100 meters / days is 3.6 kilometers a year. To reach western point of Ukraine, Russians need to go about 1000 kilometers - so at 100 meters a day it would take them nice 277 years.

Of course, they are going slower than that. And also, at the current rate of attrition, Russia will run out of Russians long, long before that.

You can't confiscate something they don't have.

You're framing it as if it's China vs Belgium but Russia has about three times the population of Ukraine. And literally millions of Russian men already fled Russia rather than be conscripted.

Looking at current ratio of Russian and Ukrainian losses, having three times the soldiers is not going to be enough.

I think research actually show this is the other way around - very little women are ok with marrying less wealthy me, while for men it is common (e.g. male doctor might marry a female nurse but it will rarely happen the other way around).

Yes. It would be fine if the Leaf was cheaper. But at least around here, Leaf costs Tesla money, and getting worse product for the same money makes no sense.

> However, saying "degraded performance" when you know it's "down for everyone" is an industry phrasing thing that's irritating. AWS also has "elevated response times" when everyone is seeing 5xx errors, or infinite response times.

Another popular one is "elevated API error rates" when the error rate is 1.

GDPR doesn't apply when "national security" is at stake, so the governments themselves are not restricted by it.

I mthink realistically, as long as Google can abuse its market position to make any other mobile OSs nonviable by withholding access Gmail and Youtube and so on, nothing can challenge Android and iOS (which has the critical mass so that Google can't do this to get rid of it).

Even Microsoft with its infinite money failed when competing, because a monopoly to most of the Internet's email and video is just that powerful.

I think Norway is far ahead of other parts of the world, due to being rich and the tax structure around ICEs.

But I do wonder about the the gas stations. It is well known, that gas stations make most of their money on snacks and carwashes and random stuff you buy and not on the gas. Does that break down or will people in EVs still stop in gas stations to buy a snack? Maybe on roadtrips yes, on random visits no?

Will there be small shops selling snacks and coffee next to charging stations as well? Could gas stations pivot to being charging stations? (I guess not the inner-city ones, due to space, but the highway rest stop ones could).

Moreover, there will be millions of new cars sold to holding companies in December 2034 and then sold as "used" in 2035-2040 with zero kilometers on them. Same things happened every time there was a new emissions regulation in EU.

Given all the loopholes and the lifespan of modern cars, I would say 2035 is ridiculously late and it should have been 2025 or 2030 at most.

Also, the Russian have their experience with false flags (a while back with Finland and recent ones with apartment bombings) and as it often is with propagandists, accusations are also confessions.

Same with Uranium!

The reason is simple but bit insidious - when there is enough "known reserves" of something, it is not economical to look for more. Once the amount of known reserves shrinks, it beings to be worth it and people start looking again. So it might always look like we have between two to five decades of oil or uranium or lithium or whatever.

Realistically, we will end humanity by burning oil a lot sooner than we will run out of oil.

Since I was a kid, my biggest complain with generic comic book villains was always that "some dude out to destroy the world" is just too unrealistic.

Now as adult, I see that no, there are literally people who are trying to end humanity and destroy the world - not mad scientists or purple wizards from outer space, but climate deniers and pro-fossil fuel people.

There's a practice of selling older and higher karma accounts on Reddit, that are then used for marketing or propaganda, since they can pass new account filters that many subs have. I wonder if that is the case for HN as well - because it does seem really strange when someone who spent years talking about docker, go, and react suddenly starts posting about "NATO expanded eastwards" or somesuch.

I don't know if that would be more less sad than the prosaic explanation of people just being evil and dumb.

I like it.

It works for English, but sadly the selected fonts don't always have all the national characters. Sometimes there are similar enough replacements (e.g. Charis instead of Charter) but not always.

Just for comparison, for that kind of money per month AWS will rent you about 2 cores / 4 threads of AMD with 16 GB of RAM.

Are you even good enough to have impostor syndrome?

Interesting. It works the same in a most European languages (Vicepresidente, Vice-président, Vizepräsident, Wiceprezydent, Viceprezident, Віцепрезидент, Вице-президент, ...).

> ‘Vice’ in American English, still has alternative meanings, like ‘vice president’.

Does that count as English? I though it is borrowed Latin, like de facto, et cetera or per se.

Previous was max shift of 9 hours and max overtime of 75 hours per three months. Now it is 12 hour shifts with 145 hours of overtime per three months.

So yeah, this comes at 5x12 shifts.

I always love DuckDB articles because I can learn what is new in ClickHouse.

Your post history is full of pro-China political posts. Why are you on this site?

> But also understandable, once you start giving in, you're giving Russia an incentive to do it all over again and capture now territory.

Not just Russia. If Russia succeeds, China is invading Taiwan next, and the whole global economy is grinding to a halt because like 80 % of world semiconductor industry is there.

Saving Ukraine means saving the world.

I think there's basically two explanations:

1) Most startup people are just evil

2) HN is heavily controlled by Russia

The latter is pretty obvious (we're talking English discussion platform where you can create account in ten seconds with no verification and I'm not sure if there's any anti-bot measures).

The former ... most programmers are rich and they are convinced they are rich because they are awesome instead of lucky. Most programmers aren't very social or have emotional intelligence. Most programmers think they are better than others and are prone to "fuck you, got mine" thinking. And look how many startups are based on doing extremely exploitative and illegal things - Uber with illegal cabs, Airbnb with illegal hotels, and so on. Of course those people don't give a shit about suffering.

I like how you refer to people being able to defend from being enslaved and murdered as "throwing gasoline on the fire". If I started torturing and killing your family, would you let me do it because trying to stop is throwing gasoline on the fire?

Just how inhuman can you people be?

Yes, war caused by Russia trying to genocide Ukraine is caused by western industry.

Jesus Christ people do you even listen to yourself?

Let Russia take over, run their genocide they planned, you know, typical anti-war stuff.

We have seen some old equipment, but we have also seen HIMARS, Starstreak, NASAMS, Patriot, HARM, M777 (with Excalibur smart rounds), several types of drones, and bunch more stuff that is pretty much state of the art. Now there's 300 Bradleys and bunch of tanks on the way.

Yes, no F-35, which would be fun to watch, but I understand NATO has to keep some aces up its sleeves.

ETA: there were also some ... mysterious happenings. Like we still don't know exactly what blew up the airbase on Crimea. We don't know exactly what blew up the bridge. We don't know exactly what is hitting airbases many hundreds of kilometers behind the borders - some of them further from Ukraine than Moscow.

Russia has also said it will not attack Ukraine. Russia has also said their flagship sunk in a storm. Russia has also said there are American biolabs in Ukraine making supersoldiers.

What Russia says is worthless. Not sure what makes you serve as their personal rebroadcasting device.

Yeah, I think we have experimental evidence from EU that shows otherwise.
