> You make it sound that the "suffering of their fellow citizens" is somehow the fault of Ukraine's leaders

Yes, it is, obviously! India was once the wealthiest country in the world. It was then conquered by the British who ruled over them for 300+ years to become one of the poorest country in the world by the time the British left. Why? Weak, incompetent leadership that lacked vision. Incompetent politicians ignorantly or deliberately create suffering for their country. This war happened because of the political incompetence of the current Ukrainian leadership, and perhaps even because of their own selfish ambition to cement their political positions.

> ... and they should just surrender to Russia's interests, which would somehow would end the suffering?

Temporarily, if need be. But don't consider it as a surrender but a strategic retreat. International pressure against Russia can be diplomatically used to soften some of the demands they make, but yes, Ukraine will have to yield more. And whether the suffering ends really depends on the kind of leadership Ukraine's politician are capable of. Right now, Russia is winning the war (it is clear that they are not looking to occupy all of Ukraine and are willing to carve up the country in the long term. They are selectively targeting and occupying areas of Ukraine they consider necessary to protect its strategic interest, in case whatever remains of Ukraine after the war does manage to join NATO in the distant future).

> Ukraine snubs Russia, which it has the right to do, therefore Russia is allowed to invade?

It's the reality of the world order the super-powers have created for themselves. Yes, it is unfair.

As for Iraq or Afghanistan, the point was that they caught the interest of the superpowers, but their political leadership was politically incompetent to deal with them appropriately and couldn't protect their own country's interest. Leaders of both nation snubbed the superpowers. And look at them now. That's what the Americans and Russians will do to Ukraine too, unless Ukrainian politicians understand and accept the reality of their own standing in the world order.
Home in the summer. For me, that's a particular chunk of New York State that's full of lush greenery, strong winds and particularly severe rain and thunderstorms. There's nothing quite like standing barefoot in the grass while it's raining so hard you can barely see 10 feet in front of you.
> do you ever worry about being robbed by the police in the USA?

Yes. The only difference is that in the US they give it a legal-sounding name of civil forfeiture and the courts protect them.
I will start this off by saying I am very pro nuclear. However, I think it is likely that the last nuclear power plant to be built in the United States will be built in the next 5-10 years. Looking at the trajectory of renewables and energy storage it seems that every other method of generating power will slowly be priced out of existence.

Given the politics (fission) and uncertainty (fusion) of nuclear, I think it is highly unlikely that there is a long term future for the industry (100 years). Even though we will need some level of baseline power for when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing, I think it is likely that geothermal or natural gas plants will fill that role.

Nuclear is too bespoke, and you need a massive amount of capital before you generate one watt of power.

"Recently, places as diverse as Texas, California, Oklahoma/Iowa/Kansas/Nebraska (SPP), the UK, and Germany have rapidly decarbonized without nuclear."

Uh...Germany's actually recarbonized by shutting down their nuclear [increasing coal and imported electricity to pick up the slack].

"The nuclear electricity production lost in Germany's phase-out was primarily replaced with coal electricity production and electricity importing. One study found that the nuclear phase-out caused $12 billion in social costs per year, primarily due to increases in mortality due to exposure to pollution from fossil fuels."
--[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Germany]

California's likely to have serious shortages [again] if they shut off the rest of theirs. Plus: "California's electricity rates are among the highest in the United States as a result of the changing energy mix within the state, including aggressive construction of new natural gas power plants."

I don't know enough to check the rest of the article, but this certainly gives me some doubts as to its accuracy.
The only superior potential more modern source of energy we're aware of that can match energy density, resource efficiency and carbon-free characteristics of nuclear fission is nuclear fusion. Other alternatives lose on one or more parameters, especially when it comes to environmental costs.

Fair enough, different crops do better in different areas. In your case, for reasons of crop rotation (which you mentioned), they are still unlikely to be able to substantially increase wheat production. Farming is one of the most "free market" industries out there. In most cases, everything is already highly optimised.

It's crazy what people come to believe. To generalize the pathetic bureaucratic failures like the EPR to all model couldn't be farther from reality.

Russian commercialized VVER 1200 models take 57 month to build.
Their successor, the VVER-TOI take 40 month, so 3.5 year to build. It output 1300MWe
Besides the russian competitive advantage, China build plants in 6 years.

The internet has never been decentralized. ICANN and the government have always been central authorities that can control or shut it down. I'm not saying that it is good that Zuck has so much power or good that Google has a monopoly on search.

I'm saying that crypto exists to bypass authorities and people putting crypto on a centralized exchange proves that it is only about making money trading, not about doing anything useful.

>But why are the coins worthless?

The coins are worthless because they have no function outside of speculation.

>But your reasoning for why the coins are a scam involves them being worthless.

The coins are a scam because they are worthless but the conmen in the room are telling you that if you just hodl they will be worth a billion dollars. Just like buying seeds for a money tree is a scam. In other words, the coins themselves have as much utility as seeds for a money tree. Sure the market might be willing to pay for seeds for a money tree; but you and I both know that money trees don't exist and the market participants are paying for something that will be worthless in 10 years.

