And just like a real war innocent people are suffering the consequences.

There are no shortage of stories of small business owners that were kicked out of the banking system for dealing with so called "high risk activities" like the cannabis industry or cryptocurrencies and there are also no shortage of stories of rich criminals and politicians just getting away with whatever fucked up activity they do. Hell... they even put a literal criminal in charge of the ECB.
They could take out Putin if they wanted to and spread some rumor that it was a Russian dissident.
I think, showing the taxes separately is a very good idea in principle, so that you know how much tax you are paying. I usually hate the fact that I can not see how much tax I am paying, although, in Germany, the amount of tax is shown in the checkout pages.
Of course not. Instead he will suffer there approximately the same as other inmates, maybe a more, and will be excluded from coordinating anti-putin politicians in the rigged elections. Since russian political field is thoroughly cleaned up now, and Navalny was the only anti-putin figure left, this will achieve what kremlin wants - some noticeable decline in the anti-putin voting this year.

PS: I'm writing anti-putin because it is not clear that Navalny is actually going against the soviet system in general. For example he supported Crimea invasion, he supported Georgia invasion in 2008, he voluntarily invited russian terrorist Girkin a few years ago for the interview, and during that interview said that it is not a war crime to kill Ukrainian soldiers.
In Norway, there is a large import tax on foods like cheese and meat, to encourage buying locally. This seems to work, as most shops only sell Norwegian produce.
American history and culture is heavily influenced by the Protestants that made up the early US. The Protestant work ethic is a commonly referenced aspect of American culture, and most Americans regardless of religion are not free of its influence.
The amount of food that a country exports is orthogonal to its capacity for self-sufficiency. Your example of the Netherlands is a perfect illustration of this. In monetary terms it's a net exporter, but in caloric terms it's a net importer. The latter is a better metric for potential self-sufficiency, and by that measure, the Netherlands is actually the eighth least self-sufficient country in the world[1].

Yes, the UK could undoubtedly reconfigure its agricultural sector to become more self-sufficient. But even on a wartime footing, doing so would take several years. Meanwhile, the slack in food reserves is several weeks. It's that differential between weeks and years where there's the potential for malnutrition and starvation.

That would require the GPs comment to be false. RT and Sputnik are Russian government propaganda pieces. Anyone who denies that either lies to themselves or to others.

CNN and NYT may write/send things you don't like, but they are free from government interference.

(Also, the quality of CNN and NYT is far higher, but that's a different point)
If that happens and people don't get mad, it will be truly, truly sad.

Most people here are pro ownership. If you think everyone should own their data (they should), why wouldn't you think that everyone should also own their money?

Crypto might be a 'scam', but at least I get to own the risks. Giving up ownership means that my money is just used by bankers to invest in their own scams, and when they screw up, bail them out again.

You can't be pro data ownership and anti money ownership.
> tomorrow it can be whatever else high-demand product of the western world that is available in Americas

Would that be bad though? That's just the market at work. If crimes are being committed (such as stealing the to-be-resold goods, etc) then go after it but otherwise I see no problem with cartels reinventing themselves as somewhat-legitimate businesses.

Why oh why are streaming parsers not used?

It might indeed be a regional thing and I'm not saying that early cancelation is unheard of, but to me it wouldn't be an expectation. Anyway, just a few thoughts:

> In Australia it's quite common to have phone/power/gas/insurance plans that are 1/2 year contracts, but to cancel it you pay a small fee.

> - I have a 1 year contract with my energy provider, the cancel fee is ~$45 and I must give them 20 days notice.

Depending on how small the fee is it sounds as if this renders the concept of a half (or full) year contract worthless.

> My phone has a 24 month plan, to cancel I pay any remaining phone payments, that's it

Doesn't paying the remaining payments mean that you actually pay the full price as agreed to when you signed up? If so, how is Adobe's cancelation fee not an improvement? It is smaller than the remaining payments after all.

