The Soviet Union before the wall fell was brought to its knees through economic mismanagement. Putin was a stable entity until a few years ago. Sure he made unfortunate choices and policy decisions that probably cost Russia a lot in terms of economic development. But as a whole the country had economic growth and some notion of stability and wealth. That's why he was so popular.

I think it's safe to say that most of that progress is now undone and Russia is close to being back on its knees begging for access to international markets with very little else to offer than violence, vodka, and gas/oil. The only problem with that is that the rest of the world just learned that depending on Russia for gas/oil is not such a great idea.

Rebuilding that trust is going to take a few things; it's not a given that Russia will sell a lot of gas to Europe in the next years. Putin simply isn't the right person to rebuilt that trust given that he just made this issue very personal. He's now the primary obstacle between some very pissed off oligarchs and access to their money.

A little Kremlin coup is nothing unusual. It's an old tradition there. Just ask Gorbachev. All it takes is a few generals deciding their orders suck and that they'd rather take them from somebody else. I hear Navalny is available. Perfect guy for it given he's best buddies with several European leaders and he'd probably be able to restore some normality pretty swiftly. All that takes is a few of his recently locked out their accounts billionaire buddies to pool together and make it happen. Whether it is Navalny or someone else doesn't matter. All they need is somebody that is less of a liability than Putin currently is. Putin has burned a lot of bridges lately and quite a few domestically in the last few years. Lots of powerful people with grudges.

Possibly that's why Putin is so paranoid right now: they really are after him. They have been for years. Recent events are not helping him.

>What is it about Putin's lie about being willing to stop an invasion if NATO ruled out Ukraine ever joining that makes it any more convincing than the others?

* The sheer overwhelming strategic significance of the Ukrainian border. It is where Russia almost lost to the Nazis.

* His willingness for Russia to endure such an extreme cost. Russia will pay dearly for this invasion and we have watched him for 20 years enough to know that minimizing cost and acting in a rational, measured and brutal manner is the norm.

* The fact that if this goes badly he could very well have his head on a stake. Russia paying dearly very much puts his personal safety at stake.

I wouldnt believe a deadbeat liar telling me that he'll have my money by Friday, but if he's telling me to back off or he'll punch me I will.
I won't comment on the move you made, but I wish all your Ukrainian employees good luck! I'm in the same boat, I've got 6 people (mostly in Lviv though, one in Mykolaiv) there and it really feels shit that you can't do anything at the moment besides being supportive.

It's not actually about serving traffic across borders, it's about what you collect. If you collect PII, according to EU courts, you are responsible for it and will be held responsible if you plan to do business in the EU.
I think I ran into a very similar issue recently too, stale closures right? didMount/willUnmount worked perfectly, but useEffect got screwy very fast, even posted a SO article trying to see the best workaround, nothing great.
I assume you are talking about the rant in The Road to Wigan Pier. Orwell was certainly culturally conservative and by "sex maniacs" he did mean gay people but also heterosexual free-love enthusiasts. Orwell's ideal of a socialist (which he describes in the book) is a man who works in a factory who has a stay-at-home wife who takes care of his children and who likes solidly "English" things like eating beef and drinking beer. He didn't like the counterculture at all.
While Russia is committing war crimes, they have not used cluster bombs. AFAIK this claim is based on a report that they were deploying cluster bombs against a civilian mall in Kharkiv. The video shows rapid explosions falling on the mall, but not as rapidly as one would expect to see if cluster bombs were used. Most likely it was Grad (MRLS) missiles. Still likely to be a war crime, but not cluster bombs.
> Wow, I am surprised that 30% of Ukrainians supported Russian use of military force to stop them from joining NATO

13%. 17% didn't know, 70% said no.
That book is so annoying. Disjointed towards the end and no doubt rushed out because of COVID. Doudna alone on the cover. A real disappointment and woefully little explanation of how CRISPR works.
My library (see other comments) has components that are about half the amount of code as react or solid and in pure javascript. The javascript shows exactly was is happening, as opposed to the "simplicity" of react that shows a pretend version of what is going on, then 5 years later people discover that is a bit of a problem and now we are onto the next library (solid?).

