> Big talk from an organization

It's not an organization — it's Moshe Vardi.

Communications is essentially a venue for editorials targeted at members of the ACM. Publications in Communications do not necessarily reflect the values of the ACM itself as an organization. (Publications in Communications are also not peer-reviewed.)

This is evident even just from the text of the linked article, considering the author explicitly calls out the ACM for failing to consider what he believes to be important issues:

> I have seen practically no serious discussion in the ACM community of its relationship with surveillance-capitalism corporations. For example, the ACM Turing Award, ACM's highest award, is now accompanied by a prize of US$1 million, supported by Google.
Apples and oranges.

I think Lex is a fine interviewer considering his background, and short time podcasting. Can you provide examples of him being a terrible interviewer?
Ask HN: Can't Ukraine lease/sell border land to EU temporarily
Why can't Ukraine sell, say 5 KM of land along border to EU for a $ with an option to buy back at 100% premium? No Russian tanks/aircraft can fly thereby protecting. Instead of Ukraine joining NATO NATO can play this credible gimmmick, just like Russia played a gimmmick by declaring independence.
Funny how you could call it either a "revolution" or a "coup", and they both mean more or less the same thing, but "coup" delegitimizes it, while "revolution" legitimizes it.

Anyway, the revolution overthrew a pro-Russian, anti-EU president. So there you go.
I believe they're referring to LulzSec. IIRC, they created a "ddos app" called orbital cannon something-or-other that was designed to take down paypal and visa for limiting payments to wikileaks. Interesting times.
What I dont understand, since these cars use ABS, shouldnt you always be able to steer it (even if it fully breaks).
If this wasn't a dead giveaway, the Sun is a tabloid so unlikely to be true unless you have a more credible source:

"RUSSIAN soldiers began bombarding Ukraine yesterday — with Tinder messages looking for love."
Hahaha elite Russians like Putin and friends will be so glad to extract all the life of slavery you so gladly gave them if you prepare to surrender. Pro-tip: newspaper rolled up in your pants to protect your knees and legs. Having to get down in a big rush with no kneepads gets old and bloody very quickly.
And what are the odds this will be done before next winter?
why would anybody like Zuckerberg want to interview with Rogan? Lex is highly educated, well-spoken and knows about interview topics in depth
There are cases when you might be right, but your advice does not apply to Russian invasions.

The millions of people who have lived in the countries from Eastern Europe, all of which have been invaded by the Russians at the end of WWII, have learned that being ruled by the Russian government, either directly or indirectly through their servants that are installed as supposedly independent local governments is far worse than being ruled by any other elite.

Not only the Russian elites have always been greedier than other elites, but they were not content to steal your assets, they also forced you to say all the time that you are happy about it, which was even more annoying than being dispossessed.
I wish each language, framework and library had a manual on HOW to read their docs.

I have a very hard time with reading the official PHP docs. Very hard time.

The official JavaScript docs are not bad, but they throw too much information about each operation. I don't want to know every single possible way to use an operation. I want a Pareto Principle-based categorization of most common use-cases so that I can prioritize what to look at.
The point is why not be more energy independent with domestic nuclear rather than increasing dependence on gas from Russia (or anyone else)?
The exchanges can be regulated, but good luck trying to regulate a global peer to peer network!
Let me shake your hand :) This is the first thing I do in these situations. The second - I explain and encourage others to do the same.
As a reaction to floods in Indonesia, the USA has sent several helicopters as aid, the Germany several motor boats, and the USSR a truckload of "Swimming 101" textbooks.
There is no not Russian gas. Germany hasn’t got the capacity to import enough liquified gas using ships. It’s going to take years to build enough terminals and it’s unlikely to ever be cheaper than buying Russian gas (I don’t think it’s in Russia’s interest to hike their prices too much (longterm) since that would make it easier to replace them).
this is closer to what Redmatica (now Logic) AutoSampler used to do.... you would just play notes (separately by space), it would split by space, detect the root note for each sample, and then make a multisample out of it.

but actually trying to reproduce a real instrument involves legato between notes, handling pitch and timbre changes as you play, etc. So a much harder problem.
Is Github still the type of place that changes your branch names from master to main, (for your own good of course) and bans usage of the word "meritocracy" so as not to hurt people's feelings?
That's not universally true for internal combustion engines. Many old diesels had a "rack" that was tied to a system of levers. Each lever controlled a single fuel injector. The throttle cable was tied to this rack.
That's a lot of damage against a reinforced concrete structure for an anti-air weapon. I think it's at least as likely to be an impact from an air-to-surface weapon, which would also have solid propellent. The flight profile looks much more consistent with a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft launch than a surface-to-air launch (especially since, as you mentioned, it's clearly in the early-ish stages of flight). A Buk launch could be vaguely plausible (the Strela series has VERY small warheads), but I don't see the S-300 having that kind of failure mode early in flight.

