This is horrific, and we absolutely should not be escalating this situation.

Putin’s invasion is absolutely immoral, and I am horrified by the destruction we have witnessed.

Now my fear is that we are sleepwalking into a nuclear war. We must stop this madness before it kills us all.
You have a weird way to tell history. People behind the iron curtain had no way to go to the west, and everybody wanted to. That is why they closed the borders.

When all young ambitious people leave, your country goes even more to shit than the shit it's already in. Of course they block the borders!
'Wanted: Dead or Alive': Russian Tycoon Puts $1M Bounty on Putin's Head
The idea that proof of stake cannot be regarded as a consensus mechanism is nonsense. The weak subjectivity model (where if you're just coming online or have been offline for a while, you need to get a recent block hash from elsewhere) is completely fine in practice. Trying to make a big deal out of it is the domain of either BTC maxis or reflexively anti-crypto people.

There is such a thing as a security model that is too strong and can be weakened without practical consequences, and (strong) subjectivity is a good example of that.
The US has it too, it's called «civil forfeiture»!
> I've also flagged this thread because it's clearly political and pointless discussing this on HN.

This is political like the choice of technology is political. I.e. everything is political.

This is meat hook reality blasting apart comrades of ours on both sides.

This is not a debate about whether Putin should be impeached for hanging out with Aslan Usoyan.
I know at least as many articles saying the opposite. I consume news from at least 4 countries, and I see some countries are more leaning toward one direction. I suggest you widen your news intake then.
It has some annoying misfeatures. Closely related types aren't treated as the same and you can't put multiple related types in a _Generic association list. You're forced to resort to explicit casts or call the type specific function directly which subverts the intended magic of using _Generic in the first place.
I had the same takeaway from this movie as you did, thought indeed it has been a while since I've seen it as well. Seems quite unlikely that Everything is Awesome was simply meant as a catchy children's song.

Here is my proposal:
Let People Claim On An Open Immutable Registry. Then We Can Make The Static ‘Trusted By Companies’ More Dynamic And Verifiable.

The Product or Service user 'Pings the Slab (i.e. A Product or Service)' on an open public registry at regular/irregular time interval. Interval can be anything e.g. If the user is still using a specific Product or Service after 8 months, he/she simply Pings the Slab after 8 months.
I feel like bringing David Marr's "levels of analysis" into the discussion is useful here, at least in very loose terms.

Roughly, you're talking at the 'computational level' or perhaps above. You're describing qualities of the computation that an agent must be doing. You don't descend to the algorithmic level, which is where the 'universality theorem' discussion is taking place. Which is not to say that any of what you've said is wrong, but to someone like the parent asking "_how_ you get from the biological system to intelligence though" (emphasis mine), I think it's basically a non-answer.
I think Putin's watch collection is estimated to be worth around 700,000 dollars, which is quite a lot more than his annual wage of around 120,000 dollars (well, his salary is probably worth a lot less in dollars now).
As one can see from comments on HN, it bothers some website developers when these basic tactics are openly discussed. The user gets no choice over whether her data is shared, or with whom it is shared. The expectation appears to be that no one will ever complain, whether for the first time or on a consistent basis. Perhaps there is a belief that if a certain amount of time passes without any complaints, this signifies a common "ad tech" practice is acceptable to the general population, and passes any sort of ethical, regulatory or legal analysis. A sort of "waiver". Silence equals acceptance.

"Everyone else was doing it, so therefore we in particular are not guilty of any wrongdoing." Perhaps some folks think that is a good defense.
That’s pretty cool. I have used pt-online-schema-change on a few occasions in the past on mariadb and it worked great.
I think this falls squarely into daydreaming about how to stop a home invasion territory.
I'm one of these persons with no formal training in any scientific fields. I don't think any of what you assume people like me think in your stereotype. I know it's not magic, it's brute force problem solving. Once you are capable of training systems like this, you get to solutions which are really powerful.