> My point is Adobe could be upfront and clearer with the overall pricing, terms, renewals, and cancel fees — I don't think they are at all.

I still disagree. If I sign up for an annual subscription I have no expactation of getting out of it early. That's what the monthly subscription is for. If they offer a way to cancel early despite my annual commitment that's a bonus which can be advertised, but doesn't have to be (again, why should they? That's what the monthly subscription is for).

Yes, he's not totally unimportant because CIA and MI6 pour hundreds of millions in information campaign dedicated to him every year. When you read or watch western media there's an illusion like he's the most important person in Russia.

Same with many media sources in Russian funded directly or indirectly by CIA (Meduza.io, Radio Freedom, etc). Or he's last YouTube movie that was evidently badly translated from English (using words and sentences that native speaker would never use) and was aggressively pushed by YouTube amounting millions of fake views immediately after publishing.

So, there's some amount of gullible people that go out to protests organized by CIA, but not many. Last protests were barely noticeable.

I'm very happy about it because I see what happens to countries that fail to stave off CIA organized protests - they go to stone age immediately (Libya, Syria) or gradually (Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine).

Our household doesn't have any optical drives. We have an xbox360 and a blueray/dvd in storage that hasn't been used since before our last move 3 years ago. So, essentially it's non-existent.

Actually, I'm wrong wife's desktop does... and our car does...but I mean the frequency of use is like twice per decade...
Yeah, they do want that. Tried to kill him multiple times using their FSB goons, almost succeeded. Now it's time for good old one - persecute on false charges, and let the penal system do its work. Not as effective or flashy as Nemtsov, or Politkovskaya, or Estemirova, or Litvinenko approach, but truly battle tested way of dealing with journalists or political opponents.
I've always wondered about this. I've been searching for a word that describes the things that I "want" to do, and the things I want to do. For example, I can program for eight hours straight on personal projects without batting an eye or needing to apply motivational strategy X or Y. I'll just fix a bug and I'll look up at my clock and find that it's four in the morning. It took me by surprise when my coworkers said that they didn't realize that having a programming hobby outside work was a thing at all, much less at the level of my dedication (if hyperfocus could even be called that).

However, I constantly question whether or not that is my "calling." I feel that programming games for eight hours a day and putting myself in that box for life is leaving too many other things on the table, ideas I want to express in other ways. If I just programmed with most of my free time and played games or something with the rest until I died, I would find something fundamentally wrong with my personal choices.

The issue is that without a dopamine-adjusting substance, it really feels like there is no way out of that loop. And I can't even deny that I'm succeeding at the programming thing, in a way that so many people can only dream of doing. But the art that I say I want to do requires Adderall at a certain point for me to make tangible progress, and the other kind of art doesn't. One has a limit of however many hours the drug lasts, the other has practically no limit except my ability to stay awake.

By now I understand the feelings of the people who say they can't program for more than X hours a day. I find it hard to do anything besides programming that requires deliberate effort for more than a few hours a day.

I feel that ADD isn't even a disorder indicating a deficit of attention, instead it's such that the attention is tightly bound to things that you don't get to choose. I kind of got lucky in my case, in that I legitimately enjoy programming and do want to finish the project I "want." But then there are other things that I want, that I tell myself that I want to scream at the world at the top of my lungs one day, but never do. I believe it would be the saddest thing if I passed on that opportunity. I only have one life.
This is a great self-hosted solution!

We built CyberSentinel (https://www.insurtechnix.com/) to solve two problems with this approach. Firstly the raw CVE feed is quite "noisy" so you need almost full NLP to get the best out. Secondly most organisations find it challenging to get an inventory of all their SW.

We also prioritize CVEs according to whether they have exploit code, and also whether they are targeted by exploit kits. There are only about 2 dozen CVEs at any time that are exploit kit targets, so patching just those gives a huge security ROI.
That's not really true: it takes about 30min to setup dummy companies so instead of A->B you now go A->X->Y->B and A and B can continue pretending they didn't know...

