"We" did not escalate this; Russia did by annexing Crimea in 2014 and invading Ukraine. They could have chosen not to do so and instead focus on building up good international relationships. What did they think they had to gain from annexing neighbouring territory? More control over the Black Sea I guess, but why do they want that control in the first place?

Russia can de-escalate by withdrawing. The only way for 'the west' to de-escalate at this point is to tell Ukraine to just roll over and get annexed. Is that preferable?

And once Russia controls Ukraine, then what? Everybody's happy, and they'll just leave it at that? What is Putin's goals after Ukraine?

I'll admit I'm not educated in international politics, I've just pivoted from an armchair virologist to an armchair politician / military expert on the internets.
> apply for PhD in EPHE institute of France [...] I got nothing in response.

Well, that's hardly surprising, and it's not because you're Russian, in France it's hard to get any institution to ever reply you by mail, let alone if (I guess) you wrote to them in English.

If you want to work or do a PhD in France (in English) I can offer some support and pointers for my region, you can hit me up at the email on my profile.
I have an old Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bricked a year back in the process of trying to make a backup of the data on it (the irony)... I think I may have blown the knox fuse. Could this be leveraged to give me my files back?
Did you consider the possibility that you're like many (most?) of US people just brainwashed (hard to believe, I know, after all you live in the capital of the said free world)? It might be that simple.

Nato is a defensive alliance, why exactly does Russia need to stop it? NATO would never attack Russia, a nuclear power capable of ending the world as we know it.

> USA definitely had the plan for a war with cuba, but it luckily didn't happen

This is a really weird way to write “USA decided not to fight a war with Cuba”, everybody makes all kinds of plans.
Ukraine was not going to join NATO, given that it's having an ongoing territorial dispute with Russia.

But also, Russia's belief that it's entitled to decide for another sovereign country which clubs it can and cannot join reveals what Russia's actual intentions were. [EDIT: The relevant club for Ukraine is actually the European Union.]

The so-called "anti-Imperialists" on the far left like George Galloway who have always seen NATO as the enemy, and have always supported anti-NATO countries like Russia, Iran, Venezuela and China with 95% of their throats, have a really odd understanding of what imperialism is. Is this war the most blatant, non-galaxy-brained instance of "imperialism" that we've seen in many of our lifetimes?
The security of the system is entirely because this key material cannot be extracted.

I don't know how Samsungs trust zone implementation works, but the Apple secure elements (Ax,Mx,and T2 coprocessor) burn fuses randomly inside the SoC on first power up. Those fuses are used to further encrypt everything down the line from that. There are APIs on macOS+iOS to create asymmetric keys where the private key is handled by the secure element and cannot ever be extracted. Encryption (or signing) using those keys is performed by the coprocessor.

This is the model you want from any "hardware wallet" you might have, and is the model you want to actually secure your data.
I have done plenty of cognitive science (intelligence, curiosity) research and psychology (personality) research that is unpatantable yet contributing to the pace of scientific progress. I have never considered slowing my research because of "ownership" of this work.
i wonder what other countries have gotten this treatment? as an american, should i worry about getting kicked off my webhost the next time we start a war of aggression?
That's the real issue right now, the people can do all kinds of civil disobedience, but as long as the police just rounds them up and arrests them by the thousands it won't change anything.

I wonder what it'll take. Given that currently the Russian economy is getting decimated, I wonder if it'll take a few weeks or months of not getting paid. But that might just make them more ruthless and make them start extorting people for money, since they still hold power.
If they don't have that wage, how do they eat?
To Cyprus, Russian migrate to hide their money here and live a normal life in a normal country. They are not poor by any measure.
I don't know. The propaganda has been working extremely well, and (IMHO) any dissent was possible mostly due to the internet being widely available, which is closing down pretty fast.

Some of my Russian friends (most of whom work in IT) are leaving the country already, others are looking for the best way to go about it.

Children in kindergartens have been building toy tanks and missiles for the past few years, the remains of the free press have written about this extensively. "Patriotic education" in schools is growing and is pushing the worldview of the madman on top into the growing kids' conscience.

I think the country is fucked, honestly. There's no decent way to say it.
You'd better read a book on Swiss civics.
I wrote a matrix multiplication routine on a Haswell a few years ago, for no particular reason. I chose an 8x8 minimum block size since it seemed like the most convenient one, and I had one or two more block sizes for cache utilization IIRC. It was a few tens of lines of code and the performance in GFLOPS was 80% of peak which was actually a pleasant surprise. I think it was because of fmaddps latency. My code would like four but on Haswell it is five cycles. So the other types of instructions (prefetch, broadcast, loops) basically did not have any impact on speed.

