Because this time solidarity is in Germany's interests, duh.

>But resistance is coming from large natural gas utilities in Germany, like RWE, and from industrial customers as well. They want to buy their own gas and fear that they won't be allocated sufficient supplies by the EU.

Seems like the German definition of solidarity is that they get gas from others.
what do you mean by "tokenize"?
Plenty of countries that were not Germany predicted this. This was not some unique insight on his part.

Hunger is not only about not getting enough food, it’s about not getting enough of the right type of food for you genetically.

7 months in the US to be precise (if a recession started Jan 1, 2022, we find out on Jul 28, 2022).
There's also a prickly ash native (I think) to the american midwest. It must be pretty closely related to the sichuan one because the husks look very similar and have the same tingly property, though the other flavors are muted in comparison. It's equivalent to mediocre quality imported sichuan pepper.

I used to forage it back when we could only get the really shitty stuff in the states, though I haven't gone looking for it for years now since we can get the high quality easily these days.
> they eat less food than those with a normal BMI.

I found that really funny... did anyone really expected thin people do not eat less?

> Natural gas cannot be replaced by nuclear energy (or any other source of electricity) for many applications, at least not in the short term.

Yeah, turns out that the folks running things put on a hell of a campaign to keep nuclear from being researched, and keep fossil fuel profits rolling in.

This is the world we live in. It can take _months_ to switch if we organize ourselves properly, but good luck.

I have a similar background, I come from the natural sciences, did postdocs and then I moved into the tech work

1) Yes
2) Not that I know about and I know many (referring to biology/natural sciences, not CS/economics/business)
3) Very little. Academia (I am referring to biology and the natural sciences, not science, business and commerce) is as backward as it gets for certain (many!) things. When you get out of academia, you are forgotten. If you try to re-enter academia, you are a nobody.
Is Linux co-opting Windows or vice-versa?

The thing that kept Linux off the desktop all these years has been a consistent, backwards compatible ABI and user interface. Under the proposed scenario, MS will be the one providing these missing elements.

Which is the dog and which is the tail? And does anyone really care?
I'm the same. I stick to ~2000 calories a day and know that each pound is around ~3500 calories. If I gain some and want to take it off I'll work out a little more and know that any deficit contributes to taking away part of the ~3500 cals.

I don't obsess over this but it'll help me cut out some snacks or put in an extra mile or two on my runs (which is supposed to be around ~100 calories). Everyone is different but looking at weight loss/gain as an equation works for me if I notice my pants getting tighter.
"downfall of Europe"

Go look at some photos of Europe immediately post WWII. Especially Poland and Germany.

If we survived that and rose again from literal ashes, we won't be done in by one winter without Russian gas. This continent withstood a lot worse than a limited period of expensive heating.
No, most europe and the us told germany it relies too much on a single source of energy. Schroeder, Merkel, both were in bed with russia’s oil and gas tsars. Nord Stream’s ceo is a former stasi officer, ursula is corrupt and many many alternative pipelines have been pushed back in favour of we know who. Please dont mix everyone else in. As you can see some german commenters even admit to germany wanting to push for eu wide de nuclearisation. Some even go as far as saying germany shouldnt get involved in east europe - despite it making copious amounts of profits from the region, with many policies actually preventing development there in favour of germany. The eu needs reform so that it works nicely for all members. It can be done but germany needs to take a welcome step back and to stop sanctioning allies each time they have dissenting opinions. Germany’s economy was subsidised by dirty energy and the policies of the eu it controls have done it favour too much and too long.
There's one name that sums up the issues in Ukraine better than perhaps any other: Stepan Bandera [1]. He was killed in 1959, yet remains a major figure in understanding the divide in Ukraine. He was even made a Hero of Ukraine (Ukraine's highest honor) before that honor was annulled by Yanukovych (the president overthrown in 2014) on a technicality.

Going down that rabbit hole or learning about things like the "2014 Odessa Clashes [2]" (and think about how we would treat that event, or even call it, had it happened to the side that we're supposed to like) or even the Language Policy in Ukraine [3], and you can actually start to see how deep in information warfare we currently are. And it's unpleasant.

I am avoiding doing much beyond giving references for you to read yourself largely because of what you mentioned. In the current atmosphere it's basically impossible to actually discuss the war in an open fashion, and probably will remain so for years to come.

There is currently almost no gas used for electricity generation in Europe (much too expensive). Even under normal conditions, heating and industry consume an order of magnitude more gas than electricity generation.
its so good, isn't it? Sichuan chili oil has become my favorite condiment. I make it at home in batches and add it to practically everything.

It is absurd that we're having "energy crisis" when we have the technological know-how to build nuclear energy, literally a solved problem.
Then why, as a chronically skinny person in my 50's, have I always been cold all the time? I've never felt like I "run hot".
I understand your metaphor, but you've failed to address time. The problem is not leaving with half a tank. The problem is the time required to "refill" the tank. The equivalent being baud rate or whatever measure you want to use to account for the bus limitation.
There seems to be a lot of people in this thread conflating "feeling" hot with having an elevated metabolic rate, but I think these will be at best coincidentally concordant.

