I am conflicted about this. On one hand, people’s livelihoods are at stake, and one can argue some news is better than no news. On the other hand, by continuing reporting on events unrelated to war, are we not helping Putin’s regime to push the “it’s all fine, don’t worry about the war” agenda?
Yep, you have to create a profile in your browser of choice.

Note: it doesn't magically copy all tabs, but history is shared, and on Chrome there's a "tabs on other devices" bit where you can see open tabs on your other logged in devices. (Including from mobile)
The issue isn't the particular show or analogy. It's the implication of your comment that everyone should, unrealistically, try to be an expert in everything and thereby never seek a more concise "intuition" when a few hundred hours of research and self-study could be had.
Or in that moment you realize demand for your service exceeds supply and the correct response is to raise your rates until you have a reasonable workload. If they won’t pay $5k+ monthly retainer for someone who knows how to build their system, surely they have a cheaper alternative. Meanwhile the clients with budgets you really want to work for are happy to pay your fees because they’re cheaper than your comparable salary. If you’re selling a monthly retainer and hit that collision you describe, you’re in a fantastic position to negotiate rates. Better to be on a use it or lose it commitment than accruing unspent hours, otherwise yeah you can get screwed.
This. Absolutely this. And especially for the Warthog.

But, hey, there are flight simulators out there, aren't there?
> But somehow, linguists haven't gotten any of these memos and continue to use the term to describe a family of languages. That may be because Western linguistics has deeply racist roots

Or, because linguists aren’t crazy Twitter-obsessed kids who want to purify everything.

The best bet is to train end users to use the internet effectively. BigTech has spent the past 15 years laboriously dumbing down its users to become scrolling monkeys.
Yandex also paid to browser and smartphone vendors to be installed as a default search engine.
You don't. That's a way to punish all users of pirated software.
Their missile strikes seemed very effective, it's the rest of their army that seem inefficient. More efficiency would mean they would be further in the control of the country and would have sustained less losses. It doesn't mean there would be more civilian deaths, on the contrary I think.
> Russia has shown itself to be an irresponsible holder of nukes.

In which way, so far only a single country has used nuclear weapons in war, and it’s not Russia.
IKEA is way higher than the minimum level of quality. Their range goes from medium-low to medium. You can find far worse furniture than ikea (often more expensive)
My sense is that this is incorrect.

I think the law would prohibit breaking into people's computers, not circumventing internet censorship.

By circumventing internet censorship you're accessing information that its owner wants you to be able to access. You're not breaking into their computer.
Is there a better explanation of the oberth effect than what's on wikipedia? I can't get my head around it.

Best I can tell, it's more of a frame of reference thing more than anything else, outside the context of a gravity well it doesn't matter how fast you're going relative to another object?
I knew you meant that law, and the whole law is about "hacking" INTO computer systems/networks to access private/not-authorized data, not circumvent blocking measurements for accessing public/authorized-by-the-owner-of-the-system data.

>Believe it or not, law enforcement and intelligence agencies are permitted to do things ordinary citizens aren’t

Believe it or not, that's just partially true.
Broadcasting them in EU is banned.

But accessing them on the internet is not. Or in which EU country it has been blocked?

(I'm in EU but have not tried. Not interested in their content even for curiosity. I can read in our media what they say: There is no war. Ukraine is no nation, but Russians suppressed by nazis that ask to be liberated. In Russian media other standpoints are not mentioned at all.)

Edit: I have no good feeling about banning them. But I understand the Baltic countries: They have a substantial Russian-speaking community that consumes only Russian state media.
no. it's not. It just happened during the rise in the global oil prices
Must be at least 10y more if you don’t use Java.
In simple terms you are saying this is probably not a hijack?
The missiles launched in Ukraine are not remotely capable of hitting a sattelite. Modern missile defense systems do not fire a single type of missile. In the US case only the most expensive/fairly rare missile is capable. It undoubtedly costs far more to destroy a Starlink satellite than to build and launch one.
That's not the whole thing. See also subsection b:

> (b)the access he intends to secure [F2, or to enable to be secured,] is unauthorised

If you're trying to access a news website it's pretty likely that your access is authorised.

Without subsection b, literally every use of a computer is computer misuse.
> It is not easy to find articles explaining the Ukrainian point of view

Is it? Or is it just like the documentary you mention, somehow factual but leaving you only with contempt and outrage?
Okay so people with who are less smart tend, on average, to drink more?

