> Have bad things happened? Yes. It's a war. Have Russian soldiers done some bad things? Almost certainly. Is there widespread or systemic murder of civilians and rape by Russian troops?.

They literally ask for permission to rape the Ukrainians from their partners.

https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-rape-russian-soldier-wife-by...

They literally executed civilians in Bucha.

If you want to learn more about the Russians armed forces sexual crimes in Ukraine you can find a depressingly large article here.

> This is not genocide either and false flags and exaggerations abound on all sides.

It is literally genocide per the UN definition of the word.

https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Russians are easily doing at least the last (forced transfer of children) and are arguably doing the first, and second based on the terrible conditions they leave the cities they level in leaving the Ukrainians to die in the street.

> No, that is not happening. And it makes sense as it would be counterproductive to Russia's aims.

The rape and deportation of locals to Russia is par for the course for the USSR's and Russia's conflicts. They did the exact same thing in Chechnya. If you want to learn more about the terrible crimes that Russia has committed in Ukraine and past wars (like Chechnya) look up what a 'filtration camp' is.

This isn't counterproductive to Russia's aims, it _is_ one of Russias aims.

> In short. Unadulterated bullshit.

In short, it's the Russian army doing Russian army things, at this point it seems they are incapable of conducting wars without committing a tonne of war crimes.
That’s why what Hertz is doing is so dangerous. Every false report is a life threatening situation. Their own lax inventory controls are the problem and they’re putting their customers’ lives at risk. Don’t ever rent from them.
Ironic. We shut down all the gyms because of COVID.
Not yourself
One company I applied to had their office in a light industrial area. It was normally a factory, but one of those cozier ones with huge roads, lots of parking, glass walls and lots of natural light. The area was a lot cheaper than an office too. Downside is it's away from public transport.

I believe a lot of the e-commerce Instagram-centric businesses set up there because the wide roads made deliveries easy. So you get a mix of tech savvy people who also have good fashion sense.

There's a cozy area with a shower and kitchen at the top of the building too, which was meant to be a place for factory workers to live.

>However, it’s important to realize that environment is generally fairly constrained in these studies. A Twin study is hardly comparing Sierra Leone with Japan, or the Netherlands with North Korea. Extremes like iodine deficiency, disease, or fetal alcohol syndrome are similarly exclude.

except if you look at the other comparisons made (eg. "Unrelated children—Reared together—Adults "), the correlation factor can go quite a bit lower than 0.7-0.8 (eg. 0.04). The fact the correlation can go this low casts doubt on your theory that the environment is "constrained".
Learning The Elite Class
That's one of those things that sounds relevant when you first hear it, but then if you spend a moment thinking about it you realize it isn't.

That job Y is higher risk than job X has no relevance to whether or not steps should be taken to mitigate risks on job X, unless either for some reason mitigating risks on job X would prevent mitigating risks on job Y and so those resources would be more effective going toward mitigating Y's risks, or you want to argue that there is some threshold and people in jobs whose risks are below that threshold should not try to mitigate those risks.
This is victim blaming. It's obvious who's the hacker and who's the rightful owner, but there's a Kafkaesque process blocking resolution of the issue, and apparently no access to any humans with authority to override the automated systems.
The telescope has had the mirror deployed for 6 months and so far it has had a single micrometeroid strike that exceeded expectations, and did some minor damage to a single mirror segment.

Even if this continues at roughly the same rate, the telescope will continue to function within the initial design specification for at least another year or two, and will be far from "offline within a year".

You can't extrapolate anything from a single event. It could have just been bad luck. If another one happens this year - then it's worth some concern.
Brestfeeding is definitely better than fomula for our 2 kids.

The older one had not enough breastfeeding and had much more minor illness over the years.

The younger one had all breastfeeding during the early time and only had 2 illness in the similar time period.

As for others, I cannot comment yet. Let's see.
Never understood the fascination of Americans for breastfeeding (and the crazy crazy associated shame for mothers who don’t breastfeed in the upper middle class): the data is garbage (as this article shows, , there’s no studies, and entire high income countries like France or China have low breastfeeding rates, and kids in those countries are obviously not stupid.
Foxit Reader was (is?) developed using MFC.
FWIW, changing the keyword and nomenclature for such a fundamental part of the language after so much time has passed is... not realistic. Any conversation around it is bound to be somewhat fraught, and happens often enough that people have gone over it and aren't particularly keen to retread it. To the person starting the conversation it might seem like people are handwaving away arguments or being dismissive.
My experiences in Germany, where most public transit has had an FFP2 (similar to N95) mask mandate for many months makes me question the effectiveness of mandates. It should work; Germans have a reputation for following the rules, and there is a very good supply of the mandated masks.

