To clarify why I posted that, I was referring to the mention of the power cutting out suddenly on commercial e-bikes. They only do that because of the regs, and commercial mountain E-bikes do the same thing, because of the same regs. They are not limited by their technical capabilities, just the regs.

Older bikes used the circumference of the wheel and a count of rotations to calculate the speed, so people could de-limit them by changing the stored circumference constant in the eeprom. Modern e-bikes use a combination of sensors at various locations to detect motion, acceleration, pedal force and tilt angles to decide how to apply the power but I think even with those added sensors, the speed is still detected via the wheel rotation sensor.

Seems some people don't like the regulations as the parent comment got downvoted, rest assured I did not single handedly write the global regulations, and I don't like the speed limiter either.
Putin lied to the UN. Before this invasion, the parent might have been true. But now it is clear that Putin is a liar to the world.
I don’t know. Mr P would have made that the excuse to invade. In war perception and public sentiment is very important too. Biden would easily lose popular support in this hypothetical scenario. As is there doesn’t seem to be much support from the right at the moment.
You are right, Ukraine doesn't need the approval of Russia, however, becoming a member of NATO is only possible if membership does not affect security of any other country. That's written on paper and one of the conditions. But since the US politics is against Russia (for some _stupid_ reasons - do a research and educate yourself), Ukraine becoming a member of NATO is a direct threat to Russia.

Edit: I also want to add to this that the US is completely aware of the situation. They know exactly that their decision not to stop the expansion leads to a war. First, the US is not stupid. Second, there is a great example - Georgia, where war for the exact same reason took place. So, who's to blame here? Is it really Putin? My common sense tells the opposite.
Look up the chant - Moskalyaku na gilyaku - which supporters of the current regime chant all the time. Plenty of videos of that. Check what it means.
> eg hold the super key and scroll with the mouse

This leads to the kind of unexpected behaviour I am talking about, where muscle memory gets tangled up or you're working quickly and you do the action you want for one scroll while accidentally still holding down the modifier key.

When there's scrolling at so many levels in e.g. web content, binding yet more things to different modified scrolling motions is a bad idea.

If gestures work (big if, in my experience, in a system that unless something has changed really recently still has less than stellar trackpad implementations) then it would be less painful.

> I feel like this is asking the question of whether the TAB key will indent or switch controls or switch to a different window or whatever when you have an ordinary wm.

Not something that troubles me in ordinary apps on the Mac, at all (because app switching is command-tab) but I concede that this is regularly aggravating on the web.
The US government definitely does not regulate the guy downtown who exchanges my dollars for pesos, except in the sense that they could place economic sanctions on him if they decided he was a "terrorist" or something.
The period of US hegemony from WW2 until today has by far been the most peaceful time in the history of civilization. Unlike previous super powers, the US did not take over any other countries or colonize by force. We have done many horrible things, like support dictators, invade Iraq based on lies (to depose a dictator), etc., but we have also supported people all over after natural disasters, helped with foreign aid to relieve famines, policed global trade to enable fair markets, and many other good deeds. It's definitely not the only way, and we could do much, much better, but show me another major country that you would prefer hold the reigns of global power?
Basically, yes. The hardware is QWERTY, and something in software has to be fiddled with to get my preferred layout - on Linux console that's loadkeys, in X11 it's setxkbmap or a config file, other systems do their own thing. The annoying thing to me is that in X11, the X server (usually Xorg) was the single point of configuration, and setxkbmap would work with any window manager without any special support needed; in Wayland, the compositor replaces Xorg and the window manager, so every single compositor has to do its own support for changing keyboard layout. As a sibling comment notes, wlroots appears to make this easier to implement, but as far as I can make out (I'm not much of a programmer) the dev still has to actually wire it up to do that, and cardboard doesn't seem to have done so. In the general case, I'm annoyed because the end result is that even if everyone did implement it, every single compositor would have its own special setting, when before I could either run setxkbmap or set it in the Xorg configuration file and it would work regardless of what window manager I happened to be running today.
Agreed. She really did a great job explaining how the progress of fusion research is regularly miscommunicated to the public as more significant or quickly applicable than it actually is.

Fusion in general seems like a false hope for any of our near term energy problems.
At the time at least one 128 bit computer had been on the market for several years: The Rational R1000.
He is hinting that he can nuke everyone who will stand against. This is a typical tactic of bullies – to hint death threats, without directly stating them. Also they want to assure you that they can definitely do it, even though they know about the consequences.

