How is it a proxy war? Again, you frame your argument as though is the U.S. driving everything, and that the Ukrainians have no agency or say. On one hand, you take shots at the U.S. as running roughshod over other country's wishes, and yet in your very same argument, deny that these nations have any say of their own.

Try this one on: The Ukrainians don't want to stop fighting, because they want their land and people back. They were given a security guarantee once, handed over their nuclear weapons as part of it, and that guarantee was ignored. They're not going to be burned twice.

If I were a Ukrainian, I'd find it rather insulting to be told that I was "dying for nothing" and that my country's sovereignty didn't matter, and that furthermore, I wasn't part of a real country (as Putin attests) but just some U.S. puppet.
The only redeeming factor for public transport in London is the tube, and that it does not have to deal with the traffic and you don't have to try to park when you get there. There is no other reason to take it.

Note that the congestion charge in London was supposed to fix the traffic (still no parking though), but it didn't and it's now basically just a toll. Good luck NYC.
Except no "neo-Nazi shit" is happening and hyperbolic exaggeration like this not only dilutes the meaning of the word but creates fatigue in the general public, causing them to tune out future accusations.

If you're a lawyer and you can't consciously go to bat for over 50% of the country because you genuinely think they are "neo-nazis" - yeah, don't be a lawyer. But do see a therapist, because that's probably a condition in the DSM.
Just tried to look at what some macro was generating using cargo-expand. It requires a LOT of dependencies. Took like 5 minutes to compile it all (run `cargo install cargo-expand` if you want to try). I almost aborted because the description of the crate says "Wrapper around rustc -Zunpretty=expanded." so I had expected the simplest possible crate to do that.
Are you sure that the "historical knowledge of many concepts" isn't a CCP slanted version of history? Or whatever suits the CCPs current interests? As a trivial example, do you think you are getting an unbiased view on Tiananmen Square or whether the US should back Taiwan in a war?

This is actually a coherent and legitimate argument rooted in objective data. Often you don't really get that when supporting what is not a popular position. People who support unpopular positions generally ignore data. (As do many others. At least most people ignore any data that disagrees with them.) You've taken the basis of the supposition, productivity, quantified it. Attributed it. And argued that income should follow attribution. Bravo.

You could do without the "should get paid less" part, as it puts part of your argument in the realm of subjectivity rather then objectivity for no real reason other than the tendency towards emotional responses I was mentioning earlier. ("Easier" life is completely subjective.) But the first part of this argument is really good.
I'm not really pro-bureaucrat, but perhaps the standard for food should be slightly different. Just maybe, (novel) food (additives/preservatives/ingredients) should first be proven safe, rather than waiting until they're proven unsafe to prohibit them. It's not as if this was a substance humans regularly ingested for centuries and people are only now wigging out... look at the wikipedia entry for this. The only halogen that's not part of this thing is apparently bromine, the IUPAC name for the chemical's about as long as my comment here.
From all charts, the most intriguing to me is the one comparing the median male and female income.

> That social infra is simply gone today. Parents don't have much of an interest, or are erroneously(!) assuming that teachers are supposed to do it, or used to do it.

You might be missing the fact that back in the day there often used to be one parent working and one parent staying at home. Nowadays both parents need at least one job. Wealth inequality at it again.
They’re all talking rubbish. Trump said he will finish the war in UA within 24 hours. They are just talking stuff angry people swallow like pelicans.

Not to be “that guy” but you did reply to someone saying “most other countries” with a counter argument citing three, then waved away the fact you’re unaware of most other countries. That’s where the pushback is coming from. The US tends to be a little more progressive than the middle of the pack in this space and set the global standard for food safety regulation where none existed before. The cherry picking of a few examples when discussing global comparisons is fraught and the US always exists in this world where whatever topic there’s always some other place doing better on some metric used as some argument the US is a steaming pile of refuse with wandering zombies laden with cancer and illiteracy. It’s not intellectually honest or particularly helpful in discussion of the actual problems. Anyway - that’s where the pushback came from, not that these three countries regulate food dye additives better or not.
There is a lot of variation in community and comment quality on YouTube. Similar to Reddit there is a massive long tail of smaller communities and topics which absolutely have vibrant and real, helpful comments. And on the biggest channels and videos there is a lot of bullshit and low quality comments. Both are true at the same time so it would be a shame to stamp out the genuine communities and connections
>Are you suggesting that Germany is not "free" to choose to have economic relationships with e.g. Russia because of United States military reasons?

