Huh, I honestly never looked at it that way. OK, let's say I accept crypto as payments... I still need to convert it to "real" currency if I want to pay for food, housing, insurance, parts, tools, pretty much anything...

I guess that's the biggest problem with it, there's not enough people using it for "real world" transactions.
Democracy is ideal, but I’d rather see Russia utterly dependent on China than autocratic and warmongering. Russia is just 1.7% of global GDP, China already 14%. Russia is driving the rest of Eastern Europe into NATO and towards Western influence, so it may net out. It will also rapidly drive renewable energy investment and growth.
Censorship does not have to be public. Private companies can and do censor things all the time. They have that right. Freedom of speech is freedom from government censorship, not private censorship.
There would be a point in your words, if only Namecheap wouldn't refuse to reimburse me money for terminated service!
Oh ya, like I totally dont get the relationships going on in asia. Pakistan, who typically hates Russia, is supporting them? China has a no limit alliance that apparently has limits. The 3 of them are seemingly dunking on India. India used to be good friends with Russia. Then you have border issues between India and China.
Best of luck to you, I think there is a targettable niche that could utilize this.

Having thought quite a bit about the search space, I think a whitelist approach is going to be the next big search thing, because advertising and bs sites have corrupted SEO too far.

I'm reminded of the site indexer websites in the early days of the internet. Curation if done properly (based on quality of content and not certain other factors that currently play too heavy a role in the seo algo black boxes) seems to be how we adapt to the current information tsunami we are all dealing with.

I think a long time ago I decided I would even pay for such a service, just like I am willing to pay for a good new source (FT for me, not cheap, but worth it). Im not positive the 10$ mark is low enough but I hope for the general landscape it is.

Just dont forget to keep dontbeevil more than a catchphrase. In particlar, please be transparent with what user data you collect and how you use it.
It's not unreasonable that this could happen. SteamDeck, a full Linux PC, has exceeded expectations and many parts of Linux that were seen lacking only 5 years ago have caught up dramatically.

This isn't to say that competition has surged already (it hasn't) but Windows isn't in the bulletproof fortress it was in in 2009.
Then they (the west) would have to pay a higher price. Thats the weakness with capitalism if you have a choice between paying more or less for the same thing with the same quality less is always better.
That's just pro Ukraine propaganda rehashed by Western press to keep up the morale. While admirable, this will result in disbelief when major cities do fall. Its not easy to win against enemies that don't care about the lives of their own soldiers. They want Ukraine (or at least major portions of it including resource rich east and the coastal areas) and they have the staying power (despite crazy articles proposing that war is costing costing Russia 20 billion usd per day).
There are some significant asterisks

The first is that it's not that EU laws are more important, it's that by ratifying the EU treaties the members have ceded the power to act in some areas to the EU as a whole.

This applies uniformly to all member states, Germany included.

The issue that can arise is when there's a disagreement on whether or not a specific power was ceded or not, the problem being that on the one side we have the national constitutional (or equivalent) courts which are the ultimate authority for the member in question, while on the other we have the ECJ which is defined as the ultimate authority in what the Treaties say

What you're probably referring to is the recent case in which the German ConstCourt said that a judgement by the ECJ was incorrect and adopted its own, it was then resolved by some judicial diplomacy. That issue remains and it's arguably inevitable whenever multiple levels of government share power.

A further asterisk is that this is a freedom of expression issue, which is handled at three distinct levels.

At the EU level the law is likely to be found partially in contradiction with the Charter of Fundamental rights (which only applies to EU law and EU institutions or national institutions executing EU law), I don't think the broadcasting ban in itself would be but I'm pretty sure that someone posting clips of RT for instance would be found protected by the charter

However there's also a national level since the EU doesn't actually have any own enforcement, therefore the individual countries will have to adopt actual punishments and enforcement mechanisms which are then subject to respecting the national freedom of expression requirements (fundamental rights are generally of constitutional significance, so they're at least equal in precedence to EU treaties), technically the EU commission could start an infringement procedure if it deems the actions taken unsatisfactory and that process ultimately ends at the ECJ, however while the ECJ could tell the member state it has to effectively ignore their own court (which the member state can't do anyway) but since that would lead to an unresolvable constitutional crisis the ECJ is unlikely to pick that hill to die on and it has a pretty convenient clause in its mandate saying "we will respect each country's constitutional identity" which would be easily applicable here

