> It’s pretty uncontroversial among people who study these disparities that economic and other differences between subgroups is caused by structural issues, not prejudice

And what do you suppose much of those structural issues are rooted in here in the U.S.? Housing makes a very substantial portion of family wealth, which is the biggest indicator of educational attainment.
Maybe he cares less about perception than practical effect? Militarily, their nukes will always be a thing. Economically, neither putin nor anyone else serious was under the assumption that Russia's economy was great. Is him asking Xi all that different than Bush asking Tony Blair before Iraq?

At the UN security council, Russia and China are always vetoeing measures and they like to back each other up. It's not that Putin asked for permission but that he did not want complete isolation.

On China's part, their espionage operations in the west are very telling in that it reveals their strategy a bit. They want dirt on everyone and they want to understand the west to achieve long term victory. Whether russia wins or loses, China wins because they get to observe who does what. When it comes time to invade taiwan or south china sea, they will be well prepared and they will know which pressure points to press in the west.

The greatest geopolitical mistake the west made was to take on both Russia and China at the same time. At any time one of them have to be your friend if you want to overpower the other. Putin or not Russia will not be friendly to the west. Their nukes and largest land mass of any country bordering america, europe and china means the west cannot afford to fight China on any front anytime soon.
I've had electric stovs with 100 amp service before, not a problem even if the ac was also on. 40 amp is standard for kitchen stoves so it is very common ,but obviously if you have gas they won't install wires for electric.
> Another question, I don't quite understand why Western countries always like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

China does this constantly and they do it quite openly.
> If you don't salt enough, no matter how good you make the sauce, or how fancy the noodle is, you're not going to have a good pasta dish.

I use zero salt. IME it's unnecessary.
They definitely aren't. Supposedly there is Patriot and C-RAM, whereas warships use AEGIS.

However, Patriot is based on largely the same technology as AEGIS (PESA engagement radar, TVM, Hit-to-kill capability, etc...), is supposed to have a high kill probability against these targets, and like the SM-3, is made by Raytheon.

So if Patriot can't intercept SRBMs reliably, it's unlikely that another missile system made by the same company using the same technology could intercept MRBMs reliably.
The same way that socialism or state control doesn't fix those problems either.

At least with capitalism the (alleged) ideal is decentralization of control. Other systems are overtly authoritarian with the explicit goal of consolidation of power.
I am definitely in the same boat.

For 30 years, I had a very specific vision of how I'm going to be different. Whether in serious relationships or single, I was not really buying into my parents' generation OR my own generation ideas.

Then:

1. I met "The One"

2. We had kids

And now I'm living a fairly stereotypical North American lifestyle. And not... begrudgingly or resentfully or bitterly so! It's just that nothing could prepare me or give me true empathetic understanding of how my priorities, goals, and lifestyle would change.

An extremely superficial example is vehicle; I always had sport small hatchbacks. I used to have endless debates with my SUV-loving friends about how unsafe and overly large they are.

I now have a minivan. I love it. It's not a necessity, it's a luxury, but it's a luxury I WANT as a married parent of kids in North American suburb who loves to travel with extended family.

Myriad other things about raising kids too; e.g. I will never ever again judge another human being when their kid misbehaves in public, or how they're handling it. I'm humbled with deeper understanding of how little of a clue I have as to their relationship, parenting style, or what long long LOOONG chain of events precipitated the outburst and what may be the right way to handle it given the background... or, what the parent's energy levels and day are like.

Electric stoves are very common even where natural gas is available, and even more common where it isn't.

The only induction stoves I can find are very high end models. I'm thinking about it, but for the cost I can install gas (including plumbing) and save money.

Even on the high end there is often on model with induction so if you want some other option as well you are stuck.
The mall in my town is 75% empty, and frequented mostly by older "mall walkers" such as my father, who does four laps a day. Was still cool when I was in high school (circa 2012). I have no idea how they're still open even after COVID. Dave & Buster's was supposed to open a location there but that fell through.
People so often fail to remember this as an option. I once wanted an Android device for listening to podcasts at the gym, but the device couldn't have any cameras or radios or microphones because of the gym's policy. I just popped it open, unsnapped a few connections, and problem solved.

Yes within China people from Shanghai also call themselves Shanghainese and their dialect is also very different like Cantonese so its nothing special. Shanghainese consider themselves, like New Yorker more cultured than anyone else in China including Cantonese.

But people of Chinese ethnicity will first always identify themselves as Chinese not Cantonese or Shanghainese or Beijinger or Fujianese except for some people who prefer to think they are superior then being Chinese.

Its like saying New Yorker is different from a Californian and they are not American. When they are outside USA they will prefer to be called New Yorker not American.

It's not a purely rational thing.

