Allowing countries to invade another is what is disastrous for peace. Policies that make such actions extremely costly reinforce the peace-incentive. This is standard game theory: reward cooperation, punish exploitation.

Ukraine is still making the front page on CNN, ABC, New York Times, Washington Post, and NPR. The Ukrainians will decide what to sacrifice and what not to.

Agreed. Is anyone aware of any explicit statements by NATO about how they would respond to a tactical nuke? Has this been clearly stated? I've wondered what a proportionate response would be though. Sevastapol? From the NATO perspectiv

That this is a battle between the USA and Russia is propaganda. Pushing that message allows a kind of moral ambivalence. But that's not the truth. This is a brutal invasion of a smaller weaker country by its neighbor. Despite all the f

Totally. He's watching his house burn down, and is trying to act like it's just another play on the chessboard. I particularly loath how Russian spin keeps trying to make this about being a proxy war with the west. They invaded a

Sigh Where? Show a signed treaty or international agreement to this effect. Contrast that to the signed pledged mentioned in this article. A pinky swear Putin claims someone gave him 25 years ago is pretty flimsy grounds for what-about-is

If you're aware of any other refugees Ukrainian or Russian, that need a place in the USA, please let me know. My understanding is that the US is not letting in refugees yet though.

Ometepe, an island in Nicaragua also has this. There is virtually no traffic control either. You've just got to look both ways... and up, before you drive across it. [0] https://www.google.com/maps/@11.5238261,-85.

As the brother of a homeless person, many do have a place to go, but choose the homeless lifestyle. My brother moved to a big west coast city to be homeless. Cheaper housing there wouldn't have helped him.

Some people do try to generate a single SQL query that covers all nested resolves. See Join Monster [1]. I'm skeptical that it would ever work well in SQL. Datomic, being close to a graph database, makes constructing a single deep quer

#2 is fantastic. I would love for it to be even slower. Something like a brief overview of last week, or last month. I can't news I've read yesterday, which means most it was pointless.

This is precisely why leaderboards suck. Instead of picking the single best contributor, do as the OP did and acknowledge all good contributors.

Given that the revolution was in 1917, and how much the working class urbanized following the revolution, I'd have a hard time believing that pre-revolution housing stock was sufficient beyond the first decade. Surely much built-to-sui

How on earth could a retirement savings have been totally wiped out by the 2008 financial crisis? If you had bought at the peak and sold at the bottom (unlikely for a retirement account), you'd have lost at most 50% of your value. Hold

Which is quite hard to measure. Hence the need for credentialing, such as certifications, portfolios, etc, testing, prior experience, and yes, degrees. What's odd about a degree is that it's the learning coupled with the credentia

The Cambodian genocide had a definite ideological side, as well as the repression of Kulaks [1]. I'm not sure why it's not traditionally listed as a genocide since it's effects would squarely place it somewhere in the top 5.

A good accuracy for any solution is based far more on the problem than the model trying to solve it. 70-80% for one problem space might be horrible, but be a dream for others.
