yeah, a couple of companies in the space are experimenting with the concept of an omni-pool.

Essentially, since arbitrage bots are a constant you don't need an outside oracle to ensure there's very little slippage between assets. Addititionnally, since you are swapping inside the pool it does not incur a trade fee as you aren't trading some outside entity with a confirmation time.

Obviously it gets deep in math, but what you get it the ability to pay for anything with anything with no trading fees and a % APR for keeping your assets in the omni pool.

Solona and dot already beat visa in transaction speed, latency and confirmation time. DOT at technology maturity is looking to be able to process around 10X the transaction volumes of visa.
Is Russia implementing something along the lines of "The Great Firewall of China"?

From what I have heard it has its own search engine, Yandex and that offers similar products to Google but that is far as my knowledge goes when it comes to the Russian internet.
> only open-source alternative that can keep up with Github feature-wise.

Imo they're still leading Github in some areas. My favorite Gitlab exclusive feature is a very simple one: folders inside of projects. Usually Github has followed a pattern of catching up to Gitlab, so I think it's probably only a matter of time before they add this feature (if they haven't already, it's been a while since I checked).

Actually I take that back, my favorite feature is that I can host my own private instance. Gitlab gets even better if you have admin access to the system. And that's one feature Github will probably take a while to copy, if ever.
How would Steam even learn about that? The person getting scammed in that situation is the person selling bitcoins for credit card payments, since those payments will be canceled by the card holders bank.

Does anyone actually sell bitcoin via credit card transactions?
This is bullshit. People deserve a way to send money without middlemen and unfortunately that requires a means of attempting censorship resistance or at least consensus within a nearly arbitrarily adversarial network.

It's completely fair - YouTube picked a business model that has certain benefits and costs and this is one of the costs.

They are happy to reap the benefits so it is fair to put the costs on them.

Ok smart guy, where was your wisdom the last 10 years while I and my friends were opposing Putin and his election fraud machine?

But seriously, you don't have even a remote idea how this works.

Putin's party popularity is around 25-30% now, but it has the majority of seats in parliament. But at the same time, he controls 100% of seats in the parliament. How? Because every other party permitted to take part in elections is controlled by him too!

The only way you can 'protest' him in elections is by concentrating opposition voters to vote against his main party, but even his main candidate fails, the other one is made from the same kind of shit.

And as for 'independent observers', ... It's hard even to begin describing how such observer can be simply severely beaten by several gopniks at the government's request, or thrown away from the prescint by the police for 'disturbing order' (by yelling trying to stop blatant electon fraud)
I think he is talking about him/her referring to his/her self (singular), using "we".
Speaking of the war, is it possible to block russian propaganda channels in telegram? Reporting them doesn't work.
How did Europe not freeze to death during Cold war. It's not like it recently became cold there. I don't think this is about actual availability of Gas. It is about gas being cheap. If that is indeed the case, Germany in particular has to think hard on whther lives matter than money.
The east of Ukraine is the most heavily fortified due to literal war since the 2014 separatists.

Russia's strategy thus far has been to walk around and ignore the east, and instead attack big cities like Kyiv or Kharkhiv.

Russia's biggest gains have been their amphibious assaults from the south / Crimea.

But all attacks from the north and east have been lackluster this far. And bypassing the fortified line means that Ukraine has the ability to attack those overextended units in the rear.

Russia seems like they are rushing this. I think a slower, more deliberate advance would help the Russians here, they really shouldn't be trying to take cities yet just 3 or 4 days into the conflict. The Russians should have tried for air superiority and strengthened supply lines for a more drawn out assault.

Of course, I don't know the Russian supply situation. It could be that these units know they don't have enough supplied for a drawn out battle and are rushing because they need a quick victory?

The other theory is that Russia is doing the Cannon fodder strategy, purposefully sacrificing weaker troops to the enemy to eat up Ukraine's ammunition (javalin missiles or whatnot).
So am I right that SWIFT not only gives you a protocol that you can use to interop with other banks, but also some sort of DNS system that tells you how to send money to almost any other bank? This makes me think of the Bitcoin lightning network a bit as well. To reach bank Z, bank A needs to find a route of pairs of banks that can perform settlements, so there must be some sort of routing table to do that. That routing table is probably a service that swift provides and thus if they cut the russian banks from accessing this, they wouldn't be able to figure out how to reach other banks.
>No, writing paragraphs of irrelevance (you didn't genuinely interpret DQ to mean Dairy Queen so the large comment you wrote about that misinterpretation was just sheer noise) doesn't increase the visibility of what you're trying to obfuscate, it shifts the signal/noise ratio downwards. It pollutes and derails the discussion.

Didn't I? How do you know what's in my mind?

