Ethanol produced via non fermentation methods tends to have impurities like methanol or the separation process to purify the ethanol requires other not good compounds to bust the azeotropes. Everclear is 95% alcohol because that is the best you can do with distillation. You can 100% ethanol, but it has a trace amount of benzene so it can not be sold/consumed as food.

Why do you believe Ukraine isn't losing units at the same rate? Pentagon estimates Russia lost 3-5% and Ukraine 10% of their capacity.
That’s a thing that you can say. But I would be careful not to conflate military doctrine with geopolitical policy.
Multiple solutions are needed to address climate change and CCU is just one of many levers we can use to decarbonise our industries. Sure CCU isn't as direct as DAC, but coupling CCU with biogenic sources of CO2 can create a carbon negative process if the product doesn't degrade. Solvents may not fit the bill for storing carbon for centuries, but plastics do.

The more immediate impact for CCU is the emissions reduction achieved via displacement of fossil derived solvents.
Not sure what to tell you. I do all those, obviously, I live in a place where I also experienced -25 for couple weeks straight straight (and never anywhere close to -40). Agree on clutch and LCD, agree on not using washer fluid and scraping the windshield properly, and I'd add on lift your wiper blades now that the sun has some heat as your wipers will easily freeze on top of the mini-greenhouse that is your dash. But if I hop in my car and drive away immediately, the windshield will be foggy before I've gone a km - regardless whether I have the compressor (defog) on or not.
One thing to add: You're typically still obligated to file a return if the prepared taxes are not correct. You're not "off the hook" in any way by accepting what the prepared statement says. This mostly bites e.g. entrepreneurs with more complicated taxes, especially if you filed for an extension on the business side.

Google, not being a government, may editorialize, using the same right you avail yourself of when you post your opinion, but not mine.

Google cannot censor. By definition. Neither can Yandex. Both can be censored however, although only the latter is.

The Russian government can & does censor, including, starting tomorrow, 15-year jail-sentences for „misleading statements“ about you-know-what.
Here is an article with a summary that I submitted earlier: https://www.barrons.com/news/russian-tech-giant-yandex-says-...
Super liberal, don't agree with this move at all.

It's one thing to have people making false claims, but covering the former president tying of election his claim to the current Ukraine crises should not fall into that category.
So in other words, "All Googlers Are Bastards"?

This hardly seems like a productive sentiment. A system is only as corrupt as the people in it, and this person is openly trying to address a specific problem the best way they know how. Why would you try to dissuade them? I don't understand what your end game is except to make Google more corrupt.

I appreciate the correction. Definitely didn't expect so many replies, but I'm learning a lot.
I think you misunderstood what the commenter was trying to say. He didn't mention anything about becoming emotionless, but becoming less emotional. I think we can all agree that new first world generations are on the extreme side of the spectre of emotions and would benefit from leaning to the opposite side a bit.

The GP did point out that war was not needed to make the changes suggested, and they are good in times of peace and plenty as well. We understand that striving to be less offensive is good, but we hesitate to advocate that people become less easily offended because it can sound like we are blaming the victim. But it is good for everyone's emotional health to be able to be unaffected by the intentional or unintentional offenses of others. And the benefits of stoicism aren't about being emotionless, but not letting those emotions you let yourself be open to, be the guiding total of who you are. Anger and joy can be like other instinctual needs like defecation or hunger, just signals to cue your intelllect. Eastern traditions would say something like embracing the moment and how you feel, but not becoming attached to it or it's source.
Yandex employees are among the tech elite in Russia—overwhelmingly well-educated, liberal, and cosmopolitan. They were opposed to the Crimea invasion in 2014.

You haven't done your homework.
Except their claim is over a holding company that has lost all hold over it's actual profit generating subsidiaries:

> In the event that we were prevented from distributing additional funds from our Russian subsidiaries to our Dutch parent company, Yandex would not have sufficient resources to redeem a majority of the Notes

Better take the 50% haircut than the long game that gets you nothing.
That's pretty much always a problem of memory corruption, which, imo, is very much a separate thing from undefined behavior. Yes, double-free, use-after-free, or reading out-of-bounds is undefined behavior, but -Onone won't make those "better" somehow, and you just can't do anything about it without just completely and utterly changing what C is (and, were that done, some other language would just take its place as an unsafe language that's very nice for trivially making performant code, and we'd be back where we started)
It sure sounds edgy to say things like "how intolerant the liberal mindset is to other global viewpoints" and "it's hard for people from the west to see things from a different point of view than modern liberalism". And certainly, people should seek to understand different perspectives that clash with their own assumptions.

But reading that article, its main foreign assumption is that the desires of the individual Ukrainians for freedom is irrelevant. Not temporarily ignored out of pragmatism. Not disappointingly accepted due to force majeure. But rather rendered irrelevant by the desire of Russia to rule over them as subjects.

