Near as I can tell, it’s just making his power base double down.

And ‘punishing civilians’ when they are part of a society (yes, society) who is allowing a dictator to hungrily invade a neighbor is about the only way anyone can do anything here.

Sanctions CAN impact the economy enough that it starved the ability of the nation to make war - but if the country keeps doubling down, that is going to require extreme measures and produce extreme
misery. It would be a blockade essentially.

Russia has experience switching to a war time economy, and if anything it makes a ‘strong dictator’ more appealing. Stalin did quite well during this time, despite making massive mistakes that cost an insane number of Russian lives.

In the west we seem to be under the impression some relatively cheap to us financial sanctions will solve this, but don’t bet on it.

The equivalent post WW1 in Germany just stoked WW2. Not the same scenario, but there are similarities.

Is it all that surprising that its easier to empathize with people more like yourself than others?

I assure you that I don't feel that way, but I understand why. It's the same reason people often want to help "their own" before helping others.

It starts with helping your nuclear family then to extended then to friends then to the city then to the state then to the country then to the ethnicity (country and ethnicity may switch priorities).

No one can care for the whole world so we have to prioritize by some means.

There's also a point to be made that Israel and Palestine are already fucked as its been happening for decades now. The world has a chance to stop an atrocity from happening now.

Another point can be made that the Israeli and Palestinian conflict isn't as obvious as Russian invading Ukraine.

And the final thing I would note is that this post could be construed as classic whataboutism.
Dang, beat me to it. =D
Asking for a Set of Consistent Principles Equally Applied to the US and Russia

Because they don't care about computer stuff. They just have to do computer stuff because they are forced to.
> But like with the Chinese firewall, information find its way. Unless Russia wants to set itself back to 70s, they still need to access Github, Cloudflare, Amazon Cloudfront, etc. For the Russian IT business to work.

Don't be so optimistic. It isn't the 90s anymore. "Information [will] find its way [through]," but probably not in ways that can change anything.

> Software development and Internet were built on scientific principles, criticism, criticial thinking. This requires free flow of information. You cannot have one without the other, or you are going to end up with very inferior and inefficient software ecosystem.

It's doubtful if that's true, but even if it is, the response of dictators everywhere is: "so?" A strong "software ecosystem" might be a top priority for you, but they care more about other things.
This hits home really hard. I’m currently in my 2 weeks notice period after 6-7ish months at a company where this was (is?) a regular occurrence. At some point you have to chalk things up to willful ignorance and move on.
> From the story though, it sounds like the PM included this information after the author reached out to the PM directly.

Exactly the case, and it's because he happened to have the PMs email. Not because Stripe gave it to him or offered to send the PM his way.
I'd take whatever cell phone number you're using, and run it through https://www.twilio.com/lookup (https://www.twilio.com/docs/lookup/tutorials/carrier-and-cal..., specifically) to see if for whatever reason, you aren't showing up as your carrier and a mobile phone type.

Services that once let me use my Google Voice number, for example, locked me out until I could pass verification with a "real" mobile number over the years.
Not that simple, China would harm themselves by doing that.

Thank you for the enlightenment Vlad.
Again, the blue camp isnt any better here. Did you hear about the very recent Kentucky event? Did you hear about the sketchy "rise of the moors" organisation and that highway event? The "fake news" isnt just biased reporting, but also not reporting events that would challenge the narrative. A small disclosure: I was among those who donated to the Bernie's campaign, yet I reject most of the blue rhetoric.

I think this is true. Management will shred through IC engineers, getting results but burning alot of them out in the process. Theres no accountability, and in some respects, its good business for them. They get the work done, the burnout really doesnt have that many repercussions.

The overarching issue is:

you need stability/healthy employees at the higher levels, at the lower levels it doesnt matter.

You cant have turn over in management, its a risk to the company. Turnover in engineers, even highly skilled ones, can be recovered from with some extra cost.
Plenty of equivalence actually.

Democrats encourage anarchist militias who openly advocate for violence and arson, try to de-legitimize election results through "Russia-Gate" conspiracies, openly cheered on the fire bombing and attacking of police officers and government buildings(court houses), spread misinformation about the Kyle Rittenhouse despite all expert legal analysis saying they were misinformed.
I don't exactly buy this because if that were the case, why wouldn't Russia just cut off their internet themselves? And maybe blame it on the West if anyone asked.
Some similarity there with the story of Mara tempting the Buddha. Taken symbolically it makes sense. Through that lens I probably experienced "demons". There will always be zealots that take things overly literally.

