In Afghanistan? Unlikely to be hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by Americans/allies. https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/af... says "at least 71,000 civilians killed" and many of those would have been killed by other side(s).

"Justified"? Probably not, but we'd have to determine what alternative actions America/allies should have taken instead and compare.

I mean, "avoid all US-caused civilian deaths by letting AQ continue to operate from Afghanistan with impunity after 9/11" would not obviously have been the right thing to do.
Go generics were designed with plenty of cooperation from the PL research community. While some complexity to the design may be unavoidable, it's the farthest thing from just having a hacked-together feature with no "big picture" thinking underneath. Very similar to how generics were added to Java, in fact/
She decided that her country should actually proceed with Brexit and has chosen the process for it.
I agree with you about the timing, but I’m just not convinced it has anything to do with NATO. Russia absolutely has created a point of maximum pressure with gas, with the US standing in the world, with Nordstream 2. But I don’t believe it would have behaved differently if NATO were smaller. It’s simply a matter of them building for war for decades.

I also don’t think you can make the argument that the better response was to make neutral. It’s not up to external people to make Ukraine neutral. It’s up to Ukraine to decide how they want to align themselves. I’m not surprised they decided against aligning with the country that keeps on invading them.
Ask HN: Could Apple disable all phones in Russia?
Just thinking about the equivalent of a nuclear bomb in technology. Is it theoretically possible that their closed source includes some doom switch? I suppose it can't be can't be done with Android being open source.

Please note I am not in favor of this just curious.
> If Putin loses in Ukraine, could that also mean the end of his regime in Russia? The Russian people are standing up to him. He has proven that he is not only fallible. Will this also be taken as a sign of weakness to Russians?

I believe that’s the play EU and NATO is going for. Putin made a mistake so obvious and of such magnitude that the western powers decided to go for the jugular. The risk is of course that it doesn’t work, as it didn’t in Belarus. We’re facing Cold War remastered in that case.
You are comparing an invasion to an invasion plus an occupation, which makes no sense.

Saddam had a very powerful army at the time, and the US military walked through it like it was nothing. Occupying Iraq and building a new regime went terribly, as almost all such projects do. Even if Russia manages to conquer Ukraine entirely, which is a massive if, I've seen absolutely nothing in the past 6 days to make me think that an occupation by them would be anything other than a horrid disaster.

Aside from pure propaganda, I have no idea what information you could be looking at to come to the conclusion that Russia is executing the invasion well at this point.

Is Your Employer Mistreating Ukranian Colleagues
Hi All, my name is Avi Asher-Schapiro and I am a reporter with Thomson Reuters Foundation, covering tech. I've been seeing more and more posts on here over the last few days from people worried that their companies are not treating outsourced workers in Ukraine fairly during this crisis. I think it's important that this come out, and am collecting as many examples as I can for an article I am working on. Get in touch if you have anything to share - happy to keep things anonymous.

Some people might wonder why would Russia use public Google maps to tag places for air strikes. I agree that it is trashy but I have some arguments why it can be real:
1) Many talegram chats has sprang up recently asking the pro-Russian population to physically tag places/do some tasks for money
2) Yandex is not accessible from ukrainian Internet
3) It might be pro Russian volunteers hoping that it will help the Russian army
4) I believe that despite being one of the most powerful army on planet Earth they are quite dumb and inefficient(so does other countries' bureaucratic military, perhaps in a lesser extent). Due to their incompetency they may do strange stuff but it can still harm us and the world
With neighbors like Ukraine has article 5 is the obvious temptation, USA didn't have to do anything. Believe it or not Ukrainians can have their own opinions and not everything they do is because of they are pawns
The US does not get their gas from the middle east. Out of 252,610 total units, 250,890 came from Canada. Everything else is a rounding error. [ https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_move_impc_s1_m.htm ]
> I wonder if they have given China extra pause in their stance toward Taiwan.

> If Putin loses in Ukraine, could that also mean the end of his regime in Russia? The Russian people are standing up to him.

If we see a loss of Putin's power in Russia as the world and his own population lionizes against him, a botched Taiwanese invasion could lead to a similar outcome in China.

