Thank you. I was wondering if there was a term for this. It is, in my opinion, the most caustic force across public places of discourse today. Humans seem to have an overriding need to "balance the books", perhaps to avoid conflict with their peers or presume logical conclusion must hold two sides in equal reverence. There is nothing fair about this rape of a country, no feebly concocted realpolitik to soberly justify the murder of hundreds and soon thousands of people who want to live free of an abusive parent.
there are /some/ intricacies to DDoS, it's not all just "build a botnet and send packets". DNS amplification[1] is a good example of a non-straightforward augment, and there are all sorts of funny ideas people have that make it difficult to mitigate a dedicated attacker. the issue is that it's mostly (s)kids renting out botnets and spamming video game servers with layer3 packets.

principled move?

Which principles were they following? the principles that made it OK for 8 years, or the principles were they decided to side with Russia's agressions once the real invasion started.
docx/xslx are open formats.

About psd, yes, that's proprietary. What government agency mandates its use for the public to interact with them? (genuinely asking, not being snarky)
Energy is huge. The world will likely spend the equivalent of approaching a quadrillion dollars over the next century on energy. The Apollo program, in comparison, was less than a rounding error.
Electric heating, oil heating and so on. Not sure if the grid would cope with such a load, but there are always options.

Another option is just to give up with your kind of argument, and pay up Russia. That's looking increasingly like shooting our own foot in long term. The idea he will stop and be happy just with Ukraine is dangerously naive and ignore his own steps and statements.

If this won't be a wake up call in Europe then nothing will. Ramp up military budgets (I hate the idea, but that's how you deter bullies and we have one greedy fucker right now next door), and prepare infrastructure for withdrawal of anything russian. Long term that's good for Europe and world too.
It's incredible how much press coverage it gets a startup when raising VC funds compared to a startup growing in revenues/profits.

The Complete Guide to Convert Python Notebook into an Interactive Web App
I have no knowledge in this field but why not try opening new accounts and see if anything changes? Someone with your logins could have messed with it? Maybe it’s linked to your IP or phone ad ID?
Ten to fifteen years ago, computer vision was already fingerprinting video with landmark detection (SIFT, region segmentation, Canny edges, biomimetic color correction---or simply converting to grayscale). It helps that you'll almost always have a unique audio stream that closely tracks the video stream which can also be fingerprinted and time-scaled and/or time-shifted.

It's likely they're already doing machine learning. Why wouldn't they? With what essentially boils down to content recommendation as a way to increase ad viewership targeting an audience likely to have short site visits, wildly different tastes and habits, and a constant influx of new users and new videos, they probably already fingerprint videos (and users) as a method to immediately link new users and new videos to an existing pattern maximizing ad revenue.

Another questionable method which might cut down on abusive/unlawful behavior would be shadowbanning offending uploaders once you have a reliable fingerprinting method. Upload a video that's close but not exactly matching a fingerprinted video? Thanks, here's the URL. Privately, we're not adding it to the index for anyone outside your subnet until someone can manually verify the two streams are unique. It's probably even possible to spoof the view count and other properties based on similarly fingerprinted clips, so only the people who make a living from aggressively reuploading are aware of the shadowban.

As a bonus, if such a fingerprinting/shadowbanning combo cuts down massively on casual/bot/opportunistic reuploading, the people who continue to modify the video _and_ audio stream enough to bypass the filter could be (just a theory) more likely to be malicious/abusive, and these are the people you definitely want to exclude from your community
Nothing makes me believe that, why would I do that? That's why I ask you to clarify your question, it does not make sense from my point of view.

>In Germany we come to work at 9am, we work until 4pm with a 15 minute break for lunch

45 minute is the usual break in Germany, who can eat lunch in 15 minutes? Usual workday is 8h work + 45 min break. So 9-17:45 would be usual. Or 8-16:45. There are people in union jobs with 35h work week though, that work one hour less, but if they go in at 9 they stay until 16:45.

If you work over 6h in a day you have to do a minimum break of 30 minutes by law.

So in your example I guess Americans stay 1:15h longer per day than what is normal in Germany.
I'm in Denmark, with ENG (US) as language, and I'm getting the speech.

