> What is the fascination with the left? Collectivism is fundamentally evil. Equating leftism with egalitarian outcomes is naive at best. Cuba, the Soviet Union and others exemplify what happens when leftism triumphs - only the elites are well off. The rest suffer equally. If the democrat party wants to recover, move to the center. Otherwise, they’re done.

Let me swap out some of the words to demonstrate how overly generalized your argument is.

> What is the fascination with the right? Capitalism is fundamentally evil. Equating rightism with fair outcomes is naive at best. DOGE, Project 2025, and "White House seeks plan for possible Russia sanctions relief" [1] exemplify what happens when rightism triumphs - only the dictators are well off. The rest suffer equally. If the Republican Party wants to recover, move to the center. Otherwise, they’re done.

That would be a good reason to be careful about floats, but it's not the issue described. There's just one implementation for the author's language with just two types: some kind of integer and some kind of real called "number". Any choice they make for the latter would have the issue in the article, but wouldn't have the issue you're describing, because there'd be a single nearest value in the chosen representation.
> That's unfortunate for first adopters and is a significant problem for adaption in lower-income circles (those typically buying second hand), but not a reason for going back to gasoline cars.

I'm not advocating (here at least) for a move back to combustion vehicles, I'm just noting what I have seen. I would say that unless there is a serious used EV market and that the poorer people are able to afford an EV, there will forever be a resistance. You can push poor people out of the urban areas to rural locations with poor shared transport options, but they still need to commute to work.

> All that being said: I agree that "green agenda items" will decrease in popularity (or really: they weren't that popular to begin with). But EVs in particular are just straight up cheaper. If not by construction, then definitely by the air pollution reduction interest of the Chinese government. I'd be highly surprised if incentive reduction has more than a delaying effect, if even that

I think the reversal of most green policies is on the cards as governments struggle to balance the books with an incoming global recession.

EVs are cheaper to run once you tax fuel to a higher price, otherwise they are not. EVs cost about half as much to run, and in the UK the fuel duty is approximately 50%, some of which is put into subsidising green electricity production. EVs are definitely not cheaper to construct, maintain or recycle end-of-life.

The only thing I can think is that they have reduced emissions during the operating life-time of the vehicle, but I haven't seen the numbers to suggest if this includes the entire lifetime. Some quick numbers:

Apparently petrol/diesel vehicles require ~5.6 tonnes CO2 to build, whereas EVs ~8.8 tonnes. I see numbers assuming that combustion vehicles produce ~4.6 tonnes CO2 annually, but it assumes 22.2 miles per gallon (very low fuel economy) and 11,500 miles driven a year (a heavy commuter). I think the assumptions are bad. That considered, then there is the recycling/upcycling of the vehicles. I know that for combustion vehicles this process is extremely efficient, as literally every part is recycled, much reused in the used car market.

The Wikipedia article you linked to doesn't support the assertion that Government spending should be less that 30%

And in-facts disputes the claim that lowering US tax rates would actually increase the tax take

We actually have the evidence to back this up as the deficit grew when Trump cut rates

This is also an unproven assertion as there are plenty of examples effective public spending and ineffective private production

You've outlined a really good marketing lesson - you need to know where your ideal audience actually puts their eyes. I've found, like you did, that Reddit is wonderful for getting traffic but terrible for actual conversions. So don't waste time or money marketing your product there. At least, not generically - if you have a specific subreddit that is your audience, that might be viable as long as you are not spamming.

Where do your ideal customers really spend time and pay attention? Maybe put an ad on Duolingo? Maybe hang on out forums of people looking to move to a new country? Maybe ask your current positive users where they think people of like minds would appreciate hearing about it?

This grosses me out a little, especially because the daughter is well into adulthood. Would this extend to being able to control if the daughter wants to do other things, like get medical procedures (fertility treatments? surgery to remove uterus etc)?

Editing to add: I think there's confusion in that I'm claiming fertility treatment is the same as suicide. I'm saying the logic the father is using makes no distinction that suicide is somehow special in this regard: his only justification is that she "has a personality disorder" and therefore shouldn't be allowed to make her own decisions with the medical authorities, because the father is deciding it is harmful to her. This can very easily be applied to any medical decision a woman may make.

The vast majority of suicide attempts end with a live person who has no long-term effects. The vast majority of medically assisted suicide attempts end with a dead person.

Having been through my daughter's suicide attempt, I far prefer the option that ends with a live person.
Well, no, see that's a great example of why this is a problem. If Intel sells you a CPU, it doesn't need a license to your data, because you give your data to your CPU in your computer. It would, in fact, be a huge red flag if Intel suddenly wanted a license to process your data, because they only need that if they're sending your data to them for processing.

