I talked with friends in Moscow at the beginning of 2020. They said there were simply no good alternatives to IKEA. There were reasonable furniture from Belarus if one looked for things made from whole wood, but then one still may need to hire somebody to fix/adjust it due to quality control issues. Plus there were small Russian companies, but their stuff while good was expensive. Things that were produced by bigger Russian companies that were supposed to give alternative to IKEA, were really of low quality.
That's a smart take I have not fully thought through.

Beyond just economically, perhaps potential big gains politically by using money & leverage to become the controlling mother that Russia is to Belarus, making russia the dependent & ruled child.
Go visit the homepage of this newspaper. It's crazy, there's no clear reference to war or attacks. This article on Ikea is just an attempt to tell the desperation without breaking the censorship law.
> Their first offer was 5%-10% equity without the title of a co-founder. ...I would not be taking a paycheck.

They made known what they want. They want an employee, not a co-founder. Employee is fine, but they get paid $$$.

They want to have it both ways in their favor, at your expense.
This probably refers to GPS jamming.
Btw calls against the war, spreading non-official information about war (and even calling it 'war') are now criminalised in Russia, up to 15 years in prison.

Think of the support Russians have for this 'special operation'.
It's a thought-extinguishing tactic. It attempts to redirect or scatter attention away from the topic at hand. This could be in a misguided sincere attempt to draw analogies, or could be more nefarious. Whataboutism seems to commonly occur when some agent of power is being criticized.

I'm surprised you found the post, but I'm glad you did. It took a bit of effort to get the whole thing down in 1 page.

For context, I admittedly come across as jaded towards some sub-sections of american liberal folk in that comment. That part takes away from what I consider an otherwise neutral comment. It's just that the combination of "genuine worry + half knowledge + talking down to you" reminds me of school hall monitors, which triggers my defensiveness.

One of my favorite comments about India is : "The only thing every Indian can agree on is that no one fully understands India.". So, I'll add that caveat as an Indian myself.

When I ran a torrent tracker for TV shows I was pushing $1m+ a year through PayPal. I had my own personal account rep, etc. They didn't give a fuck about the pirated material.

My competitor though, they would email PayPal every week telling them we were selling child porn. It would take PayPal no time to lock our account while they logged into the tracker and looked around to check it was still only TV shows. We'd be out of revenue for a few days each time.

That trick is absolutely the quickest way to destroy any online business.
I (an American teen) also ate there in April 1990, with partially overlapping observations. The food was higher quality than anything else I ate during a week in Moscow, but it struck me as pretty standard McDonald's fare. As for the line, it was very long, but moved in fast spurts. Customers were admitted in waves and it was the most efficient retail orchestration I'd ever seen. There was some magical blend of Soviet queuing efficiency and fast food efficiency going on that left a deep impression.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone developed a jammer for starlink. Given the signal levels and the relative receptivity their antenna has to signals coming from the sides (a common problem I'm told of phased arrays where the array edges are not benefiting from antennas on one side) one could presumably just barrage jam at the downlink frequencies. Of course you would either need to be really 'loud' or pretty close to do that.

I also felt it kind of a dick move to "brag" about giving Ukraine Starlink terminals on social media as it informs your adversaries that you have another channel they have to go out and shut down. Much better (in my opinion of course) to keep it as discreet as possible so that opponents are guessing.
The WebSDR station of Uni Twente always amazes me for it's good reception. Must have to do with their antenna placement. Details on the page: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

>> The people of Ukraine have overturned a fraudulent election, overthrown a president who betrayed his commitment to his people, and are now fighting tooth and nail to defend their country. But it's all 'just' power politics?

I'm not a fan of Mearsheimer here (he was wrong on whether Russia would go to war for one thing; for another, he extrapolates way too far in ascribing motives to Putin/Russia that he doesn't have evidence for) and I think states are generally security maximizing and not power maximizing.

But Mearsheimer's book title of "The Tragedy of Great Power politics" is apt. Because the tragedy is that states have different interests than the well being of the people that live in them. I don't think pointing that out is immoral, quite the opposite; hard truths are still truths.
I think OP understands this and their comment was a joke.

> done correctly

Big assumption. This is what the whole discussion is about. Doing "correctly" an SPA is incredibly expensive.

I can also assure you that when an MVC application is done correctly you can have an equally good user experience.

> The server rendered app will ALWAYS have to wait at least 1xRTT for every new render. The SPA does not.

This is an outdated idea of how server rendered apps work. See Unpoly, HTMX, LiveWire, Hotwire, etc.

I'm personally using Livewire. I make server request in only 2 situations. 1) When going to different pages (I'd need that anyway with an SPA given I need "SSR") and 2) When I'd need to write or read data from the server, which with an SPA would mean I need an API call anyway. Every other interaction is done with Alpine, 100% client side.

Ahem, that's the caricature simplified version of democracy you see used a lot by Western capitalist think tanks meant to discourage people from democracy.

