This post already got marked as flagged/dead ten minutes ago. I'm glad HN has the option to "vouch" for posts.
Both Apple and Google offer remote wiping of devices as features, and they both have root access on all of their devices. They can do whatever they want to on anyone's phone.
So, on one side we have advertisers in cooperation with youtube to push an obscure amounts of ads to a video, sometimes even more (in length) than the video itself + the youtubers themselvs having sponsored segments...

...on the other side we have something we have to pay to skip those ads (only the youtube ones, not the in-video ones), but youtube and google still tracks us, still shows us ads on other sites (eg. slow cooker ads, after watching clow cooker reviews on youtube...

...and on the "alternative" side, we have a free solution, that stops all the youtube ads, skips all the in-video ads, and blocks all the ads on other sites, makes our internet faster, makes our batteries last longer, and pay less when we have limited data plans.
I'm confused - the parent is referring to a "did", but you said "could".
As history shows again and again, attacks against the civilian population only serve to strenghten the support for the local tyrant. This would be just as counter-effective as the sanctions.
Scrolling the desktop is accomplished through keybindings, clicking the screen edges, or three-finger swipes, all of which are configurable. I'm not sure how it would interfere with in-app scrolling, and I use PaperWM primarily.
It is a true tragedy that SS13 will never have the enormous following it deserves. I often struggle to convey how engaging an experience it is, even with an absurdly obtuse interface. Dwarf Fortress is a lot of fun too, but nothing can surpass the emergent, anarchic glory of SS13.

If I can sway you in this comment, please. Treat yourself to two full playthroughs with the wiki open in another tab. You may just be hooked.
My approach is actually (1) but with a time delay. If you react immediately it gets re-uploaded and streisan'd. If you wait a few weeks or months you can do a precision strike and its gone from people's minds and their cache's.
128 cores is only 2x 64 cores, and 64 cores is a whopping 4x what AMD's top dog desktop CPU offers, so if you have to go this far for exceptions to be slow, then maybe they don't matter for most users.
Why is that? For those who dont follow closely? ( And did those got fired get hired again ? )

I can never forget the surreal feeling when logging into the first time in Elwynn Forest with its iconic music in the background. Very idyllic.

There is something about WoW graphics. Its a right balance between cartoonish and photo-realism.

They are on a drone scale (the purpose of my comment) and you've acknowledged this yourself:

> but also can have significant eddies induced by the fire, landscape, and vegetation. This would make it very difficult for a drone to remain stable and on course, let along drop ordinance with any accuracy.
Brilliant idea, would definitely not have any knock-on effects or cause any retributive cyber-attacks
Russia cannot feel safe and develop, exist without the constant threat emanating from the territory of modern Ukraine. Let me remind you that in 2000, 2005 we gave a military rebuff to terrorists in the Caucasus, we defended the integrity of our state, preserved Russia, and in 2014 we supported the people of Crimea and Sevastopol. In 2015, the armed forces were used to put a reliable barrier to prevent the penetration of terrorists from Syria to Russia. There was no other way we could protect ourselves. The same thing is happening now. You and I have simply not been given any other opportunity to protect Russia and our people except the one we will have to use today. Circumstances require us to act resolutely and immediately. The People's Republics of Donbass appealed to Russia for help. In this regard, in accordance with Article 51 of Part 7 of the UN Charter, with the approval of the Federation Council of Russia and pursuant to the Federal Assembly on February 22 of this year ratified treaties on friendship and mutual assistance with the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic I made a decision to conduct a special military operation. Its goal is to protect people who have been abused by the genocide of the Kyiv regime for 8 years. And to this end, we will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, as well as bringing to justice those who committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation. At the same time, our plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories. We are not going to impose anything on anyone by force. At the same time, we hear more often lately from the West that documents signed by the Soviet totalitarian regime that fixed the results of the Second World War should we not be implemented. What can we respond to that? The results of the Second World War, as well as the sacrifices made by our people on the altar of the victory over Nazism, are sacred. But this does not contradict the high values of human rights and freedoms based on the realities that have developed during all post-war decades. It also does not cancel the right of nations to self-determination enshrined in Article 1 of the UN Charter. Let me remind you that when the USSR was created after the Second World War, people who lived in certain territories included in modern Ukraine, no one ever asked them how they themselves wanted to build their life. Our policy is based on freedom of choice for all to determine their own future and that of their children.

