> Sanctions are certainly not what have kept Russia from invading Ukraine: Ukrainians with guns and tanks have done that.

The Russians have a ton more guns and tanks.

Like it or not, Russians don't invade Ukraine because of repercussions, and sanctions are part of that.

If we were back in 1940, the Russians would have taken over Ukraine long ago.

Conspiracy theory.
It's one thing to apply such a skill in your imagination, looking down from a godlike top-down POV. It's another to do it in real-time, under an actual deadline, while being accosted in the flesh by people trying to scare you.

Also, those weren't "new skills." She was a veteran nerd's nerd.
Be warned that Google does NOT push updates to these Android One phones, the OEM does, so they take their time and (potentially can) include as many crap apps as they want.

Xiaomi puts a lot of crapware in their Android One mobiles. They have their own line of apps, "Mi", and they include many of them pre-installed by default.
> But the idea that your wife or husband contributes half of your work is not something I agree with.

How do you know what would have been accomplished without that person's spouse managing the home? What if Jeff Bezos couldn't devote nearly as much time to Amazon if he had to take kids to appointments or be there when a contractor was at the house? And what if those diversions caused Amazon to be a flop? I would say that those contributions which were key to the success of the company absolutely do entitle you to 50%.

Now, I do think there's a legal argument to be made if that is clearly not the case, but a healthy person should have cut ties in that type of relationship before wealth was developed anyway. Presumably staying in the relationship after 25 years and after the accumulation of so much wealth meant that both parties were fine with an equal division of the assets.
I don't know where you went, but where I took my degree, the only mention of Austrian economics was a brief mention of Hayek and Mises in a history of economics thought course.
I am specifically saying the US government has been more and less corrupt in the past.

It’s not about people at the top responding differently it’s about the flow of influence. If 20% of the people at the bottom behave poorly the other people at the bottom have little influence. That changes at the top as it’s easyer to monitor a small group of people and their actions are more documented.

Ex: A cashier can fail to scan items for their friends at checkout and without any form of paper trail. The CFO can do more harm, but it’s harder for them to act in secret.

You appear to have missed my point: different people evaluate "the situation with cars on roadtrips" differently, and this Bloomberg reporter is one data point. The person I replied to appears to be over-interpreting one data point, and brand loyalty points to a different average opinion.

If you're attempting to make the point that this one data point isn't even that bad, that's a fine point to make, but it's confusing how that relates to this sub-thread.

I'm pretty sure that this "free" Mandarin comes with a pretty thick string attached.
I had a similar thing happen. The CTO of a company was using a library I wrote, and he ran into things he wanted to change. When I disagreed, I was accused of sabotaging my own library, by refusing to fix it's obviously broken aspects. Guy went on a smear campaign on hn, Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia. Literally made me miserable for weeks.

I wrote about it, more here if you're curious:

I agree that some perspective is required here, but it is pretty amazing how terrible it is.

Like, we've been to the moon, have stuff like google to search through tons of information without leaving the bathroom, and people are trying to convince me we'll soon have useful quantum computers and autonomous vehicles, but it still takes me 3 hours to book a checkup with a doctor, and the soonest they can see me is 3 months from now. Then there's the billing system, which seems to have been devised to fill the maximum number of people's rice bowls. To say nothing of what happens to the uninsured. It's nuts.
Nor can competition see into their competitors pipeline. This is why investments are a bet just like rolling dice in Vegas. A person has to decide their level of risk tolerance which depends on generally where they are at in life (how far/close to retirement) along with unique attributes of their own current financial situation (how much/little debt, how many/few dependencies, how they want to live their life).

The shifting preference patterns around cheese type are very tangible. In my own case, my kids have never had the kind of individually plastic-wrapped processed orange cheese slices that I grew up with. No Velveeta style either (unless it was on nachos at a fair).

And we mostly buy domestic cheeses, of which there are many suppliers who make higher quality varieties. Tillamook, Cabot come to mind, and one of my favorites, Milton Creamery's Prairie Breeze Cheddar.

Apart from these cheeses being objectively tastier than the cheese of my childhood, the power of social trends is strong, and people across the country have taken on to the "whole" foods trope in the past several years, no doubt urged along by the influence of celebrity chefs and new cuisines that have entered the US via immigration.

