I’m on the side of peoples who gave up on organization entirely, and have a stream of scanned documents with only the scanned date as the title for 99% of them.

The docs are OCRed and I retrieve them mostly by search, with tags for a few critical docs and by approximate dates for the rest if search by content fails completely.

This is viable, and there’s no way I’ll go back to manually setting up tags and names on all the docs that we scan in case it’s needed some day. It’s like asking everyone to do inbox zero with their mail, why would you put your time in the hand of uncontrolled external forces feeding you more info day after day?
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic with that second paragraph but obviously getting past extremely complicated firewalls is a pretty key skill set of a signals intelligence agency and the one that comes built into your home router isn’t going to provide any meaningful protection against a well resourced and persistent attacker
Cool to see Russian propaganda out in force tonight. Fuck off.
I keep wanting to write a basic implementation of datatypes combined with a fuse filesystem to allow access to metadata and transcoding from unaware applications, then realise I don't have time and hope someone beats me to it. Please, someone, beat me to it...
Knowing isn't enough. You also have to organize. Organizing in North Korea or Russia is infeasibly difficult.
I am one of those people who really likes it.

And I hate it too, and for all the reasons given here. (Did not check them all, but it is a pretty safe bet.)

Hating it all means I am on board with activism, advocacy, law, whatever we need to do in order to establish / extend the Bill Of Rights into digital spaces.

Society, tech and the law have collided and that mess is ongoing and expanding. Imagine one of those cars smashing into a train with the dummy in it.

It crumples, folds, then pieces fly off, the dummy takes damage, and just down the track is a truck, and a bus with kids in it, and so on...

That train is heavy, well powered with spiffy tech, and it is powering right through the public!

Hate it, but I am quite sure I can't do much, even resisting, doing all the work to anonymize, is a total PITA. Drains the value right out of it all, out of me, my life, and I just do not have time for it, unless a lot of us have time together somehow.

And I think dollars are the only language our oppressors, abusers, and the like will both hear and act on because they must!

Lessig wrote about things that regulate our behavior:

Norms. They do not prevent anything, but do reward or punish.

Law. Like norms, but with real teeth well beyond praise and shunning.

Physics. The rules of the world will prevent actions. The more we understand, the more this world permits.

Money / markets. These also can prevent things. If we cannot afford an action...

It will take a lot of us setting norms, doing things that cost, and all of that rolling up into law more relevant than this current "wild west" is.

I really like it because I get to do things, have access to information that was the stuff of dreams not so long ago.

It is all as empowering as it is exploitative.
Cars have a free rider problem. Public transport is expected to pay itself but since car infrastructure is subsidized public transport has to be subsidized to be competitive.
In that case how does it work? Are the connectors wrappers around the other db drivers that expose a common Postgres wire protocol?
Yes, in the presence of rational actors this would be avoided, but here we are anyway. A single nuclear strike would be met with retaliation and it would escalate to mutually assured destruction like clockwork. A lot of optimists thought Putin would not invade Ukraine because of the risk and that he was posturing. It would be similarly optimistic to presume rational actor decision processes. That may be a strategy he is employing, but we will never know until the brink. We are on the knife's edge of disaster here.
Always appreciate a good easter egg.

Cole's Law.
Yeah but my point was that the declared invasion is happening due to the rebels that took over Donetsk and Lugansk asking for help from Putin to defend themselves from the ukrainian govt
One thing I can suggest is to switch to business news instead. Business news is more inclined to give all the facts rather than give an opinion on things. Also looking at things from a business perspective is usually much more neutral and you learn a lot more. Regardless of this you shouldn't be consuming news on TV anyway.

This article isn't new though. Similar articles have been posted in HN since 2010s.
If NATO and its leading members (such as the US) had made a serious overture to invite Russia into NATO – laying out the welcome mat, without imposing any significant conditions, maybe even offering some inducements – would Putin have said No?
The meta of it is that some time ago, it was decided that just letting the FCC manage spectrum allocations, as they have since 1934, wasn't good enough. The decision was made to "sell" chunks of the spectrum for exclusive lease for various chunks of time and geography.

This was a horrible decision, because those fees are, in effect, a tax, that will inevitably be passed on to the users.

