We had exactly this attitude during the cold war lol. Nato's actions here are absolutely consistent with the principles of deterrence worked out during the cold war.

There's a reason there were endless proxy wars, guerrilla trainings, and secret arms supplying back then. Neither side would risk a direct conflict with the other, so they did all that instead.

You'll notice that's the exact same toolbox they're drawing on now. They didn't invent this shit for putin.
It's just seizing assets related to state terrorism.
>The same logic that works against the West has also been working against Putin: "what are you going to do about it; escalate into WW3?"

It's not so much that putin doesn't have the balls to escalate into WW3, it's that supplying weapons isn't considered very escalatory (for all sides involved), so putin is more likely to let it slide rather than escalate himself. It's not something that can universally extended (eg. to no fly zone or boots on the ground).

Most farmers kill beavers because they don't want to share the land. Beavers nearly went extinct in North America because of that,

Untrue. Just the gazillion of billions of acres of untamed land, too unusable or too far north (but still fine for beaverkind) makes this an impossible statement. There are literally areas of Canada, where beavers live, larger than some European countries, where no person has stepped in years.

Beyond that, there are endless tracts of mountains, in the US and Canada certainly, where there are no farms, just endless millions upon billions of acres of mountain, tree, river, untouched.

The only thing which could have caused the potential extinction of beaver, would be trapping for pelts, something not really done in serious quantity for 150 years.

And in the time prior to that, there were not enough people, certainly in Canada, to trap beaver to extinction.

Only local regions had their beaver populations killed off by farmer. Any claim you hear/read otherwise is malarky.
I wasn't aware of that. Thank you
Jumping on to agree and add on to the parent suggestions by their list's numbers:

1) I agree the map takes up a lot screen space. Maybe do something like Yelp, where there are alternative views for map of events vs. events list.

2) In addition to allowing browsing specific events and groups.

5) Definitely agree with the current filters being confusing. Maybe a tagging system with a curated set of tags instead or in parallel to the categories might be better, to allow multiple tags per event. I also think having a very granular filtering system with a lot more filter options for things like number of attendees, number of shares, etc. could be important to users.

7) Agreed that making a recommendation system that's able to indicate popularity/importance/significance is a big, hard problem, but that it also could be a very attractive feature to users. Possibly you could have registered organizations "vote" to support other organization's events as one factor - it would help with spam and noise filtering.

Also, it would be good to have a policy statement about how you will handle controversy about events and organizations.

I really like the overall concept, and wish you luck!

I feel you. It’s horrible if you’ve grown up somewhere and suddenly can’t afford a home in the same spot.

But life’s unfair. Houses get sold to the highest bidder. This is what happens when everyone wants to live in the same areas. I’m not arguing that you SHOULDNT be able to afford a home in your preferred spot. I’m observing that it’s IMPOSSIBLE for everyone to own property in their preferred spot within their budget.

You can still rent, or buy cheaper homes in cheaper areas in your city.

We can’t just will affordable housing into existence when ~97% of people live on ~3% of the land.
You make it sound like it's completely arbitrary whereas it isn't. I feel like the only conflict might be what helps neuroatypical people might be different than what helps deaf people or what helps blind people, etc. Unfortunately, "disability" is a very broad term an encompasses hosts of people. That said, the "churn" of "opinions" on what helps disabled folks is nowhere near as arbitrary as whatever new hot stuff js framework is out there and yet you people keep up with all that somehow.
That's basically the predicament the entire world has been in ever since the first nuke was developed. It's just that no nuclear power has quite passed a line that another nuclear power isn't willing to accept. If what you said above were to happen we're basically in uncharted territory.

I'd step out on a limb and say maybe the best move is to let the aggressors take whatever they want, nobody really knows.
One thing this article doesn't mention, which I had mentioned on the previous thread, is that this really feels like 'false advertising' was used because they couldn't make 'copyright violation' stick. If so, this is the exact opposite of a victory for OSI, as the court judged in favor of the guys making things not-open-source and against the guys trying to make it open-source.
It's 100% Soros's fault and he probably should have been jailed for it.

A nation was pursuing an economic policy towards harmonising their economy with that of another - a very nuanced process. Like two ships lining up so that one could supply the other.

That it makes an economy possibly more vulnerable to external issues (like a giant wave) is true, but it's a necessary condition that ostensibly has future benefits of economic alignment (i.e. ships being resupplied worth some risk).

Soros is a thief, a pirate, like any other - he came a long and created enormous risk, extracted billions into his fat pocket which would otherwise be in public coffers, and didn't create a dime in value for anyone, it's a zero sum game in which he ran off with riches learning everyone else poorer. It's cockroach capitalism of the worst kind.
My friend got a generator recently that wouldn't work unless connected to wifi, which he didn't have onsite because it was his cabin in the middle of nowhere. He had to call customer service which gave him a PIN to enter on the generator to bypass the requirement.
The best model I've read about this is to separate feedback loops into two categories:

Problem Discovery - listen to users to understand where they struggle, but ignore their proposed solution and desires (except to the point it helps you understand the problem they are attempting to communicate).