Thank you for the report.

When even the US government is moved to act on something affecting public health, it has progressed far beyond the point where we need to wonder whether it is real. Of course the EU acted earlier.

Postings on HN should not convince anyone on their own. They are a hint, ideally with a pointer to more information. In this case, searching on "Fred Kummerow" reveals all.

What I wonder now is whether Crisco, identified on the label as "fully hydrogenated palm oil", but also "trans fats: 0g", is on the up and up. Hydrogenation was the name of the process that was creating the toxic trans fats. But it is also descriptive of changing carbon double-bonds in a lipid backbone into single bonds, and terminating the spares with hydrogen atoms (hence the name). So it makes me wonder what process they are using, and whether it would work on any old oil, or only on palm oil; and if the latter, why?
oooh my gawd, I love that

Between this and the takeover of Afghanistan it certainly has been an extremely sad year.

The End of History? Not so fast. Free people not having a good run here.
And whats wrong with that? seriously asking.
Kapersky? If it's running Kapersky it's not running anything that critical. The cyberwarfare capabilities of the US, EU and allies are not to be underestimated, even if they have used more precisely and conservatively than Russia's sphere.
Putin has been growing and funding his online and offline armies well, while the West has been sleeping at the wheel for years.

Different devices for different banking, ie an iphone & mobile data for HSBC, a laptop and ADSL for Lloyds, the library, PC World & other shops with computers on display with net access for other bank accounts, besides the obligatory friend network, doing the above. Being in a city helps you blend into the background, being in the countryside will be like a virtual lock down.

Make sure you have a passport, because myself and someone else spent the best part of an hour or two trying to past Google's I'm not a robot when trying to get a passport. The fact Govt uses Googles I'm not a Robot should also show you there is more to Google than meets the eye.

I can see why the rich have dual citizenship and multiple passports, with the richest having diplomatic passports, making them untouchable anywhere in the world!

It might seem like a lot of effort, but when you realise who easy it is to set people up, buy off judges, police, medical experts, etc, you'll realise blackmail can come from everyone and anyone including your family, because there are some messed up beliefs out there.
> I guess I also wanna say that I'm sorry Cloudflare. I realize that I'm not the target market. I am literally not giving Cloudflare any money. There is no reason they should support an esoteric and bizarre configuration that I do. But what they do, they do pretty well. So, thanks, I guess, for letting me (and probably lots of other people) run their websites and services from a NUC under their dorm's bunk bed.

No need to apologize. Happy to have you. Promise, we won't sell your data or do anything sleazy. Too easy to leave us if we did. And good luck in college!

PS - When you get a good paying job after college and they ask whether they should use Cloudflare or not, hope you'll tell them how well we treated you. That's how we get most of our multi-million dollar customers.
You can pay for YouTube premium for no ads. You already get to choose between free, with ads or paid without.

The "adaptation" you're calling for is what exactly? YouTube hosting and serving video content as a charity?
Doesn't matter. The competitor could have a (legal) real-time mirror of all the UGC, but no users would interact with it -- they'd give their likes and comments to the real Instagram. Nobody would visit the competitor's app to post new UGC, either -- people post on Instagram for the likes and comments.

The value is in the network, not the IP.
You don’t understand, they are “nazi” because they are nationalists and support their country. So Russian nazis are going to attack Ukrainian nazis do “denazificate” them.

I doubt they would do that. It would cause Apple's biggest market, China, to rethink allowing Apple and Google devices in their country.
News like these are huge enough to feature on HN, but at the same time I understand why PG always tried to mitigate this. Here you have a lot of people who are most likely technically smart in their fields, but a substantial fraction of the comments seem completely detached.

> atlgator says this is b/c Putin didn't get his gas pipeline, completely reversing the causality of why the pipeline was put on hold yesterday.