Lots of food to chew on for the strategists.
Just replying because we have such similar backgrounds. Good luck with your search! If you ever want to have someone to talk about things are going feel free to reply and I can message you on linked in or something :)
When the pre print was first published it was heavily discussed. From memory they over express by several thousand times the concentration of RNA. These are not the same conditions during vaccination.

Also MDPI is borderline predatory journal that will publish anything.
So it looks like the plan to make money is offering a SaaS version of the open source product. This is an interesting trend, as I've seen it a few times.

Back in the day if you made open source software SaaS wasn't usually an option, but what you did was offer to install it on premise and offer support for a truckload of money. Often enterprises liked this because they wanted someone to call/blame when something went wrong.

I wonder if these new companies could still add that to their offering. Free open source, SaaS if you don't want to host it, or we'll install it for you on your premises and offer support for piles of cast

(This isn't meant for you guys specifically since I see that you basically offer this under "Enterprise")
I have reports of new pins from (already-shellshocked) locals, and would like to get them removed ASAP.

Is there a contact at google (twitter handles are great) that these suspected locations can be sent to? They cannot be posted publically for obvious reasons.

I have sent a legal request to Google which may be read, but not in time, as Kharkiv is actively being bombarded.

Modern claims auth just sucks to learn. You're not alone.
Putins approval rating is around 70% (measured before the Ukraine invasion). His highest approval rating was about 88% back when Crimea was annexed. So he has broad public support and the population seem to be largely in favor of the expansionist policies, at least until now.
Up until the English language stopped evolving so rapidly, the word for that was "normal".
> they lifted themselves up from poverty largley thanks to the unified vision and execution of a stable central government.

No. They lifted themselves up from poverty by industrializing and trading cheap labor. This was irrespective of living under a corrupt, autocratic, extractive regime. And, now, because there were no stable institutions through which people could invest their savings, China is in an economic tailspin as their housing bubble popped.
This is so sad...
Love to everyone that has lost someone.
You need a computer to compile at all. If you’re doing iOS you probably already have an iPhone. Old physical phones (cheap) are fine for dev, can simulate latest. $100/yr only needed if you’re actually charging for the app - which should earn you those costs pretty soon. Yes, $1000 baseline for what you likely already have most of.

The “largely free” is in contrast with platforms having >$25,000/yr entry costs just for a license.

> These microscopic worms... cutting harvests by up to 70%.

Seems like there are factors beyond the worms in Kenya, unless they are really saying that they are getting over 150% yield after the banana tree paper is used?
Bombing cities and killing civilians is a great way to create insurgents. Every time a country blows up a person's home or kills their family members there is a chance that person picks up a gun and starts fighting back.

Agreed, apologies for being skeptical but these are strange times and I wanted to make sure we did not accidentally do the Russians a favor because I have no idea how Ukrainian forces are coordinating. I understand the matter is now resolved and that Google has acted and is in contact with your authorities.

Best of luck there, you are fighting for all of us.
The diplomatic channels are still open. Let's see if a miracle comes off it. I'm optimistic since there's not much left for Putin to prove. Europe is terrified and has wisely chosen to not engage with the Russian military.

The absolute worst would be the continued escalation of economy warfare forcing China's hand in the conflict.
Look at the bright side: bad/lazy software helps the world develop faster computers that can be used efficiently for "real" projects (i.e scientific research). If the computers would be "fast" enough there would be no incentive to make them faster and we would never reach singularity
I wish they didn't use the term "crisis" for this. It's nothing like the problems other disciplines are having with respect to replication failure - where maybe the term is appropriate.

Physics can still explain / predict a shit-load of phenomena. It's not a crisis - just more work to do.
Overdoses mostly occur as a consequence of ignorance, of the substance being used, if it's cut or "spiced up" deliberately with fentanyl or other potent analogues, and of the consequences of misuse.

Drugs are used by regular people, in public, in open view, in reasonable doses, and people behave normally enough that you wouldn't expect them to have an opiate buzz, or to be high on amphetamines, up to and including meth.