As you said though, the full picture will come out later. Hopefully they'll find some identifiable weapon fragments eventually.
I would argue that stifling debate with black and white thinking is more responsible for allowing tyrants to thrive.
UVB-76/the Buzzer Live
One thing that did stick out was when they both acknowledged the interview was scheduled for 5-6 hours. One wonders how much revealing conversation didn't make it past the lawyers' approval.
Banning miners would send them to the next-most corrupt country with cheap energy.

A more meaningful move would be to ban exchanges, so that miners can no longer take exit liquidity at the expense on retail "investors".
Smaller groups can do without code review, CI/CD and issue tracking? I mean I guess if your "smaller group" is literally 1 or 2 people.
Does it stop being like that? I turned it off and stopped watching because I got tired of hearing about how great the "metaverse" will be.
> since it's not taken yet, or wasn't at the moment this was posted.

what do you mean with "taken"? who takes what?
Convenience and security are always in tension - and steam account takeovers are very common, as they can have tradable assets worth hundreds or thousand of dollars.
Because the EU wouldn’t want to buy it?
If you're interested in learning more about the factors influencing ageing, you could do worse than listening to dr Horvath talking about epigenetics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_aaBKubJnA

The summary as I understood is that hereditary factors will determine about 40% of your ageing rate. Doing the right things (eating your greens etc) will affect maybe 10-15% of your ageing rate if you're generally healthy. Avoiding the bad stuff (obesity, smoking, alcohol) will drastically affect your healthspan and lifespan.

It's hard to take these men as an example not to care. Who knows what genetic cards they were dealt, and who knows how much luck or invisible preparedness they have with their bodies. The conventional health wisdom you mention is borne of millions more examples and unequivocally points in the direction of keeping your body in as good a shape as possible through your whole life.
17 degrees might _feel_ cold, but it's definitely not cold at a level that's problematic to the human body. If it's a choice between wearing your coat inside or Russia taking over Ukraine, I think we should seriously opt for the former.
Still using DRM-less FX and Opteron machines today. Hot but no surprises ;)
We used Zulip at $job[-1] and it was awfully painful. I’ve used nearly every chat client invented since the BBS days, and Zulip was one of my least favorite. We’re using Slack now at $job and I vastly prefer it (even though I still call it “IRC”).

The biggest selling points of Zulip, from the POV of the people who put it in place and truly loved it, were that it’s free/OS software, it has explicit threads as a first class citizen, and that it’s very configurable. All those things are true.

The day-to-day use was painful, though. It was riddled with UX problems, e.g., forgetting state between restarts, inconsistent hotkey support, multi-action use paths for common cases, frequent full reloads of its web view. I’d much rather use vanilla IRC than Zulip.

Slack is just enough of a shim layer on IRC, and with good usability. It has threads, and in use it’s not a problem that you can’t name them like Zulip. The integrations are nice to have (e.g., type `/zoom` to start a Zoom meeting) but not a big deal. The UX is clear and predictable and (mostly) stays out of my way.
I would wager the amphetamine doses given in those 2 examples were quite different than what is typically prescribed by (responsible) Drs treating ADHD today.

In Eden's case, it mentions that he was actually using Dexamyl[1], which is actually a amphetamine mixed with a barbituate. Though the dose isn't given, I'd imagine it was 'as needed' and largely uncontrolled. Uppers + downers tends to lead to bad results.

In JFK's case, he was treated by Max Jacobson a.k.a. 'Dr Feelgood'[2,3], and it wasn't just amphetamines; he made up injections of all kinds of vitamins, steroids, and speed. Again, it was 'as needed' and likely overdosed. Dr Jacobson would ultimately lose his medical license.

For ADHD, the maximum daily limit for amphetamine salts is 60mg in adults, and the recommended dose for ADHD is no more than 40mg/day. At those levels, there isn't a ton of evidence of deleterious effects, certainly not psychosis, as long as sleep isn't overly impacted. A carefully controlled max dose of 40-60mg a day is a far cry from the days of 'poppin' bennies' ad libitum.

As a side note, one has to wonder if the last, and almost certainly the current, US Presidents were/are prescribed stimulants. President Trump speaks for himself, but even President Biden seems to range widely in his level of energy and lucidity. With a job so important, where appearances matter, and with a team of doctors that can give you whatever they want, I think it would be naive to think they don't write Adderall scripts.

I heat my home at 17.5c and it's quite comfortable, even for programming, if you have good clothes.
The most successful person in Babylon
That's pure virtue signalling. Well off people can afford certain sacrifices. Why should people living month to month have to suffer more for what politicians decide to do in other countries.

