How dreadful :-(

Yet again this week: this needs upvoting for visibility and downvoting for their experience.

Many in the UK and the USA in particular (but in Europe as well) can relate to this kind of experience of talking to someone who exists in an irrational belief bubble concerning one or two other topics.

But in most cases it doesn't have anywhere near the stark awfulness of this.
No sane person would take that risk. And even if regulations made it a purely civil covered by regulation thing even if the car runs over some kid, I'd fully expect the insurance company to go after the manufacturer.

if you speak Russian you can go on vk.com and check some of the exchanges on public groups. There are also few "interviewing regular Russians on the streets" videos circulating around.

To clarify the belief that was cultivated through propaganda is that there are reckless Nazi groups in Ukraine who stop at nothing to hurt russians. They were striking at ethnically russian regions of Ukraine for last 8 years. When Russia invaded to fight these groups they positioned their forces in the hospitals and schools. As they strike back they are hitting their own schools and hospitals mostly from being sloppy, because that's what they are and the equipment is old. And in some cases maliciously, because they need gruesome content for the west. Russian forces are doing precision strikes and hurt no civilians.

I think you underestimate how massive and elaborate Russian propaganda is. These stories are fed in pieces over weeks, sometimes years. For example it took multiple years to establish and cement the idea of Nazi groups in Ukraine. Now if you start at this belief it's not that far fetched to believe these groups have no regard for human life whether it is their foreign or their own.
Although later Chomsky comments have been strange, historically his views have been very insightful, and a lifetime work should not be dismissed just because of it
I'm not sure if I share the same assessment. I am amazed at how robust your typical Wikipedia page is despite the chaos that goes into writing it. Given that it's not possible to make a version of reality that everyone is happy with, I think Wikipedia comes pretty dang close.
Sorry, I am not quite sure what the problem is? I think Wikipedia is great from my day to usage. Can you point me to specific examples where the output is bad due to this?

I would like to see the problem.
It is science not liberal. The hospitals were full of dead and dying. Macho dullards are not heroic they're misinformed and leading the dumb over a cliff.

> This is a misunderstanding of the blockchain community.

It's a misunderstanding of part of the community. Part of the community is ideologically anarchocapitalist libertarian - the loud part - and the rest of the community couldn't care less about decentralization or trustlessness so long as number go up.

After all bitcoin isn’t technology it’s ideology. An old slow inefficient linked list being stapled to anything that moves.

By all information available the Russians did not believe that their campaign would last longer than 3 days. Lots of little bits of evidence, starting with the amount of fuel and food given to the invaders to the stories those told to their family when after capture Ukrainians allowed them to communicate with their parents to the leaked news article that got withdrawn.
Reading your content has me wondering how this all is related to living in a very litigious society where everyone has to live in fear of lawsuits.
I’ve been lurking on r/AskARussian lately and people there are pissed at the west for sanctions—they don’t understand why the west can’t just sanction Putin and cronies, and a good chunk of them also seem to think the west is hellbent on invading Russia and Putin’s war is necessary to stop the West from acquiring Ukraine (presumably a platform from which to invade Russia). And note that this sub is much less insane than r/russia whose mods are straight Russian state censors.

In other words, even the least-propagandized Russians seem to be heavily influenced.
I tell this to my liberal friends all the time. You don't have to listen to the swill on Fox News, but you should at least listen to valid conservative viewpoints to understand why the disagreements exist in the first place, to understand why there is a range of views on any topic to begin with. Living inside a singular viewpoint bubble doesn't help anyone. The same people that insist that human sexuality is non-binary, and runs across a spectrum, hold near totalitarian beliefs on other topics. As a liberal, that attitude makes me sad.
That reminds me something like the OpenTimestamps project:

Dogs manipulate the world with their mouths. While they learn to do things with their paws, the most natural thing for them to do is to pick something up with their mouths. Shaking a toy is in-built behaviour.
Well I suppose another "Who watches the watchmen" type site can be built to report on bias issues/irresponsible editors. But ideally Wikipedia itself would build some internal mechanism for dealing with disputes. Has it done so?

I have heard that Wikipedia is "broken" before, but without specific examples the complaint comes across as hollow. And if you do have specific examples, then I think it gives people the chance to investigate your claims.
maybe a contradictory bot farm ... something that can dig wide data graphs on wikipedia to point at inconsistencies and provide more fixes

You're thinking of the ZX Spectrum (colour, hence the name) rather than the monochrome ZX81.

