The only distance between the Eastern European countries and the US is that the former want a stronger response, while the US is still leaving "escalatory" options on the table (ATACMS, Bradley based IFVs, Western Tanks, etc).

The former Warsaw block countries know intimately how Russia treats its "buffer areas".

All Russia has to do is GO HOME. They are the invaders and the aggressors.
“ I am worried that I will delay that decision and end up in a situation where I lose my faculties to make that decision.”

Same. I have cognitive issues from m.s. and intend to move somewhere where my desire is respected. My quality of life already sucks, so I may make the decsision sooner than would normally be expected.
Yes, but the point is that most doctors would treat less than patients and their families if it were their choice.
End of life treatments are, I assume, very profitable, because either they'll be covered by insurance, or they'll be paid by the deceased's estate. They'll probably get paid the full asking price rather than having to give a discount too.
Firefox's Moment of Opportunity – Could It Follow Apple's Path?
Today's ThinkPads may not have all the same features as the classic ThinkPads, but they are still, by far, the best laptops you can buy. Dell and HP might be made of the same components but they pale in quality when you compare the whole package, case, keyboard, build quality...
No, it was the opposite. Getting stuck at 10nm was actually due to being unwilling to do new things. They refused to transition to extreme UV lithography. Gelsinger himself has admitted this in interviews.

I clearly don't think what the administration did here is good. But I don't exactly align with the students, either. Thought experiment: let's go back to the days when we always had hardwired desktop computers at every desk. Their locations and network addresses are known. Usage is logged locally and centrally, e.g. in Active Directory. Would logging require IRB approval? Once the logs were collected, would running a report on the logs to show how much usage each workstation was getting, and by whom, require IRB approval? It doesn't really seem like a science experiment to me, just logistics. (And I think the "we're not doing science here" issue was not understood or handled in good faith by the students. Technically, any time someone says "Hmm, I wonder...let me check something...aha!" is science.) But I also acknowledge that there are situations where you would need to err on the side of treating it like an experiment even if there is doubt.
Agreed. The tool chain help in here is very useful for a beginner.
This is not about perfection, as is, unless I missing something, your suggested solution does not solve the problem.

There are numerous ways for a system to authenticate a user without the endpoint requesting the authentication knowing who the user is — or the system verifying the user knowing what endpoint system is requesting the authentication; only the user knows both who they are and the endpoint they want access to.
Nothing. The old school "information wants to be free" nerds and the tech companies they founded have irreversibly conditioned the public not to pay for anything on the Internet so now everybody and everything dances to the tune of ad brokers/advertisers to make their living. Until a new revenue model comes along to replace ad dollars, nothing is going to change no matter how many people grumble abut it.
For me, the real dehumanizing aspect is the one-sided and covert rewriting of the workplace rules. They could easily get the same information they want by having people sign in, or reserve space in time increments (although I'm not really sure how this lab works in terms of allocating space.) In that case everyone knows what data is recorded and its level of detail.

It depends on your jurisdiction. Some products fall under the Consumer Product Safety Act, others falls under different regulations. In Canada marks are required, in the US it depends on where you are and where you're installing it e.g. is it for home use or a hospital's internal network?

If your house burns down using an uncertified product, your insurance company may not also cover the claim. Personally I prefer to run electronics that I know are tested to not burn down my house or electrocute my children when they fail.
Really sounds to me like all those flimsy excuses are just fabrications to obfuscate an ulterior motive behind the sensors. It's very sinister and dishonest, like the person authorizing their usage and answering questions about that decision either doesn't fully understand why they're doing what they're doing, has no regard for the ethical issues involved with invasive surveillance as well as no concern for misuse of resources, or hiding something. Perhaps all of the above.

