Ghost of Kyiv fights a war in the Russian minds. Consider the legend of Juba, the Iraqi sniper who killed many US soldiers swiftly and suddenly. Hard to do anything out there without wondering if Juba has you in his sights. Similarly, you could be flying along on a routine Russian recon mission and without warning get blown away by the Ghost of Kyiv.
Hey, coinbase is still operating there! Haven't Putin's mob cronies already started moving their businesses to bitcoin?

I think you're confusing the NSA with CISA. CISA is to my knowledge entirely defensive, and the biggest leaks of hacking tools to which I suspect you're referring came from the NSA (and CIA IIRC, but more famously NSA).

Unless the "same organization" is the USG, and you're casually assuming all of its left and right tentacles know what the others are doing, in which case I'd say you're laughably optimistic about its competence.
Usually this is because the product was rushed out of the circuit board factory in China months ago with very barebones firmware.

At the time this firmware was made, they probably hadn't even built the convection roast mode.

It needs WiFi to update the firmware to one which hopefully does perform as promised. After that you can probably disconnect the WiFi again.

> I had to ask you not to post comments to HN advocating the horror of collective punishment

Except the 'punishment' I 'advocate' is pretty mild considering the other side in both cases was/are literally killing civilians. I've never been in favour of innocent people being killed. Just hopeful that people who enable atrocities through silence could maybe speak up. If me saying Russians should have to 'stay in Russia' (a country which isn't being invaded) is advocating for some sort of horrible collective punishment, that says something...

You're right though, I should probably ignore obvious (Russian) trolls. Or just avoid social media while a war affecting my mother's country is happening. Also the largest democratic country ever invaded (just saying).

I'll probably just avoid heated topics or this site altogether for awhile (or you can ban). Interacting with those who come up with excuses to justify Ukrainians being killed by an invading power isn't good for my mental health, that's for sure.
Putin apparently considered joining NATO around 2000. It is hard to argue one definitive beginning outside of a narrow sense.

Doing the opposite of how you ensure their non-neutrality as another country.

Don't use them as pawns against Russia, don't get them into NATO, and have Russia sign and respect that - and ensure their borders from Russia and everybody else, fighting for them if necessary (not merely with hypocritical sanctions and condemnations after you've sacrificed them).
It’s very similar to the Iraq war, the rhetoric “if you’re not with us you’re against us.” “if you’re not against Putin you’re pro Putin”. World wide negative sentiment against Russian people is amplified. Similar to 1914 with Germans with many anglicizing their names. It’s not like Putin respects votes.

The Salem Witch trials were very recent; witches and fun drugs go much further back, as documented in Renaissance medical literature on "flying ointment" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_ointment for a pretty decent overview, albeit for some reason excluding medical texts and concentrating on esoteric and legal texts). It's a lipid-based ointment with some sort of drug, applied to the temples, causing either hallucinations or at least a "rushing" feeling and high accompanied by catatonia, as if the soul were flying around having left the body. It seems to have been used by women who were bored and wanted to feel like they were flying.

From a fruedian perspective a wand and a tower can both represent a penis. Also a witch's broom.

TV tropes cites two references to this in Terry Pratchett Discworld novels in the Freud Was Right article:

"Going Postal: As she looks over Moist's ideas for stamp pictures, Adora Belle Dearheart notes that the stamp with the highest value has a picture of the Tower of Art at Unseen University — the tallest building in the city.

Adora: Oh, the Tower of Art... How like a man.

Lords and Ladies: Naggy Ogg tells Casanunda "Magrat says a broomstick is one of them sexual metaphor things." (Footnote: Although this is a phallusy.)"
The article you link is written by Alexander Rubinstein - a former RT and Sputnik employee.

He is a strong denier of Russian interference in the 2016 election, has been vocal in his support for Assad, and denied, not only China's genocide on Uyghurs, but that the Uyghur population even exists.

There's an article on The Gray Zone by the center for right wing analysis here https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2020/09/25/1-6-2/

Browsing through Alex Rubinstein's Twitter it's clear that his argument basically boils down to "the west has done shitty things, so they're not allowed to say that Putin is bad for invading Ukraine"

This article is not meant to convince anyone that Putin is the good guy. It's meant to make readers doubt whether they're supporting Nazis by supporting sanctions as response to Putin's invasion - shifting the focus from the fact that Putin is indiscriminately bombing civilians.

It's perfect execution of the alt-right propaganda playbook - meant to induce apathy, because that's all that is needed for Putin to succeed with his imperialistic dreams.

This is bloodthirst? This is disregard for innocent children?

I must have the wrong dictionary.

[edit:as far as being simply “anti-Russian”, perhaps this qualifies. I can see how it might be concerning and even foreboding. And we should keep an eye on it. But i think it’s a stretch to call it anti-Russian. At this point, it’s really just anti-war and equivalent to communal shaming and shunning. I doubt many poor Russians will be hurt by the cat/vodka ban. And they certainly wont care that a likely-wealthy Putin supporter must now look for another job.]

