Wow, not really. Putin lies all of the time and he is a bully, but he's not kidding when he says there will be retaliations.

Anything the West does directly they have to expect a response.

That said, I think the west should be using 'distance power'.

There are US Global Hawk drones over Ukraine right now doing surveillance, I think it would be reasonable for the US to launch cruise missiles at Russian targets in Ukraine.

The Russians could make things very difficult for ships in the Black Sea however as one opportunity for retaliation.

We just have to hope that Ukrainians can leverage the Javelins and Stingers to great effect and make it painful enough for Putin that he has no choice to step back, but it's impossible to tell, it's just as likely Russia may be able to just smash through Ukranian defences and leave them to some insurgency skirmishes.

> Anything else beyond profiteering can always be reversed by simply taking back control of the company in the worst case. Ownership is always with the grace of governments.

Lol. You think it would be so simple for Italy to take control of a Chinese owned company? You think they could just do that at the snap of their fingers, with no repercussions?
You're right about the numbers often being expressed in W/kg, because power to weight is more important than power when going uphill. For big climbs (more than half an hour or so), that number is closer to 6W/kg for the best, or maybe a little more (especially if you go back in time a bit for some reason…).

> I don't see a single instance which trustworthy enough to devote my time too

Then you could make one with some friends/colleagues or a local non-profit you're involved with. Peertube is federated software: it encourages deployment in existing human circles rather than global discovery of random stuff.

In education circles, i know Peertube is part of the apps.education.fr suite of free-software apps for teachers, but i don't know of practical use-cases. I assume it's useful to group class levels into separate channels so students can see the videos you showed in class from home.

> I have to create an account for each tube, no thanks.

No you don't. The protocol is federated so from your Mastodon/Peertube account you can follow any Peertube channel on the condition that your instance has not blocked federation with the remote one.

> Clicking "English" still brings up non english listings, furthering the difficulty of using the app.

This is a specific to the project homepage advertising many instances in many languages. But on well-moderated instances the language flags should work just fine, at least for local content... the problem is with admins/submitters not setting language flags properly not with the software itself. The project homepage could definitely use more manual curation, but that would be a full-time job in itself for a project that's developed by a handful people financed by a medium-sized non-profit (Framasoft) and crowdfunding.
You are missing the point which is: your greatest fear will be turned and used against you by your enemy. So the only actual solution is to stand up and confront what you fear. Then you have a fighting chance to avoid that fate.
I must strongly disagree, particularly for DT fusion.

DT fusion reactors would be very heavy. ARC, for example, would have the weight of a couple of US WW2 destroyers. DT fusion delivers its energy as heat. A fission reactor would be far smaller, simpler, cheaper, and more reliable.

You might make the case for advanced fuels, but that likely means you have to get 3He from somewhere. I suspect beamed power will beat even advanced fuel fusion in all missions in the future (a weak prediction as I will not be around to see.)
The Case for Centralized IAM
Why is this downvoted?

It's not just Putin; Russian leaders through most of the 20thC have feared encroachment on their western borders, and have launched invasions and installed puppet regimes to create a buffer. The fact that Ukraine has clearly expressed its desire to join NATO, and NATO's refusal to reject that possibility, means that Russia perceives a threat that their greatest enemy will suddenly appear right on their border.

Georgia also wanted to join NATO; so they got invaded.

The West has played this hand very badly. Instead of declaring that under no circumstances would they send troops to Ukraine, they should have kept silent, or possibly sent a division of ground troops, to be dispersed around the country. They should also have leaned hard on Ukraine to make Donetsk and Luhansk officially autonomous regions. The Donbas would then become Russia's buffer zone, making them feel a bit less paranoid about NATO encroachment.

FWIW, I think NATO should have dismantled itself following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The modern NATO is a global organisation, not restricted to the North Atlantic. It's no longer a mutual defence pact for countries at risk of Russian attack; its main purpose now is simply to intimidate Russia.
I strongly doubt that regular users ever bothered to use Android's file system.
If there are even files involved, most people will just use the app that received or created that file to interact with it. Especially since apps sometimes put files in completely random places, that even I as a technical person have trouble finding.

I wanted to create an example of a use case — you can publish Illustrator documents to the web pretty much instantly. So basically it's just supposed to be cool.
I think it depends where the actual operations were. If most of the staff and physical assets were European based then absolutely. China pretty much already do this with companies operating in China.
Agree 100%. The problem is really, GDP is in one currency. There should be a second metric, adjusted to local buying power, for countries with loads of internal resources, and production capability.

When I look at numbers, for example, which China spends on military spending, and research? Then try to equate it not in USD, but in local buying power?

And also consider many Chinese companies are state owned, including resources (mining), refining, and producing weapons...

Compared to almost everything the US GOV and the West do, being for profit...

It seems to me that China's military budget dwarfs all of NATO, in terms of buying power.

Yet most seem to not consider this. Even in planning.

US air superiority means little, if each US plane costs 40x a Chinese plane, and each US plane is swarmed by 100 planes at once...

