> how is this different from cuban missile crisis [?]

I'll assume this is a honest good faith question, so I'll give an actual (although short) answer by listing just three notable differences between the two situations:

1. Reason Placing of nuclear arsenal vs ???: the Cuban missile crisis started when the USSR started to move nuclear missiles to Cuba. In contrast, in the Russian invasion of Ukraine there was no movement of NATO nuclear missiles to Ukraine, in fact, there are no current concrete plans for Ukraine to even join NATO. And more importantly, NATO already capitulated to Russia in this exact regard by not placing nuclear weapons in countries that are already members if they are too close to Russia (E.g. Poland). So to summarize, the Cuban missile crisis started because USSR was advancing nukes to Cuba, and was averted when the USSR capitulated and canceled plans to send nukes; while the Russian invasion of Ukraine started by reasons non-related to nukes, and NATO already made the nuke capitulation, not placing nukes in Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania (and definitely not placing nukes in Ukraine, which is not even a member).

2. Blockade vs Invasion: When the Cuban missile crisis started, the USA didn't launch a full scale assault on Cuba with boots on the ground and bombardment of major Cuban cities, it didn't kill Cuban military and civilians alike. Instead the USA just instituted a blockade. I agree that a blockade is also an act of war, but there is a big big difference in level of escalation.

3. Back down back to previous status quo vs down back to anexation: In the Cuban missile crisis, a back down by Cuba and the USSR meant the return of the previous status quo of a Cuba without nukes but still free and still hostile to the USA. It didn't include a regime change, breaking of the alliance between Cuba and USSR, or subjugation of Cuba to the USA. Cuba continued being a USSR aligned state to the end, and its government continues independent to this day. On the other hand, if Ukraine backs down, it won't be to the previous status quo, a back down by Ukraine means the current country ceases to be, Russia is aiming at a regime change with Ukraine becoming a vassal territory of Russia (or broken into many vassal territories). Could you imagine what would be the result of the Cuban missile crisis if the USA demands where that Cuba became a USA territory like Porto Rico?

So yes, Ukraine was told to not back out, because backing out means annexation by a dictatorship and the death of the democratic country of Ukraine. Not a compromise most Ukrainians are willing to take.
What sticks to me here is the high saturation levels. GBC screens were not particularly bright or saturated compared to modern displays, so if you want to capture the visual feel of GBC you need to look at the physical screen instead of just frame captures of the pristine digital data.
Oil is fungible. Oil companies purchase, I assume, based on what they need and the cost to acquire. There’s a lot of oil in n America, but it’s not always where the refineries are (or accessible for export). If they need to “fill” a refinery in Texas then Alberta crude might net out as more expensive as a tanker from somewhere else.
Euh, What ?

Your model serving code (likely a python installation and a few libs to answer HTTP requests, like FastAPI, Pydantic, etc...) lives in your docker image, and their installation are documented in the Dockerfile. This is likely ~10-20 lines and about 500MB for a "standard" python installation.

Then, on container startup, your model-serving-app collects the latest model from an external artifact repository. This step usually belong in an init container if you use Kubernetes.

Finally, the app starts and begin serving requests with its in-memory model.

The size of the running container scales linearly with the model size, and the image size stays "small" (for a python installation). You also gain fast auto-update mechanism where your app just need a container restart to fetch the latest model.

This works on laptops and raspberry pis.
I don't see any obvious links to mobile debugging in the features list or the FAQ. I see you mention an SDK here in the comment, but is there any links to docs on this?

A common mistake around that kind of statement is that people infer that it means actually going to an agricultural lifestyle and just any other farmer and hanging the keyboard for good.

In practice, they'll start automating/building/designing new things after a few weeks. It's not a mindset that you can easily escape. They'll build a greenhouse and think about how cool it would be to setup automated watering, controlled airflow, autofeeders, etc... These things are doable for cheap. They absolutely won't stop being engineers, they'll just be engineers working on a different set of problems.
Neurons and muscles are electrically active, so an external electric field can weakly polarize a cell, and thereby alter its response to ongoing activity.

They're not magnetically active, but moving conductors in a magnetic field produce current, so it's not wildly implausible. Indeed, if you were a crab getting unexpectedly stimulated, sitting still would be one way to make it stop!
A word of advice (offtopic, sorry): your text loses credibility because you repeat the link https://peaceagreement.org/ 4 times. It comes across as spammy and gets in the way of your story. You should have that link once at the top of your thread. (The other link is ok, since it's pointing to a different page.)

