In Snowden case the plan weren't forced to land and was free to pick a different path. Ryanair's flight didn't have a choice. Belarus ignored all the convention and put passengers in danger. Not a big difference?
I'm an EU citizen we obviously have a different viewpoint on this but the link you sent to me shows precisely all bark in my opinion.

Holding off on a few weapons exports here and there is meaningless.

> People keep saying that

If it's the general concensus there may be some reason for that. I'm sure Belarus wouldnt try this with a US plane.

> Turkey doesn't have to "watch", they also received sanctions after the drilling standoff two years ago.

If the reaction to hijacking an EU plane flying from one EU nation to another is indeed just some export/import sanctions, then yes I do think Turkey will find that interesting.
I think there are too many unknowns to state either case as a fact: Did they test every animal that had been there? How? Weren't half of them sold and gone already? Do we know none got loose or came from outside?

This seems to inherently assume a strong correlation between "talented" and "risk-averse". A startup is potentially far more valuable than working at a FAANG, especially so if you are a founder. So, why ever work for anything other than your own company?

And, even if the "talent" takes a job at FAANG, what stops them from having a 2-year turnover rate where they make some money and then go risk starting their own company, and if that fails then just go back to making a steady paycheck?

The FAANG strategy for hiring talent seems to be something along the lines of: "Sure, not all talent will be risk-averse, but a (large) percentage of talent will be, and we can grab those risk-averse talented people with higher-salaries than smaller companies."

In other words: if you are not a founder, relatively high-equity early employee, or a FAANG employee then you are game-theoretically either second-tier talent, really hate FAANG companies, and/or you are not actually aiming high enough.
No - it has fairly large taxes. That the surrounding states went insane with taxes is another thing.
> Do you have figures for how much compute power they need for those too?

NANO uses around 0.112 Wh. Barely any energy at all. At its peak, NANO might consume about as much as energy as a single shopping mall.

XMR is about 60 Gwh. Such is the price of truly anonymous electronic payments, at least until more cryptographers work on XMR to figure out how we can increase efficiency.

Energy consumption is an issue, but it’s overblown. There are trivial things that have a far greater climate impact than crypto, but provide less potential value to humanity. If people spent half as much time worrying about the climate impact of their own choices, our crisis would be all but solved. Finger-pointing is easy, changing yourself is hard.

Still, most cryptos are rapidly moving to reducing their energy consumption by a factor of 100-1000 by moving to proof of stake.

> I could write an ACID-compliant DB that could do 1M TPS

Your system is neither distributed nor trustless. Users will be at your mercy. Hardly the ideal system for humanity.

Try designing a similar system that works across hundreds of thousands of disparate nodes, many of which may be malicious or differently configured and in poor network environments. You will very quickly arrive at a similar model to modern cryptocurrencies.

> At what point do we cut our losses and say this approach isn't working

Certainly not when development speed has been rapidly increasing over time?

These are early stage projects. A few years for a volunteer-designed global electronic financial system that frees humanity from the mercy of banks and financial censorship is not bad.

Especially when you can’t take an Agile “move fast and break things” approach.

> But we move at a faster pace than the Romans now and if a technology hasn't matured after 11 years

Why do you keep saying the technology hasn’t matured after 11 years? I feel like you barely read my reply - how are NANO, XMR, and ETH/ETH2 not massive indicators of the improvement in the crypto sphere? Each alone represents a significant generational stride beyond BTC as it was originally defined. NANO brought us fast transactions, XMR brought us anonymity and censorship resistance, and ETH brought us smart contracts.

MH17 being shot down meant a huge diversion of flights over a well trafficked route. It's not huge but the overflight fees add up after a while if people avoid crossing your borders, effective ATC in most countries rely on these aeronautical charges coming in every year.

While the effects might not be immediate and a stubborn government can shrug it off, there is certainly long-term consequences if airlines make a decision to declare a country off-limits for routes.
Interesting. So a CPU at version N is updated by a sequence of N patches applied in order, where each patch is a pair of location and code-as-data, plus noise (gotta confuse the competition, and hackers I guess).

