A young spider makes a long silk string, which will be blown by the wind, together with the attached spider.

Like a human who flies using a balloon, the spider does not have any control over the flight direction. That depends on the winds.

However, the spider can control when to descend back to the ground, by gathering the silk string, like the human with the balloon, who can release the gas which fills the balloon.

> It's not obvious whether drug addicts with adequate means of procuring a steady supply would be more dangerous to society than ones in desperation.

It would definitely be worse for them, if we moralistically care about their well being. They would also probably still need housing and food given to them, as their addiction would often prevent them from prioritizing those things with the UBI they got. UBI isn't a panacea to these problems, at least.

I always wondered if there's a way to define the group of unanswerable questions. Specifically, is there some sort of test that can be applied to a question, resulting in whether or not it is answerable. This will likely have to be limited to a certain field (say, physics) but could be useful nonetheless.

Because it can be politically very expensive to stand up to a dictator. If similar sanctions had been put on Russia in 2014 as was done now, there would have been a major political backlash from the resulting economic downturn. The Russian operation in 2014 was perceived with much less outrage than the outright attack two weeks ago, so major sanctions doubling fuel price would have been much more difficult to justify.

Even now the West moved initially fairly slowly, leaders gauging the public reaction (and the reaction of others) to the invasion.

I'm not saying this to judge the dogs' original owners. In many cases, the dog was feral and there is no original owner.

The important point is that dogs go through developmental milestones just like people and when you get a dog that has already finished its puppyhood, you have lost the opportunity to be present during those milestones and train the dog. Dogs can learn as adults, of course, but correcting bad behaviors is a lot harder. When you get a younger dog (shelter or not), they are more plastic and easier to train.

Yes, of course, it's on you to actually do that training well, but at least you have the chance. When you buy an adult dog, which is what most shelter dogs are, you're kind of stuck with what you get.

> Apple's management of any and all heat issues has been far better than any competitors for a while now.

Only if you define "for a while" as "since a year ago with the introduction of the M1".

Apple refused to make a thicker laptop or one with better ventilation to adequately cool the CPUs & GPUs they were sticking in them. They were among if not the worst of them all at handling the heat of the components they were using. Until the M1 Pro & Max rolled around, anyway, and suddenly they got thicker, with feet that raise it farther off the desk, and absolutely massive amount of vents all over 3 sides of the machine. Curious timing on that...
Preventative care is different from the concept of all round comprehensive annual physical as it has been propagated through the culture from the American experience (I practice in Australia, so am talking from what I see from time working there, and the trickle through effect culturally of Australians thinking this is something they ‘have’ to have).

Preventative care consists of positive health messages (smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, healthy diet, exercise), early identification of at risk individuals through family history, obesity, and then population wide cancer screening. Preventative care does not mean take a dozen tubes of blood and a pot of urine on every person every year.

I have the same misgivings in reaction to your comment as the siblings comments mention about gatekeeping... but at the same time, I agree with you. And I'm one of the people you mention.

Speaking solely for myself, your description of me, someone seeking smarter people than myself and mostly chiming in on political/business things, it is insightful and spot on. I don't contribute much, if any, to highly technical discussions, nor do I demonstrate my own expertise. I do have it (technical expertise), but I rarely see relevant times to bring it up, and when I do see those times it's usually better to stay silent or somebody else has already said what I wanted to better than I could.

So I contribute more (not much; I resisted creating an account for many years, and now try to limit myself) to the generalized topics we can all share interest in. If stories on those topics weren't there, I wouldn't say anything. In fact, I could get those exact same stories elsewhere with accompanying forum. The only reason I prefer it here is because of the smarter people.

Will that make HN more like reddit or <insert normie platform>? Yeah, probably, and maybe that's not great.

In other words I'm near the epitome of the strawman you created, and I agree with you. I'll consider if my own participation can be modified to alleviate our shared concerns.

