Literally the first point of the blog you linked to:

> The crypto project has had 13 years to try and find a problem to solve. It has not found one.

You've posted this link under the news article to which crypto has proven to be THE solution (non-censorable, cannot be weaponized).

The other points from the blog post are equally hilarious. You can't shout "It's not money!" and hope that it doesn't become one. If people value it, find use in it enough to accept it, it can be treated as money.
Russia is #1 exporter of wheat.
Just had a call with a colleague with Russian passport. Essentially: Yes. He described as people he knew being essentially manipulated and outright brainwashed into believing that shit since. With the efforts going on for well over a decade now. The whole "foreign agent" method to squash the remaining opposition is really just the tip of the iceberg.
> From what I can tell, there is literally nothing to show if you don't sign up. The site is entirely social. You have a feed and recommendations which are shared among friends. It's basically like saying there's zero chance you'll sign up for email if you can't see it beforehand.

If people weren't able to understand how email worked before signing up to it, you damn be sure that no one would sign up for it. But email is ubiquitous enough today that people don't need to understand how it works before signing up, because they likely already understand it.

But "social media for books" is different. Show me how the feed looks, show of it looks when people are using it. It's likely I either ignore it because I can't understand what it would give me without viewable screenshots about how it works before, or I sign up and land on an empty feed, getting discouraged from even using it because it's so empty when I first arrive.

Showing people how a product works before asking them to sign up is not a big ask, and something vital especially when trying to get people to sign up and commit to a new social network, when there are new ones created everyday.

People just want to see how stuff works before, and it'll take a couple of hours tops to add to the landing page.
Basically ChromeOS API surface.
Then you really need to try one of the X200's, X210's or X220's. Then you'll get my rant.
It depends on what you mean by "holding accountable"

Germany was financially crippled and mostly demilitarized after WW1 which of course hugely affected the population. But in terms of _actually_ holding people personally accountable, there was a much stronger and organized effort after WW2, see e.g. [0]. I think that worked out rather okay. So I don't think it's quite as simple as saying it doesn't work.

Briar is a fantastic tool. A little rough around the edges but the idea of being able to use Bluetooth to communicate with someone in range versus sending data into a router has appeal beyond offline communication. I'd love to see Codeberg on here in the future. They're doing a bang up job.
>WebGL / Canvas are web standards, no issue with using them.

Accessibility.
One way to look at it is that it’s like the architecture Github Codespaces uses internally, made available off-the-shelf. I don’t think using a VDI approach would make Codespaces a better product. In fact, I was partly motivated to build this by frustration with laggy VDI setups I had to deal with (though I don’t think VDI has to be bad.)

> High end load balancers have done this since the 90s. This is now easily done with the nginx API.

A load balancer doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) do everything we need to do, which involves statefully mapping hostnames generated on-the-fly to servers in a cluster. This allows our users to create instances that multiple clients can connect to, as opposed to just using “sticky sessions” or something like that.

Our approach takes less code than you might think —- we lean heavily on nginx and Kubernetes where we can, so we only need to fill in the missing pieces.
>…much like traditional templating languages, we get a construct like <For> that reinvents a concept that's already in the language.

I'm right there with you, but when React invents a whole markup language inside of JavaScript, it's not in much of a standing to make purity criticisms.
Writing it in german does not change that those concept are fundamental for alot of border disputes.

The pretense is not what is interesting but the sheer size of the endeavour.
They seem to accept a lot of forms of payments: https://support.meduza.io/en

All of them don't work for you?

BTW: Putin seems to be able to defend the Ruble for now at the 1 cent mark. This seems quite hight to me and I'd be concerned for how long they can hold this if I'd be holding RUB...
Well its up to 2/3 of the forces he had at the border are now committed within Ukraine. And he has had to ask for help from Belarus. One thing that has been noted is the poor equipment, with vehicles being abandoned. However yesterday I saw a video of Russian MREs that had been captured, they had a use by date of 2015. And today I saw video of some Russian POWs in WWII helmets. This leads to 2 options:

1) He has sent in his shit soldiers and equipment first, to sacrifice it and wear down Ukrainian forces.

