Chinese social media giant Weibo's shares fall in Hong Kong debut
The image of the enemy has to be self-contradictory: it has to be both scary and fearsome ― to justify the defence spending ― but also feeble and laughable ― again, yo justify the defence spending: the intended mindset is "the victory is inevitable", not "let's just surrender immediately". You can see it everywhere, everywhen, it's a universal propaganda tactics since the dawn of mankind, rediscovered independently and I'd say even subconsciously.

And it's applicable even in non-military spending: a month ago some US newspaper (Bloomberg? WP? Don't recall exactly) managed, in the same article, accuse Russia both of a) it sells to much gas to Europe too cheap to make it dependent on Russia; b) Russia doesn't sell Europe enough of gas, it should ramp up the sales immediately. Yes, in different paragraphs, but it still kinda funny when you notice it. Or that one time when Biden simultaneously called everyone to double down on transfer to green energy, battling the climate change, and also demanded from OPEC to increase oil output and then even released 50 million barrels of oil from the reserves, because expensive oil is bad for economy, you know.

Not the OP, but it would have been interesting to see how well a plane like the F-35 handles ground-to-air missiles. My bet would be on the missiles, but maybe that's just a subjective take on my part (certainly not based on any concrete facts as I'm not an expert in this domain), but I'm thinking that if the Serbs of the 1990s managed to bring down a F-117 then the Russian technology of today (in theory much better up-to-date compared to what the Serbs had) should be quite a match for this plane.
A strong IT DEPENDS.

If you're not wired in yet, and can't easily get new jobs through your network, a cert or two that actually makes sense for what you want to work with, is probably not a negative.

However, seeing someone with a million certs and no job experience can lead people to think something along "Okay, if you're so great, then why don't you have a job already?" and dismiss you on grounds that something else must be wrong (or that you're just plain dishonest).

These companies and groups will attempt to destroy your reputation no matter what if you are not properly submissive. Whether they fire you or you resign. Or even when you stay with them.
The dollar is strong? Against what? It and all the other fiat currencies were losing their worth for decades.
The "investment" is the whole point of the F-35 program. Any military capability it provides is a distant second. We are lucky that it can (often) take off and land at all.

F-35 has subcontracts let in every state, making it organizationally impossible to de-fund. Another similar program is SLS.
It's like closed-source proprietary software. Installed by npm is a per-platform (linux-x64, osx-x64, win-x64, win-x86) binary execution file. The software license agreement is long and I'm not sure what is allowed.
I hope you realize that picking out only bits and pieces that fit your predetermined view is basically just reinforcing your personal biases, and not bringing you to see the bigger picture.

Though as long as someone doing that is impacting only that person - I don't mind.

However, I would appreciate if you didn't follow taking those bits and pieces you've selected. And then taking them out of context that I've said/wrote them in - re-combining them in ways that would bias others reading just your "curated" version.

That seriously bugs me because I reject the sentiment but it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy if overzealous individuals kill liberties left and right. Additionally to moral panics induced by irrational fears that is not to be underestimated. But a difficult and partially contradictory position for not falling into the same trap.
Just one: troll.
>>I think people who spend all of their time on one or two centralised platforms are bizarre.

I think you are missing the point. The rhetorical does not dictate what will actually happen. Crypto is a step ahead of regulators, in much the same way that uber was ahead of regulators. That allowed uber to blast through a global complex of taxi regulations. Crypto has/is similarly able to innovate outside of a handful of institutions.

That does not mean that it's unregulatable. Also, if both regulated and unregulated options exist... there's no reason to think that the unregulated one wins.
So fun story: I did something like this where the image was immutable. Due to a time-bomb type bug in the code, it created and killed hundreds (thousands?) of Azure VMs in the space of a couple of days. We never had to really pay for it above normal costs due to there always being the same number of running VMs.

Azure reached out though, and in so many words asked: wtaf are y’all doing and can you please stop?
> Though Turkey has a sizeable engineering capacity, it's not a rich country.

Well, to add a small clarification to this, you probably mean not rich compared to the US. Turkey, even with its current economic crisis, is still a top 20 world economy, a member of OECD and last I checked, just a couple steps behind Korea in GDP. You mostly don’t get to train and retain engineers capable of a world-leading drone program without some accumulated wealth.
I think there's a fundamental issue here that prevents us from reaching an understanding.

