Did Malcolm X vent by yelling at trees, punching pillows or griping to his friends?
The USA at least subjects itself to elections, free press, democracy. That is the crucial difference.

Democratic systems get it wrong sometimes. No doubt.

I'm a UK citizen and disagreed with the war in Iraq waged in my name. But at least I was permitted to go out on the street and protest it. And eventually Blair was gone. And soon, so will Blowjo. But Putin has been around for long enough now, that he's starting to cause a bad smell in the world.

And it might seem unjust that Tony Blair and the rest never saw the Hague. I live in hope. But I see that what Russia is doing now is completely unacceptable regardless of how it sees the world evolving. It's democracy vs autocracy and democracy will win because if it doesn't, then what's the fucking point.
Not sure of the validity of the article. But in my experience, my friends and colleagues who vent a lot seem to vent all the time. It seem like their venting is fueling whatever their annoyances is at that moment.

I think it's more about regulating your emotions in a calm, rational way. Venting can get emotional and could add fuel to the fire. But if you can achieve talking about the problem in a more calm, empathetic, rational way, it might work better. Of course, easier said than done.
And yet, instead of killing/imprisoning the dictator, US-led invasion resulted in many civilians killed, their houses destroyed, not to mention drone strikes against civilians. If (many) innocent people get killed in the end, I see no big difference.
Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union killed millions of their own citizens. That's something democracy tends to prevent.
Plenty of ways to use cannabis without smoking (combustion). Examples include edibles, vaporizers, suppositories, and topicals. You’ve heard of the nicotine patch but did you know they have THC patches?
You realize you can go to food banks and soup kitchens right?
A new major refinery? Give or take, a decade. From planning, basic engineering, to permitting, detailed engineering and construction.

The fastest, easiest way to solve the issue is to blend our light crude with heavy crude to have something usable in our refineries.

The cheapest, fastest and safest way to move oil is through a pipeline. The most geopolitically stable supplier of heavy and super heavy crude oil is just north of our border. Canada. The pipeline that was meant to bring their crude, the keystone pipeline was cancelled after its permits were revoked.

The con of Canadian oil is that some of it is produced by Steam Assisted Gravity Drain, a process were steam has to be injected into the reservoir to heat up and reduce the heavy oil’s viscosity, allowing it to drain into a horizontal well, drilled closely below the steam injecting well. This is an energy intensive process, and if the energy to produce the steam is derived from fossil fuels, it’s carbon footprint is large.

Another potential suppliers of heavy crude is Venezuela, but it’s dictatorship has mismanaged the industry to the point that they are importing crude and distillates.

There are no solutions, only trade offs.
Hundreds of warheads would do the trick but it wouldn't take more than a two-week power outage to bring most civilizations currently on earth to the brink of collapse.

For context, leaded gasoline phase-out began in 1973, based on the 1970 Clean Air Act. It was largely gone in the US by the 80s but not officially eliminated (except for General Aviation) until 1996. Other countries continued to use leaded gasoline, largely in Africa and the Middle East; the UN started an effort in 2002 to eliminate it in those places still using it. In July 2021, the last stocks of leaded gasoline (in Algeria) were exhausted (probably literally).
> Queues only serve to mitigate bursts.

Well, they also serve to hold your state while you add processing capacity.

If you look at a market queues, when they start to grow, management deviates people from non time sensitive tasks into cashiers. The queues make keeps things working during the change.

Equivalent situations happen on software too.
And sadly, not even the actuality of CO2 reduction. Burning those trees releases a lot of CO2, and has the same impact no matter where that CO2 came from.

The claim of course is that the trees will grow back, but that takes decades, and emission reductions are very time-sensitive at this point due to feedback loops kicking in.
Robo call in Russian and say: Z is For Zelenskyy, if you support Zelenskyy put a big Z on your vehicle. (Russia's trying to create their own Swastika out of Z which is very poor marketing since Zelenskyy's name starts with Z and you can't really google 'Z'... etc...

