> most of them are sharp, however anecdotally most of the most pervasive cheaters were also Russian international students while I was in college.

We should remember that this is the result of the incentive systems they have had and the examples of material success (i.e. oligarchs) in the overtly kleptocratic system they inhabit, and not some kind of inherent cultural tendency of Russians. This is especially the case at this moment, when there is a tendency in the West to conflate Russians with the government of Russia.

> For instance, unlike the US most Russians even in the current generation attend a state university, party and drink like crazy until they attend college and shortly after college get married and immediately have children. ... This kind of culture is not necessarily aligned with fleeing the country to the west.

What do you mean by "not necessarily aligned"? The US has plenty of people who marry young and have kids. They disproportionately tend to be less formally educated, though.

Are you saying that young university-educated and married+kids Russians migrants don't fit in with their similarly educated contemporaries in developed countries? That also seems unlikely because that profile fits most educated migrants (i.e from India and China) to western countries.

Ditto. They look super cool to my eye. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the smaller 40 model (if I can overcome my complete terror of spending money on things). The only thing that sucks is their all touch infotainment system. It is unintuitive, clunky, and so laggy (and ugly!). Just getting a phone paired took my gf and I a few minutes of awkwardly stabbing at the screen trying to figure out which swipe would lead us down the right path. It's pretty much impossible to use while driving. Most of the stuff I've test driven the last few weeks follows the same all-touch or mostly-touch setup. So, it kinda seems like something you just have to put up with these days
I think you may need to experience people’s opinions from non western countries.

Often people from poor countries feel greater pride in their countries than people from advanced economies.

If you talk about the bad things in the US a great many would nod in agreement.

Do the same to someone who lives in Azerbaijan, China. Iran, Belarus, etc and you risk more pushback.
I wrote about just international money transfers within the same currency, not about currency exchange. These are different and independent services. It is true that the bank has high spread, so i do not use it for money exchanges, just for money transfers.

But as others wrote, saing 'zero FX markup' is opaque and nonsensical. Proper way to is just to annonuce your spread. Even companies that have some FX markup can offer smaller spread than 'zero FX markup' if they have balanced flows between currencies and can pair most of their transactions internally.

Putin is pushing, Putin started, Putin invaded... Trump announced, Biden sanctioned...
Guys, really, it's not 1900s anymore, we do understand that they don't make decisions, right? Terrible thing is that russians think America is behind the curtains (I asked), EU and US think Putin is crazy (also asked), and only handful of people understands that this terrible conflict is played out by globalists who were year by year buying out Ukraine's soil. Kind of alike to what Turkey and Britain are doing to the North Cyprus. No one cares about population there - only territory! It's just terrible!
Not quite.

If 99 out of 100 users input not-BS, and 1 user inputs BS, but the algorithm picks the 1 users BS input and feeds it to the other 99 first so they get angry and yell at each other over the 1 BS input together - that is a historically unique situation.

If it does it at scale for cheap, that is also a historically unique situation.

If it does it without a human being directly involved in the choosing and pushing process (and feeling bad potentially!), that is also a historically unique situation.

If someone sees all 100 users posts together, it’s easy to see the BS is BS. If the BS post goes to the top of the feed and is the first thing they see, and the normal posts either don’t show up, or only a few of them show up? That is a completely different experience for the consumer of the media.

> I think this is only true if you're already familiar with C-family languages (C and C++).

This comes up a lot. A lot of people learn C or C++ in school, so the distinction between learning those languages and learning programming in general gets blurry. Being full of UB that "works on my box" also makes things blurry: If you don't know how to write sound programs, have you actually "learned" the language?

I think learning C or C++ takes 2-5 years. Many people forget that, because it was mixed in with learning other things. Many others quit the learning process partway through without realizing it. Rust forces you to actually learn Rust to write Rust, which can make it seem like there's more to learn by comparison. But if you restrict yourself to the safe subset, I think there's actually much less to learn.

> Sounds like US bringing "democracy" to Syria by arming rebels who behead children.

