I actually agree with your question, but allow me to play devil’s advocate, perhaps.

We only have 1 side of this story - that a few people have been surprised and had accidents. We don’t have the stats on how many people the active braking has saved from a collision. (BTW I have a CRV, and have experienced sudden braking myself, both with and without something in front of me, but it hasn’t caused an accident yet.)

ABS is a computer between the brake and the physics, and there’s widespread agreement about the benefits of this arrangement. So maybe the problem isn’t the computer, or the idea to use them in the loop. Maybe the problem is an incomplete understanding of people, or maybe it’s just a sensor defect or manufacturing issue. (Which, I would agree, absolutely should be considered when plugging things into a computer controller.)

We have lots of computers in the physics loop, and very few of them give any of us pause. ECUs are standard these days and are critical to fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Self driving cars are on the way and are a whole new level of computer control. I think I’m still in favor of self-driving cars and the potential they have to reduce traffic, collisions, and environmental impact...

And this is 2001, so any tourists driving on those highways were almost certainly holding paper maps and arguing intensely with their passenger about which exit to take to get into DC. They weren’t holding their analog camcorders.
On the other hand the IIHS says the MB C-Class has a fatality rate of zero, from 2015-2017, the latest data available. They must have done something right.

It was problematic of me to phrase this as potential phishing, I'm sorry.

To attempt to explain - although it could be an excuse: I interpreted this situation as one that could lead to potentially less-familiar users onboarding at a risky and dangerous point-in-time, and that that could lead to the introduction of additional hazards.

The nature of the service as a highly privacy-preserving and technical one, I feel, could mean that practice and care are required (ideally, during a less risky time) in order for users to learn the nature of the system and how to use it appropriately in their own environment(s).

> I agree. From what I understand the Russian people mostly don't want this war. It's Putin's war, not Russia's.

I'm no expert, but this is probably not a sufficient understanding. As I understand it, Putin's successful invasion of Ukraine to annex Crimea in 2014 was deeply popular and helped boost his popularity at a time when that was needed. It may be useful to look at this invasion of Ukraine through the same political lens, which you can't do if you see most of the populace as being unsupportive of it.

That's the depth of my understanding of the situation, though. So definitely don't take my word for it. It is fair to imagine that the attractiveness of annexation to the population is less now than it was in 2014.

It is certainly true that there's significant lack of support, though you said "most" which is much stronger.
This is "just" the core network. The 5G core is IP based, like in 4G.

From what I remember, every 4G core funcion already could run virtualized in regular server farms. So you're limited by having access to software that implement 3gpp specs.

Most ISPs run their packet cores on proprietary systems (Huawei, Ericsson, ZTE). But I believe that has more to do with their scale than with the complexity of the 3gpp specs.

I think the real trouble is running radio frequency stuff.
Thanks, captain obvious.
> For what it's worth, I don't think "Black Lives Matter" had those same connotations.

Really? The impression I had[0] was that this slogan was a cry for equality in the eyes of a police force which acted as though black lives did not matter — the mistreatment being very much insidious, very much a betrayal of “protect and serve”, and while I wouldn’t call the BLM slogan itself it a “return to a former, previously great” status, it is clearly a desire to have a deserved status (of having one’s life matter).

The Wikipedia article is sound and it also documents that Martin Davis came up with the term "halting problem" for a lecture he gave in 1952. He used Turing machines in his 1958 book. Turing machines are still a commonly used formalism in some areas of theoretical computer science.

No, the ones and zeros are irrelevant, but like "leaves of three, let it be" you won't accidentally identify something as intelligent, just like you won't accidentally identify a plant as safe to touch. In both cases, the intelligence or the urushiol allergy are coincidal with the rule of thumb.

I am not debating, that there is election fraud, nor that Putin increasingly takes the role of a untouchable tsar.

"The only way you can 'protest' him in elections is by concentrating opposition voters to vote against his main party"

But I am aware of this tactic and know that in some areas this brought some embarassement for the established candidate and at least made fraud obvious.

