There is no a lot of democracy in UA. Literally all opposition were shut down or applied sanction. No media other then telegram can work free. There is a big corruption on every level.

I dont like Russia or want them been there. But there is no such thing as single united Ukraine. Saying this is literally a crime and "putin propaganda"
That can easily be resolved by putting up taxes to a sufficiently high level to drain excess spending. Putin has the power to do that.

It's all there in Keynes' how to pay for the way - except Putin isn't running a liberal democracy that may object to high taxes.
This article seems to conflate two separate issues:

1) File systems could be modernised.

2) Files and folders as a metaphor break down when you have enough files, vs, say, search.

(1) is almost certainly true. (2) I don't think I agree with. If people use something like Confluence, things still get disorganised if people (such as me) make documents and folders in a way that's a mess, then they'll be a mess no matter the metadata.
> i wonder why MariaDB doesn't get similar amounts of attention, apart from maybe not being as actively developed?

I can obviously only speak for myself. But (in my opinion) Postgres simply offers the better overall package. I don't think there is a single "killer feature" that makes it better, but the sum of numerous things (JSON support, indexing, parallel query) that make it more efficient (and easier) to work with.

Note that the UUID type in MariaDB is not yet part of an officially released version. 10.7 is still in preview/alpha
The Apple strategy would be that it works fine and then 6 months in they release an update that specifically targets these devices and they are instantly worthless.
I would go further and suggest Putin's latest move made deployment of ICBMs somewhere like Estonia (which could theoretically have hosted them since the 90s) more likely, not less.
It's not idiotic. They are just friends with Putin. Just see where their former top officials are employed, how they torpedoed the Norway-Poland pipeline and how they were pushing Nordstream 2 even though everyone told them it will destabilize safety of Baltic states. It's not incompetence, it's too consistent.

I am hopeful about sanctions but I am afraid Germans won't allow ones that actually work.
Well, not that Germany had much to say when the US stationed patriot missiles. That's a tangent so. Don't forget the fact that, before the USSR sent missiles to Cuba the US had mid-range missiles in Turkey. And those were, by the way, closer to the USSR than the missiles in Cuba were to the US.

Reality isn't easily divided into good guys and bad guys...
Is it allowed to express concern about china gaining incentive influence through investments like this on HN?

Incredible really how things have moved on since this issue.
Torque is related to current so it’s not difficult to control, at least if you’re building your own device from procured IC parts. Hobbyist motor controllers for drones etc probably don’t often have that feature however.
> In fact, we're conditioned to feel hungry three times a day

It's a vicious hormonal circle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghrelin

Your body gets acclimated and expects three meals a day (+snacks if that how you were raised), anyone who has a pet and feed him at regular interval knows how it works. At that point it doesn't matter if you're hungry or not, your body will signal that you _need_ food. Most people follow what their body tells them without any after thought and that's how we get 70%+ of overweight people in the west.

Once people see food as fuel they usually have a whole different view on the topic.
That map is not up to date. They are already shelling Dnipro.
> A dollar spent on fusion is a dollar not spent on solar panels or turbines that would displace fossil fuels immediately

I see this claim a lot, but what makes this true? Why would money allocation be so inelastic, and why can't it become flexible?
This doesn't seem great. Soft links are not resilient to renames or removals of the "canonical tag". Hard links are not resilient to improving the file in photoshop.
SQL Server also has a dedicated data type for UUIDs
Sounds like malicious compliance.

But electronic forms can be easily ignored. If so, I'd follow up with printing it out and handing it to the person responsible for handling it. If it's not handled immediately, then also deliver it to their boss. And so on. It has to actually be painful to the bureaucracy so they want to change it.

Applied to this example of course changes, you could do something simple like changing the title or intro and then physically going to each other person and telling them they need to approve the change.

Then innocently change it again right after approval. ("What? It's a WIP! I have a responsibility to make updates to teach the course in the best way.")

Bonus points to get other co-workers in on it so you're not the problem-person.
This is outrageous agitprop/misinformation.

If "Russian influence" is on the table, then so is "CIA influence".

Or wait, lets talk about "General Dynamics Influence", and yes, with a capital-I.

And then we shall proceed to the discussion of which particular entity has the most actual blood on its hands, of innocents, as rapidly as possible.
Cultural encroachment (think monroe doctrine), nato encroachment (think Cuban missile crisis). Less important but probably considered: geopolitically Russia needs buffer states in the east because there's no natural defenses/borders. It's an easy invasion from that direction.