Anecdote vs anecdote, my wife is always cold, but she's the naturally-thin-never-exercises one, whereas I am the ever-sweaty always-hot one that exercises regularly, and I'm usually overweight.

Or, for example, patients with fever have an objectively elevated temperature by definition, and usually report chills (and ask for extra blankets).

How do you define former space state?

For example, IIRC the UK is the only country that voluntarily gave up all launch capabilities (they're trying to reverse this though). The US had a patch not too long ago where we couldn't launch humans ourselves (getting people to the ISS was outsourced to Russia)
Yes, this is the conventional wisdom, and 100% also works. Put simply, "to lose weight, eat less."

Cutting out something specific without replacing it can work wonders. For instance, cut out sugar water (soda) and do not replace it with anything. You don't need to count calories, you will take in fewer of them, and you will lose weight.

> "it's really hard to burn more than you eat"

Yes, flip side is "or burn more" which, 100% agree, is incredibly difficult. As I noted, most people don't have the will to make themselves feel sick from anaerobic effort.

> He concludes that "Shakespeare was a poor storyteller".

He certainly does not, or, if he says those words, he's being deliberately facetious.

He says: “I have in fact told you why this is respected as a masterpiece. We are so seldom told the truth. In Hamlet, Shakespeare tells us we don’t know enough about life to know what the good news is and what the bad news is, and we respond to that. Thank you, Bill.”
#2 This won’t help the millions of people who depend on their places being heated by gas - it’s going to be an existential threat for many.

First financially, then physically once the pipes run dry.

You can’t fix the infrastructure at that scale this quickly and winter isn’t far away.
Serious question here - I swear I'm not trolling and I've been asking myself this same question...'

Would you be fine with it if you were on the margin?

I have this same attitude about inflation in the US and rising interest rates. Good - we need to get the situation under control. But I'm not living on the margin. It affects me, but not really. I'll be fine. So I don't really have any skin in the game here. Not yet.
Jambu!! My wife and I are obsessed with this stuff, hah. We went to north Brazil (near Fortaleza) to spend time with her family. Her stepdad kept trying to find cachaça (pronounced "cashasa") infused jambu for me to try. No luck. Even in Brazil jambu is not that well known and is hard to find. It's easier to get in the north (closer to where it grows supposedly). We've been doing a running poll where we ask all her Brazilian friends, family, etc if they've tried jambu and most have never heard of it. Back to our time in north Brazil: eventually we're at a wonderful gourmet restaurant and we ask if they have any jambu and the waiter goes to the kitchen and comes back with the chef. Not only did they have a quality cachaça with jambu for us to try but the chef also prepared a jambu flower with some kind of oil. My whole mouth got numb. Also if you find yourself quite drunk the first time you try cachaça with jambu (like I was) take care to only have a little sip because a big one could make you throw up. Side note Brazilians call the "pins and needles" sensation of having a leg fall asleep "formigando" which comes from their word for ants ("formiga"). In other words instead of "pins and needles" they think of it as ants crawling on your leg. Anywho jambu is definitely an experience and Brazil is a very cool place. Also you can gain brownie points with Brasilians by spelling Brasil with an "s" ;D

You usually cannot appeal simply on the basis that you believe the jury made the wrong decision, i.e. on the basis of an error of fact.

There has to be an error of law (e.g. the judge have a wrong jury instruction, or evidence was inappropriately allowed/excluded, or the trial was allowed to continue when a mistrial should have been declared) or other constitutional basis, like ineffective counsel.

In some cases, appeal courts will decide that there could be no basis for conviction once the flaw is corrected (in which case a conviction can be reversed), but oftentimes the appropriate outcome is to remand the case back to the lower court for retrial.
Thanks!

I'll take a look, I'm much happier in Python than JS so a big plus for me.
My comment has nothing to do with the actual issue in contention. I am merely suggesting that people on both sides have their reasons and one side ridiculing the other is inappropriate behavior. I can guarantee you would have a completely different perspective if you actually got to sit down and have a meaningful conversation with people, which hateful tribal politicking you are doing actively hampers.
Fun fact:

Nearly all gas turbine power stations can also run on oil. Oil is usually a backup method in case the gas supply is disrupted, but it is possible for them to run on oil continuously. The exact oil type required differs, but some can use Diesel/Petrol/Kerosene/ethanol/hydrogen or sometimes even unrefined crude oil.

With gas prices so high, many are already running on oil, and that's part of the reason Diesel/Petrol prices are so high, even though the price of crude oil hasn't gone up much for months.

On charts of power generation, they still show up in the 'gas' category, even if they're burning oil. As far as I know, apart from the tanker of fuel arriving every 10 minutes day and night there is no way to know what they're burning.
I suspect the author wanted you to notice the similarity between 7 and 8 when you got to them, not at the beginning of the article.
Gas plants are almost universally peaker plants, designed to quickly ramp up and down, while nuclear plants are almost universally baseload.