While the US's foreign policy is abhorrent, they're really not comparable. Putin created a strawman and has been telling Russians that they're there as a means to defend Russia from Ukrainian Nazis.

It's more similar to the US invading Iraq because of WMDs.

> The hit from sanctions is larger than the potential gain in food security so I find this argument very hard to believe, and I haven't seen anyone reputable make this claim either.

Clearly Putin miscalculated. He thought Ukraine would roll over.

Ukraine's role as the breadbasket isn't a secret. Adding that amount of fertile land to Russia's territory is a fairly obvious reason for wanting to acquire it [1]. From a strategic point of view, it's been discussed since before the invasion as a reason why he'd want to take over Ukraine (and why Crimea was a stepping stone to doing so).

> This seems like a claim that is not supported by Russia's actions nor words. What evidence is there of this? It's like claiming the US invaded Afghanistan to expand territory.

How is Russia invading Ukraine in attempt to take it over not supported by this?

> This would be easier to believe if Kamala Harris wasn't sabre rattling in Munich last month.

It's pretty obvious that Putin would use this as a means to justify escalation. He'd been moving armaments and soldiers to the border for much longer than a month. This has been a plan in action for quite a while. It's wild to claim that VP Harris's presence a couple of weeks before Russia's invasion had any actual involvement with Putin's justifications for invasion.

> In light of captured documents outlining how they expected this to be over in three weeks, no one in the Russian military is worth a ruble

To be fair, the US policy leadership made similar misunderestimates of the difficulties it would face in Iraq, it just didn't have global sanctions crushing it's economy at the same time.

(On the other hand, a key figure in that determination and policy planning regarding Iraq was reportedly described by the General that commanded the invasion and early occupation as “the dumbest fucking guy on the planet”, so, there's that.)
He is incredibly smart though which is clear from his talks and his writings. I don't mean to disparage him in any way. I was merely curious.

>most people use the crap one (Mypy)

idk, I wouldn't go this far. Mypy is slow, but it's probably the most correct, and it allows for configurations pyright refuses to. For instance, the maintainers won't add an option to allow variable redefinition/shadowing, seemingly because they don't understand the difference between a variable and a binding (https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/discussions/2441). As for Pyre, last I checked it had a lot of false positives that Mypy doesn't.

Besides all that, some people want to use a checker that isn't exclusively developed by a huge company (Microsoft, Google or Facebook).

Oh, forgot to address the vet part of your question.

Vets in the US are overwhelmed since the pandemic because 13 million pets were adopted and the demand for their services skyrocketed. The vet supply did not increase due to the pandemic...

They usually give you 10 minutes to do a physical, take care of vaccines, address any serious issues and don't have time to teach you about all the toxic foods. It is kind of a long list. Vets provide medical care, not education. The culture and service is designed to treat sick dogs and food poisoning, not to teach dog owners in order to prevent the dogs from getting sick in the first place. petlovequiz solves this gap in educational knowledge in society.

Something can be a war crime AND not a genocide. (I recommend you wikileaks for a list of US war crimes which aren't genocides).

Putin invasion is illegal, many war crimes were committed, but it's nowhere close to a genocide. What word will you use for real genocides ?

> and after watching the daily footage from Ukraine

That's the main issue with this war, people are fed clips after clips of bombings videos, crying civilians, dead soldiers in blood pools &c. It's an information war just as much as it is a regular war

If we had the same level of publicity for the invasion or Irak or Afghanistan would you have condemned the US of genocide ? Many more civilians died. Would we have banned the US of swift ?

What about the siege of Sarajevo ? genocide committed by nato ?

It's a war, did people forget about them ? Civilians always suffer, either directly or indirectly (starvation, exposure, &c.)

Unplug, stop watching war porn, read experts reports if you want to keep up to date, don't fall for the news cycle/social media bait. There are 30 or 40 other wars going on in the world right now, all with civilians getting killed, if you want to be outraged every single second of your life feel free to look them up. There even is a real genocide going on for the last 10 years or so in Darfur, have you heard of it ? it's not making the news, 100k to 400k people were killed though

> I think the definition of genocide is very clear

It is, and no serious source calls this a genocide...
This is not entirely accurate. European countries pay billions of dollars for gas directly to the state. If they stopped immediately, the damage would be far greater than anything coming from the ordinary citizens.

