I expect Russia to boost assasination squads. Most companies have no access to secret service. Not only they are sitting ducks, their families too. All I can say is see mysterious and over the top deaths of public companies c-level tier. As you can see Putin shelling civilians building. But what Ukrainian news source didn't tell you is that those building have civilians taking up arms. Once you do that it is a fair gain to bomb you. American routinely did that. Ever heard of Obama bombing hospitals? Killing children? Killing goat herders that "look" like OBL? These civilians upgraded themselves to enemy combatant status. Yes, rise of sanctions as modern war tool. But so is economic civilians assasinations too.
Does not wanting to not die in a nuclear hellstorm put me on the fringe? Because it seems obvious to me that the most powerful people and institutions in the West are all gearing up for a direct war with Russia. Frankly I’m totally indifferent as to whether or not Ukraine ends up being annexed by Russia. I don’t want to die for some country that’s thousands of miles away from where I live.
That’s the thing. A big part of Ukraine’s citizens are willing. Crimea and the two breakaway republics are for sure.

The other issues are that Russians view Ukraine as their ancestral homeland[1], every major invasion of Russia has gone through it, and they view Ukraine in NATO as an existential threat.

On the other hand if Russia wins the only real consequence for the USA and EU is basically the status quo.

There is no way Russia backs down here and anyone with even a modicum of historical education knows it.

There is some debate about this which can be found surrounding my linked comment in OP.
The above proof is just stating that all nonprimes >= 4 are even, and therefore can be pumped -- so contradiction by pumping lemma does not apply.
Definitely - while we had a few Lords and Barons and what-not turn up, they were typically here as adventurers/mercenaries[0] or amateur scientists. And usually not from the English nobility.

The people looking to move to colonies from Britain were typically those who were willing to risk the long sea voyage and the hard grind for a chance to build a better life. And English companies set up to colonise NZ focused on bringing large amounts of the working class so that they could do what was needed to make the "estates of gentlemen" productive.

But then combine the gold rushes[1, 2, 3], the Scottish colonisation of Otago/Õtākou[4], and other people settling who had no ties to the English class system (Irish via Australia, Chinese gold miners, Scandinavians up in Dannevirke), the the English class system was never going to really take hold, although the people who formed the new "upper classes" in terms of property holdings and social status did try to maintain it.

And all that said, the Canterbury Association that formed Christchurch did its best to ensure that Christchurch was the most "English city", it was strongly tied to the Anglican church which was gifted rather large plots of land (as was the Anglican private school, Christ's College[5], still a large landlord in the city), and indeed, the Canterbury diocese still holds a rather large property portfolio[6].

Christchurch is probably the most likely place for people to ask which school you went to, and where going to the same school as your interviewer might open some doors, but it's a lot less prevalent these days, IMO.

There is another likely scenario, Putin dies for some reason. Replacement gives up on the invasion.
Yes, and that was dumb, it telegraphed a very clear weakness to Putin.
For the first quote DIA stated

> ...it may field higher power systems that extend the threat to the structures of non-optical satellites

Just conjecture?
Switzerland is a special case, as everyone who took up military service will be periodically trained until their 40s and keep their arms and equipment at home. In case of mobilization, only ammunition needs to be given out.

That does run counter to the "arming a society is easy" take, as specially in Switzerland it's a pretty safe bet that most households do possess weapons, are even required to by law you could say
A 40x P/E just shows the market pricing in the expectation that its AMDs earnings are going to continue to grow (probably by eating market share).

Imho paying a dividend is a pretty bad sign in this industry - they should be funneling everything in to R&D. Their 10x P/E reflects a belief that their earnings are going to remain relatively stagnant.

See these forward looking earnings estimates:

That said, I'm with you, I'd rather be holding Intel in this market.

I hear this a lot, but I don't understand how people think it's worse. How is a lab leak worse than the virus emerging from a wet market? At least if it's a lab leak it was while doing potentially life-saving medical research.
Oh yes he would dare. For him, the Ukrainian airspace is no different from Russia’s own.
> the growth rate of cars outscaled roads

That's underselling it a bit. The growth rate of roads was deliberately stalled in the 70s. We just elected not to build new infrastructure in most places, and coast with what we had. There are some exceptions, but they are just that -- exceptions.

Meanwhile, it seems that the same people who didn't want to build any more road infrastructure also didn't want to build mass transit rail infrastructure either. And so here we are.