Solution Discovery - design a solution that addresses the problem, and validate it with real usage. Importantly not just talking, but users need to actually try it out.

It is not valid to say that the value of an open web trumps the value of people being able to use the open web.
IMO the contrast is the hardest thing to get right. I’m not sure if that’s built into the minimum standards or not but it’s going to seriously mess with peoples designs.
I think the argument is that EVs will require vastly less maintenance, which makes sense on paper. I'm not sure how well that will bear out in the near to mid term, though, as these are new designs which haven't been put through the paces yet.

It's a pretty big transportation sector we're talking about (half a million of these buses in the US), so it will not be a fast transition and early adopters will be paying higher costs than later ones to iron out the kinks. Most districts are probably waiting for someone else to try it out first.
This NTSB PSA video explains it like "eggs in a carton" [0], but those bus seats look like regular benches, zero molding for an actual fit, like an egg would have inside a carton from all sides.

Berkeley is a terrible example, if you have ever read DoJ’s findings.

Berkeley had university resources available for teachers to assist with making accessible content, as well as policies in place requiring accessibility. Professors chose not to follow those policies or make use of those resources.

Never mind the fact that regardless of where Berkeley hosts/distributes the content, they are a publicly funded institution and still need to make the content accessible even if not distributed to the public.

In other words, they pulled the content down out of spite, not necessity. That is not the fault of laws requiring disabilities, that’s a toddler having a temper tantrum.
Consider this an arrest, rather than imprisonment. We don't have to prove a man with blood on his hands is the murderer before we arrest him, that comes later.

People are dying every day -- obviously lawsuits and criminal trials take years in complex cases. A lot more people would be dead by then. Our goal in the immediate term is to stop the war. One of the strongest non-kinetic tools we have for that is these sanctions.

When the war ends, then we can figure out due process... for these guys hundred million dollar yachts. I'm sure they can live without a cruise to a resort island in the mean time while we try to save lives in Mariupol.
It would significantly expand taxes, and that nearly always faces stiff opposition with voters. Especially when it is an open-ended increase.
> It's not so much that putin doesn't have the balls to escalate into WW3, it's that supplying weapons isn't considered very escalatory

It wasn't seen as too likely to effect the conflict, but as the conflict drags out it becomes a greater irritant. Russia is recently openly threatening to attack “supply lines” of those arms if they continue; since anything in Ukraine is already clearly subject to attack this at least implicitly is a threat to potentially attack convoys and logistics points outside of Ukraine.

If you are providing a service it should be accessible. If you are using a fancy API that is not accessible (yet) you should provide a fallback, or—better yet—use the fancy API to progressively enhance the service.

If, however, you are making a fun little game which relies on Web Audio API, and there is no point in playing the game without headphones, then your good. The line is pretty obvious in most cases. Or at least you—as a web developer—should know it when you see it.
Part of growing up is, to accept that at one point you will be responsible for your own fate, your own mishaps, your own corruption and that hate of foreigners, disguised as "anti-colonialism" to distract from all your failures is not saving you in the long run.
The only component of the battery which contains Lithium is the cathode, which according to the article you linked is a little less than 1/3 of the material cost, or around 20% of the total cost. The battery chemistry which contains the most Lithium is Lithium Cobalt Oxide, which by weight is approximately 7% Lithium and 60% Cobalt. Even though Lithium is vastly more expensive than Cobalt, Cobalt still accounts for the majority of the cathode material cost. So it seems like Lithium accounts for at most 10% of the cost of the battery.
The pandemic is never going to "end" so why oscillate between exclusively on-site and exclusively WFH?

and why, as an manager, take on that kind of liability unless you absolutely need people to be on-site?

Reminds me of an anecdote where a guy was working at a UPS near 9/11 ground zero and the manager tried to stop them from leaving work.

Is it just the Will to Power? or am I missing some convincing opinion pieces in The Economist or FT? I'm so genuinely curious about why a manager would be compelled to insist on on-site.

Cynically, I know it's easier to switch jobs if both are WFH... Would hate to think that Big Tech companies conspire to jointly enforce on-site (as an addendum to that infamous no-poaching agreement).

Hmm. Tufte does note that one of PPs specific ailments is the linear nature of the presentation, but he also goes directly for bulleted lists. He pretty clearly takes down deeply indented bulleted lists as the internal structure of "The Software Bureaucracy" leaking out through the software.

I think the salient argument is his argument that the CONTENT should drive the presentation style. Lists are good for some stuff, but not everything.
> 186 kLoC of hand-written assembly

That's for x86_64(SSE3, AVX2), ARMv7 and ARMv8 right? Is the 186kLoC equally distributed between those arch or is there one arch that has most of the optimization focus?

Is it all hand-written, or do you have some kind of script/macros to create a good part of this assembly (like OpenSSL does IIRC)?
I'd expect finger length and even ratio between them to play an important role.

