> Do you really think the US President would shoot first?

There’s another option. The US making another country so fearful of regime change or destruction that they fire first. And the US has repeatedly attempted and accomplished regime change, several times resulting in the death of the former leader of the country.

Also, yes. The US would fire first if it were losing a conventional war, which of course would be unlikely in the next few decades. We’ve already seen that the US did use nukes to avoid losses invading the Japanese mainland.

Haha, no.
As much as they can squeeze.
When you have six figure employee numbers, the internal tools have more users than many startups do. You start to find that off the shelf tools don't work any more and you need to have people customizing them. Then you start seeing things that are specific to the company - people walking too far to get to conference rooms, and someone staffs up a tool to optimize meeting room allocations. You end up with tons of people working on things that are invisible to end users just to keep the machine running.
Yeah the app script integration makes it even better.

It needs more resources not less, especially for the inbuilt fetching APIs, like Google finance
It works so well for seated driving/flying sims.

Personally, I don't feel like "your device has to connect to the same wifi network as your computer once a week" is going to be a problem for the vast majority of people.

However, if you can't possibly live with that 7 day limitation, you can upgrade to a paid developer account, and only have to resign apps once a year.
I can’t help myself and get caught being an Apple fanboy from time to time. Screw Apple for being this way, I just want a multi-user experience on an iPad so my kids and I have different apps on login. Nope, buy two iPads.
Having an idea of how employees feel, as well as an outlet for their frustration, can be productive.
The price of eggs increased 38% year ending in August. Inflation doesn't hit all areas equally.
I would guess that a large part of the discrepancy is due to the wholesalers' increased costs. I've noticed in an unrelated industry (HVAC) that the middleman supply houses have increased their prices at a rate that outpaces the big box stores or the manufacturers themselves. As with many things today, labor costs seem to be the real killer, and staffing a business that needs to handle ordering, receiving, stocking, and often redelivery of materials is expensive.

It's probably also fair to point out that businesses tend to be less price-elastic/sensitive than retail end-consumers. I, personally, am unwilling to purchase rainbow sprinkles if they exceed some reasonable cost, an elasticity I'd imagine a bakery doesn't have the luxury of when they have cupcakes to sell.
improved treatment for an existing ailment or condition should be considered covered under universal healthcare coverage.

I think it's cosmetic surgery or non-health-threatening treatments that would not be covered.

There's a question to be asked here though: would treatments such as laser eye surgery, where the condition being treated _already_ has an existing, cheaper treatment, be considered covered?
Old techniques are just as good as the new ones :)
If you have a specific problem you are trying to solve, I'd recommend just reading papers and looking up things you don't understand.
Otherwise, if you're just looking for general knowledge, a class could be helpful.
Actually… A probabilistic event should be given as a combination of percentage and timeframe, e.g. 1% for the coming year, which means 1 such event in 100 years.

I just took a new job at a company that uses Workspace and it drives me nuts for two reasons. The biggest is that Sheets is awful compared to Excel.

The second is having work in a browser tab. It’s so much easier to keep things organized when switching around between programs when you have an actual app.
You mean on M1. On x86 it is pretty fast. Basic stuff is usable but try Java on a x86 VM on M1 (the Java program I need has a lot of .so compiled for x86 so no choice)
It wasn't originally their product. It came with the Sun Microsystems acquisition. Sun themselves acquired Virtualbox close to selling to Oracle. Sun never monetized their products well, hence their demise.
So you admit that you're probably wrong, that you have done no research, but because someone else agrees with you you choose to believe it anyway? Well I appreciate the honesty at least
And if they find out you've been using it commercially (even just your home machine you have a non-running copy on connecting to your company's VPN network) without an existing licence, they're squeezing your balls in open court.
In that period, Europeans and much of the world felt a God given right to conquer and subdue everyone else.

Europe had some of the nastiest religious wars of conquest they've seen. Christians were fighting each other. Christians and Muslims were fighting each other. Christians and Muslims were enslaving White slavics. African kingdoms were fighting and enslaving each other. African Kingdoms were just starting to export slaves to Europe. It was a nasty time for most of the world, and the treatment that the Native Americans got was no exception. However, they were in a specially poor position to defend themselves.

Many of the Great North American civilizations had just collapsed due to climate change, and shortly thereafter they were ravaged by new diseases that they had no immunity to.
That's my point. Eventually everyone gets an 'A' and there's no place to go.

There is a difference in the phrase "judging wine" here:

1) "I can identify from the wines you have previously liked that you are likely to like this particular wine that I have personally tasted."

If you find someone good, this is generally not bullshit. They are incredibly useful. And they will probably like you very much if you just be very honest about what you like.