> last great booms we saw in the States

The exact same booms were seen all over the world. It's probably due to innovation and sharply falling energy prices (oil, hydro and nuclear.)

A boom the 90s is probably attributed to IT-productivity, but mostly sharply falling labour prices due to Chinese manufacturing.

Overall, booms are probably due to falling prices in input factors. Subsidies alone just leads to increasing prices.

Next boom probably happens when AI can replace menial jobs.

You are always free to add "conservative figures and/or counter points" if you can support them according to the Wikipedia guidelines. The lack of said counter points on such a high profile topic(1) suggests there aren't any good ones.

(1) Fringe topics are a different matter. A topic which is ignored by most people can contain very one-sided views simply because no one else cares.
Chrome is owned by a US company, so no guarantee about backdoors for the NSA since it's not fully open source.
> What is the operating fluid that will evaporate at -28C?

remember that its operating at a much higher pressure than normal plus there is a pressure differential between the "hot" side and the "cold" side.

my refrigerant is propane, which is a gas until -48c at atmospheric pressure.

The main issue is not the refrigerant, but ice build up on the condenser coil. this (I assume) stops the airflow over the coils and generally stops the condenser from absorbing heat(ice might also be less conductive).
> There isn't a finite amount of "wealth" in the world.

Yes, there is. It is not limited, we can do more of it, but of course it is finite. It is also important that, the more wealth you have, the easier it becomes to make more of it. So, indeed, the rich obtaining more of it does mean there's less for you and me.
Isn't that technically what the "Eco" button in some cars does. The turbo button didn't make the computer go faster if I recall, it reduced speed when activated.
I absolutely think this is a thing, speaking from experience. Working freelance and suddenly see your savings / income dry up due to circumstances. You start to go into “survival” mode which means you start making radical different decisions that work in favour of near future results (aka surviving) but cost dearly in long term health, independence and economic strength.
It looks like they could have used a deepfake.
Yeah, it seems a bit one sided. If they censored equally for every existing language I wonder how many words we'd have left.
> But of course, "privacy". Such a convenient excuse to prevent us from stopping alot of crime and fraud.

Are you saying that law-abiding people should renounce their right to privacy because of a few malicious actors, especially when there's plenty of other ways to prevent such crime (money laundering is merely a symptom of another crime and that one needs to be prevented).
Pulse Secure failure world-wide due to certificate expiration
I run such less trusted programs on other machines. The privilege elevation attack surface is just too big on a normal Linux system.

That's why I think intra-user isolation is better. I would feel so much better if my browser could just access its settings, the download directory, and read access outside my home directory (for libs and such).

If we're after velocity / speed of movement, why not just add APIs to existing services. Changes would be immediate and required setup would be so much simpler.
We're getting into legal details here, but in principle one can construct a contract where software use plus onerous rules are exchanged for money.

Thanks for the European perspective. Not a big fan of EULAs myself, especially ones where the cost to properly analyze by your own lawyer is likely much greater than the value of the software itself, which is the case for most consumer software.

Tailwind is easy to start but hard to maintain and extend.

Its good for a prototype or small landing page.

What about just, people buying multiple houses/apartments to rent them out? IANAE, but I have a sinking feeling the situation would quickly improve if ownership had per-person limits (and no easy way to pool the limits into a company).

Countries could build new housing faster than the population grows, but as long as it can be scooped up by the wealthy for renting out, the scarcity would prevail.
Why wouldn't I? I live in Russia and I support Kremlin politics. You say it like it's a bad thing and any good Russian citizen should strive to undermine his country. For what? To become a third world neo-colony? To allow NATO bomb our country like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya that are suffering from war for decades with no sign of improvement?
I want to give him a second chance, but I'd like him to demonstrate this new ability to change before taking it at face value.
Adding a dot to the domain name also seems to get around the paywall.
Not correct. Work started way earlier. See [this commit][1] from the Appcelerator CEO which creates the first hyperloop examples repo. And that repo was created because the community wanted to try hyperloop, which was already available but very alpha.

