The pipelines, and other trade, operated without a glitch during the later years of the cold war. It's not unrealistic for that to continue, as both parties would probably prefer.

I'm also getting the sense that the reliance on Russian natural gas is somewhat overstated at times. Only about 1/3 of the gas supplies of Europe come from Russia. That's a lot, but it is not unthinkable to compensate for in case it is lost. Between increasing local production, replacement with other fuels, or improvements in energy efficiency, it would be annoying but doable. For Russia, however, it would be financially devastating both in the short term as well as into the future, since Europe as a market would be lost for good once they achieve independence of this fuel source.
FlashFXP was the most used client in the late 90s Warez scene because of the easy implementation of fxp. Private internet was still 56k or up to 128k with ISDN. Most of the scene ftp sites were hosted in universities. You transfered files from the US to a local university went into the library and downloaded it on a drive. What a trip down memory lane.
In what way does an airdrop pump the price? If anything it should be the opposite. Now Coinbase voting at all and showing involvement with a project might pump it but that wouldn't be because there's an airdrop.

'Catch'? Is that how Tchaikovsky himself saw it? (Didn't see much support for this in the article.) It seems a really neurotypical point of view.
Opinions on Not Having a Degree
Hey,

I've been a software engineer for around 6 years now and am a tech lead. I sometimes have anxiety about not having a degree, worrying that the day may come where I will get stuck in terms of advancement or changes in the market will not allow me to get the jobs I want.

I'm an autodidact and dislike formal learning environments, and also don't want to put my life on hold to go do a degree, but sometimes I feel a bit like Mike Ross in Suits and become worried that my future isn't stable.

What are your opinions on this?

This comes off as venting/entitlement. I feel like I'm increasingly seeing these articles from high income families that are now frustrated that the things they took for granted (day care, schools, etc) now are more limited. There are families who home school their children, have stay at home parents, there are children who are chronically ill outside of COVID and that's a hell of a lot worse than 10 days quarantine. What this author is venting about is already the reality for many, many parents for a long time and you don't see them writing articles like this.

If you're signing up for parenthood, you're signing up for the world you introduce your child to. You're signing up for your child becoming sick, or even dying. You're signing up for your children being exposed to war, famine, climate change, and so on.

That doesn't mean that this author's suffering is invalid but too many people have children hastily without thinking of what that really entails and what you are really signing up for.

Americans used to all get the same news from the big 3 TV networks. That's very different now. Not only are broadcast TV news stations more or less party propaganda for one party or another, but many other news sources are even more divisive.

There are strong arguments that the change in media since that time has led us to and/or fuels the division in the US over all kinds of issues.
And you can be pretty sure it will be back, inevitably.
I'm reasonably good at computers, and I even have a small understanding of electronics and radio, but I bought a HackRF One about 6 years ago, and every time I try to use this stuff I get hopelessly lost. Most of the time I can't even get the software running, or figure out which software I need to get running, and when I do I'm hopelessly lost. The only thing I ever managed was to listen to an FM radio station with a program that simplified the interface down to a frequency slider.

I would love to do things like investigate how my water meter broadcasts its readings, but "latent" doesn't even begin to cover how inaccessible this stuff is. There are "tutorials", but they just say "Stick these parts together. There, now you have stuck these parts together!" (https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Simulation_example:_Narr...)

I know, open source, I should learn everything and then write better documentation.
I submit that unbiased journalists don't exist, and further, that what one expects from a journalist is a detailed analysis from an expert's point-of-view; both of these things imply bias. To make matters worse "pure" factual accounts (e.g. AP feed) are biased insofar as they remove fact from context.

Of course, it's worth knowing what the journalist's biases are, but I think this apparent quest for pure objectivism is misguided.
I'm also optimistic, and I think starting with one of these porting processes often leads to an interesting set of yak shaves. I've been following the progress of the most active NixOS developer:

I saw a thread on Twitter regarding the expected pressure spike that should be happening shortly in Southern Algeria as the pressure waves converge from opposite directions at the antipode of the volcano. Thought that was pretty interesting.
Every now and then we get a thread here asking people for their most controversial or unorthodox beliefs, and it's almost entirely conservatives thinking their belief in only two genders or racial realism is somehow radical. Even most conspiracy theorists are tediously mainstream - ranting about globalist elites and Marxists and how COVID was engineered and everything is manufactured consent blah blah blah.

Many people believe themselves to be more radical and iconoclastic than they are because those beliefs tend to be nurtured in reality bubbles which assume the rest of the world to be far more rigidly dogmatic than it is.