You can edit your text above, or I can edit it for you and fix the formatting to fit HN conventions a bit better (I'm an admin here.) If you want me to do that, let me know.
This seems pretty silly. There are plenty of people who will outright rule out anything below 200, or 250, or 300. None of them will apply in this scenario.
Many companies do in the sense that you can often find out a range from the recruiter although the information isn't usually published in the ad. There's some push in certain states and countries to change this but I'm not that convinced that it's a significant/positive change. I guess we'll see.

If you need it for research, just about any dataset you collect will be biased in some way - you just need to be aware of how it's biased for your analysis.
They still keep that records.
During the spanish civil war they had better data than the goverment.
Oh please, the same happened in the US after 9/11, and we all rolled with it. Cut the free speech nonsense, we're (as in big tech) not enforcing it either.

That's weird. Compensation is one of the most important factors to attract talent. I'm sure they miss a lot of qualified candidates with this strategy.

Yes, until you reach the 9th buttonhole, but you've already used up all the buttons.
Maybe the solution to that for now is to use a fake, AI generated photo from https://thispersondoesnotexist.com or some other service.

Hey HN!

We just went live on Product Hunt with my side-project turned full-time project Habitual Money!

It’s a personal finance app that makes it easy to track and categorize your spend across your Amazon, Venmo and daily transactions.

We enable you to personalize and automate how you manage your money with a custom smart-rule engine.

We like to think of it as Superhuman for your finances!

Would love your feedback on the app!
Yep. I was quite impressed by how mine appeared to stick bridges in logical positions. Then I noticed one of them only got halfway across the river...
I tried doing something similar for another game (fully explore and dump the dialogue tree of VA-11 Hall-A), and also encountered the state explosion problem. What helped was a data structure which allows storing very large sets of states, storing all possible outcomes of a program's execution efficiently (or at least more efficiently than naively). It exploits that any particular step in a program's execution reads and writes only a limited set of variables, which means that we can execute that step once only for each set of values the read variables may have, passing through all possibilities for the values of the remaining variables in one go. Perhaps it could be useful here as well.

Ask HN: How do you organize great bookmarks?
Having stumbled upon some great articles about marketing, software, funding and other interests I've realized that I have no great way of organizing these resources. The best I've got is a jumbled mess of bookmarks, with no notes, I rarely look through.

I ideally want a system that is great for personal resources in which I can add notes, personal thoughts and findings and that is easily shareable with teams.

How are you guys managing the resources you stumble upon? Have you found a super-bookmarking system, and if so which one (or which combination of apps)?
I had an eye opening moment about how the press covers Donald Trump’s statements. Just a few days ago on a podcast Donald Trump said “ Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful”

And now there are several articles from major publications implying he genuinely thinks it is wonderful.

“As a rule, the number of countries where leading officials see the invasion of Ukraine as "wonderful" is quite small.” -msnbc

” Trump has long expressed admiration for Putin, and this week described his war strategy in Ukraine as "wonderful" and "genius." -Yahoo

Interesting thing is, if you listen to the podcast audio Trump is obviously being sarcastic. Have you ever responded to bad news by saying “Oh that’s great” and then had someone literally interpret your statement as you thinking the bad news was actually great? If these journalists had a modicum of integrity they’d interpret him with context and understand that was sarcasm.

I don’t think this will actually cause your opinion of Trump to change, but I’m stunned at how easy it is to warp the perception of the man and how he talks.
This is so plainly obvious these days that I can't help but ask, what the Russian elites' goal even is from a "grand strategy" POV. Do they really hate the West so much that they're willing to destroy their country's long term strategic positioning for the sake of being so visibly anti-West? It's like they literally took all that early-2000s rhetoric about "rouge states which hate us for our freedom" at face value and thought delivering on it would be a great idea. It's hard to come to terms with such seemingly irrational behavior.
I worked for a company that went bankrupt due to sudden massive fraud using stolen credit cards on PayPal, that all went to chargeback which also inflicted a $20/chargeback fee from PayPal. They were something like $6000 in debt to PayPal in chargebacks and fees when they just folded.

