> 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.

Are you talking about the USA?

San Francisco is an outlier - there was a Bloomberg piece about it just a few days ago - their "recovery" from pre-pandemic office utilization is worst among large cities.

So remove San Francisco from the list and look at the rest of the large cities. Residential population in the "downtown" have been growing for decades, "class c" office space has been torn down or converted and companies move to new "class a" office towers, etc. Office vacancies are going to accelerate this trend and open up opportunities for more affordable urban living - especially in converted buildings.
Beautiful lobbies, 12 foot ceilings, massive windows, fiber internet already present, etc. The large cities that survive the next 3-4 years are going to be blossoming.

Any kind of mainstream press will tow the line of national bias in order to keep their access to official channels and in turn their legitimacy.
If you look at the numbers, it seems like English is the most spoken language in Africa. It's also the official language of the most populous African nation (Nigeria).
> Just ours.

I understand your sentiment.

The point is that in case of Ukraine the pro-russian half of the population did not want to be governed by us-installed government who started their reign by changing the language legislature in favor of the ukranian language. The anti-russian political tilt resulted in federalisation demands from the eastern regions as well as crimea which progressed into full-blown separatism (eventually supported by russia).

I believe it is quite immoral to blame Russia for supporting pro-russian separatists when the federal government installed by the US was effectively nationalistic.

> cut/paste to manipulate bullet lists often results in a dropped bullet,

I'm not in the business but I did once spend two weeks of my life QA'ing just bulleted list copy-paste edge cases for a content-editable based WYSIWYG wiki editor and I would like that time back thank you very much.
I just use reader view. Works surprisingly often. Some sites (WSJ for example) don't work though
Both sides are silencing the opposition, one side with government power and the other through media distribution monopolies. RT America (a Russian TV station) just declared bankruptcy after being dropped by DirecTV and Roku at the same time.
In the US, there is a huge cultural and economic divide between the processional/educated class vs. the low-skilled class, whereas elsewhere in the world not so much. In the US, the goal or aspiration is to escape being working class, as epitomized by the likes of JD Vance and others, whereas elsewhere being working class is not something to be so ashamed of or to escape from.
I despise this western-centric view- were only the people in the west are real people, that can make decisions for themselves, and the rest is just pawns for playing a funny great board game.

The idea that even a new-born nation, could walk out of the board game and do its own thing is so outrageous to the players, it is not even considered.

Well, ukraine just tried that. Its a sovereign nation, and it wanted nothing to do with its imperialistic neighbourhood. And all the zhars horse and all the zhars man, could not hold all its conquered ethnicities in again and again, cause technology now favors david instead of goliath.

So ukraine might not walk this time, but others will, until this ball of muddy-power dissolves one last and final time. Russia, this unreformable assembly of thiefdoms, is stumbling like a feverish plague victime towards the end of its story and it will not be pretty. To blame this corrosion on the west, is pompous victim blaming.

Russia is also falling apart near the chinese border, were large parts of the economy are now owned by chinese state owned companies. Its just a failed state and to the man with glass-bones-disease even a friendly handshake is a attack.

I don't care if the US "invaded anyone for territorial expansion" or did it for shits'n'giggles. It has done all the above and more which weakens any chance that calls for democracy, international order, peace, stability and trade can work.

The US is deeply disruptive to any of that happening because it opens the door to the MiniMe despots being able to claim that spending stupid amounts of GDP on weapons and having a "strong leader" is the only thing which will see them safe from being invaded "not for territorial expansion" during a "long fucking time".

That's why it is appropriate, relevant and not simply whataboutism.

Russia and other states are worse than the USA because they need to be in order to claw their way up the dungheap piled up by US foreign policy. And there is little inherent in US norms or culture which would prevent similar anti-democratic and anti-liberal punishments. To back to the OP: these are all shades of authoritarianism and we see calls all over the media and this very forum in favor of censorship, war and other stupidities.

Don't kid yourself, this isn't whataboutism, it's the very subject under discussion: Russia is violating international agreements and norms and in part this is because the USA has shat all over those for a very long time.
> To say that a plural form describes individuals is outright ridiculous and reminds me of a comment I've seen on Reddit once:

So then what is your problem with the term "Israeli Barbarians" or would it be better if I used the phrase "Israeli Occupiers"? And I presume you also have no issue with "Black savages" or "Black barbarians"? And I'm guessing you also have no problem with "Muslim barbarians" either?

