> I think it's reasonable to expect either (1) support to be at least as responsive and competent as sales

What do you mean by "reasonable"?

Because, while I wish it were so, I have never ever experienced support as responsive as sales.
Why would HR care?

Companies that own lots of commercial real estate in down town areas trying to get people back in the office, sure.
Armenia lost 0.17% of its population in that war, mostly young conscripts. And tbh it was a war that could be stopped rather easily by threatening to sanction AZB. Instead there was more talk about how effective drones are at killing armenians. And the alignments in the region are all over the place. Georgia is invaded, AZB is tied to turkey but also to russia, iran is in russia's axis. Probably one of the worse positions on the map right now.
Not really. It has an "assistance" clause which does not say anything about military assistance.

It was left intentionally vague.
They throw around "market rates" like there's a local market. Grouping employees into buckets by postal code makes sense for work-from-the-office arrangements.

On the other hand, in theory the bottom markets will see their rates rise quickly (because they merged into one wider remote market) if remote is as popular as it apparently is.
On one hand yeah but on the other it would require a ludicrous amount of change that we won't see for the forseeable future.
Additionally Russia and Turkey's populations are too big would create power imbalances in the EU that Italy, Germany and France wouldn't like. Oh and eastern EU countries are absolutely (and justifiably) paranoid over Russia of course
The pipeline is still sitting there ready to go. I agree that it is highly unlikely to get used at this point, but if hypothetically Ukraine started blowing up pipelines, I don't think Europe would have much of a choice. It would be hard to stand on moral principle when elderly people are freezing to death and there are rolling brownouts.

Why is that likely?

It definitely does catch bugs for me. It's admittedly not all that frequent, but it's quite useful when it does.
Vueling, Booking.com, Dropbox for example.
People forget that the EU has it's own mutual defence clause that calls everyone into war.
It's because none of these things are really germane to what Putin wants.

Ukraine is a pivot, not the prize.

Putin wants Ukraine, and the Luhansk/Donetsk "peacekeeping" situations were largely manufactured to give a pretext to explain the trucks crossing the border -- which let's be honest he abandoned within less than 24 hours.

The abusive partner analogy again: it's like when (usually a) woman agrees to sacrifice some freedom (her male friends, not socialising with a particular female friend, not going to the gym on her own) because it "unnerves" her partner. It's never asked in good faith, and it always prefigures more sacrifice down the line.

Putin has manufactured these things you think Ukraine could consider compromising on.
Coelux - mentioned in the article - has built a very expensive ($30k) but also very realistic product. Wondering if it can get to mass production and maybe cost $3k?
>Even if the replacement can be found "quickly", how do you ensure they don't go offline in the middle of streaming? How do you ensure "enough" copies of every chunk are distributed that it, effectively, 'doesn't matter' how many go offline [at once], it will still stream?

You don't need to _ensure_ all that stuff, in the strictest sense of the word. Network hiccups happen, nodes go down. As long as the frequency of interruptions scales inversely with the number of nodes in the network, once you're on a big enough network everything will work smoothly.
You just called billions of people mentally unhealthy. Not so much snarky as unnecessarily mean.

My follow-up question is whether anything will work with an M1 yet. I'm guessing nothing from NVlabs. :-)
This looks really cool! It would be neat to have a proper CLI with a more fully-flushed out UI, with things like shortcuts to quickly open links. Is there any way I can be kept up to date with the state of this project?

Also, am I correct in assuming it's not open source?
Do you really expect Apple to allow pornographic album covers? I release music and also stream music and none of these rules are objectionable to me. When I'm using streaming platforms, I don't want to see social media handles, references to pricing or an avenue for hucksters to start selling things via album covers.

When is the last time the US annexed territory or cluster bombed residential neighborhoods of cities?

There is no comparison to what Russia is doing.
Not an expert but I think no, that's not how that works. You can't detonate a nuclear weapon without the mechanism to enact the fission. A dirty bomb meaning just a normal explosion with some radioactivity in it, is probably... not actually that bad? At least, not in the context of how bad things are already. Hundred years sounds far too long.
That's kind of what happens when you teach a group of people that hard work and honesty results in impoverished second class citizenship, generation after generation, until there are few successful role models in a community much less parents who can pass those values on to their kids.
Just like Amsterdam Compiler Kit or IBM TIMI, as two examples among many others for bytecode used by non-GC languages.
Ukraine was kept out because the theory was Putin would leave them be (since he kept saying that was the issue), and that that would be better for everyone.

But Putin has shot the hostage now: Russia occupying Ukraine means Russia has a NATO border anyway, Europe has a refugee crisis again, and no one can sit around and just get rich off of gas pipelines.
I agree it is not fair to make accusations at this point. The world is a complex place. I don't think any regular person who sees the reality will support starting war.

