> I am curious what makes people keep directing things at ordinary people in Russia. ... trying to shame ...

You know, as an Asian myself, I watched all the shit unfolded on Asian people because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I know what vigilante mobs can lead to. Russians who hated the war should suffer none of it.

However, it is important to notice the fact that most Russian supports the ongoing invasion effort (see 1). That means the "ordinary" people supports what Putin has done and they're looking for more.

You may now think "hey but that's all government propaganda". Well, an "ordinary" Russian who's not against the invasion might help or even join the invasion effort. Propaganda or not, the effect is real.

It's not about shaming, it's about providing the critical information needed before someone picked a side and locked themselves at that side.

If people ended up ashamed by this, then hey, their nation did this, maybe they Should feel ashamed.

> It’s not philosophical- side effect risk for men under 40 is non trivial and if you have had COVID you already have some immunity.

It's philosophical:

> The issues stem from [a lawsuit](https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/02... ) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida late last year alleging servicemembers’ rights are being infringed upon by the COVID vaccine mandate because their religious beliefs prevent them from taking the vaccine.

From that link in the quote:

> “Through much prayer and reflection, Plaintiffs have sought wisdom, understanding, and guidance on the proper decisions to make concerning these COVID-19 vaccines, and Plaintiffs have been convicted by the Holy Spirit that accepting any of the three currently available vaccines is against the teachings of Scripture and would be a sin,” according to a Florida lawsuit first filed in late 2021, then amended on Feb. 7 with additional plaintiffs.
Everything and immediately, is generally how it works.

I think Ukraine should demand more than returning to the pre-invasion state. I don't know exactly what, but it seems like they should shoot for some verifiable changes in Russia's government, laws, military, or the like, and tie them to milestones for sanction reduction. If nothing else, that might help anchor negotiations in Ukraine's direction.
It would be interesting to test how well any of us could spot these fakes if we weren't already on a web site priming us to look for them. How much of the skepticism is because you are on "alert" vs one's baseline levels of skepticism.
This sounds like they want their capital destroyed like Grozny. Ukraine got played by the US, which misled it that they will fight together against the Russians.
There's a viable alternative to this called "superdeterminism", but it makes everyone in the world except Sabine Hossenfelder unhappy if you bring it up because it's even worse than telling them they don't have free will.
I don't have a good read on the average Russian's opinion of Putin but I think a major risk here is these sanctions & pull outs having the opposite effect. If the main point of the effort is to drive a wedge between Putin and the people he really may be able to use this as a way to make it more of an "us" against "them" thing. Which then keeps him in power and he remains a risk for the world. Either way though it will likely work to depress their economy and make it more difficult for them to wage war on a larger scale that just takes a while to play out.

Everyone keeps talking WW3 but the more I think about it the less worried I become. I think the only real risk to that is if Putin literally is an irrational mad man. As in he is hell bent on destroying the west even if the price is his own country and maybe the world. This is possible but not that likely. When you follow that logic he also isn't likely to go after a NATO country and expand the war because he can't win and rational people want to win. It's entirely possible that the yes men he has built into the Kremlin told him this whole thing was going to be a cake walk because they were afraid to tell him otherwise and had no idea. He may want this to end as much as the next guy but now needs to save face and show something for the massive problems that he created.

Your post smells of gaslighting. I'll leave it to the reader to decide what they want. Keto has been the best of several diets that I've tried.

* It does decrease hunger relative to other diets (for me, possibly others)

* It doesn't have to just be steak and bacon. It's encouraged that people add in broccoli, celery, cauliflower, nuts, berries, and a variety of meats, not just steak, bacon and cheese

* It is much easier on your insulin levels than traditional diets

* It can include plenty of fiber

* Diets need to include psychology and account for it. A successful diet will not just be "calories-in/calories-out". Very few people have the will power to starve themselves to a successful weight. Almost all of the people I've met that said that never successfully lost weight or never had a weight problem to begin with.

* Don't talk down to people when clearly they have had success and have studied the topic.

