I'm not going to try to negotiate the NYT nuisancewall. Who is making the claim and why should we believe h{im,er}?

Without more context than the title, my expectation is that we will see both what Russia is capable in offensive terms and what the NSA and NATO's countermeasures are worth on the other side.
Encountered the ZX at the same time as a Vic20, liked that it was more colorful, but was astonished about the bad keyboard compared to the Vic20.
Isn't the whole point of 2FA to keep you safe if your passwords get compromised? Seems like you may as well not bother with it.

I guess this means that any attacker will need to compromise your keepass database rather than just one of your other passwords, but it would help avoid a potential "hosed" scenario.

Maybe you think you're more likely to lose your phone then leak your master password? Perfectly reasonable I suppose :)
I wonder why they didn't try to use a "talk button"? Initiating the call by picking up a specific toy and shaking it seems.. I don't know, unnecessarily complicated. I don't know how true or unique it is for dogs to be able to learn to talk with buttons, but there are many YouTube videos showing how they are trained and how the dogs talk with them. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m-xupLJc4M or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3njWjIimd4

So a few things would be interesting to see:

1.) Does the system work better if the dogs start & stop calls with buttons instead of shaking a ball?

2.) What if you added _other_ buttons for dogs to talk to other dogs? I think it might be boring for both human and dog because there is no physical aspect, but maybe dogs barking at each other would be interesting for them?

3.) When dogs learn the system, will we observe behaviors and customs change? Maybe they will call certain dogs more often, or create new rituals to start and stop calls. Maybe they will act like children (I mean this literally) where they just turn the video on, go about their day, and once in a while say something to each other.
Yes, we know, whatever Putin does is also the fault of the West. Clearly, Europe and the USA are responsible for Russia invading Ukraine. /s

'Look at what you made him do'...

> Yes, but when people like Meirschiemer predicted this a decade ago

Seriously: I'm getting a a bit tired of people who can't even spell "Mearsheimer" are trotting him out at every opportunity to make it clear that he predicted all this and more, and that therefore 'the West is at fault here'.

So what? Seeing Ukraine and the Baltics as the obvious potential flashpoints in Europe does not require any degree of genius. The question that you forgot to ask was: was it inevitable or not? And if it was then whatever the response the West made was irrelevant, dictators do as they do.

I predict that Russia will at some point attempt to take over the Suwalki gap. When I'm proven right that won't amount to a thing, it is as logical as the sun coming up tomorrow morning.
Walk in the steps of successful makers, and fail
They can. But it is not "Ukraine" that it drifting (and you make that sound like it is just the wind blowing them) westward. It is the U.S. and NATO that are PUSHING westward.

In that case as well, why can't Russia "drift eastward?
You aren't wrong but it's important to note that you can't quite separate the two parts of this analogy. They are on a continuum.

Just as with some of the worst lies of Brexit or anti-EU sentiment in mainland Europe, the worst of the lies people believed in the USA were helped by Putin's "outreach" work, both in terms of dark money and via the disinformation teams operated out of the Kremlin like the GRU, and by hacking/activist groups who were possibly unwittingly controlled.

In a climate of disinformation, it's Putin's world, in many ways, and we just live in it. Putin's regime is the primary exporter of state-sponsored misinformation and disinformation globally.

And as to people struggling with things not making sense: that's literally the point.

Both in and outside Russia, Putin's aim is not to have a consistent projected worldview or propaganda; his aim, and his success, is in undermining everyone else's. He was taught to do this by people like Vladislav Surkov, and he is very good at it.

He wants you not to trust anything to be true; just trust that his power is true.
I'm wondering if anyone here has ever tried to reproduce a reproducible build, particularly if you're an end-user/developer (ie. not someone involved in the reproducible builds project itself).
Trump supporters are pretty accepting of gay marriage, and millions of Trump voters in 2016 were Obama voters in 2008 and 2012. Planned parenthood had been around (and little changed) for decades before any swelling of far-right ranks occurred.

The right had always been somewhat illiberal, but they had been kept in check by principled liberals and progressives. When right-wing racists was the norm in the 60s (and earlier), liberal colorblind antiracism overcame. When the right tried to censor ideas in the 70s and 80s, liberal free-speech ideals changed the landscape.

Liberalism effectively moderated right-wing racism for decades, and nothing significantly changed in right-wing illiberalism which could explain left-wing illiberalism.
Honestly you could probably train a GPT-3 based model on the posts of medium and high profile people in whatever industry you work in, add a couple post-content generation checks to eliminate any accidental plagiarism, and you'd be most of the way there.

What was that treaty dependent on?
We don't have war here.

