> Germany and Russia were negotiating resuming pipeline operations when Nordstream was blown up.

I haven’t heard about this at the time or since. Do you have a source for this information?

> And oh, I don’t know seems pretty obvious that Russia has ZERO motive to blow up its own 10 billion dollar pipeline.

Russia is not a monolithic entity. For example if I were Putin I would fear that someone deposes me, then they makes peace with the West and they quickly resume the gas transit. By making it so the gas transit can’t be quickly resumed one also insures one’s self against such plans by lowering the possible reward of it.
Truffle fries don't contain truffles. French fries don't come from france. I don't think the restaurant is to blame for our language. You want every restaurant to start calling them immitation truffle fries?
If that's actually happening--and I am both skeptical and terrified that it is--it seems awfully close to malpractice or even (criminal) negligence.
People are offering their perspective and refuting your claims.

You don’t think hyperbolic statements like “porn is the most addictive thing known to man” weren’t going to be challenged?

Sexuality is a very normal part of human life, even if someone does get aroused in the image example (I don’t always from images even with a very high libido), what is the problem with that?

I’ve been places where nudity is normal such as beaches, saunas and gym locker rooms and most times wasn’t aroused at all.
I don't know, it's pretty obvious Germany has ZERO motive to blow up a pipeline without which it will have trouble surviving the winter.
Yeah the low pay is one thing, but in my experience a lot of the academic jobs seem to want a domain scientist who can do programming, not the other way around.
Come on, a 'FAANG engineer' asking for help with this is like a gourmet chef asking for help boiling an egg. It's pretty much the most basic stuff imaginable, kids are learning this in pre-school pretty much.

Or you could find out how many users facebook has, and subtract it from the world population. If you're left with "the majority of people," you've easily proved it.

Oh, please, do go on about how disadvantaged you are, subjected to assumptions and bias in every aspect of your public and working life, as you navigate your path through this white-dominated culture. [rolls eyes]
Norway has a huge renewable infrastructure thanks to the fossil fuel it could sell to build it.
Honestly just a simple salesforce HR system for several large american universities.
Not fancy, not special, but it powers and affects the lives of thousands and thousand of students and faculty.
But it is all their fault. They’re an obviously illegal monopoly that was allowed to thrive during our multi-decade experiment with not enforcing antitrust laws.

If artists literally ALL wanted to hire a scapegoat that rips off fans then sure. But many don’t. The fact that there’s no other alternative is WHY it works.

Also there’s no such thing as “venues and artists” since they own the venues too. Which is another part of the overall problem.
The reality is most friendships aren't healthy or worse are extremely limiting. People who still have friends from childhood into late adulthood are mostly likely insecure and haven't grown up at all. Exceptions to this do exist, but 9 out of 10 this holds steady.
> Then explain to me why the US would not blow up both pipes of NS2?

Maybe they wanted to, but simply failed? One of the bombs did not go off, or something like that.
What’s your source for saying it’s not?

How do you define short and medium term? To me medium is a decade.

There’s also the short to medium term work of enabling nuclear plants to start up again.
Where do you get that idea from? There were absolutely no public indications at all that Germany was considering anything there. Russia throttled and then cut off gas delivery via NS1 entirely. This did not change anything about Germany's military support for Ukraine.
This makes sense, as testing for qualifications is an artifact of the heteronormative racist patriarchy.
Because hardly anybody in European countries writes about their country using English language. Posting Polish article here would make no sense, since hardly anybody would be able to read it, thus only news which reported internationally get any attention. And since USA is quite big and eventful country English-speaking country, we naturally gravitate toward discussions about it.
I've recently had a similar issue.

The best I've found is NextJS (you can use their API support if you don't have a separate one yet) + Chakra UI (removes practically all the need for css).

You can pick it up in a weekend and build beautiful products.
And suggesting to simply “write the calculators as JavaScript” vastly understated the effort required to make a reactive form that performs calculations, drives graphs, renders tables, all as the user types (just like Excel or Google sheets).

This is literally the reason frameworks exist: to handle user input, managing state over time, and then updating the UI in response to changing of state.

