> Definitely not. He's trying to put a neutralized Ukraine

His overt claim that Ukraine naturally belongs to Russia I his war announcement speech and the premature, quickly deleted victory announcement from state media announcing that the victory in Ukraine was to be follows by a new pan-Russian union between Belarus, Greater Russia (a historic term for Russia proper) and Lesser Russia (a historic term for Ukraine) suggest that “neutralized” is not the goal.

> They already succeeded temporarily once with the Warsaw Pact.

None of the Warsaw Pact members (especially not Ukraine, which was a republic of the USSR) were neutralized, or even merely friendly, they were Soviet-dominated states that would be invaded of they strayed from the Soviet line too far.

Yes, establishing the borders the metropolitan state had and the control of the peripheral states it exercises under the Warsaw Pact might be what Putin wants, but that goes far beyond “neutralized Ukraine” and threatens a number of current NATO members.
I believe I was thinking of https://github.com/rileytestut/AltStore, but I’m not sure if that’s the exact project (I don’t use iOS, so I don’t keep all of the details in mind)

Quoting their FAQ:

Why do you need my Apple ID?

Apple allows anyone with an Apple ID to install apps they’ve built themselves onto their devices for testing. AltStore uses your Apple ID to communicate with Apple's servers on your behalf and perform the necessary steps to prepare your account for installing apps onto your device.

Why does it say my apps will expire in 7 days?

Unfortunately, apps that have been installed using non-developer Apple IDs (in other words, Apple IDs not tied to a $99/year Apple developer account) are only valid for 7 days, at which point they will no longer open. To compensate for this, AltStore will periodically attempt to refresh your apps in the background, and you can always manually refresh your apps from within AltStore.
All the things that used to work in HTML still work, aside from some trivialities like <blink>, so it’s not like it stopped being approachable for simple things.

The trick is, people want less-simple things now.
I don’t think there’s much overlap between the two, besides general programming best practices.

In my experience, backend development is often simpler because you can move any state out of your own code into dedicated external components, like databases and queues. With frontend code, you have to manage state; there’s nowhere else for it to go.
Could you do something like "<form action="#sent">" and use the ":target" CSS pseudo-class on an element with a message?

FSR doesn't use things like motion vectors which are more likely to be the quality difference between it and dlss then machine learning is. Temporal AA & upscaling is well known to produce fantastic results without any machine learning involvement.

Hence why dlss 2.0 doesn't need per game training anymore. The "machine learning" part of it seems to be mostly killed off unless they somehow managed to train a fully generic model that can handle all art designs and game engine settings (eg, motion blur on vs. off). But it seems more likely it's a fancy generic take on temporal upscaling, possible influenced by ML but not dominated by it.

Which I guess is something we'll find out with this leak. How much AI is actually in dlss 2.0 and how much is "just" offloaded temporal super sampling (such as epic's TSR)
That’s really not great to do long-term, as it would impact your credit rating. Stores cards are seen as one of the worst types of credit, so that will lower it. Also the hard pull on the report as part of the signup process, and the act of cancellation all will lower your score. It’s like a 3x bad strategy.

Fuck. This is the moment I've been dreading for the last week, it means that there is a significant chance this conflict will now escalate rapidly. Europe will not stand by while a city of millions is slaughtered, at least, while at the same time I hope they won't I am painfully aware of the possible consequences of not standing by and would rather disappear than to live with the shame of doing nothing. This is just too ugly, all of it. The world we've created has handed way too much power to unstable individuals, and assuming we get out of this is a root cause that needs addressing.

I dont see anything especially bad about the US. The notion that other countries would have acted better is often betrayed by their own history. The US just historically had more capability. Additionally the pax americana has saved millions of lives. If your a male the odds you die in combat have decreased globally by more than an order of magnitude since the US became a super power. Global poverty has also rapidly decreased etc.
Could someone explain what these workers were actually doing? It sounds like they were setting up cell networks, I guess cell networks contract with Ericsson to essentially run their infrastructure for them?

I was under the impression that Ericson mostly made hardware/software and sold it to companies running cell networks, but I guess I was wrong.