Sadly, only two wine buyers I have ever known who were this good.

This is like having a friend who has a house full of CDs or records that he listens to all the time. If you tell him "I like X, Y and Z" he can tell you "You will almost certainly like Q, and you should take a flyer and give V a try even though you might not like them."

2) "If you give me a food, I can pair wines with it that will complement the flavors".

Really good sommeliers can do this and it is not bullshit. This is the first category with a lot of experience tasting foods and wines together.

And, like all humans, sometimes they get it wrong.

My most fascinating conversations with sommeliers have been when I didn't like a pairing, and I made polite comments about it (for example: "I liked the pairings of the first and third courses, but the second course wine, which was fine by itself, really wasn't to my taste with the food. My wife liked the second and third pairings, but wasn't a fan of the first."). Be forewarned: if the sommelier has the time and latitude, you are likely to get interrogated if you show some interest. CAUTION: You may also wind up drinking far more wine than you expect.

3) "I can identify a Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2010 Pauillac Premier Grand Cru Classe from a glass."

This is where the giant heaping mounds of bullshit enter. Unless a wine has a very unique flavor profile that makes it stick out from wines in general, they're not going to be very distinguishable from other similar wines of similar class.

And, you know what, it doesn't matter. Your palate may not even like that very expensive bottle of wine. So be it.

At the end of it all: drink some wine you are likely to enjoy. Most of the time it will be pleasant. Sometimes it will be a miss. Now and then it will be superb. Relish the moment.
The US has accomplished regime change in weak (politically unstable) non-nuclear countries. The only threat of regime change Russia faces is internal.

The idea that the US would use nuclear weapons in response to losing a conventional war is not well founded. One would not necessarily consider Vietnam nor Afghanistan as conventional wars, but they were lost, and nuclear strike did not happen.

I don't really see any likelihood for the US using nuclear weapons in a _deliberate_ first strike outside of parts of the continental US being invaded and occupied.

It helps a lot that reading code (at least for me) is much faster than writing code, so you can do more of it.

How to select good wine, the idiot's guide:

1. If you see it in your local liquor or grocery store, it's mass-produced so it's probably crap

2. If it's <$20, it's probably crap

3. If it's less than 2 years old, it's probably crap (or needs time to mature)

4. If the label looks flashy, comical, amusing, or otherwise overly graphic, it's probably crap

5. Try lots of wine. Make a spreadsheet. Narrow down what kinds of wine you like over time.

6. Pick the grape you like.

Reds: Merlot has a lot of body and alcohol. Cabernet Saugivnion is similar but more tannins. Both of them are mass-produced and often cheap and crappy, but can also be great. Zinfandel has a lot of body, is jammy with black fruit flavors. Pinot Noir is a lighter red with fewer tannins, but flavor and body can vary greatly. Syrah/Shiraz are full-bodied tannic reds. Grenache are a little sweeter and less acidic, when younger is more fruity, when older is richer-flavored. Gamay is medium-body, low-tannin, fruity. Tempranillo is medium-bodied high-alcohol. Nebbiolo is full-bodied, high-tannin, fruity/flowery & sometimes savory. Sangiovese is full-bodied, high-tannin, acidic, ages well. Pinotage is like a Pinot Noir left in a locker room. Carmenere is high-alcohol, high-tannin, spicy. Malbec is spicy & savory, and a majority of women tend to like it in my experience.

Whites: Chardonnay is middle-of-the-road, and can either be super oaky or have no oak. Sauvignon Blanc is lighter and more fragrant, high-acid; Loire Valley and Napa Valley make good examples. Riesling and Gewurztraminer make dessert wines. Pinot Grigio has medium body and acidity, can sometimes taste like slightly acidic water. Verdicchio has high acid and citric flavors, can taste cheap. Chenin Blanc can be medium-body and slightly sweet and sometimes makes up cheap wines. Viognier are floral, high-acid, high-alcohol. Albarino is medium-body with fruit flavors but can be very bitter. Torrontes makes medium-body, high-alcohol, floral wines.

7. Sign up for a wine delivery thing with whatever coupons you can. Select wines based on flavors you like. Cancel it, then take their generous offers of discounts to order again. And again. And again.

8. If a wine nerd is excited about it, it might not be crap, but you'll probably hate it

9. If you try a wine and really like it, ignore everything above, buy lots of it.
What was the wine he gave you? Always looking for new ones to try!
Because it's not environmental problem. Secondly, environmental problems are immediately actionable and surprisingly some of the easiest things to address. The threat of nuclear war lies in the domain of human power dynamics and organization, areas that are not understood in the slightest. Despite this, we still don't address the environmental problems or do so at a glacial pace. There's no hope for power dynamics.
The nuclear apocalypse would require a confluence of political events that are (1) pretty unlikely, and (2) almost impossible formally prevent (unless we suddenly achieve world peace).

