https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/coalition...

I must question how hard you are looking because none of these links have shown paywalls to me, and even if they did you could use reader view (depends on browser) or various archive services to see what was written. If you want articles from specific date periods you can use Google search date parameters.

> You mean "making mistakes" and killing civilians?

No, from doing any sort of military activity. If you wanted to 100% verify there is no potential civilian nearby any military activity would immediately grind to a halt. You'll find for similar reasons why few Nazi German soldiers were ever punished for killing civilians, because even the Allies understood is it something almost impossible to accuse your enemy of without it also applying to your own soldiers, thus most trials focused on purposeful targeting of civilians, which is something different.

> Why can't EU impose sanctions on US?

EU has put sanctions on the US for various things over the years.

> Like kick them out of the EU teritory as a start?

Because it would mean they actually have to pay for their own defense which none of them are particularly keen on doing.

> US kills a reuters journalist...

If you watch the actual video it's pretty clear the men the journalists are with are carrying weapons, if I remember correctly an RPG. Militarily speaking they were entirely a legitimate target and I personally never understood the controversy about it, perhaps because they worked for a western news organization it became famous. If you wanted to pick an example of them killing civilians who weren't hanging around with militants there are many better ones.

> similar reasons to what putin is doing now

There was no genocide of Russian speakers in Ukraine so that's nonsense.

> The only ones having any benefit out of this current crisis are the american politicians.

This is also obvious nonsense. How are high gas prices and high inflation rates beneficial to American politicians? The Russian economy is doing (for now at least) far better than the American or EU ones.

If you look at what was actually given, half of it is given under lend-lease, which as the name suggests, is a lease, they're not actually buying anything that they have to pay back. The US is buying them from whatever companies and then lending them out to Ukraine. If you read the law passed for it, the US expects no compensation for any loss of military equipment given to Ukraine, only that whatever is left is returned when the war finished. Instead of spouting conspiracy nonsense you should actually go and learn up on what you criticize because it's very common that people talk all this stuff about things they don't understand at all. I do agree though that China and India are big beneficiaries from this being able to buy things from Russia at big discounts though.
Receiving power isn’t the same as being “on”. I’d assume the drive has a sleep state that it goes into after inactivity, and those hours don’t count as “power on” hours.
The best part about Uber/Lyft imo is that I know exactly how much I'll be charged before I even request it. Taxis you get to do a bunch of math that depends on factors like traffic but in the rideshare apps you can decide if the ride is worth it.

If taxis could replicate this more ethically, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Have you used tiktok? There’s nothing about it that isn’t addictive.

Facebook, Twitter, and HN hold a different behavior because they are used for asynchronous communication between general users while TT is full of parasocial relationships between the created and fans. FB and Twitter also offer more utility than TikTok, an example being small businesses using Facebook and Twitter instead of a website.
Edit: maybe a better way to phrase this is that, without knowing criteria and scale, there's really no way to know if this is surprising and possibly informative, or utter nonsense and it's hard to find anything conclusive because they're trying to hide their horrifying abuse of statistics. I see the latter happen far more often than the former, which is why significant claims require significant evidence. So far this seems weirdly vague.

---

What I mean is that, depending on the criteria, their average network size could be 30 or 50,000.

A reduction of 17 from 50,000 is only 0.03%. That's overwhelmingly likely to be statistical noise and nothing else. But given enough dimensions to slice the data across, that could be the single strongest correlation, so it's the one they claim. You see that kind of thing all the time in bad data science.

The claim could fall anywhere between "shockingly strong correlation" and "utterly meaningless". So far I haven't been able to find anything that implies one way or the other.
America is the second? Largest nation in the world comprised of many immigrants and the descendants of immigrants. Culturally, there remains much variation in population from state to state. As there are only two political parties essentially, the views and rhetoric of either side are dramatically and diametrically opposed in manner and focus. Moving from a primarily "blue" or Democratic area to a primarily "red" or Republican area is a very different culture.

