The possibility of stopping oil imports from Russia is putting additional pressure on the RUB - that's what I read at least.
To the largest extent, MAD applies to Russia and USA, they have by far the most nukes.

I am Czech and this war convinced me to be against our membership in NATO, which I think is ill-conceived, for the following reasons:

1. We should have our own defense, both on national and EU, and not rely on USA, who might have different interests, and is not always making us safer. USA might accidentally provoke Russia (their archenemy) or they might decide not to get involved in our defense for political reasons (actually, in democracy, it should be their right), leaving us exposed.

2. NATO causes proliferation of nuclear weapons, by expanding the trigger area, and also stations nukes in countries that don't own them. I favor a complete denuclearization of the world, IMHO MAD is a crazy theory that relies on rationality of people involved too much.

3. European NATO members are at this moment incapable of stronger (military) help to Ukraine, because of the nuclear (MAD) threat. NATO is now actually a reason why we cannot fight Russian invaders the same way Allies did fight against Nazi Germany.
The old.reddit redirect and RES are really the only reason I've continued to use the site at all.

With a well curated selection of subreddits (and removal of a lot of the "default" ones) it's actually really good. My brain naturally starts going "these links aren't really interesting anymore" after 100-200 links, and I task switch as a result.
I wonder whether MOEX will reopen at this point.
I don’t know if I would say it’s the sunk cost fallacy.

If he pulls out now having not achieved anything except destroying the Russian economy then his government is surely doomed. It seems likely that he would eventually be killed or at least imprisoned for life after such an event also.

Therefore his only option is to carry on in the hopes of getting to the point where he can claim some kind of victory, however likely or unlikely that may be.
> What is your threat model / situation that you care about attackers who reverse engineer patches, but are not in the small circle of people who would be informed before hand.

Virtually every single Linux user. I think what you're missing is how commonplace and straightforward it is for attackers to review these commits and how uncommon it is for someone to be on the receiving end of an embargo.

Most exploits are for N days, meaning that they're for vulnerabilities that have a patch out for them. Knowing that there's a patch is universally critical for all defenders.

For context, my company will be posting about a kernel (then) 0day one of our security researchers discovered. You can read other Linux kernel exploitation work we've done here: https://www.graplsecurity.com/blog

I wonder what the HN pundits say about the efficiency? (no sarcasm intended)
As I said, if fellow voters don’t wish to use their brains, that’s up to them. Of course, I regret that they have caused themselves harm—I also regret that they have caused me harm to some extent, although probably less, due to my socioeconomic position. Focusing on Putin is the infantile response of, in my case, a British élite who have run out of ideas and who would rather put up with idiocy like Brexit than implement a proper welfare state.

There's a possibility that these hacking/cracking groups are also under the purview of the government. Meaning, they could release non-malware infested cracks for goverment/corporate use. It's aslo possible that the teams may patch security exploits along with their cracks.

Be aware that DAB+ is not the same as DAB, it uses far better, more modern compression so you get better audio using less bandwidth.

DAB and DAB+ are robust against multipath interference which means that you can have much more frequency reuse.

Wikipedia has a calculation for how much spectrum is used by one channel, comparing a 192 kbit digital stream to a typical analog FM station. The digital stream is about 3 times more efficient.

Of course you can try arguing that a 192kbit stream is worse than FM quality. But really it isn’t.

Yes it’s different, it’s annoying you need a new radio and sure, in 1% of all cases you get no reception where with analog FM you’d get some barely recognizable noise. But 99% of the time you get crystal clear digital audio, exactly as transmitted, of pretty high quality.

FYI: Arabs also watch Spider-Man.

But that’s beside the point; it’s pretty shallow to base sympathy on superficial things like entertainment choices. Preferring the company of like-minded people is understandable, but extending that to include sympathy for innocent victims of war crimes?

Edit: for the record, fuck Bush (father and son, actually), Obama, Trump, Putin, Saddam, Gaddafi, and Assad.

