Sweden has no land border with Russia, though.
What systems can be put in place so that unpopular legislation like this isn't snuck into unrelated bills? You'd need something like a rolling referendum on all suggested law changes that were up for a direct democratic vote, but direct democracy would probably just lead to a lot more politics fatigue.
I blame this on reaction-ism... We don't need a law for every little thing that happens. Non-violent offenders should _never_ face jail time.
There should be a political union of liberal democratic countries that favors trade deals and military alliances with one another - there's not a great counter against the slow rise of authoritarianism abroad. A less US centered axis centered around the G7 could be a good start, though developing democracies should certainly get a seat at the table and be rewarded for protecting democratic values.
While you aren't wrong in some respects, Turkey is purchasing Russian military hardware and hooking it up to their network of existing US military hardware. The US is deeply unhappy about this for obvious reasons.
there are £400~£600 mirrorless cameras that would be overkill for most people... to notice any difference you'd need pro-level lighting, and a fantastic internet connection - and then you can justify the high-end 4-digit $$$ camera

I can see the argument that the market for mid-range webcams must be pretty small, as the ~$100 range is ok for most people
Yes, but that 10 years was right out of my second grad degree and I had no savings (and a little debt). There's no way I was jumping right into buying a house/condo even if I wanted to, which I didn't. And housing was fairly flat where I was living at the time. I also just wouldn't have wanted the effort associated with a house at the time.
Narrator: Everyone wasn’t ready.
But that's not (Orwellian) newspeak at all, is it? That term carries some very strong negative connotations.
HTTP Archive’s annual state of the web report
There are always trade offs in life... so you want to be wealthy and have status at the expense of other things? That CAN be the right answer for some people and they will find meaning in that. It is totally fine to pursue that if your heart tells you that is meaningful. Just make sure your hard work actually moves you towards that goal (working for a paycheck versus working to increase the value of equity in something, for example)

But, it is totally fine if you personally prefer to have a quiet family life and spend as much time as you can with your children. If that is what your heart tells you is meaningful - set your life up that way.

It’s a personal decision always. Neither is right or wrong. People are different. It’s ok to find something meaningful that others don’t value the same way.
Unit Testing vs. Integration Testing
The US should probably move the Turkush nukes to Greece, since moving them to Romania and/or Poland would piss off Russia and mark the beginning of the next cold war. These countries are much more reliable partners than Turkey. Moving them to insular Greece (if the Greeks accept them of course) would also send a very clear message to Edrogan.

It is grotesque. But it is the way of things on Earth; it is a massive recycling system that's been churning over the same molecules since the Earth was formed. It's actually extraordinarily rare for an organism to develop that produces any long-lasting waste, as eventually Earth gets around to burning it up, grinding it up, tilling it under, ripping its molecules apart, and otherwise reusing it.

The biosphere has always taken care of our bio waste. No we are experiencing what happens when you dump non recyclables into the recyling!
Turkey is actually the cold war relic, not NATO. They were mostly added for geopolitical reasons. The US wanted control of the Bosphorus, and that meant all sorts of concessions to Turkey. They were also more secular and more aligned with "Western values" back then. Today, Turkey is a very different country and with the AKP party, it's questionable how much they align with the West, both ideologically and politically.

NATO was and still is a liberal democratic Western nations military alliance about standardizing military doctrine and protocol. If not NATO, something like it needs to exist as a bulwark against Russia and China.
Technically correct! Still, I’m not entirely sure a prototype desk phone that never shipped and a couple of promotional Think Different-branded quartz watches offered much in the way of relevant experience for getting into the smartphone and wearable markets.
Camo (https://reincubate.com/camo/) has been absolutely fantastic. I wanted to use my iPhone Xs when on calls and not have to fiddle with with plugging it in every time I needed a video, so I ended up using an old iPhone 6 and it still destroys every webcam. $40/year isn't the cheapest but it works so much better than EpocCam (which I had been using before).
Defer to the other replies pointing out this is against services and not individuals, but I think "the populace wishes for free content, government please make it so" is fairly naive. It requires money to produce good content, and the government protecting property rights (yes for corporations, but who pay salaries and yes stockholders) is actually doing what the majority of the populace effectively wants.

I don't really buy it. It's not just about having food and shelter, wealth inequality affects culture, social issues, the collective psyche, etc.

