As an ex-member of a team who used react, redux, typescript, observables, epics, thunks, custom hoome-grown validation libraries, websockets and elixir deployed in two different microservices to build a... signup wizard... I can confirm this.

I proposed to build it in Rails (which we already had, but was the "old monolith we're migrating away from") and I almost get crucified.
Russia is a sheep in wolf's clothing. They play a great PR game that makes them look like a superpower playing with the big boys, but their GDP isn't that big.
Respectfully, intro physics mentions nothing about ICE operating most efficiently at 50 MPH.
This is similar to what i had argued in another thread.

NATO/US/EU played a geopolitical game with Russia where Ukraine is the sacrificial pawn. While Russia is the naked aggressor, the role of NATO/US/EU is more insidious and needs to be called out. It is the Ukrainian (and Russian) soldiers/people dying and suffering while NATO/US/EU have gotten away scot-free.

Acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger observed in an accompanying memorandum, “It is in our interest to see the peaceful end of the Soviet Union as we have known it since 1917—a strong, totalitarian central government able to mobilize the vast human and material resources at its control. . . . The sine qua non for eliminating this threat is substantial devolution of economic and political power [emphasis added].” Even more direct was Secretary of the Treasury Nicholas Brady, who argued in a June 1991 meeting of senior policymakers that “A real reform program would turn [the Soviet Union] into a third-rate [military] power, which is what we want;” judging from their comments at this meeting, Baker, Scowcroft, and others seemed to accept this point of view. Put simply, the spread of freedom, liberty, and U.S. values into the Soviet space was normatively attractive, but it also carried starkly advantageous geopolitical consequences for the United States.

you can use the pumping lemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_lemma_for_regular_lang...) to do this proof trivially. it'll look something like

{1^x : x is prime} is not a regular language. suppose it is a regular language. then by the pumping lemma there exists a p such that every string of length at least p can be written as w = xyz, where |y| >= 1, |xy| <= p [not an important observation for this proof], and we can "pump" a new string w' = xy^nz (for any n > 0) and have w' remain in L.

let p' be the prime immediately above p. then the string

w = 1^p'

is in the language L and must be "pumpable" for some N = |y| > 0. Choose the number of times we "pump" (n in the expression xy^nz) to be p'. Then that would imply

w' = 1^(p' + p' * N)

is in the language L, a contradiction, as p' + p' * N has factors p' and (1 + N). Note we can also use the CFL pumping lemma to prove that this particular language is not context-free either; if we choose s = uvwxy, we can still just pump p' times; the new string just is of size p' * (1 + |v| + |x|), and |v| + |x| > 0.
In those cases we split the meeting and someone sent in the notes async. At the level where all those people absolutely must be present... I would hope they're paid enough and have enough agency in their roles to figure out the solution.

The advertising industry is a cancer upon human civilization and should be abolished.

Literally no one is going to speak out in favor of this plague except the people whose livelihoods depend upon perpetuating it.

Not even hyperbole: Ask anyone if ads are annoying or not. Unless they’re making money from ads, the answer will be Yes.
Clearly Hertz's agency is relevant if you're a lawmaker considering how to regulate Hertz or a manager considering how to operate Hertz. For a person considering whether to rent a car or call a car with DiDi, it's probably fine to model Hertz as a random risk like your bathtub, because there seems to be no evidence Hertz is using false theft accusations as a weapon against, for example, critics or competitors. Probably even being extra nice to the rental car counter clerk won't help because evidently the decision to report the car stolen is made at the corporate level.

As for extradition, actually Pennsylvania has been in the same country as Florida since the USA annexed Florida in 01818.

Also, please don't say things like "You should read the...article," both because they're unnecessarily aggressive and can degrade the quality of discourse, and because they make you look foolish when it turns out that the reason for the apparent disagreement was that you either didn't know what country Florida was in or what "extradition" means.
Defensive realism?
“My theory, which I label “offensive realism,” is essentially realist in nature; it falls thus in the tradition of realist thinkers such as E. H. Carr, Hans Morgenthau, and Kenneth Waltz.”: John J. Mearsheimer. The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.