Jokes aside, I am shocked that a study without a causal identification strategy is still published in such a journal. The authors straddle the line in their discussion, all but making causal claims regardless.

This would never get greenlit in fields that have been emphasizing rigorous science despite the lack of pure experimental data. Ironically, this now includes most social sciences.
Apparently, medicine has still ways to go.

Edit: of course, the newspaper writers who wrote this exact headline deserve to figuratively burn in hell.

This seriously contributes to the mispractice and misaligned incentives, such as in fields like nutrition science, where we have many great headlines but just about zero scientific advances in about a century
If you want this kind of abstraction while retaining some of the upsides of C, you’re better served with Nim or similar in my opinion
Russia is being erased from human diction and prime number usage
> "Russia will not need to wage a sophisticated air campaign any time in the next fifty years! The slop trough buffet is open!"

Most people at this level don't have a soul or patriotic feelings, so the internal dialog is probably: "I don't give a shit what happens to Russia, I'll find another country to feed onto".
Most people don’t drive to work in London. The city is too dense.
I wouldn't mind swiping through job matches generated by an OkCupid-like algorithm. I am guessing people would swipe based on what they care about and it is fine. For me, the salary and the mission matter equally as long as the salary is above some reasonable threshold.
The point is, Novaya will absolutely find a way to report about the rapidly declining situation in a manner barely acceptable by dumb censors. It's chief editor didn't get his peace Noble for nothing.
Actually just 5. I miscalculated somehow that there are 3 years between 2003 and 2004 (?)

However the significant bit here is the fact that Bush was re-elected despite lying about the reasons going to war.
I hope this won't fly in any sane court. If these articles are meant for customers only, then it's on the news company to use reasonable authentication and authorization of their customers.

The practice discussed here is more like the scam where they forcibly put a "good" in hands of a prospect, saying it's a gift, and then demanding a payment.
If you have to use C to extend an existing system, or hook into one, or leverage C code and so on, I found Nim to be brilliant. Because it is C once compiled.

I’m using it right now at work to build our firmware for our custom embedded board. It’s been brilliant: ESP-IDF is all C (mostly, some C++ but it all has C interfaces too) and wrapping, extending, calling and integrating into those has been a breeze.
Well honestly, then, fuck, where are the Alan Kays now?

Some of us started doing this stuff because of them and not because of profit and oligarchs and all of the libertarian BS here on HN. Some of us make big, strange things better and when someone asks why we can only point at things like Superman comics.

Where is the movement? Sign me up!
I think you misread:

> And then you have the problem that people are used to IKEA stuff being the minimum acceptable level of quality.

People see the IKEA level -- whatever that is -- as the minimum acceptable level. Anything worse than IKEA is not worth considering.
> Not interested in their content even for curiosity. I can read in our media what they say

If you're not interested in looking even for curiosity, how would you know whether your media is representing them accurately?

Do you think it would be reasonable for people in Russia to say they're not interested in looking at the BBC, even for curiosity, because they can read all about what the BBC are saying in Russian media?
Unfortunately, no. Consider prosecutions of users in the U.K. for accessing TPB via a VPN - TPB didn’t prohibit access, the govt did - but using any computer to access any information on any other computer which you are not authorised to access for any reason is an offence.
I was under the impression that you maybe could use a strong laser to damage satellites as well? No need to launch rockets, missiles, ...
> This won't work because the time cost of primality testing is too high

This is just a conjecture, though.

> No need to even use the pumping lemma.

But it's really easy to prove this with the pumping lemma. This could be the first problem in a textbook section that introduces the pumping lemma. It would be difficult to come up with a language for which the pumping lemma disproof was more obvious.
Do you expect them to fly Cessnas now?
Nice game! One cool / weird thing that happened to me is that I got better each try (solved it on the third one) but still have no explicit opinion about what the right strategy is, and what I was doing better. It's interesting to see one's brain take over.
I suspect they had the knowledge, considering Ukraine was where one of their early nuclear research facilities were - they were able to reproduce early fission experiments and made a proposal to leverage the ability in bombs in 1940 but were dismissed by nuclear experts in Moscow[0]. And it was Ukrainian's who worked to reverse engineer the V2 rockets post WWII and turned it into the rocket design that put Sputnik into space[1].

Don't the Russians and Chinese have lasers powerful enough to do some damage in LEO. I know that China has plans to clean up LEO "rubble" with lasers.
I'm always a bit perplexed when people hold up the BBC as an example of a respectable, unbiased news source - a lot of their stuff is ham-fisted, and some of it is flat-out propaganda.