Coming from the Western world, this is called tyranny. And it's on proud display in the wanton destruction of civilian targets in Ukraine. The effects on the people don't matter - the subjugation of them is the priority. Is it any wonder that the further east you go in Europe, the more people suffered under the USSR, the stronger the support for Ukraine is? One generation later, and we have Ukrainians from all walks of life taking up arms in defense of their individual liberties - the young because they've known nothing else, and the old so that their children never have to know.

Despite using plenty of normative language, the only moral contribution of articles like this is illustrating that freedom is an aberration that needs defending. There are moral concepts worth fighting for, and Western liberalism is one of them. As my grandmother often said, "they don't know how good they have it in this country".

Yeah, but it won't take the algorithm long to figure out who you are and terminate/ban your new account. And, because you tried to circumvent controls, any personal accounts you have are also now banned forever. TBF I read about this on HN, not my personal experience.
Objectively, the CDC are the dumbfucks who said not to mask up when this thing first started. They may have done that for what they felt were good reasons (they didn't want to run out of masks for frontline workers) or bad ones (the WHO didn't think aerosol transmission of COVID was possible). Their advice should be subject to more scrutiny.
I'm curious ^
That's been already blocked by Google, with reviews deleted, so not much I guess.

If I'm reading this correctly, if the NASDAQ suspends trading of Yandex on Monday it will be the 6th such day of trading suspension. Their "0.75% Convertible Notes" will be eligible for redemption and holders could demand $1.25 billion + interest when they only have $615 million + RUB 47 billion ($437 million) = ~$1.05 billion. And RUB is falling...
I feel like I was pretty forthright about how little I know about the Slavic world. I'm certainly not telling anyone anything. I stated what my assumptions were based on what I knew and asked questions hoping for someone with firsthand knowledge to let me know if/where I was off-base.
Yep - this is exactly what I use!

Although I plug both into the Mac directly.

The article confused me too with its talk of dongles and DP ports on docks. Just get the right cables man! :-)

Side note - TB docks are still stupidly expensive, even after Intel changed the licensing which was supposed to make them cheaper. If I'm remembering that correctly.

Side side note: DisplayLink for 4K on M1 macs is still not working right! :-(
Not doing both = money left on the table. Game theory says they will as long as they can, as in the extra $ outweighs the subscriber loss. It’s terrible that the brand damage isn’t weighted more heavily and the calculations seem to be so short-sighted, but that’s where we are I guess.
Some people might have talked about hacked voting machines (who came up with that theory?).

Others talk about stopped counts, regions not reporting until seeing the results of other regions, and then ballot harvesting to make up numbers.
I don’t get why people think youtube should be forced to host stuff they don’t want to host. Youtube should be socialized and forced to become a content-neutral storage? But why?!?

FAR FAR FAR easier and cheaper to replace armored vehicles, especially for Russia in particular. The biggest problem will be the modern electronics and sensor systems. I think a lot of infrared sensor systems, ballistic computers, etc. are sold globally by Thales (France), Rafael, or Elbit (Israel). IF Russia imports those, and I think it has in the past, the global sanctions will disrupt those parts supplies, and they are pretty important to effective situational awareness and accuracy in a modern MBT. The rest of a tank is mostly steel and composites that can be churned out fairly quickly at Uralvagonzavod: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralvagonzavod

But if they can't import the latest and greatest parts to make T-90Ms or T-72B3Ms....they have such a huge stockpile of "good enough" older T-72s in storage, they can just use those with a minor refurbishment period. With what we've seen of their tactics and (lack of) skills, it won't seriously impact their battlefield results to field early 1980s-era tank technology.
Whose fault is this? Are you all still using YouTube? Propping up the U.S. Corpocracy by watching kittens and puppies? Or are you a blogger and making bank yourself by talking about technology or cooking?

Censor is censor: Please avoid editorializing the discussion
Google disagrees with you. It presents this definition of the verb "censor" in a one-box:

You can see opposite tendencies looking at the ground forces.
Stacey Abrams still claims she was cheated out of her governorship in Georgia.

There are many such examples.
There is no easy answer: on one side you have censorship but on the other you have noise. Decentralized solutions produce a lot of noise and there is no existing protocol to automatically separate noise from signal.

> Because that institution then worked another four times without incident. The institution, as flawed as it is, still kept transferring power peacefully.

The question you aren't answering is: At what point do YOU draw the line. Stop trying to explain that the line wasn't crossed in 2020 election (or in any other election before that).

When, according to you, is the line crossed and the system has shown itself to be faulty.

My claim is that your answer will be either a deflection or implication that the system can never be faulty (anything but a clear answer).
Now modern nations will have an example case to understand what happens if you don’t. I’m going to guess based on what we’re able to see at this point, that no country is going to change their military doctrine based on these new data points, because they aren’t going to be willing to pay the price that seems to have be paid as a result. I could be wrong. It’s not totally clear at this point that Russia is going to be able to pay the price either, so I guess we’ll all find out together.
But sadly 4K is still not properly supported on M1 macs!

