Problem is more geopolitics, not economic. EU and US were hoping that Russia can be buffer from China. Strong but democratic Russia would help the West to reduce dependency on China production and be strong military deference. This is the main reason why Germany was trying so hard to keep good relationships with Russia. Unfortunately, another North Korea would just stretch US military forces on two fronts, Eastern Europe and South China Sea. Good thing that Russia started war too early and China is not ready to start aggression on Taiwan. In addition, West already changed perception on Russia, and it's starting to mobilize.

There is very good yt channel[1], unfortunately in polish.

It’s even worse now in Canada — not smart devices, but water heater rentals. These companies charge astronomical rates per month for a rental, or a large “contract buy out fee”. They give kick backs to developers so almost all new builds in Ontario will have them.
> Would you, personally, put your life at risk just to be one more protestor?

I could share you a video of unarmed Ukrainians protesting against russian invasion today in Kherson in front of russian tanks.

If I felt I was responsible for the country I live in, for the president I elected (and who decided to invade another country without any reason), I would put my life at 'risk' (realistically, would be fined or detained for a few days, not killed or jailed). And besides, the more people participate, the less risks are involved. So really it's up to them.

> honestly it’s a lot easier and likely more effective to do this outside of Russia

but you all see the enormous and unprecedented support that the whole world give to Ukraine, you see all of these gathering in every major city of every major Western country -- and yet it doesn't effect putin sadly. So easier - yes, but more effective - I doubt it...
There is a very small number of protesters. We'd need a million people to rise up in Moscow alone to make a difference. Putin has too much support among his voters atm. And the iron curtain only solidifies his propaganda machine.
Although everything you're saying is correct, you're being downvoted. And then people will just throw up their hands and wonder why Putin would do this lol
Fair, what i meant should probably have been worded: "Recommendations on drinking bleach to cure Covid" or etc.
Like it was with GME?
After recent events, that will not happen.
Then they risk getting shot or stabbed by a pro Putin thug or agent. Your advice is patently bad.

Nukes don't fly like a plane.

Not the number of humans it would take to replace their automated fraud detection algorithms to dramatically reduce false positives at scale, no. The whole point of their business model is that all of those processes have to be automated, otherwise they aren't profitable.
There are lots of polls done by non-gov-aligned news agencies or even paid by foreign outlets. All of them paint the same picture.

Even here in Lithuania we got quite a few people eating up Russian propaganda and supporting Putin. I’ve no doubts it works even better in Russia.

Any media is biased. That’s how humans operate. The key is to watch different sources. And don’t get into „both sides have some truth“ BS. No, sometimes one side is flat out lying. But IMO it’s important to understand the other side narrative to understand their logic.

Here in Lithuania we got non-stop coverage of Ukraine since 2014. But I’m sure we get no coverage on stuff that is far away and public doesn’t care much.
Why Steampipe over Boto3
I will never src a script to a third party server. Same with fonts.

I think it's ironic that we thrash chipmakers for side channel attacks that realistically couldn't ever be exploited but the same people turn around and call 14 different scripts from 14 different domains to display a 900kb web page.

Who really knows who has access to or is tracking access to that code? And what happens when one of them goes down?

"The CDN is WAY more reliable than my server."

But your server is the least common denominator. Who cares if your scripts load if your server doesn't? For low volume, unless you have redundancy at every level of the stack; you can't get more reliable than one box.
I ran Celery in many projects in production over the past 10 years; I would not recommend it. It is mostly a constant fight even though it is the first thing most people grab when they have a Django stack.
You very well could be right. It just seems to me that the surface area is large, and the value of exploitation is high. Anything from targeting sensors on the plane with lasers, to exploiting ground stations / satellites / IFF systems, to interdicting component supply chains and inserting remotely triggerable flaws. These are just the things that hit my particular mind immediately, but i'm sure there are many other possibilities.

Keep in mind that military aircraft have tons of specialized systems on them that civillian aircraft do not. And further, that countries would be willing to spend, literally, billions of dollars to build systems that could exploit flaws like this. So even for quite exotic ideas like say, designing ground objects with exotic shapes that have radar signatures that trigger flaws in onboard processing software, or whatever.

