They did not do the same thing at all. Refusing permission for a state aircraft to transit your airspace is very different from forcing a civilian plane to land in your country under false pretences, in order to make a political arrest of a journalist.

Ask HN: How to Find Customers (SaaS)?
My cofounder and I are both technical and we've been working on a MVP for the recruiting space to streamline the hiring process. We started the project because of our own frustration with existing recruiting systems (from a hiring manager perspective). However, we are not sure what the best way is to get in contact with potential customers?

For the MVP our focus is on streamlining the hiring process (reviewing candidate profiles, automatically scheduling interviews, collecting feedback, providing insights and stats, etc.). Basically our app takes away the labor of managing the process (often done by the recruiter or hiring manager) and make it a one-click notification based process (when input is needed, such as deciding whether the candidate should advance to the next stage of the process). We believe this is a problem in mid- to large size companies, but are also worried that most of the money is in sourcing candidates rather than managing the process. We'd like to talk to potential customers to (1) figure out what the minimum solution is that they'd want to pay for and (2) getting paying customers and their feedback to further enhance the product.
The largest trade partners for Belarus are: Russia, Ukraine, Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, China (imports), Lithuania, and Italy (imports).

The EU can severely damage the economy of Belarus by cutting off all trade and financial ties. And then work with the US to essentially destroy the country economically by cutting it off to nearly all global trade and financing. The only thing left to prop it up would be Russia and some Chinese imports; it would make Belarus a hermit state economically.

All the US has to do is say: we'll sanction any bank, corporation or person that does business with Belarus. Most will instantly capitulate, just as they did with Iran.

If the US asks Britain, Poland and Ukraine to suspend all trade ties to Belarus, they'll do it. Combine that with the EU members, and Belarus no longer functions in terms of having access to the global economy.

The downside to smashing Belarus in such a way, which would be very easy to do, is that it'll just throw Belarus into the hands of Russia entirely. Lukashenko knows that context with the West and has been playing the angles for a long time accordingly.
Presumably it just means "not mainstream". Which is certainly true. Because demoscene is exemplar of the "hacker mindset", it's no wonder it tends to feature on HN. But HN is not exactly mainstream either.
Let‘s not use the word „dictatorial“ in an extremely inflationary way. You can call it a government PR spin if you want, but I think no country in the EU is anywhere close to anything like North Korea or even Belarus.
From the now updated article:

>Ms Tikhanovskaya said Mr Protasevich, 26, had left Belarus in 2019 and covered the events of the 2020 presidential election with Nexta, after which criminal charges were filed against him in Belarus.

>She said he faced the death penalty in Belarus as he has been categorised as a terrorist.

So the charges were pre-concocted. They didn't have to make any up at the last moment.
I think it’s immensely problematic that a seed can fall in your farm, and you can be sued for illegally growing Monsanto’s IP. More generally I think it’s a bad societal outcome for one company to use IP laws to monopolize the food production economy. I think allowing this will lead to a much less robust society.

I’m all for free markets for most markets, but things get very bad if people don’t have food. So I think there is a good case for the government funding research and open-sourcing the work here, and also potentially restricting eligibility of patents in this area too.

I think your argument is sound in a free-market maximalist / small-government libertarian framework, I’m just less convinced that the current IP framework produces good results in this case.
There are some problems with that approach…

(1) Which government? Governments have limited jurisdictions, so, e.g., the U.S. federal government, or the State of Michigan, is going to have a hard time prosecuting a Russian citizen in Russia.

(2) Under what laws? There are a lot of things that are malware that aren’t strictly illegal, at least not yet. Laws like this aren’t easy to write, either. They almost surely need to include the element of intent, which will make them hard to use.

(3) What agency (in each country) is going to be given the responsibility *and budget* to enforce the anti-malware laws (once they exist)? You’re proposing the creating of a fairly large new bureaucracy for most places.

(4) For good reason, the justice system in most places moves slowly. Presumably, malware apps will need to be left up at least until the criminal investigation is complete and a court order can be obtained. Possibly until a guilty verdict.

It seems so much more efficient to put in some up-front barriers to malware stores.

I’ll also just point out that we have had malware problems for some time and the threat of criminal prosecution does not seem to have proven to be a deterrent, so I don’t think we can count on it now.

Reducing a complicated situation to a mathematical fact is basically strawman argument. If a an expert is talking about a complicated area with a lot of nuance and no concrete right answer, then that expert's credibility matters.
I think they are asking this: why not use the transistor to chop the 50/60 Hz AC into potentially-megahertz AC? Then pass that chopped AC to the transformer, which could still be small.

The motivation would be to try to eliminate the full bridge rectifier and the high-voltage capacitors.

I'm not an EE, but I would guess the simple answer is it's because you can't pass a AC through a transistor, since a transistor not only switches but also acts like a diode.

I think you could work around that (build a circuit that switches AC with transistors), but there must be a reason why you wouldn't want to. Perhaps it's because it's simpler to just go ahead and rectify, or perhaps there's an advantage to having capacitors on the high-voltage side.

