The veto is not absolute. UN General Assembly Resolution 377,[0] also known as the "uniting for peace" resolution, allows the UNGA to act in a special session where the use of a veto in the Security Council means it fails to act.

In fact the resolution was invoked by the Security Council yesterday,[1] and in such a procedural vote there is no veto.

The special session of the UNGA will be held today at 10:00 New York time (15:00 UTC).[2]

Extra steps, and extra fees, and the risk of exchanges. So I don't think you're missing anything. It's Bitcoin maximalist economic nonsense.
There are basically two outcomes for someone involved in a war. Either their world will end, or they will have to live after the war. Which is a roundabout way of saying that on an individual level the economic calculations aren't that different from usual. They still need to plan on living a life after the current conflict, and will need to preserve their savings despite a rather predatory government looking for logs to throw into the fire of war.

What ordinary people desperately need is assets they can hide from their government to preserve some wealth. However, because it is 2022, they also have the option of assets that literally nobody can take off them. It'd be worth a shot, maybe the legal situation will be different in 5-10 years and if they invest in a crypto they'll be able to trade it for something.

I like their odds in literally anything more than odds in the Russian rouble. So crypto would make sense.
Have you tried using Syncthing? It's open source, free as in beer, and should fit your usecase well. I'm using it for my Obsidian notes, and it's pretty much frictionless.

You mention this is a side project, and of unknown scale.

Some of the suggestions here are adding complexity that's probably uncalled for unless the project is large, such as kubernetes, docker etc.

You can simply install it on a vps, even the one hosting the app server. It's relatively straighforward unless you're doing unusual things. Just consider how to do your backups so your data is safe, and change the default passwords.

Why irresponsible? My take on it was that message was aimed at Ukrainians living in the UK who wanted to go and fight. Your average Brit isn't even going to humour that idea.

Of course German weapons have been used in various conflicts in various ways. Dual use stuff even more. I as a German did not like it and not vote for those who did it. It was kind of dirty industry politics to stretch the official policy of foreign politics. I have always said the official policy was dishonest. If you do not export to any crisis area, you should not export at all. You are not a credible vendor if you stop selling when the buyer wants it most. In all fairness it was rather limited compared to other weapon exporting nations.

The difference since Saturday is: You can hardly vote for any politician anymore
that does not openly support exporting weapons into an ongoing war. It's a huge turn-around.
Just tried Insomnia, and it doesn't support OpenAPI 3.1.

Yes, you can import a collection from Postman. As far as I can tell, it doesn't import the Pre-request scripts though, not sure why.
I expect it's easy to send funds via crypto to and from there and regardless of sanctions from the west. It's unlikely to be the only solution even after swift and other bans but it's an easyish extra option, especially for those already familiar with the ecosystem.

I employed another questionable technique in that project to avoid the default font-weight of 300.
The specific custom font that the design required didn't have a semibold variant, only medium.
So I declared the "Light" variant as 400 in the @font-face declaration and put regular at 500, medium at 600.

So many more "requirements" of this client and my employer were terrible, I tried my best to improve or avoid them.
Too many animations, huge images, stupid scroll-related effects etc.
There are multiple stakeholders involved and I tried my best to voice concerns and positively influence decisions.

In the end I just have to move on and look for better work.

Inviting former parts of the Soviet Union to join NATO is not "diplomacy."[1]

My sibling suffers from schizophrenia. They're not involved or take any interest in any conspiracy theory or related community, but their delusions are definitely similar to those of conspiracy theories (but even less coherent).

People like Tucker profit from the intolerance of their political enemies. If his opposition is afraid, it tries to consolidate behavior and even language. Of course that is repulsive to many people and they stop calling out people like Tucker because he now has utility, even if it is only a distraction.

I think the arguments about NATO are plainly correct. It does not warrant an invasion, but you have to be quite ignorant if you believe that it cannot be seen as a form of aggression. They wanted to install missiles in eastern Europe a while ago. They wanted Georgia and Ukraine associated. You just have to look at a map and see the developments after WW2. Acknowledging that fact does not mean you agree with an invasion. It means that there needs to be better heads at NATO or we need other alliances.

Ultimately the country invading is responsible for doing so of course. It is only right to protest against the war.

> I think unwittingly rehashing the canard arguments of Putin.

I wonder why he even tries to seek a justification. But anyway that should not be your concern. NATO did expand in eastern Europe, quite aggressively at times. I am not sure who is driving the wedge if you deny the fact that there are now many countries in NATO east of Germany. Even without any contractual obligation, you can still behave aggressively. Bush trying to be a strong man just like Putin tries now made him force the association with Georgia and Ukraine because of the war on terror. It is what it is. Any deescalation with Russia will put that on the table. The sooner we can acknowledge this fact, the sooner the conflict can end again.
I would reply, but since those angry warriors downvoted my very reasonable comment, I should not.

Perhaps I should stop trying to talk on hacker news at all.

I think you're directionally correct. It's too late for Russia to amass any amount of BTC to mitigate sanctions. They need to exchange something of value for the BTC, and right now, everything they own is worthless or (figuratively) radioactive. However, every time currencies, banks, and payment systems are disrupted, demand increases for alternative trade and transfer mechanisms.

Really hope this is true because it probably reduces risk of more violence. If Putin was convinced to carry out the operation because some war hawks said it would be a cake walk, they will now be out of favor and the more sober and calculating Putin will realize this was all a big mistake and that further attacks will just make things worse.
With the prevalence of alcoholism in Russia, it is curious they denounce drug uptake that much.
> While I admire Wirth's work, his goal to pursue a minimalist Oberon with Oberon-07 is not so interesting to me.

