Maybe you're right. I honestly don't know. But I only have so much time in a day to veryfy everything. I'm talking from memory of course, but this Ukraine invasion didn't "come out of the blue" AFAIK.

Here's a collection of sources compiled by someone on Quora. I dont know how biased or accurate this person is. However, there were other instances that made me think this isn't so black-and-white or "clean" as I'd like it to be.

A lot of the sources he used are from Ukranian websites so you might need to run them through Google Translate. Some are from reputable (for at least some definition of reputable) western media outlets like CNN, BBC, NYT, etc.

The embedded vidoes don't seem to work in Chrome (they just disappear when I click them) so I've extracted the link for one of them here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4 - Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer, uploaded by The University of Chicago

Other videos are shorter clips to prove a point, but if anyone's interested they can see the video ID in the embedded image URL when inspecting the element.

Again, maybe this is all dogshit like you say, but I find that too dismissive of the facts presented.
We do quotation marks sometimes too, and that's actually maybe a good idea here, so I'll add them. Thanks!
This week one of my tasks is to figure out how to neutralize some telemetry in one of our apps. We had no idea it was there, we do not want to be sending data. Last week, the parent company decided they didn't want to maintain the telemetry server any longer, and got rid of it.

Now the tool has generated thousands of log messages that it can't phone home.

And so it must be silenced, since it is cluttering up the logs, generating false alerts, etc.

Please, no more.

You seem to be pretty convinced that US is behind it, where I am not so much.

I wouldn’t presume to know if destruction of the pipeline is justified if you look at it from Russian perspective, if they are responsible, but I can volunteer a few motives why they might be:

- an attempt to introduce a force majeure factor into any future contract disagreements

- an attempt at escalating the seriousness of threats, signalling “we aren’t backing down”

- an attempt to drive a wedge between allies by implicating a sabotage behind ones backs. US vs Germany etc.

… or a little of all of the above.

One of the key strategies employed by Russia in the conflict - is a periodic display of belligerence bordering on unhingement. I think Russia being behind it fits the MO.

People are entitled to run their own private sites in ways that restrict you from sharing your opinions that are not the same as theirs. The view of the law that you're espousing is one where, simply by dint of letting people sign up to a service you run, you take on an obligation to carry their messages. That's an intense amount of authority to give the government over private enterprise, and a stultifying precedent for anyone who wants to stand up a site of their own.

I'm not a huge fan of the whole woo-woo manifesting thing in general, but this article has actually made me more sympathetic to it. A lot of the magic numbers and frequency stuff is obvious noise, but there do seem to be useful subsets. For example:

> Similarly, there’s “awake” versus “asleep”: Asleep people are “doing the nine to five, the white picket fence. They think that their surroundings dictate them. They’re always the victim. They don’t take responsibility.

If you strip out the spiritual context, trying to get to a state where you stop playing the victim, take responsibility, and actually evaluate why you're doing what you're doing sounds... obviously good?

> While it doesn’t have feelings, it is something that your future self that already has the car who’s done the inner work to get there has. If you embody the version of you that has that car, eventually, you’re going to be in a situation where you have the money or the opportunity to meet your future self in that car.

Ignore the frequencies and matching vibrations bit, and it does seem like there is good advice buried in this. The version of you that is successful enough to reach your goals probably would have different traits that you could try to emulate. If you're getting "on the same wavelength" as a romantically-successful future self in an attempt to "manifest" love, "embodying that version of yourself" would probably involve being more outgoing, more willing to take some social risks, and more willing to chase after what you want. Ignoring any universal vibrations or whatever, the core advice seems good.

It seems like the two main problems are 1) the low signal:noise ratio (though this is a problem of seemingly all schools of self-help...), and the 2) pseudoscientific wrappings, but it's not clear to me that the core strategy is obviously false.

Though I may be biased; I'm a pretty stone-cold atheist, but Dancing With the Gods has left a lasting impression on me (in the direction of giving more credit to woo):

EDIT:

After looking up more about the book The Secret, it is much more obviously stupid and harmful. Consider the quote:

> Imperfect thoughts are the cause of all humanity’s ills, including disease, poverty, and unhappiness.

