Doesn't the EU have a mutual defense treaty as strong as NATO? That was my understanding. They'd be obligated to help militarily.
> He repeatedly was warning the West about the balance of power being skewed in their favor

He had the previous US president wrapped around his finger, and he was able to take Crimea with barely any effort. How is the balance of power skewed in favor of the West?
Ask HN: As someone living in Russia, how can I prepare for Internet shutdowns?
I'm currently living in Moscow. It looks like the government will soon very heavily crack down on any uncontrolled ways to get information. This might include blocking of websites, shutdowns of VPNs and outright Internet shutdown.

What can I do to prepare for this and still have access to the Internet? If you have any relevant experience from similar situations, please share!
Don't care, just give me both. Since I've never been to London Ohio I don't think it will be a problem.
It failed because the US diplomats were too ignorant to take Putin's "red line" demands (Ukraine never getting into NATO) seriously and they discarded any possibility for immediate negotiations on that matter too eagerly.
It's not just Lukashenko though: Kadyrov is another example. It appears Putin has learnt from history of the Russian empire that it cannot survive with a single ruler doing ethnic cleansing from above (like the Empire did with the jews before 1917 or the USSR did with muslims).

So yes Putin has wet dreams about reuniting all territories from the ex-Empire or ex-USSR, but as you pointed out he certainly needs "local men" (strong/macho/authoritarian type) to rule the local communities before an uprising occurs as is the logical conclusion of any colonial occupation.
I would gladly pay for YouTube Premium if they didn't bundle it with YouTube Music which I have no plans for using.

I would also gladly pay for YouTube Premium if they used purchase power parity matching. 12$/10€ for a digital content delivery service is not the same for the US, UK or Croatia.

If it cost 5€ monthly for YouTube Premium without YouTube Music, I'd be fine with that.
> Systems that try to get rid off the "files & folders" abstraction of a file system tend to have much worse usability,

IMHO it's because those systems just simplify, but don't move very deep in the space they opened up. If you don't offer power, then it's irrelevant which system you offer, they will all suck fast.

> Every app has its own way to store and retrieve data, there's almost zero interoperability and it's super painful to copy, paste and move stuff around (I know it has gotten better but it's still so much worse than on any desktop OS).

Which is kind of a surprise, I would think Apple would be interested to unify that space and offer a good user experience.

> Right now it's easy to move files between different systems, e.g. from Mac to Windows or Linux. If file systems become meta-data management databases that will become much more difficult.

Theoretically, it could be solved by using a meta-file-container. Something like a tar-container, which contains a file for meta-data and the actual content. We have this with specialized container-formats in media and office-filetypes. Making a universal format which would work equally well for any kind of file type could solve this problem of interoperability. This would even open up ways to improve files without changing them directly. Like adding subtitles or notes to a file, by just adding it to the container, not the file itself.
These are yearly totals, the variations are limited, and more importantly irrelevant to the point.
Any of the larger Matias keyboards. I love my Matias mini with quiet clicks. It took a couple of days to get used to, but I don't think I will ever look elsewhere. If you want actually tactile switches stear clear of Mx brown.

The quiet clicks have had some reliability issues. The clickies have not.

If you like linear switches, maybe look on any of the contactless keyboards. Wooting, razer huntsman, varmilos electrocapacitive, or steelseries. Those will be much nicer feeling than something like a contact-based linear switch.
For browsers that don't natively support IPFS yes.
I think one issue is that market wages (or reasonably higher than market ones) for developers are so low that good talent will simply not be interested in your offer, especially if you are a small company (in which case you can at least play the "job security" card, which I think has a lot of weight here).

Setting up shop or working as a freelancer just pays so much better.
Might need more words on the page. Mine came up and it was a lamp and telling me to click with question marks.

No indication of how or why this has anything to do with websockets. :(

The lamp looks nice though.

I don't understand this claim. USA army occupied Afghanistan, organized corruption (oh sorry "privatization of public services") for years and paid masses of informants and mercenaries and still had to stop occupying Afghanistan. Just like France was kicked from Algeria over 50 years ago after countless massacres.

