No, nothing works against subs since they can easily move and launch from a place far from any defensive umbrellas.
It's not just polarization. Polarization is a natural state of human societies and is a good thing as it enables things to move forward (in either direction).

Silicon Valley corporations, whether for profit or by ideology, have pushed nazi/conspirationist propaganda to everyone in the form of recommendations for many years. To be fair, so have traditional media outlets, neither of which is excusable in my view.
I agree that it's sort of a fashy dog whistle, but the concept of cyclic history did not originate with Spengler. This was probably the dominant view of the nature of time and history up until at least the last thousand years, maybe later.
They don't "suck" at it. It's not in their interest.
I didn’t say "go to war", I said "be willing to go to war". That makes the whole difference.
This is naieve.

Just like journalists, scientists can select which ideas to research, which ideas to promote, which ideas get funded, etc.

So if all of science comes from people with one homogeneous ideology, you're going to get homogeneous ideological research.
When someone makes claims like "deflationary currencies will push us back into feudalism" with no other support than "it is widely studied", I immediately begin to question this person's judgement.

Currency has little to no relationship with feudalism. And if they are using feudalism as a shorthand for inequality, we are already there with an inflationary currency.
Yes, but why not just offer it in the first place? I had the same impression when I had to jump through those hoops
But look at the path components: they're not organizing things just by date. The files are first organized by purpose (long-term storage), then by origin, and only then by date.

So they've already made the decision to commit the files to long-term storage, and to keep the original photos separate from subsequent edits, and to keep them separate from other image sources (e.g. downloads). That "tagging" required very little effort because they could just navigate to the existing tag in the filesystem, and put the new files there.
The question is about Putin and his cronies using their power as dictator and oligarchs doing a specific type of stock trade. Nancy Pelosi is neither a dictator or an oligarch and as far as I know has not shorted the market since she’s planning to start a war. Why bring her up?
If you are talking about Putin, then yes. He is literally insane.
SMS is not reliable for 2FA, it's trivial for a determined party to sniff SMS messages. TOTP is the best way for typical users to do 2FA, as most people wont have a Yubikey or anything like that. Google Prompt is the equivalent of iCloud's cross-device prompt where you must allow the action from another device that's already logged in to the account.

The Google Authenticator app isn't the only app that can be used to generate TOTP tokens, even though many sites directly refer to it. Anywhere that you are given a QR code to scan you can use any TOTP app you'd like. I use Authy personally because it allows me to back up my TOTP tokens behind a master password and access to my phone number, so in the event my phone is lost or replaced I'm able to restore 2FA access by going through the process to configure Authy again and re-enter my master password from another password manager.
Because it is easy to automate TOTP, and it is probably not effective at slowing down signup attempts.
Nothing is Russia's back yard. Russia is the back yard. Russia is the graveyard of civilization, which has no claim to anything outside its miserable, ruthless territory.

I would rather die than live in a shithole under Putin.

The only madness would be not using nuclear weapons against Putin if he crosses NATO lines. If he wants to die rich, he can live a long life. Otherwise let him die with his missiles, and his daughter who dances.
I find it hard to believe that people would be seriously researching this if we already knew there could never be any sensible commercial application.

More likely we just don’t know the way to make it viable yet.
How? From what are your admins paid then?
> doesn't have the power to muster a draft when China takes Taiwan

And rightly so. I don't care enough about Taiwan to instate a draft. I don't care enough about much of anything for that.
The flaw with Wargames is that you don't always have a choice to play.
You can set up 2FA through one of the other options first. After that, TOTP should be available as an option as well. After setting TOTP up, you can remove the other one.

They're probably hiding the TOTP option because the backup story for Google Authenticator is really poor. If you lose your device, you lose access to all of the accounts you had set up 2FA for with Google Authenticator. Of course, there are other TOTP apps that are better in this regard, but Google is unlikely to promote those because then they'd lose some control over the authentication flow.
I would be surprised if they do not keep pushing for the Q=1 record. This last campaign was in support of ITER. Now that DT operations have resumed they wouldn't go out without a moonshot.
> rejected by historians

which historians? And why should we pay any attention to their consensus?
Tangentially related but I made sure to store all of my TOTP codes in a secure, offline location so that I can quickly migrate my 2fa app to a new phone by generating QR codes.

Google has been mainly prompting me on other devices rather than asking for my TOTP code, however.
How to help the people of Ukraine: things you can do
What if he never retreats and just keeps pushing? You have a o draw a hard line somewhere, and the longer you wait the harder it is to do it.
I like reading the Atlantic when I want to know which propaganda the DNC is pushing for the day.
“Naturally, because this is me, the case study will be (trumpets blaring) Rome, which fought a lot of poorer, less settled peoples and is frequently used as the example of wealthy, ‘civilized’ and ‘decadent’ military failure. I’ve opted to pick these two sets of examples to start out because these periods – classical antiquity and pre-history – ought to be the periods where our Fremen perform the best, as the technological and industrial gap between them and their richer ‘civilized’ opponents is the smallest – in some cases, practically non-existent.”