Protections of minorities are by most republics understood to be integral to a healthy democracy. Not simple rule by majority. That's why most voting systems are not FPTP.
In addition Whataboutism never tries to deliver an argument in favour of your position, only arguments against other positions.
This works great as long as it is not a first visitor though. For new visitors with a spotty connection this will be a nightmare. Also I assume any new update you release which might need to refresh the cache would also be a problem in this situation. I don't think it's that easy. Not saying that you're not doing it right, just that it is not a trivial thing and almost everyone else won't do this right.
Yes, civilian housing is being deliberately hit with shells, thermobaric bombs and cluster bombs. There are no military targets nearby. This is a campaign of terror similar to Aleppo and Grozny and the end state of cities will be the same.
> Ukraine was pretty much always at least partially owned by russia. One of the first centralized slavic states were the kieven rus.

This is wrong on so many levels :)

In times of Kievan Rus Moscow was a far province of forests and marches. Kyiv was the capital.

What you're saying basically: "Italy (Ukraine) was always owned by France (Russia) because Roman Empire (Kievan Rus) was the first centralized state there".

If you insist on applying modern names to historical states it was the other way around - Ukraine "owned" Russia back then.

Also for a few centuries Ukraine was owned by Mongols, Lithuanians and Poles. And Russia was only starting to exist (and wasn't called Russia at first - just Muscovy). But that's besides the point.

They were told to censor or be sued. They removed any postings of war after that. Novaya Gazeta is a newspaper critical of current Russian affairs.
Indeed. What I would give for a mind meld, some sense of mind.

I've had contracts like that renew for years with little work most months because a client just wanted to know I was incentivised to be available when they suddenly needed me.
Thing is that PPP is only for basic stuff (food, energy), and not tech stuff. A phone in Russia is not cheaper, and in fact all the imported goods are not cheaper.

People have been protesting against various things in Russia for 11 years now and they're in full understanding that "it does not work that way".

But for the people who thought the tradegy has started unexpectedly on Feb 24th, there's a perspective that the tragedy is ongoing. It was merely renewed for a new season.
I was also surprised by this. I find it absolutely crazy. The reason is that just few days ago the parliament of Russia introduced a law on "fakes about Russian army" with 15 years in prison penalty. What is "fake" is not defined so anyone for any statement about the war could be put in prison. Ah yes, people are also forbidden to call this a war, an agression or an invasion. You may say that there are other outlets of information, but no, all critical to Russian government newspapers, radio stations, tv channels were recently closed. Facebook, BBC, DW, YouTube blocked. The best analogy to what is going on there would be: a frog slowly boiling in a pan.

No offence, but for you to see zero parallels between the contract enforcement that decentralized blockchain-based networks conduct, and the function of traditional legal systems, suggests to me you would benefit from taking your own advice.

No offence.

I do not program in Go.

Every non-tiny place I have worked finds it necessary to copy known working versions of code they rely on, to an internal server and build from there. You don't have reproducible builds, for example, from a remote sever (maybe there are hashes?). But even then you don't have reliable access to external servers (they may crash, be bought, be hacked, change business models). So people self-host what they use.

Can you do this in Go, without changing source code?

========================================================

Not related to above, your 2) reminds me of my pet peeve: doc dependencies included in module dependencies. Oh, you use Sphinx, we'll install that. Oh, Sphinx needs Python, we'll install that. Try to use a simple, non-Python, library, get Python and all it's dependencies.

Dependency explosion is a real, really bad thing.
Apparently, yeah, but we don’t have that indicator in Japan (as far as I know).

Sort of like keeping someone on retainer.
That's a terrible purpose, and SemVer does no such thing. There are approximately 0 large libraries that actually offer SemVer style guarantees. For example, the Go stdlib itself is definitely not using SemVer, as it often introduces breaking changes between minor versions.

The only thing loose dependencies and automatic version resolution and duplicating libraries achieve is a false sense of security when upgrading code. And the only thing Go's awful, awful idea to force v2+ to change import path is to make a mess in your version control history, and hide the important bits in a sea of needlessly changed files.
Don't read the news it's bad for your health.
Behind the scenes mailprocessing basically works by executing your Python configuration file with some injected globals to make processing easier, so you can apply any hacks you feel like to workaround breakages in the incoming mail.

In the specific case of Arabic characters in headers, you can see from the source¹ that when decoding fails an error is logged but you're still able to work on that header. How much work you're willing to put in to recover from that error by guessing charsets(perhaps via chardet²) is up to you.

The level of customisation that is possible is my favourite feature of this type of software. You can start with a config that is just a couple of lines, but it grows with you with no artificial ceiling imposed by the software author's imagination.

Not for long potentially. I don't have the link right now, but someone posted an interesting thread on Twitter how to fly planes you need a lot of international support. Down to things like supply of replacement parts and access to repair manuals. Their estimate (not sure if accurate) is that in 3 weeks, domestic aviation in Russia will become very hard to run.

(Boing and Airbus already suspended providing replacement parts)

What's also not conform, with a whole slew of national laws, is violently overthrowing a democratically elected government, as it happened in Kyiv 2014.

SDR maybe useful if you already got a bunker to host and power the equipment needed. But if you already got a bunker, why not install a more powerful station?

Realistically, you probably want to have something mobile and not power-consuming, plus a solar panel (or any kind of generator). So maybe a set of LoRa device and/or goTenna, HAM radio + backup batteries, and AM/FM radios.

Or maybe just HAM radio + backup batteries.

I think I might just reignited my desire for a HAM radio license...just kidding, I'm living in a small city of 3KM radius, I'm will not survive the fireball if a nuke decided to hit us. So good luck for you, I guess.
