Ok, I need to be clear here: this is absolutely not saying an app can access the browsing history in safari, nor can it access the browsing history of any app.

It can very obviously record your browsing history in that app. If it sends that data to its home servers, then the app would have to declare that it collected "browsing history".

"Information about the content you have viewed that is not part of the app, such as websites."

that is it can record things other than you interacting with buttons in the app, or what type of music you're listening to, etc. Browsing history gets called at explicitly here because people using non-chrome browsers expect browsing history to be private.
I would not say it's common: I'm a native (American) English speaker and I've never heard the word before! I would just guess it's some kind of flavored water before reading this thread.
Thankfully, that’s not on the cards. His whole argument around Ukraine is to “liberate” ethnic Russians, not kill them all, and at this point, his own army. Even Russian propaganda would have a hard time with that.
Glad you mentioned the goalpost moving. If we come back to whether wars of aggression are justified or not. Does a happy outcome justify them?

One interesting example here is in the 80's people could say "South Korea might be a brutal military dictatorship, but it is doing well economically, and therefore that justifies the Korean war"

Which is interesting of course, because in the 1960's, when North Korea was ahead economically, I'm sure North Koreans had the same post-hoc justification.

And if you look in to how US support for the Ba'ath party was justified... Strikingly similar but with the added dimension of US security interests vis a vis maintaining or restoring the Iranian dictatorship.

That all that brings us full circle to whether the Iranian revolution is justified by having got rid of a regime at similarly torturous as Saddam's.
Seeing how the Russian army is performing so far, it's starting to make more sense why Putin constantly, oddly whips out the nuclear threat (giving off hints of serious insecurity). Turns out it's very revealing as to the state of their military, it can't properly defend itself against NATO and is badly outmatched today.

China has to be seeing this and eyeing some of that sweet Russian border territory for the future.

It seems to be Putin is terrified that just dust kicked up at Chernobyl will contaminate Russia. There was a battle to secure the facility. Ironically all the military vehicles involved stirred up dust causing a 20 fold spike in radiation compared to the typical level. I can't accept that Putin would nuke any European country. If he were to nuke anywhere I think it would be the US far away from Russia.

Edit: but I will add that an insurgent is somebody who is fighting against a legitimately constituted government, which did not exist in Iraq, so technically they are resisters.
With drones, it's hard to know who's even doing the flying...
The warnings issued by Putin to not interfere and the West's "drawing a line in the sand" reminds me a bit of the Cuban missile crisis (though it's Russia who's claiming a free Ukraine weakens their sovereignty. But going back further in time, we've seen that doing nothing (when Hitler invaded Poland) is not diplomacy but rather emboldened him that the world would stand-by and do nothing.
The way a lot of the western news is tilted, the ‘madman with nukes’ line is pretty clear. If Russia hits a nuclear waste storage depot (oops, already happened), or hints at using nukes (well, moving them to Belarus, that already happened) - when does it seem to make sense to ‘intervene’ by marching troops to Moscow? Many folks on the internet clearly already are.

It’s easy for that to get way out of control, very very quickly.
Fans don't improve comfort as much if humidity is high, because the airflow doesn't cause as much evaporative cooling on the skin. So you need a temperature gradient to get a good effect. Attic fans are a good example. The attic tends to get hotter than the outside air when the sun is shining, and the fan helps equalize.
Now in the future chase scenes in a movie where all cars are self driving future machines, the protagonist can leap into a car after the target escapes and scream at the car "FOLLOW THAT MAN!"

- so that trope will live on!
Where has modern China fought though? What battles have they won?
This is correct. Putin has seen Ukraine turn more and more westward. Flirting and thinking about joining the EU and NATO. Which would mean "NATO" (US) troops right over the board and mere hours away form Moscow. Simply unacceptable to Putin.
> the downside is extremely large (nothing polls worse than Americans getting shipped home in boxes, and nothing would make Russia happier than to have actual proof of direct interference.)

I think this goes against everything we know about modern warfare. I'd bet money (1) Zelenskyy is being actively supported/coached by the CIA or MI6 (his PR/propaganda game has been absolutely on point), (2) there are covert-ops teams in Ukraine that are assisting the rag-tag paramilitary and civilian groups with advanced urban warfare tactics (e.g. demolishing bridges, improvised armaments, etc.), and (3) the Kremlin is correct that NATO/US UAVs are relaying detailed Russian troop/ship movements back to Ukranian leadership.
SpaceX did deliver Starlink to Tonga, rural parts of Texas, Chile, and several Indian reservations. Some of those projects were at no cost for limited time, others were discounted.
One of the most annoying effects of modern warfare between developed countries (after deaths, suffering, devastation, etc etc) is that the internet gets filled with all sorts of propaganda crap from both sides. It reaches a point where every day makes me want to turn off the internet like it were April 1 - because you literally cannot trust anyone anymore.