I wonder if I could have your opinion on my library, and why half the code, native performance is actually more complicated in the long-run. I don't know the answer at the moment. Documentation isn't complete... it is just web components. eg hello world just becomes a function like const component = hello('Andrew'); document.body.append(component); in the example on github. Anyway, the todo shows a more typical real world example I guess.

How?
The prices reMarkable advertise are deceptive to the point where I reckon they’re probably illegal under at least Australian advertising law: that price doesn’t include a marker, which is almost essential to the deliberately expressed purpose of the device; so add on another 20%. Most people will also want some kind of cover, which is another 20% for the cheapest reMarkable sells.

You’ve got to be careful about this when comparing prices of different products, because they include different things. It sounds like Huawei’s will include a stylus and cover for that price, which does make it a little cheaper than reMarkable’s equivalent bundle.

A “man on the street” isn’t browsing via IP address, and in the modern days of TLS SNI, you practically can’t just type in IP addresses to visit websites anyway. Names matter.
Chatham House is generally reasonable, but their hand-waving away of the criminal Iraq war in Myth 1 is rather glib. Neither the US nor British government have any moral standing to criticize Russia. But "The West" is more than just those two nations.

Saying the UNSC did not criticize the Iraq War is technically true, but neither did it criticize the Russian invasion of Ukraine, since then as now one of the interested parties is the aggressor.
Are you referring to Viktor Yanukovych in 2014? Honestly, as far as I know, he was democratically elected. Was that not the case?
Kobo has a 10.3" reader, it's a bit cheaper than competitors but it's also not as good.

Following this thread as I'd be interested to see what is suggested.
Because Memgraph uses an in-memory storage engine and is implemented in C++ it's faster than Neo4j and more suited for analyzing real-time data, for example from a Kafka data stream. It also provides more support for implementing custom procedures in Python, Rust and C/C++ compared to Neo4j which is only doing Java.
First of all, we need to stop talking about all the inhabitants of Ukraine as a single agent who either did something or didn’t. All these years, people in Ukraine have taken different positions in relation to the war in Donbass. Some voted for more hard-line candidates and parties, others for diplomacy. The program of the current president, for whom the majority voted in the elections in 2019, was aimed at a peaceful settlement, the exchange of prisoners and the withdrawal of weapons.
Someone has been accepting refugees from Donbass in other regions of Ukraine for years and helping them. According to UN reports, more than a million people from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine in 2014-16 were forced to relocate to other regions of Ukraine. In 2016, the Ministry for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine was established to coordinate the settlement, assistance and employment of victims of hostilities in the Donbas. There were also those who created projects to help those who remained in the Donbass: Donbass SOS, Vostok SOS, The Land of Free People, Proliska.
At the same time, the process of peaceful resolution of contradictions has a main obstacle - the front line. When shells are flying over the Donbass, it is not surprising that many of the locals want anyone to come and stop what is happening with troops. When Donbass is enshrined in Ukraine’s constitution as part of its territory, although it is actually controlled by “LDPR” and Russian troops, it is logical to expect that the internal dialogue in Ukrainian society will include those who will believe that the government has a mandate to return Donbass by military means.

