I think that they blinded themselves with their warped world view. More importantly they blinded the military with it - leading to early blunders. If I was an airborne general in Russia I would have a fairly large grudge about what happened in the first three days which I would nurse for a long, long time. I think that they've also had a long history of stealing from defence procurement which has not helped either.

But now the kit that doesn't work is discounted and parked and no one expects cheering flower throwing welcome. The Russian Army will deliver - even if the airforce won't / can't, if boys die doing what they were trained to do then that's expected. The Motherland is grateful.

There will be a reckoning though. They won't forgive or forget this. Unfortunately they all do agree with the war aims, but the set up will not be allowed to happen twice. I expect adults wearing uniforms to grab the reigns when this is over.
Again wishing there was some nuanced way I could upvote your comments but simultaneously fervently downvote-to-the-universe the crap you both had to soldier through.

AWS just changed my default currency?
AWS suddenly changed all of my aws accounts (I manage several) from USD to CAD. This change was made without any warning.

I receved my usual monthly email: "Amazon Web Services Billing Statement Available / Relevé de facture Amazon Web Services disponible", which indicated that the payment would be processed in CAD, with an asteriks indicating: "* You have asked for this invoice to be processed in CAD. For more information visit https://aws.amazon.com/billing/faqs/#payment_currency"

When I log into my AWS account to change my default current back to USD, I am not able to. My only payment option in the dropdown list is CAD.
> Try to watch/download a torrent file with small number of seeders and you'll get the experience you will be providing for the end user.

I always wondered why not combine the ways the media is served into a hybrid of P2P with the classic way by just using P2P (e.g. BitTorrent) and also seeding yourself (as the hoster). Just run a seedbox of the capacity you want/can and let the audience help you by handling a share of the load they can. Wouldn't this save you some bandwidth while keeping the same service quality?

>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.

strawman argument. media isnt selling you fake insurance. even if it did, you have the power to change the channel and not buy it. by not allowing the fake salesman on the street, you are not letting market forces to decide for themselves.

why do you fear market forces would favour their lies over your alleged "truth"? if that is the case, the end users must surely be able to see white and black. let them decide.
Why do people here cry for freedom of speech ? We've had fake information laws in about every state in the last years. And now that it's not only banning some youtube accounts about covid but also fake information of russia about the war they are waging (and people they kill), you're surprised ?!

Great news for China as they take complete control over the Russian financial system.
This is a tiresome distraction; okay, so by your definition of war, this kind of proxy war doesn't count. Fair enough, your definition of war is reasonable. We'll call the state between Europe and Russia "war prime" or whatever, since apparently no one disagrees with the actual state of affairs, just what to call it. Now we're back to the initial exchange, which was:

Person A: Why ban Russian state media? Europe and Russia are not at war.
Person B: No, but they are at "war prime", which has some properties of war, including banning enemy propaganda.

Did creating the extra word to split the hair help resolve that conversation? It doesn't really feel like it to me. It seems like what most people would prefer the conversation be about is whether or not it makes sense to ban enemy propaganda in a state of "war prime" (or war, for that matter).
The average streaming client device cannot store enough video to meaningfully participate in peer to peer.

The average internet connection (at least in the US) doesn't have enough upload bandwidth modulo level of service to meaningfully participate in streaming peer to peer.

Watching video on a mobile phone is probably the median streaming use case.

I think I like the German design the best, by a pretty wide margin. The french design is terrible. Busy and hard to parse. The Italian is 2nd best to the German but has some advantages over the German design: Chiefly, links are clearly differentiated from text. Somehow though, the German design still manages to mostly differentiate the links from text by context with a couple of exceptions. The big advantage the German design has going for it, is that it's so clean and easy to parse. I can get into the correct pipeline in about 2 seconds. That's just not quite true for either of the others.

> how someone with a Russian bank account can pay for a meal in Shanghai or Mumbai.

Two weeks ago they'd just pull out their Visa/MasterCard, and since the restaurant and the Russian's bank are both in the Visa network, it gets taken care of that way. Visa and MasterCard are blocking service to sanctioned Russian banks, which explains why Russians are busy going to the ATM to pull out cash.

China has their own network called UnionPay, so those banks have probably been calling them to join this last week.

I can imagine that Russians will also install AliPay or WeChat.

I thought that because Singapore is primarily a market/port economy, having its currency pegged against a basket that covers the majority of its trade weightings would help it withstand dramatic movements in individual currency swap rates with the Singapore dollar.

I'm in Australia. Here if your child is a "close contact" (say someone in class is +ve) you have to do RATs for 5-7 days to keep sending them to school or care. It happened a lot for a while but is quieter now.

