IMHO rule of the thumb is: If you can get away with simple random tokens, use that. If you can't (high-traffic distributed apps, microservices, serverless, etc.) JWT is probably the next easiest solution.

Good question. Most of the news you read about the conflict are fake at the moment.

Videogames footage has been used, old footage from years ago as well. The western media even used footage of Ukraine soldiers committing crimes of war, branding them as Russian soldiers, in the general indifference.

You have to understand, that as of now the western media have entered the war propaganda mode. If you want to inform yourself neutrally you can't trust anyone media alone.

I watch the Russia Today (RT) streams on YouTube. It's good to have a differing point of view. I don't take everything they say as granted, neither I so that with western media. There are also a few western youtube channels trying to do objective reporting on the conflict, my favorite one is S2 Underground.
Exactly. It's pretty obvious countries are hedging their bets for WW3.

Chinese social media is cheering on russian soldiers.

Chinese state media calls for "peace and justice"... and blames war on U.S aggression.

Chinese state media talks about Chinese Air Power and Shanghai Communique, one china policy.

Russia banned twitter and calling it an "invasion" or "war".
Russians are getting arrested for protesting a war.

U.S intelligence has known about the planning for this war for a while and even informed China.

Thanks, I think I'll pick western media bias instead.
> "get the rest later" never actually ever seems to happen when it comes to the US and EU.

This.

The neocon-influenced US addiction to spreading freedom and democracy to authoritarian countries has been almost universally deadly to their citizens. While these dictators are bad, it is the unfortunate truth that their brutality helps keep sectarian conflict in check. Look at every place that has had the US gift of democracy forcibly shoved down its throat.
> Back then I was shocked that one can just invade and annex part of a country in Europe and virtually nothing happens

We allowed them to slice that particular bit of salami, to warm the frog a little; I guess they thought it was a green light to slice further. Heck, their plan came very very close to working; the assumption was that they could land commandos at Kyiv airport, kill Zelensky, install a puppet (as previously) and then muddy the waters in the news (as previously) while the new president of Ukraine thanks them for liberating his country from the Nazis.

(this is a statement of what I believe their plan to have been, not an endorsement!)
My own strategy for dealing with lies on the internet is to not get caught telling them. ;)

My small but exquisite social network informs me of things like the start of WW3 and I miss out on something then I have simply made my choice. If it's not my agenda or the agenda of someone I love, then it doesn't deserve mind-share. The MAD-men who try to rule us with the threat of nuclear apocalypse deserve no one's attention.
There is a big difference between older people who sit around watching the news all day and those who practically live at your local YMCA. I strength train with quite a few people in their seventies. Full of energy. The sedentary ones have a laundry list of interactive drugs and only get out when they get carted to one of their weekly doctor visits.
This kills gnus/mu through Emacs, right?
Cons:

* While you can Takeout your data, enjoy the process of reshuffling gigabytes of Drive contents, calendar entries, YouTube videos, etc. Into other application systems.

* Disconnection from the Cloud makes everything strictly less convenient. "Oh, I'll just throw you a Drive link... Oh wait, I guess I'm going to have to upload it to something else that you may or may not have access to, or email it to you and hope that your email server and my email server agree on what the maximum transfer size is, or I'll upload it to a web server and toss you a password in hope nobody else cracks it while you're getting it because I misconfigured my server." Then, of course, if they need to make changes they'll have to email their copy back to you... Remember the days of report-final-final2-june-version.doc? Enjoy going back to that.

* Replacing one set of integrated Google services with a slew of third-party solutions means none of those solutions are expected to work with each other, and while you leave behind the disadvantage that Google could decide your account is terminated and you lose access to everything, you'll be replacing it with a disadvantage that any individual third party provider could pivot or collapse and you lose access to the service they provide. To say nothing of the need to have to track dozens of authentication credentials now, unless you delegate to a third party identification provider (whoops, that's also Google...). And, of course, since they're not funded by the largest advertising network on the planet, at least half those services will charge you money to be less convenient.

But how would we know what is hate speech and what is just nasty? Do we just ask you every time? This issue comes up? Surely everyone has his own defintion of what should be banned and what shouldn't be? What makes your definition more important than other people's definition?

