Well, what other actions than sanctions are you proposing then, as a deterrence against starting wars? There are not so many alternatives, especially not peaceful ones. Non-peaceful ones are very dangerous for everyone.

It is sad, that sanctions are difficult to tailor in such a way, that they hit Putin and his gang exclusively. Their wealth is entangled with the wealth of the whole country. Of course it would be great to have severe sanctions only targetting him and his gang. If you have any bright ideas on how to do that, you should definitely voice them. Partly this is done by seizing assets of the gang outside of Russia. Those are luxury goods like yachts and properties.

Meanwhile Europe and the US try to make Putin unpopular inside Russia as well, so that the people find a way to get rid of him or overturn his course of action and end the war. They are loudly making it clear, that they regret, that Russians not associated with the war, will face consequences of their government acting this way. They are making it clear, that the sanctions are directed against the Russian dictator and his gang.

Before the invasion started, people in Russia probably knew about military being positioned at the Ukraine border. One has to ask, why the people in Russia did not show more resistance to Putin flexing "his muscles". But perhaps many years of working to make people in Russia itself afraid of going out to the streets and protesting played a major part in this. Or that they also might have thought, that he would not be mad enough to actually start an invasion. On the other hand he did already in 2014. It is difficult or impossible to pinpoint single a moment, when Russian people should have risen and rejected Putin's actions, except for saying "at every single point along the way". I guess it is a good lecture to all people in countries not governed by such a person to look out for signs and put up resistance as early as possible. "Nip it in the bud!" I guess. But here we are and the situation has come this far.

> Can't we pause and look at criminal actions and all agree they are illegitimate? Why do we need to take the Western governments side as if our side was more legitimate?

Surely it would be great, if we could. Tell the Russian army in Ukraine to stop their crimes and talk about it. And surely Western governments are not without fault. Surely not the US. However, merely stating, that Putin's and his army's actions are crimes will not deter them from doing anything, unfortunately. I also wish it was different and that Russian people would not have to suffer for their "leader"'s actions.
We have an EPA. China doesn't. It's easier to build these things in places where people are too poor to care about the environment or don't get to (because their governments don't) care about the environment.
We smoke less than earlier generations, actually.
Are you aware the US is facilitating the ongoing war in Yemen?

It’s all about strategic interests. The US commits war crimes when it suits our agenda…just like the Russians. It’s kind of scary how much power the USG has over the world. We’ll destroy the economies of our adversaries with almost ZERO resistance. Using the term “whataboutism” doesn’t make OPs argument untrue.

Nobody in the US actually gives a shit about the Ukraine. It’s purely a strategic interest. We’re using the country as a pawn in our global political game. It’s fucked.

If we really cared about war crimes we wouldn’t constantly commit them. Why aren’t US citizens outraged by the horrific warfare that occurs on a daily basis in our world?
Your summary missed a critical piece, which is that it is just for adolescents.

I don't think, even within the marijuana community, that there is any debate that marijuana use in adolescents is harmful. I regularly see /r/trees comments telling teens to stop until they're at least 18 and their brain finishes developing.
My iPhone SE 2020 is either hacked or it just cant handle running the latest iOS(it stumbles and stutters on various click actions). Also, the battery life is awful!. I am semi-excited about getting the SE 3 as it's the only phone with Touch ID and for me I think that's the best and safest unlocking UX especially if you ever need to open your phone in the car. Just grab it and its open ...one step vs. grab it..look at it and swipe up.
If Russia can get them to give up NATO and EU ambitions, and get them to start supplying water to Crimea, they can sit back and wait until they can claim Ukraine by other means (as they already tried once, and as Belarus has gone). Conceding on that, at this point, is just delaying the Russian takeover somewhat. If Russia can't get that out of them, I expect them to demand such large territorial concessions that what's left will have, at best, 1/2 the GDP it used to (not even counting damage from the war). That diminished state will go on to head toward EU and/or NATO membership, but it won't represent the kind of relief valve from European dependence on Russia that a free and prosperous united Ukraine might (which is a big part of why Russia wants to carve them up or conquer them to begin with).
I'm not sure David Petraeus is an impartial source regarding the Iraq war, but even in that interview he avoids the claim that the majority of the Iraqi population supported the US invasion. Instead, he says that supporters of the insurgency are in the minority (you can dislike the invasion and occupation of your country by the US without supporting the Sunni insurgency or the Shia militia) and that "many millions" supported the coalition (how many?).

