That's a pretty outdated view of him. I've seen him admit resveratrol was thematically the right idea, but admittedly not as revolutionary as hoped. Lately he's been more interested in sirtuins, NMN and the like as ways of dealing with the 4 yamanaka factors etc.

I highly recommend his youtube channel where he puts it into pretty easily consumable content

The US really isn't much better at it. Everyone in the world knew the US was lying about it.
It was not shelled, there was a small firefight involving a training building outside the reactor complex. Shelling means artillery. No artillery was involved.

You did not “see the reactor get shelled live.”
There was a saying in falling Germany in 1944: "each day our victories are closer to Germany than the previous day".

You can follow the bombings, for example: if Kyiv is being shelled (and reported in Russian media), it's not under Russian control. If the shelling last for days, the city is holding.

If some city was being shelled, but there are no more news about it, but the news are a nearby and further city is being shelled, the first city is probably under Russian control.

Following that kind of info, it seems the Russian invasion is crawling, and not running as intended. Russia is not doing much better (but not as bad as "reported" in Reddit, for instance).
I think that while anti-Russian sentiment was building to a frenzy in the US since the 2016 election, a lot of companies gradually untangled themselves from Russia or put it at arms length to avoid any extreme nationalistic outporing erupting into a serious PR problem.

The real panic would be about China. On the surface, it seems like they're getting a break from being painted as the evil force bent on destroying our heroes, but companies that are there can't give up being there. I look forward to the furious PR wave from industry trying to separate China from Russia, and the fake insider stories about how Chinese officials are worried about Russia's latest move. Just recently, Maduro got promoted to being president again*, so there's a lot to be gained while the US PR hate cannon is fully pointed at Russia.

The Ugly Truth About No-Fly Zones
If it’s subscription based software and you kick them out at the end of their subscription period it’s sort of legit.
Having energy independence is critical for a nation to control its own destiny.

Note that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor bringing the US into WW2 because the US cut off their oil supply. And note that Germany invaded the Soviet Union in order to ensure a supply of oil. Successfully blocking Germany's oil access was a crucial factor in winning WW2. Britain would have sank in WW2 if not for US shipments of gas to it.

Without gas, your military is kaput.

This ... I have a personal rule, I never interact with bots in a professional capacity (it's a sure fire strategy for demoting yourself to a cog in a machine), this includes slackbots etc. I would certainly not interact with a bot for a company I don't even have an business relationship with yet.

The author didn't assume the worst case, he just didn't set the timeframe. Every queue with random arrive times that has processors operating at 100% of their capacity is guaranteed to eventually grow indefinitely (as in, you can name any size, it will become larger than it).

But on practice you also can not maintain 100% workload indefinitely either.
I agree that a big part of the reason is that alternatives to routine flaring are economically wasteful.

I think that most people generally underappreciate the challenges associated with alternatives. Many alternatives require substantial infrastructure that will be under utilized to avoid flaring. If you have an oil drill in a remote location, there are huge material costs involved in either transporting the gas to a processing center, or converting it to liquid natural gas on site, and then transporting that (assuming there is a nearby market that will take it).

In your example of Mossmorran, I would really be interested in an analysis of the alternatives. I looked but couldn't find any. Would the plant need to be completely redesigned and rebuilt to avoid flaring? Maybe it is low hanging fruit and it could be avoided with some extra storage tanks. Maybe the nature of the flared gases are specialized would require the construction of a second plant to process.

Like I said above, I am sure there are some areas where alternatives are cost effective, or even mildly cost negative, but still should be implemented. On the other end of the spectrum, I am sure that there are cases where it would be more wasteful to capture the gas than shut down the wells entirely.
The question was about propaganda, which happens on both social media and traditional media.
Do you see anything about a signed agreement anywhere? All you have there is one sentence uttered by a British minister at a press conference, and for all you know, "military" assistance could mean exactly the same as for Ukraine: sending weapons.
Oops, I meant wikibooks and Wikipedia.