>>That being said, I think on the topic of Russia and Ukraine, Mearsheimer is not consistent with his own theory (defensive realism). I completely understand why Putin is doing what he's doing, his actions are very well explained by Mearsheimer's framework; he's not a madman (necessarily).

Except Mearsheimer explicity didn't predict a major war between Ukraine and russia. He has commented on this situation repeatedly and failed to accurately predict the outbreak of major war. Mearsheimer has a problem here: Russia is weakening its military potential against other major states by going to war against ukraine. His formulation of offensive realism does not really produce a testable prediction in this case.

DNSSEC could be used to protect against it, if TLS cert issuing policies were tightened by folks who mandate the minimum verification requirements for CAs, but this is not currently done.

We need to know what Russia is reporting. Blocking completely makes no sense.

Which people like peace? Modern USA two decades in Afghanistan?
Well, I don't think Hertz should be using lethal force against anyone, even by proxy. So in particular I don't think they should outsource inventory control to the police.

But whether you should worry about this depends on who you are and what position you're in. From the point of view of a court or a lawmaker this is relevant, but for someone who's considering whether to rent a car there, the risk is probably too small to worry about.
They received fire from a building adjoining the facility and they responded - just like any other military would do.
This is a whole lot of words to refer to nothing specific.

Not finding evidence can't be the story because the original story (which is what had no evidence), er, was a story? Again, an accusation can't pull itself up by its bootstraps. There has to be a there, there.

grep denied /var/log/audit/*

On some systems the avc violations also get printed in dmesg.

If violations block your whole system from even running, you can enable permissive mode, this only logs violations without enforcing them.

As others already mentioned, turning violation logs into allow rules can be done with audit2allow. Wouldn’t recommend blindly using that though as the generated rules are always either too narrow or too wide, just use it as a guideline.
Moderating a top web destination today isn't possible to do correctly.

You could automate moderation with ML, automatic recognition, user-flagging but the sheer number of false positives, and alleged false positives, means you basically need to have a full human moderation team to have real accuracy.

You could just use human moderators, but then you have to pay for them all. Ads based websites can't afford that.

You could charge users money and not be purely ads-based, but then you won't be a top web destination because people aren't willing to pay for the internet with money.

So the only remaining option is to automate, ignore the false positive problem entirely and rake in money while abusing your content creators and users. This is 'The Google Strategy'.
These number are provided by Russian government. How can you be sure that they are true?

Interesting I didn't know that term. That would definitely take more into account the size of their consumer market instead of Russia's being mostly state or oligarch owned extraction businesses.

But I think on the other hand also still shows the relative value?

Like say for example - numbers not real. If the purchasing power needed to buy one shirt in RU is $10, and $30 in US, than the max amount of ad profit would be in line with those profit margins.

So FB can charge more for a buy my shirt ad in the US, because the ad buyer can spend more in real $ terms

I'd say it is very practical for hiring, as you will need just 1 or 2 developers that knows JavaScript and (Rails|Laravel|etc..) for every 4 or 5 you'd need otherwise (some that know JS, some that know backend, and some to coordinate/manage them).

This isn't about you, it's about the 30-40% of YouTube users who don't have that skill, and become radicalized and violent when stupid bullshit like this starts gaining traction.

YouTube isn't a news network. It's a video platform catering to a global audience, many of whom are really really bad critical thinking. Same with Facebook. We all know what happens when content isn't curated, and it's really, really bad.

I'm glad that you're an adult and can make your own grown up decisions, and actually get news from a wide range of sources, and curate it yourself. I obviously wish everyone had that skill, but they don't, and it's actually really really dangerous to take that privilege you've earned for granted.

>>You want to talk about power? China has certainly gained plenty of real-world power since the days of Mao Zedong.