Yes. America deeply disapproves of Germany having economic relations with Russia and it puts political pressure on Germany to sever those relationships.

It also puts heavy pressure on Germany to maintain good relations with Israel in spite of the racially-motivated genocide (which is a bit awkward morally speaking given Germany's history...).

It's plausible that blowing up the pipeline was supposed to reduce the risk of that relationship being rekindled - it was probably seen by America as a risk that all that was required to stop the Germany economy from screaming was to turn on one switch.

>Do you think the US military is the primary reason Germany (the people, the government) is reluctant to trade with Russia?

I think the reason that Germans are, on average, reluctant to trade with Russia but less reluctant to trade with Israel is mostly about the propaganda they consume which is, yes, indirectly driven by US hegemony.

Non-mainstream parties (i.e. those that America doesn't have its claws into) have a lot of wacky ideas about tossing out immigrants and turning on the gas taps to Russia again. There is a significant risk of them winning.
>more bloated.

I cannot believe how slow and laggy even the most basic of Microsoft applications are on Windows 11. Launching something as simple as the calculator takes a second or two to load in. What could it possibly be doing to warrant such a long load time? The 'classic' calculator on previous versions would appear near instantly once clicked.

I am also baffled as to how something like the new right click context menu can have items loading in and then changing the order of icons once they do finish loading on every single click. For example, why does Skype need to have its menu item load every time the context menu is opened? Why not pre-load this on boot? The classic context menu had no such issues.

Rather than go on and on, I sense Product Owners at Microsoft no longer care about fast and performant code.

Yeah, she's not the best poster-girl for the problem, apparently getting a divorce for her scammer, and having a daughter who warned her after she was duped (much more difficult to accept due to sunk cost and embarrassment).

But her relative age just highlights how you don't have to be 95 to fall for these scams when fakes are getting so good. I should have said, I hope you are warning and educating your parents, grandparents, spouses, children.

Please inform your loved ones why it's important to never trust unsolicited communication.

We are currently developing a project and were very open regarding the provider and none came close to Cloudflare pages.

The free geo information in the header alone is already worth it for us so we save money on purchasing a separate ip db but also don't waste time for the separate db call looking up the location.

I was very disappointed by their kv store latency and that d1 does not replicate yet. So we ended up comparing a poor man solution in just providing the json at a http endpoint on our webserver vs. quite a few global kv providers.

We set up a promise race and did thourough global tests. Doing the http request beat the global kv store providers by far, even if they have a pop in syd, the cloudflare http request to europe or the us was still faster. We are using Argo though, this might have helped as well.
How much work you want to put into understanding abstraction logic is very much up to you.

I thought Microsoft 365 was the online cloud stuff. They just released Office 2024, didn't they?

So is Microsoft 365 the whole suite, and Office 2024 is the umbrella term for the offline Microsoft 365 apps?
I ran across this theory years ago about a piece of legislation in late 1970 allowed lobbyists into previously closed door committee meetings, thus allowing lobbyists to assert direct pressure on congressional members. The second video is from the same guy but is rather long and goes into this idea that transparency in congressional committees is a counter-intuitively bad idea because it allows lobbyists to proactively apply pressure before anything ever gets to a floor vote.

> executive compensation became wholly disconnected from worker compensation

The "Celler–Kefauver Act is a United States federal law passed in 1950 that reformed and strengthened the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914" [1]. It kicked off the conglomerate boom in the 1960s by incentivising buying "companies in unrelated fields" [2]. (Conglomerates were nudged along "thanks to low-interest rates and a market that fluctuated between bullish and bearish, providing good buyout opportunities for acquiring companies.")

That ended with Volcker's early 80s recession [3], which co-incided with (a) computers in finance enabling new entrants to (i) create new financial instruments, e.g. high-yield bonds [4], and (ii) circumvent banks to distribute them [4]; and (b) a multi-decade decline in rates [5].

Herego, my pet theory: since the 1960s we've been in a series of corporate regime changes, each which created demand for a new type of leader (about once a decade), said leader being scarce and thus valuable at the beginning of each shift. (The internet also gives executives unprecedented direct access to investors, customers and employees, current and potential.)

From the page:

[Image Description: A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like edge-on, against a pitch-black backdrop. The Milky Way’s disc appears in the centre of the image, as a thin, dark-brown line spanning from left to right, with the hint of a wave in it. The line appears to be etched into a thin glowing layer of silver sand, that makes it look as if it was drawn with a coloured pencil on coarse paper. The bulge of the galaxy sits like a glowing, see-through pearl in the shape of a sphere in the centre of this brown line.]

