Every Russian general is born with the ambition of driving his tanks to the Atlantic Ocean. And that won't be much different from what Tsar Alexander did in 1812/1813 with similiar meager resources.

So yes, Putin probably is considering this scenario at least in his wet dreams...

And it seems like largest country in Europe (by area), with 200 thousand strong army, tons od most sophisticated NATO weapons and 8 years of combat experience have collpased like a house of cards within 24 hours. Do you think Polish or German army will do any better? Or does Russia have better opinion of these armies? So, yes this is possible now... Thereotically...

And history knows larger miscalculations...

I do not know why you are downvoted and flagged. You are perfectly correct, the point of non-proliferation policy is exactly to prevent more states from acquiring such weapons. The agency and rights of non-nuclear owning nations have no bearing here.

Ask HN: Need your help determining the market value of my business
Hey HN,

I'm looking for advice on calculating the market value for my business.

At the beginning of this year, my partner and I decided to part ways and sell our business that started as a side project in October 2013. Over the years we received several offers but never seriously discussed this option. Unfortunately, last year the pandemic changed our priorities. I have to mention that we live in Eastern Europe.

Let me briefly describe our biz - it's a SaaS project that has generated over $2.5 million to date. 99% of the revenue is subscription based – mainly B2B. Refunds under 1%. Everything was processed through PayPal from the beginning - same account.

The problem is, we never incorporated a company for this project. So everything was done in our name.

How can I figure out our market worth?

Thanks for your help!

Edit: I have no experience selling a business, that's why I ask.
It's already happening a lot more than most of us expected. Officials, celebrities and normal people out in the street.

A sham? Unless you argue that most people are buying property under false pretenses, especially given the public nature of property taxes, the expectation would be that those purchasing land do so understanding the existence of on-going financial duties. <- There is no meaningful alternative to being scammed, the government has a monopoly on said sham, (taxation) and violence to enforce it.

You're right, everyone knows it's a sham, that doesn't make it NOT a sham.
Disconnecting your adversary will give you at least two disadvantages: will push them to improve their own tech, and won't allow you to easily spy on them (which includes sending propaganda). Instead you should make them more dependant on your tech.

The ICC is what decides a war crime from a military action or act of war, and that takes in a lot of variables it would be difficult to account for. There'll be long investigations after this to figure things out, I'm sure. As I said in another reply, if I was a betting man, I would agree; however, I also dislike the popularization of the term war crime and just throwing it around.
I like the pattern of drop downs where you can type to filter. But I've found there isn't great UI in that it's not super obvious you can type.
For me, this is nice because I can make those companies to pay for my flights to their offices for interviews so I can visit the city. I am absolutely not going back to the office. I'll come visit their office for a day long interview to see what's up though!
Looking back into the previous era, in times like the Second World War, (mostly) all coverage of the fighting was done by war correspondents - civilian reporters who went into combat with the regular soldiers.

They are responsible for the famous picture of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima (which was actually the second flag raised, and IIRC that picture was not taken under fire).
Yeah, I'm de-googling my life as much as I can. "Only" Android left now...

I hope the people in Russian cities will be okay after this. It's one thing to denounce it from outside the country if you don't have to suffer the consequences :( . Putin's operatives are known to disappear people without a whole lot of provocation.
Wikipedia is open for editing if you think you could improve their descriptions.
The Russian fascist state runs mostly on taxpayer money. Hence, as an individual, you can contribute by not funding them.

Less money spent on Russian products = less money going to modern Nazis. It's that simple.

Most people don't really care, but if you do, there are plenty of non-Russian alternatives (which should be quite obvious).

CVE-2022-23835: A security analysis of Visual Voicemail
That's like saying no one believed Sean Spicer. If someone has an official title, they'll find a believing audience.
If 'several hundred' is, say 500 tons (not sure which definition of ton exactly there, but we'll go with the biggest one of 2240 (or a metric long ton - 1016kg).
That would put it at 508,000kg/day (or 5.08 x 10^5 kg)

If there are 365 days in a year, and 65 million years, we're talking 23.7 billion days (give or take).

So roughly, if the 'high end' estimate was always the case (who knows), and has been happening every day since 65 million years ago, we'll have lost 1.2 x 10^16 kg of atmosphere. Which is a lot of gas.

But how much gas mass is in the atmosphere?

I ran across this interesting article/paper [https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/18/6/jcli-32...], which tries to quantify the dry mass and variations caused by water vapor.