Syria and refugees are part of a bigger plan. It's not like the government suddenly became philantrophic and wanted to help people running from war.

For decades Kurds and Turks lived happily together. Again, government's agenda is to divide and conquer so they made Kurds "enemy" to some (gullible) part of the population.

Surely it's not "easy" though my point stands: when you control mainstream media you can easily manipulate enough people. Current authoratorian government does this in Turkey, and even if there is also many enlightened people, we are just relatively minority.
Maybe you know the information you want is spread over more than one result?
Spanish flu’s mega waves stopped though. My point is if covid keeps swamping us then we won’t be able to ignore it.

No, it hasn't been denied. They said they didn't give "real time targeting". This means that they are indeed giving real-time info. What I described isn't targeting.

Any proof that they are Ukrainian forces?

Surely at some point they'll see that what they're being told doesn't make sens

In the US as significant part of the population will believe that the political party in power is the source of everything bad, counter to any evidence. Paradoxically, evidence against that point of view is almost taken as proof: "that's what they want you to believe!".

Try talking to an ardent Trump opponent or supporter that he did even the least little thing right or wrong. It's maddening the contortions of reasoning and deflection. He's so very polarizing so the phenomena is more extreme with him but the same goes for any president in my lifetime.

Now imagine there's only one real political party, more controls on information, and a general human desire to not see themselves or their "tribe" as the villains in any situation...

The type of sentiment change you're hoping for can occur, but my own observation is that it only happens very gradually over many years or very suddenly when sparked by something cataclysmic, and that second method has as much chance of hardening the mindset with more rationalizing as it does changing it.
Not conventional war.
You know that the Russian army have been in Ukraine for Trump's entire term, right? One of his early big gaffes when running was to say "Russia won't invade Ukraine if he wins" and the journalist pointed out they already had.
But if you look at any other city on yandex.ru the map is next to useless because street and city names are machine transcribed to Russian without showing the real name. How useful is that when you are trying to find your way reading street signs?

Magic works better in rarified areas, away from the oi polloi?
Uhh, that's because the MiG 21 dates from 1955.
This works great for competent, experienced software engineers who are in extremely high demand right now. To be blunt, most people are not that valuable economically to a company, and so have to fight a lot more to get a lot less. Most people would find a hard time getting work with any broadly controversial topics associated with them.

There's also the argument that software engineers may not always be in such high demand, and you never know what's going to be catalogued and indexed to you 10, 20, 30 years from now.
strategic defense. towers provide options to cast Magic in 360 degrees, gain visibility from on high to see approaching caravans, psychic falloff is less with LoS
the downside of this is that companies with locked compiler versions won't be able to use the static analysis tool. Up-to-date compiler versions, according to my observation, is more like a privilege of BigTech and startups. Tons of firms are still using the bundled compiler in RHEL and only upgrade every 3-5 years, though in this case the off-tree decision more likely came from the intent of bypassing compiler repo code reviews for faster iteration (very typical at BigTech when you need KR every quarter)
Which is a true statement.

There are many ongoing treatments in the medical industry, and dare I say it, active suppression of permanent cures.

There are also massive side effects to many of the medical industries treatments. Ie medicine 1 alleviates condition 1, while causing condition 2 in the future. Basically making their own business at the cost of human misery.

There's massive cognitive dissonance in this situation, and most doctors never think about it that way. But people whose lives have been reduced to ongoing suffering through the system certainly have. It's not a cynical take even, it's a realistic take without the rose coloured glasses.

Note this is not saying there aren't benefits or useful features to medical industry treatments. Just that there are also anti-features, and the market incentives have created the situation we have, instead of much better and humane treatments which would be possible without the financial incentives of the medical industry.
Rather than deconstruct whether Elan's tweet is an ivory-tower Truth, or talk about a few (very specialized, niche) alternatives...maybe his tweet should be interpreted as an "urgent personal safety warning" to Ukrainian Starlink users? Those folks could be a lot closer to "clueless noobs" than to "SIGINT sophisticates". Mr. Musk might prefer that they not be added to the death toll - whether via cutting-edge homing missiles, or just well-armed partisans with cheap radio direction finders and "human rights are for sissies" attitudes.

