I would think Crimean Tatars on Ukrainian side (and Lipka Tatars if any show up from Poland) aren't too bothered about Chechen feelings.
Managers should never drive technical decision making. This is one of the key offenses some companies continue to commit; they let managers think that they're still engineers. A manager, imo, needs to be paired with an engineer that has the same scope and adjacent level as the manager so that things like this don't happen.

All Russian population revolt on the streets against Putin and overthrow him. There will be mass casualties form the clashes with the military but sitting around under the fear of his iron fist and dying from mass poverty and shortages won't help you either.

Look what happened to Nicolae Ceaușescu and the Romanian revolution of 1989. Hundreds of people died on the streets trying to overthrow that tyrant but it happened. No dictator rules forever. The population has to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good and a brighter future.
It's one thing for Zuckerberg to ban you, and another thing for Putin to do the same. If Facebook bans you, you can go somewhere else. But they aren't the only game in town and their power is limited to refusing to serve you. If a government bans you, that means almost certain death.
They certainly aren't non-issues.

It's actually terrible business because constantly having to hire, train, and ramp up new engineers takes up so much more time than retaining staff would. But no one wants to hear that when X needs to be released by Y and we can make that happen if our engs just work a little harder/longer.
This is true - there have been major advances in battery powered tools in the last few years but unless you’re in the industry or following them directly you probably haven’t seen them. Tools that four years ago were jokes in batteries are now doing fine, and it’s not only battery improvements.
The proposal sent to ICANN isn't about just cutting off Russia's internet from the outside world. It would have disrupted most all internal Russian government-approved usage of the internet as well. If the Russian gov preferred to kill all internet usage, they could have already done so. They clearly want internet access in some form.

But I absolutely agree that ICANN made the right decision. It would have set a horrible precedent.
I use Firefox. This seems like a reason for antitrust.
It’s not credible, and anyone who has read more Solzhenitsyn than a summary of Two Hundred Years Together knows that.

When he published it he spoke of Jewish friends praising Russian silence on the history he covered. This is kind of the same thing. There is a really unfortunate tendency by certain groups to equivocate criticism of historical Jewish actions with criticism of the Jewish people, and the word antisemitic has lost almost all meaning as a result. Reaction to that book is far from the sole example.

It is possible to criticize the behavior of certain historical Jews without filling your heart with hate for an entire people and preaching Hitler’s ideologies. That is a nuance that is lost by Jewish people who call others “antisemitic” at the first hint of criticism. That said, however, it is also somewhat fair because the Jewish people have endured unspeakable horrors in a blink of history.
Agree that Fidelity is the most serious but they cannot help OP anymore. OP's situation sounds like his/her SSN and CC is circulating on the dark web forums.

OP, you should buy an Equifax or Experian credit package immediately, review every account, and put a freeze on your credit report. This will be the best twenty bucks spent in your situation.
I subscribe to the idea that people become more conservative as they get older because they've seen all the times change has resulted in worse outcomes, and have lost faith that change will result in something better, so would rather stick with what they know and have spent decades learning to work with than mix it up some more. Life beating pessimism into people until they are jaded.

On the flip side, you have the young who are optimistic enough to think that things will only get better because so many people are hoping to make things better, and with that backing how could it get worse?

This progression might be greater or lesser in some people, or even go in reverse. Regardless, I suspect somewhere in the middle of this is where we usually should be. Where people want change but are cautious because they've seen good intentions backfire and movements be subverted, but also when they haven't become so jaded as to not want change for the sake of not having to deal with it anymore, even when it's important issues that help a lot of people.

That I view myself at where I describe as a good spot in this progression is probably informed by a non-negligible amount of subconscious bias on my part.

I mean you yourself said that Russian people should be punished because they support Putin. So shouldn't the American population be punished as well because they voted for Hillary Clinton who was pro war based on a lie.

> So what if it was based on a lie?

Jeez, it's that easy for you to say that eh. Say that to a person who lost his family in that invasion.
Sure, they may have, from their viewpoint, valid reasons not to do anything about it. And sure, I couldn't swear that I would do any better in their situation. But: So what? Still doesn't mean it's not their fault, just like it would be mine in the same situation. The two are not logically related.
I disagree.

