I see, thanks, I imagined (wrongly) that if your Wi-Fi router was down (besides Internet connection), even for a simpler issue, let's say a failed power supply, you were stuck with lights either on or off until you fixed it.

Besides my (personal) skepticism about anything IoT, I feared that in such a setup having a working Wi-Fi was "essential", if there is a failsafe of some kind (like direct bluetooth) it is less bad than I imagined.

Russia's demography is declining, and global warming will thaw the permafrost and annihilate a ton of infrastructure in the East. Oil prices are high right now, but European reliance on Russian oil is probably at the highest it will ever be. Putin is not getting younger, and he probably wants to finish the long work of integrating Ukraine into his governance system before he dies. The Russian army, as the last three days have shown, is strong, but not getting stronger with every passing day. It's probably way past its prime.

Even though what Putin hated was not the risk of Ukraine joining NATO, but merely Ukraine saying it wanted to join NATO, on the Russian side, it might have been now or never for Putin.

Agreed. It's bad both ways. I would say the more dangerous failure mode is the one which results in the most unexpected amount of delta between input and output.

If you are already in the process of trying to stop, there is going to be some finite difference between expectation and reality, even if the braking system does not perform perfectly (or at all). Your brain is already thinking "ok let's find a way to slow this thing down". You might have a few precious milliseconds to go for a shoulder or other external soft-stop opportunity.

If you are inputting zero braking signal and receive a 100% stop force arbitrarily, that is pretty much an infinite level of surprise. Incidentally, this may also provoke any adjacent ABS failure modes.

bitcoin should be seen in the mainstream as a universal payment network. I believe its best use case for the average(non-cypherpunk libertarian) person/company is to accept it by using a service that automatic exchanges it for dollars on their end.

For example, someone in africa could pay .001 BTC($40 currently) for a game and all steam would see on their end is a debit transaction for $40(cash not bitcoin) in their account. It allows for bitcoin to be held by those who don't mind the volatile nature of its market value, AND allows for those wanting to accept without holding it in the short term. Win Win for both parties :)
SAMs would come from Ukranian defense in Kyiv and not Russian forces, right? Or could both sides have them there?
Very good advice. Vote with your feet and move on. Life really is too short, if MB wants to burn their brand more power to them.

If you're in the US you can play with professional grade wireless telecom hardware using CBRS spectrum. I have a magma core and radio on my house to play around with.

Assuming this technology works, it's worth that risk. To be fair, that's a big assumption; most things don't. Meanwhile, already past the point of no return, the inconvenient situation with our climate gets worse while we try to negotiate. This is probably nothing, but it's worth trying.

Perhaps everyone thought Russia was Saber rattling in January when they gave a 1 week deadline to NATO saying they would invade if they didn't receive it.

That said, following Russia demand, the US president went national TV and announced that Russia will likely invade Ukraine and the US will not go in.
I can definitely appreciate that sentiment, but this level of "attack" is just a Tuesday for Western businesses from attacks from Russian operatives.

It wouldn't be a far stretch for Putin to declare these actual attacks on Russia since they are not private business but gov't networks. If they trace these attacks back to NATO countries, it could then be used as casus belli
I think you have the causality backwards. Negative interest rates are due to central bank policy. It seems in Denmark they are trying to keep the Krone pegged to the Euro. That is, preventing it from rising.
If they can build it, they still do not have the demand for that much extra gas, probably just little.

The Chinese government is despicably authoritarian, but unlike Putin, they are not crazy and they are playing it long-term.

They won't condemn Russian invasion too harshly, but they don't want to break energy supply chains from West to help out a not-exactly-friendly state (just an enemy of an enemy).
> That's a good question, what happens with an anti-air missile if it fails to hit something in the sky? Does it disable itself before hitting ground?

Even if a warhead isn't armed, a heavy missile moving very fast hitting a heavy building moving very slowly makes for a lot of impact energy. Unspent fuel (solid or otherwise) will also readily start secondary fires and be dangerous for rescuers and emergency crews.

Allowing re-use violates the RFC:

Note that a prover may send the same OTP inside a given time-step
window multiple times to a verifier. The verifier MUST NOT accept
the second attempt of the OTP after the successful validation has
been issued for the first OTP, which ensures one-time only use of an
OTP.