Have you ever been to New Zealand, or Australia for that matter?

I have.

It's hard for most people to understand how utterly isolated they are unless they've traveled there.

Countries like the US with land borders aren't able to isolate. The US has tens of thousands of people enter every day in unregulated fashion, across the southern border alone.

New Zealand successfully locked their country down, and delayed COVID infection until a vastly milder variant that was more contagious showed up. It's hard to think a non-island nation could successfully achieve the same strategy. Every single person who enters the nation is forced to go through an airport, or far more rarely, a seaport. That confers an ability to strictly regulate entry for citizens and visitors alike.
Say what you want about Russian nationalism, at least it's an ethos

You misunderstand.

The question of what is a strategic and moral mistake for this US is entirely separate from what makes Lithuania happy.

If someone asks me how I would feel if I were Russian, Lithuanian, or Chinese I provide an answer from that perspective. That doesn't mean I agree with it or it is moral.

To be absolutely clear, I can understand why Lithuania would want to be part of NATO, but I do not think it was wise or moral for the US to grant such a request.

This is not a radical position, and was held by many NATO members at the time. They required significant persuasion from the US to allow Lithuania entry to NATO.

Similarly, France, Germany, and many NATO countries did not want to open the door to Georgia and Ukraine in 2008. They felt that it would lead to war in Europe. Again they were overruled by the US and we got a war in Georgia in 2008, the annexation of Crimea in 2014, and the largest war in Europe since WW2 today.

It was Blaise Pascal in his Lettres Provinciales.
This isn't just an engineering problem. Photons couldn't move around for the first 380K years or so. Space was nearly uniform, hot, and dense. The CMB is literally the heat wave left over from the point where the heavy soup thinned out just enough to allow photons to fly away in all directions.

The gravitational waves from those events would have already warped space, and the ones just now reaching us would be from the edge of the observable universe, and so too weak for any instruments we could conceivably build in the next few decades. Not that we shouldn't try, mind you. There are new frontiers in quasimatter and time crystals that could yield far more accurate gravitational wave detectors.

Also fascinating would be to attempt to decipher the deformations left in the metric already. There are some theories that basically say gravity waves permanently "crumple" spacetime, and it might be possible to read signatures of such events if this is so.
I was saying this at first I now see more and more evidence that Russians as a whole aren't wholly innocent.

Firstly can't ignore the rise of putin and him gaining more power & popularity after similar attacks. He at least used to be broadly popular, even though he messes with the actual elections.

And a LOT of Russians support the war.

Here is a poll I put in another comment puts at 58% support. I read another I think from Navalny said 50% but I can't find it so grain of salt.

complicated given they only see lies on TV.

But at this point the conscript soldiers know what they are doing. A lot of Russians ARE connected to the West and know the truth.

I don’t think you can entirely separate the accountability of a government from the accountability of its people. Take Apartheid South Africa for example:

Tremendous external pressure was applied on South Africa which affected its people. I was one of them. This created the impetus for internal change and resulted in, first a referendum to determine if South Africa would become a democracy- and then the actual transformation.

The world must continue to apply pressure on the whole of Russia. It sucks for the Russian people. Trust me, I get it.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_who_id (default_value text DEFAULT null::text) RETURNS text AS $get_who_id$

IF (length(who_id) = 0) THEN

return who_id;

why not just make JavaScript engines like node and browsers strip out TypeScript? Hide it under a flag if you want, it’s developers who are debugging who would benefit from that the most.

I mean this is a great idea, removing one more of the many many complexities in simply getting a nodejs package to browser and debugging (getting accurate source info and avoiding transpile errors are a PITA). JavaScript is an interpreted language yet 90% of the time it’s not even run interpreted. But “a proposal for Type Syntax in JavaScript” when TypeScript and JSDoc exist is just confusing and redundant.

That is an interesting technical challenge for Poland - having to remove any NATO specific telecommunication gear before handing the jets over.
