Apologies for any confusion, I wasn't implying, I was *stating* that you have no idea what economic sanctions are.

"As a result of sanction orders, we have blocked multiple financial institutions from the Mastercard payment network. We will continue to work with regulators in the days ahead to abide fully by our compliance obligations as they evolve."

> The fresh smell of sun-dried clothes can't be beat.

I see your sun dried clothes and raise you one fresh cut lawn.
I think there are two reasonable positions that aren’t contradictory:

1) public figures should anticipate public attention;
2) women and other minorities receive order of magnitude more harassment online when they become public figures

In this perception it seems reasonable to be a woman in public, anticipate more harassment, and operate in public appropriately. After all, she’s not legally obligated to open her replies (and people can qrt or screenshot if they want to engage).
My first reaction was "this is going to force a bunch of people to use cash again"

But the, maybe obvious to you not to me, consequence is that this could shutdown the entire online marketplace in Russia (at least in the short term)

Also I'm not sure I'd call it a sanction since it's coming from a private company, not a government.

If I were any country right now I'd also take it as a warning to not depend on Mastercard or Visa given the immense power they hold
The problem is that results in some users with privileged knowledge and other users without. The OP has been using language like "they" to refer to editors as some unified, privileged bloc but that is incorrect, and part of the issue. (If they have found some specific users to be "gatekeeping" content, that is a problem and there exist mechanisms to redress that[0].)

Ultimately, if the OP wants "the editors" to see information to add to the article, they will effectively be publishing the information publicly, since anyone can be an editor, and there is no mechanism for protected sources that are available to only some special cadre.

That breaks the Wikipedia model -- in article namespace, everyone should be able to review the same source information. The concept here is called "verifiability" for a reason. Wikipedia's strength is that you can ultimately go check and confirm the source.

By writing articles from privileged information, Wikipedia effectively becomes a primary source on a subject, which is a big no-no for an encyclopedia in general, and for Wikipedia specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research

It can be frustrating, but it is a necessary minimum. As to perceived accuracy, Wikipedia has a General Disclaimer[1] for a reason.

If this all makes you less trustful of Wikipedia... good! I can't speak for every wikipedian, but I personally welcome skepticism and encourage users to verify anything they have doubts on.

I think having affordable mock interview platforms makes sense.
Everyone would love to unbreak the seemingly broken tech interviews, and the platforms should adapt to whatever interview format companies pivot to. As of now, the more practical solution is to prepare candidates for what they are up against.

The ability to recall one or two 3 or 4 digit numbers having previously "jotted" them down plays well here. If you can remember the 900 in this worked example, whilst doing the other half of the sum.. you hit a moment where the heuristic recurses and you have to "jot down" a partial result to finish the sub calculation.. to then add to the damn.. what was that value again...
I'm not sure I believe this article, if you are a truck driver an aren't making $2,500 per week in todays market you are not paying attention. Truck drivers with 2 years of experience are getting 10k+ sign on bonuses now. And if you own your own truck your walking away with 7k - 10k+ per week, per mile rates are the highest they've been in years.
I'm Brazilian, living in Brazil, and I wouldn't mind heavy economic sanctions imposed on my country to force us to take preservation seriously. Our government will say "the first world countries destroyed all its forests to become developed. Why can't we?" and I wouldn't mind those countries replying "Sure you can, go ahead, but so can we economically sanction you as heavy as we think is necessary to make you chance." This president is a joke regarding the environment. A joke. Outside of environmental concerns, here are some pearls: his Minister for Women, Family and Human Rights said on a lecture how Disney's Frozen movie shouldn't be watched by girls, because the princess who lives alone in a castle an isn't married is obviously lesbian, and Disney is out to brainwash girls. This is not out of the ordinary for her to say. The president of the state foundation for the preservation and promotion of african-brazilian culture has said that slavery was good for africans. The Environment Minister was caught hearing during a crisis that, since the focus wasn't on the environment, they should seize the moment to 'steamroll' over environmental legislation because few would notice. How do you expect the Amazon situation to not get worse with this guy in power?
The OP is a question about what happened not looking for the hundred alternatives and add-ons there are out there. What happened?
Agreed. I am highly critical of how he chooses to conduct himself publicly, aka Elon can be a donkey hat but his product history is nuts!

D) stop directly subsidizing Putin’s war machine by buying Russia’s oil & gas.
Could be worse.