The plants are also located away from cities, so utilizing the waste heat for district heating is uneconomical.
I was in Moscow in 2008 and one of my fondest memories was visiting GUM (pronounced "goom") right in Red Square. Three or four stories of shops ranging from perfume to electronics to butchers.

I remember arguing with my mom loudly in English in its halls, and kids would come up to us to practice their english and try to help us :)

At the Motorola store in GUM I bought an unlocked Motorola ROKR with Cyrillic T9 keys, for the equivalent of US$200.

Our tour guide smiled on how much GUM was such a social hub for Russians since the 1920s. I couldn't comment on how the haves and have-nots viewed the location, or what it stood for over the years or today, but it was obvious to me its social status.

What an epic blunder by Putin which we can only hope leads to some kind of change in Russia.
There is also good to remember that these units at least higher powered are designed for 3-phase 400V that is 3 230V phases. Which I have understood isn't very common or easily available in households in some places around the world.

Ours seems to be staying open because of a planet fitness that took over a large section. Macys, Penney's, Seats and BonTon were the anchor stores. It's likely a casino will take over half the building.
Had the same thing happen between US states. Not fun.

The worst part is the horrible tax advice I’d get.
Some glass top stovs work better than others. I won't go back to coils, but I currently have a glass top that bad. However I've has glass tops that were good so I know they exist. But I'll take gas over electric anyday. (I have never used induction so I reserve the right to change that stance)
I don't want to become apathetic, but I need to learn how to better process what's happening and continue living my life at the same time. Right now I'm walking around in a near constant state of dread, and tossing and turning every single night (which was how most of 2020 was for me). Which doesn't help me or anyone else.
Renewables are only competitive because you are not pricing in either storage or the cost of building and running fossil fuel plants as backups.

Add that in and the equation looks substantially different.

These are not normal circumstances though, everyone ought to be aware of that. And even then, "exerting pressure" is not the same thing as, e.g. trying to oust Putin. One can very much allow the former and not the latter.
For all those who have and will suffer from this conflict, at least know the eight-point Russian demands, specifically that NATO rule out further expansion; given those demands NATO should be expecting either the unacceptable Russian demands to be withdrawn or preparing many ballistic missile interceptors, i.e. SM-3.
Not really a new thing though, before (very roughly) 1900 most people in France did not speak French as we know it today, the French govt as a matter of policy forced everyone to speak the same language (and it's mostly worked).

Here in NZ the govt tried to force people not to speak Te Reo, literally beating it out of children in school, happily we're past that now but, well, that's how cultural imperialism works
> So you're saying those attempting to restructure the classroom should not take into account this blog post? You seemed to fail to recognize the value of this blog post, or sharing knowledge in general...

Oh come on, this isn’t Pedagogy of the Oppressed, it’s a blog post of “things I didn’t understand until my first year on the job”.

TFA is a great post! It’s particularly interesting to laymen, and maybe rookie post-secondary faculty who have been taught a lot about their subject and very little (if anything) about how to teach. But none of it’s novel for anyone who’s been on the other side of the desk.

Talking about education practice in public forums is hard because everyone has a stake, and everyone thinks their experience as a student or parent plus a little common sense makes them an expert. Again, see literally any HN thread about education. TFA does a great job of reminding laymen that often those Chesterton fences are there for a reason. But sorry, I don’t think it’s a rejection of the idea of “sharing knowledge in general” to say that “visionaries attempting to restructure education” probably shouldn’t be laymen.

So, okay, “on the contrary” in my OP was a little strong. Not that anyone shouldn’t read it. But just because something is new to you doesn’t actually make it new.
You know... I think our's has a planet fitness as well! But same; Macy's, JC Penney, Old Navy, MC Sports, GameStop, Sears -- all gone. Only Kohl's remains.
Samsung? I can’t stand their stuff for this reason.

I think the LG OLEDs are the best available option, but they’re not perfect either.

NextDNS is also great for something a little easier to manage than PiHole (plus also easy to use outside of your home network and on mobile).
The wind farm linked above is installed in a forested area. The turbines are above the tree line, and didn't require a significant amount of deforestation. In addition to that, in CA at least, and I'm sure elsewhere, wind farms can still have farm land underneath, definitely grazing land.

On top of that, some solar installations are actually compatible with some foods, here's one article on that: https://www.dw.com/en/farmers-reap-double-benefits-with-sola...

Point being, land use doesn't need to be single purpose in your example.

In terms of the weather, this is why it important to have balanced installations and associated battery storage.
Really? I know this is a US article -- but in Canada as a kid my library used to sell "old books" that were too worn to keep in circulation for a nominal fee. Often sold garage sale style once a year. You could get a $10 book for $0.25 or something. As a kid I'd always make a list of books I read and wanted and wait each year to see if I could find some of them there.
To be honest, I don’t know.

