They may have expected support from citizens in Eastern Ukraine where there has been a war going on for years, but I have yet to hear concrete evidence that this was expected throughout Ukraine.

Also, captured soldiers will say anything under duress, and I have yet to see a verifiable survey of captured soldiers. Relying on The words of a few soldiers is nonsense.

This "friction" is 100% intentional. We don't want free flow of capitals across countries, just like we don't want free flow of people. If we wanted it, we would have signed specific treaties to that effect, and those "frictions" would have gone away. This is what they did in the EU for example, where international payments within the union are seamless.

ALCAR is… really quite something. Acetyl-L-carnitine, right?

First it fixed me. Clarity and strength. Slept better too. I did not at all expect it to do anything.

Then I felt intensely sad. All of a sudden really. One morning. After taking ALCAR for 1-2 weeks or so?

The funny thing is that this sadness was absolutely warranted. The ALCAR kind of… unleashed it? At risk of appearing to overshare: It’s been a really tough time recently – my spouse has been on a long road to recovery. Doing great! Life is beautiful. But I’ve been running in tough-it-out mode for a lonnng time. ALCAR “broke the seal” on it. I swear.

It really really really does seem to have an effect on neurotransitters doesn’t it!

It wasn’t really the best time to have it happen. It was hard. I have a small close-knit support network and have had to acquire a reasonable amount of insight into thought processes and emotional states and both of these were kind of necessary to handle this kind of sudden and specific emotional unraveling. Much more noticeable effect than any antidepressant or ADHD medication I’ve tried. (!)

It doesn’t seem to make sense but I really do think this is what happened. Not from a perspective of wanting it to be true. It was really quite a clear effect and I’m really glad to have figured it out and stopped taking ALCAR at that point.

And indeed there seems to be a scientific paper trail between ALCAR and the cholinergic system and this sort of emotional state and state change.

And there are tons of research on the interaction of ALCAR and the nervous system, in dementia and depression as well as diabetic neuropathy. And it certainly works for that – it clearly and obviously helps diabetic neuropathy heal.

Why? Idk! Haven’t read the papers yet.

I read your contribution as "it's good because that's what we have", which I think is a fallacy.

What we have can and should be discussed and challenged. Not having a complete, new and better solution, doesn't prevent us from pointing at flaws. All the while working on the new thing.
In other cases where enterprises wanted something that consumers cared little about (ECC RAM comes to mind, or the artificial limit on number of concurrent connections in non-server Windows editions), manufacturers were happy to cripple their product for consumers, so they could charge a premium to less price-sensitive enterprises.

But when it comes to Pluton, or the AMD and Intel management engines, they're making sure you can't buy a product without them at any price.

> it was designed to prevent unauthorized access to hardware.

Yes and it's all a big coincidence there's no owner override, so that only the manufacturer decides what is "authorized".

I started with golang as the basis for my SaaS I've been building now for 2 years, the first version that shipped (and is still in production) is based on Go.

I personally don't find the go ecosystem very good for people who want to goto market as fast as possible, the libraries are less developed and you're going to have to build your own stack.

Bud and Buffalo seem like great developments, but your comment about the Buffalo one no longer being in active development would just totally suck if you had invested your time into building your SaaS on this.

I'm now using Ruby on Rails in the next version, and I couldn't be happier - maybe it's not as fast, but it certainly helps me ship features faster to customers!

> Also we ship giant ships full of oil and gas all over the world every single day which is vastly more combustible than batteries.

I see what you are saying, but the way we mitigate the fire and explosion hazards on oil and gas transport ships is not really applicable to roll-on/roll-off ships.

The oil tankers and LNG ships use a technic called innert atmosphere to protect their cargo from fire hazard. The idea is that they fill the ulage spaces with a gas low in oxygen to make sure an explosive mixture can’t form.

It would be very hard to innert the whole cargo space of a RO/RO ship the same way, might damage the cargo, would be hazardous to the operators and wouldn’t actually help with a potential thermal runaway of a battery anyway. I will discuss these points in detail:

How do they generate this innerting gas usually? There are two main options. You either use nitrogen, or you pipe in the exhaust gas of the engines. Nitrogen would probably be cost prohibitive. The RO/RO ships are cavernous. The exhaust gas based sytem would cost less, but would damage the cargo. Nobody would want a car which reeks like an ashtray.

The innerted atmosphere is obviously incompatible with human occupancy, yet the cars are usually driven on and off these carriers by a small army of operators. So you need to have processes to vent the innert atmosphere before the vehicles can be embarked/dissembarked, and you need other processes to ensure the venting worked properly otherwise your shore crew will suffocate. This adds complexity, and risks to the operation. This is not a problem on tankers because there nobody needs to enter the tanks during normal operations.

And then finaly why it might not help after all? The nature of electric vehicle battery thermal runaway is such that it doesn’t require oxygen from the atmosphere. It is an exotermic reaction, but not a “fire” in the fire-triangle sense.

So all in all, the one big trick of the tankers can’t be used with vehicle carrying operations. Thus the analogy is less than useful. Not saying that we can’t carry EVs safely, just that our ability to carry fuels safely does not in any way correlate with our ability to carry EVs safely.
I think there are many cases where they need to be different, for example if you want to do any kind of post-processing on the final image.

