>This is a good example of an amazingly bad article with the worst type of wiki lawyering on the talk page.

>absolutely no reason other than some editors going all "nuh uh"

They're almost certainly paid to keep that content on the talk page and off the article.

Once you're in the partisan politics bubble normal procedures and safeguards break down because there are absurd amounts of money being spent.

I looked at that talk page and it's just painful.

"It isn't his laptop"

"It isn't not proven to be not his laptop"

"Even if it is his laptop, it isn't his files"

"It isn't not proven to be not his files"

Just admit that it could be genuine or it could be a disinfo campaign. Ugh.
I disagree.

"Cutting off" means all sorts of things. Blocking russian sites from being posted is a form of cutting off.

"Too blunt an attempt to slow disinformation" is, IMO, bordering on euphemism. The increasingly enthusiastic swinging of blunt weapons has already made a terrible mess. Once the war misinformation game matures to where the Trump election or covid misinformation game has already matured to...

This week Youtube shut down an actual news channel that aired a Trump election statements in the process of reporting on it. Airing pro-regime Russian media will likely be next, in some fashion.

Yesterday, I caught up with a Russian friend of mine. He had complex views Ukraine, Putin & such two weeks ago. His views are no longer complex. He's squarely anti-Putin, anti-regime and considers Zelenski and the Ukrainian fighters heroic with no caveats. Obviously, the invasion itself played a part forming his current views. But... the shuttering of nearly all free media outlets cinched it. Now that dissident opinions are literally illegal in Russia again, he's literally supporting the opposite side in a war. This man is a lifelong nationalist.

This fearful attitude towards misinformation is dangerous, far more dangerous than misinformation in my opinion. That does not mean misinformation is not real, not a problem or not something that needs action. It does mean that this is a bad decision by Reddit.
That's going to be pretty complex, and either it'll need to be a very very advanced hobbyist, or else it will have to feature prebuilt stuff that you just plug together.

A high-bandwidth low-latency ground station that can talk to multiple satellites at once is not going to be easy.
I've found loads of bugs in the C support and David has been very responsive to my bug reports, even substantially reworking how realloc(3) was being handled because of a case we found.

Yes, Ice lake is 10th gen "Intel core". PCIe Gen5 / DDR5 is a part of 12th Gen "Alder Lake". According to wikipedia, "Saphire Rapids" is the code name for the Xeon that is based on Alder Lake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapphire_Rapids, and which will have PCIe Gen5 / DDR5. I don't believe it is available yet, but there are leaked benchmarks to be found..
Are the Russians of the older generation, that get their news from most of the official news, buying into the government story? Or do you think everybody already realized what is really happening in Ukraine?
Yeah... Exactly. Look at all the stuff Bell Labs came out with in the 60s and 70s that still survives today, without their involvement. Go will live on regardless.
I hope so. I wouldn't bet the life of everyone on earth on that. Russia has enough nukes to destroy the world and a direct conflict with the USA might deteriorate quickly.

Keep in mind he killed all opposition in Russia.
Ahh, nice.

The Jupiter Ace is one of the great "someone really made that a product?" things, lost to history. It had a flimsy shell and bad keys from what I remember reading, but it's amazing it became a product at all.

There's a lot more of this stuff going on again in the microcontroller world; perhaps partly out of reminiscence.

I see only benefits to cutting those countries off.

Sources of malware, DoS attacks based on who their governments currently have a disagreement with, scams, ransomware.

This reason always gets trotted out but Chinese and Russians have no interest in our internet / news sources / information.

Allowing them to connect to us just opens a point of attack, and is a weakness.

Cut the fibre, remove them from DNS. Let them build their own internet if they can.
The tax income produced by those people is being used to fund the war. It is unfortunate but it's better to have a person become poor than another person being bombed.

Ín a world without nukes they would be bombed too right now, because wars have a tendency of doing that regardless of who fights.
> Moderna did not invent this nucleotide sequence.

I almost agree, but my biology knowledge is not strong enough.