ANYTHING can be used as money. The systems that we currently have in place have lots of big problems, but "we" decided to use them and that's why they are popular. We could also decide to use a cryptocurrency as money, and it would be equally valid, and it would become our "money" - that bit is fine and I'm not arguing with it.

What I am commenting on, and what I am calling bullshit, is the cold hard reality of crypto - there hasn't been a coin invented yet that is anything but a ponzi scheme. Everything from bitcoin to ETH to dogecoin is just a scam to make some people rich, even if it started with good intentions(and I believe Bitcoin really was started with the intention to become a currency).

The second this changes, and we have a cryptocurrency that is actually used as money and not a plaything, I'll happily stop complaining about it.

Buying US hand me down weapons at inflated prices is basically paying for the US SaaS subscription fee: Security as a service.

It was the same in Romania when joining NATO. They bought a bunch of retired F-16s at inflated prices which pissed off the Romanian taxpayers and the Frech and Swedish governments, since for that kind of money, the Romanian air force could have bought more modern and brand new Dassault or SAAB fighters while also supporting the local EU economy, but instead, they spent the money to buy themselves tickets at the US-ally table (possible corruption and bribes involved as well, but that's pretty much the norm in all defense related purchases)

On HN just recently there was a post about the Navy and their wargames. The winning strategy had use for old-school tactics like radio silence, using motorcycle couriers, and signaling planes to start with lamps.

In such a highly dynamic situation, I think (some) meat-bags, mostly water, sitting in jets can be an extreme advantage if they are allowed to make decisions independently.
I agree, try to have the best of both worlds if possible. I also live near a smaller city/town with a population of ~10K, I live just outside the city limits and have watched the services expand out to my property. I am very happy to say that I just got a fiberoptic connection which has 400Xed my internet speeds, provided my with 4K television service and reduced my Satellite TV and LTE Internet bill by $75!

I can only imagine how much these new services have added to my property values, but I am certain it has made it easier to sell them if I chose to do so in the future. The smart play if You have the patience is to get "affordable" property on the fringes of a small city or town and benefit from it growing up around You. My property still doesn't have city water or sewer but expect that is coming in the near future, then the sub divisions will come, strip malls next, finally office buildings and condos....until eventually I'll pack up and move with my big bag of cash from selling and do it all again.

I was lucky to have had parents who did this also so when I was looking to relocate from the big city, I visited a number of smaller towns and when I found my current hometown, it reminded me of my childhood one from ~40 years earlier.

PS: Having a Walmart in or near the town if You are buying in is also a good thing IMO. I know lots of people feel they push out small businesses but IMO they keep the small town sharks honest and prevent gouging.
Things I Wish I'd Known About Bash (2017)
Early on in Rust's history, it had something similar to Go's goroutines with n:m green thread scheduling and libuv for async everything. Some other languages (e.g. Haskell/GHC) also have this kind of system.

But this practically requires some kind of garbage collection and a fat runtime.

I think it was a good decision on the Rust team to abandon this and go for a low level systems programming language. Otherwise it would've been just another Go-like language that isn't really usable in low level systems programming.

Implementing portable async language features without a fat runtime or garbage collection is novel work so it's no wonder that it's taking its own sweet time to reach maturity.
There is no fundamental limitation that would prevent the conversion of multiple IR photons into a single photon of some kind of visible light.

> I am open to government or industry backed crypto or digital currency

Then you don't understand the point of Bitcoin.

Any "government backed" crypto (also known as Central Bank Digital Currencies, or CBDCs) will be under the complete control of bureaucrats, much like how money currently is.

That means they can create as much of that money as they like to fund whatever they want.

That kind of monetary expansion is not possible with Bitcoin, which is entirely the point.

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts." - Satoshi Nakamoto

>The drones have a big problem in that they can be knocked out of communications with the ground support infrastructure using fairly cheap portable ECM equipment

What about autonomous drones? Can't you have AI piloted drones with ML models trained on thousands of hours of combat missions, where you just punch in the mission objective and the acceptable outcome/casualty levels, and it can decide for itself how to carry it out if communication is lost?

That feels terrifying but it does sound like where the future is going.
I'm sorry what? Can you explain all of those things??
You hit the nail on the head. There's a reason that the image https://149351115.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/202... exists in their survey. Seriously, 59% of developers would find a company unappealing if they couldn't access Stack Overflow?