Also, talking of hanging people. Start with the west. Iraq, Yemen, Libya etc. Wherever the west intervenes, hell follows.
Lex equally didn't have much to say to Jim Keller. There was a bit of back and forth but it just felt pointless (all programmers should know what a branch predictor is, especially ones about to interview Jim Keller!) Or a bit childish: at one I think Fridman asks him what his greatest achievement is in a slightly corny way, and Keller just remarks that he has children.
The "US attack" was a figment of their imagination. The Russian attack on Ukraine is not a figment of imagination.
in this context it would be Russia takes Ukrainian military equipment to disarm resistance
Nope, they don't even need the armband:

(6) Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.
I used to get similarly frustrated at Lex’s interviewing style compared to say, Sean Carol’s (mindscape podcast). I realized that Lex isn’t really doing interviews; he’s having guests on to converse and shoot the shit with. He will regularly talk about his own ideas and bounce them off the guests, which is quite atypical.

However if you think of it as getting to listen to two friends just chatting or having a beer, it can make for interesting content. Shift your mindset and it might be more enjoyable.
I don’t think your rudeness is appropriate or helps satisfy intellectual curiosity. It sounds like you have some formal training in IR, how about you contribute at a level befitting your education? So much for that.

The ICC is a great example of why “international law” is a dead letter if not a total fraud. I’m sure you’re aware that the US based empire doesn’t acknowledge its authority. The US based empire permits the ICC to act only when it serves the empire’s interests. So much for normalization and codification.

Finally, I never said “winners write history.” I said they write the rules. Conflating the two is intellectually sloppy or a straw man. So much for reading comprehension.
Still Lisbon :) This is a poorly-hidden advertisement for my home town. That said I know plenty of people renting their flats in London, Amsterdam etc for a few months while they soak up the sun here.
No. 25c is ridiculously hot. Do you suggest I drape a wet rag over my forehead as well? Room temp above 20c borders on criminal.
The question is about what can be done immediately. Insulating existing buildings is a long term project; in fact it is something that the UK has been failing to do over the last several decades. But reducing average household temperatures can be done overnight and in fact we have done it in the UK before in the energy crises of the 1970's when people were urged to turn the heating down to 68°F (20°C) and commercial operations were reduced to three days of operation per week.
She would. But as the husband and after saying "i'll get to it", it really is my job and I need to get off my ass to do it. My wife does so much for the household and is a very patient person, by the time she does get pissed it's warranted.

Re: getting kicked out was an exaggeration, and this original comment was more a "i need to do the small daily things to keep my wife happy because that really is the most important thing I can be doing at this moment, not procrasti-working and reading HN". It was more toungue-in-cheek than anything.

By the way: I DID finally clean the garage and it looks wonderful, so crisis averted.
What are the odds that enough nuclear plants for this will be opened before next winter. Maybe if 0% of imported gas was used for electricity generation non Russian sources would be sufficient for heating (just guessing)
I am absolutely happy to call the Russian government evil, I don't live too far away from Salisbury so it's not exactly a theoretical discussion.
...and spends all his time saying he's "spreading love" and telling people how humble he is as his main selling points.

It's like a race to the bottom of virtue signalling.

And I cannot stand the self-indulgent vocal fry.
I really hate cold showers or being cold in Winter in general... but if that's what it takes to support Ukraine, then it's worth it.
Ah, neat. They thought of that too. Should've scrolled further, my thanks for pointing it out.
What was the name of that anesthesiologist who about decade ago did a lot of work in desktop UI latency in Linux kernel? How did it went? Was any of it integrated to mainline kernel?
I can't open a bank, but i can run a node.
Since you're out of the loop, FYI Swaziland is now Eswatini!
Yes, but if you're root, you could also peer into the terminal emulator's memory space itself, and see that, too. Or into their sshd process, and pull the plaintext out of that. You're root.

You might also find the man pages wall(1) and write(1) (That's the terminal utility write, not the syscall write(2).) interesting.

(Edit: well, actually, if you're SSH'd into a remote host, your terminal emulator is probably local, so you might not be able to see into its memory unless you're root locally, ofc.)
Some of the newer OnePlus devices have postmarketOS support, and they all have LineageOS support. However, I've heard that the latest OnePlus phone's 5G doesn't work on AT&T for some reason. Not sure about the other carriers. It seems like a bad time to get a 5G phone. Hopefully things are better in a few years.
Couldn't steam use longevity to decide whether to accept crypto transactions and cancel entire accounts for fraudulent activity?

Don't let bob create a new account with zero games and double spend his way to a free game because he has nothing to lose.

