Leaseback. Think of the writedown! There's a _lot_ of money desperate for any kind of return. No, no, hear me out. You've got a couple of billion burning a hole in your pocket, right? And nothing that really looks unicorn material right now. So... we create this fund. It can't lose... it's got rocket science, so we grab all the Space X FOMOs. It's really really complicated to do, got ML stamped all over it. It's green. We'll peg it to a crypto; that'll get the speculators, and give us liquidity when the unicorn does come around... but you won't want to pull out.. I'm telling you, this is the biggest exit you'll ever see. It's a supernova!
> Counterpoint: what about the French revolution?

https://learnodo-newtonic.com/french-revolution-leaders seems to disagree: most, if not all, of them come from privileged backgrounds.
Yep, that would be 01440.
Your belief otherwise is either an evil capitalist lie or an insidious effort to undermine the principles on which your great nation is built. Either way you need to be shot unless you can start believing in the facts required for the greater good.
That's not such a dumb take, diseases and wartime conditions go hand in hand.
Can’t see it
It seems like they're banning people who simply have a background in that country.

There are a few words for that philosophy, and legality of that business practice becomes questionable.
I should check out more of her stuff. Older books that I’ve enjoyed revisiting with my toddler are ones by Virginia Lee Burton and Bill Peet.

It's a copypasta from similar guidelines for flooding events

> If you’re two states away from where a bomb goes off, and insist on open-mouth kissing strangers as they cough on you, that’s up to you.

Which states? Two states away can be <10 miles or it can be >500, even if we ignore Alaska and Hawaii.

As to "open-mouth kissing strangers" after a nuke, that's a rational way to build the social structures that you're going to need to survive. Stand back and be the creepy guy. That difference trumps whatever "little safer" you think that you're getting.
Are they though? I’m not exactly confident those work anymore. Our subs keep crashing in to underwater mountains.
France and some other countries wanted to do business after Iran got sanctioned by the US government, they were told quite clearly what the consequences would be and backed off.

A Latvian bank decided that the American sanctions against a particular group of Russians was an excellent business opportunity. This led to the bank being cut off, the Latvian authorities being told that if they did not control their banks better that all of Latvia would follow and extensive reworking of all of the AMT laws in all of Europe in case some other bank got the same bright idea and to avoid losing the ability to transact with the United States. As a result all of Europe is now required to have an UBO registry for every bank account and every company registered.

This sort of thing is taken very seriously. If you want I can dig up the references. Is it fair? No, it isn't fair, but that is the kind of weight the USA can throw around if they feel like it.

As an aside: you have now made three snarky comments, I have no idea what prompts you to do this but it is HN unworthy.
Vue hooks avoid the closure/scoping issue mentioned in the doc. Very similar conceptually, but I find Vue's implementation a bit nicer to use
I hope your family stays safe.

In the end it is still an occupation, they are brutal there’s no disputing it. Degree of brutality was my point, I have seen how Armies behave and Russian way of capturing towns is brutal which they have yet not displayed in Ukraine.
You know, in base 36, 2022 is "1k6". That's one digit less!
Certainly true, he'd probably be an IWW member and certainly deeply anti-Trump. Similar to Noam Chomsky
Assigning different priority to things and spending energy on one issue but not another may be hypocrisy. We don't know in this situation. Just as you commenting here right now and not mentioning issues in Papua New Guinea doesn't make you a hypocrite not caring about human lives.
I guess it's just a fur coat, but made from wolves. Fur fell out of fashion so quickly didn't it.
"any sanctions strong enough to truly harm Russia would destroy the stability of the world's financial system by triggering a global liquidity crisis"

You'd need to back this up with some real evidence for it to be convincing.

As it stands right now the freezing of Russian reserves is in effect and international markets are essentially untouched, what are these additional sanctions you are referring to?

I am not an expert in this area but is seems to me that if Russia disappeared from the financial system, with an annual GDP of 1.4 trillion, nobody would really notice after the initial write-downs. It is one tenth of China, and has been chasing away FDI for over a decade - thus reducing its international impact. But I am open to explanations as to why this is a big deal, let me know!
You should email their support. I don't think they actually want to terminate your particular account, I think they only want to target people and companies who are actually in Russia (so they looked for Russian addresses and payment methods on file).

