Is there a way to deal cert pinning without decompiling the app?
The only rational response to that would be a nuclear attack on Moscow. Likely, though, he just wants to make you think he’s that crazy. Madness is a major component of MAD.
think for a minute: great engineers - i mean really great engineers - how many do you know? it's pretty rare right? it's an awesome thing and a scarce resource. think about how many you can mention. if you've been around it's not zero or one (yes of course you), but a handful. in my case 20-30. i feel lucky to say that.

now - how many great engineering managers have you come across? i mean really great, not just OK. not just barely acceptable. great - you'd want to work for. you'd quit if they left level great. in my case 2-3.

you think engineering is hard? engineering management is the rarest skill there is

"Another basic problem with MSRs is that the materials used to manufacture the various reactor components will be exposed to hot salts that are chemically corrosive, while being bombarded by radioactive particles. So far, there is no material that can perform satisfactorily in such an environment. A 2018 review from the Idaho National Laboratory could only recommended that “a systematic development program be initiated” to develop new alloys that might work better. There is, of course, no guarantee that the program will be successful."

Ah I see, my mistake.
// The app doesn't support connecting to unofficial endpoints.

The app means the official Signal binary?

// If you have a custom app compile, it's no longer really "Signal".

Why? I thought one could compile an app from the GPL Signal codebase and use it to connect to own server.

They don't want others to connect to them so as to have a high level of security, which includes rapid deployment of state-of-the-art security features across their whole fleet. But any individual or group is free to deploy Signal's code on their own servers and apps.
The dollar is only one currency. SWIFT is the network that allows transactions in multiple currencies across banks easily. There are a huge number of sovereign currencies in the world that you can buy things with, not just one. Probably more central banks than there are large mining pools.

If mining pools conspired to, say, fork a chain because somebody stole a lot of tokens due to a bug, it amounts to the same kind of control.
> A steam explosion is what happened to the Chernobyl reactor in 1986. Although this lead to a serious disaster, it is much less destructive than an actual nuclear explosion (Wilkins, 2011). Due to the nature of molten salt reactors, the risk of either a steam explosion, a hydrogen explosion or a meltdown is effectively eliminated.

To be honest, I don't actually want to work at a place that has better job security.

Obviously, I wouldn't mind better job security for just myself; but if the downside is that my employer can't get rid of the dead wood, I'd rather work elsewhere.
> I've never seen such an influx of fake news coming from literally every source. When even newspapers blindly lie it's hard for the regular person to understand what's going on.

That's a common tactic of propagadists: To paraylze people - make people feel powerless by convincing them that everything is a lie.

Everyone lies, but that doesn't mean there aren't honest people, sociopathic liars, and a big chasm between them. No publication is perfect, but there are plenty of very credible ones.
I assumed the "viewing" was to bring a sense of closure. Maybe that's silly. Does it help to see them dead? The last viewing I went to the person's hands and face were bruised because of IV lines and such. It wasn't nice.
> It's truly remarkable how the Russian flavor of misinformation sounds just like a pathological liar making up wild bullshit that nobody could possibly take seriously.

IIRC, the correct term is disinformation, and I believe the idea (at least sometimes) is more akin to "jamming" than any kind of persuasion (e.g. encourage passivity because it's too much effort to sort out the truth from the lies).
No he isn’t, then he’d be at war with at least 3 other nuclear powers. You know Poland is both EU and NATO right?

He has a difficult time winning the war already, he’d never be able to win if he pulls in more countries.
The only right wing proposals to "simplify" the tax code have been ridiculous proposals like the flat tax.

You know, the one where a single mom with children to feed pays the same percentage of her income as the single billionaire that wants to buy a 3rd yacht.

Look up Grover Nordquist. He has devoted his life to making sure paying taxes doesn't become too easy. And he ain't no lefty.
(genuine question) How is there a clear path from tinnitus to depression?
It's weird how people don't seem to understand. He's saying that Putin is a threat and a liar, and that this campaign is based on a clever deception.

Obviously it wasn't as clever as Putin hoped, because nobody in the whole world except a few Russian HN posters believe it. But saying that your opponent has a clever plan does not mean you're on the opponent's side.
If an AI can do my job, an AI should be allowed to do my job. I don't want a union to "protect" me doing a job which can be automated. That's a waste of human talent and potential.

It is terrible to hold back progress just to provide "make-work" jobs protected by unions. Should we still employ elevator operators?

In a scenario where my job is obsolete, a union would simply delay the inevitable. It might keep the company from replacing me with an AI, but the company would therefore eventually fail to competitors who could. In the meantime, the union would make people miserable and delay progress.

For what it's worth, I completely agree that developer jobs are on their way towards automation. Instead of trying to fight that trend with unionization, I focus on being part of it (building automation tools) and building a capital base.
Conspiracy theory: he was discharged in order to mask the fact that the president does not in fact have the power to launch on his own.