2) All of his equipment and soldiers are of equal shitness.

If it is 1, then he could not have expected a quick win in Ukraine if he was sending in sacrificial troops first. If he did expect a quick win then 2 is the most likely option.

However this raises the question about his air force, they have not been involved and would surely have made a huge difference to their objectives. So again there are a few main reasons:

1) They are not as good as they should be (some reports of pilots having around 100 hours annual flight time, vs RAF and US Air Force where they pilots complain that less than 200 flight hours per year is not enough to remain combat ready).

2) He needs the for stage 2 of the plan which would mean fighting NATO when he tries to invade Poland or other neigbouring Baltic state (There is no way he can get his forces from Ukraine to Finland without Finland having lots of notice and preparing... posssibly by joining NATO anyway)

3) It might be “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” If his air force flew and we saw they were in as much dissaray as his land troops there goes any concern over Russian air superiority.

> Therefore, in 2022 a daily email traffic of 333.2 billion emails is expected

I mean, sure, but let's be honest, a big majority of that is going to be spam, the next step down from that are silly little things like email verifications, password resets, notifications, newsletter spam, and other similar crap. As a millennial who doesn't touch emails for work or for personal reasons (because there is Slack, Signal or some other alternative to those two), I could very well be out of touch, but I'd be surprised if actual legitimate emails (both business and consumer) are more than 5% of that number.

I suppose 5% is still a big number, putting it at a comfortable ~16 billion emails.

Anyway, yes, we should be using encryption by default wherever possible, but honestly, encryption isn't easy for the common folk, which is going to be the majority of those 333 billion. Heck, I migrated away from PM and I struggled with a lot of it. As someone who mostly lives in the CLI, GnuPG is not easy to use. Something like MailVelope makes it easier, but still not that easy.

Then there is the matter of administration. Your sysadmin, especially of the bigger orgs, do not want encryption on your emails. Especially when the business you're in is regulated. Imagine being able to casually leak something without anyone knowing what's in the content? I know regulation is usually not a good answer for why not, but within a business, yes, it totally is. As a customer of Big Bank Corp, I do not want employees to be able to mess with my data, money, or worse, the money of the bank so that it can fail and for my money (or the tax payer's in case of govt protections) to be gone because everyone's emails were encrypted.

The only viable solution here is something like ProtonMail, which actually makes it easier to use, at $/£/€ 5 per month, not many are able to afford to part with that. And no, their free tier is really not that great. But regardless, even PM doesn't really help if a non PM user sends you an email.
You thought Russia wasn't going to invade Ukraine. I had other opinions.
> South Korea

Just so you know, there used to be a single Korea. One of them is doing OK now, although it took like 35 years after the US invaded before SK transformed itself into a democratic country, which Koreans did IN SPITE of American support for their dictator. The other one is possibly the worst regime currently active on Earth.

South Korea is really not an American FP win.

This article is wonderful and it changed my mind about Russia.

Before reading it, I was convinced that Russia was indeed behaving similarly to the USA (in Yugoslavia, Cuba, Iraq etc). But it seems I was ignoring a lot of differences that I should not have.

I had also been blaming the West for not engaging (diplomatically) enough with Russia prior to the start of aggressions (not only with the recent attacks on the whole of Ukraine, but since the Krimea annexation) as it was basically ignoring any kind of argument from the Russians, pushing them to the edge and, in their minds, leaving nothing left to do but launch military attacks to be taken seriously.

But this article makes very strong points showing that this was not the case. Russia has been quite aggressive the whole time (with Putin and without him) since the end of the USSR and does not seem at all to have anything in common with the West, or want to arrive at any sort of agreement.

This sentence, specifically, hit me hard:

"Western policymakers, politicians and populations need to be constantly reminded not only that the people who run Russia are not like them, do not like them and do not wish to be like them, but also that there are good reasons why attempts to find common ground with Russia consistently fail."

