> But this war in Ukraine showed one simple truth: if you arm the population, the invasion can only destroy the infrastructure.

There are no simple conclusions about what is happening right now in Ukraine, and it is a fool's errand to declare any kind of conclusion 10 days into an invasion which already displaced millions of people and in which almost every major Ukrainian city is under siege teetering on the edge.

Russia's economy destroyed? Ukraine successfully resisted the invasion? All Russia can do is destroy infrastructure?

All those jumping to conclusions regarding the Ukraine situation remind me of Bush standing in front of a Mission Accomplished banner after 20 days of the Iraq invasion.
When do you take this walk and how do you spare 1-2h a day? Do you have kids?
I don’t think they have the economic resources to sustain a prolonged engagement or occupation.
The most vociferous against Russia today are the ones that predicted Putin is not a gambler and would not attack. These are not Putin's puppets. These are the people considered well respected International relations people.

To call everything and everyone Putin's propaganda and disinformation is simplistic. Hindsight is 2020, it always feels like we missed the obvious signs.
I think I understand what's confusing you in what I say. Let me clarify: the relation between DAI and KYC is a soft relation and by that I mean that KYC is not hardcoded in the technology. But by proxy, since the USD is KYCed, anything that's backed by USD is KYCed and thats enough to make say DAI not as permisionless as TerraUSD in practice. Now it may make no difference to you for such and such situations. Its just that when my life is at stake I wouldnt take any risk and choose the best available tech.
At this point, my opinion is that Putin miscalculated, no one predicted the European reaction, the West has opportunity for better long-term outcomes, and there is little that the West will do to minimize the suffering in Ukraine at the current point in time. The West is not ready to engage in all out warfare with Russia. Whether the West will lean into this opportunity remains to be seen.

Right now, I'm spending time gaining as many points of view as possible to gain understanding where I lack it. But it is obvious that there are many very different world views between the countries of the world and the generations of citizens in each.

>The net effect is the same.

It's not though. The west doesn't come to Russia and shove their grubby hands into the bank accounts of ordinary Russians to steal their money, resources and taxes, and starve them to death. Russia does that to their citizens and bares the sole responsibility of these actions, not the west. Like come on, Russia can choose to stop the wear at any time and the sanctions would be lifted but they're not doing that.

>I don’t accept the decision to dehumanize an entire nation’s citizens for the acts of their authoritarian elite.

So we should just let Russia invade whatever country it wants and kill their way through Europe because otherwise ordinary Russian citizens might suffer? What about Ukrainian citizens and their suffering? What about the poor pensioners in Eastern Europe who won't be able to afford the increased energy bills due to the war and might die because instead of buying medicine, now have to pay insane energy bills? What about the European taxpayers who will now have to pay increased costs to house and care for millions of displaced Ukrainian refugees? So Russia and Russians are not the only ones paying the price for Putin's actions, all of Europe is.

By your logic, you would have let Hitler exterminate an entire continent because fighting Germany would have been tough on the innocent people of Germany for the acts of their leader (not that it wasn't, but Hitler had to be defeated and that was the price). Except that now, to defeat Putin, instead of going to war with Russia and have millions of people needlessly die on both sides, we can bankrupt Russia and cripple it from the inside, and have minimal casualties on both sides (Europeans will also suffer from the war and these sanctions but the important thing is we save Ukraine and as many Ukrainians as we can, as I doubt Putin will ever see a trial in the Hague for his war crimes).
Wikipedia is very good.
Let’s be clear. The Russians being punished outside of Russia have blood on their hands. They should never have been allowed to buy property and football clubs in the uk, because they weee gangster crooks who had stolen from their own country. That the uk govt was complicit in this at the time doesn’t make it wrong to act against them now.

I have a lot more sympathy for the people hurt in Russsia now. Russians, whether they have been brainwashed into supporting Putin or not, are in for a bad time in the coming years.
I wasn't saying the Quest out of box experience is bad, more that they're holding back wider market adoption through exclusivity deals and throwing up arbitrary walls that may put off potential consumers and competing headset manufacturers who don't have the money Meta/Oculus has to throw around.

The markets still relatively small and the cost of entry high, so giving potential customers any reason to buy a console instead is a mistake in the longer term in my opinion (better to have a smaller slice of a much bigger pie), and might make studios less likely to invest their time in making VR games
I used Fluffychat for a few months. I found its performance was rather lacking. It had slowdown issues and general problems that I didn't find with other clients.
The article is revisionist BS. There was no "misunderstanding" of what Apartheid and its value system were, it is just that back then, institutional racism wasn't a deal breaker for allies involved in overt and covert proxy wars against communism in southern africa. The South African government negotiations with Mandela predate the fall of the Berlin wall and the Soviet collapse. The post facto rationalization to say "Apartheid was the real socialism, and should have been rejected for that reason" rings a little hollow when it's said in retrospect, but it's on-message for reason.com
Please elaborate, otherwise the statement above is futile

Oh yeah, this was a huge annoyance when I was in another country.
I’m probably an average truck driver. Well, I’m lazy as hell but have enough experience from the ‘00s that I can get away with being lazy. I will easily take home over $50k this year with putting in the minimal effort to not get fired for ‘underproducing’.