Russia is the media's villain this week, but I've learned not to trust the media with determining for me who is the villain. I've seen very little discussion of Russia's side of the story, and from my naive interpretation I understand exactly why Russian doesn't want NATO missiles on its borders.

The coverage is far too one-sided to make any informed opinion.

> Most of the new innovation we've seen in the past years have created BRAND NEW problems (when they originally promised us they would FIX PROBLEMS for us) if you look closely enough at them. Cough... Social Media... Cough...

This is the same with pretty much all innovation - even things like the invention of agriculture can be argued to have caused more problems than it solved (Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens makes this point).

Laptops and smartphones made computing portable, but then has people taking their work home with them and increasing stress. Robotics help manufacture things, but also put people out of jobs. The car helps us get around but also contributes to global warming. I just don't think the implied view that "old innovation never used to create brand new problems" is true.
The Italian site (which is the original project) says: Surname maps have been obtained by processing data from telephone directories in the 1990s

While that's verifiable as true, that doesn't mean that innovation isn't still happening. Does that mean the author's issue is around the communication of innovation (vs. Marketing-speak) or is it still about the innovation itself?
you see that a lot on hacker news. you make a comment and they attack you without taking a position of their own. This way they can pivot to anything that suits them and continue attacking you.
How about “countries should honour the treaties they sign”?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Ukraine

I guess countries need nukes and the willingness to use them to survive. Or they have to ally with those who are willing to use them on their behalf (which might not be a good bet).

This is why brexit is such a problem vs. The Good Friday agreement…
Hey OP, I understand your dilemma. The good news is you don't have to give up on your dreams completely, but the rate at which you work to achieve them will have to slow down a lot.

You're thinking of starting a family. Unless you are financially well off already, it's best to get a job with a steady paycheck. You have to start saving for the baby, the health insurance for your family, the children's college fund, and many other random and spontaneous expenses that come with raising children. You might need to move to a larger house, or to a better neighborhood to get into a better school for your kids. Don't forget that insurance might not even cover your medical expenses from having a baby because of how hospitals does billing (ie, if you need a doctor right now, in-network vs out-of-network reasoning goes out the window, among other billing issues).

Having a steady and beefy paycheck will help you tone down stresses by a lot. Plus, if your company offers long paternity leave (and you can scope this out during interviews), you can take that time off to support your baby and also work on your personal project.

Don't give up on your dreams, but we are also the working class, and have to be realistic about finances down the road. There's always opportunity to work on your projects on the side, it just occurs less frequently than you'll be used to initially. But you won't regret it, having a supportive family and having kids is the best thing in the world.
Not at all! As I take it, the sentiment being expressed is against an individual who repeatedly, over the course of time, critiques and accuses without making an attempt to bridge the gap of understanding on their end.

For instance, in the article “There are no docs for [this thing you're doing]” would be significantly better posed as a question. “Where can I find documentation for [this thing you’re doing]?”

You can tell the author’s frustrations aren’t one off, from: “ Basically, with them, something's always wrong, and if you refute their points, they will pivot to find something else. This will go on for a while” and I think this is the general sentiment.

Everyone takes an accusatory tone now and then, or has a bad day, or whatever, but if you’re doing it consistently and refuse to be pleased that’s when it becomes “hater behavior”
Julian Assange isn't a journalist though. He was a contractor trusted with protected information which he then publicized. There's a big difference between a journalist finding and publishing information, and a mole in our government sharing our secrets with people.

And that's ignoring the whole rape thing with Assange.
No, the article is not demanding that co-workers are excited about the project at all. Nor is the author giving tasks to anyone.

It literally starts with coworker complaining about lack of documentation, being given documentation, complaining about lack of wiki, being given like, complaining about missing info on wiki and then being shown it is there.

Author is asking people to ask for docs before complaining about lack of docs and to read existing wiki before complaining about missing info on wiki.
The point is most countries maintain 80% of their trade without china, and are aligned with us policy wise for now; the implication is the west has more leverage if push comes to shove, they can (arguably per op) hurt china more than vice versa and more so by being aligned. It would obviously be a very serious injury to all economies involved and will hopefully not be necessary.

This is a good rant, and there’s nothing wrong with a good rant every now and then. I sometimes feel just like the author does. But on the optimistic side:

- At some point the “…is just a slightly-better version of…” product changes to being a whole new ‘thing’ JUST because it is that much better / easier / prettier / cheaper. And when we step back we can see the increased impact from that. Maybe a whole new group of people now will use it. Maybe a new industry can take off because of it.

