> Wouldn't employees who are loyal and happy to come to work be the exact people you want to keep long term?

You do, but you can achieve this by one of 2 ways: frequently adjusting salaries to match market rates, or rely on momentum, and hide information from them by strongly discouraging salary discussions among employees[1]. The latter approach results in more profits.

1. but sharing this information with fellow employers behind paywalls, like the work number.

Additional work?

In the west I think we need to realize that the situation is extremely unfortunate for Russians that are victims of the dictatorship (vs. those that actually believe in the party line), who have no easy way out of the country, and are absolutely screwed ATM.

Obviously worlds better than being under fire in the Ukraine, but I wouldn't throw the average Russian in the "minimal price we all have to pay" bucket.

Comparatively everyone in the west has it real easy (for now at any rate).

Not true. This has been eight years in the making. Civil War at Russia's borders. A fascist, neo-Nazi military terrorizing ethnic Russians. 14,000 dead in Donbas. Your "clear case" is missing quite a bit of information.

Outside of the unprovoked war, there are a few very novel things going on: Putin threatening a nuclear 1st strike, EU banning Russian aircraft and naval vessels, disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, major companies divesting their Russian assets, Russia banning foreign current withdrawals, Germany massively boosting their defense funds, EU nations openly donating weapons to fight the Russian invasion, Russian stock market refusing to open, Russia banned from the World Cup and other sporting events, etc.

There are some major, major world events happening. It’s gonna get a little bumpy.

> "+$50K for candidates with a long track record of .NET and Oracle work"

This also allows discrimination based on "race, gender, and other things" since "long track record" is completely open to interpretation and if the interviewers are already operating in bad faith, they can find any BS reason to try and undermine an interviewee.

"$100-$150k DOE" is exactly the same, if not clearer, than "$100k (+$50k if XYZ)"

For those operating in good faith, it gives an honest comp range depending on experience.

For those who aren't, a format change on job postings isn't going to do anything.
> minimal price that we all have to pay, that includes those of us in the western world

I was talking to a Russian friend recently who also mentioned trying to stockpile some food while it was affordable, just like the parent commenter. I think telling the average Russian citizen that their food insecurity is a minimal price they have to pay comes off as a bit smug.

> Signal safety has more to do with shared mutability, which isn't a concern for fork.

And yet that's what the spec says about child-side code following fork(). There's a reason for that. It's not just about signals. Async-signal-safe means, yes, that you can use it in an asynchronous signal handler, but there are contexts other than async signal handlers that require async-signal-safe code.

> You can get into gross situations mixing fork and threads...

You can get into bad situations just using fork and no threads.

> Not practically, there's way more code out there designed day one for fork(). Next to none designed for vfork() explicitly.

The adjustments needed to make fork-using code use vfork instead are often small. I recently did that to existing code: https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/pull/957/commits

Are you really honestly shocked? Has the news in Russia been completely opaque to the preparation to this invasion? It seems like everyone else has known about it for months.
I don't see how this isn't anything but virtue signalling, and forcing citizens to bear the cost.

Being cut off from the rest of the world's financial system, and with a collapsing ruble, not to mention a failing financial sector, how do you think people are going to find alternative infrastructure providers? What critical infrastructure will this take offline? What untold damage will this cause to civilians that have effectively no say against their authoritarian government?

It's one thing for governments to be handing down sanctions and interrupting "business as usual", as that is their perogative and they are accountable to their citizens by way of voting. In my opinion, though, it is another thing entirely to celebrate businesses acting in ways to inflict the most suffering possible on the people least able to handle such abuse. There is no accountability there.

> No. LineageOS' developers decided not to include this patch for various reasons.
The signature spoofing could be an unsafe feature only if the user blindly gives any permission to any app, as this permission can't be obtained automatically by the apps.
Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we modified the signature spoofing permission so that only system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat is posed to our users.

Absolutely. And Namecheap has done so and more. And so have you. Good for you. And good for Namecheap.

I frequently disagree with decisions my local, state and national governments, as well as corporations make. And I speak up about it too.

I withhold my money/business from corporations with whose decisions I disagree. And I vote for the folks who support the policies I support too.

I suspect that you do the same. And as I said, good for you!

Why shouldn't Namecheap have the same opportunity?
Stack manipulations are a real problem. Say if some parameter to exec after vfork uses stack slots created by compiler for temporary variables. & sure you compute those before the call to vfork, but then compiler applies code motion..
All of my Russian friends are decent people who are just trying to get by. They have been suffering under Putin’s regime for many years, as well as international sanctions that have plagued their livelihoods.

Many left Russia years ago but they are still being persecuted because of where they were born.

Segregation is not the answer.
Sanctions have worked so wonderfully well against Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Russia, and North Korea …

And this one is so “important” they’re not even willing to cut the gas pipe that runs through the war zone.

> Even in the most optimistic scenario I can't imagine this will be anything but a catastrophe for Russia.

The danger now is that Putin may be irreversibly committed, backed into a corner. Doesn't matter that it was a situation of his own making--it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If Ukrainians are rightly Russians as he claims, then what he's done is proven in spectacular fashion that Russian culture is capable of building a modern, progressive, and democratic national identity to which the population is willing to give their lives. That undeniably poses an existential crisis for the Russian regime and more generally it's entire historical political self-identity.

