Ukraine crisis has a long history, we're only witnessing and recalling the last 40 years or so. Putin views Ukraine as a country which should not exist at all. This is a position that Stalin took almost a century ago before causing 5 millions Ukrainians to die from starvation. We have to understand this: West can not make Russia to change this view. With our without the support of West, whether Ukrainians want to join EU/NATO or not, no matter what West or Ukrainians do, Putin will never leave Ukraine or any other Brezhnev doctrine[1] countries alone.

Print media subscriptions are some of the best money I've spent. No bullshit, few unobtrusive ads, no tracking, no distractions. Supporting free press.
Is this a problem inside a small company though? I would expect there to be much better signals about how alpha-ish a library is in that setting (i.e. talking to your coworkers).
Ah, yes, surely cutting access to independent information will help russians in their fight with Putin
Feels like the books written by the old hands are losing, badly, to the comic books and the movies, doesn't it?
To be fair the war lasted up until a couple of months ago.
> We are literally sacrificing their country and encouraging suicide.

Who is we ?

A) President Z and the Ukrainian army can literally wave the white flag and let the Russian tanks roll into Kiev - they are the ones doing the sacrifice here

B) Or President Putin can give the order to withdraw

Who else need to be involved here ?
What Ukrainians think: opinion poll in Kiev
First Facebook and now Twitter. Is HN next? Any Russian know how popular are these American social networks in Russia?
Interesting to hear about that doing the matrix translations on the js side are faster. Have you benchmarked this recently ? Will have to test it out myself, was under the naive impression that the underlying implementation would be optimal.
Excessive consumption as fashion has gone the other way for young kids.

Environmentalism seems to be "cool af",to the point where not owning a car is virtue signalling.
Podman also works fine rootless and with cgroups2, double win.
About 5-10 per week. Just a normal engineer. As company policy they get marked as spam and ignored.

The bigger problem is the vast majority emails I read do not understand our business. The last time I made the mistake of speaking to a sales rep (I believe it was DataDog) they simply did not have the technical depth to understand what they were selling or why it was like asking me if I needed a reciprocating saw to bake cakes.
The Spotify model is a great example, though, because all the record labels put their music on basically every music streaming service.

Streaming video, not so much anymore.
1. It's a squat of a name by outsiders who have no moral right to use it. It has nothing to do with the actual Web, and merely wants to ride the popularity and goodwill built around the Web. It's like branding crude oil "CocaCola2". The Web connection is usually justified with some story like "Facebook is bad, therefore we must use Blockchain", but that's suuuch a stretch and non-sequitur. BTW: the naming is off-by-one. Web 2.0 was collaborative and decentralized, and ended roughly when Google Reader was shut down. The monetized hellscape we have now is what has replaced Web 2.0 already, and we don't really want it monetized even harder.

2. There's a massive gap between how "web3" is advertised as an ideology/manifesto (decentralize, democratize, and other nice things), and what it actually turns out to be: NFT grifters, automated piracy, cults of superstonker discords with monkey avatars, a bunch of VC-backed moat-building services for unregulated amateur stock market.

3. It's a disaster for energy use and GPU availability. ETH switching to PoS is as imminent as Tesla having FSD. Meanwhile it's a fertilizer for ransomware, endless pump and dump scams, DAOs of rugpulls, and a great tool for bypassing anti-terrorism and anti-war sanctions.

The world isn’t a Marvel movie with good guys and bad guys. It’s more like Sicario: mostly bad guys with some innocent people caught in the crossfire.
My understanding is that retrospectives on the 2020 civil unrest have found limited, if any, connections between the protestors and damage to businesses. At least in NYC, the majority of the looting (which was, in fact, minimal!) and business damage was done by opportunists[1].

Indeed, the NYPD spent nearly all of its time surveilling and cracking down on peaceful marchers, rather than responding to looting incidents[2]. A conspiratorially minded person might think that the police believe looting to be in their political interest.

Are Waymo and Cruise not commercial products?

I think they work in most conditions. How someone can look at Cruise and Waymo already in operation today and think they won't be generally available in 7 years is amazing to me.
This isn't really true. Almost every major newspaper posts op ed, letter to the editor, or opinion pieces that are often clickbait. They are okay with it because it gets views, and they can say, "Oh that was just an opinion piece, not our actual views" if it goes sideways.

a fun exercise would be to put something copyrighted in a key. sort of like they did with a prime number that one time
This is spot on! What has shocked me is how easily the narrative has been pushed in the EU. There has not been much backing for less confrontation. On the contrary, EU more than anything, is escalating by imposing economic sanctions on the Russian people. (Does sanctions ever do anything else than push people into poverty?) Everything appears to be designed to push Putin into a corner so he has no choice but to use those nukes. Are there any efforts at all to de-escalate the situation?
Nice.