Not that i'm happy with the Taliban regime now that the USA are gone, but this wave of reaction is the logical aftermath of USA policy. Turns out not killing/oppressing millions of people and not destroying their public services could have a much better outcome in terms of "progressive politics".
It involves code editing, which is hard to do on a small screen.
I guess that's your one reason to stay on YouTube, since they have an automated transcription service. You may know this already, but in case you don't, just click the three dots below the video to the right, and then click "Open transcript." AFAIK not all videos are transcribed, though, so this might be a little hit-or-miss.
Scalapay divides a purchase into N smaller installments, with no fees.

How are they going to make money?
Sure, but then the poster said that we can't allocate labor to this specific goal without taking it away from that specific goal. Why would that be true? Energy supply takes a minuscule fraction of our total labor, and nothing stops us from supporting fusion without unsupporting solar.

Or am I missing something?
Yeah, you can see the downside in the demo video. When he shows off the search for pictures, there's a random mixture of actual photos and things like toolbar icons and whatnot. Sure, you could fix this by tagging everything and doing a more complex search, but that sounds like a lot of work and discipline, more than eg the guy doing the demo was willing to put into it.

Who says we can't? Money is a social construct.
I tried the Octordle one and found it easy enough but awkward to play. Quordle seems like the winning combo. The way I've found to keep Quordle really interesting is trying to win in six moves as many times as possible (got it nine times so far), and then trying to finish in seven more times than nine. That's made the Practice Mode "sticky" for me.

What you've written is very different from the knee-jerk "rank amateur" dimissal that added no value to HN which I was replying to.
This doesn't look much different from the US attacking Iraq or Yugoslavia. All these attacks have serious reasons behind them (and those reasons are not protecting poor children as mass media would tell you).
You seem to have misread my comment. There is research claiming that videos are bad for babies. (!) Then it makes no difference if they're calmed down during diaper change. Valium is also calming, but most people are recommended to stay off it.
Profit is definitely their primary motivation.

Chinese companies are a bit nationalist, and they definitely have some internal actors from the CCP there for purposes of oversight, and in a pinch can very easily have their arms twisted - but - they are just companies wanting to make money really.

Tencent is just Tencent. They will follow internal censorship laws, but it's likely just a matter of moderation much the way FB does it, but with different parameters, and taking some direction from the state. My guess is that for the most part Chinese companies are fine with it. For products they control outside the country my estimation is that it's censored in a completely different way, much more liberally, but some things might get scrubbed.

Of course investing in a company is different than owning it (i.e. >50%) and it's very different if it's based in China vs. a European company.

China has huge trade surplus. What this means, is that we send them USD/EUR for 'stuff'.

Eventually, they have to use those USD/EUR for 'something'. What are they going to buy? Well - stocks, real estate, companies etc..

It's actually rational for EU/USD to sell them things at hugely inflated price tags, it's a nice way to bring the cash back in on good terms.

If they are cash-flush, then they might just be looking to protect their money as much as anything.

In most cases, it's unlikely that having a Chinese investor will make a huge difference in terms of anything happening out of China. It's unlikely the could or would make censorship demands on anything happening outside of China, that said, if they gain control, it's a bit of a different story.
folders are more convenient because they are part of the file system. there is no ls by tag or even a gui filemanager that shows files by tag. that's one reason why tags need to be part of the filesystem, because if they are not, then most filemanagers would not support them.

and technically, file extensions are kind of like tags. and it's really ugly that they are in the filename string. that messes up a lot of things. it would be better if they were proper tags independent of the name. so you can rename a file without changing the tags, similar to the problem with EXIF.

or more importantly, you could reference a file without that reference depending on the tags of the file. your jpg/jpeg example is also a problem caused by this situation. it would go away with proper tags
So… Anything to say to this now?
Yes this this this this.

It's not NATO -> nuclear war, but it can head that way though. NATO is currently desperately trying to not get into a limited-scale shooting war with Russia, because that's an escalation game which then depends on the other side recognizing the scope of the conflict.
Homeschooling In India – Experience of 9 years of homeschooling [audio]
> “Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire.”

He claims that without any proof. This maybe would have been true in the 19th century given the technologies for war and power at that time.

But we have the 21st century now. Why should the Ukraine be so important? Why could Russia not be an empire without Ukraine? Russia is the biggest country with the most sources of raw materials. It has the most nuclear weapons. It has a huge fleet. It is feared by all of its neighbors.