Interest in higher quality food is one of things that, despite polarization in other spheres, has become fairly consistent between the coasts and the middle of the country.
No, I'm not saying that. But have you read the articles? They don't exactly seem like excellent journalism to me.

How to test your gem locally
I built a system which also functions as a kind of search engine.

I too built an application for HN: https://hnprofile.com/

If you're interested, I'd be happy to discuss it as what I focused on was ranking content (not indexing exactly). Might be some interesting synergy. They system requires a fraction of the data of a regular search engine and is often more effective.
Free market != Austrian economics. Also, the means by which virtual currencies are produced is controlled. And currencies/monetary policy is well within the realm of mainstream economics.

Austrians eschew almost all quantitative methods, all study of alt-coins is done within the framework of mainstream economics.
This is why I added the daughters and princesses aside. The people of Hong Kong are not going to use Chan's example to try to be Jackie Chan. That's not the point. They're going to look carefully at their hero and decide that certain traits of his, like extreme courage and willingness to be brave, and choose to adopt them, just like a child does with their heroes.

If you or I went over to Hong Kong, and told them to work hard and they'll succeed, then get in my private jet and fly back to the US, they'd just roll their eyes. But Jackie Chan is one of them. He understands the culture and the challenges. All famous people do for their audiences.
1) One could feasibly wire to nearby power/ground, although that would certainly be more obvious. The clock for this is ~17 MHz (I believe), so one can certainly achieve 'good enough' with a microcontroller's internal clock.

2) While that is an obvious countermeasure, it's one nobody is currently taking (judging by the large block of 1's in the SPI flash chip he read from the server).

3) You're thinking of a protocol like I2C, not SPI. For SPI it's 1 input driving 1 output, and nothing is bi-directional, so a microcontroller or FPGA interposing itself on a data line can definitely modify the state (or pass it through unchanged) as it pleases.

<edit>
It's worth pointing out that, given that the contents of the flash get predictably read out at boot time, you could probably let the device 'train' to calibrate it's internal (poor) clock and any software-based adjustments to its timing guesses over multiple boot cycles. Especially if you have access to identical hardware for initial lab testing.
iPhones now let you uninstall almost all of those. I know Safari and the App Store are two of the rare exceptions.
The things my wife (the cook in our family; I clean the dishes afterwards) would want basically:
- an easier way to add items to the shopping list while in the midst of cooking (i.e. not having to find or touch her smartphone when her hands are wet or flour-covered)
- an easier way to watch Dr. Who (or whatever) while cooking
- a refrigerator with lazy-susan style rotating shelves so that nothing gets lost in the back

None of these are unaddressed here. I guess I won't be getting the kitchen of the future any time soon.

I totally listen to reasonable people talking about reasonable things. However, I would never use the reason that somebody is a billionaire to pay more attention.

Let me give you examples.

Elon Musk in Windows (I disagree with him, even in 2000, Linux kernel version 2.2.12-20, RedHat version 6.1 --old versioning--)

"In the year of 2000, Windows is considered much better than good old Unix platform. Musk wanted to move all technologies from UNIX to Windows platform. But, Unix zealots like Max Levchian (Co-founder of Confinity[1]) and his team disagreed with Elon. A holy war started, and Elon Musk lost the battle. The board fired Elon in October 2000, and appointed Peter Thiel as new CEO. Elon officially left the company's day to day operations by 2001, though he stayed on in an advisory role and as the largest shareholder."

Jeff Bezos Mandate, internal APIs (I agree with him 80% of his points, not because he is billionaire but because his argument is reasonable for the size of company he was running at the time)

"
1) All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces.

2) Teams must communicate with each other through these interfaces.

3) There will be no other form of interprocess communication allowed: no direct linking, no direct reads of another team's data store, no shared-memory model, no back-doors whatsoever. The only communication allowed is via service interface calls over the network.

4) It doesn't matter what technology they use. HTTP, Corba, Pubsub, custom protocols -- doesn't matter. Bezos doesn't care.

