Do you actually believe that you would be able to enjoy the same level of human relationships with an octopus? How about a cow? Or a coackroach? You can attach romantic feelings towards anything since if you were so traumatized by having destroyed an sentient thing for your own benefit you would simply not allow yourself to exist.

I did not engage with your comment further since it signaled the same amount of moral depth like someone who will claim that homeless meth addicts are humans too and they will invite them to a warm dinner with your family.

I seriously somehow doubt that octopus is a hill that animal activists will die on seeing they failed to stop the whaling industry or a certain anti-oil virtue signaling girl with parents who work for the EGR industry who successfully convinced a bunch of people buy EVs.

I'm willing to bet that YC is probably going fund a company that will be able to produce imitations of Crustacean meat once the narrative Octopus Lives Matter have disseminated into coastal cities.
Iraq was quite questionable. The motive, oil/currency, was understandable though reprehensible. The terrorists weren't from Iraq, but Afghanistan/SA; GWB's decision to attack, and destabilize both a country and international order (as we're now experiencing) is his legacy.

The difference here is that Ukraine did their best to appease Russia, including promising to never join the EU/Nato for promises of security. It seems like Ukraine was ready to give everything for independence, but their independence was unacceptable.

What does RF have to gain from this? Most publications say very little. What are they missing?

Seriously? That doesn't seem to match the outcomes of regular breeches, 0-days, etc. - many reported right here. The state of security is often considered terrible and unrepairable; experts advise assuming you have been breeched.

The balance of power is similar to Poland in 1939. I expect it will take approx 2 weeks (1-3) for Putin to force the last regular Ukrainian army unit to lay down their arms, if their leaders don't surrender before that time.
I want the same answer.
Imho it's too high in omega6s

And the omega3s it has is ALA, which your body has to convert to EPA or DHA to use, and the conversion is usually crap. Like 5-10% of ALA actually becomes something usable.

Rapeseed isbetter than canola due to the processing for canola raising the omega6 profile even higher.

But if it were up to me? I'd find another oil.

It's pretty inevitable that working in offices will return. Not for all employees and not full time, but it will return.

For any role that has a heavy teamwork component, having some people in person and some remote sucks.

Add on top that face-to-face has value - managers remember people they interact with, not email they receive. Over time we'll see that people who favor face-to-face interactions will be the ones getting promotions, raises and the interesting work.

This was even true before Covid - we had people who were fully remote. They loved it, but they also got the grunt work. Shoot them an email and tell them to send it back by X date. They never got included in last minute calls

Russia has a lot of spy satellites. A bunch of them could serve as bridges between Russia and regular homes in EU/US with a good fiber connection, datacentres, etc. Also microwave or fiber connections through the border to the many countries around them.
> Almost none of the people on HN have anything to contribute to the Ukranian military.

Many people here could participate in their cyber efforts, and/or know others who could. I would think HN would be an especially fruitful recruiting ground.

Also, public support worldwide is essential, as is evidenced by both sides' intense investment in it.

I find it interesting how often the reason "but that's illegal" comes up since I've moved to Germany. In France : sure, we generally keep to the law because that is the point, but when a situation calls for crossing a red light because it's 1am, you're on foot, there's no one on the road in sight or hearing distance, and your last train is about to leave, you bet virtually everyone would make that judgment call and cross the street independently (in germany it would really depend on the person from my impression).

It's tricky, though, talking about illegal things online. I feel like the internet was more free ten years ago. If anything was illegal then you put a "for educational purposes" disclaimer on it but the information was available or hypotheticals could be discussed fairly freely. People can think for themselves if they want to put anything into action, and might decide more based on morals than, say, their employer's contract. Indeed one does not hack russia, inform their employer in writing, and advertise their name in the tcp handshake in case they want to send them vodka.

How would you act if it was your country being attacked, would you still think "but that's illegal" ? Not saying that, thus, you must now do something illegal. I don't want to push you in either direction. But if you want to do this by your own morals (not anyone else morals) then, well, that's the thing the submission is calling for, not for consulting with your employer because their legal department is going to tell you to not do anything ever.

This thread is mostly full of jokes, and that's cool. But more seriously I'm exactly the kind of person I suppose this is meant to appeal to. I've spent the last 2-3 decades breaking into systems. Many of these systems comprise what the US calls "critical infrastructure". That's pipelines, power generation, transmission, distribution. Air traffic control systems. Government agencies.

