If Germany is meaning business, they'd stop buying any gas from Russia. Why would the means how it gets to Germany even matter?
My local health authority has frustrated me to no end for holding back data "because it may be misinterpreted." This lack of transparency is dishonest and while there are factions out there who twist data to meet their ends, there are plenty of independent researchers who collect this data and make trustworthy analysis.

Should there be a call for GAAP-like standards separating data collection, reporting, and interpretation to prevent single actors from manipulating it?
Interesting that you're suggesting you were given stupid/risky projects at work. For most of us, it's the boring stuff across the board. At any rate, did those realistically pose a risk for your future employment, or is it a symptom of feeling more conservative following financial insecurity (I've felt this myself)?

I have a bit of time I could reserve personal projects, as a means to bridge myself to more interesting things, but I usually don't bother with much. This becomes a source of pressure on myself. I see it as my only viable option for deviating from things as they are. I have to fight through fatigue and search through crumbs for sparks of interest.
Yes, it's that simple. Difficult is not impossible. Choice still exists. Meanwhile dress, hairstyle and name are not race, and race cannot be changed.

You're making extraordinary reaches to redefine words and concepts, which is another societal problem.
Look for 'pcre' on the label. Accept no substitutes and you'll be fine.
What weapons does China buy from Ukraine?

Edit: seems like Ukraine services weapons bought from Russia after relations soured with Russia over claims of China copying the technology. (https://www.mei.edu/publications/why-ukraine-secret-weapon-c...).

The traditional West isn't looking very good or strong at the moment. That started a very long time ago, and peaked with Trump and NATOs defeat by the Taliban and the incredibly botched retreat from Afghanistan. The EU started to look really bad with the revolutions in Northern Africa, because it was those regimes that kept the African refugees away from the EUs southern borders, and the EU could pretend to be both, totally open and pro human rights without having something hard to do for it. Once that Barriers were gone, the EU started to let people drown in the Mediterranean.

Agree that this is also somewhat of a test, how far can you go militarily against NATO before there is a severe reaction. Pretty damn far I'd guess. The tests have been done when it comes to money, buying legitimacy and freedom to do whatever you want as far as rich and repressive regimes are concerned. The Olympics, FIFA and others come to mind. As does whatever the Saudis are usually up to.

This behavior was always there, to some extend. When the freedom, pro-human rights West started doing the same shit during the war of terror, so, it gave carte blanche to everyone else.
How do people who write Clojure deal with lack of type checking?

And auto-complete when it comes to Java library interop?

I tried Clojure, to build a tool on top of a popular Java library that I was new to.

And compared to other JVM languages it was not good because there was no type-checking or intellisense/autocomplete popups for the methods.
Without being age specific, I've been boarding 20 years and also started later than most. No trips to the mountains as a 7yr old in my sedate family!

The most important thing you can do is get more time out on the mountain. When I was first learning I used some of my vacation time to take Friday's off from work to get to a relatively nearby slope (2+hours drive).

Remember as much as you want to go straight, do not ride completely flat - it is a good way to catch an unexpected edge and get tossed. Try to find a relatively wide blue run that is not a zoo and practice making and linking your giant "S" turns. As you get nearer the bottom you'll find that you naturally elongate them to maintain speed.

Also be aware there are two types of riding/turning - cross over and cross under, you can find examples on youtube. Cross under is used a lot by park rats and by those who never really learned or like making big turns. It can also be situational, ie if it is crowded. You should learn both methods.
China will buy gas but they aren't overpaying and have the leverage to not need to overpay to Russia.

Russia needs China more than China needs Russia.

>What's disappointing is the response of european leaders so far. They have prepared a sanctions package against Russia which won't include anything in the energy sector! If not energy then what, Matryoshka dolls? and we are supposed to take them seriously :-(

Oh yes, they will talk tough but will ultimately not do anything at all. Sanctions will target nothing intentionally.

I'm certainly not saying I believe it but the conspiracy theory goes... Putin, Xi Jinping, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel/Scholz, Jacinda Ardern, Eman Macron, Justin Trudeau, and Scott Morrison are allied against the USA. With some other smaller allies.

Biden's warnings about imminent war in Ukraine, I thought was warmongering. What US president hasn't war mongered since I've been alive?

A week ago I did not consider this to be anything but a conspiracy theory. The current state of affairs in the last week? I am open to listen to more evidence.

Regardless of the conspiracy theory, sure does seem everyone is about to dunk on the USA.

This is a part of the reason why I refuse to buy any of these televisions. I don't need to risk screenshots of my personal information being sent back to some manufacturer.

