I know you're getting a ton of negative reactions here, which is always what happens when a protest or sanction inconveniences someone.

I just wanted to voice that I think this is a moral decision and though I am happy with my current registrar, I am going to consider switching to Namecheap, or at least using you guys next time I register a new domain.
Size it for peak consumption and use the excess for bitcoin mining.

I'd prefer to do something really useful, like desalination, pre processing of waste water prior to dumping it into the sewers, and so on, but all these would require a lot of plumbing.

That's still detection, even if it can't precisely map the edge of the semi while cars are moving by; sometimes what's on screen isn't representative of what actual bounds the car thinks is off-limits, as we can see here[0] where the model of the commercial truck clips the car's model on-screen. He seems to support this theory that the problem is mostly the brain of the car[1], at least regarding how lidar won't help with object detection in general.

>The ability to sketch out options, choices, rough costs, and expected benefits on the fly meant that it all flowed without pause, without hesitation

I think the issue that we're leaving out is how right were those calculations? You can throw out a number to move the conversation on, but if you have to double back because you got something wrong, you lost time there maybe some further conclusions were also wrong. I'd rather just try to get it right the first time, and I know I'm flawed as human, which is why I rely on devices rather than gray matter. But I feel like this is optimizing for the wrong thing: flow of conversation vs. accuracy of calculations. That really starts to seem like the same tradeoffs as experience vs. raw speed.
OK but I am not paying extra money for a meal where part of the experience is that some of the food is terrible value and some is amazing, or to eat at a place where (knowing a little of rollercoaster physics) it has actually been carefully planned that way to maximise the thrill and discomfort.

Honestly, some of the justifications for the poor value proposition and past poor experiences of "fine dining" really make me chuckle. Food shouldn't be an exam, an IQ test, or a show of sophistication or class. Putting up with being misled by people selling you sophistication but delivering you average food is silly, and yet it happens a lot.

They are days in the past in the LJ. It's eternity. Not possible to find. But once in a while somebody from ukraine posts messages from friends in russia that "soon you will be liberated and you will understand everything" or something like this.

Biden said he cancelled the project to fight climate change.

So let's break this down...

We imported record levels of oil from Russia in 2021. Instead of getting it locally it was shipped to the United States from overseas using tankers burning fossil fuel!

That's insane. A five year old could spot the problem. The rhetoric doesn't match reality or common sense.

When you burn fossil fuels from Russia it creates the same global GHG as oil from North America. If you burn oil to get it here it's worse for climate change.

None of it makes any sense.

You are doing really dumb and hateful thing. The people that will be affected by this are usually the same who sponsor or even are the opposition. They were fighting Putin long before the war started and long before you started caring about it. It’s the same as to stop selling paper to members of White Rose resistance group [1], because they were Germans. A clear signal that risking your freedom or life does not worth it, because the world hates you no matter what you do.
Russian people will pay very high price without your involvement: by not being humane, you just show them that Putin was right and West is against them.

Well actually lets take youtube. Being removed from youtube doesn't keep you from being heard at all by people willing to directly seek you out but it does directly keep your content being organically exposed to youtube users potentially greatly decreasing your actual exposure.

Unlike youtube domain registration is fungible. Moving from namecheap to <insert registrar> means your computer is silently switched from talking to foo vs bar with no apparent difference to the end user.

It only becomes and effective means of deplatforming if your registrar doesn't allow you to transfer your domain or you literally can't find a registrar who will accept you.
how is it only 8 hours active battery?
Even if they "handle" it correctly, it sounds like it is time to move your domains to someone who might not lash out as quickly.
Isn't it though? Doesn't the ultimate responsibility for government lie with the people themselves? Don't they always have the option of civil disobedience or armed rebellion? Aren't they directly responsible for failing to take those options, thereby allowing their government to do harm?

Two thoughts:

* There are different levels of availability: For example, some court records could be public but not available outside the courthouse.

* Court records could be public by default, but take into account certain factors: Public interest, the power of the party, the vulnerability of the party. Criminal cases should probably be public - it is not dispute resolution (as with civil cases) but the government taking someone's freedom and/or property. The government's actions should be transparent.
> your government represents the russian people

That's the exact sentiment (along with the "please don't play the pity card" comment higher up) that's leading average Westerners to assault ethnic-Russian or Russian-speaking people living in the West, who have absolutely zero to do with the Russian government. And it's the same sentiment that lead to the rise in anti-Asian hate & violence in the last few years.

When average people become an acceptable target, it's (at least implicitly) dehumanizing. Regardless of whether people like you would endorse that violence (I'm sure you never would), we've seen where this rhetoric leads.

There's the same classic motte-and-bailey as with coronavirus ("we're really just calling out the government, not the people"), except in the current Russian case, there's a lot more motte than bailey since citizens are explicitly an accepted target.

> UPDATE_PACKAGES_WITHOUT_USER_ACTION

I actually tried to play with this not long ago, and it is so broken that it makes me think they just wanted to "check the box" in case some judge thought this was abusive behavior. It probably still is.

Not only this API is available only on Android 12, it also _only_ works for programs that have Android 12 as target level API (i.e. when you try to upgrade older programs the prompt will still show up), and only works for programs that your package manager installed in the first place. GPlay does not have this limitation and will happily update packages you installed, after which your package manager is no longer allowed to upgrade them. It's all a big mess.
This is the first European conflict of the internet era where one side gets economically isolated in a very radical way. A lot of theories about modern economic warfare and its effects, are being tested in the real world - stuff like "Country X cannot wage war because the economic blowback would destroy them". I expect the Chinese are watching it attentively, to name one interested party (eh).