How did that happen?, Did they own Russia or something?
Which explicit words?
I've read that Strassen's algorithm, and fast matrix multiplication algorithms in general, accumulate too much numerical errors to be useful with single precision (f32) floats. That's why they were not in use before year 2000. With f64 it's better, and in the past 20 years there's been research on how to augment the fast algorithms to decrease the numerical errors. But those extra steps also make the fast algorithms slower. I don't know what the current situation is.
You don't know my life story but you accused me for supporting the war; you don't know all Russians, but labelled all the people just by nationality. How different are you from nazis blaming Jewish for being Jewish?

Just simple test: I have 3-5 reachouts every day for relocation help from Ukraine and Russia. I will say them: "Hey, danols from HN told me that I'm russian therefore I should support the war. please contact to him". Are you ready to take responsibility for them and help them all?

It is hard to believe until you think about the lifestyle working in tech will lean one towards. It is then quite easy to see how, and why more extreme measures are required to get healthy. No fault of anyone, more like a price to pay for the otherwise pretty chill means of existing.
To large extend, because this is international forum. While some Americans don't mind to sacrifice others, other nato members in fact mind being sacrificed. For them "realpolitik" is not "sacrifice me", no matter how much it makes you uncomfortable.
It would be worthy of investigation if these people behaved in any way different from Russians in Russia. But they don't. My conclusion is that it has nothing to do with propaganda - to which those living abroad are naturally exposed less - but just because of what these people are.

Yes, after Soviet Union fell, we Russians found out that all we've been taught about capitalism was true: unemployment, dog-eat-dog competition, class divide and all that stuff. It's not at all a paradise we have imagined. It's time for you to see that all you've been told about Communism was true, too: McCarthy was an idiot, but he was right. There are no "good Russians" waiting to be liberated from "evil Putin". There are "evil Commies" who Putin wholly represents.

Stop trying to "fix" Russia. It is impossible. It has to be contained, made as weak and irrelevant as possible to present less danger.
It's quiet but doesn't seem dead. I've heard Microsoft use it extensively internally and it has come from a MS employee.
Kolmogorov was Russian, don't use any statistics derived from his probability formulation!
Anyone still thinking this is about Ukraine joining NATO is completely delusionary.

Putin literally said, he doesn't think that Ukraine is a country.

This always was about Putin needing another win either for his reelection or before he dies.
He wouldn't have believed the list. Just like a lot of Europeans didn't believe he would invade Ukraine.
It's cool, I like this methodology a lot because it can piece together functionally really well.

Because that's what war is?

Why take the fun out of it for them? Between russian based spam on my web contact form and a third of the port sniffing coming from russian based addresses it seems they love a challenge. I'm not giving it to them for free.
Sounds a bit like fuchsias launchpad library where you create launchpad object, do all the setup, and then call launchpad_go to actually start the process. Launchpad doesn't allow arbitrary syscalls in the setup, so in that sense it is maybe closer to "spawn" interface but with better ergonomics

In most governments that work where people can affect change these kinds of squeezes and the sanctions might even lead to a coup or real change ... but what I know about Russia is that Putin's grasp on power is so iron-clad that nothing will change. This only hurts innocent bystanders.

Nobody wins in a war only the arms dealers do.
From Russia’s point of view, they had many reasons to annex Crimea. It wasn’t just a random act of aggression.

Having studied this situation a bit, my conclusion is that both sides are to blame, with Russia being considerably more culpable due to choosing the violent option. Geopolitics isn’t simple and thinking that one side is entirely to blame is just naive and falling for propaganda.

By escalation I’m referring to the giant effort to exclude Russia from everything, including liquor stores and name registrars.
I still don't get this line of reasoning. Pulsed MCF research devices only get hot on divertors and are thermally lagged. These distinctions don't seem important because they're decoupled from the physics.
The thing is "neutral state" for Putin means a russian vassal state. So not an option.
"Russia has no fear of NATO" => "Putin takes Baltic states".
> I just though we had (almost) arrived in a post-war, federation-like world

15 years ago Russia was participating in NATO and even US-lead exercises like BALTOPS. Putin suggested to join NATO in the early 2000s.
Their administration with the "help" of harvard helped to produce the economic "success" that was 90s russia:

I suspect that there could be common factors driving the decisions of a large number of market participants. Further research into this area is warranted.
There's rich economic reasons and poor economic reasons, they are still economic reasons, none of them are migrating to be integrated, just to be more wealthy.
>Saying "Ukraine will remain neutral and will not join NATO" would have stopped this war.

