Is it still true though? The Fed averted this through QE by buying assets of questionable value at the face value from the illiquid banks and providing them with enough cash.. didn't they?
US (and maybe Canada too?) fostering IT infrastructure plants in Central America. The whole "huge migrant forces leaving Central America for the US" (to the extent that it's a factor) could be stemmed with more infrastructure jobs there. The IT infrastructure we need to maintain independence from larger potential adversaries. Intel and others have some chip manufacturing in some Central American locations - increase that. Increase chip and other IT related manufacturing plants closer to our hemisphere. Lift up these economies closer to home - reduce shipping/transit costs.

Tax policies that favor more IT manufacturing in Central America may already be in place. If not, put in place. If there, tweak some levers to increase activity to closer to our borders and further away from countries that are gaining too much control over strategic resources.
I know these, because I build websites, often simple static sites. A bunch are social or just rendering on apple devices.

And manifest wasn't even in there. though does anyone actually 'install' pwa 'apps' (sorry double apps)?

IDK why anyone who's main job is not SEO or building static html pages should know this. Except maybe viewport for people writing css by hand. Hell even then.

You can just use a generator. I think the SEO one that generators most of this is the #1 wordpress plugin

Well, a) they are literally the only ones who can do anything about Putin's regime, and b) they are paying taxes, no? Those taxes pay for the Russian military. Destroying a country's economy is just about the only way to stop a modern nation's military.

Oh, and c) are there any other knobs to adjust Russian foreign policy?

The former Secretary General of NATO disagrees with you. For Sweden and Finland at least.

Does the guy in OPs statement only eat grass-fed animals? Isn't the source of the grass important? If it is grown in a wild field, maybe it will have all its natural nutrients. But if it is grown as a crop, or on a field under repeated heavy grazing, isn't that just as bad as what is happening to the human crops?

Also, if the guy is going out of his way to only eat the best, most expensive beef, because corn-fed beef is actually bad, why doesn't he do the same thing for fruits and vegetables? You can get "wild grown" vegetables just like you can get wild grazed beef. It just costs more.
They will breath the dust and get some internal radiation though. Not really a problem for the others if they move after that, but not very good for them.

It sounds as if you think FB should block things at Kremlin's behest, and since FB doesn't, it deserves to get blocked itself -- is that what you meant?

(Or did you mean that therefore it was logical for Putin to block FB? Or, well, maybe you wrote something different from what you wanted to write, not being a native English speaker)

I'm loving the way you are putting words in my mouth about what I do/don't know from those headers. I can explain most all of them but that doesn't stop it from being a stupid exercise. If you start a potential working relationship with me by asking me to explain 10 lines of HTML head tags then that tells me you focus on all the wrong things. By the way, I am a senior frontend web developer and I've been quite successful at it, thank you very much.

OK, thanks for explaining what you meant, I didn't understand you at first.

To be honest, I don't know what NutritionFacts.org is, exactly. I agree that most Californians, like most Americans (North and South) would do well to cut down on their meat consumption a bit, because it certainly looks like they eat way too much. But I don't think that needs to mean going vegan.

Traditional diets from places like the Mediterrannean or South-East Asia go a long way towards keeping people well-fed without excessive meat consumption, and there's no reason to not adopt, say, a vegetable- and pulses-heavy mediterrannean diet, rather than going vegan, if a healthy diet is the point. In fact, if that's the point, it's probably easier to eat healthy when _not_ going vegan, because of the missing nutrients that must be supplemented.

I grew up on a plant-based diet. Not "vegan" or "vegetarian" but "plant-based", meaning that most food I ate was made of plants: rice, pasta, potatoes, beans, chickpeas and lentils, green beans, okra and peas, tomatoes, aubergines and zucchini, tons of olive oil everywhere, garlic, onions, celery and carrots as the base of sauces and soups, liberal amounts of good cheese and yogurt, plenty of fish in the summer, and some meat once or twice a week as I was growing up, primarily chicken and pork (I don't like beef). I don't think there's anyone that can fault this way of eating for being either excessive or unhealthy and I still cook and eat that way today, the way my grandmothers cooked.
This isn't a very great interview question.

Testing detailed arcane knowledge is one thing, and it should be impressive if people know everything.

But the web is a giant mess of technologies that nobody can really fully keep up with and I'd rather people spent that extra minute learning about another language or subject, than say the details of 'doctype'.
That specific example is not as revealing as it might seem, because in addition to a difference in supply costs, there's a difference in how much a hypothetical person who doesn't care about money but cares about it being made in the US will pay on top of supply cost differences.

Russia doesn't need to resort to Bitcoin, when they can easily use their own SWIFT alternative or China's. China is conveniently friendly with Russia these days, is rapidly expanding CIPS, and would likely welcome the chance to expand it even more.

The existence of these alternatives is one reason Russia probably won't be banned from SWIFT in the first place.

It's insulting now to not want to mentor people?

It's exhausting and frustrating. I don't get any joy from it. In fact I want to write my own code, not look at other people's code at all.