Also you're going back really far there with a salary..what's the logical conclusion? The minimum standard of living should be based on society hundreds of years ago?
Freelance videographer and cam-op here. Your Arri experience is skewing your perspective. Any recent highly regarded DSLR will be significantly better in low light, intelligently apply both sharpening and noise reduction, and do so with auto focus in a package that weighs less than your Zeiss Prime. I AC for an Alexa Mini LF shooter, and it's interested to see just how far divergent evolution has got in this regard. I wouldn't want to shoot a movie on a DSLR - but they (and of course cell phone camera & smart processing) are significantly better for many applications that the best cinema cameras in the world. Speaking to the original article - you'll absolutely smash standard laptop, or webcam quality, evening in god awful lighting conditions on say a GH5 or A7siii .
Shared interests have little to do with whether countries share the same type of political regime.

Russia and, certainly, China, would still be 'adversaries' if they became liberal democracies because that would not change the geopolitics, diverging interests, and views.

Likewise for Turkey. The key is that it is currently pursuing a policy of assertiveness as a regional power that clashes with the interests of other NATO members.
Excellent sources, thank you.
Maybe it's the things you learn along the way, such as:

- Recursion and induction (mergesort, quicksort)
- Lower bounds on running time (O(n log n))
- Data structures (heaps in the context of heapsort, binary search trees in the context of treesort, tries in the context of radix sort, etc.)
- Difference between worst case and average case (quicksort)
- The role of the hidden coefficient in O notation (insertion sort is fast for small n even though its running time is O(n^2))

Etc.
Because you need someone to legislate, and direct democracy isn't sustainable if you want to represent _most_ people.
I'm not sure you can't, but you might be looking in the wrong market space. There's an entire industry of "machine vision" that has very high end video cameras and lenses. And then there's even a step beyond that level, to "scientific" imaging components. You can choose your interface: USB, firewire, etc. Many of these cameras come with API's so you can write your own software for them.
You do know that people are not required to take hormones to be considered transgender right?

I 'cheated' on all my Air Force tests, D: all of the above and whatever answer that was longest. Like you could just skim the answers and select the longest one and move onto the next one without reading the question. What a horrible way to teach someone.
Maybe the cause is wealth inequality: The person in question doesn't have the money needed to implement his plan. Some people have the millions or hundreds of millions of dollars needed to do something like this, but they spend it on very dumb stuff. If more wealth was redistributed, then he could take this risk.

Instead we have clueless VCs investing their money and founders spending excessive time convincing VCs and risking their money. There's no more skin in the game.
That's like Russia placing rockets in Cuba.

I bought a DSLR with the plan of using it as a webcam most of the time. It's worked out well, but I am sick of the zoom wave, cant wait till it dies down.
> they can be learned in different ways.

But that's not what you're saying. Your comments suggests that a college education is necessary to learn these skills; That removing student loans would somehow decrease work ethic.

The irony of the West Point cheating scandal coming out that denies that even the most prestigious college that focuses on values fails to instill values disproves your suggestion very strongly.
putting american bases in your country is already capitulation. you can never kick them out. they will be there 50 years from now when who knows how US will act towards Sweden. see Turkey's case. not to mention that Sweden's defense industry will likely collapse since they will be forced to buy NATO equipment; goodbye Gripen. high price to pay for preempting a hypothetical attack from Russia.
Ask HN: Impact of On-Die Memory on Traditional Memory Industry?
The computer memory industry is famously brutal, resulting in the current oligopoly between Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. With the news that Apple's M1 chip uses on-die memory that is part of the chip itself, and seeing how amazing the performance of this can be, it stands to reason that other ARM based chips (such as the Ampere Altra and other server-focused chips) might eventually follow. Does this make the traditional memory companies secular losers over the long term (at least in memory-- they also make NAND and other chips)? If so, how long will this transition take?

The Russian strategy of low-grade asymmetric conflict with strategic assets like nuclear weapons and a real air force to deter any serious consequences works remarkably well.
Low intensity tactics can't be used in high intensity warfare.

If Russian green men cross into Poland, Poland is not responding with low intensity. They mobilize the whole country to fight to fight high intensity warfare until Russians are thrown out.
> The neutrality of this article is disputed.

Yeah, no shit. I don't care if the whole world think the earth is flat, it doesn't make it so. Of course they are taking a stance just like the people who wrote that worthless Wikipedia entry.

Politico is so obviously biased and if you deny it you are most likely taking part in that bias which makes you unable to even comprehend it.
Yeah one of the more intense but also kind of nonchalant posts I've seen in a long time.
I'm really frustrated with the enormous field of view of most webcams. Many are 90+ degrees. My old 2012 Logitech C310 is 60 degrees. I want to show myself in the view, not my entire room/house. I finally found a cheap AUSDOM AW635 which is 60 degrees on eBay. Image quality is acceptable for $20 and its manual focus which took a moment to dial in but is ncie since the focus doesn't jump around during a call.

