In one week they've freed the US from the burden of defending Europe against non-atomic war with Russia: rearmament of Germany, forced Poland to reorganize and modernize their army (going up to 300k), Sweden, Finland, forcing Turkey to get of their fence.
This allows US to concentrate on Pacific theater. I'm sure China is furious.
I think what the poster is saying is that, as far as the software is concerned there IS no event to alert. You live in the US, but setup the taxes as if you live in the Caribbean? You're responsible for the setup, and as a business owner responsible for either setting it up correctly, verifying that someone set it up correctly or paying the auditors to do that for you.

Yeah it sucks, but the more we try to take the accountability out of the humans and put it into the software, the worse both the accountability and the software gets.
Where is this data coming from? I have a rare Italian surname and this finder puts a very small circle (1-5) on the very region my grand grand father departed to America in 1895.
It have some much more up to date info in the UK - it definitely has data from the last 5 years as I can see:

* my last 3 houses
* my sisters uni locations (quite distinctive due to the campus location)
* my family home
* my dads home (post-divorce)

Our surname is uncommon and I know for a fact I'm the only one in my county, my dad in his, and my sister was the only one ever at her uni. Of course there could be others I don't know in these towns, but when we are talking <30 locations total and I know people at each of them and my immediate family accounts for nearly a third of locations...
Good job I eviscerated my entire house of windows machines.
What do you want exactly?

1. You want to not be compelled to do any work to meet your daily needs.

2. You aren’t prepared to be self sufficient so you also want others to render goods and services to you, for presumably no charge.

Are these contradictory? If work was optional for everyone, why would they work and give you goods and services for free?

Sure maybe in future everything can be automated away but right now do you think it’s reasonable to want to do no work and also not want to be self sufficient?
I understand that, you can't search something in web app if web app stores data in an encrypted format.

It's a classical security vs. convenience tradeoff.

I barely use desktop clients for email, except for backup. It's either web app or mobile app, and here Protonmail doesn't work for me.

My use case would be a trusted non-megacorp in non-eyes country with standard security. Something like for example Fastmail based in Switzerland.

Opinion here has swung significantly pro-NATO in the last week since the above was written.

For instance, I think it's not one but two separate Citizen's Initiatives for joining that have each gathered enough signatures to qualify for debate in Eduskunta, the Finnish Parliament. (Not that it was all that far below that before this either.)
> I should probably add that Russia has a point-of-view on Eastern Europe that shouldn't be ignored. Not as a justification for its invasion, but as a legitimate security and influence concern.

Now, there is of course point of view of Eastern European countries who see Russia as legitimate security and influence concern. These are NATO members and became NATO members specifically to be protected against what you call legitimate security concern of Russia (read inability to expand).

> Much was imposed on Russia after WWI, after the Kosovo conflict, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Now, how much of that "imposition" is Poland not wanting to be occupied by Russia anymore?
look. i want to ask a simple question. "anti-western agenda" is fine and good but have you ever looked at that? is the american media not involved in anti-russia propaganda? or anti-iran propaganda?

do you think their propaganda might just be reciprocal to what you people are doing?

sure. pictures and videos of guantanamo bay are everywhere, so are the works leaked by wikileaks. they paint a similar picture of the american exceptionalism the way russians and the chinese do to their own people.

remember instead of trying the culprits of that helicopter video leaked by wikileaks, the us government is shooting the messenger and not targeting the message itself.

what i am saying is, every side of this mess has dirty laundry. there are no good or bad sides. you are taking one side because you live there or whatever.

how is it free speech if "russia today" is banned by youtube or facebook or twitter in the US or EU but if russia blocks facebook or CNN in russia then its "attack of free speech?"
you want your agenda, your propaganda be heard by your enemies but you dont want your people to know the enemies agenda. sure fine. you can do that but its not exceptionalism.
I had to drop out before I got my Bachelor’s degree and I’m missing some of my general requirements rather than CS requirements and I’ve been doing fine as a programmer. So I would say you also have to look when people dropped out and why. If somebody dropped out rather late because they’re already working in the field that is something else than somebody that dropped out before he ever took his first CS course.