I'm based in the US. The problem is that the US, unlike Russia, will not simply agree to allow attacks against foreign targets so long as its suits their strategic purposes. And I suppose that's for the best. In the meantime, myself and people like me simply aren't going to risk our entire careers to retaliate. I suppose if we felt strongly enough we would've joined the NSA and done this legally. I wish Ukraine the best and hope our "official" hackers are doing their best to assist or will be unleashed soon.
"Now of course your definition of "change the world" comes into play here"

Indeed.

Cloud Infrastructure = playing catch up to a player that set the stage (and still leads), Go I don't think "changes the world" quite as much as consolidates and improves things that already were available in everything from C to Python, but suited to a specific set of use cases that Google particularly cared about for their own business first and the "world" later. K8s came out in roughly the same window as other orchestration tech (e.g. Mesos) but had/s the benefit of the 'Google' name attached to it. It simplifies some things certainly, but is it really a "world changer"?

TBH, more seems to be about changing Googles world more than the broader one, but that goes to your original quote.

> So, plain act of talking money from your customer is... inefficiency?

Hey, bit of a late reply, but yes.

You need to keep a float to provide change, you need security measures around your float and your takings. You have to count and reconcile the cash at the beginning and end of the day. Someone has to take it to the bank. Banks charge businesses for handling cash deposits. You need a cash register too! Which implies space as well as expense. There are many costs around a business taking cash.

Clearly, taking cards isn't free either, but it's often missed when people moan about card fees that sure, if someone gives you the cash for your goods, you have the cash now. But you don't just stuff it in your pocket forever, and credit card fees often come in cheaper than the cash handling costs mentioned above. People like to say that hiding card fees is evil, and cash customers are subsidizing credit card prices, but often it's the reverse that's true. While there may not be a per-transaction charge you can point to, overall costs to a business for cash are non-negligible.

Apparently this was a major driver behind the "Cashback" model in the UK in the 1990s when supermarkets started to be able to perform a cash withdrawal as part of your food purchasing transaction - it saved you a trip to the ATM, but more importantly for them it cut their handling costs and security requirements.

I've interacted with a few IRL businesses that don't do cash at all. Many food vans in London when I worked there were operating with a phone and a square reader only. This morning I bought a doughnut from a new doughnut shop here in Western Australia, and they run the business from an iPad on a stand and a similar reader. Any lost business from not taking cash is clearly not important enough for them to take on the added costs and problems.

"China won’t ever stop working with them."

Not really. They've had a co-opitition things for decades (in the 60s they nearly went to a nuclear exchange, and it stayed frosty well into the 90s and has been touch and go since depending on who is benefitting from what; TBH I suspect Russia is also concerned about becoming a junior partner to the Politburo of Beijing, but first things first and their mutual enemy (the US) seems to be keeping them tenuously together.

But if Russia causes any negative externalities on the Chinese economy, it won't drive the PRC to the US, but could very much still push them out of assisting them in any way whatsoever. Even this month China has been talking about unassailable aspects of sovereign borders and not getting involved in such dsputes.
Let me very slightly push back: Google can't improve their search results without changing how they approach the problem. Now, it's Google, so the odds of them changing their approach is basically zero. But, it's my belief that for instance, a review team of 50 employees whose only job is to look at common searches and the results and hunt down ... let's call it low quality links... and manually blacklist them and pass aggregated results along to the machine learning teams that run the normal algorithm, could absolutely improve their quality. But, it's Google, and manual intervention is impossible (in their world view), so yes, in reality it will never be fixed.
A sibling poster points out there is quite a bit of original work but can we discuss acquisitions?

Most acquisitions are kind of gigantic re-orgs: they cost a ton and rarely leave things better than when they started - oh and generally execs will always feel they were successful :)

Most of the examples you listed are the dream acquisition with exponential improvement. I have a hard time seeing Android on 2 billion devices or YouTube with millions of creators delivering HD content across the world without standing hand-in-hand with the rest of the teams at Google. Similarly Google would not be able to do it either (Google video would have been sunset without YouTube acquisition and no one was building a consumer electronics focused os).

Google certainly has screwed the pooch on many acquisitions but to chalk up all those other successes as a given or as pure luck is a naive statement. There was a ton of hard work, huge chance of failure and really impactful results.

> It's the wrong way since there is no independent entity monitoring these programs for efficiency.

Which programs do you mean? There are many watchdog agencies in and outside government, including the press, and including right here right now.

A broad statement, but what is it based on? There are honest and dishonest people in government, just like the people on my block.

