Apple smartphone market share is like 8% in Russia according to a quick DDG search. Maybe stop with exagerations...

Also if people don't already know that remotely updateable device can be bricked by the manufacturer, they're just very ignorant. But yeah, people pop up on HN again and again surprised that Google can just take away everything from them without a moment's notice, so that one is not a remote possibility. People just don't understand technology very well.

Anyway, I'm against bricking phones. That'll not do any good. It will harm communication between disidents, and spread of news/information, too.
Most of them know what exactly cryptocurrencies/blockchain are in detail. But usually the negativity comes 'muh climate change' while having 100x carbon footprint than an average individual let's say in El Salvador.

Other point is that a lot of these folks dislike what cryptocurrencies are used for like decentralization, censorship-resistance, financial privacy etc

Then there are those who are still butthurt that they did not buy Bitcoin when it was $100.
or they could continue business in russia and be sanctioned out of UN or US regions
So you prefer war to peace?
What exactly does it mean "fraudulent transaction" in the context of bitcoin? It's not like you can use someone else's account number to purchase stuff.
Same. I quit my salaried gig and cashed out retirement into a Roth IRA chock full of about 25% BRK/B, 25% AAPL, and the other half more boring stuff.

The boring stuff has really been dragging down the otherwise stellar performance of my portfolio.

I'm reasonably sure that those calling for Russia's ban from SWIFT are doing so precisely for that reason. They may not understand that banning them for SWIFT doesn't exactly accomplish that, but that's the motivation for the call.
On RISC-V, I've seen the trick of swapping a register with the m/sscratch CSR in order to obtain one freely useable one. But this, of course, still is more overhead than on MIPS.
> Russia objected to Facebook fact checking and labelling (not removing) Russian state media posts

False. Facebook had applied restictions on the pages of these media for 90 days and ignored regulators demands to explain and lift these restrictions. That was the reason for RKN take action, not the "fact checking".

Source (use google translate): https://tjournal.ru/news/542107-facebook-nalozhil-ogranichen...

On a side note, I find the idea of "fact checking" reports on current military events, while having no actual unbiased sources, but only a huge torrent of potential misinformation, to be completely ridiculous. No one has actual facts right now.

One of my 2 routers in Kyiv is on AS16007 'UKRAINIAN-AMERICAN-SWISS LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP "KANCOM"'

Tracerouting to it from London shows traffic going from London onto AS8359 MTS (Russian ISP), seemingly to Frankfurt then Moscow, then to AS21497 PrJSC VF UKRAINE

The other router is on AS1820 WNET. Traceroute dies at London going to Ukraine, coming back the other way the ISP uses 100.64 ranges, so no idea where it routes. RTT via Russia is 70ms and via unknown is 40ms so I suspect it's direct.

Clearly Moscow could stop advertising Ukraine traffic out to the west, but then I guess traffic would be harder to intercept.
Pour-over, single-origin coffee costs about 120฿ in Thailand, 3× street food as well. Cafés are often used for setting for social media photos as much as the coffee itself and they are popular—especially right after lunch.

But with coffee being grown in the North coffee itself isn’t seen as “Western”, and the older styles using robusta beans—like กาแฟโบราณ, โอเลี้ยง, etc.—are still sold for 20–30฿ from street carts, while the arabica espresso options with an ‘experience’ to it costs way more.
As a fun factoid this is one of the few things that was intentionally fudged in "The Martian." Andy Weir was well aware that the most brutal sandstorm on Mars would feel like a slight breeze, but felt it was one of the more interesting ways to create a catastrophe. That in itself is really phenomenally encouraging for the future developments on the planet - when one of the things a hard sci-fi book has to resort to fiction on is the trigger for catastrophe!

The USSR literally collapsed. Pakistan has danced with a new regime a decade. We're in highly, highly risky territory. But it's not unprecedented.

Actually, none of them do. Cutting equipment (even after adapted to drilling) is heavily focused on the near region, usually a few cm away. On distances larger than a few cm, they are no more self-aligning than any mechanical drill.

I don't see the issue. Plenty of things exist and are useful without being convenient for Joe sixpack to use directly.
To be slightly obtuse: MacOS 10 is a really broad category, encompassing the last 20+ years of desktop Mac UI and including probably the peak of skeumorphic design. Personally I think Mac OS X hit its prime around 10.5-10.6 Leopard and Snow Leopard. But I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. :)

When I was using Windows 95 (and 98) the first thing I would do was change the colors to try to make my windows and buttons look less like a bunch of sidewalk blocks. When XP came out I was excited for the colorful, plasticky theme, but it hasn't aged well. Even Vista/7's glassy Aero has grown old, but for me Aero is still the best standard Windows theme (honorable mention to Royale and Watercolor). I think you're probably 100% right about the personal preference being the key here.
That's not @earthishome's point.

