The argument made by the West, including the US Secretary of Defense, was that Russian missile production would be significantly curtailed due to trade restrictions on advanced technology like microchips. If they are using missiles produced in recent months then that argument seems debunked to me.

What basis is there to assume that Russia lacks the ability to mass produce the less sophisticated components of these missiles?

Edit (can't reply):

> They've also apparently been canibalizing consumer devices

Based on an anecdotal report from the leadership of their primary belligerent in this conflict. Why is that easier to believe than the idea that they can produce the (very much not advanced) chips required in these missiles?

> Historical. Iskanders have been produced in the dozens-per-year quantities pre-war, Kalibr in the ~100 range. They're using that many cruise missiles in a single day's attacks now; that isn't be sustainable long-term for anyone.

Why would peacetime production represent their maximum capacity? They inherited a Cold War military-industrial complex which was preparing for a large scale global conflict.

> You should re-read the NYT article you cite; it openly states it's not debunking what you claim it debunks.

The fact the article reports is that a missile used in November was produced no earlier than October. I'm not required to agree with their insinuated conclusion. I do agree that the status of Russia's missile inventory is unclear since logically different types of missiles will be allocated for different uses based on their cost and capabilities (such as the ability to penetrate modern air defense systems).

Yes and no. For most of history, conquest of pre-industrial agrarian societies was generally an excellent idea...politically and economically, that is. See any good history of (say) the economics of the Roman Empire. Or the British Empire.

That's part of why WWI was so hellishly destructive for Europe - national leaders, military planners, educated elites, etc. really didn't get that modern(-ish) industrialized warfare was profoundly different from "the good old days", and they made endless bad decisions based on obsolete "wisdom".
Wind farm operators sell their power onto the market (they can sell however they like, but the reference price is calculated according to the day-ahead spot price).

Any imbalance between the agreed price and the reference price is sent to the LCCC (Low Carbon Contracts Company, part of the government).

The LCCC then re-charges any CfD payments or surplus funds to the electricity suppliers. This should eventually work its way into an increase or reduction in household energy bills. So the end consumer should get the difference between the wholesale and CfD price, in theory. This is also taken into account when the OFGEM price cap is calculated.

To answer your question about who benefits from high electricity prices - mostly fossil fuel producers, but also fossil power stations, legacy renewable generators with direct subsidies rather than CfDs, and electricity market traders exploiting the volatility.

Yes I've been looking for the same thing. I created https://zsync.xyz with the goal of serving as a place for high quality discussion of any topic, but turns out it's pretty difficult to create a community since there's that whole chicken and egg problem.

If anyone has any ideas on how to create a community like this, I'd love to hear it. I'm really not a fan of chat rooms other than for casual chats between friends because there's no search engine indexability.

I guess in the meantime, I'd say Twitter is probably the best I think. Everyone's on there, and people are incentivized to increase their following. I just wish they'd do away with that 500 character limit since that confines longer form writing to Twitter threads and makes actual dialogue totally impractical.

Depends on company.

Keep in mind we have 168 hours a week

1. company with <=20 engineers (or slow paced open-source) in one time zone. Except night time, you need constant running server for ~10 hours a day. (except weekends) = 50 hrs/week

2. company with 20 engineers in different time zones. CI running everyday except weekend = 120 hrs/week

3. if you have more engineers, then probably you need running CI every day.

If you are a small company, in one region, it might make sense to fully rely on cloud, for other scenarios dedicated servers could be cheaper option. Highest cost is initial setup if automation is difficult.

I understand that extreme sells. Yet I don't any mountain bike or longboard adverts with the riders doing stunts without helmets, gloves, etc.

Plus, those adverts are showing the opposite of extreme, such as drinking a couple of glasses of wine on the kayaks out in the middle of the water body. They are making it look casual, like being in a Disney park where everything is all pre-vetted for safety. Extreme would be closer to naked polar-dips in the icy waters or running Class 4+ rapids.

And this is the exact problem — they are making this look like a causal outing that anyone can do, loike a picnic on a park bench, without bothering with the hassle of flotation and cold-water gear.

But this isn't in a hotel pond in the Caribbean, where the water is warm, self-rescue is easy, and people are nearby to help.

The parkas tell us that this is in waters that will render you immobile from cold in a matter of seconds if you aren't wearing the right gear (and that parka will soak and drag you under even if you manage to stay conscious). Fall of this "park bench" with what they are wearing, and they are instantly in a minutes-to-save-your-life survival situation.

They are literally demonstrating how their customers can get killed. And it would be SO EASY to show the opposite; just put on some proper gear.

