The word “or” in 1001.42 § 8(c)(3) [1], which bans “discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate,” looks problematic. (Emphasis mine.)

Nix that word and the statute is fine. With it, a teacher can’t say anything if a 2nd grader, a 7 or 8 year old, asks what it means to be gay. They can’t read a storybook about two married men or women doing dishes. That seems excessive.

If sanctions are not effective enough, refugee visas to valuable Russian citizens are likely to be the cherry on top. Finish draining the country of its future economic productivity, leave the scraps for Putin. And frankly, those workers deserve better than what Russia offers. Pair that strategy with rapid transitions off of fossil fuels by the US and Europe.

Is it possible to block posts on twitter and LinkedIn that my contacts “liked”? I have no interest in seeing these — I just want to see what my contacts posted or reposted.

It’s cool to see this tool, but I have to agree with agentdrtran that it’s surprising to see a paid blocker. Optics aside, I would be hesitant to charge people up front for a tool that will undoubtedly turn into a cat and mouse game if successful. What happens if someone pays for a year and then LinkedIn changes their algorithm in a way that breaks your tool? Or if you are sued? The latter would be less likely IMO if the tool were free or donationware.

Quoting a March 4, 2022 Wall Street Journal article interviewing Robert Service https://www.wsj.com/articles/cause-ukraine-war-robert-servic... :

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted from two immense strategic blunders, Robert Service says. The first came on Nov. 10, when the U.S. and Ukraine signed a Charter on Strategic Partnership, which asserted America’s support for Kyiv’s right to pursue membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The pact made it likelier than ever that Ukraine would eventually join NATO—an intolerable prospect for Vladimir Putin. “It was the last straw,” Mr. Service says. Preparations immediately began for Russia’s so-called special military operation in Ukraine.

Mr. Service, 74, is a veteran historian of Russia, a professor emeritus at St. Antony’s College, Oxford and a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. He has written biographies of Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky. The last work, published in 2009, attracted the ire of die-hard Trotskyites world-wide for saying that their hero shared many basic ideas with Lenin and Stalin on the “one-party, one ideology terror state.” Mr. Service says they still “mess around” his Wikipedia entry.

The November agreement added heft to looser assurances Ukraine received at a NATO summit five months earlier that membership would be open to the country if it met the alliance’s criteria. Mr. Service characterizes these moves as “shambolic mismanagement” by the West, which offered Ukraine encouragement on the NATO question but gave no apparent thought to how such a tectonic move away from Moscow would go down with Mr. Putin. “Nothing was done to prepare the Ukrainians for the kind of negative response that they would get.”"

The 2nd blunder, according to the article:

"The second strategic error was Mr. Putin’s underestimation of his rivals. “He despises the West and what he sees as Western decadence,” Mr. Service says. “He had come to believe that the West was a shambles, both politically and culturally.” He also thought that the leaders of the West were “of poor quality, and inexperienced, in comparison with himself. After all, he’s been in power 20 years.”

In Mr. Putin’s cocksure reckoning, the invasion was going to be “a pushover—not just in regard to Ukraine, but in regard to the West.” He’d spent four years “running rings around Donald Trump, ” and he thought the retirement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel left the West rudderless. That set the scene for the “surprise he got when he invaded Ukraine, when he found that he’d inadvertently united the West—that what he’d done was the very opposite of what he wanted.” Mr. Service calls Mr. Putin “reckless and mediocre” and scoffs at the notion that he is “some sort of genius.” What kind of Russian leader, he asks, “makes it impossible for a German leader not to build up Germany’s armaments”?"

From what I have seen with my Israeli friends (so caveat, sample size of 2 and one of them was quite a long time ago) there seem to be a serious case of collective cognitive dissonance. It’s not that they really want to hurt the Arabs (though some of them definitely do), it’s just that they don’t see this sort of things as bad. An example is the borders walls and checkpoints. Or bombing Gaza.

A response I often get is how "refreshing" it is to speak with someone who doesn't spew out fluff and gets to the point. And these are people who themselves ping-pong for 10 minutes before getting to the meat of a conversation.

