Hi @NamecheapCEO! What do you say about Belarusian citizens? they are also terminated?
Who remember 2020 year in Belarus? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Belarusian_p...)
Now almost all of Belarus supports Ukraine, there are guys who went to help the army of Ukraine. On 27/02 practically everyone who even went out with a flag was detained by the police.
I would not like to see "deplatforming" based on what the government is doing. It would be a great shame for ordinary citizens....
Decades after a lot of the features in the new system should have existed in the US but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks for linking!
Httpie is what I use for this. I use shell scripts, with httpie commands which look very much like http syntax.

I’m loving Quordle and the practice mode. Unfortunately practice mode has ‘stuck’ I can’t clear the board from two days ago. Any suggestions?
>for India to act responsibly instead of aiding an aggressor

Absolutely, Categorically False.

India is NOT aiding any aggressors but trying to stay neutral in the conflict while taking care of its own people.
Maybe they weren't ignored, maybe they heard that and thought, if someone is threatening war if you join a defensive alliance, then that's probably a flashing warning sign that you should join a defensive alliance.

edit: I just realised this is the same Putin apologist who has a whole list of articles blaming people other than Putin for this invasion.

https://www.cato.org/commentary/ukraines-accelerating-slide-...

> Ukraine’s Accelerating Slide into Authoritarianism

> Washington needs to let go of its long-held myth that Ukraine is a blossoming American-style democracy. In truth, it bears a much greater resemblance to the pseudo-democratic systems of Russia, Hungary, and Turkey.

Yes, he sounds like an unbiased source. Pretending to be anti-war when he's apparently just pro-Putin.
Maybe not the leader, but around the country itself. Even people that were vehemently against the leader were deeply against "the West".

>Start an actual war to depose the leader (not always turning out great, and I'm assuming your country wasn't a nuclear superpower)? Leave everything as it is, let the leader invade neighbors with no repercussions?

I don't know, I am not a world leader but I know that those sanctions are not going to have the intended consequences, just about the opposite.

If I had to say something, I would recommend to let them battle em out, with substantial military aid to Ukraine. Throwing out common Russian people from universities and jobs across Europe is just going to feed a siege mentality and its plainly speaking, racist.
I found the article well written and informative even though it's not my area of expertise, I intended my comment as a light hearted reflection of the fact that a lot of articles on HN go over my head but are still worth a read to me, just like your article.
Completely get that. I always had the same issue with podcasts, which is why I built Snipd together with some friends. If you have the mp3 of the audiobook you can create your own private rss feed with services like SimpleCast and add that to our player.

The same Russians who are currently using VPNs to post Russian propaganda all over reddit, facebook, twitter and co? If you think Russians are this way just because they don't have access to the guardian, then I have 20 years worth of Russian politics waiting for you. They don't care. They haven't cared when the wars in Chechnya or Georgia happened, they won't care now. The sanctions are supposed to force them to care.
There have been multiple active wars in like 1/4 of the world the whole time since ww2 and all the time before that. The only thing different is that Ukraine is closer to EU than the rest of the countries.
have some empathy man, this is terrifying
I'm not sure how this relates to anything in my comment.
Solid has done some branding around performance but the promotion is shifting to be more balanced, as Solid really isn't about performance. Solid's biggest priority has been to give the best DX for building performant applications that stay maintainable at scale and after years of work on the same project. Solid might seem harder than Svelte or Vue to get started with (although this is arguable IMO) but due to it's simplicity I think that it's much easier to master and understand what actually is going on.

Compare this to Svelte which has the goal of creating the perfect high level abstraction so that you never need to understand how things work and was originally created for smaller one off projects with much smaller complexity and no maintenance burden.
Has nothing todo with how you look but with your culture and history, it's just logical that you feel more bonding with a culture that is like yours, and probably a bigger reminder that it can happen to yourself.
Newpipe, VLC
Do you have a concrete example to point to?
Any shipments may end up being blocked by Japan because they would need to go between Japan and Taiwan to get to China. During the conflict it will be delayed and risky.

Lets just hope none of this ever happens. I live in Taiwan at the moment. I just want to enjoy life with my family.
hooks are inferior to the older lifecycle methods (in creating understandable, maintainable code)

If the lifecycle methods you're referring to are things like componentWillReceiveProps or getDerivedStateFromProps then the React blog covers why they were problematic https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/06/07/you-probably-dont-need-d.... It was very common for developers to make things that would repeatedly rerender when other parts of their app updated. Hooks make that far less likely to happen.