Meta "vision" of the Metaverse is still a social media verse
I have mobility issues, and the chances of me dying on the road are amazingly larger than that of a pedestrian dying from me on my bike, no matter how reckless I could possibly be riding. If I have the choice between becoming roadkill or getting harassed by police, I will always choose the latter. It should be the job of the rider to yield to pedestrians the way cars must yield. If a rider isn't paying attention or going too fast for the situation, they are going to get hurt regardless of there being a pedestrian or any other obstacle. There is no danger to the motorist's safety when they mow down a cyclist. Source: I got mowed down by a police officer who buried his head in his laptop and slammed on the gas at the same time, veering uncontrollably. Luckily he wasn't injured. He had no clue he hit me until my bike was completely under his car. Somehow I managed to stay on his bumper and not go under.

This type of thinking, "One person might be frightened, so let's continue to make cyclists pay with their lives" is unfathomable. It's even more incomprehensible that it seems to come mostly from motorists wanting to dictate how all pedestrians 'shall obey' because the are second class citizens. "One could argue" all kinds of things without data and get nonsensical laws passed that affect other people and not themselves.

Furthermore, sidewalks already exist in vastly larger coverage of most cities, where bike lanes do not. Most places don't want to pay for bike lanes, and those that do rarely maintain them in the US. They have never run a street sweeper over the bike lanes where I live, and if they had, they would have hit the concrete spill that's been there for over 3 years and likely damage the street sweeper. It's outrageously dangerous if you don't know it is there because it is between the roadway and a turning lane, so if you get ejected in either direction you are possibly roadkill either way.

> The people of Russia don't seem to want this war, they are conscripted. (From what I've read from afar.)

My understanding of Russian politics is that it is primarily driven by apathy: the population will support what the government does, so long as it doesn't affect them. Russian mobilization is a violation of that tacit agreement, which is why it seems that mobilization is being targeted more at marginal groups with less political voice (e.g., ethnic minorities).

> Somehow once technology is involved to abstract what's happening, people start talking about how it's their right to unilaterally renegotiate the transaction.

It is our right.

These corporations do the exact same thing, they change their little terms of service all the time, often without notice, and we're forced to swallow it. Why is it suddenly wrong when we do it? Because it costs them money? Fuck their money, we owe them nothing.

> Or for another analogy that will likely make you upset: "I hate how this store charges $10 for a banana, so I am just going to pay $2 and take the banana anyway

Complete bullshit analogy. There is no "transaction". There never was, not even once, a "transaction". Only assumptions.

They are not charging us anything. They're giving us the banana for free after putting some advertising stamps on it. They're hoping we'll look at the ads but the fact is we are under exactly zero obligation to do so. We invented technology that peels the bananas automatically and gives us the fruit while throwing the trash away and the ads along with it.

Our attention is not currency, nor can it be sold to the highest bidder. We are under exactly zero obligation to "pay" with our attention. Zero.

> "Cheating", such as blocking ads but using the service anyway is one way to solve that power imbalance and actually put pressure on sites to look for another business model.

Absolutely agree. Businesses are the ones that come to us with their idiotic "our way or the highway, take it or leave it" deals. Functionality such as ad blocking is absolutely vital for consumers because it empowers them to alter the deal. It doesn't really matter what the corporation thinks, the deal is gonna be altered whether it likes it or not.

Such is the power of adversarial interoperability, the nightmare of every monopolist.

Democracy in such states is an illusion.

Turns out Montessori education runs in 3-year cycles (ages 2-3-4, and 5-6-7, for example). Not all schools make that clear, and, if you put a kid in in the middle of a cycle, there is orientation material they will miss. Without that grounding, Montessori can turn out to be a really ineffective experience. (Source: Was a parent who realized this and had to compensate for it. The 5-6-7 cycle was much more effective.)

Learning to code is ultimately not about learning a pile of information. It's about learning how to react when faced with a wall. There is definitely something to be said in favour of presenting students with small walls to face before presenting them with large-scale and cognitively overwhelming problems.

The concern here is that most of what we've been using as "small walls to conquer" are trivially solvable without having to go through the problem solving process. But I think this is excessive hand-wringing. StackOverflow is already as disruptive as can be on that regard, but that doesn't prevent a plurality of students from going through the motions for the sake of learning the "craft".
thanks - very interesting!

I think that also clarifies something I'd found confusing: that the spot price is currently effectively determined by the price of gas, and yet the UK consumer is benefitting from the presence of wind generation (which generates much cheaper power than gas)

If I've understood your post correctly, this is because the electricity companies don't directly pass the spot price onto consumers. Instead when the price to consumers is calculated, the part attributable to wind is taken account of at the lower price.

So effectively the marginal price to consumers is actually affected by the average cost of generation (which is turn, from an economic point of view is arguably undesirable, because it means consumers don't have sharp enough incentives to save electricity at the margin)