Wikibooks has a few things, but almost nothing seems actually complete and hardly anyone seems to work on in, compared to Wikipedia
It seems like the biggest and most present problem with marijuana is that most don't understand that smoking marijuana is just as bad as smoking cigarettes[0]. Of course, that's obvious - smoking anything, even herbal theater cigarettes, are extremely bad for your health[1]. However, after years and years of the pro-marijuana lobby claiming that marijuana has no negative side effects and can't kill you, it would make sense if teens today were confused by the logical contradictions.

Until we transition over to non-smoking marijuana consumption, I don't see an easy for the anti-marijuana lobby to make any claim about marijuana that the pro lobby wouldn't be able to refute by simply pointing to the smoke as the root problem. I agree that the reckoning will come but it will come in the form of anti-smoking ads (in favor of edibles or whatever else) rather than anti-marijuana ads.

Funny story I read this in 2015 and in the following years I completely changed my life. I came out, changed my relationships, moved, switched jobs, totally altered the pattern of my sleep and work, started eating differently, going to the grocery store with 'candy' on the list.

Every year since 2015 was the best year of my life so far. 2022 is shaping up to be an absolute delight.
I think another good move is help tank Russian economy faster, the faster it all implodes the more 'time' Russians have and more 'encouragement' to blame their leaders.

Examples of things you could do: Form a convoy and block access points to Coke, Starbucks, and McDonald's warehouses/convoys in your country as a protest - continue this until they pull out of Russia. This will cause a lot of lost jobs, wages, and lost business for Russia. Rinse and repeat until every western business has left.

Work on ways to move Chinese businesses (as many support Russia) over here or to EU countries, not the business itself but the industry or product that is needed or shipped from Asia, i.e. help find ways to end our dependency on autocratic societies.

They want to support each other then we need to block them, and make it hurt for anybody else who does.

Quite frankly, almost all psychological experiments are nonsense. After the replication crisis and other things (e.g. p-hacking) I simply can't be bothered to take the field seriously. I am beyond mad at the intellectual dishonesty many sciences have committed, social psychology in particular. I couldn't care less if it's an emergent failing of science. First principles were not followed, too few people cared, I can't ever trust the fields again that took part in this.

I'll stick to forms of science that actually know something worthwhile. And when I need to intuit anything about human behavior, then I know that I am on my own.

With that said, here's my criteria for a study I'm willing to take seriously:

* n = 10000

* The effect size is big

* It's measured in at least on western, one eastern and one other culture

* It's independently reproduced by at least 2 other independent universities/research institutes

There are probably another few things, but I think you get the spirit.
I love this! My only complaint is that it allows any word, so someone could just type the alphabet, in order (minus Z), for the first five guesses and then most of the time have a good guess at the word in their 6th guess.

I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know.
Correct, with a side dish of cynical disgust.

At least Sweden's potential membership is less complicated than Turkey or Ukraine. People got real nervous with Erdogan and while Ukraine may be a democratic country, it's also not a wealthy, liberal country. Internal EU and NATO relations are going to look very different after this.

The AMD Branch (Mis)Predictor Part 2: Where No CPU Has Gone Before
>Let me briefly introduce how our log server works: In the CM4all hosting environment, all web servers (running our custom open source HTTP server) send UDP multicast datagrams with metadata about each HTTP request. These are received by the log servers running Pond, our custom open source in-memory database. A nightly job splits all access logs of the previous day into one per hosted web site, each compressed with zlib.

Via HTTP, all access logs of a month can be downloaded as a single .gz file. Using a trick (which involves Z_SYNC_FLUSH), we can just concatenate all gzipped daily log files without having to decompress and recompress them, which means this HTTP request consumes nearly no CPU. Memory bandwidth is saved by employing the splice() system call to feed data directly from the hard disk into the HTTP connection, without passing the kernel/userspace boundary (“zero-copy”).

