Third paragraph of the article has a JKR quote directly referencing rape.

Not sure if it backs up the original "freaking out about..." claim, but maybe "by placing undue emphasis, perpetuates the narrative that...".
Heh this was the 335d, so a nock sensor would’ve definitely been throwing fault codes if it had one ;)

There was often a combination of about 3-4 errors that would occur when it went into limp mode. To this day I’m not actually sure if replacing the pedal would’ve fixed it and I think off memory, it was a 220$ experiment to find out.

Start Wars, at least episode III, meaning the first one, is clearly structured around the hero's journey, a story archetype that has been around since time immemorial, in every culture on earth. A story that old and enduring must resonate deeply with something deep and true about the human condition and a talented director cannot help but be successful by retelling it skillfully. Many modern movies eschew any such ballast . Instead the weapons of choice are technical prowess, amygdala hacking and the parroting of the ideological fad of the day. Needless to say nothing inspiring comes out of these efforts and in a generation no one will watch these things.

God, what a simplistic model he's got. Putin is probably on his way to defeat, but it's a long way and IMO we might get a few nuked out cities before that happens. If Europe chickens out then he could be the winner, holding everyone hostage with his finger on the red button in a "Pax Russianus".

> 7. Putin will not survive the defeat of his army. He gets support because he is perceived to be a strongman; what does he have to offer once he demonstrates incompetence and is stripped of his coercive power?

The way I see it, he's a mafia boss with everyone under him (the military, the police) under his control. It feels like everyone under him is dedicated to the "Make Russia Great Again" cause. If someone takes him out, the new guy will still be a strongman with a big army and nukes, so what's the point? If someone takes him out and offers peace, US/EU/NATO will want a huge armistice (a bit like Germany after WW2) before they'd restore the economic relationship, and if the new guy accepts that sort of conquering, there'll be plenty of people from the "Long Live Russia" side ready to take him out.

I'm not sure I believe any of this beyond the fact that the west's "reserve" has at least kept the conflict from extending beyond Ukraine's borders. If the war ended with Russia pulling out of Ukraine tomorrow, it's my opinion that the sanctions should last until there's a complete overhaul of the Russian government - we don't want this happening every five years!

> But some are an assault on reason, with every word of the assignment creatively misinterpreted. It was never stated which temperature circuit to build or how to prove it works or what level of explanation was necessary. And who’s to say what “build” means?

You have to think like a software engineer. Test first: write the requirements fro the perspective of a test which fails if the requirements are not met.

Rather than dictating irrelevant details of the apparatus that is to be made during the assignment, describe a procedure by which it can be verified to meet the requirements.

"Build a temperature monitor circuit.": what is it monitoring: the temperature of what? Where is that taken? What is the output? Decimal temperature in Celsius to the tenth of a degree? In what range? Or else is there just a control output: is there a hysteresis to turn something on and off like a thermostat? Etc.

"Test it to prove it works." That's a poor way of giving requirements. You need specific test cases. You may have to have specialized equipment on hand that the students can use, like a controlled source of reference temperature.
I upvoted both you and Buldak because I'm certain there's something to what you're saying. Few things are monocausal or completely explained by one factor. And surely these modern filmmaking tropes feedback on themselves and reinforce prevailing styles. Mine isn't any kind of grand unifying theory. I just think it's a factor.
I didn't get you; steer clear of who - the teacher or the student?
EasyOrg looks interesting. I'm the developer of BrainTool, a browser bookmarking tool using an accessible org-mode file as backing store. I've long thought that org-mode needs an easy onramp. The copyright and blog entries ended in 2020, is it still under active development? (BTW the Twitter and Medium links point back to the homepage)

I could see users using EasyOrg in combination with BrainTool in the same manner as currently works with LogSeq[0]. How would you compare the two?

> Then when TAing with him I saw how students could creatively misinterpret instructions, even when I could not imagine how to make them more precise.

The best part is if you do make it more precise by specifying the problem in more detail, they will just not read it and ask questions that you answered explicitly in the assignment.
Putin is doing everything he can to avoid conscription, which would put Russia's view of the war in more precarious situation

He's even trying to recruit African mercenaries:

It funny that he head of the Palestinian party in the Israel coalition disagrees with you...

In my opinion what is interesting is that the oppressed people have preserved democracy in the face of constant war and even provided full right to the partly that 5 times attacked them, current coalition consists of Arab parties.
As far as I can tell (not a hunter myself), getting shot through center mass seems like one of those least miserable ways that an animal can die in the wild. Starvation, disease, or being torn apart by a coyote all seem like worse and slower deaths.
Early on, when I found HN and began to participate beyond reading, this subject came up.

