Binance is not taking this risk. The counterparty who is selling BTC for Rubles is taking the monetary risk of the Rubles devaluing.

My guess is that the buyers of Rubles are turning around and selling some or all of them on a foreign currency exchange to mitigate their risk.

Exactly. Unless the app is malicious, Apple tends to force changes during an update. Google appears to have turned on some algorithms in the last couple weeks, and is pulling apps down without warning. Then, this new review process appears to be really poorly run which makes it hard to get the app back in the store.

Also, the developer console itself keeps getting redesigned making it hard to find where to put these new bits of information.
I've been working on this for my home office. I went with a cheap "Sputnik" ceiling lamp, and 2:1 splitters to put 20 75watt Cree bulbs on my ceiling. Bulbs have gotten more expensive it seems; it cost me ~US$200.

Sorry you got downvoted, I thought it was a funny joke.

(Joke explanation: my username is Dutch for 'time traveller'.)
I led a lot of data and analytics work for pharma companies on clinic trials and the point about complexity is hard to overestimate. A pretty good analogy for bringing a major new drug to market is comparing it to building a new space flight system, individually it might have one less zero on total cost, but that's more of a factor of humans bringing dozens of drugs to market at any one point so there are economies of scale rather than it being any less complex.

Also, the article does a good job of describing one side of clinical trial complexity, finding participants and getting them through the funnel, but there's a whole other source of complexity in clinical trials that mean you need massive global efforts: different global regulators have different criteria for 'approving' clinical trials. An indicative example, the Japanese regulator needs to see evidence that the drug was tested in Japan during a trial. They're one of _many_ national regulators that say that.

So even if you _could_ find all a trials participants in one country you likely wouldn't be able to get it approved by many national regulators.

There are 100% valid epidemiological reasons, but often these differing national rules are there for policy purposes outside of drug safety, for example, if you mandate trials need to take place in your country it provides a nice investment in biotech for your economy or by creating specific rules as a lever to control cost in your national healthcare system (e.g. NICE in the UK).

I think the repercussions of Iraq have been slow to emerge, but they have been profound. First, a precipitous decline in the moral authority of the US. Second, a collapse in trust in US intelligence. Third, a collapse in the reputation of the US as a reliable and rational partner.

At the time, bear in mind that this was the heyday of liberal interventionism, and people saw Saddam Hussein as a bloody-handed dictator, engaged in sectarian and ethnic cleansing, who was destabilizing the region. The experiences of the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia suggested that this problem could be resolved through regime change. It wasn't possible to know at the time how badly this would turn out.
> This was done by UN. Not by some random company against some individuals.

Before there were official sanctions, there were popular boycotts for years. Most countries only imposed sanctions right at the end.

(Of course, in this case, there are already state sanctions, and that may be weighing on various companies' decisions to terminate contracts; if nothing else it will likely become virtually impossible to actually _pay_ Russian vendors within days).
Ukraine: Concerns mount as black people report racism while fleeing war zone
De-dollarization won’t happen in China. Chinese government is addicted to economic growth. The legitimacy of the government depends on it. There are only 3 ways to generate growth: infrastructure investment, consumption and export. The investment approach generates too much debt and one can argue China has reached limit there. Chinese has never been able to increase the consumption as a percentage of GDP in a meaningful way. So they have to rely on export. There is no way they can grow export without dollar.
How did China "enable an unprovoked attack from Russia on Ukraine"?

This was all Russia initiative, wasn't it?
What war crimes and other crimes against humanity has NATO and its member states committed, with impunity, in the last twenty years?

Russia doesn't want NATO on its borders because NATO and its principle membership is factually an aggressive, criminal operation with the blood of millions of innocent people on its hands. Iraq lost 5% of its population to the evil antics of NATO states, operating with seeming impunity, launching attacks from NATO bases across the landscape. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

We in the West might be comfortable with ignoring this fact, but Russians are not.

NATO acquires membership countries through 'soft' (CIA) means, but it also bombs non-member countries determined to be 'inferior' by its membership into utter oblivion.

