> There is a reason that Russia occupied Crimea in 2014, then didn't move on to annex more (or all) of Ukraine until 2022: the US had a leader that was unpredictable and relatively aggressive from 2016-2020. With Biden replacing Trump, Putin began spooling up the Russian war machine for the attempt.

I was mostly on the same page until this part. I don’t buy this.

Like “Trump wouldn’t have let Afghanistan fall”. It’s being repeated often on the right without acknowledging the events of his admin that suggest otherwise or ignoring that administration’s possible contributions to the outcome.

Trump’s public-comments and actions would have seemed to encourage rather than discourage Putin.

Regardless, this explanation also feels too US-centric. Isn’t the election of Zelensky rather than a pro-Russian candidate among other things a likely reason for escalation?
Seems like they should lower the congestion toll there. Easy problem to observe and solve.
So I can take a train with my dog up the 280 corridor?

Ah, right. Caltrain is only on the inside, 101 corridor; also, last I checked it doesn't allow non-service animals. So...
That's just it though. The position was never that it was BAD per-se.

It's just... They wanted to control who was permitted to express nationalist sentiment, who were acceptable targets of "hate", and who was allowed to own guns.
I hadn't actually! I'll check it out!

Do you recommend?
Close your facebook (and whatsapp, insta, etc) account and move on and encourage others to do the same.
So you would put 50-75% of your income (or how comfortable you are investing) in yourself rather than in bonds/stocks/etc...
No - they are explicitly adding bias here. They are coding it into their algorithm.

Frankly, I'd be surprised if there weren't implicit biases already there.

But this is something new. Its overt, explicit.
> the elites have a plan in place to "Trigger the economic, financial and stock market collapse, the bankruptcy of the banks."

I haven't read that, what's the motivation? It seems like things are pretty good right now for the elites. Why rock the boat?
I suspect Russia will soon enough find itself closely intertwined with Chinese ecosystems and standards. I think Putin has envy for Xi’s autocratic-techno-state and wishes to emulate it. What better way than to become a part of it.
I guess Facebook got tired of being held responsible for various international pogroms and just wants to set up a facility for states to use social media to organize pogroms against minorities that they want harassed, expropriated, or mass-murdered. The US has become a nihilistic place that stands for nothing and will change its "time honored" values on a dime for politically opportunistic reasons.
Let's do something about this. What should we do?
Not all physicists make that conflation - Wald’s book in General Relativity emphasizes tensors as abstract concepts, and then details how they can be expressed in terms of a basis.

The OP also emphasizes the abstract interpretation as providing more intuition than the coordinate transformation rule.
China and USA.

None of these things — least of all sanctions — would be allowed against their citizens.

Let’s not forget that the country one lives in is the least likely to show its atrocities. So let’s just accept it — geopolitics ain’t fair.

Therefore I have always been bothered by appeals to some sort of sense of decency in people by various groups being attacked, that are themselves at the same time unapologetically biased and unmoved by the same appeals by other weaker groups. (And yes this most definitely includes Russians.)
What’s “not relevant” in the case of macroeconomic money supply changes are models that try to imagine the whole economic system as if it’s a barter economy containing just dollars and cheeseburgers.

As you rightly point out, you have to have other goods, like salads; a labor force; and concepts like supply chains from which cheeseburger suppliers get their resources, before you can even begin to think about what will happen in an economy when you add more dollars.

And then you need a better way to measure the effects than just using dollars. They’re one of your variables.

I’m not remotely denying that adding dollars to the economy is inflationary, by the way! I’m just unimpressed by simple models that have little explanatory value and lead to bad thinking.
I would've expected soybeans to be in there for Brazil. Also, I didn't realize Brazil exported any cars! I went off of the car one and tried to think of the foreign car manufacturers I see around here (US) and came up with Subaru/Toyota (Japan), Kia/Nissan (S. Korea), Audi/VW/BMW (Germany), Ferrari/Alfa Romeo (Italy) and Volvo (Sweden). That narrows it down quite a bit. Granted I'm not a big car person so I could've been wrong as I know there are a lot of large carmakers who don't export to the US.
>>A no-fly zone" is one of the worst misnomers out there.

Its not a misnomer at all - it is exactly what it says it is - might not be a good idea, but calling it a 'no-fly zone' is completely accurate.
I can't believe this is real. Zuckerberg might not be the brightest guy but I can't believe he could be that stupid. I hope Meta will back down and apologize very soon.
It's not a misnomer.