If this strategy works, we might have secured the century for good. If it doesn't, it will feel like the clock has gone back 100 years - and those weren't nice times to be around.
Of course you are. Any service provider will have the power to deny you further service. Businesses are going under because they were exposed to sanctions due to trading mostly in Russian goods. They can't really do much about that either.

> I would also remove the language that implies your product is better because it's built in the Netherlands rather than Poland - it seems quite bigoted.

I read it as simply an introduction rather than an implication. I think you're reading far too much in to this.

That said, personally I'd never slag off any competition, no matter how bad I think their product is. Focus on your own strengths rather than your competitor's weaknesses; if it's really that much better, people will figure it out for themselves. I'm not wildly impressed by this page overall.
> If you're designing an OS from scratch, support for `fork` and `exec` as separate system calls is not what you want. Instead, you'd be likely to describe something in terms of a process creation system call, which will have eleventy billion parameters governing all of the attributes of the spawned process.

Or if you happen to be sane you'll have a single, simple system call to create a blank, suspended child process, and all the regular system calls which operate on process state will take a handle or process "file descriptor" to indicate which process to modify rather than assuming the current process as the target.

This was the ultimate flaw of posix_spawn(). As you point out it doesn't support all the things you might want to tweak in the child process—a consequence of trying to capture every aspect of the initial process state in a single process-creation API rather than distributing the work through the normal system calls so that each new interface or state can be adjusted for child processes in the same way that it's adjusted for the current process.

Whatever you do, though, make sure it's possible to emulate fork() reliably with your "better" replacement. Consider the case of Cygwin where emulated fork() calls can (and frequently do) fail in bizarre ways because the "blank" child process was pre-loaded with some unexpected virtual memory mapping by AV software or other system tasks, with the result that a required DLL or private memory space can't be set up at same address used in the parent.

Most undergrad thesis don't get published but hers was pretty novel and is now cited by a lot of other papers. So I'd say the key to being published is to treat it as an opportunity for publishing and to do research on and write about something of import.

For now. That could well change though.
So leave that type of warfare to the warring governments. We don't need fractured delivery of every service in accordance with every service provider's politics in relation to current events.

this kind of stuff from private companies are useless, and downvote me all you want, they do not work, and dont come to lecture me from your SF desk while im living in a sanctioned country, how did the 2017-2019 sactions for Venezuela worked? Everyone in the world moved on and even forgot about our country, and the comunist regime is more alive than ever, all the sactions just fucked the regular people like me, for example my gf is still explaining after 2 years to those idiots at transferwise support that her money sitting on their super awesome "no borders account" has nothing to do with the venezuelan govt and that it's from her US based remote job but they just decided to steal over 22k USD from her solely based on her citizenship. Or should I tell you how stripe completely killed my friend's startup by suspending their accout because they had venezuelans IPs and venezuelan citizenship and aparently they aren't able to check that they (normal citizens) arent the people on the OFAC list, (like 5 names LOL)

So yeah, dont mind me, get your likes, get all the nice advertisiment you want while prettending you are helping and is nothing more than a PR move while messing with normal people with normal lives, struggling everyday but you won't get me as a customer anymore, we are all suppose to be professionals at our tech jobs.
His protest probably didn't cause collateral damage to innocent people.
From the inside, it doesn't quite look that way. The state has been doing a lot to become less reliant on imports in the last decade.

If you also consider examples of North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and many other dictatorships, you'll see that isolation doesn't really correlate with regime change.
> russian people chose to live under dictatorship, now they face the consequences of their own doing

Just like North Korean people chose to live under dictatorship? Do you honestly think that Putin won all his elections fairly, especially with all his opponents (including Navalny) suddenly getting charged with random bogus crimes every single time elections come up, which just coincidentally leaves them locked up in jail and unable to run for presidency?

A significant chunk of Russian population isn't completely brainwashed, given protests have been massive over the past decade, and despite the consequences always being brutal. Yes, I do have relatives living in Russia, and from what they told me they have witnessed, the violence against protestors has been way more excessive than what was shown on the news here (let alone russian news, which try to not cover it at all, aside from a passing mention). The fact that they got over 1.5k+ arrested a couple of days ago alone tells volumes, and that's just official estimates from last week. The real numbers are, I wager, much higher than that by now.

P.S. No, I am not against sanctions or SWIFT disconnection. Clearly, as we can see now, those were needed to push the Russian economy in the direction that would be more conductive for Russia agreeing to finally consider negotiating ceasefire and feel the weight of the consequences. Namecheap terminating user account services in Russia? That doesn't affect the Russian economy even in the slightest and just punishes regular people who already are scrambling due to their own emergency plans and assisting others. Which is evidenced by a lot of replies in this thread from those in that exact situation.
I didn’t mean that 2300 was low, rather that labor is often equally or more expensive than the part but in this case it’s (only) 14%. Which means if the battery price drops by half you will see a replacement costs drop to 9,400.
I think this is well known for people who come from developing countries. If not as explicitly as mentioned in the article, but implicitly. It is mostly people from developed world who mainly assume lack of development is due to lack of money (partly due to what happens in their country on a local scale, and partly due to media articles focusing more on poverty than other aspects when talking about developing countries).

We need to protect Taiwan because they are a democracy. The fact that the most important IC manufacturer is there is important but less important than the humans who live in Taiwan.

China will attack sooner or later.

Democratic countries need to bond together so the current two powerful authoritarian dystopian dictatorships as well as any future ones are not able to destroy them. You don't have a right to destroy my country (looking at China and Russia) because you don't like the fact that we are democratic.