Finally there's the ECHR, which is another international court, integrated in the member states legal system by its own treaty (confusingly the acronym is the same for the court and for the treaty) with the sole purpose of serving as a baseline for fundamental rights. The EU is not a party to the ECHR treaty (accession stalled) but all of its members are, so if any member were challenged in this court and said "we're violating article 10 because of this EU law" the ECHR would say "cool story, don't care" (if it finds a breach). This is not immediately a precedent for other countries, but others would likely file similar motions

More realistically however this is just going to be interpreted to prevent the sanctioned entities from setting up shells companies to evade it
there was a bike share in the 1940s? that's pretty amazing
Good luck with your research, but how are you going to discern the difference between high and low level languages? I really do believe that you would have found very similar results for C++/Rust/C vs Python/matlab/java/javascript, etc. given similar quality of third party libraries that the project depends on.
Wait, renouncing citizenship isn't just signing some documents? WTF?
Yes, exactly. If we are talking about media in general I can think of only very few examples that should be banned (like CP). I don't need anyone to decide what I'm allowed or not allowed to consume. If I want to study russian propaganda or american propaganda or "Mein Kampf" than that's what I should be able to do--without any censor.
Ha. Sorry for that. What I meant to say is the articles I've read have tended to point out the possibility of negative repercussions to the West. To the degree that I can't find any I recall reading that haven't.
Thank you for asking this and This is a very good question. The way we are building Requestly is to be used within teams, test different case-cases, have them on cloud and use them again & again without setting up everything from scratch.
Collaboration is an essential feature which is missing in this space.
To give you an example - A developer working in E-Commerce domain has mocked an API to return empty slots for a cart, (s)he'd like to share it with the team so that anyone in the team can use the same configuration while making any changes in those files.
Now, Think of a Repository of Rules available in your company when you have to test different scenarios. When you work on a particular component, you can just enable different configurations and test them out easily without having to know how to set those configurations up.
I believe this really improves onboarding and efficiency in testing your code.
That's true. (Although what's with "old-timer"? Most of the mech/aero/etc. engineers I know are under 35.) I'm sort of the bridge between the software and hardware folks where I work, and nobody understands what anyone else does. Which is fine - that's what specialization is. The difference I find is that most hardware folks are at least aware of that, while almost all programmers I've met outside of aerospace don't even know the basic engineering curriculum exists (as exemplified by the comment that started this thread).
They don’t even sell windows 11 upgrade “lotto tickets” at retail stores anymore - why?
I find myself uncomfortably on your side of the argument, against the popular sentiment here.

Russia is bombing Ukrainian communication towers, spreading malware, coordinating attacks, in an active unprovoked invasion.

From my perspective, I see one country invading another country saying "If you try and stop us then we'll nuke the world."

That is not how nuclear deterrence has worked in the past and if it not challenged then it will become the norm. Call their bluff. Hope that it is a bluff, because if it isn't, then it only will delay the inevitable until we are all in a worse bargaining place.

To let evil flourish while you sit and do nothing is the same as doing evil. If we all die, then let us die doing what is right, in good conscience, protecting the vulnerable, upholding civilized order.
It is more complicated obviously. However any side that initiated military force against another country should be condemned. This should be plain and simple.

Every conflict has sides and perspectives. We should put a certain veil of "I dont care about your side anymore" once military force is used. Otherwise we promote military force as a valid response.
Because the stories they tell line up (generally) with non-government controlled news media.
[how is it free speech if "russia today" is banned by youtube or facebook or twitter]

Here's the thing about free speech in America that people miss in these arguments. The U.S. government can neither compel nor deny your right to say or platform your speech as long as it isn't a call to act as a threat of violence or hate speech. YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are private companies and don't need to platform anyone they don't want to, technically. They might be sued for discrimination, I guess, but not for infringement on your right to free speech. They aren't viewed as a "public square", as they aren't funded by the government.
Apple Music has a pornography problem regardless.

I used to (stupidly) browse through Apple Music's "New Music" just to be presented with images that I wouldn't want shown on my TV if I happened to be casting in the living room nor at work.

IMO, there should be a filtered setting that blurs photos that might be in any ways explicit. We label the songs... why not the albums?
Is this how software development in corporations really works? I'm not a software developer, but I've contributed to some large open source projects and I thought it would be similar. Maybe with the difference that the issues would be raised by a Q/A team or other people in the company instead of random people across the internet.

Natural gas is a big deal, but so is food; isn't Ukraine a major exporter of wheat? Crimea got Russia the port access they wanted, with few consequences, and this is a time when the West appeared particularly weak.
Thanks for the insight, yes, the EU is pushing for all job listings to include some salary information (https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1495790443900334080). I'll keep this in mind!
I've accepted that the internet wants my data and have been using Brave for a few years now. Seems like a fair compromise, and their adblocking is pretty decent, even if I get to put up with their little pop ups now and then for BAT tokens.