>Why did Poland feel the need to join an organization to defend itself against Russia?

Decades of CIA agit-prop designed to drive a wedge between two states that, were they allies, would factually represent a major challenge to American hegemony.

NATO is a trap to keep states fighting..

If Russia and Europe were to align into an economic bloc rather than fight, even China couldn't hold a light to the resulting superpower.

to the best of my knowledge, crypto isn't considered a security because it is in a legal grey area of definitions. It acts like both a currency and an investable asset. Also, the security denotation has regulatory implications. In the US, securities are regulated by the SEC. An alternative to a security is a commodity. Commodities are essentially raw materials that are used to produce other goods/services such as wheat and oil. Commodities are regulated by the CFTC, which has its own set of regulations which is normally less stringent than the SEC's. Normally, any new asset that is considered a security needs to pass the [Howey Test](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/howey-test.asp). Some cryptocurrencies currently do, but are still not considered a security necessarily since it's still an ongoing discussion.
I don't see a lot of value in this line of argument, but want to make several things clear. You impute a single national identity to the plane designers and engineers based on their physical location. Setting aside the fact that the construction bureau itself was relocated to Kiev from Novosibirsk in the late 50s, the people who worked there came from all over in the Soviet Union. Tolmachev and Antonov certainly did not have the national identity you impute.

Regardless, it was a Soviet engineering outfit, not a Russian or Ukrainian one. Just like Chernobyl was a Soviet project and failure, not a Russian or Ukrainian one.

I think that’s the general sentiment, at least among young people. The statement “if you define x as exploitative then everything is” is exactly indicative of a systems problem and the solution can’t be shrugging and doing nothing unless you’ve already accepted your lot in life.

The near impossibility of sourcing goods that aren’t the result of worker mistreatment everywhere in the supply chain is nuts. You can’t vote with your wallet and you can’t vote with your votes.

I researched Turkey quite a bit recently.

Largely speaking, the Crimean naval base that this all has been about originally appeared to be largely due to Russia against Turkey.

In Syria and Libya, they aren't on the same side of the conflict.

Many years ago Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet. Putin said Turkey stabbed them in the back over this one. Month later Erdogan had a coupdtat which he survived. Russian ambassador got assassinated. They eventually had a peace summit and Russia lifted sanctions. They both backed Maduro in venezuela. They tried to repair relations.

But more important, over the next 5 years. practically every economic problem was blamed on the russians. In my own personal analysis, they were completely founded. For whatever reason Russia was doing this I don't know. Mind you, Russia is surrounding Turkey with lots of military. But Turkey is NATO. But for the most part turkey has been trying to improve relations with russia.

This change in demeaner by Turkey will be a strong message.
Right, but I don't even notice the notch is so small. In most cases it feels like a 16:10.5 and I'm loving it.
That's within Ukraine itself and I think the issue here is that Ukrainians are afraid there won't be enough space for their own people. Usually in these situations, foreign nationals are assisted in getting home by their own governments - but nobody might be going to help evacuate Ukrainians.

During COVID lockdowns, I was also denied entry onto a evacuation bus based on my nationality - and I'm as white as you can be. This is nothing unusual - and it's not racist, only nationalist/statist.
There is an interesting fork of LFS that uses Musl instead of glibc.

https://github.com/dslm4515/Musl-LFS

I played with it for a while as the base OS for my KVM hypervisor servers.

A couple of years ago, I tried to find all the source archives for the old LFS releases. I ended up using the Debian and kernel.org archives to find most of the old package versions. Packages from before 2004 started disappearing like as86 and the PowerPC patches. I was never able to find the PowerPC patches because they were never mirrored on anything but FTP sites. The Internet Archive did not pick up any of those mirrors.
https://archive.org/details/linuxfromscratch-releases

I eventually replaced the Musl-LFS build and replaced it with a buildroot set of configs and scripts when I had issues replicating my work with later package versions. Buildroot allowed me to more rapidly test and deploy my hypervisor config. I wanted a simple /etc/rc init like what was in SunOS 4, no GRUB, and QEMU with VDE networking.