By suggesting a framework like I did, allows OP to focus on writing the actual calculation code and and to build their site - not spending time writing user inputs and bindings and manual DOM updates.
Sorry, no. This was my dream area to work in and I obsessed over degree programs in bioinformatics many years ago. Then I realized it’s incredibly low paying for the work, finding work in the area was a chore, and a masters might not even get your foot in the door. Nothing communicated that you would be valued. The harsh reality of the world won out in the end.
yeah it’s probably the US that benefits most from it and the CIA certainly isn’t above this kind of thing, but a Western govt coming out and accusing the US of this would be a very poor choice
> > But you can not be Turing complete and totally secure (essentially Rice's theorem), and that's the point that I meant to make.

Whatever it means to you, literally—you can't decide any non-trivial property of a document in a Turing-complete markup language.
You're missing the big picture. After Siemens gave Canadian export license that allows Gazprom to "repair" the turbines, there were no more excuses for Gazprom to not respect contractual obligation to provide gas through the pipeline. In short, Gazprom was facing enormous penalties for not providing gas.
I am not saying Gazprom did it, but they had a reason and means (using a PIG) to do it.
the article says they are also working on grown-in-the-lab cell-culture oysters, but they are still ramping that up
They literally destroyed their economy and wiped out decades of diplomacy and trust... and you can't believe they blew up a bit of a pipe to pressure the market and Germany?

I don't think you're seeing things in perspective and the scale of the events.
I’m a layman with no knowledge of how ICUs work, because (thank God), I’ve never had to visit one.

I found this article informative, and not cynical at all. No system is perfect, and so with all of the significant benefits they provide, ICUs have some things they aren’t best for.

> Continuing to say that is reason "you" have to wait for getting a slot and asking whether or not the observed sotuation is actually hood is cynical.

I see you bashing the author, but you haven’t made a coherent argument at all. In fact, I’m not sure if this is even English.

If there’s something op got wrong, help us understand and make it a teaching moment. Just bashing them isn’t productive.
> But if it's neither, why would anyone bother?

Because they find it rewarding in some other way? I agree that that way is not the conventional wisdom, but it exists, it turns out that some people value doing things that provide a demonstrable benefit to humanity.

Also he second class citizen thing has diminished over the years. It still exists but there are plenty of companies where that's no longer true. This is in stark contrast to when the field was getting off the ground, for instance it wasn't uncommon for benefits like PTO to be tied to your degree level & not length of employment.
The area of study you're looking for is called Kinematics and if you do want to go down the building an arm route, you'll need a more than passing familiarity with Electronics and microcontrollers, since you like python, a Raspberry Pi is probably the best choice.
Apple doesn't seem to do that, but somehow magically know if the AP is an iphone without using DHCP option 43, even before connecting to that AP.
A startup called Cuil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuil) tried exactly the strategy you suggest in jest: synthesize articles by mashing up search results. It was a disaster, and widely mocked for how easy it was to get Cuil to produce absolute nonsense from straightforward prompts. When your starting point is "untrustworthy nonsense", it is an uphill battle in both technology and PR to arrive at "trustworthy synthesis", if it is indeed possible at all.
As a gay adult not planning to have children, friends are the center of my life and probably will be for a long time. I think gay culture in NYC is an excellent example of the opposite of what this article describes - we all work hard, and many of us have partners, but we all maintain an evolving network of friends. It’s not hard to stay in touch or run into someone or make plans on a whim. It feels kind of like we’re all permanently adolescents. People come and go (jobs, travel, new opportunities), but with enough connections there’s always someone you’ve known for a while who is currently around. Sometimes these friendships aren’t very deep, sometimes they are. Some are brief, some are decades long.
The alarm to go off in the nurses' station so they could investigate.
I don’t use twitter, so I don’t really care about what happens to it. I stopped using it years ago because it was an awful experience and I don’t know how anyone can enjoy it.

But I’ve been wondering: why is everyone leaving? Is everyone leaving? What has changed other than the verification thing?
Yeah, the one thing people familiar with TikTok seen to agree on and be impressed by is its ability to cater the content it serves to your desires.