Good article: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20220222-moldova-then-geo...

Key quote: “Russia is always anxious about foreign penetration – not only in terms of military involvement and political engagement but also in cultural terms,” Fasola told FRANCE 24. He pointed to the so-called “colour revolutions” that brought pro-Western governments to power in Georgia (2003) and Ukraine (2004) – and which the Kremlin perceived as “instruments of the West to drive those countries away from Russia”.

I think their dissonance comes from seeing Western culture as the default. Indian content is seen as unusual, and evokes strong other-ism.
Without the made-up title the point is lost but there really isn't much point left, in this case. Bug tracker post titles are an edge case the title rules don't deal with all that well, as you've recently commented yourself. But it's not a particularly important edge case by the expedient that most bug tracker posts (especially to live bugtrackers) are lousy HN posts to begin with.
true. YOOX is totally a unicorn.

and before the boom: tiscali.
So far, most false info seems to be recognisable by a non-expert within a few minutes of research.

For example, when I see a twitter video of army trucks going down a freeway geotagged, I can at least use satellite view on google maps to match up landmarks and confirm the location is accurate, and I can check the sun position and weather to get an idea if the date/time is accurate.

Most 'fake news' stories seem to fail even these basic checks, although it would be pretty easy to fake these elements too.
There are NATO fighters & tanks of other alliance members continuously deployed in these regions.
Fission is obviously no clean energy. The previous posts claiming neutralizing nuclear wastes in 600 years was a solution was absurd. But yeah, completely decommission nuclear power plants now for sure would be controversial. But I'm in no position to judge that decision. It's all about trade off, but for what is a question.
Most of the rest of the world is China, and they are building some 20 nuclear power plants at the moment.
Ukraine could not not join NATO after Crimea and Donbass war in 2014.

Before 2014, less than 70% of Ukrainians supported joining NATO, according to polls. About 30% supported actually joining Russia, and 60% supported a union with Russia.

Everything changed in 2014, when Russia unilaterally invaded Ukraine. Less than 3% support joining Russia, and about 70% support joining NATO. After 2014, they realized Russia will never stop, so NATO was their only option (it's actually NATO that didn't want to accept them, as they worry about safety of all its members).
It is much simpler than that: fission is mature tech; its cost is not on the way down. Solar costs are still in free fall, wind almost as much so. The cheaper those get, the less competitive fission gets, just standing still.

The corruption tax on fission projects just exacerbates its structural problem.

Honestly, I’ve seen people being strongly nationalist both offline and online, in the USA and Europe just as much.

I don’t there’s much connection to ethnicity, rather people are just bad at taking criticism in general.
Folders impose a tree shape to file organization which then has to be awkwardly worked around with symlinks, indexes and whatever the heck those library things on windows used to be.

That said folders are useful as a concept, but maybe flip things so that the folder is a tag on the file, and I can "move" or "copy" a file by changing its tags. And still present a visual folder structure by default in the file browser.

The biggest loss with this approach is namespacing... Not sure what the best option there is.

I agree with your overall sentiment that fighting beurocracy by dumping more paperwork is a good strategy.

However, that should be last resort in my opinion. Based on my experience, people (especially IT staff) are reasonable if you explain the issue nicely. Remember, honey attracts more bees than vinegar.
The same happened with /r/syriancivilwar back in 2014-2015, in that case it was even more depressing because you also had some nutjobs like ISIS directly involved in said conflict, which meant massacres like this one [1] getting reported almost in real time, with images from the place where it had all happened and all that. The 2014 fight between Russia and Ukraine was also heavily documented in almost real time.

...but how many of those were killed by Russian forces? If Russia attacked US troops in Afghanistan then yeah, that would have been a comparable situation. US isn't going to nuke Afganistan over killing American soldiers, because that's not the stated policy.

Why would I want to mix Bing search results with stuff from my filesystem?
AFAIK the running out of fuel would be a non-issue with breeder reactors, which are disliked for the proliferation risk they are. Well, trade-offs.

Also: currently, nuclear fuel cost is a small part of running a reactor. If nuclear fuel follows a similar cost/available quantity curve as other geologic resources, we should be able to find more once we start looking in earnest.
I'd be happy to wave gestures for stuff that people normally use Alexa/Siri for, because while I talk to myself out loud all the time, talking to a computer is weird.

Ask HN: Which tech entities will be a part of sanctions against Russia?
This is all for hypothetical discussion. The US sanctions against Iran can be used as a good measuring stick.