Russian tanks and artillery don't use the Google Play Store. You're witnessing a mechanized land war in Ukraine, Silicon Valley won't solve this one.
"Why is this news" is almost always an unnecessarily provocative "high-heat low-light" question. It's more substantial to point out mitigating factors and add missing context, as you also did.
Not the whole country, just the President. Remember, the Russian people generally do not want any wars, they are not very prosperous and happy.
Nuclear proliferation, like it or not, has done more for global peace than US military/trade hegemony. Ukraine gave up all its nukes in the 90s which is why this is happening now.
Not sure if you are joking or not, but no, his numbered list of issues does not make a perfect sense.

Item 1 is irrelevant -- one very rarely cares about fixed-size metadata record for file, because one doesn't normally cache metadata for each file on filesystem in memory. Items 3 and 1 contradict -- if the file record has an arbitrary number of tags, it cannot be fixed-size. Item 4 is solved by MacOS (via access-via-inode) and Windows (via file tracker service). I cannot quite understand what he means by item 5 but maybe he is talking about Windows not having trusted "ctime" field? If so, this just Windows' problem, all Unixes solved it long time ago.

You may want to check the technical merits before recommending the project for adoption.
"A radar that can't handle noise is poorly designed..."

I agree with the general tenet of your post but do we know what the status of the radar's RX's front end is like in practice?

From my experience, many of the front ends of older radar receivers are primitive by comparison with today's state of the art in that they have very bad crossmoduation figures (basic diode mixers etc.).
Congratulations! You bring an idea to brick all Russian phones including phones of opposition, people who against the war, political prisoners, and other people who just live in the country.

I am for keeping Ukraine as a neutral buffer separating Russia and the US.

NATO proposed Ukrainian and Georgian membership of NATO in 2005-2008, in the clear knowledge that this would destabilize the situation.

France, Germany, and others were against this. The proposal began the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJBQikfYyKs

We then openly backed the 2014 putsch in Kiev, an open act of aggression just as irresponsible as a military incursion. CIA John Brennan, Senator John McCain, and Diplomat Victoria Nuland were there in Ukraine when Yanukovych was being overthrown. There is also evidence to show that we were involved through NGOs in overthrowing and promoting an atmosphere desiring the overthrow of Yanukovych.

This war is about more than just Putin.

Research: George Friedman, Peter Zeihan, John Mearsheimer, Peter Hitchens, Noam Chomsky (more of an ideologue), etc. on this issue. You can start on YouTube OR read their books, I guess.

These are all PhDs or experts in some fashion that I just cited. You could just read their books too.

"F* the EU" said Diplomat Victoria Nuland -- knowing full well that the Germans and French would be against a coup in then-neutral Ukraine.

Meanwhile, once again, soon after the Iraq debacle: here we are getting dragged into another "war for democracy".

Russia and America turned Ukraine into a "if we can't have, burn it to the ground" situation. Further American intervention in Ukraine will just turn it into another Syria.
I would argue the US needs to batten down the hatches and become more isolationist. Let Europe deal with European problems. It's clear from the last 70 years, since WW2, that the US meddling in others' affairs only leads to death, destruction and more negative sentiment against the US.

If LBJ stuck to his promise, we could have avoid a ton of mess in Vietnam: "We are not about to send American boys nine or ten thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves."

We don't have a dog in this fight.

Edit: Apparently arguing for the US to not get involved in yet another foreign war warrants my comment being flagged.
Social techniques like that should be taught in schools.
While true it's not impossible for engineers to make mistakes, even experienced senior engineers.

I think the mistake here is perhaps the idea that what is proposed are actually problems that need solving. The idea of indexes being managed by the OS is sort of handwaved away in the article because: "they have to store their indexing information in a separate database. It is easy for the database to become out of synchronization with the file system. Also, to speed up the indexing process, users often only index a portion of the file system so using the index might not turn up the file(s) you were looking for."

A second mistake is thinking it's possible to solve the "what is this file" problem:

The metadata record does not have a file classification system. To determine what is in a file, the file name or the data stream must be examined.

This will always be true. You can make a best effort based on some indicators but it will always be prone to problems. What ever system you create that you believe will address this problem will be prone to failures, almost by necessity, because a "type" of a file is largely a philosophical thing that everyone pretends is technical. Even if you solve for 90% of cases, you're still going to have enough problem cases that it won't be reliable. It may work for simpler cases like text files, videos, zip archives, and images. How do you classify a docx though? Is it a zip file? A "document" file? Is something Javascript just because it ends in .js?