It makes the prospects for a peaceful resolution of this conflict (as of writing, representatives of both sides are meeting in Belarus to try to arrive at a peaceful solution to this) very, very bleak indeed. Well, I do hope they are wrong, how wonderful would be if they could arrive at some compromise to immediately end this brutal war.
Surely it's obvious in talking about the second world war that it didn't work? I'm not holding it up as some sort of exemplary negotiation. I was just saying Actually yes, they did try.

> If you're not calling fibbonacci more than once there is a closed form solution which is better for many input values than any of these methods.

I don't think that's true; you're pretty much always better off calculating Fibonacci numbers by starting from F_0 and counting up than by using the closed-form solution.
Morally-neutral does not equate to neutral insofar as I think most technologists consider some tech to be "good" and some to be "bad" in a practical sense.

"Good -vs- evil" is obviously hyperbolic - particularly the latter - but outside of morals they still imply a tendency to be technically/practically good or bad in an objective sense. So discounting it as a mere rhetorical device seems overly dismissive.
There apparently was no need to update the design, and so TOAD-2 is still in use. At the very least, last year or so I've seen 2 new TOAD-2 boards ending up outside XKL, with caveat that they do not want to make a business out of selling just the TOAD-2 boards (they do not want to deal with providing support etc.)

So various signs on heaven and earth point to still made equipment using TOAD-2s.
> The West has already deployed financial nukes. For Russia, there isn't that much left to lose anymore.

Actually, Russia still has a lot more to lose. The West hasn't yet deployed it's tech nukes. Imagine coordinated wipe and bricking of all iOS, Android and Windows devices in Russia, then cutting the country off from internet. Instant stone age that would make those financial sanctions look like a picnic in comparison.
I’ll take a somewhat contrarian view to the other comments. There’s definitely a great deal of room for payment service providers outside the US so I don’t mean to discredit Payhawk’s success (I know nothing about them — they could be wonderful with a long life ahead) but Europe is going through somewhat of a FinTech bubble, a lot of these companies have very shaky futures when capital dries up. I don’t know if it’s a consequence of Stripe’s success, cryptocurrency induced finance obsession, the low barrier to entry… or a combination, but it’s a very frothy market here.
And for more info lookup "little green men" on Crimea and the history of trying to transfer Russian population to the region. This video was linked in some other comment (although on youtube) and I found it interesting: https://invidio.xamh.de/watch?v=nK-yJD_fAtk
I'm proficient with React hooks and functional components, but I will never bullshit anyone by pretending that they make any kind of intuitive sense.

Classes may have been more "code" but were clear to understand. I don't dispute that functional components are probably more efficient though.

Anyways, I've never had this problem with React hooks. I've been building complex dynamic UIs for years, and maybe I've grown to get around these kinds of things, but it seems like Solid.js is solving a niche problem at the cost of making hooks even less understandable?

This makes it sound a lot like the only reason you didn't exploit this for profit is because you tried and failed.
I really appreciate your position, but the letter is incredibly weak. I understand that it's aimed at government that won't read it otherwise, but:

You call it "operation", it's not operation, it's war.

Well if you do not want to read the docs, go with vanilla JS ;) Seriously, no matter what you use, read the docs. Arguing that a library should not require you to read the docs is just nonsense - cause any library makes decisions about abstractions for a reason. If you do not want/need those abstractions, do not use the library blindly. It is always the case that you should now and agree with those, that is why you use the library in the first place. So, read the docs, please.
Would love to hear reasons for Apple, specifically the morals/value aspect

putin been obsessed for years with loss of russian empire/ussr. after 2014 he started to claim that ukraine is not legitimate state. it's common opinion in russia that ukranians are not really nation, but just "variety" of russians and they do not deserve to have their own state. and that ukraine it's west(anglo-saxon) project in order to destroy russia

one extra point: this book is written by somebody who is considered to be putin's guru. wiki article contains summary of the book. go through it and for every bullet point that you find something corresponding in today's reality, get yourself a candy :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

i also found today's interview with author of this book. interview pretty much exactly echoes sentiments of the article (google translate is your friend). https://bloknot-voronezh.ru/news/nikakogo-yanukovicha-2-0-po...

