They are fighting a war they cannot possibly win. Until it's over they cannot join the EU.

They are the most corrupt nation in the region, and the war has not helped. Until they fix that they will not join the EU.

Both NATO and EU have said UA can't join their clubs while at war, so all RU has to do is keep fighting.

The other states within the EU will have a terrible tantrum if the money sink that is now Ukraine joins.

Ukraine currently has nothing but debt to offer the EU, and it is a big debt in terms of what they owe their current "war partners" and in terms of rebuilding.

Other states have been on the waiting list for a long time, and if Ukraine is fast-tracked, they will also have a terrible tantrum.

Lastly, no one knows when the war will end and what the borders will be, so any hints of "join our club" from the EU or NATO until the war is over and the new borders are drawn is at the very best just a carrot to keep the poor of Ukraine fighting the NATO proxy war.

Adapting historic homes for energy efficiency: a review of the barriers
The year is sometimes part of the job code. There are positions listed that are multiple years old. I work for a company with such positions listed on their website.

When they do want to hire someone, another role gets created, so I suspect no one looks at the resumes submitted, except for statistics perhaps.
> Because they found the one and not the other.

Agreed. That means there is something wrong with our discovery mechanisms.
You claim that I cannot make generalizations based solely on "sentiment" and you go ahead and do yoyr own generalizations.

Back on Earth, if there is a reduced set a people that can do a job and the demand for that job greatly outweighs the supply, the wages will grow. It's economics 101. It applies in the US, it applies everywhere (look it up, software engineers are paid better no matter what the geography).

Fundamentally we disagree on the job being easy part. It is not easy. We are paying for the "cushy" living with our mental health.
It seems like such a sharp, smart move to start with QUIC.

It provides really useful SCTP-like multi-streaming, which is a great base to start from. There's already so many good libraries the project or others can work from, and it'll just keep getting better (and better optimized, likely). https://github.com/xileteam/awesome-quic?tab=readme-ov-file#...

This seems like such a natural place where of course having a somewhat better transport protocol than we've had is a huge win. Looking forward to the next decade of QUIC.

To say “definitely” don’t need one with near zero information on what a long trip constitutes is wild.

Good luck.

Yes, it would never have made sense to me to pay money to someone to earn money. I was 18/19, and had stupidly dropped out of a college I hated for a relationship and found a job posting in the paper for a "warehouse job". I called, they said come in for an interview. I was ecstatic, what a win! My girlfriend drove me there, and it was a door-to-door steak sales job. They told me all the usual you can make so much money doing this, you work your way up and make connections and grow your area. They told me at the end when I was almost into it that I would have to buy the steaks from them and pay myself off the difference.

I looked at the dumbasses around me buying it with fresh eyes and saw that they were people VERY MUCH not in good places in life and got up and walked out. 2 years of bullshit jobs later, I found my way back to the tech career I went to college for, but in support not development bc degree issues.
Yes but that's the number they will hire department-wide over the full year vs for one position in the next two weeks.
> Obviously I'm wrong, but I'm not sure why.

I bought a budget fountain pen as an experiment - can I reduce waste and potentially save money? It has been a complete success, with the side effect that writing has become much more enjoyable. I ended up getting my kids the Pilot Kakuno - they have also found writing to be more enjoyable and their penmanship has improved dramatically as a result.

Expensive pens don't have any allure to me. I'm sure they're nice, and many of them write better than a budget pen, but... I wouldn't turn one down as a gift, but I'm not interested at all in buying one.

The main exception might be high-assurance systems. They require clear description of requirements, formal specification of design + goals, proof one embodies the other, test cases that show it empirically, replication by third parties, and hostile review (pentesting) of all of that.

OpenTrackr can remove whatever they want from their tracker. Rights owners are free to ask them to take down material. They can then either challenge that request or do it.

There is a legal concept of "Contributory copyright infringement" which can make people liable for damages if they knowingly contribute, cause, or induce others to infringe on copyright.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributory_copyright_infring...

Does running a tracker do this? Maybe. OpenTrackr could find out what their court thinks by challenging rights owners until a case ends up there. Do they want to? Doesn't sound like it, so they remove the material.

Charging at home is difficult compared to driving to a gas station?

This is all moot. Sodium ion and lfp and newer battery techs will increase range and drop the initial purchase price of EVs under what an ICE can compete with

Some snap in time clickbait article won't change the technological tsunami. Even if the US drags it's feet, the rest of the world will eagerly adopt them. EVs promise energy independent and cheap transport combined with wind / solar.

Every automaker knows this to differing levels of organizational denial, but they all feel it coming.

What is the fitness level of people suffering from the more extreme cases of "long covid"? As in, are they overweight and unhealthy in other ways? Because if that is the case the issue isn't the virus, it's the general health of that population in the first place. That's my gripe about this discussion, because I can never tell, since all I get is anecdotes, if this is a result that's agnostic to body type/fitness. Does any research control for this?

it depends on how much charging you want. all EV's can charge off of a slower 115vac 15amp circuit. At my last place I had a dedicated 40amp 230vac socket much like you'd have installed for a big electric heater in a garage or a pool heater or a dryer. Good recharge times which I actually have only needed once in my life.

At my current place I'm just using an extension cord to my outdoor outlet and I give it the 1500 watt option. You can even cut that in half if you don't want the "my this cord is warm.." effect.

In the end, the slower charge is the better charge, so my laziness has been winning. I don't see installing a 230vac socket any time soon given how well it's been working.

I've got an older phev that originally only got 14 miles of pure electric @ up to 79 mph, it's battery is down to about 9 miles expected. And that isn't a lot, but it is enough for 90% of my trips around town. Where you REALLY see this working well is if you have to go out every day to pick something or someone up locally. The amount of fuel burned on warmup cycles and local trips is not insubstantial.