That said, I agree that a getDerivedStateFromProps method is more readable and much clearer than useEffect(()=>{ // stuff }, [big, list, of, props]);
China is currently very cautious in their stance. The West have given them a wonderful opportunity to buy Russian resources for cheap. They also have investments in Ukraine, in agriculture. It's very likely that Russia's economy will be quite dependent on China in the following years, just like Kazahstan and Mongolia are today. This is a golden oportunity for China and they are a lot more pragmatic and smarter than India not to openly aid Russia right now. They'll buy their stuff later and cheaper after Russia defaults on its debts due to Putin's war in Ukraine while also doing business as usual with the West.
I think this is more so because they are afraid.
Also Reuters forgot to mention that Hungary is also a revisionist country as Russia is, and that it wants Transylvania, part of Slovakia and part of Serbia.
Except that we’ll never know how much violence would there had been in Donbas had Russia not sent their troops and weapons there back in 2014.

And it’s not like Putin cares about the people in the Donbas soo mich that he just had no other choice besides invading the rest Ukraine to protect them. I’m sure that Russia could have pressured Ukraine into allowing some UN supervised referendum in the region if they cared even the tiniest bit about that.
It should have been you, Russians, bleeding and dying in a war against Putin. Not Ukrainians so far away from his seat of power.

It's so easy to think to yourself that you cannot make the world a better place and then to give up and only care about yourself.

Well, sometimes it fires back.

You should start thinking about future Russia. Maybe it's not too late to turn this catastrophe to a victory of the Russian People. Maybe you are not alone.
Think of Cuba. US tried to invade then imposed sanctions simply because it didn’t want Cuban allies and the fact that they were supplying them arms.

US would 100% attack and invade any country in their “sphere of influence” if they felt threatened, it’s just that their soft power is better and nobody even dares to try.
I'm Ukrainian and we have revolution right now (2014)
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink it

Some people do prefer what the "voices in their head" are telling them (and while propaganda is big, it is not all of it)

Sanctions do matter as you're seeing all of Putin's acolytes feeling the heat these days
What about "in God we trust" in the dollar bill?
Completely buried in anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian propaganda.

I'm not pro-Putin or pro-Russia, but I'm looking at things objectively. If I had a browser history I could pull them from there but now the search engines are inundated with propaganda and I cannot find them. It is too late to get objective facts right now, unfortunately.

It is scary how facts become "facts" and now for you it is heresay from some random HN poster (me). Disinformation campaigns are effective.
> Also Milošević died in 2006.

Yeah, I guess he stopped existing in 2000 and had nothing to do with the peaceful referendum.

> Because it is the same, a territory within a country decided it wanted to be independent and it is supported by an outside imperial force.

How can you believe this? Which part of Ukraine declared independence? What country was supposed to be created out of this independence? Which leaders decided they wanted to create a new independent territory?

> I am not sure the same can be said for a lot of EU countries.

Well, if your country is in EU, the citizens of EU are not forced to learn any language, even if they live outside of their country of origin. Language requirements for non-EU exist due to EU being an extremely lucrative place to live. Moving to Serbia and trying to hop on social benefits will not be as lucrative, so language requirement for citizenship might be unnecessary.

> It guarantees us a seat in the parliament, you just have to pass a laughably low percentage of the general vote.

In Croatia and Kosovo, there is no low percentage threshold. You are automatically in. There's no reason to believe the threshold is achievable, given that people in general do not vote.
Didn't all of humanity at some point? Ukraine being a more recent example. And here we are, living in mostly free and democratic countries. Weird how that happened.
It's not temporary, or it depends on what time scale do you define "temporary".

>“no matter what your government says, nobody supports you”

Exactly my point, people at this point flock toward their country not against it. They develop this "so fuck 'em" mentality which would just enable wars to go on.
Basically Russia becomes North Korea or Putin dies.

It's sad, but honestly, Russians tolerated the situation for far too long and the externalities were paid by everybody around them.
> “People are getting very emotional”

People are reacting appropriately given the situation.

NameCheap operate an office in Kharkiv, a city which currently finds itself under Russian rocket attacks and indiscriminate shelling with cluster bombs, and you create an account to criticise the company for stopping operations in Russia and then imply people are overly emotional and foolish about this issue?

If I operated a business which had staff and operated in Kharkiv I would do exactly the same thing.
Voting with their feet is the only real/effective option.

When big power structures collide the vast vast vaasst majority of the affected are nothing, not even pawns, not even innocent, since the question makes almost no sense.

It sucks, but the world is connected and finite, this leads to a lot of the issues we see at these times.
Yes, it was either that or the the dictator of a superpower going on live TV to read off a long prepared "Soviet Union 2.0 manifesto". I wonder which!
NATO hasn't actually provided any replacement MiGs to Ukraine yet. Ukraine hasn't established air superiority. At best the airspace is still contested.

