That's what you get in US cities who treat pedestrians as a 3rd class citizen behind cars and more cars, so again, it's due to lack of good city planning.

Walk through European cities and Asian cities and you see a nice mix of local and yes also bigger corporation shops. But you can also find in neighborhoods of
some US cities such as NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, etc.

China may be playing the long game in more ways than one. Russia butts heads with West and undergoes economic and moral deterioration which may lead to rapid regime destabilization, after which China can annex Siberia, which is a truly world class prize, sparsely populated and full of resources.

Sorry, I meant in population (edited now).

Anyway let's see what happens with the Russian economy after 10 years of sanctions.
This is different because we like Japan but we don't like Russia. If Russia didn't want the entire world to turn on them, they shouldn't have illegally invaded Afghanistan.
There’s no intellectually defensible way to price the externalities off remote work at a bajillion dollars a microsecond. On some level you have to trust someone somewhere to do a good job. Taxes are tools to help that, not a substitute for it.
Russian bombers, fighter jets, missiles launched from those Iislands can reach Hokkaido and/or Tokio much quicker than when launched from more northern islands, leaving less time for countermeasures. Same for ground troops.
How do you actually do it? Can’t figure it out.
I won't dispute that Westinghouse was a failure. They failed at designing a power plant that meets safety criteria for it to be build in the US. Toshiba bet they could do it efficiently, and lost 9 billion on that bet.

None of that has anything to do with Rolls-Royce. There's no reason to assume just because they're trying to solve the same problem that they're going to make the same mistakes and fail as well.

They very well could, and even if they did, your comment would still be useless.
None whatsoever. But that is exactly the point of reaffirming their claim now. Russia can choose to climb down over something insignificant in order to gain a potential ally. Japan would thereby become a credible broker for peace.
Because you, your family and your neighbors will all die.

Russia not able to win would look like Syria. Syria is a failed state propped up by Russia and Iran carved up by superpowers with the local population at their whim.

We also dont live in 2000 anymore. As far as i am aware Ukraine didnt get any noteworthy anti air shipments. Stinger are useless for anything except passenger planes and some older helicopters. You wont shoot any jets down with it. And once doctrine switches back to standard artillery bombardment there isnt going to be much else to shoot at.

All of this not mentioning drone warfare and the ability to identify what they deem hostile elements.
Russia is only limited in how cruel they are going to get in this. Of course they can win, it could just become very very horrible.

If you think this conflict will look like Titos partisans if escalated further, think more Grozny combined with the treatment of the Uyghurs.

edit:
Think about that way, getting rid of everyone who still holds your opinion, that

>Most of them are aware that Russia cannot win. They cannot hope to occupy and rule Ukraine if Ukrainians don't want them to. Why submit then?

after a few months of classical bombardment is by now a trivial task. Same with the larger group who would do something about that. And even if you somehow could hide creating refugee waves is a very attractive geopolitical tool for Russia.

It is that bad.

Stop for a moment, breath deep, and think.

Is it really possible that half the country (or more, according to latest polls) are bat crazy?

Is it possible that you are getting information from news sources and thinkers that are biased and reflect one storyline; while the other half of the country gets their facts and forms their opinions from sources that are biased the other way and reflect a different story-line?

Which makes you think they have gone off the kilter and have no logic, and makes them think the exact same thing about you.

I mostly headlines from RCP, BUT I make a point of reading both CNN and FOX, while assuming BOTH are bald faced liars. Between the two I can at least hope to get a little balance, and ferret out a few possible facts.

Any conversation is good if not done in bad faith, and I always assume good faith. Amazing what you can learn that way, and even more amazing how much progress can be made in local politics.

Someone once told me "Fight for your views, and don't back down from anyone. And always remember, you might even be correct." :D

A good politician is one who can say across the aisle, "Did you vote for Trump out of rabid-red-and-orange, or are you trying to accomplish something? Maybe there is a way to accomplish that in a way that makes us both happy."

Don't assume this is naive; I have had cause to be somewhat involved in local politics. And, sure, you need showmanship, but sincerely looking for solutions actually works.

When asking the question “what is the value of those islands/rocks-in-the-sea?” the answer is always 'EEZ boundaries'. I.e., having extra bits of land in the middle of the sea enlarges your exclusive economic zone where you can exploit resources in the ocean and below the ocean bed (oil) significantly. Which is why so many disputes exist over really boring bits of rock jutting out of the water.
Not surprising at all given China's interest in Taiwan.

When I lived in Italy the choice of mode of transportation and whether to use the highway when driving was dependent on the number of occupants.

Choices, ordered by price ascending were:

1 person - train, backroads, highway

2 people - backroads, train, highway

3 people - backroads, highway, train

Also train was faster than backroads, but slower than highway.

Nevertheless with 2 people on board I often opted for the backroads, because then we could leave at e.g. 10pm after a long supper.
The goal on North Korea is not to invade South Korea or attack Japan.

(And also to disable their ability to use nukes against USA).

I would say goals were accomplished. We really don't know the state of nuclear missiles there and I could bet they are not in any very good shape...
Eventually, this policy, if it succeeds, will lead to generic-brand cars. Big discount retailers will be selling store-brand cars, perceived as slightly inferior, for a little less than the brand-name manufacturer prices, perhaps purchased by the retailers under confidential deals from the same manufacturers selling the premium cars, or perhaps made by very low-wage manufacturers who do only final assembly and obtain components/assemblies from the same suppliers who supply the brand-name makers. It works for soda pop and corn flakes, and people gotta have cars.
Life is like poker, not chess. You can make the best choices and often you will still lose.
> Unless you are dealing with subjects that would actually use calculus, people in their day to day lives would do much better to understand probabilities, statistics and experiment design.

