1. The situation being bad for Russia does not imply it is good for Ukraine. This late in the match, they're both pretty beat up. 2. Most of the ceasefire talk is posturing to conv…

Survivorship bias. The only US made goods left are those that can compete with foreign production. You cannot use those remaining as evidence that all goods could be US made withou…

This is correct. Turning a catastrophic loss into something that maybe kinda looks like a victory has been a propaganda coup for Russia. That's done in this case by inflicting disp…

Things like this just indicate the sanctions can be leaky, but not that they are not working at all. The best indication that sanctions are working is how badly Russia wants them r…

This bit of misinformation isn't sticking. Try something different.

Yes. I really good scientific explanation of this that confirms the anecdotal findings is discussed here [1]( https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/X5RyaEDHNq5qutSHK/anti-socia... ) The …

If he were tried in the USA, the trail wouldn't need to be unfair to convict. What he did was clearly illegal. If it should be illegal is the debate.

HN is a news aggregation site, which means what people find interesting gets posted, not every fact. An escalation of the war is a whole lot more interesting than the discovery tha…

I just started "The Science of Engergy" by Michael Wysession for the same reason.

We're paused right now since we're prepping for a funding round. However, have you checked out the Clojurians slack? They have a #jobs channel which is pretty good.

I learned by reading through a book, then working through problems on https://4clojure.oxal.org/ . If you've got JS experience it won't take too much effort to pick up. Don't get t…

2 years ago I was hired into a Clojure based start-up with no experience in Clojure. It is easy to learn, and I love it now. One of my duties is hiring, and we don't look for devel…

This claim sounds vaguely familiar...

This was a surface vessel discovered off of the coast of Crimea. This attack would be more likely done by a submersible, and is in the Baltic Sea. Unlikely to be related.

Why do people keep throwing out John Meersheimer like we've never heard of him before. We're 6 months into this thing and we've read him by now. We just think he's wrong. Is he sti…