I'm not just posting this to be pedantic - there are strong comparisons between the US attitude that we would be welcomed as liberators in Iraq and the Russian attitude about Ukraine.
>> > A global solution, by necessity, has to ignore local conditions.

>> That's just flat wrong. A global solution can solve global concerns and also allow for local conditions.

So lets rephrase that. A global solution that ignores local conditions will have problems and will likely fail.
This has been happening for like 50 years now. I really hope you form a workers movement out of this.
That sounds great, till the union dissolves and nukes start being divided up amongst a dozen Russian "oligarch" mini states and all the corruption that will ensue. Either that or the nukes and tanks start flying out of Russia in retaliation. I honestly don't see how the west thinks this will go well, unless that's what they want.
yes, you can. i don't know if people here are too young to remember before Steve Jobs return, Apple was in the gutter. Steve had to make a deal with Microsoft to inject money into Apple. no one stand at the top forever. if it happened before it will happen again.
It is called "the NATO bombing" but not all NATO members participated. NATO's involvement was based around Article 4 which only says the member states can "consult together." This implies that it was more of a United States + select allies bombing than a NATO bombing, because the US did most of it, and got other countries to participate through means that existed independently of NATO.

Why, then, would it be called the NATO bombing? Probably because A. it distances it from entities that American voters are familiar with, (compare "Bill Clinton's bombing") and B. it creates a smokescreen of weird international law issues.

I just checked and you can access Russian state media, so have at it please https://ria.ru - I don't speak Russian but from my research this is state owned media, please if others know better can we prove that if you really want to read Russia propaganda it is still possible, you just need a bit more effort then opening FB or twiiter or your TV

And this is why I refuse to give up on owning media and relying on streaming. Discord seems to be gone, as well.
It may or may not. 1% has lots of resources (legal, political and media) to protect their assets.

Congress Gives Final Approval to Make Lynching a Hate Crime
If anything, I find this forum - perhaps by way of overcompensation - fetishizes luck and privilege (very fashionable concept) to an alarming degree. Name a biography of a notable person, whose primary theme is how lucky that person was and how they just lucked into everything. Forrest Gump doesn't count (and would still be a bad example - if I had his tenacity and stamina I'd be rich too). I get that biographies are narratives. So are luck and privilege. Everything is a narrative these days. Might as well pick one that gives you more agency.
Read my subsequent response. The point isn’t solely that it’s insignificant, it’s actively counter productive.

How many Americans would have responded well to unsolicited calls in 2003 from Iranians saying the Iraq war was misguided?

The condescension was in response to the assertion that not making said calls was equivalent to letting Ukrainians die, which is ridiculous.
I'm using VSCodium not only for the labels and buttons, but also for its code editing capabilities. In development mode, you get features such as code navigation and code completion. My rational is the following: storage is cheap, and the resource usage is only relevant when the UI is shown. The tray icon and the background service are implemented in C++ and are very lightweight.

The study addresses this. If the objects can maintain their observed performance in space, then they could reach relativistic speeds so quickly that shipboard transit time between here and Alpha Centauri would be in the range of days to weeks.

