If not being able to set a government of a neighboring country and completely controlling it is a security issue for Russia then maybe they should be the ones to rethink their security policy and ask themselves why so many neighboring countries want to align towards the west. That is a different ballpark than being under the control of west which implies that the west has somehow taken over Ukraine.

Your comment is ridiculously cynical and dehumanizing. It's disgusting to me how many people act like Ukrainian people have no agency by themselves and act like Russia was forced to do an invasion because they feel threatened by the west.
I would honestly start with his presentations, they are amazing:

The caste system is not "Hindu" in origin. According to some theories it may have originated after the Mongol invasions of India.
It's a fun novelty. You can find VHS for free at yard sales and other places. It often costs less to get a VHS than rent a movie on Amazon or something else.

CRTs in general are honestly superior in a number of a ways. They effectively have built-in anti-aliasing, they tend to have better color depth, and usually have better speakers than a flatscreen TV. They're also better for most retro video game systems. Where I am, you can also still get a decent number of CRT TVs for free.

I've also never understood the obsession with higher resolutions. Particularly in the case of old movies, films were not shot with the expectation that you could see every detail. Even when we still had a flatscreen we'd rent from Amazon at 480p just to save a dollar or two. Higher resolution doesn't really inherently look better in many cases. But, I'll definitely admit some newer movies will flash some text on screen sometimes that is hard to make out on an old CRT.

I guess my primary argument is not really that CRTs are so amazing (although they're better than people remember) -- but only that flatscreens are not really that great either. A great movie is a wonderful experience on either. Once you get into the film, the story, music, and characters really prevent you from fixating on pixels. We're not missing anything, and we haven't spent any money to support this hobby. In the case of VHS and DVD, old movies generally look better on a CRT. In the case of new movies, there is some compromise, but it usually doesn't matter.
> Ukraine under western control is a national security issue for Russia

It is. But this is a straw man. It’s always been. Ukraine hasn’t been seriously considered for NATO membership since 2008. Even its path to the EU was muddled at best.

Some effects of the war, e.g. Ukraine being flooded with Western weapons where it wasn’t before or Germany pivoting away from Russia, were unpredictable. But some, like the response in Finland and Sweden, or the Baltics’ remilitarisation, were.

Ukraine was and is falling under the control of the Ukrainians, and that remains the problem for Putin—not Russia.

You would want to store several weeks of energy so that you're prepared for once in a decade windstill cloudy freezing winter months without people freezing to death in their homes. How many weeks depends on how well your grid is interconnected and how much you've overprovisioned your generation capacity. But even one week worth of energy consumption is impractical to store in today's batteries.
This is the second game me and my daughter made, first one was https://punkjazz.org/programming-time/ and we really enjoy them both.

I've argued for this for years with my colleagues, and recently have changed my mind a bit, kinda.

The current dissemination regime breeds hype, for sure, but it's naive to think that getting rid of peer reviewed journals won't get rid of hype. In fact, it might make it worse. Journals don't hype, people do.

Does anyone think academic Twitter is a better system? That it's less susceptible to hype?

There's all sorts of things related to this. For example, I've noticed that the tendency of Google to stop returning results that are older than five years or so extends to many paper archive services. So what does that mean? If Google treats them differently, and you now have to rely on self-serving tweets to even know a paper exists, is that better? Is relying on monopolies like Google or Twitter good for science?

Scientific communication needs to change but I'm not sure what it needs to change into. Something decentralized or federated, something that allows for systematic revision and review but is open, something that is permanent and searchable.
The theoretical ability to falsify something (or to prove it) has no bearing on the realities of propaganda, extensive domain knowledge or the lack thereof, and how such positions are ultimately arrived at.

Namely, trust in the institutions.

How many facts that form the bedrock of your worldview have you, personally, verified? Have you, personally, walked down the chain of evidence for certain scientific (i.e. falsifiable) claims and personally attempted to falsify them?

I didn't think so.
While that is true. It is also true that many many companies are moving their ERP systems off unix
Yup. Inboard boats are stupid cheap to maintain if you DIY it. Unlike a car you can't drop a grand on a locking differential and then another grand on 37-spline axle shafts and then another three grand on a fancy transmission.

Even in saltwater any boat you can drag out of the water with a light truck is only going to be as expensive as you make it.

I think it kinda depends on your age. When I was in my twenties and thirties, and despite being a country lad, living in cities was highly desirable and I had a lot of good times and made some great long lasting friendships during that period.

In my forties I became less enamoured by city life and in my fifties, now living in a rural location and working remotely, if I never see the inside of a city again then that's fine by me.

I was curious too. Taken from [0], not my knowledge or opinions. (I'm new to all of this.)

- James Nestor - Breath:

"I love this book and it‘s more a kind of overview about different breathing systems and techniques. He writes about Wim Hof and also about Oxygen Advantage. It‘s a good starting point into the topic of breathing. Highly recommended."