They estimate the total current mass at approximately 5.1352 ± 0.0003 × 10^18 kg

With yearly shifts in mass due to water vapor on the order of 1.2 to 1.5 × 10^15 kg.

As large as the amount of gas that has boiled off (making those assumptions), and if my math is correct, the total amount of gas is 2 orders of magnitude larger. Doing some random scribbling, I THINK it would add up to .2% of the total CURRENT amount of dry air in the atmosphere.

So not enough to make any noticeable difference.

Grilling is _under_ a hot surface. Like broiling. But when you broil you use a different pan. Or something.

Now if you want a really weird distinction: baking and roasting. Same appliance, much more similar temperatures than you might think, often only subtly different prep.

You might think, no, you "bake" things that rise or are transformed by the process, like dough. But you might also "bake" potatoes and fish. Or you might say that roasting involves oil and basting, but you might baste baked fish. Or roasting involves an open dish or tray. But often so does baking.

In this case it really is a kind of convention in English, in the same way that adjective order force is a convention.

We generally consistently use one word for a given application or a given origin of the food.

Messes with my head.

>> Or some kind of righteous peace force who is above it all, that can attack anyone who attacks anyone else, not seeing the irony in their position of attacking others who do something they don't like.

It's not about attacking someone who "do something we don't like" it's about Russia clearly breaking international laws, and behaving like an asshole. No irony here. If we can police individual citizens within a country, why not police the countries themselves?

You have to decide which do you value more: your freedom or your life. And if you answer "my life" then be prepared to be a slave for the rest of it.
I think this is a fair point. I see other comments pointing out the value in this as exploratory research. There's some middle ground here though. I think studies like would serve the lay reader and non-scientific community by including a disclaimer sentence in the abstract about not extrapolating conclusions from this. Their opening sentence does the opposite, "Soybean oil consumption has increased greatly in the past half-century", which seems to set up the reader to think about the impact to humans. This paper is written by scientists, for scientists, but the scientific community as a whole would be well advised to realize that lay readers and lay press will skim these articles, in particular the abstract, for the key takeaways.
Putin's approval rating is at 70% [0]. From [1] (referring to the invasion of Crimea):

> President Putin's approval rating among the Russian public increased by nearly 10% since the crisis began, up to 71.6%, the highest in three years, according to a poll conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research, released on 19 March.[346] Additionally, the same poll showed that more than 90% of Russians supported unification with the Crimean Republic

So it looks to me that most Russians supported the Crimea invasion. Why would it be different now? Why do you think a minority supports this?

I would imagine after this they will shut down all Russian operations. Putin is on war footing and he's not about to allow dissent for much longer.
MAD works both ways. And some European countries (like the above mentioned France) have nuclear weapons. So I don't think Putin would make it to the French coastline easily.

Ukraine should have made use of the material from the Chernobyl power plant while it had the chance. A threat of dirty bomb being delivered to Moscow would have stopped Putin. I guess their politicians are too naive and didn't consider this an option. Facing an overwhelming military power you need to improvise. Certainly Putin thought of this option hence he took the control ot the Chernobyl.
He clearly misdirected Ukrainians.

Fully agree with everything written here. I've spent way too much time window shopping different database technologies, which are varied and super interesting.

Since I have you here, what do you think about MADlib from Apache? Basic ML in SQL is really appealing - one of my objectives is to teach people analysis using SQL, and it'd be great to only need to develop that one skill (rather than "learn SQL and python"). https://madlib.apache.org/
The (exaggerated) scenario is less of an attack but thought exercise on where the line for taking action lies. I went with belligerent actions over attack or small land grabs without casualties. Escalation from NATO let's say is "NATO declares war on Russia for violating sovereignty of Poland". Next? Will NATO liquidate Russian tank columns? As long as I've been alive, neither US nor NATO have ever actively engaged a nuclear state. I think stating "NATO reacts collectively" is kind of hand-waving the reality of engaging a nuclear super-power in any kind of military engagement. It's always been a handle-with-care situation.

And no, I don't think Putin is going to try to conquer Europe (at least I hope he's not that mad). I just wonder where the line for action is and whether it's "touching NATO soil" as you imply or something much more vague and flexible once the prospect of actual war is real.
What I don't understand is how so many Russians seem surprised. Is the Russian propaganda that good?

As someone from the west, this is whole development is not surprising at all.