Ask HN: I realise data science is not for me and feel depressed
I am a fourth year student in Eastern Europe, studying Math and Economics. This is the final year, and I have 3-4 months till graduation. At the same time, I've been working full time as a Data Scientist at a big telecom company for the last several months. And I think it's not for me

The project here is interesting, but I realize that I do not like any of the "real" DS tasks, e.g. anything that involves actually building a model from the statistical standpoint. Now, I write a lot of SQL: the company has hundreds of billions of calling records, so you have to really think about the queries you write, and even if they are quite optimized I still sit here for a long time waiting for the response. And even that is more exciting than any of the statistical tasks I face

Little background: I started coding when I was 16, back then I built an iOS app using Swift to help me learn English vocabulary. After that, I've been coding as a hobby on the side during my studies. I liked mathematics and statistics as a freshman, and during my second year found out about Data Science. Given my background, I thought it would be a perfect fit for me. I built a few pet-projects using ML during my third year, and started applying. They impressed one of the employers (big bank), so these projects basically landed me my first internship, which led me to the current job

The thing I like the most is actually building stuff with my hands, and I think SWE is a better fit here. I guess this is the reason I never liked Kaggle. Also, most of my internship I spent building a simple web interface for the existing model (mostly back, like connecting to DB, transforming data, deploying to Linux, etc), which was 100% SWE task and I liked it. So there were hints along the way...

How would you recommend me to switch to SWE the fastest way possible?

I'm quite depressed now because I've put enormous effort into switching to DS: I applied to 80 job postings before I got my first internship, and I feel this is for nothing now. Also, my university and faculty considered to be really difficult, so studying DS on the side was brutal.

Besides, I live in Russia and want to relocate (for obv reasons), and feel like it's easier with SWE skills (especially given that I know English and in the process of receiving EU passport). This puts an enormous time pressure on me given how the things are playing out now...

I would appreciate any opinion/advice!
If they have a way to recover the data... they may not want to do admit they do... or put in the effort for individual users. Surely database backups exist and data is not completely lost for 6 months or whatever their backup strategy is to keep backups... GDPR or not.
it's just marketing with feedback, and it's hardly the scary part. Elections are being decided on twitter
Isn't that the sanction working as intended?

I understand your point, those services might be used by Russians against the war, but they can also be used by Russians who support the war. There's nothing good about any of this, the harm being done to ordinary Russians by sanctions isn't good, or desirable, or even deserved. Nobody in the west wants to be doing this. It is necessary though, unfortunately.
The US is not the one fighting this war, please stop using whataboutism. Plenty of people condemned USA's and UK's invasion of the middle east (including their own citizens), countries stepped in to help and support the invaded countries fight back (including Russia) - just like we're seeing here from Ukraine's allies.
2020: plague, 2022: war, 2024 famine? 2026 ...

We're right on schedule. This is obviously no joking matter but this scenario has been with us for decades already.
Hm, is that really a competitive price these days? That's more than 130 Euros more than an entry-level iPad... which has a long and good track record.
"Borrowing cash" is slightly less likely to lead to hyperinflation in the short term. "Slightly" and "short term" doing some heavy lifting in that sentence though.

But "slightly" might be useful to the Russian government given the game plan seems to be to try and complete the invasion before the Russian people mass revolt against their own government as the price of bread goes up 10,000%.
I didn't say the rest are pro-Russian. Many people just follow whatever they say on TV.
David Boggs has died
nice try russian troll.
There is: stop buying gas and oil from Russia. This is where the money you’re talking about come from. The bombs that are destroying Ukraine are bought with Western money.

But oh no, we can’t do it, we can’t have prices go up when inflation is already high. So we will make life harder for Russian people who oppose the war as a feel good measure instead.

Eagerly waiting for it to become stable enough, and possibly the announcement of a bigger screen version. I'm not a mole, although I wear glasses, but books with diagrams and schematics need bigger screens not to be forced to zoom back and forth.
I would also like a cheaper and bigger reader-only version, that is with no hardware/software to take notes, reduced eMMC storage in favor of external uSD cards, and good network integration supporting both NFS and CIFS. It would be nice for users who either bring their books on a uSD card, or would use the reader in a lab where most documentation files are already shared via local WiFi network.
I might be cynical but this seems like marketing for their company more than humanitarian effort.
Oh no, not the global finance! How sad.

And if by "rules" you mean not acting like North Korea, then yes. You should play by those rules.