Google is coming from ~last place on enterprise+gov security relative to Microsoft and Amazon, which is maybe 75% of the market (and ignoring the Splunks of the world), and the ability to grow there requires real skills in services. Mandiant, in turn, is in a league of their own here, in brand if not practice. More about amazing IR/hunt/etc, vs say SIEM configuration, so a lot of line blurring & potential skillset clash for achieving their value, but still. Google+MS internal security teams are likewise trusted, but only Microsoft's are considered collaborative, so Google's are ~useless from a services gap perspective. So from a strategic view, this jumps them from last place to ~first. (And Microsoft's main value in buying would have been just to prevent AWS/Google from doing so.)

So as long as they have amazing handcuffs on the CEO, it's probably more like $1M per employee and $100M+ for the CEO (if real handcuffs) + brand.

An independent Mandiant is amazing for the ecosystem, but so goes. Over all though, probably still net win for folks involved + community - Google getting even more serious here is great!
That's the point. The iPhone 6 was revolutionary at the time, and not everyone wants to use Face ID.
Amusingly, I initially thought this was deep learning related, where if you augment your training set by adding white noise to each sample, then your trained NN will be more robust.
Same thing as before, marketing and making purchase easier than piracy.

It's not like the Russian government went after pirates much, despite having the laws in place.
They get sued.

This happened with the SRT Viper. Dodge overestimated prices in the first year of new model production, so they dropped MSRP by like 15k the next year. Owners sued successfully to get $15k back.

Now these $80k cars are selling for ~$150-250k. People who purchase Vipers made out like bandits.

Have the problems the last couple of weeks been tied directly to the Russia/Ukraine war?
The rollback they did in 2020 is ridiculous.

My kids school lunch now is all packaged sugary crap. Corndogs, cinnamon buns for breakfast, Trix yogurt, etc. Even the milk is gross - lowest bidder swill that tastes like wax.

The hot food items are all oven-baked, in plastic wrappers. It’s essentially the same crap that you would see in a university vending machine.
And how much do they pay to extract the oil from public lands?

This is very relevant because of this new thing that just happened. There was an auction for rights to install an off-shore wind farm. The final price was $4.3 billion. This tells you the value of green energy: it's so valuable that you could convince investors and banks to pony up the money.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/25/us-offshore-wind-auction-in-...

So what are the auction prices for oil extraction?

Yes technically the Kafka matter is a secondary to the author's main point, which is understanding each problem first. So yeah I would not waltz in and say, "Oh, no need for details, obviously you need to standardize on RabbitMQ not Kafka," without a second thought, even though it's likely that's roughly where we're gonna end up.

But even then, I am not going to write a custom library when the drivers for either product are perfectly adequate. Standardization works best when standards are flexible, and trying to force my homemade library on every team is inflexible (usually it's just arrogance).
Apple introduces the most powerful and versatile iPad Air ever
I’m sure his interests are in ending a war that’s costing civilian lives. If the expectation is that Russia will increase the severity of their fight, you cannot keep fighting at all cost. I fully think Ukraine can outlast Putin, but at what cost?

Like he said to NATO in regards to the no-fly zone “How many civilians need to die? Give me a number, I’ll start counting.”

Similarly here; how many civilians are Crimea and the two eastern provinces worth? If you have a number we’ll start counting. We’ll get there before Putin falls.
> I would say perhaps he was better at pivoting failures early

Right. Good at deciding, throwing weight behind even a wild and dramatic choice (like his sort of pirate-captain-and-pirate-crew with the original Mac team) and committing.

And then unusually brave at cutting losses or finding a new use for failures. He cut a hell of a lot of losses when he returned to Apple.

But in interviews he was also sort of a student-philosopher of decision-making. Witness the clip on this page, with Jobs talking about being taught about not interfering with brand design (in this case the NeXT brand) by Paul Rand:

https://www.logodesignlove.com/next-logo-paul-rand

You can see that made an impression on him and probably got absorbed into his sort of precision-anecdote-driven way of communicating his ideas.

(The other thing I like about this clip is seeing Jobs talking quite personally about someone he admires)

> Reminder that the goal is hinderance of aggression by the Russian government, not punishment of the Russian people.