NFTs are going to crash, much like tulip bulbs did in the Netherlands long ago, and people who get out in time will make money and those left holding the bag at the end will lose. But if in the meantime someone wants to play in that casino, I don't think that's a reason for a boycott (though it may be a reason to take care, if a company goes in so deep that it's a survival risk to them).
reminds my of 2008 (Gerogian invasion) or 2014 (Ukrainian invasion) - If you don't deal with issue, it's becoming a bigger issue. Sonner or later NATO will have to deal with Russia, the question is when.
That's fair. Instructions on drinking bleach might cause others to be harmed. This is different because nobody has ever come to harm because of this. I'd imagine if people believed this, there would have been some kind of violence on say, January 6th the day of the insurrection-- sorry, inauguration.

1) Hipp, Wyrick & Company, Inc. (Hwaci, the legal owner of the code) does not actively enforce its rights available. This does not mean it will not affect operations in certain countries, while computer code is not (yet) affected, music definitely is (see GEMA in Germany). Additionally, in an adverse purchase of a company Hwaci could be bought by a scrupulous corporation (à la patent trolls of today) and enforce the copyright in countries where Hwaci has residual rights. If somehow that did not happen but Hwaci faces bankruptcy and wound up in favour to the State of North Carolina (the default option), we will have a similar problem as a particular Canadian company that unfortunately currently escapes my mind. This is what worries large companies: a permissive license which is recognised internationally cannot be annulled (unless they breached the very simple requirement), sure for new users it would suck (even GPL doesn't close the hole), but the new company cannot sue companies with existing licences because they have a very permissive license.

They haven't been able to modernize due to budget.

This document from 2017 was written by the US military and analyzes and points out weaknesses in the Russian BTG (Battalion Tactical Group) doctrine and has some excellent points that make a lot of what is currently occurring fall into place.
https://www.benning.army.mil/armor/earmor/content/issues/201...

>Current Russian state net revenues from energy cannot fund the same modernization period as before.

Basically they can't modernize.

It then goes into the current Russian BTG doctrine and how it leaves armored groups exposed due to a lack of supporting infantry and air.

>The BTG’s may be vulnerable to raids, counterattacks and other surprise movements because reliance on analog C2 limits subordinate units’ ability to understand and react to changes of circumstance.

>A BTG had the entire brigade’s support and enabling resources, but it had only one mechanized-infantry
battalion

>According to Russian Army manuals, in the field as many as 50 percent
of infantry soldiers can be required for local security and routine administrative tasks. This leaves relatively few infantrymen available for mounted squads. Squads are usually organized ad hoc and are less than fully manned,which makes them less effective and less independent. For opponents, it also means that it requires fewer casualties to neutralize the Russian squads.

>The lack of infantry causes BTG commanders to prefer to isolate urban infantry strongpoints for prolonged sieges instead of assaulting

The document also goes into supply issues that BTGs will likely face.

Basically the current Russian doctrine is ridiculously ineffective. It involves lots of independent battalions of almost pure armor. Which get destroyed consistently due to a lack of supporting infantry. To the point where it's quite possible they'll lose this war. The Russians thought it was effective in Chechnya and Syria and the 2014 war with Ukraine since they simply didn't face significant resistance. All of the above weaknesses are now very apparent however.

One last thing

>The current military and political leaders are the same leaders who introduced the BTG structure; their reputations
and careers are closely tied to its success. Instead of moderating BTG rollout and keeping a portion of the Russian
Army in a divisional structure to train for high-intensity CAM, Russia’s leaders are accelerating the rate that units
convert into BTGs.
Even in a private repo, putting it on GH means sharing it with the third-party Microsoft, which is illegal in many countries.
I do. War on the Rocks had an article about Russian Logistics[1] which mentions that:

"The Russian army does not have enough trucks to meet its logistic requirement more than 90 miles beyond supply dumps. To reach a 180-mile range, the Russian army would have to double truck allocation to 400 trucks for each of the material-technical support brigades."

Task and Purpose has been doing some videos on the war in Ukraine, and they use that article to evaluate Russia's progress against those supply limitations[2], and basically it all lines up that Russian progress has been constrained by supply, and that the current pause is likely because of the next actions they will take[3].

If Russia is preparing to up its information warfare game does this give them better defenses against inbound attacks? While letting FSB selectively allow outbound attacks?

He will say anything for attention won't he?

Countries that have not been rapidly decarbonising (my own included) need to accept that they fucked up, and their short term lever is to cut their wasteful consumption of energy to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.

I'm not sure what Musk is on about here though with respect to the USA, I don't think they are reliant on Russian fossil fuel exports to a meaningful extent, it's just that the fossil fuels have a market price that is reflecting their insecurity.

Reliance on fossil fuels for bulk energy is now a high risk gamble.

If we increase CO2 emissions now, then we are likely to cause ecological damage which will take longer to recover from than nuclear war.
