My first impression reading your comment is that it is simply coded resentment that there is dedicated attention given to women.

Assuming that I am mistaken, what makes these stories boring, and why does a predictable topical focus invite scorn? Further, what exactly do you mean by “Google being Google” here?
There is a dead (why?!) sibling comment: most of the refugees are women and children. Male Ukrainian nationals between 18 and 60 years old aren’t allowed to leave the country.
Technically it is exactly the same as a generator, you sell power at a particular price. From the grid perspective it is exactly the same. The fact that you also consume energy is coincidental. And it can work well with existing grid systems by turning on as frequency drops or you get signals from a control room. It uses the same kind of approach as a peaker plant (the tanker truck filled with diesel and a generator).

China Plans to Feed 80M with ‘Seawater Rice’
I've always wondered what the calculation looks like for doing something like riding a bike to work. Are the benefits from the exercise significantly greater than the possible accidents if you have to share a road with cars and exposure to pollution from riding in a sea of exhaust?
K but Russia is where we all illegally stream from right now.
Thanks, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something about the competitive mindset rubbed me the wrong way. It’s all about seeking external validation in the existing status quo.
I was not counting that as bilingualism.
Putin is trying very hard, but western people don't understand war and russian starting point.

* Logistics is being targeted
* Russian army relies in railroads like its 1945
* Ukraine targets logistics as the well identified weak link
* Ukraine is defended by everyone and everyone hates Russians.
* Morale is Russian army is turbo low. They dont want to kill people who could be their relatives.
* Generals on Russian side die further demoralizing them.
* They realised top is using them often as cannon fodder.
* Logistics company in US army is usually 4 times bigger than in Russian army per organisational unit of army. It means that US understand the war much better than Russia.
The rate of violent crime nearly quadrupled between 1960 and its peak in 1991 in the US. Even with the COIVD bump, rates are comparable to the mid 60s, and aren't tracking the previous climb.
Very interesting article! I was left wondering though in what ways the queue abstraction solution failed?
Also in that scenario all functional nuclear devices on the planet were detonated, iirc.
>Solar doesn't work that well the further you get from the equator.

This simply isn't true outside of artic zones. While it's true the panels become less efficient in a $/kw basis, the cost of panels is already so low that the increase is negligible.

These dark, barren areas also tend to have a surplus of surface area so adding an extra 20-30% in panels to account for the disparity isn't an issue.
If these sanctions or unilateral support moves were well thought out they could have strengthen the Russian opposition and weaken Putin hold on power, by only allowing some of friendly actors to do business/move money around. Yes, it's complicated but could have been a possible solution instead of using the same paintbrush which may backfire in the most spectacular way. These companies who suddenly drop the business, close bank accounts and so on create fear in their customers all over the world, some of them would choose to do business with companies that respect contracts and allow grace periods for their customers to migrate to other services.
Most everyone I know says that Chronicle was a failure.
No, it doesn't make Jobs remarkable, it makes him a toxic leader... a textbook one at that.

> treated people in ways they felt uncomfortable with and achieved things that people thought were out of reach.

The biggest misunderstanding about leadership from people and orgs who don't appreciate that it's a science vs. an art is that to do the impossible, to stretch orgs and do it in unorthodox fashions, that "make people uncomfortable," the Jobs-isms that made him awful part has to come along with it.

This is just patently untrue.

Where this trope comes from is understanding a bit more about toxic leadership. Toxic leaders tend to excel. They're very talented. They can produce. The thing is: they do it by shredding their teams. If the incentives are right and the feedback loops are a certain way, they'll rise all the way to the top (and possibly stay there) just on the back of their product/production sense, with a history of angry teams, colleagues, partners and "a rep." Just like jobs. That's all there is to it.

What's happened is the growth of a narrative, in part via posts like this to be respectfully candid, that the toxic stuff has to come with the unothordox/visionary leadership stuff. It really does not. Kevin Mandia (showing up in another thread today on HN) is a good counter-example. If it's a stretch to compare Mandia vs. Jobs, and it definitely is outside of a lab setting, look at the Google founding team's reps vs. Jobs, or the netscape crew vs. Gates.

Why this screed - leadership is important, and it's a science that goes beyond running on pure charisma or pure talent. Tech must learn it better.
Innovation is about new ideas, improvement is about better implementation of old ideas. That's how I think of it. Something like Khronos, the high speed camera company, which has a lot of innovation (vastly different architecture which helped them reduce costs and make a better specced product than competitors).
> What's the alternative? It's forcing Russians into tough decisions, hitting Putin and friends where it hurts, or letting Putin get away with it.

I honestly don't know what the right path is here. Sometimes all the choices are bad.

In all likelihood, Putin probably will get away with this in the long-term. Most of us are happy to change our Twitter profiles to a Ukrainian flag, but how many of us would go and fight in Ukraine ourselves, how many of us would willingly send our kids over there to fight? Not most of us, I suspect.

