They could have also been refused access to the airspace of other countries sorrounding Austria if they had not chosen to land there. We don't know how the situation would have evolved.

And at "best", Assange could be the source of the (mis)information that Snowden may have been on board - the stunt itself was entirely pulled by the governments of France, Spain, Italy.
Most things are interesting simply due to the fact that they were produced by and through the constraints of their time. Seeing how people solved these contextual problems very often is fascinating. And then there's the spirit/aesthetics/goals of the era.

We had much less going on when we joked that you know who is compiling or running any sort of serious work in the office by hearing whose MBP was whining hard with its fans.
First, your evidence of another incident of a government strong arming a plane to land and capture someone is not evidence that either are not an abuse of power.

But even if we take as such, there are some major differences.

1. This was a journalist, not a government employee who stole classified information.

2. They claimed a bomb threat, and used a fighter jet to escort the plane down. There was no order to make this official, and as such was a hijacking.

3. The dictator president of Belarus has been arresting journalist and anyone else who may challenge him. Including anyone who runs against him in elections. Can't vote for people in jail/dead.

Maintenance isn't too bad IMO.

I've been running Sendy for a while on my own host. I spend about 30 minutes a year on maintenance time to occasionally upgrade versions. Each upgrade takes about 10 minutes and I tend do it every few months.
There are still people having 7+ years old Macbooks with easily replaceable HDD and sometimes RAM. And people buying new devices every release. Maybe attitude of society towards right to repair and Apple fanaticism will change over time as their pile of irreparable, damaged beyond economic repair, lost screws and parts over time garbage will start taking significant space in their homes.

It is possible to disagree with both actions; but it doesn't destroy "but you did it first" defense. The precedent[1] happened and was generally accepted, so unless you want to go the quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi route, it is supposed to be acceptable defense.

The principal way is to reject that defense for all cases, including the first one.

This is a published rule of Belorussian airspace. If there is a terrorist threat onboard a plane in it the plane cannot leave the airspace and must land in Belarus.
I don’t know if this is a common rule or not. Maybe it was intentionaly established for situations like this?

From Nicholas Wade's article (it's now the canonical reference for this stuff):

"Steven Quay, a physician-researcher, has applied statistical and bioinformatic tools to ingenious explorations of the virus’s origin, showing for instance how the hospitals receiving the early patients are clustered along the Wuhan №2 subway line which connects the Institute of Virology at one end with the international airport at the other, the perfect conveyor belt for distributing the virus from lab to globe."

One advantage of rendering your own lines is that it allows you to create cool effects.

> Mao’s pronouncements about the peasants’ willingness to pay that tribute, and the supposed improvements in peasants’ and workers’ lives, also resemble Stalin’s 1929 public statements.

> The main purpose of these policies was to make agriculture pay for the country’s transformation by seizing an ever-increasing amount of agricultural output to feed expanding cities and to procure through exports part of the currency needed to import the requisite agricultural and industrial technology. The mobilization of peasants through forced collectivization would provide the necessary labor. In both countries, these policies were justified by the claim that the rapid socialization of the countryside would cause a jump in productivity—a long-standing tenet of European socialism, which deemed large-scale agriculture inherently superior to small-holder farming. Communist officials thus maintained that resources and labor could be extracted from the villages without damaging the interests of the remaining peasants. Indeed, their lot would improve too, or so the story went.
It's just making an option for energy cheaper.

Russia needs it too, since they can't sell with profits internally.

From my POV, it's just an additional option you get to sanction them with if they are acting in bad faith ( again) while getting cheaper options.

In reality, the police were likely violating his rights and doing some good old fashioned parallel construction. They had his prints from his products, knew who he was already, waited until they watched him post a picture of cheese, then claimed it was only the picture that caused him to be caught.

This is a clear change in police methods, enabled by tech, and an abuse of your constitutional rights if this was a U.S. citizen. But hey, it’s funny because the guy liked cheese.
>>Apple will charge you $475 to replace a motherboard rather that has a blow 40 cent capacitor on a MBP.