PayPal does not protect you from stolen cards, at least they'd didn't back then (5 years ago maybe?)
This was a predictable outcome. Cutting off SWIFT access forced Russia to CIPS. Where does this lead? Strengthening CIPS with this move surely weakens the dollar's reserve status globally.

Is easy to blame the wish of people for this (and IS true), but the major point is this:

A enterprise NEEDS ALL.

I work in this niche (mostly for small companies), and what I see for this past +25 years is that even the most "small" of all companies have a HUGE array of needs, apps, data to work, laws to comply, demands of suppliers AND their customers (that RECURSIVELY add bloat!), both ancient, current, modern, and next-gen tech in their stacks.

Is like a developer that instead of being only "LAMP" + editor, is one that:

- Support Mysql, Postgres, Sql Server, Sqlite, FoxPro, Firebase, DBISAM, redis and in terrible days mongo

- N-variations of csv and alikes, json, toml, yalm, .ini, binaries formats...

- Talk to cobol, web services (SOAP, JSON, RPC, GraphQL), pipes of commands

- Deal with python, java, swift, obj-c, .net, c, c++, c#,, f#, go, rust, js, typescript, css, html

- Test on chrome, safari, firefox, ie (OLD ie)

- Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, Web

- bash, cmd, powershell

- VS Studio toolchain, LLVM toolchain, OSX toolchain, Android toolchain

- Docker, normal deploy, CI

- Sublime, VS Code, Xcode, IntelliJ, Notepad++, Notepad (as-is), nano and in very bad days, vim

- Have Hardware: M1 laptop, Lenovo Windows machine, iPhone, iPad, Android phone

WHO can be the lunatic that deals with all of this?

ME.

(if you wanna understand why I so grumpy about C, C++, Js, Android, the state of shells, terminals, rdbms, nosql, now you know)

I don't mean I fully deep dive to ALL of this, but I need to at least HAVE it or install, or touch it here and there. Is like I say:

Not matter how SMALL a "company" is, it

NEEDS ALL.
I am the complete opposite. My work productivity has went way up because I do not have people tapping me on the shoulder. I agree that working remotely isn't for everyone.
> No one on Earth could stop the Internet working inside Russia.

Without physical intervention.
I completely agree.

Coming from the tech world, a lot of my focus has been setting up processes, piece-meal outsourcing and letting employees have more autonomy. Recently we even set up a small team in the Philippines to handle data entry.

However, I've grown to appreciate his view as well over the years.

I work with recruiters often, and they're typically very open about salary ranges. I would say 60-70% of the time you can get a range in the second message - either they reach out, you ask for the range, and they give it, or you reach and ask for the range in the first message, and they give it. You get a couple old school folks who really want "a 5 minute chat" before disclosing, and they're easy to block and report.
These people have a point: everyone in the world seems to be against Russia, but nobody gives a shit when US invade other countries.

What did it cause this double standard?

My Journey Contributing to OpenFaaS So Far
> Established revolutionary movement? Navalny. Check!

No it does not. Russia back then had multiple active revolutionary groups. Some of them active and violent too - effectively terrorist groups. The serious attempts to reform Russia were going on for years at that point too.

> Food shortages? Give 'em a week.

Russia back then had food shortages for years. Not for, like a week or so.

> Global flu pandemic? Check!

I dont think that was much factor back then, but would not be now either?

> * universal suffrage * no-fault divorces * ban on ethnic discrimination * all higher education available to women * all jobs open to women

Yeah, women movement in Russia had advantage of pushing for women voting rights around the time when male voting rights were question too. But, that has zero to do with uprising.

> Which brings me back to the original point: ongoing unpopular war + hunger = end of regime.

It primary takes weak regime. Otherwise no, as pretty much any dictator hanging on power in war torn country shows. Plus, this war is nowhere near the destruction WWI caused - unless you live in Ukraine.
I think it's clearly relevant that lots of people live in conditions of terrible privation and still enjoy life and don't think of killing themselves. Your argument is that suffering is relative, which is true to some extent, but suffering is also absolute and people can adjust to new circumstances quickly.
I think it would mean cryptographic provable public ledger.
Tons of surnames were truncated or spelled phonetically over the years because not everyone wants to hand hold an immigration official through the proper spelling of a name that they can't pronounce and may have characters that aren't in the alphabet they're using. Even if you don't say "screw it, good enough" after the first few syllables you can lose resolution because there can be multiple character combos that generate the same sound in the source language but there may be fewer used for that in the destination language.
The abject failure of Russian propaganda in the West during the current conflict renders the notion of Russia having any sort of more than trivial shit stirring capability implausible, if not outright risible.
>Nope. China and Russia share an oligarchic & mercantilistic ideology. They share a common adversary. They are economically interdependent. They conduct military exercises together. The countries support each other diplomatically. One even wonders if the West's preferred outcome is regime change in Moscow that weakens the Sino-Russian relationship.