Is it? Or is the goal to turn the people of Russia against the Russian government for putting them into this position, perhaps even triggering regime change.
Back to the drawing board for Intel.
Information from either side is to be taken with a grain of salt, although Ukraine is winning the social media ops-game hands down.

I think since after the 1st week of troop movements it's pretty clear:

- Russia aims at encircling cities, draining the resistance there, forcing them into negotiations and so that enemy combatants can evacuate into western Ukraine (like they did in Syria)

- Ukraine aims at short-term luring them into cities (e.g. preventing humanitarian corridors, creating negative pr) and long-term building up an insurgency (turning Ukraine into Russia's 2nd Afghanistan).

A recipe for humanitarian disaster.

The upside: Russia doesn't seem intent to even set foot in western Ukraine.
There's no way to protect the environment but by making a new refinery take ten years?
Oil isn't a uniform thing - it's closer to marble than limestone. People import tuscan marble all the time due to the grain and qualities of the piece itself - it's quite the same with oil - not every barrel was created the same and America has some processing facilities specialized to consume a quality of oil not found domestically in large volume.
Belarus may be at a higher risk here, the local army is weak and the political opposition was quite strong last election.
They're really going out of the way to avoid an M1X nomenclature. And I suppose this design isn't yet incrementation worthy, for an M2.
1. It's not that hard.

2. Updates are way overhyped.

Same for industrial seed oils. We know it's dangerous.

But monied interests and some vegetarians who think all things that come from plants must be good for you, prevent this from being shoved into near all packaged foods.
> The west can do for the Ukrainians what Pakistan has been doing for decades for the Taliban: provide safe havens, supplies and weapons to small insurgent groups doing guerilla strikes against the Russians.

This would be a great tactic to reduce Ukraine to a pile of smoking rubble over a couple of decades of war. I'm not sure that's a great outcome for Ukrainians.

Also as a Canadian I'm a little baffled why we should be prioritizing building pipelines that run north to south to export our oil when we can run pipelines east to west to supply our own people and export on our own shores.

-At that point, of course, they'd meet resistance from Russian forces which suddenly _have_ a good reason to fight, likely also being supported by a population which will not be thrilled at a bunch of mercenaries having a go at their homeland.

Kicking a poorly motivated invasion force out of the Ukraine is one thing.

Wreaking havoc in Russia? Quite another.

Now, Belarus, on the other hand, I could see toppling over in such a way (unless propped up by Russia)

I think you can look at the maps that major establishment newspapers publish and see that the Russians are making significant land headway in many parts of the country. Each day they grind a little bit more, to the point where kyiv is facing two distinct military axes.

however, I don't think the western press is missing any deep details about russian fighting. The fight for Kyiv may end up looking like a reverse Stalingrad.
It's not very advisable, but if anything, this crisis is showing that's not advisable to rely on any other country at all for your crucial infrastructure... if we go back to isolationism, one of the main deterrents to international conflicts, interdependence, will be weakened, which can't be good for peace in the coming decades.
Individual cases do not invalidate statistical trends...
I don't think the number of brands on offer has any effect on our relationship with booze. It doesn't matter how many brand of yellow mustard are on the shelf, I'm buying it at the same rate. Where I live now, very few super markets have beer/wine and none have spirits. I know I buy less booze now than I did when I lived in places where you could get beer pretty much anywhere, at gas stations, super markets, convenience stores, etc., and it's probably for this reason.
No party in Iraq "supported" the US. There were various opportunists with different priorities.

The pace at which apple is pumping out new silicon is astounding. It’s hard to imagine anyone competing with them pound for pound, especially in the flops per watt game. I still can’t get over the fanless MacBook pros and the battery life.

I actually hope somebody is challenged enough by this to really push for competition as this level of performance asymmetry will ultimately result in further pricing asymmetry as competition breaks down.
Probably not at all. I doubt there will be any will to invade Russia. Crimea and Donbas would be hard enough.