I think another interesting dilemma is that the Armenian diaspora is living in large numbers in two world powers. I feel like they can get more powerful economically and politically than the regular Armenian folks living in Armenia. Thus there is a foreign(?) influence in their democracy. (I'm not an expert...)

Lastly, maybe I'm optimistic, but I think there is an opportunity for peace in the region. I support recent forward-thinking and peaceful messages from Turkey and Azerbaijan. As a Turk, I want to see peace, friendship, and economy flourish between the nations. This will only give more options and prosperity to all of us who live here, and take options from others.
Trademarks are registered within a specific category of business. That's why Apple, the music label, could exist next to Apple, the computer company, all those years back. It's also why Apple got into a trademark dispute all those years down the line when they got started in the music business.

The http://argos.com/ people don't have trouble with the ARGOS trademark (there was a lawsuit about this!). OP's product might not be so lucky, though.

If OP can get a trademark registration for the right category through, they should be fine using the name Argos from what I can tell. Either Argos or ARGOS might object to that trademark and make that very difficult, though.
It WOULD have made sense if it had gone as planned and Ukrainian defense fell apart.
Yes, the handling of prefixes is really bad.
Hasn't basically every bit of the industry seen massive growth and profits since the start of COVID?

I think the situation has proven quite a bit more than "the big tech companies can go fully remote and not completely crash and burn". Can't say the degree to which it has impacted business without studying it. It could have been great, not great, or a drag but to say "crash and burn" or nothing seems a bit touched.
> The Russian State is and has been for a long time pushing a profoundly anti-Western agenda.

We've been having our fair share of anti-Russia propaganda as well, we're not innocent of what we're accusing Russia of.

> The Russian people are completely controlled. They have no way, even if they knew exactly what was going on and understood it for what it is, to rally, no one to lead them, no way to resist.

What exactly do you think would happen to the west if we censored Russian "propaganda"?

> I am in favour of both the removal of ".ru" and related domains

... And they'll move to another TLD just as easily as they were booted off the .ru or even worse; it moves outside the scope of the "accessible" web where their ideas are not challenged. Overall, a bad idea, IMO.
Am I missing something or is the argument really:

1. Russia continuously invades and annexes ex soviet neighbors

2. Neighbors join defensive alliance against Russia for protection

3. Russia claims this is provocation against them and uses it as justification to invade another neighboring country
Well, since we are talking about Karel Čapek, what about his book "The White disease", where a ruthless dictator of a big well armed country is preparing the attack on a small country during the pandemic of a new disease? A really good movie (in my opinion) based on that book is for free on YouTube (if you are not deterred by black and white movie with subtitles): https://youtu.be/HJMUIBEzYnI
> Please drop the unnecessary insults

Your "anyone with a basic understanding" line was a blunt and unsmiling allegation of incompetence. When dishing out abuse, don't complain when it comes around to bite you.

Neither are you, I suspect, but please do keep trying to erase my right to express a view, it's just so charmingly effective.

As for the actual assertion, about connectivity, pay close attention to the clause: "regular folks, not government or military users".

Bill's claim is not a lie. The argument being expressed against is focused on DNS in theory, not in practice. As the classic ISC t-shirt represents, critical infrastructure is a nine-layer stack, not seven, of which Bill is no doubt acutely aware. I have traveled in totalitarian countries and can confirm first-hand that they restrict civilian access to foreign DNS servers, both authoritative and resolver, and connectivity for "regular folks" is very much directly impacted.
These kind of stories reveal how brutal geopolitics are.

Nation states are organized by power laws. Out of the 200+ countries, more than 150 are effectively "irrelevant". These small "sovereign" countries are geographically outside the main power blocks (US/Canada, EU, SE Asia, Russia) and thus have fragile security.

Which means they're not really sovereign. They're forced to align with a power block (in a rare case multiple ones) to get access to trade in exchange for security.

Sounds like a mob deal really. Give me access to your commodities (most of these countries are commodity producers, not advanced economies) or you get no aid in security. Some countries are so irrelevant that despite trading commodities, they still get no security when the need is there. Not worth defending.

Or, the aggressor is too big to take on, so we stand by and do nothing. Altogether it's a geographic lottery of arbitrary nation-states.
There are many countries that have similar conditions, minorities outside theyr borders, historical claims but when we entered EU and NATO we all had to make peace with our neighbors and give up or old grudges, I hope the young Russian generation would prefer to enter EU then reviewing some old empire.

Interesting, for Germany they don't quote any sources. My guess is that it's from the old D-Info CD-ROMS which used to be quite popular for a while. Obviously they wouldn't mention scraping that data.
Azerbaijan has lots of oil money and purchases weapons from Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, and Russia, the likes of which Armenia cannot afford.

This is categorically false, both magnetic and electric senses in other animals have been proven to exist, pigeons for magnetism and the electric organ in bony fishes.