All you see is numbers and functions, and all I see is problems being solved by these AI/ML methods and often in quantifiably better ways than intelligent humans can.

NN-s are the building blocks. Neurons in your brain are dumb as well, it's the quality of the network that matters. So instead of moving goalposts, what do you think is required to implement intelligence?
It probably isn't quite what you are looking for, but have you ever tried Syncthing? It doesn't have enough features to be an actual backup solution, but it is nice if you just want another copy of your files somewhere else

Accidental slip with regional powers splitting instead of fighting to lead the corpse of Russia. Like Chechnya which is there only until Putin sends huge money there, and there is no more money. Or Far East falling in gravitational pull of China without money and power from Moscow.
I got fired from one job after my manager told me to fake results and I didn't. I went into a job interview a few days later and I summed it up as "they were asking me to do things with the data I wasn't comfortable with."

I think it really is complete agony for some people, and when I've seen it in practise, certain people really benefit and others just don't.

Speaking for myself, when I'm working on something complex and detail-sensitive, the very last thing I want to do is spend any time at all with anyone else. I want to be able to think properly about the problem without the pressure of having someone else involved.

Well , for an open source alternative in the form-builder world, there is this one: https://formpress.org/

It's more of an "early access" kind of product for now. However it is highly promising.

The builder app is pretty smooth, the interface is simple.

The primary focus is more on functionality and speed, rather than visual depth and complexity.

The app is open source and can be self-hosted.
The problem is, many open-source maintainers DO provide free support, so people come to expect it. Some even get confused and angry when they meet a maintainer who does not.
Because people struggle to remember even one PIN, especially if it's needed infrequently or in a stressful situation. I'm not being snarky here, it's happened to me. Could not remember my one, main PIN on one particularly stressful day. Went home, slept, and no problem the next day.

So remembering a PIN that most people will never need to use in a stressful situation? Unlikely to be useful for the majority of people.
Doesn't surprise me at all.

My dad's wife hated me, so I got kicked out at 15. Didn't stop my Dad from showing up at school and my job to threaten me.

The joys of adulthood, I deal with my horrible family when I want to. If you gave a bad family, it's imperative you estrange yourself.

In my 20s I made the mistake of trusting these disgusting people. Of course they lied to my face, stabbed me in the back, and asked me to co-sign a home loan afterwards. So my credit stays locked.

Trust is a luxury I can't afford.

Also, many step parents end up treating those kids like shit. If your not going to treat your step kids fairly, since you don't want to do it, don't date a single parent.

You have a bit of a catch-22, anyone mature enough to become a step parent will understand how much of responsibility it is. Thus, they'll be reluctant to do it.

Someone who lacks that maturity, will be much more eager to become a step parent as a condition of a new relationship.

I know I can't guarantee I'll be a good step parent. It's just an insanely hard thing to do, which takes a person stronger than myself.

So I don't date people with kids. I'd sooner die alone than put someone else though what I went though.

Does rephrasing it to "animal war crimes" make it any better?
Worth noting that this approach uses the external tool technique, which makes a copy of the table with triggers.

MySQL and MariaDB both support native online DDL, which makes alter statements non-blocking and zero downtime in most cases, in even in-place (no whole table data copy) in some cases.

pt-online-schema-change is still useful when you want control on when the tables are swapped over.

This is it and is how the online advertising industry has worked for over 25 years.

In its simplest form the pixel is used to attribute an ad view/click to a conversion event. At the beginning of the online ad industry that’s all it did, advertisers for the first time had the ability to directly, in real time, see the effectiveness of their ads. The economic value and GDP generated due to this innovation is immeasurable, the internet economy is literally built on it.

At the beginning there was no profile building, combining with PII and data gathered from social media or even your gmail emails (yes the content of your emails). And it was magical!

It’s the innovations since that have moved the entire industry through a grey area into the blank where the way they operate is questionable at best.

The point is, this tracking pixel on its own is incredible what it unlocks. It’s the way that data is then used that we have to call into question.

