It's just the way of things. The only way to keep aggressors at bay is to project power, which is why every nation has police forces to ensure order. But there's no world police force, so nations must make do in other ways. And so the more powerful nations decide on the rules that all must in theory follow, and they also decide when they themselves can break those rules. It's why so many nations want their own nukes.

The "big boys" involved in the Ukrainian issue are America, Russia, and Germany. Germany is still too timid to act (owing to the war), and America and Russia still have ideological cold warriors in their government apparatus.
Doesn't seem likely. When you look at a variety of Europe countries which have a variety of different dates when it comes to loosing / strengthening abortion laws they also saw decreases in crime in the same time period as the US.

NewPipe is specifically designed to be privacy first. This means no account, no client-side tracking, as few web requests as possible, and everything (e.g. watch history and subscriptions) is saved offline. Thus it is impossible to show non-generically recommended videos or to enable chat.
haah. jokes on you. the next time you unlock your cpu, intel would dmca you and charge your with a felony. or more seriously, "warranty void if unlocked" meaning you would be penalized with not getting any warranty cover if you remove the sticker, kinda like android oems who do not let you unlock the bootloader or let you install custom roms because "security". microsoft pluto(pluton?) seems to be the step in this direction imo
I can’t believe I had to come down this far to see the Law of Headlines. C++ isn’t going anywhere for a long time. For all of its technical and design faults and overbearing complexity, its (yes, deceptive) compatibility with C, the most important language in the industry, even at the source level is unmatched and it’s the only language that even competes in the space that it’s in: a language with all the power of classical OOP, which is the paradigm of the industry (hated or not), with the performance of C. It has many different implementations to run on pretty much any computer you could want to run code on. Its compilers are industrial strength and best-in-class and it has wide tooling support. There is a broad talent pool to draw from for hiring.

Rust is the only thing that even looks close to a competitor, but it still has a long road before it’s viably a replacement, and its lack of OOP and strict ownership rules may prove to be too foreign for the vast majority of programmers who are used to slinging pointers around and OOP design patterns, not to mention the cozy C syntax.

Even if C++’s technical merits are lacking, it won a cultural victory by catering to both the hegemony of OOP and C.

The best news I can find about reports of interference is from this Bloomberg article. As a airline consumer, I’m glad the airline industry is being cautious, but as a radar engineer, I can say there is very, very low SNR to these reports of reports:

https://www.bloombergquint.com/amp/business/pilots-report-ov...

“The reports have come in the form of radioed descriptions to air-traffic controllers as well as through more formal incident-reporting channels. The FAA often gathers unconfirmed reports of aviation incidents, such as drone sightings, even if they’re difficult to verify. At least some of the reports from pilots of possible interference have occurred at locations where the C-band broadcasts don’t exist, suggesting no connection with the service, said two people briefed on the issue.”

Before the war has started in 2014, Ukrainians din't want NATO expansion. Overwhelmingly, they wanted to stay neutral.

In 2008 NATO summit in Romania, Ukraine and Georgia were denied from getting NATO membership plan, not invited: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7328276.stm

The orange revolution of 2004 has nothing to do with the west. Ukrainians did it for internal reasons.
Or, this could turn Ukraine into another Syria.
This was during an online rapid tournament. So still very impressive, but Magnus loses games online all the time and I'm not _quite_ sure why this is news.

It is interesting which junior players Magnus invited to the tournament, though - besides Praggnanandhaa, there's also Andrey Esipenko, who _did_ beat Magnus in a classical game once at the prestigious Tata Steel Masters 2021, and also Nodirbek Abdusattorov, who beat Magnus late last year en route to becoming the World Rapid Champion at 17 years old. A fun group! With Vincent Keymer in the mix too, you're only really missing Nihal Sarin and (of course) Firouzja for many of the future faces of chess.

[Edit: the article says that Praggnanandhaa is the youngest player ever to beat Magnus since 2013, which would definitely be newsworthy. I think the article must be leaving out important context, since this tournament is (1) online, (2) speed chess and (3) not FIDE rated, so it typically wouldn't be included in records, and Magnus has almost certainly lost random online games to younger players before. I'm guessing the article is referencing some other source without providing the relevant criteria, which is why it looked a little weird to me.]
Yeah it seems like that was the norm in the past, but it’s looking like CRISPR and it’s successors are shaped to change that. As long as the set of relevant genes is small, and in a small enough number of cells it should be possible to scale up. Genetic degenerative diseases of the eye, sickle cell, and similar show a lot of promise.
> I was excited about WoW because it was the most immersive game experience

In what way was it immersive for you? Not saying it's not immersive, but I didn't find it immersive. I played on release for the free month, hit lvl 60 and sold my account for ~$750. But at the time there was no end-game, liniar progression, once you level there's no need to go back to other area's, etc. So it was quite boring.

