  1. No. It was 2001. In Slovenia.

  2. "I don't know what Trump would do." Nonsense. Lie. Shameful.

  3. @John Jones ; Yeah whatever, except it happened in 2001, not 2007, son. 🙄

  4. Parsing Trump's words as if they have any entropy at all. This is ridiculous.

  5. It's the 80s-90s all over again, except it's the Chinese athletes, instead of the (not banned enough!) Russian athletes.

  26. My son was showing me his new guns yesterday and we were talking about how the perception of plastic has changed so dramatically in my lifetime. For most of us in GenX+, the basic aesthetics of plastic used to send a strong signal, which was: "This is probably cheap, flimsy, crappy." Advances in material science have forced us to re-assess, re-organize. Carbon fiber helped us olds begin to change our priors not just because it was a truly tough material that shared that basic plastic aesthetic, but because (in the beginning, anyway), it also had a consistent SEPARATE aesthetic, with its texturing and trademark surface qualities. It used to be you'd hear the word "polymer" and just roll your eyes and think, "Yeah, plastic." Not so anymore. *EDIT: [Insert something about Glock] :-)

  31. Pro tip: The umlaut means the vowel sound should be followed by (incorporate, mushed with) a short E sound. The correct German pronunciation sounds almost exactly like the American standard English pronunciation of "loosen." When you see the umlaut, imagine the vowel with a hidden E crammed up next to it. Loesen. Kind of like how an eszett ( ß ) is just a glyph that replaces two esses ( SS ).

  32.  @Truthorfib  : Russia better figure out something quickly, or they're going to be sending a metric assload of free energy to Europe very soon. EDIT: And "sanctioning a country" can take all manner of forms, not just (in fact, rarely) killing their currency.

  39.  @cooldudecs  : Per NYT and others, Russia has caved, and will continue accepting Euros and USD.

  40.  @cooldudecs  : Again, where is the evidence that Germany, specifically, and the G7 more broadly, are not prepared to take this hit? Again, where is the evidence that Russia has the storage capacity to "turn off the taps" for any significant time before they have to cap well heads? Again, where is the evidence that Russia has the expertise or the infrastructure to get its fuel to any other customers anywhere else in the world? You speak from a place of passion and emotion. I appreciate that. But that is not reality, tovarisch.

  41.  @cooldudecs  : Show me some evidence that contradicts the reality were seeing right now (Germany openly and aggressively preparing to turn off the RU taps). I love to learn. Maybe I'm missing something? But I don't have any use for vague hand-waving hunches.

  61.  @MrScrofulous  : Sadly, the whole point is to NOT beat the Russians quickly and decisively. Rather, we're meant to essentially use Ukraine as a meat grinder to shred the Russian army and Putin's regime into abject disability. It's going to take a little while. We have to pace ourselves. This is NATO's literal stated goal. It's all very sad for Ukraine, and for all of us. But we will rebuild it.

For example, 90%+ of the homes in my small city (pop. 30k) have lawns that are watered naturally and never treated with fertilizer or pesticides. My neighbors are, for the most part, morons.

  101. No. At best, your memory is way off. xBase (dBase, FoxBase, etc.) systems did not have a "SQL database at their core." Opposite. dBase first had its own (very different!) language, and then with dBase IV came support for a lame SQL implementation and another "language" called QBE (Query by Example), and other stuff. I'm guessing you're an ex-Delphi or VB programmer who worked with dBase IV, probably via ODBC drivers, which gave you a SQL interface to xBase implementations (with varying degrees of reliability). Nah, man. I mean, sure man.

  202. The rest of the world (most of us) gave cash to consumers, emphasized consumption. China emphasized preserving production (yes, coupons and whatnot, but the point is the EMPHASIS). In hindsight, the mistake was assuming that the demand from overseas would return. Or, rather, betting on that outcome. They'll figure it out. I feel bad for the Chinese. Never mind the fact that they're dragging the rest of us down. We all need to work better together to coordinate on keeping the bread and circuses coming, regardless of ideology. Nuclear weapons? Pfffpth! Go pound sand. Yes, we still need treaties and FOR SURE we need non-proliferation efforts (in all of our interest, obviously), blah, blah, blah. More importantly---FAR more importantly---we need to coordinate these markets so that we don't end up with huge masses of angry proles. It doesn't seem like it would be rocket science, to solve that problem. But what do I know?

