> a lot of their employees live/lived in Ukraine

I get the impression this is a lot of why they made this business decision. They're standing strongly by their employees.
Hyperloop One gets an investment from Russia’s sovereign fund
GM was also ready to get into bed with Nikola which was an obvious pile of bullshit even before the Hindenburg report. I’d not want to be the one holding the bag there while management scrambles to catch up. Probably the best for him to get out now.
Aside from the backslash history, Windows is very impressive in preserving backward compatibility. I still use a few programs over 20 years old (including JASC Paintshop Pro 7 from 2000, the 10 year old anniversary edition) and they still run on Windows 10.
The amount of corruption that I’ve felt when I was in Kiev is crazy: somebody stole my passport, and I had to give money to a policeman to get it back (also I had to buy another plane ticket to get back to my country).

Ukraine is clearly not yet ready for a fast approval process to join the EU. At the same point it needs to join the NATO, as it’s clearly working together with it at this point.
Yes, this is how a casino works by the very design of the game, as you mention. I would be very surprised if someone did not know that.

As for lotteries, they also ban people if they win too frequently. This doesn't happen for random lotteries where you pick random numbers since I've never heard of a case where someone managed to figure out how such a lottery worked without committing a crime, but many government operated lotteries do run sports books and if you win too frequently they do ban you.
> and who have the engineering resources of an entire state

It's not at all clear Ukraine had that kind of resources to invest in a nuclear weapons program, even if its government decided it would like to have one. Not to mention the fact that, were a decision like this taken, a Russian invasion would have been put into motion within the week.

> Such an operation cannot need more than a few months at most.

I believe you are massively underestimating here.
The good news is that some attempts at moving further towards long term-monetisation like BF2042 have completely failed.

I think subscriptions to games with overheads (company controlled servers only) are not unreasonable. World of Warcraft and Eve online were early adopters here and did pretty well with new content releases to keep users engaged. I lost interest in a lot of games that basically became 'pay to win'.

Lootboxes, drops etc. are basically gambling, and are even worse if assets are non-saleable or transferrable. There are related real-world scenarios that go way back such as 'booster pack' card games, chewing gum sports cards and toy dispensers.

"It’s an idiosyncrasy to which we are dedicated."

Sounds like a good thing to me.

It quickly identifies you as someone who prioritizes personal idiosyncrasies over communicating whatever it is you want to communicate - since pretty much every reader will do a double-take on the date (or is it a date?) and be distracted from reading the content.

That's helpful, since one can generally assume that anyone with that attitude isn't communicating anything useful.
I imagine the conversation goes like this "Sorry, Mr Xi Jinping, your bombs caused seismic activity that destroyed the calibration of our machines and of the the 5,000 highly trained engineers we employ, only 2 turned up today and I'm not sure how much work we can expect from Raffles the team mascot.
> I often drive with sub in my eyes at dawn/dusk and trust that the road is clear

Not sure how to say it, but try to never do that going forward, please, for your sake and for the sake of the others who share the same road with you. Yes, driving "blind" for one second, maybe two seconds (even though it's uncomfortable for me at this point) from time to time is not the end of the world, particularly if you're driving straight and you had "scanned" the road in front of you beforehand, but driving while "trusting" in others will get you into accidents. Never drive faster than you can see.
I'd love to have a reading list well-managed and with minimal friction to add and track (without buying yet).

I use both 1. Amazon shopping list, and 2. a custom chrome extension -to- airtable action.

The second lets me track who recommended this to me and why I would want to read this. Usually I have this context only at the moment of discovering a new book (often on HN, or blogs I frequent) but it's incredibly helpful when deciding what next book to read.
Yes all are on crypto exchanges, alongside retail. They grow fast because they provide an immediate service.

Basically what happens is that they grow soooo fast that they arent able to handle customer support, cant list new assets that customers want fast enough, that even institutions want.

So then the next startup crypto exchange lists the newly desired assets and attracts the whole network and people fearing missing out.

And it keeps going. Thats the primary way they compete. There is a bunch of stuff behind the scenes for market depth and liquidity, but it reduces the need for exchanges to compete with each other on liquidity so its not really a factor just like trading commissions are really how they compete.

Boom town.
things can change quickly. i dont know whats going to happen. thats kinda the point.
I think the issue is that this isn't a "fact of life", so github could either show the original email or pull in the account with a verified email. What it does now appears to be a bug.
> proclaiming to the world that you intend to be and are proudly taking the mantle of "warcriminal"

Well, Russia's been attacking hospitals and having their forces dress in enemy uniforms or peacekeeping symbols. So they don't exactly care about not committing war crimes.

