Probably yes, but unlike a credit/debit card or a check, there's no administrative process to do so. Which means you'd need to go through courts and the expense of courts will dissuade many from filing claims.

He also wrote 5000 words long essay last year how Ukraine shouldn't really exist and is really just a part of Russia and in his long rant announcing the invasion barely mentioned NATO at all.

But sure, all that NATO name dropping surely is the reason for this aggression on a sovereign nation.

is quite a starting point to make the rest of your points.

Your example of Ukraine is insightful and valid, but I imagine crypto fans and opponents alike would rather we not descend globally into a state of permanent war, where crypto would presumably be the only tool available to transact.
Why not just conserve nature instead of putting it in a museum? "Solutions" like that make me feel doomed.

Tangential question, but I figure the people who might know the answer would be in this thread.

Two days ago, there was news about two II-76s being shot down[1]. A US senator (Rubio) even seemed to imply it[2]. Since then, I haven't seen anything about it. Is there any indication that this did/didn't happen?

Adding to this with some applicable guidance whether it's Linux or BSD.

The most secure OS would be one where you have an understanding of all it's security configuration options, have those things configured, and verify that configuration on a regular basis. With Unix-like operating systems you have the advantage of many of these things being controlled via text-based files, so you can version-control these and detect deviations of the configuration.

It also worth mentioning that the most secure OS would be supported by a network architecture that isolates it reasonably well. Firewalled subnets using the concept of Zero Trust are valuable.

On the application side, ensure whatever is running on these servers is minimal. Complexity can mean vulnerability, whether it be from the application itself or it's build dependencies. Minimalism is another strength Unix-like operating systems can deliver.

For CS, it was SICP. I read it in high school (accompanied with the lecture series[0]) and it lead to me learning about functional and logic programming, compilation, algorithms and data structures and more. It was more than enough to prepare myself for university, and even in my third year some topics have not been covered to the depth they are in SICP!

For math, it was Gödel, Escher, Bach. I was into mathematics in high school as
well, but did not have a proper teacher at the time so I was stuck on trying to absorb some of the more technical undergraduate texts in abstract algebra. However, GEB was at the right level and had a nice layman explanation of the 2nd incompleteness theorem, along with beautiful exposition into philosophy, computer science, math, art, music and cognition. I enjoyed it so much I even wrote a compiler for the programming language in the book to C.[1] The exposition on formal reasoning also got me started in learning the Coq theorem prover, which I continue to use to this day.

Tannenbaum - all his text books are good but my favourite was the one on computer architecture. I read it cover to cover like a novel. It was fun to read and didn't feel like effort (mostly anyway).
I think it has been clearly stated by several leaders including Biden that nobody expects the sanctions to have an effect soon.

You are right though, it's early still and who knows what will happen.
I get your point, and different people have different things they are comfortable with. Some of that also depends on your environment, in my case I've had this script running nightly backups across hundreds of machines over a dozen years. Sending hundreds of e-mails a day into my inbox isn't going to be workable. But if you have one or two machines, maybe it is. I still don't think so, but again different people.

Things I have done to ensure reliability (again, this core script has been running for a dozen or more years):

- Nagios monitoring of backups: An active check from a monitoring server that alerts if no recent successful backups.

- "paper path" monitoring of e-mail: Send an e-mail to an external mailbox and have an active check in Nagios that reports if it has not seen an e-mail recently.

- With hundreds of machines, we were in the management interface enough (not daily, but at least monthly) that we would tend to notice before TOO long if something was out of whack.

- Regular backup audits: We would perform quarterly backup audits of the important machines, we had a whole workflow for those, which would also give us confidence that the backups were running as expected and that if something got out of whack it didn't go too long. Many of these depend on your definition of "too long".

As far as "zfs send", I totally agree. However, even today I have very few machines other than my backup machines that are running ZFS, so that's not really an option for these backups.
Hmm I'm looking for an algebra/trig book, curious, that looks more like a book for memorizing stuff than for understanding things? 128 pages seem to little for those three subjects.
Who cannot do the same? We have a loan to pay for the panels, but the monthly payment for the loan is quite a bit cheaper than what we ever paid for our monthly electric bill in the past years before getting panels.
Not directly related to the call for an international IT army, but one thing I can’t wrap my head around with Ukraine’s call for hackers is how can they coordinate anything? Presumably Russian state aligned hackers are out there, pretending to be white hats available to help, “oh yea, let us help setup your firewall.”