I'm just ignoring the press article and looking at the research article. It says:

> A BLAST search revealed that a 19 nucleotide portion of the SARS.Cov2 genome encompassing the furing cleavage site is a 100% complementary match to a codon-optimized proprietary sequence that is the reverse complement of the human mutS homolog (MSH3).

The article claims that it is the only exact match. How different is the natural sequence from the optimized sequence by Moderna? What happens considering 18 nucleotides sequences?

(My guess is that they are exaggerating how unique it is, but I may be wrong.)
Micropython uses pointer tags for small ints, maybe other things?
I am empathetic to your situation, but if you lived in Russia and paid taxes in Russia, you did support Putin. You also supported him just by living there, which was a statement that Russia is a place worth living in. Also if you didn't protest, you did support him passively.

The same can be said, probably to a lesser extent, about most of us living outside of Russia - if we bought things coming from Russia or didn't criticize Russia, we supported Putin in a similar way. Though it could be argued we, non-russian citizens don't have the responsibility for russian government's actions...

I'm wondering if resigning from a russian citizenship can help with the sanctions against russians. Surely openly criticizing the war and/or Putin with some kind of stickers or t-shirts or maybe Ukrainian colors can alleviate contact with actual people.

I think no one pretends sanctions are fair. But what's a better alternative?
Is that true? I have been told that money given to Wikipedia went towards wikipedia only, and those other activities were separate. I can't find a definite answer in their public reports and plans though.
From the article:

> The screening at the airport occurred in February, according to the Customs Service, raising the possibility that Griner has been in custody for at least several days.
The only people that can do something about it right this moment are all in Russia and as long as they don't the carnage will continue (in your name, no less).

Putin's generals have over the years been carefully winnowed down to a bunch of spineless bastards, it's clear that near a dictator of such power you will not find any credible competition, those are either in jail or six feet under. Interesting side effect, that also means that the really competent people have left or have been pensioned off.

And yet, those that are left are the only people with a credible shot at this. And the world - and their country - would likely love them for it, assuming they would live. Let's see which Russian fat cat grows a pair first. I think the touchstone will be when Putin gives the orders to deploy a nuke.
> I've been cutting bad parts of potatoes off my entire life with no ill effects.

Another datapoint: I also do that and never experienced problems.
What would happen if indeed NATO intervenes?

Russia will quickly start losing a conventional war. They would turn to nukes. When it seems like Russia is losing, all nuclear nations would be on high alert. They being on high alert with fingers on triggers is bad not just for Nato and Russia but also for non participating countries like China, India, Pakistan, Israel, NK because when there is a nuclear war on the horizon, everyone wants to be on the alert. However, each country raising alert will cause suspicion on the other country. For example, China raising its alert level will trigger India to do the same followed by Pakistan. All it takes now is one nuke to fly (may be between Nato and Russia or even a false launch detection). Now all countries will trigger all their nukes purely out of suspicion in the fog of war due to panic.

So that's why Russia can shoot/burn or destroy people /cities /infrastructure, NATO will not lift a single finger in terms of actual participation in war to help Ukraine (whatever the public opinion might be).
The tomato plant and its alkaloids were also experimented with, hence the witches potions.

The Salem Witch trials is because the tomato was considered the devils fruit, but it was the plant alkaloids which caused the real trouble (hallucinogens) and libido raising, hence riding the broomstick.

> It really goes to show that nukes just shouldn’t exist- there’s no “counter” to them if the other side is suicidal

THat's the point of nukes. Even if your economy and army suck, you still can be sure that no one will try to go through your borders to get some

> is every user curated platform doomed to reach this state?

One hypothesis is that, yes: you're hitting on an intrinsic aspect of human nature.

A possible remedy would be to set up curated sites across the spectrum, and query a 'millepedia' front end to ask: "Who is the all-time worst political figure, and why is it $GUY_I_DISDAIN?"
Sure, nothing personal, one leaves, a thousand of others will do the same with the same reasoning, then a million, ten millions... Who will stay? No idea, but Putin definitely will, putting in danger the whole world.
I'm explaining why people would say this is a poor, even irresponsible introduction to the topic. "Nothing to understand", "censorship" are extreme reactions. It's a good idea to understand criticism before dismissing it.

