>About a billion of these "deluded tankies" live in China.

Yup. Although generally I reserve the term for those that come online to spout the propaganda. I suppose most are doing that within the sinosphere part of the internet.

>Formal recognitions aside, but if you go anywhere from the Russian extreme left (e.g. Gorbachev) to the Russian extreme right (e.g. Solzhenitsyn), there's one thing they agree upon: they all think Ukraine is historically tied to Russia. Like it or not, there is a wide consensus in Russia with regards to that.

>It has served Russian policy since the 90's to have Ukraine and Belarus as independent states, since 3 votes in the UN are better than one.

100% agree. I think the real reason Russia is doing this is because they see Ukraine as part of their sphere of influence and Ukrainians taking another path is unacceptable. For Russian leadership, its a case of exerting leverage and control on the states that have been "traditionally" under their thumb, this dates back through the communist era to Imperial Russia and even before in some cases. Its a very old and deep rooted notion.

For the average Russian I wouldn't be surprised if state media have convinced them of the average Ukrainian supporting Russia's invasion, as their outside propaganda claims.

I actually see a lot of parallels between this and how the US has handled stuff in its own backyard. There is a history of the US supporting tin pot dictators simply because the dictator was willing to play ball and the people of the nation overthrowing them. And then there's the banana wars.

I'd like to think we've grown out of that. But that's probably not the case. There is definitely still some intervention in central and south America mostly as part of the war on drugs, but that's not to the same degree as in the past .
> I don't have allegiance to either company mostly because they don't care about me, just my money.

This criticism is something that is a positive to me. Opposing companies are often dependant on adverting money and the things this leads to are a whole lot worse in my view.

> The tweet is from Neil Cybart and WSJ. You may know him as one of the more accurate Apple analysts.

I think it's a good idea not to look at Twitter OR Apple analysts to help understand the Ukraine situation. Twitter is a perfect place to get breaking news, hot takes, and memes. Apple analysts may be very intelligent people. But, I want to wait for longer, more meticulous writing by people on the ground, or people with a deep background in the domain, and a long time to think about it.
The Chinese ad didn't mention bioweapons, Newsweek did. Trying to discredit a real fact (the US has biolabs in ukraine) by attacking a strawman (they didn't have bioweapons there! It'sall fake news!) is what's Newsweek is trying to do. There is a motte and Bailey here but it's not coming from the russians in this case, as opposed to what you are saying.
40 Years of Failure: IRS Unable to Fix Computer System
> During this war there has not been legitimate danger of nuclear accidents

By all accounts, the Russian forces fired missiles at the Zaporizhzhia power plant, and there was a fire on site. I too was somewhat dismissive of the "omg Chernobyl 2.0" rhetoric. It's a PWR, much newer design, quite like most Western PWR designs, with containment, and a lot more passive safety features than something like the RBMKs at Chernobyl. The likely outcome of a missile hitting the containment building itself is a wasted missile, and something hitting the cooling or support facilities would lead most likely to a power cut, not a meltdown, and even if there was a meltdown, it would likely be largely contained.

Still. I do think it's fair to say that firing missiles and causing explosions and/or fires at an operating nuclear power plant has some degree of very real risk of causing a nuclear accident.
It is an unequal time investment. I have had multiple take homes where I got ghosted afterwords.

My company has sort of been doing this, and I (engineer) have been trying to get us to stop. We do have a couple of open slots, but we're doing intake for much much more than we need.

I can offer this bit of perspective on the practice, without justifying it because I do think it's bad. We (again, engineers) spent a long time pushing for hiring to move away from the desperate search because we need someone immediately model to keep our lanes open for whenever someone awesome is looking for a job. Management finally bought into the idea...kinda. Basically, what we're doing is the mixed up interpretation of a that idea, after it passed through the bureaucracy. Instead of keeping just a line open, we're still trawling with big nets, scooping up way too many resumes and letting those people down.

The root of the problem as far as I can see is that screening is atrocious. The people at the front end of the process, the actual recruiters, have no idea what we are looking for, and the output may as well be random. I still don't know how to fix it. :/

You are trying to twist facts into narrative that you are comfortable with.

NATO already made it clear Ukraine has no future and Zelensky is set to negotiate on Donbass today.

Emotion clouds your assessment of reality. I get you are upset but engaging me in an endless circular argument because you can't accept Zelensky's own words is not going to change the situation.

