligarchs were Westerners? Yes there was a lot of stealing and shady practices. Which is how you got the oligarchs. Which are Russian.
So, too hard.
Don't listen to this. Just talk to your doctor and supplement. The main way that humans get vitamin D is sunlight. If you aren't outdoors a lot or live far north it's even more likely you need it. It would be good to get tested by your doctor, maybe with your current lifestyle you are just fine and your vitamin D levels are normal. Mine weren't, taking supplements got it back up to normal.
I think most of us would agree that more expensive oil for a little while is an acceptable sacrifice to help people be free from tyranny.
I always thought that nationalists are opposition in Russia. Their goal is national and cultural homogenity on smaller territory (e.g. without Caucasus), so they should be naturally against territorial expansion. I'd rather call Putinism/"Eurasianism" imperialist politics.
This is a cheap shot and probably inaccurate summary, but it seems like:

1. Be welcoming to oligarchs who buy land to build mansions and raise house prices.
2. Get housing crisis.
3. Sorry war refugees, it's too expensive to house you here.
Amazon near tipping point of shifting from rainforest to savannah study suggests
Syria is a proxy war that's been ongoing since 2011. Russians were invited in by the government of that country. We are thus supporting the rebels.
UK also introduced much less sanctions against Russia, and conveniently gave a few weeks notice to a oligarchs so they can sell their houses and shift their money abroad. Overall there is a lot of talk (obviously given who is the PM), but not much substance. The lack of visa waivers is a perfect example of that. It's easy to show solidarity in words, give your speech in Ukrainian, but actually doing something is not something Johnson is good at...
All that still might be true, but there are a lot of instilled/inculcated principles or "rules of life" if you will. They might seem contradictory but those principles/rules fire up in certain situations differently. Hence there's no manual that one may read and follow, but rather it requires "to live" to gain that "lived experience" that would make applying those rules subconscious.
One example of such rule, which I do have, by nature of growing up until my twenties in Russia is - "do not be a victim". Under no circumstance be a victim. Always turn lemon into a lemonade and make sure no one saw you being a weak/victim. There are different ways of doing it, but in light of recent events I see that this plays quite a lot. It's endurance and resilience and repeating like mantra, that these sanctions, this confrontation, as painful as they are, are to our benefits and we will better them.
They're also the ones refusing an outright ban on Russian gas and oil right now, because they're addicted to it. This is why Eastern Europe, Poland and the Baltics trust the US and UK, France but not Germany. President Trump was right to pressure them get off Russian gas, build an LPG terminal and increase their military spending to at least 2% of their GDP. Other NATO members complied, but not Germany. They are going to do it anyway now that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Both the ≥2% and the terminal.
If they talk about the war, the same as Russian citizens

Russia has given out nearly 1,000,000 passports and citizenship to Ukrainians in the eastern breakaway regions over the last two years
Try to apply your perfectionism to the meta-game rather than each “move” in your current game. Usually perfectionism is an application of optimization along too few dimensions (quality) rather than actually striving for the big goals.
It's why they want us back in the office. The executives do the same thing, so they know.
Putin wouldn't even be a thing, and modern world would be vastly different, if NATO did not exist.

> What was Russia's excuse before NATO was created?

Excuse for what? What are you even talking about? Do you even know what NATO is and when and how it was formed?
I used to think that but now I think it is far more. Countries where we have bases essentially become vassal states, reliant on us for protection. This means we get favorable trade agreements as well as the opportunity to shape the world to our needs. It allows the US to exert massive influence over the course of world events and allows for the perpetuation of the US as the worlds top economic power.
I have talked to a bunch of Russians recently who are fleeing.

There is definitely collateral damage happening for "Russians" that are not in Russia (and Belarusians). Belarus is a good example of where we've already forgotten that they voted to remove Lukaschenko and then were violently repressed because of it.