Windows users can’t handle .gz files, but everybody can extract ZIP files. A ZIP file is just a container for .gz files, so we could use the same method to generate ZIP files on-the-fly; all we needed to do was send a ZIP header first, then concatenate all .gz file contents as usual, followed by the central directory (another kind of header).

Just want to say, these people are running a pretty impressive operation. Very thoroughly engineered system they have there.
Due to the invasion. However, Russia legalized software piracy recently. If the war and sanctions ended tomorrow, what would big tech do in response to such a law?

I saw a claim from a Canadian vet in Kyiv that 40,000 foreign fighters were already in Kyiv. The Canadian was part of a 500-man exclusively Canadian urban battalion. There was also a report on BBC that Russia had summoned foreign ambassadors in Moscow to complain about foreign volunteers traveling to Ukraine to fight against Russia [1].

I've also been on Telegram channels helping American vets organize, fund their flights to Poland, equip, and then drive them to the Ukrainian border.

These are highly motivated well equipped men - many are veterans. Assuming these data points are accurate, then Russia's odds of victory are going down by the day as more western men and supplies enter Ukraine each day than Russian men and supplies.

Discord also appears to be down.
The Biden administration has opposed a "no-fly" zone because shooting down Russian planes in Ukraine could lead to a nuclear war. Putin may be in a desperate situation, but Russia is not. Nothing but pride is stopping it from leaving Ukraine tomorrow. No one wants nuclear war, but what red lines do you allow Russia to draw? What if it said that sending arms to Ukraine justified a nuclear strike?
I wonder if some corrupt Russian general stands to make a lot of money from this type of bet
Saving face matters a lot for dictators, who often lose power if they embarrass their countries. For Putin this is now a matter of personal survival. He will do whatever it takes to avoid an outcome that makes him look weak to the Russian public -- he clearly doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks of him at this point.

> a free trade deal is actually normally about states aggreeing to not stop or impede their citizens from trading with each other, which I think flips it back to being a coercive relationship

Coercion requires a threat to an actor's rights. In the case of nations, these rights can probably be summarized as territorial integrity and political independence. While there are powerful incentives to cooperate, these incentives aren't coercive as they don't intrude upon territory or political independence (including the ability to decide with whom and under which terms one trades).

I think it's a fine thing to criticize the western legal framework of IP and you can argue that the west shouldn't export this legal framework; however, I don't think there's any philosophically consistent way to argue that the export mechanism (mutually beneficial agreements, basically) is "coercive" except perhaps to indict any kind of mutually beneficial agreement.
Holy shit they're going to have to migrate again, that's mildly hilarious considering the clusterfuck the first migration was.
Not what you're asking about, but I'd classify the filtering for what people want to hear as propaganda. Why is so much of the news I see about Ukrainian battle victories while Russians are clearly advancing on multiple fronts? There could easily be more coverage of Russian victories than Ukrainian if we were shown a random sample of phone footage.

I'm not complaining - these things have a tangible effect on morale. But it is propaganda.
Ask HN: Namecheap is refusing to halt a novel phishing scam. Please Help
There is a relatively clever phishing scam that's active right now where the site only shows the phishing scam when it's visited by a smart phone. Visiting it from a regular desktop browser redirects to some other service. (can still be seen using dev tools)

A cursory investigation showed that Namecheap is providing both registrar and hosting services for this phishing site. I reported the offending site to namecheap but they have refused to act, likely because they haven't been able to trigger the scam.

What should I do? How do I get the attention of the security team at namecheap?

Since this is a throwaway account, I'm afraid I might trigger some spam protection if I share this url in the OP. I'll share it in the comments once this post gets some engagement.

IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO. I only managed to stop one of my family members from falling victem to this scam by accident. I'm sure many have not been as lucky.

Thank you.

Their condescending, sarcastic response implied (somewhat ambiguously) that it was too small and insignificant an effort and therefore not worth doing. They didn’t make a meaningful argument why. They further glossed over any knock on effects, such as what the caller might learn about the callees viewpoints and situation.

