The protests won't last long. Any protester risks getting a few years sentence going out every time, and russian prisons are hell on earth.
By kicked the can you mean denied their pleading to allow them to join after they threw out the Russian backed government like the USA Clinton State Department encouraged them to do resulting in current events happening to them while the West looked on?
Well, for one it creates an impression that "common people" of Russia are against Putin (which is false, he regularly gets 70+ percent approval ratings [1]), and this might discourage more severe economic sanctions against Russia (because sanctions would affect those "common people" more than they would affect oligarchs)

You have left out the part of that article that says that these protests are only about local issues and do not worry or concern the CCP.
Started maybe 4 years ago wanting to make art for a video game.
I took the Hunter S Thompson approach - he typed word for word I think TS Elliot.
Traced what i liked eventually took it more serious. Draw once a day - doodles & no expectations. I liked NMA's Steve Huston sketchbook class, but really no one can draw for you. Stefan Baumann has some coaching sessions but that's for oil painting. Finding someone local to give coaching might help.

The difference b/w SWIFT and CIPS is the recently discussed "freedom to transact". In China you're beholden to CCP. If they get "tired" you can be cut off and there is nothing you can do about. In the west you have somewhat functional legal system you can follow up with.
> The end result is, one dollar now holds value relative to the amount of dollars in existence.

This idea of commodity money is far detached from how it actually works. Thread has several good links if you want to learn how it actually works.

What is the reason behind so many people believing this? Do they teach it like this at school? (This resurfaces everytime money is discussed here)
My colleague in China walked by a protest and accidentally pulled out his phone to check messages in sight of the protest.

He was interviewed by state police for 10 hours the next Saturday.
>In 1985, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized rapeseed and canola as two different species, based on their content and uses.
> Even more shocking might be how the German elite and the working class view the Ukraine situation. To them, Ukraine was a source of worry due to its cheap labor wages and proximity to Russia would create a competing industrial center.

> Even more outrageous might be how many in Germany are actually in favor of Russia's actions to take Ukraine away from EU/NATO.

Both of those are very strong claims. What are your sources?
Duly noted, thank you.

Shallow dismissals can be an indication of a knee-jerk reaction, potentially based on existing biases and/or life experiences, as opposed to the kind of rational examination that makes HN enjoyable.

The fact that they're disallowed on Hacker News changes the tone of conversation here significantly, relative to other social media; comments that stop and make the reader think -- preferably with supporting references and at-minimum-plausible arguments -- are valued, and the resulting perception of the community by participants is one of an intelligent, well-mannered collegiate environment (with healthy competition). In other words, the kind of surroundings that have traditionally been associated with long-standing centres of education.

Whether that perception is accurate (or desirable, honestly) is, I'd argue, up for debate. As would be whether the use of the term 'hacker' itself has diverged between its origins[1] and the context in which it's used here.

No: it wasn't a knee-jerk reaction; this company appears to be awful and given their repeated behaviour, this seems like standard practice for them. I do not dismiss the hard work and ingenuity of the people who developed the feature -- I'm sure it was challenging and rewarding as they saw it -- but I don't believe that "hard work", "impressive work" and "good work" are always overlapping elements in a venn diagram.

Well, here’s a talk at Yale that makes the same points. I don’t know if everything in there is factually correct. But it does very clearly why Putin is acting the way he is.

Evil is a pretty strong word to toss around like that. The Nazis were evil. How is the West evil?

Western countries do a number of bad things, but they're not evil.
I honestly can't tell if that's supposed to be satire or not. Section 1 basically boils down to "Well, you live in the first world! Who cares if some farmers in Africa die from climate change? _Your_ kids will be fine!".

Besides that, all of the arguments that are presented seem to start from the perspective that having children should be the default. The author makes no claims that the world will be a better place for them, and therefore I see no reason why anyone would want to bring more suffering into the world, and cause more harm.
Yes, It's a big market and I am hoping for more brilliant use-cases outside what we're used to!

> In exchange for this regulation, deposits held at Chase or other member banks are treated as equivalent to Federal reserve dollars. That's because if for some reason, Chase is unable to pay back its depositors when they demand their money back, the Federal Reserve will "create money" to meet the obligations. This is essentially why bank runs no longer exist in modern banking.