I’d think b is exactly the opposite. More b is less productivity from my experience, 100% of the time.
An essay by Peter Norvig
If you only need a couple 10G-BaseT ports you can get 10G SFP+ modules which in my experience work well enough. They do get quite hot, but I only needed 10G-BaseT for my desktop whilst everything else at 10G is DAC.
Modern ThinkPads are unfortunately also not very repairable. Replacing the USB-C port on the X1 Carbon is a 1 hour Job. The RAM is soldered on. Replacing the keyboard requires disassembling everything. Replacement parts are prohibitively expensive because Lenovo keeps the prices high. It's still better than Apple though.
The everything bubble gave a lot of people the mistaken impression that they were genius tier investors. I know I personally spent a lot of emotional energy on checking my own ego.
Firefox, for the illusion of privacy it provides over Chrome, without requiring much effort on my part.
Before COVID threw everything into disarray, a friend was telling me they had at least one building that was really bursting at the seams for space. I don't think they did any automated usage monitoring but they did manually check utilization on a regular basis and asked people who weren't using their assigned desk frequently enough to give up their permanent seat. Which seems very reasonable.
Firefox + arkenfox user.js + Custom user.js overrides + Firejail + AppArmor + Iptables

Firefox at least for now still gives some semblance of control over the browsing experience addons, configurable options, etc... and can be partially hardened using user.js + firejail + apparmor. It is not perfect but I can't force websites to all be 100% compatible with eLinks/Lynx text browsers and the future PipBoy wrist browser. DNS overrides in local Unbound DNS daemon on my firewall/router.

At times I chain this to a Squid MITM SSL-Bump proxy to get more control over client/server headers but more and more sites give me captchas when I originate from a server/vps provider.

The one missing piece for me is having full control over the NetworkID in about:networking -> Network ID.
i'm sure you're right, but it's much closer than where I am today. I would like access to a proper z/OS machine so I can write some Go, but right now I'll take what I can get.

Well I don't think they were asking in an adversarial way like you might find on SO.

Seems as if they just wanted some insight into my decision making process and why I chose to do x over y so they can better make the decision themselves.

Oh, wait.
I sure fantasized about it.
I had to make the decision to stop medical intervention and start palliative care for my 92-year-old father. He had developed an infection, exacerbated by poor circulation and a reluctance to seek medical care. He was hospitalized, given massive amounts of antibiotics, and rallied it a bit. They told us he might be able to go home if he could get around on his own. He was sent to a rehab center but soon declined without the hospital's level of care and was re-hospitalized. This happened a few times, the rally was less each time. Finally, it was impossible to ignore the reality of what was happening despite the doctors' willingness to keep going. He had explicit instructions regarding end-of-life care but my mom couldn't make the decision so I had to. The hospital set up a quiet private room for him and he slipped away quietly in the night before he could be moved to hospice.

I totally understand families not wanting to give up but you have to ask "who are you doing it for, yourselves or them?"
I’ll counter with my own anecdote…
My BIL passed earlier this year after a life of alcohol and drug abuse led to organ failure. He made peace with his fate and was ready to go. But, the hospital placed him in a coma and on a ventilator. Then made it extremely difficult to have him moved to hospice and removed from the vent. It took days of phone calls, lawyers, and social workers to allow him to die. This caused much unnecessary stress for my wife, who was the only family member present. This was at a facility run by Floridas largest hospital group. I wonder if it was profit or their own religious affiliation that caused this? Either way, it wasn’t as simple to let a family member pass on as it should have been.
Not sure why you're being so downvoted, must be people who haven't read Darwin or know about mass extinction from things like floods and meteorites - like that wiped out most dinosaurs.

If we don't get society under "control" - and not through the ideological-tyrannical effort underway globally currently - but through voluntarily taking action through adequate organization of listening to and following competent leadership (voting with our dollars, say by buying a Tesla vehicle, etc) - then we'll probably destroy most humans/life on Earth anyhow and whatever survives will be able to continue to evolve; and maybe, if any humans remain, they'll be wise enough to pass on and successfully counter tyrannical forces that exist within the human genome.
Yes, this stuff needs to be discussed by every family, at length, and years before stuff starts to happen. I have not heard of 5 wishes before now, but my family had health-care directives as well as power-of-attorney written up by a law firm that specializes in elder law. This was super valuable. There are also serious financial implications for families who end up with someone in a nursing home.