I think the best possible outcome, which still isn't great, is that the Ukrainian people turn this into a quagmire and the Russians leave. The Russian public, much like the public in the West probably doesn't want to send their kids to die in another country that hasn't attacked them.

Do sanctions actually work? Maybe, but I'm not 100% convinced. North Korea is still sabre rattling and developing nuclear weapons despite years of sanctions. Cuba hasn't buckled despite over 50 years of U.S. sanctions. Iran hasn't had a regime change despite all the economic levers pulled against them over the years. The boycott Israel movement hasn't stopped the construction of settlements.
This seems to be hallmark of a “Middle” developer. Not so junior that they couldn’t build a working solution that they assume everyone should use, but not senior enough to think twice about whether they should be building it.

The “we should make a common framework” for this line is the dominant thought at this level. Never even a library. A framework. Everyone must do it this way.

The more senior people share concepts and maybe libraries, and allow the team to use them if they see fit.
Just checked with my cancer textbook and it cites a 1990 study from the Netherlands that indicates that curing all cancer would increase life spans by a little less than 4 years.

Most people who get cancer are quite old. This doesn’t lessen the tragedy of young people dying from cancer but it is rare.

> How many dead Ukrainians to achieve which goal in which way?

Russians, not Ukrainians.

Ukrainians will defend their country and the Russians won't have the stomach for a prolonged insurgency, just like in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan led to the fall of the USSR, and Ukraine will now lead to the fall and breakup of Russia.
It's like that on almost any site these days.

>but don't you lose quite a high percentage of the electricity generated when you move it over the vast distances needed for that to work?

No. 1-2MV DC transmission lines can move power 3000+ miles at >97% efficiency.

This isn't directed at you, but I'm starting to get super frustrated with this myth that transporting electricity is inefficient. I see it almost everywhere these discussions take place and I don't know why.
Possibly, depending on who their source “a US official” actually is.

If so, I have given Russian military strength far too much credit.
Looking at the link and thru the comments here-- seems to be a information-less post that is doing nothing but encouraging rumours (just see the comments here on HN)

As such, I dont know how/why this is on the front page.
I agree that people have been reckless with population safety in past, but your comment seems to imply that the Millenial generation are somehow flawless with regards with this subject. While safety is now more stringent than in the past, I very much doubt that this is the case.
No, twitter's frontend code is garbage. It routinely does this (at least on Firefox), and -sometimes- works on a refresh or a hard refresh. It's been this way for years.

Regardless if something is really serious, then compile the relevant/important stuff into a blogpost instead of making people wade through random tweets.
I agree, and if anybody has incentive to try to distort the effect of nuclear weapons it's the lab that's getting paid to create them. I don't think they would, but you never know.

there's this thing about the modern internet era which makes it possible to find a study to debunk (or support) pretty much any idea/theory you want.

specially in the midst of an information/propaganda war

all I'm trying to say is that I have decided not to think in the way you just did e.g. "where's that study which supports what I already believe?". It doesn't seem like a good tactic anymore
In school and public libraries it was a physical piece of thick paper, similar to a Rolodex card, which had multiple copies, always one per author and one per title, but sometimes backups by subject manager. And when I was a kid, there were often multiple, redundant copies that one could take to the librarian to check out the physical book if it were particularly important.

Yep, that old :(

> it seems that all these goals could've been achieved much cheaper, with perhaps a little more time investment?

This is a massive understatement. It makes absolutely no sense in any way. The fact that the author thought it necessary to add some big introduction about their "source" in an attempt to add credibility in what is just some fantasy by someone who really doesn't like the idea of CBDCs is highly suspicious.
I've worked at bigger companies and there are plenty of folks much higher than 'middle dev' forcing these types of things down the organization's throat.
> So basically scientists that are funded by a group that has an interest in catastrophe comes up with a model that predicts catastrophe.

And Los Alamos is funded by a group that has a vested interest in keeping thier nukes, therefore downplaying the non-military, long lasting consequences.
I've been a proponent of natural, bright daylight for a long time. It's why I sit right in front of a south-facing window in my home office, and I try to take a 30+ minute walk/run every day in the middle of the day, no matter the season, to maximize my sunlight exposure. I live north of the 43rd parallel and our winters have short daylight hours (although nothing like Scandinavia, Alaska, etc). I have never been diagnosed for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), but I am fairly sure I, and practically everyone, have some mild form of it. Taking vitamin D in the winter helps a little, but nothing beats actually getting out in the sun. Humans just aren't meant to sit inside in the dark all day. It's amazing what sitting outside in the sun, even in negative temperatures, do for my mood and productivity.

