There's no obligation to claim asylum in the first safe country.

> There is no legal requirement for a refugee to claim asylum in any particular country. There is a requirement for the first safe country in which they arrive to hear their asylum claim but, if this does not happen for any reason, the refugee is then free to make their asylum claim elsewhere. -- https://care4calais.org/the-refugee-crisis/why-dont-refugees...

> There is no obligation under the refugee convention or any other instrument of international law that requires refugees to seek asylum in any particular country. There has, however, been a longstanding "first country of asylum" principle in international law by which countries are expected to take refugees fleeing from persecution in a neighbouring state. This principle has developed so that, in practice, an asylum seeker who had the opportunity to claim asylum in another country is liable to be returned there in order for his or her claim to be determined. - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/201...

For example, the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement says "Individuals entering Canada at a land port of entry continue to be ineligible to make a refugee claim, and will be returned to the U.S. unless they meet one of the relevant exceptions under the STCA." - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/co... .

(Though with opposition: "CCC official: Frozen bodies show why Canada must end agreement with U.S." https://cruxnow.com/cns/2022/01/ccc-official-frozen-bodies-s... )

As you say, the one between the US and Mexico only concerns migrants from Central America. Not Europe.
It's not the napkin math which is the issue - it's stating it as though future earnings are an obviously known, agreed upon quantity.

Napkin math of "I think they can sell x units at y margin with z fixed costs because of a, b and c, and I think that will grow at g because of whatever and my back of the envelope says that is worth $" would be great. Ie, real insight. Low precision, high accuracy insight with napkin math would have been wonderful.

A bit off topic, but anyone know if Threads are something Matrix currently supports, or ever wants to support?

My family uses Signal for _a lot_, likely way more than we should, and i feel like we'd benefit from threads immensely.

Maybe i should toy with making my own Matrix client or something, heh.

edit: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2349 looks like it might exist in some beta form. Depending on the client heh
I bet its all software though.

It's still normally significantly better if only for the fact the CDN's servers are physically closer to the client.
> To pick an example of a group that is somewhat insular: if the majority of Wikipedia editors were Chinese, would Wikipedia look as it does today? Would Wikipedia be an equally-as-accurate reflection on the west as Wikipedia is today?

There's a Chinese Wikipedia site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Wikipedia

However, even the English-Wikipedia's articles on China are likely to be disproportionately influenced by Chinese posters, even if they're a minority of the overall contribution-base.

That said, what's the potential relevance here? Is this purely about articles on politics, or..?

According to Wells Fargo, the most common cause for drivers to be removed from driver rolls is marijuana testing, especially in states that have legalized (e.g. California, Oregon, Colorado, etc).

"The law [FMCSA] has impacted nearly 110,000 truckers, about 56% of which were reported for marijuana use, according to government data from December 2021."

Your entire argument is predicated on building an SPA

There are frameworks that don't deliver an SPA - Next, Nuxt, Remix, etc. They also do a lot of work to remove as much frontend JS as they can, and more effort is going in to that delivery architecture at the moment. The idea is that devs write React or Vue based pages, and the framework figures out what the page actually needs and delivers only that code to the user. Routing is done on the server. They work very well.
That's probably intended to refer to 24220.c, but overlooks that the "advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology" prescribed for new cars 2025 and later is described in terms that are functionally identical to the driver awareness monitoring safety systems that already exist in high-end new cars right now.

That growth is only really because they fucked up so badly prior to Zen, Intel still make a lot more money than AMD so for them to be considered less valuable than AMD would have to be factoring huge amounts of undeterred growth i.e. intel continuing to fuck up, which I just don't think will happen.

Along with Tesla, AMD is a "won't go down but probably won't recover fully after a big crash" type of valuation.
I wonder how much money AWS is making off Elasticsearch? The efforts they’re going through seem to be substantial, which makes me wonder just how much it must be.

Alternatively, it must be a strategic play of some kind with the technology behind it, but that seems very unlikely to me.

The Apexel HD 2X lens has been useful for me. Cheap enough not to stress about, and just enough extra reach to be useful.

I really enjoy the cheap little Ulanzi CapGrip thing, too.

It's definitely not 100% like using a real camera (no half-press for focus, though I am a back-button-focus guy on DSLRs anyway!)

But it adds just enough of a camera-like feel to allow relaxed one-handed grips and slightly more immediate shooting. And it weighs nothing so it's always in a bag or jacket pocket.

As usual the gaming crowd is utterly lacking in self-awareness.

It'd be great if it were less opaque, yes. SMT is a young field (early oughts) with a lot of extremely complicated algorithms jamed together, and there's not a lot of explanations beyond scientific papers. Even then, lots of topic required to implement a solver are not published at all, you need to know experts and ask them directly.