This is not exactly true. Chase, like many other US banks, is regulated by the Fed, and deposits at Chase are insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). If Chase becomes insolvent, the FDIC will take over, pay depositors up to the FDIC insured maximum, and liquidate any Chase assets. The Fed is not required to do anything in such a situation.

The Fed may choose to conjure up some new money and loan that new money to Chase, and as Chase is a systemically important bank, the Fed might well do that before the FDIC steps in, but they are not required to.

Do not underestimate the power of open source intelligence gathering and well executed social engineering.
I think you skip the case when both communicating parties are not native speakers which is probably much more often case than when at least one side knows English well. And risk related to a misunderstanding caused by breaking grammar rules is much higher.
> Hitler didn't have nukes and super-sonic missiles

While relatively late in the war so it didn't have too much strategic impact, the Nazis literally invented the supersonic missile.
Thermal storage of various sorts looks pretty reasonable. I think it's constructing towers or digging holes to store gravitational potential energy that's being dismissed.
Thanks, useful to compare, Putin has a similar amount of troops as Iraq II then, although with shorter supply lines. Given how difficult the US had it in occupying both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the damage it did the country, this could well end Russia, at least for another 30 years.

I was too young to really get the scale of the first gulf war. Just transporting 700,000 troops seems astounding, let alone keeping them equipped in enemy territory.
How to Learn Physics/Math?
What are the best methods you have found to learn physics and math?
I've read both reports that Belarusian military is in Ukraine, and also not. I can't find a legitimate top AP or similar report. The not sources seem to be repeating video put out from Russia so I wouldn't buy any side right now.

Either way Belarus are defacto participants having done military drills, allowing tanks to move through their checkpoints into Russia.

Regardless of whether they are or are not shooting right now, Belarus is 100% a pawn of Russia.

That is the model Putin is trying to create in Ukraine.
Sorry, I take comment above as non-literal. Greta is not the direct cause but energy strategy driven by climate policies (where there’s push back against nuclear in some circles) might caused Germany land in a tough spot over-reliant on Russian gas supply.

This is my current understanding and an interesting topic I would love to learn more.
he argues that constant confrontation with west would push Putin to embrace alliance with China. this seems to be happening now. and since China became big customer for russian gas, he can be more agressive with Ukraine, without risking all of his revenues. And, btw, all the announced sanctions, even personal against Putin, did not dare to touch gas pipe from Russia to Germany. It is also telling, that this gaspipe is kept working despite all military activity surrounding it.
iWatches might just got sanctioned because of their glass comes from Russian company with state links. They chose to save on Corning's glass, with dire consequences for themselves.
ironic, but it actually supports my point so I'll leave it that way :)
Grass-fed animals unaffected.

Easy to get if you actually look and are willing to support regenerative farms in order to obtain the best nutrition possible.

I suggest researching into how animals turn grass into nutrients and the difference between crops for human consumption and grass.
One nit, many developing countries do pick overseas legal systems to resolve commercial disputes because local systems are not workable / usable. So you might be in india and philippines, but use a london bank for a letter of credit and agreements / bills of lading that are handled in London

https://www.gov.uk/courts-tribunals/commercial-court

A winning combo is a functioning, fair, nonpolitical legal system that works QUICKLY and predictably (fairness a bit secondary) and banking / finance so decisions can be enforced more easily.
I work on CRUD for life.

Rust is GREAT for that.

Is not the safety (borrow checker) but the combination of: Bare structs, enums, pattern matching and some traits (like Into) that make a breeze modeling business rules.
So reading this: Banks are basically a necessary "evil" to make the current money system work. When I read how banks works, their technology, and how money works in general.. It makes me think: Is this really the way we want it to work.

I'm not sure if crypto is currently ready. But one BIG reason for it to succeed, is that the current system is just old... We have all these fintech startups improving money flow, and transfer times, and easy of payment... But it seems like tech build upon tech. centralized startups/companies owning payment systems (Apple Pay, Stripe, Adyen).... Man, i'm going to buy some more ETH :p
My previous role was at a public facing ecommerce site. One day I started noticing a lot of public traffic to internal administrative endpoints that were failing - likely bots, but also to URLs that bots would have never known existed. Urls that only someone internal to the company would even know existed, due to the complex way they were crafted. It was very concerning.

We spent a LOT of time tracking down, and finally realized that the "bot" traffic was coming about 30 minutes after one of our employees legitimated visited the site. We found that user was using grammarly. Once we deactivated grammarly, all of the bot traffic stopped.