Edit: If you thought the Speccy's keyboard was bad then you would have been astounded by how much worse it was on the '81.
So does overpressure.

That's far easier to do (lower power needed to cause major damage) against satellites which have optically sensitive parts pointed toward the Earth. Starlink satellites probably don't.

And whether with lasers, missiles, or whatever - targeting a US-based satellite network that is near & dear to the Pentagon would be an extreme escalation. Especially after the Russians warned that any hacking of their satellites would be seen as justification for war.
So we should do nothing while Ukrainian citizens are being bombed?

And Moldova is next. We also do nothing when Russians do the same to Moldova?

At some point, you will have to draw the line: here and no further.

And now me made a very clear statement: if you invade another country, you lose all benefits that we provide, and we lose all benefits you provide. It's just that the benefits that we provide seem bigger than the other way around.
> If every statement fit within the column limit of the page, yup. It’s a piece of cake. (I think that’s what gofmt does.) But our formatter also keeps your code within the line length limit.
Straw man. I said no such thing. Please respond to the text I actually wrote.
It also claims that “the Z80 CPU at 3.25 MHz was actually faster than the Apple II processor (1.08 MHz).” This is, pedantically, true, in that the oscillator is ringing faster. However, the 6502 completes more work per clock cycle than the Z80 does. A single-byte instruction (such as “increment the A register”) takes 2 clock cycles on 6502, 4 cycles on the Z80. More complicated instructions can take up to 7 cycles on the 6502 and 20+ on the Z80. The estimate I use is that a 6502 is approximately 3x faster clock-for-clock than a Z80.

Also, the Apple II CPU didn’t spend 70% of its time drawing the screen! It had separate video hardware that transparently interleaved with the unused back half of the CPU clock cycle. The ZX81 was tricked into “executing” sequential screen-memory addresses in a very tight loop by falsifying its data bus with a NOP instruction. Fancier computers would use dedicated DMA hardware. Not Sinclair!
Idk it seems pretty clear if you have a bit of context of what is being discussed - he's pointing out that there are techniques to locate the dishes, that Russia could use to physically locate/attack Starlink users in Ukraine.

Before internet, the village idiot was just that and laughed off. With internet, they got a group and justified themselves and now people are falling for that.

If these idiots were taking just themselves off the cliff, then sure. But they are taking villagers who cant tell the difference between legit or not off the cliff too.

Even worse, those idiots are turning these misguided villagers onto the rest who know better to not listen to these idiots.

This is a failing of the education system here. But no one is talking about how to really distinguish propaganda from real. Sure they misguided people have freedom of speech, but they are growing like a virus and a virus needs to contained. Social literally has the term "viral" for crying out loud.

The other more important thing to contain would be the medium on which this infection is spreading. Which mean reducing the impact of the feed algorithm. Access to the feed should be limited. Also, facebook and youtube dont want to give up the feed. That is what keeps the humans hooked.

If one part of the body is cancerous, you cut it off. You dont stand around arguing if that part of the body has right to free speech.
Thanks, sent this information to our teams
Propaganda has been similarly effective in North Korea, China, and USSR. Were those places full of low-IQ people? Or is it possible that propaganda affects even average and high-IQ people?
It's a common expression. I think Stephen Colbert may have been the first to use it.
If they were actually rigged, do you honestly believe there would be a mainstream (government approved) source saying that? There are plenty of sources saying that, of course, just none you would believe. So it's really a rather unfalsifiable position innit? "The election isn't rigged, and anyone saying it is is a conspiracy theorist. But please post a source saying it's rigged."
Can you also put yourself in the shoes of a Ukrainian? And what is the difference between a Russian "Oligarch" and Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk?

And the countries that joined the EU are thriving because the EU economically crushes the other countries through the IMF.
I guess the goal was not to condemn or to justify rather than to provide some context conveniently lacking in the mainstream media.
Navigation in much of Manhattan is straightforward. Driving at high traffic hours is certainly not in large areas of the city. I hate driving in Manhattan and will do just about anything to avoid it.
To everyone interested - since recently[1] it supports SARIF[2] output, thus could be easily integrated[3] with the GitHub.

This could be true in a way. I work at at an advertisement firm and know what everybody knows: videos and photos are waaaay more bigger than text, even if are Word files, so it consumes a way more traffic. 80% get's easily short. Edit: I'm assuming that people in the black won't traffic only text between them, my bad.
Already working on it. If anyone is interested in contribution - message me.

