> The norther part of Rus escaped the Mongol devastation because if was unimportant backwater. There was nothing there to "interrupt".

That's nonsense. Nothgorod was the most important center maybe just after the capital.

The reason it was not directly destroyed is likely weather, swamps and smart politics by the merchants.

They still came under mongol rule anyway.

> Rurik is a legendary figure. Who are these people who are "still around" claiming to be Rurik bloodline? Sound funny as hell.

What is understood to be the case that the Kieven'Rus were a mix of Northern vikings/traders and local Slavic population. And those people would certainty still be around. However there was clearly much immigration as well. Russia had a policy of that at points in its history.

Vikings settling in locations and founding cities that then grow is really well established all over Europe where there was not a strong local resistance.

The cities founded by Rurik or whatever you want to call those Northern people are the cities that made the core of Kieven'Rus all across those river systems.
> But now that English is trendy for the past thirty years after the USSR collapse—all the way to using branding in English on signage and advertising—often English pronunciation is almost unchanged, as much as it's possible.

Now that you mention it, that's exactly what happened with Greek too. Branding used to be Greek, then sort-of-foreignified Greek (eg Greek words with a foreign suffix) and now just English.

> first letter isn't even the voiced ‘z’ in Russian, but a ‘ts’,

That's probably because of the German pronunciation, no?

You are willing to pay hosting fees. But do you pay for Gmail, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and a whole host of other platforms that the majority of the population uses?

Remind me how companies that have billions of users pay for it? How many people are going to visit your website compares to theirs? How much do people like you contribute to the entire revenue stream?

The creator economy is tiny compared to these platforms.
I agree that the whole thing is horribly broken. The two party system, the gerrymandering, the legalized bribery of congresspeople, the influence of the media in deciding who's going to participate in debates, ...

The list goes on and on.

Interestingly enough I'd imagine you could take a conservative republican from the 80s and he would despise the GOP in today's shape as well.

I am not from the US, but for me condemming the way the Republicans conduct themselves is actually something I would expect anybody who cares about democracy to do in the current state of affairs. They had the choice to change their policy to adapt to a shifting demographic environment – instead they chose to change the rules, change who is allowed to vote, ignore a coup attempt, throw democracy under the bus, all while stoking violence and anger.

I live in Germany and the way US party politics read today remind me very, very much about what I learned and read about the fall of the Weimar Republic. The situation is nothing to joke about, it started with treating Trump like a king and then you realized that really a lot in US politics depends on the will of those in power to honor convention. The institutions saved your asses this time, but they won't be able to do it once more. Where is the bold, free democracy that "denazified" Germany after WWII?

Even those who say I am exaggerating here – imagine where the US would have been today if they managed to "hang Mike Pence", "kill Nancy Pelosi". What would that then have done with the way Trump dealt with the situation? Would he have distanced himself from the mob? Or would he have been emboldened? Maybe the military would have had to remove the guy from office? Maybe that in turn would have lead to a civil war?

In my eyes it is legitimate to have conservative ideas about how society should be, but this is not conservativism, it is fascism.
The document made public also stems from antitrust proceedings. I don't know enough about US legal to comment on the way these companies bring their case, though.

> now the Internet (starting with Craigslist) destroyed their monopoly & greatly lowered classified rates by its sheer size. This would have happened, and indeed already did, without Google or Facebook existing

It is one thing to accept that your position has been challenged by a new technology. But it is another thing that this new techology is monopolized by a single actor, which apparently uses any fraudulent way it can imagine to abuse market participants. While we can agree that newspapers were bound to suffer from new media (they already did when radio and TV appeared), they still deserve protection from fraud and abusive monopoly power.

It was also an ironic commentary on the overreach of addiction metaphors to encompass everything that existing social structures, especially established structures of productivity and wealth extraction, found disruptive.

In that sense, the advent of "internet addiction" as a frame of reference was also part of the internet moral panic, which itself was just another iteration of all technology panics that have accompanied every shift in communication technologies, including the TV, movies, radio, novels, and book printing (which was the original fake news panic).

So, grain of salt.

Their apathy is to be condemned, it is the same logic applied to weapons manufacturers for decades now.

The mistake was to make yourself dependent on such platforms. Some very special people with challenges in their lives will call that victim blaming now, but it is important to understand this to not let it happen again.

Whole economies in third world became dependent on the infrastructure of one company. This is pretty dangerous for any minority.

But the solution is also not to criminalize "hate speech". That is even a worse idea than using Facebook in the first place. It will just make issues worse for everyone. It will be used against the Rohingya. Even more than using Facebook to make people identifiable in the first place

Where's the proof the 2016 election was rigged, which Democrats have repeatedly claimed?

You should have lawsuits won by DNC lawyers proving the illegitimacy of the election, right?

Where's the proof? Extraordinary claims (like denying the results of elections) require extraordinary evidence, of which you haven't provided.

Democrats' claims are on the same level as Republicans' 2020 conspiracy theories. It's even worse because they claim moral superiority on the issue of election rigging claims, when they did it 4 years earlier on a huge scale.

The NAT traversal logic here is really basic and won't hold up well in practice.

