ICANN and the existence of the internet are products of sovereignty post-WWII and free economy. If you want your Disney+ then you must agree to the post WWII world. Putin and Russia are currently living out a bygone era in the modern day. The two are incompatible.
> Why not make a website for this?

It's coming. I decided to get it out there as soon as I had an index that could theoretically be useful. The feedback I'm getting will drive the next chunk of work that gets done. For instance, I'll probably bring in language docs next as a lot of people have asked for them already.
> The ressentiment is mostly from Chinese ultranationalists that have been censored by the government.

That is good to know, thank you! I'd like to say though that until recently annexing Crimea not to say bombing Kyiv was something only ultranationalists in Russia would call for. And as far as I can see from the outside, official rhetoric in China is getting more heated and nationalist, pretty much like it was in Russia.
It's unclear to me how China acting in cooperation with Russia and to the detriment of the intended outcomes of sanctions is not seen as a thematically aggressive move?

The Friend of my enemy is my enemy.
No country should be able to cut off anyone else's sunshine (or Internet). Internet, the western version of it, was not built and shared with the world with this disclaimer that we will cut it off if we feel like it.

If ICANN kicks out a country, we'd very soon see the end of ICANN because other countries will have no trust left in the organization.
The magnets are well embedded in the clothes so there's little danger there.

The reality is it doesn't do much more or less than normal onesies but costs an insane amount more.

Also sticks to the side of the wash machine lol.
The EU is more than just an economic union and always has been.

It's also pretty clear that they do have the ability to shut out a company from doing business within their borders, so I'm unclear why media corporations should be getting a free pass compared with other industries.
> The NotPetya wiper worm was released by the Russian government, the NSA has never been accused of anything similar.

Of course it has. The NSA was accused of created Stuxnet, the worm that targeted Iran industrial control systems (such as nuclear power plants). Wikipedia[0] says:

> On 1 June 2012, an article in The New York Times said that Stuxnet is part of a US and Israeli intelligence operation named Operation Olympic Games, devised by the NSA under President George W. Bush and executed under President Barack Obama.

and:

> A Wired magazine article about US General Keith B. Alexander stated: "And he and his cyber warriors have already launched their first attack. The cyber weapon that came to be known as Stuxnet was created and built by the NSA in partnership with the CIA and Israeli intelligence in the mid-2000s."

Nice. A bit out of date, though. I can find myself in there (I have a quite uncommon surname), but I haven't been to my home country in half a decade.
I do. It's Russia's most powerful weapon where they already control the narrative and push an anti-western agenda. Without internet, the people of Russia will revolt. When communications got cut in Egypt in 2011, people took to the streets which resulted in democracy and forming an entirely new government all within days.

China isn't hiding anything. They try, but it's a fool's errand. The more they try the more people want to know about it. No one in China that lived during that atrocity is unaware.
This is anecdotal and just what I’ve seen but here in Denmark one of the leading Apple retailers and certified repair shops is called Humac. Until recently I didn’t know they had a Russian owner. Now it’s become so much of a problem for them that they’ve edited their website to try and hide it.

Companies that don’t severe ties with Russia as fast as possibly seem to be at a very real risk losing their customer bases here in Europe in the wake of the invasion.

I can’t even claim to be above it. I cancelled my Netflix subscription when it was aired that they complied with Russian broadcast laws. Something Netflix no longer does by the way.

I’ve never had an issue buying products from Russia before, so if I’m not the only one reacting like this, and it seems like my reaction has been amongst the milder here, then you may find some of the answer in that.
They can certainly win militarily. Whether that results in a tenable, stable reality is another matter entirely. Taking over Ukraine won't allow their country to function in economic isolation.
Russia has chosen a path that leads to them becoming a Chinese vassal state. China needs their oil, gas, minerals, and food, and is far richer and more powerful. China will end up turning Russia into a resource extraction client state.

Edit: I wonder if China greenlit the invasion precisely because they understand that this will hand them total control of Russia. Putin is a fool who may have been played.

Russia's elite may actually fare very well in the long term, since it'll be similar to how the USA props up the Saudi royal family in exchange for their ability to pump oil and regulate the market price. Russia's people will find themselves more and more disempowered and the country will continue to suffer massive brain drain.

