I see you didn’t spend a week sick in bed with no fresh reading material except for a copy of the TeXbook :) Exercises 9.4 and 9.5 from the chunk of exercises on diacritics there mention ‹Akademii͡a› for ‹Академия› (usually ‹-ija› or ‹-iya›) and ‹I͡urʼev› for ‹Юрьев› (usually ‹Ju-› or ‹Yu-›), which I remember (sans the numbers of course) exactly because I had never before seen that romanization[1] and thought it weird. But apparently the Library of Congress does use it, and if you can get hold of official English translations/selections of Soviet physics or mathematics journals from the 70s and 80s you’ll see the authors’ names spelt according to it as well.

Note that in modern times, you’re supposed to use the tie to spell affricates and such in IPA as well, like in ‹t͡ʃ› and ‹d͡ʒ› and, yes, ‹t͡s›, even though nobody does as far as I’ve seen.

Elon said in a recent interview with Lex Friedman that they aren't shoot for 10x better than human drivers anymore.

They are hoping to be 2x or 3x as good, and the amount of lives saved by that should be enough to influence lawmakers and the public.

There is a permanent structural change underway, Covid accelerated that change, it didn't cause it.

The people who want to return to the prior status quo are under the illusion that Covid caused the change, and things will revert back afterward.

There is a vicious spiral about to take place in our largest urban cores. The business value associated with those specific locations has taken a permanent hit. Thus, rents will be harder to justify, but the way commercial real estate loans are written prevent lowering the rent. Thus a larger and larger cost DISadvantage will emerge, forcing all but the most location dependent of entities to migrate away from those punitive rents.

Our largest cities will implode, fiscally, as a result. Corrective action could be taken, but would require the Oligarchs give consent to actions against their self interests. Thus, it is essentially inevitable.

Maybe. Or maybe they just have trouble finding jobs even if they love their country. Maybe they met their partner away from home. Maybe they plan to return.

And maybe before judging people telling them that they don't love their country, you should first put youself in their shoes.

By themselves they may not remove carbon from the air but they do sequester carbon by consuming carbon stores and converting them into different products.

You could, in theory, make a wolffia farm (Wolffia being the fastest growing plant on the planet and very carbon hungry to boot) and feed the wolffia to mushrooms to convert them into building, clothing, and packing materials and thus create a cycle of utilitarian carbon sequestration

The question was "is this invasion wrong?" not "was the US's invasion right?".

Also, the US invasion was not unprovoked. There was an attack on the US that killed thousands of civilians by someone in Afghanistan who was being sheltered by the defacto government of Afghanistan.
And in fact that's pretty much what's been happening in Iran over the past few decades. I think we can expect Russia to be a bit different, but I'm not sure that difference will be enough to get your average Russian to direct their anger at Putin rather than the West.
Probably sounds crazy but if you speak English you probably can adjust and thrive here in Argentina. The government is friendly so they won't deny a visa or anything. We have open borders by constitutional mandate so you can even become a citizen after a few years.
I wonder if it correlates with head trauma? Soccer players head the ball, and American football players famously get lots of concussions. But I assume not basketball players or bikers.
Or maybe they just don't really want to occupy Kyiv. They want to annex a crapton of Ukranian territory, extract a demilitarization commitment, declare victory, and flip the bird at NATO.

Occupying Kyiv means urban guerilla warfare and a lot of civilan deaths.

They don't want to occupy Kyiv, they want to threaten to occupy Kyiv. Which is exactly what this preposterously-slow convoy accomplishes.

Do you use RFCs internally at your company to discuss new features / projects or big changes ?

Australia is so selective that 30% of the population is immigrants. Which is working for them (because immigration is good) but it's not actually selective.

Most of that training is wasted. Doctors in the US have a lot of training because there's limited spots for residencies so only the top X can make it in, so there's an infinite amount of arbitrary prerequisites added on just to eliminate people.
As a sibling points out, Cogent is not required to do this.

Regardless, I was more talking about the overall situation: hurting your enemy's citizens when those citizens have essentially zero power to affect the situation is just cruel and pointless. And can turn those citizens -- many of whom may be anti-war themselves -- against you.
I think it's pretty reasonable to separate injustices by magnitude. If one doesn't do that, one begins to think things like "being asked to wear a mask is like the Holocaust because in both cases the government told people what to do". It is a lazy way for one to make a point when they struggle to make a point on its own merits.