Comparing Rome to its enemies in this way as if “the toughness of the people” is THE variable that determined success, compared to say, coordinated mobility-based warfare tactics, is a stretch at best.
VirtualBox is x86-64 only, I doubt they will invest time in updating anything for macos considering apple's decision to move everything and everyone to arm

If someone is asking for a yes/no to all people in a channel, using the thumb up/down emoji to the question is way cleaner than having 50 people in a channel post “yes” posts.
It’s funny you say that. I thought the overarching story was pretty straightforward and simple in the original game, including the RTS games. Warcraft 3 did add some extra elements to it, which were carried over into WoW, but it felt like lots of small stories. There really wasn’t a single, cohesive overarching story in the original WoW. Only now in modern WoW do we have these grandiose, trans-cosmos, overly complicated storylines that retcon everything that’s happened.
I dislike how the only way to get TOTP codes off a device is by rooting. I had a half dozen codes that I had to dump from the sqlite db when I first used authenticator.
>It seems obvious but sadly most of the disinformation comes from conservative outlets.

I'm not even sure that's true; just that conservative people aren't as used to being censored.

Plenty of bizarro left-wing shit about Coronavirus, 5G and evil conspiracies.

> This is the "web of tomorrow"?

I'd argue that those who never wanted to do any of these things pretty much got the "web of today" they deserve.
TOTP is falling out of fashion because the underlying crypto component is just a plaintext secret that is distributed over the Internet and stored unhashed in a database, probably right next to the password hashes. There's a real argument too be made that it's not a real second factor but instead more like 1.5FA.
I don't see why the answer wouldn't be "major cities and/or Capitol cities" in every country.
Ukraine has excellent farmland. Russia has their own local economy and can produce most of the things they need just with their direct neighbors. French cheeses, American-branded phones, and Italian cars may be too expensive for the Russian economy, but the Russian government doesn't care. Close-enough products can be had for a fraction of the price.

Thinking of things in terms of raw GDP is what is getting the west into a total mess. For years now people have said Russia won't do anything and couldn't possibly be a threat because their GDP is so low. China will never be a major player because their GDP per capita is so low.

But that's, frankly, stupid. People in Switzerland pay $20 for a sandwich. People in Vietnam are paying $0.75 for a sandwich that tastes twice as good. People in China are getting locally made phones with the equivalent of US pocket change and riding high speed trains for the cost of a slow and janky NY subway trip. GDP means absolutely nothing outside of international trade within the global sphere. GDP didn't help America beat Afghanistan, one of the absolute poorest countries on earth. It didn't help them beat North Korea or Vietnam either. They still haven't succeeded in removing communism from poverty-stricken, bottom of the barrel GDP Cuba. If Russia decides to keep moving into western Europe, their GDPs mean nothing. Seizing that land just means Russia gets all of what those countries have, forever, without the high price tag.

GDP isn't motivating angry dictators to invade. They're doing it because they can.
Battery prices are falling like a rock. Solar and wind prices are falling like a rock. EVs are going mainstream. Fusion is showing signs of progress after years of stagnation.

Oil and gas sales accounted for 68% of Russia's export revenues in 2013. That number is probably higher today. Oil and gas are between 15% and 20% of Russia's entire economy.

I really wonder if Russia's behavior is related to the impending end of the fossil fuel age. The Saudis and other petrostates lack Russia's military power and so they are instead frantically throwing money at crazy future-city projects and other boondoggles to try to build a future for themselves that is not rooted in oil and gas. Russia has nukes and a lot of conventional weapons, so maybe a militaristic path seems more viable to them.
I think your comment is fair and relevant. Our society is so broken that it produces (and encourages) psychopaths at every level of power. Then some people wonder why Twitter/Facebook is a cesspit of evil. And if you ever had the chance to avoid how sociopathic capitalist mentality is, don't worry GAFAMs have plenty of recommended posts/videos full of neo-nazi conspirationists to redpill you.
India National Stock Exchange head was 'puppet' of unnamed yogi, regulators say
Thanks for the information!

My takeaway:

* It's very strange that omega is not constant everywhere. I've read stranger things, but it's suspicious that it must change in a very specific way.

* This is not a mainline extension of GR. (Does this sentence even make sense? I mean, it's not like the supersymmetry extension of the standard model, that has a big chunk of the community behind it, but it's still far from confirmed.)