But I know people who have played since day 1 till now who swear by it.

I started with Ultima Onine, tried EQ, Lineage / Lineage II, AC, DAoC. But while alot of people during those days played SNES/N64, or games on PC like War Craft, Counter Strike, AOE/AOC. Me playing UO and such I was a 'computer geek' etc, but when WoW landed all of a sudden it was cool to play WoW, people who didn't even know MMORPGs were all of a sudden talking about upcoming WoW game. At the time I didn't understand because gameplay was much more immersive in other games, but they didn't want to play any of the games I played.

I think WoW got alot right to get people into the game even tho they are things I don't like. The hand-holding, bound items, and questing system. But WoW success was definitely not because it was a good game. It got better over time and became great, till it ended up being terrible again. But on release it wasn't good.
> It's a deal that I felt would be very low hassle -- however, I guess the supply-side didn't think so.

Were they administratively prepared to accept payments? For instance, did they have business bank accounts, invoicing, tax numbers, record keeping - if not, then it would be a hassle to do all that in order to receive a once-off payment for a days work, even if the rate is generous. Indeed, they'd need to "go commercial" to make the hassle worthwhile. So it may not be as cut-and-dry as you thought.
Fuel taxes are a major source of funding, but depending on state it is not even the majority. California sits at about 50% funding by fuel tax [1]. Road wear does not scale linearly with vehicle weight either; larger vehicles add significant damage to the roads while pedestrians and bicycles have virtually no impact [2]. This matches my experience as well, a bike and pedestrian only trail in my hometown has been repaved only once in the last thirty years and is in good condition, while the roads have received more maintenance and are in poorer condition.

I would be in favor of moving to a per mile, per pound (scaled by actual wear estimates) axle weight tax system for all vehicles including bicycles. Based on the data though, it could get very expensive for some cars and would likely be nothing but an administrative burden for bicycles.

Russia and America turned Ukraine into a "if we can't have, burn it to the ground" situation.

I am for keeping Ukraine as a neutral buffer separating Russia and the US.

NATO proposed Ukrainian and Georgian membership of NATO in 2005-2008, in the clear knowledge that this would destabilize the situation.

France, Germany, and others were against this. The proposal began the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJBQikfYyKs

We then openly backed the 2014 putsch in Kiev, an open act of aggression just as irresponsible as a military incursion. CIA John Brennan, Senator John McCain, and Diplomat Victoria Nuland were there in Ukraine when Yanukovych was being overthrown. There is also evidence to show that we were involved through NGOs in overthrowing and promoting an atmosphere desiring the overthrow of Yanukovych.

That's the news.
Yes, the Uniting for Peace resolution is a framework for UN collective action in face of veto-power obstructionism, but it doesn't create either the capacity or the will to wage war against a major nuclear power. It works when the malefactor is a diplomatically protected client of a veto power, and maybe if it was one of the lesser (though still nuclear armed) veto powers, but turning back the main force of the military of the USA, Russian Federation, or PRC on their own doorstep? Uniting for Peace is a sideshow for that, it mainly is going to rest on whether one or both of the others of the major powers is willing to commit fully to the fight, and willing to accept the potential of escalation to a major strategic nuclear exchange.

(That doesn't mean it's useless; UfP could be used for coordinated action that isn't direct application of armed force, including a globalized sanctions regime.)
The US wasn't justified in those wars, and Russia isn't justified in this one. It's pretty simple.
NewPipe is great but it breaks quite frequently due to the use of unofficial YouTube APIs. I tried to get my girlfriend on it because she was annoyed by all the ads but it kept breaking every month. Vanced is nice but a weakness for both is that they can't support casting on a non-jailbroken device (and I suspect the issue won't be solved by jailbreaking).

"Why" is simple. Putin wants Ukraine, and he thinks the West is too weak, divided and dependent on Russian resources to do anything substantial about it.
Russia isn't doing as well as Europe economically. Ukraine sees its future with the West, and democracy. Putin can't stand a culturally-near democracy next door, one that rejects him and wants Europe instead. I don't think it's so much that it wounds his pride. It's more that it shows Russians an alternate path, and he's terrified that they might choose it (and reject him).

And I speculate that he might have genuine fears for his life if he's removed from power. Some of the oligarchs are not nice people, and they have lots of power and long memories.

All the rest is just BS rationalizations designed to provide the flimsiest attempt at a justification for what he's decided to do to stay in power.

(Anyone else notice that the way he provides "historic justifications" for what he's doing sounds a lot like the way Hitler gave historical smokescreens for why he had to attack Russia?)