Dude, Seriously? The threat of Nuclear War is a whole other dimension than any posturing (for a lack of a better word), "Standard" War. Since the consequences will be planet-wide, the checks and balances to prevent Nuclear War are far far more stringent than we "the common public" could know. I am not worried about that. What i am worried about is a protracted War which will lead to innumerable deaths and devastation.
Thank you for your feedback and thank you for reading the article.

You're right: I mention Country A & Country B purely as background info but I do understand when readers think I'm somehow dissing Country B (as the entire article is all about "How DGXL is better than HOT").

Based on your feedback and other comments on this thread I have decided to take the page offline. Not to give in to the lawyer's letter, but because I see now that the article is bad taste and frankly unnecessary.
Worth noting that there isn't a time dimension on the X axis other than funding round interval, as when you average that comp over the 3-5 years it takes to get from seed to A, and then from A to eventual dilution and exit, the average compensation is significantly lower than the high watermark number for salary/comp package.
The American Civil War was in some ways the prelude to WWI in terms of introducing the kind of mass-slaughter battles enabled by increasingly industrialized firepower. There were some very brutal engagements, Gettysburg being the most famous.

> but with the entire world openly opposed to my nation, I doubt that will ever happen.

I think most people understand that this is Putin's war, not the war of the "Russian people". And many people I have spoken to in various demonstration against the war (in Germany), protested against Putin, not Russia. I did not see a single banner with "Stop Russia" - all referred directly to Putin.
> "And dis-information is more engaging (people argue about it) than straight facts."

Odd statement. People generally don't enter a discussion with the intention of "engaging with disinformation". They are intending to engage in discussion.

Sometimes facts are agreed, with contested implications; other times contested facts and exchange of evidence informing those facts.

> "The sites are not tailored towards factual information."

Tailored? See, we could right now engage in a discussion about "fact tailors" and whether they exist. And if they do exist, is the art of tailoring not about adjusting presentation in a manner that suppresses unsightly truth so the end result looks good?

> I rarely bother with correcting people.

In other words, you're denying those people the opportunity to be corrected by you!
With dealer stocks being low and demand being high, there’s little room for negotiation on any material term right now. That’s the whole point of this article.

> As Merchants are not anonymous, they can be taxed, enabling income or sales taxes to be withheld by the state while providing anonymity for Customers.

Pulling this off in the United States sounds somewhere between very challenging and impossible.

Sales tax is not uniform. Rates vary not only by state but also at a local level. In some states, sales taxes can be imposed by the state, by counties, by cities, by school districts, by transit authorities, and by other entities like special purpose districts[1].

Which ones (plural) of these sales taxes (plural) apply to a transaction depends on the buyer's location.

In many cases, knowing the buyer's city, state, and zip code is not granular enough. For example, the boundaries of a school district may not correspond to zip code or city.

The typical approach today is to collect the buyer's full address. From that, there are databases that will tell you the list of jurisdictions and taxes that apply. Obviously, that's not very anonymous.

Maybe you could have the buyer determine all of the jurisdictions/taxes that apply to them and send only that info instead. That's less granular, but in some cases it might give away a lot of information. (Sort of like browser fingerprinting.)

But if you do that, I'm not sure what the implications would be for sellers. Sellers are required to collect the sales tax and remit it to the state. They can get in trouble for not doing it right. Governments don't like it when their taxes don't get collected, so they sometimes create laws that put the burden of compliance on the seller.

---

[1] Special purpose districts could allow a county or local government to, for example, pick an arbitrary area and impose a sales tax within it just to support libraries that serve that area. Or crime prevention, road improvement, emergency services, hospitals, parks, economic development, etc.
How does NATO pose an existential threat to Russia? There would only be a conflict between them if Russia attacked a NATO country. Is existential for Russia to invade and attack neighbors? We might be upon a r/SelfAwareWolves moment.

This is more a nationalist Russkiy Mir/Russkaya Zemlya kind of mental jerk, as evidenced by that article that RIA Novosti published (and then pulled)[0]: if they don't take now what they consider theirs(Ukraine), then they never will if they join NATO. To have one people split in two (though Ukrainians largely disagree) is unacceptable to them.

Fifty years ago the US and allies forced Japans arm exactly because the US was not the one-stop-shop for everything and the US had trouble and a massive trade deficit with japan which was experiencing the reverse.