This is something I don't quite understand.

After Crimea happened, nobody really did much. 70-80% of Crimea is Russian and it probably should have been their own republic after USSR fell. However, Ukraine just kind of got to keep that land? It was ultimately a problem. It's fine for Crimea to be self-determining.

NATO has never threatened Russia. A defensive alliance is never a threat. Obviously you only find it a threat if you have plans to invade like they do. Yet China and Russia feel threatened?

Even more unusually... it is NATO who feels threatened. They are worried China and allies are about to invade various entities. Taiwan is the first one, but Japan and South Korea are immediately next. India shortly after. Australia is not long after India. Obviously the USA will be involved in all of those.

Lets also look at the tally card. Russia is the one doing the invade thing. Not anyone else. What has been the response? Everyone united against Russia's aggression. Said, 'no thanks we're out, you can go play with yourself from now on' Where's the threat from us? We ultimately dont care about who is in power. We said, nope, we are closing our borders to you and your trade. We cant ethically or morally support Russia in their actions.

Mind you, who am I? I'm nobody and know nothing. China's own actions will reveal the truth in the near future.

If China truly believes in world peace and the end of cold war mentality. Building tall is far more intelligent than invading for land. It is china's ally right now who is breaking this. It is their ally whose actions are justifying the 'west' to be so defensive and feel threatened.

You know what the west wants? They want the sanctions to work. If such powerful sanctions can cripple a nuclear power's ability to wage war. The threat to the rest of the world is that the same will happen to you if you declare war. It would mean we are post-war. People can feel safe within their borders. Nobody is threatening anyone else anymore.

Sure militaries must still exist. Civil wars, insurgencies, etc are still going to exist. United Nations peacekeeping will always be a thing in the world.

china could lead the way. recognize taiwan as a country within a country. see quebec in canada. Then hold russia up to their diplomatic commitment to ukraine. dispell the rumours they are about to invade and demand immediate peace.
You could likely benefit from having a designer look at your onboarding flow. I get it's a developer tool, but the Docs, Pricing and Homepage are completely different colour schemes (Pricing defaults to dark on my machine) and this comes across as a disjointed product (and is quite an easy win!).

Sure, it's a dev-tool and we're not as fussed about design. But the pricing page has so much going on at once that I struggled to concentrate on the product-offer. Same goes for the Homepage where I can see 7 different forms of accreditation before you explain what the product is. Have some video's, or animations showing the tool in action. I took me waaay too long to realise it wasn't a Postman offering.
I get what they were trying to do with the puddles of water in the street casting reflections but they don’t quite look right, they should make them look more like water. maybe apply dithering.
Exactly! It’s bizarre that it’s faster and more reliable to go to Autozone.

Another funny one is lightbulbs - good luck unless you are looking for a particular part number.
Presumably not normalized—but I still can see the trends, e.g. of top two surnames in Ireland, one is more popular in south and the other in north.
I think that’s sort of intentional; saddle China up with problematic partners that makes them harder to integrate with stronger, less problematic ones (eg: the EU).
Hardware is quite cheap. Even with bloated software companies are making ton of money.
Software developers like to optimise resource but never have enough time for this as business requirements itself keep changing. Time to market and engineering resource required are bottlenecks here.

Only part of software optimisation which should be focusing early should be cross cutting concerns like logging, monitoring, authentication, etc. Business logics should be separated from these and optimised only when required. Consuming more resource is better than rewriting business logics and fixing bugs.

> Some team members output has severely dropped. I've seen people playing video games during work hours for example.

I'm going to be honest with you, I occasionally play video games during work hours at the office too. Way I figure it, if no one is saying anything about my output then they are receiving the value they expect for what they're paying me, and I'm not charitable enough to give them more than that.

I was only able to work from home during this whole thing for 2 weeks when the entire department had COVID (myself included). I played through Factorio[0] during those two weeks and nobody noticed.