An important factor is new manager syndrome.

You start with some new head honcho somewhere. A CxO, an Enterprise Architect,... These tend to swap every 3 to 5 years.

Head honch sees horrible bloat, and decides to Act with some Master Plan. This entails buying some expensive software, deployed by a random external team, that will solve everything.

In practice, expensive software tends to barely work. Also, the deployers have no idea what the company is doing. But, anything that might be bad news is career ending, so things get deployed swiftly.

Then comes integration. External team chooses some integration point, probably somewhere in the last head honcho's expensive software, as that's the only thing where the design is not yet completely forgotten. There will be impedance mismatch, i.e. bad news, i.e. unspeakable. So people do something, anything to forcibly connect A to B.

Someone presses start, then the deployers run away in 2 weeks tops. All kinds of weird crimes are done by the new expensive software. Bad news is still not welcome, but things start to hurt more and more over the next few months. Staff was already overworked, so does some quick and dirty fixes. Head honcho falls out of grace, a reorg destroys every shred of knowledge gathered in the exercise, and a new new head honcho floats to the top. The cycle starts again.
Disney still actively edits movies to add Chinese government propaganda, so obviously this is a short term PR gimmick.
Archive.org seems to do something like that with its downloads via torrent: it appears as a web-seed for the torrents, and I usually snatch the files from those seeds faster than DHT seeds usually show up (which kinda undermines the idea, though).

Frankly, I never saw any other seeds on Archive's torrents—but one of those I snatched has a ratio of 3 now, so presumably it does work as intended.
These moral equivalencies have to stop. The US didn't declare anti-war protests to be illegal and arrest 7000+ protesters in the course of the first week of the war in Iraq. The US didn't shut down independent media outlets that were opposed to the war. The US didn't block (nascent) web platforms that hosted anti-war discussion.

The US media is often a propaganda arm of the government. The Russian government tries to ensure their propaganda is all you see. There's a massive difference.
Neat. I just recently found an old letter pertaining to my great-great-grandfather selling a house in Germany prior to coming to the US in the 1880s or so. The town mentioned is the site of a cluster of his (uncommon) surname.
Unfortunately, like many industry standards, the spec is not available without requesting it. I have no idea why consortiums do that.
So, your origin needs to handle the parts of the world with bad internet infrastructure, but can use P2P in Europe and the US, then?
At that point I don't know why you would essentially need that kind of infrastructure. Just tell everyone that on some date in the future paper cash will not be legal tender and everyone has a government issued bank account. You could use a permissioned ledger (a hyperledger) at this point.
I automate it by pulling urls out of HN, programmer Reddit, etc. Right now my only source of page content is the Common Crawl, which is why there are relatively few web pages indexed. That will change.

A next step is to index entire sites, not just individual pages, based on the positive votes their links get.

And this is why Atlassian is buying everyone in the world. If you're already setup as a vendor with a product into a company, adding a line is easy.
Actually - useless for most scenarios. Just protects you from radioactive iodine isotopes, a bit (which is not your worry in a blast, or fallout from one). Tends to get touted as a magical all-powerful radiation shield (which it isn't).
Looks great, I look forward to trying it out. Just FYI clicking the "Upgrade to premium" link bottom left of the application takes me to a blank navy screen. Then I have to close and re-open Requestly.
> China really don’t care one bit about Russia

what's the alternative? does the West care about Russia?
I would be more concerned about the "friendly" propaganda tolerated by EU/European governments than the blatant Russian propaganda. Not limited to the Ukraine war.
Attacking Russian expats/exiles is a disgrace.
Being so afraid of a slippery slope that you're too permanently paralyzed to take steps on a nice flat plateau has its own risks. CloudFlare seems to be doing just fine, and a private organization declining to do business with a neo-Nazi forum doesn't cause much worry for me.

ICANN's responsibilities are very different than CloudFlare's, and the proposed action has much wider scope and impact on innocents in the dispute. They're not at all comparable scenarios, and I believe CloudFlare and ICANN both made the right decisions in the respective cases.