>It's an unpopular fact but it's still true.

absolutely not. The events of the last few days show exactly why Ukraine was right to want to join NATO. Ukraine knows Russia probably better than anybody else in the world.

If anything Ukraine's refusal to promise neutrality is just a convenient - in Russian view - excuse for the invasion. Blaming Ukraine like you do is just a victim blaming.
Well, Russia being part of NATO and what the consequences are... I guess we'll never know.

What would happen if NATO seriously offered to take both Ukraine and Russia as members TODAY?
Hold on... Which administration?, did the Clinton's rule in Russia?

Even your article says the Russian Administration did this.

If I were to look at who's rich right now it's Putin and his accolade... so it seems they plundered and stole and destroyed everything.
Because you sometimes want to filter, sort or project your data. Then you have to handle this in viewmodels or invent more and more features for the templating language. Then you want to refactor into components. So you need facilities for invoking subcomponents. Maybe you want something recursive to display tree-like data.

So you end up with a secondary full featured language usually with worse IDE support, worse error messages, more surprising issues, etc. You need to understand the scoping mecanisms and if things go wrong hope there is a debug tool available.

And in the end those templating languages do not prevent you from mixing UI responsibilities from the rest of your code.

If you want a reactive model you can have one. I personally prefer explicit messages like calling setState.

I had exactly the same experience with a .name domain two decades ago. You'll explain every single time you mention it.

And I thought short domains are cool and abbreviated the name to 3 letters. Today I only communicate the full <first>@<last>.name.

I learned a lot about slooowly migrating names along the way.
How do you determine the going rate? Are rates advertised somewhere for comparison? Seems like a pretty risky thing to advertise.
If they have that wage, how do they eat? Russia is not self-sufficient. Going it alone means people will starve to death.

They won't starve to death in March, but it won't be long before buffers are empty. There is a window to do something about it.
If Russia had joined NATO then there would be nothing to stop Putin taking the Baltic states right now.
> So Turks in Germany can have schools in Turkish for their children? Do you have a source for this?

Sure: https://www.schulentwicklung.nrw.de/materialdatenbank/materi...

That's the official lesson plan for non-German lessons in NRW; other German states have similar plans (teaching is devolved to the states in Germany). Notice that this is the plan used in the state-sponsored lessons; private schools are free to use their own plans.
We need another one to track how close we are to Doomsday, and it's time to get to the basement. Like if you see Peter Thiel private jet heading off to New Zealand...
Ask HN: Is mobile the future of cross platform apps?
With Windows Subsystem for Android in preview for W11, both MacOS and Windows will now have first class support for running mobile versions of apps on the desktop.

I can definitely see the appeal for mobile apps if the only alternative is Electron. For example, the iOS versions of Discord and Slack when sideloaded on an M1 mac are much lighter on CPU and RAM while also being smoother compared to the "native" clients.

So if the dream of true native on all platforms ends up failing for someone's use case, this might be a desirable option as a stopgap before going full webview on desktop.

Strange enough, Spanish version of RT is very social issue orientated and probably people who watch English version would describe them as "social justice warriors".
This is an interesting and valid point. Though, even if I could, why would I? Forming a bond (be it faked or real) with a person who might end up despising you for your blood (which you are trying to escape), and then trying to integrate into a hostile foreign culture — it's like trading one hellhole for another.

It might be worth the struggle in case of a sincere relationship, but not just for the sake of saving my sorry ass.
Consider a different case ...

One can make a good case that Britain's guarantee to Poland in 1939 was done badly. Britain failed to convince Hitler that she was serious, and that invasion of Poland would lead to war.

We can agree that the 'blame' falls on Hitler. But one can also reflect on whether Britain's actions could have been better thought out, and maybe learn some lessons for the future.