There’s nothing in principle stopping us from building peaker nuclear reactors, but nobody except the military ever does so. As a result, nuclear largely cannot substitute for gas without massive storage systems that don’t exist.
#3 can't create power infrastructure out of nothing in 6 months.

Option #4 is ration gas. It won't be pleasant but it's possible.
The article says the low BMI people ate "12% less food" (presumably that's measured in calories), though it may not be fully true that they're "less hungry". There's a very common tendency to assume that the satiety response is based on how many calories you eat, but perhaps unless you're actually starving, it mostly isn't! Primarily, you feel sated when your stomach is or has recently been full of food, but that's based more on the mechanical stretch of the food on the walls of your stomach than anything else (cf. laparoscopic bands and gastric bypass being incredibly effective at causing morbidly obese people to lose weight -- they're literally just making the stomach effectively smaller).

There's certainly some truth to "running hotter" as well, at least in some of those subjects, but I'll bet that many of them are habitually eating a less energy-dense diet than heavier people, rather than feeling less hungry for any more innate reason. Dietary energy density has been investigated in lots of experimental and observational studies and found to do an overall very good job of predicting current BMI, long-term weight loss, and in metabolic ward experiments, ad libitum caloric intake.

That's true, although I think in the case of Go, it is a central design decision to make single-binaries easy so it's more of an exception to the rule.

I don't think it's an inherent feature of scripting languages that they are hard to distribute. I'm pretty sure it's possible to package up a tiny Lua interpreter (or e.g. QuickJS) and all necessary scripts into a standalone file.
They do as far as my observation can be a valid evidence. A decade ago when I went to a hospital in China, the line to the ailments of the stomach and intestine was the longest, and this was true in several hospital across different provinces.
It could but so would accelerating solar and wind deployments.

At this point those are probably more cost effective solutions. Trying to restart a reactor that youve been going through the shutdown process for about 5 years is probably going to cost more.

It's super weird how many people think this restarting the nuke plants is a solution. It'll cost a lot and wont make much overall difference.

(of course, neither will anything else really... there are zero short term solutions to Germany's russian gas dependence other than kowtowing).
Things have dramatically improved in the last 18 years. That's not to say that crunch doesn't happen, or that there aren't studios that abuse their employees, but large companies like EA have all moved past this death march for months model. Ubisoft is generally considered to be an excellent employer - reasonable pay, good work life balance and career/progression systems available for everyone. It's still not perfect, but 8ts not this!
They are enough to f*ck up Russian logistics behind the lines. Without a massive supply of shells from the rear to the guns themselves, the Russian artillery is incapable of executing their beloved "bomb everything into pieces" WWI-style doctrine.

And the Ukrainians have destroyed an untold number of Russian ammo dumps in the last weeks. Some of the explosions have been truly spectacular. This isn't something you can easily remedy. Any new ammo dump in range will be quickly spotted by either American spy satellites or local Ukrainian spies that are probably still active in Donbass - and get blasted to hell.

HIMARS is not enough to reconquer the lost territories, true. But it is enough to give Russians a forced operational pause.

You're probably already aware, there is evidence that Beethoven was not completely deaf.

According to a leading Beethoven expert, the composer still had hearing in his left ear until shortly before his death in 1827.

“Not only was Beethoven not completely deaf at the premiere of his Ninth Symphony in May 1824, he could hear, although increasingly faintly, for at least two years afterwards, probably through the last premiere that he would supervise, his String Quartet in B-flat, Op 130, in March 1826,” Albrecht said.

Nice! That's my exact plan if I ever get a real garage. I labelled mine on colored masking tape which is a nice way to quickly get to the right contents.
I think that was one of the avenues they considered, but ultimately they didn't come up with any particular diagnosis and told me not to worry about it since they ruled out the obvious dangerous causes.
My uninformed bet is that a) Russia likes money more and b) if they wanted to cut the delivery of gas they would have done it already

They like playing the panic angle of course, and closing the tap once in a while, but I think it's mostly hot air

There is a short book called something like "Leadership and the One Minute Manager" that talks about 4 different kinds (maturity levels) of reports, and the different treatment each needs, depending on their high or low levels of confidence and competence. (Maybe "the one minute manager" is good also; some recommend it but I haven't read it yet.)

And maybe the realization that everyone is in a different place, for different reasons (a different combination of experiences and choices made), so what helps or doesn't help them could vary.

Absolutely, the mental aspects of hunger are huge, as anyone who has ever had the munchies (super hungry) or taken adderall (super not hungry) can attest.

We should have given up eastern Ukraine, negotiate peace. Better surrender a part than destroying the whole country. We get hyperinflation, giving money to USA's weapons industry, general destabilization, and a lot of dead Ukranians. All because it's politically weak to negotiate with Russia. Only Macron tried and he was sadly ridiculed. Does nobody remember how Sarkozy helped with Georgia's peace negotiations?