Responsible drug users have prescriptions, or rigorously test their drugs, and educate themselves about the effects, dosages, cumulative limits over time, emergency responses, supplementation and hydration, and so on. When the user is educated and the substance is pure, overdoses are very rare.

Tylenol overdose results in acute liver damage, among other things. 100k calls per year are made to poison control hotlines regarding Tylenol, with over half that number being hospitalized.

Overdoses are caused by ignorance, the stigma that prevents harm reduction education, and the war on drugs allowing mystery substances to proliferate in black markets.

Provide real drug education in high school and overdoses and addiction will plummet. End the war on drugs, legalize everything, but require pharmacy distribution and yearly per-substance licensing and mandated education, and most drug problems will go away. The remainder should be treated as health care, under the auspices of doctors and caregivers.

Go to Walgreens and get your crack license renewed. Or your lsd, dmt, and shrooms license before hitting burning man.

to clarify, "thinking like a trader" means Putin ought to tolerate continued NATO expansion, with American missiles placed on Russia's front porch, just because the west is a buyer of Russian gas?

The western politicians and the public acting surprised after ignoring all the warning signs all these years is truly amazing to watch.
How do you know your skill is degrading? Could it be the old "the more you know, the more you know you don't know"?
If you mean for function calls, I believe you're correct, not taking into account inline functions.

However, for code generation Go obviously uses registers since way before the 1.0 days.
idea was that if europe trades with russia, russia can be influenced to act in a civil manner. (at least partially)

there is also fact that german ex cancelor (schroeder) is at russian gas and oil companies now (i.e. russia made good friends to make right decisions)

> especially if you make your tokens long-lived

Agreed! You should never make tokens long lived. Seconds to minutes is what we typically see.

"But won't users have to log in whenever the token expires?" Nope, that's what the refresh grant (in the OAuth world) is for. I am not as familiar with other uses of JWT, but I suspect there is a similar process that relies on the issuer for them.

> But at that point, it's no longer stateless.

Agreed, it is an architectural choice. You can choose the benefits of statelessness (scale) at a cost of revocation difficulties. You can get revocation, but you have to re-introduce state.

Is there some token solution out that that I'm unaware of that gives you statelessness and revocation? Would love to learn more about it if so.
For what it’s worth, the Yankees could buy their way to victory but they haven’t in the past decade.
The reason for my current user name here at hn was this exact form of racism. It is the first post I made when I created this throwaway. I was assured that my experience was unique and not widespread. I am both sad and happy to see this, sad because it exists, happy because it is getting some attention here at HN.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that everyone of us needs to be vigilant about this type of racism. One thing I recommend to my hiring managers is to not allow people from frictioned backgrounds to manage and interview people from the other side. Example problematic pairs for candidates/interviewers (not including the cast situation) include: Indians and Pakistanis, Serbians and Bosnians, Greeks and Turks, Chinese and Japanese.

One way I solve this is by introducing an independent observer/participant when situations like this emerge. This is costly but it has really worked to not only address this problem but also created an amazing diversity in my teams because it takes care of some of the implicit bias we all have to some degree.
A lot of it is FUD.

California withdrew it's Cisco case but you wont' see any coverage of that here.

https://thewire.in/caste/california-drops-caste-discriminati...

I am from India and have been in the US for more than a decade.

I come from a low caste. The only folks who have asked about my caste and asked if I am from a higher caste are white Americans due to my vegetarianism (voluntary for ethical reasons).

> Do you feel threatened when a coworker asks about where you are from?

No, not at all.

But I did get upset when my PhD advisor (a white American) wanted to know if I was from the priestly class.

There is definitely casteism in India, but I have not seen it in Silicon Valley.

Casteism is there in India and is unfortunately widespread but steadily disappearing. India's PM and President are from lower castes but you won't see coverage of that in Western news.
The king in 1223?! Who do you refer to, or when?
In what ways was the US tempting Ukraine to join NATO? Because NATO expansionism is the core of Russia's propaganda, along with other non-sense like clearing the country of Jewish Nazism.
The "minion cores"[1] idea from lowrisc.org might be a good early example. You can find something similar for one ARM chip I know of (TI Sitara with PRUs), but only one that I know of...perhaps because it's expensive to experiment like that, as you mention.