Advanced is doing some heavy lifting.

The US military is far a cut above everything else, in terms of tactical readiness, sheer firepower and especially effective size.

We outspend any other nation - China included of which we spend an estimated 2.5 times more than - and we have been in that lead position for decades, not just years.

While yes, US forces haven’t squared off against conventional militaries of any note in some time, the US military has at least been engaged in real conflict. To my recollection the Chinese military have undertaken no significant military campaigns in the last 20+ years and lack the air & sea power to functionally match anything the US military can throw at it by comparison.

Which leaves ground forces, which is both vulnerable to air power and is effectively the numbers game the Chinese can win outright in a protracted war that escalated to that level, and cyber warfare, which the Chinese have proven to be quite adept at but the US military has been aware and developing counter measures against that for a long time as well

This talking conventionally of course.

China being a nuclear power means it would be unlikely to escalate past a certain point if anyone is acting rationally. There’s no reason you want to give another nuclear power a reason to use those weapons, and certainly the US nuclear arsenal is not one anyone wants to see fired either.

So in all likelihood this continues as a Cold War

You can cite facts to provoke an emotional response and make people sympathetic to your ideology. That's propaganda.

> Citing a correct fact about the world is not propaganda, as facts are neither doctrine nor "reflect views".

It says "propagation of doctrine" and facts can be used to propagate a doctrine.

Edit:

Here's a definition from Wikipedia:

> NATO's 2011 guidance for military public affairs defines propaganda as "information, ideas, doctrines, or special appeals disseminated to influence the opinion, emotions, attitudes, or behaviour of any specified group in order to benefit the sponsor, either directly or indirectly".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#Definitions

Does that sound like the information has to be false to be propaganda?
I have. That is and has been an accurate description of selling data. Feel free to explain what you feel the change is definition is and maybe this community can help you see how there is no difference at all.
I tried to convey that there are exceptions, but I'm not sure I succeeded.

That's incredibly shortsighted if the court accepts the argument that she changed her mind a number of times. This only encourages people, who might change the minds and opt not to die, to stand by their decision even if uncertain or the court will rip away their choice.
If I didn't know how incompetent and delusional our "leaders" are, there would probably be a sense of betrayal. But now it's just... void. Well, at least I got to grow up during the best time this world has ever seen, so I'm thankful for that.

Putin, Trump, Russians, Americans... are just doing their thing. Can't really be mad about that. I always thought there will never be another war in Europe, because (1) nobody's dumb enough to die for a bunch of crooks and (2) cannon fodder is not a great use of people anyway. Oh well, turns out propaganda is one hell of a drug (on both ends of the political spectrum).

Nope. The proposals are for expansion. Eutelsat currently provides service in Ukraine.

Sure, Europe fucked up by relying on Musk. Now they have the opportunity to fix it. In the meantime, it’s insanity to divert any resources to Musk that could go to building a competitor, even if heavily subsidised. (U.S. ignoring WTO rules means dumping and state-support rules no longer apply.)

The US military might be battle-hardened and ready for war, but the US public is not. The public is soft and fragile and totally unready for the sacrifices and losses that come from a serious war where we're not an overwhelming force against a tiny Middle Eastern country. The public will not work together collectively to get through a war. We're not going to put up with rationing programs, collecting scrap metal, Victory Gardens, buying war bonds, and take a detour from our careers to work in factories producing ammunition. Hell, half the public couldn't even deal with stay-at-home during COVID and went out protesting when they couldn't eat at the Olive Garden and buy their khakis for a few weeks. Ain't no way we have the intestinal fortitude to put up with a sustained hot war.

Show HN: Kubejyg – Kubernetes Resource Extraction with Namespace Grouping
kubejyg is a CLI tool which extracts and groups kubernetes resources by namespace ready to be piped into well known processors, such as jq, yq and grep.

Before writing this tool, I was constructing convoluted shell scripts which iterated over namespaces to fetch the resources, so "kubectl get" and then apply the "describe" on them. I ended up writing several aliases which I could no longer remember. kubejyg automateds both "get" and "describe" and outputs the results in a convenient format which can be processed by word processors, like jq or yq, depending the output format (JSON or YAML).

There's quite some work to be done, like adding additional flags or introducing more resources. Checkout the Contributing section if intereseted.

It was not even an agreement at all, nevermind binding. It was words said by the Russian president. Not a contract, not a memorandum, just words in a meeting. If Ukraine took one sentence said by the Russian president in a meeting as security guarantees from US (emphasis on the word guarantees) then they are the problem.

Security guarantees would at minimum require a treaty ratified by congress in US, something which I don't think is on the table any more at all.