Will the US deny local tech manufacturers the permission to sell to Russian entities (Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Apple)?

Will internet services be denied permission to do business in Russia (Youtube, Valve)?

The Russian nation has many local versions of internet services for social media and video games, but how easy is it going to be to upkeep them without new components from mainly US controlled manufacturers?
Well, I am under the impression that even a static page can have security flow, because of this article : https://medium.com/cyberdefendersprogram/making-your-jekyll-...

I’ll give you four specific examples in the Portland area:

1. The I84/I5 interchange. ODOT wants to upgrade it. There has had to be an extreme amount of community push-back to get the proposal even half way integrated with the city itself. As it stands now, it includes partial capping and better bike and transit options above ground. However, it still expands car capacity.

2. The I5 bridge across the Columbia River. It needs to be replaced for seismic and age reasons. The community wants there to be expanded infrastructure for non-cars across one of only two bridges across the Columbia near the city. The other bridge was built recently(ish) and doesn’t have any meaningful non-car transit options. The community wants, at a bare minimum, there to be light rail going from Portland to Vancouver, WA included in a bridge project. So far, that hasn’t quiet materialized.

3. There are many roads in Portland still “owned” by the state. 82nd Ave used to be a good example, though it was transferred to the city last year. These roads have notoriously poor maintenance and high traffic deaths since they really aren’t well-designed for urban areas. (Too fast, too wide, too many access points to be a proper highway, etc.)

4. When the initial freeways were built in Portland, the original plan was for there to be several more highways than there are today. You can see many locations in the existing infra where a highway was meant to connect in but was never built. The Mt. Hood freeway is an example. It took very significant community pushback to get those projects cancelled.

Here’s my take on this, as a Portland resident. The state of Oregon is willing to spend billions of dollars upgrading transportation infrastructure in the Portland area. Why the fuck does 99% of that have to go to highways? Why can’t, say, 50% of it go to vastly expanding bike infrastructure to reduce the cost of road maintenance? That still leaves 50% of, again, billions of dollars of projects to car projects. I’m not even talking 50% of the state transportation budget, I’m talking 60% of the money they would already be spending in our community.

We basically just want more efficient transit methods to get more funding. It’s ok (to me) if the I84/I5 interchange gets improved. It currently sucks and doesn’t feel safe. But I’m not in favor of doing that project without first spending a lot of money or more effective and efficient transportation options. If there’s billions of dollars to be spent on infra, it should absolutely be going to bikes and transit first.

> The reason we have such terrible fires now is that we keep putting out fires when they're small.

No, the reason why the fires are so terrible is because we build way too fucking close to forests. When your house is a couple hundred meters away from a forest that's prone to catch fire, say goodbye to your house in case of a large forest fire.

We need to stop encroaching on nature so hard when building settlements, just like our ancestors did - they respected that nature needs distance from humans. Not just because of fires, but also because of pandemics, landslides, floods, hurricanes, storms... nature is dangerous, no matter how technologically advanced we become as a species - it seems as if humanity has gotten a bit megalomaniac in that regard, and we are all paying the price each year for that. And it's not going to get better, only worse with how climate change has increased the severity of extreme weather events.

Alternatively: make it clear to people that in the case they want to live in a fire-prone area, they have to protect (e.g. invest in deep underground water tanks for a powerful sprinkler system) and insure themselves. There will be no public investment or action in firefighting for areas designated fire-prone. Why should firefighters have to risk their lives for people who knowingly built houses in a fire-prone area?

Is Torchlight a rip off of Diablo or do they just use similar mechanics and ideas?
I went to college when the postwar (WW II) expansion had not quite ended. The college was not elite itself, and I must say there was a pretty fair show of Harvard crimson whenever the faculty gowned up (commencements, I guess).

Yes indeed, 'cleancoder0' seems to have gained their understanding of middle Europe from a Tom Clancy novel, or whatever.

For many of us in Europe, including Austria, peace with Russia is considered a very good thing, and a lot of us want it, having lived through the enmities of hate and spite that was hoisted upon us during the Cold War.

Imagine if, indeed, the economic powerhouse of Europe+Russia were allowed to happen. If only certain entities weren't so committed to profiting from the balkanization of everything, hmm...
Why do you think Russia would attack NATO member? War has its own costs, Russia probably has some calculation. I don't think we will see any combat from Russian sides, at least on NATO member.