And, asserting NATO air dominance in Ukraine is easy and guaranteed to succeed with de minimis cost (in lives and/or military equipment). Whereas creating land dominance with tanks is another matter.

A no-fly zone is an easy win for NATO and would make Ukrainian civilians safe from aerial bombardment.
I have this vague recollection the some benchmarks use long double which is a severe handicap on all x86 platforms other than win64.

I can’t recall if the geek bench use of long double is a few of the c++ APIs specified in terms of long double or if it actually does real work with them.
Ugh - not a fan of declaring everything you disagree with as "evil".

I think NFTs, along with the vast majority (but not all) crypto, are total bullshit, but I also accept (a) I could be totally wrong in this, in which case, my loss, and (b) offering rails to sell these items doesn't strike me as "evil" in the slightest.
Yes, absolutely.

I think it can feel pointless when it's just a few people or less. At that size it may just be easier and more effective to wing it, or keep a todo list.

However, when you start involving more people than you can talk to easily, the work starts to pull apart into an incoherent mess. For work to be well coordinated at scale, one person needs to be able to hand off to another person. One team needs to hand off to another team. If dependencies weren't done on time, you could have a whole specialized team that is missing what they need to be effective or on time.

At that larger scale you need something to keep track of who, what, when. JIRA, monday, spreadsheets --- in some ways it doesn't matter, but there needs to be management that did not exist and probably wasn't needed at the small scale.

@l7l, would you mind confirming that this definitely isn't any kind of phishing attempt to gather details from German founders?

They are going to have a hard time trying to explain themselves as to why they are praising Nazis on their platform and why they did not 'de-platform hate' especially those ones.

For companies like Facebook and Instagram, outrage sells; especially during a war. So why not squeeze out extra ads while they are at it?
it is actually illustrates QM superposition. Also reminds a situation when you're troubleshooting some complicated issue while not having yet enough information - you kind of running several, frequently mutually incompatible, scenarios in your head at the same time.
Yes, maybe it's time for Russia to leave Ukraine alone. That's the simplest solution.
I bet they still haven't figured out a fix for the area around the Old Oakland Rd. exit/overpass. IIRC the water table is technically above the road, so any time there's rain that section floods; in addition to that, it also constantly has terrible potholes and they appear almost as quickly as some are fixed.
I 100% support Ukraine but this is building a muscular reflex pattern than can't be unlearned. We shouldn't have private tech enforcing state wishes. They are no longer un-biased parties.
You're right that if you have access to foreign bank accounts or currency that can be an option (can be hard to get if you're in a country with a hostile government). Often BTC is the most accessible option available.

Crypto is the only option where you have the (practical) capability of true custodial ownership (as opposed to trusting a third party to hold it for you). Practical meaning you can actually take it with you in a low risk way (you're probably not escaping your hostile government with gold bars if you're even able to buy them in the first place).
That's the exact feeling I got from it. It says nothing and can be broadly applied to anything with philosopher quotes sprinkled in.

The comments also seemed less than genuine and the source of the material is anonymous.

So far just announcement of an action and half point rate hike with 7.9% inflation I would call announcement of micro-action.
The cost/benefit ratio would be way off though. The article mentions one of the proposals that Linus shot down "because it did nothing to prevent future problems from being introduced".

Were they to use C++ in the kernel they'd have to first define which subset of C++ is allowed (in practice pretty much nobody uses all of C++ but instead uses some subset of it that they have more or less learned to use safely, and that subset varies wildly from person to person), and /then/ they'd have to add tooling to make sure nobody varies from that subset. :)
If they were truly private platforms they would be liable for what's said on them. You could sue them for hate speech and libel, etc.

The WNBA lost 10 million last year even after the NBA gave the league 12.5 million. The NBA made 8 billion last year. The average attendance at a WNBA game is 2500. Attendance at an NBA game is generally limited to how many seats the arena has. ESPN bumped one night of the WNBA finals to ESPN2 to air an NBA preseason game because the ratings would be higher. The WNBA will play 36 regular season games this year, the highest it's ever been. The NBA plays 82 regular season games. No WNBA team has ever turned a profit in the leagues history.

Why Russia Can't Survive Tech Sanctions [video]
FB and IG already don't operate in China. Out of all the big tech companies, I would think that FB would have the least issue with standing up to China.