But that all doesn't matter nowadays. Because if you want to be a world power in 21st century what you need is a huge economy. And Russias GDP is as big as Italy. But invading Ukraine wouldn't help Russia to increase its GDP.

And that is why what Zbigniew Brzezinsk writes is outdated nonsense. Everyone who believes that still lives in the 19th century.
Molten salt reactors inherently don't. But you can burn up higher actinides resulting in waste that only needs to be stored a few 100 years and pose very little danger even in the most absurd scenarios.

You don't need to separate all the different parts. You reprocess our old waste into fuel for modern reactors. In those reactors higher actinides will be burned up. And the resulting output does not have higher actinides and only needs to be stored as long.

Moltex Energy is currently engaged with the Canadian regulator for such a facility, the process is called WATSS. Doing this is actually cheaper then the deep storage storage facilities proposed in many countries. Sadly because of political bullshit reprocessing has been made illegal in the US.

Such things would have been doable decades ago, and the money for it is already on bank accounts in most countries. But politician force the 'dig a hole for everything' solutions instead.

> Plus a fusion plant can be very quick to start and shutdown or throttle down which is very useful for base load.

Next generation fusion would also be very reactive to changes. Far more then traditional.

But the reality is you actually want to run full power as much as you can, no matter if fission or fusion.

I'd say actually checking them is already a basic expert move. Most people don't even know about geotags, and certain groups don't even care.
Wow this is brutal but feels like it's correct. What a frightening state of affairs.

Is the construction industry really so corrupt? Is government and industry unaware or unwilling/unable to detect this earlier and stop it?
Semi related, but wondering what role FAANG will play during the sanctions. A russian friend of mine told me google pay/apple pay were very common and preferred ways of payment in russia. Banning those in addition to exclusion from SWIFT would have pretty wide spread consequences for their citizens.

If you are an extremely well experienced software engineer you only care about learning new capabilities. This could include learning new languages but will most certainly not include frameworks.

Learning new capabilities implies things like transmission, storage, performance, distribution. New languages may unlock new capabilities your current language does not. To a far lesser extent this may include learning some new tool.

Frameworks are something you learn on the job to gel with a team or something you learn to be hired. Typically frameworks are an abstraction so that groups of people can execute against a common API, but otherwise are things you could do without faster and leaner as an individual.
You can train your body to incredible lengths. I became much more sporty some 12-13 years ago. In the beginning, if I did some longer hike or skitour (3+hours with 1000+ altitude difference), I got pounding headache no matter how much water I drank. I was used to eating 3x per days too.

Rewind few years, doing many more (mostly mountain-related) sports/activities but cca 6x/week, I can wake up on rest day and go on without eating easily till evening without even noticing much difference, water/tea is enough. No headaches after sports unless I do something too intense or its too hot and I completely dehydrate myself. I still eat before some proper effort, didn't ever try doing them on empty stomach.

A friend of mine did interesting effort on his own - he is into half marathons and marathons, and learned his body to not rely on carbs but purely fat. So unlike many others in the races, he isn't replenishing quick sugars but just fat. He enjoys no glycemic swings but rather flat levels of energy
Zuckerberg: Building for the Metaverse with AI [video]
In Danish (probably other norse languages too) there is "sulten" which means hungry and "lækkersulten" which translates to delicious-hungry, for when I feel a craving for something in particular.

It's a good point that explicitly distinguishing them might help. If I feel hungry, I might consciously stop and assess whether I'm legitimately hungry or only delicious-hungry.
A friend of mine his wife is Russian ( her mom is from Ukraine too)

I asked and nobody was rude against her because of her nationality here ( she's a nurse), so that's good news.

She did mention propaganda in Russia is in full force.

What consequences. That you need a parking lot full of nuclear waste that just basically stands there and does nothing? Can we not spare a single tennis court sized storage facility?

What are the consequences you are talking about?

We are not talking about some absurd 300000 year storage facility build into the earths core. That is not needed.

Guaranteeing something for 100 years is far easier then for 300000 years. And it can be easily monitored, if one location for some reason is a an issue after 100 years, just move it to another location.
China is at ~1.4 billion people, not even close to "most of the rest of the world". There are about 7.9 billion people alive atm, so that would make more than 80% of the worlds' population being outside China.
> I don't know a single person who has _never_ been stopped by police.