  361. It's about succession. The Ayatollah's son will now become president. Which will open the regime to popular criticism of hereditary rule and (ironically) strengthen the IRGC and weaken the mullahs and Khamenei. If anybody assassinated him, it was somebody who supports Mojtaba. (And "the president doesn't really have any power" is a facile take, as Raisi was being groomed specifically to become Khamenei's successor, never mind the brutality Raisi personally meted out over the years.)

  389. This idea that Germany is "in play" is not supported by any evidence, so much so that it seems irresponsible to me to represent it otherwise. Russia has to keep the energy flowing. They literally have no other choice, because of their shitty pipeline infrastructure and nearly nonexistent storage capacity. Russia isn't bluffing, no. The reality is more mundane. They've made a request, and it's been rejected. They'll keep pumping the gas, and they'll get a nice pile of Euros and USD in return, that they can visit whenever they want, as long as they don't actually use any of it. One day, when they get rid of Putin, and finally get their shit together, they can have all that money to help rebuild their wrecked economy. Post script: Even if the Russians are suicidal/stupid enough to cut off the gas, Germany is ready. Europe is ready. The rules-based world order is ready. Fuck Russia.

    1
  394.  @HR_8035_YEA  : It's not happening at all. The Russians are throttling supply so that the Europeans can't refill their reserve capacity. Zero to do with Russian storage capacity or having to cap wells.

  396.  @isldstormhawaii4084  : I'm not talking about obvious eventualities, I'm talking about the hubris of putting time-frames on them, and being disingenuous about the facts you use to support the time-frames. Fact is, the Russians not only have a shitload of storage capacity, but China is hooking up and sucking way more than---. At any rate, I mean no ill will. I'm glad to see so many citizens interested. I'm glad for Peter's role as a popularizer. But credibility is a BIG DEAL nowadays. More than it's ever been. Peter's on our side. Our side has to have standards.

I don't know what the future holds, but I hope we (and our governments) remember to easily and generously deploy our compassion to businesses affected by geostrategic policy.

  534. I just can't, in good faith, support the business model. $3/month for FW content is far less than the fair price I'd put on it for me, personally, honestly. It's extremely valuable. But anything over a fraction of a penny is just not sustainable. $3/month for every one of my favorite "content creators" would break most people, I think. If sum total wouldn't actually break you, financially, there's still the principle of the thing. Y'all (all y'all creators) have to figure out how to navigate this crazy new ecosystem. It's complicated. I know y'all specifically (Ian and Karl and others) have been on the vanguard on this subject, and I appreciate that. But, at the end of the day, the consumer is done. They're exhausted. They can't keep tacking on these micro-subscriptions again and again and again, on top of the macro-subscriptions, which continue to pile up. Another example of "great in theory; not-so-great in practice." But I have every confidence that y'all will figure it out, and emerge on the other side of this weird transition all the stronger. 👍👍👍

  793. Y'all, the point of this thing is the logistics (sourcing the components, manufacture, etc.), not that it's inherently any better than other RPG-7 tubes. Yes, it's just a tube, but it can be manufactured at scale either in the US or overseas with US-sourced engineering and tooling/parts design. Strategic. Smart thinking. We can only hope that it remains an oddity.

Screw these gangsters; I don't give a rat's ass which thug might or might not have done whatever to another thug. But I do enjoy the presentation of the footage. Seriously. It's enthralling.

  900. One of the things the American system gets right. From the jump, the judiciary came down on the liberal interpretation of "free speech," essentially ceding the matter to legislation, at the lowest level possible. You can damn near say anything. Which has encouraged in them (Americans) a keen sense for nonsense. I know that sounds counterintuitive (crazy, even), given current political and social circumstances, but they've been in worse straights domestically. And they've earned their allies.