I know some people have argued that this is why Putin invaded in the first place. But I believe Putin, like most Russians, simply believed that the political culture was incapable of democracy. And most of the West strongly suspected that as well. IMO, Putin merely wanted to consolidate what he considered to be areas of natural cultural affinity, to Russia's geostrategic benefit, of course.
My friend dragged me to an Amnesty International meeting in college and for like the first half hour I thought they were joking. Surely... no, they're serious. There are movie villains out there in the world.

But since then I've had friends who volunteered for domestic abuse situations, and I've had a few friends who talked about former stalkers. In one case, the stalker was a LEO. My best friend's parents found asylum in the US, having snuck out of Poland sometime in the mid 80's, with the Communists hot on their trail. The Law would have had them swinging from a yard arm.

Jail isn't the solution in at least half of these cases. It's the stick being used against the victim, not a way out of the problem. In the police procedural dramas the cops have to assure people about how they're not INS, they're just here to ask about a murder. Those fictional scenarios, and the real situations that inform those writers, are essentially a case of Principle of Least Power playing out on the streets. Protests are often about changing the laws to match current or emerging public opinion. Changing a law means you're working against the law.

Consolidating all power into one place is how power trips end, but it can also be how they start. As someone else put it so plainly elsewhere in the thread, "You don't need to know" is an important concept and one we've lost. If I were President, I'd dismantle the TSA, and go back to something halfway between what we had before and where we are now. Because it looks exactly like the setup for a dystopian novel. We're still partly in the 'acclimate people to unreasonable request' but that's how totalitarians start out.

IANAL but as far as I know the existence of verbiage is not on it's own enough to make something binding. There is probably a lot of wiggle room here by jurisdiction as well.

Either way though, it seems like a very strange building block to base your business on. I assume if it were actually binding then many businesses would be hesitant to use namecheap.

As I've said before, this is about Namecheap's self-portrayed values. It defends its Section 230 protection on the premise of protecting its and others' rights to speak freely. Given today's circumstances, it seems that reasoning is false.

To quote Namecheap:

"As citizens ourselves, we embrace the joy of hearing all voices. The power to regulate or restrict speech or expression concentrated in the hands of only a few big tech companies is not how we want those decisions made for us."

And what has it done today? It's nakedly hypocritical that Namecheap engages in those same restrictions against its own customers.
If they just said "We're a business for free speech when said speech is convenient to our interests. Take it or leave it", that wouldn't be so much of an issue.

> the actions of the Russian government, not the speech of the individual Russians

> they simply believe it is not in their best interests to do business with Russian citizens at this time because of the actions of the Russian government. This kind of boycott strategy happens all the time.

Then why dissociate on the basis of TLDs of which many Americans may be domain holders? Or why is it that individual Russians citizens are having their websites taken down for the actions of their government? Namecheap is not being selective or proportionate.

In order to get started with F-Droid you have to jump through several hoops with strong warnings from Android about allowing third party apps to install applications.

Here's the exact text of the warning:

> Your phone and personal data are more vulnerable to attack by unknown apps. By installing apps from this source, you agree that you are responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from their use.
> But as you've probably seen from all the 'prisoners of war' videos out of Ukraine, most soldiers don't want to fight this war.

You should not believe them. They might be just lying.
Yeah ... I found it and vouched for it. The paragraphs were better than I expected from the title!
Most people are not cut out to be heroes and this is the case in every country.

Living under a dictatorship tends to weed out the heroes over time because they will want to change things, stick their head up out of the grass and have it chopped off. This tends to discourage the rest, understandably.

Russia doesn't have a whole lot of powerful people besides Putin left, he's either killed, jailed or neutered them. This is a major cause for concern right now, but it is also exactly why it is that way: dictators do not like viable competition.

Don't bring a democratic countries' viewpoint into a discussion about what the people living in a dictatorship can or can not do. It is possible, but only if there a sea change in support of the government, and with the media under total control unfortunately Putin is still ridiculously popular in Russia. And this may not change sufficiently, taking into account that he will blame any and all hardships on the West.

If you're Russian. It is your war.
Pathetic.

I've been setting up infrastructure to do blockade running over the obviously coming great Russian firewall for the last few days and made a mistake of relying on your service. I did expect payment troubles. I did not expect you to help the Kremlin in isolating the Russian populace from uncensored news and communication platforms beyond its reach. Right now my grandparents are going to have greater problem finding news about the war from any other source beyond Putin-controlled bullshit faucets, and so will I. It's likely also the case for antiwar protesters.

Isolating Russian users from foreign internet services is literally the Kremlin's dream, something it could not achieve for a long time even with all the power amassed over the years. It's revolting to see Namecheap and others doing Putin's job for him, while claiming to stand up against his war crimes. And spare me the "tax dollar" spiel. The overwhelming revenue going towards the war comes from oil and gas exports (even more so with the currency crisis), something that is explicitly not being sanctioned - less the Western tech executives are inconvenienced.

If you're going to harm people because of their country of birth to feel better about yourself - say it straight. What you're doing right now will not help a single Ukrainian, and will make Putin more resilient, not less.