You can slow down Youtube videos without it distorting the audio. I've found it more helpful to use subtitles in the target language, though.
I believe you can achieve secure communication by combining QKD with an asymmetric signature algorithm (hash signatures being a particularly interesting choice), while that's not possible by combining a stream cipher with a signature algorithm.
I was going to say what's the point of asking such basic, obvious questions, but reading the replies in this thread – yikes! If you cannot answer at least 7-8 of the 10 questions in under a minute, you have no business being a web developer, forget calling yourself a "senior" one. If I was an interviewer in this situation, I'd be perfectly happy with a candidate who thinks they are too good for this walking away and taking their framework-of-the-month skills elsewhere.
You seem to believe strongly that the fact that you are Russian makes your opinion of what Russians think (or not think) absolutely true.
Reminds me of a scifi book where the Internet-analogue is so corrupted with junk deliberately injected by filtering services so that they can sell you the filters that it's impossible to use "naked".

I think it's either Neal Stephenson or maybe Stephen Baxter, but I'm not sure which book it was an aside in (it's not Fall, I haven't read that yet, though that appears to have a similar idea).
>The complexity grows exponentially with the number of people

Just to nitpick, based on a graph model, it should grow quadratically, no?
Ah, I see...maybe the OP means FB should be blocked because they are not doing individual blocking at the government's request? I think it's still pretty easy to disagree with that justification too (same as I'd disagree if a US ISP was forced to block a Russian site that didn't kowtow to US requests). And it's still easy to see that the reasons given by the OP for why it risks getting blocked are disagreeable to.
It's not 'useless' and it doesn't scream 'knowledge signalling' - it's just not a very good question.

There are four stages of identifying and use of a resource.

Theoretical quantity - That would be the 20ppm as you said. Based on knowledge and estimates.

Identified reserves - How much of this stuff do we actually know about and is in a suffciently enough pooled location. This would be less than the 20ppm - how much less is a different question.

Technically available - How much of the known resource could we actually extract? It is ok if we know about it but if it is 10KM below a lake, could we get to it?

The most important stage after those three - Economic availability. Can we actually afford it and have people pay for it?

The argument from absurdity I use on this one is that there is effectively near infinite clean energy in the form of hydrogen in the sun. No one owns it - now go get it! The technical and economic scale ruins the argument a fair bit.

I'm not even arguing against lithium here, it seems to be more output restricted than resource limited. The two elements in batteries I worry about is Cobalt and Nickle - they could become the weakness. That said it does look like some folks are working on some neat alternatives in that space.
Thanks!

I would submit that most of the commenters in this forum have more to do with the ruling class than with the working class. (The median personal income in the US is about $36,000/year. (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N))
I tend to agree with this. My expectation from reading the headline was that it would be code from the backend (which admittedly seemed odd, since that's not public).

I can't recall ever seeing someone use the phrase "X's source code" to mean HTML. In my view it's data, not code. Just like you wouldn't call some XML file "source code" -- it's purely descriptive markup. When a browser's context menu says View Source, the word "code" isn't implied. It's the same usage of the word "source" meaning "origin" (as in "cite your sources").

Maybe I'm being overly pedantic, but the phrasing definitely read strangely to me regardless. Speaking as someone who's done a mixture of programming and web development for over two decades.
I mean "txt" speak is something only my parents still use. There are some shortenings like omw, ngl, ikr but they're not inventing new words.

> You think you can see things, but what you are really doing is recognizing things. Any normal adult has the motor skills to make a controlled mark.

I have reasonably nimble fingers and at least average overall motor control, and really cannot do this. I got pretty good at drawing a handful of things as a kid by just repeating the same pattern every time, but even on those my lines were just awful. I'm sure I could get better at it with tons of drilling (and probably just starting over from scratch, technique-wise—I expect I'd have to totally re-train the way I do the entire activity, to fix whatever's wrong) but a little drawing here and there with lots of attention to trying to fix that has done nothing. I cannot make a remotely straight line of any length at all (an inch would be pushing my abilities, and I'd probably fail like half the time). Circles are right out. I have a good enough eye for perspective that I can make useful and recognizable sketches for e.g. home projects, but they look like a 2-year-old drew them because the lines are so bad.

Step 1 for me absolutely would be learning how to make marks that are anywhere near my intention.
Fantastic article, recommend to everyone to read
All for(auto x:xs){L} does is:

{
iter= xs.begin();
while(iter++ != xs.end()){L}
}
Not exactly hard to see what happens. In particular as iter is typically just a raw pointer.

Regardless of if you use one or the other you must answer the question,

With the macro you also have the concern that if any of the headers you include happens to change order of inclusions, the macro called may change without being noticeable. That is a harder problem.

Another interpretation is that keeping them on SWIFT at least gives you some leverage, while forcing them out of it only accelerates other payment infrastructure, which essentially will play right into Russia's hands anyway.

SWIFT sanctions are kind of blunt given that we're now living in a world where any major power can write some software. And in this case both China and India offer alternatives.