I don't really understand very well why countries do so much shady stuff, gaslighting and propaganda. To me, it's a binary choice; either (a) you're not evil, so you don't do evil things, or (b) you are evil, so you do evil things.

Whereas for a lot of countries (Russia particularly right now, but also China, and some of the shadier stuff the US has done in the past) there seems to be a lot of instances of (c) you know what's right and wrong, but you do the wrong thing anyway and try to hide it.

To me this just seems irrational, a logical fallacy of the form "I simultaneously believe both P and not P" -- You simultaneously recognize that morality is important (because you try to actively cover up or lie about your immoral actions), and you spit on it at the same time (because you do the immoral actions when you have an alternative course of not doing them).

Now imagine you had that treatment daily. Perhaps it would not excite you as much and it could not possibly be memorable as a mundane experience. Such are advantages of not being able to always afford the best of the best
It's a bit frustrating because if all calls were mostly autonomous we could likely have less traffic deaths within a few years. Self driving cars are already great at making snap judgements. Better than most humans. They also make a lot less stupid mistakes than humans do.

The edge cases are the hard part. A human knows what to do when a random construction worker or cop is directing traffic. Self driving car? Not so much.

> But no real military conflict

NK and the US are still in a state of war, I believe. US vessels and other kinds of armaments are semi-surrounding it, and again IIRC there are occasional joint military exercises of the US and SK.

I mean, Seattle is a hellscape to me lol. I mostly kid, i live south of Tacoma, i just hate the homeless problem in Olympia, Seattle. The roads in southern Seattle also make me want to die hah.

Anyway, just making local-jokes mostly. Not actually attacking Seattle :)

edit: Is it because i was kidding, or is very mild criticism of Seattle not appreciated? It's not like i live in Texas and have never been there lol.
> The cognitive dissonance required to understand these two separate but conflicted actions is kind boggling.

Is it really though?

They are pipelines that exist on different continents, with one traveling over home-soil and cancelled due to environmental reasons while the other was temporarily blocked due to political sanctions.
There are two pipes: one bings gas from Russia and the other cash from Europe. You turn the first one off, the second one is off as well.
I don't want to start flame war, and I really feel bad for your situation for for situation of many other people who opposed Putin regime who got majorly f(&d today (my head was spinning last few days as I saw russian economy falling through the bottom while city where I born is shelled), but... actions (or not actions) of Russian population over past 20 years created today's situation (don't tell me that you don't know the common opinion in russia that Ukrainians not really nation and do not deserve their own state). You are unfortunately collateral damage of your own actions, not of those of EU. EU and rest of the world trying to do damage control.

I really do sorry for your situation, I really hope that namecheap will work out with you. I do hope that EU and other countries will extend humanitarian visas to people that try to escape russia now before iron curtain will fall down. Yet, at this moment, it is what it is.
Here's one way you could implement first-class support for this use case. It's a bit of a hack, but it's simple. IIUC, the proxy is a sidecar, meaning it runs in the same network namespace as the main container. So the proxy could listen on a particular port on localhost, and as long as a connection is open to that port, the sweeper wouldn't touch that pod. Then the main container would just need to open a TCP connection for the period of time that it wants to make sure it stays running.

They’re terminating their contract, not reneging.

Given SPECTRE and rowhammer, I just don't believe that. This gives attackers full degrees of freedom to reactively search for a crack in the process space. With a normal statically compiled decoder, as an attacker you have a certain degree of freedom, but it is far less (unless one of your formats is a programmable environment, e.g. NGO's iOS exploit).

I, for one, would not be comfortable having content distributed as a blob that runs as a virtual machine that builds the software that decodes the content. Justine has made this practical. I can see the appeal. I just worry that we're trading in our jpgs for exes in a sandbox, and I'm not sure its worth the risk.
Honestly I don't see what this will accomplish. Employer posts salary. Candidate interviews. Actual salary will be higher or lower than the salary dependent on perceived experience. Equity grants boost TC to the stratosphere.

The distinction is in where the potential harm can be.

With the current status quo (unverified email addresses can "steal" commits), you create confusion in the general developer community. Anyone who looks at those mis-attributed commits will be confused, and possibly misled.

If GH didn't associate commits unless the email address was verified, then, yes, some people wouldn't get "bragging rights", but the harm would be limited to that person. Others who look at those commits would still see the correct person's name, even though it wouldn't be associated with a particular GH account.
But it's not finished. Have you asked Cruise testers how many interventions they have had to do in equivalent drives as Tesla FSD Beta?

It's strange to me that Tesla who are building this in the open are criticised for being dishonest. Meanwhile ALL the competitors are closed door private development and some how we should trust them more? In an industry that is known for deceitful behaviour.
I'm actually curious what makes you say the philosophies are similar? I see that the robinhood foundation site says "Last year, we invested $172 million in over 900 of the most impactful nonprofits across New York City, including over $80 million for COVID-19 relief."