The gas tank needle just LOVES to move with every small trip otherwise.

I sometimes go months without buying gas using that tiny miniscule range.
>There are a lot more cars parked in garages than there are EVs.

What exactly are you suggesting? That EVs can only supplement gas-powered vehicles? That people can use other people's garages for their own EVs?

> EV adoption is far from saturated.

Major car manufacturers are slowing down their EV production because the cars just aren't competitive. That's saturation. EVs are overpriced and dangerous due to fire hazards, and only realistic for rich people who have the time and money to play.

>By the time that is anywhere close to happening, I expect that charge station deployments will be significantly improved as well.

Speaking of charging, we would need a huge increase in electricity production to be able to support lots of EVs on the road. California recently saw this pain happen when EV drivers were asked to not charge their cars. Eventually, it may be mandated that your car be equipped with "smart" chargers that don't charge most of the time, to save the grid. The idea of mandating EV adoption is dead on arrival. Notwithstanding nefarious intentions, I guess the lawmakers are hoping for dramatic improvements in tech that almost certainly won't come.

I bought a one year old used Leaf back in 2016 and still use it. The range isn't great with only 50-60 miles, but it works well for my commute and getting around town. For longer trips, I use my wife's car. I've considered buying a newer EV with longer range, however, I don't need it, so I've stuck with the Leaf and will probably drive it for another few years.

Keep in mind, newer EVs have better temperature control with longer lasting batteries than the ones on my 2015 Leaf. And my car started with only 85 mile range. But I knew that when buying the car.

Based upon the amount of comments here this must be a controversial comment but I can’t imagine how you do this. With one toddler, she can barely make a 1 hour trip let alone 11 hours. I could use an electric vehicle with a 90 mile range for that trip because that’s about how often I would need to stop. Props to you for keeping 2 toddlers in the car for 11 hours
Uh, that market is far far from tapped out. Just drive around any neighborhood that likely fits those characteristics and the vast majority of cars you'll see are still ICE (maybe hybrid).
Thankfully, DCFC is now standard! The rate isn't phenomenal, just as you pointed out, but this car competes with Civics. Many of those are purely commuter cars that might only very rarely do 300-400 miles.

It is a great vehicle.

I've been unemployed for the last 5 months and finally managed out of sheer luck to land a gig that sounded sweet on the outside but it's hell in the inside, and I really need the money. But I digress.

My experience with job search (Europe) has been full of companies calling me for an HR screener that will promptly inform me that they're on a hiring freeze. Some of them did it at the start of our discussion, some deferred it until the very end.

Not only did this affected my psychology but also my prep. At first, I would reach out to people working at the companies I had an interview with, get the inside scoop. I'd get positive impressions from their engineers, some friendlier than others. All good. Then, as time went on I started singing "let it go" and gave up on reaching out and researching entirely, or I'd half-assed it because everything suddenly sounded too good to be true.

Last but not least, you can tell which companies do that if you follow their Linkedin career page and notice that their job ads receive less applicants over time. It's almost as if people receive it via word of mouth, that or everyone interested is tired of it. But I know a guy who got the door and still ensures that he'll like and share everything they post on Linkedin, in spite of the fact that he's so good that he got offers from Apple and Microsoft before he even graduated, but turned them down for personal reasons.

That is why I stick to the hell that managed to crack a door slightly open to be hired. If people like him have issues, there's a downturn, and companies can afford to play talented candidates like a fiddle who would even hire my 40-year old junior-mid ass to do backend?

>Canada as a nation benefits from all our parts being within a common business zone

But there is no Free Trade between Provinces (Inter-Provincial Trade). Canadian Provinces have more Free Trade with the USA and Mexico than they do with each other. Canada isn't really a country in the economic sense. And aren't there restrictions on professions like Engineers and Nurses such that you can't just pick up sticks and go to work in another Province? There's bureaucratic paperwork to fill out before you are good to go.
what does turbo even mean in the context of an electric car? not sure how you could have forced induction or why porsche would name it that
We did. According to our estimates of electricity vs petrol, we would break even (vs petrol car) after about seven years, assuming it was valued at zero at that time. Now we have driven a bit more than we estimated, so it has been less costly than a petrol car. The range has dropped perhaps 5% in the time, which is hardly noticeable. The AC compressor blew up four days before the warranty expired, so let's hope it lasts another few years.

The next purchase is probably 3–4 years in the future. At that time the child is older and can stand some longer road trips, which means we are going to want more range.
You're right about submarine cables running DC along the shielding/armor to power the optical amplifiers. However it's worth pointing out that there are so-called "repeater-less" systems that do use optical delivery of pump power to the amplifiers (typically they combine this with Raman amplification). Those systems can deliver high capacity communication (not sure where the record stands at but 100s of Gb/s to low Tb/s) over >500 km without any electrical connection (you still need power at the receiver though).

These are typically used for short submarine connections to e.g. connect an island. As it is much cheaper than running a full repeatered system.

I don't know about fake jobs, but as a ML Engineer looking, my experience has been appalling, despite all the AI/ML hype. I'm tempted to write a blog post about it, but the highlights are:

* More than half of recruiters ghosted me at different stages of the process.

* Many companies are unreasonably strict with their requirements, asking for x years of experience in their exact tech stack as a deal breaker.

* Pay is much lower than my current company even for more senior roles.

* Some positions are just ridiculous. One of them asked for a ML Engineer with experience in React to maintain a website. Another was completely unable to answer what their business do or what the responsibilities of the role are.

Overall a far cry of the narrative of ML Engineers fending off recruiters who throw wads of cash trying to recruit them.