Russia and Ukraine generate a quarter of the world's grain, and nearly as much so of corn.

Ukraine was pretty much written off for this season, but Russia shutting off grain exports is going to make things worse. However, it's yet another loss of income for them when they've already lost most of their oil/gas export income. My guess is that the grain and corn will go to China.

The US pays a lot of farmers to sit on their asses, so there's plenty of capacity; if the federal government acts fast and farmers are smart...
> Clicking a checkbox that says "accept all tracking/cookies purpose from any website" and having the browser accept for you absolutely is informed consent.

IANAL so it's pointless for me to argue on that point. Of course if somebody is happy to accept in advance any privacy policy and will confirm all of those automated choices in a court (if they'll ever be challenged, can't think why), no problem with that.

My point was that we shouldn't expect a major browser vendor to go through all the process to build an API with those legal implications. I wouldn't bet on major websites adopting that API anyway. It looks so much following the letter of the law and circumventing the spirit of it. Very risky, both legally and as a middle finger to the regulators.
Ough, this touches a nerve. The Fastrak system is atrocious and I have been battling it for years. Let me count the ways:

- They took my CC number and just kept replenishing $25 every so often even though it had a big balance already. Thankfully my card expired so now I'm sloooowly (don't drive much anymore) working my way through the $100+ credit on my account.

- It is so hard to check and contest charges. I had to sent in my complaint with snail mail and IIRC it took a month before I got a reply back that requested information that I already wrote in the first letter doesn't apply. I gave up at this point.

- There is _NO_ way to check the transponder short of just using it and waiting a week for the event to show up on the bill. My windshield was apparently blocking radio transmissions (I know why, don't tell me) and experimenting with a different location has a crazy long cycle time due to the above. There days I guess I could do it with a car driving behind me reading what the sign say, but that only works when there isn't much traffic.

I hate Fastrak.

A word used only by Postgres developers
I came across a word in the Postgres source code that I'd never seen before: "frammish".

https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/src/backend... :

> Therefore, they offer both exclusive and shared lock modes (to support read/write and read-only access to a shared object). There are few other frammishes. User-level locking should be done with the full lock manager --- which depends on LWLocks to protect its shared state.

It sort of makes sense in context, as a "feature" or a "flourish". It also appears on the pg_hackers mailing list:

> There has been some talk of separating the power to create new users from the power of being superuser (although presumably only a superuser should be allowed to create new superusers). If the planned pg_role rewrite gets submitted before the 8.1 feature freeze, I might look at adding that frammish into it.

and here, from 19 years ago:

> And we get ragged on regularly for the non-SQL-standard features we've inherited from Berkeley Postgres (eg, the implicit-FROM frammish that was under discussion yesterday).

No amount of googling turns up a formal definition or usage outside of the Postgres community. "frammish.org" doesn't seem to be related.

Are Postgres developers starting to evolve their own dialect? Should we call an anthropologist?

>but I know it’s not black and white

Russia started an irredentist invasion of an independent democratic country.

How is that not black and white?
They can conservate it for the better times.
I sort of agree with you, but I don't think the judgment by westerners is justified considering how few westerners have contributed in any significant way toward the freedoms we enjoy and how many actively seek to undermine them (campaigns against free speech, due process, egalitarianism/"colorblindness", unfavorable election results, etc). While it's true that Russians are in the best position to fix their government, those who protest or otherwise resist demonstrate a braveness well in excess of anything most living westerners can claim, and I think that should be the posture with which we discuss Russians resisting their government.

EDIT: as a sibling commenter points out, many western countries are still directly financing the war via payments to Russian state fossil fuel companies. How many westerners would be willing to endure a year or more of high prices and economic downturn to resist the Russian invasion (yes, Americans favor boycotting Russian oil now, but (1) will they still after a year of high gas prices and (2) many other western countries are far more dependent on Russian oil than America)?
