What is it that you are saying, that there are no bio-labs in UKR or that they are not used to develop "gene weapons" or "gene weapons against Slavs"? And what evidence you have to that effect? (a half baked opinion you find plausible?)

NB: Lets make it clear that disagreeing with your reasoning does not mean Im agreeing with the premise, though they are bio-labs in UKR ( I just do not know what they research there). US has been caught to lie about their existence already?

It is not questionable intellectually and ethically to substitute one propaganda for another. Especially in these times, one should be aware of emotions and keep them under the rule of reason if possible.

Most traffic violations, like parking tickets, are "strict liability": mens rea doesn't matter, if the offense was committed you're getting a ticket. Presumably this will be the same.
The value of saving 10% of your income isn’t only about what rate of return you can get for it. It’s also about normalizing your expected standard of living to 90% of your salary, instead of >105% as most people do.

If you get to old age having spent every penny you earned, your standard of living will fall off a cliff when you can’t or won’t work anymore. Someone who saved has both a larger budget and lower expectations of burn rate.

People who can’t fathom having a 6 month emergency fund are somewhat self perpetuating. People with 3 months will find they’ve moved the goalposts closer, and they just need time to get there, but less than they expected when they had 1 month in the bank.

Only a few european countries rely heavily on russian gas (on the top of my head, germany and italy).

It wouldn't be fun, but we can heavily invest in converting heating systems, and turn off some electricity sinks (industrial equipment, etc). Make the grid smarter to turn off equipment when demand is high.

Meanwhile, accelerate the deployment of alternative energy sources, storage, and diversify hydrocarbon procurement sources.

Basically what should have been done progressively, not that it wasn't called out. Both reducing reliance on Russia and phasing out carbon-intensive energy sources. It's mind-blowing that we made no progress on these, and now it looks like germany is doubling down on it.
So, if Russia leaves Ukraine now, all the sanctions will be dropped? :)

I'm sure Putin was angry about the missile shield project in 2007, but that's an insane reason to invade a country that isn't part of Nato in 2022. I've read all of those arguments from the think tanks, but again NATO doesn't pick new members like some sort of playground kick ball team. New member ask to join because they feel threatened by Russia specifically. NATO could turn them down, but that's not really in the spirit of the treaty, and gives a hecklers veto to Russia.

Putin's earlier speeches essentially boil down to a threat that he'll invade any neighbors who try to join a defense pact designed to protect them from Russian invasion. You could call that realpolitik, but it looks an awful lot like revanchism.

I would also point out that NATO has never attacked Russia, but Russia has attacked a bunch of places that aren't part of NATO. Defending Eastern Europe from Russian invasion isn't aggression against Russia.

I actually don't even like NATO or think the US should be part of it, but all Putin is doing here is using it as a pretext to capture territory. He made that perfectly clear on the eve of the invasion.
You don't need to eat less: you need to spend more calories than you consume. So, there are different ways to arrive there :

- eat food with less calories, such as veggies, soup, shrimp, mushrooms
- exercise more, but this is hard, as it's often said "you can't outrun a bad diet"
- eat the same type of food but less of it, ie eat less/be hungry

I've done 1 with success, then gained some weight during the first pandemic year and then tried 3, with intermittent fasting. Both worked, but I wouldn't recommend fasting or being hungry as a 1sr option to anyone, as it can reenforce the idea that "you need to starve to be healthy", which is quite wrong.

All of this stops the day Russia stops attacking Ukraine, it’s not like Russia is a helpless victim here.

Edit: I agree there will be reverberating consequences. Criminals have to pay their debt to society. Russia is already deep in a hole. Even if this war stops today, their economy is set back many years. The economic might of the peaceful world is being used to make an example of a warmongering nation. But Russia can choose to stop digging. There is no end-game for Putin in continuing this war.
If we assume you are correct, then the makers of these games shouldn't care if we ban exclusive distribution periods, since the results should be exactly the same.
> I hope conversations can now go up a level to the technical uses

Most if not all of the "technical uses" rely on rent extraction so it's really hard to talk about the technical uses without focusing on that major sticking point. Cryptocurrencies/dApps et al only work because of a network of miners on top of existing Internet infrastructure. They all add some extra cost onto every transaction. This in addition to the fantastic number of hucksters and scammers that need suckers to buy into the system so they can cash out.

