Plus as another commenter mentioned, a call to action for a group is a bit different than using the royal we to refer to a person or position. I'm sure there are numerous examples from both parties we could post here but that would get us nowhere

Abramovich is feeling the heat though. He’s distancing himself from his prize asset - Chelsea Football Club. He put out a statement that he won’t be involved in running the club in a bid to prevent it from being seized by the UK government.
I'm glad you added "according to them", because nuclear has a much lower carbon footprint than gas.
That was the original meaning. Roughly until 'Java' came around and started calling everything an object. We used to call structures with data and pointers to functions just that: structures.

President Zelenskiy wrote 40 minutes ago (1):

"Results of my conversation with Alexander Lukashenko.

We agreed that the Ukrainian delegation will meet with the Russian one without pre-conditions on the Ukraine-Belarus border near the Pripyat river.

Alexander Lukashenko took personal responsibility for all planes, helicopters, and rockets on Belarusian territory staying grounded during our travel there, the talks, and the return of the Ukrainian delegation."

How do you convince the when-to-fire-logic to act on a mock, if the torpedo implementation is not provided from outside it?

I'm wondering if I have the terminology understood differently to other people, because to me, DI == IoC. DI Frameworks are build on top of the concept that dependencies will be injected, but doing it explicitly in your start-up code is the same thing to me.

Why on earth do people think donating money for a war would help?
The interest of powerful people and companies created this war because they profit from it. They used your taxes to make sure both sides have weapon so a war can happen and now people are naive enough to donate even more money so the war can go on for longer?

Your donation will be used to finance destruction and death at worst and at best some random person with access to it will run away with it. And I would not even blame someone for doing that. I would chose a few BTC as a kick start for a new life somewhere else over laying dead in the street too.
That would trigger an overwhelming response.

Nuclear weapons create huge EMP bursts which disrupt communications. One popular type of theoretical first strike is to detonate one or two missiles in the atmosphere to cause confusion, then follow up with the main salvos while peoples' main sensors and communications are blind.
There are small steps that you can take. Use hot water sparingly, turning down the thermostat and driving slower can all help. I don't think we need to pass laws to do this though as any changes to a way of life is an attack on freedom.
The current SWIFT bans are only aimed at some Russian banks and seem to intentionally let oil and gas continue to flow.
Meh SWIFT is a mild inconvenience. There is CIPS, BTC and even barter of goods. How to pay for a few billion euros of gas is the smallest problem.
I think it's a good sign for how I've curated my Twitter feed that everyone seems to understand how "regional" wars can spiral and how much this resembles the early days of the world wars. Add world-ending nuclear arsenals to that, and things get dicey.

There’s literally many pieces of Ikea furniture that are made from cardboard covered in melamine sheeting. Some of it even holds up well as long as you don’t get water in it. My coffee table was $12 when I bought it 10 years ago, and it’s still fine, and it’s made literally from cardboard.

That said, Ikea has plenty of solid wood furniture, mostly of pine, and if you apply wood glue to the pegs during assembly it’s extremely durable and long lasting for it’s price. I have a dresser from Ikea that was “stain yourself”. I assembled and sealed it when I was 14. I’m almost 40, and it’s still in fantastic condition.

I considered NZ as well but the weather looks pretty terrible in NZ (maybe slightly better than the UK), windy and rainy.

House prices weren't too bad but quality wise they weren't great.
I can't say they were much worse from London tbh (but it may be more related to how everything is expensive in London, outside of London house quality is way better).

Also taxes are pretty bad.

Ask HN: Could Ukrainian embassies facilitate US hackers to join the cyber front?
(Embassies as well as consulates.)

Whatever happens inside these locations "never happened" so to speak. Ironclad plausible deniability.

I've seen several comments from software engineers saying that they'd love to join the cyber fight but won't because doing so is, of course, illegal.

But San Francisco has a consulate, and so it got me thinking about this option.

Ukraine is now openly calling for international volunteers to support both combat and cyberwarfare operations. Perhaps they'd be amenable to allowing some of the best hackers on the planet through their doors to fight with impunity.

I'm not encouraging people to do this, more just a morbid curiosity about the mechanics and plausibility of it as a strategy. We're seeing a whole lot of technological elements we (or at least most people) have never seen in war over the past few days.
They're sending some to themselves for optics, I guarantee it.
I've watched a 2015 talk as well.