Edit1: No, I am not a nihilist. But I do despise pretty much every government out there. Don’t ask me for a solution, I don’t know what it is. But yeah, the leaders of Western democracies are less harmful than Putin and the CCP. The politicians themselves might be just as bad, but having to work in a democratic framework limits what they can get away with.
It's not every Middle East country. And it's often not the civilians. And many of those countries have completely legitimate gripes with the US.

However, in a lot of the modern Middle East conflicts (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, for example) ALL the leaders are hot garbage (even and especially the ones that the US chooses to support), and the world would be better off if they all died in a fire.

And, quite often, when the invaders go home, the sects and tribes go back to killing each other with vigor.

None of this is a recipe for sympathy from the West.
> Going down as an aggressor and turning his entire country into a geopolitical pariah seems bizarre.

I watched this Guardian interview last week where a historian described Putin as a relic of the 19th century: a time where might made right. And I'm tempted to agree. He doesn't see the world with nuance; and doesn't give any credence to the concept of "soft power"—he's a realpolitik hardliner stuck in the Cold War.
How on earth does cryptocurrency help? If I owned RUB, they've devalued by the same amount vs every other currency, including bitcoin.

If your argument is 'you should have bought bitcoin before', then I could have bought any other currency before, including all the useful ones as well. There's no blockchain magic to the rescue here.
Wormhole-gui has evolved a lot over the years and has become a lot more than just a graphical interface on top of Magic Wormhole. To reflect that more clearly, wormhole-gui has now been renamed to rymdport.

Now onto all the exciting new stuff that has landed since v2.1.3. This release has focused deeply on usability improvements and bug fixes, but there are also many new features and performance improvements. Some of the notable changes are: support for sending with custom codes, UI scaling and primary color can now be changed in the settings tab, and support for verifying sends and receives before they are accepted.

IAAL, but am not providing legal advice here.

If this is a criminal case (I assume it is, given the FBI's involvement), the presiding judge has pretty wide discretion to set the terms of the punishment for a conviction, subject to the specific penalties imposed by law and federal sentencing guidelines. Unlike in a civil case, monetary penalties are intended to be punitive, not restorative. The best your attorney can do is make the case as best as they can and plea bargain with the AUSA to get the penalty as low as possible; and failing that, beg the court for mercy, and be thankful if you manage not to go to prison.

You can also plead innocence, go to trial, and hopefully avoid conviction altogether.

(BTW, this post can be admitted into evidence if it comes to the AUSA's attention.)
Is there something you could say about complementing Defender with paid MalwareBytes? Is there too much overlap to justify this? Or is performance hindered more than the additional benefit accrued (not that I feel it, system is responsive enough)?
Have you seen their demands? If Ukraine agrees, they get what they want - more land, won't get pounded by more fighting, etc. Seems like a crazy calculation but tit might be what they wanted. If Ukraine agrees, it also has the side effect of making Russia appear "reasonable" if they actually stop fighting.
So who makes that choice?
It's a builtin feature of us white folks to think everyone else is also white. /s
Unless the code is very well covered by unit tests, any refactoring can introduce bugs. If the code is well established and no longer changing, there is no ease of maintenance to be gained. There is only downside to changing it.

If the code is causing more work to maintenance and new development, sure it may make sense to refactor it. Otherwise, like the human appendix, just leave it alone until it causes a problem.
Right-wing leadership has already risen in Russia, it's a fascist Germany in reverse
I don't conflate personal property with intellectual property so this reasoning falls flat for me and doesn't appear to be contradictory. I can see how it would appear contradictory to people who do see personal and intellectual property as the same thing. I challenge these people to examine the experiences that led them to make this choice and which experiences would have led them to choosing differently.
It worked for Germany because they were arguably the world leader (or close) in technology and all sorts of things in the early 20th century. Russia is not that today and can’t buy their way into success. They can’t win a war against a small neighbor, the only thing to fear is a desperation nuclear war, and that risk is quite small.
>have heard from multiple Ukrainian sources that there is corruption and oligarchy in the Ukraine

I never claimed that Ukraine was not corrupt and Russia corrupted it. In fact, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries out there. Very long way down the road in joining the EU(maybe it can be accelerated due to the war).