This is a good example that what people do isn't necessarily what they appreciate or like. It's just a norm. Whether it's positive or not is quite a different aspect.
Time to diversify your supply chain then.
This may be accepted in US culture, but it's not the norm everywhere. Many countries have a culture that advertising should be truthful and not deceptive, backed up by laws and enforcement. e.g. https://www.asa.org.uk/
The problem is Facebook has never had principles beyond market share and ads, we can be honest about that one.
Agreed! My point is not so much as whether it's possible, it's as whether the analogy holds, which I think it doesn't, since no companies are trying to create unicorns.
I tried using Barrier in a fairly complex setup (Linux, Windows, Mac with all of them being sometimes unavailable). Found some annoying UX issues (Windows privileged/login screen kicks the mouse back into the original position on a different monitor) and more importantly the Linux machine would wedge itself with 100% CPU used by Barrier.

This is a nice tool but not yet production ready.
Your criticism of the US incarceration aside, which is nonetheless a good point, of course if you philosophically deconstruct the world there is no freedom. You are subject to constraints of the natural world at a minimum, and really technology and the modern world were created to possibly give more freedom than the constraints of a "natural existence".

But the stack of technologies and institutions that relies on obviously have both practical limitations (with guns you have the ability to kill far more than you can with bare hands, but we'll restrict that with prohibitions on murder than you wouldn't have in primitive existence) and political (arbitrary declarations of property and ownership and therefore power).

Thus "freedom" is the range/opportunity/ability to do things with modern technologies and society. The idealistic freedom is laid out in the laws and structure of governance, and the practical freedom is access to resources, technology, and services to accomplish something.

With "totalitarianism", what I think is meant within what I just wrote is that the central powers both restrict the ideals AND dominate the practical access to resources to degrees that trigger the palpable instincts of unfairness and existential danger in humans, especially in comparison to other societies.

I guess with respect to incarceration, we look at what they are in jail for. Incarceration is generally due to the war on drugs in the US, and then unfair enforcement of the war on drugs against minorities over white people. To some degree (bullshit possession charges and other similar atrocities of the prosecution of the war on drugs) a great deal of the incarcerations are for laws that have somewhat of some line of thought (deterring the drug trade) even if it is actually creating perverse economic incentives to encourage/enrich the drug trade.

But am I more "free" in Russia/China or the US? I would say both practically and idealistically I am clearly more free in the US. Not to the degree that the US markets itself as ("propaganda") but clearly better than my perception of Russia and China.

I'm Italian, but I live in Germany and my language is set to English on all my devices and software.

I haven't lived in Italy for about a decade, but I created my Google account when I was still in Italy. To this day YouTube will randomly switch to Italian and machine-translate some (but not all!) titles and descriptions of YouTube videos.

I've manually changed the language setting back to English a dozen times and tried to nuke any reference to Italy from my profile but Google keeps thinking "This poor user must have accidentally switched language and not know how to go back! Let me help and serve him half translated websites" every two months or so.

Leverage, and refinancing. It's not like taking a mortgage locks you at that market rate. With refinancing, you can take advantage of market rates to improve your leverage even more.

I refinanced last year to a 15-year mortgage at a sub-2% rate. The math happened to work out that my payments didn't change, but it halved the amount of my payment going to interest each month. Which, in turn, accelerates my payoff date by about 10 years.
The fact that this incident ended without any real damage actually gives me hope. These are two nuclear armed states with a bitter history of armed conflict and yet there was no escalation.

In Germanic countries, it’s common to write numbers like 1.234,56 instead of the anglo standard of 1,234.56. Not just on paper, but also digitally. So a value in excel or a CSV is now 1234,56 instead of 1234.56. As result, CSV needs to use ; instead of , as separator

Which is why TSV exists, because the tab character is universal.

Super fun. I use a 303 clone in some of my stuff. The physical interface is just a big gumption trap for composing, and this web interface is actually 100x better. I will likely use this to compose and hack around, and then plug it into my physcal 303 for its part. The extra fun is modulating with the knobs.

I use analog synths to get away from screens. Fun thing I've discovered that is specifically useful for the 303 is that loops and melodies with a prime number length against composite number beats are a source of free constant movement in otherwise repetitive loops. A 4 on the floor beat vs a 7, 11, or 13 step melody only cycles every 4 x n bars. I've been mulling one of the an 808 re-issues, or even investing in a collectors item, and playing this in my browser is removing my excuses for putting it off. Thank you!
> The authorship of Lenin "Testimony" (only called that later by Trosky supporters) has been put into question to a significant degree by recent scholarship. I suspect Lenin would be spinning in his grave when people suggest he would have wanted Trosky to be his successor.