Sure, go ahead and accuse me of being a pro-Russian troll, for literally saying facts, that NATO will not allow Ukraine in.
> And most people still to this day think either China miscalculated it, or China's official stance is somewhat unclear. ( Paul Graham )

I was actually surprised China didn’t vote against the UN Resolution by the Generally Assembly condemning Russia’s violation of the UN Charter by the use of force and violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Though China was 1 of 35 Countries to abstain on the vote, the fact that they didn’t vote against the UN Resolution with Russia and 5 other Countries speaks loudly and volumes about China’s political unwillingness to support Russia’s acts in contravention of the UN Charter.

Furthermore, China did not support Russia in a similar Resolution before the UN Security Council leaving Russia as the sole permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power to vote against the Resolution.

If anything it looks like China’s lack of political will to expressly support Russia in the UN General Assembly and Security Council seems to have legitimately surprised Russia. However, it is very difficult to discern whether China miscalculated the response of the international community or they simply played Russia by riding both sides of the fence until push came to shove. My guess is the later as I’m sure Russia was cautiously optimistic about China’s support while simultaneously aware of the likelihood they could not count of China, and I would go so far as to say the odds are Russia even has military contingency plans in place in the instance China becomes opportunistic with respect to their own boarder disputes with Russia during the chaos.

Yes, the strong evidence is an ongoing 70-year-old trend of US trained military leaders plotting coups.

> I'd imagine effective military training may be helpful to a coup plotter's success

I suggest you read the article that I and the link pointed to. It actually says the reverse. Students of US military training programs are more likely to attempt coups, but less likely to succeed at their attempt. Indeed, the probability of a coup attempt roughly doubles, while the probability of a successful coup is only increased by 50%. So clearly, your hypothesis is incorrect. The increased propensity of coups cannot be explained by increased competence leading to more success.

Usbmon is enough To rule out the kernel in vast majority of instances. That is the subject of this thread.

What pilots do can be automated. I mean, it's not easy, but then again, planes nowadays can land themselves by themselves. As the automation gets better, you need pilots more and more just for emergencies, and maybe if you only use pilots for those cases, then a) your pilots don't gain the experience they need to be useful in emergencies, and b) you under-utilize them. And maybe that means you can't really automate pilots after all. But still, what pilots do is very machine-like.

What devs and mgrs do is less machine-like, and it follows that what works for "making sure you have pilots who can fly" doesn't quite translate to "making sure that you have managers who can manage".

IMHO the first half of the article could have been written better, to bring the reader up to date with the terminology. But since the meat of the article is in the second half, and since that part is written well, it at least helps the target audience (tech enthusiasts) identify with, and understand the technology better.

This seems to be the kind of slide made by someone without a lot of experience presenting work.

The other issue is, some people really, really, don't want to speculate.

In this case it seems that the person who made the slide probably assumed that the tile could be broken with a high enough probility. But because it was outside all available data, the slide says that we don't really know.

Of course, anybody in a position to make such a go-no-go decision should have enough experience talking to engineers, and seeing this effect in action to recognize the slide for what it is. It is really weird to conclude that based on absence of data, it is probably safe.
I'm surprised this doesn't work since you could easily externalize this to a function:

}

>>> The poor basically only pay payroll taxes.

And sales tax and use tax.

Capital gains are assessed when recognized, not like a yearly schedule so rich can defer this and choose when to recognize it. Will certainly take many fun 'business' trips that year to offset.

Remove payroll taxes (which support collection of income tax) and employee take-home pay increases. Employers can stop hassles of the withholding accounting. Employees can stop hassles of yearly income tax filing to IRS.

There would be a temporary increase of unemployed payroll tax bookkeepers and storefront tax prep people. Hopefully they will find something more productive to do.

I think people have forgotten what a games used to be (PS1 and before)... a self-consistent system of interactions with a challenge attached to it. That challenge is meant to stump the player, and that was a huge part of the appeal, to be good at something difficult and overcome/triumph over the challenge issued by the game developers.

After mobile games became huge, the laziness of gamers has been increasingly catered to with fancy UI, quest tracking, dying with little consequence, etc. Elden Ring is doing something refreshing and apparently surprising to other game devs: it just simply leaves the player alone to solve a challenge.

How do you plan to become profitable?

£3 flat sounds basically impossible become profitable on. Especially considering you're going for higher volume customers. Yes you have chosen a segment with low overheads (bank to bank transfers), but you will still have the burden of costs that scale very poorly with the volume of £ moved and number of customers served (e.g. CS, AML, KYC etc). Usually revenue (and some costs) that scales with volume is the route to profitability here, but you've explicitly forgone it!