"why do you write like that?"

Saw that question a few times, and probably answered it a time or two with this kind of information. I would have most likely said something about readability and style preference. Both are true today.

And there is one other subtle observation that may be germane:

There is a difference between writing in the text input window directly and doing the same thing elsewhere, then copy pasting it into the text input window. In terms of your experience, nothing changes. Some rando and ideally, normie, or not nefarious at a minimum, person on the Internet input some text for you to potentially read.

On the writers end, and for me in particular, it's subtle but using the window directly seems more immediate, live, raw. Essentially, it feels a bit more like writing to you, even though it's really a public discussion where any passersby can and do read and optionally participate. Technically, it is all the same. Request input session or use one provided in advance, type on keyboard, use various controls to finalize and communicate the input, done, next.

Context really does seem to matter.

A similar thing happens when I fire up a very old computer. Sometimes I will choose to write on my old Apple //e and a bit different voice comes out, sometimes notably. That machine comes with decades of context, memories, it's own lean UX, monospaced font, keyboard very different from most I use today, and in my case writing in the character display mode I prefer on that machine rather than in the general graphics mode where more font options are available.

I'm including this largely to support the idea of the strong UX differences possible today having implications very large numbers of us will not just ignore, but will also adapt to. And, of course, as a curio for those passersby who may find that all thought provoking.

This is such a wild take. It's like a state sponsored troll got hit in the head with a shovel, was hospitalised with Tucker Carlson running in the background, and then woke up 5 days ago and made an HN account.
This one annoys me a lot, and I blame Amazon. They seem to think that my purchase data is a monopoly for them to sell me ads on. And to be anti competitive, they have completely screwed up the UX for customers.

"Hi, it's Amazon. We have shipped your order #udid. But you need to sign in to the app on your phone, and click through multiple screens, to figure out which item it is. Because you know, it's a $35 billion ad business for us."

What happened to Amazon always being consumer first?

Update: If Amazon offered a setting ("display item details in email?"), I would have no complaints. They can default to opt-out, and give it some self serving Apple-esque bullshit name like "Protect your data from third parties", I would be okay with all that.
Classic action movies of the 80s often had very flat good-at-everything male heroes. What weaknesses does John McClain ever show in Die Hard? Vulnerability to walking barefoot on broken glass I guess, not much.

There are obviously exceptions, but generally action movies don't have very interesting characters.

Maybe it's that software people are the majority on HN, and perhaps this statement can be true of CS majors, but it most definitely isn't true in general. It's also quite sad that so many people have apparently made so little of their time in college.

If you are studying chemistry for example, doing lab work with real equipment and reagents is absolutely essential for gaining basic competency.

If you want to actually, properly, learn and apply quantum field theory or the standard model of particle physics or other highly technical models, there is no substitute for face to face discussions with a true expert. In the US those experts reside almost exclusively at universities and national labs.

Universities also serve important and often less-appreciated roles in sustaining the government through both research and talent pipelines. The need to maintain these pipelines can itself be a major source of research funding (the department of homeland security's SSAP program for example).

I read the title and assumed Fukuyama would be humbly accepting the "defeat" of his "end of history" vision for a unipolar world...

> 1. Russia is heading for an outright defeat in Ukraine.

LOL
An interesting development in the past few days is that both sides have been testing how far they can take escalation. For example Russia has stated that arming the Ukrainians would be seen as an act of war, but numerous NATO countries have done so anyway and nothing more than strong words has followed. It is also widely accepted that NATO has been supplying the Ukrainians with satellite imagery and the like. OTOH, straight up delivering extra fighter jets or enforcing a no-fly zone is seen as "too much" at the moment. I think the West have several escalation steps more they can get away with if they are careful. After all, what is Russia going to do about it other than starting a nuclear exchange with NATO? The cost to NATO will be extremely high but Putin can be sure he won't survive either and that is what the whole thing was about from the start.

It all looks very much like one of the "proxy wars" of the cold war era, only Russia forgot to do it by proxy this time.

I agree with every point he makes. Fantastic summary.

I think the Russian collapse will be like what scientists call a phase transition: a semblance of stability one day, a complete breakdown one (literal) day later. Ukraine will end up holding more than 100k POWs. The only negotiations will Russia will be about reparations. I hope they don’t settle for anything less than one trillion.
Probably true that most payments still go through traditional payment rails. Crypto is still an emerging technology and most people don’t own crypto.

I still find it interesting to know that one can pay for a Big Mac or a Latte using stablecoins as an option in Korea.
The title is deceptive- Fukuyama, writing from Northern Macedonia, has an extremely optimistic view that Russia will be "defeated" and Putin will fall- notwithstanding enormous, catastrophic losses for Ukraine- with significant downstream implications.