I like the speech, but I would also like to see your software.

I don't see how these are comparable.

If the Iraq war had happened today, would you be able to use the same arguments for patreons who collect money against the British and US invaders who used imaginary WMD[0] as pretext?

I believe it is very clear that it is impossible for legally operating institutions to collect funds for wars without direct governmental involvement or blessing as these are complex matters that you don't want to end up on the wrong side when things settle. The Iraqi WMD were found to be imaginary much later, not at the time of operations and in this alternative timeline, Patreon could have ended as the company that facilitated the collection of funds for WMD operators.

It's very different from facilitating the collection of funds for creation of weapon related media. No person in right mind would want to be involved in collecting funds for armed conflicts unless actively takes sides.

Even humanitarian aid is risky as it is often used as a cover for military operations, so you will need solid guarantees - preferably from the state actors that you are abiding with.

I mean, this is like saying that anyone who makes an income on Patreon can't buy guns with said income...
Or if your friends all have WinZip and can tolerate .zipx (which is a file extension for later and thus less interoperable version of ZIP), it does support JPEG recompression so it can be actually better than RAR.
Trump campaigners and other alt-right types don't like Patreon due to prior disagreements; they literally founded an alternative platform with a parody name, to avoid it -- Hatreon.
There is a difference to funding a gun blog or shooting-focused YouTube channel, versus training army personnel and buying guns for them.
>that they force onto drivers as mandatory ethanol.

Is that because of some clean energy policy?
Signal is subject to the same warrants. And yes, because the OP is specifically talking about privileged attacks. Why would it matter if the database was plaintext? It's only a problem if your adversary has privileged access to your device, either physically or via an exploit.

So Signal's "encrypted" database is literally marketing. It doesn't prevent anything. Cellebrite can access it, as can another app with the right series of zero days.

Signal's encrypted database is as secure as Telegram's plain text database, because both require privileged access, and Signal isn't more secure (the encryption has been pwned by multiple companies).
In the UK Uber provides insurance during drivers' work, I wouldn't be surprised if the policy is just suspended/doesn't apply during war. Which would mean asking drivers to accept the risk personally, self insuring or finding another insurer. All seem impractical.
Ukraine resists for 8 years straight. How many years you need to accept that Ukraine is stronger than RF?

I have my suspicions that a few of them believe the opposite.
A shell on a Mac is the "we have x at home" meme to me. Very frustrating.
What the fusion research community has instead is people who have committed their careers or even lives to a particular field. Getting them to admit they made a mistake is very hard. What did Upton Sinclair say? "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Most of them will rationalize as hard as they can for as long as they can.

You sometimes see bitter comments when they are approaching or are in retirement.
It is quite interesting that after reading a single paragraphs I know I am reading Ralph Linus without knowing anything else.
> why not police the countries themselves?

That's the problem, exactly. You think your country is just and can intervene in other countries' affairs, just like the police does. But what you see as just and fair, people on the other side of the world see as barbaric (quite literarlly, as that's the original meaning of the word).

That's extremely dangerous thinking. Only the International Court of Justice[1] can deliberate on whether a nation's actions are illegal, and luckily we do have laws that determine what sovereign nations may or may not do. That's an international organization where no one country can decide anything.

Military agression on another country is always illegal: so Russia is indeed commiting an illegal act by invading Ukraine... unless there's consensus in the UN Security Council (of which Russia is a permanent member), however, it would be illegal for another country to intervene. You may think comitting a crime is justified if it's to defend a victim of another crime, but that's not the law we have currently agreed on.

I urge everyone to read this document, "Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: What does International Law Have to Say?" [2], written in 2015!!! The international community somehow failed to stop Russia when it still could. It failed to address the situation, failed to communicate with Russia in an effective manner, it let Russia know that it's ok to break the law (according to Putin's message when he started the invasion, the West broke it first, multiple times, e.g. in Bosnia, Iraq, Syria etc which seems like have served as motivation for Putin to do the same as clearly there's no consequences), it just failed so much it's hard to believe it!

So, here we are and war is a reality.

> You have to decide which do you value more: your freedom or your life.