That's what the Western propaganda machine pushes (I'm Western too, certainly not pro-Russian) but do you really think that there is no rational Russian justification from the Russian perspective?
"Throughout the 1980-90s, the US, with the aid of the IMF and NATO, actively destabilized and aided in the breakup of Yugoslavia, with the goal of weakening and destroying the last surviving socialist bloc in Europe."

This anti-Russian trope spreading is infuriating. If Apple and Google can stop their Pay services, of course everything else will be stopped. But that also means I don't want to be on those services either. It is too much power to give to Amazon, Microsoft and Google. I will actively move my own services to solutions that don't act like arms of the US government.
Those few words are a perfectly adequate response though. The author has bigger things to get done right now.
Sanctions do work, cutting off communication with the west doesn't. There 's a feeling that Russians need to be jolted off their seats. I m seeing many of them asking for alternatives for payments or incorporation elsewhere
Well, the only way to ensure you never get a heart attack doing something strenuous is never do anything strenuous.
You can provision VPN servers on your computers and give them out to Russian nationals for free.
I tend to evaluate a service based on what the service provider advertises as selling points. In case of BookWyrm, the very first feature listed in the home page is that its Decentralized. As a user I'd want to understand how that is an advantage for me - it would seem I can't without getting familiar with underlying protocol.

I have nothing against BookWyrm, I'd like to see such initiatives succeed.
Unfortunately, you're supporting the dictatorship in Russia by providing your services from abroad. Russians understand that the sanctions are going to hit them hard because of Putin's actions and only Russian people can stop him. The change can only happen from within - poor or rich, weak or powerful, everyone in Russia needs to stand up against Putin to stop the war.
> both the US and European countries are not willing to step in and protect Ukraine

Both US & EU are lending tremendous support in materials, training (over the past 8 years), and coordinated economic sanctions far beyond what anyone would have predicted. Sounds like Europe is also offering energy grid support soon.

What those countries will not do is directly intervene using their own military forces – Ukrainians would have to be crazy to ever expect that. Two nuclear-armed powers in direct conflict on the battlefield = nuclear holocaust. You could say that's merely conventional wisdom based on wargames and other geopolitical assumptions, but... does anyone really want to test that theory??

Maybe was tricked into war by .. I don't know .. and the war is just collateral demage.

Maybe his information had been so wrong because he and all people around him lives in a bubble.
Heard a finance guy making this argument on radio news. His point was that it was essentially a telecommunication system, which could be replaced by telex or or other messaging service as a less efficient way of getting payments through, or at least important, large payments with cooperating banks and clearing houses. It ruining the coordination of day to day payments seems to have had the desired effect on the Russian economy though.
How does SWIFT play with ISO20022, is that the same thing but different message format?

Also I get it that SWIFT filled a need in the olden days, but with internet+messaging systems in general now available ww why don't banks use something more modern and less expensive? I am not hinting at blockchain. Eg they could use sth like email, telegram, some private incarnation of that, to send their MTx messages, or whatever.
> To arrive at the heart of their new findings the researchers created an immersive virtual reality environment to test the fly’s behavior via visual stimulation and coupled the displayed imagery with an infra-red laser as an averse heat stimulus. The near 360-degree panoramic arena allowed Drosophila to flap their wings freely while remaining tethered, and with the virtual reality constantly updating based on their wing movement (analyzed in real-time using high-speed machine-vision cameras) it gave the flies the illusion of flying freely in the world. This gave researchers the ability to train and test flies for conditioning tasks by allowing the insect to orient away from an image associated with the negative heat stimulus and towards a second image not associated with heat.

That's wild!
> There are conspiracy theories that America invaded to steal Iraq's oil but they are not plausible.

Any service you use is going to act in its own best interest.

What service will you move to that will exclusively act in your best interest?

Best bet is to pick a side.
There are other things that go into it: but-in-the-seat time, titles, etc.
> Ever lived under a dictator? Ever tried to stop him from doing something? Ever done either of the above while having a family you care about?

Yes, see Romania 1989. Over 1000 people died in the streets but we got the job done.
I'm not sure I get it: are you saying you do not believe the international community should hold Russia accountable for its murderous incomprehensible actions in Europe?
Or Vue either to be fair. Similar rules in the Vue's setup function. It's how reactivity works in JavaScript. Basically don't destructure or access values out of of primitives or JSX. That's basically the gotcha.

Unfortunately it's the price you pay for portability thus far. You can build your own language around this like Svelte but then composability is limited (need to rely on other mechanisms). You can make the updates coarser grained like React but then you need a different mechanism(like VDOM diffing) to apply updates granularly. I imagine this situation improves in the future but we haven't gotten there yet.
>It’s wrong and makes no sense.