I feel you completely on the natural immunity part.

As someone who contracted the original variant less than 2 months before I was eligible for the vaccine, I've dealt with a lot of harassment for simply citing vastly superior studies with sample sizes of millions of human beings out of Israel and Qatar that clearly indicate that natural immunity is very robust, although not ideal for senior citizens who should absolutely be boosted.

As a person who was deeply influenced by reading catch-22 as a high schooler, it's been shocking to see people who share my political values line up to worship at the feet of massive bureaucracies of the powerful.

Recently the fixation on piously taking the viruses seriously as possible in very performative ways has reminded me of the loyalty oath and catch 22:
“Every time they turned around there was another loyalty oath to be signed. They signed a loyalty oath to get their pay from the finance officer, to obtain their PX supplies, to have their hair cut…”

In this case, the loyalty oath is rigorously getting tested as soon as you feel a sniffle and getting boosted over and over and over again, despite most of these people being young and healthy.

I recently had an encounter with a woman who was arguing rather aggressively with me because she found out that I don't support mandating the vaccine for people. As the conversation went on, I discovered that unlike me she refuses to get annual flu shots because she had a family member get very ill from one at least from the family's point of view. I pointed out the blatant hypocrisy here and she refused to engage in any further discussion. They're all hypocrites who want to force their current opinion about things on others, not recognizing that the same mechanism will one day be used against their own unpopular decisions.

I believe it’s considered a durable offence to give out secret information at Apple. Similar, with few exceptions, Apple employees are not allowed to contribute to open source projects.

Unless you're in the upper levels of management (VP equivalent or higher) at FAANG, it's difficult to get this salary at a market rate. For the vast majority of mere mortals, you need to get an above-market rate to achieve this. And this requires taking on more risk.

The least risky way is to join a pre-IPO, VC funded company after it's at least past Series D round, and get a significant equity package that is equivalent to at least 2-3x the same pay at a FAANG company.

Then be patient, wait for an IPO or acquisition. Note this could be years. And during that time you won't get any liquidity (like a FAANG employee would).

Depending on length of time, this could result in several years of above market pay (through stock which continues to vest post exit), or a one time big payout that averages to more than $1MM/year. Note that depending on tax treatment (ISO versus RSU), that could reduce your after tax payout.

Other options would include starting a company or joining even earlier stage (before the Series C). But then the time horizon for an exit can go up, and the risk also increases as many times the equity gets heavily diluted or the cap table is adjusted significantly to make room for later stage investors.
per 'defund the police' being extreme, here's a story. living near Pitt in 1981. iiuc, Reagan defunding forced the local psych hospital to empty out. So now we had a bunch of patients with psychiatric disabilities living homeless in the neighborhood, and my understanding is that they needed to stay close by the hospital in order to get daily meds. Of course this resulted in more police involvement, and though I don't have the proof, the common sense reaction would be to allocate more officers to the zone. I'll bet the officers in the street weren't thrilled.

end result : mental health funding decreased and police funding increased.

So my understanding of 'defund the police' is to reverse what happened in that and many similar situations
How God of War was brought from Playstation to PC
You're reading a lot into my comment that has nothing to do with what I'm saying, and you're doing an obscene amount of reductive generalization of "people who can't get their shit together". FWIW I am very successful personally and professionally, I was just trying to be honest that my internal landscape is not always perfect and it turns out that's not a showstopper or something I need to beat myself up about.

If you feel that's empowering losers or whatever, feel free to continue your judgement of them. I am not here to tell anyone what will work for them, we're all individuals so YMMV.

Isn't Russia always prepared for war?

I don't think the concern is some sort of cold war era major offensive where Russian tanks storm forward and take territory. The modern approach seems to be stirring up local trouble/guerrilla warfare/slow escalation/bringing in some (elite?) forces to bear locally to make progress. Generally with some local support.

If the author's point is something along the lines of Russia isn't set up right now for a major offensive to conquer the entire Ukraine in a week that's sort of a moot point I think? They don't need that to completely destabilize things, saw some chaos, and eventually in the medium term take over without resorting to a full scale attack.

There's plenty of examples of Russia being able to shift resources around pretty quickly. How much does it really take to destabilize Ukraine to the point where they'll get invited in?
I feel like it isn't a problem now, question is if it's likely to ever become an issue later on (e.g. a sudden shift in the market to not recruit without a degree that would effect even experienced developers). I may just be paranoid in thinking about this.

I have three cameras that I use - a Canon R5, Canon FT QL, and a Zenza Bronica S2A.