> And that’s with free press in America.

Part of the issue is it isn’t free. So many people were banned. News stories banned. Companies banned and dropped.

When you get that level of censorship it creates a massive level of distrust. Further, what’s “truth” when the facts can’t be debated...
You are too naive to think the people can't see what's going on.

Putin brought this on his people for some idealogic crusade. Not everyone will understand but some will.
Why should I read this as opposed to Murphy or Bishop?
Fixture data (for testing) is fine. Sometimes a few lines is the minimum viable to test, sometimes a hundred or so lines of JSON. As long as the data is being optimized for testing and you aren't just storing a GB because it's easier.

I was replying to a comment asking why PII data shouldn't be stored in git vs a database. Just tried to give a general rundown of how to think about the tools.

Totally agreed that the data should have been synthetic/scrubbed and that a small sample set (large enough to validate) would be ok.

Sometimes a PDF or a few pictures are necessary (or just much simpler). I get that. I have seen some repos with an unreasonable amount of PDFs/Docs/pictures/etc.. and that's when a script that copies them into a gitignored directory from someplace (Dropbox/S3/etc..) is a better fit.
How do you have vectors and maps without templates?
It's a famous Stephen Colbert quote. Google for the video.
Yes, they can be pretty much the same. There have been suicidal warriors in the past, it's not really that absurd. Propaganda could say they are killing themselves to make Russia look bad.

I remember a very suspicious suicide in Argentina, and how some media were theorizing that he killed himself to make the government look bad.
Yet, 'the facts of life are conservative'.
He is quoting political comedian Stephen Colbert, referring to the fact that different political groups all independently believe that their perspective is actually a reflection of reality.
Origin was 1788 from my little research. Point is that all of these words start out as high-minded words from well-meaning people and then some ninny comes along and tries to change the word, telling everyone that their words are bad instead of looking at the problem square in the face, however ugly or bad the problem may seem.
So why doesn't Russia attack US then? Europe was getting closer to Russia, you can't deny that. That this might not be in the best interest of US is possible.

But why should Russia start a war with Europe then? Please explain.

EU and Russia could be a very strong power, to offset the other powers in the world. But now Russia decided to fuck both EU and Russia. Nice play idiot(s).
So if you are a young man

Not just young men. If a man is between the ages of 18 and 60 currently then they would be defending their country. They are also accepting men from outside their country and have relaxed the visa requirements.

no way to opt out

Probably not legally. One would have had to find a way to flee the country while that was still possible. This is not unique to Ukraine. Many people fled the US that were opposed to participating in the Vietnam war.

As a side note, I think it is about to get interesting in the United States of America as the Selective Service is slowly moving in the direction of accepting women into the process. [1][2] I would expect this to become a popular headline once ratified.

Looks interesting, but it seems to be missing something that would allow you to deal with arbitrary binary data that has nulls in it. Looking at the types[1], there's a String, but it's mapped to null-terminated C strings. And I don't see a mapping to char or a pointer to some allocated memory.

Well Ireland was made to vote twice on ratifying the Lisbon Treaty. The people's vote got it wrong the first time with a "no", but after suitable re-education they got it right the next go around. Luckily there was no need for a third vote. There's a nice wikipedia article on it:

Phased array (which they use) is leakier than a physical directional antenna.
We all know Wikipedia is not perfect, wrong information can be in there, so is it relevant that some bullshit political things is not perfectly represented?

One solution would be to teach people to check multiple sources, and each political camp can put their own version of "truth" and people could read all the versions and decide .

I am curious what type of pages bothers people that they need to endlessly fight on attempting to edit them, my bias as a non american is that is about the americans and their political/cultural war and maybe a few nationalists trying to change historical facts on some pages.
This is Murphy btw. Just the advanced version.
Most manufactures decided to include Microsoft's signing key into firmware. That is not something Microsoft is in control of. Pre-loaded (factory) keys are much harder for Linux as it seems every distro wants their own signing key, and from an administration perspective, that is not easy to keep track of.

Everyone can load their own signing keys into firmware. However, if you want something that "just works", Microsoft signs a package called Shim[1] that can be loaded on most computers due to the pre-loaded keys.

A relationship with Microsoft is not needed in any way or form to have Secure Boot.

Yes in a sense it is.