Ask HN: Why are the stock markets tanking?
It looks like the outbreak of war has made the stock markets go down quite a bit.

What is the theory behind this?

Is it just because the productivity of Russia and the Ukraine will go down? Or is there some other rationale here?

You are quite simply wrong. Valuation has nothing to do with controlling interest. They are unrelated. A company can have 100 shares, each worth $1, and be valued at $2,000,000,000.

Is there a strong reason to believe that Putin thinks this way? As recently as two days ago, people in my circles were presenting this as an argument for why Putin wouldn’t invade, since it seemed so obvious that Russia would be stronger by claiming to occupy the moral high ground while protecting the separatist regions through deterrence.
It's definitely strongly influenced by Stardew Valley and reuse some of its mechanics and gameplay loops but it does add a lot to them.It's as much a ripoff of it than Rayman is a ripoff of Mario and Half Life a ripoff of Doom. It's very much a sprawling game. It's not surprising it took a long time to develop.
> Would it be good if profit was their only motivation?

yes, because the profit in the future would be priced into this sale today - presumably owned by italian.

This means the funds could be reinvested in a different company today - a new start up perhaps - which creates more profit in the future.

The problem with buying control for more than just profit (or regardless of profit) is that those who are buying control is seeking to control more than just commercial interest. If an unfriendly gov't were to instruct such holders to perform certain tasks, they would comply.

2. Sorry to hear that, I've had a few messages about false positives now, and have pushed a temporary fix (https://github.com/samueldobbie/remarkable-extension/pull/4) which causes false negatives instead. I'm thinking the best approach is to mark them in-place as you suggest, with an option to move them to the trash after they've been marked.

> Because if you want to be a world power in 21st century what you need is a huge economy.

Lol being a world power was never about the economy, it had always been about military strength. Americans might think that they are a superpower because they have one of the largest economies in the world, but that’s being totally small-minded and missing the fact that the reason why their economy is that big in the first place is that the purpose of economies is to power the military with networks, talent, and money.
Indeed, in the local news I could hear the Polish gov is preparing hotels and other accommodation places for people who will flee away from the conflict. I don't know the details but watch out, because there might many hotel owners, whose will want more money than they would usually take for a stay.

Edit: If they would decide leaving their country my very early tip is to download Google Translate with the all locales they know + country where they are. While you can find many people who speak Ukrainian/Russian in central EU countries, it is a priceless help for any foreigner. I had occasion to be a participant of a talk between people, who were writing the phrases on the screen to communicate. Since that moment, I have downloaded Ukrainian locale pack for offline use in Google Translate.
Title has changed to "Russia Invasion of Ukraine Ignites European Security Crisis"

The article goes on to say that it is "triggering one of the worst security crises in Europe since World War II.", which is more restrained and realistic (one of the worst, not the worst... yet) when we remember what happened in Yugoslavia, which was more in the heart of Europe and saw NATO even bombing Serbia. We shall see whether Ukraine develops in something worse, hopefully not.
I'm talking about WWI here and the unintended consequences of US intervention there.

The US getting involved in WWI arguably extended that conflict, the action that made WWII possible, and had many drastic unintended consequences for humanity.

The very short version is this.

* During WWI, there were lots of peace overtures being pushed in Europe because a lot of people were sick of fighting. Because a lot of powerful people were hoping to drag the United States into that relative stalemate, these peace offerings were not taken as seriously as they otherwise would have been.

* Because the US's entrance tilted the scales at the end of WWI so dramatically, Allies were able to enact a little revenge in the Treaty of Versailles and impose punitive and humiliating economic and political measures. Rather than a normal, face-saving peace-treaty, Germany was punished harshly and this tilting of the scales is what led to conditions for the Nazis to take power.

* If Russia's economic and political attention wasn't directed externally at the time, it's likely the Russian Revolution would have failed and the world would have been spared a great deal of grief from Communism.

Obviously this is all alternative history speculation, but there's a strong case to be made that absolute US neutrality in WWI would have ended WWI sooner, not created the economic/social conditions that led to Nazis taking power in Germany, and Communists would have never taken root.
Tesla Cut a Corner in Models for China and Germany
Europe has a quite different mobile telco landscape, and avoided certain issues (like aviation impact) from start instead of pushing into dangerous ground.

This means both a more level playing field and a lot more competition, but also less regulatory issues like USA has with 3.8-3.98GHz spectrum.
KeepassXC has pretty good support for 2FA. I use it for all my TOTP needs. On mobile, I also use Aegis, which is free open source and can backup your TOTPs.
That’s a solid point, but it only needs 3-4 years to build. “$2 billion project, proposed by Pattern Energy Group LP, likely won’t be ready until 2026 at the earliest, if construction starts in 2023.”

Nuclear also takes 4-6 years to build but can take decades to get permission to start.
I don't think there's any validity to this. TOTP is falling out of fashion because it's not phishing-resistant, and, more importantly, because it has poor UX for ordinary users. This "plaintext secret" stuff has nothing to do with it.
> "Creating an account per node is federation working as intended."