I ended up with SYSLINUX for BIOS MBR and gummiboot(before it was converted into systemd-boot) for EFI because my EFI machine (Dell R810) did not allow for direct booting of EFI binaries.
True, but I would argue that oppressive facist regimes pretty much exists because they can print their money to rip off common and working people. I am sure that if you ask russians if they are willing to give away their hard earned money to buy tanks in order to support a crazy dictator they probably will answer no.
the status quo favours one of the two commenters upthread, so it makes sense that the other side will keep pushing.

Compromise will be required.

But for LFP or iron based batteries which don't have such issues, the blade design should be cheaper, more maintainable, more space and weight efficient etc. There's no glue so you can actually just switch individual blades. Cooling channels can be straight.

1. LLC (or even under your own name is fine (I don't remember the costs, but under $100). You'll also need business insurance (I'm paying $70/month).

2. When my first contract needed help, I posted it on upwork, got 16 applicants, interviewed 4, started a contract with 2 and eventually working with 1.

3. Immediate close network. Helps if they work at a FAANG company (or if you did). Once you're in the system and have a few connections, it can steamroll into larger contracts.

I think you should remove the word "probably". Even if you put it in parentheses, you give the small possibility that they are not puppets, which is untrue. Every single person in the Duma is specifically pro-Putin. Maybe there a some sleepers around Putin who appear to be pro-Putin in public, but in reality wait for the right conditions to assassinate him, but that's just speculation.
> He is using nuclear threats to satisfy his own ego.

I think its more likely Putin is having to deal with a complex internal financial crisis which could affect Russian national stability. Putin may have something personal to gain from this, but there are bigger problems afoot if Russia descends into chaos. Something, mostly likely financial in nature, has happened to trigger the invasion into Ukraine. Raw access to resources?

So, whether a small portion of economic value is locked up on chain (or not) is unlikely to be relevant at this point.

> Trust between trade partners is one of the most important element of an economy but for ideological reasons crypto-currencies enthusiasts believe that should instead be delegated to a protocol.

Trust (assets) shared between trade partners which is not on-chain can be more easily manipulated as needed in a perceived crisis. We can see the US backed sanctions against Russia's interest are not being applied to Russian fuel exports, but instead target the wealth holder's stored assets. That implies a desire for control over the decision making process itself.

Cryptocurrency based assets would be more resistant to being influenced in this way and would limit the ability to manipulate the wealth holders, but only if their assets were on-chain.

I don't see how cryptocurrency changes this much, given the trust in raw assets relies on physical control of the asset, not a protocol that defines (or limits) how the asset is controlled.

It is in everyone's best interest this crisis in Russia and adjacent regions is addressed. How it is addressed, philosophically, is the real debate here.

This is business as usual in a currency crunch. Already happened twice in my memory (2008, 2014) - some people would panic-buy expensive items like plasma tvs. This is not indicative of some systemic collapse.

Browser vendors monetize your data, that is their main trade. Having lots of users doesn't matter if you don't control them in some way, such as decide who gets to be trusted as a CA. The browsers are supporting the current tech hegemony for CA's, for some reason Americans are much more "trustworthy" than people from anywhere else, do you really believe that? Why should the people in Europe be forced to trust shady American companies like Google or Microsoft who are or likely will get compromised by the American state? It makes sense for them to regulate this so that they can have European options.

Indeed.

It's also a problem that the studies are presented in ways where it is easily interpreted as about "the epicenter". The title (and content) should not have been "Wuhan market was epicentre of pandemic’s start, studies suggest", but rather, as you suggest, an amplification point. I guess that, because wording it in this way would equally support a lab hypothesis, it was unacceptable to (at least) the final person responsible. I am disappointed this gets past the reviewers or that it was introduced by editors. What is a reasonable conclusion to be drawn about Nature and their scientific competency? Should we just let it go?

I don't want to host content that I might not otherwise agree to host, therefore I don't care to use such services.

Well I can't deny there are some issues. But I really wouldn't call it generally racist. It's individual excesses - very wrong and must be stopped, but it's not as widespread/as racist as these articles might suggest.