I wrote about such tactics in a blog post https://dandanua.github.io/posts/counterfactual-communicatio...
I used to use a Carbacap(https://www.morebeer.com/products/carbacap.html?gclid=Cj0KCQ...) adapter to hook up my tank to a 2L bottle.

Fill the 2L with cold liquid, pressurize, shake, pressurize, shake, etc. It's amazing to fill the bottle until it's hard and then as you shake it the co2 dissolves and the bottle gets soft. You can carbonate beverages more than normal with this approach. On the final carbonation, you'll want to put the bottle in the fridge for a while before you release the pressure so it stabilizes.

I made many custom and weird concoctions over the years with this setup.
Germany could have stopped the situation from deteriorating further weeks ago, but the new government are idiots.

I never have issues finding files. I am not particularly discipled and keep things very tidy, but I have folders for everything. Documents have their folder, software projects have their folders, photos have their folders, and so on. If I need to search for something I know where to look.

I won't necessary dislike another system to keep files organized and find them, beside a hierarchical one, but I have yet to meet one which is better than a file system.
The 2017 study was completely independent. The authors selected programs that matched their criteria.
God bless your people and army. I am so sorry, that I don't feel enough support being sent from the western world - from medicine to weapons and sanctions.
Don't macOS laptops do this by default?
This is noted in another comment, but it should be a top level comment... Magnus actively has COVID and has said that it was affecting his energy levels and ability to calculate during the early rounds of the tournament (during which this game happened).

And Pragg wasn't even the lowest rated player to beat Magnus this tournament! Eric Hansen, aka popular chess streamer "chessbrah", is even lower rated and also beat Magnus, which again you would not expect if Magnus were playing his usual level.

So still a great win and great accomplishment for Pragg, but a little context would have been nice in the article.
Note, the power output was about 1/3 the power needed to sustain the reaction.

> JET’s latest experiment sustained a Q of 0.33 for 5 seconds, says Rimini. JET is a scaled-down version of ITER, at one-tenth of the volume — a bathtub compared to a swimming pool, says Proll. It loses heat more easily than ITER, so it was never expected to hit breakeven. If engineers applied the same conditions and physics approach to ITER as to JET, she says, it would probably reach its goal of a Q of 10, producing ten times the energy put in.

This seems odd to me, nobody has reached a Q of 1 yet, and she's claiming to be able to reach 10? That's great if it's true, but it seems a little fishy...
I second this. Subnautica is the most recent game to give me that feeling of actual exploration; like there's a big deep world out there you can explore.
Every Western country should impose total sanctions on Russia. Stop all trade with Russia.
There's no reason to suspect that's what Rameshbabu's parents have done. There's no reason to bring this up. With a billion+ people everything is technically possible. Painting everything with the same brush isn't helping anything.
I never said Boeing should pay for other companies upgrades. Maybe I could have said "the companies that own the airplanes"... but I'm not unaware that other companies are affected... that fact was even in the comment I replied too.

I've posted [1] this to the SQLite user forum. To say the least they are not very inclined to fix it.

Ukraine has been preparing for this was since 2014. But so has Russia since 2008 (South Ossetia); that's largely what the Syrian excursion was for, to train troops and test new equipment in real combat.

Russia is certainly much more powerful militarily in pretty much every respect: it has significantly more manpower, more and better equipment, and economics to supply it logistically. I don't think there's any chance for Ukraine to win on its own.

That said, Ukraine isn't Syria. It has an air force, and, perhaps more importantly, capable anti-air. It has fairly modern tanks, attack helicopters, and cruise missiles. Russia will certainly take considerable losses taking over.

The other aspect is motivation. On the Russian side, there are certainly people whose dream is coming true right now, but most soldiers - especially not conscripts! - are not really willing to take a bullet in the process of "de-Nazifying Ukraine". I don't expect any massive anti-war resistance, but they won't fight to the end.