Is adding this level of overhead to writes useful? You can see in the video his test framework sets up "hundreds of millions" in seconds and yet copying actual live data from his Program Files directory takes 1m10s for 24,431 files. This suggests to me that at the minimum the "hundreds of millions" of objects are not representative of real live data, since that takes approximately 2 seconds to create.

I'd also suggest that if this is truly innovative and these problematic things from the presentation are actually just artificial and that it is doing things under the hood, it should be using a true OS filesystem browser to do this same work. To convince me it could replace standard filesystems, demo me an implementation of the OS running on it, or at the very least using it as a storage drive.
The US was an occupier of Afganistan. The US agreed to a withdrawal in exchange for a truce with the Taliban under the previous administration, which was honored by the next administration.

This is an invasion of a peaceful country by its neighbor. They are complete opposites.
To some extent this situation feels analogous to a street mugging happening in very slow motion

The thug accosts the victim, threatens and then proceeds to assault the victim in full view of a large number of bystanders who are numerous enough to defend the victim and alter the outcome but not convicted enough to take on the inconvenience of doing so.

Nevertheless all the bystanders voice words of encouragement and sympathy and even offer to sue the aggressor in court after the fact if the victim is harmed or killed.
A similar sentiment was expressed in the 1930s.

Unusually I was asked I was transferring some money, never been asked before why I was moving my money, but earlier like 5-10mins earlier I had read on the DailyMail about some US/UK military abuses going on which annoyed me, so when I was asked why I was moving it, I replied "maybe I'm going to join ISIS". That was all I said, nothing else said, but lets face it, you cant even tell if you are talking to the staff in the call centre or if the phone company/security services are doing a man in the middle attack, international phone standards and internal phone standards make so much possible.

People get setup without even knowing it but the setup might not occur until years or decades later.
Yes but this news would not get this much exposure if it was a Russian kid. They simply don't have the same online footprint.
Do not forget the "useful idiots' who will whitewash anything the enemies of the west do just because they align with their ideology better than the free world does.

Azov battalion is full-on white nationalist neo nazi and they’re a large and legitimate player in this war. And they’ve been wiped off the map tonight. I guess it depends on your definition of a made up word but I’d certainly call it denazification.
I am curious, what do Russians think of this. Does anyone support him? Is it completely just one maniac with his friends running this.

Is his propaganda that effective that Russians agree with any of it. I think if anyone can stop him, it has to be ordinary Russians. I don’t see sanctions or warnings from Biden or EU doing anything. And they will never directly step in and protect the Ukranian people.
It would be worth another 300 or so words to clarify how good the medievalist knowledge is of kiss targets.
Will the people downvoting this comment mind telling me what is wrong with it? I'm not a Russian apologist, just a fan of history, and am trying to understand why so many people reject this narrative.

edit: Now I am downvoted too just for asking..? This just makes me think that there is not a solid answer?
Even if it's possible, for Apple, it would be an utterly disastrous thing to do. Imagine the damage to its reputation. If they were to do it in this situation, the argument would go, what about other situations? What about all the phones they sell in China, for example. Are there circumstances where they should brick all US Democrat or Republican phones? It would be the end of Apple, and that's why it would (hopefully, thankfully) never happen.
It's hard to say, right now it looks like it's just letting countries armed to the teeth with them dominate whoever they want
I can't read the full article, but the abstract didn't mention anything about the effects of the caloric restriction protocol on the muscle mass of human subjects. This is why I'm very skeptical that it will actually work to extend human lifespans. We know that sarcopenia increases the risk of serious falls for elderly people. And any physician can tell you how a bad fall frequently causes loss of mobility, and sets off a chain of physical declines leading to death in a couple years.

So personally I'm going to contine eating a lot of calories, and doing a lot of hard exercise. Maybe I'll age faster but at least I won't be frail.
I believe that's the problem with most not for profits. Their bottom line is very arbitrary, so objective decisions are difficult.

Compared to, say if I was a paper clip salesman. What makes money and what loses is far more obvious. In addition, if the plan lost money, its immediately obvious and can be stopped
They gave up those nukes with the promise we would protect them.

That trick of ours won’t work again.