That's actually what got me to try it out. There were multiple cases where I heard that, so downloaded it and spent some time on it. After you've used it a few hours, you start really getting mostly the stuff you like.

You just have to be very careful not to engage with stuff you don't want to see. Scroll away as soon as you've determined it's not for you, as they'll notice if you watch things to the end. I made a conscious decision that I didn't want to engage in content where people were complaining about the behavior of other people and scrolled past as soon as I identified things as such, and I stopped getting them within a few days. My TikTok is all fun/funny stuff.
Tumblr Gets the Last Laugh
Obviously. There was some mild deflection attempts, but they were risible at best.

They don't want to advertise their capabilities in an official manner, even though they were the ones threatening all the internet cables around. Not sure if Sweden's investigation proved it was from outside or inside, but of course, if it's from inside then it really limits who could have done it.

"I see zero reasons why Russia would attack its own infrastructure" only points at one's lack of imagination or intellectual honesty really.
And they pay their standard rates.
Currently gas storage is at 100% in Germany. The efforts to reduce consumption also seem to have a significant effect. And this is with a blown up pipeline.

Of course the energy situation has economic effects, but it's very far from not surviving the winter.
Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut
Before y'all say "his style works at Tesla and SpaceX" just take a look under the shiny image.

There are reasons $TSLA is down by half and is still over-valued: Look at the bulls like ARK. Their short-medium term projections for Tesla are 60% based on the value of robotaxis, which is currently a $0B business at Tesla.

The majority of mass SpaceX has lifted to orbit is Starlink sats. They have saturated the market of outside customers and they have to generate their own demand. To value SpaceX at $150B, you have to believe that, unlike every other attempt ever, this time LEO internet will make money.

This is the answer. You need like 3 things for this - grab data from form, send data using axios (3 lines), display the response.
Here's my personal goto:

Find some minimal CSS framework. My preference is Skeleton [0] or Bootstrap [1]. The key is just finding something minimal that works without too much fuss. Personally, I rather have a minimal framework provide 'responsiveness' so I don't have to worry about it but I also want it to get out of the way of anything I do.

Use JQuery [2]. Don't rely on CSS for animations or interactivity. In theory CSS does a lot. In practice it's a nightmare to use and to get it play well with whatever else I'm doing in the page.

Write in "bare" HTML and "vanilla" JavaScript. Don't use a static site generator and don't use a JavaScript framework.

Port in JavaScript libraries as needed. Some of the ones I tend to use are numeric.js [3], downlaod.js [4] and audience-minutes [5]. If you're doing spreadsheet things, maybe there's some JS package out there that will help.

Doing "raw" HTML/"vanilla" JavaScript makes me effectively unhirable but for limited scope side projects where I have full control and want to minimize bit-rot, this is fine.

The point is to create something that's minimal and focuses on functionality. The CSS is just there to make it not look like a Web 1.0 page but otherwise steps out of the way to focus on the actual usage of the application.

Triviafy: Friendliest Pre Employment Assessments
Multiple choice questions for early stage candidate screening.
To use your 4x money argument - Why couldn't you care at least about 2x money? Or even 1x money? For the sake of being friends with your "friends"?

Friendship isn't an all or nothing proposition. You don't have to be perfectly aligned with another persons' morals and values to be friends with them. Sometimes just having one or two things in common is what is needed to keep those bonds going.
Upsides for Russia? Really? Getting out of contracts? LOL!
Pretty sure those would be irrelevant given all the sanctions. Let’s check the upsides for Russia: losing $10 billion+ of investment, billions in future revenue, and ending Germany’s strategic dependence. And you think they care about “contracts”? Amazing.

> Holmes' personal experience with trauma.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of this being a consideration. Someone had trauma in their life so they get a lenient sentence for defrauding people out of money?

Maybe this isn’t consistently applied across states and gender.
I'm honestly saddened to see your comment so downvoted - though perhaps the tone was too problematic.