The best way is of course to write a solver, but it's a tremendous amount of work to obtain a system that will most likely have bad performance, and where a single bug can invalidate the correctness of the whole program. Ask me how I know :-). People are working towards proof checking though, so that's at least going to help with trustability.

> Namely the west should cut off Russia’s supply of money by banning the purchase of Russian oil.

I don't think that's sufficient. You mentioned the collapse of the ruble, this is an outcome that heavily effects Russians but also directly effects the ability for the war to be financed. In the end, you cannot separate the two, in order to apply enough pressure to one you must invariably harm the other.

I have a theory that there are two variables that impact my subjective feeling of having a good night’s sleep.

The first is whether I wake up at the right part of the sleep cycle. For you that might mean 7.75 is when you’re deeply asleep while 7.5 or 8 might be a better time to wake up. Crucially for me it also means even if I get more than eight hours I still feel like garbage if I wake up and get out of bed at the wrong part of the cycle.

The second variable is how much sleep I get. I might wake up in the right part of the cycle but if I got 6.5 hours of sleep I start to drag, especially in the afternoon. That’s where avoiding activities like eating before bed or drinking alcohol helps. That’s also where doing a 4-5 mile run during the day (not too close to bedtime) helps because I’m more likely to maintain sleep for a full eight hours.
The lack of food among the Russian invading forces (if real) is due to them outrunning their logistics, not a general food shortage in Russia. Russia’s army is not designed to operate more than about 50-100km from their rail network.
The sprout (the above ground bit) comes quite a bit before the roots -- the roots actually emerge from the stem itself after it has grown quite tall, not from the potato itself.

"Sprouted potatoes" refers to this initial stem starting to emerge.

You've almost certainly been eating potatoes with the above-ground bit growing. They do look a bit like roots.

But, really, it's not that poisonous unless the potato itself is also bright green.
I had something similar, but it was due to being disturbed by my partner throughout the night. We bought a SOLID king size bedframe and memory foam mattress and now I don't even notice when my partner is also in bed.
"verifying the code" means absolutely nothing. Any code you're verifying is from the past, and could be edited into any image from any time in the past.

All you know is that neither the image nor the code came from the future, which is self-evident.

I suspect the idea here is to rely on it being difficult to forge a printed version of the QR code that is shot together with the scene. For that purpose, a newspaper is better; it is more complex. I mean, someone could take a picture in, say, the year 2032, using a new QR code (printed on paper and everything), and then carefully edit an old QR 2022 QR code into that image. It's a very regular, high contrast, simple image.

In the era of deep fakes, I can't believe someone would think any of this is "beyond the shadow of a doubt".

Threads are supported on Matrix as of a week or two ago. They're no longer in beta as far as I can tell. I don't know for sure how well alternative clients support them, but desktop and mobile versions of Element do threads just fine.

Alternatives (Fluffychat, for example) are usually a while behind Element because of manpower. For example, native polls are in Element but not in Fluffychat yet. So, if you want to risk the transition, best to recommend the official clients first.

That said, I don't know how well threads will actually work in a family context. I like them as a concept, but outside Google Chat (where every message in a room is a response to or the start of a thread) I haven't seen them get picked up naturally.

Most of the world would beg to differ. Particularly in the West, this whole situation was handled abominably and was an embarrassment at all levels. Even most doctors will tell you the CDC bungled this whole thing mightily.
The problem of not using a framework, however, is that as the web app scales, you’ll end up needing to build a framework.

A ton of celebrities pledged to leave if Trump got elected.

Well he did.

Yet, almost nobody kept their oath.

And it's not like they stayed on and took up arms either.

And if you don't want people to leave, then that automatically means you are very pro-border, because if these economic migrants are to be denied, then all undocumented migrants everywhere should be denied, by virtue of being people who did not fight hard enough to improve their lot in their country of origin.
It was projected and widely broadcast throughout the industry 12 years ago that fabs were getting more expensive faster than any single design domain for semiconductors was growing! So the only way to build next generation fabs was to onboard new types of designs to offset the cost of the fabs which was doubling every two or three years!

Intel had the greedy stupid arrogant policy of going it alone for everything, and failed to onboard cellular (3x!) and AI and flash and tv and the list goes on and on and on .... Hence they wasted more than 10 years without onboarding a single new type of semiconductor into the Intel Fab production process! It doesn't matter if they designed the best chips in the Universe they can't keep up if they can't build the next generation Fab and they can't do it with CPUs alone so at the moment they are facing total financial destruction of in house CPU production!

Taiwan Semiconductor had the wonderful intelligent smart idea to crowdsource designs from all over the planet and of course that open market for foundry services is the only way forward and Intel was a fool for a decade at least! It's still not clear they can mend their ways!

Unless Intel proves it can succeed as a foundry, they're doomed - or will lose their fabs! It's not an easy transition to make for such a large company!

