They seem to be killing an awful lot of civilians looking for those nazis...

They are finally moving their reg force in via convoy, but boy does that convoy ever look like amateur hour. Which isn't surprising, the russians who have been losing so far have been spetsnaz and armored. This convoy are the people who don't want to be there.

Oh man that convoy. Looks like 1 A-10 warthog would clean them up in about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile... hilarious russian propaganda is that the first wave of troops were all green newbs and they just had old equipment. Like what an absolutely idiotic thing to say. Absolutely nobody sends their weakest troops in first. The morale of your main army driving by loads of destroyed russian equipment is going to be wrecked.

Worse yet, there's tons of examples of russian troops simply not knowing that they are up against literally the entire country. They aren't liberating the people.
Seems pretty silly to me. If you want to do leading zeros, why stop at one leading zero?
I remember when one of our contractors refused to do a rebase for like, a week, and just ignored any messages we sent him. I changed my e-mail on git to his, rebase, push, PR merged :)

Really unimpressed by the editorial job @Reuters is doing. This is the headline of this tweet,

> Ukraine's Svitolina refuses to play against Russia's Potapova in Monterrey

And this is the first paragraph of the linked article in the tweet (https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/ukraines-svitolina-...),

> Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina said she would not play her round of 32 match against Russia's Anastasia Potapova in the Monterrey Open unless tennis' governing bodies followed the recommendations made by the International Olympic Committee.

Most of the replies look like they never read the linked article and just responded based on the headline, which is a misrepresentation of the article to say the least.
What’s about domain names? I guess that people don’t expect to pay yearly renewal fees more than once a year every time when a russophobe (I don’t see other explanation) CEO sees that they can expose their anger safely.
You're absolutely right.

Worth mentioning that even though Binance was founded by a Chinese guy and is banned in the US, they're saying they'll cooperate with sanctions. So if your savings are in Binance, maybe move them to a wallet where you hold the keys, not some server overseas.
I guess you've never been exposed to Network Solutions.
Reading from config isn’t a problem with the way I am doing it… the name is only the key for the thing to inject, you need some code to fill that key to something else dynamically already.
Economic damage is probably one of the most precise weapons we have that will damage a government yet which doesn't kill people (directly, I know quite well the impact of losing your income on your life in winter).

Could the US (UK, France, Germany, etc) hit Putin directly with a drone or missile strike? Quite possibly (though chances are pretty high that would look a lot like your "coward in a crowd" scenario).

But - pertinent to this conversation - can Namecheap's CEO hit Putin directly with a conventional weapon strike? No. He doesn't have bombs, drones, missiles, or guns. He has domain name registries and web hosting, and the ability to offer and not offer those services to others.
I left GoDaddy due to their backing of SOPA years ago.[1] It appears that Namecheap is interested in political virtue signaling, and I want to de-risk.

This is stupid like 99% of corporate censorship actions and yet again demonstrating why pointlessly centralized address books (like DNS) are bad (the alternative I have in mind is petnames, before someone thinks I'm referring to some wacky solution).
This is not an answer to the question. The implication from what you said is that the law of conservation of matter and energy is not true when applied to “universe splitting”. Which comes back to the original question. So where does it come from?

I assume that proponents of many worlds have an answer for this, though I don’t know what it is. I am doubtful that it’s “magic” or just “conservation does not apply”.

> conservations laws would probably not apply for that device

The law of conservation applies to the universe, not the measurement device.
Sort of, but they tripled the price to take the CPU cores from 2010 (single A8) to 2012 (dual A15). I know the whole point of the BB is the real-time capabilities and the two DSP cores, but I do wish the application CPUs were faster. Now that there's compute support for the GPU in the Pi4, I wonder what the performance difference is (in AI stuff).
Why not? He owns it, knows how to use it, and it still works.
Well, I wasn't talking about GH OSS repos specifically in that point. In any case, I imagine that any repo that requires signed commits is also corporate-enough that it'll have a CLA requirement, so if the PR author is unresponsive the maintainer could take the code and commit it as themselves anyway.
From one side yes, from the other side in russia there is total blackout on information. News only about victories in LNR/DNR areas and that's it. They close media outlets that call it war and not "special operation". It's forbidden to publicize non-official information and amount of casualties not disclosed and classified.

It allows to have "mission accomplished" moment any time internally and be done with it. All what they need it's some kind of concession from Ukraine in order to show de-nazification/de-militarization that was promised
Librera is great for PDFs and okay for ebooks. The UI could be improved a little, but it's quite customisable.
The article makes no mention of hospitalization?