I also want to say that what I’ve learned at university and what I needed on the job didn’t mach fully (academic needs vs professional needs) and that when I talked to people that are from other universities they had different sets of courses. For example when it comes to algorithms and data structures my classes stressed data structures more than algorithms and it was the other way around for one of my fiends. You need to fill in your specific gaps if you have a degree or not. A university degree teaches you how to fill in those gaps, if you are already an autodidact you can sort of do without.
>It's the same in P2P e.g. Bittorrent. The count of seeders (those who have the content and are uploading it to peers who need to download it) is almost always lower than leechers (those who are only downloading).

That's (at least partially) solved with incentives. Plenty of private torrent sites require you to keep a good ratio of download/upload to use them. As a kid I was definitely not a die-hard but still seeded to have access.

> We've been having our fair share of anti-Russia propaganda as well, we're not innocent of what we're accusing Russia of.

No. These are not comparable. In the West, you have a range of views and there is no deliberate censorship of views by the State. In Russia, you get and only get what the State produces, and what they've been producing over the last several years has been crazy; Ukraine is not a country, and we have a holy mission to liberate them.

> Overall, a bad idea, IMO.

It is sometimes better to act than not to act, even if what you do is not perfect; it all adds pressure and expresses that you are serious about what you're doing.
Depending on how you look at it, almost all currency (in the form of bank deposits) never leaves its home country/region at all.

Most reserves (which are needed for interbank settlement) are accounting entries at a central bank these days, and only domestically/regionally licensed banks are usually allowed to hold central bank accounts.

One big exception are foreign-controlled subsidiaries of large foreign banks, but even these are subject to local laws and regulations, in particular sanctions enforcement.

When you hold a foreign currency account at your regional bank, this amounts to a claim in the amount of your balance against them, which is only indirectly backed by your bank‘s claim against its correspondent in the country where your currency‘s central bank is located.
I beg to disagree.

* An out-of-touch autocrat? Check!

* Established revolutionary movement? Navalny. Check!

* Instability? Did you miss the protests and martial law starting tomorrow (in spite of no fighting going on on Russian land)? Check!

* Global flu pandemic? Check!

* Food shortages? Give 'em a week.

And the civil war was the outcome of the second "revolution", which was, in reality, a coup.

The real revolution started with a Women's March on March 8th (yes, the same thing that's still happening every year), and ended with the establishment of the Provisional Government [1].

Which, admittedly, wasn't the best and fell to the Bolshevik coup.

But it did end autocracy in Russia for a while.

And USSR, before Stalin took over, introduced:

* universal suffrage
* no-fault divorces
* ban on ethnic discrimination
* all higher education available to women
* all jobs open to women

That's not justifying the red terror in any way, just that they were hardly "the worst". And they did pull out of WW1 (unlike the Provisional gov't).

Which brings me back to the original point: ongoing unpopular war + hunger = end of regime.

Worked twice in Russia: with Tsar Nicholas II, and with Kerensky.

Oh, make it thrice: Afghan war + empty shelves in grocery stores gave us Gorbachev's Perestroika.

Putin's turn now.

> The Russian people are completely controlled. They have no way, even if they knew exactly what was going on and understood it for what it is, to rally, no one to lead them, no way to resist.

You say that while thousands if not more Russians are protesting on the streets each night against this war, despite brutal repression. In any kind of regime, the consent of the people does matter - the way that consent is obtained just varies. Russia is not the USSR or China and it is certainly not North Korea - it is an authoritarian country, but nowhere near the level of dictatorial control where they can completely ignore their populace.
I obviously support Ukraine in their fight against invaders (and I am Russian born), but cutting the internet from Russia would be actually more useful for the Russian government than Ukraine. Russian government just today closed the last independent radio station, blocked the website of an independent tv station , so blocking the internet would just be applauded by the Russian state for doing what they wanted to do themselves.
One travels to gain perspective on other areas and peoples, which gives them perspective on where they’re from as well. Some end up appreciating the diversity that they find while others end up appreciating “home” all the more. But without such perspective they lack a basis for understanding and are merely a receptacle of the thoughts of others.

