Her and what army?

Just want to clarify that I am personally against invading any country. But Russia did indeed invade this country, so I am brainstorming as to what their equation may be.

Russia is after all a rational actor on the world stage, and they must have thought the benefits are stronger than the cons.

> Russia has no real threat from NATO - there is 0% chance of NATO aggression towards Russia, and they know it.

I actually think that this is wrong. And that is the key to understand Russia’s behavior.

Russia seems to have (legitimate I would say, given the past) fears that it will be attacked eventually like it happened in the past and needs to be - as a result of that - heavily defended.

This war has proven that as long as national interests are strong enough, those economical ties most likely won't last..which is a scary precedent for Europe in general.

I suggest scaling nuclear power all the way, while still innovating and investing in non-nuclear clean energy in the meantime.

No. It's like saying that we need more food (and technology to produce it) to sustain an ever growing population, rather than saying we should mass-murder our population to bring it back within an acceptable boundary. This will bring investments, technology advancements, and trigger a race to generate energy in a better way.

We will always consume more energy (and food!) as our civilization progresses, I am embracing that without blocking that. Also, even without crypto we still need to find better energy sources anyways, so what's the pushback all about? We are just kicking the can down the road with no action other than "criminalizing" crypto.

> Instead of talking about these "gas fees" in terms of their monetary value, we should measure them in terms of tons of CO2, or perhaps its equivalent acres-of-the-Amazon-rainforest-lit-on-fire. I'm 100% serious.

I am so annoyed by this argument. The question we should be asking ourselves is how electricity is being generated in the first place. Fighting crypto is the wrong fight for environmentalists: the right fight is transitioning to healthier and cleaner source of energy in a world that will inevitably consume more and more electricity as part of our organic progress, with or without crypto.

If anything, use crypto and electric cars as a driver to enact these changes, not as blockers, since they drive more electric consumption and therefore they help making a stronger case for cleaner source of energy.

It’s under appreciated what having a specific passion - and continuously exercising it over time - can do. It does wonders. It’s essentially finding reward in the journey itself.

ADHD, dropping out, etc are all beliefs that society labels as “non-productive”, but when somebody has passion and determination and a lot of time doing what they enjoy doing with no reward other than feeding this passion, then that’s all it takes. Consider yourself lucky because in my experience a very small number of people can do this, nobody wants to put the time it takes. Sometimes it takes decades. Coincidentally my form of ADHD disappears once I am in the flow, makes me wonder if ADHD is just aka for “I just don’t fundamentally enjoy what I am doing therefore my brain needs to reward itself in other ways”.

Even better if we end up pursuing a nice hobby in a booming field like technology.

Reality is that most people give up, because ultimately they pursue fields they are not deeply interested in to begin with. The ultimate curse: to dedicate our life to something we don’t care because we didn’t spend enough time exploring what we really cared about.

From a psychological standpoint, what does "falling back to Earth mean"? Is it the sudden lack of public recognition? Is it the sudden lack of energy that feeds the personal narcissistic trait? Is it acceptance of defeat because the artistic viewpoint wasn't able to evolve with the times, therefore feeling "deprecated"?

Ultimately, if the goal of an artist is to feel great in the eyes of others, is it the sudden lack of purpose? Shouldn't an artist that believes in their own art, be happy in the good and bad times, since their artistic output is all they need to find purpose?

It's 2022 today and they estimate to complete the project in 2024. Italy had electrified lines in the 1930s, for comparison. There is really no excuse however you look at it. I guess better later than never.

Caltrain in the Bay Area, the capital of world technology, is still a....diesel train. I can't help but chuckle whenever I see one.

What breed do you have now? And was the old dog of the same breed?

Yes, and men or children as well, because toxic and/or abusive relationships affect every group.

> Only one case out of the 150 we reviewed involved a man who suspected an ex-girlfriend of tracking him with an AirTag.

I wonder if the sample size is too small, or if it’s really a 1:150 ratio in offenses.

