No, it would not be prudent. In fact, "permanently cutting off" an individual from "the west" just because they support something you don't agree with sets a very dangerous precedent and is many times worse than any war. It's screwed up that you're even suggesting this.

Where are you getting hundreds of billions? Wikipedia says "As production wound down in 2011, the total program cost is estimated to be about $67.3 billion, with $32.4 billion spent on Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and $34.9 billion on procurement and military construction (MILCON) in then year dollars."
I agree, because I was raised up in something like the picture below.

It might not seem like much compared to other world events, but it means everything to the people concerned. No real punishment to the perpetrators, and a very late, reluctant, and muted acknowledgement from the Japanese government.
Perhaps because people thought the relative peace since 1945 was the equilibrium state rather than the great exception to that state…. World wars were fought 1789-1815, 1914-1918 and 1937-1945. Significant revolutionary conflict in 1789, 1848, 1917-on and “minor” flare up’s in France from time to time. Germany fought its unification battles in 1866 and 1870. There was a bloodbath in the US 1861-1865. China and other colonial matters were “problems” for decades. There were lesser conflicts as well, such as US/Spain and Germany/Austria vs. Denmark. Others that I’m too lazy to look up.

Remembered one, the seven years war was actually a world war that lasted longer than seven years, with actions in n America, Europe and India. The US broke away, Frederick became Great, …
Hey HN, one of the co-authors (Sai) of the reviewed book here. Would love to hear your thoughts.
> This made me realize that the best thing you can do for your health is just picking the right place to live.

Imagine you’re completely wrong about this — because it’s a very dangerous assumption to be completely confident in. What’s another answer for why Belgians seem to get cancer more often than Italians?
You are probably right.
Considering the piss poor performance of the Russian military, supporting the Russian Blood Brothers on the front line is probably a sacred duty for nationalistic Serbian extremists.

Apparently, the Russians even need external experts for their war crimes, as they recruit war-experienced Syrians as mercenaries.
I assume that the Serbian experts in this field will work for Mother Russia for free.
This will probably relieve B&H from that pest, temporarily.
Until those fighters return.
Of course, If they do.
Wouldn't mind to see them die there.
I live in a medium cost of living area so my base covers all of my living expenses. I use my RSUs for savings, vacations, and big ticket items. It’s about getting into a certain rhythm.

Let’s say I get my RSUs in June. I have them set to sell as soon as I vest and now cash is just sitting in my brokerage account. At the beginning of every month, I have $1500 transferred to my main checking account. That offsets the deficit I have in my monthly budget after I have retirement savings deducted from my regular account.

If I were getting the money monthly, I would save for big ticket items every month. I know I’m getting a net around $25K in six months, so I just allocate that.

But in the grand scheme of things we are only talking about six months in the whole. It is slightly different from a bonus since statistically, you would expect your RSUs to go up over time. Your “bonus” is going to be worth more than the initial stated value. If you are granted 100 RSUs over 4 years when the stock was worth $100, even if they just go up with the rest of the stock market, the last amount will be worth 30% more when you vest.

But this also assumes we are talking about the big 5 profitable tech companies and not places like Uber and Robinhood.
Ireland, a country with an even more severe housing crisis than the UK, currently expects to take in about 100,000 refugees. Proportionally, this is similar to the UK taking a little over a million.

Housing is definitely a problem; short-term plan will be dependent on hotels and army facilities. But it is _doable_.
If the multiplier is less than the golden ratio, then the new allocation fits into the memory released from the previous two allocations.
"Then add on top all the genetic errors you inherited from your parents."

Some of those errors could be epigenetic from your parent's exposure.

Sure, there's stuff outside of our control. But with young adult cancer rates increasing 30% since the 70s, it seems there's an environmental or mass lifestyle factor involved that we should be looking to correct or mitigate.
Also, China very much dislikes the puppet republics spawned to create claims on Ukraine land.

There is nobody yet living there.

Changing that after the fact is hard. A small corner supermarket in "suburbia" isn't sustainable as residents can't easily reach it without lots of other changes (walking/cycling infrastructure, public transport, ...) and if people have to use the car anyways the mall a mile or two further south is more attractive.
I was diagnosed with lymphoma at 24. While chemo isn’t fun (and if I ever have another lumbar puncture in my life it’ll be too soon), the mental side was much harder than the physical for me.

I needed inpatient treatment, so from probably August until just before Christmas I was mostly in hospital, with the occasional week or two break. By the end I was having people bring me McDonald’s most days, because the idea of another bland hospital meal was incredibly depressing—which sounds silly writing it out, but it really started getting to me.

Interrupted sleep and reduced privacy on the ward starts to wear you down too—the times where my immune system was as its lowest and I was moved to private side rooms were actually a big improvement for me, it got lonely but being able to put some music on and having my own bathroom helped a lot.

Not sure what my point was with this but 0/10 would not recommend.

> lost wars are an enormous stress test for authoritarian regimes where the ruler gets all the blame, just look at the collapse of Tsarist Russia in 1917

This just brought to mind the idea that it's remarkable that America has weathered at least one and possibly three (depending on the definition of success) lost wars in the past 50 years without severe political consequences: Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It wasn't without consequence but it did not cause anything like Russia in 1917 or Germany in the 1930s. The worst we got was a shirtless jackass wearing horns on the Senate podium.

I see, clever way to combat global warming … but nuclear winter will only last for about 10-20 years. And the warming hasn’t progressed enough that countries bombing the shit out of all major cities will cancel it out. Wait until 2100 before trying that.

