US GDP > GDP of China + India + Pakistan + Brazil.

Global reserve currency = USD.

Pakistan? Ha, comeon.

Now let's add in the other US allies (EU GDP is ~$16t-$17t, roughly equal to China; Canada and Australia both have economies larger than Russia). And we're just getting warmed up.

Most of the global economic might is with the US and its allies. Russia can be successfully smashed economically, and it'll be far easier than it was with the USSR.
There's no favouring. The price is determined by the market - if a large enough buy order comes, it will move the market, whether it's from the company itself, or the general public.
Why are they not ? This is more of an ethical dilemma. I agree with @ munificient. I could probably list a lot of things that do a lot of bad for the environment.

I've never heard a person referred to as dated, so I'm not sure it directly implies any ageism towards people.

With tech itself, newer stuff usually performs better, is easier to use, and has better features.

Older stuff sometimes has one or two of them, but more newer has all of them more often than older, once the new thing reaches maturity(If that ever happens, since it often takes the aforementioned thousands of man years referenced in the thread)

Web3 is sadly changing this though.

I also entered 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and it predicted 55.02, 60.04, 65.07, 70.09, 75.11, which are accurate when rounded :)

I don't think these countries care about ukraine-russia conflict the way the western world cares.

Humans have biases due to tribalist nature. That is why last year no one gave a shit about the Armenia-Nagorno-Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict.
That is why no ones gives a shit about Ugyghurs.

So, West cares about ukraine, christians care about armenia, muslims care about palestian, jews care about israel, pakistan cares about kashmir, india cares about tibet, sunni cares about other sunni's while shia's care about shia's. etc.

So, western users (people) think that all the world is caring about ukraine the way they are doing, but it may be not like that. Countries like india, china will have their mouth watering as they are going to get resources (like gas/oil for china, minerals/weapons for india) at cheaper prices due to sanctions.
I would love to know this too, especially as all the devices are now standardizing to USB-C. Trying to connect 7 or 8 USB devices, trivial with USB-A is darn near impossible with USB-C from what I can tell.

That and all the weird cable / port incompatibilities makes it all the more confusing - which might be why there are no hubs.

And don't get me started on the super confusing USB-C cable length limitations.

For the person (me) who doesn't have a deep understanding of all this it is a confusing mess.
>Lots of Russians actually believe that the strikes are precision

(Speaking as a Russian who was in similar situation back in 198x in USSR) Russians have lost all mental critical thinking capacity when it comes to government propaganda, and the propaganda makers know and use it. For example about precision strikes - the official Russian TV made a glorifying report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrekdY2FgD0 on such a strike carried out by a plane loaded only with unguided bombs (FAB-250, 500lbs) calling them "missiles of point-precision" and showing a video of supposed launch of a ground attack missile from that plane. That despite majority of the men in Russia being pretty familiar with weaponry/etc. and able to see the lie if they wanted to, yet they don't. Government can tell these days anything and Russian population just goes with it.
It doesn't matter. What matters is that they (China + India + Pakistan + Brazil + 100 other countries) will continue buying Putin's oil.
Endurance Is Found
IMO the unhealthy countries typically have a diet consisting of sugar + processed seed oil foods which lead to endless cycle of consumption and sickness. Things like cake, donuts, cereal, most american style bread that lack not only fiber but contain high PUFA oils plus unnecessary sugar lead to a constant cycle of insulin release , eventually an endless downward cycle of: inflammation, high blood sugar, insulin release, fat storage, low blood sugar, hunger, snacking on sugar + bad oils (rinse and repeat).

If you can take one of those elements out of the cycle, you break the cycle. Those cultures stop the cycle (or more accurately, don't start it, although that's changing with time as the SAD diet takes over the globe). It's just not that sugar has to be bad, or carbohydrates are always bad, but if you were raised over-eating sugar and have PUFA related inflammation, they aren't going to help you lose weight or feel better.

At the end of the day, some people just think it's all about "calories in and calories out" but it's a rather myopic look on it. At some point we need to look at the type of calories people are consuming (starting a a young age and as they get older) and try to understand that different foods and different impacts to the body and its hormones (like insulin) and that the typical standard American diet loaded with sugar, no fiber and shitty oil (causing inflamation, which causes blood sugar spikes) are causing metabolic issues and putting a ton of people into a broken state ("metabolic syndrome").

Right now the average on-chain Bitcoin payment for $0.94 USD. I bought a conference ticket a couple weeks ago from someone in Thailand for $0.24 USD. One confirmation took 6 minutes. This isn’t a Lightning payment which would be nearly instant and almost free. It is a payment on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Remember, that payment includes final settlement, something that can take months for a credit card merchant.

Also, there are many other Proof-of-stake chains that offer faster and cheaper settlement.

It looks like https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Megatherium edited the German article to add Vigna's public domain multiplicative xorshift variants, and he misattributed xorshift64star to Marsaglia. https://github.com/jj1bdx/xorshiftplus/blob/5b345e2a2f32f1c5... Vigna obviously knows better than to multiply and not shift but that's not going to be obvious to an anonymous wikipedia editor since you really have to dig through the gpl framework code to find where he does that: https://github.com/jj1bdx/xorshiftplus/blob/1425aae20cd42324... The xorshift variant section should be deleted because if it's multiplying it's not a xorshift. The Lehmer generators show that multiplication alone with a 128-bit word size is enough to confound all the randomness tests experts wrote the last century on 32-bit computers. The value of something like xorshift is on a microcontroller that isn't good at multiplying.

South Korean TV, similarly to Japan, has a lot of on-screen text as part of the experience. Subtitles could be blacked out (i.e white or yellow text on a solid black background) but the universal idea of sign language is to help those who are visually impaired.

