Stephen Kotkin warned in a recent interview that the russians have their own way they can wreck havoc in our economies, like cutting undersea cables. And I also wonder if at one point the loss of revenues from cutting gas to europe will be worth given the economic impact it will inflict on the west (power cuts/lack of heating all over europe, price of gas sky-rocketting, etc).
Seizing funds suspected to be linked to criminal activity during investigations (before any charges) is nothing new. Those who are being targeted today had no complaints 20 years ago when similar clauses where written into anti-terror/anti-terror-funding laws

Just chiming in with a hearty +1. My numbers are slightly different though. If I get 7.25 hours of sleep or more, I'm feeling great. If I get 7 or less - depending on how much less - tired eyes, headaches, trouble focusing, worse strength/endurance, etc. And the hilarious thing is my brain seems hell-bent on getting exactly 7. It's hard for me to get that extra 0.25 hours. :|
OK, I'll bite. What is this "diplomatic takeover" of Taiwan you speak of?

The historical circumstances of HK and Taiwan are nothing alike. Furthermore, the mainland communist party doesn't have any sway on Taiwanese politics, as far as I can tell ...other than as a common nemesis to unite against in relation to any issues that could affect the island's autonomy.

I disagree. I would qualify this as a clear bug in mysqljs.

First off, most other DB drivers will use real prepared statements, so what is passed down to the DB is actually the templated query and a set of values. It looks like mysqljs actually parses and interpolates the string before sending it to the DB engine.

Perhaps more importantly, though, this bug is basically the exact type of bug that caused the log4shell fiasco: trying to be too "smart" with user provided values that should just be treated as "dumb" scalars. The fundamental way of filling out template parameters with something that can refer to DB column names is a major flaw IMO.

Russia Likely to Miss Interest Payment
A week before they sanctioned those on the EU list the Swiss government had declined to apply any sanctions, citing Switzerland’s neutrality as the reason.

According to Reuters:

> Switzerland has steered clear of imposing sanctions in a string of crises, including when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. Up to now, the exception has been sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council, which it has to implement under international law.

So certainly it seems like they are “taking sides” here more than ever before. Seems like a change in what they consider being neutral to be.
> Native Mac apps tend to require recompile and updates for every minor os upgrade. Electron is slow, wastes battery time, and is usually unsafe, but it'll shield the developer from Apple's aggressive api deprecation.

In my experience this varies a lot depending on the type of app. Your typical CRUD app (which the vast majority of apps are) will probably work fine for many releases in a row without needing significant changes to source or even a recompile, but if you're doing anything fancy with hardware or lower-level APIs you're more vulnerable.

Rate of change in AppKit/Cocoa is glacial relative to just about any front end or even back end web framework. Not too long ago I got an early-2000s open source Mac app compiling and running on current macOS over the course of a weekend… there were deprecation warnings all over the place but it worked fine. Meanwhile when I unearthed an early-2010s RoR project, resurrecting it was an exercise in futility.

>she’s not legally obligated to open her replies

Obviously not. I'm not talking about what's legal or illegal, I'm talking about being courteous by engaging with other's responses to you. Yes, some people will not be courteous back, but by disabling the ability to reply you're shutting everyone out.
Actually, I'm with you up to a point.

The Publisher obviously gave him an advance for the last two books. Not finishing them...and not returning the money (which tbh we don't know if he did or did not) is theft.

Plus it undermines trust and causes issues with the Publisher being able to deploy those funds elsewhere. He obv. no longer cares about the fans; he sold us off to HBO as soon as he could and has insulted us left, right and sideways. He is correct; he doesn't owe us anything, but we gave him millions collectively with the understanding that we would be receiving a conclusion to our series.

No problem; I'm never going to give him another cent, but if the Publisher cares about being taken seriously from now on, then they will find an author to finish the last two novels. They should have no difficulty. I'm quite sure that there is an author in Germany or The Scandies with the skill and lyric talent to do the last two books justice. We have probably never heard of them because a great many books are never translated for the US audience. It is thought that fantasy doesn't sell well here enough to make it worthwhile.

Meanwhile, HBO maybe in for a painful experience. Because yes, we are all still very angry at not only not having a completed series, but about how badly the TV series ended. Hollywood seems to have forgotten the books that they used to read when they needed to escape from things going badly. I am quite sure they all have favorite books; at the same time, they treat our Worlds badly and then wonder why we refuse to support the crap they produce at the levels they want/expect us to...hmmm, seems a no-brainer to me. Peter Jackson found success with a difficult and dangerous (life-threatening) project because he had enough sense to treat Tolkien's World respectfully...and he sold Weta for $2 Billion. By my reckoning, HBO has left Billions on the table by abusing Westeros and they won't make it back by making new spin-offs. But that's just my half penny...which matters not at all.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, this is a fairly common practice.

It's fairly typical within the industry to go to the same two destinations every single day. For example, you go from a potato chip manufacturing plant to a distribution center x number of times every single day. You can contract with either a freight forwarder who will handle booking different operators to actually move the goods or you can deal with a trucking company directly. If you find the right company and the economics make sense, I'm sure you could get a deal done. I would say most drivers would even prefer the same route since you can plan your life better. That being said, it depends on how long the "long haul" is as it will be harder to find someone willing to travel across the entire USA for an extended period of time.

There is a strategic change going on in the chip business. Blindly putting in the last 10 years with a couple adjustments isn't going to do it.

We're still buying millions of dollars worth of oil from Russia daily because our government is afraid of blowback from further energy price inflation.

