Almost nobody does. There is just no advantage in switching to digital radio, and most likely there never be.
For clarification, this is what it actually allows:

> In general, H.B. 263 “permits banks in the Commonwealth to provide virtual currency custody services so long as the bank has adequate protocols in place to effectively manage the associated risks.”

There are already many large financial institutions looking into this, so it makes sense for Virginia to allow it as long as financial risk management is properly planned.
This is a lovely spin. The Budapest memorandum was moot when Russia invaded in 2014. It is obviously even more so now.
> the whole system is implicitly predicated on those jurors mostly being inside some culture window where they know what’s happening at all.

I think they are explicitly assumed to be from community, so that they understand social aspects of issue. I remember layers talking about that.

I am no expert on this, but jury gets very specific questions they are supposed to answer. There is a lot more to it both in theory and practical then just folksy wisdom against "the nerds".

> But then you introduce stuff like I Fucking Love Science propaganda plus Hair DNA Matching: SCIENCE! And how are people supposed to use their common sense to apply judgement?

They are not. This part is supposed to be on layers to not allow "propaganda" into the room in the first place. If the system regularly pushes in bad science and does not enable defense to conteract it, issue is not with jurors at all.
>Apple even sells it. I'm pretty sure it's literally the same panel as the iMac.

It is.

>The desktop monitor market is mostly driven by ...

I'm always surprised that so many people buy large monitors whilst ignoring the resolution. Big is better seems to be the mantra when it comes to monitors and probably most other consumer goods.
First of all, I wish you and your family stay safe. Nobody in Ukraine don't want death to _all_ Russians, however we hope all Russians who crossed the border with weapon in hands, will die here. After all, they _always_ have a choice: if a soldier don't want to kill Ukrainians and destroy our cities, he can surrender in Ukraine.

Second, I'm afraid you don't know what "emergently evacuate" means. Completely. Family evacuation is when you're in the car with 2 kids while Russian helicopters attack Gostomel (city near to Kyiv) and go just above your car. Emergency evacuation is how now people try to leave Bucha, Irpin', Mariupol, Kharkiv, Chernihyv, Sumy. This means that their lives are _really_ can end accidentally because of warefare.

Third, my question - if you didn't support Russia government, where you did for the last year? Last month? While Putin collects hordes on the border with Ukraine? Oh, you opened eyes only when West sanctions start working...

I don't blame you. However, all this pain that we feel here in Ukraine, because you (and millions of Russians like you) didn't interested in what _your_ government and _your_ leader prepared for last 10 years. Interesting questions - what is your position about Crimea?.. That was a bright sign that Russia goes to hell, but you was blind.
"Universalist" ideas don't bind elites together because they are more high-minded or educated, they bind them together because universalist ideas liberate capital flows and thereby enrich the elite (in material terms) at the expense of everyone else (and not only in material terms.) Capitalism and Schizophrenia is an in-depth discussion of this - "universalism" is simply capital flows destroying all social norms that impede them.
I was going to lambaste you for being pedantic and having no soul and then I went to an scope and looked at what was available and MAN can you buy a lot of microscope for not a lot of money. I’m assuming the quality is there.

It’s a far cry from the prices I recall in the 80’s when I was a teenager. (Well, probably similar, but in 1980’s dollars)
Nobody is saying your friends are being killed or even bombed right now (depends entirely where they live), we're pointing out that civilians are being bombed indiscriminately by Russia, this is likely to vastly increase in the coming weeks (or months and years if this last that long), and anyone in a city should get out now if they possibly can. Putin will not give up, he will escalate as he has done in the past.

He destroyed an entire region of his own country (Chechnya) in order to save face. He views Ukraine as a rebellious region like Chechnya which must be put down by any means necessary.