This is actually the only "MUST NOT" in the entire RFC (besides the definition of the term in §2).
new tech always tends to enable other new tech. also, maybe previously they depended more on deep infiltration by their own people in civilian clothes - those are also very active all around ukraine and actually they started showing up months before the invasion started. just 40-50yo dudes with very plain clothes and backpacks walking around the city. quite noticeable for locals that something was off about them. sadly the government or intelligence service didn't recognize the threat and take them out quick enough.
From my uneducated perspective on the other side of the world, this looks like a mostly unilateral act of aggression by Russia against Ukraine. Is that not the case?
Ethics is philosophically a real thing -- but it's not a real thing as a system of governance.

I think "business ethics" has become so prominent, only because it enables unethical people a means to subjugate a populous of mostly ethical people. If you think that's too harsh, consider that traditional ethics is usually in polar opposition to the Reaganite imperative that the primary responsibility of businesses is to make money for their shareholders.

Clearly, if you believe that surveillance capitalism is unethical -- then you find yourself in between two opposing ethical definitions. Now your only choice is which one to pick, make money or not.

What kind of business leaders emerge from this?

What you're saying comes down to "it might make the problem of inequality and class worse, but hey maybe I'll be on top this time".

I suspect you're having a hard time getting people to sympathize and are receiving a lot of pushback because that is an incredibly selfish view that makes people dislike what you're proposing.
Look to the history of the world. Nearly every single awful tragedy in our world has been motivated by (from the perspective of the person doing such actions) good intentions. The grand utopia said villains had in mind when carrying out their misdeeds never came to pass, but the horrible actions done in the name of it most certainly did.

You cannot predict the future; your actions will often have consequences far outside that which you intend. And there's an extremely good chance that what you intend to happen will never happen anyhow! This ultimately makes Machiavellianism somewhat of a non-starter. The ends cannot logically justify the means when you cannot even truly know what the ends ever will be. All you can be certain of is that we will experience the "means."

Etherium is looking for a PoS system.

Guess what our current fiat system actually is? A highly finetuned evolutionary PoS system.

It has features like:

- transparency

- fraud detection

- political sanctions (russia vs. ukraine, north korea, iran...)

- fairness due to transparency (you pay your taxes, i do: we both pay our fair share of infrastrucutre cost etc.)

- easy to use (my grandparenst were able to use it)

- save

- easy authentication and authorization system (i can get money with my passport)

- globally accepted

- low transaction fees

- self optimizing system due to capital market (one bank can do transactions faster and cheaper than you can)
I won't dispute the analysis, only because propaganda is hard to prove wrong. And that's the problem here, It's on sided.

It's no secret many of the economies in the West are so-so (from Covid). What short term impact will these sanctions have on the countries issuing them? What about longer term (e.g., The Fed over-compensates).

In a global economy, these sanction actions have international reactions.

yeah - Some. crypto companies have that too now though. Most exchanges have haulted the ability to buy crypto with credit altogether.

But Crypto.com allows you to buy up to $30 worth of crypto with a credit card and cards online are pennies on the dollar online if bought in bulk.

An astute con artist would recongnise that the only real verifications credit cards have at their disposal is geolocation and shopping habits. So if one were to buy CC online, create a bot to enter the details onto the crypto.com exchange, route the traffic through a VPN using the CC address as a base, send the $30 worth of crypto you bought off exchange and into a wallet, using Tor and some clean Eth you bought in cash to pay the gas fees, Wrap the BTC in WBTC, throw it on uniswap, swap for some privacy coin, use that privacy coin to send to another wallet within that private ecosystem so the headers on the node are lost and bam. You've got some clean crypto that you've fraudulently bought with a credit card but can never be claimed as fraud!

It could provide as a store and transpiration means of value in times of crisis. For instance some of the Ukrainian banks are now shutdown. If you had crypto you could access your wealth. Same thing applies for Russian citizens who have nothing to do with the war but will soon have their assets frozen.

The yearly flu vaccines are similar though, and the long term protection against specific variants of CoViD-19 are also similarly lacking because the only ethical environment to gather test data in now has different, more virilant, variants.

It's sort of like a riot shield's effectiveness against metal pipe club weapons, then mining picks, and now axes, all used by a mob. There is still some protection, and it is usually non-harmful to the protected, but the effectiveness is in question and annual training seems to help.

Fun fact (and not to detract from your allegory), agent orange was widely used by Ontario Hydro from the fifties to late seventies to clear trees from around power lines. The people handling it weren’t really well-informed of what exactly it was or how dangerous it was, so there have been a number of lawsuits.