I would love to upgrade from the 10 year old dumb Sanyo to something with a better picture. But, a friend who's in AV install and TV resale did some digging and there aren't options out there to buy.

I'm hoping some larger monitors will come out and fill in this gap for somebody spec hungry like myself, but doubtful.

You're both wrong.

Combined cycle power plants can be 64% efficient [1] at turning heat into electricity. And if that power goes on to run a heat pump, 1 watt of electric power can deliver 3-4 watts of heating.

And modern gas combi boilers can be 92-98% efficient [2].

The days of people throwing away 80% of the energy they pay for are long gone.

Sonneborn ran also an article on this topic that currently the Gas is pumped from Germany back to Poland because Poland is buying on the spot market.
Disclaimer: I've met Wim and was one of his guinea pigs in this experiment [2]. The best proof I have for that is that I've claimed this for years on HN ;-) We trained for 4 days in Poland. The hardest challenge I did was climbing up a mountain in my shorts + shoes + socks for 2.5 hours at -7 degrees. I did not have frostbite in the end, none of us did. We did the Harlem Shake (that was a thing back then). I also asked a ton of questions to the researchers back then.

From what I've read, g-tummo is very likely not the Wim Hof Method. I've never trained with a monk claiming to know g-tummo. The son of Wim Hof loudly told me "The Wim Hof Method is not Tummo!" (almost a direct quote from memory, probably paraphrased). So I'd argue that back in 2014 or whenever it was, they were of the opinion it was something else. I'd be willing to bet they've never met a g-tummo monk either :)

A good medical YT vid on the WHM [1].

From my experiential point of view: the WHM doesn't warm your body, you simply don't get cold, nor do you feel cold (you're too high on adrenaline to have any normal sense of temperature). Sometimes I did feel a warmth boost, but that's not the main "working thing" behind his method. I use it whenever I need an adrenaline boost, or don't want to feel cold.

When is it handy or fun to get an adrenaline boost on purpose (my experience)?

1. When you have a headache (free painkiller when nothing is lying around)

2. When you're at a party (no drugs needed, the WHM is a drug in its own right)

3. When you're having sex (a lot of adrenaline kinda changes your personality a bit :) )

4. When you're cold

Women are allowed there, they have always been. For centuries. My great-grandmother was part of that, a long time ago, when her husband was sick. My grandmother was there when my grandfather was hiding from the leftists that wanted to murder him because of his right-wing ideology.

Women have always farmed here. Always.

Fishing in l'Albufera (the "lake" outside Valencia) was limited to men for a long time but there's a reason for that.

Same reason may other jobs and activities have been mean-only in many parts of the world, forever.

Survival of the species.

Men are expendable. Women are not.

Without children, civilizations perish. Women can have babies, men cannot. In order to protect them from danger, women have traditionally taken the most dangerous and exhausting jobs. Plain and simple. Go check all that heteropatriachate and woke arguments with that lens, you'll see how the actual reason of most of the men-only stuff is protection of women, which made a lot of sense until relatively recently because a sick or hurt woman was a dead woman because medicine was primitive. And this is and has been true for all of the world, even today in many regions in Africa, Asia and South America.
I feel like that's a pretty reactionary painting of the issue, but wanting large platforms to provide access through open protocols that have been in use for decades and have many accessibility and usability benefits really seems pretty much a no brainer for anyone reading Hackernews.
The second one.

On power loss the drives will immediately lose power, they have little capacitors in them that allow the head to safely rest on power loss. (it used to be that the head just crashed into the spinning platter, can you even imagine).

Part of the Server boot-up is to flush the raid caches, which are battery backed volatile storage. (and the batteries are fairly big so can last about 7 days in most cases).

The battery being big doesn't matter to the drives though, there would be no guarantee that you could finish writing the cache to the drives with the capacity of the battery: since drives use a considerably larger amount of power than keeping some DIMMs hot.
I think the main thing, is that this is a device that you bought in the EU that failed within the first 6 months.

This is legally guaranteed, that within the first 6 months any defects are assumed to have existed at the time of delivery [0]. If samsung don't respect the warranty, issue a chargeback. Your bank will back you up and Samsung have no leg to stand on.

(Also, samsung really shouldn't be playing silly-buggers here, but I guess enough people capitulate, that it makes sense for them to do this.)

> Those can be fine businesses, but they're not amenable to wiring $10m and getting back $100m 3 years later.

Sounds like classic Silicon Valley thinking. The defense market isn't made up of rational actors perfectly evaluating every possibility. It's made up of humans with a huge budget buying things which they really don't want to fail. That means one thing: Inertia.

You don't make the money on the initial contract. That's just your foot in the door. You make the money on the 10 years of consulting work and follow-up projects and maintenance and adjustments and updates that come your way because hey we used these guys last time and they seemed alright.