The study in question states that effectiveness against hospitalization also wanes (unless I misinterpreted "declined changed"):

> "During the January 24-30 week, [...] [vaccine effectiveness] against hospitalization declined changed [...] from 100% (95% CI: -189%, 100%) to 48% (95% CI: -12%, 75%) for those 5-11 years"

This was an embarrassing episode for that company. Matthew Prince said as much. He said something like "I did this because Stormfront claimed that we platform them because we are Nazis. It's bad that I can do this." I thought that was an especially bad look for him personally, like, if he has the presence of mind to dislike that, then he should exercise it to not take the actions he says he dislikes. Around the same time, the company also deplatformed Switter, which was in my view going beyond their legal obligations, and was also extremely disappointing.

I ate at Chez Panisse once six or seven years ago, and, to tell you the truth, I can’t remember what the food was like. It was probably great, but I was there with a group of relatives. We spent the whole time talking, and I neglected to pay attention to the food.

Probably one reason the author of the linked article was able to describe her enjoyment of her meal so well is that she was eating alone.

Permission controls for browser can be managed the same way they are being managed for native apps.
In fact, once a web app is allowed to register itself as an app, you will be able to centrally view permissions from your existing permission manager settings in your respective operating system.

You are attacking the wrong group of people. Being against Putin doesn't mean being against the Russian people. What happens is you hurt more innocent people.

Yes those discrepancies exist. But they are almost always a result of imperfect information at hiring. No one hired 2 people into the same role assuming that one would only be half as productive as the average and one would be 2x more productive. Had they known that going in they would have hired them into different positions or at least different levels within the same position.

And typically those high performers either get promoted or leave to find higher paying jobs.

> this is conflict with the studies done about "Blue Zone Diets", showing communities with highest number of centenarians don't eat much meat, typically have strong community/religious connections, don't eat processed foods, get sunshine and activity on a regular basis.

There's a serious problem with studies of centarians and supercentarians: it turns out they tend to cluster in places that have bad record keeping and/or high crime rates:

https://www.vox.com/2019/8/8/20758813/secrets-ultra-elderly-...

The number of supercentarians dropping with the introduction of birth certificates reminds me of the incidence of UFOs dropping with the widespread introduction of digital cameras.
Only somewhat on-topic, but this is the latest in a long line of cases which transfer IP from universities to corporations on various grounds.

For a particularly representative previous example, see Stanford v Roche [1], in which SCOTUS found that a patent originated with the individual researcher and not his institution, and was therefore transferrable to other private entities with whom the researcher had agreements.

I, for one, believe that we should enact stronger protections to ensure that research partially performed at publicly-funded labs remains in the hands of the public. In particular, I think that the Bayh–Dole Act should be strengthened to vest the patent with the institution directly, and to create a default presumption that the institution owns the IP.

There's a lot of criticism going your way for this, but I support your decision. This ventures down the path of "what difference does it make if I'm the only one making a stand." Apathy is the downfall of the collective.

> keep a leader

it’s funny sometimes how can people from 1st world countries be so ignorant.
We don’t and we can’t keep a leader. Russia is a totalitarian country, where elections don’t work. We cannot vote him out. Democracy doesn’t work in totalitarian regimes. That’s why they are called totalitarian.
Oh and by the way, as a representative of a western country you could also help ukrain by stop buying russian gas and oil to stop sponsoring russian oligarchs. How about you go and make your government use exclusively renewable energy right now?
Otherwise, it seems like this genocide in Ukrain is as much your choice as it’s a choice or russian people.

I'm not arguing against economic sanctions, those definitely hurt the responsible parties most. Kicking Russia out of SWIFT probably does 10x the damage to the oligarchs as to the citizenry.

Something like kicking every Russian person off of a web hosting platform does not hurt those in power most. Anyone with enough resources to matter in Russian politics will have enough resources to simply employ someone to move everything over and this will barely register as a blip. This probably impacts random citizens 10x more than the people in power.
> I may be in the minority but, as a user, web apps on mobile is the last thing I need. Also, as a developer web apps as a preferred way of developing for mobile is the last things I need.

I would bet in the future most apps are web apps, either JavaScript PWAs or WASM. The economics of cross platform development are too great. I think most users won't care, or may even appreciate this due to the size savings (a PWA today is almost always a lot smaller than a fat app on my experience).

As a developer, I would rather write web apps that can use standard web interfaces for camera/files/icons/notifications than having to learn all of the platform specific stuff, and as a bonus I'll get a lot of accessibility benefits for free.