What I'm talking about is the desire of people not to be part of the Russian way of governance and adopt the western practices.

Anyway, let's not turn the discussion into another Russia VS Ukraine thread.
> Youtube is not legally bound to air any random video that was uploaded.

Although, given that it's not a newspaper, but rather a massive telecom service, it should be.

> Censorship is when the government steps in to define allowable speech

Censorship is not a technicality, and if someone is capable of doing a mass filtering of opinions, it's still censorship. And given that the government can pressure private entities into practical censorship (congress hearings on how facebook does a bad job of filtering alternative opinions on controversial topics), the technicality part is so thin that there is no real practical difference, except maybe you don't even have any legal way to challenge it, given that there is no legislation.

If the Russian people can't convert their Rubles to USD/Euro or buy products outside their country, does it really matter? Like, sure if they bought something overseas it might cost twice as much as before, but that does not necessarily imply that you have to adjust prices for products inside of Russia, as everyone still functionally has the same amount of money.

Of course, this is without talking about all of the effects from being cut off from the global supply chain, which will certainly cause chaos on an economy. I guess what I am ultimately asking is, did the Ruble lose value, or did every other currency that isn't a Ruble gain value? Does the currency conversion rates actually represent purchasing power of currencies?
Sorry man I've lived long enough to see very bad people use religion to explain what they do or to forgive themselves for awful things that they do. I have met very few "saintly" people over the course of things. Luckily most people (at least in the west) don't give religion that much time in their thoughts and general don't shape their lives around it.
> Either violation of a nation's sovereignty is a crime or it isn't. If being an authoritariann dictatorship is the criteria when is Saudi Arabia getting invaded?

Ah but here you are changing the goalposts, the OP never said it was a crime, they said it was different. And it IS different. I marched against the Iraq war and was against those wars from the beginning, and I still would argue that they are being fought for a very different reason, a reason that is a big cause for concern. Afghanistan and Iraq, for all the folly, were not attacked with a clear goal of expanding territory and maintaining long term control of each country. US and allies were only too eager to get out if they could get some stability and not have it look like a big L. They were attempting to allow the locals to vote in a self determined government, however miserably those attempts ended up.

Russia is very clearly expanding its territory at the cost of a peoples right to self determination.

Now you can say, well in terms of the consequences, what's worse? If many more civilians die in the first case, maybe it's worse?

My counter would be, we don't know where this ends, and I don't think we can measure impact only in civilian deaths.

Additionally, I would recommend the R2P (responsibility to protect) doctrine as a good rule of thumb for when we may consider it necessary to overthrow a totalitarian dictator.
There was an active CCTV feed of the entire event. About 60,000 people were watching it at the peak. I personally saw RPGs fired, and hundreds of tracer bullets lighting up what apparently was an admin building like a Christmas tree at one point, and I wasn't paying very close attention to it because I was cooking dinner at the same time.

Granted, the reactors were a bit further away (and I think in a different direction) than the admin buildings. I do think the camera rotated to show one of the reactors on fire at one point, but from what I read it was a currently inactive one (although it had fuel in it) and firefighters were eventually allowed to put out the fires.

I don't think the goal was to blow up a reactor, it looked like the goal was to take over the plant to control a good chunk of the power in Ukraine, which makes strategic sense in a war, it's what I do in real-time-strategy games, is try to kill the power as soon as possible. But I'm also playing a video game and if the whole place blows up or melts down it's just pixels on a screen.

The amount of firepower I saw that close to nuclear reactors looked super dangerous and reckless and I think Russia got lucky that something worse didn't happen there.

Here's the part of the feed I'm referring to where they lit up a building, but all four hours of it are there (some of it nothing much was happening): https://youtu.be/fYUT36YGOh8?t=11467
For one, in my experience, CRAN only stores binaries of the most recent release of each package. This means that either you have to accept you can never rebuild a docker image, or you have to make sure that you are always able to recompile all of your R packages from source.

This means you don't just have to pin your R package versions, you have to pin all the build dependencies.

And you have to have a different image for different sets of R packages because they might have different build dependencies.
Religions don’t cause a uniform level of devotion. It’s easy to fall into the assumption that most religions are similar but that’s because the west is really used to a single family of religions.