Do you really need the perspective of a country that started offensive war to overthrow democratically elected government and threatens to use nukes if anyone interferes?
Does it? There is exactly 0% chance if UKraine joined NATO back in 2008 Russia puts 200,000 troops on its border and has its psychopathic president give a speech that Ukraine is full of Nazis and has no right to exist.

Joining NATO means "the member" doesn't have a history of armed invasion; NATO does.
The Twitching Girls: Is this the first illness spread by social media?
So, some more reading later: there is a 'post operational' phase prior to the actual decomissioning when stuff starts to be taken apart and removed.

I think the question to be answered is whether or not these plants are still in the 'post operational' phase or whether there has already been decommissioning, so far I have not been able to find anything definitive on this.
Actually, anyone who didn't buy Francis Fukuyama could look up what would happen on a handfull of maps, diagrams and statistics.
Even the official Russian ones.

Russia is landlocked or easily cut off.

Russia has vast empty stretches of land without population and transport routes.

Russia's main population centers and easily destructible logistic infrastructure lies to the west.

Russia has nine geostrategically important entry points that have to be secured.

Russia has to expand its sphere of influence to secure them.

Russia lost most of them in the early nineties and declined from Global Power to ignored bystander.

Their demographics works against them.

Their time runs out.

It's an Russian Empire or it's nothing.

If the west fuck it up in the next weeks, it may see a last warning over the baltic sea in form of a light brighter than thousand suns.

p.s.

And yes, I think Putin is mad and paranoid.

And that is the problem.
Shit take.

Many western nations have strong ties to Ukraine through historical waves of immigration, and in the case of Poland, they are neighbours with a similar way of life and language.

Plus Ukrainians are taking a stand to defend their democracy, whereas Afghanistan made no such effort.

Also, the west went above and beyond wrt Syria, but Putin obviously won that one.
I hope it is ready so no madman can fire it on accident.

Other than that, I doubt there will be any nuclear action. We'll be back at the Cold War show where the script is: everybody dies and the question is who's first.
I can assure you I am not pro-Russia.

I'm happy to take suggestions on edits for the website.

I do support green energy targets, but I believe this situation proves the world did some math wrong. Russia is much more aggressive than we were willing to accept even a few weeks ago. The west has been increasing its purchasing of Russian gas and oil despite the fact they had annexed Crimea and supported the separatists.

I think we need to talk about what needs to happen in the short term right now. Most of the discussion I am seeing everywhere is people on the right taking shots at Biden and Germany for shutting down domestic production and caring about green energy targets.

Part of what I'm trying to get everyone to realize is that the left and right are on the same side. Conservatives that are taking a second to stop mocking the green energy movement are also shouting "this is why energy independence is national security".

I'm trying to bridge 2 sides of the debate, I think us lefties need to accept that energy independence in any means possible might be more strategically important in the short run.
How does electrifying your house solve the problem? That electricity still needs to come from someplace, and more often that not it comes from a combination of coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear.

Maybe someday when we can generate 100% of what we need from renewable sources - but we aren't even close to being there yet, and in the meantime, people still need energy.
These kinds of laws are applied selectively in terms of attention, populism, etc..

My bet, is that if nobody is really aware that you're messing with the Russian Postal Service during 'this time' there isn't really going to be a concern.

The UK Government, I believe, just this morning indicated that they would support people who wanted to go and fight.

People have fought with the Kurds from various countries, though their actions were on foreign soil.

My hunch is that this is political. If you're doing it for ISIS, and authorities become aware, you're somehow going to be in trouble. They will find a law that you are breaking.

If you are fighting against Russian in a moment of crisis, and not completely publicly flaunting some very obvious law, then maybe the authorities won't care.

In the US however, it's tricky, because if someone, somewhere doesn't like what you're up to, they can put the DA on someone and find a way to book them for '100 years in jail' (i.e. Aaron Swartz).

The thing is that in other occasions I believe I have bought DRM-free music from Amazon Spain. But those particular albums weren't available in Spain, and although I found them in the german Amazon, I wasn't able to purchase them. I assume that it was a matter Amazon only being license to sell it in some regions (side note, I'd rather not buy from Amazon. I was ready to bit the bullet because it was the only place I found them, after about two hours looking for alternatives, but even so, they didn't let me pay for it). Just another way in which copyright management goes directly against the user, I guess.