- When we look at the past, we have the rosy glow of nostalgia, and we filter out all the worthless, bad, unappealing, and unreliable. I started using computers in the early 80s, and the market was jam-packed with half-baked hardly-usable knockoffs of every successful piece of hardware and software. Web 3.0 has nothing on Personal Computer 1.0!
Yes; there seems to be a Russian column abandoned near the Belarus border, due to getting bogged down in mud, i.e. it's not actually frozen (a couple of days ago it was reported that Kiev was warmer than Manchester, England).
First, I second all the people here who said "focus on Fidelity". Absolutely, you should forget all the others, Fidelity is the most serious. Not only because of the direct implications of your financial account there, but because "people talk" in the financial industry, so you could easily see problems arising with other financial companies.

Now, moving on. You explicitly mention "SMS verification failed" for two separate providers. This to me smells as if your number has ended up on some fraud list (this could well be the reason behind Lyft too).

Perhaps you have been subject to SIM cloning ? Perhaps share your concerns with your phone provider ? Maybe go as far as changing your number (but perhaps not until you've fixed Fidelity if your Fidelity account is linked to your phone number).
I am not sure how much I would trust the Ukraine military on matters that make Russia look bad. However it's last port call was
Chornomorsk/Odessa at 20 Feb, and it doesn't seem like the best time to leave. So I assume they left for a reason. Odessa seems to be still under Ukrainian control, but there have been reports that it would be Russia's next target, so it's possible it was trying to avoid the invasion.

I also would be careful with AIS data right now, it's easy to spoof and has been done so very recently in the black sea (https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/hackers-deface-ai...)
I feel like the whole 'docs' angle of this story is kind of a distraction. The bottom line (IMHO) is that reasonable coworkers, with a reasonable interest in coming to an amicable decision quickly, will not engage in this kind of behaviour.

The anti-social person can be the consumer of the docs, or the producer of the docs. In both cases they will find a way to pick a fight. The important thing is for the reasonable person to learn to recognize what is reasonable behaviour, and not fall into the trap of making protracted concessions in a futile attempt to be reasonable themself.
From a video it’s obvious that it wasn’t due to a mine. Supposedly locals say the ship was parked there for days prior to being hit.
Maybe but it seems more like they're embarrassed by their lack of progress so are just shelling civilian areas to try force a surrender...
Plus, there's the consideration of adding value with a quality experience itself being innovative. Dropbox is "just" a VCS. Slack is "just" IRC. Yet, no one had effectively executed the idea of providing those as a managed service with a focus on UX. That seems obviously non-innovative now, and to some people it even looked like it wasn't solving a problem when it was new[1], but in practice they solved real problems that people actually had with such solutions in a way that wasn't previously available, i.e. "innovative".

That said, Meta's take on the metaverse concept falls short in many ways compared to what VRChat's been doing for years.

Definitely both but likely starting by talking to your target demographic and then building an MVP if it seems like people would pay money for it.
How about the civilians in Ukraine who have to cower in basements, watch their loved ones die, and flee the the country leaving their entire lives behind? The children in Ukraine who have to live through a traumatic war losing all of the stability that they have?

The suffering of Russian civilians is nothing compared to what is happening to civilians in Ukraine.
Perfection is the enemy of good.
Firstly, I can't believe you have enough instances to resist the HN hug of death, with so many people presumably running tests. So that is impressive.

Secondly, I ran the train -> test cycle and I didn't see any error metrics. Is the idea that if we were spinning up our own we would be outputting these ourselves? Or would we have trained up the model somewhere else and we would transfer it to SLAI to do a final test and then package it?
Snake oil and overzealous/deceitful marketing are nothing new. I'm not sure anything fundamentally changed.
Also mentioned in the article is the demand on OneWeb to both guarantee non military usage of their constellation and for the British government to divest (OneWeb went bankrupt a few years ago and the British government rescued it, becoming majority owner). The difference here is that there was a launch about to happen, close to 40 satellites already on the rocket
A prediction is an opinion that can be right or wrong and does not qualify as misinformation in any form.
There are rumors Russia is going to impose martial law. Even if those rumors are merely propaganda by the Ukrainian government, there isn't a clear broad base of support for the invasion.