There's no threat to the freedom of anyone in NATO countries... if you're saying the people of Ukraine should decide that, as they're the only ones now suffering the consequences of our failures, then I'd say that they did all they could to save both, but that was not enough. Maybe they should've known that NATO wouldn't accept them, and refrained from seeking membership, which might have saved them from this aggression? Is that what you think they should've done? That would not really have limited their freedom because NATO was never a realistic prospect anyway, or at least it would not be for a few years for sure (and Russia knows that every passing year could cause that to change)... and their lives would've been fine too! Seeking dialogue with Russia, they might have been able to stop the war in its Eastern borders and have avoided losing Krimea, even!! However, those things happened and now we all have to live with the consequences. Thinking what we should've done is only useful in the sense it may inform what we do next... and that' the important thing to do: to think of what we should do next very carefully if we want to stop escalation... or if we want to go back to the Cold War, which seems almost unavoidable right now.

> cannot be wrapped in safe Rust

There are a lot of things that cannot be exposed in safe Rust (and that's OK, that's what `unsafe` is made for).

There's a big difference between “using this is unsafe, and you must use the `unsafe` keyword and be sure to manually check your invariants” and “oops you used a safe function from the standard library and it was in fact unsafe too bad”.
Is RT.com being censored in the West?

Gödel's method starting with encoding parentheses, and bound variables, i.e. purely syntactical artifacts.
It's a good example where you could do away with this, using e.g. de Bruijn indices -- exactly as you'd suggest switching encoding to binary.
It is another layer of (mostly incidental) complexity yet in the end this complexity has to be addressed -- one choice of base does not change the number.

When you write programs, you don't prove them correct, and you go down to assembly instructions, which is essentially what Gödel did.

The South Caroline indictments were because some of those involved decided to pull the plug. The indictments were revenge for pulling out and derailing the gravy train.

The coming decade will be a battle between centralization and decentralization.
NATO is obsolete so that’s good. The triple alliance isn’t anywhere to be found either.
The website and tool is very nice. However, to be honest, there are various attemps to beyond-ASCII pipes. One popular is the MS Windows PowerShell, but there are also less known ones in the Linux world (I cannot even name a single one out of heart in the moment). Interestingly, passing JSON via pipes has got a defacto standard/alternative for structured data passing.
Ah the 'lets roll over for the enemy' group. Yes, we had those here in NL as well when WWII broke out.

Let's just say that when the invaders eventually left - as they always do - that group didn't fare particularly well. It's called cowardice, if coupled with actions that benefit the enemy it's called collaboration and is usually dealt with for what it is: treason.

I have no dog in this particular race other than that I know both a number of Russians and a number of Ukrainians so consider my views 'balanced' for what that is worth: down with Putin, and I hope that the Russian soldiers know that they may win the initial push but the price will be substantial and eventually they will lose.

The weird thing is that if anything the result of this is that NATO will expand, precisely to ward of this sort of idiocy.

As for agony: some prefer to fight rather than to suffer under an invader, which is a special kind of agony, which tends to last a lot longer and which will endanger not just you but also your family, your children and so on. Russia has a long history of invading other countries and it invariably spells utter misery for the occupied people.
Not sure what you mean. I'm just saying that obviously if Ukraine joined Nato, they would get (even more) missiles. The US has been arming Ukraine for a long time already, to the tune of hundreds of millions every year.

Trump's first impeachment was related exactly to this.
Sorry but being insulting is not going to make your argument more convincing. Pretending that somehow NK and Pakistan have more nuclear capabilities that FR or UK is a joke.
> And if you really want it, it's not terribly hard to write

Sure, but basically it means rewriting all structures that rely on a bucket of stuff.

By the way maps often use a large bucket, and rehash in-place can be preferable.

> Which not many do, not unless the allocation is so large as to be in its own dedicated mmap

Do you know a modern operating system that does not have a mremap equivalent ?

On Linux you pretty much use it as soon as you reach large blocks.

I was sat down in front of a computer, given a couple of machine code manuals for the ZX Spectrum, and told to get on with it.