The best counter is to make the Kremlin have to guess if you're Z is secretly counter-support or actual support for their 'narrative' of what 'Z' stands for.
This recent case seems to correlate closely with that research:

MSP | New Zealand | paid $90/day for simply being on call, plus for any out-of-hours callouts we can choose (on a per callout basis) $100/hr with 50‰ lieu time OR $50/hr with 100% lieu time | my team's current rotation has us on call for 1 week out of every 8 weeks. Most weeks average 3-10 callouts.

I should add that we're all salary workers, the hourly rates mentioned are in addition to normal salary. Reading some of the other responses I'm feeling really fortunate.

I have been reading a lot of books by this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Stoller

and up until his late book Sexual Excitement: Dynamics of Erotic Life he uses the word Hostility to mean "desire to hurt others" whereas aggression is the desire to make your mark in the world (e.g. it is "aggressive" to try to put the soccer ball in the other team's goal.)

By the time Excitement was written people started splitting the meaning of aggression to frame it as a bad thing (as Stoller said hostility was) and used assertion to describe the positive side of what Stoller called "aggression" and there is a short passage where Stoller talks about this change in terminology.

Stoller uses the terms "hostility" and "sadism" for phenomena that are more common than people might think. If you ever get some pleasure out of causing somebody to suffer, even in some small way (e.g. flag somebody's post and imagine them suffering from the feeling they are being persecuted) you are being "sadistic."

Funny thing that word "war"... By that definition US has never been at war with Russia/USSR yet a large part of last century was called "The Cold War". Kinetic war is not the only form of warfare.

Better to keep that option in you back pocket. As long as you are not NATO Russia has an interest not to provoke you because you could join NATO.
I think I remember "Westward Ho!", but I can't find anything that isn't the 1924 novel anymore. Do you have any more information about it?
I don't smoke cannabis nearly as much as I used to. When I was a daily user it didn't have any intellectual effects so much as emotional ones. I would have been baseline mildly depressed and weed made it so much worse. That's not going to be a surprise to any objective observer.

When I do have it today I make sure to seek out the weakest stuff I can. It's annoying that you might just have one option below 15%. Of course edibles are a far superior option in legal states. Easy dosage and no damage to your lungs. I'd also suspect that the milder (but longer) highs are easier on the brain.
The new iPhone SE looks like a really solid phone. The only thing it doesn't really have compared to the 13 is the better camera and the larger form factor / fancier screen tech. And weirdly there doesn't seem to be much in the Android world at that price point anymore.
The content needs major update to incorporate recent research on:

- Macro nutrients (protein, carbs, fat)
- Micro nutrients (vitamins and minerals, important if you do IF)
- Intermittent fasting (IF) / time restricted feeding (TRF)
- Strength training (including weighted calisthenics)
- Mobility exercises
- Sleep management
- Supplements
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to imply any "ought" here at all. I should've been more explicit. I thought my opening remark of "depressingly enough" was sufficient to note that I was lamenting the "is"ness of the situation, and don't "recommend" it (yikes!).
The Apple brand is invaluable. You literally can't attach a value to it.
But Soviet losses were incomparably bigger than Finland. Is this war the case?
> They're making Russia anti-fragile

> It can also trade with China to survive

These statements are at very much at odds with each other. They might be able to squeeze some money out of Europe now, but if the relationship isn't mended with blinding speed then Europe is going to move away from Russian energy permanently. This situation would turn Russia into a Chinese vassal state.
Simply appearing to be more open to diplomatic resolution is a huge win on the international stage - I can't say whether he's genuine in his openness to diplomacy but appearing to be more open keeps western support on his side. So, cynically, Zelensky will want to be seen to be open to negotiating whether he is or not - openness to negotiation is, itself, a negotiation tactic... it's like telling your manager that you got a job offer floated from Microsoft to head up a new division and then just saying "Well, I didn't say no".
This. I was hopeful that the linked article would explain how b-trees are practically used for indexes in DB engines. I already know what a db index is (databases 101 software eng) and why are they used, but would love a clear explanation of how are they implemented
It's not outdated. Many ideas there, like mixture models or hierarchical models are pretty timeless mathematical concepts.