Their communication on this issue was terrible in many ways, but honestly I can't blame a company who's literally being shelled today for missing the mark once.
> I do not care about this war at all

You said everything you had to. Wow.
These are guidelines for preparing for a nuclear explosion, which can happen in contexts other than all-out nuclear war.

Probably not helpful in WW3. Possibly helpful in a "Goldsboro, North Carolina, January 1961 but not lucky" type of situation.

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

- Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Part I (1843)
If sanctions kill any amount of people greater than zero makes it a deadly weapon against innocent people and should never be used. Additionally, anyone who uses sanctions should be considered committing an act of terrorism because of their intended effect being killing innocent civilians.
There’s nothing inherently special to native about painting to the screen 60 times a second.

Web Apps if allowed could provide equivalent (and sometimes much better) experiences than native.

But it’s a chicken and egg problem, and it’s mainly Apple holding it back.
> As I've said elsewhere, pointing out hypocrisy usually gets you nowhere in an argument.

It does sometimes gets you somewhere. Hypocrisy implies the (often moral) concern over the accusation is not a genuine one, that the accusers are merely criticising to advance their agenda. If an agenda is involved, then whatever the accuser says should be taken with some grain of salt.
Ah, yes. "What about whataboutism!?"
That's not the fault of the subs, it's the sleep deprived and overworked crews, and inexperienced and also sleep deprived officers manning them. Our ICBMs will work perfectly when they are accidentally launched.
I'm firmly anti-war so that means I'm anti-bombing as well as being anti-sanctioning.
Exactly. They have done this before multiple times.

It’s better to ignore the ‘quick news’ and wait for it to be fully verified by multiple sources OUTSIDE of social media than to react to every manipulated headline sent in the last 30 seconds on Twitter or Facebook.

I think they have proven themselves to spread fake news a long time ago. Censoring and policing what is real or not will just make it another biased echo-chamber than it already is to control anything that fits their narrative rather than covering the whole story.

There’s a reason why the internet has its own proverb:

‘Don’t believe everything you see on the internet.’

And it is better to never trust, always be skeptical and verify.
No place was born a democracy.

Protest isn't even a necessary event. If the reward of continuing the war becomes less than the damage of continuing it, it only needs Putin. Regardless, he always enjoyed a very high approval rating while amassing his position.

>Do you know what happens when you are in a country that doesnt respect human rights and you go to "protest"?

>Do you know what happens when you, as a citizen with no power, try to fight a military regime?

Luckily I am not Ukrainian, so I am not having this discovery forced upon me.
I really wish I could do this. This is privilege that H1Bs don't have. I hate my job despite it being well-paid ($900k/yr). I wish the system were more equal.
Good luck to you. Seriously.

But what does anyone expect? All this international business depends on stable, peaceful relations. Russia broke that. The party will not go on.

We know you're not personally responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. And that's not any different than the embargoes during any prior armed conflict.
The fact that you (and several people who replied to me) assume I am russian despite me not once stating such says a lot about your current state of mind. Relax, take a deep breath, and think your actions through. You are angry at people you've never met and feel desperate to divide them into the "with me" or "against me" camps to justify your anger.
That statement and answer was specific to:

> Why the selective enforcement against just this one particular regime?

Providing the plausible reason why there was selective enforcement for that one particular regime, and thus the irrelevancy of what previously occurred by other governments.

Your next, perhaps still valid question, is why they aren't continuing to apply this policy to your other cited circumstances.
The 'Iron Curtain' was a giant set of sanctions. Limited mobility, trade, finances, goods, services, information.
I am willing to accept some short term costs for long term gain.

As long as the west coast and northeast coast and IL and CO pass the law, then it will effectively be nationwide since most of the higher paid employees are in those states anyway. Just need CA to WA/CO/IL/NJ to MA to fall in line with each other, and employers will not really have a choice.
If you're at a higher end restaurant the burger is a way to put a cheaper, accessible option on the menu. It's there so that a party of 4 or more can show up and someone who's more price sensitive or less adventurous can still have a good time. (Roast chicken and an entree salad serve similar purposes.)