Any slight symptom (spend a lot of time judging how runny noses are) also = take a RAT.

The rules change a lot and are slightly different in every state.

The worst part was the rules started while RATs were very hard to get, people were paying $10 - $30 a test because the alternative was take a day of carer's leave. The costs added up very quickly with x kids by y days.

That is extremely misleading, men suffer from intense misandrism. Ukrainians men are forced to stay captive in their cities to fight while ukrainian women are allowed to save their lives and flee the city, because they own a vagina.
It's not terrain you ever want to be invading through, though.

Check out the "winter war". Invading would be a crapshoot both ways.

The Ukrainian border has no geographic features that would impede an invasion though, and would let NATO cut Russia off from its oil fields, form a land bridge to the caspian sea and cut Russia off from the black sea entirely all within about a day.

Its strategic significance cant be underestimated.
Yes, and a substantial exit tax.
No, you have it exactly correct.

They can split the country in East Ukraine and West Ukraine, so they can accomplish those things in a area that fits their budget.
> What will a dictator do when he realises that he cannot win the war by conventional means but by other means? That remains the most terrifying question today.

The scenario you're describing is basically the one they can't afford, it's simply too costly in men and weapons, without guarantees of outcome, military is not concentrated is the cities, and can expect a lot of help from the west. The level of incompetence display is incredible, which increases the danger of worse scenario, that don't make sense either.
IMO just signing packages is a weak form of trust. Even without potentially using Sigstore, does WAPM now let you lock based both on the versions of dependencies, as well as the hash of their contents? I didn't see any mention of lock files with hashes anywhere.
Indeed. Not to mention if you're at one of the bigger companies then you're more likely to change teams than leave the company entirely.

That's a fair point. My original assumption was that royalties wouldn't flow back to artists in a meaningful way but bandcamp has been a big advocate of fairness toward artists so that's really a fair take on my behalf.
The translation is just "OK". For example at 23 seconds it reads "We beat them" but Zelenskiy actually said "Ми їх б'ємо" - that is, "we are fighting them".

For getting the main points, it's OK.

I recommend subscribing to Zelenskiy's offical Telegram channel (1) to see his updates and addresses as they come out. English translations usually show up from a few hours to a day later. The linked video is there as well (2).

His bravery and courage are critical; he's a strong figure who hasn't run from Kyiv, and his people need that!

Add Kazakhstan to the list. Our diplomats abstained in the vote and refused to send any troops to Ukraine for exactly the same reasons. We share the longest land border with Russia. There's a large Russian diaspora here. Last year there was a heavy propaganda campaign in Russia where they were trying to spin up a story as if the Russian-speaking population was heavily discriminated against here. As a native Russian speaker, I assure you this is completely made up. But now I know why they were doing it and I'm afraid we're next.

It's a pretty difficult situation and it will be interesting to see how the government is going to work around it. Personally, I am looking for a way out before it's too late. There aren't very many of them with my citizenship, though.

My company is fully remote, and whilst I'd agree that it's certainly doable to onboard people remotely (we've absolutely done this successfully), I would also say it really depends on the types of people and I suspect possibly the roles as well.
Where I live in the US we have ADSL and to make peer-to-peer viable at all I have to put an upload cap on, otherwise the uplink gets saturated and downloads start having problems because the ACK packets get delayed or lost.

It drives me absolutely up the wall that some torrent networks insist that you have a 1-1 ratio because it is close to impossible for me and there is no point because often the network has so many seeds…. The fact that I can complete a transfer uploading just 5% of what I download proves my upload isn’t needed.
Well they probably do, if they prevent escape, as they very well might. But they also just impede traffic, slow things down. They also assist in controlling enemy approach to your advantage. You can booby trap them too. The document I linked to is a pretty no-nonsense discussion of the uses and limitations of these things in warfare.

e.g.

ABATIS

An abatis is an effective obstacle against tanks and other vehicles in a heavily-wooded area with few roads or trails. An abatis can be constructed rapidly using demolition to fell trees. The trees should be felled at a 45-degree angle to the road or trail. The tree should remain attached to the stump to make the obstacle more effective and difficult to clear.

To calculate the amount of explosive necessary for tree cutting, use the formula: D (diameter of the tree trunk, in inches) squared divided by 50, for a test shot.

This formula is used to compute the amount of TNT required. The results of the test shot will determine if more or less explosive is necessary for subsequent shots.

Place the charges at a height of 5 feet above the ground. The trees will fall toward the side where the explosive is placed. One side of the abatis should be blown, and the other side delayed, until the first row has fallen.