Since Grammarly is a tool to improve writing, talking about improving one's writing (in this case, defining the abbreviations you're using) is certainly appropriate to the discussion.

It's unfortunate that you disagree. But I'm really not sure what you're disagreeing with me about. From what exactly do you think I'm trying to distract/deflect/obfuscate?

I'd really like to know what you think. Really.

Let's talk all about exactly what you want to highlight from this discussion. What might that be? You haven't been clear about anything except that you don't like what I have to say and, seemingly, more the way I said it.

You have claimed that I'm some sort of shill attempting to derail the conversation, but you haven't stated what you think it might be that I'm trying to derail/deflect/obfuscate.

So what's your gripe? What's your take on Grammarly? What do you think is important and should be the focus/foci of this discussion.

Obviously, you're incredibly wise and your opinion is much valued the world over, so please do tell.

And a bonus question for you: Do you have to work at being a jackass, or does it come naturally?
Kremlin.ru opens for me, but at a very low speed. Mvd.ru redirects to мвд.рф just fine. Taking down .рф TLD sounds like the next step.
I feel like that's just a slight variant (with the font, mainly) of the built-in Rainy Day theme.
Yes that's the idea.
There needs to be criminal liability for gathering the information without permission.

Following your logic, what USA and its vassals have done to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia... is "an unprovoked war of aggression".
I reported a 2FA bypass vulnerability (TOTP code could be reused), and it was marked as low severity, and took them nearly a year and a half to fix.

They didn't even bother creating a CVE for it.

It doesn't seem like they take security very seriously.
HashiCorp has in general been fairly quick to adopt young/young -ish languages as they gain popularity (looking at Go and Rust) so it seems plausible - I'm curious as well
I disagree, there is a time and place for everything.
Mercedes treated me similarly. I had a brand new sprinter van. The power braking fluid lines exploded just after I got off the highway. I got extremely lucky it didn't happen 5 seconds earlier than it did. Turns out they use plastic rings instead of metal ones and it turns out it happens to lots of people. They refused to buy back the vehicle. I wanted to sue them but I've got too much stuff on my plate, or so I tell myself. Needless to say, I lost a lot of trust in them and (perhaps stupidly) sold the van shortly afterwards.
'Conflict' just means 'conflict'.

It does not mean equivalent circumstances.

In this instance, to be a bit more objective about the situation, the choice of 'conflict' is reasonable.

For news headlines, 'Russian Invasion' is more appropriate, because it does communicate what is happening more appropriately.

FYI Russian government is censoring everything everywhere so as to not allow the words 'invasion', 'incursion' or 'war' (!?!?) to be used to describe the situation.

I mean, seriously ... it's not a 'war' ...

It's like Russia is borrowing from it's Soviet era days. When I was a kid that was comedy gold ...
Europe isn't able to do such quick emergency projects anymore. The environmental review to see what kind of salamander's might be woken up by the digging would take years alone.

>Gitlab is the only open-source alternative that can keep up with Github feature-wise.

I think it's a bit the opposite, GitHub seems to have started adding most of these features as a response to competition with GitLab. Not that GitHub hasn't pulled ahead in some ways now.
How does one look up a route? Is it a SWIFT centralized service? In that case, could it be what they want to cut from the Russian?
I think most people (mistakenly) would consider me "against Ukraine". I am American and against US military involvement in the conflict. I am for humanitarian support for Ukraine and against military aid.

I think the war is awful, and wish it weren't happening, but think the sooner it is over, the better for everyone involved.

I think that Russia has real concerns about eastward expansion of NATO, and NATO should stop expanding in the region.
I believe that is the purpose.
Why did we think it would be a good idea to stick a computer between the brake pedal and the physics equation?

HN isn't "it-security-crowd". 99 out of 100 people here wouldn't know what to do with a terminal and depend on gui for most of their computing experience. Most here probably think pen-testing is checking how much ink a pen has.
Twitter is not:

> a general social media platform that has opinions from all sides on it.

Platforms like that exist, but are generally called despicable by people because of the multitude of generally supressed voices that are heard on platforms like that. Neither is Youtube, or Facebook. Ever since 2015 and 2017 dissident voices in the west have been banned from all these platforms.

At the very least, Russia does not yet have air superiority and seems to have made some huge tactical blunders around attacking the airports. They lost 2 IL-76 transports yesterday which seems indicative of things going off the rails.
My previous reply here was indeed obnoxious and I apologise.
Windows 7 is reasonably bug-free at this point but using Windows 10 can be horrible (running vlc will sometimes freeze the whole system). Using this comparison, recent versions of DOS are probably less buggy than both Windows and Linux.