The two subpoints with which I agree are that the NATO decision on the MiGs was wise, and that neither Russia nor Ukraine can climb down from their positions.

My expectation is that of a long hot/cold standoff, eventual splitting of Ukraine, and gradual North Koreanification of Russia with Putin at the helm.

Cancelling a ride destroys the entire system. It can’t be allowed otherwise what’s the point if drivers can pick and choose their rides? The point is they should be compensated fairly for it. If they simply don’t want to drive someplace then they should stop driving for the platform.

Taxi drivers have the exact same rule. Taxi drivers aren’t allowed to reject rides once you’re inside.
One of the very few things I miss about social media is seeing HONY posts appear in the newsfeed. They were always a delightful and authentic highlight amidst a sea of forgettable posts filled with superficial drama, misery and cynicism.

I think captain marvel is an interesting one on this note. It is a problem in recent films that writers want to overpower women to make things fair, and they do a disservice to the women by doing so.

Captain marvel seems to address this directly and in a more mature way. Her character does start weak. She is shown losing repeated to her officer in physical fights and feeling inferior. Later she becomes the most powerful person the MCU has ever seen and the officer turns out to be evil.

The climax of captain marvel's character arc in her movie is him trying to bait her into fighting him on fair, unpowered terms and she basically says fuck you and blasts him with a laser. It's not explicitly a gender thing, but making a firm statement that she isn't intrinsically better than the guy without her powers but that she won't be defined by those metrics. It felt like a much better way to handle this message.

Being explicit that other people's (traditional male) competencies don't get to define your self worth.

It's a flip on the "Let's Fight Like Gentlemen" movie trope and frankly I thought it was a solid message which helped avoid this narrative pitfall even though captain marvel herself is by far the most overpowered female example of late.
Do you believe that means Lula had no responsibility and is innocent, or even that he's capable enough to run the country despite the fact this scandal happened right under his nose, even if he didn't explicitly participate?
> What you’re supporting is the definition of NIMBYism. It’s a tax on other people doing things you don’t like and it’s not happening to you so it’s okay.

how do you know I wouldn't support it? I would never buy that truck ever so of course I wouldn't need to pay a tax for it... I also support a 20% airfare tax. because I don't fly a lot. because I don't want to. because it's bad...

I would support insanely radical climate austerity measures imposed on my treasured way of life. I truly am ready to give up a lot if society starts moving in lockstep to face the future.

if only there were politicians willing to do so. but NIMBYs make sure they'll never be elected. until, to your point, it is in their back yard.
this is true in the previous decades; post-dot-com boom and biotech growth, pro-sports prep, and aging boomers filling in the residences, not as much.

Is that not precisely the logic the resulted in the rise of the Nazis? Let’s not forget too that sanctions are themselves an means of conducting warfare. Additionally if Russian withdrawal isn’t met by a relaxation of sanctions, what incentive is there for them to withdraw?

Edit - to the downvoters: after the central powers were defeated in WW1 some hefty penalties were levied on Germany in the treaty of Versailles. The idea was that they needed to be punished heavily otherwise they'd be tempted to rebuild and enter into another conflict that would consume Europe. Obviously that did not work.

I don't see how that definition is incompatible with what many of the gangs are doing to southern Texas and California.
This is a fairly terrible article. As anyone who's run a business knows, sometimes you have to let someone go not because you're in economic trouble, or because they're an axe murderer, but just because they're not the right leader for their position. It's not so much "summarily fired for poor performance" as "wrong person for the moment".
I wish for a day when if I have to fire someone, the organization that I am a part of has the combined advantage of insight, influence and capability to find alternatives for both the organization and the individual being fired.

I hope my organization has the insight to know where the person I am letting go would be a better fit in... and has the influence to recommend them there inside the organization or another one.

If the fired person is fit for no place of work in the or circle of influence in the current state of the organization, I hope we would still be able to provide support for them while giving them the opportunity to still engage in the orgaznization until they find an alternative... or find a useful opportunity inside when things change or when they they change i.e. acquire the skills that may be more useful to the organization.

I don't know how this can be made possible... i.e. what the organizational values that will be required to be able to achieve this while still being sustainable... or if government involvement is required and how can organizations fund tho government programs through taxes.
Many, many TAs are only doing it because it is required for their PhD program (either explicitly or in order to receive funding). Some of them still take the teaching duty seriously, but not all. Having a bad TA is not a good excuse for failing a class I agree, but in my experience most TAs are not looking at their feedback because they're really only in it for the research. And a decent portion of them would deserve the negative feedback.
They’re probably talking about RSUs at Big Tech, rather than startup options.
