I won't respond to stupid questions along the lines of "how is this relevant", Which is a pretty strong indication that it most likely isn't.

You can go to youtube and search for "prof.Mearsheimer about history of Ukraine conflict" or something like this. This guy is a USA professor that specializes in international relations. He was warning for years that USA course of actions will result in Russia Ukraine war. And he has multiple videos explaining in details the history and how step by step we ended with this war, what could've been done to prevent it, a…

One could, but Mearsheimer is a crank, and Youtube is notoriously full of disinformation of all sorts.

So most of USA and other NATO countries citizens are totally unaware of it.

They're perfectly aware of it, because the Russian narrative has been echoed and propagated incessantly by left- and right-wing news outlets and social media commenters ever since 2014.

> Russia was fine with Ukraine as a sovereign state. More of it, due to current geopolitical shift, Russia is even more interested in Ukraine being a sovereign state, a buffer between Russia and NATO. This is a lie. Russia is trying to eradicate the Ukrainian culture. It failed with corruption and tried with military muscle during the invasion. This also failed. So now they try to freeze people to death, kill civilia…

>Russia is trying to eradicate the Ukrainian culture. You're lying yourself. It's Russian culture that's getting eradicated in Ukraine by renaming cities, streets, destroying monuments, burning books, prohibiting Russian language usage which is mother tongue for majority of population of Ukraine etc. In Russia nothing like this happens. Ukrainian language is being taught in schools that has significant Ukrainian popu…

Refugees?

I think that getting through a russian concentration camp will make people do anything and say anything to save themselves and their children.

There is no prohibition against speaking Ukrainian. I think you should learn about why people reject your culture while speaking the same language as you. This is somewhat amusing to me. That you can speak a language while rejecting the culture that comes with the language.

About smashing Russian monuments and renaming streets?

This is happening all over the previous Russian sphere of influence. People don't want you there. Let the people decide their own fate instead of invading them and telling them what to think.

Do you think there might have been an opportunity during the 90-x to find a different ("Пеpемен, мы ждём пеpемен") attraction basin? (as it is, at least the Yeltsin jokes can, like Brezhnev jokes, be repurposed for US use 2025-2028...)

Slightly ot or maybe not, the educational inflection point was deep in the mid of the Cultural Revolution, which suggests that mass rustications are indeed situations to look into..

You are very sure that your sources aren't lying to you. If you are interested in going down a rabbit hole, here's a good starting point. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/nato-75-russia-progr... The year is 1997, but the conflict started much earlier than that, during the fall of the Soviet Union. For all the brainwashed and self-righteous: feel free to hit the downvote button.

No, it is not.

Minimes as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvUPGLwebAI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Minims#Paulaner_brewe... )? I'd originally thought ca 1789 but found nothing

There ought to be a way to cross Gogol's Dead Souls with Pauli–Villars ghosts, but both my po*-russki-fu and my unitarity-fu are too weak.

(unitarity keeps things group-like; semigroups/monoids have an "arrow" in that they make irreversible transitions between J-classes; could it be easier to generalise to the latter than to add ghosts?)

* TIL the waste material from copra harvests gets sold for hydroponic use. Is the appearance of the 水耕龍 an auspicious portent for grow rooms?

EDIT: two important differences education-wise here: (a) kids can signal reasonable intelligence and high conscientiousness through vocational school (although a son of my former landlords started on this route, then swapped to the university track after encouragement by his coworkers), and (b) it's way more difficult to set up a degree mill, because kids have to test into becoming eligible for university and the resulting support.

(Upon reflection: I had a career advantage due to my sheepskin's branding being high intelligence, meh conscientiousness, and low conformity; somehow here I am at the other end of my career still faithfully signalling those same weights on HN)

I should pay more attention to the credits. There's a lot of soft-power country-checking in RU clips, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps_Kqeo_tvU#t=180s , or the entire Masha i Medved series, in which it's pretty easy to guess who the panda, tiger, etc. refer to (although the "asiatic" black bear is a little indirect). At this point I've collected BR, IN, & CN refs, just missing ZA. (or maybe I've just missed it, because my Boer-fu is also nonexistent)

EDIT: and I have to give props to HONK FU! The hand-drawn motion blur is a nice touch; who has the time for that these days?

are these triangles determinate, or is there a search process involved?

(maybe I ought to be looking for "ghost faces" that'd simplify my existing edge & vertex model of computation?)