5) All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions.
"

And so on. After working with many millionaires and billionaires I just realised that it does not matter what they say without a good argument, I have seen CEOs fired just like Elon Musk over decisions similar to move the company stack to Windows and I also have seen CEOs listening to staff and making an intelligent decision that moved the company forward. I definitely like to listen to people with reasonable arguments, especially if the things they are suggesting works.

Nature of the venture, probably. The head chef has the most skin in the game, if not all, so with great responsibility comes great power. Also the need to get things done quickly and decisively probably demands a more military structure, with care and feedback coming in the weekly catchup meal.
Professional photographers haven't had an easy time protecting their work in the digital/internet age. I'm guessing you don't believe their craft has any value that can't be easily replaced by a hoards of amateurs with digital image collection devices in their pockets and crowdsourced curation. Even then, you'd have to admit that people who were making a living at this thing and were forced to abandon it by changes in technology should be afforded some consideration.

Wow, your product is super cool! I was going to post this in an Ask HN but maybe you would like to share instead - what is it like to architect a crawler for social media sites?

With Twitter Music shutdown, I was looking back on their acquihire of WeAreHunted, a music ranking service which at its core was a crawler that indexed torrents/tumblr/soundcloud to find what's up and coming. As I was pondering this, I was thinking about how they would normalise the data.

My main question was, how much difficulty do you encounter indexing a social site? I can imagine Tumblr, Facebook, and other sites have a plurality of new content appearing at arbitrary intervals (posts, comments, etc) - and I don't imagine that there are RSS feeds to diff here. So how would it function?
Malta is also passing a large amount of cryptocurrency focused legislation. They and Liechtenstein want to be the blockchain capitals of Europe.
You can make your pocket RSS feed public and then write a python script to download all the urls returned by the data dump of the feed.

No, but I do what I can: resisted buying a house as long as possible and have zero debt apart from a mortgage that should be paid off in 2-3 years if all goes to plan, and enough in the bank to cover myself for at least a couple of years should things go tits up. And I'm earning nowhere near what I gather a lot of people on HN earn. I never fail to be amazed at how many people are quite happy to live showy lifestyles yet are in reality only 1 or 2 paychecks away from disaster.
Who, exactly, mentioned the "parasite class"? Not davvolun. Not kriro. Not the article. Who? The Ethics of Liberty?

You seem to be ascribing to davvolun or kriro positions that they did not take, by association with some other thing that you say is a dog whistle for something else. You then state that children starving is the implication of these statements... that the people you're arguing with didn't say and, by my reading, don't support.

Maybe you're yelling at the wrong people, for the wrong reasons?
If you want a technology to be widely adopted ("better" auth), and it relies on a niche technology (blockchain), then you need to write your README/elevator pitch/copy/docs in a way that doesn't assume the people using it are experts in the niche technology.

I'm not dumb, but I'm also not a crypto expert and have no desire to become one. I also know next to nothing about the blockchain and have no desire to learn because it's not my field. My day-to-day walking around knowledge is already packed with stuff related to my field and I just don't have the bandwidth to also become a blockchain expert just to roll something out. I suspect most people who would potentially be rolling out software that would use a blockchain-based auth library are in the same boat.

As it stands I have absolutely no idea how this thing works or why I would ever want to use it.
Yes, and in between the former and latter, there was also a short-lived attempt to simplify characters further [0]. It failed, perhaps because it was completely contrived, whereas the first simplification adopted many existing cursive/shorthand conventions of the time. Unofficial conventions are easier to adopt, and Japan's independent Kanji simplification scheme actually ended up with some of the same exact (simplified) characters (e.g. 與→与, 學→学, 國→国).

To this day, English is difficult for my parents, who have a hard time keeping gendered pronouns straight. But at least the irregularity of the numerical system isn't as weird as French.

The author wants to examine _why_ Chan drives himself, over and over, to the brink of life-threatening injuries, while we HN commenters - most of us anyway - do not. He fairly persuasively argues that it's a mix of extreme C-PTSD, childhood abandonment, economic destitution, and a near total lack of alternative opportunities.

Can that still be inspiring? To whom? To do what? These are the questions the author wants to ask. We can quibble over the answers. But either way, I find this type of critical perspective more intellectually provocative than taking Chan's plain-faced recollection for granted.
