Nobody is helping ukraine with any military, period. There is zero appetite for yet another military conflict in any western country, especially not with a country armed with nukes and with a madman's hand on the trigger. The response will just be yet more sanctions. If Russia provokes a NATO member then it's time to invest in those doomsday bunkers.
Ukraine joining Nato is akin to the Cuban missile crisis. Nato is WW3 in the making. It's an idiotic pact that agrees if Russia does anything deemed hostile, they all have to declare war. It's the same stupid type of pact that caused ww1 & ww2. The people pushing it want war with Russia. It will only benefit fat cat oligarchs. You will pay the taxes and you will be doing the dying.
Russia argues that it's defending the self determination of ethnic Russians in the Ukraine.

Maintaining the current borders does not advocate for self determination. War might not either, but the Ukraine isn't going to give up that land peacefully
Pure speculation, but maybe it’s calculated aggression based on an assumption that the west doesn’t have an appetite for war [with Russia] and will avoid doing so if possible.
Tell HN: My fingers are frustrated that my laptop does not autocomplete text
What a horrible realization!

I am just laying here trying to forget about war and typing some notes when I realized that my fingers were getting a bit lazy and I yearned for the laptop to just know what I wanted to type... like my phone almost always does.

That's disturbing to me in ways that I can't really articulate.

I think I am going to put the phone down more often moving forward.

I don't want to be suggested what to say based on some weird proprietary Markov algorithm or however they're doing it.

It's creepy.

> do you think Putin really wants to escalate beyond Ukraine? He's playing a game of chicken with the west and winning.

Have you read his recent announcement? He warned every foreign nation not to meddle or else:

> To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside - if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history,’ he said on a television broadcast around 6am Moscow time.
Isn't Xiaomi a name brand? I mean, the name is right there: Xiaomi.

The wheels for this have been in motion for decades. If the US tries to intervene, the right will skewer Biden. Can you imagine the headlines if Biden went to war over Ukraine???

There's never been a better time for Russia to annex it's neighbor, at least since the fall of the Soviet Union.
The conclusions in the report are more severe than your comments are presenting. I don't think this is a good forum to discuss it further though. There is another comment suggesting a clash of two vastly different safety cultures that really hits the nail on the head, and I think that even the hypothesized/speculative risk to aviation needs addressing, though you are also probably right that the aircraft industry wants cash from the telcos for a retrofit that they should pay for themselves and were willing to drag their feet assuming FAA would trump the FCC in this matter (they will). Frankly if they want digital pulse-compression radar altimeters that are going to operate even with adversarial interference, I built/am-building the most advanced matched filter in the world though it will cost a bit more than a sub-$1K High Pass Filter plugged in line with the antennae which is probably sufficient (though avionics safety requirements will probably find a way to make it $100K anyway)
Yeah, last time I tried NewPipe has no login (probably obviously).

I use YTB almost exclusively to watch my subscriptions. Without that it's kinda useless (I'm aware you can import a channel list somehow in NewPipe, but it's very inconvenient if you constantly sub/unsub stuff.)
The point I was trying to make was that the directory hierarchy isn't fundamental to how people reason about their data. That you could introduce a little UX over a KV store and those that wanted to mimic the old abstractions could continue to do so. But we could also change the abstractions (like the blog post says) to something like tags, and it wouldn't be any lower or higher level, compared to what we have now.

> Now that the mini CO2 tanks are standardized, you can just take your empties to the supermarket and swap them for filled ones at dirt cheap prices.

How much do they cost where you are? I swap mine for $15 each, which seems like an incredible markup. Bed Bath and Beyond coupons bring it closer to $10, but I assume the true cost is 1/10 of that. Can these be bought elsewhere?
Your cricket is world class though ^_^
Sure, but two things. No one is contesting their Central Asia client states that's in their pocket --we're not trying to expand NATO there... and two they have a special affinity to Slavic peoples due to culture. (they treat them like an "ex-" with a certain amount of jealousy.

HD-DVD was inferior. BluRay could do 25GB per layer while HD-DVD could only do 15GB.

The major factor was that Sony shipped a BluRay player in the PlayStation 3. When HD-DVD was discontinued, Sony had sold 10.5M PlayStation 3 units while there were only 1M HD-DVD units. Sony spent a lot of money subsidizing the PS3 and its BluRay player, but a 10:1 ratio of PS3s to HD-DVD players won the market (and all the standalone BluRay players just made the ratio worse).

As the PS3 sold, rental chains like Blockbuster decided to go with BluRay exclusively - and at the time Blockbuster was the largest rental chain and really powerful. Netflix also moved exclusively to BluRay. As the PS3 sold, Target decided to move exclusively to BluRay. Once the PS3 had started selling way more units than all HD-DVD players combined, everyone started moving away from HD-DVD which just reinforced its decline.