Killing is fun, and because killing is engrained in a culture of sorts, we can bypass any and all ethical considerations. But the fun doesn't have to stop after the killing, because playing with dead things is apparently also good clean fun that also avoids ethical considerations. [1]

Well, I think when they moved away, they also increased the complexity of their applications as well.
Yes, but it makes it harder for Russians who do not agree with their government to communicate.
It's not a hard answer, Grammarly IS a keylogger, vast amounts of sensitive data is being actively sent to them. Whether they abuse it, or get hacked so a third party can abuse it, is the question. Currently not that we know of. But the software itself facilitates it and that they provide value doesn't change this.
Genius, why use rechargeable batteries when I can tether my portable device to a plug pack!
Regardless of what you think about this possible course of action, this is totally disingenuous. It’s like saying that 40 years ago removing some businesses from the yellow pages didn’t mean you couldn’t still call them - that’s technically correct, but you’d better have them in your address book already or know someone who does. Compound that problem with 1) needing a much bigger address book, 2) phone numbers changing and the same business potentially having many phone numbers to different parts of their business, 3) never having used a phone book before and not even having an address book to start with (using an IP address is totally out of the ordinary for many people, and may not even be supported by applications other than a web browser. If suddenly all the sites I visited were no longer available through my usual DNS providers, I wouldn’t be able to visit them).

I know, I've read it. I'm still not convinced. React could just as well generate and insert missing key on build instead of asking me to do this:

... you can add a new ID property to your model or hash some parts of the content to generate a key.

It is just plain wrong to ask me to change my data model because of this. This is part of the housekeeping that I expect the framework -- pardon, library -- to take care of for me.
Big call? I suppose there's a point where having done enough work in projects affords some perspective. Whenever anyone gets the feeling to do something else the docs will probably be there, as they were the past few years.

Sorry, couldn't resist... Read the rest of your garbage. So wait, so... Putin is a western ploy? Well fuck my ignorance!
not to sound cynical but you are willing to draw the line with an american company, say google but not an openly chinese company like huawei. cool.

what about all the chinese people then? why would they want to use a google device over a huawei device?

shouldnt the discussion be about no company being able to harvest data in the first place, then we wouldnt be having this discussion about nationalities of the overlords
Unlike Iran, Russian banks has not been all disconnected from SWIFT. Only a few banks were. So effect is much smaller. In general, the sanctions on Russia are limited and not strict, the US hasn't gone anywhere as far as it could[0].

Western media has nowhere near the same amount of propaganda. It is diverse and not controlled by the state. The west has many problems, and protecting democracy is a full time job.

With Ukraine, hundreds of countries are all seeing the same thing, independent journalists are watching.

There is no justification for escalating to a war which is what Putin has done. If he had sent troops into the regions already contested you could maybe argue that (even then it would be tenuous).
I am refering to the state power Russia. Do you think the state in general does not support this? What was senate thinking would happen when they voted for proclaiming the separatists independence and authorised military force?

Maybe they thought there would be a repetition of the rather clean Krim expedition.

Maybe the shadow elite are against the war.

I don't know.

This post made me look through the pages of Goodnight Moon, and I noticed that on top of the bookshelf on the left side of the room is a book titled The Runaway Bunny. All of the other books on the shelf have scribbled lines on their covers.

Another somewhat interesting find is that on the nightstand next to the bed sits another book with a discernible title: Goodnight Moon.
It all comes down to the paper like writing feel + latency. Several contenders have been compared to RM2, but RM2 has consistently won out. Curious how this one does.
Anecdotal but...

I was recently chatting with an old coworker. Their mother is still in Russia. The mother watches state run TV and listens to state run news.

She doesn't really believe this is happening because the news says otherwise. She may believe there is some fighting but not that Russia is the aggressor.

Obviously this is one relayed experience but it's important to keep propaganda machines in mind when talking about volumes of support.
