SEIZE THE YACHTS AND REAL-ESTATE

It's not rocket science. Physical assets. All of them.

Every country, especially USA, if there is Russian owned property, it's not theirs anymore. Every holding company or if some oligarch is dumb enough to have something in their name.

Lots of penthouses in NYC and Florida. Seize them all.

Sell them and pay for the funerals of all the innocent people that are about to needlessly, pointlessly, brutally die in fear.
On the reddit thread the hypothesis is that somehow viewers got mass reported.

I wonder if their accounts were picked up for using the chat or if there's a viewer list that is being fetched via API.

So now if you watch the wrong video and you are in some list. Looks like it wasn't a good idea to have your full name visible and online identity tied to your youtube account.

Damn google for pushing for that crap, google+ was a blight.

Yeah, thanks. It's mostly all the built in functions and converting you have to do to pull the data back out I was referring to. It's not impossible, but the result always looks like something that makes you not feel bad for having looked it up (because who would remember that).

TBH, about half the time, I cheat and cast the whole thing to text and just do a string search on the blob.

Yes, the fact that the Chinese have been using soybean oil for one thousand years may be completely irrelevant for the properties of the soybean oil produced today.

Until last century, the oil was produced by pressing.

Now it is produced by solvent extraction, which extracts much more oil, but it may also extract other substances, which were not extracted by pressing.

The research commented here has shown that not the actual fat from soybean oil causes problems, but another unidentified component.

It is quite possible that the dangerous soybean oil component is something that is present only in the modern soybean oil, obtained by solvent extraction.
I think we confuse though doing data science on historic data to spot these manipulative communities vs doing that same data science in near real time to have any real counter effect on it.

Once in a blue moon I'll feel nostalgic and go see if the web sites for some of my favorite software in the 1990s are still up. ARJ software is one of my regular stops, and so are Semware [1] (I basically lived in QEdit, back in the day) and JP Software [2] (makers of the 4DOS shell).

This should come as a surprise to absolutely nobody. People have been complaining for a decade now that all automated takedown bots are ripe for abuse are are actively being abused by media cartels. You can't be shocked when systems that enable abuse are abused by foreign intelligence services.

Google has said it is cheaper to ignore the problem and until that changes they aren't going to fix it. And remember that on the other end of these abusive systems are corporations that are willing to sue individuals for literally billions of dollars over sharing files.

Big corporations will not have your back when it could affect their income stream.

The cynical side of me thinks this to remove competition from the approved (read monetization) news networks on YouTube, but I bet it is more algorithmic incompetence with no human oversight.
Obviously that's an important point, but OP's assertion has more to do with the cultural and practical history playing a role in the aftermath of a government falling. The US has been at relative peace internally for 150 years and has a relatively strong bent towards republican government. That's not something that can be quickly undone. The government "falling" in some countries is as simple as a particular leader being eliminated. In the US a leader being permanently removed from power on a regular cadence is not only normal but required. If someone came in and eliminated the current president (and his cabinet), the most likely outcome is we would just elect another. The second most likely is we would fracture into sub-nations / states, but still elect another. I don't see the scenario where we all start trying to kill one another -- there's very little difference between people across the US and most of us have family on both sides of the political spectrum / physical location.
For better or worse I think that is often the plan. First, presumably the government cares about the welfare of its people. Second it can make the people unhappy with the government.
The "reaching out" part included directed apologies. (Is this really the important part?)

That would just further isolate working class Russians. A dictatorship doesn’t need consent of the governed to start a war so many Russian people may not approve and now you can’t even communicate with them. I think this would be incredibly short sighted.

If you think posting on a message board on the internet will do anything, I'm sorry to tell you, it won't; it's just self serving moral gratification. Might as well send them some thoughts and prayers.
LOL. No. I did time in solitary. It literally makes everyone worse.

Most people are in solitary for fighting or disobeying instructions. Putting them in solitary does not change their behavior.

One thing - I was scared of solitary before I went there the first time. After the first time you realize there is nothing more (legally) the authorities can do to you once you're in solitary. You're in jail, in jail. Jail is boring as fuck. Solitary is super boring. But it's still jail. When you go there the second time you are prepared for everything and know how to run the system.

A lot of people also end up doing a long time in there because they misbehave in solitary, which is expected. You do it because (i) you're pissed off; (ii) there is nothing more they can do to you; (iii) it's fun to be finally be able to tell a certain guard that he is a piece of shit and his wife is ugly.
You might be thinking of Bon Cop Bad Cop which is all about the differences between Franco-Ontarian and Quebecois French, or Standard French versus Quebecois. Where I live I hear a ton of Quebecois but even with knowing B2 level French I find the accent very hard to parse out.