That is not the only consideration either, data recovery is as well, since most of the time that $475 also means your device is wiped and all data lost, an independent shop could even charge someone that same $475 but retain the data and it would be worth it to the customer.
That's just speculation. Chances are they would have actually grounded the plane instead, because nobody would want to risk the plane falling down because of lack of fuel while being escorted.

Let's be honest here: Putin and Lukashenko can get away with this sort of shit because "we" first showed that it's acceptable behaviour. This is the risk of breaking unwritten rules on the international stage: sooner or later a bad guy will do it too, and you won't have the moral high ground. This journalist, and all the others who will have to take airspace into consideration from now on, are paying for the sins of Obama.

the primary use here is because of its smaller size. the tradeoff is increased cost, complexity, and low overall power throughput related to size. which isn't really a problem for the RPi form factor -- but this wouldn't be indicated for higher current draw applications like radio, or audio i would suspect.
That's not an exhibit of how this isn't state sponsored hijacking. That's a poor attempt at whataboutism, that has surfaced several times in ALL the threads on this topic.

There are several reasons that wasn't even remotely comparable, and the most obvious one is that that was diplomacy (the US closing airspaces and thereby giving the plane no choice but to land).

That kind of power is wielded by the US becuase it's a powerful global power AND because it has good diplimatic relations with the countries in question (France, Spain etc).

The pilot in the linked incident had to request to land (And could have returned to the starting airport but chose the closest, perhaps hoping to continue).

In the lukashenko incident, there were agents on board the plane. The emergency diversion wasn't to the nearest airport, but to the more distant Minsk. It's a hijacking. The bolivian case was not. No matter how shady the purposes were of the US trying to force the plane down, it doesn't chanhge that. They have every right to ASK their allies Spain and France to close their airspace for the Bolivian presidents' aircraft. Spain and France had every right to refuse (Of course knowing that their diplomatic relations with the US could take a hit).

Stop making this silly comparison please.
That part of the article confused me too, I think it's later implied they pay that 100 vs 20 hour cost much more often than once a year.
This is a very good example of showing that decentralized anonymous communication channels of any type are not enough to ensure free speech. I'm not saying that this particular example has anything to do with free speech, but it does show that you can not speak freely even over encrypted anonymous channels. You can still easily be doxed.

We can not rely on any technology to ensure freedom of speech. We need to engender social acceptance and our laws to encourage it.
Good, so you're in favour of an EU army? Armed invasion of Bielorussia to kidnap the guy back?

The geopolitical armchair experts complain more about responses than actually giving realistic suggestions to give.

It is not that clear that Russia all that happy about the incident. A girlfriend of Roman Protasevich, who is a Russian citizen, was also detained and that already caused PR issues for Kremlin.

Plus there is even comments from Russia’s Duma about how this can be damaging for Russia.

I'm always shocked every time that I read numbers like these. I'm from the EU. I don't know a single company that could afford to pay a single entry level job €100K or more. Realistic numbers for entry level positions are in the neighborhood of €20K. How can a company from EU hire anybody from the US?

Sure, thanks for sharing your experience, it created a good discussion as a result.

You mention an identity crisis, which is what I was responding to, and it was suggesting to me there was some self-reflection going on. You mention human nature as well:

"You cannot win by fighting human nature. You win by embracing human nature"

Do we really know what human nature is? Do we really know the true nature of the human mind? Are we identical to our bodies? If we lose a limb, do we change our minds/identities?

These are largely unanswered questions, but to me it suggests mind over body. So from this perspective, maybe the body is weak at times, and this can be confused with our own identity if we're not careful. Check out David Goggins (he has several interviews on YT), if you're not already familiar with him.
There is this reaction in internet communities to demand a kind of reaction from a democratic organisation that would only be possible in an autocracy.
Couldn't agree more. The pattern is basically:

1. High-ranking official says they're "gravely/deeply/very concerned" within the first 24-48h.

2. Some EU parliament member mentions the problem within two or three weeks, shaming other members. A clip of this few minutes long speech gets shared all over social media.