Sometimes action driven by good intent that does not lead to a desired outcome can serve as a precursor to more effective action. While I too think this is probably not a good idea, i do also wonder if it is so meaningless, why does Russian government need to suppress information, news, and discussion among their citizens in the first place?
Exactly this. The US could make iPhones too, but we import them. Unfortunately we don't have a "strategic iPhone manufacturing reserve", so we have to keep it cool with China.
While almost everyone in China who can get out of the country is essentially "laundering" money by attempting to evade the ridiculous currency controls? The Russians arguably have more faith in the Yuan than the wealthy Chinese at this point, which is, well, I don't know what the adjective to use here but a mixture of funny and sad and wtf and irony and inevitable all rolled into one.

I'm not fully convinced that Epic believes in locally stored music. Yes, Bandcamp is one of the last bastions of that, but Bandcamp is so laissez-faire I just can't see a megacorp like Epic tolerating DRM-free music sales (or even free hosting of free music, as I've used Bandcamp for) forever. Historically big business is antagonistic towards the DRM-free movement.

TBF, Epic hasn't really done anything to antagonize the DRM-free movement (and open-sourcing UE4 was a huge PR win for them), but neither have I seen them really go out of their way to support it the way, say, CD Projekt did with GOG, a store that at least at one time (and maybe still) exclusively sold DRM-free games.

I'm more inclined to read the Bandcamp acquisition as Epic's hipper eventual answer to iTunes, given their spat with Apple doesn't seem fully over. But I guess we'll see. I will admit I'm taking the news of the acquisition with more cynicism than is strictly warranted based on the observable facts.
New iPad Air: M1 CPU, 5G connectivity.
In my circles, Opera was dead when Presto was killed. I don't know anyone who uses Opera today, except an apprentice we had for three months last year.

In theory, it should just have been a change under the hood - use a different browser engine. But it seems that part is way more interlocked with the overall UX of the whole browser. 90% of features were missing after the switch, and while many were reimplemented later, whenever I checked it out again it was just different. I stuck with Opera 12 for so long it wasn't even funny anymore, more and more pages broke every day, but eventually, slowly I got used to Firefox. Which really took a loooooong time, since I tried a lot of extensions and tweaks to make it feel right. Weird how strongly you can get attached to a browser and its UX. I think even switching from Windows to Linux wasn't that tough.
Best approach: Don't hire people like that.

Good approach: Specify that complaints be non-specific to a person on the team.
The iPhone 14 mini doesn’t exist so I’m not sure how it can be “going away”. As for the 13 mini, where’s your source that says it’s being discontinued as opposed to the ‘mini’ line just simply not continuing after the 13’s lifespan?
If we get really desperate, expanded drilling off the coast of California along with building another refinery near Santa Barbara could also be part of the solution. Of course many of us in California would oppose this, for understandable reasons.
They have no choice without liquidity you can’t pay your employees and you can’t offer paid services. At the moment Russian YouTube is ad free because google wants to keep it open for information purposes but they don’t make any money from it. For other services like McDonalds this is just not feasible. McDonalds and Coke kept their stores and production longer open because they had to get rid of their perishable goods.
Still with the power plant? There was a live YouTube stream of Oleg from Vladivostok shelling at whatever. Do you think the guy making $50 a month to die for Putin knows what the hell he is shooting at?

This doesn't mean that the idea itself is a bad one, or that it will never succeed. Saturn isn't the only brand to try this -- Scion did as well.

Tesla has a few major advantages. First, they aren't tied to a dealership network. Second, since they sell online, they can dynamically change pricing with demand, something Saturn and Scion couldn't really figure out.

Cession of eastern territories and Crimea is probably not going to be too difficult a decision, considering Russia controls them anyways and did so even before the war.

Demilitarization of Ukraine, NATO membership and relations with the west in general are all going to be very contentious, and it's hard to see a solution here that both sides will accept.