Makes me wonder where they’re finding these $20k-something long haul truckers they cite in TFA really.

I also drive for an owner/operator and get to see the revenue that goes to the truck (even though I’m not supposed to be able to), know what I get paid, how much fuel goes into the truck and have a pretty good general idea what the other expenses are and know he isn’t losing money having me drive this truck around.

If someone is making $28k/year driving a truck they’re doing something very, very wrong…if I cared enough I could easily find another job making more than I’m currently earning and be in another truck by the end of the week, done it before and will probably do it again if they irritate me enough though I’m trying to be good and want to buy a condo outright next year.

So, yeah, there’s always been a driver shortage but it isn’t really over some imaginary low pay problem, mostly because it is easy enough to get a better job where you don’t have to live in a truck and deal with the annoying shippers and receivers (which is pretty bad right now due to COVID-19 staffing issues) after you get a year or so of over the road experience.

I read TESL during my Master's and I remember being very confused with the way
it described decision tree learning. I remember being pleased with myself that I
had a strong grip on decision tree learning before reading TESL and then being
thoroughly confused after reading about them on TESL.

Eyballing the relevant chapter again (9.2) I think that may have been because it
introduces decision tree learning with CART (the algorithm), whereas I was more
familiar with ID3 and C4.5. Perhaps it's simpler to describe CART as TESL does,
but decision trees are a propositional logic "model" (in truth, a theory) and
for me the natural way to describe them, is as a propositional logic "model"
(theory). I also get the feeling that Quinlan's work is sidelined a little,
perhaps because he was coming from a more classical AI background and that's
poo-poo'd in statistical learning circles. If so, that's a bit of a shame and a
bit of an omission. Machine learning is not just statistics and it's not just
AI, it's a little bit of both and one needs to have at least some background in
both subjects to understand what's really going on. But perhaps it's the data
mining/ data science angle that I find a bit one-sided.

Sorry to digress. I'm so excited when people discuss actual textbooks on HN.
Regardless of the outcome of this war, Ukraine utilized the internet, crypto, and crowdsourcing to perfection. From organizing a cyber army of volunteers to using memes, they did an outstanding job.
Nowadays I personally define a problem as "hard" if respected colleagues tried and failed to solve it.

Very little is due to Apple's shift away from Intel chips on Mac, but an enormous amount is due to Apple's shift to TSMC-manufactured Apple Silicon on iPhone.

iPhone is largely what created the sustained, predictable volumes for high-end chips that has allowed TSMC flourish, and TSMC is what has allowed AMD's strategy to take flight.

If AMD was stuck with GlobalFoundry, they would be nowhere.
Amazon did contribute patches back to elasticsearch. Just not as much as Elastic wanted I guess? On the other hand I do think Amazon was probably in the wrong to call their hosted service Elasticsearch.

Professional fluency in Mandarin, can read both traditional and simplified characters. Worked as a translator for Taiwan's govt.

I have conversational fluency in Japanese, as I live in Japan and have a Japanese wife.

I'd like to learn Korean or Thai, as we travel to those places often (at least before the pandemic). I've learned the Korean alphabet, memorizing it on the airplane over there, the first time I went, actually. I can read Korean aloud, such as when ordering at a restaurant, but I sure as hell don't know what any of the sounds I am making mean. It's fun to go to a restaurant, order something, and be surprised at what comes to your table.
Could they incarcerate millions of people? Nope, but even in Belarus it was possible to incarcerate tens of thousands of people. Half a million people on street couldn't win against 20,000 of people with guns.

Main problem that in Russia people who live in Moscow are too well-fed and their standards of living are too high to go and protest with a risk to lose everything. And protests outside of capital mean very little since distances are too big. No one gonna notice if 1000 people in small russian city will land in prison.

Again I wish that people in Russia were as brave as those in ukrainians protecting their home, but I personally is not the one of brave ones. I wish I could do more to prevent this. Sorry.

Is fleeing make me a bad person now? Nope, I dont think so.
I appreciate that you're able to show that some people hold such beliefs, but the numbers I'm finding suggest that it's still less common than beliefs in, say, 9/11-conspiracy theories.