That is not the point; the signal propagation times in the VLSI blocks are engineered to work properly at the specific physical size. If the structures are scaled to a larger node size, the timing variances increase. If you want to do this, you can either 1) reengineer all the VLSI blocks to meet timing requirements at the larger node size (maybe impossible) or 2) slow the clock speed to loosen the requirements.
If the us could feasibly supply the gas via LNG at cost then I’d imagine it would have been done.

The best bet would be for all energy suppliers to max production, however there is good evidence that that is already the case due to preexisting energy shortages.

Next step would be shutting down energy intensive operations such as bitcoin mining, gold mining, driving, potentially some steel production and shipping activities.

> The car accelerator no longer opens valves/injectors for the gasoline to enter combustion chambers.

The part you're thinking of is the throttle (which is why the accelerator pedal is sometimes called the throttle pedal), which controls the flow of air into the engine.

The flow of gasoline has always been automated as a derived value from this (and often, other factors) -- even when engines were entirely mechanical; this was the function of the carburetor.

I will say that Hondas forward collision warning system never has a false negative. It saved me a fortune in insurance premiums by automatically breaking at the right time when I had to swerve out of the way of a oncoming car and almost rear ended a parked car. I hadn’t seen the parked car and would have put a real dent in it if it hadn’t stopped me.

I do hope they solve the phantom breaking issue, but I hope it doesn’t neuter the collision avoidance system.

Guess what happens if crypto would become bigger and actually a problem for all states globally?

Do you really think they will just accept this? In which way do you think they literlay can't control crypto anymore?

Just because its digital and on the internet, doesn't mean its digital only. It is not and as long as that is, its easy for a state to make sure crypto will never ever reach this level.

You don't believe a state can do this? Just a small reminder about the great firewall from china. There are countries who shut down their internet, literaly.
It's true that every country can print as much fiat money as they want. It is obviously not true that this will make everyone rich because money is not wealth. Money is just an accounting system. It is useful to have a money supply that tracks actual wealth because it is useful to have stable prices. It makes planning easier. Fiat money is useful because it allows inflation/defaltion to be controlled by policy rather than the whims of fate. But it's still up to us to choose the right policy.
Does that history include both real and false information? One would assume yes given they are archiving tweets and likely don't have the resources to determine which are factual vs not.
I think your take for solving this is somewhat wrong. The big issue isn't gas for electricity (only around 14% of gas in Germany is used for electricity) but gas for heating as well as industry, fertilizer and the likes.

This means the steps to solving this should begin with addressing those:

- Move heating systems away from gas (and oil). Heat Pumps are probably the best way moving forward.

- Moving the industry of gas and oil. Parts can probably be somewhat easily electrified, but parts like fertilizer and other chemical production probably should be converted to hydrogen. (Hydrogen generated from electricity, not gas, since that's a bit useless)

This means quite a bit more need for electricity where some of your proposals come in:

- Building nuclear power plants. Will probably take >15 years, so probably not helping much. Extending the runtime of existing plants might help, but I'm not sure how much.

- More coal. Will likely work. Capital costs are likely too high to use them instead of gas plants for filling gaps in renewable supply instead of investing in storage.

Some further important steps:

- Massive expansion of renewables. Very cheap and possible intermittency issues are likely not as important for producing hydrogen and gas. With sufficient overproduction and interconnection in europe the need for storage can be greatly reduced.

- Storage including Power to Gas. Meshes well with renewables. Especially Power-to-Gas will benefit from existing, then less used, infrastructure.

In general, LNG terminals are likely very helpful, especially for the next few years and high energy prices are probably going to happen.

I doubt that Russia can wean itself of Europe that easily. China won't be able to (fully) fill the gap (around 70% of russian gas is exported to europe) and is likely not that interested on heavily depending on foreign energy. LNG terminals are also very limited in capacity compared to pipelines and with europe switching more to LNG terminals a lot of new ships need to be built. Furthermore, if europe is successful in weaning off of fossil fuels, other countries are likely also going to reduce the need for gas due to scaling and learning effects (Renewables, especially solar, have seen huge cost reductions in the last 20 years and are killing of coal plants in Australia and electric cars are very likely going to kill of combustion engine cars in the next 10 years).

It's going to be very hard for both.