Not necessarily saying they would. I don't know enough. But they certainly have a lot less conflict of interest.
Even as a moral absolutist myself that's a laughable oversimplification bordering on deliberate obtuseness. Obviously all hate is not the same. You call for the extermination of covid-19 and nobody will disagree with you. You call for the extermination of mosquitos and most people won't disagree with you. You call for the extermination of destructive invasive species and a majority of people will agree with you. Some reasons for hate are acceptable and some are not. Hating someone because of their race is not acceptable. Hating someone because they invaded your country and bombed your fleeing women and children is acceptable.
> in order to physically move protein molecules into your muscle cells where they can be used to repair said tissue, you need carbohydrates

This is correct (kind of). Insulin is an anabolic hormone (makes cells build bigger things out of smaller ones) so you need to eat protein and carbs to have high enough insulin levels to build muscle. If you only want to get fat, eat lots of carbs/glucose. There are glucose bars like chocolate. For a while I used to eat a protein rich lunch and then 1kg of bananas until 6pm. I got most gains in that period.

Not a MD.
The fact that non-software has the capacity to end more lives than software is inherent in one being less plugged into the real-world? Perhaps I should wire you $10k straightaway out of the gratitude that we do not exist in the world where Stanislav Petrov dutifully followed the erroneous computer readings from Soviet early detection systems, sparking global thermonuclear war. Would that be a sufficient kill count to your liking?

Besides, few pieces of non-engineering is responsible for massive data breaches that lead to massive indirect consequences, such as Equifax. Perhaps your obsession with death overlooks other consequences of poor software engineering like financial ones, such as Black Monday, 1987. Perhaps bad software kills fewer people because less software engineering is involved with real-world systems- though requiescat in pace to those lost to Tesla Autopilot accidents, or the unfortunate biker in Arizona struck by a self-driving Uber.

I am transparently moving the goalposts here because your presumption that fatalities are the only consequence of shoddy software engineering was fallacious to begin with. Pray I do not move them any further.
Very smooth, surprised to see that it almost doesn't use any CPU! Basically the opposite of the WebGL stuff that I tried out in the past. I wonder why :o|
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, by Hunter Thompson if anyone is wondering
Not only is GP a moral absolutist, but GP's system of morality postulates that hate is bad. It is also possible to be a moral absolutist with other postulates from which you can derive that hate is bad in many cases but not all.
It sounds like you're advocating for pushing censorship responsibility to the user. I agree this would be nice — in fact you could consider uBlock Origin a form of client-side censorship that already exists. In practice, I'm not sure how much adoption such a system would get, if used for censorship purposes. The main problem is the underlying truth that most censorship proponents are not actually pro-censorship of the information _they_ consume — they're pro-censorship of the information _other_ people consume.

Even if you _could_ find a user who wants their client to hide information from them, that user probably doesn't want to filter their own spam, too. By default, the client already expects the server to fulfill a gatekeeping role in filtering (censoring!) spam. In fact, this is how we got here in the first place – we delegated filtering mechanisms to service providers, and now they're simply expanding the filter.

Personally, I'm in favor of a simple but likely effective regulation: Any service that renders a feed of third-party content to the user must default to sorting the feed in reverse chronological order, and must reset all current users to this default on the day the legislation goes into effect. Of course, this only mitigates the feed-based, mostly social-media problem — it doesn't solve the issues with search results (or auto-complete suggestions, for that matter). For search results, a client-based model wouldn't scale, as client preferences need to be evaluated at time of indexing, not when returning results.
A no fly-zone officially drags NATO into the conflict and WW3 kicks off.
It's never been "US Approved" - it's been what's approved by one group of people in the US...
> There is a reason that Russia occupied Crimea in 2014, then didn't move on to annex more (or all) of Ukraine until 2022: the US had a leader that was

...actively sabotaging NATO, so there was no time pressure motivating the high-risk strategy of invasion.
This is exactly the concern I had when people started donating DJI drones en masse to Ukraine. They're not a trustworthy platform, and they're owned by Russia's principal ally.
>It's ridiculous to assume that "I hate my neighbor and am going to kill him" and "there's a Russian army invading my city, we should set up an ambush" should be held to the same standard of speech