The evidence is there, if you care to look. Frankly your distrust of social media is tending towards paranoia - civilians don't have the means or inclination to mass fake videos, I'd say most are valid reports. Yes videos will be mislabelled (e.g. wrong region) and repeated without question sometimes, but some of the evidence is very clear and very hard to fake.
Totally agree, that was a popular quote back when people weren't satisfied with the Copenhagen interpretation.
I've got a good counter example: Thwme wikipedia entry on Serrapeptidase is a disgrace. The talk page is very enlightening: a couple of "powerful" editors took the page and created a narrative they want to show. While lots of people are showing plenty of evidence around the web showing other points of view. The result is a very poorly informative wiki page that lacks a lot of the information that can be found in all web sites from the first page results of a Google search.
I mean this as a genuine question, but is your comment just to say that I was technically wrong to say I have “exactly zero” influence over Russian government policy, given unlikely butterfly effects exist?

Would you dispute that I have a tiny influence on all government policy, but I have orders of magnitude less over Russia compared to the US where I live? I covered responsibility also: do you agree that I am not responsible for Russian government actions (here I think exactly zero would be correct) but I have some responsibility for NATO actions, which are notionally done for my benefit?
Another way to put this, more pithily:

At a first approximation every great photo -- even every great live music photo -- has been taken with equipment less capable than that D3100.

> inexpensive

> in the $300-$400 range.

inexpensive, relatively speaking.

$300-$400 might be inexpensive for a microscope, but it's not inexpensive per se.
Chinese people are more likely to rage at the government if the economy goes bad. I don't know why that is considering the media is much more locked up than Russia's has been until now, but you can see local fury every once in a while where the government is forced to concede because of angry mobs
I’ve compared them side by side and they are not the same. Maybe it’s software but fonts are noticeably crisper on the iMac screen can the LG panels.
I highly doubt any of the content in this is ‘bad’ or misleading - most security people have a pretty good BS detector and it would spread pretty quickly in the community.

The worst thing might be a reference to an industry standard protocol, like IPSECv2, which is generally considered secure, but might be broken under certain conditions and only ever exploit under extreme circumstances (to avoid showing their hand).
So, this is time vs memory?
For the Russian side of things it's just their "the US is the source of all our problems" narrative. The accusation is stupid on its face as the US has done a great deal to try to stop nuclear proliferation. You can argue about its motivations but not its efficacy.
Are you assuming Bolivia = South America or do you have experience in other countries? I haven't been to Bolivia, but here in Chile (and other countries I've visited in South America) your statement isn't true.
When you're fighting an invasion of your country, its a bad time to quibble about the ideological purity of the other people on your side of the line.

It really is possible to find shared goals and cooperate on achieving them with people who do not totally agree with you. Once the immediate threat is addressed, those people might be the next item on the agenda; but this is "stand together or fall separately" territory.
What techniques are used to estimate trajectories? Would something like a Gaussian Process perform better?
Contrary to what used to be hammered into people, it must be observed by the observer, that is, by you. Any random interaction will not trigger the collapse. An interaction must itself be observed by the observer, otherwise it will not cause a collapse.

It seems that the universe works pretty much as Haskell does. Things that don't matter to anything else do not happen.
I was confused by this because that text doesn't appear in the article currently.

You should join some groups in viber/telegram of people that actually live there, and see for yourself.

The only small numbers are russian army that wants to take a 44 mil country with weapons, cities, etc by their demotivated 150k troops that don't have the slightest clue how to fight.
Is the work “writing code” or is it “solving problems for the business”? If it’s the latter, communicating with others in the organization and advocating for change in some direction (aka “politics”) is part of the work.
What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is very close to what Hitler did to Jews. The only difference is that they don't kill civilians in camps - camps do exist, the civilians are just killed through normal military operations. It is ironic that Jews, who suffered so much from the fascist regime, ended up straight showing up from all over the world to Palestine and claiming it as theirs, pushing most of the existing population out of the land and confining the others in specified areas - oh, and aggression towards the colonizers? It's called terrorism now, won't you know. And since some decades have passed, let bygones be bygones - the state of Israel has gained legitimacy through holding the land long enough.

Let's not forget Israel still bombs civilians and children.