Thus continues the downward spiral. If you remove the college degree requirement, you can lower the salary even further for teachers. Combined with Arizona's move towards school vouchers, it's hard to see a positive future for their public education system.
I loved the ads in those old magazines... they promised so much.
“In the period covered in the documents, Uber was embarking on an aggressive expansion in countries such as Spain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium — many of which outlawed paid transport in private personal vehicles.
Regulators barged in, conducting raid after raid, in an effort to prove Uber was flouting the law, while police conducted stings to catch drivers in the act.”

emphasis mine. I can give you a ride to the airport but you can’t pay me for gas or time.
I believe this is called the Bergamot project, more can be found here: https://browser.mt/

The GitHub repo for it is here: https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator

The repo contains some details about how to run it in WASM which is quite interesting for embedding it in pages. I've been playing around with using WASM to capture speech to text (https://github.com/ccoreilly/vosk-browser) and automatically translating it using Bergamot.

Results have been, ok. I don't think the tech is quite there yet and the speech to text obviously struggles with multiple speakers.
Didn't the states just pull out of Afghanistan after 20 years of occupation? Or is that last years news?

Watches are about movement/storage of wealth and tax evasion. Like art, very high timepiece value is its ability to move money. They're Old Money Cryptocurrency.

Bring $50,000 in cash on a plane to another country and you're a drug dealer/criminal, or at the very least, the tax inspectors want to talk to you.

Bring a $50,000 watch on holiday or a business trip, and nobody blinks an eye. Your average customs/border/security person probably no idea what a $1,000 watch looks like compared to a $50,000 or $100,000 watch...or they're

a helicopter can "glide down" just like an airplane. if your engine fails, with the aid of the rotor as you descend you can turn the potential energy of being up in the air into forward motion, and that forward motion will generate lift over your rotor blades. You practice these techniques as part of getting a license.

see the "dead man's curve" which relates to having an engine failure with insufficient height or lateral speed (helicopters shouldn't hover in place unless a good ways up)

"It's pretty easy for some people with the benefit of 8000 years of learning to look at something like this and call it a cult."

8000 years of learning - charitable! We have learned many things and forgotten them and rediscovered all sort of things. I'm not sure how old our knowledge really is or if that actually means anything.

Cult: terminology.

Why on earth is Stonehenge mentioned at all? This is the stone age in the modern Arabian peninsula and bugger all to do with a bit of Wiltshire.

I love the BBC but it would be nice if they decided to give up nonsensical parochialism or at least drop it for things like this - it's almost as daft as describing a dinosaur as coming from say London ...

The modern London comes from ... Lundunwic is an early anglisc name (-wic: -wijk, -wick, -vic - probably others). Obvs: Lundumwic came from Londiumium (Roman). So where did Londinum come from? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Londinium - no one really knows. It is unlikely that Geoff off of Monmouth has a clue and frankly it is one of those things.

To effectively engage with our forebears we have to start with dropping dodgy nationalistic labels.

Yeah I'm unsure how doable this is. It's either fairly easy or close to impossible, as this isn't really a text input but is just capturing keystrokes and putting them on a canvas.

Curious how Nice is now - is it still filled with Russian oligarchs and "oligarch-adjacent" since the Ukraine war?

Better article at https://www.techspot.com/news/95177-ubisoft-disable-online-f... , which tells us it is 15 games (not one) and Ubisoft's end (affecting all delivery mechanisms including physical, not just Steam/Valve)

Personally, I stopped buying Ubisoft games years ago, because a month of their subscription service is cheaper than their games even at 75% off sales, and actually owning the game means nothing as this article demonstrates. I'm not sure how this business model is sustainable.
If someone, i.e. an individual person whom I know in real life, gave me advice then I would happily listen. This includes bosses or coworkers.

But when it is coming through a bureaucracy, by mass email from someone whom I don't know (if it is signed by a named individual at all), I would be less happy.