Of course it does. The responsibility for the actions of the political class has to be carried by the local population. Post-war Germany wasn't like "oh that wasn't our country, you're looking at it with the wrong scope! It was just Hitler!" - I hope you see how this still holds, even though the most Germans would never have approved of Hitlers atrocities. This is not a 1%-issue, you seem to misunderstand the dynamics of power. The leaderships (here: Putin) power can only be sustained when its delegated to them by their people. Your throne is worthless if nobody listens to you, and if people listen to you depends on their trust in you acting on their behalf. If your actions lead to their economic demise, you lose their support, and in consequence, your countries policy will change. This isn't the West seeking to have russian civilians suffering. Its Russia, the country, as a whole, that started invading Ukraine and made nuclear threats, to which the world is now retaliating by any means necessary.
Western Europeans willingly made themselves dependent on gas. It was supposed to be an intermediate step for "ecological" transition away from coal. But unlike coal, which is widely available in Europe and from other countries (the coal mines may have closed in many countries, but the coal is still there), gas is hard to obtain in Europe and need to rely on a few gas countries.

When Trump criticized German dependency on gas and was slowing the construction Nord Stream 2 he was criticized and laughed at.
Yes I realize it is perhaps hypocritical, but somehow I thought we had figured it out. I mean we (EU and US) also could have done more talking less warmongering. I’m also disappointed with our leaders.
I was using a personal anecdote what happens when some foreigners sanction "our" nation, so I used UEFA as an example. It's a similar mentality when it comes to other kinds of sanctions waged against "our" nation.

>not out of spite for a whole population

You may see it that way, but you and average Russian were consuming different media up to this point, and if we admit or not, media has an enormous influence on our worldview.
this is becoming a theme with immigrant communities, in a similar vein how german Turks are supportive of Erdogan. I'm sure those people are not evil, but this phenomenon is worthy of investigation.
> I hope sincerely that all of this will be behind us soon and in a way that minimizes bloodshed on both sides, but I especially wish that for the defenders, who had no agency at all.

Let's also wish for freedom for all, especially the defenders. Minimized bloodshed under a foreign dictator isn't a good outcome.
Yeah, wouldn't want to be a flip-flopper. Life-time bans are the most reasonable thing to do.
NATO would have destroyed Russia anyway. After the drastic intensification of anti-Russia propaganda in 201x which prepared the population to accept it, it is a matter of time. There is nothing nothing Russia might do to stop the agression (bully always finds pretext). It is not new: no matter the regime, the West will always try to dismantle Russia.

Ukraine is a desperate attempt to defend the state against much more powerful enemy. Ukraine is used as a pawn by the West. It is sad.
>See here about delivery progress

That thread is backing up what I said. 4 days ago someone from the original crowdfunding campaign in 2017 is being shipped his Librem 5. If someone were to order a Librem 5 today (for $1200, double what people in 2017 paid) they too may have to wait years to get it.

>Did you hear about supply chain problems in CPUs?

Purism had years to procure the CPUs they needed.

>Every time Purism can get the CPUs, they deliver another bunch of the phones.

Sure, but the amount they are able to make is not enough. Purism's timeline constantly slips. Your money is stuck in an interest free loan to Purism that they won't let you get out of. It is not hard to find people complaining about not getting refunds or refunds taking hundreds of days to go through. It seems like they want to get as much money as possible while delivering as few phones as possible. This may not be their intention, but this is what it feels like to a lot of people.
It’s an extremely cautionary tale of information warfare and propaganda in general. They can provide short-term benefits, but in the long run, it will be impossible to maintain a complete blanket of falsehood without obscuring the reality from yourself. There are some fine folks in US, who should take this lesson to heart, I think.
This is incredibly well-written. Just that first line made me fall in love with her witty style. And then that second line.
I don't think OP is just a subjective and has short vision on the world geopolitics.

Perhaps OP's feeling is that the large blocks had some sort of non aggresion deal, and step by step the rest of the world is going to be part of such non aggression terms as soon as they join other alliances or make their own economic dependencies. That was the hope for many.
> The world is not changing

You may have blinked and missed it, but it just did. The US has weaponized global finance to an unprecedented level. Russian loans denominated in FX will all default. The stock market is cratering as soon as they are brave enough to open it back up. The ruble is going to be worth less than it was an hour ago. The Great Russian Experiment is underway.
They'll most likely need to offer relocation to devs that want it, as they might not be able to employ and/or pay Russian devs anymore due to sanctions.
