Russia is a paper bear, it makes up on quality with quantity but it's a vastly unpopulated country with an old population. Morale is low, equipment is old and in poor shape. Russia is an empire and have a large share of it's forces tied down to inner tensions and can't be employed. The gross of Russians soldiers are composed by ethnic and and poor soldiers thus some are more interested in stealing than fighting. Also Russian forces haven't been significantly employed in the last decades. It's no secret that poor equipped but combat experienced militia from Donbass/Lugansk are being more effective than better equipped and trained Russian forces.

That's an interesting reaction. My read of the post was that he wants to help his wife do what she wants to do. Your read appears to be that he is forcing her to do something when she really wants to stay at home.

Do you naturally assume that all mothers want to stay at home with their children full time?
I see you are a stalwart defender of JavaScript :)

> Web after widespread JavaScript was strictly more usable for
non-technical people.

I suppose that's true. The "web" now has more reach, and generally
user interfaces have improved, and JavaScript has had many positive
effects on that improvement. But none of these things are necessarily
causative, and may be more or less coincidences along the timeline.

JavaScript solves some issues to do with presentation, and allowing
web browsers to compute things instead of needing a server to. It also
allows dangerous security holes, browser malware, spying on the user
and a host of "bad things". So whether the overall experience is an
"improvement" cannot be easily argued.

There are some "Web Applications" like browser based videoconferencing
that would be impossible without JavaScript. Whether these belong "in
the browser" is debatable. However the misuse of JavaScript to lazily
construct or decorate web content is a growing problem that is
denounced by all sorts of people, including web developers and
ordinary users who find their pages take ages to load, or function
sporadically, or leak information.

Have you used Gemini? Give it a try. Many non-technical people find it
very "usable" and it is a technology on-par with Web 1.0 in many ways.

> Generally I see the anti-Web2.0 digital vegan perspectives to be
about opposing JavaScript.

:) The DV arguments are much bigger and broader than JavaScript. But
to put it in that context for you; most people like myself argue that
JavaScript and other "web technologies" have transformed it into
something that isn't the web any longer. It doesn't function as an
information publishing and distribution system. It's still called "The
Web" by dint of evolutionary lineage, but in reality has transformed
into something unrecognisable (a surveillance engine and content
pushing system). The simple, safe and widely understood function
(that some here are calling Web 1.0) is now forced to live alongside
something else with no clear boundaries or distinctions between them,
and no sense of what parts of that technology are operating when you
visit a site. This is very bad for everyone regardless of the
usability gains obtained. I hope that makes sense.
My understanding was that they still want to hoover up that sweet sweet preferences data (of which dislike is a useful metric). It's just not going to be exposed externally.

Art is hard to define. Is a banana duct-taped to a wall (and later eaten), art? It sold for $120k I believe. It doesn't get lower effort than that.

Maybe the "art" here is in fact the scam. I find it artistic, at least. At the same time, it can be about making money.

Every place I’ve worked at in the last 15 years has been better represented by Asian women in all levels of IC and management than European-descended women. At the current job, the only European I’m aware of is trans. Just one data point. They may or may not feel they have a future or good prospects, I have not asked. But they stay on the job and some get promoted.

Curious about other places. I didn’t think these employers were anything special.
As Kerbal Space Program has taught me, it’s all very well reaching ballistic apogee but you need to apply thrust again at apogee to circularize orbit (raise your perigee to the same altitude as you are right now.) Otherwise you’ll just come straight back down again.

I agree with you that the video could be more detailed on some of the technical analysis. However it raises enough technical arguments, to justify any approach to SpinLaunch to be done in private and with a very skeptical attitude.
Scott Manley also put out a video on Spinlaunch:

Honestly, I could see this working really well for lots of things which require deep focus. Even for programming without external distractions part of me thinks this would be absolutely wonderful.
In Inflex decimals are not floating point, they’re fixed precision. So 0.1+0.2=0.3 produces #true. You can try by hitting the Formula button here: https://inflex.io/try

RE the grid I agree completely, I have a blog post about it: https://inflex.io/blog/whats-wrong-with-the-grid

I’ve considered adding floating points as an optional advanced feature, but on the other hand, unums might also be a better approximate number type.

Also, unlike Ruby, string literals are usually interned in CPython (I think below a certain size), so they have at least some of the performance benefits of symbols in Ruby.
And what about the unregulated supply chain for those goods? Do you know they’re actually higher quality? How do you know they’re not just buying the cheapest thing from Mexico or the passed over produce from a local farmer and hawking it to you at premium prices?

> Staking pays all stakers out proportional to their stake, which is as fair as is possible, and more fair than PoW. Distributed staking pools lower the barrier to entry to 0.01 ETH.