My reasoning: the top level military are career professionals who would not trust or give such power to a politician who got the position by winning a popularity contest.
> People don't pay a monthly subscription for a lawyer their not likely to use even though a lawsuit or criminal charge is one bad day away.

Sure they do. TurboTax offers for an extra fee on filing legal insurance that covers a legal defense if the IRS challenges you.

One of my past employers offered a legal program as an optional perk we could opt in to, as well.

I thought about that one quite often. There are also a lot of jobs where the 7th and 8th hour take 10 times the effort. My experience is that anything over 5h requires budgeting my energy or otherwise holding back.
They could be good idea.
Ukraine can trust China they try to protect them if agreed to. They doesn't have to do this with military force and even if Putin suddenly decide that Chinese can't be trusted anymore - China is ALSO nuclear state so direct military conflict is unlikely.
Russia can trust China that if Ukraine and China agreed that Ukraine will not enter NATO(one of reasons for this conflict according to Russian side) - China will honor this too.
(It's unlikely Russia will trust NATO on this anymore).
Issues of Crimea and Donbass and Donbass remains but Donbass is easily solvable - just let China control implementation of Minsk agreements. Crimea is more complex .

This is a flawed rule then.
Was it really a defeat for the US? Seems more like the US realized the futility of nation building there and just withdrew, hoping the propped up Afghan government wouldn't just surrender or flee.
> but there's a full court press online insisting this can't possibly be a legitimate stance.

That suggests some conspiracy. Instead of complaining about persecution - a common tacitc to change the subject from the weakness of one's argument - because people disagree with you, how about making your argument and listening to others?
> Historically in Europe, you would only be buried long enough for the flesh to decompose and then bones would be removed to an ossuary.

At least in Greece (not sure about elsewhere in Europe), this is still the normal practice in urban areas. You rent a grave, typically for 3 years, then the bones are dug up and moved elsewhere, commonly a shared family ossuary.
And like an insurance policy, it costs you.

Not all insurance policies are good.

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZLhRP01jz8 seems like a possibility.

> one claim for the invasion is that Putin was worried that Ukraine would join NATO, if they are that friendly to NATO, then he must have known that NATO would help fight.

Well, look at what's happened. Look at what has happened previously in Crimea, look what happened in the Ukraine separatist regions before. Look at what is happening now. He would not necessarily have to be totally irrational to believe objectives could be achieved there.

How would annexation of Ukraine further Russia’s strategic goals at this point? NATO expansion is getting more popular by the hour, as is joining the EU. Economic sanctions weaken Russia, and will continue for years to decades if Ukraine is annexed. Sure, the Russian army can get total victory given enough time, but winning the war doesn’t benefit Russia.
Competition is insurance against that, too.

Alas, unions can have their own principal-agent problems and bureaucracy and hubris.
Corellium can also bill you hourly at (IMO) much more affordable rates.

You obviously do not support what we are doing in a vacuum. We are trying to hurt and ruin the lives of people who had nothing to do with something (and some, as in this case, who were even actively outspoken against it) because of their nationality. We are becoming the worst of everything that the "liberal world order" is supposed to stand against. The reason you might be okay with this is because of Machiavellianism - a belief that carrying out large scale injustice might trigger chaos and even a revolution/coup/insurrection in Russia and eventually result in a nation that might be more aligned with our geopolitical interests.

When you look at history the one thing you will find is that things rarely work out how you want them to, and more often than not the resultant end is often nothing like you desired. We successfully worked to overthrow the democratic, secular, and relatively benign and democratic government of Iran in 1953 and replaced them with an exceptionally unpopular puppet monarchy. Then in 1979 the Iranians had a genuine revolution of their own against our puppet monarch and installed their own government. This is where the current radical Islamic government came from that, for some reason, really doesn't like the West. Today we'd give anything to have the Iran of 1953, but that's a bridge long since turned to ash.

And the other tales are endless as well. The point of this is that Machiavellianism relies on a claim that the ends justify the means. But even if one believes that, you can't really make that argument in good faith when you cannot realistically claim to have any idea of what the ends will be. All that one can be certain of is that we will live through the means. So we are turning into tyrants for what may very well be an even worse future for Russia and us alike.
Not true. You can frame it in a way to get the truth out. You gotta dig past the surface level bs.

It is totally possible to get these real answers out of people. Your human, they're human and are able to simulate hypotheticals quite accurately if the simulation is framed correctly.

In fact I find it highly highly mistaken to think that it is fundamentally impossible for humans to answer that question.
Don't worry, you'll get the forfit part just not the not paying part.
Why isn't RISC-V on board with this?
As a manager it should be terrifying and strike fear into your heart at the thought that your entire team's last recourse is to just up and leave with no notice. With a union you can bargain, understand the problems, and resolve them.
Or running JVM GC. Or on pointer chasing. etc. Most code is just not well optimizesd.
Your comparing apples to oranges. The Boring Company number is maximum capacity (“able to carry”) while the Metro Madrid number you calculate is an average of actual ridership which will be much, much lower because they only operate at maximum capacity some of the time and even then only in one direction.