I'd expect that foreigners don't have the same rights as the constitution would grant a citizen. The same goes with a reasonable right to privacy - it generally only applies to citizens. The US government isn't there to protect the world (though they may appear to try sometimes).

Why would anyone give a celeb money? Especially a high profile one like Brad Pitt.

But Brad Pitt? That's almost as bad as Ryan Reynolds or Kevin Hart asking you for money cause they're in so many movies.
My old gym teacher also taught science because we just couldn't find another teacher, and was genuinely surprised to learn there were forms of matter smaller than atoms.

My health teacher was a "permanent substitute" situation where we just watched movies the whole semester and got A's.

One of my math teachers died and we just...never hired a replacement, so nobody learned anything that semester.

Bonus: my driver's education teacher was arrested for a DUI (but not terminated)

These situations were all in different schools in different US states, so the lack of quality control in admin that you describe definitely resonates.

The site is titled as a question specifically asking about a particular year. If you have rudimentary financial history knowledge, then you would be aware that 1971 was the year Nixon took the US off of the gold standard.

At the same time, if you have rudimentary economic history knowledge, then you would be aware that 1973 was the Arab Oil Embargo, and that the 1970s were an era of economic stagnation and inflation whose principal cause was that economic event.

If you reevaluate many of these graphs knowing that the 1970s were a period of high inflation, and that there was a significant economic event in 1973, you end up finding that 1971 wasn't actually all that special: indeed, most of the time, when 1971 looks to be a key inflation point, it's because the graph isn't indexed for inflation and so the beginning of high inflation being around 1971 stands out. Where the graphs are indexed for inflation, there's no obvious inflection point around 1971, instead the inflection point shifts a lot more towards 1980.

Putting that together, the only reason you have to make an argument for a monocausal economic event that happens in 1971 is if you want to emphasize the importance of the gold standard, and the only reason you'd have to believe it is if you don't have the economic literacy to understand why the evidence just isn't there at all. Put that together, and the reasonable assumption is that the people who made these charts are goldbugs who want to convince you that we need to return to the gold standard.
I don't know if it will work for you, but I wrote a Quicksort using lambda calculus in Python, and I explained the process of writing it here:

https://lucasoshiro.github.io/software-en/2020-06-06-lambdas...

Please note that I'm not an expert in lambda calculus, just a curious nerd and it won't explain everything, like the reductions, combinators and so on. But there I explain how to implement simple types (int, boolean, pairs and lists) using Church encoding, let expressions and recursion using the Y combinator (yay, I finally used the expression "Y combinator" on HN!). Everything that we need to implement a quicksort (which is a relatively complex algorithm) using the almost nothing that we have in lambda calculus.

Another point is that it's all implemented in Python, using the Python notation instead of the lambda calculus notation, so you can run the code in your machine and play with the examples
In 1971, the US withdrew from the Bretton-Woods agreement. In 1973 we had the oil crisis: Net production in western countries had peaked and governments switched over to importing oil from OPEC.

Those two events disenfranchised the working man in the US.
I actually expected them to do better (militarily, obviously worse for Ukraine) in the first few days of the war. They showed the Russian military hadn't learned much from their previous logistics issues, but resources wasn't the problem.

Sounds like we just have different expectations of how stretched the Russians are today, nothing wrong with especially as I'm assuming neither of us have access to the most meaningful field assessment reports.

My view on how the Russians have handled the war, since losing their chance at a quick sweep, has been that they are doing only enough to keep pressure and roughly maintain the front line gains they made. Sure that line has moved, and Ukraine did a pretty impressive job capturing some Russian territory which I don't think was expected by many, but the Russians seem to be balancing a lot more than just a single goal of victory.

I'm curious where you are getting reliable Intel on the Russians current stockpile of munitions, I haven't come across anything meaningful there publicly beyond potentially politically motivated statements and reporting regurgitating those same claims.

Edit: its worth noting there are other reason the North Koreans may have sent troops. If the country is feels the military needs actual combat experience for whatever reason, for example, they could send troops regardless of whether it actually helps the Russian effort.

Tiktok is obviously a massive national security risk, and I find it funny people don't see that.

It is extremely well established that propaganda has great value, and so allowing a foreign adversary the capacity to potentially control the information your citizens receive in a clandestine way is insanely dangerous.