This sounds like you think subtitles aren’t already offered.

Stairs are more universally useful, does this mean wheelchair bound people should be ignored as you equivalently suggest here with subtitles vs sign language?
I've heard similar things like that too. And the solution is relatively simple, good cause thing to do too, just donate blood one to 3 times a year.

It's just too bad that inside the agreements for blood donation for the red cross and vitalant they give themselves no-recourse, no-notice and no-further-consent needed dna testing, research rights and data storage rights to that blood. Which has stopped me from donating blood. And I can't find any other whole blood donation providers in my area other than those two. Super sketchy.

Most people in both nations, including everyone who has a say in any decision, support the status quo. China isn't going to unilaterally invade Taiwan, and Taiwan isn't going to take steps to change that fact.

Recent events in Ukraine have made the Taiwanese less likely to tolerate the formation of foreign-affiliated groups like "Right Sector" or "Azov Battalion". There is also no area or population similar to Donbas where westernized Taiwanese could e.g. kill 14,000 people or burn down a trade union hall with lots of people inside.

You wrote: <<Lots of Russians actually believe that the strikes are precision and only aimed at the military targets.>>

Thank you for saying it out loud.

To be fair, I think you can safely replace "Russians" with many other people. Certainly, US media loves the term "precision strikes". They are nonsense. I also once believed in them.

As a thought experiment, imagine a bus stop is bombed with precision guided bombs (or a missile if you like). Imagine that bus stop is in the same neighborhood as your office or home. Imagine that you walk or drive past it daily. Imagine that a "precision strike" took out someone very bad. How would you feel, walking past a huge hole in the ground where the bus stop once stood? You would never again feel safe in that place. Everyday that you pass the hole in the ground, you would think to yourself: "What if I was standing at the same bus stop on that day?" This is my point about "precision strikes". The term ignores the impact on real humans who live near those places.

It was Magic the Gathering for my age group. Thankfully(?!) my school had bigger problems to deal with vis a vis gang activity including actual drug dealing; we were just a few quiet mostly-white nerds that played Magic in a math teacher's room at lunch. But, I never spent my parents' money. I earned my dollars-a-week allowance doing chores, and started blowing it on Magic cards. My parents did grow concerned when they noticed my bank account was dropping, but when I showed them, my mom was enchanted by the beautiful pictures on the cards and my dad was glad that I wasn't doing drugs.

Loot boxes kinda suck by comparison. Loot boxes are pretty straight gambling, mostly for decorative skins. Magic, Pokemon, etc., cards are different. There's some gambling, but deck-building requires a lot of strategy -- they're good for the brain. Where there might be some value (I don't see it) to playing stuff like FIFA and Fortnight, it isn't in the loot boxes.

Most diet tracking nutrition research is not that good, consisting of surveys that ask you what you've eaten for the past year, from memory and then doing correlations. Most people don't remember what they've eaten last week.

I think to do something really accurate nutrition wise would cost way too much money and take too long, so it mostly doesn't get done well.

So unless you do something specific with faith practice communities that are good about their strict diets and fasting, like Buddhist monks, there probably isn't much good research data for that in the first place. And then that has issues with controlling for other things, like meditating a lot, etc.
I like the answer "right now". We have to assume that we're already, at this moment, wrong about something important. We always find out in the future that our past selves were wrong; hence, we are presently wrong. It's science's mission to figure out what we're wrong about. It's also dangerous to get angry at people who question science, as if we can't question science, we can't really do science. When someone asks for proof or says something isn't real or true, it's science's job to provide the proof.
You don't think the shows on TV are curated?
I’m not an Apple apologist, I don’t even have an Apple monitor. My mantra for any monitor I would buy, including the ones I have now, is: if it doesn’t have a VESA mount and optionally the ability to purchase without a stand… then I don’t buy it.

I suggest people start doing the same. Proper monitor arms are usually around $100 (AUD) and better than almost all stands that come with almost all monitors on the market.

However egregious Apples or anyone else’s pricing for a stand becomes it literally doesn’t matter because you don’t buy it and use the VESA mount instead.

One more thing not mentioned here, is that using a microservice architecture can naturally help isolate outages to small parts of your app/website. Rather than take it down entirely.

My team supports a large microservice system, and while there are definite drawbacks to the architecture, one of the major benefits is that its never 100% down at any given time. Usually a prod incident will make one particular button flakey or one view/page fail to load. Some users won't even notice theres an outage. Oncall is paged and can quickly rollback the squeaky microservice to a previously deployed version, and let an engineer investigate the root cause in a test environment later.

We have a pretty poor understanding of how the human brain (our only "Strong AI" evidence) learns, but the one approach that has been pretty definitively ruled out is large-scale backpropagation in the style that most deep learning pursues today. Maybe backprop is a true alternative approach to AGI, but it's hard to be completely convinced of this.

There's the problem, nobody's sorry for offering only these static 100MB chat clients taking 2GB+ of RAM once launched. These apps are technically ridiculous, especially since all they do is embed a website. I mean, if all your company's willing to deliver is website, why even bother with the apps...

That seems like a really bad way to spend money. Why limit a person to a single workstation if the workstation is the limiting factor? This is where we get clouds or if it must be done locally, rack mounted systems with many cards.

i could see science getting to a point where you could grow a human body, but I don't think we could surmount the challenge of transplanting a head and successfully integrating the brain from your "old body" onto your "new body".

More specifically, I think even if you could perfectly reattach every nerve from the brain to the spinal cord, your brain might still not know how to control the new body.