I imagine you probably are acquainted with such people but you merely don't know this fact about them... unless I guess you ask "have you ever been stopped by police?" every time you introduce yourself to someone.
The article and everyone in this discussion is talking about photo tagging and such.

What I want to know is how configuration management, source code organization, build systems, packaging systems, and other experts tools will work without a hierarchical filesystem.

If you're designing a camera application, sure, maybe you don't need a hierarchical filesystem if you have other means of organization and discovery. But who's going to be able to code that camera app in the first place? And when "it" is installed, what exactly happens?
There is the option to refuse their membership.
Satellite internet maybe? Also, you can try to create a private vpn server on a cloud resource in Europe or elsewhere outside of Russia. Private VPNs might not be affected. Alternatively, it could be only a proxy with encripted connection that will block curious scans.

Finally, check the anti-censorship tech of Tor. They have something for places like Iran an China that have heavy firewalls and that helps circumvent them.
I fail to see how this is true at all.

We were in a comfy peaceful era and yet we saw rise of extremism, neo nazis in germany, in the US even. Good times allow for forgetting the extent of what reality can be and then people start to have weird ideas when small problems come, only to react in shallow reflexes like nationalism, and war.

I may be dumb but I assumed people who saw wars just didn't want any of that anymore and would actually know what 'right value' means, not just school books or worse .. network propaganda.

Now sure, it can all be twisted, people can be brainwashed during and after war, there can be bad wounds for long too.

Well, the problem is even worse in EU.

Germany makes deals with Russia to get their gas (NS1 and NS2) and only recently they declined NS2.

Basically we (EU) are giving Russia money to create army, instead of ditching their gas, oil etc. and buying one from Scandinavia and US (now when Russian gas prices are higher than the ones form the mentioned countries). And destroying NS1 and 2.
You don't sound mean, rather, I would appreciate enlightenment. I'm familiar with some of them, such as the Hebrews (I'm a Hebrew), Greeks (studied a bit, but not in an academic setting), Ahmans (which I call Persians for a modern audience), but I don't pretend to be an expert.

I called them nations because they were a people of a common race. For instance, the ancient Greeks have described the features of the Perisans whom they fought at Marathon - and from this description it is clear that a Greek could identify another person as Greek or Persian. Hence, they are different nations. And even today the Ethiopians retain very distinct features. My country (Israel) has many Ethiopians, I believe that we are the only Western nation to welcome African immigrants as equals. And would any Westerner argue that the Chinese have physical features distinct from those with European heritage? Does that not qualify - for you - as a different race?

If you are referring to the Proto-Indo-Iranian ancestors, then I counter that their descendants have diverged.

If you meant something else, I am always grateful for corrections or enlightenment.
Here's a meta-analysis with some actual data from researchers: https://www.jscimedcentral.com/SportsMedicine/sportsmedicine...

The research seems to show that if you're trying to be muscular, CR is probably not going to help you. However, CR actually has some positive effects on exercise performance and outcomes for activities that don't revolve around raw strength. Unfortunately, there's very little research on CR vs. strength training in people who are not elderly and not overweight. I share your frustration there - so much of the hype around CR comes from it being an easy solution for people who are not already physically fit.
I guess here's where we get into subjective territory :) But I think the moral downfall interpretation is supported by one of the final scenes where he lied to his wife about not having killed his sister's husband.

Funny you should take this example. Unless you're building a skyscraper, for 1-2 floors clay is plenty good: in particular when mixed with wheat or other fibrous bodies (straw type), it's how many traditional houses have been built, and has many interesting properties:

- sourced from local material (use a different type of clay or straw if you need), no need for chemicals or for sand imports from depleted beaches on the other side of the world
- recyclable to almost infinity (need a bigger/better house? just tear it down and reuse the materials)
- cool in summer, warm in winter if you design it well
- lasts for decades if your structure is designed well: i'm not aware of really old examples but it would be a surprise if the structure outlives us all (does someone have resources on this topic?)

So turns out your example was more interesting and less absurd than you originally thought. Just like server-side rendering uses an order of magnitude less resources (for n clients it's O(1) with caching, whereas client-side rendering is O(n)), it turns out clay is the perfect material to use an order of magnitude (or even more orders?) less resources to build your house than if you used concrete source from various polluting industries and endangered sand deposits.