In reality, I'm not impressed. The number of unmasked people is substantial, and enforcement is limited. Non-filtering surgical masks are also common, and exactly once, I heard a train conductor politely ask a passenger with a surgical mask to wear a filtering mask next time. Ironically, the same mandate did not apply to staff, and the conductor was also wearing a surgical mask. I also see a lot of people wearing the correct type of mask incorrectly, not covering the nose, or with very loose bands that cannot possibly result in an effective seal.

I think I'd prefer a request to a mandate at this point. I'll wear FFP3 masks and do a quick leak test every time I put them on. People who pretend to wear masks to satisfy a mandate can stop pretending.
"soon" :-/

Even though much of the tech was invented and developed in the Bay Area, we're often among the last ones to receive the rollouts.

Living the fiber dream is a game changer, that sweet symmetric gigabit.
How to bounce back from a PhD-project failure
It could have been successfully moved into live action, but as the animation was built by creative genius, you'd need the same level of skill for a good live action. Maybe someone like Joss Whedon could have breathed life into it?

The show had potential, but the casting was bad, the character design was bad, the writing was bad, the directing was sub-par, and the aesthetic was 75% there which just isn't enough for something like this.
Unix didn't used to support VIM
I'm interested in the "strikes higher than expected" all I can find online is the one big strike a couple of weeks ago. Is there details online about the number it's getting?
OP is saying that the act of renting a car from hertz is akin to swatting yourself.

We really need jail time for CEOs
The only way you would beat chance would be if breastfeeding were the primary predictor of some sort of observable behavior. Obviously it’s not. But there’s a wide range between zero and the primary factor.
IMO a better/more subtle option: mandate at least 5-7 years of security patches for each device including for the kernel. Manufacturers will figure out real quick that their current practices are unsustainable in the long run.

Not better because I don’t think the drivers should be upstreamed, to be clear. Better because it leads the manufacturers to that conclusion on their own.
Uhh what? How did you get this?

In my experience it’s been the opposite. There’s stigma around breastfeeding in public. People aren’t breastfeeding and using formula because of a lack of education and the associated stigma.
But, due to more parts being present on an ICE car, isn't there a higher likelihood of something going wrong eventually?
Not many people are billionaires either, and anecdotal evidence (or maybe just internet pundits assertions?) suggests there’s probably some strong correlation between the two.

“Everybody has selfish instincts“, but the magnitude of “selfishness” required to amass a wealth of a billion dollars is way way beyond “normal”. Whether that guarantees sociopathy or not is not a simple question I guess.
Show HN and Heal HN
Sure, it can still be kind. But it is not an act of kindness, it is an act of social media.
Sounds like it would have been smarter to never have greenlit the project to begin with. I wonder how many of these types of shows were passed by HBO, so Netflix jumps on it, or if Netflix took it just so someone else couldn't, or any other number of situations that meant it was getting made not because of true desire to make that project but business
couldn't Google issue a statement that as of date X any new android licening agreement will stipulate that manufactures release the drivers source code and submit them to the Linux kernel team and threaten to revoke access to the google marketplace and other google services if they don't release the drivers. the manufacturers lost the leverage when they switched to android and the other major non iOS mobile os's died (palm, blackberry, whatever it was call mozilia tried ubuntu mobile etc). now there is only a market for android and ios with sub 1% other.
Convert an RV or large van into a mobile office and rent a place to park and power it... but really, for anyone interested, I would recommend investing in a home office. It is well worth spending a little extra on your housing if you need to. I have seen home offices in spare bedrooms*, bonus rooms*, sun rooms*, part of the master bedroom*, under stairs, stair landings*, utility rooms*, hallways*, dining rooms, converted garages*, converted attics*, sheds, and even modified RVs parked in the driveway (had an office in each *). It is pretty cheap/easy to build a small room just big enough for a desk and some cabinets in a large garage and still have space to park a vehicle. Of course it is best to dedicate a separate area for it. If you are looking for background activity/noise, well there is always getting out for a few hours a day to a community center, park, cafe/restaurant, bowling alley, etc. with your laptop, but it might be better to just focus on a social life after work. If you are concerned about feeling isolated at home, setup near a window, if that isn't possible place some cameras outside and setup a large monitor to display the live feeds WITH sound. If the concern is too many distractions at home, invest in sound proofing your home office.
Comparing random members of the general population has both genetics and environmental factors. To isolate the role of either genetics or the environment you need to then control the other factor thus twins for genetics or unrelated people who grow up in similar environments. But both of those comparisons run into problems if these differences don’t represent the full scope of differences with the added issue of similar environments not actually being identical.
> The conversation was regarding my personal experiences as a physician caring for people dying of COVID, so I was using "seen" literally, not as in "read" or "heard of."