Anti-racism betrays Asian students
Of course it's coordinated censorship. Free speech is not unlimited.

By invading Ukraine and - in particular - threatening the use of nuclear weapons, Russia did the equivalent of shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre. Under the circumstances, the world is absolutely right to come down like a tonne of bricks on anything and everything Russian that might be used to justify those threats.

I don't think you realise the gravity of the situation.

BTW if you want alternative opinions there are plenty of non-RT ones out there. No-one's pulling China's CGTN off satellites, for example.
I was surprised nobody else pointed this out! No, no pivot. Two main reasons:

1. It took a lot of time to build something robust enough that teams were willing to swap out their critical infrastructure for. There is a big different between your marketing automation system experiencing an issue vs. the system that sends out 2FA/magic link messages.

2. I really wanted to iterate on our API until it felt "HN worthy." That also took time. (For reference, Stripe did their HN launch a couple years post-YC for the same reason.)
> I envy the people that get to clock out at the normal time

What's stopping you from doing the same?
>Just because a word doesn't fit 100%, doesn't mean we shouldn't use it if the main idea is there.

A strong word better carry a stronger metaphor. No matter the framing, you are

- it is a choice to move alone somewhere, that is a chocie many make for college and post-college work

- it is a choice to be homeless. Not a comfortable choice, but a choice to make

- it is a choice to TRY to be an entrepreneur, but success is never promised when your job is to convince other people to give you money (which is THEIR choice).

- it is a choice to spend your time expecting perfection. Again, you are making a choice contingent on someone else's choice, success is not guaranteed.

- it's not an easy choice, but children can be given to others if you cannot provide care, and mortgages can be sold if you cannot afford payments. You not having the time/money to make your own company (which is a RISKY endeavor, and always has been) does not entitle you to free money.

I don't see how any of these relate to being a slave. Or even a minority/woman 100 years ago in the US. They didn't even have the option to work most places, let alone start up a business. homes would deny them for not being white or not having a man to backup expenditures. Still a step up from slavery, but still very much restricted because of who they are, not due to life factors they want to maintain (they had few to begin with).

So no, I don't see the slavery metaphor here as a valid one to make. There is more than one type of slavery, but we're in an american website. so you would basically need to very specifically frame your form of "slavery" if you're going outside what people commonly associate it with.
No, next question.

In all seriousness, I don't know what impossibly high bar this article is setting for "new things" but innovation happens every day in software engineering - I'm not saying each one of us is accomplishing Turing level stuff on a daily basis, but somewhere somebody is definitely creating something brand new right now - and something that's highly useful. New packages and libraries are constantly rolled out that try and approach problems from different angles - whether these are branded as innovative is entirely a matter of opinion but I'm of the camp that building a tool that makes someone's life easier that didn't previously exist is easily in the camp of an innovation.

But, if your standard for innovation is the polio vaccine (or other once in a decade or once in a century discoveries) then yea - we probably have gone two years without a once in a decade innovation - simply because probability.
End overtime exemption. If an org can push workers for more work without paying them more, why wouldn't they? Solving this problem requires systems-level thinking. Understanding the incentives that result in burnout-creating interactions is key to creating new incentives that don't induce burnout.

The quickest way to not fixing burnout is assuming that it is a natural part of software development, that it's up to individuals to manage their own boundaries, or that the industry is impossible to change. None of these are entirely false nor entirely true, but they do nothing to affect change.

Is the end of overtime exemption a silver bullet? No, but it is a critical step toward creating incentives that do address worker burnout. It shifts a manager's choice from "push the team harder to get out a feature and deal with the consequences later" to "push the team harder and it costs $X."

There is a key piece of perspective that helps to understand this - management rarely has clarity in their business decisions. What drives management toward pushing workers to work more and ignoring burnout is that building product has a more tangible result than burnout. You may ask, "no, management weighs the costs and benefits!" Maybe yours does, but when the benefits are easier to quantify than the costs, the decision is clear.