That's misinformed. You need an account on an instance where you want to publish videos (although maybe publishing to a federated channel is supported now?), but you only need one account to consume content. In fact, you don't even need to use a Peertube account, as the protocol is based on ActivityPub so most clients (like Mastodon) will be able to receive updates from peertube channels you follow.

> Federation is absolutely not in vogue, and never has been vogue.

email is federated. WWW is federated (src/href). They are two of the most widely-used protocols. So federation is not exactly hyped because most people don't even realize they're using federation, but it's certainly useful and popular.

I just tried to read it and got nothing out of it. The whole thing is above my head, lol.
If your password manager has control of both your password and your "2nd" factor auth, it defeats the purpose of it being a 2nd factor.

You are still protected from your password hash being stolen from the target website, decrypted and then used for log-in, but if password hashes were accessed, potentially a bunch of other stuff that you'd care about is too, so that's a somewhat moot point.

But someone stealing your laptop and getting access to your password manager gets access to your 2FA too. Making it not a "second" anything: it's akin to using two passwords for log in to a single site and keeping them in the same place. Physical separation of the two authentication factors, thus, matters.

That also means that you should not have your password manager on the phone, or at least only have a separate one: ideally, password managers would integrate between desktops and mobile devices to pass short-lived access to passwords for Oauth/OpenID Connect auth instead.

Yeah, bridging convenience and security is a long standing nightmare of a problem to solve. :)

>it is even hard to open your "home directory"

Windows clearly doesn't want people to GET to their home directory, for some reason. That seems goofy. If people don't understand that $user contains the rest of those folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc) they'll never be able to navigate on their own. That's bad.

In a sane tool that features an address bar, clicking any given directory would show, in the address bar, the path to that location. WinExp only rarely does this. If you click on, say, Desktop, it shows you This PC > Desktop, implying a relationship that is incorrect. Getting to your home folder without typing requires you to start with C: and drill down, which is objectively insane.

Even MORE bananas is that if you start at C: and drill down to Desktop, you DO get the correct path in the address bar. But if you then make a WinExp shortcut of that location, it goes back to the other behavior. WTF.
I have to say that, in retrospect, my comment really was too harsh.

Sorry.

You don't even need 2D acceleration for this beyond maybe a basic region blit.

Ever since the Amiga days text rendering at sufficient speed to bitmap displays has been a solved problem, with only scrolling accelerated by the blitter, and resolution and number of bits per pixel has increased at a much slower pace than CPU performance since then.

Most X terminals use one of ~3 different basic approaches to glyph rendering anyway (as shown by redirecting them through xtruss to log the X requests they make), and their throughput still varies from far faster than Kitty (as per rxvt) to far slower, so apart from possibly the fastest ones, most of the x terminals spends most of their time outside of their rendering code.

Privacy invasion in the name of security. TOTP doesn't offer this and is clearly to be discouraged. Unless you accept the privacy invasion, they really don't want you to have an account.

I honestly was wondering about this exact thing for a while -- if you lose your phone, do you use lose access to every account you have, irretrievably? (For that matter, with some apps it wasn't clear to me even what you do if you get a new phone, which everyone does eventually right??) What's the way around all this? I have had trouble getting an answer to this question, so thank you for addressing it somewhat, apparently I'm not totally crazy!

(I am, somewhat shamedly, not yet a user of TOTP 2FA, although I will have to become so soon because of various platfrom and organizational requirements, and am trying to figure it out, and finding it challenging).

What are the options/ways that other TOTP apps handle this better, what are my choices here?
I see a paragraph describing the physicals and one describing the virtuals. Just after that would have been a good place to write something about how the convoy was widely supported by physicals and not by virtuals, and how this difference in support is precisely what suggests a new class divide.

Or not, if there isn't such a wide difference in support.
Everyone already knows that. It's not helpful to say it, you know.
It's just a command-line tool to download audio/video from youtube (and many other sites). You'd need to setup the iPad thing yourself, maybe using something like Plex?

> If he escalates to use nuclear weapons, he's a fool

And we're all be dead. Nukes is basically flipping the board; if I can't win, nobody will.

I mean I hope that won't happen, and that Russia's military collapses in on itself as Russia's access to the international (financial) market is pulled. That'll probably take a while though, it's attrition. It might make the Russian people upset enough to be able to enact change, but not while the police and military are still on Putin's side and happy to stop any protests or whatnot.

> > As it becomes easier to emulate hardware tokens[1], Google may start limiting which ones it accepts.

> Why?

Likely not in the same of security, but as an extra speed bump for automated account creations.

The easier it is to create accounts in automated ways en masse, the more likely that system can be abused.

If you require SMS authentication, you can use that telephone number as a means to limit accounts being generated.

If you can restrict software emulating hardware, you're similarly increasing the barrier to entry to require hardware tokens too, increasing the cost of creating accounts used for fraudulent activity, and reducing the lower hanging fruit (e.g. spam) from being as profitable.
what's your preferred better option(s)? Just hardware keys? (Other comments in this thread seem to be suspicious of hardware keys too!)