In fact it is a special and famous case of sophistry to leverage a tenuous connection between two things and declare they are comparable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence. To quote, "This fallacy is committed when one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result"

You are correct - in both cases, Japanese Internment camps during WW2 and Norway Chess's banning of Russian competitors in a chess tournament are examples of cases where innocent individuals were harmed by collective punishment. I completely agree with you on that.

However, only a very silly person would think both actions are comparable. It would be extremely offensive to suggest they are. While they exist on a continuum, they are very, very far apart and any reasonable person can see that 1) the forced imprisonment of 100,000+ people for multiple years while being charged with no crime and 2) the temporary exclusion of several dozen entrants from an international chess tournament are not in the same moral universe.

The moral calculus of applying pressure to Russia to withdraw from a war of aggression that is killing thousands still isn't easy, and decent people can disagree civilly about it.

Show HN: Thonest – Honest discussions around your product or service
Hey HN,
I've been working on a service for the past few months that allows companies to have open and honest discussions around their website or product.

Companies can add "discussions" to their website or platform that allows users to chat back and forth with each other. Comments cannot be deleted by the admin, just flagged if they are offensive or do not follow Thonests terms and conditions. This way people know that the conversation is not being altered by anyone.

This is a win-win to both the companies and the users. Users can put more trust in a company before making a decision or purchase and companies can gather feedback and answer questions.

I would love to hear your thoughts. You can check it out here - https://thonest.com

I am a Russian citizen, and I grew up in a military town in Far East. A place where the draft is the harshest, and which is the base of Pacific Fleet. A sad town called Vladivostok.

I still retain connections with my high school mates. A lot of them have parent in military, seamen, and frontier men.

The news of Putin's fiasco is spreading like wildfire among DOSes, ship crews, and in army barracks.

The navy been traditionally the most disciplined service branch of the military because ships almost always have actual officers to command, vs. NCOs in the army.

I can't preclude the possibility of a mutiny brewing there right now, as news of ships crews (yes, not even marine infantry, but actual ship crews, 3 star lieutenants) being forced into trains going to Ukraine came.
Wasn't this [1] such an event in practice? It's not government action, but it's certainly co-ordinated and one step up from a "grassroots" campaign. (I personally don't have much of an opinion on the event, I'm just noting that it seems to match what you were wondering about.)

The "driver" in a Waymo is software, passengers can't become engaged and might not even be legal to drive a motor car. So if these rates were the same then somehow at least one of:

* Waymo's driver is implausibly safe, never having any situations that cause disengagement except that other people hit it (resulting in an accident per your statistics)

* Now we're expecting Waymo to press on after a road accident, because hey, I'm just a little dinged, lets get this passenger to their destination? That sounds both more dangerous (what if there is undiagnosed damage) and potentially illegal (doesn't the US have "must report" laws?)

One disengagement per 12k miles seems comparable to public transport. Once a week I'd get on the train, it goes to Town uneventfully and back again, but twice in five years it didn't. Once it was stuck behind a train that hit a person (most likely a suicide) so we sat in the half-dark for almost an hour (recovering even a body, much less an injured person requires the electricity is turned off, and the train wants to reserve its battery power for emergencies) and once there was some kind of actual fault. I was in no danger either time but obviously my journey was much delayed, that seems comparable to a disengagement.

In a lot of cases a human can remotely diagnose the problem and either tell the Waymo everything is fine now (e.g. the fire truck parked at an angle across the highway has moved, simply drive around it now) or correct its understanding (e.g. that does look like a school bus stopped in a residential area, but it is actually an advertisement for an upcoming Speed prequel, so, it's fine to just drive past it) and then your journey continues, interrupted but no worse than that. Maybe you get a refund from Waymo.

The referenced part, for anyone interested:

Aleksei Snegov [...] told us that when Stalin's desk was being moved from his former study, they accidentally came across five letters addressed to him that he had hidden under a layer of newspapers in one of the drawers. Snegov could only recall three of them. [...] The third came from Marshall Tito in 1950. The text was brief: 'Stalin. Stop sending assassins to murder me. We have already caught five, one with a bomb, another with a rifle. ... If this doesn't stop, I will send one man to Moscow and there will be no need to send another.'

It seems that the Stalin incident story might have roots in reality.