My problem is that so much of their stuff---no matter how "obvious" it seems to us---isn't illogical. They aren't internally inconsistent. It's like, so often. I get what they're trying to accomplish, and I see how this or that solution seems appealing and perfectly reasonable. But the corruption, and the problem of succession. The fundamental problems of intrastate communication and trust. They are coming around to the understanding that, at this point in time, it's all about quality of life. And we, in West, know how to do this. We aren't a threat to you, China. We can work all this out. You need to step away from Russia, at the very least. Right now.

It was an epic nerd fight, but I remember at the time concluding that the fight wasn't about anything at all important or interesting. To me, anyway. Thanks. A lot of your videos are great nostalgia hits. I didn't get to Asia (Tokyo, mostly) until the early aughts. But I was in Europe a lot before that, and worked for and with a lot of companies that came out of Mountain View and Palo Alto and other places. Software. As I age further into the back-half of my century, it's fascinating to see history's consideration of my past environment. An experience that latter-middle-aged people surely experience far more intensely today than their forebears, because everything's moving so fast. Then again, everything's relative, I suppose. These brains are curiously flexible that way.

  999. This is poorly written. Putin's replacement could be (likely WILL be) a "Putin loyalist." See Roman Abramovich's recent adventures in diplomacy. The method of removal and the eventual successor are two distinct subjects. Related, but distinct.

  1088.  @MegaAssface  : His commentary at that point is specifically about the state of advanced wealthy democracies. The panel almost immediately pivots to the looming consequences of global inequality, health and wealth. So, what the fuck are you even talking about? Really chaps my ass, this constant forsaking of the forest for the trees. This willful self-righteousness that muddies and sullies and amounts to nothing but waste. So fucking sick of it.

Then you build your politics (your foreign policy, your diplomacy) on top of that foundational truth. Which doesn't necessarily mean condemning the Chinese, but it's taking both the high ground and (conveniently) the humane ground.

  1238. Putin betrayed Europe, and Putin needs to go, or else Europe will grind Russia into petro dust. Russia is dead until it gets new leadership. Russia betrayed Europe. It almost doesn't matter who the successor is, as long as there is one. Putin is a backward thug. We thought we could civilize him. We've learned a terrible lesson. I'm not so naive as to believe that semantics aren't important. Calling a spade a spade never comes without cost. Medvedev or Navalny or some other equally problematic Russian: who cares? Russia needs to figure out the succession problem, since Russia has (once again) failed to do it itself. It's our job to keep them bogged down in Ukraine until they do. Which is very sad. It makes my heart heavy.

  1270. "Misinformation coming from people who know better" isn't a new thing. What's new, I think, what is the thing that's actually "abhorrent" is the line that these people have crossed. First we sensed that line, before we could articulate much about it. We've gotten better, but we need to start defining that line more crisply and throwing down gates.

  1273.  @purcitron  : Tsk. You're still taking the contrarian position. COULD it have been extraterrestrials? Sure. Was it most likely UKR/POL? That's what the evidence suggests.
    1
  1274.  @purcitron  : I don't believe the public "has a right to know everything." Quite the contrary. So we're left to speculate. The most likely NS saboteurs are some combination of UKR/POL/ELL. No need to invoke Cortes analogy or otherwise attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole.
    1
  1275.  @purcitron  : Not sure what to tell you. 🤷 Far more plausible that UKR with the help of POL and maybe ELL blew the pipeline to limit GER/EUR calculus. That scenario is much more explanatory than any alternative I've heard. If West has evidence of RUS sabotage, why haven't they revealed it? Most likely they would. If West has evidence of UKR/POL sabotage, why wouldn't they reveal it? We can imagine several reasons the wouldn't; reasons that don't require any rhetorical gymnastics.

  1313. Yes, in hindsight, the West should have responded more forcefully to Putin's provocations. Those are past mistakes. We can argue endlessly about realism versus values versus dollars. But none of that matters right now, in this moment. Putin, with his NUKES, can't be permitted to behave this way. Period.

Most of y'all assume the major premise that success is best measured by fatality rates. Which is overly simplistic, if not outright naive. If Obama had been President, the messaging would have been clearer and more transparently science-based, for sure. One hundred percent. It would have been better , by most reasonable people's standards. Certainly by mine. But you fail to recognize (at least openly) the real challenges of population control at this scale, in this unique society.