I wouldn't say they are noticeably worse than other media staples - everything is biased - but they don't deserve to be on the pedestal they are put on.
that's true but it's more accurate to say we're ethnically, culturally and historically mediterraneans. because for most of history the mediterranean was a highway and the desert was a frontier.
"restrict access to information" means passwords, etc
And if the debris field somehow was dense enough to provide such a shield it would block out enough sunlight to cause the death of most life on the planet I suspect.
BBC stopped shortwave broadcasts to Europe in 2008 alas, glad to see it brought back.

Very glad. Was tired only hearing Radio Romania International and China Radio International.. :)
Heavy disagree here. Maybe it depends on the person and some take stuff too personally and get depressed, but knowledge is important ( and power in some cases). How can one be a citizen participating in his civic duties without knowing anything about the world outside of their immediate circle/bubble? How would you know X is going to happen so you need to prepare or protest against it? How would you know representative Y is a shithead you should vote out ot office?

Mikeb85

"> invades Iran
The difference between Ukraine and all the other countries invaded in the last 50 or so years is that Ukraine is a real democracy and liberal, modern society.

Iran, Syria, Iraq, etc... are not the same as Ukraine."

femiagbabiaka

"Truly amazing. This statement shows that you know very little about the history of Ukraine or Iran, Syria, Iraq."

Mikeb85

"It's truly amazing how much whataboutism and Russian propaganda there is in the US."

Mikeb85 is claiming that Ukraine is not the same as Iran, Syria, Iraq as a "a real democracy and liberal, modern society". femiagbabiaka challenges this claim and is stating that Mikeb85 doesn't know the history of those countries. Mikeb85 responds with "So much Russian propaganda and whataboutism".

Honestly, where is the whataboutism in what femiagbabiaka said?

Answer: no whataboutism.

All femiagbabiaka said is that Iran, Iraq, Syria were/are real societies not deserving to be bombed by stronger powers just like Ukraine; whether that is true or not is debatable but what is not debatable is not there is no whataboutism in that statement.

My pet peeve is people mis-using "whatboutism", calling whataboutism at the very mention of other countries such as Iraq; and above is a simple example of that.

Mis-using whataboutism to just kill all discussion such as on the topic of justified Western or Russian aggression.
I wish Elon would learn to be more tactful with his tweets. We need to make sure we work as covertly as possible with this tech and announcing Starlink for Ukraine like it’s some PR exercise starts the Russians hacking your system immediately.

Edited to be less of an ahole while still making the same point.

HarperDB – Globally Replicates Data at the Speed of the Internet
It's the typical "you're either with us or against us" mentality that is very common nowadays. It's very difficult to be listened to when you have a reasonable position (on any subject really).

I believe this mentality is created by the massive propaganda we have been subjected to since a couple decades.
Show HN: Word-in-one – a daily Wordle-style puzzle
That is a hell of a lot to pay to blow up just one obsolete tank.
Don't forget those babies getting thrown out of those incubators!
My favorite games of Wordle are the ones where my early guesses don't reveal any obvious information, but they give enough constraints to eventually deduce the answer without a lot of trial and error. So I made a game where that happens every time! It turns Wordle from a guessing game into more of a puzzle.

Let me know if you have any questions about how it works!
I think this was addressed sufficiently in the article, but the point bears repeating: if they're really thinking in terms of money, ehy are they continuing the war at all? it's a disaster economically.

The only way that works is if the air force itself is thinking in terms of money irrespective of the larger picture, but I'd find that surprising.

Well Cogent changed their statement and said that the reason they terminated their relationship with Russia is because of EU Regulation 2022/350 which is obviously b/s since they already started the termination before that [1].

This is a whole new level to banning Iranian and Lybian TV broadcasts by Ofcom by the UK. Very irresponsible and completely ignorant of all the slippery slopes and blowback that can happen. At least ICANN and the EFF is run by cooler heads.

But maybe you should check indian news which reported that Russia promised them buses to extract indian students[2].

They're probably deep in planned obsolescence since most people will use them about 3 times in 30 years.

The more common everyday things like kettles, vacuum cleaners, toasters, etc all seem to have very good options for not much money.

I've never driven a car, but my family seems to need less trips to the mechanics by far than when I was a kid. Computers definitely seem better in every way, and of course all small electronics like tape players have been phone-ified and seem to be much more reliable.

It may well be that slicers are niche enough that consumer versions are worse.