3. Absolutely nothing happens until everyone forgets about the issue.

Over and over again, issue after issue, day after day.

> [lua] was discarded because of 3. It has unfamiliar syntax, but worse, unfamiliar semantics: no classes, use tables, start indexing at 1 and other oddities, just as being able to call functions with the wrong number of arguments and returning nil on the way. Also, use tables for both hash tables and arrays. It is powerful, do not misunderstand me, and Lua supports good concurrency. It was just not what I was looking for because of the mentioned things.

I can fully understand why lua is not a good fit for this case, however, I would like to add some color to the picture.

The most powerful way to for C(++) - lua interop, is not the official CAPI but luajit/FFI: https://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html

This allows for allocation of C objects on the heap and on the stack and FAST function calls. Doing the same for C++ is possible but requires some work e.g. http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-07/msg00492.html

Furthermore:

- unfamiliar syntax -- The syntax is tiny -- and I found nothing unexpected about it.

- no classes -- There are many class libraries available for lua. Just pick one. Used penlight classes quite a bit, without running into major issues.

- use tables for both hash tables and arrays. -- Yes. This is on the API side, under the hood hashes and arrays are used where appropriate.

>>What percentage of Apple customers are doing surface mount rework, or even hiring other people to do this, in your estimation? My guess is less than .01%.

This is a terrible argument. Apple has Teams of lawyers, and engineers doing to best to make sure board level repair is technically and legally unfeasible as possible, and in your circular logic their success is prohibiting repair is justification for continued or increased anti-repair actions

Wow...

The better question is "How man Apple Customers would like to have the option of repair vs replace"

Well, he said it was "very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated".

There are multiple related claims that fall under the umbrella of lab leaks:

1. Did it escape from a lab?

2. Was that lab manipulating the RNA of the virus?

3. Was the lab doing so for nefarious/biowarfare related ends?

The CNN article is the usual manipulative bilge we might expect from them, because the headline is "Anthony Fauci just crushed Donald Trump's theory on the origins of the coronavirus", but Trump was claiming the virus escaped from a lab (claim 1) and then Fauci makes a counter-claim that it wasn't manipulated by a lab (claim 2).

The claim it escaped from a lab was always pretty strong given the long history of lab leaks and where it started. The claim the lab was manipulating it originally had to rely on RNA evidence, which is rather complex to understand, ambiguous and disputed. But recently people seem to have dug up documentary evidence that the US NIAID (led by Dr Fauci) was directing funding to the WIV specifically to manipulate bat coronaviruses, so claim (2) is starting to look pretty strong too.

Claim 3 looks very weak and is getting far less attention as a result. There's no evidence for it and COVID makes for an objectively very poor bio weapon. It's also not the most parsimonious explanation that works. Virology researchers had convinced themselves that GOF research was something important that they should be doing, and were able to work around US bans on it by doing it abroad and getting it approved by high level enough figures who could override the bans. They had clear incentives to do the work at low bio-safety levels, and appear to have done so (again from documentary evidence). As is often the case they thought they were doing something good for the world, and that the ends justified the means. They were wrong. No more complex explanation is necessary.

Been working with EDIFACT for 25 years (and X12, TRADACOMS, and all forms of XML). EDIFACT is, in my opinion, the most efficient way to transfer structured, repetitive data structures between different systems (mostly supply-chain or logistics). Designed to be efficient in a time when a 28.8kbps modem was fast. 12 to 15 times more compact than optimized XML. Much better than XML or JSON when you are legally bound to archive invoices for 10 years. Most mesages are around or below 5kB.
Only drawbacks:
- if you store it in a database, you can't easily query it like you would JSON.
- it only supports 1-byte encodings (EDIFACT v4 does support multi-byte encoding, but I have yet to see it used in the real world). These days, UTF-8 is everywhere.
- most end users think it's a simple text format, they code quick and dirty half-baked scripts to cobble some EDIFACT-looking garbage together and call it a day. Then they grumble when it gets rejected by a real EDIFACT parser.
