In which sense?

I'm not remembering a nuclear power taking over another democratic country in Europe for a long time.

Or do you mean Asia? Or other regions of the world?

Is it so hypocritic to say no and stand up to a bully who threatens the world with nukes?

I will repeat my previous comment.

Looks like a reasonable response to "freezing" (read, seizing) assets of the Central Bank of Russia and the credit rating downgrades. Not only it plays role of deterrence to some extent (destabilize our markets and your investors will suffer), but also significantly limits amount of liquidity which will be able to leave the Russian market, thus helping to support their currency.

Note that even with the old exchange rate Russia was able to accumulate sizable reserves. Now it not only spends its liquefiable foreign assets, but also introduced requirement for exporters to convert into rubles 80% of their foreign revenue.

He became CEO in 1987, when Intel's stock price was in the range of $0.10-0.20.

This title is clickbait. The proposed amendment to the framework is just excessively bureaucratic around the management of cert authorities. This might potentially result in browsers accepting certificates from authorities with a slightly dubious track record (according to browser vendors), yes, but the certificates themselves will not necessarily be "less secure" - which the layman typically interprets as "cryptographically weaker".

In practice, this would simply move a little bit of control over the list of accepted authorities from browser vendors to EU institutions, which is not terribly unreasonable a stance.

In fact, as time passes and authorities become more and more tech savvy, I expect this sort of thing to happen more and more. There is a lot of unaccountable authority (eh) in internet infrastructure, with special companies like Google and Microsoft (and yes, Mozilla too) effectively holding the keys to many kingdoms. Even if such power is used scarcely and wisely, there is a question of legitimacy.
Oh, I now understand. Victims only matter if they belong to a "democratic" country, or if they live in a place called Europe.

One of the most relevant problems in Germany is that there is a caste that entirely specializes in written warnings and cease-and-desist declarations. A lot of our parliament consists of lawyers that tend to make favorable laws for their own industry. Just as background information on how Germany tends to enforce laws through private enterprise.

Really good behavior from the browser vendors. Either the TLS chain is working or it is not. There is little nuance in the chain of trust.

Since encryption seems to be the enemy dejure of governments, I would expect the next step would allow decryption by state executive forces if such "certificates" were established. This seems like getting a foot in the door.

But I still wonder how it would enforce compliance. Certificates can be added and removed from browsers. Some use the OS certificate store and some have their own. I hope the community keeps a watchful eye. Because a mandated certificate is the opposite of secure.
Site is back up now
I would say the exact opposite. So much pressure can be applied against an oppressive fascist regime thanks to the fact that the world is still using fiat. Russia cannot be trusted as a trade partner when Putin, just one guy alone, decides to put at risk more than 25% of worldwide wheat export just to satisfy his personal dream of a lost past glory. He is using nuclear threats to satisfy his own ego. That type of insane behaviour should be completely inacceptable in a global economy and has to be exponentially expensive to do if we want stable peace.

Trust between trade partners is one of the most important element of an economy but for ideological reasons crypto-currencies enthusiasts believe that should instead be delegated to a protocol. I think it's a fundamental mistake.
I'm curious what causes this proposal to get attention now. As far as I can find, it has been submitted by the European Commission in June of last year, but little has happened since; the European Parliament and European Council in particular don't seem to have considered it yet.

However, that amounts to precisely nothing, because the industry has decided to use hooks moving forwards and they're basically inevitable, because even if you'd ever want to use something like class based components, the libraries that you'll try to use and integrate with will still make you use them sooner or later, because it's actually not easy to maintain support for a wide variety of ways to use your library.

In the past few years, i've increasingly felt like i should look at either Vue (which i already use at my day job) or Svelte, or even Angular for my personal projects.
Gaddafi, Saddam, and Assad all had sanctions against them and groups armed against them. Sudan was forced to give up South Sudan. The response to any situation is never going to be identical, it needs to be dictated by what is going on in those specific circumstances, but certainly there's enough evidence of similar actions taken outside of white countries to suggest this is a gross oversimplification.
Polymoprphisms in the CPT1A gene control the amount of fatty acids that enter the cell to be broken down into ketones. Since the Inuit eat so much fat, after generations this gene has selected to be slower so they are not in a constant state of ketosis and therefore save glucose. The Inuit have a very low glucose diet so this makes sense that they need to try to hoard glucose.

You will notice in kids with full CPT1A deficiency that they have an almost total inability to make ketones and suffer hypoglycemia when fasting.