It's one thing to throw red paint at the Embassy, which is an official part of the Russian government. It's quite another to damage a shop that is "Russian" (I believe the picture I saw of this was in Germany, but I can't find it now because there is such a volume of content flowing with regard to Ukraine).

The other thing that seems to come up constantly is that it's the Russian peoples fault regardless (for not removing Putin, etc). Mostly I suspect people that live in Western democracies and have never had to fear anything.

I'm personally in favour, I think, of helping anyone that wants to leave Russia, to leave. Treating them as refugees from Putin, albiet in not quite as high risk as those in Ukraine.

If there is a brain drain out of Russia, that's a good thing until change happens.
Free trade and cheap labour are republican policies though. That's what the republican god Reagan was all about
If they can mess with them remotely, then it's game over for any sort of security property you think the phone has; there's no reason to think they have more capabilities than other governments or some of the larger organized crime syndicates.
"choose milk or orange juice that has been fortified with vitamin D" You mean like supplements?
This is a conflict Russia is having against the West via Ukraine, they're fighting against the Westernisation of Ukraine, they've said as much.
Ask Poland? So far they've very enthusiastically accepted and helped Ukrainian refugees. As have other Slavic EU countries.

Not saying the UK shouldn't accept them, only saying that the viewpoint that they're not required to is probably correct, legally.
Google results unaffected by location bias and the like? Not sure what this is supposed to be

There is actually a whole lot of details and nuance hiding behind the bullet points.

For example, "Communication Skills" is not mere language fluency. It refers to interaction with each of the listed stakeholders using their language, understanding their pov and anticipating their needs. Thus with "Clients" focus on "What and Why", with "Marketing" on "Product Positioning and Product Family", with "Peers" on "Module interfaces and Technical details" etc. etc. Basically the "Senior" Engineer needs to have a 360-degree view of both the primary Engineering discipline and all the ancillary Business disciplines (as needed).
Data? Pew poll says that trump won non-college-educated white men 4:1 in 2016 and only 3:1 in 2020. Isn’t that going the opposite direction of your claim?
People in Poland are just accepting them to their homes. Nearly million refugees now and not one refugee camp.
> For UK citizens wanting to bring a family member from Ukraine, I hope it's not like the regular, draconian family scheme where approximately 50% of UK citizens with a foreign spouse cannot meet the eligibility criteria to bring in even their own spouse, so they have to move abroad to be together. (I was astonished when I first learned that, as I'd grown up imagining that genuine marriage conferred the right to live together.)

That astonishes me too! Which condition (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse) do most people fail? Presumably poor knowledge of English (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/knowledge-of-english) or too low income (https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/proof-income)?
I had kids.
This can change, and probably will now. Liberals want a peaceful, rules-governed world, like international law.

When a country so flagrantly violates those rules with the consent of other large nations like China, and does an enormous amount of harm, extreme threat (or use) of force is the only valid response.

EU militarization is near certain to happen. And hopefully much of Asia too. Taiwan needs a militarized Japan
Probably because it's largely irrelevant to the matter at hand - Belarus is not the country getting invaded, and Ukraine is not the one that violated the agreement so there's zero justification for an invasion from either Russia or Belarus.

If anything, highlighting Belarus's involvement in the invasion serves to demonstrate that Russia's meddling in Belarus's elections was to install a puppet government and is a violation of their independence (and subsequently the memorandum).
> I doubt an article like this will survive on HN.

Do you seriously? You think that HN is the home of black-and-white thinking and mindless, uncritical acceptance of main-stream media?

You may want to examine your own built-in biases if that is what you see on this site.
Density in this country, even in the SE (where I also live), is not that high. The "near-constant development" is not a picture I recognise - in fact, we build precious few new homes each year, far too few, and the number is going down. In 2020 we only built 123k homes?

I recognise the issue with congestion, although I would contend that's a national issue. Oxford is probably as bad/worse as anywhere else. The cost of housing is a huge issue, but that's mostly supply/demand because we're not building anything like enough homes.