Potentially by removing the access to these products and services, there is a slight chance for the Russian population to react in such a way as to force change in their country. Isolating them from the internet would though probably backfire.
If you consider baby's penis on the Nevermind cover porn, then, by definition [1], it looks sexually arousing to you.

This looks great! Congratulations. I particularly like the "shortcuts" to common actions like "Insert JS/CSS". That's very useful!

I want to also give a shoutout to https://proxyman.io/. Proxyman is a native Mac App that also works as a local proxy and is a pleasure to use. I've been using it for similar workflows and can highly recommend it over Charles (the SSL handling alone is 100x simpler).
Sometimes they do have this, but upper management often requires anyone under them to be replaceable lest they have too much leverage in salary negotiation, which undercuts this. Hence it's not an official role, and can easily be broken by the usual biz processes that are insensitive to it. Until a methodology comes along with a specific method of hiring for such a role, this might not change. Corp modelling likes to treat developers as interchangeable commodity units - gatekeeper needs a lot of software-specific context that defies this model.
@arpitrao, we’d love to meetup in Houston. Our @jstartz26 (COO) is based there. Currently we cover SE TX and Houston with a provider network partner, but we growing our directly contracted network too.
And it wasn’t much of a war. It was just Armenia getting relentlessly hammered by Turkish-manufacturered drones.
I consider my self a "commie", but I find Russia's government's behaviour repugnant.

It has nothing to with the average Russian, but everything to do with the Government, the dictator, and those who willingly support them.

That isn't to say the west hasn't done anything wrong. But by my account, we can pin the following on Russia:

- Installing puppets in foreign governments

- Schroeder

- Trump / GOP

- Pushing for Brexit

- Supporting conspiracy groups that lead to an insurrection that threatened the semblance of democracy that the US had

- Sent children to war

- Committed 11 distinct war crimes in just 8 days, including shooting civies and children that were fleeing, hospitals, and wearing UN and Ua colours.

Russia isn't the problem, the problem is the person at the driver seat that is actively threatening a nuclear holocaust.

The peg is only to keep it from strengthening (unlike some countries that try to keep their currency from sinking). Depending on which country is trying to use yuan as a reserve currency (export based economies vs import based ones), they might actually find this feature useful to stay competitive.
I cannot imagine my parents ever being able to manage to do the nose swab on me, let alone a tonsil swab.

Even now the nose test triggers enough sensitivity for me that I cannot go anywhere for an hour after I administer it because of the sneezing.

At seven or eight years old? No way. I would have been unmanageable. So I guess my parents would have been breezily looked down upon too. Which is ironic considering that were they still working now, one of them would have been designing or scrutinising such tests and another checking large numbers of them on a daily basis.
The Western world and the Middle East were both at war.
While I'm often one to point out the flaws in "ultimate freedom of speech" that many people parrot here, there is a tangible difference between being politically and philosophically pro-free speech and the way the laws are written.

You can simultaneously believe that free speech is important but that you shouldn't be able to just print lie after lie after lie about a person without repercussion.
As a young person without children, I much prefer the office - I intentionally live close enough to the office that my commute is a 20 minute walk or a <10 minute bike ride, so my commute is actually pleasant, and not having the forcing function of a commute to get me outside is actually worse for my mental health.

I can still work from home when I have errands to run or medical appointments, but I much prefer being in the office.
my first question when i read the post
Didn't know about "$*", thanks!

I think its a combination of :

Lack of same market competition.

Captured audience/customers.

Azure/Office365 was genius, its going to keep them in the black for many years to come.
Fiat can be stolen by people running crypto.

For example, see Tether.
I agree 110%!! This is just a miss by developers who do not understand the use case and business impact. I have rarely seen systems that implemented business logic alerting until after the company has been screwed. Perhaps not even then. It is a disconnect between the developers and the business. Stripe should be sending emails/notifications as invoices pile up in the "draft" state. That edge case was never examined. Total miss and prime example of the move fast and break things world we live in now. I view these services like Stripe as cutesy little services because of this and I would never trust my business to them. Diligence is on you but the marketing department sells the opposite to unsophisticated customers.

Just like everything out of silicon valley, creaky bare bones bullshit with meager support and a total hands in the air philosophy when it comes to responsibility.