Agreed. I'm surprised the difference in specific heat is so large! Maybe that's fairly humid wood? Because glucose is about 220 J/mol/K https://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C492626&Mask=2#The... and 180.2 g/mol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose, working out to 1.2 J/g/K, and aluminum is 24.2 J/mol/K and 27.0 g/mol, giving 0.90 J/g/K.

My general rule is that everything is 1 J/g/K except water, which is 4.2. It's obviously not true, but almost always within a factor of 2, and 1 is an especially easy number to multiply and divide by.
While there are treaties intended to limit the usage of cluster bombs the Russian Federation is not a signatory on any of those.

They mean Microsoft daring to give Internet Explorer away for free and integrate it into their desktop shell, as it undercut Netscape's business model at the time: to convince ISPs that their customers needed Netscape--which cost $40 (at a time when you didn't buy software "for life": later versions would have upgrade fees)--and so their Internet subscription price should include the cost of Netscape (which you might recognize as Microsoft's business model for getting PC manufacturers to license Windows; hell: Netscape was even refusing to implement CSS or open their DTDs while throwing in tons of Netscape-specific extensions and features in the hope of achieving lock-in on their platform! both of these companies sucked and neither was sympathetic). https://vimeo.com/310654342

You and others use "whataboutism" like it's some sort of checkmate. The point is, many Americans are very eager to police everyone based on their "principles", everyone else except themselves and their allies that is.

The topic of discussion is not whether or not the Russian invasion of Ukraine is bad. If it was, your argument would be applicable.

This topic is analogous to "selective enforcement" from police. If a policeman typically jails blacks but gives whites a warning for the same crime, this is bad, and should be acknowledged as such. Same here.

> Practically if you don't use threads you can do anything in the child process you can do in the parent. Any env that doesn't support that breaks decades of important Unix software.

Not true. I mentioned PKCS#11 elsewhere in this post or thread. The PKCS#11 case is more generally about devices, or even TCP and other connections. You can't share, say, a file descriptor connected to an IMAP server (or whatever) between the parent and the child (not without adding synchronization, though that need not mean mutexes).
> You're not going to get a very "real" perspective of how ordinary Russians feel about much of anything.

I think I have a pretty good idea, having actually lived in Moscow and all that. And those people are overwhelmingly more western-minded than the people from smaller cities…

Just because they don't cut off the American government, especially Texas, from services, doesn't mean that they can't stand against Russia. This is a blatant false dichotomy. In addition, I 100% blame every tax-payer of Texas for the human rights violations going on there, even those who would call themselves liberals.

This shouldn't be a hot take, but moreso a sobering reality.

That said I'm glad more people are starting to acknowledge this and bring it up in these discussions. Firefox is not really a counter to Chrome's dominance and WebKit only really still is due to Apple being too big to push around.

If I'm stuck choosing between those two evils, I'd sooner take Apple... then try to figure out what a better solution is than just "make Apple change because I don't like Safari".
What do you mean by unable to pay? Would it not just be more expensive? Assuming the banks will convert your transactions when you pay.

The Russian banks seem to have stockpiled currency, so I assume they will be able to keep the loop going.
The UASP caddy it's not that easy to put to work.

Just to share my experience, I did bought a UASP caddy to plug into my Raspberry Pi 4 and unfortunately the microchip in the caddy was not recognizable by the Linux kernel running in the Raspbian system.

I would take a more careful choice when purchase a caddy again, to guarantee the chip is supported by the kernel.

Really, it's an epoch problem of sorts. If we picked an epoch date with a longer view we might have a better feeling for it as large numbers. For instance we are roughly somewhere between Y12K and Y13K since the estimated start of the Holocene. On the other side, it might feel more scientific to pick a far future epoch date and negative numbers would be a greater reminder of time running out, such this being roughly Y-5e9 until the expected death of our sun.

(To be fair to the Long Now, not that they necessarily need fairness, and I'm not a member I just read about them here on HN mostly, adding the initial insignificant zero was intentionally an easy "hack" to keep things recognizable and not get into quagmires like changing the epoch date.)
> more permission dialogs is also not what I want

Permission dialogs are a small price to pay for enabling entire categories of applications! For example, consider WebMIDI: there are huge number of web apps that use the new standard, ranging from online DAWs to hardware device management tools (like the new Noise Engineering Imitor Versio firmware tool). It's clear as day that Apple declining to implement these standards is holding back the web, and leading to platform fragmentation.

Yes, let's prevent fingerprinting with privacy-protecting implementations, but apps should be able to use these awesome features with permission.
