My guy, translating between an Anglo and a non-Latin (Slavic) language is not a precise science. Please don't rely on YT autogenerated captions to fully capture all aspects of reality. Use the eyes that are found in the forward part of

Look, I received what is now considered a classical education, where one is expected to show how their evidence supports a cogent and coherent argument. I understand that you, however, subscribe to the modern school, where you wait for your

This doesn't have the technical capability to incinerate bodies because it would need to get more than 1000 degrees hotter than the quoted maximum temperature. That's a physics challenge.

1. This doesn't get hot enough to cremate bodies. 2. "This incinerator can burn 20000 kg/day of trash" != "This can burn 150 bodies" 3. Is this being used in Ukraine? Are there any of these devices in Russia?

That's a fascinating exploration of how you would design and run such an operation. Is there evidence that any of this is happening? The truck that someone posted looks like it could fit two bodies and gets to 1200 degrees, which I gue

Look at the video provided. That thing would maybe fit two bodies at best, and doesn't reach the temperature needed to incinerate a body. I think these claims require a much higher burden of proof than what is being offered here.

The video shows them putting in trash, and that it fits about a pallet of cardboard. It also says it gets to 1200 degrees, much less than the 1800-2000 degrees required to incinerate a human. > That getting rid of corpses at scale is a p

Can you link to these videos? I'm not sure what you think these regulations prove. AFAIK Russia is probably the only military of its size engaged in operations that would result in mass field casualties of soldiers, what should they do

Anyone who has had a relative cremated knows that it takes 2+ hours for the body to be fully reduced to ashes and bone fragments. Two hours, for a single body, in a facility the size of a large garage. Just do some napkin math for what that

Hi joebob, This is a rhetorical or satirical commentary on the fact that media technology, while having the superficial capacity for increasing access to and quality of information, often has the opposite effect of what one might expect des

I was told that the age of multimedia would deliver radical transparency, where rumors would be dispelled before they had a chance to propagate, and superstitious beliefs would become untenable.

It's insane to think that some of you value the words of a person - who has no relevant experience in anything being discussed, - works for an outlet which has shown countless times that it cannot reliably and accurately report on near

An earnestly posted, semi-anonymous comment from an HN user claiming to have an insider account should be regarded more highly than a NYT reporter's account, unless/until independent evidence suggests otherwise. Can we please st

My point is that your statistic doesn't mean anything to the everyday reality of normal Americans. If I believe that I can achieve my goals, and the facts suggest that I'm right to do so, why should I care that someone else's

There is significant income mobility in the US, which is why "the one-percent" discourse consistently fails to resonate with Americans. When 73% of Americans have spent at least a year earning a top 20% income [0], focusing on the

N=1 indeed, but I think many are unfamiliar with the anatomical details of certain extreme behaviors, particularly the injuries. It's instructive to see it spelled out, but population-level conclusions shouldn't be drawn.

Yes I understand that. That is only a description of what mental arithmetic you can do if you define your terms arbitrarily conveniently. "It is possible for a man to provide care" is not the same statement as "it is possible

Please don't waste time with this kind of obtuse response. This fact says nothing about why nursing is a female-dominated career. You claim to know that this is just an accidental fact of history or society -- how do you know that?

How do you know this? Because you can, in your mind, divide the function of a nurse from the statistical reality of nursing? Are the logical divisions you make in your mind really indicative of anything other than your arbitrary personal pr

Correct. Sending a new draft along with a message saying "here are our revisions," is standard contract negotiation. You would have no case that the new terms were consented to. It's amazing that you people are still arguing

Nvidia have always shipped closed-source drivers, despite AMD and Intel providing open source drivers for their GPUs. This made the experience on Linux second class to Windows, where while also closed source, at least you knew that bugs wou