Human understanding enables inference. Say your full self driving car is driving down the freeway and an enormous explosion / forest fire / volcano erupts in the distance, it'll blissfully drive towards the disaster - because it has no comprehension of what the orange sky, shaking ground, fleeing people imply.

This is a extreme example but the more we learn about driving the more we realise our ability to do it is based on inference not only about the world, but about the intentions of other drivers.

There's no 'decision' being made by a self driving car - it's matching its predefined set of visual inputs to a set of behaviours. It can never scale to adapt to the unknown - even in principle.
Agreed 100% that this is absolutely just from russian and like very pro russian sources. The only reason why I give it any credit is that it fits with the reality on the ground. If russia was pushing and got actually stalled, I'd have expected to see a lot more air raids and shelling. Yesterday was weirdly calm, even when it comes to airstrikes, bombings etc. Not exactly the signs of a desperate push
> Why's that any different?

Consciousness, sentience and sapience. Which is to say, that is indeed the multitrillion dollar question.
Well, I trust Buffett more than your average financial advisor. I'd say it's a fair premium.
Likely using stolen credit card credentials to buy bitcoin and then use them to buy things on Steam. They already have a massive problem with that without introducing bitcoin into the equation
I haven’t lost any sympathy for the Russian population, especially not the part that doesn’t support Putin.

But sanctions cannot and will not only affect the Russian leadership or war machine. It must affect society as a whole. So long as Russians are still more afraid of Putin than of a decade of recession, the sanctions are not harsh enough. Putin doesn’t care about sanctions. He worries about being lynched.

Also: take the whataboutism elsewhere. It’s not an argument to say “but what about X? Why didn’t the same happen when X did something wrong?”.
This is a disingenuous statement. It ignores the fact that there have been and are likely to be more long term issues from the virus too.
I would be very surprised if this happened. This would mean that European economies won't get their invested money back and also won't be able to pay for services. Extremely highly unlikely. Even if Europe replaces Russian LNG with American it will still be at least 3x-5x the current price.
Now, that's cozy!

I very much prefer the "physical" design of windows 9x to the more graphic one of XP and whatever the shit you want to call that horribly ugly clusterfuck of a mess that is 10.
How is this possible? I was told that these wireless networks are all closed and proprietary. Is this done by reverse engineering the protocols?
I don't have the data about incremental vaccine effectiveness for people who already had COVID. I don't think anyone does. Why are you so confident that the vaccines aren't effective for people who previously had it? It's not a one-and-done disease like chickenpox. More exposure = more immune system training.

You can blame the experts (do google their backgrounds) cited in that article for trying to avoid this war.
Indeed. We're on the third day of the invasion now. I'm confused by the amount of people, including many in the media, saying that things are going poorly for Russia because they didn't capture the capital city in the first two days of the war.
One of the things motivating such progress is our ability to normalize everything.

It’s sweet how the simplest things bring babies joy, but we wouldn’t accomplish all that much if jingling keys fascinated us our whole lives.
Indeed, I see your point.

China’s reaction to this crisis has elucidated for me the fact that its government is a complex institution with separate power bases (cf. Putin’s lonely autocracy).

It’s clear that at least some of those nodes earnestly hold the principle of always-sacrosanct sovereignty which is a cornerstone of China’s foreign policy (and of its criticism of the West), and are not pleased with the hypocrisy now inherent in their alliance.
> * did someone try to send something other then bitcoin to a ₿ address?

That would not even register right? Different coins are completely separate and it wouldn't even have registered anywhere and show up in the statistic. As far as I know the addresses are also distinct between coins (so it's not even physically possible) but there are so many now and I've been out of that world for a few years now so that might have changed.

> * did a client claim he payed and did the payment seem to fail on his end?

You mean like opening a support case, claiming they have paid?

> * did a client not realise that you as payee also pay for the network fee?

That sounds possible. In this case, Steam's bitcoin client would indeed detect the transaction but it would never be mined and thus never really spent.

My first thought was a double spend, though, or perhaps that the source money was illegitimately obtained (e.g. later determined to be laundered money or so).
Does the US have legal authority to kidnap, detain, torture, murder random people from all over the world? Or forbid anyone to deal with countries the US doesn't like?
i suspect that steam was using a payment processor which identified that the coins were on a blacklist of sorts, and was not legitimately acquired (e.g., either stolen, or purchased with stolen money etc).

Absolutely not. Citizenship isn't a piece of candy to give out or take away.

Under no circumstances can or should it be removed. Even being able to give it up of ones own initiative is a morally repugnant, if necessary, compromise.
I believe this is also the Achilles heel of nuclear too. It's an amazing, cheap, and sustainable way of creating concentrated heat, but an absolute pill of complexity and labor needed to turn that heat into spinning turbines. Nuclear's future should be in town heat & high temperature industry, not electricity.
Why would GC drop calls? I know a few high volume networks using .Net based platforms without any issues, Go would run circles around them performance wise.