Bitcoin isn't "private".

It's probably the most open and public money that has ever existed.

There's no company behind it, no CEO, no marketing team... it's just a protocol for a p2p network.

All the other "cryptos"? Sure, regulate them to death. I don't care. Good luck doing that with Bitcoin though.
Anyone else got opinion that some sites such as social media, calendar apps should have scheduled one day mandatory outage per year by law :-).

Even for 2013, this is not very good advice. fail2ban makes your iptables dynamic, which is a nightmare to audit.

This is what I do in 2021:

* Set up spiped[1] in front of SSH

* Install and setup nftables[2].

* Lock down every service as much as possible in systemd[3]. (If the service is built-in the distro, just use drop in files[4])

People don't need to personally audit the software they use or create their own security protocols. Software will emerge that has undergone audits from recognized software security firms and best practices will emerge for how to create personal security networks.

This is definitional for "the military industrial complex" -the most vivid example I have ever seen is manufacturers plates on the (now upgraded) Buenos Aires subway. The cars were made by an Argentinian airforce factory.

> This new fighter would not replace the F-35, but would instead be used in place of 4th generation fighters like the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

But wasn't the F-35 already meant to replace the F-16? As well as the F-15, F-18, A-10 and a whole slew of other planes? I guess this means they finally figured out that was unrealistic.

> The Air Force has already begun purchasing a slew of new old fighters in the 4th generation F-15EX, which will replace aging F-15 Eagles in the branch’s inventory.

So they're buying new F-15s now? That's a plane from the 1970s, right? That sounds like a testament of good those designs were, and how little has effectively improved in the 40+ years since then. I mean, obviously this new F-15 will have all the best new high-tech computer, radar, targeting gear that will probably also end up in the F-35, but the airframe is apparently still a solid design, as long as you don't need stealth and VTOL.

Skin, UI, I take your point, but the point being made elsewhere is not about the semantics of "skin", but the fact that the underlying browser runtime and renderer is not the same between iOS and other versions of browsers. You're unlikely to find a bug report that is caused by the UI of a browser, rather than the runtime.
Sort of. You can sell it but Ubi can just as easily blacklist any ID it feels like, preventing you from actually using anything you bought.

The World Inequality Report 2022
I have a Dell WD19TB too and it works great with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I have 2 monitors connected (a 1440p@240Hz and a 1080p@60Hz), keyboard, mouse, a Elgato video capture card and ethernet. The 1080p monitor gave some trouble though, I had to connect it to the usb-c port on the dock that supports daisy chaining.

The dock also works out of the box with the iPad Pro M1 (with some caveats, only the 1440p monitor outputs video, didn't try to use the Elgato card) and with my Dell Latitude running Ubuntu.

Ask HN: What does it take to build a browser from scratch?
I understand HN running away from Chromium based browsers but then they get disappointed with decisions taken by Mozilla. All of them say Firefox monetarily depends largely and is running on the mercy of Google; isn't designed clean and modularly like Chrome; is behind Chrome in implementing web standards, protocols and security features; has a consistently shrinking from an already small user base since a decade; puts in telemetry and ads, so eroding the trust of fans; won't listen to fans drawing importance to old, common and important bugs or feature requests but dumps cosmetic fluff for almost every major release; restricts facilities it had to form forks like sibling browsers; offers nothing unique compared to any other browser out there except maybe some addons.
Even websites recommend Chrome for running themselves "smoothly". The closest I hear from HN are Otter, LibreWolf and Qutebrowser but none of them are yet comparable alternative to Chrome. I don't know if it is possible to build a new browser from scratch that stands firm against Google in these times.

I don't mind a new browser with a stagnantly small and slow growing market share as long as the developer community is receptive. All I need is a browser without any hegemony and influence of any one over the decisions on the future of web. Android browsers or browser based apps will also follow suit once that happens. So will Desktop OS based web apps.

What should be the philosophy and approach to browsing internet? What should be the monetizing policy? How to ensure privacy and security?
Not to contradict you to the economic stability but Turkey is capable of having both an economic crisis and the economic and educational and manufacturing capacity to deploy innovative UAV. In fact, it's military spending might be propping up many parts of the economy.