I pick up my iPhone and look at it, and its unlocked. I'd be picking it up and looking at it anyway, so that's 0 steps as far as I'm concerned. I don't have to touch it in a particular place with one of a particular set of fingers. Surely as a UX professional you can see how it's at least arguably a much simpler UX?
It took a long time for me to accept that I'm not particularly attractive. After losing my hair starting at 13(All gone by 17), I used to spend hours crying. That's all I would do.

Then I found the incel community and saw how it is literally like some kind of corrosive parasite destroying the world like in a horror movie, and decided I want to be nothing like that.

Incels claim to be warlike and negative. But all their destruction is built on a fairly passive armchair mental pursuit: blackpill theory.

I never was one for a theory and philosophy guided life. The blackpill is false and outlawed, and there's tons of more important things than hooking up.

That is what I choose to print on my mental propaganda posters to myself. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. That's the beauty of propaganda.

True or false, the message is just as inspiring. This isn't a science project to understand the blackpill. It's a bombing raid to make it untrue.

That's what incels are missing. They care what is real and honest and natural, and reasonable.

They're only willing to fight if they think they can win, not just because that's their personality to keep shooting till your last breath.

If the blackpill is true and natural, better to live a lie than die at the end of a rope with a browser history full of eugenics forums.

These people are pushing the agenda that you should think of your female friends as worthless because you can't fuck them. They discuss "rotting" as their main activity. They are pro rape. They call women toilets.

I don't care what psychology and human nature is. If non-incels are all just brainwashed to reject the blackpill, I will help spread that brainwashing. Incel theory is too foul even to consider.

They cannot win. Or all of our art and music and science is all for nothing when there's nobody left to appreciate. It's literally the zombie virus for the mind.

Explanation 0: QM, unlike classical physics, says quantum effects are truly random and unpredictable and we can only know their probability distribution. (Or something like that.)

Explanation 1: The universe is not random and doesn't have cause and effect. All scientific experiments appear to work because the whole universe is actually a movie playing out where each new frame has been edited to produce the results we see, but for some reason the author decided to never violate QM.

Explanation 2: Unlike what QM predicts (true randomness) there's a finite amount of randomness added at the beginning of the universe, enough that our experiments appear to follow QM, but eventually if we looked hard enough there would be a predictable result with finite entropy. So it's actually regular determinism.

A few people claim #2 is true and doesn't imply #1. Everyone else thinks they're the same and doesn't like it for philosophical reasons.

I've been bothering myself with the same question. This rabbit hole in the wikipedia has led me to a dead-end explanation: those iron filings are pulled by virtual photons created by the magnet, those virtual photons are completely virtual and cannot be observed, except for the fact that they somehow pull the filings despite being virtual (this must be a small incursion of the purely mathematical world into reality). I've concluded that magnetism is an unexplained phenomenon, just like gravity: we have accurate formulas, but nobody knows what those formulas describe. For intuitive understanding, I see a magnet as a well, except that this well can be moved around and has two poles. Just like a regular well, things fall into it at no expense to the well, because the well isn't really a "thing" that pulls other things by force.

I come to HN to learn new things in fields I know little about, like tech and computers, I always find the comments to be authoritative and interesting.

However, whenever I read the comments on any subject I happen to know something about, like physics, they are always completely nonsense from people who clearly have absolutely not even the smallest amount of experience in the area they are talking about. The worst part is, all these comments sound extremely authoritative, if I didn't know any better I would have believed they were experts.

This makes me very worried about the Gell-Mann Amnesia affect. I'm very worried that all the comments I've been reading on here about tech and computer topics are also just from larpers who are pretending to be experts but actually don't know anything.

Let me know when you come up with that word, because the wiki page linked to doesn't describe companies not doing business with a country as "Cancel Culture".
Like many things, it depends. I think the pre-drilled thing was an artifact of relatively cheap money coupled to low oil prices. Some sort of underground contango hold. I remember this was a thing around 2015, when oil prices were below 50 dollars. The thing is, those wells were not ready to go, they needed to be completed (the process of perforating the casing to have contact with the formation) and fracked. I don’t know if we have a significant backlog of uncompleted wells anymore.