On top of that, it provided the incentive to take what was a reasonable separation that protected aircraft navigation bands from other users, and sell that space off.

On top of that, the FCC/FAA didn't bother letting the rest of the world know this was going to happen, even though they had YEARS to do so.

Thus, the current mess. Signals are popping up where the equipment currently in use was never expected to tolerate them. It's putting lives in danger.
By analogy: if you were to store all your paper copies of bank statements, bills, mortgage papers, etc... Would you just dump them in one big pile in the middle of your living room, or would you sort them into vaguely themed folders to impose some organisation? Hierarchical filesystems are valuable to those that want to organise data in ways that tags can only emulate.
There is a metaquestion: why when we double our estimate are we STILL out by a factor of 2-3
Having looked around the blog for just a bit, it's utterly obvious that he "is using his brain" to be a total fucking Putin troll.

Figure out for yourself what that makes you for posting that characterization of him.
Suppose canada tried to join china and north korea in some kind of military pact. USA would not possibly tolerate that.
Throwaway here. I work for a large US investment company that has a lot of Russian assets and staff. They are sticking their fingers in their ears and not even discussing this. I expect the sanctions will have minimal effect because there is such a complex web of investments. Individual staff are discussing exiting the company regularly over it rather than profiting from blood money. That’s all we can do.
And it seems that both were not incorrect.
As much as I enjoy reading this news. It is feels heavily sensationalized.

"Smashes" the energy record.

We're talking about a fusion generator here, that after 25 years of work, now manages to output 'double' the energy, to 59 MJ in 5s -like 20 MW- while requiring 180 MJ input power.

Somewhere hidden in the article is the news that this could mean a input/output ratio of 10 in a full scale reactor, but that's also something we've been waiting on for decades.

I find it easy to be enthusiastic about fusion, but the news and research surrounding it makes me sad.
Obviously that was not a statement against any and all laws.
"Normal" varies a lot. Via my Oura ring, at 5'10" and 160lbs, I know I typically burn perhaps 250 cal on a lazy day off work. Against that background, working in retail management, ordinary numbers are 700 cal on an undemanding shift, and upwards of 1000 when it gets busy.
Unless it's local, hell no. Sounds like a privacy nightmare.
If you think you truly are user 1234567890 then you're sorely mistaken. Corporations have one thing in mind, and that is profit. They'll use your data however they see fit to maximise those profits. If that means identifying you, then so be it.

There is a reason phrase like microtargetting exists. When a political group is able to target individuals using their platform, that's not okay.

It gets worse though, government surveillance is one thing, it's another when Corporations give them full access to their data. Or did we forget Snowden already?
There are 6 things on the list. This one is the closest to promising to defend Ukraine:

>Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".

I don't know exactly what "Seek immediate Security Council action" means. What if the US seeks it and doesn't find it? Is that in compliance with the memorandum?
I'm on Debian, for the record.
The issue with solar is the land area usage in densely populated countries, less of a problem in the US but here in the UK the is a lot of push back against building solar farms on agricultural land. There is a convincing argument that we need to discourage the practice in order to maintain domestic food production.

Obviously there are alternative locations such a roofs of commercial buildings and over the top of car parks. But that bring some of there own problems, structural problems with old roofs and cost to modify car parks.

The UK have done a brilliant job of offshore wind, that works well.

My point is traditional Nuclear and Fusion use a lot less land and that is an important factor to consider long term.
Dictators like to think they "are" the country.

I designed it for 40km/h max, but this is way too fast.

Given the KV rating of the motor and your max voltage you can calculate the max rotational speed of the motor = KV*V. From there it is just a matter of multiplying by all gear ratios along the drive train to calculate the rotational speed of the rear wheel. Knowing the circumference of the 26" wheel gives you the max speed.
How national labs are funded is its own completely bonkers system.

Then we cut every cross connect going to a Russian ISP and telecom at DE-CIX Frankfurt, and every eastern border of a NATO state.
If you use the three-fingers gesture, the animation is as fast as you can swipe. I don’t know if you can disable it when you use the keyboard (because I don’t).

tbf, i like the way it’s synced with the trackpad gesture : it allows you to start swiping left to just see something without interacting and go back to the right without leaving the trackpad to get back where you were. That’s pretty useful when you have running things that you care are ok but are not worth the real estate (logs, running dev server …)
Shortly after, the nuclear missiles left Cuba. Sixty years later, Cuba is still under full sanctions, Guantanamo is still occupied.