What’s the game plan? To clarify, not saying it’s a bad idea, just that I don’t understand how it is supposed to work
They are mostly doing it to themselves. People don't want to start businesses and families in a country with a mafia government that can take away or destroy what they have built at any time.
The future is never certain. There are times when it feels less uncertain. But that's generally an illusion, a false sense of security. Past performance is not guarantee of future (returns).

There's almost no point in playing a casino today. Nearly everything is digital and biased towards the house, even moreso than straight probabilities would tell you. If you ever do win big, "payouts are void in the event of machine malfunction".
It just seems odd that there would be identification numbers for a U.S. agency included in a data dump of a foreign military.
Apologies if this might sound ignorant, but what is the purpose of such a complex setup. If it's to build a personal cloud host, why go through all the trouble of setting this up instead of just using AWS. I've been working as a web dev (flask + vue) for nearly 4 years now and have never come across any of this in my day job. While reading the article, I barely understood how all of these technologies (Ansible, Nomad, Tailscale, etc) work together. And, I'm now realising that it's high time I learn all these modern technologies and update myself.

What would be the best place to learn all of this. While the Ansible docs seem like a good place to start, what I'm really looking for is how do I identify when I would need to use any of these technologies. At what point in the development cycle starting from a basic web backend would I need to consider using these technologies. Any pointers to some good resources to learn all this would be very much appreciated.

Yes, true, but the article discusses how physical presence of the device itself reassures its owner, and conversely how upsetting it can be for the owner to be without their device. Part of that reassurance may come from, as you say, having a window into the entire wealth of human knowledge, or from having a connection to friends and family, etc.

ZeroTier and Tailscale, yes, maybe. Nebula, as I understand it, no... it's a fully Open Source project, the mesh is P2P, and the "lighhouse nodes" which serve as tunnel end-point directories, you run yourself as well. There is no "vendor" involved.
It's like you didn't read a single word...

Where is the answer to the problem? Signals are carried in codes, and codes can be more or less efficient at conveying information. How does a sample from a biased population provide any information about the true mean? How would offering only Cheez-its and Gatorade tell you about consumer desires for eggplant?

Many accuse their fellow humans of degeneracy but that narrative only serves to obfuscate the primary role of corporations, for which we can make much stronger accusations of degeneracy.

Dear reader, observe the classically crypto-fascist rhetoric with its complete lack of self-reflection and deflection via essentially empty-headed, debate-bro tactics.
Are their identification codes used as a shitty master password to their life too?

Russia has its own social security system, and it also uses numbers for identification.

Table headers are quite suspect, there is a column named "state, federal territory, etc". In Russian "state" refers exclusively to US states or Micronesia states, and "federal territory" refers exclusively to German feredal states.

Perhaps a stealthy way to identify who's under-reporting their gains? If your payment comes in through crypto it gets flagged for extra scrutiny, so if they don't see a sufficient reporting of where the crypto came from, they prioritize you for an audit.

Please be careful here. Many people on this forum are citizens of countries that are intentionally not taking direct action in this war. Remember - as a citizen of a country, you represent your country on the international stage. Diplomatic relations between countries is serious, important business involving massive forces (often far more important than the lives or freedoms of an individual) - many lives have been ruined because they underestimated how their actions on foreign soil would be perceived/received differently due to their nationality.

I don't know specifically what risks are involved here - if there is anyone with deeper expertise on the topic, it would be great for them to chime in. If there is anyone with contacts in the State Department, it would be great to hear their stance on it.

Be very thoughtful about getting directly involved in foreign wars that your country does not want to be involved in.
These people pay the price for the first world standards of living. This is truly sad and despicable. There should really be a lot of soul searching going on right now but who is really willing to give up on immediate comforts and consumerism? Very few.

Bullshit. There is nothing strategical about this piece of land. Germans needed to annex this because they needed access to oil because they really were running low of it. Russia has much more natural resources than in this small area.