It's not at all physically implausible that crabs sense some electric or magnetic character in the surrounding water through their antennae or some other organ. Electroreception is known in bees, why not crabs? This could easily be the first evidence of that.

If you can do that ok, but to get Russia out of Crimea, good luck with that.
Consider; Russia is invading Ukraine.

If they keep at it, they will win; the military balance is too much in their favour.

Having conquered, they will then block out all content which carries truth and replace it with propaganda, just as it is in Russia.

You argue we must keep the Internet open and accessable to Russia, both in this situation, and for it to be used in this way.
More specifically the f/ number relates to the size of the entrance pupil (the optical image of the physical aperture stop, as seen through the front of the lens) rather than the size of the physical aperture. Depending on the construction of the lens and where in the lens the aperture is located, the two can differ quite a lot.

I currently use Paddle. There have been some issues with the lack of documentation during the development, but as a developer, I'd rather deal with that than filing taxes internationally.

Gumroad is nicer from the indie developer perspective, less restrictive than Paddle regarding product types sold, but shopping card and pricing are more limited (USD prices w/o VAT only).

Stripe is still better from the developer's standpoint, more mature and nicer integration / API, but doesn't handle tax filing. Would use it if developing a product for a single market.

Short notice? China knew the Ukraine war was coming before we did. They even asked Russia to hold off the start until after the Olympics. They weren’t caught surprised by any of this.
Armenia has already an alliance with Russia as a member of the CSTO (and sent troops to Kazakhstan as part of it in January). That did not prevent Russia from looking the other way in 2020.
> Moreover, these high commodity prices are a temporary phenomenon. “What goes up must come down”. Gas prices, oil prices and commodity prices will fall again and will shrink the resources available to the Russian government and make a protracted conventional war impossible.

That's kind of a weak argument imho. Artifical shortage (sanctions), uncertainty (war), and peak oil (someday) don't seem unlikely to raise the oil price continuously.

It's against my intuition that a switch to renewable energy will compensate for that.

What's the reasoning behind „What goes up must come down”?

I feel like a lot of early robot stories involved them being a hidden threat, golems that would rise up against their masters.

I read somewhere once that Isaac Asimov was a pioneer in writing stories about benevolent robots. His robots were neurologically incapable of harming humans (except for a few who could convince themselves to do so to help humanity as a whole).
> The very low funding on military means he can invest so much more into themselves and that's how they grow so much more

China is now the nation with the second highest military expenditure after the USA. It has increased its military budget continuously year by year. China’s military spending far exceeds that of its neighbours and was greater than the combined expenditure of India, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in 2019.

Due to significant increase in the last few years, all the neighbours are also now forced to drastically increase their expenditure.
Designing good government services: an introduction
I agree that this was the right move by ICANN.

There's a discussion to be had about modernization and what this means in practical terms. The philosophical internet exists in a space unpolluted by things like critical infrastructure becoming internet-connected. It's not a safe space for these things and was never designed to be one.

Governments have been doing a poor to terrible job of threat modeling their critical infrastructure. You saw this in Florida[1] and in Texas[2] last year. These sorts of things should not be accessible via the Internet.

Our government friends at the NSA are equally guilty of that as well, I'm not seeing much outrage over that either.

Cash flow is a present issue while CAPEX is an issue for the future and can be spread along years. Most of what Russia sent to fight (except the jets and Pantsir AA systems) is stuff they intended to replace in the future and already planned for CAPEX. Thus, if you would apply accounting terms that stuff is already depreciated to 0 even if still has some operational value.

The big question that we want answered is will be Russian forces insolvent? And they can be both financially and operationally insolvent. In the former they don't have cash to pay soldiers and suppliers and thus will have to depreciate their currency even further. In the latter they just don't have enough production capability and stock to cover the war needs for fuel, ammo and rations. Giving the know corruption on the military and government I think the latter is possible at least for a few critical items like MLRS ammo and cruise missiles.

It is sad that most, if not all, of the databases don’t take into account accents and other phonetic signs. My last name is completely different with and without and accent. Actually in my case different languages, without accent is a Spanish last name and with the accent is Catalan.

That means that people like me have to keep record of our real names.

Also curious that databases have been one step backwards, in Spain Catholic churches kept record of all the babies born in their towns with correct spelling and that is lost now with modern technologies.

I suggest NATO launch war, retake Ukraine, and deprive Russia of 60% of its military for almost no cost.

This will be followed by Putin having to spend the next 40% of its military on keeping order within Russia. If he will use nukes, he will obviously not be able to do so (NATO nuclear retaliation will destroy at least 50% of remaining Russian military.)

Even if Putin will stay in power, sending military to police innumerable Russian cities, and towns will take him off the list of potential threats for next decade at least.