Yeah, those examples are the easy ones. What about "we should genocide russians"? Where does that lie on your spectrum? Should facebook be allowing such speech?
What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Calling for literal violence against Russians is less dangerous than claiming masks aren't helpful? Is there something here I'm not getting?
That depends if you violate the no fly zone...
No one would be forcing Putin to violate it.
I suspect this is the real reason. Condone "Outrage" whenever you think you can get away with it.
Maybe I don't understand the question enough because I'm wondering if DeFi is excluded as a viable answer, but possibly you're just not aware of it? But it seems like it's making lots of people money and that seems inclusive of artists.
If Russia wanted calling for their troops to die to be a Zuckable offense, they should have spent more time focus-grouping catchy phrases like “the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud” and “regime change”
Ah no. Nazis are bad. But it’s okay to praise Nazis for doing good things.

This is perfectly internally consistent.
Here around Denver, we have the ExpressToll system, which started out as the electronic billing system for E-470 (the toll-only highway that runs around the eastern Denver metro area), but then got adapted to the I-25 express lanes, and then to HOT lanes carved out of existing freeways (US-36 and northern I-25 first, then C-470, I-70 through part of the mountains, and more coming soon). They use either a basic RFID sticker that always charges the toll, or a switchable pass with two positions. One bad thing: "high occupancy," for which you can use the "free" position on the switch, requires 3 occupants now, not just 2.

The other toll-only highway, the Northwest Parkway, has its own pass system (GO PASS), but ExpressToll is compatible with it as well.

I have the sticker for my car; it's always seemed to work OK for me.
Russian TV axes show starring Ukraine's leader after Putin joke (2019)
Thankfully we're not seeing a total fuck-off-world axis forming here, a 100% antagonist alliance-versus-world relationship forming. China has recently refused to resupply parts for the Russian air transport systems[1] (so claims Russia).

I don't think you are wrong at all. But I don't think this intertwining will be as mutually desired & reinforcing as Russia might perhaps have hoped.

How does the Substack App fit into the picture with apps like Matter and Instapaper (and their integrations with programs like Readwise?) Is this for the more casual / sane reader, and is meant to coexist alongside the more power-user apps like Matter?
sorry, I didn't mean by volume, but rather that when folks say resin they mean bpa epoxy resin.
That would seem to lead to a nuclear attack somewhere (in the model of the conflict in my head). If NATO pushes Russian troops out of Ukraine, Putin will be embarrassed at home, and he'll use anything at his disposal to not appear as the loser.

This general did war games, and he has a grim view as well: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/08/russia...
Wow, that is attrocious. I kept getting bored part way through and had to force myself to go back and try again. Now I've reached semantic saturation on the word dork.

Well done!
no-one is a truly expert programmer 100% of the time.

Types catch a lot of stupid errors that anyone can make, regardless of skill level.

They also localize guarantees. If your data has a type, you don't need to understand the full path it took to arrive in your function to be able to work with it. With dynamic types, you can only hope that a value has the type you need unless you explicitly check every time.
> A no-fly zone is an easy win for NATO

Doing this feeds the narrative from Putin that NATO is an aggressive force and it would also go against what NATO is, a defensive alliance.
It think something like this would need to scrape the information from each service, which sounds like a lot of scraper upkeep for a variety of different sources.

I think a more interesting question is whether there is a public API that has data for what shows are on what services. The app itself would be pretty easy to build with good data coming in.

My strategy is to subscribe to a service if I want to watch something on it, binge everything worth watching on the service then unsubscribe and repeat in 6 months or a year. Yeah, I need to stop watching television.

all insignificant compared to the suffering Russia is imposing on Ukraine. Russophobia should be the least of people's worries when Russia is dropping bombs on hospitals full of Ukrainian kids.

And before "whataboutism people" come here say "USA does it too", well, yeah, that's why a lot of people in middle east have a visceral hatred for Americans.

I've always thought it's a bit silly have a publicly accessible GraphQL API but then turn off introspection. If the only thing you're relying on to prevent someone from knowing about a certain field is that none of your web client code currently requests that field, you're already in a pretty flimsy predicament. And even then, people could trivially check for common or expected field names, or even brute force a lot of short field names.

If you really intend for your GraphQL API to be used only internally and from your official web client, and you consider any fields not currently requested in your web client to be highly sensitive, you should really turn off public access to the full GraphQL API and use something like GraphQL's persisted queries where your web client requests queries by an opaque unique identifier rather than the fully text of the query.