Exactly. The reason is that manufacturers actually go through a lot of trouble to prevent batteries catching fire. They do crash tests, puncture tests, etc. As a consequence, actual battery fires in cars are pretty rare. But they do happen occasionally of course. They are chemical fires so the procedures for dealing with those fires are a bit different than say an ICE car that is on fire. That's all.

In any case. Fire risk on ships is a matter for insurers. There are a lot of EVs that are going to be shipped around in the next decades. And the shipping business is big business. I'm sure they'll figure it out. Lots of ships catching fire would get costly. So, the prudent thing would be to do the math and take appropriate counter measures. But I seriously doubt any insurers are losing much sleep over this incident.

There are also ships that carry the fuel for ICE cars around; or at least the raw ingredients for it (oil). Or liquid gas. Highly flamable stuff. Very toxic. Nasty when it gets out. Oil tankers do untold amounts of damage to the environment when they sink and spill their load. Happens fairly regularly. Insurers are all over that kind of thing as well.

If you actually genuinely care about cars spontaneously combusting, there are hundreds of people that die in ICE car fires every year. ICE car fires are so common that it's one of the most common reasons for fire trucks to be called. Hundreds of thousands of times per year in the US apparently. ICE cars are not safe at all; they never have been. They catch fire in all sorts of situations. In your garage, while they are parked, when you crash them, or when you drive on the motorway. It happens to old cars; it happens to new cars. So, where's the big outrage over good old ICE car fires? There is none. Double standards. Or rather there's a lobby interested in talking about one thing but very much not about the other thing.

Which is of course what is going on here. This article is on a web site aimed at ICE car enthusiast that no doubt depends on advertising, sponsoring, etc. by various car manufacturers. Spreading FUD about EVs whenever they can. Just so the fearful masses keep on buying ICE cars.
The problem with these purely verbal arguments is that they can be made to sound convincing either way.

E.g. Inflation is good because it encourages people to invest in things, creating jobs. However, inflation is bad because it encourages people to take unnecessary financial risks (like borrowing or lending money) when they could instead save it for a rainy day.

The distinction can be maintained easily by limiting the application client in its ability to display fancy text. In fact, it should have very little support for styling and layouting should be restricted to some nested grid like dynamic system without pixel perfect control. Part of the predicament of the current web is the expectation that you get fancy corporate designs reproduced pixel perfect everywhere. Break that for applications and you will limit the viability of reader applications for content that should be served as documents.

Imagine a browser that throws out almost all CSS the moment it sees a form tag or a line of javascript.
Nothing is going to collapse, lol.

The US, and all worldwide economies may be a bubble, sure. But they are 100% safe for as long as people keep consuming, working, and the economy keeps moving forward. It doesn't really matter for the US as much as it would matter for smaller economies like Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

We may experience a recession the likes of Lehman Brothers, sure. But nothing is going to collapse. People aren't suddenly going to go into the woods, and let their cars, smartphones, and AC units rot.

"“But it serves JSON” … is like buying a Bugatti Veyron, just to park it in your garage and use its exhaust fumes to dry your clothes 6 days of the week, with a 2 minute drive around the block on Sundays."

That is a very creative analogy, but not one I agree with.

My servers should do as little as possible. They should not serve files just for the sake of it, because they have all these shiny serving features.

And I like JSON as it is not as verbose as html and I can directly work with it in javascript. And then update my html where I need it locally.

If you prefer it differently, than this is fine. The web supports many ways.

>But doesn't it take power to maintain such cold temperatures, even for "high temperature" liquid nitrogen temperatures? How does this compare to the energy we save from the lack of resistance in the superconductor?

Not a thermals guy, but bog-standard, consumer air conditioners tend to have efficiencies of 300% or so. Ie, for every joule of electrical energy consumed, they'll reduce the thermal energy in the room by 3 joules.

Regardless of this, having zero heat output in the wafer itself could be far more interesting than just increased power efficiency. For example, without the issue of thermals one could imagine silicon wafers with thousands of layers and 3-D interconnects.
"secret running track" feels like a joke, but the point it illustrates is clear - the massive uncontrolled dispersion of location data.
What really concerns me about that Tesup model is 3-blade design with small air gap between blades. I have no idea how they think that would be more effective than 2-blade Savonius-principle rotor.

It's possible to sell consumers ad-hoc designs that are unnecessarily inefficient just because they look cool.
Why g Matters: The Complexity of Everyday Life

Personnel selection research provides much evidence that intelligence (g) is an important predictor of performance in training and on the job, especially in higher level work. This article provides evidence that g has pervasive utility in work settings because it is essen- tially the ability to deal with cognitive complexity, in particular, with complex information processing. The more complex a work task, the greater the advantages that higher g confers in performing it well. Everyday tasks, like job duties, also differ in their level of complexity. The importance of intelligence therefore differs systematically across differ- ent arenas of social life as well as economic endeavor. Data from the National Adult Literacy Survey are used to show how higher levels of cognitive ability systematically improve individuals’ odds of dealing successfully with the ordinary demands of modem life (such as banking, using maps and transportation schedules, reading and understanding forms, interpreting news articles). These and other data are summarized to illustrate how the advantages of higher g, even when they are small, cumulate to affect the overall life chances of individuals at different ranges of the IQ bell curve. The article concludes by suggesting ways to reduce the risks for low-IQ individuals of being left behind by an increasingly complex postindustrial economy.

Eventually resulting in mass starvation for the import-dependent countries.