The whole subject of crytocurrencies cannot be separated from the implementation details. Talking about "technical uses" as if the economic considerations didn't exist is pointless.
Of course, but there are plenty of people that won't realize that without seeing a doctor.
More to the point, as soon as that aircraft lands at an airport outside Russia (or, perhaps, China), a nice young person with a briefcase will be explaining to the FBO that the aircraft is the property of Foobar Leasing, and should not be refueled while the repossession process is under way.
Groupthink has decided that crypto is evil and killing the planet and any opinion to the contrary is wrongthink. This is the world we live in now.
It's just bizarre. You end up paying your cut twice: once to convert it into crypto (paying the exact same card fees you'd pay for a direct card payment), and then once again to pay someone like Stripe for this. For either a business owner or a customer, that's a loss - increased infrastructure fees just to do business.

It's the opposite of the crypto dream. But that's not Stripe's fault; it's Bitcoin's, for not creating a product which is actually capable of living up to its goals, and instead requiring all this 'glue business' to make it work. I hope someone else creates a new radically-different cryptocurrency which can be truly new, and not just a novelty stuck on top of Visa/Mastercard.
That by itself does not imply fumes cannot form at lower temperatures.

Even if they did that and all sanctions immediately ended (which is doubtful), it would take a long time to undo the effects of those sanctions (investor confidence getting rebuilt, the memories of foreign-owned civil aircraft getting expropriated to fade etc).
The dropping of the sanctions should be tied to the paying of the war damages.

> It's the kind of stuff we should be embarrassed not to understand.

We understand it. Onset is stochastic. Mitigation is impossible given current regulations in consumer-land. Read my longer comment for further details.

EDIT:
What I mean by "we understand it" is that we know that lead-free solder chemistry leads to tin whisker growth. When I was taking a deep dive into this many years back, the researchers I was working with at NASA told me "Growth onset can be 0 days to 3 years after manufacturing. Your guess is as good as mine.". And, BTW, you can have growth start in a few days in one corner of the PCB and a few months later elsewhere. It's a complex relationship of materials properties.

We know that tin whisker growth in lead-free solder is as much of a reality as gravity is between two celestial bodies. In other words, it will happen. We simply have no way to predict when or how quickly they will grow. It might just be too complex to compute/predict given the variables involved.
Except they will be full.

Not exactly; “panic” is what Go calls exceptions.

Which ransomware doesn’t use crypto?
During the Irish Potato Famine, Irish companies continued to export large quantities of food, which some have argued would have been sufficient to have turned the widespread and deadly famine into little more than an economic hiccup.

The headline of this article is untrue, evidenced even by the article itself. The one quote they provide from Russia is, "These measures are a logical response to those imposed against Russia and are aimed at ensuring uninterrupted functioning of key sectors of the economy." And look at the industries where exports are being restricted: telecom, medical, auto, agricultural, electrical + tech.

Russia is ensuring they have sufficient domestic supplies such that the impact of the sanctions on people's day to day necessities is minimal.

Absolutely. Russian elites are 100% gobsmacked right now. This is surreal to them. Give some time for the sanctions to percolate.

If you think censorship is wrong then it follows that you would think that the Russian state is wrong given that they are going as far as denying this is even a war, and actively censoring those that call it one. Are you saying that you're still keen for them to be allowed to do so?
And in this specific case, it feels more like quality control of state-sponsored spam.

Well, look back on this conversation in 2023.

For history's sake.
Yegg followed up with an argument about relevancy of results:

"Search engines by definition try to put more relevant content higher and less relevant content lower -- that's not censorship, it's search ranking relevancy." – https://twitter.com/yegg/status/1501734648417865731

The other premise is that Russian disinformation is irrelevant by virtue of being disinformation – that a user of DDG wouldn't want to be manipulated if he somehow knew in advance that this would be the effect on him. Accepting that arguendo, what about the user explicitly looking for what Russia has to say? I asked Yegg if appending "russian perspective" would give Russian perspectives. I don't expect a reply but it seems clear to me that down-ranking sites is too blunt a tool to allow for this.
Sorry, my fault: I don't mean that PAC-Learnability means that neural nets memorise their training instances. That's more my interpretation of their observed behaviour, if you like.

