It is just hard for me to believe the Russian economy can collapse in 2022 without causing a global financial contagion. We are probably already beyond the 1998 Russian financial crisis and that was in a far less interconnected global econo

Gazprom is down 50% in London https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/OGZD/pjsc-gazprom/... Ruble chart is just incredible with rates hiked to 20% in one day. https://www.tradingview.com/sy

I really think you underestimate what we just did to their financial system. Everyone's savings have been destroyed and they had to hike rates to 20%. Russia didn't even open the stock market for trading so that is just going to m

We have known this for so long now. The problem is that is not the answer people want. People want the holy grail, literally. Eat pizza, drink beer while sitting playing video games and take a magic pill that makes you young again.

I love listening to him but the problem is I know calorie restriction and time restricted eating is smart but I love good food more. People don't just want to live longer. They want to basically do absolutely nothing different than wha

IMO there is no solution that is so much better than MIDI CC to give up the backward compatibility and universality of MIDI.

The whole idea is so absurd. The longest stay in space currently is 14 months and Mars is nearly two years away. Going to Mars is just a super charging station for Musk's narcissistic supply.

Looking at the chart of USD RUB this is going to have massive consequences. IMO we have probably just got rid of Putin and brought back Russian Communism. Then you will have a Communist block with China that instantly has nuclear parity wit

To me, he does a great job of letting the ideas of the guest be the main focus. I don't want to hear him tell jokes or try to be a comedian.

Not Plasma? https://i0.wp.com/9to5linux.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/k... The idea of using Windows 95 instead of Plasma is just absurd to me. Windows 95 Explorer vs Dolphin? What?

There has to be so many questions in so many of the Russian boots on the grounds minds about this. That matters more IMO than what the military brass thinks.

This is a video game view of war though. As if the authoritarian has a video game controller that lets the video game characters do as the authoritarian pleases. This has nothing to do with the reality of the Russian military on the ground.

Generative music is absolutely nothing new either. I have listened to so much generative music the last 25 years and there was one piano piece that was really good and something that felt like a unique style. Not good enough though that I e

This is all nonsense. The division is because we haven't had anything to unite over since 9/11. The Iraq war was divisive. At this point it is half the country living in one media fantasy land and the other half living in differen

Totally agree. I even go with three. One work gave me, one for my own hard mental work and one for everything else. For me, I am just not going to play on my personal work computer after going through the trouble and space to set all this u

I don't think this is even the problem though. We have amazing physical modeling synths but the problem is it is not "playable" with a keyboard in the sense of being able to control all the needed variables. You basically nee

Honestly, I think if you had resources you would eventually run into someone who would use violence to take those resources and the last line in your post is exactly what would happen.

Totally agree. Nuclear war is something completely different. There is nothing to come back to. Resource scarcity would turn things violent really quickly for the survivors.

No idea what you are talking about. They jumped on electronic warfare as a new type of weapon. It costs practically nothing to get a huge effect if successful. If I was a country with limited resources compared to the US , electronic warfar

For sure. $100 dollar oil makes a ton of supply profitable. It just won't be here tomorrow though.

Yea of a 140 million people they all agree with Putin. 0% disagree with Putin and even if they did 0% would use Reddit to communicate with people outside of Russia. Come on.

Russia has a population of a 140 million people. It is utterly preposterous to believe not a single one uses Reddit AND doesn't agree with their government. Not to mention, where do you think those people would go? Maybe Reddit? Maybe

"The government has also proposed measures that would force companies to filter out "legal but harmful" material" This isn't government censorship though. It is just a private company that can choose to comply with

Sergey Brin was born in Moscow though so who is to say when it comes to war. I do agree though, this is most likely just the nature of the problem of trying to moderate such a massive amount of video content. Some will be caught in the net

I think we confuse though doing data science on historic data to spot these manipulative communities vs doing that same data science in near real time to have any real counter effect on it. I really doubt they could stop propaganda before t

I would question if you were alive at the time then because the world basically thought our evidence was bullshit to go into Iraq but we went in anyway and the evidence turned out to be bullshit.

I don't see the reason for not just doing this as Jupyter notebooks. I am child free but I just can't see not using Jupyter notebooks. If I had a kid we would learn jupyter after learning multiplication. 5*7 shift+enter variable =

We only have ourselves to blame for this. Of course there is an information attack on social media right now. The countries on Russia's side in all this are smart enough to see the value and ease in doing this while we are just oblivio

US Postal Service at this point is mostly paying people to deliver paper advertisements though. It has to be about 50 to 1 at this point in terms of the ratio of important mail I get compared to junk mail that goes straight in the garbage.

"We build these new platforms and technologies with privacy and safety baked in from the beginning" The lack of self awareness is just astounding.