The problem is that you are thinking like a Caucasian when it comes to ketosis and you all think ketosis is always good. It is not always good, it should be balanced.

> read by a large portion of the tech world

Hmmm. I might take issue with that statement. While the author of Stratechery doesn't seem to have any public numbers, from https://stratechery.com/about/

"Stratechery has subscribers from over 85 different countries, including executives in both technology and industries impacted by technology, venture capitalists and investors, and thousands of other people interested in understanding how and why the Internet is changing everything."

Hmmm. "Thousands"? So let's round up and call it 10k.

From the BLS, approximately 178k Computer Programmers in 2020 in the US: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes151251.htm Just programmers, just in the US.

So 10k is ~5% of programmers in the USA. That's not a 'large' number in my understanding, and that ignores everyone outside of the USA and everyone who is in tech in the USA but not a programmer.

It's hard to find global numbers from a reliable source, but googling around indicates that there are millions of people in the tech sector worldwide.
That's why I said "as much as possible". I keep the bash scripts as linear as possible so they are "scripts" rather than "programs".

We started out using cypress, which I was convinced was the wrong tool for testing APIs so I switched to this approach, which sped up our CI deployments significantly.

I'd encourage you to do your own research on this. The kind of research where you assume you're getting a soon-to-be-abanonded piece of techno-capital-consumerist ewaste, and critically evaluate anecdata against a rubrik composed from spending time researching the hairy corners of the space. This comes from a bleeding heart optimistic burned almost too many times.

Here are some items to look for:
- a device tree for the chipset for your device
- a u-boot fork or patches for the chipset/device/both
- a Chromebook built with that chipset, due to how ChromeOS development is done
- any sign of commitment from the chipset manufacturer

This topic is a lot like early Android bootloaders before... one of the early Motorola devices. Before there was a set of expectations/framework-support/etc for unlocking. That first unlockable Motorola device, there was 9 months of every wise-guy on the Internet swearing it was just a matter of time. And often it is, but only due to what amounts to luck.

Instaloader v4.8.4
I know nobody likes this idea, but I believe the best solution is a curated list of companies, products, and their websites. You provide a browser add-on that displays the list, and let users search through it and click on the company/product they want.

Here's some ways to implement this:

1. Have CAs publish a list of domains and company names. This is problematic because lots of companies have different domains and legal entities, and it's very likely an attacker could list a company that sounds like another company with a malware domain.

2. Volunteers register companies and their domains and brand logos in a Git repo and companies can request changes if need be. They'll be explicitly only trying to list domains that people have asked for and scrutinize them to prevent adding phishing sites.

The latter would have some problems I'm sure, but it gets closest to what users want, which is "show me Bank websites" / "show me Bank of America's website". By having a curated list and some strict policies on managing the list, it will probably be much safer and easier than any other method that exists today to find a company website. Additional techniques could add integrity, like a reporting mechanism, and a star feature to favorite specific sites so they come up first with the number of times they've been starred.
This is weirdly specific for Netflix. What about Prime Video? Disney+? Apple TV? Do those have Russian-based subscribers too?

I can see the point of keeping YouTube, Facebook, TikTok etc active because they allow people to share their own footage - something that can be a godsend in otherwise heavily censored regimes. But Netflix isn’t the only curated entertainment package out there.

This feels more like an attack on Netflix than a petition for positive change.

I feel like I've gained a nice incremental improvement in lighting just by changing all my bulbs to high CRI LEDs with around 5000-5500K color temperature. The perceived brightness is higher than with typical "soft white" bulbs, and it even feels better being in the room. The biggest problem I have yet to solve is that my living room has no overhead lighting.

Well if they didn't want their economy get shafted, maybe they shouldn't have invaded another country unprovoked?

Also, it's a two way street; China maintains dollar reserves, but the US has a $1 trillion debt with China [0]. If there was a conflict, or if the US refused to pay back those loans, their credit rating would drop and they would no longer be able to borrow more money. And if the US cannot borrow money, it will soon enter a state of shutdown - it's spending a lot more than it's earning (it has a budget deficit of $3 trillion [1]).

Holding money and debts is a means of mutual control, a force to maintain good relationships, standings, and peace. This is one reason why China is holding a fairly neutral stance; they're not cutting off Russia, but they're not pissing off the other countries either by e.g. providing military or financial aid to Russia.

Because I think that on a theoretical level, both el. piano and tonewheel organ are a solved problem (honestly I don't think that there are aspects of simulating a Rhodes that we're not aware of because they haven't been discovered yet).