BluRay won because Sony was willing to suffer pretty big losses on PS3 sales to push the format.
NATO aircraft doing what? If they shoot at Russian forces then the Russians will shoot back, and then we're in an escalating war.

I think Putin wants to escalate beyond Ukraine and conquer at least parts of the Baltic countries. Hopefully NATO will stand firm against that.

Al-Queda attacked New York city unprovoked. Not an invasion and not defending US, just that it was not American expansionism that led to invasion of Afghanistan. US has no interest in imperialism.
Russia considers NATO's presence at its borders a national threat.

On one hand - NATO protects its members from our possible aggression, on the other hand Russia sees NATO's assets (lets say AA systems) as means to degrade country's capabilities to respond in case of attack from the West (no matter how are the chances of such an attack).
Modern 128 bit designs are held back by trouble with heat dissipation and signal routing. Basically you need 2-8x the transistors depending on operation, and you need 4x the space or more to route it.

I don't think you need facial recognition at all. You need a robust video hash. Need a way to map videos to a perceptual space that's independent of the resolution, the exact length and the colors. Seems very doable to me. IMO the answer here is probably to use deep learning, which would likely turn out to be very effective.

This is not true.
You mean propaganda plus fear of being arrested if speaking against the king ?
> Just pointing out that there is very little any of us can actually do and getting so emotional about somebody buying shares is a little silly because what are the alternatives?

The alternative is to pause and think of the human on the other side of the screen. You might consider that perhaps while they are frantically trying to evacuate their parents from an active warzone, it might seem crass to swap trading tips to seemingly profit off their misery.

Furthermore, it might seem crass to confront them with a "What are you doing to help?" in an effort to win an internet debate. While this may seem like a distant conflict to you, it has hit close to home for many on Hacker News (and many of my colleagues at work as well).
In other words, you cheat?
> No it does mean the overhead is 280% if defined the same way as the university (overhead is calculated as percentage of non-overhead costs, not overall costs).

But he said:

> That is my billing rate to the government is 2.8 times my hourly rate as determined by my salary.

Doesn't that mean that the government pays a total of 2.8x his salary, so overhead would be 180% (+100% salary = 280% total)? Or what mistake did I make here?
This reminds me very much of the slow motion train wreck leading into WWII. Germany had to fight hard in the same kind of political way back then, too. That was obviously pre-nuke. It takes a long time to build the many (logistical, psychological, political) facets required to lead your country down this path. With or without nukes.

To answer your question, yes. A country with nukes is dominating people as much as the British empire, Romans, and Mongols did? How is that even a serious question? With military forces spread through Korea, Japan, Germany, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Poland, Lithuania, Arizona, Alaska, Dominican Republic, Cuba, you name it. From sea to shining sea, then another sea and another sea.
Consider the situation "counter = counter + get_value()". That also can be reasoned about in terms of smaller operations, but not more coarse operations, because the user could have just written the single operation.

We wouldn't expect this to be atomic, because the get_value() function could do tons of things, and we don't expect all that to be atomic. It doesn't make sense to call something atomic just because the user wrote it.

Not sure why the existence of a volunteer militia indicates a general unwillingness to fight for the government?

The US also has plenty of volunteer militias, yet I doubt that could be seen as an indicator for Americans unwillingness to fight for their country.

Rapid tournament, not a big deal.
The US moto is the same as that of the fictional character Peacemaker: "I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it."
I'm in Germany now, and pay 5-6 euros to swap at the supermarket. If costs near you are that high, it's probably because the distribution channels haven't reached a high enough volume yet.

Compared to $30 for a 20lb canister, it's of course still expensive, but then again you also don't need such a heavy up-front investment or bulky equipment.
I've always wondered: how is this different from packages like Dataset (https://dataset.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or IDEs that offer ways of doing things like Jetbrains' Datagrip?

Now that you mention it and taking a closer look, it does look like one, but when I first took the look at the site my brain said "it's a guy".

That’s probably also true, doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Lysenkoism was popular from 1933-1965. Who says it won't take us that long to learn the lessons of defunding the police? Or Critical race theory.
Sure, but what Russia was constantly telling NATO is that while Russia respects other countries' desire to join NATO - Russia believes that NATO should not allow those countries to join.

Russia does not care about Ukraine's self-determination as long as NATO's systems are not there.
First, it's not exactly clear that those ethnic Russian regions wish to be ruled by the Russian state. Second, Russia is in the midst of a full-blown invasion of all of Ukraine, and Putin has claimed that all Ukrainians are in fact Russians:

Rust does not have AtomicU128, for some reason. Need to look into that.
I'm neither Russian or American but you're seeing through tinted glasses.