Just because you've never seen something happen firsthand doesn't mean that it never happens, or even that it's particularly rare. For example, none of my computers have ever gotten ransomware, but I don't deny that ransomware is really common today.

> Do you think that news report "moves the needle?"

This feels like asking why you should bother voting, since one vote never really moves the needle by itself either.

> Did you read this part in the article you posted? "it is unclear whether or not his death was removed from the overall count in the state."

Yes, and it makes my point even stronger. Even for the most egregious, indefensible false COVID deaths like this one, we can't confirmation that they've actually been corrected. That leads me to think there's no hope whatsoever that any of the false ones that aren't this blatantly obvious will ever be corrected.

> Do you think that patients' right to privacy may make it difficult to know the details surrounding a death, leading to widespread, unfalsifiable, conspiratorial speculation?

If we can't get details of the death, why should we default to the assumption that it really was because of COVID?
I always thought the upstream speed was an artificial limitation so they could upsell "business internet" to people who wanted to host servers - and that they doubled down by reassigning your IP periodically if they saw a lot of incoming connections on layer 4. I did try hosting a server on my comcast cable internet for a while and the IP which I had for seven years prior did start changing every day - sometimes more frequently. Just a coincidence? Or is that really how they play things? When I set up Tor so I could reverse proxy into my server as a hidden service my IP stopped changing - though I did notice my IP got reassigned again a few days after I got a 4K tv and started streaming the UHD content.
Yes, "all" was an exaggeration.

But "racing in the 125cc class" vs. the sort of person who begins on a liter bike sort of amounts to the same kind of dichotomy I was thinking of.

People who have a career in one sport, may grow up playing a different sport, but they were still likely doing something that demanded endurance, strength, and coordination.
TBF I'm in a SF suburb and I get 10Gb/s down and 2Gb/s up for $40/month.
Google wired my city up as a tech demo. Their microtrenching approach was atrocious and resulted in frequent service interruptions and significant traffic disruption as they patched the same spots multiple times.

Eventually they decided the network was so damaged that they’d have to do a total rebuild, and that wasn’t interesting. They threw up their hands up and left, giving the city a few million to clean up the mess.

So, careful what you wish for.
It wasn't the worst thing I've seen on Netflix, but I never watched any of the original anime. Kind of like never reading the book before watching the Hobbit. Your opinion of that movie is much different from those that had.
Being a pet project of very senior engineer is not necessarily a bad thing. You know what? MapReduce, BigTable, Spanner, TensorFlow and tens of other important infrastructures were once Jeff Dean's toy projects. I don't think Google even can exist without them... Important thing is execution of the project, not its inception.
The Apple forums are consistently aggravating. With every question, cue the level X “community specialist” telling you to reset your SMC.
I personally haven't worked a day of overtime since around 2009.

I know that there are shops where overtime has lingered around. I know from speaking with ex-employees that Microsoft's Coalition did severe, brutal overtime in developing Gears of War 4 and 5. My impression overall though is that the amount of overtime in general in the video game industry has dramatically decreased since this article was written (at EA as well).
The show was racist in its attempt to not be racist. Aside from that, it obviously lacked from the initial perspective.
What about breastfeeding from the nipple vs drinking pumped breast milk?

Or breastfeeding from a wet nurse vs breastfeeding from one's biological mother?

Sounds like we still know so little, but I'd be curious about these two questions as well.
We also had good experience and it seemed a lot easier when looking at parents using formula. Easy for me to say as the father but mother agreed. She didn't work though which is a luxury not everyone can afford unfortunately.

Nobody wants to think they're a bad parent and the vast commercial interests here don't make this any easier.
Maybe someone like Joss Whedon could have breathed life into it?

Joss Whedon has his turn with Cowboy Bebop when it was called 'Firefly' :P
Matlab has some pretty great documentation.
I'm happy every time I get offered a job, despite not having a family.

Well, of course I have a family, but you probably get what I mean.
I chat with people at EA Canada from time to time and the impression I get is that it's a very good place to work (the people always try to lure you there!) with none of the sort of brutal overtime issues expressed. It's commendable that EA would have steered the ship around from 2004 and ended these awful practices.
Such an unblinking read. My only fear is that we are more likely to think this is really about someone else, and not keep these insights only reserved as a tool for introspection.