Extreme travel is not needed, merely going off the tourist path to walk amongst the natives. Always viewed extreme travel as a competition rather than a search.
What comes after can also be occupation, oppression, labor camps, executions, dictatorship. Is that "peace" you say?
The will of the people isn't relevant to authoritarian dictatorships, except in the case of widespread revolutions. That might occur, but while Putin is still in charge, what happens is a matter of his decisions and whim. He is quite willing to commit atrocities in pursuit of expansion.

Regular folks will not suffer from slightly increased root NS latency, their resolver will cache the replies. The TTLs are long, root nameservers don’t need to be queried frequently.

The world is full of countries without locally hosted root nameservers, they do just fine. That’s a vast body of evidence that directly contradicts this claim.

Removing root nameservers from Russia would be an utterly meaningless gesture without any real world impact.

Russia does not do this. That’d be a completely separate issue.

Likewise India is setting up alternative cross border banking with Russia. Will be fascinating to see the end-result of this; how someone with a Russian bank account can pay for a meal in Shanghai or Mumbai.
It's easy to say this (and it's part of the problem) but it ignores why software built in-house is often just as bad, or worse. The article addresses this, pretty early on in fact.
The core ideology of Azerbaijan is armenophoby, and they do not really hide the fact. Their claim is that Armenians are not native to the, eh, Armenian highlands, and thus should be expelled at the very least. During the 2020 war atrocities such as decapitation of soldiers and civilians were common, as well as cutting off and collecting ears of Armenian PoWs. There have been multiple reports of Armenian churches being demolished or having the Armenian inscriptions erased (talk about cultural expropriation). During the victory parade in 2020, Aliyev and Erdogan were praising Enver Pasha, who was the architect of the 1915 Armenian genocide. Also the very "peculiar" expo of the victory museum. Also the threats to take Armenian provinces by force, if political demands are not met. I believe this paints a more or less complete picture why I don't have any optimism regarding the fate of Armenian civilians should that country fall, although probably people who favor Azerbaijan in this conflict can come up with plausible explanations for every item in this list, including decapitations and tortures of civilians.
This has been tried. The first incarnation of BBC iPlayer was P2P, and I think there may still be a desktop version that allows you to save shows offline for 30 days that works via P2P.

The problem is that in most of the world, consumer internet connections are highly asymmetric, and people have terrible uplinks. Thus there often won't be enough bandwidth available for streaming, and furthermore those providing the bandwidth will find their general browsing experience degraded due to uplink saturation.
Interesting. It would be almost same “biała technika” in Polish but I’ve never heard that term.
I agree with everything you've said in this reply, and yet it feels a bitter pill to swallow that the target of an invasion should just shut up and put up.
Probably only historical ones. In the past it wasn't easy to get high voltages with DC, so losses where higher. These days we are better at changing voltages, and so DC losses the same as AC with similar voltages (skin effects still can be a small difference).

I understand we can actually run DC at higher voltages than AC, though I'm not enough of an EE to explain why. IF this is true, then DC losses would be less than AC.

Just used one of these the other day. No way you’re mistaking the liquid with a twist off cap as an eye dropper (unless you’re blindly dropping mystery liquids in your eye).

Dermal contact is more likely. They do have ample warnings on the box though and there are plenty of other toxic things in our environment that we consciously don’t apply to the skin, so I don’t really see the problem here aside from “may contain harmful ingredients use caution”.
Idiots exist, but this isn’t even a common opinion among pro-Putin people.
Context from Wikipedia (because the article doesn't have it):

"The main combatants were Azerbaijan, with support from Turkey and foreign mercenary groups on one side; and the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh and Armenia, on the other. It was the latest escalation of an unresolved conflict over the region, which was annexed to Azerbaijan during the Soviet era and internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but partially governed by Artsakh, a breakaway state with an Armenian ethnic majority."