I feel like I don't need to spell out how incredibly dumb that is as an idea. It seems like the Vox article (ironically) gave manifesting an incredibly positive spin, much better than is in the original text.
> But they were forced and incentivized to give them up.

Sure. Russia later reneged on the incentives by invading Ukraine (repeatedly!). Thus, relevant.

> But this is inconclusive. On one hand, Russia did invade Ukraine, but didn’t invade Kazakhstan or Belarus.

"What about all the murders I didn't do?" isn't a great defense.

> And the agreement is not an official treaty, is not legally binding and doesn’t have an enforcement mechanism.

Cool, then they can stop whining about the supposed NATO "agreement" not to expand, which was not an official treaty, not legally binding, and doesn't have an enforcement mechanism.
Make a rule of doing something interesting with everything you learn. If there is nothing to do, talk to someone about it. If there is nobody, write a blog. If you can't write a blog, just detail it in a notebook. The point is to make a habit of interacting with things. That way you keep yourself engaged, slow down your intake, feel a bit more lively and it is overall a good habit to have.

It's going back a few years now but the gnome 3 debacle is a reasonable example of not respecting users https://felipec.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/the-problem-with-gn... . I think in subsequent years the devs have been worn down and the community solved the missing features in other ways, but some people have long memories. gnome 3 is the primary reason Ubuntu got its own desktop system, it was that divisive.

The Steam Deck is uniquely positioned to allow people to do potentially hazardous things like install software from unknown sources, and that is because it's primarily a gaming device. People aren't doing banking and work stuff on it, so what is the damage if it gets rooted? Valve could have easily screwed it up by building a walled garden anyways, just to satisfy corporate greed in the name of "maximizing ROI". Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all have their walled gardens for gaming. The fact Valve hasn't (yet) is refreshing.

FTA: "He shamelessly stole ideas from talented students too: Fuller claimed for decades that he invented the principles of “tensegrity,” which was another specialized term he coined to describe structural systems of isolated components under compression held within a matrix of continuous tension. In reality, he observed and copied this idea from the work of then-student Kenneth Snelson, who went on to have a successful career in his own right as a sculptor."
I'm not sure why you're belaboring the point because whether it's trust or a contractual agreement to run the site a certain way the result is the same. Either way works for my argument which was that the relationship is the difference from reddit's way. I don't care how the relationship is mediated.
Read the previously linked article [1]. Powell was initially skeptical of the claims being made by the intelligence community. It was ultimately the CIA that worked to convince him that it was legitimate. And things like the war authorization (and subsequent bills) were generally approved with overwhelming bipartisan support.

I'm not implying that it was only the CIA, but rather that these sort of situations tend to defy simplistic explanations. It's a lot of different people with a lot of different motivations. And those motivations are often going to drive them to come to the conclusions that they want to come to, exactly as happens in literally every other large organization in existence.

Isn’t freedom house the same one who in 2020 gave top scores to countries that literally arrested people for walking around outside? That forbade people from running their businesses and customers from hiring their services?

All of these restrictions on freedom might have been introduced for good reason according to some people, but they very much have been introduced, and very much restricted freedom, so if those don’t count according to freedom house, I can scarcely consider this “quantitative nonpartisan analysis” to be worth much.

It's incredible technology, but that doesn't change that everything it does can and should be treated as text completion. If it's not doing what you want, you think about how you made that happen by shaping the dialog it was trying to write with you. If it commits an error, you think about how that error will impact the remainder of the dialog its trying to write with you and how your own own responses will shape that.

Text and ideas are not equivalent. Even if everything we do is "idea completion" (whatever that means), that's not what it does. Maybe it's a step towards that, but for now it just does the text thing and it's really f--ing great at it when you remember that that's what it's doing.

Requiring all public buildings to immediately retrofit for wheelchair access wasn't practical, but in the US proponents were able to get support for requiring this for new and heavily renovated buildings (the ADA). Having a gradual intermediate choice makes a lot of sense in cases where a full ban is really bad for people (or buildings) that are dependent on the old way and we also don't want to continue to allow it indefinitely.
When I signed up for the waitlist for the New Bing (with ChatGPT), I was offered an express lane with this copy:

"Access the new Bing even faster"

"1. Set *Microsoft Defaults* on your PC"

"2. Scan the QR code to install the *Microsoft Bing App*"

Microsoft Defaults and Microsoft Bing App were links, which I didn't click, and there was a QR code below the second one.