This doesn't change the economics of what I said, which are about opportunity cost of staking vs. spending.

> Ethereum will still be printing ETH in perpetuity; it only becomes deflationary whenever more is burned than printed.

I understand this. But what I've been hearing from ETH holders forever now, is that ETH will be going deflationary. As in, burning more ETH than printing is something will definitely be happening. It's the bedrock of the flipping narrative.
I totally understand where they are coming from and trend in that direction of thought, but I also have a brain. :)

Nuance is important. It's just that younger lefty folks aren't used to having to use nuance on this particular topic.
Wow, I didn't know that. By the way, the first piece in the article is titled "Bernie Sanders Pledges the US Won’t Be No. 1 in Incarceration. He’ll Need to Release Lots of Criminals".

Always measure. I use Lua at $job, where it's processing millions of SIP messages (text! Lots of parsing) in real time (it's part of the call processing flow), and over the past seven years or so, I've only had to tune the code once in that time (maybe two, three years ago now?).
This comment is really weird. It's written as though it's correcting an incorrect assumption in the parent. But it's literally confirming what the parent said.

Parent: russia is almost 30x the size of ukraine

This comment: what?! you're confused by russian propaganda! it's only 2733% larger than ukraine

And then, even if you adjust to claim that you were trying to reinforce parent's point, that's not plausible either since parent was actually pointing out that people's belief that russia was 10x bigger was actually a large underestimate of its size.

You don't need a prison, many kinds of retreats (not just religious or spiritual, but artists and writers retreats and others) often are "tech-free" (which may be partial or total, though usually at least internet free).

With the extremely limited resources of earth we can't just throw something into space without knowing if there could be any future use.

Agree. The way I see it, not being in my 20s is an edge, not a liability. I don't have to suffer all the things young people are about to because I've already been through that part of my life. There's a lot you don't have to worry about any more once you get to the other side of it. Plus, I've had plenty of years to make mistakes and have a better sense of who I am (and who I'm not) and what I want (and what I emphatically don't) than ever. In my 20's everything was about screwing and appearances and destroying the old; now it's all about Love, Beauty, and Creation.

There's just no question to me—life really doesn't even begin to be amazing until all the noise quiets down sometime in the 30s–40s. That stage is important, we NEED to burn hot through that period and it's important, but it's by absolutely no means whatsoever some kind of "peak"—that idea is so much bullshit.

If there is such a thing as a "peak", I feel like it's probably more accurately something like the 50s, with a long tail through the 60s and beyond. Those decades make up (imo) the window where you can bring all the things you've lived to bear and live the culmination of all your insights—powerful stuff.
You're saying there are no TikToks dedicated to wisdom?! Impossible.
Everybody's body is different. You've got to go and try them out.

I've got a Herman Miller Embody and Steelcase Leap: they are both great chairs, but neither is perfect. Embody has a completely fluid motion of the back, but it tilts the seat's front a bit too much up when leaning back (and it creaks a bit after couple of years). Steelcase Leap doesn't have the seat's front tilt problem, but the back doesn't move as nicely and setting up the tension is kinda hard to get right. It also has a more nicely padded seat, but it also gets much warmer.

Though I got Steelcase Leap last year because of the niggles with Embody, I still prefer Embody for daily sitting (not that Leap is bad, I am not bothered when I sit in it either, I just prefer the back movement of Embody, and reduced sweating too). I also like to combine it with standing at least for video calls.

Now, this is a perspective of a 6'5" (195cm), 97kg guy with a particular set of proportions and body weight distribution (and lumbar issues): nobody will have exactly the same experience with these chairs. Unfortunately, the best you can do is to get a chair and try sitting in it for a week: no sitting in the store and outside of your work environment will let you learn if it works for you or not (which is why I got the Leap outright).

If you are not in the 5% of the undersized or oversized people, and your limbs and torso proportions are close to average, any of the well-known and well-reviewed ergonomic chairs should do the job (Aeron's seat frame cut into my thighs, even in the largest C size, but obviously it works for most people).

The combination of high and very low prices also stuck out to me. I agree it’s interesting, but I personally don’t mind it. It’s not a bad progressive model to have people who aren’t price-sensitive subsidize people who are.

I was thinking about something like Dante, AES50, AES67, AVB, Ultranet, Ravenna or any other of those professional Audio over Ethernet standards out there.

Those are working and used in live venues and studios, the hardware used for those might however be out of scope in terms of price for the typical user and it certainly won't work with your smart speaker.

Does that smart speaker have line in (3.5 mm TRS)? If so you could just send your audio analog over the ethernet cable and build an ethernet to TRS adapter on the other end : )
For longer distances balanced line drivers might be needed, tho.