Maybe this reflects excessive cynicism on my part towards large organizations. I recognize that not everyone feels the same way.

(a) TV shows are not a good source of information about criminal ballistics; and

(b) every round that is fired, and every scratch inflicted in cleaning the gun, can change the pattern left on the bullet.

(c) see "microtaggants" and the suggestions that they be required in all ammunition. This is far closer to what you want but then we just have to steal ammo we want to use for nefarious purpose.
I remember some kind of test to get into it (1997) which asked people to write a recursive function (I think it said something like "please write a recursive function in the programming language of your choice"). If you could do this, you could take CS 61A; otherwise, you were asked to take CS 3.

This title is misleading, it should read “Students enrolled in college may now begin teaching in public schools before they finish their degree”.
Obviously, if you compare it to Nice, it's not that hard.

Avoid Narbonne during summer. I'd say avoid France altogether in summer. It's nice from mid may to the 10th of July and from the last week of august until mid october. If you like river sports, mid-april starts to be nice.

Unless you go to Brittany, Normandy or Haut de France. We have really nice museums there, there is not that much people, mostly retired Brits.
Nobody's asking for "managed servers" they're asking for server binaries, which can be easily released without source code and was common practice for decades before games turned into live services.
I don't think a college degree is the best proxy for teaching competence. There's no reason high school graduates can't teach a subject just as well or better than college graduates.

Have a certification for the subject if you want. College is overkill.
Last I checked IP law courts have upheld this interpretation in case of Apple so don't be so sure.

50 years from now people are going to think that you're referring to a long canceled voucher program when you refer to "public education." Young people won't even know that we used to have schools that were run by the government, and that you were required to go to school until you were 16. They won't know much, unless they were born with money.
I feel sorry for anyone who has to dig up our current civilization. Imagine digging up nuclear waste and hoping it is some grand sarcophagus or treasure. Worse yet all the landfills.
You can't increase the amount of time kids stay in school without lowering standards.

If people are stuck for 20% of their life in school we'd need 1 in 5 people to be teachers to tutor them one on one. In the US 1 in 100 people are a teacher which means that we have a student teacher ratio of 1:20.

Which is quite frankly terrible.

The only sane thing to do is to reduce the required schooling and improve it's quality. But that would mean we turn schools into places or learning instead of extended day care.
There's a common pattern in storytelling.

Act 1: Hero wants a thing. Hero puts in all their skills and effort. Things get worse.

Act 2: Hero sacrifices everything and consequently loses it all until they run out of things to sacrifice.

Act 3: Hero recovers.

The transition from Act 2 to 3 is when they listen to what a mentor said in Act 1. Oh this mentor was right all along.

A tragedy is usually defined as someone who didn't listen to the mentor. A comedy is when a bunch of people didn't listen to each other and got into deeper trouble until they realized the truth.

I love the Overcoming the Monster plotline. It's a reversal of Tragedy. The Monster is usually superior, but they made mistakes and refuse to admit it. What differentiates the Monster from the inferior Hero was the Hero was willing to admit her mistakes.

What comes from giving up is usually a form of humility, often subconscious. You accept that your successes aren't from your ideas or your individual efforts. You become more open to trying things that change your identity and kill your ego.

Character development only happens with a form of death, letting go of who you were. Graduation ceremonies are a form of funeral - you are no longer a top student, you are now unemployed. A wedding celebrates the death of single you and the birth of married you.

Part of the answer is don't give estimates when you can help it. I've had a lot of success just having a roadmap and telling people, this is what we're working on now, this is what's next in the pipeline, and here's where you can track our progress for yourself.

Another tip I have is to constrain estimates to board timescales like Q3 or H2 when you are able to (there are certain business scenarios that do require estimates).

A similar thing you can do is give your "estimate" not in the form of a date but in the form of ambiguity and scale. Or better yet just state the factors that would go into giving an estimate without offering one.