I'm pretty sure it's fast charging that is more detrimental to the battery life. The included charge cable that charges from a regular home socket charges at 3.3kw, which is the max you can do with the type1 socket on the car even if you use a dedicated home charge point (unless your particular car has the optional 6.6kw onboard unit upgrade). My charge point can deliver 7kw, but the car limits it to 3.3kw.

The ChaDeMo socket can charge much faster (50kw I think?), But you aren't easily going to do that at home.
it is fine, Biden said all of this will be fixed in the union speech. Like Trudeau in Canada, he says all the right thing, hard to disagree with him... let's see if the action will follow the words. Personally, I am disillusioned with all of this mess, NATO just pushing forward for decades, now we are in this mess and the ukranian people will be used as "chair à canon" and the russian people will be broke to an extent hard to conceive, even for the low tier of poor american people, which I am also sympathetic too. what a mess.

People do like ads, if you judge by their actions.
This sort of thing is just a terrible idea. The main people who will suffer are just regular Russian citizens, many of whom have been protesting the war.

I know it's hard to target only the government and leadership with many of these punitive measures, but this broad-based measures that have a lot of collateral damage are pretty awful.
Good. Use those and don't steal from others.
In this half-fraught context, I'd like to raise the question of a potential new era of "liberty ships" -- i.e. proposal(s) to build modular nuclear plants using shipbuilding technology and scales. Presumably high standards of quality control could be maintained from the start.
As a Slovak, Interslavic feels easier to read and understand, though I can understand Slovio as well.

From my experience, Slovak speakers can understand other Slavic languages pretty well: Czech is basically our second native language (although for some reason it seems Czechs don't understand Slovak quite to the same degree), Polish, Slovenian and Croatian are understandable as well. Russian is a lot harder, even when written in Latin. I don't have experience with Ukrainian.
> Do you know about what Victoria Nuland (leaked intercepted tapes), Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsay Graham, Hunter Biden, CIA John Brennan, etc. did in Ukraine?

They brought freedom and democracy to the Ukranian people. It is axiomatic.

Seriously, how can this be down voted or disputed? Reality might be hard to accept but this is ridiculous....
How does the forth parameter affect version ordering though? Since its a pre-release I would assume v0.1.2-3 actually comes before v0.1.2. You'd have to ensure make all your versions have the dash I guess.

It's such a weird qualifier, like does this mean it's not expected to work if GPS fails, or that it's not going to work in a hurricane, or what?
Yeah I was struggling with this one a while, seems there is no way to know the actual devicePixelRatio of the display inside a browser, as the browser zoom level directly affects that.

Or does anyone here happen to know a way ?
In defense of that point - it is probably fair to blame that missreporting for thousands of deaths - not all the deaths of the Iraq War, but a big chunk of them. Don't forget that contemporarily you had an immense amount of well founded skepticism about the true cause of the war which turned out to be quite accurate in retrospect but was decried as unpatriotic at the time. The Iraq War is the first time I personally experience news comedy being a more reliable source than traditional media.

In defense of the NYT, vetting sources is hard and they publish a whole lot of good content.
Aha thank you! Much for me to think about.
I was careful to add "national" newspapers since those are the primary targets of those who seek to propagandize. I find immense value in a local newspaper that informs the citizens of new or upcoming policy changes, development, and other matters that are more likely to directly impact your life. Support your local papers!
I love these. They tend to work for a while a then break. So many articles are behind paywalls now. Or at least account walls.

I get that you have to make money somehow but if you put out 1 thing I'm interested in per year its not worth a subscription for me.
actually electric vehicles predate ICE but this guy named rockafeller who owned a really big oil company, and had a lot of this really volatile byproduct from his kerosene production he was looking for a use for...
Maybe rather the EU instead of NATO?
I think he is easily one of the smartest people on YouTube and is producing some of the very best videos. He is also a brilliant educator. For examples, his videos on special [1] and general relativity [2] were real eye-openers for me, even though I have studied physics and have seen this stuff explained a million times before.

What I really don't like are the new video titles. At some point he started A/B testing them to maximize his revenue. He even made a video about it [3]. Of course, this selects for the most outrageous clickbait in order to get that sweet engagement. I am starting to wonder if he took into account, how much this is starting to alienate long-term followers.