"End-of-life" gets really complicated and bureaucratic at one of the most stressful and challenging times for families. It's really important to plan ahead for this time, in advance, when everyone is thinking clearly and rationally.
The main difference is that you don't have to host anything. For most people, setting up servers (likely for multiple architectures) is time consuming, expensive, and wasteful (since your server is sitting idle while you/your team sleep).

There are of course situations in which you'd prefer that, though!
I worked at a company in the early 1990s that ran its business on an IBM System/36. It was basically a System/360 but one tenth of the size and expense! This was the only minicomputer I ever encountered, and I was not responsible for it. I was there to work on the "micros" (Windows PCs). I remember the System/36 programmer making comments about PC techs not being "real" computer operators or programmers. She was nearing retirement at that time, and if she is still alive I imagine she is enjoying a comfortable pension.
That is true, and to add: If you are not careful with your additional clause you easily violate Debian's Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). The guidelines are used to determine whether your software can be included in Debian. If that is important to you a clause that adds additional restrictions (like green energy use) is out.

Ukraine built a dam to cut off water flowing to Crimea, so it wouldn't be the first time.

That being said, it is war and both sides are doing shady shit even if we only hear half the stories.
> IRV would then eliminate two theocracies in the first round

Either I failed to communicate the situation I intended or one of us is very wrong about how IRV works.

Reducing the society to 20 people to simplify the proper language a little: We have 7 ballots that start "A;S;...", 6 ballots that start "B;S;...", 6 ballots that start "C;S;...", and one ballot that starts with "S". IRV considers the options in first place, sees that S is the least (only one person ranked it first), and eliminates that option. Which theocracy is picked will depend on things further down the list, but it will never be secularism. In the best case it will pick A, which would lose to S 13:7 in a head to head vote.

If we believe that "the appropriate compromise" between people with genuine disagreement will typically not be anyone's first choice, IRV specifically systematically excludes that appropriate compromise.
I just resurrected my old T410 from 2010 which had a "FAN ERROR" at boot. I just unscrewed and screwed back a screw that was attaching the fan, I guess, and it went back as on the first day. My T60 from 2007 never had a problem and is still kicking.
My nostalgia for the ThinkLight is not for the light itself, which was all but useless, but for a past where there were things outside your computer that you might want to read. Now everything is behind the screen.

I don't think healtcare workers are more qualified than anyone to say there are fates worse than death, besides I don't think it's true.
I will be a contrarian - but as you pointed we are many - and recommend against K&R. C is a simple language to learn but a hard language to master.

C has few concepts. You can learn to write C in an hour with a couple of web pages. Then you have to learn how to implement the most useful data structures but that’s not difficult either. What’s hard is writing safe code in a maintainable way and K&R does very little to teach you that properly.
It's not about the past it's about now.

And as far as I can tell their methods are subpar for today. This in no way means that they didn't work well in the past. Or didn't do a lot of good things in the past. But times change.

And I'm also not saying they are not useful today anymore, I'm saying their methods don't work well anymore and could lead to them becoming increasingly irrelevant and powerless which would be a loss of all consumers and most developers.
I'm curious, why do you say "at this point in time"?

Why not, after all I've been paying for subsidized healthcare for 20+ years without getting anything in return.
Mind linking to some examples? The closest I was able to find were a few videos of explosions (but unclear as to whether someone actually died) with a reaction face.
Cat vids. Minecraft. Makup tutorials. Girls in bikinis falling down. This is the way of youtube. Everything else is on thin ice 24/7.
Yep, so the copper thieves (this time) are innocent.
> I am worried that I will delay that decision and end up in a situation where I lose my faculties to make that decision.