While I don't share the absolute certainty, I also think the most direct story/motivations would be for the USA (perhaps via some ally like the UK) to be behind this.

I don't think Russia can be entirely excluded though - perhaps for some internal political play - but it does seem to require more non-obvious motivations.
In Denmark it's illegal to resell tickets above the original price.

Occasionally you see "crate of beer 1000DKK comes with free Taylor Swift ticket" but it's rare.
In addition to the points brought up by other commenters, have you had vegan pizza or hot dogs?

Vegan hotdogs are honestly fine and good enough. Thinking back to when I ate meat, I'd rather have a vegan hotdog than a budget one made from who knows what.

And pizza and pasta are quite amendable to being vegan without substitutions if one wishes- don't add cheese and you're done?
I’ve seen it done to make barbecue grills. I’ve always used hot water heater tanks for that purpose.
Stop fetishizing Europe, the situation is the same there in regards to the visa process(moneyed companies looking for cheap labor).

Sincerely, someone who dealt with the nonsense of multiple European visas.
I'd argue they became popular in many places due to a simple regulatory loophole - they initially existed in many places as a legally gray method of moving at bike speed without physical exertion that you could use without a license or paying tax.

Many jurisdictions distinguish between bicycles (unmotorized or with a speed-limited motor, possibly mandating pedal assistance) and motorcycles (can move at high speeds, fully unassisted).

Motorcycles are fast, but expensive and generally require licensing, registration, tax etc, and are generally banned from cycle lanes. Scooters offer the lack of exertion of a motorcycle with the convenience and low costs of a bicycle. For some that's worth the horrendous ride quality.

Bootstrap with python flask will probably be the easiest way to write the ui code, imo. If you then add in one library - htmx - then you can have an idiom where the server handles all the rendering and you can avoid using javascript.

I think these tools should work for someone coming in without prior experience and figuring it out from the docs.
I have a BS in neurobiology but have been working in software for 20 years. I'd always wanted to get into a more biology-focused software after interning at NIDA (NIH) and saw how bad the software support was. I spent most of internship developing software to make it easier to digitize the dozens of giant drawers full of index cards where they recorded all their raw data.

The problem is that the organizations involved in this sort of work often still consider software development as a cost center and therefore do not offer competitive salaries.
No.

In case it was unclear, I was being sarcastic in my reply and pointing out the hypocrisy of being offended that "regular people" would have to foot the bill for ICUs - as if they weren't the ones relying on their existence.
These are fair points, but I only mentioned Annex to highlight NATO doesn't do 'Land grabs'. But I do agree, they're certainly no saints.
"That is always the way with stay-at-homes. If they like something in their own village they take it for a thing universal and eternal, though perhaps it was never heard of five miles away; if they dislike something, they say it is a local, backward, provincial convention, though, in fact, it may be the law of nations."
The problem is that it isn't just about pay, it's about everything: autonomy, flexibility, culture, work quality, respect... If an organization can reliably convince—show, not tell—that it will be a much better place to work overall, I'm certain they can hire highly skilled engineers even if they can't compete on pay.

My experience is that most non-tech organizations can't or won't.

I think it's unreasonable to believe that you could intentionally half-way blow up a pipeline. And the only reasonable conclusion here is that the intention was to blow all of it up.

Why would Russia want to even get out of those contracts? If Europe is willing to pay, they will gladly supply gas, as they have done for many many decades. Even at the peak of the cold war, they were reliably supplying gas to Western Germany for example. It is very lucrative for them. And in any case, why do contracts between Russia and Europe even matter at this point. Any party can just do whatever they want.

There is no point is "sending a message", it's very obvious that it is possible to blow up an underwater pipeline. Anyone worth sending a message to would have already known its possible.

The obvious real motivation here is to prevent any negotiation over re-opening the pipeline.
Does that work for the EU situation? Russia had already denied to supply the required amounts of gas before the sabotage happened...
>Firstly noone has mentioned anything about wastage within the Firefox project - this thread is about Mozilla as a whole, not just Firefox. Not sure what point you're "coming back to" specifically.