How is THAT more justifiable than what Russia is doing, I wonder.
Invade foreign land you have no business invading? Check.
Drive much of the population away in the process? Check.
Confine the invaded populace in specified areas based on race? Russians have not done that yet in Ukraine, I acknowledge that. The first difference in the two conflicts that matters.
Kill whoever resists? Check.
Routinely bomb civilians? Check.

Does any other detail matter to not condemn the one and condemn the other? What could Russia learn from the Israeli case to make its invasion and occupation equally justifiable?
I'm not sure the outside big cities would make much difference given how these things spread. Lab worker gets it, goes home, partner flies to a conference etc.
My n=1 - At $Employer, we had a prospective vendor who insisted on payment via Zelle. Made a quick "what should we know about Zelle?" call to $Employer->Bank. After a few phone transfers, their expert told us to avoid Zelle if at all possible. Because for a legit business, that platform was very little better than traditional alternatives. Vs. for a fraudster, it was vastly superior. So if we considered P(vendor is crooked|vendor insists on Zelle), and did the math...

Oh - $Employer->Bank == 'JPMorgan Chase'.

Rust is the one Torvalds seems most interested in, and I suspect that's a deciding factor.

Zig might be the most direct upgrade from C, but it seems like rust can mostly replace the entire concept of portable assembly, since it has zero cost abstractions.

What I found interesting was unconditional acceptance of "we did happy result analysis because otherwise we get criticize as always, had we knew it will end with failed conquest we would totally make truthful analysis to save Russia". Totally.
Dunning & Kruger had some choice words (backed by research) on the topic, too.
(Poster here)

Agreed. Perhaps what differentiate those from "normal" mocks is:

1) They only apply to "infrastructure" (so databases, external services etc). Basically the article says: "It's okay to use mocks sparingly, to avoid costly and flaky tests involving external services".

2) They are defined along with the production code, and _tested accordingly_. Which I assume means that you test the "null implementations"/"infrastructure mocks" by making sure they are always aligned with the real interactions. This avoids the danger of "normal mocks" to diverge from the real interactions.

What I would like to understand better, instead, is if there is a way to avoid all of this system to break once the infrastructure is two layers below the code you're testing. Because you can inject a null implementation into ApplicationClass, but what you have a UpperApplicationClass which depends on ApplicationClass? You either have to unravel the dependencies yourself to inject NullImplementation inside ApplicationClass inside UpperApplicationClass (which defies the point of the article, in a way), or you have to resort to a DI framework, which I personally abhor (I've still to find a single case in which it is a net benefit and not just a magic way of obfuscating the code).
What I see here is people (not you, but those I respond to) saying two things: (A) Ukraine must win and (B) Europe won’t help.

I love Ukraine and I want it to exist as an independent democratic country, yet I can’t help but think whoever says both (A) and (B) has probably evacuated all friends and family (if they were ever in Ukraine) and has no regard for the rest. Meanwhile, I have people there, and if we go the A + B route it is likely to drag on for weeks meaning I may lose them—not to genocide or mass murder, which from what I personally know so far strikes me as blatantly made-up propaganda, but to stray ordnance (I pray bombings don’t commence) and most importantly food shortages about to turn into literal hunger.

To those people I say: if you can make (A) happen, make it happen; otherwise do everyone a favor, stop armchair-urging people to die and focus on diplomacy.
I could see it argued that in $CurrentYear, any information oriented company that doesn't put InfoSec as their #1 priority, is just asking to be pwned. It's not an if, but a when and to what extent.

specially trained can accomplish the task of tracking a moving object. according to the theories of image recognition and geolocation. embed that software on a swarm of satellites and voilà. add to that any other kind of metadata (heat, size, height, video, image, speed...).

I think the existing HN guidelines / norms should be sufficient for maintaining civil and constructive discussion. A lot of times public policy is directly relevant to technical topics, and who’s going to be the arbiter between legitimate political discourse and unacceptable (to whom?) politics?