I'd buy a higher end webcam if they had adjustable FOV (without software, since the software doesn't work across all OS/programs).
See...now, that's the hard part. Not getting caught. It's easy to do lots of shady things, not getting caught doing them is where it gets tricky.
A job market with a lot of interesting opportunities, but 1 hour outside of a major city, and your career will be secondary to...a job market with lots of interesting opportunities?

These all seem weirdly incongruent/confusing/confused. And probably impossible.

But happy to be wrong.

Maybe i'm just triggered because I love LA and hate it less than most other cities.

And the sunk cost fallacy is mostly false -- i've never actually seen a useful example of it that is academically rigorous -- even after looking at Dan Ariely's examples.
Fair enough, although I wonder how big this niche is compared to people using IDEs or various editing software from powerpoint to photoshop, or even just playing games (or using that browser for smth like metrics dashboards that require more space, for that matter).

In any case, being about to use a browser and a terminal hardly qualifies as "solving" laptop form factor much more than just being able to use a browser IMHO.
Any other similar tools?
I have huge respect for employers who've let their staff have this week off (and even through new years). It's great for morale and retention. Plus, it's just the right thing to do.
Perhaps because there is entire political dance at play here where you toe the agenda lines of your whip in exchange for future political support?
Yeah, god, DRM. Sometimes I'll buy an ebook to support the author and then pirate it anyway just so I can have a proper DRM-free version that will run on my ebook reader.

In a way, it is. It's the perfect embodiment of "careful what you wish for", which is referencing people's inability to anticipate unintended consequences. Every HN post about Patreon or Youtube banning somebody leads to lengthy treatises about free speech.

Well, here's Voat. All free speech, all the time. What's that, bigots have taken over the platform and chased out all the non-bigots? Who could have seen this coming?
“Ironic nazis” aren’t a thing, they’re just nazis. The original nazis used “irony” and “edgelord” recruiting tactics in the same way that the modern neo-nazi does, with the same intents and purposes. There’s no difference in the tactics, just like there’s no difference in the contingent of concerned free-speech absolutists convinced that we need to listen to their “jokes” and take them in stride as they advance their radicalization campaigns. The “irony” is important, because it allows their recruits to performatively voice their hatred in a safe manner, much like a child riding a bike with training wheels. The goal of radicalization is to move them away from the irony, but keep the hatred.

It could also kill streaming DJs and the services that support them.

If I play a DJ set over Twitch it could be argued that I'm doing it for profit because it's a form of self-promotion.

It also means that anyone who receives a DMCA take-down suit on YouTube can be accused of illicit streaming - which puts a lot of compilation creators into a legal grey area. Not to mention creators of original music who are on the wrong end of an illicit rights grab.

While the intent may be go to after pirate streaming, the reality is that aggressive lawyers can easily broaden the scope.
The key problem is essentially the Hastert rule and its infection of the Senate. Legislation is only considered by leadership, who only concern themselves with counting beans.
Having capital is power though, so by that logic, having capitalists in a free market causes market failures
Since you're a lawyer, please clarify for me one part so that I can understand. The paragraphs are presented as:

1 - condition 1;

2 - condition 2; or

3 - condition 3.

Does this mean that condition 1 should be applied all the time (1 and 2 _or_ 1 and 3) or (1 or 2 or 3) in order to be liable?
> In comparison to these issues, worrying about microplastics is fucking meaningless. If you had 10 trillion dollars and wanted to increase the chances of humans becoming extinct, what would you spend it on, seriously? Who gives a fuck if we're breathing in toxic fumes all day or the planet is so hot we can barely walk outside?

Oh, I get it. Right, because there is one type of pollution and climate change due to massive amounts of CO2 waste, we shouldn't focus on plastic waste.

The planet is choking our on waste products because people keep arguing about what our top priority should be. Uh, how about addressing all of these massive problems we created? But we won't. Because replace "microplastics" with another topic and grab another internet troll off the shelf to argue we definitely don't need to worry about that one; rinse and repeat until we are completely paralyzed, incapable of any action whatsoever. Meanwhile, profit!
>This affects platforms, not users. Illegal streaming will not be a felony. Creating a for-profit platform with intent to do illegal streaming will be.