In the case of Putin's Russia, NATO is dealing with a major nuclear power. Saying that Putin is at fault is fine. I very much dislike Putin. But we have to co-exist with Russia whether we like it or not. I am interested in reading some 'realpolitik' on this topic. In particular, I'd like to understand Putin's and Russia's motives, fears, ambitions, etc.
[The operator] said the satellite connections stopped working on Thursday, knocking out remote monitoring and control of the wind turbines, which have a total capacity of 11 gigawatt (GW).

I grew up in Eastern Europe and your statement regarding "the elevation of hustle and cunning above all other forms of intelligence" rings so true and brings back memories. When I grew up, being able to criminally take advantage of other people and the state was revered as a highly desirable trait. I suspect that any behaviour that leads to monetary success in a society, will slowly become admired, regardless if it's ethical or not.
Given that ISO20022 (MX) contains thousands of message types already, it certainly wouldn't be surprising to see a few more appear.

In addition to that, SWIFT has something called MyStandards, which basically enables financial institutions to create/share/use their own message formats. Insert XKCD-927.
Well, such approach to foreign policy (if destroying a nation just to mess with a third party can be called that) certainly backfired, as now historically neutral nations want to join NATO.
Those are monthly security patches. Really unwise to ignore.
Also, Russia already has NATO states on its borders, and there aren't nukes stationed there.
> But if that's just a pretext, what's the actual reason? I haven't seen a good answer yet.

Because in Putin's mind, "Soviet" and "Russian" are synonyms. In other words, the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 was to him the breakup of Russia, and as a Russian nationalist he sees that as a great tragedy. He blames it on the Communists for adopting a constitutional structure which contained within it the seeds of separatism; the Communists only ever meant it as lip-service, and as long as they remained in control that was all it was, but as they lost control those seeds began to sprout and 1991 was the result. To him, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians, etc, are not neighbouring foreign nationalities, they are Russians, they are traditional ethnic minorities of the Russian nationality, just as he views Chechens, Tatars, Tuvans, etc, as being.

He wants to "Make Russia Great Again" by reversing the breakup of 1991, or getting as close to that goal as he possibly can. And annexing large parts of Ukraine and installing one or more puppet governments in the rest is, in his mind, an important step towards that ultimate goal.

It’s actually pretty interesting to watch because they are obviously keeping their civilian transponders on and are super obvious on flight tracking maps, exactly for this reason, they want the entire world to know they are not crossing the border, even if they are conducting military operations that would normally be sensitive enough they have transponders off at the moment is a “transponders on” environment for everyone who isn’t fighting.
I really hope there are some retro consoles can play Pico-8 games natively, but seems not yet?
Who says they supported it? What can "the people" do if elections are fraudulent, constitutions are changed, and any protests are beaten down by police? How many people have been arrested and disappeared for protesting against the invasion?

I mean, even in the US protesters managed to break into Congress, some with the intent to kill. If they were armed things would look very different now. What would have happened if Trump - who looks up to Putin - did things like declare martial law or change the constitution? It would have been possible; he put a new supreme judge in place, and 'his' party held a majority in the various houses. But that assumes a democratic process; if he had more cronies, he wouldn't need to follow a democratic process to become a dictator, only the pretense thereof.
I paid for the "upgrade" behind the empty exit row on a transatlantic flight once and it was kind of the worst flight I ever had.
Usually only my legs hurt from being cramped in but on that flight we were somehow sitting directly in the vent of the A/C - it was the first time I needed a blanket and had a sore throat after just a few hours in the plane. Getting up and moving 3m to the left it was completely fine, so surely not just coincidentally getting a cold... And the entertainment/cupholder foldout thingy also was really flimsy and weird.
Look... i live in the balkans... i had nato planes flying over my head, bombing a country <300 miles away... say what you want, but nato is far from just defense. Also, who was nato defending in afghanistan? Iraq? ...?

And there's a difference between a "lets prepare, just in case if cuba attacks" and "let's make a false flag attack, and kill our own people, so we can attack cuba".
The behaviour of subprocesses inheriting resources like file descriptors is absolutely bizarre. Why on earth would you want this to be the default?! But we're so used to it, we think it's normal.
Basically, it is American duty to make it possible and easy for Russia to take Ukraine. First by making vague promisses of help to make them give up nuclear arsenal in nineties, then by making sure they are cant join nato and third by making sure they are demilitarized.

Yes, if America did the above, Russia would not had to do actual full on war in there. They would be able to just take it.
At least he didn't blow up apartment buildings in Russia and blame it on Ukraine.