Evo Morales' plane wasn't grounded by anybody; they chose to land, with a suspiciously convenient reason. Given Evo Morales whole anti-imperialist persona, and how he hyped his support for Snowden (appearing to consider offering Snowden asylum on a public TV interview just a day before, to hammer it home), and the fact that it's not even really clear which countries actually denied access to their airspace (the Bolivian account is disputed), and that nobody forced the plane to land or even requested it to, you kind of have to conclude that this was a political stunt by Evo Morales.

To put it this was: the US and it's allies were played for fools, highlighting their unreasonableness. But in no way shape or form is this similar to the current situations in anything but the most superficial sense.
What if the platform strategy is inherently flawed from the perspective of a public good, and is inherently monopolistic and anticompetitive? How does this not reach the absolute definition of a de facto monopoly, especially if you’ve read about the powers that monopolies already broken up we’re using to keep theirs? No monopoly ever will admit it is one.

I would like to see a world where platforms are forcibly opened - it seems like any downside could be easily mitigated with competition or regulation. If Apple wants to be a privacy platform great. But they don’t get to take an arbitrary cut out of every companies bottom line with no recourse because they own the hardware. I think anyone saying the potential bad effects don’t have enough imagination as to how well things can work when everything isn’t owned by one company. You could even argue it’s anti capitalist if you wanted.
You've got this exactly backwards. The invasion of Iraq was a contingent factor in the rise of ISIL. In particular Bremer's decision to disband the Iraqi regular army was incredibly stupid. The bulk of the regular army, not the republican guard, acted more as a nation wide police force than a military proper. Disbanding them meant there were now 100,000's of thousands of young men with basic military training with no more income to provide to their family. That became the recruiting pool for both the insurgency and ISIL.

I had a formative experience regarding the game of chicken years ago. It might look very much off topic at first sight, but please read on and decide for yourself.

When I was in secondary school, bored teenagers repeatedly threatened local school bombings, causing the repeated evacuation of several schools. Never the one I went to school at. I later learned why from my father, a teacher at the school. The school did receive bomb threats just like the others. The school head did warn the police. After a short discussion with them, he firmly and politely informed them that our school would not be evacuated, and that was that. He was - and is, at 87- a quiet and soft spoken man, a well respected member of society, but definitely not afraid of a game of chicken.

Love the OP's attitude. It's perfect for anyone looking to explore computing as a medium.

The HN comments they quote (shipping for customers, and avoiding pointless homework) come from a very different perspective -- where the medium being explored is not computing, but rather the process of satisfying specific human needs in the context of a "market".

Both have their own value; it's just that they're completely orthogonal in intent and worth not conflating.

It depends on what you think the design should have been. Some might look on and say that the ability for states to group together and not permit what they view as an overbearing ruling as a feature. Others would call it dissent.

On the other hand, EU states retain their national sovereignty, and could leave the EU if they disagreed with the EU that deeply, which the UK has currently done. The ability for states to group together and buck rulings, in a sense, makes it less likely for states to leave the union entirely. This ability may also have helped convince states to join the EU in the first place.

I suppose it’s only a matter of time though until companies wise up and go through historical info and not just present values.

One thing that makes porting D code easy is byte, short, int and long have the same size across all platforms. It's unbelievable how much time is wasted in C/C++ programming accounting for int not being a reliable size. I know one can use stdint.h, but people still just use `long` and then the code breaks when ported between OSX and Linux.

Another simple but convenient feature is, what if you need the maximum size of an int?

#include <limits.h>
int max = INT_MAX;

But what about:

typedef int myint;
myint mymax = MYINT_MAX; // oops

D has properties, here a .max property:

int max = int.max;
typedef int myint;
myint mymax = myint.max;

Nice things like this eliminate a lot of porting bugs.
Honestly, that's petty.

By volume, the chips on the open market aren’t stolen and most aren’t counterfeit. Most are legitimate and a fair amount of the suspiciously cheap parts are binned or older revisions. The scale of the chip marketplace is more akin to sum of the agricultural output of California’s Central Valley - not your weekend farmers market. No one is messing around with stolen parts in these kind of quantities.

The reason companies are kicking and screaming about right to repair is because reverse logistics (how you deal broken/returned goods) is already a huge cost center and the legislation as proposed would make it more so. No one is making massive profit off repair parts - they’re offsetting massive losses.

Developers won't leave the App Store if Apple are offering good value to them and their customers.

If Apple stops offering good value (fair policies, commissions), then Apple should be "punished" by losing business.

Offering competing stores provides a strong incentive for Apple to make theirs even better. Developers would win and consumers would win. The only "loser" would be Apple (at least as far as short term financials are concerned).

That scare scenario has never occurred, and it's legally doubtful that any such lawsuit by someone like Monsanto could succeed. Monsanto itself explicitly said it would never sue anyone for accidental contamination.

What Monsanto DID do was sue someone whose field was contaminated, and who then repeatedly sprayed the field with glyphosate to kill all but the GMO plants, so he could selectively concentrate the interlopers to continue to propagate. It's this last step that got the farmer in trouble.

> but things get very bad if people don’t have food

GMO IP protection does nothing to prevent farmers from continuing to grow previously existing varieties. So this is another scare argument without foundation.

> I think your argument is sound in a free-market maximalist / small-government libertarian framework, I’m just less convinced that the current IP framework produces good results in this case.

I think the anti-IP argument is an underhanded way to try to ban GMOs without actually saying you want to do that.