Now, it's probably too late without a major cultural shift and realignment of priorities and sensitivities. We give everyone a seat at the table and every last one of them has veto power. So ... nothing happens. Without unanimous consensus.

Hell, Oregon & Washington spent $175 million just to plan out a new bridge, and over $100 million of that was just pretty pictures. In the end, too many vetoes, too much fighting, we gave up. Eventually we will try again but maybe it will take the existing I-5 bridge dropping into the river from old age before agreement can be reached.
I never understood the hang-up around women with degrees not wanting to date men without degrees. I've met plenty of people with Psychology/Biology degrees who wait tables and I've met plenty of people with advanced degrees who were complete morons. I don't think the binary data point of degree/no degree is the best signal for intelligence or earning potential.
while this action is clear based on the sanctions, MasterCard, Visa and Paypal have not done themselves any favors based on the past actions of acting cartel like in other situations which were not based on sanctions.

It is easy (for me anyway) to see how some people could consider their actions to be in the same vein of their previous attempts to regulate the speech and actions of private individuals they find politically disagreeable. MC and Paypal being the much bigger offenders of that...
And what happens when the Russian people start seeing themselves as victims of the west, like the German people after ww1?
This is what modern, efficient, large-scale farming is all about. We use fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, to exterminate almost every living organism from the vicinity except for the crop itself.

You would almost certainly starve if you tried to eat only things that have been grown without any such chemicals. Most "organic" type of certifications do not blanket prohibit them.
> annex [verb] - add (territory) to one's own territory by appropriation

I don't think anyone supports NATO annexing countries, problematic or otherwise.
(gentle) Escalation till the point where Russia will have to give up or concede, something far bigger than Ukraine, from an region with an strategic resource to something digital, like encryption keys or forcing West backdoors in their systems.

That assumes that Putin will prefer to surrender and keep avoiding by all means falling into an end of the world scenario. At least while the push keeps being gentle.

Anyway, the situation is pretty fragile. There are more players in the game, from big economic players and tech companies to individuals that may, by a direct or a false flag operation, do something (like a hack attempt or destruction of system/information) that could trigger a big reaction from one of the sides.
In Russian, the combo s+z is also effectively pronounced as a geminated z. But it's still spelled "sz", because Russian orthography tends to be morphemic rather than phonetic. So from the perspective of reading familiarity, using "z" as a digraph marker would cause a lot of confusion on how to read it properly.

"x" at least has the advantage that it's foreign to almost everyone, and thus forces you to look up what the hell it's supposed to mean! But in general, I think that diacritics work much better for readability of Latin-based Slavic alphabets, with Czech being a decent starting point ("ch" aside).

As for the consonant clusters, they are easy to pronounce to Slavs, because we're used to them. Ask a native English speaker sometime what they think about a combo like "vzt" :)

(The reason why we ended up with these unusual consonant clusters is because of the loss of yers. For example, "pomst" and "мстить" are derived from proto-Slavic "*mьstь", where "ь" was originally short "e". This is also why vowels show up in the middle of those consonant clusters sometimes when words change such that the syllable that used to have a yer in it becomes stressed - as in Russian "месть".)
That’s true, but a lot of the higher profile activities attributed to Anonymous was the particular group the parent comment is talking about. I know Kirtaner (founder of 420chan) was involved and has been talking about it a lot lately.
In realpolitik terms, nuclear war is the most likely outcome of any further escalation w/ NATO including the US / West refusing to lose face / back off. It's just that most folks do not think in such terms and are crafting delusions where that doesn't take place: Revolution in Russia! Putin will be overthrown! Minor nuclear escalation then everyone will back off! Let's have NATO get involved in Ukraine then it'll be on the Russians if they pull the trigger! They would never dare!

People are talking about the Russians being brainwashed, but read most of the comments in this thread and you'll realize they're far from being the only ones.

>I don't know what nazi propaganda was.

without knowing of a minimum of related history, you're still feeling like you cam meaningfully comment.

>The narrative of the russian officials is like the ukranian army places its heavy units in residential areas which makes them difficult to attack without causing collateral damage.

You feel necessary to repeat Russian propaganda again. According to that Russia propaganda the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad are guilty of Stalingrad destruction not German Nazi.

Anyway, if Ukrainians are hiding heavy units in residential areas when why all this tremendous amount of videos of the widespread residential destruction by Russian bombings contain no Ukrainian weaponry? Showing destroyed Ukrainian tank which was hidden in the children sandbox would be a great propaganda scoop for Russians, yet somehow they still haven't managed to show anything like this.