And polls are probably hard to do accurate in this climate, but wikipedia cites some other numbers for Putins popularity in general. Allmost never under 50%

I had to upgrade a slightly older, internal-only GitLab instance for a company a while ago. I was shocked by how many upgrade path dependency problems there were. Ended up having to roll back to a backup and do the upgrade in a stepwise fashion through various intermediate steps according to their long document on the process, including a fair number of manual commands and migrations and a lot of Googling for obscure error messages.

I enjoy GitLab and it’s the real only option for open self-hosting, but it made me miss the days of having GitHub Enterprise.
In that scenario, wouldn't Ukraine, a non-NATO country, be the aggressor against NATO? How would that deter anything? It seems that would turn NATO against Ukraine for threatening their energy supply.

What expansion is that exactly, there are talks but no concrete plans although Putin would like us to think so.

And besides that, NATO or the west should not refrain from having these talks no matter what Putin says.

> That would have drug NATO into the war

No, it wouldn't. Unless a NATO country is attacked, NATO cannot do anything. Individual countries can, though.
Oh no, an attacker with the victim's credentials AND a valid TOTP code that was just used can access the victim's account...

Seems low priority to me too

> forcing the remaining Ukraine in negotiations to become a "neutral" state located between Russia and NATO/EU

This keeps coming up as if Ukraine's acceptance into NATO was imminent any day now. Realistically NATO membership Ukraine was decades away, if ever.

It's a convenient pretext pitched mainly by Russian media, which needed to frame the sense of urgency, but the real reason must be elsewhere.

It's a tradeoff. My rental car recently had the fancy modern lane-centering, radar cruise control, etc. I found the car-following radar cruise control to be really nice on a 5 hour drive, but the lane centering was garbage, and I just couldn't get used the drive-by-wire steering. I still prefer to actually be in control of my vehicle.

That said... I had the rental because of an accident that would have been avoided if my own car had frontal collision detection and automatic braking. Assuming it had worked.

In USA closing companies use certified checks. BTC is cheaper and faster than literally having the closing company clerk drive certified checks to various banks.

You don't have to use it, though it works well in some situations and very well in big transactions. But you must be in a position to pay the entire purchase price and not rely on fractional reserve lenders to provide the funds to purchase the property. Since I don't need lenders, why would I use the structures that are in place to protect the lenders?
> it’s just not free to do so.

My general rule of thumb is that if a product lists its price as "Contact our sales team", then its effectively unavailable to me as an individual. So I guess if we're talking about what exactly the Github "feature" is that MS won't copy, it wouldn't be that there's an enterprise option, but that Gitlab is free and open source and practical for me as an individual to install. Obviously if you pay Microsoft enough money they'll do whatever you want (up to and including I guess buying Github itself as a company from them. Always has been an option, it's just not free to do so.)

The 04 R1 I used to ride had a goofy double throttle system where the cable directly drove the first set of intake butterflies, but a duplicate set downstream was computer controlled via servo. This was the generation that introduced catalytic converters to bikes, and I presumed the intention was to limit throttle opening rates via computer overriding what the rider had done when opened too quickly. Conventionally that transient pressure drop situation is handled by throwing a bunch of excess fuel into the air stream to not hesitate and stumble from most the fuel falling out of suspension and clinging to the walls, i.e. they were cleaning up emissions.

Even this seemingly benign and dead-stupid bit of a computer override almost caused me to crash on multiple occasions. If the rider opened the throttle aggressively far beyond where the servo operated throttle was at, and immediately began dialing it back to reduce the acceleration, the servo operated throttle would continue opening to meet the still more open cable operated throttle's position. So rider is telling bike to accelerate less, and bike is accelerating more in a game of computer catch up. This is not only very unexpected on a naturally aspirated ICE, but outright dangerous on a nearly 200HP sportbike.

At least it was relatively trivial to remove the plates from the servo actuated throttle shaft and let the computer keep pointlessly twisting a bare shaft.
> Every other comment is "flagged".

You can do better than that.