Not a Russian apologist here, but is that the worst outcome? It does appear that there is some separatist movement in the disputed territories, right? In the spirit of self-determination, why shouldn't they be allowed to cleave off and join Russia? These borders are less than 30 years old, it's not inconceivable that there could be adjustments, right? Just trying to think of a way out of this mess with the fewest casualties.

There are plenty of videos that show similar interactions. The cultural or indoctrination elements don’t exist here like they might do in the Middle East, there is no hate heck there probably is no real animosity either unless they are forced to engage in combat they have no reason to be hostile.

Hostility due to hate has to pre-exist or has to be built over time.

Nationalism aside they are as close to being one people at this point as you can get, you’ll find it very hard to find a Ukrainian family without Russian relatives and vise versa due to the legacy of the USSR.

Basically if a bunch of marines would be deployed and told to take Toronto would get stuck on the way they’ll probably opt to head to the nearest tim hortons too.

And unless they come in guns blazing I don’t think the local population would try to feed them through a wood chipper…
As a confirmation, my friend had this happen to them today as well. Perhaps some sort of A/B test?

The US withdrew from all of those places.

And how is all of this relevant in a discussion about Russia attacking Ukraine, anyway?
>Maybe, however, it’s more likely that Russia’s military is less competently run than previously thought. I wouldn’t be surprised if intel was being shared with Ukraine and weapons definitely are being shared.

There is info that the troops didnt think they were invading. They were either thinking they were protecting against nazi troops or were just training.

This makes sense, if you're planning an invasion, the troops cant be told. They would be security threats.

But at the same time, that lack of knowledge will make them ill prepared at the beginning. But their morale after these massive losses will suffer.

The thing is about proxy spec ops. It's practically 100% they are there but russian troops cant be told. Imagine you're already taking losses, then you get told the world's spec ops are there. You'd shit your pants. You're figthing against farmers and navy seals? You would have to treat every fight like you are fighting navy seals. That would make anyone rout instantly.
Lol, we use 3W LEDs for lighting... And not gonna change that with the electricity prices of today. And my M1 never gets hot and has no fans...
Yes. Long term it's hard to imagine Ukraine holding off Russia. The best hope is that a costly invasion causes Putin enough domestic issues that he is forced into some kind of compromise.
I'm personally a huge fan of carbon capture -> synthetic hydrocarbons + fossil fuel plants, in theory.

Maybe a mix of storage systems will ultimately be the best solution for whatever reasons, but this idea makes so much sense to me because of how it takes advantage of all of our existing infrastructure. Just stand up renewables at existing plants, use spare capacity to power capturing CO2 from the output and/or the air, formulate the captured CO2 into a usable fuel on site, and then swap out the dirty fuel supply for the synthetic one. Now you have the functional equivalent of renewables + batteries — with the advantages that the plants are already built and wired into the grid, battery supply is no longer a bottleneck to rollout, and a lot of jobs are saved. So as a whole, as I see it, this would be faster, easier to plan, less wasteful, and more politically viable, as compared to replacing existing plants with brand new renewable ones that use battery storage.

The same concept applies to vehicles. Our entire infrastructure around gasoline is already sitting and waiting to be used as a massive energy storage system. If carbon could be captured from the air using renewables and centrally processed into a backwards-compatible fuel, it would no longer be necessary to push so heavily for a transition to BEVs. Instead, consumers could choose solely based on the costs and benefits to themselves; maybe gas cars would be less efficient than BEVs (like the equivalent of running an app in Wine or Rosetta), but that would be reflected in the price of the fuel if so, with consumers eating the full cost rather than passing part of it along to society as a negative externality.

Ditto for existing gas-powered stoves, heating, etc.

Additionally, once it's running at scale, this system would naturally lend itself to the next step: transitioning from net-zero emissions to net-negative emissions. Governments could allocate funds toward buying carbon capture fuel and simply sequestering it away for emergencies, at least until atmospheric CO2 drops to pre-industrial levels. Maybe the same method would prove useful for terraforming other planets with inhospitable atmospheres as well.

I'm very interested in seeing how United's experiments with synthetic fuel go for these reasons. Last time I brought this topic up on HN, someone shared Prometheus Fuels with me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_Fuels.

Does anyone know how far along this kind of technology is? What factors have prevented the idea from already being implemented in traditional power plants at scale?
Set the OS to a higher scaling DPI. I use 150%. Then, in the Firefox browser uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" this will allow all websites to display nice legible text. You can also override the colours from grey to black as well if you want to.

For the browser, use a font with a tall x-height; Verdana is great for surfing the web.
That depends on how likely the next couple layers below him are to recognize it, and think that ignoring him is better than not. I don’t know how that would shake out.