As a European, food at the farmer’s market is usually cheaper in Europe because we cut the middleman and go straight to the producer. Somehow in the US, it’s more expensive instead because “artisanal”, “organic” and so on.

As such, in the US, farmer markets always feel like a scam to me.

$7, but yeah it’s good.

It’s a better pattern for racing since you can more easily shift between 2nd and 3rd gear in a quicker way. Older Ferraris (I believe the Testarossa and the TR512, but maybe others too) also have the same pattern.

You are overthinking this by a wide margin. UberCab was being used with the same meaning of “Ubercool”.

And you are factually wrong: UberCab was created without Travis Kalanick, by Garrett Camp. Travis invested in UberCab 6 months later or so, and he became CEO as part of the deal.

Do your research please.

If you are referring to Uber the app, "Uber" had nothing to do with ego. The cab experience was poor, and the service was called UberCab to delineate a better cab experience. Cab++ if you wish.

They got sued for using the word "cab" in "UberCab", and just shorted the name to "Uber".

I wonder if planes could be built in such a way to include two sheets of outside layer, with a gas (can a gas be used to shield radiation?) in between those sheets to shield the passengers from outside radiation.

Or maybe use a polyethylene layer?

If Ukraine becomes a NATO member, Russia won’t be able to defend it’s border from a conventional attack.

By looking at a map, this is quite evident.

School is like an interface that tries to work with a million different implementations (the students), but it only achieves to make them all average.

It's a creativity killer and that's why creative people rarely are a good fit, most times their creativity is not encouraged, but it's being dismissed as "rebellious". How is this healthy for the kids? And how uniforming them is good for society?

Sometimes I feel like school is more about power and control rather than really helping the students.

And when this behavior is being translated to more traditional city crime where residents typically are the ones calling the police for help, it also has the effect of demoralizing the factual reporting of such crimes (because "nothing happens anyways"), further decreasing the statistics which just become fake.

Then fast forward a few years, you end up in a situation like in San Francisco, where crime is clearly up to the roof everywhere you look, but you have local politicians saying - with confidence - that it is down instead.

What’s wrong with the Chrysler 300?

Sic transit gloria mundi.

I wonder why they haven't compartmentalized the wall in such a way that in case of structural failure only individual sections will potentially collapse, not the whole thing.

Kong Gateway - which is built on top of NGINX - provides frequent DNS lookups for free in the open source version, and we have implemented this feature a very long time ago (2017?) to overcome this limitation.

So if you need need this capability for free, check it out. Not only that, but SRV record resolutions too.

Essentially it’s like JPEG pictures: the quality degrades the more times it’s being shared.

But will it be competitive enough?

I believe it is also due to the fact that people are naturally jealous of other people's fortunes, since wealth is generally being perceived as zero-sum, whether it's true or not.

So here you have a bunch of people that seem to be getting rich "at the expense" of others, and maybe don't fully understand why, therefore they put up a fight. Very natural tribal behavior identifiable in a variety of different ways in the history of human kind.

Also people think of themselves as naturally intelligent (ego), so if something is creating wealth but they don't fully understand why, the instinctive reaction is to dismiss it because the other option is to essentially admit lack of knowledge which hurts their ego, therefore it is again a natural "self preservation" reaction. Also this more naturally creates an emotional response, since ego is a highly emotional subject to begin with.

To be against Bitcoin is also a generally safer bet: dismissive opinions are almost always small easy wins in the unpredictability of the future of Bitcoin. But Bitcoin maximalist only have to be right once eventually. We saw this with every major invention, electricity (will kill people!), internet (just a fad!), etc.

Now with that said I am not expressing an opinion on the eventual success of Bitcoin, it could very well fail.

Kuma's architecture has been built in such a way that the multi-zone support is native in the product and not an afterthought. This is significant, since policy storage, policy propagation, policy reconciliation, error handling and so on is natively built inside the core architecture, with 1st class support for Envoy since day one.

It abstracts Envoy concepts into "policies" that are easier to apply and use, it provides a more stable API and experience across distributed workloads, and it also includes native support for VM applications. Even Kelsey Hightower loves it [1].