Never had any problems with IKEA furniture. Yes, they're cheap, but honestly what do I expect from a €30 bookcase? I have four LAIVAs, two filled with books and two with electronic parts drawers and they're perfect for size constrained rooms. Their office chairs are good albeit cheap, although harder suspensions for bigfoot-sized humans like me would be welcome. Their branded batteries, USB chargers/power supplies and light bulbs are also surprisingly very good and durable for the price, and some of the food is delicious (don't miss the horseradish "sas peparrot" sauce with their meatballs).
The only moment I deeply hated them was when they sent a cease and desist letter to the owner of ikeahackers.net, a site where people send their mods of IKEA furniture, therefore it helps sales, but the stupidity of copyright lawyers never ceases to amaze us. Luckily they reached an agreement, and the site is still active.

About the tricks, I'm sure everyone employs some; from grocery stores keeping more expensive stuff at easier to reach heights to others promoting a few products at discounted price while most of the others are inflated, so one gets there and buys everything, including more expensive ones, anyway because they know that driving to another store would be a much bigger nuisance.
I wish there was a book on how to defend ourselves against all those marketing tactics, that is, one written for common people, not for salesmen.
I'm afraid you don't understand how nebula works. A nebula cluster is fully self-contained, you are responsible for distribution of your own certs and hosting of your own lighthouse instances, there is no phoning home to any outside parties.

This is why I am confused. It just seems so absurdly incompetent that I can’t quite believe it is all true.

I realise that stupid things happen during war, but it’s only a few days in and surely this is the kind of thing they train and plan for.
"That's a funny example."

It's what the article and book are clearly about, it's not just a random example I invented.

"Important things are almost never far away, so if the fight is there, it's almost never important."

Can you explain your point? Are you saying that important differences are just excuses?
The title says almost exactly what the article title says, I’m not going to add words
I’ve been thinking of splitting the difference and looking at news once a week. I guess that’s like the traditional Sunday newspaper.

Now I think it needs to allow for exceptions for events like now with Russia invading Ukraine.
If anyone is interested in accounts of smaller guerrilla like forces ending up victorious over much stronger/larger armies.

The best modern and most recent example is the Hezbollah Israeli war in 2006 in Lebanon.

This is a US review of why hezbollah succeeded in its goals against israel and how they were able to do so.

I haven’t finished reading it yet but its very interesting. For example, they had hundreds of autonomous cells working with no single point of failure.

“Nearly 600 separate ammunition and weapons bunkers were strategically placed in the region south of the Litani. For security reasons, no single commander knew the location of each bunker and each distinct Hezbollah militia unit was assigned access to three bunkers only—a primary munitions bunker and two reserve bunkers, in case the primary bunker was destroyed.”

It also mentions they were taught and learned from North Korean war and Iran obviously.

This is not to glorify them, but if you read the review you can obviously see that what they achieved demands respect. As in respect for your adversaries strength.
Yeah he said that he wanted to "denazify" the place too which is bollocks as well. These were both pretexts. He probably believes the crap about them being brothers but it wouldnt be enough to trigger an invasion.

NATO as a threat is very real, though. It is enough.

Thanks, your sqlite-utils and other libraries have been very helpful.
Just answer the question. If you can't then perhaps you should admit you're arguing about your ideas rather than specific facts. Nuances actually matter here. You said a government has a right to reduce my freedom to participate in a certain system. I'm asking you to cite it so we can speak about something real instead of following a path that leads very clearly to imprisonment of those with whom the buck actually stops (the citizens).
Yes, when there is a heightened risk of nuclear contamination in Europe because of a stray rocket in a war zone, we should tune out instead.
Fair; the rule itself doesn't necessarily rely on an ontology though, as I understand it.

(I'd interpret it as: spend time to understand the other through their own experience -- and when you feel that you have sufficient confidence in their preferences, you may test that by interacting in a way that you believe they would like, ideally with positive consequences for both of you -- but be prepared to reconsider and adjust your mental model if negative consequences occur for either party)

(that's not quite as catchy, though)
Exactly the text in OP.

Ukraine made some shifty and tenuous alliances with Neo-Nazi militias to expand their ranks. Obviously they're not needed anymore since the entire population is conscripting themselves, so their influence is greatly reduced. I think the deal was made to protect the eastern border but either it didn't work or the Nazis gave up quickly in defense of Ukraine.