When's it going to end? When Putin decides it's enough. Either that he's taken enough territory (which may be all), or he's forced the fall of the government in Ukraine and installed a puppet that will turn them toward Russia, or he's taken too many casualties, or the economic sanctions are biting too hard.
The government of the USA does, the USA itself does not.

From what I’ve gathered it’s mostly municipal incompetence.

Ottawa police let them get entrenched, going so far as to offer use of a city owned baseball stadium parking lot which rapidly became a logistics base. They assumed protestors would park their rigs and travel in to the city to protest in a traditional way.

Instead protestors set up camp on downtown streets in a weekend and the local police had no idea what to do. By then it was too late. There were over 8000 people present the first weekend.

Police stated that attempts at enforcement would not be safe, probably because police felt just as threatened as residents did and they simply didn’t have the numbers to break it up.

They then shifted their plan to “maybe they’ll get tired” for two weeks which took us right up to the emergency act being enacted and police being able to muster the numbers required to disperse the protest.

At the provincial level, well, it’s an election year and the premier has an awful lot of voters who agree with the protestors, so he did his tried and true crisis management technique of hiding in a dark room.
> The unique identifier for a Didget is a 64 bit number. It remains consistent throughout the life of that Didget.

How are safe-saves handled in Didgets? That's usually a case where a unique file-ID gets changed.

(Is "safe-save" the canonical name for this? Or atomic-save maybe? Where you save to a new filename, then move that file into place.)
I actually use the GCP free tier to run a few small things, it works really well for me!

There is a small catch though, getting a static IP for the instance is not free, and your egress traffic starts costing after you reach 1GB outgoing data use in a months time.

The cool thing is (afaict), getting a static IP and going over 1GB egress doesn't totally knock you out of the free tier, you just pay for the static IP and any data usage past 1GB. My setup ends up costing me under a dollar per month with a static IP and very light egress usage.

The performance of the machine is not great but it's also not terrible consider the cost. I pretty sure you could run a small website and some other services on it no problem.

We already have 128-bit computers if you're willing to count 128-bit vector units. (The internal data path of most CPUs is 128-bit these days).

So the basic problem with 128-bit comes down to one thing: memory. There is a physical limitation on the amount of memory you can have ready to access; if you've paid attention, there has been basically no growth in the size of caches in the past decade. Doubling the memory size of your basic constituents means you cut the effective size of that cache in half, and effectively using that cache is the biggest barrier to performance.

If you look at prior sizes, it's clear that 16-bits is way too small-that's 65,536 entries, which is easy to overflow in many cases. 32-bits gives you about 4 billion entries, which is generally sufficient for the vast majority of cases, but can overflow (it only takes ~1 second for a CPU to count to 4 billion). Overflowing 64-bits in a counter would take that same CPU a century to do, and it should be rapidly clear that there's not much that's going to use it.

Consider your use case of address spaces. Memory can't get all that much smaller; we're starting to come up on laws of physics, so there's only a factor of 1,000× or so smaller that we can get. We're barely at the threshold right now of exhausting the existing 48-bit address spaces (or 256TiB of memory), and even then, that requires things like memory-mapping entire disk drives to eat up that much memory. Apply that factor of 1,000 shrinkage, and you still don't cross the 16EiB threshold of a 64-bit address space. The need to address that much memory just isn't in the cards, and if it is, the memory is likely to be so heavily non-uniform that you'd probably see a development towards segmented address spaces again anyways to avoid needing 128-bit pointers generally.

The one use case that I consider the most likely is adding hardware support for quad-precision floating point numbers, since it already exists in several libraries as a soft float operation, it's well-understood, the datapaths can generally already handle it (a 128-bit vector FMA unit can relatively easily be extended to support a 128-bit scalar floating-point FMA anyways), and there's a small need for it.
small data point I guess - but I've seen this issue in the world, just a few years ago. The ex-bf was using vpns to upload things, and sharing stuff on the darknet and taking screen shots of the things, and sms-texting the pics of the things via some remote voip service from a different country - or was paying someone else to do some of that.

He also got one of those spyware things added to her phone. That was interesting situation let me just say. Anyways..

Now I know there are some leo in some places that are sophisticated enough to possibly track down where a burner card was bought or something and maybe get a video feed and go from there.. but my experiences have shown that most leo offices have bigger fish to fry with less prep/cooking needed, and even if they could try, they won't spend the time.

Why? Hierarchies seem like a natural fit for the human mind. We can know only the relevant parts, which might change according to what we're working on and confidently exclude entire large complex branches like the contents of C:\Windows or some program's temporary working files or whatever from our awareness.

They also combine in an obvious way. If you mount another filesystem somewhere, it's contained in that somewhere, not mixed in with the existing one in some unexpected complex way.

They're not a natural fit for real world data, but there's a tradeoff between serving humans and serving nature.