I was talking with a friend about how he had issues reaching some keys which seem easy to reach for me. And I don't think I have particularly big hands, I can't reach any F key if my fingers are on the home row. I can barely reach 4 and 8, but it's uncomfortable.
>Everyone wants to call themselves a liberal or progressive nowadays, it's bizarre.

Thats just the scam the corporate left likes to play. They love to be super "progressive" while actually performing nothing progressive other than performance art.

It costs nothing to call yourself "progressive". Hell I bet Trump has probably called himself "progressive" ha ha.

Like you said, its actions that matter. If you look at that, essentially the elected progressives in this country trend towards 0.

At the very least I’m glad more private companies are exploring ways to provide their employees with liquidity.

Issues I can foresee:

- Price, as determined by a third party, is going to be BS. There is a reason we use markets for price determination. They’re not perfect but markets are the most efficient mechanism we have.

- Fewer employees with huge returns. This may or may not be a problem depending on your perspective. This type of system incentivises employees to lock in gains and sell their shares when they see reasonably growth. That’s also a lost opportunity for the future if the share price continues to grow. If you see a 10x increase in the price, you’re likely to sell. The share price could continue to grow by another 100x and you would mostly miss out in that case. In the most optimistic case for private companies, the lack of liquidity is a _good_ thing. You can only sell your shares at IPO when there has been more than 1000x return since seed stage.

I can see this being a huge positive for hiring though. If I was considering multiple AV companies for roles, this would be a huge plus point for Cruise.

The WCAG guidelines do a good job of answering questions like these, in my experience.

Regarding resizing text, the WCAG guidelines provide the following example of a website that meets the standards: "A user uses a zoom function in his user agent to change the scale of the content. All the content scales uniformly, and the user agent provides scroll bars, if necessary."

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/resize-text.html

(There is also a note under the guideline that due to widespread confusion on this specific rule, as long as you meet the basic criteria listed under "sufficient techniques" you are considered OK.)

> Does "use an extension for your user-agent to swap out the CSS" count?

Yes: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/general/G156

> What is a flash? What is an anything?

A flash is "a pair of opposing changes in relative luminance that can cause seizures in some people if it is large enough and in the right frequency range" according to the definitions listed here, along with links to more detailed explanations and examples:

The difference between these two is that one of them is creating internment camps for innocent people, and the other is taking the wealth of people who enabled genocide to help victims.

Honestly I don't really see the dystopia here. Telegram refused to comply with legal court orders, and as a result the app can't operate in the country.

Honestly to me this is less dystopian than having unaccountable business wholesale ignore the laws of a nation state, which Telegram seems to do just about anywhere. Not sure since when literally following the law qualified as authoritarianism.

That’s really interesting. I’ve recently been thrown into a role that requires lots of structured writing.

Could you elaborate on your process for outlining? What level of detail do you go into? Do you nest bullets or stick to one top-level list? Do you try to lay out the substance of your argument?

I’d be interested in reading anything you’d recommend on the subject, too. Always appreciate hearing from people who do this on the daily.
> A catastrophe that ends human history would destroy the vast future that humanity would otherwise have. And it would be horrific for those who will be alive at that time. The people who live then will be just as real as you or me. They will exist, they just don’t exist yet. They will feel the sun on their skin and they will enjoy a swim in the sea. They will have the same hopes, they will feel the same pain.

I agree with the idea of preserving opportunity in the future, but the way it is posed in this article is strange. It treats these unborn billions as if they exist right now, and to change the future is to betray them. Focusing so much on the number of unborn people also makes it seem like the author thinks a larger world population is inherently better, morally better. Say the world population instead stabilizes at six billion by the year 2700. That leads to trillions less people being born than in the author's scenario. Is that a lost world? Would the people alive then care?
I suggest reading back your own past comments for a quick reality check:

> There is basically no escalation from Russia. [...].
It is just convenient (Biden's domestic issues/Nordstream 2/other unknown reasons) to claim imminent invasion and the media is incentivised to fuel that narrative since it seems to have captured the attention of the populace at large (perhaps based on the Russophobia that is prevalent in mainstream media).

Maybe it's time to be extra aware of your own biases against Russia, NATO, mainstream media...
I mostly agree… but one thing:

> And what's the price to fix it?

I’m currently doing accessibility work with an in-house web framework of reasonable complexity. 90% of the accessibility issues are relatively straightforwards. Things like keyboard usability are easy to explain to devs and behave fairly consistently across browsers.

But the last 10%… things like “what should happen to focus when you open a modal?” get messier fast (the ARIA docs give several different behaviours for several different scenarios, which means every dev who wants to open a modal needs to understand enough to correctly select the behaviour for their circumstance), especially since different screen readers can behave in different ways when encountering the same content. The cost to investigate and properly solve these can be nontrivial.

That’s not to excuse people who don’t even try for that first 80-90% of the low hanging fruit… but please forgive the designers and devs who fall short of the last 10%!