You seem to think it's a minor thing for Intel to pick itself up and start driving again. No. False. The other competitors have boarded jet airplanes (foundry model with much greater economies of scale) whereas intel still thinks it can compete in the cars (in-house fabs) of 50Y ago ..

Tried strips - none of them did anything. May try mouth taping since it seems low risk. I have asthma though (adult onset), which complicates things. I'm pretty good about exercise - my fitness tracker can nail my resting heart rate if nothing else! I'm just a little skeptical about its overall sleep tracking. I am pretty sure identifies waking and slow wave well, but overall, I just don't feel I sleep as deeply as I did even 5-6 years ago. I took percocet last year for a night right after surgery and I hit a level of restfulness that was unmistakably something I hadn't experienced for a long time.

Can fall asleep on my back just fine, but for some reason, every night I wake up hot with a dry mouth about 3-5 hours in and I have to move to side sleeping to deal with the nose.

I think I may just have to pony up for an in-clinic sleep study already and get some better data. I also have chronic muscle cramps and pains from exercise overexertion that are not going away, so again, I'm suspecting poor quality sleep. My diet is pretty good, and my blood tests haven't ever suggested mineral deficiency.

I had nose surgery about 20 years ago for a deviated septum when I was in my late teens, and it did help, but it has since redeviated somewhat, though not nearly as bad as before. I think simply being younger and having more growth ahead of me at that age made tissue regrowth more likely.

It is mostly good, but the bad parts aren't evenly distributed. There are a couple specific categories of articles where Wikipedia can be bad. Anything political involving people on the Internet is guaranteed to produce a good or bad article depending mostly on which people on the Internet manage to edit the Wikipedia article. Anything political at all from the past couple of years beyond bare facts like "was this person convicted in court", for the same reasons. There's also subjects that not a lot of people care about, which can be good or bad depending on how competent the 1 or 2 people who edit the article are.
It has been a week. I'm not sure we can be assured small arms to locals will do much at all.

It's easy to find thousands of 'stub' to 'start'-class articles that obviously need lots more content and/or citations. They may be less 'important' or trendy, and hopefullly less 'opinionated', and unlikely to be on 'watch list's.

There you'll run into less-to-no helicopter parents, and stand a much-better chance of creating most of a great article before they show up. Load up on good citation prospects for solid content.

Dear President Putin, from a Czech-American Software Architect
President Putin, I’m a Czech-American born from Czechoslovakian refugees that fled before Prague Spring. I hold citizenship in both Czechia and America. On behalf of my generation from both nations, I want us to learn from our shared history and bring prosperity to the future generations of our great nations. Only technology will save us, if we allow it.

I love my American and Slavic cultures. Both have room for improvement. Even though I grew up in America, I still lived with poverty, a homeless father, a broken home, and all the stresses that come from being a man, husband, and father. I work hard to not repeat the mistakes of my fathers. It’s not easy.

I turned 34 at the end of February. Reading about the recent events in Eastern Europe broke my dreams to be part of the future of Europe. I have goals to live in Europe half the year each year with my wife and 3 children (who also have Czechia and American citizenship). We want to partake of our Slavic heritage and bring prosperity to it.

Considering how Covid has changed the world, I’m doing exceptionally well. I recently celebrated my 12 year wedding anniversary. I purchased my first home in fall of last year. Living in the digital age has allowed me to move to the upper middle class and be home with my family during the entire journey. Even before the pandemic I was working 100% remote as a business owner and software architect. The fortune I have in these unusual times has allowed my wife to choose to stay home to teach and raise our 3 children.

Even with the current problems in both America and Europe, my wife and I still want 3 more children. We want our children to live in a future where they can live peacefully and freely between both of their homelands. We can make the future generations of our nations mutual prosperous, President Putin. My experience and expertise are freely available. We can start making a future we all want, today.

It's such a weird situation right now everybody went from virus and vaccine expert to geopolitical expert within 10 min.

It took the West like a year of sanctions and aerial bombardment, then 3 weeks of "Shock and awe" to take over an Arab nations. If there is one thing modern day arabs are known for is they cant do modern warfare.

Now take Ukraine its like 40% bigger than Iraq so i think its save to say it should take Russia like 5 weeks to beat the West without sanctions on Ukraine without months of Aerial bombardment. If at the end of this months no peace deal is agreed on between Russia and the Ukraine then it's should be seen as a hick up.

But it might also become a multi year invasion every thing is possible in war.
I think you're confusing how systems of government work. For a good description of dynamics in dictatorships, I'd recommend Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, a political scientist at NYU.

To oversimplify, in a dictatorship, the dictator serves at the pleasure of the branches of the army, secret service, and police. If a majority believe he's unfit, he's out. Commanders have a lot of autonomy to refuse orders. That kind of infighting is common in China too. It's nearly impossible in a democracy.