On the other side there is huge number of Russian tanks, armor carriers burnt on the city streets. Why those Russians were in the city? It is very reasonable to suspect that in those cases the Russians have been using the cities as human shield. Tons of videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-pBMdUWhws , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge07_whd1v0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khPbavvcP38

>Cluster likely, vacuum unlikely.

again, you either repeat propaganda or more likely talking what you don't know about.

Cluster - the "spines" of the Uragan and "Smerch" cluster missile in the attacked areas is a clear evidence, like here for example https://twitter.com/bellingcat/status/1497205591814684678?s=...

Vacuum - in the linked video the explosion is pretty characteristic of vacuum munition https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H6Hj5VoZN_k . And there is a number or reports of Russian TOS-1 "Buratino" - vacuum munition missile launcher, and that weapon "shines", ie. extremely damaging in cities, not open field.
To the title I respond: its the same answer as any planned obsolecense argument. People don't like paying for sustainability. Would you wan't to just pay someone to keep using your 1956 Kitchen Aide mixer? Just cause it ain't broke yet? Perfection is not a good business model.
Who knows, maybe the cutoff will lead to a new command economy? It might be challenging, but it’s been done before. And, if russia ends up building its own tech infrastructure from bottom to top, it could even be in their rational interest.
I'm not sure there has been no mitigation done, the site has almost certainly been designed in a way where a DDOS attack against it won't impact the rest of the organization. Mitigation is more about causing failure to not really matter than it is about completely preventing failure. The point of a website like FSB.ru is to promote employment within the FSB, to encourage public support of the FSB, and to inform the public of the services the FSB provides. The website is useful but not critical to the FSB's mission. It's fine for this website to go down on rare occasions.

The FSB going out of their way to proactively ensure the site maintains 100% uptime even in the face of a rare, massive, and temporary DDOS campaign is expensive and a waste of resources. If you're going to focus your resources on keeping a website that hardly even matters up 100% of the time, you're going to end up having your IT organization disrupted in a far more meaningful way. The organization as a whole has limited resources and is regularly dealing with defending against the most advanced APT's in the world from infiltrating its network and disrupting its activities. Good stewardship of IT means good prioritization.
X.Y.Z versioning:

Bump Z up if the parameter arguments are the same but can take more argument options or a new API was added.

Bump Y up if an existing function argument types got fundamentally changed.

Bump X if it is a major rework, entailing new test suite, deleted obsoleted functions, engine redesign.

Of course, you should do doing some form of versioning check for same library across disparate subsystems (frontend, backend, middleware).

No more breakage.

Well, you can still easily base the proof on the pumping lemma:

1. The language {1^x: x prime} is not regular (as immediately shown by the pumping lemma).

2. The language {1^x: x not prime} is not regular (because it is the complement of {1^x: x prime}, and the complement of a regular language is regular).

It follows that the pumping lemma does not apply to the language {1^x: x not prime}; just because the string 1111 can be divided that way doesn't mean all strings in the language can be so divided.

> No pumping Lemma -> Not regular, Yeah Pumping Lemma -> Who knows

This is incorrect; any language to which the pumping lemma for regular languages applies is a regular language.
Every time I decide to build a site, frameworks just get in my way and piss me off with their shortsighted design decisions.

Here's an example of an application written without using heavy frameworks:
https://github.com/wisercoder/eureka

It uses two libs, 200 lines and 500 lines each:

This lib for components: https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder

And this one for routing (HTML5 history API): https://github.com/wisercoder/mvc-router

React is overrated in my opinion. If your UI is mostly read-only then React works well. If it has simple interactivity then React still works well. But if you have components that manage their own interactivity then React breaks down. That's because such interactive components have state. When a component has state, and you want to update props then FB recommends replacing the component by changing the key. At that point you lose all benefits of React, including preservation of selection, scroll position, focus, etc.
There was a massive international solidarity shown during BLM which certainly pressured the US government to take the issue seriously. There was no solidarity with Russian people protesting against Putin, and there is still no solidarity now.
Yes. I recently switched to chrome after using firefox for 10 years. My main reason are firefox is going down in development/share and it in-turns effects security and performance.
Think about what you're saying. You think 15 is an even number?

maweki may be thinking that you can divide a string for pumping lemma purposes any way you please. If that were true, you could show that all strings of nonprime length could be pumped while still retaining nonprime length:

1. |s| is composite, so |s| = km for some integers k and m

2. Choose the length of the pumpable substring y to be k. Then |xz| = s - k = k(m-1), and |x y^n z| = k(m-1) + kn = k(m + n - 1). This is composite, so the pumping is valid.