As a US customer Eventbrite sends me an invoice/receipt in GBP yesterday. I scramble around looking for an invoice in USD and find nothing despite putting all of my information in pointing to the US. It's like doing business with toddlers.

They payment was processed in USD but there is zero mention of exchange rates or anything. My support option? Contact the poor guy trying to make his life easier by using their service. I have come to expect this vapid garbage unfortunately.

90% approval sounds pretty good unless you’re in the 10% that has to switch companies to stay remote. I'd take those odds!
The new generation in China is extremely unaware.
That's true. Python is no speed demon. However, languages like C are (for the most part) faster, and they need no emulation layer. I just think it's kinda strange to teach a language that is part-compiled-part-interpreted to kids as a first language.

Maybe we should teach them both a compiled language and a language like Python to show them that each one has its place and specific uses.
> Remoters are on the defense, after all.

I’ve been remote for a decade. I will never work in an office again, but if you want to that is fine. I’m not the one asking you to stay remote or leave your “stable” subdivision. Instead, you seem to believe that I should want what you want because you’re happy with it. No.
Hi - Mark here - I'm curious to know what you get for your $500 monthly premium. Do you get anything else of value, any incentive programs, knowledge support, coaching, etc. I am assuming you get free access to telehealth. I would like to know if you use any of these other things
Ask HN: Would direct democracies have been less willing to confront Russia?
And in particular, would direct democracies have been less willing to risk nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine?
If only someone had the same idea about 193x-194x regular Germans citizens. "Overthrow your government, stop the war it is waging."

Or modern Chinese. "We will sanction you for sending Uyghurs to camps. We will hate you for your government's failure to cooperate with the study into the origins of COVID, which claimed times of magnitude more lives." You know, maybe they would have woken up to the lies they've been fed.

So yeah, there is a double standard, but whatever. I am immune to it as I do not have much national pride left to be offended too much. However, I can see it having a chilling reverse effect on some of the people I know.

Doubt we will see an uprising, more likely we will see a new satellite state of China and Xi's sphere of influence extending to the North pole.
It sounds like the OP we're replying to wants a daycare, not a company. There's plenty of them out there (including the original subject of conversation), but I wouldn't call it a preference.

People like this don't want a structured workplace because they prefer it; they want a structured workplace because they need it, because they never figured out how to live by themselves after university.
The only thing that matters is whether "you" identify with "it".
Public opinion is the last thing on the mind of the leadership. If they cared what we thought, there wouldn't be a war in the first place.

Nice idea though.
I cannot recall if they were popular games that matched it at the time. Let's not underestimate the online elements of the game (and the lack of difficulty levels, lack of saving game, that goes with it). As for the combat, that was the height of "Batman" combat on consoles. Cue internet discussions where fans of DS praised its combat design, while PC players with Mount&Blade were not impressed much.

Why oh why is one of the support tiers a fishing mini-game? I will say this whenever it it shows its ugly head in video games, you will see my comments I promise, there is no such thing as a good fishing mini-game. Developers need to stop wasting time on something that will actually make their game worse, I feel like its actually a sick joke at this point every time there is a fishing mini-game as part of any game.

I will die on this hill.

The game looks awesome though! I loved shovel knight and I think they'll knock it out of the park with this one too.
Yeah, you are likely right. I take it very personal, as it touches current events in a way that Russian propaganda does for years on our local sites. This behavior was insanely intensified in last few days.
> People who prefer "from home" would rather make the effort of communicating by text / visio so that they don't have to deal with the commute.

Precisely ! That's why it's important to communicate clearly to every person of the team the working agreement that are expected - and to enforce them. If the agreement is that no one is expected to have to commute, and everything must be done so they don't have to, that's perfectly fine - as long as everyone plays the game. And any person still insisting to meet "somewhere" because they don't like emails/IM/zoom needs to be talked to.

Similarly, if the rules are : you have to come to the office 3 days/week, expect that some things will happen in person, show up, and play the game. If you start insisting that everything needs to be organised in a way that allows you to stay fully remote and not show up, you need to review your position.

The important part is to ensure that expectations are clearly expressed - and enforced. Which Google is doing.