>This is a massive strategic advantage that no sane American wants to give up.

I'm sure you are saying this from a point of privilege. If you are upper middle class or higher in the US you are benefiting from this arrangement.

Otherwise you are in an endless treadmill of barely surviving with the fear of no safety net and one missed paycheck away from ruin. I'm sure this vast underclass would say that instead of wasting money on this military instead a proper safety net + opportunities for advancement (eg. free college/healthcare) should be created...you know all the benefits that Europeans have and take for granted(built on the backs of Americans in a way).

>It's also one of the few things in politics that is a win win. It largely discouraged bad actors from war(despite Ukraine rn we have still lived in relative peace for a long time). EU gets defense, US gets clout to negotiate with everywhere. Best friends.

Yes it has made a lot of despicable people in the US very rich.

Allowing copies doesn't guarantee access in the first place. That's why Stallman wrote a license that levers off copyright to require disclosure of trade secrets, i.e. source code.

If the USA abolished software copyright tomorrow, more software development would go behind closed doors, and more finished apps would get distributed as binaries only. None of the users currently dependent on proprietary SaaS would be "liberated".
I once thought about what would be the best way to fill the seats in a legislative body.

My conclusion was that each person should get to choose up to two people from a randomly shuffled list of candidates.
The list would be 2*N long where N=(num candidates/ num seats).

That way everyone can carefully vet their choice if they so desire without being overwhelmed. Pandering to your base also becomes much less effective, unless perhaps the base is very large.

He gets a little into the weeds at the end of it, but you would probably enjoy the first couple chapters of Spinoza’s ethics. In the book he’s trying to create a solid quasimarhematical foundation for ethics based in his understanding of how the human mind relates to its outside world. His conclusion is that the world of the mind and the world of external reality run parallel to each other. He ‘solves’ Descartes’s mind-body problem by saying there is no problem, they are just two totally separate ways of talking about the same thing.

I don't know about them, but as a right winger, I've been extremely disappointed by the right recently. I used to think that the right's collusion with Russia was mostly a smear, but since the invasion many have shown to be truly pro-Russia.

Morning pages.

I first found the technique in the book The Artist's Way. Plenty of people have adopted it successfully to shut off the inner critic.

Basically the idea is you write a couple of pages every day without thinking about what you're writing. Something like stream of consciousness. If you don't know what to write just write "I don't know what to write" until something else pops up in your mind.

I consider myself a reformed perfectionist, having struggled with it for a long time. OP should take heart that perfectionism can be managed, and you can accomplish wonderful things.

Perfectionism has positive aspects, but only when you continuously work to direct those tendencies towards constructive ends. Left undirected, it can collapse in a paroxysm of endless refinement from which little escapes.

> "perfect is the enemy of shipped".

This is a key concept, although I find that a more negative emphasis helps me: I need to remind myself that overengineering is destructive. Not only to the shipped product, but to the unshipped product right before my eyes as well, as productivity and value added diminish towards zero. (Refinement and refactoring are not always net positive, because churn introduces bugs, and because models created without the input of actual users are usually ill fit.)

It is also helpful to involve other people — to talk to people regularly who are counting on you to finish something, to experience not only their appreciation but their expectations and their wants. Setting incremental deadlines for small gains, promising others that you'll meet those deadlines, and then fulfilling those promises creates a virtuous cycle.

Finally, I've had to accept that there are limits to the kind of environment that I can thrive in. I'm just not that effective when working on projects with poor engineering practices: failing CI, no documentation, chaotic version control, wildly unrealistic expectations. Some people can do great work under those conditions, and I can still function — but it doesn't play to my strengths so I try to avoid placing myself in such environments.
If that's fake, you can make an easy 50% profit by arbitraging it. If you are somehow practically unable to arbitrage it, then you just discovered the reason why the conversion rates are so different.

Well, the fuel is only like 20% of the cost of nuclear power, with the majority being capex, so there’s really little reason to build even more expensive reactors with more regulatory issues to save on opex which isn’t even significant.