Wells vary much depending on the reservoir. For the most part, easy oil has already been tapped. There are still some places with low geological risk, in the Middle East, Venezuela, and such. A driller friend of mine in the Middle East was drilling a well a month, so there is that. This is why, every time there is a disruption, one hears discussion about OPEC’s spare capacity.

But even then, before the drilling actually happens, there needs to be a well design, and studies done on how better to drain a reservoir to maximize recovery. All that also takes time.

And all that assumes that these companies operate on fields that are already discovered. Fields have a production curve, the area under the curve is the recovered oil. They all, at the end, decline.

Doing a full field development can take decades after discovery, and discovery can take years too. From prospection, to seismic, to the drilling of wildcat and delimiting wells. Moreover, investment in exploration has declined, and more and more new discoveries are in remote places, needing great investments in infrastructure.

A potential stopgap could be the adoption of fracking in places like Europe, but it is banned over there. It baffles me. The simple exercise of calculating the enthalpy of combustion of methane vs carbon (coal) makes it incredibly obvious that natural gas is a much better fuel from a carbon emitting perspective, and this is without accounting for the efficiencies of combined cycle vs steam cycle.
These doesn't make any sense. I understand banking sanctions on oligarchs. Blocking regular .ru addresses is a really bad idea and smells of censorship and anti-democracy.

I'm confused about what this is supposed to achieve. The Budapest treaty already exists. It doesn't include most of Ukraine's neighbors, but Russia certainly signed it.

A simple answer to your conundrum could be how he manages his cadence and deals with pressure. Programming isn't especially difficult in my opinion. In many cases, sheer throughput seems to have a lot more to do with success than raw talent. Someone who was previously a chef might have a huge advantage in this regard, since working in a kitchen is a really demanding occupation. He probably has excellent training in dealing with pressure and time constraints. Perhaps being a programmer is even a relief compared to being a chef!
However, it's a lot easier to argue your case face to face. Perhaps it's because people are cooler within punching distance, but I think it's simply because they see the human being talking to them. Their imagination can't substitute you with a caricature of your side.
> For all you know the chips support dual HDMI

Sure, but I don't think any Apple Silicon Mac has dual HDMI. While I guess it's possible that they spent the money to design dual HDMI support in their own chips and then said "but now that we've done this, we can save twenty bucks by not actually making the physical ports," but doesn't it seem likely that they also saved the money by…not putting it on the chip?

> Do you think adding a second HDMI would increase the arbitrary price from $2k to $2k plus $20?

Do you think anyone contemplating buying a computer that starts at $2K is going to suddenly stop, slap their forehead, and scream, "To connect two HDMI monitors, I'm going to have to buy a $15 USB-C to HDMI cable instead of a $6 HDMI cable! That extra $9 blows my budget! CURSE YOU, TIM COOK!"

I mean, I get what you're saying, but this just seems like a weirdly tiny hill to die on. :)

I mean, how many engineering interviews is a big enterprise company running per month? 1000 feels like a comfortable lower bound.

Most of those would use this tool at least twice during their interview process.

So you're paying... $60k/2000 = a cost of $30 per interview. If you save your company half an hour of engineer time (at $60/hr, another comfortable lower bound) you have already made back the cost.

And that's just strictly cost reduction. If this is genuinely a better interview process, if you get more applicants and qualified candidates as a result of using the tool, of course the value of said tool is gonna be even higher.

I'm pulling numbers out of a hat, obviously, but I don't think any of this is at all unreasonable. And once you start putting it like this, I think you can start to see the justification for that kind of pricing.

Edit: well, just looking at their Enterprise pricing in a little more detail, they're pricing at 60k/200 = $300/interview, then $30/interview after that. That's... a lot steeper, and a lot less friendly to mid-tier companies. But hey, frankly, I can still see the justification for it -- if it's really good.
The refineries made a bet a few decades ago about what type of oil they'd be refining - the stuff from Venezuela, Canada and Russia - heavy sour.

This was advantageous for a while, but with fracking, there's an abundance of light sweet crude in the US... that the refineries aren't equipped to process. So, we export that oil.

Changing to light sweet crude is a significant investment to the point where switching over isn't economically viable.