If it's an insult from the chef, that's pretty bad. Extremely snobby to put it on the menu without putting effort in. Burgers are good and a kitchen can outsource the only hard parts (baking a great bun, and grinding the meat) to their suppliers.
The comments here are basically several variations of "I'm Russian and in the process of fleeing my country after getting beaten up by police" or "I'm Russian and actively against my home country's government and haven't been there for years", and the CEO saying "sucks for you but maybe you deserve it".

The Russian government's actions in Ukraine are horrifying. People wanting to spite anyone with a Russian background is distasteful and I fear it may simply backfire if it keeps building, similar to anti-Asian violence after covid or western actions and racism only empowering the message of Islamic extremists.

I'm fine with punishing corporations and putting a squeeze on Russian billionaires so they'll breathe down Putin's neck. Telling a random dude born in Russia to bugger off just isn't right to me. My home country has a history of awful shit but nobody ever actively turned me away just for my background.
Curious as to why there is no mention of having and taking Potassium Iodide?

"The FDA has approved two different forms of KI (potassium iodide), tablets and liquid, that people can take by mouth after a radiation emergency involving radioactive iodine." If there was a radiation emergency, people should take a drug that would help protect them from thyroid cancer.
In the most extreme of cases.

In most cases it takes no more than a few hours. Maybe a day.
You always need PR for both internal and external audience. Internal discontent has to be managed a lot more than external one. Russians have started putting out videos but there not in the way CNN did in Iraq. Sitting on Abram Tanks and singing praises of glory.
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
(Adding on) If doing stuff helps you with worrying, then assembling the emergency kit is a pretty good thing to do. Chances are, you won't need it for nuclear war, but having it will help you be prepared for other emergencies that are probably more likely, too.
If you really think vfork() is hard to use because of the stack sharing, the avfork() should be good for you!
Thanks for that, it’s really helpful to get more insight from people closer to Russia, the people there, and countries close to it. Although I can find a lot of information online, I find it difficult to find the experiences and opinions of people who aren’t from North America. Language is likely a large part of that - I’m sure many of the people close to this simply aren’t hanging out and communicating in English in the places I am.

Brainwashing is certainly a term that comes to mind as I learn more about this, but one I have a hard time using since it can seem sort of like a slur from here in Canada. The truth is though that it seems us here in North America are somewhat brainwashed to fear and resent many parts of the world as well, including Russia. It’s scary. As I’ve tried to make sense of this by asking questions or generally discussing the current conflict online, I’ve been attacked for being pro-Putin or a Russian troll several times. I’m nothing of the sort, I never take a side, and I do my best to be objective, but many of the people I live with here are furious if you aren’t laser-focused on condemning the war and Russia. I’m absolutely opposed to the war, but banging that drum eternally doesn’t help me understand it any better.

Regardless, you’re making a great point. Questioning the war would be difficult for any human being if they were raised in a culture in which it was justifiable. How many Americans supported the Iraq war which ended as an abject failure with very little support? All that changed was that people were forced to face reality. The war didn’t make any more or less sense from the day it started. It’s easy to criticize Russia from across the world, but they’re no different from us here in Canada or the USA in that sense. As you mentioned, it’s remarkably difficult to break out of the sort of cultural mould we’re born and raised in.

Thanks for the response. I hope the friends and family you left in Russia are safe, whether they support the war or not.
I'm not convinced we'll ever see an end to the chip shortage while proof-of-waste crypto exists.

The interesting part of all this is that one company (ASML) won out in the race to build the machines for EUV lithography so for the cutting edge processes like TSMC's 5nm (and I assume 3nm?) the chipmakers rely on a monopoly where demand currently exceeds supply.

Now for GPUs and a lot of CPUs I see the obvious advantages of a smaller process: smaller chips, less power usage, less heat dissipation (although this is all complicated). What I don't understand is how older processes can't be used for things where this of primary concern. Cars have a lot of control units in them but I don't believe they all needs the billions of transistors a Ryzen does. Couldn't older processes like 14nm and 22nm be used to make these just fine?

This isn't my field but I'm also led to believe that a new process basically means an entirely new fab (vs retrofitting an old fab). Whatever the changes required are it's almost from the ground up except perhaps the shell of the building. If true a lot of these old processes must still exist right?
Namecheap CEO, I have two simple questions for you:
1) Would you do this if the revenue from Russian users was 50% of the total revenue?
2) Wouldn't it be more effective if you use the revenue from Russian users to help Ukraine or hire an assassin for Putin?
Remember kids, the best time to needlessly contract a disease is right after a nuclear blast has rendered any aid completely inaccessible.