I live in a city that has a centralised heating infrastructure (every building gets a hot water connection), and my apartment came equipped with a heat exchanger that connects to said heating system. I have to _lease_ this heat exchanger from the energy company, and I cannot opt out. The lease is like 50 euros per month, though the MSRP on the unit is only 400 euros or so. Then I still need to pay for actual heat consumption, which is also 3 times more expensive than a gas powered heater that is commonly found in my country.

Once again, this isn't a pack of oreos you're buying from the supermarket and asking to swap a vanilla in the pack.

Negotiating details is perfectly reasonable at this price point. Swap out the oven or I don't buy the house. This is a case of accepting no and then paying for the privilege.

Modern journalists are used to observing social media to determine and reinforce trends. When something won't trend on twitter or propagate on FB because those platforms have added it to their hardcoded lists of 'topics that will never trend even if literally half the userbase tweets the hashtag' it's almost impossible to get the media to pay attention to it.

If you give out guns to people who never used them, they won't be as effective. Also I think you're underestimating the logistic difficulty of storing and transporting tens of millions of weapons (and ammunition) before blitzkrieg cuts you off. You could have a storage in each city, but you still need to move the guns to smaller towns and villages, as well as enemy spies could sabotage such transports...
For those allergic to the "nightshade alkaloids" (this is a handwave to a biological term I can never remember) the answer is "yes".
Mind, for those of us with such a sensitivity or allergy (it's both for me) - a lot of plants are unsafe. (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, goji berries, persimmon, and anything dosed too heavily with neonic pesticides sigh)

The root mistake is taking in user input without any checking.

It's not the author's fault, it's JavaScript that leads this way. Even worse is TypeScript, as its compile-time checking adds a false sense of security.
Yeah I think we agree here. I didn’t mean to assert that chomskian regular grammars or regexes satisfiable by a state machine hadn’t already been useful; I meant to say that because they have existing math implications and properties that new uses for them would imply connections to other maths, analogous computations, new proofs or ways to solve things, etc.

And yeah, they’re faster because they can be statically compiled to the point of running strings “through” the expression rather than running the expression “on” the string, so to speak. (i.e as an FSM, iterating char by char the operations boil down to purely compare and branch to known destinations)

That's not what I meant. Was already thinking whether this was clear enough or if I should edit... apparently I should have edited. Apologies.

I meant it the way that pxeger1 mentioned in their sibling comment: the person denying your (SO's) edits was saying something that is clearly not true.

Without looking at the implementation details, I would expect this code to throw an exception. A "garbage in, garbage out" philosophy seems dangerous for a SQL statement.
I didn't forget it. I believe that's a sub-strategy of C.

That said, even if you believe your suggestion is separate from mine, there's nothing to preclude choosing both C and D.

If solely focusing on Russia's oil exports isn't enough to get the job done, we need to apply economic sanctions across a broader section of Russia's economy, if we're going to act at all.
This is really a bad argument. There is plenty of non-profit media and they have not produced anything directly contravening the mainstream for-profit media on this topic. Even in any respectable for-profit news outlet, they wouldn't let a PR firm dictate coverage and convince them to run something untrue for money. They can and frequently do alert them to something newsworthy in the interests of their clients. Think about something apolitical like movie reviews. PR can definitely influence the volume of coverage, but it can't generate positive reviews.
It’s hard to remember as long ago as last month when peaceful Canadian protestors had their assets seized without due process. We already live in a world where so-called first world nationals have this happen to them. It’s not about countries or individuals, it’s about power. And the rulers of the west have demonstrated the power to completely destroy someone financially by flipping a few bits as well as the willingness to use it at any scale. It used to be you had to send armed men to seize wealth, which doesn’t scale well. Now it’s all keystrokes which scale up to the total population just fine.

But wait you say, those are bad people, and I’m a good person, I have nothing to fear! Good luck with that.

Edit: It didn’t take long for a good person with nothing to fear to assure us of his status.

I think the main reason to use plastic would be the potentially higher refractive index and better strength properties, which are also why plastic lenses are used in spectacles (some glasses can have higher refractive indexes but still require heavier thicker lenses to avoid the risk of shattering). I would assume that glass lenses would be more likely to shatter if the phone were dropped. But it may really be that the plastic lenses can be manufactured to a higher quality for a reasonable cost.
Comparing this design to Apples laptop/iPhone design really shows how different the engineering styles are...