Forced technology transfers, bad monetary policy, quotas for US tech, cars, etc in their domestic market.
Japan was forced to take it all as they had no comparable export market to switch to (the USSR and co were a nono, china and such poor), no independent army and foreign policy of their own and all in all no way to resist and was thus very susceptible to a tradewar.
Nope. I negotiated the purchase price and trade-in value before discussing financing. Nothing was baked in. And there was no manufacturer "cash back" offer on the vehicle I bought.
Agreed. Along with that the ambiguous 1080p, 1440p, etc. monikers. So much shorthand assumes the aspect ratio. Plenty of displays that are 21:9, 16:10, 3:2, etc.

That said: diagonal size with an aspect ratio, e.g. “13" 3:2”, is fine.

> Home mortgages—though generally recourse—are non-recourse in 12 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. If a homeowner defaults in one of these states, the lender can foreclose on the collateralized home but cannot go after the borrower’s other assets.

Generally taking a credit hit for a few 100k is a fine trade off. You can even buy a new house right before you walk away from your old house..

I think one of the reasons JWTs come up so often is that if you are going to use OAuth2/OpenID Connect - ideally the Authorization Code grant, then tokens become an important component.

And many IdPs implement the OAuth2 access token as a JWT. So it may be that your IdP ends up making this choice for you. Then you have to learn how to deal with JWTs.

i think an immediate mode UI library would make sense if you want to render to a canvas or a similar "backend". maybe for things like games, or some interactive graphic things

but if you want to render to the DOM —and you want to use the DOM if you want to have decent accessibility, or not have to reimplement all the complex user interactions that the browsers take care of— then i think an immediate mode framework might have a great impedance mismatch with the DOM, as the latter is a retained mode GUI model
Authorization is a must-have for every application, but most teams have to build it from scratch. The Open Policy Agent [0] is a good place to start for creating an OSS-based solution, but you still need to build a lot of stuff yourself.

The Aserto playground [1] lets you import your REST service’s openapi.json spec and automatically generates a permissions for each operation. You can assign these permissions to one or more roles (viewer, editor, admin, or create your own). Export the project to get your OPA policy for your REST service.

You can also try it out with the Petstore API [2]. Click the “Start Tour” button for a guided tour.

Would love feedback on how to make this better!

In the US, you can often get a lower price by taking a loan with the dealer/manufacturer's finance partner. They can lower the price because they make money on the loan in addition to the car markup. The rates are often lower than traditional banks or credit unions.
When you say it out loud, it all makes sense.

UI developers focus on user interface, and much of that has to do with looks, style, and personal ergonomics. In a way, it makes sense that the engineers steeped in this type of problem set would be oriented to thinking this way. Even if they aren't initially, the probably will be over time.
Change is hard, naturally there will be some inherent backlash, but one thing I think is a step backwards is the Browser Compatibility table at the bottom. Previously, it had the browser version inline for the cell, now it is just a check mark. To see what version, you need to click on the cell to expand some "more info" section at the bottom.

Knowing if a feature was very recently supported or has been supported for a while is useful; now I'll need to drill down to see the information, and comparing that info across the browsers will be more difficult.

This is another reason I have reservations about the expansion of contract labor in the modern workforce. Far too often, it creates a conflict of interest between the contract company and contract hire.

Tangentially related but much more banal, I have a relative that works in the payment processing industry, overseeing an engineering team. One of his best employees was an overseas contractor that spent many years with the company, brought his family to the states and laid down roots. After 7-8 years with the company, his contracting firm wanted him to move to another company in another state where he could earn more. He didn't want to go, but his contract stipulated that my relative's company could not hire him under any circumstance, so his firm wound down his contract to essentially force him and his family to move. This was in a smaller city without a lot of other IT jobs, so he didn't have many other options.

The fact that huge corporations have that kind of power over people makes me really uncomfortable and to see a huge telecom company use contractors to negotiate with terrorists doesn't surprise me in the least.

You were the one that said it was posturing.

Me:

"Putin has threatened first strike use of nuclear weapons"

You:

"That is just posturing by Putin to keep NATO's forces at bay; nobody believes he is that crazy, both the US and UK have dismissed it."

If the consensus was that this is an empty threat there would be immediate intervention.