To take an extreme example... If a medical textbook had some strange and nonstandard information, and doctors said it should not be published because it advocates poor health outcomes... Is that "censorship"?

It certainly applies political pressure with respect to the current war, but it seems absurd to suggest that Russian citizens will replace Putin because of inconveniences on the internet.

Compare the total area of Ukraine and Russia - and max distance between the border and the capital city.
A wizard builds a tall tower to test themselves and to demonstrate their powers to the universe. In order to build a tower that reaches into the heavens you require a strong foundation and the capability to enchant the building against the elements.

In a way, it's a fitting example of how perspective can shape your perception of reality. From the ground you can't see far but the details are easy to make out, as you rise you're able to see further away in less detail, but as you continue rising your vision eventually becomes obscured by the clouds, and finally you reach the vastness of space.
No. Economic sanctions are an act of war. Just like blockading a port is an act of war. War doesn't necessarily mean killing human beings. You could bomb an empty munitions factory and it would be an act of war.

Economic sanctions is the rich nations' weapon. It's a weapon that only a wealthy nation can wield. It's why there is so much support for it amongst rich nations. Certainly if anyone destabilized the american or european economies with sanctions, we'd definitely call it an act of war.

> From a schoolyard perspective, economic sanctions are like giving a peer the silent treatment.

No. It would be like Bezos saying if anyone does business with you, they'll be cut off from amazon. It's saying anyone who does business with russia is going to get attacked. It's why china was attacked for trading with iran when china doesn't have any economic sanctions on iran. It's saying the whole world can't do business with russia.

All wars are fundamentally economic wars. But we usually cloak it around noble virtues like 'freedom, god, democracy, 'kill nazis', etc' because it's so tacky and shameful to be attacking each other for money. Makes you no better than common criminal. A lousy thief at that. Surely, the leaders of Russia, US, NATO, etc are better than some lousy neighborhood thief. Right?
nukes is the best things that happened and the reason why there is not world wars anymore. You can make an argument that Izrael should give 3 or 4 warheads to Iran.
It would de-escalate the proxy wars.
So we are supposed to just let dictators do anything they please because we don't want hurt their subjects?

There's not many options beside kinetic war and obliterating the economy.

What do you suggest we do that would be more effective? Hand over Ukraine's sovereignty?
That seems too strong a statement. Unless you have personal or expert insight you do not know Putin is thinking.

Putin has always said that an eastward NATO expansion to the borders of Russia is unacceptable as this poses a security thread to Russia. And because it is hard to know what somebody thinks I will just assume that he thinks what he says unless there are good reasons to assume he was consistently lying about this concerns for decades.

I thought there was no real advantage to moving nuclear weapons close to borders any more. I am no expert, my impression was the static location made them vulnerable to attack and counter measures.

For a first strike it might still be good to be as close to the target as possible because it minimizes reaction time. And for a first strike you are not so much worried about them being in a static location.

But I was a bit sloppy there, I just wrote nukes but I am not actually sure what kind of military assets would be the most worrisome. Maybe it would be an anti ballistic missile system close to your border that weakens your nuclear posture. Maybe it would just be a hand full of military bases with a few hundred tanks.

In the end it doesn't really matter, I think a NATO presence close to Russian borders is unlikely to be a security thread to Russia, no matter what kind of assets, but Putin thinks otherwise.
They were sanctioned, so they had to.

This is precisely what leads to atrocities like Japanese internment camps. We are repeating dark history in real time and it's being actively cheered on by a bloodthirsty mob who have no regard for innocent civilians and kids.
I'm not sure how you would know what their reasons were unless you're some kind of mind reader.

The other side just engaged in, labelling, name calling and ad hominem attacks which is what added credence to this theory in the first place..
After Russia's showing in Ukraine, I think it goes without saying that Moscow would be under American occupation right now if not for nuclear weapons
Rick Perry, governor of Texas from 2000 to 2015 and then Trump's Secretary of Energy, tried in early 2007 to add vaccination against some strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer to the list of required vaccinations for children to attend public school in Texas (with exceptions easily available for parents who object on the grounds of religion or conscience), and make it free of charge to anyone not covered by insurance.