But an article worth reading is seldom justifies buying a subscription to ALL the articles.
I think military-industrial complex gets its pound of flesh rain or shine. Westerners like their high-paying defense jobs. This is about bringing the entire world, state-by-state, under anglosphere concepts of law/property/morality/etc--but instead of subordinating Indians and Africans, it's Slavs this time.
It’s not just clickbait though. If the US wants a war, chances are most mainstream news organizations will all agree. If the US wants to expand the surveillance state, most mainstream news will tell us why it’s necessary. If the US wants to deregulate, most mainstream news will tell us how that regulation was actually hurting the economy.

I’m tired of the “good news is worth paying for” argument. I don’t disagree with that idea, but I think it’s time for a lot of the mainstream news organizations that people suggest I pay for to die. They had their time, things have changed, and they are failing to adapt. Let’s try something new.
This seems like a questionable idea at best, and I wonder how effective this will really be at keeping Russia offline. Unless the internet backbone within Russia is also disturbed, what's to stop another neighboring country like China from supplying Russia with connectivity? Sure, they may have less bandwidth, but this could be mitigated by kicking ordinary Russian citizens offline to reserve bandwidth for the disinformation and hacking campaigns.
So basically they should just become a Russian vassal?
That doesn't make any sense to me optically.
the other reply alluded to this, but to make it explicit: nothing about this CVE requires docker and it looks like you should be able to do it with a few syscalls in any process starting with a call to unshare(), unless something else (like selinux) is getting in your way.
Both aspects exist, that's my only real disagreement with Mearsheimer (the significance of each is another issue.) You just laid it out in a way that he seems to refuse to in the interview, so unfortunately half the interview was the 2 guys talking past each other.

An interesting theory, but hardly comparable to what is going on in Ukraine.

Canada is not compatible with Russia, so forming a military alliance is a crazy idea.

Putin is the aggressor who has invaded an European country just because their actions did not suit him.

There are no acceptable excuses for the invasion, it's a very dangerous game he is playing as Russia cannot live with the sanctions in the long run.

At the very best he can hope to get away with an agreement that Ukraine will never join EU or NATO, and will stay neutral forever.

Even then, there is no 100% guarantee that Ukraine will not go back on that deal in the future.
Neutral doesn’t mean taking no action though. It just means they’re not part of a broader alliance. Switzerland can take any action they wish

It's because most peoples exposure to crypto is through scams in their Facebook feeds (anecdotally my Facebook feed advertisements are 75% crypto/nfts), and crypto being pushed on them in places they don't want it like video games and trading cards.
If you were familiar with the current system, then you would know that "diversion" isn't just a parallel judicial system, it includes rehab as a fundamental part of the process. Or in other words, the solution you claim to want is already part of the system.

If an addict or mentally ill person is repeatedly harming others..., the only solutions are rehabilitation or incarceration. The problem is that we are failing to rehabilitate and following that, we are failing to incarcerate.

Non-violent addicts are eligible for diversion, which means a separate judicial process that includes rehab. But only first-time drug offenders are entitled to diversion in lieu of incarceration. A person cannot be forced to rehabilitate: they must choose to rehabilitate. If rehab fails, it is because the addict has failed, not the system.

Violent offenders are generally not eligible for bail, and are not eligible for alternative sentencing options like diversion, home detention, half-way housing, or early release. They are simply incarcerated in jail, prison, or a mental hospital. We are definitely are not failing to incarcerate these individuals...once they commit violent crimes. The problem is that we simply can't incarcerate them until they commit a violent crime because homeless rights advocates have convinced judges that these types of individuals shouldn't be incarcerated because their too mentally ill to understand what they did is wrong. (Yes, the very thing that makes them more dangerous is also the grounds for not doing anything about it until someone else gets seriously hurt.)

Addicts (even violent offenders) can participate in rehab in prison. If they are eligible for it, want it, and there is space in their local facility's program. They cannot be forced to participate in rehab.

Mentally ill individuals who cause harm go through the process of "civil commitment" whereby they are committed to a mental hospital for treatment and remain for at least the duration of the prison sentence they would have served for the crime if not mentally ill. Depending on the extent of their illness, and the role it played in their violent actions, they may remain committed for significantly longer than they would have if they had served time in jail (and may even remain committed indefinitely).
“Is thing in wallet” strikes me as much easier to implement then n^2 api integrations across companies. It’d be easier to do the api method via drm platforms like steam at the cost of lock-in to those platforms; cross pc/console access to any item would be far from guaranteed. Outsourcing all of that logic to a centralized (ex google blockchain) or decentralized blockchain and wallet just seems like a more scalable (num of actors not tps) approach with a low barrier for entry for each individual actor.

