That was a fascinating rabbit hole. I ended up watching his yt presentation of his latest paper. This link is the type of info I still read Hacker News for.

"One [of] his most important dicta, which he called his first principle of reason, is “Do not block the way of inquiry!”" Yes. It is quite interesting to consider the implications for the belief systems of people/groups who a

I am also forced to use it for work, and agree that MS Teams is annoying. However, it sucks less than some of the other stuff I have to use, which appears to have been designed by people intent on sabotaging our work

I bought one in 2008, installed Debian. It's very slow but still works perfectly. Very light use, for the past 10 years.

Let's see how well "botched war" does in the coming weeks and months. There is a big, as in enormous, battle coming in Eastern Ukraine and if the Russian encirclement is successful, there will be very little between Kiev and

Anybody who places a value on human life has every right to be frustrated by the current situation and every right to be outraged at the US' behaviour over the last 3 decades.

Where is NATO going to expand to after Russia wins in Ukraine? This war changes everything. The most likely outcome is a massive, resource-rich Eurasian bloc with China as its center of gravity, with increasing influence in the (also resou

It's not a valid comparison. Russia isn't "raping" Ukraine because her skirt was too short. It's defending itself (from Russia's point of view) because Ukraine is (or was) making itself a NATO attack platform.

How did they get informed consent ?

by a0-prw 5y ago
From Russia's perspective, they are pre-emptively preventing the further expansion of NATO towards their borders. For Russia, NATO expansion to the East looks like the build up to an invasion. Hey, I don't say they're right,

They won't get help in the form of military intervention. The US wants the war to drag on because it's bad for Russia, but there is no way they will risk their own skin in a nuclear war. Ukrainians are discovering what Kurds, Af

FB promotes a lynch-mob mentality. It's poison, even if they remove all the ads for genocide. Also, Insta is degrading and dehumanizing. Nothing Meta have made or meddled with will ever promote anything good or wholesome in human being

If a major war was to break out, the only mountains there would be, would be mountains of dead.

If it's just harmless research material, why should they be worried about it falling into Russian hands ?

Somebody should carefully explain to the wsj exactly what "decisive" means. The outcome of this war is a foregone conclusion.

The West needs an offramp. Russia will achieve its objectives. China, India, Brazil, Iran (which just openly attacked a US/Israeli base in Northern Iraq), and 17 African nations are more or less ignoring Western sanctions. The West has

Nope. It is more like 1972 than 2022. It doesn't matter what Ukraine wants. It doesn't matter , in the same sense that it didn't matter what Iraq wanted in 2003, or Serbia in 1998. We need to wake up in the West. And Ukr

No complaining about NATO threatening Russia's agency from me. I'm saying that these fine words about agency and values are BS. I am advocating for a realistic world view, which requires that you actually understand what matters t

I think that's naive. In refuting European countries claim to not have been consulted on the Afghanistan withdrawal, for example: Stoltenberg is quoted as saying, “Of course the United States consulted with European allies, but at the

Why not? They're dirt cheap right now and eventually things will straighten out. I would buy more if I could but I'm not allowed to right now ;)