Now that I set it up, how do I know if it's doing anything? The logs show it bootstraped up to 100% then figured out my IP, and the last line says

Glancing at my router doesn't show any appreciable uptick in traffic. I see a brief spike that hit ~10% of my bandwidth, then it went back down to near zero usage. (I have a static IP and a decently fast symmetric internet connection, fwiw.)
Good point.

However, in case that two versions are so incompatible that both sides of communication channel need to update, then I think it's fair to place responsibility on the service writers to notify their users (through deprecation warnings, documentation, chat, etc.) of the change.

I've been a web developer for just over a decade now. Lately, I've been rather amused at how much more elementary my websites are today compared to, say, 5 years ago. I went through all the MVW frameworks, the gulp builds, the MEAN stack, 100% JavaScript SPAs, Typescript, etc, until eventually finding myself back where I started: static HTML page, a lite CSS framework, and almost no JavaScript.

My development is faster than ever, my web pages are faster than ever, and I can spend more time making sure the website delivers information effectively than worrying about gluing a million disparate frameworks together.
> but what's happening in Russia as a result of sanctions is quite tragic in itself.

No, it's not. Your actions have consequences. Russia has been attacking neighboring countries and taking parts of their territories.

Moldova 1992.

Chechnya 2000-2009.

Georgia in 1992 and 2008.

Ukraine in 2014.

They are using the standard scheme of "oh, this part of your country decided to become independent, we will flood it with our troops and defend them, and then install russian puppets to rule over it".

Enough is enough. Russia needs to understand that this will not fly. You lose your job? Cry me a river. Look what you did to Ukrainian cities.

A better analogy for a Twitch streamer would be someone performing an already-written play or piece of music.

The comparison was indeed about propaganda of Russian and Turkish authorities. Then my reply was to the comment about the cities being in war, which implies Ukraine (as being actively physically bombarded), where I explained that where I live has nothing to do with war as in guns and explosions.

"Living in war", at least for me, implies being physically present in an active war zone that has been bombarded with military and explosions, not some conflict at the other end of the country which is mainly affecting another country.

(Just for clarity: I personally do NOT support war in any way, either the one affecting Ukraine nor Syria, regardless of the initiator)
I'd argue that this whole concept is inherently flawed. My home internet is behind a carrier grade NAT. Many services have rate limited the IP. It's to the point where I'm strongly considering paying a "streaming friendly" VPN to black hat subvert these reputation schemes.

The biggest offenders are internet of things backends for registered devices I "own" and streaming services I'm paying for.

Edit: Here's a concrete example: I looked up my CGNAT IP and saw that it was flagged as a malicious actor because someone ran a port scan from it a month ago.

Now that this offence has started to age out, a few services started working again. My entire ISP can be trivially DOS'ed with a raspberry pi and NMAP!

Of course, other services seem to just do per-IP rate limiting, so they run at << 1MB/s during peak hours. Fast.com and Speedtest.net claim the connection is healthy.

> Putin's hand was forced

The west was pretty close to capitulating on allowing Ukraine to join NATO when they invaded. And no one's forced them to attack civilian targets.
So now, those who attempt to analyze Putin's state of mind by close reading of his public pronouncements -- in full, from kremlin.ru -- need a different forum. We are collectively deciding by default that understanding the enemy is unnecessary, at least not necessary for us ordinary citizens. Necessary only for some elite, membership criteria for which proceed to tighten.

This is a betrayal of one of the core values that make a liberal, rules-based order worth fighting for.

It's also worth noting that even Adam Smith himself didn't seem to think that capitalism could work well without strong and effective labor unions.

It's, at best, unwise to oppose workers banding together to protect their interest, and at the same time turn a blind eye to business owners colluding. Which they will always be able to do. At the very least, in the US their right to fund think tanks that run anti labor union publicity campaigns is constitutionally protected.
It seems similar to what happens with Salvadorans in the U.S., especially newer arrivals.

I am a casual wikipedia page contributor, and have been since the earliest days. I tend to agree there is a problem with 'page guarding' and collusion between long-time editors. Its annoying to see the political litmus tests take a large part of these threads. With all that said..

I believe there is a strong and non-obvious aspect to Wikipedia evolution, that is exemplified by an anecdote: When I started doing "family history in New England" research in the 1990s, the Daughters of the American Revolution publications, in hardback volumes, was considered good sourcing, with some caveats .. In the space of five years, in the 1990s, the "facts" printed in impressive DAR fashion, were shredded, in not a few cases. There simply had never been the ability to check and cross-check, so quickly, over such vast numbers of resources. Truth in family history is evasive sometimes, but tends towards very verifiable. The Internet itself, and the eyes and minds of millions of participants, just created an information environment that had never existed; library of Alexandria on steroids, if you want to be colorful.

So now, decades into the process of Wikipedia, we find out that there are not one kind of fact, there is not one kind of editor, and the attention economy is more real than ever. Mix in human nature, and there is a sort of unsolvable situation.

so what to do? admit imperfection, don't waste pages on obviously irreconcilable situations like "the son of the current Presidential candidate of the USA and allegations", I mean sure, but not dominating the response here; and then do find the cases where the process can be evolved, like breaking up smug cliques of editors, when it needs to happen.. fairly, periodically perhaps.. whatever..