Russia's direct interference through social media over the past decade has paled in comparison to... what, indirect interference of supporting a neighbor who wants independence?

If everyone around you would rather associate with the other side of the planet, maybe you have to take a look at yourself. Russia is not equipped for such introspection and self-driven reform. Joining NATO is not remotely equivalent to annexation.
In the recent video where Putin gathered some officials to discuss intel, you could see them stuttering and fumbling their speech. It seems Putin is pulling all the strings and that even higher ranks are puppets. Potentially a lever.

Azov was folded into the military proper as a precondition of securing western military aid, as the Ukrainian government needed to be able to show proper chain of command to get help and Azov wanted the shells, so they came to an agreement to integrate.

But these hardcore Azov guys are anarchists by nature and a lot of them hate the Ukrainian government as much as they hate the separatists, so they still act independently without having to answer to the government. Some did eventually just merge into the military.

Putting a number on the size today of Azov is difficult because of how the two melded together. Some people joined Azov because they just wanted to help fight and didn’t care about the neo nazi stuff. Some are true believers. But one thing for certain is that it’s not some fringe group that exists on Wikipedia only.

Yesterday we'd have laughed at this. Today we get it.
Files seem like a pretty natural abstraction: a blob of data, an array of bytes that forms a self-contained unit. There's something that seems natural about that. You can attach all kinds of meta-data to files, but then you run into the issue of which types of tags people care about or are supported by different OSes, etc. The idea of hierarchically separating files, and giving them names, and also types in the form of the extension, seems like a pretty good system to me.

In terms of tagging files, I feel like, with good machine learning, that can be done automatically. No human effort required. You could just search all your files with a vague natural language description of what you're looking for. Kind of like tagging webpages... Does a good search engine even care about your tags?

Right, just "separatists" who happened to start fighting to expand Putin's empire and give him the region that supplies Russia's military with raw materials. From 2014,

> Nevertheless, following its actions in Crimea, there is justified concern that Russia could now aim to annex eastern Ukraine. Unlike on the Crimean peninsula, there is not a large majority here who feel like they belong to Russia - and only about a quarter of the population of the east overall are ethnic Russians.

https://www.dw.com/en/the-significance-of-the-donbas/a-17567...

Trump did not want to stand up to Putin, so the early work to annex eastern Ukraine didn't make the news very often. Trump had no response to it.
Even if that were true, it doesn't justify annexing a country and erasing a nation.
And it looks like that makes it easier for the devs to support switching layouts, but AFAICT wlroots doesn't directly expose anything I can tweak as a user. I tried searching the web, hoping it read an environment variable or such, but couldn't find anything. Did I miss something?

(And as a general comment, even if wlroots did make this uniformly work, that only helps for compositors that use wlroots; with X, I could just tell the X server to switch layouts and it would work with every single window manager in existence.)

I know there were issues about the genocides in the Balkans in the 1990s. But, in that case, he wasn't saying that there weren't massacres taking place -- he was saying that the US was selectively engaging for geopolitical reasons, not humanitarian ones.
> This rubbish theory only gets pushed so that Trump supporters can (continue to) believe that Trump was unfairly maligned

As a non-American who is passionately anti-Trump, and also as someone who at the outset strongly believed the 'establishment' narrative of a zoonotic leap from captive animals in a food-market, I have to say I'm mind-blown by this response, which hadn't occurred to me at all, and which isn't obvious to people living outside the United States.

This extreme politicization of the issue certainly helps to explain something that's completely mystified me: which is why the ever-increasing detailed and thorough documentation of the purely scientific evidence favoring the lab-leak scenario just doesn't get any coverage in the generally left-wing papers I tend to read, needing to follow links to The Telegraph or The Daily Mail (sites I never otherwise visit).

In any case, following an interest in the purely scientific aspects of the origins of covid, and reading scientific papers over the last couple years, and the articles that make them more accessible to a general public (I'm not an epidemiologist), I'm now completely convinced that a run-of-the-mill lab escape is by far the most likely explanation.

Thanks for helping to clarify why we may never know for sure.
> What is not unusual to see is that front line firefighters will be reporting a wind travelling in toward the front of the fire, and that this completely contradicts what predictive fire behaviour reports suggest. What they are seeing is that the fire is creating a convective updraft which necessitates an indraft that is probably contrary to regional wind direction.

Considering that "wind" is how we describe "air moving", they're not wrong, they're just looking at it from a very different scale to you.