I’m not looking for “free as in beer” press. Journalism takes effort that is real and should be remunerated. Without that, all you get is people who have an incentive to broadcast their version of the truth based on some other feedback that usually boils down to propaganda/proselyting/evangelism.

What I’m looking for is to have the profit motive detached from the news. I was intrigued when Jon Huntsman bought the Salt Like Tribune and changed it to a non profit organization a couple of years ago. I’m not a regular reader of the Trib, since I live up in Washington state these days, so I don’t know if it’s made a real difference. I read the occasional article from it, and it seems less click baity and sensationalistic, but I couldn’t say that with any depth.

But I do think there is an irreconcilable conflict of interest when you want to publicize information AND make a profit from it. It’s been there for a long time, but the precision of analytics feedback has moved that conflict up a whole notch in the digital age.
These two observations can be synthesised into recognising that most people are poor at empathy and haven't seriously thought through the question of why other people do what they do (fun fact, a skill that can actually be practised by arguing about politics).

Most parents are probably bad at parenting, based on the observation that most people are bad at most things and there isn't much in the way of training available compared to the size of the task. But most youths are even worse parents and have wildly misunderstood the constraints, goals and threats involved.
I agree with the blunder part but only if he ends up failing to control ukraine. So long as he succeeds there, the russian people will lose big time but Putin will do just fine. But if he loses, I don't think he will leave peacefully but he will leave.
Of course and he had also surrounded himself with ex-FSB/KGB associates as well: Patrushev, Bortnikov, Naryshkin. His body guards are all FSB too, I think.

In his eyes, both FSB and the Army could do no wrong. And I think he may be realizing the "yes" men he surrounded himself from both of those agencies have been lying to him for years about the state of readiness, capabilities, and ability of those agencies.

Now will some of them try to sprinkle some Polonium-210 in his tea? At first I thought it was plausible, but now I don't know. They've been there for so long kissing each others asses killing Putin would be the end of them as well. But, somehow, I see the GRU doing it. They've been more of a wildcard in the past. At some point their children won't be able to get the diabetes or other medicine and they might start thinking thoughts like that.
I'm not completely sure if the answer is no but I have had difficulty finding anything like that.
That's a stretch given the context. A smart TV maker can put whatever they want in their own client software. They don't care what features Firefox and Google support.
I don't think downvotes/emojis work the same way as real life human feedback, at all. On places like reddit, downvotes more often than not incite anger or resentment in the recipient, whereas strong negative feedback in real life is a much more powerful form of feedback that can trigger embarrassment and shame, which at least can lead to self reflection. I's much easier to make a fool of yourself on reddit then in from of living, breathing people.
Your argument is basically myths and misconceptions don't exist, which seems pretty weak.

>That's not an argument that applies here, because Americans actually do buy stupidly big cars.
>" According to data from IHS Automotive, larger vehicles accounted for 63 percent of total US sales in 2013. Meanwhile, large vehicles only accounted for 25.4 percent of all vehicles sold outside the US during the same year."

"Larger" is doing some really heavy lifting, and that data is not capturing the large market share gains crossovers have made in the last decade.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/276506/change-in-us-car-...

45% of all vehicles sold in the US in mid 2020 to mid 2021 were crossovers, which are almost without exception based on a "small car" platform and have similar fuel efficiency numbers. You're finding data that has some arbitrary definition of "large" -- from what I can tell, IHS would count an Impreza as "small" and a Forester as "large", and that is completely worthless for backing up a claim that Americans overwhelmingly drive gas-guzzling vehicles. The shift in focus to crossovers in the strategy of large auto manufacturers active in the US is glaringly obvious and you not realizing this is either a matter of you not paying attention or just willfully ignoring it.

>You seem to be rather defensive about this though, so feel free to think whatever you like.

I'm not even disagreeing with you that it happened in some circumstances, I'm just saying that you're massively overselling the importance of it. It's hard to even engage with this; you just keep saying that there's verifiable instances of it that are as impactful as you're claiming, but then refuse to provide specific examples that might make me reconsider my position. If it's so easy to find info about, just link it and we can be on the same page.

>That may be what you wish to discuss - fine. You can have that discussion somewhere else, with someone else. It is feasible though - and necessary. Again, the fucking planet is burning.

If you're just going to straight-up make very, very debatable assertions (like reducing American car dependence in favor of public transit being feasible) with nothing to back it up, there's no discussion to be had here. We get that America is car dependent, that we should reduce carbon emissions, that the climate apocalypse is imminent, etc. so if we're just going to go over that ad nauseam we're just wasting our time.

It depends on the application. For some use cases, moving to a GPU makes total sense. However, if you have power constraints, form factor constraints, performance constraints or simply want to be in control of your own hardware, using an FPGA with Tensil may be a better option.