FWIW, "inside bread" is called "crumb."
Aside from being right on almost every issue, and the actual politicians and think tanks shown demonstably and disastrously wrong (in the US propping up Saddam and Laden in the 80s, in the story of Iraq's WMDs, in the disastrous case of Afghanistan, and elsewhere), what exactly is his "poor track record"?
Creating a long fake is riskier than a short fake. Making mistakes is a risk, and so the more content the more risk.

As for the “reality” of working as an analyst in FSB it seems pretty accurate. Even if not true, it carries a certain truth.

The general analysis is consistent with what most people I’ve spoken with think. Russia is in a bad spot. They need to turn the narrative on Ukraine (one idea we thought of was a dirty bomb from waste)… I don’t think the content can prove it is authentic or not. Maybe when the author is found an punished we’ll hear about it.

The intelligence war has been amazing. The early game of leaking operational plans was incredible. To say “we have so much access we can burn it with abandon” is a huge flex.

The real time intelligence enabling the Ukrainians to respond precisely has also been incredible. From OSINT analysis to the OSINT crowd sourced collection using geolocation tagged videos and photos. Truly a new operational environment for an army to fight in.

Then all the perception management. Truly remarkable achievement. This will be in the textbooks as a case study, if… you know, we make to a point where we still have textbooks
So he was a patriot after all?

All jokes aside, in that book there is the quote:

"All art is propaganda; on the other hand, not all propaganda is art."

>>Can't have the sales guy invent functionality out of thin air without a call.

I wonder if this means that learning useless information is extra counterproductive in that it may make it difficult to learn other things because you’ve pruned some neutral connections?

Format via extension is definitely more convenient for debugging though, and there's cases where you want to allow direct browser navigation to a particular format in which case you won't be capable of modifying the Accept header (one I use pretty often is sending users to a .csv version of a page to download the contents.
The Nazi problem in Croatia definitely fits what the article is describing as found in Ukraine. In the US however, it's hardly comparable or the same thing and the Guardian article has been debunked to death (As the orange man already condemned them years ago which that was cut out by the media).

So this is half whataboutism.
ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) acknowledged years ago that 'Poland 'helped in CIA rendition', European court rules' (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28460628).
Violating a country’s sovereignty by sending in soldiers to overthrow its government is an act that must be condemned and punished by the international community, especially because allowing countries to get away with this kind of aggression will end up legitimizing expansionism and encouraging more of it.

Let's not mention those countries involved in assaults on Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Yemen, Lebanon and others though, will we?

As somebody once said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Such hypocrisy. But that's our usual way of life.
> Enterprises are not price conscious

Enterprises have to account for what they spend money on. They can either do that as part of an existing budget, or they can carve out a brand new budget. The latter is always harder than the former. If your price point fits neatly into a tiny gap they have left in their existing budget, things will be easier. OTOH if they have to carve out new budget, but they have an engineering department and there is a "free self-hosted" alternative, they will almost always go for that instead.

> 3. Purchasing Agent Sends Out Questions

There is often a very large and annoying process around this step that is much larger than purchasing, which is vetting a new vendor and product. Any Enterprise that has to deal with regulatory compliance or international laws will need to look for problems in the vendor or their product. This is a time-consuming and expensive process. If you are courting an Enterprise, do everything in your power to find out what their concerns are and make a 1-pager that explains them all, and separately a massive tome that details every answer. You'll want to cover all the questions Legal might have, address regulations, and enumerate exactly who has access to what part of a system['s data] and when and how.

If you really want to catch big fish, also detail every aspect of your different payment and operational models, even if you don't include the actual price. The price doesn't matter as much as knowing how the thing will function and what its limits are.

If you design your system to work a certain way for Enterprise, be prepared to change how it works for a whale customer. Always have in the back of your mind "I may need to fork this whole thing just for Customer X". Get the sale, worry about tech debt later. Anyone working in your company will hate that, but the ability to work around one detail or another can result in millions of dollars in sales.

Also, help craft their strategy for rolling out the solution thought the Enterprise rather than just for one team. Design a management portal that works at an Org level and can delegate access down a hierarchy of teams, and enable SSO using standards that Enterprises use. They may be much more inclined to purchase a big fat plan for their entire org rather than for just one team.