No insult taken. Upon observing this same phenomenon, I am forced to conclude that I must also be more or less an idiot.
It's just VPN and MPLS connecting banks with SWIFT.
>Russia is an authoritarian state where open dissent with the government has repeatedly resulted in being imprisoned or assassinated. It's very easy to say "just go outside and hold a demonstration" from the comfort of a democracy, but I don't blame anyone for putting their own safety first even if they disagree with Putin's government.

If 50% of the populace hits the streets. The police are literally incapable of doing anything. Yes, they could even spark a civil war, but the alternative is the ongoing disaster of Russia.
I really like it. Are you in Berlin? I am working on something that might be aligned with your USP, I would be interested in chatting with you guys.
As a US based Namecheap customer for over 5 years, that supports Ukraine, I will be moving somewhere else, this in my opinion is not a way to do business. Internet needs to remain free.

They would probably stop serving anything related to the Russian government and military, but hopefully not consumers or companies, unless said companies (like military) end up on a list of companies under sanctions.
I've tried to frame it in terms of standard Propagation of Uncertainty rules. This ignores any correlated errors between inputs, but it makes it easier to understand.

When you immigrate you hang tightly to “your” culture it freezes you.

sometimes that’s good, sometimes that’s bad.

Agreed. And for people who like reading rhyming children's books, anything by Julia Donaldson is a good bet.

The US has a complicated relationship between colloquial and academic definitions. Academic is useful for understanding and discussing the history of systemic issues, but sometimes people try to over-fit them to avoid recognizing someone's suffering as legitimate or serious enough to warrant advocacy.

Most people here will apply the colloquial definition which is more or less another word for xenophobia. An academic racial analysis could help understand why someone who's seen as white and foreign is often treated better than someone born here, but someone trying to do that as an explanation for why you shouldn't care about a Russian immigrant's feelings would be rightly seen as a jerk.

There might still be some prejudice, as analyzed in this classic stand-up bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OB72GZOS4c
Yes. I have two daughters, and my eyes get wet and my throat closes every time I remember that scene. But then, it turns out that most likely I'm manipulated. I say most likely, because I'm not sure anymore, and I don't want to get invested anymore and research what is true and what is not.
they wanted to take Kiev in 72 hours. I don't think I would call it "going great for Russians" Some troops / people in the troops have good equipment, but seems that a lot of communication is going through short-range communication
For someone who is not attached to money knowing that we all will someday perish from this world, and is cognizant of only purchasing items within the means of affordability, the IKEA experience is compatible with me. So don't see where the hate comes from
This is good advice in my opionion. If you're trying to stay informed and perhaps to shape your opinion then I feel it's important to aknowledge aspects and arguments you haven't considered before. Weighing their importance is often out of scope with the information available but knowing there's another reason, perspective or argument can help.
This was one of my favorite books to read to both my children. Others have touched on all the reasons why so I'll throw out another couple books for any aspiring parents:

- The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton

- The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don & Audrey Wood (or The Strawberry book as we called it)

I'm extremely fond of the Strawberry book. I don't think I'll ever not love it. It's such a fun story that slyly places the reader as a character in the story. It's just a little bit sneaky.

And, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. I would pay real money for a framed copy of the disguise scene. It makes me laugh to this day.
1–4 are good, but 5 is not. The checkbox hack is decent in a few places (though I’d say <details> is normally a better choice now, and the checkbox hack should be accompanied by certain ARIA properties and augmented with some JavaScript to twiddle properties as it’s used), but dark mode is not one of them. The checkbox hack is only suitable for transient state that you actively don’t want to persist over page loads. Probably the most popular historical application of it is hamburger menus (but <details> or `:hover, :focus-within` are better for that now). I think a more reasonable solution for dark mode is the media query (prefers-color-scheme: dark), following the browser preference by default and augmented by JavaScript to allow overriding that. https://chrismorgan.info/blog/dark-theme-implementation/ describes my own implementation, which is the most comprehensive and efficient client-side-only implementation that I know of, as perfect as it’s possible to be while being client-side-only and without getting into service workers.
> The article completely fails to note the harsh compromises that must be made if you want to further encrypt messages with PGP or S/MIME or whatever. For most people, the most obvious one is that any form of webmail is crippled and you lose all server-side search, meaning that you need to fetch all the mail locally and index it locally. This is normally infeasible for phones.