Here's a funny scene from the movie on Quebecois swearing:

The Safecast link displays higher radioactivity levels within some of the core road network in and around Chernobyl relative to road networks further away - that's to be expected, I think? If so, it doesn't necessarily indicate (nor disprove) an upwards trend.

The EU-EC JRC map does provide visibility into recent historic data and trend charts; currently neither of the three nearest stations (UA33231, BY33124, UA33236) seem to indicate an upwards trend in the surrounding environment over the past 48 hours.

As you say, granularity is important - perhaps there's something going on at a very localized level in-or-around the sensors at the Chernobyl nuclear storage facility; whatever it is doesn't yet seem to indicate any broader effect, as far as I can tell. It's certainly worth staying wary, but also worth being careful about how the situation's communicated and how people react to the news.
Bing has this indexed, so I'm assuming DDG is finding it from there. (Bing is also, unfortunately, also returning results that do not have the string present, which depending on how one tunes one's success metrics is worse... Remember the bad old days of sifting through search hits to not find the information the engine claimed was on the page?).

There's not a lot one can glean about the operation of a search engine from one anecdote; any number of things (including the backing store on which the one copy of this data is indexed being temporarily unavailable) can explain a failure-to-find like this.

But this story does point to both an advantage a meta-search like DDG has and a best practice: different search engines will give different answers. Keep several in your back pocket; don't assume Google is omniscient.
Interesting. I write a lot of code that deals with graphs in engineering data (pipelines, circuits, etc.). And typically I use the somewhat reverse logic to this, which is having 'hyper' vertices, i.e. a vertex can be a grouping of vertices.
> The big advantage of going Rust-first for me is that C and C++ have so many unspoken rules that you need to follow in order to avoid security issues and hard to debug errors, whereas Rust codifies most of those as compiler errors. That makes it a lot more accessible for the beginner to learn not just the basic syntax, but a best practices and good habits.

Yes, I agree this is the big advantage for me too. Rust allows mediocre devs to build more ambitious systems than they would have otherwise attempted in other languages. You can certainly build anything you want in C++, but from my experience due to the number of, as you put it "unspoken rules", novice developers will encounter a lot of foot guns. It leads to code that works but is very brittle; if you look at it the wrong way, it ends up segfaulting.

Rust says "You can't run this until we're sure it's not going to violate any of my assumptions of how a system is built" and it goes through your code with you to check off all the boxes. Is this thing mutable? Does it have more than one owner? Yes? Well then Rust says that's going to lead to pain in the future and prevents you from doing it. C++ will let you do it and hope that the learnings from the pain you encounter in the future due to your poor choices will prevent you from doing it again.

When I started learning Rust in 2015 the biggest thing in C++ I had built was a robot, and in that world you do most of your work as message passing. It's really more like a style that Erlang devs would find familiar. It's really not equivalent to doing systems programming in the OS/compiler sense. I found Rust very hard to use because I had poor habits in terms of object lifetime and ownership management. But over time the I figured out what the borrow checker wanted and in doing so, it made my code sounder, and therefore far more robust than what I would have put together in C++.

Going forward I apply these ideas to all languages I write in, so this is why I teach Rust in my PL course: even if students aren't going to write Rust in their future career, I've found it makes them think harder about variable lifetimes when they switch back to C and C++ in the OS course.

By that logic, the Germans lost the Franco-Prussian War because they subsequently lost the First World War.

Part of the power of sanctions are to weaken a leader's power over their people. If they lose the mandate to lead, the people may revolt and decapitate the leadership causing the issue.

1. Ukraine doesn't even have the military strength to defend itself. It is far from being in an offensive position.

2. It would justify Russia's propaganda saying that Ukraine is attacking Russian assets.

3. Global sanctions are more painful to Putin than deaths of his people. Putin is happy to sacrifice civilians and resources to bring back the Soviet Union.

> he seeks to create a Russian-lead Slavic ethnostate in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Baltics, and more.

Since, as you point out, the consequence of invading the Ukraine has been to cause a lot more troops to be deployed in the Baltics and other places you say Putin wants to eventually conquer, I don't see how this "Slavic ethnostate" is a rational goal.

I agree that the resources in the Ukraine are a rational goal, but if that is Putin's goal, we would not expect him to invade other countries. The resources in the Ukraine might be worth what it will cost Russia to get them (or at least that might be how Putin has calculated it); the resources in other countries, particularly NATO countries, would not.

I put myself through community college working overnight shifts cleaning restrooms in a theme park and was briefly homeless a few times. Several of those times happened to coincide with finals week and resulted in missing exams and failing a few classes. It ended up that, by the time I graduated, the only major I could successfully complete was in Philosophy, with a minor in Biology. I was the first person in my family to ever go to college and didn't exactly have much in the way of advice or help to go on. It turns out those aren't particularly lucrative fields and don't really point you in any specific direction when it comes time to look for jobs.