That doesn't sound like a country that is rallying behind the flag in support of an offensive war against Ukraine.
They ran into a sea mine. It's an unfortunate accident.

When did this become about America? /s

I find it funny, as a Muslim, to see how little discussion there is on this issue. As opposed to the middle east, where even drone strikes killing civilians are justified and made to seem like a very complicated issue with no simple solution. Everyone is equal, but some people are more equal than others it seems
I stand by what I said. Focus on what you have in common and deal with disagreements by leveraging conflict de-escalation techniques such as NVC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication. Think about what you stand to gain arguing with someone on the internet. Consider what it does to your mindset. I agree with you on civil disagreement and standing up for what you believe.

For instance - I disagree with you on the lab leak theory and laptop comments. I understand you feel about them strongly, but I think you are smart and should reconsider the source material for those claims. Further, I feel the way you expressed it was regrettable: "blood on their hands" is unnecessary and inaccurate. You could have phrased that in ways that were more accurate, more effective, and less inflammatory.

Everyone is literally less intelligent, less capable of rational decision making, and more susceptible to manipulation when they are angry. I have certainly been guilty of this before, and I am just trying to share some of what I have learned.

One final comment: one thing that all social media including HN could do is remove user-visible up and downvotes. It engages the brain in a similar way to gambling (https://www.brainfacts.org/diseases-and-disorders/addiction/...) and creates self-reinforcing conflict that can be exploited.
Privatized justice is great, isn't it?

I would go after the most important accounts on the real government based Justice system (and forget about any non-important one). But I'm not from the US and I don't know how binding are those agreements that you won't seek the Judiciary. (Anyway, arbitrage should be fair enough to let your point through, but I don't know how accessible it is.)
> I think if you try to take everything in his descriptions of the Gulag system as literal fact, you'll find historical discrepancies

What ones stand out for you? I am relatively ignorant on the subject. Your comment stimulated me to google a bit and I came up with this¹ critical (and currently topical) criticism of him for anti-semitism in which he is accused of blaming Jewish people for playing a leading role in the red terror:

His reported self defense included a reference to the Kiev/Kyiv Cheka (precursors to OGPU and NKVD):
'To explain the actions of the Kiev cheka [secret police] only by the fact that two thirds were Jews, is certainly incorrect."'

>We don't know enough about ourselves to know what the problems are anymore.

Agreed.

Many would say this is because the process of online communication has not really been "pushed forward".

We discouraged email years ago in favor of walled communication in social media communities. There are literally trillions of epic conversations happening in places where they'll never get seen or shared beyond within those communities...

Those communities also ratio (in many ways) the ability for ideas to be found and seen by others within and outside of those communities, and also incentivize others word-wide to parrot and copy ideas from the original authors and then present them as their own, without properly crediting or attributing the original author...

This is exactly where the conflict to real innovation that was meant for the Internet resides.
Eh, the critique that Silicon Valley basically was only solving the problems of a shut-in white male programmer was hilariously accurate for a solid 5 years before COVID hit.

As long as there's a lot of money in rearranging the deck chairs of what is the "cool" social media site every 10 years, there's going to be a ton of "investment" in chasing that next big thing cycle. It's just fashion at this point.

I eyeroll at Web3 and crypto and all of that. But somewhere in that flotsam is the nascent ideas of "better crypto" + "web" that may produce something that isn't akin to a turnkey total information dominance infrastructure for the next Putin wannabe authoritarian with more wits and less hairspray.

Yeah there will be a lot of scamming. A lot. "Aaaand it's gone" will happen many many times.

Is SV working on global warming, alternative energy, species extinction, habitat destruction, artificial meat/protein sources, better housing solutions, and the like? No, SV hasn't done that innovation for a while, since the money is chasing social networks and programmer shutin apps.

Luckily, that is happening elsewhere. Like China, or the mystifying hated ElonMuskStan.
>At this point I'm relying heavily on Q&A and community sites since they have their own built in quality rankings. //

How are you using the "built in quality rankings", could you give some examples?

On Reddit, say, except in a few groups like AskHistorians you can still get very high ranking for a meme post and very low ranking for a list that has high informational value. StackOverflow is extraordinarily prone to killing off reasonably good contributions and giving very high ranking to out of date answers (the latter is the biggest problem with SO sites at present IMO).