The Interpretation of Full Stack Development
Many did. And no they can't "just do it". The hijacking was yesterday, the Ryanair flight took off from Pathos today.

They can file a flightpath avoiding Belarus. Maybe it would be 100 miles longer rather than 50, adding 15 minutes to the journey, and a few extra dollars to the gas bill.

Very poor judgement.
Kind of disappointed. I thought they would do some high-tech matching of the blue veins in the cheese in the photo to one in the suspect's fridge.
Okay, then capitalism far out-scores Marxist-Leninism in that departament. From man-made famines in colonies to the genocide of natives.

That does not imply that anyone "could travel, immigrate, and settle all around Europe without papers" at the same time. Wherever I look, I am finding various requirements for documentation, permission and restrictions. They might be more or less strict, but I did not succeeded in finding period where whole Europe would allowed you to move and settle freely without some of that.

And even less the part "prior to a certain mentally challenged emperor deciding to ruin it all" where I really dont know who the original person means.

These talks about the beauty of brutalism are interesting stuff, but that's not how I remember it.

I remember communism - it is notorious for it - to be incredibly poor at allocation of resources, unquestionable bureaucrats that didn't need to explain anything, and mind-numbingly total disrespect of individual people.

It's the same in Prague - grandiose metro was built right under destroyed-by-neglect cultural heritage and starving people who were forced to steal bricks to build their houses.

Yes, and all of them take time to be put into motion. A lot of different parties will have to agree, including immoral profit-driven scum like Ryanair. That's what democracy looks like in practice; it ain't as pretty and orderly as a tyrannical dictatorship, where one guy says something and everyone complies right away.

All of that means it's early to complain about any lack of European reaction. In some areas there has been a strong response already, and it will likely get stronger in the next few weeks.
Quite enough so that I would know which one I prefer.
Thanks for pointing that out. The first part of my question was only rhetorical. I didn't claim that it was the result of my or anyone's professional journalistic endeavours. If that seemed like a "nationalistic flamewar comment", I sincerely apologise.

But the second part of the comment doesn't contain an iota of nationalistic element to it. It simply is a fact as reported by numerous newspapers and felt by many businesses here in Australia. The CCP is punishing Australian businesses as the Australian government is pushing for a proper investigation into a disease that originated in Wuhan and has killed (reportedly) close to a million people so far. In fact It's important to note that it's not a reflection on the people of China, rather the government. I'm happy to be downvoted, probably with nationalist intentions! But I haven't said anything wrong here.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration produced a report [1] with an inconclusive "Possible Causes" section. One thing I noticed there is that "the plotted location of the drill hole fell just within a mined-out section." I wonder if the drillers were using a map showing only the active galleries, though I would imagine that would have been mentioned if it came to light.

There are detailed maps and drawings of the mine works in this report. Also, there is a diagram [2] to be found in several places, apparently from Keller & Blodgett "Natural Hazards" (Prentice Hall.)

The history of defi can be traced back to mid-2013 (mastercoin) or earlier (colored coins).

And what the cool kids are calling “defi” today was called “appcoins” and “utility coins” several years ago. It’s all just marketing spin.

> It's indeed fair to say that bitcoin has completely failed in getting any adoption beyond speculation.

Digital gold is a euphemism for speculative store of value. Gold itself is a speculative SoV. For Bitcoin, that’s a sign of success — which is reflected in its market price.

There is not one single cryptocurrency on the market today which isn’t a speculative store of value primarily by real world usage. Rather there is Bitcoin which is upfront about this, and then there are other coins whose skilled sophists promote it as being something other than a speculative store of value as a hollow front. Peak behind the curtain and you’ll find a speculative store of value in 100% of cases, absolutely without exception. If anything has failed here it’s the moral compass of altcoin promoters globally, and investors for being so easily misled by hype entrepreneurs.

To clarify, it's the "surprisingly" part that is not true. Certainly the software is sophisticated. What is surprising is how often we think our modern software is "sophisticated".