> you'd have your Tencents and Apples of the world pouring resources into it

The Tencent and Apple of the world are...Tencent and Apple.

If Amazon say decided to throw billions at developing a Graviton 4 using RISC-V...they really couldn't leverage much of their previous Graviton development work. They also wouldn't have a deep bench of low level RISC-V wunderkind to bring on board to leverage the new platform. It's a chicken and egg problem.

Why would Amazon then want to pay to bootstrap a whole RISC-V market? That's a lot of CapEx without a clear potential for returns. You'll note they did develop Graviton using the ARM ISA so they didn't have to create from whole cloth a "Graviton" market.

Amazon made the same decision as PC makers in the 80s. They consolidated around the IBM clone architecture to take advantage of the rest of the market, especially Microsoft and IBM, supporting the IBM clone market. Commodore, Atari, and Apple all had to fight uphill against IBM clone market.

I haven't seen any technical advantage of RISC-V over ARM that would suggest it's worth pouring billions of development dollars into. It might make sense for Western Digital for drive controllers but not phone, tablet, PC, or server makers.
JWTs can totally store state. I've found good use cases for it and I've never understood why people immediately get up in arms about it - possibly conflating the concepts of JWTs themselves and OAuth 2.0. It's just a damned signed json blob. Trying to act like it's anything more is missing the point.
I didn't say NATO, I said "the west", but you're right, I probably should have said "the world" or something else.

A major superpower decided to invade a sovereign country with absolutely no provocation with the goal of extending their borders. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last. It shouldn't be allowed.

Let's be clear here as well. Russia is not the only country to have done this. Western countries have been just as guilty in the past.

This is just heart wrenching, no parent should ever have to bury their children.
Yep agree, having spent some time digging into why Xcode builds are slow it looks like low investment is a major reason. The tooling and optimizations are fairly primitive compared to other ecosystems and harder to get right where they do exist. It’s just not a priority it seems, likely because new features win out.. and selling new hardware “solves the problem”.
Definitely will echo this. The app I work on is probably a lot of bloat which the op is complaining about but compared to the last app I worked on it's quite a bit less and compiles at least 5 times more slowly due to using swift where as the last project was 100% obj-c. Even if we could somehow manage to convince management to let us clean up the app we'd still be at the mercy of however long the swift compiler takes.

I think the NFT thing should be illegal. It adds nothing beyond a false promise that you're buying an "investment" instead of an in game item. IMO it's disgusting to see game companies targeting kids with a scam like that.

As for the rest of the article, he could be talking about me. I've basically given up on PC gaming. I used to love gaming and now it feels like a second job. It feels like I'm being forced to "accomplish" a bunch of in game goals because the developer thinks "engaging" me like that is going to lead to a microtransaction.

I thought I'm probably just getting older and grumpier, but I bought an Oculus Quest before Christmas and it's been a blast. Games like The Room had me feeling like a kid who just got their first PC game. I think a lot of it has to do with VR being a new platform and there's less focus on developers squeezing every penny out of you and more incentive for them to build small, fun games that help discover what makes sense in VR.

The craziest part is that I've spent several hundred dollars on VR games in a few months which is more than I've spent on PC games in the last 5 years combined. I know it's popular to trash Meta/Facebook, but I think they did a really good job of pricing VR games. It's <$30 on the high end and they have frequent sales, but the sales aren't such deep discounts that I feel bad for buying something at full price.

I also think microtransactions can make sense. GGG did a good job with Path of Exile. I've played that game on and off and every time I pick it back up I play for a bit and if my stash starts getting disorganized with items that have a convenience stash tab as a microtransaction I'll buy that stash tab. It's always after I've spent a weekend playing and it's only $20, so I don't feel like I've gotten ripped off or forced into buying something. I've probably spent twice as much on that game as any other in recent memory.
I disagree with you but I don't think the downvotes you're getting are justified. If you really do prefer Chinese spying, why so?
