CICO. Put in the work and you'll see the results.

They don't want actual evidence. There plenty of videos of civilians being murdered, which I'm sure they'll say isn't evidence enough.

See, Human Rights Watch doing witness interviews and picture analysis is what I call evidence. Some video or picture somewhere on social media not so much. I've seen to many of those, from wars years ago in different parts of the world than the one the claim to be from, to actually believe any of those anymore.

These videos aren't from early-mid 2000s middle east where westerners can't tell the difference. They're clearly Ukranian cities and very high def videos (which didn't exist in past Soviet/European wars).

One thing you should really take away from this ongoing propaganda / information war is to never blindly trust what seems to be "evidence". Especially if that evidence is confirming your own biases and preferences. Because that willingness to believe information is what makes propaganda so powerfull.

You're right, it's peaceful in Ukraine, no civilians are dying. The Russian 'special military operarion' is going off without a hitch and civilians are welcoming their saviors. My mistake.

One more comment and I stop, because it's getting pointless. I never doubted that Ukrainian civilians are dying, why would I? Nor did I ever defend Putin's actions or the Russian invasion, because again, why would I? I do try to provide some context so. Because propaganda, even if it is for the right cause (whatever that is in general so) and at least partially true still is, well, propaganda. And I don't like propaganda. Ukraine is using information to great effect, and they have every right to do so, because they need and deserve every help they can get. I truly believe this. This doesn't mean so that I believe everything that is published, even from reliable and vetted sources, right now. Because the fog of war, even if it's not outright disinformation, is way to thick to actually judge information in a reliable manner.

What can be said is that war in general is ugly. So a lot of shit and war crimes are being committed and will continue to be committed. All the more reason for political leaders world wide to find a quick, peaceful solution to this mess. One that doesn't give any stretch of land to Russia.

As if parents are sitting around at home talking to their babies with masks on...

A lot of us have to utilize daycare where masking is mandatory. How this escaped you before making this comment is beyond me.

Nursery workers haven't worn masks while working for ages. I'm not sure they did even at the start of the pandemic.

As if parents are home all day with their babies and young children.

Ultimately when mentoring your job is to make sure the mentee is on the right path, not on your path.

We need to make sure there some creative leeway (within reason) when programming, this allow for growth and exploration of solutions. Not all implementations are perfect but your job as mentor is to guide.

The fact that there's water for people doesn't mean the drought doesn't affect the state. Drought causes large amounts of dead trees (of which California is covered in) these dead trees catch fire and burn cities down. Water isn't just a consumable for humans

Pumping excessive amounts of groundwater for agriculture lowers the water table and may be a bigger driver for tree die-off:

When you have multiple game running isn't the trick just to play the move your opponent plays from the previous board? Do in reality you're only playing one game and everyone else is playing each other.

Thats a good way to lose half your games

But you win half your games.

Only in cheap cons and fiction.

In real life, chess audience can immediately tell if you try that.

There's also the flip bucket traps which are pretty good. If you want to keep them alive you can otherwise you can put some water in it.

The assumption here is that the entire world uses western naming conventions, there are many cultures where people are given one or five names or whatever number, and western society (or our idea of what a name is) is forcing them to conform.

These are not always 'arbitrary naming whims'.

> there are many cultures where people are given one or five names or whatever number, and western society (or our idea of what a name is) is forcing them to conform.

And yet somehow those aren't the people we see complaining (and I'm speaking as someone whose name currently gets mangled because I have the "wrong" number of names).

This thing is riddled with typos.

There's also not really an evaluation section. So how can we conclude it is effective?

English isn't the author's first language, I doubt you'd do better in Bengali!

No problem with people who know more than one language (even without complete written fluency)… but why not have some third party editing/proof reading? Especially when submitting research to the NIH--which will live on in posterity.

Poorly written papers reduce the readers ability to focus on the content, however well researched.

This is kinda an absurd take. On one hand you have people saying 'hey if you want x congress should make it law, the courts can't do anything about it.' but you're saying 'if Congress passes a law it won't work and only the courts can do something about x' it can't be both...

> but you're saying 'if Congress passes a law it won't work and only the courts can do something about x'

That isn't at all what they were saying.

They were saying that instead of Congress trying to make rules through the legislative process (which moves to slow to work), Congress needs to create and authorize a federal agency to make these rules (like the FAA or FCC.) The portion about the supreme court is regarding whether such an agency would be deemed constitutional.

IMO the people with said power and responsibility just want to finger point. But what do you do when no one is willing to put on the pants?
