Let's condemn Russia always always always but let's look away from the US trying to create vassal states in Europe to antagonize Russia. It's like hearing the brain-dead old George Bush: United States/West good, Russia bad, very bad.

Let's see how many NGOs and US spies have been working to undermine Belarus sovereignty. Even in Syria American politicians accepted the fact that US supported directy terrorists who wanted to subvert Assad. IF Assad was a criminal but a good friend of the US interests, that would no problem. The US would not even bother.
Not to mention of course, Ukraine, where right wing Nazi fascists are supported militarily by United states and Europe (all the US's vassal states speak the same language)

By the way, techcrunch is a mouthpiece of the US based interests. They did not notice that Lukashenko did not accept any "help" from IMF or the WHO besides having been pressured heavily. Opening up your country to IMF is like giving them your keys.
EPAM is an American company. It's clients are in the US, it's legal entity is in the U.S., and it makes profits in the U.S. And founder is an American citizen.

Belarusian (as well as Ukrainian etc.) EPAM are just outsourcing for the head office.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPAM_Systems

so just 2500 out of 41K people are in Belarus (while it is from where it all started).

it makes no sense for Lukashenka harassing EPAM. So you do it and they just move these 6% of heads to other country offices.
It is still ineffective; nbase-t port requires more power than dac or optical, on desktops it is just not dense, so it doesn't show up to the same extent.

Switches with no poe can also have not enough juice to power rj45 transceivers in every port; it is quite possible to be able to juice up only every fourth port or so.

Nbase-T is also higher latency than the others.
> If I hold Dai on Ethereum, nobody can take it or my account.

But then you trust other people to even accept your Dai. There are literally thousands of cryptocurrencies. How many of them are at all viable (for any definition of viable)?

> Of course, if I want to cash out to my bank account, I must trust the banks

Yes. Just like you have to trust the gazillion bitcoin exchanges. Or the people who let you convert cryptocurrencies into real money.

> Imagine if you could bring these improved characteristics to any arbitrary computation?

I don't have to imagine. You already said it yourself: "I must trust the banks". Cryptocurrencies are trustless. To bring any of the perceived "improved characteristics" you need to painstakingly recreate all the institutions based on trust that already exist in the real world.
Awesome project! Is there a way to find out who the author is? I can't seem to find that information on the imgur page.

Speculators buy and sell, in equal measure. That's what makes them speculators. It's a net zero.

If they bought and held, they'd be investors.
It's not exactly under control in the west yet either. Mainland Europe seems to be going through a pretty serious third wave.
It's ignorant to maintain the position not dying from it is enough to not give a shit about it. It's still a crippling disease that can cause organ scarring and long-term illness, and letting it run free provides it with a breeding ground to provide new variants.

I mean the past year and a half have been a real life version of Plague Inc; the 'contagion' marker and mutations have been played with so far, the 'deadliness' factor may mutate next.
> So when purchasing Visual Studio subscription in order to write software for windows, you expect nothing to work out of the box?

If you mean I expect to compose my own complex controls out of less complex building blocks, then yes that's what I want and expect.

> Meanwhile, there's Microsoft, using the funds from our subscriptions and building stuff like Xamarin Forms and abandoning it half-way through

I agree WPF and others have been backbenched for 10 years. Microsoft panicked and needed a strategy for cloud and mobile, while they weren't exactly being threatened on desktop. So from a business perspective it made perfect sense: leave desktop for 10 years. Now they are slowly coming back to it with .NET 5 which is nice, but it wasn't very pleasant to be a Windows desktop dev between 2010 and 2020.
By your logic, high-income viewers (such as most of the HN users) are currently paying *more* for viewing videos than the average viewer since their attention is worth more.
20 year old cars hit the sweespot for me. They're repairable and reliable (given a reputable model), and they're new enough to have airbags.

I hope electric cars take advantage of their simplicity and become very repairable, but I'm worried given Tesla's behavior.
Obviously, "capable of running arbitrary binaries, but with a check inside exec() to allow only specific binaries run" counts as "capable of running arbitrary binaries".
Microservices are a solution for scaling teams, not software or infrastructure.