Still, nylon gears can be very durable(Unless any ozone gets on them, that seems to kill them).

A truly modern slicer with the same crappy materials would probably be using the MCU to predict the gear temperature based on motor current and limiting the duty cycle, and it would last a long time and perform acceptably well.

Either that or they'd have some direct drive scheme for then really nice ones, or maybe even some kind of no moving parts linear motor.

Modern power tools do this all the time. They shut down or reduce power for what seems to be no reason or a minor reason, but the computer probably detected some subtle overload condition I wouldn't have. It's a bit annoying, but it makes them cheap and durable enough to not think twice about buying used.

The stuff at Wal-Mart usually sucks, but there's almost always some affordable modern version that beats the older tech.

It does seem that 3rd party gears exist though, for some slicers.
You are not allowed to promote websites with someone else's brand name. The site you were promoting was a trademark violation and Google Ads took it down correctly. The trigger may also be the food delivery company complaining legally about your ads to Google.

Create your own site eg my-free-food-coupons.de and then run the ads.
Don't use Reddit as a news source. Some subreddits are cool and interesting, some are cesspools, but by definition they're mostly echo chambers. I only pull tech subreddit submissions because there the organic nature is actually a benefit.

For real news, assuming anglophone, i can recommend FT ( subscribtion), The Guardian ( no subscription but if you read a lot they have a banner asking you to donate), Axios ( no subscription, short form content mostly focusing on the facts). Axios skews a bit too much US for my taste ( I'm in France), but still has interesting things.

> "We all know what happens when content isn't curated"

Curation is about selection, not exclusion. As in selecting art for an exhibition on the basis of its value or quality. Curating is not about excluding or banning content via clumsy and vague censorship.

> "and it's really, really bad."

When trigger-happy censorship is the norm, really really really really bad things can happen.

> "become radicalized and violent when stupid bullshit like this starts gaining traction".

Bullshit like what? They (The Hill) were discussing and analyzing news, not propagandizing vulnerable youtube viewers.

It's disappointing you imply we need mandatory shielding from information, including analysis of news and events, with penalties for those not falling in line. Putin would agree with you. He threatens and shuts down media outlets for mentioning the word "war".

Mindless youtube viewers are not the tipping point to society meltdown.

I've watched a few 'The Hill' clips on youtube before, and I noticed they disagree with each other and provide alternate views. It's not a propaganda machine, so shouldn't be treated like one.

You may want your news and analysis to be grounded in loyalty to a monolith narrative and distributed via sanctioned memes. Others want more than that, such as counter-points, alternate views, robust debate, transparency and discussion. We learn more that way.

In my country Australia, we have a national "Q&A" TV panel show on the public broadcaster, covering news and politics. The idea is discussion, yet on the recent episode a young Russian Australian man was booted out of the studio audience because he mentioned he supported Putin's action in Ukraine. Instead of challenging the man's views, he was booted out live on air.[1]

This isn't how civil discourse should operate.
Your attitude is a little bit perplexing to me. You have so much faith in your media that you trust them to accurately summarise what other media says?

Though thinking further I kind of get where you are coming from - there's English language media from a certain country that's so bad at propaganda I cringe just reading the headline. Guess I'm not as open minded as I thought I was.

Covid disinformation down as social media pivot to Ukraine
All here is pretty awful.

The sad reality is that if the Russian army (composed by Russians) is successful, all Russian citizens including those who suffer would gladly "inherit" the raw resources, land and properties (those left intact) from Ukrainians without passing a tear. Putin's "Make Russia great again" plan would be cheered unanimously in Russia

If the Russian army fails, Russians have an unique in life opportunity of having Putin out of power. Ukraine instead keeps a country partially destroyed, or totally destroyed, or with big chunks unlivable for decades, and take huge loses in all their infrastructures and lives.

Some Russian people seem to want the gain without the pain.
Has anyone found the talk about the 1000x inefficiencies yet?
They're certainly not, but they're the biggest and the Russian airlines already own or lease a lot of Boeing and Airbus planes. Aeroflot is nearly all Airbus[0] and Rossiya[1] (largest operator of Russian-made Sukhoi planes) is around half Airbus, half Sukhoi. They could indeed just scrap these and buy a shiny new fleet of, say, Embraer jets but that would involve retraining pilots and support staff, not to mention actually paying for them and waiting for them to be built + delivered (I don't imagine Embraer have a big showroom full of planes ready to be taken home!).
