Sure. Do you agree that there are fascist elements in Ukraine's government that should dealt with (by the Ukrainians, to be clear)? If you don't, which aspects of my examples do you contest?

So, Putin won?
I get this whole “let’s all push Russia to enter into a peaceful conclusion” mentality. But I can’t help but feel that we’re entering 1984 territory when we’re trying to close off any and all possibility of Russian communication or products to reach us.
“But it’s propaganda” sure, fine, but no one is censoring Pro Ukrainian propaganda, so it’s not being blocked just by that fact. And myself and others would very much like to hear the propaganda from both sides even if one is clearly in the right and the other in the wrong.
I'm not going to refute anything you've said but I am curious to hear what you have to say about Trump's statement which was something like "this wouldn't have happened with us in the White House". It seems more like Trump would have offered Ukraine to Putin as a gift and if you donate to one of my sham charities, I'll also sell you a few NATO countries.
Thermostats generally have an "off" setting, and it's historically not uncommon for homeowners to use this setting when the home is unoccupied as it clearly carries less risk in terms of both fire and unexpected energy costs than ones that may run the furnace.

Not only is your comment pedantic, it's not even correct.
Having lived abroad as a US citizen I understand and don’t disagree with your frustrations. The nomad or expat or retiree overseas life comes with some trade-offs and frustrations. Living abroad and constant traveling do get glamorized. Digital nomad forums are full of stories of immigration hassles, money problems, loneliness, alienation, culture shock. Sometimes the nomad makes obvious mistakes that complicate their life. Sometimes government bureaucracies and banks and employers add friction and hassle.

On the other hand, finding the information you need to travel and live abroad is fairly easy these days. A little planning and setting your expectations smooths the process out. It’s not for everyone, and definitely gets presented as more glamorous and exciting than it sometimes turns out. A person who is unhappy, lonely, insecure, financially unstable, or operating from unrealistic assumptions will just take those problems with them — living abroad isn’t a clean slate.

Some things in life you can change. Some things you can’t. It’s not always worth getting mad or fighting against screwed up rules or banging your head against obstacles. Every person has to make their own decisions about what they can live with.
This is slightly outdated now, but here's the GrapheneOS explanation for why they don't recommend Firefox, and why they bundle Chromium-based forks instead.

It's basically universally agreed among security people that Firefox is less secure than Chrome. It's up to you to decide is it's likely Mozilla's caught up in the (year?) since this was written,. Or if they'll ever be able to catch up, with their current funding, compensation packages, the size of their workforce (750 employees?), their hiring attractiveness to top security researchers, and their management priorities.

I saw it mentioned in few UK news outlets. And the family blame Putin, as they should. If Putin hadn't put everyone under this much stress to survive then there wouldn't be any question about this DJ surviving. An accident during a period of surviving what is approaching a genocide, with indiscriminate murder from a tyrant, will happen.

A free market doesn’t mean you get whatever you want wherever you want it. It just means there’s no unsurmountable barrier to entry into the market.

Microsoft, Apple, Spotify, Netflix, etc. + VC money, all have the money and means to compete directly with YouTube if they choose.

The market for “I want to watch Trump claim he stole the election without a disclaimer in the description” might not be that huge. As others have pointed out, creating news about election misinformation is still no problem on YT provided it’s explained as misinformation and not just provided without context.

Also, these content providers can self-host their video content and promote their content as they see fit.

You have to decide if bookmarking the sites of your favorite content providers is a better option than accepting YT’s content guidelines.

But you don’t get to demand that YT host whatever content suits your views. They can curate their platform as they see fit and you can consume it or not as you see fit.
There is something with the hardware as well, there is some green glare even on easy shots, but the fake lights problem I think is software, the software tries to "pretty" the image and introduces these fake lights.
Yep, but then there is the labor to uninstall, reinstall, and the effort to sell the original. The builder will actually install whatever you want, and the price is just low enough that you would not come out ahead doing the Craigslist swap later. They'll just make you pay the full price of whatever appliance you choose, no credit for the appliance you did not have installed.
> It could be that wide spread and persistent use of herbs required a certain level of population density and people traveling far to spread the word and learn from others.

It could be, but that's an assumption. Again, the null hypothesis being posited is "premodern humans didn't do this, unless proven otherwise," which is absolutely an assumption, and one already derived from a distinctly unique mode of human experience, i.e. Urban dweller in a high population. Even at the time that scholars were developing the mental models that have continued today to make the field willingly blind to actual human existence, most humans lived in one ecosystem over a long period of time and passed down oral folklore about medicinal herbs.