Is your point that the majority of people don't consider their own actions as moral agents so we shouldn't either? If you're browsing this website from a phone or computer you are beyond the clamber of mere survival. You have time for ethical reflection.
CSS imports are not equivalent of JS imports and it doesn't make sense to blame JS. The source is just a series of declarations and no dependencies, and it's simple and clear how they override each other. CSS doesn't have namespaces or modules until web components, so when you import another source you cannot choose what symbols to include (or they just don't have symbols at first place). It's almost a syntax sugar of including another <link> tag in HTML. CSS imports and JS imports have the same name but they don't have anything more in common.
how is using cap clunky? works great
The C++ standard does not, in fact "acknowledge it is an OS problem the library can't fix" in respect of remove_all it plainly says this function doesn't remove files resolved to by symbolic links even though sometimes it does.

The extent of its "acknowledgement" is that it says elsewhere in the standard that if there's any filesystem race you get Undefined Behaviour. C++ programmers can't do anything with this except, as I explained, insist on exclusive control over the system where their program runs during the entirety of its runtime to avoid this Undefined Behaviour.

> macOS has a native color picker that is apparently so good that someone reimplemented it for iPadOS.

I recall the colour picker being one of the first features that blew my mind upon getting my first Mac running 10.3. I could save swatches OS-wide, I could switch between different selection modes (and install custom modes of my own), and I could even use an eyedropper-like tool to sample any pixel on the screen.

There's probably some LinkedIn allegory about attention to detail in there.
That's where it started, but they're entirely separate banners now.

It is actually not allowed to organize raids or other Anonymous-style hacktivities that are against US law on 4chan. So, calling for cyber war may just net you a warning from moderators. The board is not the bastion of absolute unregulated free speech people think it is!

More broadly, outside of the current geopolitical context, trying to pick a target and rally anons against it is in bad taste. If you try, you may be told that "4chan is Not Your Personal Army" (NYPA).

As a result, the various "Anonymous" groups really don't have a home there.
Or - Putin is contained, grows old and dies. The Russian people may have an opportunity to dismantle his legacy and become a new country. Perhaps, he simply needs to die without escalation the circumstances to near-MAD.
Sure, but whose traffic is truly going to be disrupted? There's a reason they had this stuff about being less dependent in the past, I seem to remember they disconnected DNS traffic to the outside for a day as a test a few years ago. This 80% will impact the netflix/youtube streams, video takes a lot of bandwidth (megabits per second) compared to push-to-talk audio (kilobits per second) or plain text (~21 bytes per second is the average american reading speed). Sure there will be overhead and webpages are crazy nowadays so you need more than 21B/s, but e.g. email can work very easily on 20% of the typical bandwidth (probably also 2%, but it depends on the specifics, e.g. QoS would help a lot there).

And even if you reduced it to a few megabits snuck in and out for the whole country, the military would use that and what's impacted is civilians. Bad for the economy? Meh, if all countries were already convinced to be against russia, then trade would be at a standstill and no comms for civilians would not matter that much financially.

That's not to say it's not worth a try, but I expect it won't be effective, or if it is, I'm skeptical that it would hinder them much more than any traditional trade limits already could.
Being generous, one would take into account the folks who click to the second, third, etc page of results. But I highly doubt there's a fat enough tail there to amount to much.

Ah, now it's raking of forests again, after you cried out that he never talked about raking but about 'forest management', a phrase I am sure never crossed his lips. But maybe, if you continue your research, you can come up with differences between Finland and California.

Impeached, period. But yes, now Putin's little puppet is praising the master again.

> The other stuff you listed is ridiculous as well.

Indeed. All on tape and video, for the whole world to hear and see. Never before was the head of a country made fun of by the whole planet. Never in the history of the UN was there another clown like this laughed at on stage, to his face. What an utter embarrassment and failure is that guy, that the whole world turns away from this cringe.
If you want something to be written by scientists for scientists, you have to make it inaccessible to non-scientists. Otherwise people are going to take it as the gospel truth. And honestly, they should put up major guard rails on any article interpreting a scientific study. It's too easy to miss things that other people will take to heart.

As a lay-person, when I come to this article, I have no idea of the information in the study. Which is why the veneer of a scientific study on this makes it actively worse for me to trust. And then if I ever find out the study is wrong, I trust science less, because I put my bets on a finding that was basically a coin-flip conclusion.

Now, I'm not inclined to trust the scientific process less because it finds something is wrong, but I also don't think I'm the average internet person.