If time allows, mines, wire, and booby traps can be added to make clearing more difficult. Modular Pack Mine System (MOPMS) exploded on the obstacle adds an excellent tank "killer" capability.

Log posts

Posts are among the best antivehicular obstacles because each post presents breaching problems to the attacker. There are no fast methods of breaching a belt of posts. Normally, the attacker will try to bypass such an obstacle. Therefore, post obstacles should be placed where bypass requires much time and effort. Posts should be hardwood with a minimum diameter of 40 centimeters (15.8 inches).

All posts are buried 1.5 meters (5 feet) in the ground, either vertically or at a slight angle toward the enemy, and project between 75 to 120 centimeters (30 to 48 inches) above ground level. The height should vary from post to post. The minimum acceptable density for posts is 200 per 100 meters (328 feet) of front. The spacing should be irregular, with at least 1 meter (3.3 feet), and not more than 2 meters (6.6 feet), between posts.

The effect of post type obstacles can be improved, and the obstacles made more difficult to breach, by weaving spirals of barbed wire among the posts. Exploding MOPMS into the obstacle after completion greatly increases its effectiveness. Conventional mines can also be used to make the obstacle more difficult to breach.
Bikesharing makes visiting cities cities much more enjoyable: instead of having to choose between travelling underground or having to keep track of a rented bike, you can enjoy cycling with a shared bike and not worry about locking it or having it returned during working hours before you leave.

Even if this whole thing started as an anarchist experiment, it makes a lot of sense as a way to boost tourism. It's a pity cities like Barcelona restrict these bikes to residents.
> especially ERP systems, are to a huge extend a colection of process best parctices

I would actually go further and say that enterprise ERPs are full-fledged development environments, often with custom languages and code editors. Quality varies wildly, though.

The fact that some of them are able to handle the processes of some companies out of the box is almost accidental.

Easy. A marginal purchase of software in an enterprise is expensive in human terms. Adding a feature and notching the price up is trivial.

Case in point, I manage an org with a $200M budget. I have a budget line for a $90 software item for some VIP somewhere that has to be justified/validated annually by somebody. That $90 probably costs is $500.

But… We subscribe to office. Adding teams required zero effort, because of the bundling effect. Slack at the time was going through a PoC/vetting process, but why bother if I have a 80% product. The pitch was that Teams was “free”… although mysteriously the price of Office was revised upward.

Since all crypto transactions are traceable, I doubt it's something corrupt officials want to implement, they wouldn't be able to hide their stealing that way.

The Chinese government most likely can already see virtually all transactions made by the common Chinese folk, since WeChat/AliPay is very popular there.
Scala is far ahead of its time. And has been since 2014.
Ottoman Empire had the same dilemma that Russia has been facing. It's economy was struggling, parts of it was turning into nation-states and it was involved in long wars in which it had no clear dedication.

Russia (or Putin, to be frank) chose to try restoring the empire. Ottoman Sultans were trying to do the same as well, and failing. Atatürk, saw this and decided to create a Turkish identity, which was far from the main identity of the Ottomans. Some minorities were also integrated into this identity, using the language or religion.

The Armenians however, being one of the oldest settlers in Anatolia, shared none of these. As well as the Kurds and the Greek. Many were displaced (and yes, it was a genocide, I'm not dancing around the word) and suffered a lot more than it's imaginable today.

So I understand why they are afraid of their neighbor, and therefore skeptical towards NATO.

Most of the Turkish (the minority I'm in, being the exception) don't want to accept any stain on their saviors history, so they deny any wrongdoing with passion. Their (well, our) whole identity is created through that process, you have to understand the sensitivity. Many like me are coming to terms with what actually happened, but it's hard. The religious barrier is also not making things easier for many others.

I really wish eventually Turkey will recognize what happened, and some signs of diplomacy will start to show. Until then, I totally understand the Armenian position.

I'm living in another country now, and my favorite restaurant has Armenian owners. We are good friends. They do support Ukraine in this war, but still show sympathy to the Russian ambitions. These things are hard to change and are ingrained in our brains when we are growing up, and we should be okay with it. This is how being respectful to other peoples opinions work.

Disclosure: I consider myself of Turkish origin, not that I don't have my identity crises every now and then.
Perhaps because the demand for vehicles post COVID is exceeding supply.

However, is it just drawing forward future demand, which would mean the inflation is temporary?

I mean after a 2 year recession caused by the pandemic, in terms of large consumer items, like vehicles, you'd expect that. People want/need to start travelling again.