Cuba was set up by the Soviets. The Ukraine has been set up as a way to marginalize and weaken Russia.

The original "world war", the Seven Years War, started over some useless land in North America and then became global over Silesia, both of which are rather small things.

WWI started over an assassination that barely happened, and WWII over a city ( Danzig, although it's fairly certain Hitler wouldn't have stopped there, like WWI would have happened anyways).
> Mobiles have shown that it's possible to remove the concept of files entirely from the user facing side of an OS.

That is an inherent weakness of mobile OS's and prevents them from competing with traditional computers in workplaces. It works as long as you never want to do anything complicated with your computer, but most people working in offices needs the organization offered by a file system, not to mention how crippling this would be to use as a development environment.
I actually did see the pong. My version does a bit more, but it was nice to see the example.

I do work on my own hobby projects (games), but I might consider working on the Lua implementation. Will at the very least join the Discord.
So Article 4 is talking - I am very sure lot's of talking within NATO happened in the last couple of months already - what does this change?
As with every fusion article, I encourage anyone interested in the space to look into General Fusion. They're using liquid metal as both the reaction vessel and as a means to extract power. Really cool stuff.
Nuclear powers are afraid of invasion because there is a lot of territory between conventional war and the use of nuclear weapons. And because they know that the only real threat of invasion comes from other nuclear powers, meaning once the nukes are fired, the other side fires back and all of a sudden there isn't anything left to defend anymore.

NATO had the local armies of the Baltics, Poland, Slovakia and so on the Russian border (by definition). NATO had the US forces in Germany reasonably close to the Russian border. NATO had the forces supporting the war in Afghanistan on Russians southern border None of that was, as far as anyone not informed about secret NATO planning, can tell geared against Russia. If your neighbor patrols his fence with a huge axe while your children are playing in the backyard, so, you would be worried I assume. Even if it was just to cut wood. Especially if you have bad history with that neighbor.

During the cold war, both NATO and the Warsaw pact conducted war games about invasions of the other side. War Games, because they needed something build their defensive strategies on. As it turned out, both sides, NATO and the Warsaw Pact, never had any real invasions plans for Europe, instead both side focused purely on defense against such an invasion. Turns out that this fear of the other side never died.

Since all that lies in the past, the question where we (as in the West) draws the line. NATO, and the US, kept a ton of unresolved territorial disputes in check since the end of the cold war. Most of those conflicts have the potential to turn really, really bad. If Russia gets away with their attack on Ukraine, others will, potentially rightly so, think they can do the same. And then the World-as-we-know-it might pretty much just end. Well, it might as well if NATO goes to war with Russia over Ukraine as well. Only bad choices it seems.
I don't think Putin has a single reason, the reason you stated is one in particalur an US one. From a Western European view, my best guess is, he also wants to destabilize EU (with a lot of NATO memebers). Remember Syria an the refugee crisis? This gave TailWind to a lot of right wing parties, which are mostly ProRussia (AFD, FPÖ etc). Incidentally left wing parties, "Die Linke" comes to mind, are also Putin fans. So any polarization within EU will help Russia to sell its resources and don't get sanctioned to much. IMO Putin is playing the divisor.

For the Sponsorblock browser addons you can configure them to only show you a button to skip the segments if you like. I'm not sure if that option is available in Vanced or the NewPipe Sponsorblock fork.
Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 to "enforce peace". Same with Crimea in 2014. Then Luhansk and Donetsk a few days ago. Now the rest of Ukraine. Discussion with Putin is futile. When Russia started sending troops next to the Ukraine borders, NATO and especially USA should have responded by sending two thousands soldiers to Kiev. It's too late now.
Differences matter. Details matter. Stop constructing false equivalence.

Article 4

The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.

Article 5

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .
I have had good luck with batteries by following the charge at 15 percent guideline Samsung moved to.

My Note 8 is going on a lot of cycles. Have had it for too long probably. Battery still holds up solid.