Don't get me wrong -- I appreciate that you can show that there're advocacy groups in that arena. But there're groups who advocate 9/11 conspiracy-theories, aliens, anti-vaccination, flat-Earth, mysticism, etc., so the mere existence of advocacy groups doesn't seem like a distinction from such things.

Instead, is there some sort of poll/survey -- non-American, if you prefer -- that demonstrates that a significant portion of some population holds such strong views against circumcision?

To note it: If you want to get Wikipedia to change its presentation, presenting such evidence might help out. Because, it really does seem like you're advocating a niche belief; but, if you can demonstrate that it's held by a significant portion of people on Earth, then that might change stuff.
The worst part of this stuff is you never find out about it until long after the purchase is over. Unless you happen to know a brand that’s good (say Speed Queen for now) you are stuck trying to guess what issues may occur someday.
Is it the other countries who don't like arrest records, or can Putin's regime prevent people with these records, from getting a visa elsewhere?
Frameworks are mostly necessary on the backend.

...not really, we're running high stake trading application (constellation of services) without framework and it works really well. Shallow/no-dependencies is great. We've been throwing complexity at it for 4 years+ and there is no fatigue, things are crafted to fit the purpose, it works, really, really well. I get personal satisfaction from removing code necessary to do the job.
I'm sure the world would love to hear your solution for how to end the conflict in Ukraine with zero collateral damage anywhere. To me, it seems like there is simply no way to make the ruling class of Russia suffer without invariably harming the average Russian.
Having to refresh the page every time you make a change or open a modal is a terrible user experience.
Slight aside, most payment services with a Stipe like js self hosted checkout now suggest you include their JavaScript on all pages off your site, not just the checkout. This is so that they can begin to build a profile of how the user/browser moves around the site in order to use ML to prevent fraud. They also require that you dont self host the js.

The main use of this is to detect automated scripts running cards on your site to test if they work.

Obviously it’s an endless battle as the fraudsters move to using tools such as puppeteer/playwright to simulate a human using a browser.

Ultimately code is a visual medium (for most users). It is a data format consumed primarily by human eyeballs, so there is no escaping the reality that things like identifier length, line length, wrapping, etc. matter.

Any other strategy is like trying to design a chair without thinking about butts. You may come up with some sort of elegant Bauhaus mathematically perfect work of art, but no one will want to sit in it.

Much of these analyses are useless unless you put domestic politics into calculation.

If Xi wants to invade Taiwan, 90% is based on his power fight within the party, not the geopolitics.

One crucial part of Xi's ruling is that Xi has not appointed his successor yet. Xi wants to stay. Does invading Taiwan help or hurt him to stay longer? That's his calculation.

AMD just surpassed Intel in its market cap for the first time in history. It's an inflection point in the AMD-Intel rivalry, and many people noticed.
From the IRS: The highway use tax applies to highway motor vehicles with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. This generally includes large trucks, truck tractors and buses. The tax is based on the weight of the vehicle and a variety of special rules apply. These special rules are explained in the instructions to Form 2290.

So yes, trucks do pay more in taxes, but that doesn't help the "roads are free" or the "you didn't pay for that" mantra.
Making decisions based on HTTP headers is always an opportunity to be surprised. A few years back we had implemented rudimentary access control on a server based on X-Forwarded-For. In front of that server, we had two chained instances of haproxy, one version 1.x, the other 2.x. Little did we know that haproxy 1 and 2 handled headers completely different wrt case-sensitivity. So we ended up not only not correctly removing untrusted headers, we also got two different headers with every request (mixed-case and lower-case) that our server handled differently (which was a bug).

I'm not sure if my household is immune to potato poisoning or if you need an insane amount of bad potatoes to be affected, but I sadly feed my family month old potatoes quite often. I do peel them (as I do 90% of the time when I make any potatoes). I do pop off any sprouts (wouldn't this be common sense?). And I do "peel out" or cut off any blacking bits on the potato (again wouldn't this be common sense?). And if any potatoes are truly moldy I just toss them.

Who is eating potatoes that are so far gone that they are getting sick from them? When a potato is bad, you KNOW it by it's funky smell.

Oh and I store my potatoes and onions in the same container until for days or weeks.
> The disheartening thing is that even if you never supported Putin, other countries treat you as enemy.

While I sympathize with your plight, Russian infiltration tactics used in Ukraine and elsewhere make it somewhat understandable that Georgia (parts of which are currently under Russian occupation) might be somewhat suspicious of Russians, even those not obviously connected to the Russian government, especially after the recent escalation from the similar partial occupation of Ukraine.
It's like peeking through a crack into the future. Were you in the think tank that planned the end of privacy?