Small changes in per-unit micronutrient quantities are not the cause of modern obesity. If you do want to make some claim that worldwide nutrition was better at some point in the past, that point was definitely not when Bach was alive.
This can't be true, because this thread started off with

> In repressive regimes there is no freedom to protest. You cannot have hypocrisy in how you deal with political protests if you do not have political protests!
Three things:

1. I did not share my thoughts on what we should or shouldn’t do, nor what we should have or shouldn’t have done. Don’t presume to know my position. The truth is I don’t know what we should have done or should do now, but I know I’m not in a rush to get in a shooting war with another nuclear power without considering that we may not actually survive it.

2. Treating the battlefield like a playground cheapens the conflict and is disrespectful to those on the battlefield.

3. International conflict and diplomacy is not just playground bullying. The leaders of every single NATO nation including the United States have a responsibility to their own people first and foremost and it is not at all obvious how to deal with Putin. This isn’t the Sudetenland in 1938, nor Poland 1939; Poland actually had defense pacts which were not honored and was invaded by two of the most powerful countries in the world in a world that had not yet invented nuclear weapons nor ICBMs. This is Ukraine 2022 in a very different world with very different power dynamics, communications and much more destructive weapons technologies. There is a lot more at stake and to disregard that is foolishness.
And the alternatives to sanctions are?
You do remove people from a project for transparently lying to users about whether a requested feature is possible, and making up an elaborate fiction as to why it is not possible. Or, I would.

How Rust does things has probably evolved; anyway, I hope it has. But it is, for me, Somebody Else's Problem. Other people are more directly exposed.
Never thought of this but makes a great deal of sense.

Same with movies. Watch your fav movies in French lang. for example. You’ll know what yippekayeh mother fudger is!
All of Rust's functions are available as "free-standing functions" because of how types work in Rust, and Rust doesn't have classes, just structs. So, as a consumer nothing changes.

if std::collections::HashSet::is_empty(&basket) {

... is perfectly legal Rust, it would just be more idiomatic to write:

if basket.is_empty() {

The availability of all functions as "free functions" is convenient when you need, say, a filter predicate, since of course std::collections::HashSet::is_empty is exactly what you wanted if what you wanted to express was the predicate "is this HashSet empty?" and in languages that aren't allowed to do this you'd need to pointlessly shuffle chairs around to achieve the same thing instead.
It's in the same category as Dataset (confusing, since that name is similar to my other package https://datasette.io/ which does something very different!

It is especially funny in a community with as many software engineers as HN. Imagine saying a developer who uses a linter or has to make changes to their code as part of a PR review should just "learn to code".
Honestly curious. What is the dissonance that you see there?

Digital fiat currency is indeed bank databases. Similarly, stock markets and stock ownership are also stored in permissioned databases. Both are highly regulated and enforced by law. For people in countries with a high level of rule-of-law, and a stable financial system, I’d argue that this works reasonably well.

I also think that blockchain and other crypto currencies can be very useful. Especially for people in countries where rule-of-law is not as important and corruption is high.
At the end of the day firearm training is probably more valuable than anything else in Ukraine right now. Taking pot shots from a distance at groups of troops can cause them to seek cover and slow down their progression. I think that's about the best you can do as 1 - 4 people. Look to the Vietnamese or Taliban on how to defeat a larger better equiped force with a smaller less equiped one.
The world is not an RPG video game, you likely can't just strictly "improve" yourself up to any given standard (no matter what any employer or teacher tells you - they're just trying to buy time as you sit in their classroom or accept a lower paycheck than you are worth). Experience is key, and it ISN'T best measured in years - you can likely put in more time than anybody on something given that you seem like a young kid who's eager.

That being said, and now that it's clear that you aren't just going to push a number higher until you can send all of your cyber zerglings into the enemy's virtual mineral line, this is a good process to follow for finding serious vulnerabilities - exploiting them should be trivial if you have a good enough understanding of the system:

- Think of a system in use, at any layer of the stack. This could be a specific web application in use by the enemy, a runtime that's used by some applications of theirs, or a memory/cache model on a CPU architecture that's flawed or anything like that

- Learn enough about that system that you can understand any inner working of it

- Painstakingly look through areas where you, just via inference, can tell that there could be some sort of vulnerability - key areas to focus on are something that is something downstream to user input, or something similar.

All of that is to say that, if you aren't already "useful", your country is probably going to have a regime change before you can find anything strictly useful.

If there's something simple enough that someone who's relatively unexperienced can do it, then it's probably automated.

OR - use a bunch of stolen credit cards you bought online for $3 each to rent a few VPS' (maybe come up with some consolidation solution to more easily make accounts and setup SSH boxes) and throw as much layer 4 traffic at Russian endpoints as you can :-).
"But it wasn't 'fudge'!"
CEO and co-founder of Routefusion here, a cross-border bank to bank payment API. We use the SWIFT network regularly. I can 100% confirm that all money in the world is just literally numbers, and it is balanced by the different federal reserve systems around the world to ensure no one can "create" money without notifying everyone.

The "lower" you get down the stack the more valuble youll be. You have to understand the fundimentials of how software works in order to reverse engineer it and start "hacking"
> Is this really the way we want it to work

Yes. This is not a technology problem. This is how banks have been working for the last 400 years.

You can't get rid of banks because banks are what create the money. The crypto people have a terrible understanding of what money is.