Regardless, Tito was still a cult of personality and his country crumbled as soon as he died.

I applaud Cogent and anybody taking stand like this. Anybody still working with Russia has the blood on their hands.

As a Russian myself i'm ashamed and disgusted by all the Russian whining. Russia is at war, the genocidal war that is criminally started and is being criminally conducted by Russia, and instead of whining the Russians should grace the God that they have plummeting rouble instead of falling bombs like Ukrainians have gotten. You need to completely lose any shame to expect any quality of life while your country is genociding a neighbor.

Wrt. the myth of "regular Russians" - it is regular Russians and their children who shoots in Ukraine, not Putin. In the years leading to that the whole society was ostracizing anybody who have voiced even minor disagreement with Putin's fascist regime. The FSB and police supposedly oppressing Russians consist of those regular Russians and their children, not some aliens from Alfa Centauri.

It is pretty clear that the reality still hasn't set on Russians, and until that happens the pressure should grow, the faster the better. The only way of dealing with a nuclear country is to put so much stress on it that it breaks from inside.

This has not been necessary for quite some time. With modern tolerances in manufacturing, it is not necessary, even wasteful (burned gas and small amounts of wear that add up over time) to warm up a vehicle.

It may have been another story at long ago with larger gaps between rings, differential expansion of materials, newer oil formulations and so on.

With my daily driver 1995 Grand Prix (which just a few weeks ago bit the bullet, non-engine related), I never, even in the coldest weather let it sit idling warming up. Most mornings even around 0F, I turned the key and drove off. It died with ~289,800 miles. It did not consume any oil or coolant, the spark plugs are clean as new.

In fact, driving off easy will warm the engine up faster than letting it idle.

But I haven't seen good corroborating sources yet.
The historical origin that I learned for UNIX was that it was created mostly out of frustration with Multics, and that its original "primary" use was running one of Ken Thompson's video games[1]. It was originally written for a PDP-7, which was already obsolete at the time and probably wasn't a target for telecommunications software.

It was only much later (and after significant arm twisting for more computing resources) that AT&T took UNIX seriously. Even then, the first marketed versions of UNIX were oriented towards programmers and technical editors, not telecommunication[2].

[1]: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/hist.pdf

[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PWB/UNIX
You should read Kernighan’s “UNIX A History and a Memoir”. Seriously a great book.

UNIX was created with no purpose in mind other than to get some MULTICS-like functionality out of an old machine and not worry about design-by-committee.

The first real use for it was document processing and it took off from there. Never was a telecom system ever at AT&T AFAIK and didn’t do networking until much later.

There were no “teams” there, just someone would see what someone else was working on and dive in to help. Stick a bunch of smart people in a building and see what comes out.

R&D at Bell Labs was to play with ideas first and then find an application. That’s how we got the transistor and UNIX, and waaaay more things that never saw the light of day.

That mode of R&D is dead now. It was dying even as UNIX was being developed, and they got management cover. The use for speeding up technical documentation really was the first business value justification. That was also how they managed to get the PDP-11 and how C got created for the port.
That line of reasoning gets a little weird, your car already has computers required for it to function, so you are already trusting computers not to crash to not kill you.

The software stack in this case is at least two orders of magnitude more complex than an ECU and ABS controller, though.
Via stupid spat reasons with Google and HE on IPv6, not via the usual meaning of Tier 1 vs Tier 2 (of which there is no official mediator of anyways) where they'd be unable to get it. It's not really worth considering them anything but a backbone provider here even if they don't meet the strict definition of a tier 1 because of those 2 standoffs on IPv6.

Also Cogent sucks but I guess you could say that about most providers.
"unfortunately CO2-based ethanol cannot be legally sold as a beverage"

Why not?

Edit: A little searching here seems to say that synthetic ethanol can be used as a food ingredient and must be accurately labeled. The policy doesn't say that it can't be used in beverages. However, I assume that it's use in many beverages are defacto banned as synthetic alcohol is not part of the tradition grain bill. I don't see why it can't be used in the liquors or a new type of beverage.

https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidan...

Another edit: it appears that FDA lists ethanol as GRAS for general food product use, and that TTB approves the use of GRAS ingredients. If you use synthetic flavors, it looks like that affects the labeling. I assume you would just have to label the alcohol consistent with it's source.