Yes, I know that fortunately there are many ways to pay for DRM-free music (I mentioned that I use Bandcamp pretty often). What I miss is the vast amount of content I had available 10 or 12 years ago; I have been able to buy a lot of music, but there is much more that just isn't available.
Implementing a flag like COLOR=light|dark|none puts the onus on application developers to interpret the user's configuration.

I think it would be more reasonable to define a standard set of environment variables based on semantics that can then be used explicitly by scripts and programs. Like CL_WARN=(code for red) CL_HILIGHT=(code for yellow) CL_OPTIONAL=(code for gray). This would make it very easy on script developers, who would only need to use these variables instead of their hard-coded ones.

>There are more options available to US than just "fire all the missiles".

I mean any launch by Russia will be declaration of war on everyone.

I don't know the effectiveness of stopping these nukes with missile defense. I suspect the USA has multiple plans that they expect to be effective.
Rather than a justification, I take it as an explanation of why Putin is doing what he's doing, as opposed to the other, often circulated, explanation that he just went crazy and invaded Ukraine for no reason.
Putin does seem like a "If I'm going down I'm taking you all with me" kind of guy, wonder how his health is nowadays.
Costco and Trader Joe’s excel at the “make you buy more than you wanted and be happy about it” way more than anyone else - you come out with a full cart and tell yourself you did a good job even though you went in intending to buy a single thing.

I think a key difference is you don’t feel tricked about the quality, whereas half the crap from IKEA has been absolutely insanely cheap quality and undurable as all get out (and the other half is a good deal for the price; the hard part is distinguishing- you have to identify the weakpoints that will be problematic in your use case).
Europe should have listened to a clearly stated warning even more recently: when Trump warned about Germany depending on Russian gas

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nato-summit-pipeline-idUS...
My experience with IKEA online in Europe has been fine. Scheduled delivery at a date and time of your own choosing, and the items are delivered from street to a room in your apartment.

The sticker price of the delivery sounds high at first glance (~$100 USD), when picking up from the store is "free". But having to rent a van, drive to/from IKEA, and do manual loading/unloading heavy boxes up three flights of stairs... that's a lot of time that would be spent, and I think I prefer paying for the delivery.
> The interest of powerful people and companies created this war because they profit from it.

Russia started this war and the brave people of Ukraine are fighting back with our help. Please don't spread lies to further your political agenda.
>While I can't picture myself taking up (cyber) arms against a foreign nation, aren't EU / US law quite explicit about the legality of meddling as a civilian?

To actually take a shot at your question, for the US at least in general it appears to be perfectly legal purely as a matter of current US law for a private citizen to go and fight for another country, so long as it's not against the US. I could have sworn this had come up fairly recently in the midst of all the middle east battles and indeed Foreign Policy had a whole article devoted to it in 2011: "Is It Legal for Americans to Fight in Another Country’s Army?" [0]. Caveats don't seem to apply here, obviously the UA is not an American "designated terrorist organization", Russia is not an ally (to put it mildly), etc. So just in terms of "could an American go volunteer for this?" answer seems to be yes.

Of course in practice it's a lot more complicated. Being legal to go fight in another army has nothing to do with actually getting there, what you can bring, and coverage for your actions. Unless you have a direct private US<>Ukraine flight or boat, have to check on transit laws for all the countries one is going through. Laws about transport of weapons or equipment (ITAR) still apply, though things you bring purely for your own use may be allowed but it's not clear at a glance. Bringing extras would definitely require licensing. Regulations for commercial air/sea travel, customs and so on still apply. If an officially sanctioned uniformed part of the UA volunteers should be protected by the GC and POW treaties and so on same as any other soldier, but of course Russia's adherence to that isn't a given, and they won't actually have the US military backing them directly like a US soldier would. Any crimes committed could be prosecuted, and there are requirements for GC coverage (like being in uniform, chain of command) that over enthusiastic volunteers might ignore at their peril. Russia could well be expected to flat out invent supposed crimes they "saw" volunteers committing and that wouldn't be trivial to avoid if captured. And much more.

It's a heroic cause and if somebody or some group was serious about navigating all that and accepting the risk even beyond that to their lives I'd honor them for it, and if all went well and they made it home there doesn't appear to be any legal risk back here so there is that. But it'd be an even more serious business than going to fight as part of the regular US forces.