This is in contrast to climate change, which is ongoing and very difficult but not impossible to stop, at least in its worst forms.

In other words, it's a category error. Being worried about climate change doesn't commit one to every way that humanity can extinguish itself (nuclear holocaust, global pandemics, &c.).
Ask HN: How did you stop drinking?
I enjoy the act of drinking - literally having a drink, or the feeling right after a drink. I hate how I feel an hour later, the foggy head feeling. I have a hard time saying no to a drink if everyone else is having a drink, I have done it before and am not afraid of what they think, more so, I enjoy having a drink, but I really don’t want to any more. I think it is something I would be better off without, completely but just can’t seem to get there.

I don’t buy it for weeks at a time, then cave and have a 12 pack in a weekend and feel like garbage most of the time.

Any tips on cutting out something completely and how to get out of just hating yourself when you fail?
For starters, the game theory discussion you are replying to seems deeply simplistic. Even if you win, you end up with a ruined planet (how many nukes would you need to neuter Russia?), are likely to end up in jail in your own country for doing so, and worst case scenario you fail to wipe out some nukes and then you are even more screwed.

Now, about your point... given on the info he had, Putin thought he was able to rush Ukraine, obtain a fait accompli, and then the sanctions will stop. He didn't knew his army was so bad (dictator's bias and all that), and he cared about his image for posterity, not about the wellbeing of Russia itself. In that case, war was anything but unlikely.

But about the bombs? What does Putin gain with a tactical nuke?

a) It somehow fails during the flight, or fails to detonate = Humiliation
b) Soldiers refuse to pull the trigger, he gets a rebellion.
c) It explodes, he manages to wipe out 1-2 battalions at most, so it doesn't change the outcome of the war. OTOH, Russia becomes a pariah state and gets blockaded hard (potentially even by China/India), Ukraine gets every weapon they need, and they risk actual NATO intervention.

None of the options improves his own outcomes, so I don't think nukes are as likely as news/reddit posts make it look like.
Hypertext Style: Cool URIs don't change. (1998)
No company today has the level of consolidated power over the computing industry that Microsoft had in the 1990s. It's actually hard to imagine now, when the situation even at the very top of the industry is so much more competitive.

It's almost like saying "Donald Trump's presidency was just like Josef Stalin". Sure, there are bad things but if you seriously look at what was going on, there was just a whole different level of badness.
In military thinking there's a whole class of bombs that can be "airburst" above cities and destroy everything with the shockwave while (perhaps paradoxically) having near zero fallout due to the core blast not intersecting the ground and irradiating soils etc.

Bear in mind some 2,000 nuclear weapons have been detonated in tests with over 500 of those as atmospheric blasts.

The most fallout generated in tests has been from ground level (or rather reef level) detonations that uplifted and irradiated vast amounts of material.
The cost to offset the carbon for flights is pretty miniscule in comparison (maybe $20) - the amount of loyalty that frequent flyers bring, the airlines should be offsetting these amounts themselves
Man I hate this line of thought because I completely fall into it too, haha. For a really, really long period of life, I had just awful dental hygiene practices. Honestly don't even want to describe it because it makes me a little disgusted with myself (ironically, in a way). But, I also never had dental issues. Ate whatever, drank whatever, didn't care.

Then a few years ago I get my shit together more and start a daily routine. A few months in, I finally visit a dentist for, I swear, the first time in a decade. I'm expecting them to find the motherload of disease in there, but nope. They tell me everything looks fine, except for a tiny bit of gingivitis. Take some x-rays and I'm on my way. 6 months later, worst head pain of my life turns out to be a deep one that needs a root canal. Now I've got a bunch of fillings, a crown, etc.

I still brush daily and my mouth feels like shit if I go without for a few days. I know in all logical ways, it's just a string of luck and coincidence. But damn does the conspiracy part of the brain start spinning up on my anecdotal experiences... lol.
It is my understanding (from reading Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye) that bacteria is seeded from primary caregivers in the first year of life, and it can be difficult to modify them after this, but it’s possible.

My sister has impeccable dental hygiene and many cavities. Her children have had anesthesia because they needed so much dental work. I’m the kind of person who would floss once a year and never had a cavity until I was 28 and drinking many acidic diet sodas. I started the book’s regimen using xylitol, eating basic foods like chocolate and cheese after acidic foods and drinks, took Florassist dental probiotic and stayed on top of cleanings and have had less problems since. My child is okay so far despite some not so great habits. I get extra cleanings that first year and make sure other caregivers do too.
> Restrict your search to USB drives that not only "Ship from" Amazon but that are "sold by" Amazon. In doing so, you will be weeding out all of the fraudulent devices that the article describes.