The first one is a joy for many reasons and I use it for the things the later two can't do very well - action and very low light. However, the later two offer an incredible experience to shoot. They're not forgiving, and film gives you a hazy look that is still poorly reproduced by software.
I wish more people made this distinction. Despite endless debates over "cancel culture" I can't think of a single shocking idea that's come out of it, it's just endlessly recycling old ideas.
If I spent 10hrs a day for 365 days in a row I wouldn’t get through my backlog (easily way over 500k photos), but that’s not really the point. I don’t need to process and post every photo I take, many are either just for me or alternate takes that I might want someday. Looking through photos I took 10 years ago is one of my favorite activities and I often find hidden gems that I had dismissed before in the moment when originally gone through.
The writer is far more knowledgeable than me, and it seems he believes there was no major decline related to the fall of Rome, the traditional "Dark Age" story is false, etc. I should take him more seriously since he knows a lot more, but it seems clear that there was a catastrophic fall in science, technology and living standards with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The effect was felt as far as my ancestral land of South India where there was a massive de-urbanization and fall in trade in the 5th century. I do not understand why it is in fashion to deny this decline, and nothing in this blog makes a compelling case otherwise.

Because fungi are some of the oldest terrestrial organisms on the planet. Today they often enjoy shade and humidity, but at the time there was melanin and other UV blocking chemicals, or wearing other organisms as a hat (lichen).

Looks like you're implying HN hasn't already "brainstormed" / thought about what you're asking.

> Hacker News is unbelievably closed minded ...

Consider this instead: you asked a question that has been debated many, many times over — to the point of nearly everyone here being tired of the same old debate — and you come in now pretending to be the first one raising this topic, and when you're inevitably shunned, claiming "oh, look, you guys aren't even open to discussing it!".

Baseless ageism and mis-attribution. I'm far below the age of 35. There's plenty of people on HN above the age of 35 that are wholeheartedly on your side. You're only doing yourself a disservice — and signalling a clear lack of good-faith — when you make remarks like this.
Most anarchists don't recognise anarchocapitalism as a legitimate form of anarchism because anarchism is against coercive hierarchy and capitalism is inherently coercive. Plus a real life ancapistan would inevitably devolve into feudalism.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I know that these last two years have been rough for me. It's not something I feel every day, but when I pause and look back, I see that I'm in a worse shape than two years ago. I still derive most of my pleasure from helping people close to me, this hasn't changed. But I have a hard time finding pride, pleasure or something like that in my day to day work. Maybe it's the disconnect between me and the users (I work for a relatively large SAAS company), maybe it's me losing empathy for strangers due to isolation, I don't know.

His point is the (apparent) lack of supply activities to the air force depots. No modern warfare would be waged without air support, so they _have_ to prepare over there. Overall, a quite reasonable point to make.

But you could hide it really really well, the information about these preparations could be known by lots of people and we, the readers simply be oblivious to it. Overall, I agree with the thesis, but not the conclusion.

Show HN: DEXbot - The sidecar to your cryptocurrency wallet
Hey everyone!

After 6 months of building and iterating, DEXbot has finally launched. DEXbot is a decentralized application that acts as a sidecar to your cryptocurrency wallet, allowing you to automate selling your tokens 24/7. DEXbot has cross chain compatibility and works with any EVM compatible blockchain, side-chain or Layer 2.

Users can configure token settings like the amount of tokens to never to sell below, what price to never sell below, the minimum amount of tokens to sell during a transaction, the maximum amount of tokens to sell during a transaction and more! DEXbot takes the legwork and emotions out of selling your tokens so that you don't have to keep an eye on the charts.

DEXbot is designed to sell tokens without a negative impact on the token price by monitoring key stats and taking token health into consideration. DEXbot only sells directly after a buy transaction, allowing you to sell as the price goes up and without affecting the token health. This is great for whales as well as token developer/marketing wallets that are focused on keeping the token price healthy and growing.

Users can connect any cryptocurrency wallet (even cold storage wallets). DEXbot allows a user to connect multiple wallets at a time through a single client application, allowing you to automate as many wallets as you want across any supported chain.

We are extremely focused on security and that is why we open sourced the DEXbot Client Application and have checksums for every release. You can check out the source code and even compile the application binary yourself if you prefer. We built the client application so that is easy to read with comments on every line so even if you are not a developer, you can read through the code. To use DEXbot, a user will need to enter their private key on their local machine but it is very important to note that DEXbot never retrieves, stores, transmits, or logs your private key. The DEXbot application is local to your computer, has no persistence and all data is destroyed after the program is terminated.