Recent scholarship meaning Kotkin. His is still a minority viewpoint, but he makes a solid case for it here (interesting throughout):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ9KCG0KO4U

More broadly speaking, his historical project is dispelling the notion that Stalin was some amoral psychopath who deviated from Lenin and the original Party and betrayed the organic development of the revolution (the viewpoint of most Trotskyists), so he's coming from a particular angle.
It ain't that bad. We have the internet, that's pretty neat, and there's enough good food to feed many people.

Yeah you may have some people who are still mentally stuck in the feudal age, and yes it would be nicer if they got with the times are started trying to actually be useful instead of playing idiotic status games like chimps in suits, but I think by and large humanity does manage to produce nice things in spite of them.

Saudi Arabia, as with Iran, is a theocracy that also enslaves its population. Saudi Arabia merely throws in a ruling family aspect to it.

No, Saudi Arabia is not a sovereign state. Its people are not remotely close to being free, they are de facto slaves of the House of Saud.

You seem to have missed a critical point. Free countries do not have a moral imperative to invade and free enslaved nations, they have a moral right to do so, at their choosing (insofar as it aligns with their national self-interest for example).

> Or any other dictatorship that the US supports.

Did you really think my answer would change because of US support or lack thereof as it pertains to a given dictatorship? I'm not in Russia, in the US I'm free to say what I actually believe about my own country, good or bad. I have no problem calling the US out for its negatives, most people are familiar with such already anyway.

The US also made a pact with the devil in its alliance with Soviet Russia during WW2. Historically the US has held alliances with vile regimes from time to time for strategic reasons.

Here are some of the primary US allies: Britain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Czech, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Norway, Slovenia, Poland, Portugal Iceland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel. And you can probably realistically add Finland and Sweden to the list.

Just a large collection of the free, affluent nations of the world.

Now show me Russia's allies. Then let's compare the levels of corruption and the style of government of each nation's allies.

What do you suppose that says about the US and Russia? It's obvious and everyone - without exception - understands exactly what it says. It says the same thing it said 35, 50, 70 years ago: Russia is still on the wrong side of history.

There was a study done, years and years ago, that I remember reading about that suggested men are most productive, creatively — at the cutting edge in demanding fields — before they start families.

Wasnt there an old ~8 hour long movie about the media making up stories to sell news?

Edit: I cannot remember the name, I just remember being in JB HiFi in Australia looking at DVDs and there was an old black and white movie from the 20s or 30s about a guy who has a new empire but they make up stories to sell the paper and none of it was real. I just remember not buying it because the time was something like 6-8 hours long.
I worked at a large VHS duplication facility in the 90s. The largest branch of my company had a facility that had 5000 VCRs. The facility I worked only had around 1200 VCRs. All of the equipment involved to make it all work was crazy, but cool to someone in the engineering side. Lots of video distribution amps were involved, but there were other pieces of gear that most people would never even know about. We had gear that would inject other signals/data into the video on the tape. The most obvious was Macrovision encoders, but we also could insert a code in the blanking that would tell us what shift the dub was created and which bank of decks were used to make the recording. Most dubs were created from proper masters going back from 3/4", 1", BCSP, Digibeta, D1, D2, etc. From time to time, we would also get VHS/SVHS "masters".

The coolest thing to me was the high speed duplicators. VHS tape came to us on "pancakes" which were large spools of tape with thousands of feet of tape. The dub master was an 8-track type of system where you had the exact amount of VHS tape for your content that was spooled so that it wound back on itself with no rewinding. The company I worked for received a patent on this. At the beginning/end of the content were some cue tones. The high speed duplicator would run the blank stock from the pancake very very close to the tape from the 8-track wound "master" with both tapes passing through a magnetic field. This field would align the particles on the blank tape source. It was the closest to digital clone VHS could, and avoided generation loss in the dub. The high speed would run the entire pancake in a matter of minutes. IIRC, 45 minutes of content took 15 seconds in this system. The recorded pancake was then sent to a VHS tape loader. It would start at the end of the pancake and load the blank VHS cassette by rewinding directly from the pancake until it heard the cue tones where it would splice and move on to the next cassette. You could sometimes hear these cue tones at the beginning or end a tape depending on if the splice was pre/post cue tones.

The same pancake could be sent directly to the loader as blank stock and a preset length of tape was loaded so that we could have inventory in 5m, 7m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 20m, 25m, increasing by multiples of 5m up to 180m tapes. Using the dubbed pancake cut exactly to content duration was the most efficient use of tape, but some dub orders did not need a large enough quantity to justify the dubbers. That's where the large number of VCRs were used to make dupes the old fashioned way and we would choose the tape length closest to the content duration.