You could say its modern equivalent is the MIT LLK research group's design for visual block structure in Scratch, where you cannot assemble control flow in ways that cannot be parsed, and the quasi-physicality of it teaches you as you go.

A tangentially-related story:

When I was a kid I asked my chemistry teacher if a particular chemical bond could happen in ordinary circumstances.

(I can't remember for sure but I imagine I asked about carbon-carbon triple-bonds, not least because it must be a common question and he was ready with the answer.)

His response -- which obviously elides some details! -- was to ask me to try to represent it using the balls-and-springs chemical models. Which you can't really do ;-)

I am reminded of these things, really regularly, when I design any app or website a person has to interact with. It's possible to design useful tools that are also implicit teachers -- where designs communicate possibility and limitations without overburdening the user with detail.
In this election year, Republicans will, at the very least, retake control of the House of Representatives, making Kevin McCarthy, speaker of the house. There is also an opportunity for them to take control of the Senate, returning Mitch McConnell to his leadership role.

The far right despises technology companies, and there will be a huge push by their members to bring them all to heel.
Because the country I am living in, the U.S., played a huge part in instigating Putin's war crimes against the people (not the politicians and Neo-nazi's) of Ukraine.

I am anti-war, and my country is installing war and conflict in several places. So there is my reason.
This article is a typical example of modern "journalism" where you make catchy headlines out of non-issues and downright false notions.

Literally no one is angry at Sanderson for this. The article itself mentions only two tweets, out of which one is private (invisible to public) and the other gets clarified by its author's next tweet that she doesn't have a problem with Sanderson raising that much money, she was only pointing out how fantasy readers just settle with a few favourite authors and don't try anything new.

I wish people stopped reacting to such nonsense and giving it clicks and views.
Better reception obviously. Also phallic symbol. Warriors don't have anything to prove physically.

So the wizards have the "hey you wanna see my tower" routine. A nice cup of mind control potion seals the deal.
This is the good faith interpretation.

The more people learn to do this, the further we'll get in our discourse.

I'd love to watch a breakdown of current news stories done with charitable interpretations only. Does anyone know of a news source that doesn't drop down into mischaracterizations of every opposing viewpoint?
There's no "proof." It's a joke made by comedian Steven Colbert (in character as a self-parody of a Conservative and right-wing pundit) during the 2006 White House correspondents' dinner, mocking the Bush Administration's low approval rating as "reality" having a "liberal bias." In the context of post-Trump politics, the joke would be to dismiss unfavorable poll numbers as "reality" being "fake news."

The businessmen might think of their wallets first, but as long as the sanctions last, they cannot send spare parts to Russia. Also, the defense manufacturers are currently quite happy with the increased defense spendings.

Whatever the US role in the events in Ukraine was, for sure they won't let Russia off the hook easily after this invasion.
Who would you consider a valid conservative if not the most mainstream conservative news organization? I have the utmost respect for David Frum and a lot of the "Never Trump" type conservatives who clearly actually believed in their principled ideas, but even they would tell you that they're a minority of a minority. It's often hard to tell if Fox News is leading or following mainstream conservative opinion (and of course it's never that simple), but clearly they track the majority opinions of people who consider themselves conservative.

Could you please point to an example where you feel the article isn't neutral?
It should be possible to fork pages. If an active editor doesn't like edits they can publish their own version.

The main Wikipedia owners then choose, like they do now, which editor they support as default.
Exactly. That's why I called it a Cuba crisis style stand-off.
Sure, some will. But we've seen how well propaganda works here in the US over the last 6 years, I feel less and less and certain that we'll be able to agree on a common reality here at home.

The number of people that still argue about how the last election was stolen just blows my mind.
If the number of 1's itself is prime, then n is prime. That's all this does. Search the other comments for 'hung' or 'hang' to see examples of small numbers that take forever to resolve.
From UX side, nice addition would be displaying time in local time zone from browser and/or additional list to select timezone/country on page with scanned QR code
You can be consistently wrong though.
This is certainly a possible implementation and good if you would want to base it on the chain, doable via a minimal node. It would not work offline though, which would make it harder to use in frontline reporting, so I think the spec itself should not specify such a requirement.
Not all congestion are created by those chokepoints. It's created because someone at some point hit the brakes, and then cars behind get into a pattern of accelerating & braking constantly until the congestion resolves. Steady driving with lots of gaps helps resolve this faster and prevent congestion in general.