I'm not saying either instance was right - I'm saying they are quite different kinds of wrong.

The Snowden story is plausible - but it's still hypothetical. And of course the same international community (of US allies) that would resist extraditing Snowden today, would protest if the US forced a plane between two other countries and full of their citizens to land in the US.

All that aside: the focus shouldn't be taken away from the fact that the real crime is arresting an opposition journalist/activist.

>An electric shock can lead to cardiac arrest for hours after it happened, with no prior warning.

That's common in the way shark bites and lightening strikes are common. Dropping dead hours after a minor electrical shock is so rare you shouldn't even be worrying about it.

>You should always see a cardiologist even if you feel completely fine.

It was included in your training so the company could cover its ass. By including a comically over the top warning and recommendation like that they are ensuring that statistically nobody will follow the training and the company will have leverage if you get hurt on their watch and sue.

It's a really shame that this kind of disingenuous ass covering behavior gets picked up and parroted by people as though it were honest advice because it moves the overton window and leads to a world where everyone acts like step-stools are a serious threat to public health.

Well, this is fine example of so-called "lie", plain and simple. You may mention it, and often it is being mentioned by all kinds of media. Things that really are frowned upon are highly controversial topics like alleged mass raping by the Red Army in Germany during WW2 . Other than that, no holds are barred, and things are discussed freely; I'd say hot topics are more frequent in Russian media than in the US one ; but clearly hotness and level of controversy is different in two blocs

gmail became a brand nearly immediately via initial scarcity of invitations. Hotmail and yahoo mail sounded like idiotic kid email addresses. Webmail never tried doing email. Pobox.com did only forwarding and was too linked to the physical mail in the mind of people. Same went for mailboxes.com.

The rosetta vs native vs 9900k vs 8559h graph?

The only game rosetta is beating native on is rogue squadron 2. Since Dolphin is a JIT, this seems to be a case of where Rosetta's JIT is smarter than Dolphin's in terms of which ARM instructions are chosen when converting from the Intel instructions than Dolphin when converting from the emulated PPC instructions.

Unless you're comparison is the 8559h and not the "native" bar. I mean, the 8559h is a mid range older Intel CPU and it's hard to understate how much Intel stagnated since Sandy Bridge (and especially since Skylake).
Why the downvotes? The Wikipedia link confers a degree of assumption of neutrality even though it reads exactly like the content in one of those `.cn` posts. So, why not go to the source.

That's interesting but I don't think it's anything like a conclusive answer on whether tardigrades can travel between habitable worlds on asteroids, meteors, comets, and other objects travelling through space.

Plenty of meteors break up in the atmosphere, with only small fragments reaching the ground at much slower speeds (significantly less than 825 meters/second by the time air resistance has decelerated them), and so the question then becomes what forces would they experience as the meteor entered the atmosphere and broke up, and could they survive those?

Sure, if you're talking about a large asteroid impact that reaches the ground, it may not be possible for them to survive, but most of the objects that hit earth's atmosphere are not large asteroids (e.g., bolides, potentially comets, etc.). Presumably, at least in theory, they could also carry frozen/sleeping tardigrades?
I am disabled and can't live without this medication as otherwise it makes pain unbearable. Some states don't recognise medical use and can imprison people who have metabolites in the system and are legitimate medical users.
Just because the catchment area of such law is slightly broader than targeting just the disabled, it does not mean these states are not anti-disabled if they prevent disabled people from use of medication.

He was a co-editor of the most popular Telegram channel, which people used to get the news and coordinate the protests. The protests (spanning dozens of cities and towns, hundreds of thousands people, lasting months) dealt a blow to ego of Lukashenko.

It is remarkable that Tsikhankuskaya, seen as winning the elections in August and now in exile, was taking the same route a week ago but he chose Roman to be abducted instead. Just shows how deeply he got under Luka skin and why there is zero chance for calls to release him to have any effect. He literally bet the future of country's civil aviation for petty revenge.