Because remember, it is "ridiculous" to say the plural form describes individuals. So there is no coherent logical standard that makes "Russian barbarians" okay but not those other examples. In these types of cases you need to think about what the norm you are establishing will mean when it is turned against you, and it won't be pretty.
Nothing, I'm using Linux for all of my gaming.
Thanks! It is from you that I first heard about Lulu and looks like their price is pretty reasonable (600 page A5 Hardcover only costs 20 bucks but probably a lot more for CAD). I have quite a few manuals and pdfs that I would like to convert to books.
Russia's government gets half of its revenues from oil and gas exports, and the West can't afford not to buy it. The West can't speed the transition to renewables, because it's too costly (but all expenses for war and defense will be paid at all cost, that goes without saying).
My understanding is that EU has stopped all visa processing for Russians.
People died going to the moon the first time. Better to not go at all, or to have it cost 10x as much, than to risk even one astronaut's life.

Besides, if we just redid what we had, we would not be developing any new tech that could be used on earth. And it would be less comfortable, a very bad thing if you're still fighting the losing battle to convince anyone that they'd like to be in space for more that a brief adventure.

AFAIK they have cuirass ventilation to replace iron lungs now.

Those new tractors are most likely way more reliable. In practice they may be worse because of artificial limitations put there on purpose, but were it not for those it would almost certainly be better(Although people would probably still like the same ones, because no matter how reliable something is, people seem to like things with a "substantial" feel that they can understand).
Short answer is no. The real value in our solution is going from C1 compounds like CO2 to C2 or C3 or longer chain compounds. This is the real difficulty. Methanol is still a C1 compound. Biology could do it, but it's not what it excels at.

Maersk has commissioned 8 ships to run on methanol. For context, Maersk owns 550 ships. Gives you an idea of the size of the transportation fuel problem.
In South Africa, English is the most spoken language (of their 11 official ones). It’s the one almost everyone understands, brown, black, white. But people still have their own languages. Afrikaans, all the former tribal languages, and probably more I don’t know about.

My experience is rather narrow, but besides some very young (pre 1st grade) children who only spoke their tribal language (Request: If anyone is offering online tutoring in Sesotho, I’d love to get contacted), I never encountered anyone who didn’t speak English.
The irony is that to anyone who takes 2 minutes to read a wikipedia article, Autopilot is like cruise control or cruise control + lane assist. It is not "full self-flying" at all. However, too many people believe that a Tesla is years ahead of the rest of the pack when it comes to "full self-driving."

That's marketing for ya.

If one to spend time learning a new language for international communication the choice of the language must maximize the number of people you can comminicate with. Unless you want to talk only to other slavs, I would say English, Spanish and French would be my first choices, which are admittedly little Europe and Americas-centric.
What they say and do are 2 different things.

In 2010 or 2012 a large gas supply was found and Crimea was at the center of it.

Putin doesn't like the alternative solution for Europe and moved in to occupy Crimea as fast as possible.

Ukraine cut off water supply to the invaders. They were getting dry. And now he is looking for an excuse to invade a country.

NATO is a defensive measure, not an offensive one.

Putin is a bully that wants to keep his hold over Europe. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's not particularly European.

The whole planet is pretty much aligned on the sanctions. South Korea is not part of the EU. Nor is Switzerland.

This is the industry at large (and thank you so much for that!) but I'm actually really curious about what the work at Phase looks like in particular; I assume it's mostly not running assays on urine samples. :)
Agreed, I think it’s currently causing problems in the US.

In theory public media like PBS and NPR should address the gap, but those organizations tend to depend on donations from the wealthy, so their coverage skews towards their interests and conversational style.

I think the government should provide newspaper subscription vouchers to the poor.
People are leaving for FL and TX cause taxes you add in the salt deduction change its considerable. Have lived in FL TX and NY.

Why hasn't the Biden administration fixed this, by the way? Anyone know?

Frankly it's astonishing how few Trump-era policies have been reversed by this administration. When the GOP-dominated Congress acted to remove the SALT deduction, I always assumed it was just a bit of petty electoral revenge that would be reverted almost immediately. That appears to have been wrong. There's no shortage of similar examples, from immigration policy to idiotic "easy to win" trade wars to USPS governance, where Trump policies have survived so long that it's hard to believe that the Democrats don't agree with them.