I switched to Mint and liked the experience (my older Dell hardware was very well supported) but at the time, Mint was well behind Debian and Ubuntu upstream distributions from a security patching perspective. Moving up the distro hierarchy to Debian itself (for my workstations) has been well worth the effort.
i can pay for anything in the economy right now with BTC. It's called a crypto debit card... look it up.

I don't understand this sentiment. A) 50% of btc transaction were fraudulent makes zero sense. The technology behind BTC ensures it can't be fraudulent. So unless someone wants to explain to me how the hackers broke BTC's consensus to buy... videogames? it makes noe sense.
>Consciousness

What makes something conscious?

Follow up: is that answer well-defined (it's not using other nebulous concepts to avoid having to rigorously define it), and does it accept all of the things you think should be called "conscious" and reject all of the things you think should not be?

I wonder how the ACM's composition affects their stance on this. If most of ACM's influential participants come from academe, it costs little to label advertising as unethical. Now if we were to discuss the exploitation of naive graduate students, then there might be a little more back and forth.

The whole notion of calling a given thing unethical in modern discourse is interesting to me, because there is not just one ethics. A person could reasonably reflect on personalized advertising and ask: "what concrete harms have been done?" I think it would be hard to point out much that is unambiguous. People like to bring up Cambridge Analytica or social media misinformation, but neither case is necessarily advertising related. You could equally well argue those cases arise from Facebook's and Twitter's reluctance to embrace information paternalism.

I think it's fair for someone to comment on social issues without "removing the log from their own eye," because what each of us see as ethical issues with other actors in the social space differs. Typically we have no problem with our own actions and abhor anything that otherwise inconveniences us. But that also makes me question whether ethics is even a real thing, or whether it's just a rhetorical cudgel with which we try to beat other people into our preferred behavior.
There's a very good reason the parent may be confused about it. The NATO red line is fraudulent, a lie.

Russia goes into Sweden and Finland and it's not a red line? Yeah right.

The case is actually that people are deciding Ukraine isn't as valuable - that the lives are not as valuable - as Finland and Sweden and they're too great of cowards to say it outright.
DAI is a stablecoin not relying upon off-chain backing.
It's a pity, but what else we can do to stop the agression? As an European, I'm ready to bear the costs if it will help to stop the agression and the war. Spring is coming and it should be enough time to prepare for the next winter.

Yes. If it takes two years to get off Russian gas, so be it. Start today.

And seize some oligarchs’ assets to help pay for it.
How much difference would it make if everyone in Europe turned down their heating by 1°C? (Including e.g. electric heating in France or Norway, since the nuclear/hydropower can instead be used somewhere where electricity is made from gas.)
There is a process that can be used to turn coal into gas. It used to be common, but now is rarely used.
The phrase is one sprung of the zeitgeist of euphemistic war-words conceived in the communion of cable news and State Department press briefings.

This trend of imprecision has been nurtured by the moral cognitive dissonance that was inherent to American reporting on our two recent Eurasian wars.

At pains to make a distinction between classical nation-state war and our adventurism, we merely achieved a degradation in the shared meaning of “war,” “invasion,” etc.

This is very much the crux of the vulnerability Russian innovation in information war seeks to exploit.
It's not going to happen. There's no incentive to fix issues that aren't experienced by a Linux dev personally. This is the whole theory behind open-source: people will experience bugs, and show up and fix them. So in theory, it's your job to fix it (or suffer with it). There are also bug bounty sites where you can offer money to entice people to fix a bug, but in practice those are too clunky and unknown to work.
We've talked about this a lot internally. They make a big deal about releasing on the 22nd of every month, but they usually have to turn around and release a patch shortly thereafter. 14.8 is a bit of an extreme: 14.8.0 on the 22nd, 14.8.1 (bug fix) on the 23rd, then 14.8.2 (security) on the 25th.

We'd personally prefer to see a better release when it's done, vs. them keeping this farce of a 'release streak' going and then asking customers to install another upgrade within days.
No, DApps didn't change into NFTs, and yes, DApps and ICOs still exist. But DApps and ICOs are not the current "revolutionary" "game changing" drivers for "line goes up" in the Ethereum world. Similarly I'd expect NFTs and DeFi to continue to exist after whatever supersedes them as the main attraction to draw in new members. Just like there are still people who talk about Bitcoin as "electronic cash" even though most have moved on to other narratives like "digital gold". That is the evolving self-sustainability aspect of plausible deniability. The schemes are flexible enough for existing scheme members to claim they are whatever they need to be to continue drawing in those all-important new scheme members, although most likely only for a finite period of time.

My feeling is that in both current and projected systems, the driver will need some experience to figure out the ambiguity.

I also anticipate cases where the AI will mislabel an object and ask to turn left at the X while there's clearly no X, or maybe actually an X but further away, causing misguidance.