Personally the simplest form of attribution to me is fine. It works and I don’t believe it’s invasive if they aren’t then combining it with pii and profile data. Sadly that time has passed and all advertising networks now rely so heavily of ML/AI that it’s impossible to manage them, as an advertiser, in the way you used to. Hopefully regulation will push the industry back to where it was.
Why would they be able to arrest them? Have you ever seen riots where people throw rocks at the police? For 10 years in jail, you better make sure you give them a reason for 10 years.

When you see those Russian protesters, they are all so compliant it blows my mind.

Throw rocks and get the fuck out. It ain't a crime if you don't get caught.

>Even as a kid, if you can't afford $10 a month, you're doing something wrong.

As a kid I didn't pay for stuff mostly because it didn't have a payment method that I'd be able to use

I used premium SMS (which were something like 3 times more expensive than direct transfer)

and later I used paysafe cards that you could purchase in local shops or I started using "forms" and sending them via post office or bank branches IIRC
Yes, multiple things are bad.

We shouldn't do that for people that aren't much of a flight risk.
I do inbox zero for many years now and almost get an aneurysma when I see how some people use their inbox.

I filter emails like the article suggests, just a bit more detail.

Newsletter, notification, and work are my main tags.

Then I have some specials like tax office, banks, crypto, academia, etc.

Most of it gets archived right when it arrives.

At bussy times, I have like 20 mails in my inbox for 1-2 days, but most of the time my inbox is empty or had under 5 mails.

I also treat these mails as tasks. Everything in my inbox needs to be tended to, and when it's done I send a reply or archive it.

Works like a charm for over a decade now.

It's about rate of change, not age.

Also about design of the ecosystem in general.

In JVM land almost all code is implemented in managed code. This means the likelihood of severe (runtime degrading) bugs is greatly reduced.
It also means in practice you can just step into any arbitrary library code using an interactive debugger to fully follow the flow of execution.

Contrast that to Python where every library worth using is actually written in C against the CPython interpreter itself. This means a few things:
Broadly speaking you have just extended the exposure of the core runtime by the amount of code you have loaded in native extensions, meaning more bugs, more severe vulnerabilities and generally a bad day.

It also means that code is "invisible" to the runtime. Python has pretty poor tooling anyway but what little tooling is has becomes useless once your problems venture into C extensions and you end up having to drop down into GDB to work out what is going on. This is made harder by the fact that Python doesn't really play that nicely vith the Valgrind toolkit in my experience making use after free/leaks/etc and other nasty bugs harder to debug than straight C code.

Finally it also means you can't just pick up and move your Python code to a different runtime despite them being available. Unlike Java which will mostly run just fine on Hotspot or J9/other proprietary JVM your Python code is actually now CPython code. In practice I guess this isn't a big deal but it's worth mentioning.

TLDR: Python is old, Java is stable. There is a difference.

> Russia for its survival will have to find one way or other to survive the visa mc shutdown

the “shutdown” is only for payments outside of Russia using Russian cards and internal payments using foreign card. local Russian Visa and Mastercard still work inside of Russia as all their payments go through a local organisation and thus are not impacted. many countries did this in order to protect their payment systems.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to be honest

If they're acting so antagonistically against GDPR maybe , for some of the most egregious cases, throwing some people in jail will do the trick

Support for plus addressing mainly depends on the online service you're signing up with. Your mail provider almost certainly supports it; their business is email. But many webservers have idiosyncratic notions about how to validate an email address (they could be using any damn library, and their business isn't handling email).

Most websites seem to accept plus addressing. But I haven't encountered an online banking service, for example, that accepts plus addressing.

Incidentally, it doesn't have to be a plus sign; other symbols can be used.
The lab is only 27 km from the wet market along two main arteries. How about the idea a compromised lab worker went to the wet market on the way home, or for a prepared lunch and it spread to the general population that way?
Companies that go under don't take their products down with them though, that's a common misunderstanding. If there are paying customers, someone will buy the company's assets and support contracts.
The problem is that you are trying to understand them from an explanation, when the correct method is to code with them and feel them and get used to them.