The part it was 'posted'/awarded on the day a famous Austrian painter (who would have not approved of Photoshop) was born, makes it even better.
That is the bit that makes me a little uneasy for running uBlock Origin with basically no exceptions, but then again, ad tech continues to prove to be so abusive again and again that I quickly get over it.

I figure that $1 a month on Patreon is worth hundreds of times more to a creator than the ad revenue I'm depriving them of, and buying any merch probably thousands of times.
Sooner or later it will have to end.

Of course it could; but there are other trade-offs such as screen size, etc.
>It's just greed, plain and simple.

I get that position, but it is a lot more than greed...or maybe a lot less.

It is uneducated investors that see something they don't understand that is unregulated, easily accessible and being marketed to them in ways they should be considered lying and defrauding.

Again the fact that you have a CEO of a publicly traded company constantly Tweeting Doge to the Moon...its easy to say well you bought in thats just greed, fine, but its dystopian as hell.
Maybe. But Google has sacrificed trust.

Look at the comments under "YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Gets 'Freedom Expression' Award Sponsored by YouTube"[1]. And this is on Hacker News, probably one of the more Google-friendly communities you'll find online.

This is how you kill a vibrant community of creators.

it actually seems implausible that a genetic mutation would produce a language "organ" as it would confer no advantage to an individual in a society where your peers had no language skills.

This is a non-sequitur because you're implying that such a mutation would be binary: either a creature has it and can communicate with creatures that have the same, or it hasn't and communication is impossible. That's not how evolution works, specialization of organs can happen over thousands of generations. If a specific mutation is beneficial, it spreads through the population over time, and additional mutations in that area can further develop the organ.

Second, our speech apparatus isn't one "organ" in the narrow sense: our lungs/vocal chords/tongue/lips/cheeks/jaw all contribute to the richness of our speech. The breadth of our speaking ability is a specialization of fine muscle control in all those areas, coupled with a finely-tuned hearing apparatus to analyze and understand those sounds.

It doesn't seem like an extraordinary claim to me that our evolutionary path has enhanced our communication ability far beyond our peer species -- because it's clear to see how a rich vocubulary can aid a species' survival over time. I have no knowledge of Chomsky's specific claims, but I don't think you are representing his theory accurately.

Thank you very much for your comment.I am very happy that you were interested in it. I was very worried about deciding the domain name. Sharing personal bookmarks (transferring to others) is the basis of the development concept, and we named it as a bookmark that everyone can edit.
You can probably design the fragment so it doesn't mesh well with the recycling apparatus of the human cell but still works for transcription.
Even if the Google types have better spatial/technical problem solving skills, how does that translate to self-awareness?
I feel the same, but you started this thread suggesting that we "accelerate the brain drain". I don't think that's a good idea, it's going to make ordinary Russians worse off. The immigration policy should not serve as a tool to do that, but rather as a tool to help those who are not happy living in Russia. In practice this would mean, a genius professor of nuclear science, or a dissident coal miner, should be given the same chance to immigrate into the U.S.
No idea, only getting a pastel colored background with a blinking eye, the HTML source is messy enough that I don't want to read the article
Same. It takes a little effort to read but it's understandable and it does feel Croatian or thereabouts. On a somewhat funny note, Chrome decided to translate the page in Interslavic from Czech to Polish and did a passable job.

What I find fascinating about Slavic languages is that I can speak Polish in Slovakia*, get responses in Slovak and mostly understand each other. It has basically zero chance of success in the Czech Republic to the point where it's easier to find an English speaker. I speak neither Czech nor Slovak and I cannot really distinguish them but I had this experience multiple times. In written form, both are similarly understandable to me (I can get the gist and guess the rest).

* the caveat about szukanie czegoś do picia still applies though.
It is because those dissenters have no effect on US elections.

The moment they do and it seems to be helping the opponents of Youtube's preferred candidates (which they have made clear that they have), those foreign dissenters will get flushed down the algorithmic memory hole too.
When it comes from a hostile company, yes.

You can mitigate the privacy impact of ads with countermeasures such as ad-blockers or provide fake personal information if asked.