By and large, for most of human history, most humans lived in the same bioregion as their ancestors and their ancestors' ancestors. The notion that they didn't know how the plants, animals, and other natural phenomenon operated in their environment - that they were so incurious and stupid as to not gain facility with their land, and so incurious, stupid, and antisocial as to not share this information by default - is absolutely an assumption made by the field, one that's belied by enormous amounts of oral mythological, horticultural, and medicinal tradition among every single culture we know of, including the culture of the people who founded the field, and frankly, one that's led to Anthropology's rather poor historical record vis-a-vis native cultures and racism. It's a practice of willful blindness akin to John Miur cropping natives out of his picture of Yosemite because he wanted to capture the "untrammeled wilderness" and couldn't see what he was really looking at.
Whirlpool figured this out and deserves some praise here. All their new appliances that support Wi-Fi connectivity have a physical "Remote Enable" button that you must manually push every cycle to enable remote control of the device through the app. You cannot start the oven/washer/etc remotely unless someone has manually acknowledged it at the appliance and I believe it resets after 24 hours or when the cycle is complete.

My only problem right now is that I prefer a nylon strap to the provided rubber strap (I think I might have a mild allergy?), but all the nylon straps I've found end up covering the heartrate sensor. I've tried cutting a window out of the straps, but it doesn't work, and the way I cut the window (soldering iron) left rough, irritating edges. I have an idea for v2 of modifying the straps (and luckily nylon straps are extremely cheap, plus v2 cuts out all of the effected area of v1), but I might go for a chainlink strap instead.
I don't think this legislation will happen.

As part of the technocratic agenda, it is integral that all energy usage, water usage, etc is managed. For this to work, there needs to be 'kill switches'. Like the one's Biden has required new cars to have by 2025.

Technocrats want to (micro) manage everyone's usage of everything. The green agenda is the main sales pitch given for this, but also look out for needing to log on to go online because of ... terrorists, Russian internet attacks, child abuse, etc.

We are coding ourselves into dystopia.

Leaving not because of the crimes of the current regime but because of the sanctions affecting their quality of life. I had many online "friends" and distant relatives from Russia, and most of them is like "not my business", i don't care about politics, even when you show pictures with all horrors of war.
The other part is like: I'm against this, but what can we do, it's too risky to protest, i can get arrested for 14 days.
Whereas in Ukraine: unarmed people stopping tanks at risk of being killed. Mind-blowing how different our nations is. So don't worry much about people who can't leave country now, they are complicit in their inaction no less than the regime itself.
>The justification for NaN not being equal to themselves is just bonk.

It makes a lot of sense to me. NaN indicates data has been lost. You did something and you stored the result in a number datatype but the result isn't a number. Data was lost. You lost the data and have only 'your answer wasn't a number.'

Comparing NaN with NaN is asking the computer 'we have two buckets that have overflowed, were their contents the same?' The answer is 'we don't know' which means, to err on the side of safety, the answer is 'no.'

No?

Keeping civilian casualties to a minimum seems to be the objective. I expect things will escalate rapidly until Eastern Ukraine is under Russian control but only after most civilians are evacuated.
I think it is a legitimate complaint, even if they did post a disclaimer in the ad that said you had to connect to WiFi for full features. The market is having a tough time adjusting to this tactic, which seems to work primarily by preying on consumers that mostly do not know better. It's how we ended up with all good quality large televisions being Smart TVs, with no viable alternative. So people should complain, publicly, loudly, and demonstrate that a market exists for dumb devices.
If I ever have to write a code formatter, it will strictly enforce one line per statement and disallow artificial line breaks. Devs who end up writing 5000-character function chains better have a wide monitor.
Do... they? I follow a lot of people who I think you'd consider supporters of technocracy, and I've never seen anyone argue that it's good or important to have central monitoring of people's oven usage.
Are there more options to buy non-smart TVs in the EU than the US?
I recently wanted to buy a Bluetooth speaker for my mom. From experience I was looking for a small Bose speaker. It wasn't available. They recommended a Sonos alternative.

I looked at the packaging. The price was only slightly below the Bose "equivalent".

At home I wanted to quickly connect the speaker to the computer and was dumbstruck with the requirement to connect it to her wireless and install the App to configure it.

Also I had to agree to Sonos transmitting every app I used to stream music, every song I heard, inclusive of the account names.