While it may not be interesting to you, it is what the linked project is all about.
Sure, it's tolerable and somewhat understandable. I'm just worried if the curve continues on this trend it will eventually go from “very hard” to touching the “not allowed” axis.
As much as I dislike the whole crypto space, I can see how crypto stable coins (which comes with it's own risk...) could help Russian people secure their savings against government seizing and also fight against the devaluation of their currency.
Understanding spoken language means building a representation of the current sentence in your mind. For all but the shortest sentences, this can't be done word-by-word or even phoneme-by-phoneme. Humans have a working memory of 7+-2 items, and it gets quickly overloaded that way.

When we know a language well enough, we actually compress the sentence to a mental model that takes a lot less space in that working memory. But this only works when we know every word of the sentence and understand the grammar involved. Even one unresolved word often means the sentence expands from one chunk to at least three chunks.

Of course, your speaking skill also improves all the time. But at least in my case I feel like I can usually speak better than listen, in a new language (and I've had a few).
Trustzone isnt a coprocessor though? Meaning you have to initialize it. As far as i understand it its a more fancy MMU?
That was the same conclusion I came to when I tried it. Freenet works, but it's slow and there's barely anything there. Unfortunately, a big draw to use a network is how many users it already has.

I take a stab at it about every 5 years. Each time getting a bit closer to accomplishing anything. Great for learning about Linux though.

Lots of exposures, which were slightly too long: I think those were on the order of 0.7 seconds (which is why the stars were elongated). I just went back out every ten minutes to keep the camera pointed at the target, and used the free software package siril to calibrate, register, and combine the images.

I was pleased enough with that result and the images I took of some other targets with that technique, I got a tracking equatorial mount. Ironically, my first images from it were worse due to exposing the sensors banding that escaped calibration which had been covered up by all the frame to frame motion in my untracked images: https://files.catbox.moe/r0vlqt.jpg

(I've since figured out how to address the noise, https://files.catbox.moe/fu23xd.jpg , but now Andromeda sets too early to photograph until months from now. :) )

The hearts feature also encourages you to repeat the lessons more. It can be more tedious, but may be better.

Also with the mobile apps there are these special XP challenges which you can use to repeat what you have learned before. I use these a lot, and it's more fun. I also notice when I'm too far in front of my skis, in that those exercises seem to difficult for the time allotted. That is a sign that I progressed too quickly through the lessons.
Could you explain what you mean when you mention that "First the West reneged on the Nuclear deal with Iran"?

I understand why the current situation would encourage Iran to pursue nuclear weaponry, but the agreement as far as I know did not include any defensive pact, so Iran didn't agree to forsake development of nuclear weaponry under the promise of protection from the west (which is now proving to be ineffective), it promised to forsake nuclear weaponry in order to be allowed to pursue peaceful nuclear technology. So what related lesson is to be learned from the West reneging on the deal?

Or are you saying that since the deal would have made Iran into a [nuclear threshold state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_latency), this is the West reneging on the deal to allow Iran the technology to defend itself, and the lesson is that they should never have relied on the West for that in the first place?
There's always an option to invest the money using foreign brokers like Interactive Brokers (they even have russian UI and support) who did not boot russians previously. Or buy a property and rent it, which is a popular option too. Or cash out the foreign currency and keep it under the mattress.
We're talking about savings here. Buy crypto stablecoins, store somewhere encrypted. Then move out of Russia and collect your savings. Or wait it out until the dust settles.

Anyway, do you have a better way how to store wealth or savings in such situations? Crypto seems like a very good option.
Better technology doesn't exclude corruption and botch.

There are to many examples in the past where profit resulted in security protocol and standards not being adhered to.
But that will take 30 years to play out. The Russian issue will be over long before that, one way or another.

Humans have survived on Earth without infrastructure or farming for most of our existence, so even if the worst happens I can see some people surviving if there are enough natural resources left. It would of course depend on hunter / gatherer skills, which most people do not have, but are totally learnable.

In the book Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari - he even suggested that hunter gatherers had a far better quality of life compared to someone living in a farming society. Obviously what we have now is far better than either.
I think it's naive to think that the Russian government can't interfere with funds held in crypto by Russian people. In the least, they can prevent them converting it to fiat currency.
If the Pixel density differs ( a lot ) then yes it doesn't matter. But you still need economy of scale. This doesn't matter as much now because current LCD panel industry is essentially left over by Smartphone market.

There are more complex models than the one you described.

>it could be a net win to abolish the special veto rights enjoyed by privileged nations.
A veto-free and empowered UN should greatly reduce the need for biased military alliances [...] , I would much rather prefer fixing the UN

Your proposal won't work because it misunderstands that any U.N. "cooperation" happens at the convenience of the members. So let's imagine UN gets rid of veto rights. You've now made the U.N. organization less relevant to powerful countries. So China, Russia, and United States no longer have veto rights? Then their self-interest means they'll just quit the UN.

With the UN, you have to balance game theory incentives for powerful countries to participate and respect its rules.

The UN membership and cooperation (preventing wars) is a different dynamic from an economic trade organization like the WTO.
To be fair that should count for both sides. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

> Americans eat about 150m chickens each week that have been treated with PRTs, and they have come to little harm. Britons worried about these birds should consider that small amounts of disinfection byproducts are already ingested. According to the pro-trade Adam Smith Institute, chlorinated poultry would make up 0.3% to 1% of the disinfection byproducts consumed in the typical daily diet. (Drinking water makes up 99%.) American chickens would also be far cheaper, which would greatly benefit consumers. Moreover, nobody would be obliged to buy chlorinated chickens. “Organic” American chicken is not dressed in PRTs. All in all, chlorinated chicken is a paltry concern compared to what else will be on the negotiating table.

My summary: you already eat shit, so shut up and eat some more, it's cheap and anyway it's the least of your worries.