I have it set to maximum ad rate, and just ignore them mostly. They are sort of intrusive, but also not really. Depends on what you are doing. I've had them pop up in the middle of working on some word file or excel sheet; but I also get my discord notifications the same way as well...

They don't interrupt gameplay though... usually? Depends on if you have a browser open while playing something in windowed mode I think. At that point you might get one or two popping through due to the browser being open. That sort of thing.

Again, seems like a fair compromise to me. People onboard with BAT get paid one way or the other, and I get to deal with less ads overall. (Seriously, it's a chasm of epic proportions the comparison between before and after.)

Youtube works fine, most websites work fine, and if ever one doesn't want to play nice; you either find something else or just turn off Brave shield temporarily. I've had to do this from time to time with banking for instance, since it was blocking something related to the banks log in process. lol. So yeah, it's not perfect by any means. But it's a far cry better than the others so far in my opinion.

And for those who may want to reply with something about how X browser is worse or better than Brave; that's nice but honestly at this point I don't really care anymore. I have Firefox on standby for those few situations where chromium based browsers just don't want to work, and guess what, that's basically all of them now; Brave included.

So far, this combo has fared me pretty well. If I could get something that does what Brave does even better without the crypto stuff included, I probably would use it instead. But that's probably going to end up being a heavily modified version of Firefox or Chromium somehow; and thus my earlier point about being 'good enough'.
It would be rightful, if only Namecheap wouldn't deny me reimbursement for their move. =( They're just getting away with the money.
Talking War and Market Volatility with a Giant of Economics
While the idea is a noble one, this is not going to be a viable option.

Let's look at the opening negotiating positions. Russia wants the effective end of Ukraine as a sovereign state. Ukraine... doesn't. Well, so much for finding compromise there.

The goal of war is to make the situation such that one side realizes it can't achieve its political aims. Here again, both sides have reasons to be hopeful. From Russia's perspective, an operation that wins successful control of much of the country would hopefully make Ukraine realize that its existence as a sovereign state is already de facto impossible, so it might as well commit to that in a peace treaty. But Ukraine can point out that the war has not been going well for Russia, and the longer the war drags on, the less likely Russia will be able to reach that culminating point. Wars can simmer on for decades without concluding if things stalemate--the Korean War is 70 years long without a peace treaty and still ticking.

If your concern is that nuclear weapons would be involved, then this initiative is even more useless. There is no geopolitical reason for Russia to be firing nukes (and NATO isn't going to militarily intervene in large part to avoid giving anybody a reason to fire nukes), so if those start coming, Russia is already not acting with concern for geopolitics, so the foremost geopolitical expert is utterly useless here.
And in a market where developer skills are in incredibly high demand and a new job can be lined up in a couple of weeks, such workplaces should cease to exist due to lack of developers.
The Digital Yuan is a digital currency but not a cryptocurrency. It works similarly to a bank account except instead of having an account with the bank, you have one directly with the government, although currently all e-RMB accounts are attached to traditional bank accounts.
Personally I'll never go back to the office except for the occasional meeting. The benefit I get to my health and well being from not commuting, is far too great. I also think that offices are just a power trip by the company leaders. They get off by walking through an office full of people. Its just another crappy part of being an employee, suffering through the command and control structure of business.

Gotta say. I'm not a big fan of the new design. Now it looks like every other half-done website. I miss the old headline font. It was so legible.

How did consumer goods and food distribution actually happen in (commun|social)ist economies? As in, the last mile experience as a consumer?
Who said “muh Russia evil”?

You’re infantilising Putin as a lil smol bean who’s feeling really scared, and reaching back in time for supporting evidence and finding conflicts that happened with totally different contexts and ignoring or hand-waving away anything that might contradict this. I think this is a mistake.

Here’s what I think is going on, we have had a number of controversial recent wars where US and British (and various allies) were categorically, undeniably in the wrong. There was a media frenzy during those conflicts which was used to manipulate popular opinion in favour of these conflicts, so many of us are now mistrustful of when we get a sense this sort of thing is happening. There is now a popular push for US and allies to be more involved in an ongoing conflict which is getting a lot of attention in the media. It is instinctive and natural to assume we are being manipulated once more and to not want to get caught up in it. We probably are to some extent, so it is right to be mistrustful and take some things with a pinch of salt. But many people are overcorrecting - saying that not just should we not start WW3 (which is a sensible position), but that this is actually mostly our fault (which is a stretch). And starting with that belief people have had to work back to find something to support it. With the tit-for-tat nature of geopolitics mixed with our continents extensive history of horrific warfare you can probably paint any of the former great powers as the source of all evil in many modern conflicts today if you want to (in some cases you’d be right too).