This is why putting a dollar amount on the decision is so important. It shifts the decision to "possibly build it faster for $X" where the dollar cost amount has more clarity than the benefits. It doesn't mean management chooses not to build faster every time, but the decision framing does change the response. Anyone in management knows what clarity in business decisions means and how it affects outcomes.
Makes me wonder how independent is SpaceX? Do these companies themselves depend on supplies and contracts from other countries?
We have not stopped "innovating new things", this is a far more innovative time than any in history, with maybe an exception or two. I think this is a situation where the person just doesn't see the innovation happening, or understand what innovation is. What we do have is a lack of giant, obvious innovations. Horse to cars was big. Horses to telephones was big. Planes were big. Asphalt roads where big.

We don't have a lot of this going on - or more specifically, going from a rural farm life to industrial city life was a single huge step, and now any huge steps get buried in the massive crush of other innovation.

Going from nothing to 1 of something is an infinite step. Going from a million of something to 2 million is paltry in comparison, but 1,000,000 is much bigger than 1.
Would the registration flag on the ship make a difference here? Many ships use the Panama flag. Being owned by an Estonian company isn't immediately obvious. (I haven't seen photos, maybe it was immediately obvious). That said of course no cargo ship should be attacked.
My claims is that the phrase "the previous American president also waged a war against every media outlet" is overblown nonsense. There are a mere handful of marginal Republican nobodies who support this stuff and we saw for 4 years that the courts are happy to slap down any US politician makes big constitutional missteps.
I just posted a screenshot of React's issue list on Facebook. And that was removed by FB saying that it was against the community standards of hate speech.

well, seem that Facebook doesn't like people talking about React's issue.
No problem with the defect, I was able to defeat the heart easily with them using a static discharge build. It was with the others I had issues

Got so close with the silent using a poison build (and lucky enough to get snecko skull) but was not able to ramp up damage enough (could have used a few more catalysts I think, only was able to get one)

Subvocalizing is already a thing and devices do exist for interpreting it, I believe.

Hey - thanks!

Yeah we've been thinking about this quite a bit. We've explored a couple of options here - I think our first pass is going to be a way to synchronize an external git repository with a sandbox. Would love to hear your thoughts here on what kind of workflow might make the most sense.

I think long term we'll also add VSCode integration through an extension, but that might be a few months out.
Upvoted, because at least I saw it was a joke...
Nowhere in the post does it mention the author asking anybody to do any work. Their coworker showed up asking questions about something they're working on.
Really depends on the kit. The ones I’ve used don’t have a dropper at all. They came with a prefilled (capped) tube. Certainly those aren’t going to be mistaken for eye dropper bottles. But not all kits are the same. (The ones I got are more likely to be accidentally spilled when prying those caps off. Maybe more of a hazard.)

You didn't use the term "distribution" in your original comment and included phrases like "The internet is not broadcasting." that made it seem like you were portraying that as a critical distinction.

> However, it will not affect TOR any more than it would affect VPN providers, anyone offering VPS services, etc.

I agree it is almost certainly true that TOR and VPN usage won't be banned, if simply for practical reasons. It seems somewhat more likely that VPNs that are subject to EU jurisdiction will be requited to block RT as well given the language about "activities the object or effect of which is to circumvent prohibitions in this Regulation".

However, I am not very convinced that this won't including ISPs blocking access to RT and possibly sites that host RT videos. It's possible that this is just to force YouTube, et al, to block this content in the EU, but leaving RT itself easily accessible seems to defeat the goals of this legislation so I am a bit skeptical here.
How can you conflate your direct electrode transcranial electrical stimulation paper with non-contact magnetic field rate of change induced electrical fields? That's just unsupportable. You're not going to get anywhere near 1V/m across the brain tissues with even a kiloamp of low frequency (ie, <500 Hz) AC current non-contact. Rate of change matters for induced fields.

Cool paper and impressive but the direct contact, part of the circuit, tES results don't translate to this context. The induced voltages (for the power cable) would be so far below the noise floor that not even arguments for stochastic resonance boosting above threshold make sense.
Many other larger value transactions of this nature do have an execute by date actually baked in. So while no contract exists without consideration, a real estate, business acquisitions etc often have a closing date associated with the agreement (which can of course be modified). I've liked this on transaction side (not a lawyer). What are difficulties with having a time frame to perform within?

Ie, safe must be funded within 2 business days of date of safe. Can always do a new safe if the first doesn't go through and you still want to do business?
Not much of an impact. ULA is pretty much done with RD-180 engines (they have a handful sitting in a warehouse, but weren't planning on buying any more).