* When I read in the title "ghosts", I though it was a stupid press article translation of "perturbations" or something. I was confusing reading the paper. But now I understand it has a very specific technical meaning of a weird faster than light thing in weird objects (or they equations). If confirmed, are they real things, or just a math effect like in the phase vs group velocity problems?
> Biden praying for victims of 'unprovoked' attack

I think there should be a line added to the press codices of this world to never ever let this kind of meaningless "thoughts and prayers" line be transported. A politician should not even put it in their press releases, knowing that nobody will print it.

As a citizen, thoughts and prayers might be all you can do.

As a politician, it's your damn job to do things. Thoughts and prayers won't cut it.
Insurance companies don't give away cars. They'll make you pay some of it back over time in increased premiums.

I'm irrationally quick to hate on anything Microsoft touches, but for TOTP their Authenticator app is very good. It holds my google TOTP, amongst others.

Allows you to import and export to csv; ios app also has automated icloud backup if you're so inclined.
> "The difference is that if a file isn't sorted in a file system, it just sits on your Desktop or Download folder and is still easily visible. If you use tags and your file doesn't get tagged properly it just is lost in the pile and impossible to retrieve."

Wouldn't a shortcut to a view of un-tagged files sorted by recent basically serve the same role as an unsorted Downloads/whatever folder?
Was there WW3 discussion when the US with the UK started invading the Iraq?

It is a disgrace, sure. The signatories who guaranteed Ukraine's security made sure not to be involved later. Esp. to avoid a world war or a nuclear conflict.
Off topic, but I moved from Google Auth to Aegis[0] recently and Aegis is so much better in every possible way.

Good points!

However, the high-refresh-rate monitor also needs to be supported. I have a 144 hz monitor which works fine with my Windows PC, but when I connect it to my work Macbook, it goes back to 60 hz. In the MacOS display settings, there is a dropdown for the refresh rate, but it only lets me choose between 50 and 60 hz... :(
Soldiers have already crossed borders, why give them supplies & money?

Your quote doesn’t apply here.
First demand isn’t flat, so 100% nuclear needs massive amounts of storage to reduce the number of nuclear power plants that would sit idle 90+% of the time. In the end something needs to take up the slack and nuclear doesn’t work by it’s self. If natural gas isn’t an option the only thing left is hydro which is limited or storage.

Your also trying to cherry pick numbers the Wikipedia article also lists “$164/MWh” for nuclear. I found the table you got those numbers from which included multiple estimates from 2018 that used data from 2015 and double counting very optimistic nuclear estimates. Frankly utility solar is already being installed at sub 2c/kWh in the US. 68$/MWh would be 6.8c/kWh which shows how far off your umbers are.

Anyway, I would be happy to see the power plant actually run that cheaply but your looking at very optimistic estimates for something that isn’t even online yet and is getting some serious subsides.

Having said that if you’re data is from “Source: IEA/NEA, 2015.” https://www.oecd-nea.org/ndd/pubs/2018/7441-full-costs-2018-.... I can understand why you picked those numbers.
> There’s nothing worse than pursuing a goal or working hard to develop a habit only to realize years later that it’s not the thing that we really wanted—that it was a socially-derived desire that we may have cared about for all of the wrong reasons.

Everyone has their own unique path in life. Part of that path is finding a dead end or a fork in the road to which one makes a new choice to continue on their path. Any place you don’t find a path is not wasted, but part of refining where to look next.

One day you might be on the right path and then the next instant it’s gone. You get fired, you lose a loved one, the company fails, you retire, you get dumped, etc. Where you thought you were going vanishes and who you thought you were is lost.

We have to accept that losing the path is part of the path. You can go back to find the last clear step you took on the path or explore to find a new one.
Agreed - if Ukraine is part of NATO then there are Nato missiles there, there is mutually assured destruction in invading.
> Recent mutterings suggest Trump thinks highly of Putin though, so it's hard to tell.

Care to provide a source for this?

If you're referring to the podcast where Trump mentioned that Putin's move (annexation of Lugansk & Donetsk) is "genious", that's not some sort of fanboyism or admiration, but simply admitting that the move, tactically, was really good - a lot of people (myself included) did fall for it!
To be honest I haven't tested it on anywhere near that quantity of bookmarks, so I'm not entirely sure how well it'd perform.

My suggestion would be to either wait for the extension to mature a little bit before testing it, or to export your bookmarks first so you have a backup. The extension itself is non-destructive in that it won't delete your bookmarks, but there may well be undiscovered bugs that could mess up your current organization of bookmarks, etc.
Predicting the future is hard, specially if you think in 20-30 years forward.
But, giving enough predictions, you will have a lot of hits in a sea of misses. A lot of development happened in the middle that could had turned things in different directions. Also, beware of hindsight bias.