Lastly I'd suggest just not shying away from commitments but making them about effort not outcome. "I have 3 developers working on this full time and it will be their sole focus until we ship. Nothing you say or do is going to get this feature launched any faster than it's going to be now."
Ok, we've changed the above to that. Shortened to fit HN's 80 char limit. Thanks!
I would be surprised if you advocated that for your own kids (Do you even have kids?). Teachers need to have masters degrees with certifications. I am not lowering my standards.

It's like there's no children outside of school and no way to introduce them to each other... Tell me, what is 'learning' social skills at school?

There’s been quite a few of these studies, all with similar results. What’s unfortunate is that the remarkable “penetration” of the idea that cloth and standard surgical masks provided “adequate” (by any measure) protection was so great and peddled by such influential persons that there are now those who, despite plain empirical evidence, still maintain masks provide some material amount of benefit.

I wonder at what point such people will began to consider the evidence in earnest, regardless of the fact that most of these mandates have thankfully been repealed.

College is appropriate, teachers need to learn how to teach. You aren't going to get a good job out of someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing.
This has been known since 2020. From the beginning, the public health message could have been "protect yourself using a N-95 mask", but for some reason they went with "protect others using a cloth/surgical mask".

The only reasonable explanation I can find for this is that N-95 masks were in short supply at the time and they had to be saved for medical professionals. We needed a distraction to prevent the general public from hoarding N-95 masks.

But here we are, 2 years later, still debating whether masks with holes orders of magnitude larger than the airborne virus particles they are supposed to stop are effective.
I’ve spent the past couple of months on Cote d’Azur, Russians and Ukrainians everywhere. You hear Russian music playing all over St Tropez.
It's a very odd set of languages that they have. French should have orders of magnitude more resources available for developing a translation engine than e.g. Bulgarian would, so why do the more obscure language first?

Maybe they just happened to be able to get volunteers/partners who know those languages.
Oh good. Teachers will then be as well-trained as cops
Yes. From the other side of the table, there's always an option to rerelease a game as an emulated version for instance. They don't even have to do it themselves, they can just license the IP to companies willing to take the risk.

So the rights holder have no incentive to ever declare it "abandonware" nor give up on the IP, and rights last long enough that ignoring them for decades isn't enough to make them worthless.

The term I've heard is "demiregular".

Yes it makes the map a bit ununiform and awkward. But.

Another way to use it would be to treat it as a substrate for a tesselation composed of a set of tiles. Like 2 or 5 or whatever basic shapes, all based on that awkward tessellation, arbitrarily fitted together to fill the space.

The image at that third link takes an approach like that. An alphabet of approximately 20 shapes. (A "self tiling system" I think.)

I'm not sure how useful that is but there you go
Interesting question.. I believe it is down only in the US according to the original-original article. Other countries still solve the crimes at a very high rate. Second, in US, the ballistics records are not searchable. Federal government is prohibited from creating a national registry and while ATF has some records of guns, esp. from out of business dealers, it is not a searchable database. Third, not every bullet carries a clean indication of the gun which it was fired from. Depending on what stopped the bullet, it makes up for a large amount of guesswork. So, guns make the crime much harder to solve.
As a partner of an elementary educator in Canada, a master's degree no, but definitely an undergraduate with some amount of co-op.

Knowing how to teach well, to 25+ students, is not something you can pick-up over a handful of years. Many don't even after their degrees. Even if a school sets a lesson plan that's "perfect", you'd still need someone to adapt and tailor that plan to the classroom, or to students with special needs.

Lowering education standards is an absolutely surefire way of hamstringing the future of a state or country.
While I don't necessarily agree with AZ's direction, I also don't necessarily agree that a college education makes you less likely to screw up impressionable kids.
My wife has two friends who moved from Seattle to AZ to teach several years ago. Both had zero experience teaching anything and both had random unrelated college degrees and both were given a classroom full of children within weeks of arriving and essentially zero training or preparation.

Total pay was around $36k a year, albeit five years ago.

It is clear that parents in AZ want babysitting over an actual education for their children.
