Yeah, compared to a war it's a lot cheaper for NATO to do some posturing.

Posturing like gorillas beating their chests is the only mechanism for showing the Russian that we stand by article 5. Things only really get very dangerous, if the Russians got the idea that NATO wouldn't stand together. Deploying a f

I think the idea is the same as why many European countries went into Afghanistan: To demonstrate a commitment to NATO. Norway did actually achieve one of their goals in Afghanistan: > ...the domestic goal of the mission, to prove Norway

I can't help think that it's a bit unfortunate that the US would be selling LNG, if sanctions result in the EU not buying Russian gas. > Nato cannot rely on these countries against Russian threat. I think that's a big stre

It also seems to me that the future is with phones, because manufacturers keep pushing the envelope on phone camera performance. And as fewer people buy standalone cameras, research in better camera will focus on phone camera, since that&#x

Cleaning alone is the best motivator for induction. I mean who doesn't spill when cooking?

Yeah, it's also my take that one should be careful correlating ups and downs to things eaten -- it might as well be stress or just bad luck. That said, if I can get some placebo effect benefits from believing that reducing processed fo

But building put transfer capacity is a known quantity. I would think energy storage is harder to solve than building more transfer capacity?

2000-2010 internet companies had to actually have revenue, or have users or some value. Before the dot-com bubble there was hype about anything involving the internet. Just like today, any business plan involve blockchain is awesome.

Do we really need to store wind energy? Why not just have more capacity than we need, and a grid to redistribute it.

If you're polite about it, good managers want to know about crippling technical debt and unrealistic deadlines. (* Not all managers are good)

Just my personal opinion, but designing websites to support old browser versions is not the solution. Such old browsers probably have known security vulnerabilities. Maybe find a new OS? Seems sad that old devices can't keep working.

And most open source projects that are just starting out want adoption. Which is why they wouldn't go with something like this.

If we are willing to admit that repositories like npm are useful, what can be done to mitigate these issues? Is there some tooling we can build?

Ink printer is a scam. We've known it for years. How is this not ripe for disruption? Honestly, I haven't bothered owning a printer, but if I had to -- I would probably try my luck at a laserprinter.