Anyway, it is not just one data point what matters. What comes after in his predictions and how adjusted is to what happens in reality (without creative accounting, like with Nostradamus predictions) may tell how right that was.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I complain about China here all the time, and the worst that has happened is a particular Hong Kong-based Frenchman disagreeing with me. ;)
The west’s engineering skills are not in decline, though if you have a metric that indicates that, it would be interesting. Europe has not had USA-level problems with building a popular rail network, or other major works.

The main differences in costs and time from 150 years ago are:

(A) Accounting for Extrinsic Costs. as the nations have become more dense and more democratic, peoples voices need to be heard. Environmental, wildlife habitat, etc. are complex issues that have only become important in recent decades. People sometimes get tempted by authoritarian rule because they “get shit done cheaply”, but this is a ruse. By not engaging openly, there are often massive extrinsic costs, so the project is “cheap” by cheating and not counting the true costs. Europe seems to have streamlined this, the USA is still stuck in “might over right” political power struggles rather than compromises.

(B) Cheap labor. Most infrastructure doesn’t require large numbers of high skilled labor, it needs a mix of skilled and unskilled labor. The railways in the 1800s we’re built with large quantities of immigrant labor. This is in rarer supply in the West these days, for a variety of reasons.

(C) Labor rights and safety. Construction projects and rail projects were happy to bury dead workers by the wayside (or in the concrete of the Empire State Building). Or work them to unsustainable hours with limited pay. It took many strikes, some violent, to sort this out. Today’s standards don’t put up with that level of labor abuse.

(D) Investment sources. Many large projects were state funded, or were funded by investors with a lot of patience. That kind of patience is in short supply, as is state funding in the USA due to Republicans being Republicans. Europe seems to be able to pull this kind of funding off.

(E) Contract Grift. There is a lot more incentive and skill to slow roll and milk the cash flow of construction projects, given their complexity. Traditional large works were more vertically integrated and managed by those with incentive to see the job done, rather than paid by the hour. The solution to this is more vertical integration but that’s hard to pull off because of labor shortages.

I’d also note that China has a vested interest in publishing propaganda about its engineering and public works prowess while hiding its extrinsic costs.
The Mongols didn't need an economy to create chaos and conquer most of Eurasia. Babylon was conquered by Macedonia, Constantinople fell to the Turks, and Rome to the Vandals. Mixing up economic power with willingness to bleed for a mythical cause is a mistake. Also, who needs an economy when you can just have a big army and take booty? Definitely not Russia.

This is not the modern-day version of USSR vs USA. It's the modern version of the Mongol Horde vs Civilization. (No offense to current Mongols; you guys are cool).
India and Canada have totally different tolerances to civil unrest.

There are events that happen regularly in India that would absolutely mind blowing if they happened in Canada.

Communal violence, riots, women being gang raped to death publicly, large scale protests, corpses being floated down rivers, various public health conditions that would be absolutely unacceptable in Canada.

So maybe Trudeau’s actions would seem unnecessary or hypocritical to people in India, but we should keep things in perspective
Obviously you don’t live in the us as I recall seizures due to “the war on drugs” occurring for decades. Police departments supposedly use it for funding, and you needed court action to get your cash/goods back.

Funding illegal activities always had repercussions for those involved.
The west has been giving up stuff since Putin gained power. Nothing has been claimed back yet. And he won’t be gone any time soon. He has plenty of targets after Ukraine too, for example Moldova which already has a separatist Russian mole region inside.

We are watching Hitler raising, not Stalin dying here.
Well said, пиздец it is.
I've worked in fusion research and defense. MIC corruption and incompetance is quite high but virtually not present in the fusion research community. The researchers, you know, give a shit. They're not there to make a buck and milk the gravy train. If a machine gets greenlit then they pour everything into getting it to succeed because it might be the only research advancement greenlit in their life. Failure is always an option. Look at NCSX.
Ask HN: Why is the 5G rollout so problematic in the States but not Europe?
Lots of articles recently about problems with the 5G rollout in the U.S. but none about similar 5G efforts in Europe. Why is that?
People launch Powerpoint (online) and use the recent files menu instead of browsing from the ”C: drive”

Yes, I do that too. But that's because I have to, not because I want to. Onedrive, Sharepoint (and I guess Dropbox too) are impossible to navigate otherwise, so yes, even people that understand hierarchies are forced to use an application's LRU list to find old documents.

That's not a sustainable situation. I foresee huge storage bills for organisations because they won't be able to afford to curate their growing terabytes of disorganized file storage.
There is a company that is selling a LED Lamp that blinks at 40 Hz.
They claim it can mitigate Alzheimer's.

This line of devices has become known as 'Gamma Flashers', lots of knockoffs today. From Gamma brain wave state.

There is some, small amount, of science to back this up.

So who is going to be the first person to put up a 40 Hz flashing website?

The idea that Russia was under threat of attack from Ukraine is laughable. These are absurd Kremlin talking points.