As best as I could tell, every URL that particular person went to in their browsers, grammarly had a service about 30 minutes later that would try and hit the url directly and ascertain what was there.

Haven't been on the crusade against it ever since.
"independent", are you really able to say it with straight face? I'm not even talking of russian posts, it is as partisan as can be, supporting Dem agenda and suppressing GOP.

> It arguably isn't possible to understand the halting problem without some notion of encoding (of the data that constitute a Turing machine in a form that can itself be processed by a Turing machine)

You can understand the halting problem without math. You can explain it logically. But the halting problem has nothing to do with Turing. As I stated, the halting problem was invented/discovered by someone else years after Turing's death. We don't need Turing or the Turing machine to understand undecidability since Alonzo Church already proved undecidability before Turing.

> but there's no reason that encoding has to be number-theoretic

Sure. Turing encoded to the standard description ( letters ) and to description numbers. But number theory is necessary if you want to follow Turing's approach since you need to show for starters that turing machines and computable numbers are enumerable.
Lots of great things being shared here. We never know if OP is actually Russian and aiming to do the opposite of claimed -- nevertheless let's share what we'd normally share anyways.

Adding on to what others have said I would say start with this. To be a useful "hacker" to *defend* your country start with ensuring you are not immediately exploitable yourself & then repeat for others close to you. A incomplete shortlist off the top of my head

1. Ensure all your devices are secured including great passwords, updates applied, minimal/no ports expose

2. Secure your financial instruments w/ great passwords and multifactor options.
physical devices like yubikey is (afaik) top of the line, other styles are an improvement over nothing.

3. Create backups of important things so you're unlikely to be blackmailed by ransomware

(others, what am I missing?)
Fair enough. This is actually a good call out. I tried to caveat with the "emotional but not rational". But perhaps that does not communicate well enough.

The historical narrative that has been told people of my age for much of their formative years is the above. Basically, Russia has been a thorn in Western World's side since the communist revolution, with leaders like Stalin and followers. Prior to that, despite some really bad czars, the rest of the world doesn't care too much.

So people like me, are sort of conditioned to have negative feelings about Russia on the world stage. That's the "emotional" part of it.

The rational part of me is able see that there's a lot of interesting dynamics. That Russian people are just as much people as I am too. That my own country has a history for the last 100 years that when seen from the outside is also none too proud of a story to tell.
Yeah I actually have no idea where India stands geopolitically and I had totally forgotten their considerable impact.
I wonder how their government views these events?
This is super helpful. Passing over to the orgs using Workspace in my world.
That seems harsh, Russia was actively looking for any excuse and those might be good enough. The fact they still attacked could look obvious now but that’s hindsight.
I'm just curious if this is true if you back china into a corner. I'd imagine they'd take over taiwan and south korea? Is our tech sector really immune from this kind of major conflict?

How much flash RAM etc do we produce locally etc?
The problem with these "present a tangental question / loosely unfamiliar but similar" questions is that they become useless when a candidate does know the answer as memorized trivia. At that point you're looking for a signal about "what does the candidate do when presented with something familiar but unknown" but receiving "can the candidate regurgitate an answer."

Of course you can then ask a different question, follow-ups, and so on, but you're so far off baseline compared to most candidates that the question starts to become useless.
Try as an experiment, lsay something factual (easily verified even by google) but pro-Russian, and see how many downvotes you get.
One of me has to do it

Thank you for participating.
The way to think of this is as part of Jeff Dean's "deep-learn all the cloud things!" thesis: https://www.gwern.net/Tool-AI#dean-2017

A cloud stack, from OS kernel settings to TCP/IP to database query optimizers to video codec settings to compiler settings, is made of thousands upon thousands of toggleable options, each of which is usually left at the default because no one on earth understands more than a small fraction of them, much less how to set them all appropriately for each task end-to-end. It's blackboxes on top of blackboxes all the way down. Collectively, inferior options could be giving up an incredible amount of performance. As has been demonstrated by experts in performance tuning, depending on how pessimal the defaults are, you could easily gain orders of magnitude performance by setting them to saner settings, much less truly optimal settings - these sorts of posts turn up routinely on HN, and even in very well-tuned cloud stacks, you have to figure that gains like >10% should be possible.