This being sold without disclaimer or information that the device is unusable without such a data striptease, app install and wlan was quite irritating. I put the device back into the packaging, brought it back to the store and ordered a Bose for her.
My first advice would be to make sure that you're preparing for what is required for your interview. It's easy to get into a rabbit hole of things you think you should learn, but that they're never going to ask you. A lot of companies ask for leetcode types of question, so I'd say it's always a good starting point. It's also quite fun to solve problems. I would get the subscription and start with the most frequently asked easy problems.
May I ask what kind of car that was, and what country?
> The root problem is are consumers willing to pay extra for the end goods so that enough truckers will be willing to do the job under current parameters,

there's no evidence whatsoever that any price increases seen in the last 20 months are attributable to paying truckers any more, nor is there much evidence that consumption is being foregone.

so, i am not really sure what your point is or how this can be the "root problem".

greater-than and less-than already make no sense around NaN, you won't get much worse, I don't get what you're trying to point out with them. This is less a question about mathematical correctness (which there isn't much around NaN anyway), but more practical. There being this annoying NaN that breaks everything if its in an array to be sorted or in a set or a key in a map is just pure awful.

The hyperbole isn’t helpful. As has been highlighted time and time again, Wikipedia is the work of a relatively small amount of people and there is a great deal of bias because humans suffer from bias — regardless of their intentions.

“History is written by the victors” is a famous phrase a reason — facts are a representation of the information we are most confident in, not truth.
I have a fairly large FF DSLR Canon system that I rarely use at this point--though not sure if it's worth selling. (I do use it now and then.)

> The rightful outpouring of support for Ukraine teaches us that the West can condemn occupation when it wants to.

Hamas is a terrorist anti-semitic hate group. Ukraine isn't run by people who demand the total destruction of Russia and want a genocide on the Russian people. The contrast is sharp unless you're either blind or pretending to be.

A worthwhile resource on the topic, Ohio State Ag Economists discuss (important to US ag industries for obvious reasons)…

https://ocj.com/2022/03/ukraine-russia-and-crop-production/

Agricultural economists as a discipline deal with these and other policy/trade issues all the time. At agricultural colleges and universities, they provide farmers with insights so the right crops are grown in the right time and place at the right level. No political or financial agenda worthy of note. If you’re in the US and care enough, you might want to contact your local land grant school and talk to an ag economist who specializes in grain production about these concerns, or sponsor an on-line forum with them for others who are interested.

If I remember correctly, most wheat in Ukraine/Russia is/has been planted in the fall/winter for summer harvest. But active regional conflict right next to your breadbasket generally sounds like a dumb and dangerous idea to pursue. You can’t harvest if your harvesting equipment is disabled. You can’t get the grain to market if your transportation systems are disrupted. Seems silly. Slavs may need to gen up some culturally appropriate recipes using maize and soybeans.

If cryptographic timestamps are relevant and not against the rules of evidence, obviously they are admissible.

This really depends a lot on the language syntax, naming of built ins, and common idioms. Like Java is notorious for its long lines because it’s so verbose and long naming is the common convention. Lisps are notoriously far off to the other extreme. There’s quite a lot of room between those extremes, occupied by languages like Python and Ruby. And then there’s languages like JavaScript and especially TypeScript which span most of the range depending on preference.

Missile interrupts Kharkiv blogger's live recording in Ukraine
So last week there was a thread about a scientist who wrote a book: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30381000
and I am reading a copy of the book from my local library and it actually covers this topic. The relevant part of theory (which has been shown to be true for every species they measured with doubly labelled water/urine) is that all mammals are calorie restrained - there's a maximum amount of calories that can be eaten, and there's a maximum amount of calories that can be burned, the range for humans is not that big, humans have a much higher calorie per weight budget than our ape/monkey cousins, the extant hunter gatherer societies exhibit the same behavior, and that being inactive like many modern humans means we have excess calories to burn with our bodys involuntary system like the immune system (one of the hunter gatherer societies had high immune system activity because of endemic worm/disease infection to use up a lot of calories), so the hypothesis is being physically active (up to a point) tamps down the activity of involuntary systems that do not need to be so active.
> So we should just let Russia invade whatever country it wants and kill their way through Europe because otherwise ordinary Russian citizens might suffer?

No, absolutely not but that is a false dichotomy and I think you also know that. This isn’t a simple binary choice between doing nothing and imposing broad-stroke sanctions on every single citizen of Russia.

One simple first step could be for the US and Germany and the rest of Western Europe to simply stop buying oil from Russia and thereby cut off further direct funding for Putin’s war. We know that sanctions on regular citizens hurt regular citizens while cutting off oil purchases directly impedes the Russian state’s ability to wage war. Which do you think would be more effective?

As for increasing energy costs on Europeans and also Ukrainians who I understand are paying up to half their take-home wages to heat their homes, I think the easiest course of action would be for Western governments to directly subsidize energy prices in the short term while simultaneously cutting fuel and carbon taxes on those affected.

I don’t agree with your assessment of my logic that I would let Hitler exterminate anyone and I would appreciate it if we could keep the discussion civil.

I am not your enemy. I want this war to end ASAP as much as you do. We are simply advocating different strategies to achieve the same goal - peace.