I'm concerned about that too. Broadly, the circumstances in which I'd want to get it over with painlessly are circumstances where it's hard to see what I could do about it, like if I'm immobile in a hospital bed. I want a stash of Nembutal in my medicine cabinet, that's the drug recommended by Exit International; but I can't get it. You sometimes see sellers offering it on dark markets at $600 for 10g, but typically they have zero trades and zero reputation.
More people, commoditization of tech workers, more dependence on a consumption-heavy lifestyle, less local sense of community, real estate costs growing disproportionately, in combination with the mandate to cut expenses that was always there.

"Inhuman Resources" would be a badass title for a movie about a company that hired vampires and stuff.
- Geometry (Euclidean Geometry)

- Algebra (Linear Algebra)

- Calculus & Analysis

- Physics

Many university curricula include linear algebra and vector calculus.
Physics is mandatory for all engineering disciplines.

Therefore, my suggestion would be to preserve the language of our universe and abstract thinking patterns (i.e. mathematics) and the rules of our universe (i.e., physics).

Those 2 are the absolute minimum, I would say, to rebuild modern civilization from scratch.

This is kind of an aggressive take on it. It's circles around targets and often shows a bomb or grenade. When I read your comment I thought you meant there was gore; there was not.

It's true that this guy is essentially profiting off tragedy, though. It's war porn. Not upset at all if he's lost his funding.
I consider it reasonable to say that something is wrong as long as it remains wrong.

You might say it does no good to complain but I say it does no good to stop complaining.

The cost of launching to space has declined by orders of magnitude over the last 50 years and can be expected to decline by orders of magnitude more in the coming decades.

At one point, air travel was reserved for the richest of the rich, and today hundreds of millions of people fly every year. There's no reason the same couldn't happen with space flight.
And the great thing about an Amazon ransomware attack is that if your implant waits long enough to trigger, you can probably get the customer to return the device to Amazon where they'll dutifully stock it back in their warehouse ready for another victim. So efficient.
Obviously I meant delayed as much as possible.
Honestly, I'd take any invasive procedure over death, no questions asked.
I wouldn't argue they aren't profitable, but there is a good chance Medicare is covering it, which is substantially lower reimbursement than private insurance.

If they have a limited volume of beds, I'm sure a focus on profit would drive a private patient getting care versus an elderly Medicare patient.
It's mandatory to get published. "Science" is unquestionable and don't suffer contradiction.

Incidentally this is exactly what a few so-called conspiracy theories (aka hypothesis in the old world) predicated a few years ago.

No, wife is a doctor and she faced this many times. Doctors in such places are never working there for the money, if you consider them as such you are just projecting your morals on other people.

Its almost always the family - they just can't let go or have some christian type of excuse. Thus their moral weakness causes tremendous amount of suffering of their closest ones. And doctors have to obey family wishes, even if they personally wouldn't chose to, which is true for most doctors in such situations.

I've been been recently an unfortunate witness to one of the cases when its not closest family - grandmother of my wife was nearing her end, suffering tremendously. Her daughter, my mother in law who is a nurse and teaches nursing too and knows all staff of their hospital very well was looking for some strong painkillers ie morphine to help her with final sufferings, which went on about for a week. As her mom didn't want to die in hospital, nobody was willing to sign receipt, not even close personal friends (mind you we don't have opioids crisis in the country, so its not controversial to give them to 92 year old dying). Some folks from closer family or friends even said its fine to suffer before the end, to shorten/skip purgatory, or some similar religious bullshit. One of those times when I hated christianity and its believers more than ever, you know those. As they say, you will know true friends when you need them the most.

Switzerland is, as usually quite ahead on this - assisted suicide. Folks from all over the world come here to die peacefully, in full control. Ie Alain Delon is going through the process of getting this done right now. It doesn't cover all possible situations, but it gives certain control and dignity in times where most people have none left. Me personally, if facing such a situation, would do grand farewell gathering with all, sign my will and go somewhere in the nature to die quietly, ie jump from some cliff or overdose on heroin (first and last dose, but they say its quite an experience).