A good chunk of NAT devices will pick external port based on [src ip/port, dst ip/port] combo, not just [src ip/port], so "WAN IP/port" you get from STUN will get you nothing useful. Not by itself.

STUNs should be used for discovering the pattern in NAT port overloading logic and then using it to predict which port your peer will use towards you if you were to try and connect now.

That is, you need to know the overloading pattern and then also time stuff correctly.

For that reason you will need a rendezvous server and it's also the best to let the server drive the whole process (as opposed to what STUN-based setups do, which is to let clients do it).

PS. In my past life I made a P2P VPN called Hamachi, which used all this stuff very extensively.

These are the planes that the military builds when in peacetime controlled by vested interests.

In a real war there would be a much sharper focus on building planes that can fight and win. But that what the enemies of the US are already doing and it’ll be too late for the US when it needs the right planes.

The US is focused on building complex overly technology focused boondoggle machines that take far to long to design and build and cost too much and underperform.

It’s a robot war future anyway.
I do think there is at least one problem that crypto currencies solve better than the status-quo: sending money internationally.

It has less regulation than the official channels. Can have better privacy. Can be cheaper. Can be faster. Compared to Western Union, international wire transfers and the likes, sending money home for foreign workers (remittance), seems to be much better with Stellar, or other low-fee crypto currencies.

Maybe one more problem that it solves: I bought some crypto early on as a hedge against global politics going to shit (US, Russia or China going into proxy wars) or economics taking a dive (and governments/central banks deciding to devaluate, ...).

I totally agree with you on NFT's though. And I don't like the speculation/gambling aspect of crypto currencies.
Indeed. (spoiler following) The plot basically revolves around SC manipulating both Gurgeh and the Empire of Azad in an ever bigger and complex game than the one in the book. Given how Banks describes the Minds in other books it would be extremely curious if they wouldn't crush any biological player in any normal game the same way chess computers crush humans these days. But, it is possible that a more limited mind like the security drone could be outstripped by Gurgeh. In one of the other books they do mention that "smaller" machines like environmental suits and small drones get more limited minds than full starships as it would be cruel to put a fully capable Mind in such a limited body.

Is it a surprise that drugs induce chemical changes that affect perception, sometimes permanently? I've always wondered what is it isn't that it shows you something that makes people almost universally come to the same conclusions about reality.. what if it just flips a switch?

The similarity in thought I see among different users of psychedelics is just so big. Why should it be a surprise that it's chemical? Opiates can flip a switch in your brain that makes you way more habituated than a natural stimulus with the same level of pleasure(ie heroin users will say they don't like it any more they like spending time with their kids, but still will neglect their kids to do heroin because they can't say no). Marijuana can trigger latent psychological issues in those who are at risk. Maybe psychedelics pushes some switch that makes people think differently, even if they're aware of it and trying to convince themselves otherwise?

Yes, but the source of that is not the symptom.
Yes but modern beyond visual range missile might do the same to current stealth platforms so one could argue that fighter jets as a whole is becoming obsolete for a lot of the missions that defines the air force as a separate branch.

Where you still want a pilot in the loop is in A-10 territory where the role is to fly low and slow and work directly with local infantry commanders, and this means sustaining some level of damage mostly from "primitive" optically tracked weapons rather then last-gen long range radar tracked missiles.

I.E. what you want is an cheap to operate, replace and train for plane that can be deployed in large numbers from forward bases. a role currently filled by army operated drones who is extremely vulnerable to "electronic warfare" in a way that a piloted plane wont be.
Ask HN: Anyone here uses imac27 retina as external monitor for mac mini?
Hi HN,

my current setup consists of 2x imac27 retina sitting next to each other. I use Barrier (a software KVM) to switch mouse/keyboard between those. It works well for my need and is an inexpensive way to get a 2x 5K monitor setup (total cost: 2100 EUR)

I am considering getting a M1 mac mini and use my 2 current imac27 retina as external monitors. My plan is to get a cheap small monitor for the mac mini, then use Barrier to use the imacs as external monitors.

Anyone here has gone that route?
I second this, it was excellent. I've only read a few Banks books, but this was my favorite.

Sorry, to explain the joke. The ships name themselves, and when they pick jokey names they're often mocked by the humans (which are in every way essentially ants to the spaceships) for not having enough gravitas. So the ships start naming themeselves things like the "Death-ray 9000 super-killer deluxe", to essentially take the piss.

Funnily enough you can see the exact same effect in principal game-engineers or computer-hacking.

Are there any common guides/standards for returning error messages from network-based APIs (REST, RESTful, RPC...), perhaps some kind of generic schemas?

Show HN: Lightest weight charts that look great on mobile
Hello HN,

I started bubblesjs to create fast lightweight charts that could be used in places where page load time is critical like journalistic sites, ex. New York Times.
bubbkesjs is < 20KB gzipped and supports a varity of charts and widgets.
Check out some of the examples or data stories to see it in action.

I think there is a space in the data visualzation market for light weight charts.
There are a number of players or enterprise charting but those libraries are too heavy usually

Would like to know the communities thoughts on this.