Well, back then, the state of California guaranteed a minimum starting salary of $79,000, and paid overtime, to prison guards, which was roughly double what I was looking at making from doing anything else. So I applied. The only reason I didn't end up ever actually working in the prison system is that the background check and psych eval process took over a year to complete, and by the time they gave me an offer, I'd already joined the Army.

Almost 18 years later, after going back to school again while in the Army for Applied Math and Computer Science, here I am, but in another timeline, I'm a prison guard.

> Sadly the Middle East culture and religion is incompatible with the one in Europe.

Which Middle East culture and religion? Be specific. Are you talking about Israel? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Kurdistan? If you're going to condemn a whole ethnic/religion group at least pick just one, not a random grab bag of "brown people".
The if negates the question.
So they're willing allow support for neo-Nazis as long as they're fighting the big bad Russians?
One of the reasons that JFK's military advisers were initially against the naval blockade of Cuba and in favor of a full invasion, is that a blockade is essentially an act of war anyway. It is a relatively modern concept to do more than use the threat of "blockade" level sanctions without a declaration of war (declarations are out of fashion, but a meaningful mutual understanding that the parties are at war).

Just like Syria, Yemen, and several other conflicts, the situation is horrendous, but from all rational perspectives, I don't think Ukraine should precipitate a war between nuclear powers. An economic blockade like the SWIFT proposal would possibly cross over into war.
I don't buy this logic. If China can get dominance, there is no reason for it to wait for the SWIFT to ban those bad actors. They can start their own system on the side right now.

This will just lead to a further balkanization of the internet. China and Russia aren't going to sit by and be beholden to western tech and financial stacks when they can be cut off at any time.
I’m 34. I don’t think age matters that much. What matters the most is not even the method you use but the time spent with the language.
How do you sanction China when a good chunk of western industries rely on Chinese factories? Without a collapse of western economies? Maybe the people who outsourced all our manufacturing and know how to China should have thought about all that...

We're still in the middle of a chip crisis and haven't still figured out that relying on the region constitutes a threat to our way of life. Are we bringing back all these plants to the west? We aren't...
> He is afraid of the NATO and deems the EU and the USA untrustworthy partners.

Think about this a bit more and you will realize that this explanation makes less than zero sense.

NATO members in the Baltics have bordered Russia for almost two decades with zero sign of interest in invading Russia. Even right now, in the aftermath of Russia performing imperialist conquest not seen since WW2, there is zero interest in military intervention against Russia.

Stable democracies are simply not going to go to war with a nuclear power.

Spot on. Also, the same person or group can overdiscuss one thing and underdiscuss another.

Talking and easy. Analyzing something carefully and saying meaningful things take effort.

You rarely hear of software being designed too carefully.
It really depends on what your goals are with the language. If your goal is to "be able to communicate basic needs while visiting Paris for five days" then A2 is likely sufficient. If your goal is to "converse on a range of subjects with locals while living in France for a month" you're probably needing closer to a B2.
I’m in my early thirties and similarly learned French from 0 to a conversational level in a bit over a year. (Though I was already pretty strong in Spanish so that helped significantly)

The age thing is mostly a myth imo. If you put in the time and effort you’ll get a lot back.

The biggest issue is the concept of fluency. A lot of people believe they have to be 100% perfect or they don’t “know” the language. In reality, from the moment you start you will continually become more and more comfortable in an asymptotic manner (no one knows 100% of a language, ie what percentage words in the dictionary do you know).

The biggest piece of advice - get comfortable in dealing with ambiguity, and don’t try to force constructs from your primary language onto the one you are learning. Meaning: don’t say X word means Y word in my native language, therefore I can use it exactly the same (it’s a different word, VERY likely with different connotations).
I know someone who augmented his English study by spending more time on the bus than necessary and sitting near old ladies who were chatting amongst each other.

YouTube is quickly going on its way to becoming of low relevance. It will take a while, but when even non-controversial YouTube channels have to speak in code words in order to not get demonetized/striked/deleted, you know there's a real problem. I don't know if this banning of Ukraine support is real and, if it is, whether it's intentional or just another round of The Google's Best AI snagging on bugs again, but it doesn't matter. YouTube simply is becoming an nonviable platform to tie to one's business or opinions. At this point, you're not even that likely to get a following without several years of posting videos every day because of just how biased YouTube has become against small creators; you're better off posting on smaller video platforms or even just making your own website.
Well there will be some damage to eu countries. East europe accounts for 15% of all german exports, being the largest market, should they start playing the sanctions game as the eu seems to enjoy whenever someone is out of line? Basically buying russia’s gas means financing a potential war against nato member states.

It boggles my mind the endemic shortsigtedness regarding deep knowledge of systems that is shown by software owners.