I grew up with a Commodore 128, and it had two screen buffers---one for 40-column mode and one for 80-column mode. I remember listing some code on the 80-column side of things so that I could edit it there and insert it into the code I had over on the 40-column side. I felt clever that day.
Gay marraige is often touted as a success in this regard.

Lots of conservatives said they were against it, because lots of conservatives said they were against it. When it became clear that even most conservatives didn't care, the whole thing collapsed and it was one of the fastest changes in reported opinion on record.

https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/carrie-wofford/2014/03/...

So just convincing conservatives that other conservatives have the same sinking feeling of "are we the baddies?" might be worth looking into.
The politicians know what it means. They need 'something' they can do publicly.

Russian Oligarchs have their massive yachts in ports in Europe. They are talking about 'no safe haven' but it's BS.

If they want to do something, they can go after those ships. That said, many of them hold dual citizenship which makes legal problems.

Also, the corrupt oligarchs serve as a conduit for money fuelling out of Russia to the West, I mean, they are kind of doing the West a favour to Russia's detriment.

Europeans need to come together right now and pledge to absolve themselves of Russian Oil. It means major investment in Nuclear.

Germany also has to start assuming responsibilities of leadership. They are benefiting the most from the Euro, and frankly European integration as they are sucking jobs and talented workers in form Spain, Italy etc. they have to share the burden of things like military leadership.

Poland right now is supporting Ukraine in all sorts of ways, it's amazing to see, and they are not a rich country.

Unlike the wave of migrants in 2015, these neighbouring refugees are being welcomed.

No, but I do not use an IDE to write Rails code.

I can think of a few cases where Rails architecture would be relatively difficult for IDEs: ActiveRecord callbacks, and of course metaprogramming and magic methods like "find_by_x".

In most cases this sounds like a mismatch between IDE and framework, but the "method_missing" chain could be a unique challenge.

I avoid using that construct in application code, and just accept that some of it exists in the framework -- but that it's almost certainly not the cause of any problem I'm debugging.
You are! But you (still) have elections to do it in.

Are there any politicians in particular from the WMD era you think should be ousted?
I agree this approach can be distracting, but I'm still glad OBS is adding this feature. There are times when it's "better than nothing" (if you're in a coffee shop or an airport or something where your background would be genuinely distracting). It's important to remember that OBS is a bit of a "swiss army knife" and there are plenty of use cases where this could be handy.

That said, I've done background replacement using chroma key with OBS and it's quite easy. Anybody serious about streaming (or recording) video who wants to remove the background should own one. I own something called the "web around" which is a fabric disc supported by a tension wire around its circumference that attaches to the back of your chair. I'm convinced that this (and a decent microphone) do make a difference in how people perceive me in meetings and presentations.

Exactly! I remember getting dressed for work while listening to MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) about an airplane hitting the WTC and I figured it was just a small Cessna 172 or something so I turned on my TV just in time to see the second impact live.

Watching it happen live with the immediate knowledge that it was obviously a deliberate act was, like you said, a huge amount to process all at once.

I actually think that having a goal like "get dressed and go to work" probably was a great benefit to my mental state.
I remember a period somewhere in the 2010s where it wasn't uncommon to see a business experiment with accepting Bitcoin (as Steam did), before transaction fees made it impractical.

Given the way people talk about LN, and the (quite understandable!) desire to avoid credit card transaction fees, why don't we see more businesses accepting it?

(Asking this in good faith; I am admittedly ignorant about LN and have not tried making a transaction with it.)
'The Ukraine' was acceptable when it was a region of other countries (like "the Midlands" or "the American Southwest"). It's unacceptable to refer to a country. I'm sure trying to (subtly) demote Ukraine from a country to a region is a goal of Russian propagandists.
You’re right; I meant those who make claims such as the one GP was mentioning do.

My bad for not being more clear.
More cynically, it's a $2M thumb on the scale of an auction, and if somebody wants to outbid the relevant keywords, that's pure profit.
I go to sleep every day hoping for Western/NATO military action against Russian military units in Ukraine. Specifically, a large scale aerial operation to annihilate concentrations of Russian forces inflicting maximum and unsustainable casualties forcing Russian withdrawal.

There’s a distinction between attacking Russia and stoping an invasion by eliminating military forces of the aggressor in the sovereign territory of another country.
I was being sarcastic.

However, my previous comment is technically correct. You still haven't raised any valid technical concerns with my solution.

(1) The steam powered rocket guy that coincidentally became a flat earther after running out of money. The flat earthers ended up funding his (mostly) successful steam rocket.

Everyone knows the footage from NASA and the rest of the aerospace-round-earth-industrial-military-complex is all faked. Helium and Hydrogen are the devil's gas, so weather balloons also won't work.

I hope the flat earthers find some other mad scientist to replace him soon.