A nice follow up is [1], which delves more into more technical inference aspects.

There are also follow up texts by the same authors [2,3].

Another approach to further learning is to implement your own library. My favorite implementation is [4], which is both advanced and easy to understand.

Why is it likely going to be on 5nm? 3nm has been in risk production for months now, which would line up with enough lead time for full production for normal Mac refreshes early fall.
Nothing. A Nuclear Bluff is just that, a Bluff. Putin can't win in a nuclear war and if he uses nukes anywhere, he is done for. No one is going to have anything to do with him or Russia on any level after that.
Getting less optimistic about an M2 Air
Yeah. I remember seeing WHO estimates that the world can support 8-12 billion with an expected peak around 11 billion. These figures use conventional agriculture and even assumes some advances. That's why I was wondering how many people we can sustainably support. I don't think I've ever heard of a report that looks at it that way.
This is why the first, possibly most important phase of a data analytics job is to filter down to the subset of the data that you actually need to compute the result.

Collecting it all on the front end can be very effective, as long as you can easily filter. If you can't, you are just causing yourself more problems.

I have no proof to offer, exceptthe report of a video I did watch myself. In 1974 a Dr made a study on animal protein and cancer. In mice test subject in a laboratory he found cancer cells in the mice needed animal protein as food to survive and grow. Versus plant protein as food which they did not grow. I have looked for this study to no avail. I am a vegan now. This is my only post here, as I only read. The ladies story compelled me to share whether it was received or not. I fully believe the government would never let a cure be known unless it was pills and expensive. Good luck. All cancer Dr's put you on a high protein diet of animal flesh. Maybe not all but it is recognized as a path forward.

Neither side would dare to nuke the other. You nuke Russia, it would spill to Poland, Czech, Rumania... With effects lasting many generations.

Same thing if Russia dares to fire a nuke. It is a mutually assured distraction.

Plus we are already having a climate change issue.

Another thing sets Steve Jobs apart that people almost always forget: he was a child out of place, to some extent.

He's the biological child of a Syrian muslim immigrant and an American of Armenian descent.

And then he's adopted into a sort of purely American life.

There's a whole lot of outsiderism to unpack there, and while he adored his adopted parents he seems to have struggled with his own fatherhood roles etc.

He was aloof and had a sort of paradoxical relationship with conformism -- he was consistent to his own personal design (the wardrobe full of identical outfits, the repeated leasing of the same kind of car) -- but rejected the conformism of others.

Really a lot of his manner -- including some of his more sociopathic traits -- could be explained by early disruption in life. He had quite a tough start.
This behaviour was a result of people transmitting "xhtml" as html back when people were obsessed with xhtml.
There is a cheesy movie from Tom Cruise, Minority Report, whomever takes those displays to market, finds a scalable profitable way to produce them, finds enough courage to resist status quo and find massive product market fit, will be the next Jobs or Musk. Idea wise, everything literally was on either Star Trek or on Star Wars previously.

> Supplying the Ukrainians with food, water and weapons is a good start.

Countries have been very public about doing this.

> Supplying them early warnings about troop movements from satellite imagery and cracked Russian communications would be a second, and it would be very deniable to boot.

They're pretty obviously doing this, Ukranian forces seem to have a lot of knowledge about Russian movements.

> And finally there are of course all sorts of black ops you can do in an active warzone

Something like 20k "volunteers" have gone to Ukraine to fight. Many of these people are likely not random couch surfers that decided to sign up.

I think the west is already doing almost everything you've outlined here. We just aren't in a position to know.
You are free to blur the lines all you want, but OP and everyone else here knows what the end game is and they're going to drift that direction regardless of what people like me say about the dangers of doing so.
The increased radiation is from kicking up dust around Chernobyl

Regardless of that it is incredibly stupid to do any kind of fighting around a nuclear plant.
Almost 100 comments as of me adding mine, and you're the first to mention journaling so I have to chime in. It's better than some therapy I've had. Therapy can of course be hugely helpful if/when you find a decent therapist, but writing things down really is the next best thing.