Nearly everything in this camera is standard off the shelf stuff except the CPU, sensor and plastic mouldings. Whereas nearly every component in an iPhone is designed by/for Apple - even down to custom inductors used in the power supply. Remember the 'L-shaped' WiFi chip!

I think it's a case where high volume + high margin allows world leading engineering, which nobody else can catch up with because they will never manage to get high volume before they have engineered an awesome product.
> Slate.com used to be known for, as an example of unique voice and differentiation in mainstream media that may be going by the wayside in the age of social media: “ Slate had a whole editorial style that was based around provocative — some would say trolly — articles and up-is-down theses.

How the hell is that unique either in "MSM" or online media? He basically just described Gawker, BoingBoing, DailyKos, and a slew of other "hot take" sites. In terms of traditional media, every city has the garbage tabloid-level paper.
Putin's forces attacked a nuclear power plant. It's time for everybody, including corporations, to pick sides. Neutrality is not an option.
As other threads have stated, outbound Russian flights have been permanently shut down beyond a few weeks from now (and all flights are full). It doesn’t seem to be the case that exit is an option for many Russians, money or not.

I mean hell, my oven died a few months ago. We don’t have gas so induction is really the only way to go.

We current had induction and didn’t want to go back to radiant

Between all the appliance stores in my area we found a single unit that was in stock. Everything else was two months out.

Unfortunately it is a smart oven. Good thing is that it just nags is about adding it to WiFi but doesn’t force it.

But either way, we had no damn choice on a new oven due to supply chain issues.
First of all, this is awesome!

Potatoes keep for months if stored properly, which means in a cool, dark place and still covered in soil.

Unfortunately supermarkets prefer to sell washed potatoes in transparent plastic bags sitting around in bright lights, which is just about the worst possible way to do it.
More interest and resources put into recovering them could counts also, as is a coveted trophy and much easier to sold to Museums. If resources are scarce, many efforts will focus on T-Rex even if there are more species in the area. Is much more difficult for a museum to survive displaying only the sparrow size dinosaurs.

And smaller animals have fragile bones.
Perhaps it would have been simply best to note that island nations are generally insulated from invasion in ways that continental nations are not. Great Britain had the long term national security to forge an empire while the continental nations of Europe were engaged in endless back-and-forth wars (often at the instigation of Great Britain). Japan had centuries of peaceful self-imposed isolation while the continental nations of China and Indochina were engaged in endless wars, which was utilized to build up an empire while safely protected by the Sea of Japan. Being an island nation is an immense geostrategic advantage that is apparently not completely obvious to all observers of history.

It seems like every major infrastructure folly, at its heart, simplifies to "Someone made their career espousing a certain worldview, and when facts changed in future decades, were unwilling or unable to change their now-famous beliefs."

In this case, car > rail.

Which was true and progressive, for a period! Say, 1950 to 1970? But then became false as the growth rate of cars outscaled roads.

I'm not sure that many people realise what economic sanctions mean, as I replied to someone else on this thread:

That's only possible if Microsoft signs a public key the distro owner controls and then embeds it inside a special build of their shim. In that case the distro owner can distribute any Linux Kernel they want, but they need authorization from Microsoft beforehand. Therefore you can't publish a UEFI Linux desktop without being in league with the adversary.

>What bias do you think CNN has?

CNN was openly anti-Trump for the entire administration, as in, instructions were literally passed down that reporting should be slanted in such a way as to taint him.

It isn't a case of having to think they have a bias, it's a case of literally being told that bias is part of their policy.

It wasn't hard to spot, either. Their reportage during the Trump administration was absurd. You'd have headlines and first-paragraphs that were contradicted by the entire rest of the article; the headline and intro para made Trump look bad, the rest of the article begrudgingly attempted to convey the facts. It was utter nonsense.
It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where 1 nuclear weapon is launched at the United States that doesn’t doesn’t end in the proverbial Mutually Assured Destruction.

The US and Russia together have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 20x over.
What happened in Putin’s Russia had happened in many other counties. What makes it special is large nuclear arsenal that makes Putin immune to an intervention. I won’t go into how much Russians are responsible if at all as this is just too controversial. But I do believe that a long term solution is international pressure to establish functional political institutes that are more powerful than any single politician working inside them. I don’t care if it is called a democracy or something else. I care about the system which is above any single participant and does not break when someone tries to take full control over it.
Haha, mowing the lawn ignites my hay fever. No thanks!