I'm just making things up here, but there are undoubtedly teams of physicists, avionics experts and cybersecurity experts tasked with studying this, even if just to ensure our systems are not vulnerable to it. It's possible that all that has come to nothing, but it would not surprise me if it hasn't.
You think this is a standard industry practice?

You think there are police stations across the country ignoring calls from local rental agencies reporting a stolen car?
I'd seen some of the Rand stuff but the Edward Norton shit is terrifying/hilarious. I haven't seen liberals this frothy for other people to kill on their behalf since right after 9/11. Lmao "please CIA FBI"! War makes fascists of us all.
here's an article [1] from Bellingcat (who are certainly quite different from RT and Gray Zone in terms of bias):

> In the most high-profile, but far from isolated, incident showing how Ukraine’s far-right movement is being mainstreamed by government leaders, Ukrainian Prime Minister Honcharuk and the Minister of Veterans Affairs Oksana Koliada appeared at an October 2019 event organized by a far-right figure on trial for murder. The event, called “Veterans Strong”, was headlined by the neo-Nazi band Sokyra Peruna, well known for its white supremacist, Holocaust-denying, and anti-Semitic lyrics.

> Some of their greatest hits include "Six Million Words of Lies"... [2]

> The fact that many believe that male circumcision is a grave violation of boys' rights to body autonomy is not.

For reference, how many people believe that? Like, is it a view held by 50% of the population, 10% of the population, or is it more of a niche view, or..?

Because when we get down to stuff that <10% of the population believes, things get super-weird.

---

Tried looking it up; appears to be a niche perspective. A significant minority of the population doesn't favor circumcision, but there doesn't seem to be much about folks having a huge problem with it. Also, it appears that, among men who were/weren't circumcised, it's more common for men who were circumcised to be happy about their parents' decision (from Questions 5 and 6 of [this survey [PDF]](http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/ugf8jh0ufk/to... )).
I disagree. There are highly respected political scientists that disagree such as John Mearsheimer of University of Chicago. Here's an article from the New Yorker;
https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-john-mearsheimer-...

He explains exactly how nato has made moves to expand, the puts Russia in a position to respond;

>"I think all the trouble in this case really started in April, 2008, at the nato Summit in Bucharest, where afterward nato issued a statement that said Ukraine and Georgia would become part of nato. The Russians made it unequivocally clear at the time that they viewed this as an existential threat, and they drew a line in the sand. Nevertheless, what has happened with the passage of time is that we have moved forward to include Ukraine in the West to make Ukraine a Western bulwark on Russia’s border. Of course, this includes more than just nato expansion. nato expansion is the heart of the strategy, but it includes E.U. expansion as well, and it includes turning Ukraine into a pro-American liberal democracy, and, from a Russian perspective, this is an existential threat"

You say I don't know why Putin is acting, and then baselessly go on to claim a reason with no support. The idea that all it takes is some strong action, without taking into account the valid objections actual experts have, is ridiculous. This isn't propaganda it's valid foreign policy discussion that many others agree with.
Is that a star trek reference?

The finishing sentence tells everything:

,,Beijing’s calculus vis-à-vis the use of force against Taipei can change, so the world must continually monitor the situation and remain alert to warnings and indicators.

Part of this monitoring must include scrutinizing Chinese assessments of Russia’s performance in Ukraine in the coming weeks, months and years.''
Putting an enemy alliance on your doorstep, close to Moscow is intensely provocative. This is on top of the other shenanigans we've already pulled with NGOs in the Russian sphere of influence, and Russian sphere of control.

We Americans blockaded (quarantined) Cuba for putting missles on our doorstep.

It is a very similar situation.

Buffer states can be a good thing.

Zelensky has treated Kolomoisky with kid gloves despite the PrivatBank thefts [1]. Why? Because his election campaign was bankrolled in Kolomoisky [2], and 1+1 channel, owned by Kolomoisky, gave Zelensky highly favorable news coverage. This despite Kolomoisky establishing & supporting the Dnipro-1 Regiment [3] which was implicated in humans right abuses, and murders of ethnic Russians. This same Dnipro-1 Regiment was the one accused by Amnesty International of blocking foods and clothing supply shipments to Eastern Ukraine. Dnipro-1 is considered a sister battalion of Dnipro-2, and the more infamous Azov Battalion [4]

An important distinction is that a sanctioned country can change their own behavior to end the suffering. (I.e. retreat to the previous borders or stop the genocide.) And without having to deal with complications like foreign armies killing and capturing.