Northrop might have a hard time if they plan on launching more Antares rockets, but it's already a pretty low volume launch vehicle, and IIRC it used to use a non-Russian engine anyways.
The author makes innovation out to be something akin to "if we focus on this, then it will change", but that's not how this typically works. Most development is based on smaller improvements and discoveries made years in the past. And those take time to mature and scale.

Sometimes they converge around the same time and it looks transformational. More often though, they are slowly incorporated into the progressive change we enjoy.

It's also likely that areas that are important to him, just don't have a market. It doesn't mean people aren't innovating, it just means that resource allocation towards innovation went to other areas (for good or bad).
Don't know if that's the ship [1], but it does look like there are cargo ships that are being shot at.

Holding civilians responsible for the actions of regimes is central to all justification of terrorism. It's a slippery slope, just a heads up.
There are several of different options. The most obvious is an independent line of authority delegated from the state's legislature or governor. This is where the police get THEIR authority. Other options include close supervision by the courts, private rights of action (i.e., citizen lawsuits), strong FOIA-like transparency rules, etc...
Unfortunately I played an easier clone of StS on my mobile before StS was released for androids. I loved that game and the pacing and then when I played StS it felt like a chore and needlessly difficult in comparison.

So every round in StS also feels unwinnable for me haha
New to the Web Platform in February
Congrats on the launch!

Overall I like the idea and I agree with you, either the tools are too focused on Data Scientists or there are a lot of DevOps involved to get things started

I work on the field so I have some questions:

- Are there any plans to connect the project into a git repo?

- Is there any option for me to pass trained binaries to your product? For example I have a beast of a machine and I can easily train things locally, but I'd like to host the inference with you guys

- Do you intend to allow automated testing and linting?
In general yes but I wonder if in the case of Russia the group that would have the most impact are the other power players adjacent to the leader. If it's true that Russia is run like the Mob then I wouldn't be surprised if Putin ends up "falling out of a window" by accident.
Not sure if it’s a water war the way I would consider it but you may be right.

Freshwater is typically the object of hypothetical water wars, and in this case Russia wants warm (salt) water for naval power projection.

This is probably more of a coastline/harbour war.
No, why should it?

IIRC Romania is in NATO, Moldavia isn't. So invading Moldavia too would just, by eliminating a bit of border with a neutral country, give him an even longer border with NATO. Thus even more putting the lie to his alleged "Must avoid NATO countries on my border!" motivation.

OTOH, if Moldavia is already in, then AFAICR from its shape on the map the length of the Russia / NATO border would hardly change at all (because Moldavia's western and eastern borders are about equally long), so neither would the "calculus".

Why; is there anything wrong with it?

[P.S:] Oh, and it wasn't my "calculus" originally; it was @usrusr's. At least if I understood them correctly.
I'm not appealing to authority; I'm not agreeing with them because they're the authority, I'm deferring to them because I trust their decision making process.
I think cell phones and smartphones are a great example of a horses -> cars in the modern time.

There's only "no innovation" if you start with that conclusion and don't look for contrary examples.
Suspect it's someone trolling a census. There's also a Skywalker in London, which is probably more likely to be someone that took the campaign to get Jedi recognised as a religion in the UK way too far than the last vestiges of the Skywalker dynasty
For me it'll be "yes".

If an airline cancels my boarding pass because they don't like my email address (?), too bad for them, they just lost a sale.

If someone keeps missing important emails because their provider's spam checker isn't very good, that's not my problem.

Although I have to say that I don't run into these situations very frequently, and I use a basic postfix/dovecot setup on a VPS for my mail.
Specifically international students who would rather work on their own idea than a traditional internship
A problem worthy of an innovative solution.
I don't know how I'd make it work exactly, just in principle. I envision a group of people who have enforcement powers over the police, but nobody else. But in order to have enforcement power, they need to be immunized against retaliation from the police. Part of why I think they should have no power at all over anyone other than the police is to reduce the damage potential.

Clearly there are details that a policy expert would have to work out, I'm just a rando on the 'net philosophizing about how we as a society can stop the slide into a police state and preserve a healthy democracy.

Maintaining a liberal democracy seems hard, like it's an unstable creation that can only be sustained through deliberate effort.
That is a relief!
