Oh get over yourself. It was perfectly intelligible. You just choose to not to try and understand the post and push it off to some claim of not being able to choose to just ignore it like there is some magic going on.

While I have strong skepticism of anything from the Government, I literally cannot find any reason that NATO or the USA would have any reason to to start a conflict with Russia inside Ukraine without provocation.

https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/01/1110912 The UN reports that Russian troop buildup is happening at the border

The area has already had Russian agression via Crimea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_of_Crimea

Are people suggesting that no one should respond militarily to an allies plea for help to respond to military aggression?

The cool thing about democracies is that we could democratically decide to tax the ultra-wealthy at a much higher rate.

And yet it doesn't happen

And glass-makers are happy when it hails, but that doesn't mean we should be going around breaking windows.

No one is going around breaking windows to give window makers jobs

I can exchange pgp keys with someone and send encrypted messages back and forth. No amount of funding or resources will ever be able to expose those messages

You have no goddamn clue if this is correct or not. Your keys may be compromised, your computer might have spyware on it, your messaging client might be backdoored.

Minutes of the McMinn school board meeting that led to the book being banned show that while some parents said they supported the idea of teaching about the Holocaust, they had problems with some profanity in the book. They also had an issue with an image showing a nude woman, who is Spiegelman's mother. "We can teach them history and we can teach them graphic history," board member Mike Cochran said, according to minutes of the meeting. "We can tell them exactly what happened, but we don't need all the nakedness and all the other stuff."

Is this 1890?

This is just a bad setup.

Ship logs others places, clicking in the GUI outside of testing things out is a mistake, use Terraform or CDK or Cloudformation.

I've managed very large fleets of servers and its dead simple if you have a good setup.

I find people dont know how amazing a "immutable" server fleet is until you've experienced it.

It was so trivial to terminate and restart dozens of servers at any given time since unless there was a mistake in the cloud-init, we could bootstrap our entire infrastructure from scratch within an hour.

It was amazing, never had to deal with something missing on a server or a config being wrong in a special case. Dozens of hosts just purring along with 0 downtime since the moment anything became unhealthy, hosts would start auto-booting and terminate the old instance.

Such a useless article by itself, and shows lack of engineering experience in HN.

Lacking crucial details:

1) Inspection Data (When last inspection, any indications of stress fractures, etc etc)

2) Original Estimated Lifetime at expected loads

3) Real World Loading Data

4) Updated Estimated Lifetime Following Real World Loading data

It almost impossible to make any judgements about failure conditions without data. 'Bridge Failed" by itself is useless

Wow this is a POS study.

Study Group: 223,128 citizens of Itajaí considered for the study, a total of 159,561 subjects were included in the analysis

There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate (44 versus 99 hospitalizations among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively; RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.31-0.63; p < 0.0001).

Are you serious? This is such a shitty sample size you might as well be rolling dice.

Why do these studies assume people can't read

I dont think the proles were, since they were already in a state where they could not recognize they were under the Party's boot.

"The proles are free"

Newspeak was supposed to stamp out "bad" thoughts from members the party.

Orwellian oppression is very visible

1984 makes a fairly strong point that this is not true.

The proles do not conceive of the fact that they are oppressed. Only the outer party can even think this, and at best its a muted response. Newspeak is about making it impossible to see or conceptualize oppression or injustice.

i.e. the Russian Revolution was an intentional act done to it by cynical Germans who correctly expected the outcome would help them in the war.

Claiming that Germany caused the Russian Revolution via the sole act of sending him back to Russia is not true.

While it is true that Lenin ultimately led the Bolsheviks to power, the reason Germany even thought about sending Lenin back was that Russia was already on the brink of collapse due to reasons a mile long and Germany was throwing shit against the wall to hasten Russian collapse.

Claiming a revolution of an entire country was caused by a single person is a bit much.