I just wished my dad has sat down with me and spent some time with me. This card game would have been great.
My country was in a similar position 30 years ago. A laughable army compared to the 5th largest army on paper in Europe that attacked us. The USA didn't want to get involved.

Today we are richer than Portugal.

I take it you hack into critical infrastructure systems legally, as part of security audits and such? After all if you were doing it illegally, and therefore are clearly fine doing illegal hacking, claiming that you won't risk hacking Russia because it might be illegal would seem like a weird defence to make.
The same Bitcoin will be used by Russia to avoid sanctions.
afaik ctrl+shift+b show/hide you the bookmark toolbar.

Though I am not 100% sure of this since the USSR had removed the topsoil back then but I suppose more of it could have spewed back in to the soil over time.
Are there any links to a recording?
Any source or is this just a conspiracy theory? No reputable person has claimed that.
I totally get where you are coming from, but I want to discuss one thing you mentioned.

You decided to stop eating octopus, because they're very smart animals. Which is understandable to me. But why do you decide what animals to eat, based on how intelligent they seem to us? If we turn that argument around, it's okay to eat an animal if its 'dumb'. Why is that so?

To show my perspective, I am becoming more vegetarian the more time passes, because I just can't justify anymore how we treat animals which are meant for comsumption - Forcefully impregnating them, taking their kids away, keeping them in cages yada yada yada. Which means that for me it does not matter how subjectively or objectively intelligent an animal is, same as how I don't treat humans based on their intelligence. Mostly. Of course, if I have to explain something to another human, my explanation will vary on how intelligent they seem to me. But I think you know what I mean :)

As far as I know, pigs are extremely intelligent. Maybe not on the level of an octopus, but still. So, do you eat pig?

And to end, I am not trying to accuse you of any wrongdoing or whatever, its just very interesting to me and I want to talk about it.
Or 'never gonna give you up'.
Let them. Bitcoin is about freedom.

Windows has included libarchive and bsdtar by default starting with the April 2018 Update, so they can also be used there to unpack most rar files.
I always strongly disliked the kernel's approach to macros (especially how they try to masquerade as everything but macros with their lowercase names). More than once I wasted time debugging code because I didn't realize that a macro was involved (special mention for the cases where depending on the compilation flags a symbol can sometimes expand to a macro and sometimes something else).

I suppose in the case of list handling there's not really a good alternative though. If C had lambdas we could use inline functions instead but that's not a thing. Still think it ought to have been uppercase though.
I think we are practicing the same dark arts from different towers.

The .net ecosystem does seem to guide developers to looking inward rather than out to 3rd parties and cloud sprawl. A big part of this is the amount of functionality you get out of the box. We have a ~200meg trimmed distribution and we only need 2 non-microsoft nugets to build it.
War has led to plenty of development through history, and development saves babies. Do you think Italy or Germany would have been better off as bickering principalities, without Giribaldi or Bismarck? Do you think China would have been better off as a bunch of warring states?
It is disturbing how the moderators of HN are condoning the comments in this thread (the top comment by 'neonsunset' provides tools that enable DDoSing a foreign government website) that are encouraging cyber warfare against a nation-state that is considered an 'enemy' of their state (the USA).

Had a Russian/enemy state website had a similar thread that condoned cyber-attacks against the USA critical infrastructure, they would be flagged as terrorists and 'empire' publications like major US newspapers would be all over it as "war against the USA".

All this bluster from capitalists merely reflects hypocrisy.
They were both part of a larger struggle between democracy, human rights and the like and murderous dictatorships. The US wanted to overthrow the murderous dictator in Iraq and bring democracy, even if that didn't go totally smoothly. Putin wants to overthrow democracy in Ukraine and install an extension of his own murderous dictatorship. So they have similarities though as a human rights fan I think one was more well intentioned.
The US has thousands of troops in Europe (NATO states). What do you think is going to happen if russia open fire at them. Biden made it very clear already, WW3 is the answer, but you suggest a republican president would just sit there tolerate deaths of US soldiers and talk about financial sanctions?
Not everything is an analogy to WWII.
You can write code to do anything, and therefore anything can be viewed as something else. However, all abstractions are leaky, so this is rarely usable in practice, since those leaks trip you up all the time.