I haven't felt the need to do it in years, since I replaced it with a concise log which doesn't usually get bogged down in details. Mostly because I purged the majority of my worst freakouts into text files no one else is likely to read years ago. This wasn't the only thing that helped me, but it was at least half of it.
Pretty much. There is definitely no "formal guarantee", just a sound bite from a press conference:

You would need about 6kW of solar to fully cover that usage right? So about $15k-$20k over 20 years financed at 0% would be about $2-$2.75 a day.

If we could get a 6kW solar plus a 40kWh battery all packaged and installed with a 20 year life for $10k then we’re at $1.35 a day. I think we’ll get there in the next 10-15 years (inflation adjusted).

In this case you almost don’t need an electric grid for residential use — and actually it gets very hard to even support one once enough people transition. So it’s a radical departure from the current model.
As an aside, I'd be curious to see the effects of venting on the subject as well as people that surround them. I'd also be curious to see the effects during a one-time episode and through repeated exposure.

I say that, because one of the worst things about social media is the venting. It's almost like folks are trying to suck you into a weird codependent relationship with them.
I think the question is - is food being mobilized to Ukraine?

I am not trying to justify a hideous war, i am trying to demonstrate a point:

The threat of cutting off trade is an attempt to 'twist the arm' of a country. In this case its justified, cool. (Although some of them like banning Russian cat breeds, seem questionable)

But then why are posters above pretending that many countries, which signed up this IP regime under threat fo being cutoff from trade, didn't do that under duress?

It's nearly impossible to build or expand refineries in the US anymore due to environmental laws, real estate costs, and local opposition. And I can't really blame the NIMBYs: living next to a refinery sucks due to the air pollution, and risk of spills or fires.
I tried that. I already have an issue with people wanting to hire me on less senior roles than I'm used to functioning, with pretty poor results. hacking my resume in half only made that worse and only made me less attractive to the kinds of positions where they actually thought that background was a strength (the ones I really wanted)

I clarified the point on Stripe a little. FWIW: Stripe is a.o. the company behind Sorbet[1], the Ruby type checker. A great contribution to the Ruby ecosystem.

From your examples, I only know Coinbase, and presumed they are primarily a Golang and React company, seen from their job vacancies [2].

Instacart, FlexPort and Gusto I had to look up. They are, indeed large, but not on my radar, because they are primarily US focused and -based. Thanks for correcting me!

Prisoner's dilemma.

I see so many variations on that argument, but they all commit that fallacy.
The planned 25 bp rate raise is nothing compared to the official inflation numbers and it will be done instead of the previously expected 50 bp raise. And keep in mind that real inflation is probably higher and that it will accelerate even further with the new energy and commodity prices.

So it looks like we will see recession AND double digits inflation numbers.

After how this one went, it seems very unlikely they'd try again unless Ukraine was somehow disarmed first.

(Disarmament was one of the Russian asks during yesterday's negotiations. It was rejected ofc.)
We ignore all other deaths that happen all the time because they are not linked to Covid? They brush off heart disease like “we’re used to those”. What about the flu every year? Car accidents? It’s always been normal that lots of people die. It’s just a matter of category now
It's debatable. Iran and NK weren't as developed as Russia was. Sure, there are many alternatives to things such as payment providers, but regular Russians are basically cut off from many services they used to use until recently ( Netflix, YouTube) and can no longer but stuff they could before ( iPhones, computers, etc.). This will hurt drastically more the average Russian than the average North Korean who has never had the privilege to use any of those things ( if they've even heard of them). The damage to the Russian economy from sanctions is also enormous and it will take years to recover.
You cant be locked out of Bitcoin, but you can be locked out of centralized services and companies.