One idea I see expressed in Effective Altruism circles a lot is that a life overseas in some poor country is worth as much as a life here (in NYC where I live). Wondering how giving in NYC is more impactful than giving to unsexy causes like malaria nets abroad, given how expensive everything is in NYC.

I'm always skeptical of company's philanthropic arms because it's so easy to give to causes that make the company looks good instead of giving to causes based the most good you can do.

Although, I thank my direct parent for sharing that link, don't mean to come across as argumentative.
You are wrong. You can decline to renew a contract but you can't just drop an active one without consequences. We will teach you to respect the law and contracts.
It's really not clear to me what gives a human the nearly-magical ability to make decisions that a computer could not possibly make.

If anything, I think we've seen that computers are much better than humans at making decisions in an ever-expanding set of narrow contexts (eg.: chess, go, protein folding...). It's not so much a matter of "can a computer do it better", it's more a question of "when are we going to figure out how to break down the problem in a way that a computer can solve much better than a human".
Just to state the obvious, that assumes other sensors are net additive.

I’m not sure how valid an assumption that is, they could wind up just adding complexity and creating noise.
I really hope the CEO, Richard Kirkendall, responds to your comment. It would be cowardly not to do so.

Edit: It seems like he has responded to other comments but not this one.
The first amendment makes speech protected from state action. The government of the United States of America is bound by law to not suppress the political speech of its citizens. I don't think it is relevant to international boycotts, in letter or in spirit.

> it promised to forsake nuclear weaponry in order to be allowed to pursue peaceful nuclear technology.

Nope. The JCPOA agreement acknowledged (i.e. the US, the European signatories etc acknowledged) that Iran did _not_ have a nuclear weapons program. The JCPOA put in place stronger safeguards to ensure that remains the case.
We've always had a policy that almost anything goes excluding human rights abuses and especially war crimes and supporting violence. Nothing changed here.

perhaps if the ukrainians had already been armed and practiced in gun safety and usage, they wouldve been an even harder target.
I have not, the mando player in my band plays an acoustic with bridge pickup. It sounds fantastic and it's never caused feedback, so again why sacrifice the sound that makes these folk instruments what they are? If you want to shred or heavy warp the sound you can still do so.

Maybe I'm just bitter on how much I spent on my electric fiddle only to never play it.
Let me elaborate it to you - you need to update your calendar. It is not 1980 anymore, it is 2022 and Ukraine is independent country who is willing to join EU and NATO. This is their choice and nobody has any say in this.

And you are right. This is an ideological question. A principal question. This is why we are backing Ukraine against aggressor in this illegal war.

Use a Russian registrar. Or leave Russia. This sucks. War sucks. But I don’t see how anyone can continue doing business in Russia while maintaining a clean conscience.

Tell me about it. I have invested in a new business (anyone want a fully custom PC case? heh), and now I have to stock up on food and seriously consider how to live with long mass blackouts, as well as prepare for mobilization to fight Russian invaders if they succeed in Ukraine. Eh, I'm already suicidal, so that would be a better way to go, I guess.

That's good, however it still happens. Personally seen many of cases of children on puberty blockers, who knows how many there are. Regardless, it is becoming the norm to let children do as they please unless you would like to be labeled as an abusive parent. Here's the thing, getting medication for a psychological disorder should be very difficult, there's a reason countries don't just hand out Ritalin to every kid.
I'm not in Russia and I don't really care about this war (sorry, just being honest!) but this isn't the kind of internet I want, where companies show their virtue by taking political positions and removing service from their customers (looking at you AWS). The domain and e-mail service that I paid money for shouldn't be contingent on my government behaving and continuing to behave in a manor that Namecheap approves of.

No, it sounds like a superpower attacked a sovereign country for no other reason than conquest, and we all do what we can to fight back.

There are a few key points in the process that you could easily disrupt and pretty much cause a scorched earth type of response. There are a few ways to do it as well...like export all of the photo masks to the US or Europe. Those fabs can't produce anything without them...and all of the ones for their Taiwan advanced fabs could probably all be loaded into a dozen or less shipping containers. Destroying them is another way to go about it if you can't get them out of the country safely.

This is what sanctions are. Blocking bank accounts also hurts the people trying to flee, but it's one of the standard sanctions. It seems that everyone is hoping that making the Russian people's lives more difficult will make them stop supporting Putin and he will end the attack because of that. Why a dictator would care at all whether citizens support him or not is unlear to me, so I can't imagine any of this is going to be particularly effective.