You can't easily do so with paid services because you need to provide real information for the payment to be processed. This requires mutual trust on both sides of the transaction.
On the upside as long as you have Find My iPhone activated when you did have the phone it doesn't have a huge amount of value to the thief, particularly on newer models where individual components can't even be swapped without issues.
Great question and we all know the answer.
YouTube does show the creator/uploader engagement throughout the video, so you can tell if there are less viewers for sponsor segments. My point is that info isn't necessarily shared through to the advertiser
Yeah? Check out the involvement of NGO directly financed by the West. What ever happened in Ukraine's coup orchestrated by the West is not going to happen in Belarus. And that is a hard pill to swallow for you people.

This game is big, really big. It is all about getting rid of dependency on the SWIFT system backed by US dollars. Iran wants to sell oil to China and buy military equipment from them. Russia wants to sell gas to China. Right now USA can block all of this quite effectively (barter between countries can be used, or gold, which is happening now to some extent, but is very impractical).

More. EU wants to trade with Iran as well, the reason for introduction sanctions against Iran after the deal was made and was honored by Iran is hard to understand from the European perspective. But no bank will violate US sanctions and risk to be excluded from SWIFT.
Digital Yuan and some other solutions like this (EU is working on a similar solution) might change all of this.
Elon Musk’s reply to ‘he wasn't able to get a job anywhere’
I really hope people realize that indeed both USA and Russia mostly follow their own interests and don't see this as a black/white thing: you see the russian sentiment and downvote it, but don't see how equally biased the US one is.

And sadly HN and Reddit are usually political echo chambers for geopolitics
I'll bite. Governments are virtual machines, aka language runtimes, they provide a baseline for human cooperation by creating the rule of law and a political environment within which an advanced economy can exist. They can only provide these things because they conquered land via a military and protect the land and its citizens from intruders.

You can argue that there are ways of taxation that are compatible with this idea and there are ways of taxation that are counterproductive but you cannot argue that the taxes shouldn't exist because that would mean no government which would mean no rule of law and no political environment in which an advanced economy can exist. Of course, the big problem is that many governments fail to live up to their responsibility. The US and EU countries' government may be failing their citizens, but not as much as many Asian, African or Latin American governments.
Knowing Farsi (or perhaps Urdu) will not help you with Arabic or Hebrew comprehension. There are "loan" words and constructs which help indeed but they don't combine well with Farsi's. It helps you read it but it won't help you understand it or speak it correctly.
I think your argument holds overall, in a sense that it's easier for a Farsi native to go to Arabic compared to a Chinese native.

Indeed, very handy tool. I once used it to discover that a new deployment generated spike CPU load. Reason was a badly implemented javascript doing a call on the db when hovering over a product (preview stock). Fun to see the actual correlation in a GUI in realtime.

Well - money laundering, drug dealing, ICO scams...

On the positive side I think there's something like creating wealth through the power of imagination.

I mean 20 years ago there were no crypto currencies. Now on paper they are worth $2trn ($260 a head for the world's population). And lots of people can feel wealthy because they have $100k in bitcoin of whatever. And it can retain actual value in the sense that you can swap it for US$ as long as everyone doesn't sell at the same time. And where has the value come from - basically human imagination thinking the 0s and 1s are worth something. Which may be more sustainable than it sounds. Where does the value of fiat currency come from or the value of a painting in excess of the cost of making a copy of it?

I foresee a future where everyone is a crypto millionaire through the power of imagination. (Which would imply a 10000x form here?!)

Uhm, how about wishing for peace since Russia is allready big enought to threaten Europe?

I can not agree more with this post.
After being a C# developer for 5 years, I can not think of a worst language to learn that C#.
The ecosystem is dead just check the latest startups from YC, how many are using C#? How many startups nowadays are using C#?

Currently there are better options than C# or .NET.
You want simplicity, you have Go. You can create an API server so simple and easy to understand.
You want a full framework, you have Rails. Rails give you everything so easy to be productive and start shipping. Just run gem install device and you have authentification.
You need to storage files, images, etc., just a simple tag on your model and really to go.
Usually part of the CLA is meant to allow dual licensing. The idea is that the company also makes the software available under a commercial non-viral license.