> Comingling means your strategy is not guaranteed to ensure you actually get what was described.

Commingling may be a problem in other contexts. But the article is about super-cheap "1TB" USB drives that don't really have 1TB capacity. If you restrict your search to "sold by Amazon" USB drives, you aren't at risk for buying these drives---because Amazon simply doesn't sell super-cheap 1TB USB drives. That's why commingling isn't a problem in this particular context.

There's always going to be a huge amount of documents and drafts that people don't want to publish to their team but still want to save. Occasionally there's value in mining through these after somebody leaves but it also creates a privacy law nightmare since personal folders even at work can situationally count as personal information.
Power Queries is sorely missing in Sheets. There is no competition. The one area Google does better is in real-time collaboration. Also finding where a "file" exists in order to manage it is lacking in GWS.
Ask HN: Has a 4 core CPU with a "T" core layout been made?
If not, why not? It seems optimal when attempting to layout in 2D a 4 core CPU cluster with each of the cores directly connected to one another - above the top of the "T" would have a link to connect the end cores & cache fill in above & on the sides making a rectangle to cut. Compare Zen 1 & 2 with the cache in the center splitting the cores: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NXprMIzv_uw/maxresdefault.jpg The same symmetric splitting with the i7-5960x & Zen 3 & 4 "octo-ring": https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/AMD-Ryzen-5000-Zen-3-Desktop-CPU_Vermeer_Die-Shot_1-scaled.jpg with the ring bringing the need for NUMA. The quad core I7-975 was linear https://www.guru3d.com/miraserver/images/2008/corei7/Nehalem_Die_callout.jpg Quad square configurations appear to have been used for Xeons: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6762cf8e384ca54f7d7640cadddd511f-pjlq & Athlons: https://static.techspot.com/articles-info/197/images/Image_02-j.webp, but not a "T". If latency being equal between the cores is the reason, then take out middle core & have equidistant tri-cores seesaw that could be linearly chained with the half core excess filled with cache on the ends, but again this does not appear to exist?
Assassination should always be the first strike in war. Take out the leader before he destroys hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm sick of 18-30 yr olds dying for old men with big ego's.
Something can be a grift or a cult and still be based on life-and-death reality.

If my doctor tells me I have to lose 100 lbs or I will die, then I can start counting calories, restrict myself to a certain number, and do it honestly or I can start eating only "diet" food.

And then when I don't lose weight, I can rationalize that diet food is really expensive, so I need help to afford more of it. Maybe there is a weight loss club I can join for discounts.

If I eliminate half of the non-diet food I'm eating, and double the amount of diet food, am I closer to my goal?

I think this is basically the definition of classical tragedy.
Ok is there a way I can “see” this, eg. Via adb ? Or via enabling some debug options ?

Ask HN: Equity percentage for NonTechnical CoFounder for high tech startup?
Curious what peoples opinions are on how to split equity given the following circumstances:

1. Product beginning to gain traction relatively easy, not a problem getting some users (B2B). Not much effort put in/no focus on user growth yet.

2. One year+ of highly technical development work done after work/weekends.

3. No marketing/technical docs/customer onboarding/sales etc.

4. Future work is extremely technical, but lots of working with customers will be needed.

5. No VC funding/very little revenue.

So basically all of the "company" is code. How do you bring someone onboard in this circumstance? Seems silly to give them huge equity, but it's very early, early enough its hard to imagine someone good joining for small equity.
google sheets (and microsoft excel online) aren't even close to the capabilities and speed of navigation of desktop excel. Like it is night and day if you are a heavy heavy user of excel. I'll admit some of what I've built up over the years would likely be better done in some combination like python and a database, but that's another topic for another day.
Interesting. Surely I didn't intend to solve complex decisions but it seems to work for simple options.

I discovered that users actually input options for another person, click 'Start' and ask that person to pick the decisions.

Thanks for your feedback
The article is about Wine which Is Not an Emulator.
What’s the alternative for host on windows?
But in a few years, governments will be able to confidently claim that any device not running in so-called Secure Boot mode is a cyber-security risk and can't be allowed online.

Similarly, they'll claim that all devices must either only run apps from "approved" app stores, or have a system like Apple's "Gatekeeper" which checks every binary you try to run against a central blacklist of forbidden apps.

Then you can kiss goodbye to P2P downloading, E2EE messengers, Tor, cryptocurrencies, and VPNs (unless those apps also implement blacklisting/whitelisting, or their developers will face criminal liability for what users do with them).