"Breathe is like a pop sci intro to breathing. It covers a lot and not very deeply, but it is engaging, makes a good case, and have a few actionable things that have a larger payoff (mouth tape)."

- Patrick McKeown - Oxygen Advantage:

"The base of this book is the Buteyko method and Patrick follows a very scientific approach. He can explain all hows and whys without beeing to complicated. Also highly recommended. You will find breath holds and reduced breathing in different techniques. Focus is on sports and conditioning. Highly recommended."

"O2 Advantage goes a lot deeper and helps you systematically evaluate and improve your co2 tolerance and thereby improve your body's ability to use oxygen. If I only could recommend one of these three, it would be this one with Breathe as a close second (simply because it is so accessible). It gives clear guidelines, tests, and actionable steps to improve your breathing. It is a very useful book."

- Wim Hof - The Wim Hof Method:

"It’s basically about breathing, cold exposure and the mind. The breathing work is about overbreathing (hyperventilation) followed by a breathhold. There are times that I love it, but science is mostly against it. I guess nobody knows why this works. Pavel is against breath holds after hyperventilation by the way (SECOND WIND). But there are lots of people having success using the WHM. I can also recommend the newest book."

"Wim Hof. It mainly focuses on a intense breathing technique and cold exposure. I know a lot of people that swear by them. I've never had any benefits from them that I could tell. After talking to some people that were really into this, they pointed out that I'm way more stressed all the time than they are. Adding more stress when you are already at max doesn't exactly help and probably hurts (more info here). This is my least favorite of the three as it has a very narrow benefit and that benefit isn't applicable to a lot of people. since it is basically a book on how to increase stress levels through breathing and cold."

How would you solve this problem?
I thought HN crowd might enjoy noodling this. I am a commercial real estate broker working with a large developer in a major North American city. This is the type of prisoner's dilemma I face.

Let's say we try to assembly a lot that consists of 10 properties with different owners (different sized lots). Developers can pay around x per buildable square foot, and that amount is higher for each individual owner than what they could get if they are selling their property individually. The fair way to pay everyone is to divide total amount the land is worth to the developer proportionally by lot size to each owner.

This is the problem that always arises: people get greedy. Not everyone, but at least 2 out of these 10 owner will be unreasonable. If everyone, or enough people get greedy, it kills the deal. On the other hand people who are greedy and hold out get more than people who are more amiable. So, from the stand point of the owner who wants to maximize their proceeds being greedy works, but only if everyone else is not.

I only get paid if the deal closes. If you were me how would you approach this prisoner's dilemma from my side?

Let's start with I have amount M that the land is worth, I have 10 owners with different sized lots. Now what? I have a goal to buy up the 10 lots at M or below. What should my strategy be here? I have to tie all the lots at the same time (I have 60 days from the day the first property is tied up, to buy the last one).

Thank you for your thoughts!
I agree. Tho it also depends on how often it's a pure laptop, and how often it's a "desktop" with two larger primary monitors connected.

I'd probably opt for 1440p+, but given the rest and the price maybe not. For others, 1080 might be just fine.
I don't know. Tell us?

Besides, how is your "thought experiment" relevant to Ukraine?
Just from the title, it doesn't sound neither objective nor standing on solid argumentative ground :
1) Note the personalization of the war's name.
2) all the U.S wars were not ?

Citation please. How tested is this 'theory'. Caste gets a mention in Manusmriti .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manusmriti

Manusmriti is 2 century BC whereas Mongol invasion is middle ages and had very little impact in India because for various reasons the Mongols did not really get inside India although there were a few battles where some Mongol generals tested the borders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasions_of_India

Bhakti movement, a reformist movement of Hinduism mentions caste, thats 8th century AD, well before Mongol invasion. There is mention of caste in Budhdhist, Jain and Sikh literature as well. A significant component of many of these religion were a rejection of the prevailing caste system.

This is terrible. But the upside is that most of them have really good books you can still buy on Amazon, so if not the actual historical essays then at least most of their ideas will be preserved indefinitely.

Clearly a lot of them have been looking back at that period with mixed feelings over the last few years (and have said as much), but even still it's shocking that something like Clay Shirky's blog would disappear when he's very much still alive. The fact that we apparently now have to worry about whether or not something like Danah Boyd's MySpace vs Facebook essay could disappear though is ridiculous; even with all the known technical and social problems with the web it's hard to imagine that it's come to this.

>everyone knows what would happen if Mexico or Republic of Ireland announced an agreement with Russia to let them send in weapons and military personnel and set up military bases, right?

you mean US or GB would announce that those countries/nationalities are an artificial creation and have never historically really existed, and that Mexicans or Irish people don't ethnically exist, that they are just "little/sub Americans" or "little/sub Englishmen", and US or GB would go to perform ethnical cleansing and genocide there?

> send in weapons and military personnel

that happens all around the world by pretty much all countries.