According to a video I found linked on another thread (https://youtu.be/b4wRdoWpw0w?t=119) Russia has moved around 75% of its principal combat units to the Ukraine border. The Ukraine invasion appears to be using a significant portion of their conventional military power.

Russia is threatened by NATO expansion as much as I am being threatened right now of being attacked by a rabid bear

Taken very much out of context, shame on Reuters:

"We are open for an honest and mutually respectful dialogue to the same extent as the U.S. will be ready for it. Perhaps, it would do well to remember the well-forgotten principle that worked during the Cold War, peaceful coexistence, despite the values and ideals separating us which must not be forced on each other," Darchiyev told Interfax.

China and Taiwan would be a lot more interesting

Out of the three major nuclear powers, I’d say only Russia would ever get sanctions for invading and occupying land. When was the last time US got sanctions?
Considering how much discrimination japanese Koreans and especially Ainu has faced, it's hard to take this proposition at a face value. "Would you like to have an average wage of our country as a second-class citizen".
Yeah, but Trump was the symptom not the disease. There have been various examples in the us and Europe (and elsewhere I guess) where “rational” actions have been replaced by a groundswell of “irrational” ones. And the decline of civility, “he says what I lack the courage to say” started before 2016.
That's certainly true. China would claim Taiwan regardless of the legal technicalities, but it's still interesting to see them get their claims, arguments and legalistic posturing tied up in knots over it all.
> You can freely read Chinese or russian narratives if you live in the US or EU

That's actually not true. RT, Sputnik and other Russian sources have been taken down. While this censorship may not be as stark as what is happening in China, the pattern of censoring soft targets before moving on to hard targets is concerning.

0.0091, down to 0.0075 is far from 100%

so what we see here is a 20%, max 25% drop of the rubble to the dollar. bringing people's view towards reality is a difficult but much needed change to wish for.

The reason is probably because the average American didn't go hungry because of the loss. Also, Americans are, for all their diversity, fairly mixed and culturally similar.

OTOH, if you commit a behemoth like Austria-Hungary where 40 per cent of the country belongs to disadvantaged minority ethnicities and then you lose the war and the population is reduced to digging roots from the ground and making soups out of leather boots (I am not exaggerating), there isn't any reason to continue the existence of such a structure left. Only fear that the uprising may get you killed, but if the soldiers are demoralized too, they won't shoot.
So far, the only major power who hasn't (yet) invaded Afghanistan is China. And I don't recall anyone invading it legally.

Japan's only crime is speed-running the "major nation of Europe" experience.

Develop central government, industrialize, colonize, fight "real wars" with other "real nations", etc.

Europe is just as bad. They just spread it out over 400yr instead of 80yr so the history textbook gets a chapter of feel good stuff to isolate the genocidal religious wars from the hand cutting and the opium.

for we need to make space for the next generation (only adding people to planet earth would not be sustainable, as resources are scarce - imagine nobody would ever die). Being on this planet for a limited time period makes it more important to make the right choices, because we have only one life.

No. Living longer means we have to live with our decisions. People who live short lives don't have to live with decisions that fucked the later generation years after they're long dead. The population limit on this planet isn't natural resources, but pollution, followed by heat dissipation because humans are all 100 watts space heaters.

Hydrogen is very cheap to store, when stored underground, two orders of magnitude cheaper than storing energy in batteries (per kWh of storage capacity). As for wastage, if you are talking about round trip efficiency, that becomes relatively unimportant when renewable energy is cheap and the storage use case has few charge/discharge cycles (not daily storage, but long term, even seasonal, storage, and rare event backup, and of course supplying hydrogen to already existing industrial users of the gas.)

Capital cost of electrolysers was indeed the issue, if you want to use overproduction from renewable sources to power them.

Before that time, in the 70s and 80s, there were clubs where people would meet up to talk about computers and software with each other. A new version of Google Docs is about 1% as amazing as getting Electric Pencil running on your TRS-80 or Syncalc going on your Atari 800.

Referring to what the russians did is whataboutism, focus on the current Japanese threat ;)
I fully agree with your general point, but in the US I've found calculus to be much more dominant than linear algebra. I went to an "elite" high school that still does not offer any course in linear algebra, despite having enough juniors in AP calc to fill a room. Senior year options for those students are AP stats or multivariable calc. At my college, everyone was (and still is) required to take through multivariable calculus, but there's no such requirement for linear algebra.

I have some appreciation for calculus now but I really did not enjoy it much in high school or even in college. It turned me away from learning more math for some time which is unfortunate - linear algebra isn't my favorite either but I liked that much more off the bat, so I wish I had some exposure to it in high school. Then again, maybe the high school teaching style is what made me dislike calc to begin with.
Russia is deploying armoured trains in Melitopol (2022)
>>and to my knowledge none of the neighbors wants to join that territory

Well, let me expand that knowledge then - Poland would love to integrate that bit of land, because currently the fact that the only entrance to the Polish port of Elbląg is controlled by Russia is a major ballache that stops the development of the region, enough so that the Polish government has agreed to spend billions of Polish zlotys to dig a canal that will allow ships to skip going through Russian controlled waters.

I've dipped my toes into Mac app development and had the same experience as you did. Forget good resources, a lot of AppKit APIs have no documentation at all.

To me, this looks like a rather different use, actually, which wasn't practical before: daytime lights for dark dwellings.

I don't think that many people blast 100 W LED lights at night, which is the classic use-case of incandescent bulbs. And if they do, they probably replaced much more powerful bulbs.

Also, the Soviet Union did not sign the San Francisco treaty.