That is already a crime. It's called Commercial copyright infringement and comes with rather extreme. This is even in international law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agre...

My read of this proposed bill is that it's not misleading. Illegal streaming by users becoming a felony. No different than what SOPA was proposing. Willful infringement becoming a felony is their goal and they will achieve it.
Here's one off the top of my head:

Serving web pages. A single Raspberry Pi 4 can manage 943 Mbit on its Gigabit port.

You might be able to buy (expensive) 40 Gigabit network adapters for the two TB4 ports of the Mac Mini. You'd still be slower.

I'm glad more mainstream journalists are raising the alarm about Assange's extradition, especially the ones that dislike him. No matter one's personal opinions on him, the fact that he's now waiting for a decision that might send him to an American prison for 175 years is a despicable act of the US judicial and diplomatic apparatus.
I bought a 43" 4K monitor a year ago. I was thinking about buying a whiteboard when I it occurred to me I was sitting in front of a large flat board all day. I took a screenshot, opened up Paint, filled it with a pleasing solid color, made some notes in Paint on it. Drew some boxes and bubbles and a few connecting lines, and made it my desktop background. I keep the screen open in paint so I can easily drag things around and save it again as my desktop background. Every few days I save the current screen in a folder, date it and start a new one, so I have a record of my thoughts. It's so simple that I not only do I actively use it, I enjoy using it and it's been amazingly helpful for organizing my thoughts and staying on track. I'm already looking at it all day. I paste some art on it to beautify it up.

Edit: I found out later conservative historian Niall Ferguson does this with PowerPoint. I tried PP. I like my system better because there's no structure to it. Good for brainstorming.
The reason this doesn't happen, is because there are not a lot of free speech loving nations out there. You going to exclude Germany, and have them align with China instead? It doesn't make much sense at the geopolitical scale. (I know that some would even say there are no nations who believe in free speech. It's just that the subjects that cause police and military in each nation to clamp down on speech are different depending on the society.) The lines are just very difficult to draw. If you exclude Germany on principle, would other EU nations still cooperate with you? It just gets messy.
I could buy a refurb or used Olympus E-M5 mark ii on ebay for $250, then pick up a lens and be in business.
> For example, Turkey is engaging in all kinds of activities that don't seem to match the goals of values of most NATO members

All other NATO members are engaging in all kinds of activities that don't seem to match the goals of values of NATO

And on top of that, NATO cannot hold Greece, Eastern European members, and France from backstabbing Turkey, when Turkey is effectively Europe's only policeman in the mediterranean
Gartner probes strengths and weaknesses of top players in cloud databases
There is immense value in disrupting and supplanting the global monetary hegemony. Credit card Payment processing amounts to a 3% tax on a majority of transactions. These companies also are increasingly imposing moral judgements on who should be allowed to transact. With little recourse available to the affected. (The blacklisting of Patreon alternative New project 2, and pornhub) are examples of this. Liberating payments online to the same level we have with exchanging cash is definitely desirable.

In general, crypto technology is valuable for it's ability to replace capricious monopolies with distributed implementations built on federated protocols run like a constitutional democracy.

We can of course expect established monopolies and governments to retaliate in every way possible in an attempt to maintain power.
I still maintain that if the government truly wanted to regulate cryptocurrency they would go after average citizens and add onerous reporting requirements. Even with decentralized exchanges, the government can still find a way to clamp down on citizens using cryptocurrency. Sure, it would be impossible to prevent someone from using a decentralized exchange, but would you personally risk being prosecuted for doing so?

It's still using the same old stack, just containerized. For example, you're no longer manually editing nginx conf, but instead writing the config as yaml annotation to tell the nginx ingress what to do. Instead of editing wp-config.php when deploying wordpress, you specify the db config as environmental variables in yaml file, etc.
One mistake many of us make (myself included) is making career choices based on money.

Looking back, many of the jobs I took were just for the big pay increase. But unsurprisingly, I wasn't happier. Worse, it became harder and harder to leave a job (or leave this IT career) because the idea of financial setback was bigger with each job.

By no means am I rich. In fact, other life things erased my financial gains; so I'm left with less time in my life and few achievements or memories (work related) worth remembering.

And while family and children are some of the best things in life, they also tend to be in conflict with hard career work and success. Some people pull it off, but most of us don't.

My advice is to try to recognize when one's career is no longer fulfilling; save a little money along the way, and pivot hard in search of work/life satisfaction even if it means a big downgrade in income. And start a family ideally after you have explored the world and some of your dreams.