War usually involves another country directly causing harm and suffering to an aggressor. To escape the aggressor often must capitulate completely.
I am not an expert on this but my understanding is that a fossil file plant wastes something like 60% of its energy as lost heat. There is also transmission losses. Whereas an oil or gas heater can get to like 97% efficiency in heating water when on site. Hell, you could get heat for free by just removing it from the smoke stack of a coal fired power plant.
Addendum: Look at Russia's conventional military on display in this conflict. Reliant on undertrained conscripts, poor discipline, poor planning. If NATO imposes a "no-fly" zone over Ukraine, Putin has no where to turn except to his nuclear deterrence forces. He has no dry powder except for his estimated 6000 nuclear weapons.

"Backed into a corner" is a phrase that is tossed around too easily these days. NATO does not want to force him into that corner with a "no-fly" zone over Ukraine. Brutal, backbreaking sanctions and the loss of support of a brainwashed public is the current alternative. I am certain that there are even harsher options in the pipeline. For example, cutting off oil and gas purchases, and sacrificing Western economies in an era of record high inflation. In my opinion, NATO will gladly make that trade to keep Putin from abandoning MAD.
So lucky, they have the highest suicide rate.

Compared to other OECD countries, South Korea's female suicide rate is highest with 15.0 deaths by suicide per 100,000 deaths according to the suicidal rate list, while the male suicide rate is third highest with 32.5 per every 100,000 deaths.
> it is all because of one guy.

It's not. There's many ways in which you can get in contact with russians. And many of them actually support putin.

Yes, you can say people are indoctrinated. But maybe so is putin - that's the problem with determinism.

hitler was not one guy. putin is not one guy.

I'm against lifting sanctions when putin dies. Much more has to be done.
The danger is that we'll end up with the same situation as we have with TVs - good luck finding a consumer-grade TV with modern specs that doesn't spy on you, ask you to create an account, show ads, etc.

Some people will say that there are still budget models (Sceptre is a common brand that comes up in these discussions) that doesn't have any of that, but they're not selling these products out of goodwill - they just have a lot of dead stock (panels, etc) that they can shift profitably. This stock will run out (and it does - do these TVs have any modern features such as HDR, a quality panel, etc?) if it turns out to be more profitable to produce spy devices that happen to display TV content rather than produce devices intended to display TV content with no interest (nor capability) to spy.

The proper solution is to heavily restrict advertising and data collection so that in the end the advertising-based business model isn't profitable and it becomes more profitable to just go back to the old model of selling good, purposeful devices at a profit.
One established business and another startup I worked at absolutely thrived explicitly because we built web applications rather than native ones.

In the first case, we kept it narrowly tailored to two pages that absolutely needed that level of interactivity. In the second, requiring customers' employees to install an app on their phones would have been a non-starter during the sales process, and the lack of an app was a major selling point for others.

YMMV- oddly enough, both made use of the canvas element in critical parts (these were not simple CRUD websites).
I like this method of visualization it is so much simpler than conventional music notation. This is what "player pianos" use, right?

Did you book a place that has history, or a new listing which could be a scammer?
Your ideal capitalism would also imply that labor gets rapidly rewarded for increases in productivity, efficiency, output, and restricted supply/excess demand for their skills.

Everything about America is quite the opposite. It is cartel suppression of rewarding labor, and has been for centuries now. Control of labor "costs" and hostile labor relations is openly discussed in business schools and the management community for just as long.

All you have to do is watch a CEO immediately demand increased compensation for some arbitrary increase in the stock price, perhaps due to overall all boats rising, fortuitous market conditions, etc.

But if you're a worker bee that saves the company a million dollars a year, or bring in 10 million dollars of sales by improving the product, what do you get?

A plaque.

You can also tell with the classic news story: "there's not enough available people for X job".

This is literally first day of microeconomics: well, increase wages (prices) in order to spur supply increase to meet demand. Which is heresy in oligarchical and management circles, the same "laissez faire" "economics is god-science" cult.