An easier, more secure approach, would be

authviassh://authviassh@auth.server/origin.domain/nonce

parsed restrictively

authviassh:\/\/authviassh@(${domain_regex})/(${domain_regex})/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)

prompting the user:

"Would you like to log into origin.domain (via auth.server) using ~/.ssh/your_key?"

and then finally running

ssh "authviassh@auth.server" -- authviassh "origin.domain" "nonce"

with the appropriate additional flags to turn off forwarding et al

Only problem is, only 1 language has decent bindings for ssh interactives server-side, so one is somewhat forced to learn Go to implement this easily

Russia wasn’t scared about Chernobyl they captured it because it was on the way to Kyiv and it was before they started bypassing towns and infrastructure due to their poor combat performance.

This is either going to end with a successful Russian takeover in permanent occupation of ukraine, or Putin will end up like Ceacescu or Mussolini.
I don’t think the Finns feel too bad about that “loss”. They got to keep their independence and 99% of their land against a orders of magnitude more powerful foe. If Ukraine fares as well I’ll be a happy man.
Aren't there NATO countries right next to Ukraine that are just as close to Moscow already? Having Ukraine join NATO would be a bitter pill to swallow, perhaps, but it wouldn't bring NATO any closer than it is today.

And madman though Putin may seem to be, he knows NATO isn't an offensive organization.
While I applaud the decision I am concerned that if we bankrupt the country and it’s people we will create the same animosity prevalent in Germany after WWI, enabling further atrocities with popular support purchased by our decisions.

That said, I don’t have a better solution.
Yes America and most places have banned slavery.

Here's the thing though, we already know Russia has tested cutting themselves off from the rest of the internet
This implies they have their Gateways ready to bounce out all inbound traffic. Leaving the door open only offers the possibility of exporting out malicious traffic.

Though again, I'm very reluctant to take the position of cutting off a country because their leadership is being daft. If anything, it would be prudent to leave the door open so resources can be used by the populace to resist.

Unless, of course, there is actually majority support for this action.

GP and GGP are describing different methods of cooling:

Sitting in a breeze does two things: 1) Allows your sweat to evaporate more quickly, and that evaporation is what causes most of the cooling effect. It's not very effective in high humidity because your sweat won't evaporate very easily. Evaporative coolers / swamp coolers work off this same principle. 2) Sitting in the still indoor air your body heat warms the air around yourself and you end up sitting in that pocket of heat. Just about any airflow stops that, which is why air circulators (fans that are meant to point from one end of a room to another instead of directly on a person) work to make a room feel a bit cooler.

Running the attic fan at night with open windows can have similar effects as above (especially the air circulator), but on top of that it's for pulling in the air from outdoors after it's cooled off at night, and expelling the warmed-up air that accumulates near the ceilings and roof. You'd want to close windows in the morning so the warmed-up air doesn't get pulled in and replace all the cooler air.
Hey, I wish we lived in a perfect world too. I really do, but countries have conflicting interests, and always put their security first. The first step in navigating the real world is understanding that things are not perfect, and trying to understand the motivations of others. Russia has an agenda, NATO has an agenda, and Ukraine has an agenda. The more people are in denial about this fact, the more suffering there will be.

> I am just trying to understand and make sense of why people tacitly support, or even actively participate in them.

That is a huge topic which I cannot hope to explain (or mostly understand). If you look at the shift in US political ideology in the last 5-10 years, particularly during the Trump era (which still continues), it is clear that some masterful manipulation scheme has been operating effectively.

It is clearly possible to groom a significant percentage of a population to believe in absolute lies. This happened in the US after 9/11 (and surely in previous periods); but it was never so effective as it has been lately. The war in Iraq was easy to justify to Americans, even without WMD lies. Hussein was a very bad man by our standards. That alone, of course, does not justify invasion. So other threats must be illustrated, legitimate or not.

But to the point of understanding, you have to realize that people (particularly older ones?) get their information from very few sources; and they communicate with the same few people. It is much easier to sell disinformation and have them repeat it amongst themselves than for younger, more internet-active people.
I heard a pretty good radio program today on NPR. A guy was a foreign exchange student in Russia in the 90's and he went back to interview the lady he lived with, a CPA. She referred to him as her American son, and he to her as his Russian mother. She talks about why she loves Putin. The main topic was on Putin's popularity with Russians.

The TLDR is, Russia was shit before Putin came to power, and now, Russia is not shit for average Russians. Putin gets credit for that.

I definitely get the annoyance. The problem is, a mobile version of this is a very different thing, to the point that it's essentially a completely new app. Displaying a broken interface just to display something isn't helpful, even if I realise it makes it harder on the Show HN audience - I generally check HN on my phone too!

For what it's worth, I'm not looking at user-agents or anything: it's cutting off at the point where the display starts looking awful. If you zoom out enough (plausible on a tablet, less so on a phone), then it will display as intended.
My eyes glazed over after reading that headline. It's about as useful as "We have the BEST coffee in town!" slogans.