The small amount of discomfort you experience from people driving too slowly is nothing compared to the impacts of people trying to drive as fast as possible. Turns out, that traffic paradoxically moves FASTER (in the aggregate) when you reduce speed limits.

Because products are designed for a target market, and all engineering decisions have multiple consequences.

It is normal for mass market products to intentionally remove or never include niche features so that they can better appeal to the broader target market.

If you want a niche product, you have to buy a niche product: https://www.samsung.com/us/business/mobile/phones/galaxy-xco...

At the cost of almost everything. China has vassals, not partners.
For now. But we are already seeing a few chinks in that armor. China prizes stability. Countries that start wars over imagined slights do not promote stability. China's largesse is not unlimited nor does it ever come without a price.
Do you honestly think Russia will leave Ukraine if NATO says it won't expand? Expand is a stupid word, nobody is forcing Ukraine to join the defensive alliance.
Yes, it's a feeling majority of us experience at some point or another. After writing code and making software for a few years, you feel it's not fun anymore.

You should experiment more and find out what tasks or activities you find fulfilling so you can look for roles that allow you to do them more. For instance, if you enjoy investigating issues or incidents, then there are roles that allow you to spend majority of your time doing that.

Looking back helps. Why did you get into programming in the first place? Perhaps you like working from scratch. So go back and do that. This is a good way to reevaluate whether you still like programming like you once did.

If you don't care about low level details and don't enjoy programming, that's fine too. You can explore management roles, where majority of time goes in managing people, processes, and/or products.

If you feel you still want to be on the tech side, there are plenty of roles that are worth exploring: platform engineer, data engineer, network engineer, compiler engineer, research engineer, database engineer, etc.

The field is vast; you can just keep expanding your breath. It's okay not to find a niche.

You can teach, or study more, then teach. Presuming you still like learning more about computer science.

You can write about tech, instead of writing code. Still be in tech industry, but write words instead of code. Communicate with humans, instead of computers.

You can go further away and still be in tech I suppose, get into math modelling roles or quant roles.

Also worth ruling out is burnout. If you are burned out, you probably won't find anything interesting. So take a break, and contemplate what sort of things interest you. Whatever piques your curiosity, just follow that, and see where that takes you.

The vapor pressure of lead at 300 °C is around 10^-6 Pa. In laymans' terms, there is zero evaporation of lead happening during soldering. Ice at -40°C evaporates (sublimates) 10 million times faster.

The fumes from soldering are from the flux or rosin, and that is just as dangerous if you are using lead free solder. Always use adequate ventilation and/or filtration to avoid inhaling fumes.
And China will not not notice that it is the sole buyer of Russian products?

What Putin did to Ukraine, made Russia smaller and weaker, and there is no going back.

Maybe you can ask people who get their funds randomly blocked and restricted by PayPal and seized for months/years while an "investigation" takes place if there's any use-case for crypto.

Maybe you can ask ordinary Russian citizens what their legal protections are worth once they've been un-personed by the world.

Or perhaps you can ask Canadian mandate protesters what their legal protections in their currency are worth at their bank middlemen.
This is good for Russia in the short term, but is going to be soo bad for Russia in the long term. Even once the sanctions end, business/capital will fear going into Russia for decades. Everyone in Russia is going to be poorer for the rest of their lives because of what's happening in Ukraine.
>How is Russia invading Ukraine in attempt to take it over

This is opinion. Russia doesn't claim this, nor do their actions suggest this is their goal. Invasion is hardly ever about territory expansion. Afghanisatan, Iraq, Libya. Take your pick.

If China invaded Taiwan it'd be easy to say it was an attempt to take it over, because China has literally stated this is their goal. Russia has never said anything remotely like that.

>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.

She was in Europe advocating Ukraine join NATO after Russia stated it is unacceptable. How is this not provocation? Kamala Harris is a liability and has a long line of incompetent decision making in her career, whether it's throwing innocent black men in jail as a prosecutor or being highly involved in the Afghanistan catastrophe. This is simply her latest failure in leadership.