In this case I think you’re wrong though. In one respect the situation is complex in that there’s no clear path out of it. But it’s also very simple in that there is one very very clear aggressor who has initiated a bloody conflict on flimsy grounds (in fact his stated goal was “denazifying” Ukraine which none of you guys have mentioned) and I think anyone being proudly contrarian about it is going to feel a bit silly about it when the dust settles.
it won't be a matter of trusting one over the other; smart thing banks will do is register accounts with as many payments systems as are available, in order to mitigate unforeseen future risk.
> maybe we should think about the need for western unity more broadly than the Ukraine crisis.

I think that is shaping up right now. This whole thing is bigger than Ukraine and Russia in the sense that it's really about autocracy vs. democracy. Forces in America like Peter Thiel, who say that they “no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible”, would love nothing more to set up an autocratic regime here where they are in charge, the way Putin has control in Russia, or Xi has control in China. 2016-2020 saw much of the political establishment here in the US side with authoritarian ideals, to the point where the President and Senators were even parroting Russian state propaganda straight from the Kremlin. There's a whole lot of people here in America who believe what Putin is doing is smart and savvy, and they would love nothing more to have the kind of unilateral power that he has, but with the American government, economy, and military at their whim. There are groups in Germany, France, and the UK who have the same feeling about democracy. This is truly the test of our generation.
How does not being around other people make you your "most authentic" self? We are only human through others. Every word you've ever spoken, every thought you've ever had, is codified in a language that was created over hundreds of thousands of years by people attempting to communicate. Are you anything without that language? It is a description of how you think.

I wish it wasn't so popular for people in tech with mental issues to project them onto everyone else, instead of looking at the early family life that made them. Your parents failed if you are so afraid of the other. It is not everyone else's fault that they don't hate people.
probably not but there might be a therapy with similar effects and fewer side effects

Ask HN: Best Way to Keep Savings
What do you recommend as best way to keep savings in order to prevent economic crashes that might arise after the consequences of Rusia's invasion of Ukraine.
Is it something like using e-money/digital banking apps like Wise, Revolut, etc. enough? (keep money in different currencies which translates in accounts within different banks within different regions?)
Are you concerned about having so much overhead for such a small company?

That’s a lot of expensive offices. I get that venture money is cheap right now, but with upcoming tightening there’s reason to suspect future funding rounds might not be so easy. Are you going to be stuck in a place where you have to chase hypergrowth even when it doesn’t make sense for the business?

Notion is a fine product, but there is a lot of competition (little or no pricing power) and little to no network effect (it is very easy to switch to other providers).

What are the 400 other people doing? Sales?
As someone said before - not attacking Ukraine would have cost Russia exactly zero rubles.
Did you work at FB before Google? I wonder if age and family is a confounding factor here. I've lost touch with several friends I made when I was younger as they've prioritized parenting above friendship. I have no kids so I am basically persona non grata (except for the occasional IM). That's a fine choice for them, of course, but it definitely contributed to a reduction in events held outside of work hours.
thanks for this subthread =)
A pivot to Asia is a attempting to weaken the Chinese economy through military encirclement and the threatening of maritime trade routes to allow the US to have greater leverage on China which is now estimated to be the greatest threat to US hegemony. It would also facilitate a possible future defence of Taiwan.
My laptop is 32 bit. I replaced the hard drive with an SSD. Thing runs well except for some minor compatibility issues since some software is only being released for 64 bit now.
Could you compare Requestly with Proxyman in terms of mobile debugging capabilities? Proxyman has especially well developed flow for installing certificates that allow the proxying without having to change the app's source code. I have not see other apps match that and it is incredibly helpful for only semi-technical QA workers who might not always have a dev team willing to integrate random SDKs only to make their life easier. The only problem with Proxyman is that randomly, its local proxy server may stop being reachable from the phone on the same network. I don't know why this happens.
Reviewing Flippa Website for Sale (Smallhousedecor.com)
The haphazard nature of Windows features is always bizarre. Windows in tablet mode still can't tell when the user has tapped on a text box and forces the user to manually open the onscreen keyboard. This from a company that forced a functionless Lock Screen that must be clicked past to get to the login screen onto desktop users just because smartphones were popular and smartphones have one.
That's not a bug, it's just bureaucracy. Wait 6 months and refresh.