Economic sanctions on China would absolutely cripple us. I don't doubt that, if they were committed to the idea, the CPC would likely be willing to ride out whatever we actually cobble together in response. They've been pushing heavily for self reliance in every industry for quite awhile now.
Sanctions were imposed on 6(?) banks, not on entire banking system.

Even swift works with any other russian bank.
I said exact reproducibility. Every time you add numbers your neurons likely fire in slightly different ways, but the end result is what is reproducible and useful.

He's not totally correct because, like I said, the way we think of analog computers right now is likely not going to get us to where we need to be. Noise is a huge problem. Our own neurons do not seem to use continuous voltage, for example, and use pulse density coding, at least for some of their operation.
Because they feel they have a chance at a better outcome. If you don't fight there will be no negotiation with Putin. You'll just be rolled over.

I'm not sure its even that. Nearly all of these "takedowns" by Anonymous have been websites that are currently under what's probably exponentially higher load than normal. Maybe some coordinated DDoS attempt, but it seems just as likely to me for it just to be crummily-constructed government sites buckling under high traffic.
I'm not an economist, nor was I in the room when the sanctions decision was made. I can only guess that the experts who were in the room decided that depriving Putin of economic means was a time-sensitive process, and that petro-sanctions alone would take longer to have their effect than the Ukrainian army could hold out.

At the very least, that's one of many possibilities of what happened.

> I have made this comparison in other comments, I see this conflict as a repetition of the Cuban Missile Crisis. If you are convinced that nuclear weapons will not be used for a first strike and if you - as the USA - are committed to not perform a first strike on the USSR, then there is no risk from USSR missiles on Cuba. But the USA didn't like the idea, so either they were not convinced that the USSR would not perform a first strike despite the dire consequences or they were not committed to not perform a first strike and feared the retaliations. ...

This analogy does not work. Nuclear weapons technology and military doctrine has changed since the 1960s some people thought an effective first strike was possible, that is no longer the case and has not been for over a decade(decades?) to my understanding.

> And whatever consideration made the USA not like the idea of nuclear missiles close to their border, the same considerations may make Putin dislike its neighbors become NATO members. And this was just ignored. This seems, at least in my opinion, a much better and more rational explanation than some vague ideas of what Putin might be thinking. At it perfectly aligns with his actions in the past. In 2008 Ukraine and Georgia started the process of becoming NATO members in Georgia was promptly attacked. The Ukraine under Yanukovych no longer really pursued a NATO membership until 2014, then this became again more and more a priority and Russia reacted with Crimea, eastern Ukraine and now this. In reaction Sweden and Finnland consider a NATO membership and Putin immediately reacts with a warning.

Maybe you think I am objecting to something I am not. I asserted your claim/statement was too strong. I objected to the claim that you know Putin's thought process about Ukraine joining NATO. In particular that it threatens Russian security. Claiming Putin's actions are consistent with your assertion is much stronger, but also leave open the possibility for other explanations, for Putin to have other motivations.

No mention of diet.

There is a chemical which can be taken in 1-2gram amounts daily that will give you a six pack just from a couple hours of walking, its legal and its used for other things but it has its "side effects" so needs to be complimented with other chemicals in order to mitigate said "side effects", and thats when you start going down a long path of chemical and biological pathways.

The thing with chemicals is you need to take them at the right time of day in the right amount, take them at the wrong time and your sleep will not be good and/or you will be feeling tired all day.

Most multivitamins can be considered harmful for the above reason but the range of chemicals will offset some of that harm.

Sure exercise can help for pumping blood, raising body temperature, but could you get away with little or not exercise? Probably, if you can control the chemical intake to compliment your food/drink intake, whilst bearing in mind that food/drink already limits your lifespan.
I'd argue that the root mistake is that the server-side feature of prepared statements through the client/server binary protocol is not used as described in [1]. Instead, the question marks are replaced using a dirty hack. The whole point of prepared statements is that the client/server protocol takes care of inserting the values into the statement instead of having to fiddle with functions like mysql_real_escape_string.

This seems like needless defeatism. Why settle for a worse out come for the same amount of money?

Even if it's slightly more, in every remodel that you're actually going to live in it makes sense to pony up an extra grand where it matters, like your appliances. "Builder grade" is only acceptable for people who don't have to live in it, and if you're hiring the builders then you need to make that clear...
This is unfortunate, but what can Wikipedia do.

They can’t allow you upload your own proof, and then have citations on Wikipedia pointing to Wikipedia.

The only way they can really do it is to insist on citations to reliable sources. That sucks when there is nothing true about it out there, but without those rules you could just write anything at all , they need some rules.
Just don’t make your software FOSS. Like you reap what you sow when you release your software as an open source project as a growth hack but when you realize you can’t make money giving your product and then selling hosting when it isn’t your core competency.

Like I can’t be mad at AWS for actually keeping ES alive as a community project for the benefit of the people who actually use and deploy it instead of some freemium company product where shit like security is a paid proprietary add-on.
If I was looking for a stablecoin at the intersection of secure, seizure resistant, and well backed, I'd probably go with Liquity (LUSD). It's backed by ETH, doesn't have a dao or anything controlling it, and has been operating for over a year at this point with no issues.
Why would Putin stop at Ukraine?
Bingo. Any time software is made to try parsing & escaping SQL queries before sending to the server is going to find out the hard way why that is risky.

With prepared statements it's like saying to the DB, here's the query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ? AND password = ?. And here's the data: ["whatever", "whatever"]. You can literally send whatever your heart desires for those two strings, unescaped, to the DB server and let them deal with it.