The problem, as jwillk has identified, is that the pumping lemma doesn't allow this. The language has a pumping length (traditionally m), and you have to divide your string into three substrings x y z such that all of the following are true:

1. |y| > 0

2. |xz| < m

3. x y^n z remains in the language for all n.

Condition (2) prevents us from using the maweki strategy.

I'll chime in, though I am sure Dang will ban because he doesn't appreciate honesty. I want humanity to perish.

Abused my whole life, but promised my college tuition would be paid for by parents. That was a lie so I have no family and 110k in debt. 15 years out of college and I still can't get a development job.

Been working as a Baker most of my life. I saw an ex girlfiend become big time designer at Microsoft with a portfolio of stick figures. An old friend with no high school diploma get a job at Facebook. Meanwhile, fuck me. I have designed and developed my own apps, started my own businesses, learned to fly a plane, and earned a black belt. Meanwhile, I can't convince an HR person with a sociology degree to notice anything (which why am I even talking to someone that isn't in the same field as me?).

Everyone who claimed to love me has back stabbed me emotionally and financially.I am half Mexican and white and fit in with absolutely no one. I have experienced extreme racism my whole life, but I look white so no one gives a fuck. Individualism makes absolutely no sense to me. Humanity doesn't really seem to be working together towards anything so I don't see a future worth living for. People seem to hate space exploration, so why bother continuing.

Ultimately, I was probably going to kill myself when the government starts garnishing my wages since I am not paying back my college loans and don't intend to. I would rather die that be an indentured servant for something I never would have done if it wasn't promised to be paid for. So a nuclear strike sounds way more fun than sleeping pills.

It's incredibly selfish, but most of you are spoiled and privileged that you think the majority of people have time to think about pronouns, which I find far more selfish of an act.

So yeah, I would love to see humanity perish.
Yup. And it takes a lot of work and requires a lot of insight to sensibly conclude the conditions will stay the same. Ie, either way, it's not simple. Warren Buffett gives these folksy sounding quotes which make it seem so easy, but he's a fanatic who has been fanatically watching businesses in detail for 70 years... and he still gets it wrong sometimes.
(Un)fortunately there is absolutely no credibility anymore behind any messages released by putins govt, they proved multiple times already that they are saying one thing and doing another.
Some time ago I saw a beautiful conversation in comments for some article about Ukrainian internal political life. One of their famous politicians (and scammer) Julia Timoshenko was jailed for some months and during that time she asked to transfer her from cell to prison hospital, for many reasons and one of these reasons was an injury, hematoma on her abdomen.

One of commentators said something like:
- How is it possible, she's lying, here's no way to get hematoma on abdomen!
And reply to him was:
- When you will be jailed, you will learn: how is it possible.

So, when you recommending books like this, from the people who wasn't beaten even once, li looks hilarious. How to make revolution with lego figures and funny pictures, wow.

How to get your legs broken during arrest or lose one eye, do you want to know it? Even without new laws. How to get tuberculosis in prison in 30 days? How to get real imprisonment for a years for fabricated felony?

I see a kind of schizophrenia here: if Putin is dictator, he's already can do what he want without approval from electorate, but then I see here accusation for me that I and people like me didn't rid off him. It's not so easy to do, you may know.

More to say, when daughter of some corrupted govenor of one of Russia regions coming to USA, she got visa for extremely talented people, because she owns some startup (captured by her rich daddy).

If I will try to come to USA, I must pass TOEFL, pass through interview for Amazon/Google/whatever and then work, work, and pay rent and smile, and work again. I will have no time for anything except angry dislikes in youtube.

USA and EU made no way for me and people like me in Russia to be involved in politics while being in opposition to my government. It all looks like call "run into Kremlin wall and try to break it with your head, why you didn't it yet?".
Seems like a good place to mention that I bought a Klein bottle hat from Cliff for my (mathematically inclined) wife for Christmas and she loved it. Also there is more to it than just the item, the packaging and other extras really put it over the top. I can't recommend it enough.
I don't know if this is intended to be analogus, but line of sight seems pretty compelling.
@dang nice Unicode hack here you might want to consider filtering
If you use any strongly typed language with a halfway decent framework you _don't_ have to think about this because the request will automatically be validated and rejected for invalid input before your code is ever hit.