You are now one of those market participants twisting language because you are 100% convinced that you will begin harvesting benjamins in 10 years once you plant your money tree seeds. Once the tree matures and bears no fruit, will money seeds be a scam, or will it just be that your tree was a "Failed project", but the ecosystem of money tree seeds is 100% legitimate?
It would be nice if, say, ten million dollars into the process of preparing blueprints, the agency could look over the prints and the plans for the remaining prints and say "yes it looks like you're on the right track, make sure the reactor wall you decide on isn't too heavy for those struts." In a much more precise way that probably costs a million bucks, of course.

Regulatory intervention could happen at any point in the process. You could imagine an even worse world where the first inspection is after the plant is built, and changes are typically requested to the high level design.

The failure mode I usually see on experienced pairing teams is overly complex code. There's a certain flavor that I can usually pick out and be pretty sure that a couple of Pivots or Carbon5 or whatever pair shop has been working in a codebase. I wish I could be more specific about what sets me off, but I've called it blind enough times to think that there's a real effect.

Not that single coders don't produce weird code, just that I've not experienced a situation where pairing has been a win—with the BIG exception of doing code reviews.
I used to work for a startup that quickly grew to become one of the biggest Lambda users in my country (according to AWS). The entire business was serverless, not just Lambda but backend DynamoDB, APIGW, Cloudfront, etc. There was maybe 2 EC2 instances in the whole company.

Having seen what that model of development can do from an operational/security/agility/scalability/efficiency perspective, I think the comments on HN about serverless saying "it's just CGI" or that they could do something similar without vendor lockin are honestly laughably ignorant. If you haven't messed with Zappa (https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa) or Serverless Framework (https://www.serverless.com/) at least a little you are missing out.

The quoted "competing exec" is 100% wrong when he says Netflix is making a mistake ending shows after three seasons. Shows need to be pitched and run for three seasons max, period.

The data on biotech and pharmaceutical patents per nation is easy to look up and firmly supports the parent posters point- Google is your friend here.

Your second point is a false equivalency as from a private payor perspective the cost of providing care to the indignant is reflected on their localized hospital bill, not on their federal taxes. In struggling rural/inner city hospitals the majority of payors don't cover the cost of the care received (and that includes medicare/medicaid patients), which means hospital bills will be highest in poor regions despite higher rates of federal coverage/subsidy.

> Adhesive on the front of the phone, where the screen is, is just fine as far as battery removability is concerned. Are you sure that's a real factor in this comparison?

Adhesive all over the place helps remove volume. So does using annoying connector types, and putting together the parts of the phone in crazy jenga-like assemblies.

The reason why phones are less serviceable today is because they are packed tight. This packed-tight characteristic is harder to manufacture, but much harder to service. The reason why it is there is because the designers of the phone think it is necessary to make a phone that is desirable to the market.

> Well I'm trying to use the example you gave...

OK, so look at total volume vs. screen area, because I think this is really actually the important metric. In less volume, we got basically the same volume of battery and a bigger screen. The metric swung by 20%.

> Citation needed. I've never seen anyone mention sub-millimeter differences in choosing one phone over another.

Phones with replaceable batteries didn't do very well versus their competition, which is a pretty good hint that the ease of replacing batteries was not the primary buying factor. Phone size-- both thinness and total volume-- and screen size-- are unquestionably important buying factors.

Of course there are limits to every opportunity. I make money everyday from opportunities that exist on microsecond timescales. I run arb and loan liquidation bots, so I haven't had a single losing day, ever. The last two weeks were quite profitable for me, actually the best two week period I have ever had. There are other strategies that are easier to pull off, such as market making, that have moderate risks and outsized returns.

The point is that these opportunities exist, and they always will exist, you just have to be smart enough to be able to get into them. If someone needed money for infrastructure to run an arb bot, for example, and offered you above market, risk-free returns, it's at least possible they aren't lying to you. That was my point.

GP invoked the modern saying "Jack of all trades, master of none." The original saying was "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." In other words, if the choice was between average knowledge of many things OR having an incredible knowledge of one thing sans much else, the former was likely preferable.

I tend to think that everything I know represents a thousand things I don't. In other words, there is only so much time in the day or so much space in my brain. If the choice isn't simply binary, as is implied by that original saying, I think it would be preferable to be a "jack of all trades, master of ONE."

Western societies, and probably others, seemed to have this ingrained for quite some time. So much so that people would adopt a name that reflected their mastery (or profession): "Smith", "Cooper", "Fletcher", etc. Obviously, most people through-out history lived in incredible scarcity and consequently had to be somewhat skilled in a variety of things simply to survive. Specialization was the exception for quite some time. It wasn't until technological advancement, widespread usage of labor-saving devices, and later the industrial revolution, that specialization by large numbers of people was feasible (due to the abundance of resources from the efficient production of goods).

I think in this particular case the term "holotype" is being overloaded; it means both "general category of applications" and "what this author takes to be the canonical application in that category". I don't think an exact parallel to the zoological usage is intended.
Very cool, it's awesome to see more offerings in the open-source CAD space. Even though this doesn't compare with, say, FreeCAD (being 2d-only), it looks like the features it does provide are fairly polished based on the description. It's nice that it comes with built-in CAM tooling.

One thing that I'm wondering about is a constraint-solving system - the documentation doesn't mention anything about sketch constraints. Usually a constraint system is pretty important in CAD work, so I wonder if there's plans to add one.