Even if some hard parts take one by surprise or resonate, sure, reflect, and then I think it's impossible to both recognize those parts and then do anything like them again. That's what makes it amazing writing, when you can't unread it.

Edit (later): There is something about psychology that pathologizes everything equally. There came a point where I started looking at what he meant by deprivation, and he makes it into a negative-moralization of wanting to be desired. What makes his analysis so compelling is that it logically lands every single time and does it so satisfyingly because it is predicated on a single basic inconsistency, and when your system is inconsistent you can prove anything in it.

Taking the basic human want to be desired by others, pathologizing it into a negative extreme, and then producing these parables that reduce to the characters not disproving the pathologized negative definition of their normal desire, is absolutely his hustle. Maybe I should thank him for letting me know that I was the sort of person he thought he could fool! Love the writing, but when the game rails seep through it feels a bit weird.

However, if it's true that economics is the dismal science, I have the impression that psychology is the cruel one.
It is so ridiculous that you can read https://www.jhuapl.edu/Content/documents/ARIS_LittleGreenMen... for an unclassified report from the US government about Russia's disinformation campaign and the Russian special forces with no insignia who showed up and got the nickname "little green men".

You can read https://www.files.ethz.ch/isn/193514/Nuclear%20Backed%20%E2%... for a Polish report on the same, and how Russia used nuclear posturing to keep the world from more emphatically calling Russia on its brazen lies.

Apparently the conclusions of multiple organizations, ranging from widely respected NGOs to national governments, seem ridiculous to you. That does not mean that they are ridiculous. It merely means that you've accepted a dose of Russian disinformation. Which they've been very competent at packaging.

But no, you just keep repeating propaganda lines and claiming that sourced statements are ridiculous. While offering no sources for your claims, and ignoring a variety of sources that you have been provided.

Lies do not become fact merely by being repeated enough. And Russian lies about spontaneous uprisings and Ukrainian atrocities do not become fact simply because you can't accept that those uprisings were conducted by Russian soldiers, and the shelling of Ukrainian civilians in 2014 began with Russian artillery operating on Russian territory. Confirmed by ballistics, satellite photos, and testimony from the people who were shelled.

Sources that you currently believe which say otherwise should be viewed with suspicion. Because they are lying to you.
+1 for "editing" and restructuring text on paper.

I have a script[1] I use to generate a zoomed out PNG version (barely readable) of any PDF document I'm working on. Recently I started printing out the resulting PNG on paper and "editing" and re-ordering chunks using scissors.

It was tremendously useful on a current chapter I was working on: I knew it was too long (60 pages) when I printed it out and the pages (even zoomed out at 20%) took up the whole room! After restructuring, I managed to cut it into sections that all fit on the table (20 pages max).

[1] https://gist.github.com/ivanistheone/536939e36a9dc0f9bb80969...

Use `--maxpages 5` command option for 20% zoom (five PDF pages per sheet). That's barely readable, but good for overview.
Have you looked at the United States recently?
> Half the time a new language...

Agree with the point, but Vala is pretty old (relatively speaking). It's been around for a while and the whole idea is to have a GTK/GObject-focused C-family language. Last I looked it was a C transpiler and may still be.
The only thing "ahead" for the Librem is their ridiculous backlog, and them stealing even more of their customers money.

I have been waiting over three years for the Librem. Every now and then, I inquire and every time I get an email saying it will be another 6 months, 12 at the worst. They don't even send email updates any more, the only emails I get are to "invest" in Purism buy buying junk shares. Yeah right, like I'm going to throw good money after bad!

I emailed them yesterday and guess what, it's still 6 to twelve months away! Don't bother asking for a refund either btw, because they won't give a refund back "until your device is ready to be delivered", i.e never.

So they take your money, never deliver a product, and refuse to refund. Great experience!

Stay away from Purism, stay far far far away. Won't be buying any of their products ever again.
I disagree, but I get a portion of my view on it from "The Ass Is A Poor Receptacle For The Head: Why Democrats Suck At Communication, And How They Could Improve". (https://www.amazon.com/Ass-Poor-Receptacle-Head-Communicatio...)

It goes into how Democrats get mired in reacting / reading / responding to everything, when detractors are acting in bad faith to consume their time / fill the airwaves and media.

I recommend the book. It's great, short, and applicable far outside Democrats / politics.
Why do people have to live in misery? (sort of a rhetorical question)

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell what is the bigger problem, having kids or that most people are living in misery, selling their life away for money and consumerism.

I can understand the argument for not having kids because you are bringing kids into this dystopia. But I could also see the argument of stop living and createing the dystopia.