Riveting is not simple. There are various types of rivets and riveting procedures for different occasions. It is simple if you just need two things to stay together, but on a ship there is a lot other considerations.

But I am surprised that welding was deemed simpler. Welding seems to me even more complex than riveting.
(deleted my old comment, I actually have a question now ;))

Are there plans to make proton support anti-cheat engines? Part of me hopes yes, but another equal part hopes you don't.
This is not a great headline. Side-channel attacks are possible on nearly any cryptographic or security-sensitive procedure. The paper doesn’t show some kind of general vulnerability of homomorphic encryption (or lattice-based encryption), just a specific issue with a specific library. A more accurate headline would be “Exploitable side-channel leakage vulnerability in SEAL up to version 3.6”. The cool contribution of the paper is that it does show how to leverage BKZ for this particular kind of leakage (which, over time, will probably occur eventually in other implementations of lattice-based cryptography).

Steam and protondb really helps mitigate this. My Nvidia card that could run games well on Windows ran them acceptably on Ubuntu on steam. No extra setup or work, steam did it all. I believe via vulkan drivers and proton but I'm not 100% sure. And this was a few years ago
All the commentary I see about the moon program says that the rockets bit of NASA was set up to be a pork barrel for all of Congress just so nobody cancelled the Apollo mission, and that the many people are annoyed that this structure is still in place.

Given that, the cost of the latest moon mission is “as much as we can squeeze the taxpayer for” rather than representative of the actual cost. The various new startups worldwide (not just SpaceX) are all much more interesting, though obviously they’ll only get a price comparison when they actually land a human.

Possibly infection when being looked at for a head injury, but I assume they take decent precautions.

Another user proposed grass was the commonality between those sports, in that case grass/dirt entering the eyes?

For forest/streams, possibly water/dirt entering the eyes?

I'm a solo founder. I dropped out of Stanford, made $180k through past projects, and whenever I worked with co-founders my projects have failed.

It's a common narrative that it's harder to be more successful as a solo founder. I don't agree because actually 66% of startups fail because of cofounder conflicts. Also startups with single founders tended to last longer and eventually achieve higher revenue (52% startups with succesful exits is solo founded). So if you are a solo founder, your risk of failing goes down significantly.

As for having someone to share your struggles, I joined this solo-ish founders community called https://FoundersCafe.io and they are bascially my co-founders without any of the drama.

I also hired out all the skillsets I lack.

Being a solo founder is fucking awesome as long as you have your needs met (emotional support + skill gaps)

Uh, you mean like Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria? I don't think whataboutism is a good argument for sanctions here. Sanctions are a balancing act between inconveniencing the regime and inconveniencing their people. There's a calculus to consider. You're acting as if this is a new tenet of international diplomacy or something.

Age can play to this.

Ask HN: Recommendations for a web based CMS for Postgres?
Our team has a custom built CMS that is really painful to update. Every time we make the slightest change to the database we have to dig in and debug the thing, it's too distracting. I'm looking for a web based Content Management System solution for everyone on my team, including the non-programming marketing and admin teammates. We need the bare-bones feature set:

1. Each user can login with a username and pass

2. User can see all the tables in the database

3. User can edit each column of each row

4. Basic searching&filtering would be nice

It doesn't need to be pretty, but it's gotta be intuitive. Also I don't want to have to configure anything, just the username and password for postgres and it works.

I've already explored pgAdmin and pgweb but they were both too technical. I'm also kinda new to the corporate world so google isn't showing me ads for these kinds of things yet.

Thoughts?
Can you expand on the US-backed putsch? Are you talking about Maidan? The thing where hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Kiev?
I went and watched some people installing hot rivets on youtube, and while I'm not sure it's much more demanding in terms of skill, it does look like an absolute pain to do, especially in tight spaces.

Working in the guts of a ship next to an open furnace, while people pass red hot metal around, then trying to squash that metal with a hammer (probably a large one) sounds like an absolute nightmare, and I bet it involves all sorts of fiddly clamping.

I don't think a blind rivet gun is a good comparison: the difficulty of hot riveting (if anybody has experience, please correct me) look to be around keeping the rivet at the right temperature, getting the other side properly clamped, walloping it just right under extremely adverse conditions, and making sure you don't set anything or anybody on fire in the process.

Thank you for working on this! Maybe this is not your area of expertise, but I'm interested in the performance differences between native DirectX performance and going through Vulkan abstraction layers like DXVK.