The problem comes when you actually start designing a new hardware product for the market: do you have cost constraints? What corners are you going to cut? If you aren't cutting corners, how much is the product going to cost? How large is your potential market then? If you are targeting a pro segment, among other things you would need to equip your organ with good quality DSPs and in case you go for physically based sound synthesis (which IMHO you should) I would imagine you need a good CPU + an OS with realtime kernel. For a Hammond you also have additional hardware requirements compared to a piano, e.g. good quality waterfall keyboard (not many producers out there, unlike weighted piano keyboards that are much more mainstream) and bass pedalboard (much more expensive than a keyboard for obvious structural reasons).

> It was designed by a clockmaker as a very precise piece of machinery.

Hammonds have all types of quirks, for example folding of the higher harmonics in the higher octaves or key click, not to mention Leslie emulation where all sorts of variables are in play such as mic positioning, speed, acceleration and deceleration of the cones... those are not unlike some piano quirks such as sympathetic resonance, which are not straight forward to emulate in a credible way.

In the end, instead of doing all of the above, you could just reissue the real thing, a tonewheel organ.
Debugging with GDB
Android lets you trust certain sources of APKs, where Firefox/Chrome/F-Droid are a source. Once enabled it will trust any APK that comes from that source (and obviously a browser can then download any).
Can anyone recommend any writing/graphic novels/etc. that work in this genre? I’m struggling to find solid story examples that contain a positive version of the future (though I read a lot of solarpunk adjacent musing and ideation without much to see in fully fledged writing).
> but the certificates themselves will not necessarily be "less secure"

I don't trust the EU to handle encryption. I don't think that is unreasonable especially with the attempts against it cloaked as "reasonable access".

The chain of trust has weaknesses and any government institution can only fully undermine that trust. It would not last a week without abuse, the same happened with Covid tracking apps and location information.

> there is a question of legitimacy.

For the EU there is actually quite a lot of that. It is true that at some point we have to trust someone, but which problem do you want to see solved here?
Maybe this is a turning point?

It's the first time in a long time we see the West come together, even during COVID we had drama about hoarding vaccines, and who gets what first.

To be fair, Europe has been taking refugees for quite some time, but we indeed haven't saw this sanctioning anywhere else... but let's face it: this is happening in Europe, a nuclear power is invading an independent european country.

Apparently there are big consequences for such actions. Maybe that's where the line is drawn, since it has to be drawn somewhere.
> However, because it is 2022, they also have the option of assets that literally nobody can take off them.

Don’t oversell it: this is a government with advanced internet monitoring capabilities and little concern about civil liberties. Make one opsec mistake or transact with someone who does, show unexplained money, etc. and then it’s “turn over the key if you want to see your children out of prison”. Blockchains are exceptionally risky here because they require a lot of visible network activity and leave a full history of your activity for the authorities.
Your comment is probably true, org-mode vs X features, for any tool X, but org mode (ie all of emacs) is a tool construction kit, not an especially good tool itself.
This seems like victim blaming. Removing the app from the play store seems like much too harsh of a punishment for a simple procedural oversight. To me it seems like a more appropriate response would have been to give Briar a 5 day window to supply credentials and leave their existing app in the play store.
Aside from the details of this specific proposal it seems to me that government mandates on what end-user software can do is uncharted territory. How would this affect open source browsers ? The most widely known browsers (ie. Chrome and Firefox) aren't even traditional commercial products since they are distributed for free and derived from open source code.
Sure, but if the battery continues to last for an extended work day after many years of use without a replacement, that’s extremely appealing to me.
Less secure is exactly that. If `Mr Shady` is in the mandated list (by law), and the browsers are required to threat their certificates as trusted, what do you think is the impact on the whole ecosystem?
How is the state of certificate authorities included in browsers these days?

I remember some years back there being much noise about supposedly atrocious behaviour by some of the default included cert issuers...
> In practice, this would simply move a little bit of control over the list of accepted authorities from browser vendors to EU institutions, which is not terribly unreasonable a stance.

I have zero trust in the competence and intentions of EU institutions

Gear pump or hydraulic pump uses lattice gear for rapid transmission of fluids. Hydraulic gear pump converts mechanical force into fluid hydraulic energy.

This hydraulic pump is positive in the type of displacement pumps, and in each rotating round, they place a certain amount of liquid

The hydraulic gear pump is a positive displacement pump (PD). This fluid moves with frequent enclosure of a constant volume using gears or interconnected gears and transfers it mechanically using a cyclic pumping action. This flow proportiones to the speed of rotating your gears without pulses.