I question this theory. Russia had already throttled NS 1 and was playing games with the turbine certification.

I'm not so sure that they would have had to pay damages. It is true that they were pressuring Germany to certify NS 2 (one explanation is that NS 1 had long term contracts whereas NS 2 would have been higher spot prices).

But the danger of NS 2 certification would also support the U.S. involvement theory.

To all others who focus on NS and Germany: There are a multitude of Russian pipelines through Poland and Ukraine that are still operating. Ukraine collects transit fees for Russian gas as we speak.

So the theory that the attempt was to destroy specifically German/Russian relations, which had been a stated goal of U.S. foreign policy for decades, is pretty solid.

I don't expect much from the Swedish investigation. Another such investigation was the sinking of the MS Estonia. Figures like Carl Bildt (who is now a war hawk) went on to the RAND corporation. Sweden will do what the U.S. prescribes.

I think the only thing we can be sure of is that this was perpetrated by government.
It is deeply flawed, but once you introduce the notion of hate speech, the definition can be expanded indefinitely to include any speech that can conceivably cause 'offense,' which is now defined as 'harm.'

OFCOM, the British media regulation authority has recently defined 'hate speech' as:

‘All forms of expression which spread, incite, promote or justify hatred based on intolerance on the grounds of disability, ethnicity, social origin, gender, sex, gender reassignment, nationality, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, colour, genetic features, language, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth or age.’

It is a good thing that British weather is so variable, because that is pretty much all they will legally be permitted to talk about. Even tea and crumpets is out of bounds because 'tea' might offend the Chinese, and 'crumpets' may offend women.
Putin was already effectively doing that, by demanding payment in rubles and making weird terms. If Putin wanted to shut down Nordstream, he'd just stop sending gas. What was Europe going to do, sanction him more?

I can see the US doing it as they've been vocal opponents to nordstream since its inception, I can see Ukraine wanting to do it although I doubt they'd have the resources, might also have been some other rogue European faction wanting out from under Putin's thumb.
There's a hidden assumption in your argument that the only way that forums like Hacker News, etc, can moderate is if the government allows it. Else why would you mention governments and private forums in the same sentence?

I support private forums being able to moderate. I oppose governments having that same power.
OpenGL isn't really any different than Direct3D/Vulkan/Metal from the OS perspective. Shoot until recent times it was the only option on some platforms and if you wanted to use the GPU it was the only way on them.

QUIC uses UDP but not in a "it's relying on UDP" way as much as "layering UDP allowed it to go through middleware boxes" way. The developers of QUIC would have liked QUIC to not depend on UDP, and the protocol works fine that way, but then it wouldn't have went through home routers or corporate firewalls very well. Regardless a lot which used to be done in the OS TCP stack is now handled by the browser application. This is similar to how some other apps have used UDP but that doesn't take away from that fact.

I think this idea that the teen mental illness epidemic began in 2012 is probably wrong. What is far more likely is that society began to open up more to these ideas, more people got diagnosed than before, and more young people identified with these struggles and felt more comfortable talking about them.

Susanna Kaysen's 1993 mental health memoir "Girl, Interrupted", which recounts her experience as a young female adolescent struggling with mental health in the late 1960s, for example, received an enormous amount of renewed attention and interest when it was adapted into a film in 1999.

The popularity of that film really opened up the conversation for a lot of young people in the 2000s, but even before that, similar struggles by teens were covered in the 1967 novel "The Outsiders", which also was adapted into a film in 1983, and if memory serves, there was also a similar rise in reports of an epidemic in the 1980s.

I’m not saying that any of these books or movies led to a mental health contagion, I’m saying that the struggles that today’s teens are going through have always been there, but in the past, they were either ignored or hidden away. Today, everything is shared far more widely and freely, which is why it looks like teens are suffering more than the past.

I also think if you go back into the literature of the past, you’ll find these same mental health concerns expressed just about everywhere. It’s just that instead of talking about them, they did everything possible to hide them away. Let’s not forget Bertha Mason, the character in the 1847 novel Jane Eyre, who was locked away in a room in a house. We are no longer doing that to people so it seems like there is a new epidemic at work, when it’s always been with us.