I did not avoid anything. Korea is nearer China's "centre of gravity" and has obviously had very close interactions and was indeed a vassal state of China at some point following invasion by the Mongols. But China did not really invade it the way Japan did and it does not detract to my point.

It's FUD to claim that China plans to invade its neighbours. Having a growing influence, sure, but it's quite different and they have along way to go before they can get even halfway to the level of control and influence the US have over many countries, for instance.
This is just a 3rd party service (not affiliated with HN) checking peoples HN profiles (which are public) for a unique string that the 3rd party service asks said user to set. It's a bit like how custom domains names are added to (for example) GSuite email.

As an application developer, you get no access to HN because the 3rd party service doesn't have any access to HN to begin with. It's all just a clever workaround to validate "ownership" of a HN profile.

However, having an editor that will engage with your work and provide expert feedback will make your work better, as well as save overall time.

It's not quality versus quantity - it's paying for expert assistance. This isn't cheating, mind you - it's something every one of us will do, given the option. However, wealthy institutions can pay for it, and other institutions cannot - that leaves the academic to either pay out of their own pocket (say, if they have a partner who is in our industry and can afford to), or go without.
Doesn't your linked article counter that argument? Both the head of Samsung and a former president of SK received prison time for bribery. That seems big.

> Maybe <input type=password-pake algo=opaque> rather than type=password.

That's not how OPAQUE (or similar things) works. You cannot, in fact, just drop this in and "slowly" change. You need an enrolment step where the server does not learn the password (but does end up able to ascertain whether the client knows the password), and from then on all clients must not reveal the password to the server. The sign-in process now needs a phase where the client has identified itself in order to receive parameters it will need to deliver live proof of having the credentials, so that means re-designing many single-step sign-in processes (e.g. username and password on same form)

And all the hard work is destroyed the moment either the user types their password in to a conventional web form, anywhere, or the server ends up actually storing passwords and not OPAQUE's "envelope" data, both of which are almost certain to occur if you try to introduce this "slowly".

The linked criticism of SMF [1] suggests that the author tried really hard to use the XML-based declarative configuration. I'm pretty sure that the things he accomplished with those commands are straight-forward <dependency> and/or <dependent> elements in the appropriate manifest. Like with systemd that came later, a sysadmin can copy a system-provided manifest from /usr/... to /etc/..., modify it, then apply it to get the new configuration. That being said, some higher level tooling would be helpful, and many SMF users [2] [3] developed such tools.

I was a lead sysadmin of a thousand or so Solaris 10+ systems for about 5 years (2005 - 2010), then a Solaris developer for a few years before I ventured into SMF commands like "delpg". I'm pretty sure it wasn't until I was doing some work on the intersection of zones, install, and SMF (sysconfig, sys-unconfig, and related manifests) that I felt I even needed to have that level of understanding.

In 2003, while I was studying in a cinema college program, me and my friends gained access to the maintenance corridors between the walls of the school in order to make an horror movie. We discovered a large unused area with a table, a couch, a television powered on and directly connected to a single hidden camera pointing at the corridor on the other side of the wall, but not recording.

We went back the next year and everything was still in place, the TV powered on, but everything covered with dust.

I assume someone (a lazy employee?) was using this place to relax, but wanted to check if someone was coming up. Maybe that employee was fired without anyone ever discovering his hidden refuge.

Townsend (the artist) was ultimately caught, but I figure there must be thousand of these hidden spaces scattered in every big buildings, and we will never hear about them.
None of what you posted is serious criticism of UBI.

> Prices rise due to increased consumer spending capability, to the point where you have to work again to get above the poverty line.

Governments will respond to economic factors that diminish purchasing power in order to maintain the effectiveness of UBI, as a part of UBI.

> Any realistic UBI is too low for people with special needs

Diminished support for disabled or sick people is not a part of UBI. UBI should become a part (within or on top of) of their support. Bureaucracy will still be diminished for non-disabled people.

> If the UBI is independent of local cost-of-living, it'll most likely be too low to survive on it in high COL areas

So people in those areas will have to have jobs. UBI still allows them to go quit their job and move out to the country if they want to subsist on it. UBI would go nicely paired with rent controls and maintaining individual purchase power, but it doesn't even need those things to be a net positive.

UBI should have been implemented 20-40 years ago, it will surely be necessary going forward, it's time to get on board.

I can absolutely believe that there is rampant ageism in tech, but if you don't mind my asking, is it possible part of the difficulty you faced in finding a new job just stemmed from your skills getting a little stale?

I certainly missed that, thanks for the illuminating me.