Write a script to count the number of flagged comments on each thread, to give us some actual data. If you were feeling particularly ambitious, you could do some natural language processing to work out the topics of comments or submissions which received more flagging than average.

That might give you an idea about what the ideologies of the flaggers are, from which you could attempt to claim that it is "authoritarians" doing this, and not simply people who think that certain comments don't add anything useful to the conversation.
Also, I want to be able to specify areas I’m familiar with somehow. So instead of it telling me turn by turn how to leave my neighborhood, for example, it just says “leave the neighborhood going east”. Then it could say “you want to be going north on I-whatever, you’ll end up North of CITY.” And then it shuts up until I’ve gone past CITY on I-whatever.
Valid TOTPs should still only work once when implemented well.

Someone in Russia will have to deal with it, probably intelligent, technically skilled people which would be more useful elsewhere. It causes Russia to loose face. If any critical services run through this then to might impact ground operation (although the Russian army seems to use print outs a lot).

Is not that the nord stream 2 pipeline? Germany was able to buy Russian gas without problem. Why build the new pipe?

It seems that Germany thought that Russia was a rational player interested in growing their economy, but it seems that it was just power play for personal aspirations.
So Russia doesn’t provide the EU with any gas in a world systemically short of gas and that’s going to hurt Russia is it.

How exactly? They still have the gas and Europe has no fertiliser or heat.

Eventually mainstream economists will realise that you only export to import and that imports are a real benefit whereas exports are a real cost.

To win in international trade you want as many imports for as few exports as possible.

If Russia isn’t importing anything then it has no need to export at all.

There are plenty of jobs going making armaments and equipment for the Russian war machine, so nobody in Russia is going to be short of a job either.

Russia has no need of the West’s money. It has its own and can ensure people need to obtain it by imposing the necessary level of taxation.

Mars is definitely dead, and nothing there within current human technical abilities to brink it back to life. Living underground or in airtight capsules is the only way of living on that planet. Which is pretty much the same thing that would happen on Earth in any of those doomsday events you suggested.

The main threat to earth is uninhabitable atmosphere, so if we figured out how to reverse those changes, then perhaps we could reverse Venus' atmosphere. If that were possible, then we might actually have a second livable planet in our solar system.
Russia doesn't even have air superiority yet. Ukrainian air force is blowing up elite paratroopers before they even have a chance to reach the front lines.

This entire invasion is already a disaster. Russia still has an advantage but they're taking unnecessary losses already.

No Ukrainian city is encircled yet either. Kyiv can't run out of food when it's still safe for supplies to come into the city.

Russia needs to establish the basics, and haven't even done that yet.

EDIT: it's been like 3 days. It's too soon to expect Russia's military to have a big success yet. Russia's superior weaponry should have a relatively easy time but... Russia is basically trying to perform 4 or 5 simultaneous 'Battle of Fallujah's here simultaneously.

US exported LNG can't compete with pipeline gas from Russia on price, nor on volume.

There is no answer, unfortunately, in US LNG exports to Europe. That's merely a very small bandaid on a serious energy wound. It's impossible to push US LNG exports high enough to offset the pipeline supply from Russia, no matter what we do.

At best it can relieve a bit of the pricing pressure while Europe figures out something else (nuclear, bolstering their own natural gas production, increased renewables).
You're welcome to play armchair general, but it's becoming obvious that you don't have much military experience.

> the men involved are not vulnerable to harm [...]?

That's not what I said. I'll restate my thought more plainly: in any kinetic conflict, you are more vulnerable without military training. Full stop.

Again, service is compulsory for men in Ukraine. So, generally speaking, yes - a 50 year old man with a few years of military experience will be more capable in a conflict than a 20 year old woman with no military experience whatsoever. The ability to shoot, move, and communicate - under extreme pressure, and hopefully coordinated with others - is not something you can muster up on-the-fly.

Are there exceptions to that? I'm sure of it. But we should try not to argue a position which hinges largely on outliers.

> I bet there are loads of "vulnerable" women who have stayed to fight.

You should feel welcome to find and provide data to support your assertion.