The programming world is filled with concepts that beginners find extremely difficult to comprehend from explanations:

- pointers
- closures
- recursion

Monads are no more difficult to grasp than any of these concepts (but no one would ever claim that it will be "hard to hire devs that understand closures...")
Cost will be lower with your own design because you'll integrate other components on the same board. It needs power, probably battery backup too. It needs to control some coil of electromagnetic lock. Access control is more than just flashing LEDs.

I think there's an important point being missed here. The 'trusted by' is and always will be utter bullshit. It's not aiming to be accurate, it is meant to be another piece of marketing on the landing page, along with dozens of the other buzzwords, quotes, and unrelated fluff. The point is to advertise to you and hook you to try the product, get that foot in the door and embed themselves in your systems.

So, from what I'm observing and understanding from that observation (and correct me if I'm wrong), no product showcase page has any incentive to be accurate in this regard; they will say it's trusted by X even if X used it 10 years ago and no longer exists. The 'trusted by' companies don't have an incentive to keep this list accurate either, to them it's just another product, and why maintain a cron job that provides no returns to them.
I think the only safe way is to completely power off the device, or even better not to place it in a location where you want it to be detected at. For example do not carry it.

But you still have to test the actual functionality, don't you? What if the author makes a gif of clicking a button, but doesn't record if the browser back button still works?

I'd think that for frontend, you'd have CI/CD pipeline that deploys the code into a staging server, where I can test it myself.
Do people have automated tests to validate their SMSs are sent correctly (and received by a real phone)? Or that credit card payments are made correctly? These are things I use third party libraries for, and what I worry might break when I upgrade dependency versions.

Yes, sure, in a democratic country it's absolutely impossible that a person reporting things that disagree with the official govt line may spend even a single day in prison.

I was wondering why this wasn't working for me. Looking through my settings in Firefox, I finally narrowed it down to Privacy and Security -> History. I have it set to "use custom settings" (clear history on exit, everything else unchecked), but presumably "never remember history" would also work.

no in this case i think this post has everything to do with OP believing that this pixel tracking by a non-American/non-Western firm (in this case Chinese) is somehow less kosher compared to tracking by Silicon Valley social media platforms/firms (who, as others have pointed out, use exactly the same tools/strategies).

Whether a product can compete with piracy is also context-dependent.

$10 is a paltry sum in the US. But it is really high in third world countries.

$10 can give you one healthy meal each day for half a month in suburban Indian subcontinent. The price in rural areas is lesser.

Some companies get purchase power parity and can reflect it in their pricing, and some companies either can't or don't want to do this. Some companies don't even get it.

I know of Spotify Premium modded APKs being super famous in Eastern Europe, LatAm, and South Asia. I have no hard data, but people are so annoyed with Spotify ads, and as the price is too high for them, many choose to pirate the app instead.

Carrying devices across a border gives the Nation State Actors both physical access to your machine and a legal basis to mess with it - either by searching the device for secrets or by installing malware onto it. Some countries are better at this than others. I wouldn't bother doing this if I was just going from, say, the US to Canada[0]. However, China is notorious for messing with any Android[1] phones that cross their borders. Depending on what countries your company trades with, this policy might make sense.

In contrast, bulk shipments of imported devices are not usually tampered with in the same way[2]. Some countries do have similar restrictions on data import, but they can't mess with or spy on that data because you actually have end-to-end encryption in that case.

[0] I have heard reports of immigration officers demanding device passwords in such a case, but it's rare. If you're really paranoid, enough to want to do this when crossing US borders, I should point out that you should never live within 100 miles of them. Anything 100 miles or closer to a US border gives the US government power to demand your papers; furthermore, the people in border control treat this as a blank check to search for anything they want.