Also I made [some macros (Sweet.js) for Hyperloop][2] once the first alpha was released. Last commit is september 2014.

It's interesting that you put that quote forward as a reason to support UBI. I have the opposite reaction: I have no desire to be taxed to feed people "scratching their creative itches".

Things like this are a great use-case for privacy.com, or any other service that offers burner cards. Set a monthly limit, or make it one-time, etc. and make sure the company can't charge you more than you've specified.

Unique Ways to Increase Your Newsletter Audience
Thanks for the link. I'm a bit skeptical of that number ($700B). Intuitively, it's just a very large amount of money to hide without anyone noticing. It should be relatively easy to track down most of it.

However, after searching for follow-ups on that story, I wasn't able to find any news article saying that any significant (>$1B) amount of wealth was found. There were $664M that were frozen in Switzerland, as well as an undisclosed amount in the EU [1] (but both freezes were annulled in the meantime). Additionally, there were some properties and luxury cars he owned in Western cities [2].

All of these (and some generous extra for wealth he was able to hide) would add up to wealth in the order of billions, but most likely below $70B, and definitely below $700B.

Yes but unlike the browser, Node.js modules all run in a trusted environment anyway (you should never install modules you don't trust) because there are many ways that a malicious module could hijack the main process to read memory or user input so this vulnerability adds nothing.
> There’s a reason why Macau is no longer needed to get money out of China

Why would letting people circumvent the laws of an oppressive state to move their assets to safer havens be a bad thing? If anything, this describes a bull case for Bitcoin - "use BTC to bypass your oppressive government!"

Unless we are pro oppressive governments here (which, by the comments, seems like a lot of people here are)...
> because there's no alternative

It's a little strange that in all of Russia one can't find an alternative, for decades. One might think that when an alternative shows it might get poisoned and jailed.
Simple, rich people looking for stable assets. I mean sure its not as simple as that but this is generally what is happening in my city. Old space with smaller houses is bought and built on by big housing companies. More and more space in the city is owned by a few big (some stock traded) companies.

I live in Switzerland and a lot of my social circle is in tech, so i know quite some people who have the financial means to own their housing but only few do. Most in the high income spectrum even use the flexibility of moving regularly.

I personally don't consider buying a house anytime soon either. I could prolly afford the house i rent, however i dont live near a city, i highly doubt the value would ever rise, more the opposite as the house is old and needs regular repairs. Buying the house would be like 350 times the rent, at least. Plus all the repairs are suddenly my problem.
But you lose the ability to continue to rent if the landlord doesn't want to continue, aka you can get kicked out.

And any costs to maintain a livable condition is going to just be added to the cost of the rent anyway, so it's not like you're actually saving money.

Buying as its own costs of course, and sometimes it's more cost effective to rent. The most unuseful answer, hence, is that it depends on the specifics.
But, it also says "Cancel anytime", then turns around and asks you to cancel 1 month before renewal.
In Austria Vienna-Salzburg leaves at the airport and even has code sharing like a normal flight. The train takes 2:49. It was a condition of receiving the pandemic bailout money. I did the journey once and most definitely not want to fly instead. These trains serve many more people than just Salzburg though and I wonder if it is not a massive advantage for the airport in the long run. Airports have serious negative externalities and I think the public should set sensible rules here. Just because it is profitable doesn’t mean it has to be allowed.
I'm in NZ and it's craz I've here too.

I don't know if that's a symptom of a wealth gap or something else. What ever it is it's a real issue. I personally think prices are inflated by low interest rates and the bubble is going to pop at some point.
Well, we usually just call these people trolls, but if they are really a single person who is devoting that much time to the activity of smearing people they don't like via Wikipedia, I don't think calling them a "deranged psychotic" is an exaggeration...