A maximum capacity 7,500 an hour or even 15,000 is well below some subway lines which have maximum hourly capacity 50,000+ passengers in both directions. But they never achieve that in practice because only one direction is ever at maximum capacity and never average that because transit lines mostly run below maximum capacity.
Do you have a list of the names of those 50 killed?
Could you? I thought accrual methods weren't allowed to think about future probabilities and had to decide on whether to recognize an event or not. I mean, if you had counterparty risk insurance, that would make sense. So I guess if you treated yourself as self insured, you would could create the same accounting treatment?

Working at startups is not the way to wealth (i worked at too many). Goodluck and networking will get you there much quicker then hard graft. Thats how the majority of the winners come about. Getting lucky out of the blue, thats a totally different game. You idea could be the best, but because you couldnt market it, its a nothing burger. Do you want your kid to grow up around a stressed out shell? or a WFH dad who can spend their timing growing with their child?

I this guy sounds like me; my honest opinion is u can get a job, and still work on your side project. The guys i know who made it at our age, well they are telling me they wish they wernt that successful because its so much more stress. Being responsible for employees is a totally different game to SWE. It changes you.

We'll see if it actually ships; seems lots of people have the same idea right now.
Finland's population is about the same as Melbourne's, Estonia about the same as Adelaide.

I'd suspect it's likely that in countries with much larger populations, socio-cultural-economo class-like variance is probably higher, and inertia greater, so change is more difficult.

I live in Tasmania, half the adult population is functionally illiterate, and voting is compulsory, so we have a situation where the pool of talent to select from for society wide decision making is more limited, perhaps, and the decisions being made have to be somewhat tolerated by the population.

Agree in the general sense though, we should be looking to model our systems more on places like Finland and Estonia, rather than US / UK.

What's the union supposed to do for me in this scenario? Stop the march of progress to protect my job? No, thanks.

Unions are the reason why eg the NYC subway is so uniquely bad, for basically exactly the reasons you outlined. They oppose almost labour saving technology.

> [...] they pay market rates because they have to. If a company can reduce that cost by lowering wages or lowering headcount every tech employer is going to jump on the opportunity. Founders out there know this is a pain point, and they're working on solving it.

Yes, obviously. That's how progress works. Higher productivity makes economies richer. Competition makes sure to distribute the riches. (Add some government-led redistribution via taxes and welfare, if you feel like it.)
And this is part of why a lot of Germans have always been uneasy with nuclear power.

It's not that nuclear is easy or perfect. But until we scale up renewable energy by orders of magnitude, or somehow scale down demand, nuclear is the least-bad choice by many measures.
>> Purposely causing nuclear disasters is one way to ensure a country can never join NATO or the EU

> Why? Nuclear disaster is bad, but how would it ensure that a country can _never_ join NATO or the EU?

> Ukraine already had the Chernobyl disaster on their soil, and I don't see that one as keeping them out of either organisation _forever_.

And didn't the EU pay a lot of money to help them build a new containment building for it?

It's a bizarre leap to say a nuclear disaster would disqualify a country from joining NATO or the EU.
And that is why Germans are in an uncomfortable situation, being so dependent on Russia for gas.
Yes. Developers have always worked on automating developers' jobs. Both their own and other developers' jobs.
Internet speculation is that the power plant will be shut down once taken over. Which at least minimizes the ongoing risk of human error. Heck, shutting down is probably a far simpler process than continuing to run - nuclear power plants are designed to be shut down if necessary.
Even though it was on Ukrainian soil, still: USSR had Chernobyl disaster, not Ukraine. It’s one of the reasons Ukraine separated from USSR.
EU's anti-immigration biometrics projects in Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire
Two thoughts come to mind:

1) The West has already weaponized the law. It is currently operating on the Latin American dictator model of "for my friends, anything; for my enemies: the law!".

2) The United States strongly opposes the ICC treaty and does not accept its jurisdiction overs its nationals and is even willing to use military force to free any of its nationals should the ICC ever try to enforce jurisdiction over an American[1]. In similar, but less violent terms, Russia withdrew from the ICC back in 2016.

So my point is, why would Russia care what some court with no jurisdiction says? It's already obvious it won't matter. The West is already going full Treaty of Versailles on them - so what difference does it make? There is little credibility left for the West, either in terms of rule of law or moral authority to be telling anyone what is right or wrong.

This is something that most of the world sees by now, but the West is comically unable to look in the mirror and see this and I'm afraid they will only notice when it's too late. It's absurdly self-destructive but the West consider it "winning", yet the history books will almost certainly mark this as the most obvious inflection point where the West lost the plot.

They are literally doing total war without provocation. The theoretical threat of NATO has not been a part of this conflict at all. Treating that imagined threat as if it’s equivalent to the very real war is navel gazing excuse for a mass murdering fascist.