If Sam who has 100 games in his account with 10 year longevity cheats you insist he make good on his transaction or ban his account and don't ever let him create a new one with the same name and billing address. Sam is highly unlikely to value playing a singular game more than his account.

This seems absolutely trivial to avoid problems with.
> changes your branch names from master to main

It’s a trivial name change, stay mad.
I used bitcoin all the time on steam and there was a time when they were using 1 conf but the majority of the time they used 0 conf with bitpay. Couldn't find anything official with a quick goog but here is a reddit comment from 5years ago corroborating 0 confs on steam: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6arpvq/comment/dhg...
Short answer: that's not how borders work.
Thanks for supporting my point. Additionally, 'coup' in my view has the connotations of a regime overthrow by a militant minority, which does not seem to have been the case.
Taking down internet websites isn't anywhere close to "fight against Russian tanks and troops"

The reason they didn't extend them was that they didn't want to go through the senate vote, and also because of the extreme controversy it caused. Trudeau had said earlier he wanted to extend them past the 30 days. So it's weird to say that the controversy and reactions were baseless because their intended goal was achieved. And that was to make Trudeau's decision as politically costly and controversial as possible.

Also accounts were still seized over a protest, so it doesn't matter if it was from people donating or those who were protesting

What? Lex is my -favorite- interviewer. People say he's robotic and whatnot, but if you watch his face, eyes, and gestures...you can tell he thinks deeply about every single thing he is about to say. He is, unlike Rogan, generally knowledgeable enough already to make comments or ask questions. And he doesn't try to 'gotcha'. To me it's just watching two incredibly bright people speak casually, which I guess isn't everyone's forte, but is very enjoyable.
That’s good context, but I did specify gasoline.
This is a hard argument to make. "Strictly speaking"--based on only the arguments and references made here--"NATO is a defensive alliance against Russia" seems to only be false in that the USSR is not Russia (though I wonder if Putin even believes that?)... that it can do other things seems irrelevant, and origin stories matter deeply.
Those twitter threads you linked are right wing conspiracy theory trash
NASA has been strategically ambiguous about the possibility of life on Mars since Viking 1. What’s changed now that they’re touting “plant-like formations”? That seems uncharacteristically suggestive.
As a Canuck, who lives where June is 17C, and doesn't wear anything but a tshirt and pants, and often shorts at 17C, this gloves comment amuses me.

Gloves get worn at maybe -5C, -10C. Maybe.
I think while Russia thinks creatively, the other side thinks linearly. Spain, UK, France or Poland should buy the land and poke a finger at the aggressor - just a thought.
For a lot of people, running your own node is technobabble. They see the billboard, install the app, and hope they are going to get rich - quick!
That's what these Ukrainians are doing, although ironically Putin's rhetoric is precisely that - he is fighting Nazis in Ukraine!
For those unaware, the attempted Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 was an embarrassing failure for the USSR. They managed to take only a small part of the country while suffering tremendous loss, despite a much larger army.
Germany to send Ukraine surface-to-air missiles and anti-tank weapons
Only about ~40 users, so it's definitely an issue. Haven't investigated yet but this reminded me that we should.

Digital sound archives can bring extinct birds (briefly) back to life
Simply because LN isn't practical:

- You still need to open (and close) a channel, paying BTC fees.

- To accept a payment, you need to first lock up balance.

- You need to always be online, otherwise your channel is closed.

- Sometimes your payment can fail, if you cannot find a route. This risk increases with the payment amount.

- Sometimes, you cannot even find a payment route, so you need to open another channel.

- Sometimes, the other person on the other side of your channel might close your channel.

- Despite all this, payments might still have a relatively expensive fee (in addition to the BTC fees).

People are trying to create solutions for these problems, but they're often either quite complex, introduce third-party dependency or both.
Replacing the current megarich with a different set of megarich isn't "shaking up the class system". It's just changing the nametags.

I don't think I have a broader point here, but I do want to note that ACM is (of course) more significantly than a corporation, a professional association. The idea that professions should have codes of ethics goes back to a couple hundred BC, right? Of course, just about as old is the idea of professionals violating those codes for $$$.

> A person could reasonably reflect on personalized advertising and ask: "what concrete harms have been done?" I think it would be hard to point out much that is unambiguous. People like to bring up Cambridge Analytica or social media misinformation, but neither case is necessarily advertising related.

IMO one aspect of being an ethical person is considering ambiguity to be resolved in the 'bad' direction. This shouldn't terminate thought on the topic, just lead to further investigation by those who want to do something ad related. Are there ambiguous harms? (I haven't thought much about the underlying morality of ads themselves -- I find them annoying as a consumer but they aren't my field).