But shielded Ethernet cables work surprisingly well for analog audio purposes, especially if you send balanced signals through them. If you transformer-balance them you even get galvanic isolation for free.
Is this the "ratio" I hear people talk about?

I understand the idea but it feels a little too online for my taste. I'm probably not the target audience. Just feels like someone decided the tea leaves falling a certain way MUST indicate something.
This is the key observation that isn't obvious about fusion. The capture cross-section is smaller than the scattering cross-section, so essentially any beam design is doomed to fail.

I'm an experimental physicist who recently looked hard at jumping into the fusion game. My approximate conclusion is that anything that doesn't involve some form of adiabatically heated plasma is extremely unlikely to work.

Fusion is an efficiency and engineering problem: how can you ensure that each particle gets enough energetic collisions to have a prayer of fusing before it loses energy?
Note: this is the current model list. The new proposed AML that the FAA is supposedly about to sign off includes all engines approved for 100LL.
Go into curriculum development. Work for Wiley or Pearson or someone like that.

Fair enough. But you are basically agreeing with me that those with non-trivial positive net worth in their youth will find multiplying it by several thousand times harder.

And we should rule out massive inheritance to be fair, too. That can cause sudden large jumps in net worth.

A person having 10 000 USD in their youth (far from wealthy, just not poor) would need to aggregate something like 50 million USD in their fifties. Possible, but rare.
What is their fair share?
No, the difference is that in America, the news media report on these things which are horrible and embarrassing to our country, so that the people can know and fight to improve things. In China, everything embarrassing to the CCP is instantly censored to present a sanitized reality where all behavior displeasing to the CCP does not exist.

Just like how most Russians think Russia is liberating Ukraine in a "special military operation" and the indiscriminately massacring of civilians is airbrushed away.

Only criminals censor the media.
I'm relatively confident that a whitelist bypass like that has been impossible since Minecraft 1.3. (2013 ish). The login handshake for an online-mode (authentication enabled) server involves a three way communication between the client, the server, and Mojang's auth server, which basically involves the client telling the server "hey, I'd like to join", then the server acknowledging, the client telling Mojang "hey, I'm attempting to connect to this particular server" here are my login credentials", then telling the server "hey, I go ask Mojang, I'm trying to connect", and then the server checking with Mojang that this given user is trying to connect to this particular server, then establishing an encrypted connection to the client.
Which Twitter are you using? Pick up any conservative YouTube video talking about social media and you'll see plenty of examples.

One example that comes to mind is Hunter Biden's laptop (recently confirmed as true, even by left wing publications) being censured vs all the Trump's Russian allegations (which didn't go anywhere) which weren't.
It feels trite to think it, but I do wonder every time someone asks about lack of meaning and purpose; have you read classics, philosophy, and history?

I don’t think they can solve these problems for people, but a general interest and survey of works in that direction should be completed by the mid-20s as a pre-requisite to avoiding existential despair.
I think you hit the nail on the head. A good therapist will point this out as well.

The OP's entire self identity is wrapped up in their career - which explains, also, their great success. It's a common ailment in high pressure, high money industries, and especially common in tech. And now, the inevitable existential crisis when that is over - what now? They spent 20-30 years doing nothing but focusing on their job, and tying their self-worth to external validation.

I think what a therapist would say is to focus on yourself rather than extrinsic rewards. You need to learn to be happy with yourself and not rely on validation of others or society to do that for you. Finding a hobby that gives you a lot of personal satisfaction is one approach.

It's amazing that someone can be better informed by purely reading Ukrainian official propaganda than by reading independent news agencies like Reuters. The first has incentives to not lie as to not lose international support while the latter for the sake of being impartial while being unable to verify what's really going on has to take Russian propaganda (which is vastly misinformation) at face value.
Do we have to accept that MEV is a problem? Just because it's been a tactic used in the shadows with traditional finance doesn't mean it's a problem in an open ecosystem where anyone willing to pay can play. There isn't some shadow elite funding a central government here lobbying for restrictive legislation to keep competition at arms length. In my opinion the crypto ecosystem in general is much more understanding and capable of finding ways to distribute information and trust, which prevents this from becoming a bad thing like we see in traditional finance.
My 2c: not all therapies are the same...

The Guardian reporting misleading headlines…as usual. The claimed 3.4% tax rate comes from calculating how much taxes they paid as a percentage of their net worth increase, not income.

You can make a valid argument that the way ultra-wealthy people are taxed isn’t fair and that unrealized stock/other investments appreciation should be regarded as income…but it isn’t as of now, making this headline at least misleading and at worse an outright lie.