Probability theory is applied analysis. For example a measure density is a derivation of a measure with respect to another measure (Radon–Nikodym derivative). Or how do you often assign probabilities to measurable set: Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral.

So you better have a very good understanding of calculus before starting with probability and statistics.

That's a whole separate problem. In my experience 'anti piracy' measures cause problems for people who pay for the software, it's just another reason not to pay. If it's easier to use a cracked product, you are doing something wrong.

Nobody is trying to justify people not respecting your intellectual property rights, just call it what it is - copyright infringement. It is not theft, just like someone using an ad blocker isn't theft, or someone ripping a DVD they bought so they can watch it on their phone isn't theft.

> the loss of information which comes with damaging the biosphere is incomprehensible

I totally agree on this. This is why it saddens me that in the current set of overlapping information wars we're living in, "biodiversity loss" was also weaponized and used like another red herring to distract people in many fights.

Take pesticides and herbicides for example - it's 100% percent clear that they are a huge cause of biodiversity loss. But practically all the opponents of pesticides are also against artificial fertilizers and against GMOs that when used properly actually have a much lower impact on wildlife, and in many areas of the world they are absolutely necessary to prevent famine. (Also, why aren't we actively developing GMOs that work with less pesticides and herbicides instead of the current abominable idea of developing plants resistent to higher doses of these chemicals? It's like we have a tool but we're using it all wrong to screw ourselves with it... maybe we need to have more state-funded GMO research instead of having it all in private sector with skewed incentives.)

Now, when people are made to choose between "full bio agriculture" (no pesticides at all AND no artificial fertilizers) and "classical agriculture", it's obvious the odds are stacked against full-bio, and any discussion on better limiting and regulating use of pesticides is avoided. Also, nobody even raises the issue that going full-bio would mean lower yields, ergo larger swaths of lands would need to be used for agriculture, so less land for wildlife and potentially more loss of biodiversity.

And when people argue against hydro lowering biodiversity, we rarely discuss how its alternatives would also impact biodiversity probably even more.

To make it clear, I'm not against focusing on biodiversity, I'm against it's current "weaponization" and use as a red-herring together with climate-change in a "mixed eco-activist save-the-planet-from-humans + CO2 is the devil" discourse that prevents any meaningful and results oriented discussion...

> Fortunately, nuclear is a perfectly good alternative.

Then let's solve the political and economical problems that make it unfeasible in most places. Let's build 100% non-military nuclear programs that are safe + cost-effective.
Who else? Other than Russia, of course.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition which appears to solve these problems and others.
Forking in the background is one way, you can also use GNU "parallel" ("apt-get install parallel" for those on Debian and the likes).

For example I've got all my CD ripped to FLAC files, but my car only takes mp3 or wav... So I did a batch convert of FLAC to mp3, making sure to put all cores at work by piping the output of "find" into "parallel".

Some commands also allows to directly parallelize (like, say, "make -j 16 ..." to build using 16 cores/hyperthreads).

Here’s a good heuristic: if the only people alive for the past change of hands are old enough to physically be incapable of being the ones sent to fight for it, the dispute is over as-is. (Why send the young to fight over something that’s never been an issue for them?)

Would save us a whole lot of historical grievances, revanchism and war by retconning the past centuries into a new issue.
> Are there any "math for people who just want to use it" tracks in math pedagogy?

If you're talking about college level, "math for people who just want to use it", is basically all it is (outside of math departments and perhaps outlier curriculums in some elite places) and that's a problem.

Learning just the applications without picking up the theorems and without a true understanding of the concepts makes more advanced work in whatever discipline one chooses more difficult. Why? Because you'll have to follow mathematical arguments and it's so much easier to do that when you got the background to fall back on.

I think students before college need more focus on mastering the basics. They're rushed so much, and tragically, math is very cumulative. Any one who has tutored before will notice that it's disturbing how many people don't really understand how to manipulate fractions as they enter a calculus course.

The anti piracy measures I use are completely transparent for the end user. They are just checks for the integrity of the app. If a cracker tampered in any way (e.g. added their own dylib at RPATH) I can detect it.

I am starting to think that living in a small town is not for me either. My wife and I have been living in a beautiful small town in the mountains in Central Arizona for 20 years. It is beautiful here, and we get a million tourists a year to verify that. What I miss is culture, things like music, museums, lots of ethnic food, stage productions, etc. Without success so far, I am trying to talk my wife into permanently renting our home, and downsizing to living out of 7 or 8 steamer trunks that could be shipped efficiently. To start with, I would like to live in apartments for about 6 months each in Quebec, Santa Barbara, near family in Rhode Island, etc., etc. I figure we could do that until we are ready for moving into an nice assisted living place.
Thank you, i just did!
What it has to do with Rolls Royce is that Westinghouse claimed they were going to get cost improvements from modular construction. But they utterly failed at that. The takeaway is that claiming you are going to reduce costs, and actually doing so, are very different things. Talk is cheap, especially without a history to show the words can be relied on.
Article 9 doesn’t really mean what it says, at least in practice. If Japan is attacked the state won’t just roll over and die - it’ll try to defend itself (hence the JSDF).

You can read it as forbidding offensive war, but if Japan has claimed that those islands are part of Japan for a while then there’s enough of an argument for it being defensive war that no one will much care.

The planet will not be unlivable in 50 years. Larger areas of it will be, but most of the landmass will still be hospitable. There may be significant collapse of agricultural production, but again, that will affect the poorer countries mainly. I suppose some massive and unpredictable ecological collapse could conceivably happen by then, which would I guess have the potential of severely damaging food production, but I’m not sure if that’s considered especially likely.