Hence if you contribute to a GPL project with a CLA, some companies could still publish your code closed source through a commercial license deal.
This is irrelevant to my point, which is:

If you have a 2,500-strong manufacturing plant, the government can come and take over your plant. If you have a 2,500-strong bank, the government can come and take over your bank. If you have a 2,500-strong property-holding company, the government can come and take over your company and your properties.

But if you have a 2,500-strong software development center, the government cannot come and take over your software development center. And this is why software development centers strive in Belarus.
Reducing congestion and the kind of dangerous behaviour that produces presumably has some impact? You'd think that spread out cars all travelling at similar speeds are in general safer than more tightly packed cars with impatient drivers overtaking, switching lanes and so on.
Dating sites - as they are designed - are a game that most men will never win. The best option is to not play it at all or play it by your rules (I remember to read a comment where a fellow HNer assumed to artificially inflate his Instagram followers and getting an huge payoff).

By playing the game, you allow your counterpart to choose instictively/optimally and - digitally and anonymously - reject an huge pool of non-optimal choices. Rejecting in the analog world is difficult and time intensive. This precipitates involuntary/unoptimal choices and the odds of a match for the bottom 80% skyrocket.
Occasional source of havoc - yes.
Permanent source of havoc - no.

Vaccinations have ramped up in ways no one has every seen in history. And lots of lessons were learnt during the first few waves from all the blundering that happened. Nothing is static and predictable about systems that learn and change from day to day. Stick that on your Fridge. And re-examine how your prediction is doing next month.
People create new theories every time they make a piece of music. Computer music tools allow them to work with those theories. Still lots of work to do. The idea of there being "a music theory" is perpetuated by music schools obsessed with the music of a handful of dead white guys.

I don't think that's remotely true.
AGPL license clearly gives you the ability to freely link with whatever software you want. The only requirement is to share it with your customers.
Following your logic it could be said that MIT licensed software could not be freely used because it requires preservation of original copyright notice
That's your wishful thinking talking.

Most people are still on USB-A, especially those who are not tech savvy.
lol who is you people what I ma baffled at your statement I know the West has insiduous ties with what is happening in there but how is it bad to register crimes yeah the west can be degenerate and infuence things but Lukashenko seems to be corrupt so how is people being able to talk in an app something you criticize like this? Get a grip
I don't think the new TouchID works any different than the versions before. According to Apple, the fingerprints are exclusively stored on the device, so, using a locally stored fingerprint for log in a local user should be fairly straight forward.

When I got my S10 and everyone talked about the new fingerprint sensor technology I got curious and researched myself, I found a Computerphile [1] video that does a great job at explaining how fingerprint recognition works.

That is true. It has some features to allow to quickly jump between many machines, but indeed out of the box it is not for many servers at the same time.

BUT it can be configured to push data to Prometheus or similar (it's called a "backend") and some other integrations like notifications can be done.

Super neat project, very easy to set up. I highly recommend it to anyone who does performance troubleshooting. Netdata put into a standard Linux system will detect a lot of different things, like firewalls, containers, a lot of software like databases, queuing systems, mail systems and provide additional data every second.

Works flawlessly on Proxmox clusters!
Does it make much of a difference if I manually skip it? Those sponsor segments are always for terrible products.
I wish it worked like this in the UK. If memory serves in London a motorbike has a 1 in 12 chance of being stolen in any given year, and I suspect it's a lot higher for bicycles.

To be fair when my bicycle was stolen the police did care, but they were quite frank with me about the odds of recovery being virtually zero despite having CCTV of the incident and the getaway vehicle.

> Uhm, how about wishing for peace since Russia is allready big enought to threaten Europe?

Of course it is, I can do the math. And exactly because of that Europe should strive to bleed off Russia's reserves, and firepower while it still can.

If Europe lets Russia's massive armour advantage to continue, no amount of airpower, nukes, "smart bombs," or whatever else wunderwaffe will save them when 3-5 tank armies will pour through Fulda gap.

But there is another factor, only recently mentioned in Indian media.

The fear factor causes many of those with means to insist on hospitalization. This article talks about it in the context of celebs [1] but I've seen it among my relatives as well where healthy young adults with moderate/high Ct values are admitted on insistence of their parents or themselves.

I read similar reporting about self-arranged oxygen use as well.