This was unpopular enough with the rest of his party that he had to give up on it. One of the main objections was that since HPV is sexually transmitted protecting against it would encourage kids to have sex.

That is of course a ridiculous objection. You'd be hard pressed to find an actual horny teen couple for whom the risk that sex would lead to cervical cancer 30 years later would be something they would consider when deciding how far to go.
The green parts are really bitter. I always figured that was the reason you don't hear much about people being poisoned by green potatoes. They taste nasty enough that it's usually just not a problem.

I wondered for a while, is there any sensible analysis on the effectiveness of economic sanctions?
"Why trucking can't deliver the goods?"

A lot of innocent civilians die in the process of toppling any eternal psychopathic dictator with firm grip on their country. The bloodbath of WW2 could have been completely avoided if Hitler was simply allowed to take a bunch of countries and kill some minorities. If that works for you then there is something awfully twisted about you. This, however, doesn't work for people under those regimes - the ones that actually get burned.

Also, chemical weapons are WMDs - something Saddam had and used. More homework for you: Operation Opera. Left alone, this guy would be a more psychotic ME DPRK. It's hard to imagine that DPRK itself doesn't come close to Iraq under Saddam.
Recognising chunks of Ukraine as "independent republics" and then moving troops in isn't a negotiating tactic. Encircling the capital isn't a negotiating tactic.
I, for one, am glad this isn’t disseminated widely. There may be a theoretical risk, but it’s minimal, and food waste is a much larger problem. I always eat my sprouted potatoes.
I think this is a perfect example of why there is so much bad "logic" in nutrition science. Everything in this article may be true (potatoes with sprouts have a higher concentration glycoalkaloids), but there is 0 evidence that is something any human actually needs to worry about, especially given the other comments in this thread.

It's similar to the bad advice that was prevalent in the US for decades that eggs are bad for you. Thinking was just basically "People with high cholesterol are at greater risk of coronary disease, and egg yolks have a lot of cholesterol, thus, egg yolks bad." When they did actual studies, they found this to be nonsense for the vast majority of people because eating more eggs did not raise their serum cholesterol levels.

Appeasement would have been to allow the LPR and DPR independence and cede Crimea before all of this even started.

To avoid devastation, needless deaths and the mass exodus of refugees. Now even if the war was over tomorrow it would take decades to recover - to deal with unexploded ordnance and for people to return.

We're way past appeasement.
Putin has lied constantly during this conflict. He said his troops were not on Ukraine's border when they were. When called out on that, he said they weren't going to invade right up until they did invade. The latest is that Russia agreed to honour a limited ceasefire around civilian evacuation corridors but then broke that ceasefire.

Evidently, all we can do is respond to what Putin does. One must assume that, if the West declared war on Russia, Russia would take specific military actions. Since Russia has not responded to sanctions with those military actions, Putin evidently does not view sanctions as a declaration of war, no matter what noises come out of his mouth.

This is the downside of constant prevarication for state leaders. If Putin ever truthfully tells the West where there is line past which he will respond with force, nobody will know he's telling the truth. e.g. Putin has repeatedly implied that instituting a "no fly" zone would result in nuclear war, but it's clear we can't trust that. It may be a lie. If NATO planes move in Russian planes may simply move out with no further response from Russia.

Starvation is like 99% a logistics issue and 1% a food quantity issue.

A more people getting sick from eating green potatoes in the u.s. or Europe isn't going to cause any less people to starve in developing nations.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanine

It seems like most of the fatalities were related to food shortages, ie people eating very bad potatoes they wouldn't have normally eaten. Alkaloids have a strong bitter taste that makes it difficult to consume enough of them to do harm. Unless you're starving.

My point was just that concentrations in a normal potato, that's turned a little green on the counter are far below anything you need to worry about. If you want to be especially cautious, peel it. But it's a bit of waste to throw them away.

Definitely don't eat the sprouts, or the greens of any nightshade.
Honestly, if throwing nukes in Europe, including nuclear fallout over NATO states, is not the red line, then there isn't any. If you allow Putin to throw nukes and answer with more economic sanctions, then the West is a complete joke.