Even in the past week so many didn't believe it would happen. Meanwhile I've been watching the news the past week or two to see if they've invaded yet.
Even if Russia nuke a Ukraine city tomorrow I don’t think the West would get involved directly. Do you really want to fight a mad man who already used a nuke once?
Because previous process nodes are alternatives. The world doesn't stop. It just stops getting better, and there's a lot of pain as supply chains readjust to available capacity and retarget parts.
day to day no, it’s more likely you can do more on an average day at home. some days it’s really helpful to see certain people to get past a problem. in the grand scheme a team that has an empathetic relationship is going to grow more. doesn’t mean they do more, but i think the peoples skills will grow faster. and most people develop this kind of relationship better in person

Actually no. I am not obsessed with any sins at all and I am not fallen. I just can't stand hypocrisy.

"When Xi decides to invade Taiwan Guantanamo will probably still be open. Does that mean we should not do our best to keep that invasion from happening, or to make the PRC pay as high a price as feasible for their actions?"

So why not stop our hypocrisy now and close guantanamo. End our alliances with murderous psychopaths. Etc.

Then we will have more credibility, when we deal with all those other murderous psychopaths. (there are plenty of them, I know)

But when we fight one evil overloard, while supporting another one, because he side with us - how can anyone in the world really believe, we care and fight for democracy and not rather our own selfish strategic goals?

This is what I am hoping to achieve, but don't get me wrong, I have no illusions about that. Self-rightousness is as strong as it ever was.

But yes. I am fully aware that it is a privilege and it is a difference, that I can say all of this here and not over there. And I do not want to loose that right, but rather want the whole world to have that right as well. I just want to go a different path, than the usual one, which has not really worked out so far in the past.
I don't see the difference if it's just a parallel cable. Do you jam an STM32 into a USB port?

Mercenaries don’t really count.
> I think we really must have different mental models of this conversation.

It sounds like it, from what I understand, you're saying that each application would connect to a service like CloudFlare to open a tunnel to itself, right?

> What do you mean by "built-in" exactly? You mean adopted standards that are widely deployed?

No, I mean "running an application or library that knows how to open a port/tunnel". Remember that in the p2p case each computer has an externally accessible IP address, so all ports are just blocked by the firewall and the user can open them (or the application can request to have them open).

> Any device that can open a TCP connection to a remote IP address can create a tunnel, and then it's only constrained by the limitations of the tunnel provider, not by the home router, the ISP, or any software therein.

That's true, but in the p2p case, all ports are already open. You're using a firewall to block them, for security. If you want to allow programs to become connectable, you wouldn't block their ports. If you didn't, you would block them even in the tunneling case.

The point about DynDNS stands, but you still need some DNS even in the tunneling case (unless you assume that the tunnel endpoint has a static IP but your IP is dynamic, which there's no reason to assume, as it might well be the other way around).

> How would you solve the DDoS problem in a network full of true p2p IPv6 devices?

Same as you'd solve it in the tunneling case, you'd use a service that can absorb the DDoS. There's nothing that makes a tunnel inherently DDoS-resistant, it's just that one of the providers you can use for tunneling (CloudFlare) can provide you with anti-DDoS services.

I think we've mixed up too many things in the discussion. The main benefit I see in p2p vs tunneling is that tunneling hides your IP, but p2p lets you choose the port numbers (you can't choose whatever port you want for your tunnel, because all users have to share an IP). All the other features seem equal to me in both cases.

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine will be the first war to fully play out on social media. There will be no possibility of controlling the information."
...it has long ago become apparent that when you can't shut it off, you can drown it out with a greater quantity of fake. Not saying Russia will bother to do that here, but there certainly is a possibility.

"And with social media, artificial intelligence and Internet-enabled crowd-sourcing, the intelligence will belong to the global public. And that changes everything."
...sounds very much like things I recall from the late 90's about how the internet would make dictatorships impossible because they relied on censorship. Dictatorships, uh, managed to survive. It would be awesome if ubiquitous smartphones "changed everything" about war. But it seems unlikely.

The amount of implied persecution in this comment makes it hard to take this seriously. The original proposals for this suggested extending the full pattern grammar to the LHS of assignments, which would have been a bad idea. Instead, and indeed as you suggest, people came up with a different proposal that hardcoded a subset of the pattern grammar into this context in order to support a majority of what people would like to use this feature for. I have a hard time believing anyone associated with the project treated anyone like a simpleton at any point of the process; problems with the proposal were pointed out and solutions were found.