TBH I had not thought very hard about the toxicity of the reagents. Some places ask that you place the completed test for that day in the child's bag.
I'm not OP, but yes it is possible to import arbitrary music into the Apple Music app with whatever cover art and other metadata you want. It's as easy as dragging in a folder of normal, tagged FLAC or MP3 files and it will use the metadata in them to group into albums etc.

It's also user-configurable whether the app will move your files into its folder and organization scheme or just leave them alone where you put them.

> Because of the geopolitics and strategical requirements of missiles, Russia loses nuclear war

Nothing Russia can do changes that. They know that. We know that. They know we know.

It's all just a game of chicken. And for Russia to win they would have to go all in 100 times in a row. Whereas NATO wins if nothing changes.

So they won't go all in. It's just a matter of NATO deciding where the final line on sand is. I think we're witnessing it being drawn and Putin mistakenly thought he can do a few more steps.
> how is it free speech if "russia today" is banned by youtube or facebook or twitter in the US or EU but if russia blocks facebook or CNN in russia then its "attack of free speech?"

Free speech does not include using speech to lie and defraud.

The Russian State controls the Russian media and what you get is and only is propaganda. It is there purely to defaud and deceive. This is not about freedom of speech, it's about crime.

If you meet a man lying through his teeth to sell you fake insurance, you do not protect his actions on the basis of freedom of speech.
This is great, even if I'm not getting as good results as from google for now.

Can you expose the filtering features of ES? I'd love to query e.g. "+python lists" and get results only related to Python, no e.g. Lisp results. For Stack Overflow you could use the question's tags as filter keys, and for other sites you'd add them manually (so e.g. the PHP docs get the PHP key).

If you're thinking of monetizing this, I'll tell you what I tell all the small, useful services that I'd like to pay for. There are too many small, useful services that I'd like to pay for. I'll gladly pay $1 for such a service, but you'll have a hard time convincing me to pay more.
> Lets not forgot pushing themselves into the arms of China who ideologically hates them.

No, they "made up" recently. Russia supports Chinas claim to Taiwan and China supports Russias claims.

This makes the whole situation even more ugly.

While you're correct that in this way a CDN is similar to peer-federated systems, this is also a low-effort trite response that misses about 70% of the differences between the two.

The main difference being, of course, CDNs provide a delivery and storage service which you pay for, meaning the content remains yours, the circumstances under which it is viewed is under your control, and you're simply paying for them to deliver it for you. With peer-based systems, those two key points are no longer true.
Hi all!

I made an account just to come and comment on this thread. My name is Jonne, I am the creator of Pokitto.

1. Screen orientation. Unfortunately, the screen orientation is 90 degrees to the intended orientation. Some people are more affected by this than others. Some people say its unusable, 2000+ units have been sold so most people think its usable. Other similar consoles for example Gamebuino Meta and Adafruit PyGamer have this same orientation issue. Bottom line is this: tft displays in the 1.8"-2.2" size are manufactured for feature phones and their orientation comes from that use. If the volumes of Pokitto were 250k pieces, I might be able to get a screen with the coreect orientation. But, as it is, this is the situation.

2. IPS screens. At the time when Pokitto was made, IPS in 2.0" was not really available and I am still seeing Arduino modules in the 15€ range. If you realistically think about the cost of components, you have to 3 x cost in the price to cover expenses. The TFT's for Pokitto were <2 usd at the time when the project Kickstarted, no IPS screen comes close.

3. What is the "purpose" of such a device? Its cheap and cheerful. It allows you to see the actual bits and the whole works, you have complete control of the hardware. Pokitto runs on a 36kB microcontroller that was designed to run microwave ovens. There is no operating system, there is no GPU, no floating point unit. Just an ARM Cortex M0+ overclocked to an inch of its life. Its ridiculous, pointless and fun. If you want a better device, there are a gazillion linux emulator handhelds - but very few with the kind of zany userbase we have.

4. Wifi? Watch this space.

And hey, thanks for the interest, and I will answer any questions you want to ask.