The theory and academics of economics have truths and pursue the same goals of any field of study.

But the sad fact is that economics as an institution of civilization is not, it exists to server the oligarch/management class, provide the tools of their continued and expanded influence, and suppress the people. It professorships are funded and sponsored by the rich and powerful. Think tanks, elite positions in central banks and regulatory agencies, and the like implicitly and explicitly reward those "thought leaders" that serve the rich and powerful, and exert a negative career influence on economists that do not.

This is not just squabbling over the share of the pie. The institution of economics is complicit in the decades-long denialism of impending environmental dangers that will threaten us collectively in the coming decades.
About 10 years ago, I started taking a 1h - 2h walk almost every day, before the walk I buy a coffee to go. It's easily the best part of my day which I look forward to after waking up.
Article does a great job of describing self-host. But they don't provide tips on how to self host in an easy way.

1. Is it hosting on our own CDN endpoints. How easy to set this up? Is there a 0 cost way of doing it for our experiments?

2. Alternatively hosting them on our own github pages or repos? - here we still depend on GitHub CDN.
> I'm just a normal person, I want to live a normal live with my wife and kids, I didn't choose any of that.

That's what 2000+ civilians who died since 24th of February felt and wanted. They didn't choose to die. But they died. And more will follow if you don't start acting (not you but you as a society, you as a group of normal people who want a normal life). And so this is why you have to risk
I guess the way I envision this is if you have a sufficiently elliptic orbit, at periapsis you're throwing propellant out the back to a standstill/non-orbital trajectory and at apoapsis you're throwing it into a higher orbit than the one you are at, just orbiting in the opposite direction?

I doubt it. Their forum seems pretty dead, Elasticsearch has the known name, etc etc. Seems a bit like MariaDb/Mysql where Mysql are still the default choice for most companies (over MariaDb).

I know some people on hackernews etc are upset with the decisions of Elastic. Suspect most people couldn't care less, even if they are even aware.
We’re looking to migrate from Elastic to OpenSearch for these reasons. We’re a really huge elastic user.

Also the EOL support on elastic versions are pretty aggressive now. It’s been a challenge for us to keep up with it.
> Nobody wants World War 3. ... the alternative, full-blown war across Europe and the potential for nuclear bombs being used is unfathomably worse for everyone both inside Russia and outside.

We may get it by mistake. A wider war in Europe is all too likely. The NATO countries and the EU are shipping large amounts of military supplies into Ukraine. One story mentions 17 US widebody cargo aircraft per day going into Poland. This is a real threat to Russia's attacks, because the supplies include the good anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. That leaves the Russian army fighting as infantry against a much larger armed population, a long, bloody slog. Unless Russia can cut off outside supplies, there's no path to victory.

It's all too likely that some attempt to attack Ukranian supply lines will reach over the border into a NATO country. Just some Russian pilot in Ukraine in a fight making a turn too slowly could result in overflying Polish territory. Where the air defenses are ready to shoot down anything hostile.

Re-read how WWI started. Everybody had mutual-defense treaties, and one minor event set it all off.

FD: I have a friend who works at Elastic, though he doesn't really colour my opinions of things.

> Firstly, dick moves like this: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/pull/1623

I understand that this is unpopular, but you can make a very strong argument that it's to prevent weird errors in the future. I'm also guilty of littering my code with Asserts to ensure the universe is working fine.

The alternative is to allow it to work and then you end up with weird issues like when you connect mysql client to mariadb server (and vice-versa): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50169576/mysql-8-0-11-er...

> Secondly, I don't buy the argument from Elastic any more. Yes, the ethical thing to do when you're making money from someone's work is at least contribute back. At the same time though, they're making money from packaging it up and selling it _as a service_. That "as a service" part is where they're making the bucks.

That's just an opinion, yes they have a service, and yes it competes with Amazon. Is it cool for Amazon to take a body of work and sell it without supporting it? Are amazon actually supporting it? Is it the same as Elastic using Lucene? (not really because Elastic submits a the majority of fixes to Lucene, but, you get it).

it's kinda gray, I'm sure Amazon thinks they're the good guy, but it's hard for me to look at Elastic as the bad guy in all this.
For the vast majority of normal people, just leaving the country without plans of coming back is the best they can do.