Theres also the Arduboy, which seems to have quite an active community.

For me though, the lack of an on-device library (I'm assuming in the case of Pokkito as the site is down, but these devices generally only hold one game at a time) makes them too tedious to bother with. I had the Arduboy for a bit and yeh it was fun but I barely tried any of the new games made for it because it was just too much of a hassle to manually download and upload the games to the device, as compared to something like splore on pico-8 where its all on-system.
Uh, how is the cnn publication date relevant? The important dates are given later:

> The survey, of more than 1,000 people in each country, was carried out online from February 7 to 15

Since learning about it being done (occasionally?), one thing I wish pollsters would do is publish some sort of figure of merit for how well their reweighing scheme works. For example if this poll had a control question about where they voted in the last election you could see if the sample would predict anything close to the actual number of votes cast (maybe not that straightforward to get reliable numbers for Russian elections though).
>assuming you can take it at face value.

That depends, has the NSA ever given us reason not to trust them..?
Pragmatically I think the western military logic is that sacrificing Ukraine to Russia is entirely worthwhile if it breaks Russia too.

They want Russia out of the way so that they can focus on taking down China. Most of all they want to avoid a Russia-China military alliance.
For me, everything has been said here already: https://latacora.micro.blog/2020/02/19/stop-using-encrypted....

> Ordinary people don’t exchange email messages that any powerful adversary would bother to read, and for those people, encrypted email is LARP security. It doesn’t matter whether or not these emails are safe, which is why they’re encrypted so shoddily.

Totally agree that there is no way of doing email right. If you want security, use other messaging systems, like signal, for all the reasons explained in that post.
This is, I think, the gist of array langs like APL. Vectors + tight inner loops are very close to be great.
The solution to most of your issues is to drive slower. You should be driving at a speed such that you could stop if anything unexpected is beyond your visual line of sight. If that means you can only drive at 10mph in dense fog, so be it. I personally refuse to drive on a motorway in dense fog becuase there are always pile ups. Honestly, there are just conditions where we shouldn't be driving and society should accept that. Same reason we sometimes cancel flights, busses and trains.

As far as Tesla goes, I disagree with their decision to remove sensors from their cars, however I also don't think Lidar, Radar, etc. would help all that much. Radar isn't high enough resolution for driving through dense fog, and Lidar doesn't work in fog. Driving in fog is just hard.

This interdependence is kind of interesting. You could argue that China won't invade Taiwan because it will hurt the China economy or you could argue that China can invade Taiwan because any sanctions will hurt others' economies. In the end it's just a big unpredictable poker game.
> their free tier is really not that great.

Why do you think that their free tier is not great? AFAIK, it works like any other free tier email service but with encryption. Though it does have a limited storage space (which has increased recently). Anyone who would need more than that & has chosen to use PM probably also understands the cost of free products available & will be willing to get paid service

Disclaimer - I am a paid PM user (converted from free tier after using it for few years)

Russia's attempts to join NATO pre-date 2009 by more than a decade. By 2009 it was clear that it would not be allowed into NATO, no matter what they did.

Here is the first google result from before 2008 [1]. Anyone paying attention in the 90s will recall when Russia was signalling a renewed interest in joining NATO.

This is an opportunity that The West is probably going to miss for ideological reasons. We should accept Russian engineers, scientists, doctors. Don't forget that during the Soviet era, they had to build walls to keep their intellectual capital from leaving. Take them!

It would be a demonstration of what would happen to Western population centers if the West crosses any red lines drawn by Putin. He is done with 25 years of poking and prodding and has already warned Sweden and Finland about severe consequences if they join NATO.

It doesn't have to be Stockholm. Any city in the region with 50,000 inhabitants or more delivers the same message: this is my backyard and you shall not interfere.