"Not xenophobic in the slightest" doesn't match my experience. Most English people don't even like Scots/Welsh/Irish, you don't have to go far overseas to find people we have a nationally visceral reaction to. I'm not sure anyone objective could see our English media / watch our sports / look at the workforce statistics / look at political leaflets in this country and judge us "not xenophobic". London is literally the only place I would consider that not being a huge issue.

My understanding is that it's more that storage has increased in speed so much that the overheads of the privilege transitions between user and kernel space and the synchronous filesystem APIs are the limiting factors at this point.

This is why we see specialized mechanisms like io_uring in the Linux kernel.

It is really good.
This post smells of propaganda and queue-anon promulgators. (OP’s post history is quite telling.)

Not once did the Wikipedia creator mention (Z)apad or (V)ostok. These vehicles are designated such to mark their order of battle during the pre-invasion pretend exercises that they came from—-West/Zapad or East/Vostok. Western brigades and divisions also have identifiers.

What is it with myth-creators and their gravitation toward symbols?

FWIW, having a joint (and much respected) army in pre-1990 Yugoslavia did not stop the country dissolving in a pretty bad civil war (or you could say war between neighbours depending on what kind of federation/union you consider Yugoslavia to have been).

Sufficiently fueled nationalistic sentiment can break through any attempt to "hide" it. Not even financial interdependence could keep the country together (plenty of companies depended on sourcing parts in other republics).
I have not used BTRFS for years, but I remember at some point a BTRFS regression prevented me from booting my system. It is hard to regain trust after such a meltdown from such a fundamental component. That said, I believe my Synology NAS uses btrfs and it has never had an issue.

On similar note, where is HW going once it completes its lifecycle in the cloud?

Are pods being donated to schools?

This would be a great idea, is to give a pod to a school with management tools etc and teach the kids how to interact with effectively [aws/gcp/azure] mgmt tools to build up a skillset early and accelerate how the yoots understand what cloud is and how its managed.
This Twitter post gets it a little mixed up https://twitter.com/ItsTheNewSouth/status/150068272184004608...

There are at least two such known accounts. In one case (not actually in the video) the boy was rescued. The fate of this boy is unknown.
Actually, it looks like the official statement points towards the opposite direction. You can read it here, no need to believe my words:

Just to supplement the info in your post: Poland had 39 divisions, about 1 000 000 men. It took Germany about 14 days to get a decisive advantage.
Potential reasons not to rely on the US:

- They become your military adversary.

- Some autocrat-minded person gets elected as President of the US and refuses to provide the EU money, services, and weapons until the EU complies with some demand against it's own interests.

- Perhaps in combo with the second item, the US could lead the EU on, to further it's interests, and let the EU down at the worst possible times.
I love how they went through all the internal hoops to make this public and consequently put the SECURITY.md in there. Just in case someone finds a vulnerability in GW-Basic after all these years...
France/UK have enough so that an attack on France/UK can cause unacceptable losses for Russia (the loss of 5-25 of its biggest cities) at the cost of the existence of the entirety of France/UK after Russian retaliation.

But let's say Russia uses tactical nukes to kill a Polish air base or an Italian carrier or an Estonian infantry division? Would BoJo or Macron press the button and consign his nation to nuclear destruction? No he certainly wouldn't.
Do you happen to be from the Russian minority in these countries?

Actual Latvians and Estonians are far more ready to defend their countries.

Fun fact: "Consortium News" is reported by a single person. And despite the company being labeled as being American, the one person who writes the articles for Consortium News... is Egyptian living in Alexandria. None of that is to say this is inherently wrong for any of those reasons, but it's important to keep in mind that this is just one person's opinion from a very specific cultural viewpoint, and also that this one person is (for reasons I'll leave you to decide) pretending to be from a different culture as he presents those opinions.