Server-side (spam-)filtering would be another victim. (Okay, so in my case my personal filters mostly operate only on the From:/To:/... headers and so wouldn't be affected, but the effectiveness of spam filtering would definitively be reduced somewhat if the spam filter didn't have access to the message text as well.)
How about we avoid using this archaic system altogether and switch to IM already?
Let's step back from these geopolitical speculations for a while and ask: why would any European country invade Russia in any foreseeable future? It's the 21st century, Western Europe has its own problems, barely any army and Russia has nuclear weapons capable of wiping out humankind from the earth. It's real life, not some Paradox Interactive game. I mean, even in times when such invasion could have made more sense, Napoleon's France and Nazi Germany tried, and they both failed miserably. I simply don't understand Russian concerns and I think about them as cheap excuses for enslaving and killing innocent people.

You shouldn't be using a checkbox for dark mode (at least not as the main toggle). You should be using the css prefers-color-scheme media query so that you use the users default with no required interaction and no bright flash of white.

This underestimates the size of Russia substantially. Borders to the West are all pretty much closed. Which makes the minimum route 1000's of km with all kinds of complications along the way.
I don't think the Russians have declared they wanted to take Kiev in 72 hours. That's foreign analysis that may or may not be accurate.
Your response makes no sense at all, given the first-hand accounts of discrimination from women in the linked article.
Yeah Switzerland really enjoyed those angry looks after WW2.
For those wondering why there aren't any SWIFT employees chiming in:

- They barely have internet access at their Office, it's a big hassle and it's all recorded.

- Very strong security culture, both digital and physical.

- The company actively monitors the internet for any mentions of SWIFT. Lot's of stories of people being threatened with lawsuits for breaking NDA. Even if they detail the technologies used on LinkedIn for example.
Interesting projects/work
Interesting article. A lot of the stuff in there really doesn't surprise me though if you view it through the lens of how tough the times were - if born in 1910, there's WWI and the depression during one's youth and early adulthood.
Saudi Arabia isn't a nation is the traditional sense. It's a bunch of very western kleptocrats paying some ultra hard core religious extremists to keep the population from noticing the largest theft in world history.

Once you understand that model, the whole system makes a lot more sense. That's why irreligious leaders pretend to be religious. That's why western educated, allies of the US etc, export terrorism (it's a cost of doing business). That's why there are such insane punishments for everything including questioning the monarchy. That's why they don't actually give a shit about Islam or Muslims (see also the genocides in the Balkans or the "war on terror"). That's why Saudi finds itself the natural ally of Israel against Iran.
> neutralized Ukraine

If you meant neutralized in the military sense (combat ineffective) I agree.

If you meant politically (seeing as you wrote 'friendly' for Belarus): Ah yes, when I get kicked in the teeth I tend to be quite neutral about it afterwards.

Here’s my advice. If you still like working with data then you should look into consulting where you get to work on different projects across different domains. You have to build up your toolkits even within data science. Mastering something like GIS takes awhile and same goes for time-series/finance. And only way to do this is through consulting gigs.

i sorta disagree, the other day I told one of my neighbours I didnt follow a piece of news that was local and was waiting for it to blow over so people would let me forget about it.

Yes, go ahead and directly compare the US with China.
How many deaths can be directly attributed to each?
How free are the citizens of China to criticize the Chinese leadership? The US?
Which of the two country's practice organ harvesting?
Which of the two country's is practicing ethnic cleansing right now?
Is there a single historical event in the US that everyone is in fear of discussing at all? How about talking about Tiananmen square in China?
You don't think that China is "depleting resources"?

People like you always want to compare historic issues with current issues, when it advances your rabid anti-US rhetoric. The truth of the matter is that times change and people, countries, and industry is doing so much better now. Comparing the US of 75 years ago to the China of today is a dishonest juxtaposition, that both slanders the US and infantilizes China.

> I watch the Russia Today (RT) streams on YouTube. It's good to have a differing point of view.

How does watching a state-controlled propaganda channel offer a "differing point of view"?

Isn't the goal to be exposed to truth, as opposed to a smorgasbord of different forms of propaganda?

Is it that you want want to understand what the perspective of someone who lives in Russia is going to be, acknowledging that the average person's information sources are likely highly state-propaganda-filtered?
Walling themselves off from (edit: potential) protesters at taxpayer expense is still good, though?
These companies think we are the ememy they must secure their devices against. Users having total control offends these corporations because we become too powerful and subversive.