MuZero here shows that it can work for one piece of the stack. And MuZero is, by design, an insanely general architecture: handles two-player games like chess/Go & handles one-player like ALE, handles continuous action spaces (Sampled-MuZero), reasonably sample-efficient (because it learns an environment model, so using that more is MuZero-Reanalyzed), handles hidden information games against adversaries (Player of Games), and now OP shows self-play in a weird setting. (It still requires problem-specific input layers but even that can be lifted if you're willing to pay for Perceiver inputs which do arbitrary input modalities.)

So you can see the potential here for doing much more of cloud operations (beyond current applications like datacenter cooling control) with DRL agents. Plunk down a MuZero on your entire stack and assign it the goal of optimizing end-to-end for each specific task - DRL is expensive, but cloud-scale is even more so. Needless to say, don't expect any released checkpoints on Github...
QKD relies on many underlying assumptions, which researchers conveniently sweep under the rug while continuing to build castles ever higher on the theoretically "perfect" but insecure foundation. It is unclear how the underlying implementation for QKD can be made as secure as modern silicon countermeasures are against attacks like fault injection.

A while back, I summarized all the ways I could think of where the layer under QKD fall apart. I think the list is still valid:

How Google Maps is tracking the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Honest question, how is it possible to be viable as a business and offer your code as MPL (Convoy) or MIT (Svix)? I love open source but I would expect a stronger license like GPL to be used, why did we settle on very permissive license as the default? I get the brand is protected but is that really enough? I am legit curious to hear the founders' take on that.
Quizzing on trivia, especially minutia that can be looked up and fully understood in less than 2 minutes, seems like a waste of time to me on the interviewer's part.

I also find it strange to pick apart and quiz on the messy output of Twitter's frontend frameworks, compilers/transpilers, minifiers, bundlers, etc. It's akin to feeding a binary or some bytecode into a decompiler and quizzing on its output.
Wow, this seems like it could be bigger than Auto-Tune. I wonder if we'll reach a point where artists license a DDSP model of their instrument or voice, rather than perform directly.
Then we should not have been encouraging Ukraine the way we have if we knew we didn't have their back. It really was not fair of us (the USA).
Then the left side and the right side of their balance sheet will not add up to the same value
We didn't have the capacity to produce 300K warplanes in 1939 either, but we did it by 1945. It's just excuses for those with power to as little as possible.
> I wouldn't say there have been very many of them, and what would you say in a similar situation?

I don't think it takes many to cause domestic issues. Generally captured American soldiers, who aren't conscripts, hold the line. There are noteworthy exceptions like John Walker Lindh which caused a lot of controversy domestically. It's worth noting that seeing lots of dead conscript soldiers coming home in coffins helped bring an end to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and there's a serious quagmire risk here for Russia.

> To be clear, I am 100% behind Ukraine.

Same.
So he's not that selfless hero after all and his actions are motivated by personal safety? Is this what you're suggesting?
Russian here. Most comments here are pure nonsense. The only reason Facebook risks getting blocked is because in Russia it is predominantly used by dissidents and people in opposition to Putin's regime. It doesn't block groups, events, etc at Kremlin's behest. So it should be blocked.

Upd: many commenters here clearly misread my comment, or maybe it's my poor English. "It should be blocked" means that it is in Putin's interest to block it, but better under some pretext. I am personally in a very sharp opposition to Putin's criminal syndicate.
No solution but I am similar. I don't retain anything when trying to learn languages.
Does the US follow these rules in terms of action in places like Syria (almost certainly CIA providing weapons) Libya, Iraq, Vietnam etc? I'm actually kind of curious to see how the US measures up on these rules.

I thought the US had an interest in things like regime change rather than some of the stability focuses others have had.
"making users pay for digital items of artificial scarcity is our business model!"
He didn’t said he believed that I think. They do have an independent fact checker. Wether that’s effective or makes sense is another question.
Example:

- Exist 2 ways to do macros.

- Exist different ways to annotate traits (impl and the long way)

- Alias work, but not everywhere

- The module system is too complicated

- You have pub and pub(crate). The second must have been the default for types on a crate because the way how things are because modules

- The trait system is full of "but" that make it not as simple to use in practice (ej: Is too common traits require extra work because this or that rule in THIS case must be appeased, and also, is where is more obvious things are in disconnect with the rest of the lang)

This as the most obvious.