Your comment about “trust” has little to do with the technology. It’s a cross between legal gray areas (which would need to be solved/accepted if this becomes the norm) and dogma surrounding web3. I tend to agree that this isn’t likely to happen unless from software essentially abandoned their ip for some reason. But if that happened, it’d be a cool way for the legacy to live in future games in a way that pays homage to the original creators. It’s a use case that makes much more sense then just copying a random gun from one game to another because there are years of history in the item.
Mearsheimer has this annoying tendency to switch between two completely different claims: (a) that the west caused this crisis in a billiard balls sort of way, x leading to y leading to z, and (b) that the west is culpable for this crisis. Yes, obviously NATO expansion and EU overtures to Ukraine must've upset Putin and that may have played a role in all of this, but unless we think that it's reasonable for Russia to dictate to other countries which alliances to form and what kind of politics to pursue, then there's no moral responsibility for the outcome. So which is it then, did we not pay attention to Russia's "legitimate security concerns" or did we not pay attention to their illegitimate "great-power politics"?
My problem with Mearsheimer and the other realists is they have a very poor explanation why the status quo changes. Yes great power competition explains why tensions are high but does little explain why and when they spill over to war.

Notably absent from this article is any discussion of "why now?". Commenters in the thread are saying that his 2015 article on the subject could be written last week. That's precisely the issue. Why did Russia raise the stakes in December? Sure, NATO's eastward push has demonstrably increased tensions but the eastward push has been frozen since about 2014 since countries can't join NATO if they have territorial conflicts. If anything tensions should have been easing with a new, slightly more Russia friendly, German Chancellor, the nearing completion of NordStream2 and President Zelsynsky ran on a platform of improved relations with Moscow.

If you just look at the independent variables you inevitably are going to make conclusions from ideology rather than testing hypothesis. This type of article is the international relations equivalent off economists have predicted 5 of the last 3 recessions.

You can also see this weakness play out in Mearshimer's answers to journalists questions about the agency of Ukrainians in this article. He dodges the question and points to a speech from George W Bush in 2008, which was 15 years and 3 presidents ago, and prior to the current Ukrainian regime. In contrast he can't explain why the Baltics entering NATO did not trigger the same reaction. If we're going to look at history we can't ignore that these Eastern European Countries have endogenous reasons for joining NATO including the USSR and then Russia's long history of invading those countries.

Creating a database is >= O(n).

While creating and editing a database, it is SOP to create/maintain and save data structures that provide fast access later.

Is there some reason why you couldn't do the same for XML?
No "normal" business model really works for news because there no way to align reader and publisher incentives.

* Pay per article incentivizes click-bait trash.

* Subscriptions soloed content, incentivize anger as a service, fearmongering, and addictive practices.

* Ads incentivize both.

The ideal news source for the reader is one designed to minimize its use.
Yeah, I refuse to resubcribe to them or the Times.

If the only way these ailing news orgs* can survive is by being manipulative jerks to people trying to stop paying them, then let them burn.

* Neither the Economist nor the Times is ailing
The free press is the only private organization mentioned in the US Constitution and often called the fourth branch of government because of the oversight that it provides.
It's inevitable that those with power will try to abuse it.

What surprises me is not that people, companies and governments are threatening to cut off internet services from certain groups, but the fact that these entities have that kind of power in the first place.

I think those who have built their foundations based on enemy technology deserve what is coming to them. However, I hope it helps others at the sideline think hard about their own reliance on enemies and work more towards independence.
Using Cyrillic would allow to avoid digraphs and diacritic.
I have rather different experience. Most people either don't care or don't know how to. Unless you're tech savvy you're watching ads. And if you're on mobile you're watching them anyway in many cases.
I'm not anyone is assuming much about the moral behavior of the Russian state right now.
These use cases seem pretty poor, and surely most (such as the intrinsic content block) could simply be an inline-block?
I wouldn't underestimate people's vanity so much.

Also there are numerous other complications that get glossed over. How many L5 cars are going to be available in my area on a popular holiday travel weekend that have a roof rack for kayaks and a 7 pin trailer connector and electric brake controller for my camper? Not to mention giving up the other customizations I enjoy with my current vehicle - removed rear seats for more space/less weight, dash cam, winter tires, etc.

I suspect if self driving comes to fruition it will be a mixture for many people. I can definitely see our 2 car household just owning one car that fits our niche use cases, and then one on-demand cars for daily work trips and filling in the gaps.
Yes, but that's like saying the sky is the limit.

Also, we are presuming that this will always be a one-sided affair, and that self-driving cars will always have to adapt to roads and not vice versa. I'm almost certain that once self driving cars become a thing somewhere, they will be so desired by everyone else that people will become willing to clean up messy infrastructure elsewhere that would otherwise preclude their deployment.