From the perspective of power maximizing their willingness to go to war is puzzling. But most research suggests states are not power maximizing but rather security maximizing. States don't consider their military potential in a vacuum but rather relative to other states that could disrupt their security. ( see: Collateral Damage Sino-Soviet Rivalry and the Termination of the Sino-Vietnamese Alliance)

In this regard, Russia's decision for war is very easy to understand even if it comes across as blindingly machiavellian and immoral. Even if the Russian economy is wrecked and the people of Russia are materially worse off Russia the state will be more secure with Ukraine destroyed.

I'm not sure I represented myself well at all. I'm not for censorship or any form of "Ministry of Truth". Those ideas will be paired with videos naturally by people who would choose to refute the ideas put forth. And I think fair use should cover rebuttal videos (though I'm unsure how copyright works in that way). I don't think anyone needs to be banned for showing a video discussing any topic... it's legal, and a private platform. They have the right, but it seems a bit tacky. I don't see how I could have been misconstrued as for not rebutting poor arguments or false information with facts, good arguments and critical thinking skills. I apologize if I did - I got a little long winded and should have kept it shorter and to the point.
>A very small minority

>hold a referendum. They are a democracy

These don't match. Democracy is rule of the majority. The minority is powerless and can be abused as much as the majority wishes.
RADAR and Flak installations took a lot of forms - many of which were fixed or semi-fixed (these often being protected installations), but also a range that were trailer-mobile or self-propelled.

The Allies did use bombing raids on Luftwaffe airfields as a way to draw out fighters, as well as wide-ranging fighter sweeps that would attempt to catch fighters on the ground. But these had serious limitations: the Germans had very effective short-range AAA deployed around their airfields which inflicted serious losses on ground-attack missions, and airfields at the time were very difficult to damage. Especially prior to the widespread use of jet aircraft with higher takeoff and landing speeds and weights, an airfield could basically be just that - a field - and filling in bomb craters to return a runway to active use was straightforward. That means the only effective target was the planes on the ground themselves, and without guided munitions the only way to effectively target airplanes on the ground was to strike at low altitude and thus come within range of the strong AAA defenses. This would begin to change later in the war with the growing use of (unguided) rockets that allowed for something of a standoff distance (compared to dive bombing), but nothing like the reach of a modern PGM.

I think there's a necessary combination of factors that came together in the Vietnam and Arab-Israeli wars to give birth to SEAD in its modern form:

- Strong enemy air defenses in the form of SAM batteries

- Unacceptable attrition due to said defenses

- Increased weapon accuracy to allow effective targeting of specific threats (e.g. a specific enemy RADAR or SAM site) either via homing (Shrike/Standard ARM) or TV/laser guidance (Bullpup/Walleye/Paveway)

- Early integrated circuits allowing for more complicated and effective electronic warfare equipment (warning receivers, jammers, homing seekers, etc)
How so? Because it doesn’t have E2E encryption on by default?
Why? What is the connection with sanctions on Russia?

I don't understand how a pipeline can create more oil or why that's needed.

All else being equal, shipping stuff further costs more, so in a state of pristine ignorance, I would expect oil imported into the US mostly comes from Canada and Mexico, not Russia (or Saudi Arabia). If only there were a global information network that was easily searchable for factual information...

Also, I would assume that the oil Russia can't sell because of sanctions will go somewhere, maybe...China? Or just used domestically. I don't get why there would be a net effect on global supply in the medium to long term.

Also it's just weird that the electric car guy is demanding cheap oil and gas.
With Linux, the user is in full control. But anti-cheat software necessarily requires the program to have more control than the user (i.e. the user is the "enemy" from the view of anti-cheat software). Hence the difficulty with getting games that require anti-cheat to run on Linux gaming consoles, such as the new Steam Deck.

There is at least one other reason for adblocking: ads - even those on reputable sites - have been used to spread malware. Blocking ads thus is like using a condom, where your partner has insta-sex with hundreds of others the moment you get undressed.

Not "it is better", but "you'd be insane not to".

Secondly, I've never ever heard of a case where the site showing the malvertisements offered any sort of compensation to their victims. If that's how sites like to see the ads, all profits to them and zero responsibility, I see absolutely zero problems with adblocking.