On the Ukrainian side, there is a mixed bag. On one hand, most of them - even those whose native language is Russian, who might self-identify as ethnically Russian, and who might even support greater regional and language autonomy etc - don't really want Russia to violently take over. People tend to be motivated to fight desperately regardless of ideology when their cities are burning. But there's also a minority that would really like to repeat what happened back in 2014 in Donetsk and Lugansk (and what was kinda sorta attempted but didn't work out in Kharkov and Odessa), and who genuinely see the Russian forces as liberators. Needless to say, those people will make fine overseers once the fighting is over, and might even help during it.
I have a 5 month old daughter, so I obviously haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty keen on and have been setting up a Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi, so that when it's time for her to watch some videos, I want it to be a closed environment. No ads, no pushing of shit but specially, no endless stream of videos. I think what makes it worse is having the world in their hands and just be able to watch 2 minutes and skip. I see kids doing that all the time and it makes me feel uneasy. If it completely changed my ability to concentrate as am adult I can't fathom how that "power" affects the mind of a child.

My point isn’t the separation of duties, my point is that the people who productionize it also know a reasonable amount of theory.
> I am for keeping Ukraine as a neutral buffer separating Russia and the US.

How do you propose relocating Ukraine to the Bering Strait?
> With that level of mutually assured destruction, conflict if any would almost certainly stay conventional.

It's useful to remember that "almost certainly" is a synonym for "not necessarily".
Thanks for the reply. I like how you're thinking of it "start simple and evolve easily". Clarity in execution.
Tucker Carlson and the rest of the Republican party's support for Russia boils down to "we need Russian support against China".

Have they actually been to Russia? The country is intensely anti-Western and already on the verge of becoming a Chinese puppet state.
With the federal government instituting a vaccine mandate (that the courts mostly struck down over time) my company decided it was "get vaccinated or you'll be fired". You had to self-certify, then send in a copy of your proof of vaccination. Unless you had a medical exemption, you would be separated from the company if not vaccinated by the deadline.

It's still the policy and now proof of a booster is needed or again "you'll be separated from the company".
I explained why I skipped it in some circumstances, I think I probably watch 90% of them. Or does this sponsor block thing let you choose when to skip? It didn't look like it but that would be great if so.
Or the USSR as a nuclear powered thug. Afghanistan has a decent track record of beating out superior foreign occupiers.
It already exists and it’s called culture.
mutually assured destruction will not leave you any functioning military to have morale after nuking US. And in this case we will test the nuclear winter theory. Hopefully we can avoid that.
> but if you hit something hard enough to break a carbon frame, you'll have done even more damage to an aluminum one.

The problem with carbon isn't what happens when you ride it, but what happens by accident. Tipping a carbon bike over can cause stresses in a direction where the fibers are weak, thus causing significant damage with minimal force. Some carbon bikes are even so thin in certain places that the frame can bend if you press it with your finger.

This type of problem is not present in aluminum frames.
The separatist republics have constitutions that proclaim their borders as matching the corresponding regional borders they had in Ukraine, even though their de facto area of control is less than 1/3 of that. Putin claimed that his recognition of them includes that definition of their border. So Russia can push all the way to the regional border while still claiming that it's "protecting DPR and LPR".
The pattern that has worked out really well for me, is to just organize my data into specialized collections, and not worry too much about the underlying filesystem.

I can't believe how much trouble I went through trying to find the filesystem that could do everything.

I mostly use git-annex, and various tagging systems, or just git repos. Now my data is much more portable and flexible. None of these tools are perfect, but I'm using tools that are mostly good at the job.

Whatever problem you are trying to solve, you probably don't need to solve it for your entire filesystem.

What if the people of Ukraine do not want this?
That’s what Hitler counted on when he invaded Czechoslovakia.

The thing that bothers me about Xamarin.Forms and hence MAUI is that it's never finished. Even now Xamarin.Forms feels like it's in Beta, almost a decade after its first release.

NATO members have always been supposed to spend at least 2% of GDP on military, other than the US and I think the UK literally no one was.
I have hundreds of hours in Rimworld. I love the game description on its own website because it’s exactly what they say it is.

However I’m sad that there are so many cool things to manage in your colony except… water. There is no notion of hygiene or thirst and this always break the immersion at some point for me.

But I love that the game is designed to make you feel like each colonists are unique people that you can’t afford to let die, because it will be hard to recover and it will anyway change your colony forever.
My first character was a Night Elf. You can never capture that first experience of playing WoW. Starting out in Shadowglen and growing to the point I could reach Darnassus is simply the best gaming experience I've ever had. Then you realize that you're just on a tiny island and there is an entire world to explore beyond what you have just witnessed. I never thought you could experience actual awe in a video game before that. And I have never had that experience since then.
John Deere had a net income of 5 billion in 2021. If it genuinely takes them five years to figure out how to license software with that kind of cash flow, they need to fire their CTO.