Also considering that one of the parts that suggests hand sanitizer says the following

If you are able to, set aside items like soap, hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, disinfecting wipes, and general household cleaning supplies that you can use to disinfect surfaces you touch regularly. *After a flood*, you may not have access to these supplies for days or even weeks. Keep in mind each person’s specific needs, including medication. Don’t forget the needs of pets. Obtain extra batteries and charging devices for phones and other critical equipment.

The "After a flood" part makes me think this is just general disaster preparedness and has nothing at all to do with COVID.

Edit: There was another part about hand sanitizer that was much more COVID-19 related that I missed the first time, my mistake. But the entire page looks like a copy-pasted frankenstein.
I see some tech companies (especially infrastructure providers) hopping on the cancel culture train because it is also free marketing, at this point... Their shallow stance makes it clear they first decided they have to cancel the Russians, and then come up with passable, bordering on incoherent reasons to do so.

I wish for consumer companies to think of second-order effects before committing to such measures.

Though, the train is well and truly on a rampage, at this point... there's no stopping it... you'll be left behind if you don't hop on one... damned if you do, damned if you don't.
No, the page is truly absurd. It mixes things up so much that you can't even tell why you're supposed to be doing something like wearing a mask. What kind? Gas mask? Cloth mask? Why?

The page is useless as is.
Wearing a mask also seems sensible to keep the radioactive fallout out of your lungs and thanks to Covid, most people have masks on their person most of the time right now. If you survive the initial blast, fallout is the thing that you need to be weary off and radioactive dust is just nasty. Your concern right after that should be staying safe, cleaning up, and minimizing the risk off radiation sickness, cancer, etc. The article does a good job of giving you some simple hints here of what might be helpful here. The covid thing is just ass coverage, I guess. It's the modern equivalent of making sure the deck chairs are properly arranged on the Titanic. It's not going to be a primary concern for anyone right after a nuclear attack.
It's still making a ton of money as its an excellent tool in the molecular biology lab.
>There are plenty of other choices out there when it comes to infrastructure services so this isn't "deplatforming".

Yes it is. On the small scale, you are removing them from your platform. On the larger scale, if every registrar were to follow your example, users would be cut off at a deep level from free access to the internet.

What happens to domains that aren't moved by the deadline?
No. The US and it's NATO allies aren't going to fly many reconnaissance aircraft in Ukrainian airspace. Especially not manned aircraft like the U-2. If one gets shot down by Russia that would escalate the conflict. At most the Air Force and/or CIA might be operating a small number of low -observable UAVs like the RQ-170 or similar well away from Russian controlled areas.

Satellites will be the primary reconnaissance platform, supplemented by manned EW aircraft flying near the edges of Ukrainian airspace.

It can get worse if you add in local taxes.

(Another comment already said this but they used the word "midwit.")
systemd has some nifty comparatively recent functionality that lets you do some quite similar things, with higher isolation. I mention it because I find it really cool, some of the possibilities are quite eye-opening, and many, perhaps most, services would benefit from switching from static to dynamic user IDs plus StateDirectory et al. to manage /var directories.

https://0pointer.net/blog/dynamic-users-with-systemd.html

The specific example use case that matches here:

> By combining dynamic user IDs with socket activation you may easily implement a system where each incoming connection is served by a process instance running as a different, fresh, newly allocated UID within its own sandbox. Here's an example waldo.socket:

[Socket]
ListenStream=2048
Accept=yes

> With a matching waldo@.service:

[Service]
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/myservicebinary
DynamicUser=yes

> With the two unit files above, systemd will listen on TCP/IP port 2048, and for each incoming connection invoke a fresh instance of waldo@.service, each time utilizing a different, new, dynamically allocated UID, neatly isolated from any other instance.

By allocating a new user ID for every invocation, you definitely limit the number of instances you can run—systemd only has a pool of 4336 dynamic user IDs (61184–65519) to allocate from, beyond which point I presume it’d refuse to accept any more connections. But it’s cool stuff, anyway.

(You could also just go for socket activation without a dynamic user, but I was thinking of this from the dynamic user perspective because that’s the more novel thing; socket activation has been around for much longer.)