I have enjoyed reading all of the posts on HN lately about creating brighter rooms. However instead of creating a solution with LEDs, I am determined to further increase my exposure to natural sunlight. As my wife and I get ready to buy or build a new house, I am all-in on installing skylights and as many windows as possible. Even a fully overcast day has 1000-2000 lux of brightness at midday.
Having used Chronicle, it felt like an underwhelming paper thin demo product compared to what the industry offers. May as well scrap it and lean on Mandiant's experience for a replacement.
I live in Minneapolis and there's often commercial property in residential areas that was built before modern zoning. I think this is fairly common. But these commercial properties seem poorly used. Maybe some turn into studios, some storage, some vacant. It's uncommon that they are retail, though maybe it's infeasible to get them permitted for many retail functions (partly due to regulation, partly due to zoning since renovations are limited). But really it just doesn't feel like the demand is there.
I'm on the same boat. Really not fan of him but his speech on the subject felt like someone put the words together about something that I was thinking on but couldn't pin it down.

This is the most idiotic argument I've ever heard. You can dismiss literally any problem that affects society by claiming the proponents of it are "politically motivated". No shit they're political motivated. It's a political problem that needs a political solution.
> If I'm an average Russian citizen, maybe I'm against the war, or more likely I just don't feel very strongly about it.

Unfortunately, no. A LOT of Russian citizens are enthusiastically pro-war, and it's very hard to de-program them from state-run propaganda machine.
Renewables + storage will provide a solid, low-carbon baseline until He3-he3 fusion is commercialized and we use that energy to dominate the solar system.
Even if that were the case it wouldnt change the result. And that is that NATO will not trigger WW3 and faced with further resistance Russia is very like to escalate further having exactly the result i described. Especially if this turns into a truly ethnic conflict. I dont mean it derogatory and i dont know how else to word that your feelings dont change that. And i dont know how you could think that when taking a moment to think rationally. Neither Putin nor Stoltenberg take your feelings into account.
>Sooner or later the civilized world will have to intervene.

Sooner would be much better though. What are they waiting for? Russia to bomb Ukraine into an unlivable wasteland and have ~40 million refugees move west?

It also says Kyiv hasn't been bombed (it has, including civilian areas), that Russia hasn't used its expensive equipment (they've fired at least 600 cruise missiles at Ukraine as well as the SU-34s you mentioned, and the top-line air defense equipment we've also seen captured). Most damningly, it doesn't even mention Putin's own given revanchist explanation for the invasion, which is indeed consistent with his historic rhetoric about the region and with everything we publicly know about his thinking on Russia's position as a so-called "Great Power". Putin is also notoriously averse to technology, so it makes even less sense that he'd plan all this in order to introduce a fintech transformation that solidifies his power (which was already solid before the invasion, which has in fact lead to the largest domestic protests in Russia in decades).

It's a novelty take, rather than a serious one IMO.

That is not the paragraph I'm discussing. I'm talking about the one that mentions the "years-long saga of obtaining new military jets."
Well tough. This is how you fight a nuclear power. The suffering of Russians is nothing compared to that of Ukraine.
Yes but that queue is bounded too. And if you follow the systems backward eventually you end up with a real person. That is then forced to prioritize away less important tasks.
> renewables will provide more high quality energy (that is, looking at work rather than thermal energy produced, since renewables produce the former directly)

I have no idea how this makes electricity from renewables “higher quality”.

I think that is a valid point, but it also very clear to the public that NATO is not putting its full weight behind it, and that it is not willing to engage directly militarily.

I think the public barometer of success will be based more on damage to Russia, than the outcome for Ukraine. If people see Russia suffer for the invasion and know that NATO held back, they will tolerate the outcome

The Innovator's Dilemma book by Clayton Christensen might help one get a better idea of what innovation is.

Basically, an innovation is a new type of product that can replace an existing product type at accomplishing a job. Some examples would be cars replacing horses, remote or hybrid work replacing traditional work, cloud infrastructure replacing on-premise infrastructure, Netflix replacing video rental, etc..

Usually the disrupting innovation isn't as good as the traditional product type at the onset but gradually improves until it becomes the dominant option.

> Additionally, even if their nuclear forces are in shambles, it really only takes a single launch to set off nuclear war.

Not really - a single launch order has to be communicated and obeyed. No one single person can launch it.

Then where is it launched to ? Uninhabited area, high altitude or a population center of a non-nuclear power?

You think Russia is cancelled now - imagine after firing off a nuclear weapon - China’s existence would be at risk too

Although we’d be so much closer to nuclear war there are still a few degree’s left.

Luck, skill, hard work, grit, vision.

You still need luck to discover opportunities with the correct growth slope in the market gradient landscape, funding landscape, etc. Some of this is intelligence, but it's also "right place, right time" and "who you know".

But you also need the skill and hard work to execute, grit when facing headwinds, and vision to see the gradient landscape as it ascends and unfolds into the stratosphere. You have to be adaptable. Future thinking, but realistically grounded in implementable plans with a pragmatism for building things the market will want, avoiding the traps your biases may set up for you.

Jobs had all of this.