Older device, Note 5 had a 5 percent warning. Battery went to crap quickly.

Avoiding the fast charge helps too. I use it when I need to and just go normal otherwise when I am not time constrained.

No charging port trouble. Wireless charging just works.

Recently, I got a battery back. Doing it now before I really need it. So far, a year in and a lot more plug in charging and I cannot recommend one more highly.

I find I can often run the phone off the back and pretty much never have to allow a deeper discharge.

Battery time leveled off and is in a very, very slow decline.

YMMV, of course.
The position is understandable because Russia is playing a Grand Strategy Game in the past, and doesn't want the enemy ( NATO) to be at all their borders. Justified? Right? Humane? Absolutely not.
Oh, you got me wrong. If Putin finds out NATO won't got to war over Ukraine, he will try again with other non-NATO countries. Or even smaller NATO countries like the Baltics. China might try too, with Taiwan. Just to name some of the more obvious candidates.
Basically:

Article 4: Let's meet, I think I might be next.

Article 5: I am being attacked, help?
If Putin presses on toward Poland or threatens the Baltics, then we will be on a knife's edge. However, for now, Russia has only invaded Ukraine. It's a humanitarian disaster, but so far on the world stage it shows no sign it will escalate beyond new sanctions, export controls, and perhaps additional military support for NATO members in Eastern Europe.
I dont want to name names, but do any tech company actually apologise after their high evangelism to the world and industry and walk back 70% of their decision five years later?

The google photos image search is amazing. The other day I was trying to remember how long it had been since I smashed my toe doing yard work so I tried searching “toe nail” and it pulled up exactly the picture I was looking for.
"showing force" is such a light way to describe it, this is full scale invasion into Europe, with the target to annihilate whole country while impotent civilized west watches it unfold in the fears that they may be next.
Why would you write a trailing return type for a simple getter?
I have anecdotal evidence to the contrary: myself.

In the short and medium term, it's obvious that wind and solar are going to help us avoid the worst of the climate crisis. In the long term, we might need something more to reverse climate change.

Existing nuclear fission energy capacity might be a short term stopgap. It's just clearly not sustainable because inherently too risky:

- military/terror/nuclear proliferation risk

- uninsurable accident risk

- long-lived waste risk

- uranium sourcing geopolitical risk

Nuclear fusion however should be able to avoid most of these risks.

All of this could be moot of course if dangerous idiots like Vladimir decide to solve the problem by killing a sufficiently large fraction of humanity. I'm cautiously optimistic though that a better solution is possible.
That sure plays a role. Not that this word of mouth spreading of democracy worked out so well lately. But yeah, if I were Putin I would prefer a war in Ukraine over a potential civil war over my rule in Russia any day of the week.

One cannot ignore the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in this whole mess so.
To me, what makes hierarchical file systems compelling, and what a replacement needs to be able to achieve, is that it provides logical filtering. E.g. I rarely want to search all image files on my machine. I want to search screenshots or personal photos or desktop backgrounds. For some categories, like my source code, the hierarchy is deeper.

You can emulate that with tags, certainly, and for some things that's a better fit (a photo can be both a personal photo and a desktop background). But what matters is that the full set of operations, including "this is no longer an X, but it's a Y" aka move/rename, and "find Xs with these attributes" must be just as fast and easy to do.
The problem is not condemning, the problem is just condemning and not taking the next step, or making it so weak it actually emboldens tbe agressor, who thinks "oh, that's all they got? Wasn't too bad, I guess I'll just keep on"
Maybe we could kickstarter some better maps for them...

Looks like I just lost the bet. Woke up to explosions at 5 AM this morning.
I didn't make any value judgement about the undisputed fact that Russian troops have been stationed in Crimea for the last 25 years, with the permission of the Ukrainians - I just pointed that fact out. Even when facts don't jive with your preferred narrative, they indeed remain facts, not propaganda.
Article 5 in this context means WW3
Thank you very much for this artikel. I found the explainations in that Q&A for most parts very understandable, and felt like they actually give direct answers to direct questions. Also I perceived the questions to be a very good composition.

Unfortunately, it's from 2012, if I understand correctly. Can anybody recommend a similarly braod discussion of the big questions for the 'simple (wo)man'?