Have you checked the news today?
I could see that happening in the next few weeks
When I went to one of these things, it was pretty much entirely about how to scope the work and how to write the proposal. Eg, for a big ERC grant, you need to propose something big and exciting enough to be worth 2 million euros, but small enough that you and 3 students/postdocs can do it in five years, since that's what 2 million euros can pay for. But our grant office did make sure that most of the speakers were people who had actually applied for these grants in the last round.

One really key thing for me was to reach out to senior colleagues in the same area (definitely not just at the same university) to get multiple examples of what successful grant applications look like. There's a bunch of text in the grant call, but the panel are going to be senior in-area academics who may know what a good application looks like, but won't necessarily be able to articulate all the rules.

Everyone I know finds writing proposals hard. So much of writing papers is being careful about citing prior work and not over-claiming for your results, but for grant proposals we are basically forced to make big claims about things that we have not done. However, it's worth noting that no one on the panels or at the grant agencies see research proposals as binding promises to do certain work: they mostly all want you to follow the science and change course if you spot something better.
Watching this now, it's very good.

I had forgotten because it was so long ago, but the tl;dr is Feb 22nd 2014.
Oh, people can always fight about and against nazis.

But I am not angry, just mildly annoyed, that my point does not get through.

(my point was the left right metric is not helpful - but when applied, you will find not a homogenous group, but right leaning nazis, as well as left leaning nazis, when defining right or left with distributing or conserving wealth. Another common definition would be racist, or not.

But I am out of this semantic debate)
Moreover she communicates that to achieve the desired goal, Qtotal is the one that must exceed 1, and that is harder to achieve. That is, total electrical energy generated to exceed total energy to run the system. You have losses down the road, particularly when converting heat to electricity.

It doesn't take away from research that is being done/must be done, but rather how far we are today from the results.
That's why they all rushed out to get the covid vaccines when he told them to, right?

"Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak."
Russia is intentionally hyping up the risk of nuclear war and WW3.

Western leaders should impose total sanctions on Russia but also calm their own populations that there will not be any military confrontation with Russia.
The US never invaded Cuba though.

Well, not officially and certainly not effectively.
“Nazi” in Russia means “someone who attacks Russia”. The president of Ukraine is Jewish.
They consider their security to be threatened, and requested NATO to discuss it. Officially. Which is kind of a big deal.

Article 5 can be invoked once, intentionally or by accident, e.g. a NATO plane is attacked over Ukraine. This whole thing is a mess. Despite history since the end of the cold war (which makes some of Russia's positions somewhat understandable, and the fact that NATO didn't do anything different in Iraq and Afghanistan), if Western-style democracies don't want to loose their freedoms they have to act. Appeasement usually doesn't work with expansionist powers.
I’m trying to help my programmer friend escape Ukraine. Since smuggling is a hack, I’d like to ask HN for suggestions on how to pull this off.

His elderly father is being drafted. I got a DM from a mutual asking me whether there’s anything I could do for them. I have money but no knowledge of the country; they live there but have no money.

During WW2, various affluent people helped smuggle Jews out of Germany. I’d like to help my friend’s family in a similar way. But the reality of doing this is very different than the stories from history.

Currently my only plan is to yeet some cash at them and say good luck. But I was hoping to come up with something better.

I could book an airbnb for their family in a neighboring country, for example.

Does anyone know if the busses are still running? Is it possible to leave Ukraine right now via traditional means, or would they have to hoof it on foot? If they need to walk, does anyone have a suggestion on which part of the border might be friendly for an elderly family to cross?

I know this sounds unlikely, but given the choice between unlikely and “do nothing,” I’ll bet on unlikely.

It turns out that other people are trying to do this too. If we pool our knowledge, our chances probably go way up. Definitely get in touch.
For me it's the amazing soundtrack and the fact the world is telling you a story. This feeling is particularly strong in the early and midgame areas - some of the endgame areas were literally unfinished. Generally if you have had fun and success in some area, associative memory does wonders when you visit it.
Boeing pays for their upgrades. Airbus can pay for their upgrades. Douglas Aircraft pays for their upgrades after we revive the company.

Two US-owned companies remotely accessing peoples' mobile Internet devicces/cameras/personal document storage and disabling them throughout a country that just went to war?