So, in my opinion, your prices will have to rise substantially (most likely) or you will do something akin to what Robinhood did with PFOF and make the customer the product, which is to say, exploit them without them knowing. Sorry if this sounds harsh but your setup currently falls into the category of things that sound too good to be true, would love to hear how you plan to overcome it.

Having said all this I wish you the best of luck, hope to be proven wrong!

(edit: to clarify, i'm considering a business model without significant cross subsidisation - in which case this transfer product would still be loss making in isolation)

> Yeah, Apple's stuff is expensive

I don't think that's the issue. If Apple just priced this monitor at $2.4k and it included the stand no one would have cared.
This is true and there's no easy way around it.

As an employee I took the tactic of saying fuck it and saying what's on my mind. If it'll be used against me, so be it. I think that's the optimal path but it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. At the end of the day it's on the employee to find their path out of this.

As a manager the best I can do is try to build a solid rapport with the person in hopes that they feel comfortable opening up. But there's no magic bullet to this and every person is different. That rapport also goes both ways. I struggle with newer employees as I have no connection with them and am much more likely to fall back on generic platitudes. As I get to know the person the questions I ask and suggestions I make can be more tailored to their personalities and comfort zones.

One I did when I was much younger was after a trip to a Cracker Barrel restaurant. They have these golf tee peg games (triangle shaped board with holes and golf tees inserted). There are rules for doing jumps and removing pegs, with the goal of getting down to 1 peg remaining.

So I went home, fired up basica on my PCjr, and wrote a brute-force solver for it. Turns out there something like tens of thousands of possible solutions.

Then it became a challenge, to filter out duplicates (each solution appears 3 times if you apply it to the board with each 120 degree rotation, plus you have mirrors of these, etc). Was an amazing feeling for a youngster getting into computers.
As a rule they aren't insulting – but as with anything there are good and bad implementations.

I've been on both sides of the fence, as both an applicant and the hiring manager. I personally hate "leetcode" nonsense, "find-the-bug"-style quizzes or algorithmic white board challenges. I'd consider going through with them as an applicant, depending on the organisation, but I don't think they're useful tools and it would be a bit of a red flag that suggested they didn't have a great hiring process. But I realise that people have different views on this and try not to take it personally.

We have settled on using a compact take-home coding exercise, which is a pretty representative example of the sort of thing we do day-to-day. There are obvious downsides to this, in that it requires a few hours of commitment, but we've tried to be as flexible and light-touch with it as possible. My experience is that roughly 50% of people totally flunk it – and this is post-first-interview, after we've had a decent chat and decided that they can communicate and have the right level of apparent expertise. And our analysis isn't that harsh – it's basically "did you write code that I could read and which does something in the ballpark of the spec". It's pretty surprising to see so many don't hit that bar.

I am very much aware of the requirement to be respectful of everyone's time, so I figure this is probably fairer than having people waste effort continuing with the process when they've no chance. Any approach you take is going to have a set of tradeoffs, and all you can really do is make sure that whatever process you put in place is checking for the things you want.
Yes, I'm well aware of how to use these. I will elaborate on why I think it's terrible (even though there is no alternative in standard JS yet):

* It encourages JSX-specific idioms. Outside of JSX, using `&&` instead of `if` for control flow would raise eyebrows from most people, I think.

* I find it easier and faster to refactor `if` statements to `if/else` and vice versa (only requires addition or deletion of code) than to refactor `&&` to a ternary operator and vice versa (also requires modifying existing code).

* Multiple nested ternary operators almost immediately become a mess, while a series of `else if` expressions (if such a thing existed) seem perfectly readable.
There are many reasons why this is happening IMO:

- Russia is using a small fraction of its firepower, according to expert reports I've seen.

- The reason, contrary to what we may all think in the West, may be that they are actually trying to avoid looking too evil with the whole world watching. Could they throw a tsar bomb in Kiev and be done with it? Probably, but the rest of the world wouldn't like that at all.

- They were unsure how the West would respond, and may believe that military retaliation was a possibility, so they decided to keep their big guns at home and "probe" Ukraine more slowly.

- They may be intentionally "hiding" their capabilities in order to keep an element of surprise when it really needs it (in Ukraine or if the fight escalates, with Western powers).

- Alternatively, of course, they may be just incompetent, which for some reason is what the West is thinking. Maybe that's what they want you to think?
Ask HN: What's your experience with high-risk investing?