> set up military bases

you forgot to add major point of Russian propaganda here - development of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons DNA targeted to Russian DNA as well as breeding birds and dogs who only sh!t on and byte only Russians - all that with the direct help and financing by American imperialists.

Ask anyone throwing in solutions (A, B, perhaps even other people) to add pros and cons for each solution. Make a short meeting and then discuss within the whole team and make a vote. At my last job this worked really well.
I've been on critical troubleshooting calls with dozens of people. Everyone always has their idea. What works best is to find the person that knows the most about the system and have them lead. Hopefully they have decent communication skills.

Next thing is to have someone watching and taking notes of everything that was performed. As detailed as possible. There's going to come a time where you have to double back.

Then, form a "backlog" of ideas. If people on the call have a suggestion, it gets put on the queue until the current "thread" is seen to the end. This way, people still get to contribute but you're kind of doing a depth first search.

Lastly, deputized person always gets final say, and people should acquiesce, even if they disagree. It's just the only way to really get anything done in those situations. Yeah, it might be inefficient if they're going down the wrong path, but it's entirely more inefficient to have a dozen people suggestion alternatives and trying them all in a half-assed way.
Why do they keep making stunning concept cars that turn into mediocre compromises once manufactured?
The problem is that they calculated each person’s ‘self-assessment error’ with the actual test score. This error is the difference between a person’s self assessment and their test score,

This is like comparing x - y to x, and if you do this, you will get a correlation no matter what.
That doesn't change the facts though? They don't let you upgrade the storage even if you have two first party storage cards.
Oh well, I'm not sure how do you define average consumer. I don't really watch TV but I do have to deal with TVs for other members in the family. Put all those Ads/tracking/slowness issues aside, the quality of the Smart TV OSes/Apps were/are just bad. We had a Sony, which was good in most of the aspects except the OS/Apps were terrible. Had to factory reset a couple of weeks or so or the apps would not launch at all and all of a sudden, apps would not function properly even after resetting. So we used it with a android TV box, which was actually much batter. Not long after switching to TV box, kids cracked the screen. So I got a Samsung hoping it would be better. Samsung's apps seem to be slightly better than Sony but the remote is a pain the neck. The first thing was the remote removed most the buttons, especially the video source button. So I have to press 5/6 times just to get to the sources. If I pressed buttons too quick, add another 2/3 presses to it. And after switching, the menu bar does not go away I have to press another button just to get it out of the screen. Since I have multiple HDMI devices connected to the TV, Samsung was trying to be smart by turning on one of the devices automatically. That was extremely dumb as most of the time I was just trying to get to the one after it and it turned on the device unexpectedly. Okay, I turned off the device unexpected turned on, you guess what, the TV is turned off as the current video source was now off. So I have to turn of the CEC over HDMI and then I'll have to use multiple remotes to control different devices. If it was dumb TV with a traditional full size remote, it can be much easier.

This is cool, but it seems jarring when I attempt to read the text, like hitting a speed bump. Upon reflection I perceive the highlights as a subtext signaling incomprehension. Thus I unconsciously reread each word individually to find what I might be missing.

> NATO wages a proxy war upon Russia via Ukraine

last time I checked it was RU ill-prepared, and poorly informed by its own IC about the state of their neighbor invading a sovereign European nation. I guess it must be horribly embarrassing when your celebrated army is taken down by a collective of farmers. There is no need for NATO proxy-war because if Ukraine continues its brave defense at this rate then NATO will beg to join Ukraine.

I do hope they capture and kill each and every Russian on Ukraine soil who even vaguely looks like their alliance is not clear, or who are found to carry condoms in their uniforms.

Considering the brazenness and utter dumbfuckery of Russia's brainwashed middle class populace cheering for Putin it is our duty in the West to defend Ukraine and preemptively strike them not only outside Russia (ME/Africa, etc) but to also go after them at home in Moscow. We should also take a close look at any Russian overseas who isn't loudly denouncing the Putler regime.
Zones and ZFS were great together.

I think more like a medium level language somewhere between assembly and C, with a clear distinction between a "virtual register bank" and "mass storage memory". Moving data between the two would be an explicit operation, not something the compiler would ever do automatically.
Ah, the good old "she was asking for it" school of international relations.

> Components written with more than just one particular project in mind are tough to change.

Even in the very worst-case scenario, you can fork the code. That would still leave you far ahead of having to write everything you need from scratch. And my experience is that plenty of libraries are happy to support general use cases when at all possible.

Can you give an example of what you mean by this? I'm unclear what the concern is regarding the idea of "not building a thing".

The Rust developers also have open and active lines of communication to the Linux developers.

Certainly, but even very large projects benefit from sharing code in foundational areas.
The decisive point is who is in control. Putin is happy with multiculturalism of current Belarus and Chechnya, and of the Ukraine with Yanukovych.