Just a thought.
> we had a west-friendly Russian government at the fall of the wall - but pushing east allowed hawks/imperialists to rise to power

That's not accurate at all - the arrow of cause and effect cannot point backwards in time. The current powers in Russia are largely a result of privitization in Russia in the 90s. This privitization was deeply unfair to the average Russian, and was largely driven by the West's desire to turn Russia away from Communism. The result was the oligarchs and Putin (in charge since 2000). There's still blame for the West here, but NATO expansion came after Russia turned against the West; it wasn't the cause of it.
Don't just plug it in! The power supply and voltage regulator are notorious for going bad, and on the ZX81 they can fry the RAM chips (which are hard to get and even harder to desolder and replace). Watch some reputable online videos about restoring this computer first.
IMO yes. How you rule your personal life is your decision. Ruling a country is a different game and you should be conservative. Risking the life and property of thousands/millions mostly because of your own ego is irresponsible. What makes a great pal (I believe Zelenski is a genuinely good person with whom I would share some beers) doesn't necessarily makes a good ruler. He would be bashed for life (by a few vocal ones) but he wouldn't carry deaths on his back. Many mothers would thank him.

Arguably the most important computer in British history with respect to enabling access to the general public rather than niche segments and tech enthusiasts.

It takes no pushing. Put yourself in the shoes of an Eastern European. Why would you not want to be part of EU and NATO... Staying in Russia's influence seems to just offer corruption and oligarchs, the countries that joined the EU are thriving relative to the others
Are you sure?
Could simply be put as economic war by the west against russian competitors.
Yes, but that's a bug. Google knows better.

There's only one right answer, and Google aims to provide it.

What could go wrong?
No doubt about it? That's just as much an "information op" as the other side you claim. This war is far from decided and making such baseless claims as Russia steamrolling Ukraine because you've heard somewhere of Russia's fearsome military is irresponsible at best.
The interesting part is how Chinese government was able to prove itself that it can lift up people from poverty over the years, so confidence and trust of the citizens hasn’t been on a free-fall. I’m not sure of the same would apply to Russian government. There’s a weird combination of trust and fear within Chinese population, but mostly fear within Russians that I have interacted with in the past.
Russia is supposedly a superpower with modern equipment. But their material leaks oil, tyres are in terrible condition food is missing, their logistics don't work out, they have no air superiority, they don't even have secure communication. At this point I'd be surprised if that huge convoy will reach Kiyv within the next week or at all...

It shows that you cannot support a huge army in such a poor country (GDP/capita). There was a myth to the russian army, but they barely manage to capture cities in which (according to propaganda) most inhabitans support them.

They wanted a Blitzkrieg and it didn't work out at all. Of course they can keep throwing material and bombs at the cities. They have much more material. But how quickly can they do that? Can they cut off supplies from western countries? Can they keep fighting against Javelins and ambushes?

What's the end game at this point? They will be hated by the population they supposedly wanted to free, the cities will be destroyed and they became an international pariah. Their economy will be in shambles.

Russia did think it would be easy ("will be greeted with flowers and bread")!
> An oligarch is someone who...

That's how the word is/was used by the Russians, but isn't really how it's used by the western media. Any Russian billionaire is called an oligarch; it's used as a substitute for plutocrat.

Musk, Bezos, the Koch brothers, Soros, and a few other billionaires are plutocrats, ergo, they are oligarchs.
I'm black and white on the behavior. I absolutely agree with your point about biases being often not obvious.

In this case, though, the biases are so apparent that these employees can't be expected to interact with other potential employees. If an employee's behavior is so abhorrent you have to work around them, they should be replaced.

Another way to think of it - I'm sure the company has language in it's employee handbook around non-discrimination. These employees are overtly violating this language. By letting them stay on and accommodating their behavior, a clear message is sent that they're not serious about non-discrimination.
It seems that the plane had to go all the way around the closed airspaces of Finland and Norway (well, Scandinavia) to reach the Atlantic. Or maybe it's the projection.
Thank you. I have heard this "whataboutism" defense brought out since I have been protesting all war since 1984. It comes from people who do not want to look inside themselves and it is the thing that makes me focus on working with people on a more personal level on themselves.

Not trying to pedantic (OK maybe a little), but the tweet is clearly mentioning "communications systems" not unmetered broadband access, and there's a huge difference between the two.
There is very little they can do, I am afraid to say. My mother-in-law is currently in Chernigov (Northern Ukraine). I think the situation is similar in Kharkiv. The city is surrounded, bridges and roads are ruined, they are being bombed all over. We are waiting on legitimate 'green corridors' to be established before people can get out. Russians have continued shelling in Mariupol even after agreeing to let civilians out in a cease-fire. At this point they are no better than terrorists.
Another thing that would help us who are digging around in Russian infrastructure right now: Host Tor exit nodes from residential IPs in Russia. This comes with the risk of exposing yourself though, but you do help a lot of individuals and groups to be able to access resources we wouldn't be able to otherwise. Again, this is risky so don't do this unless you know what you're in for.
I don't deny that social media have a huge influence nowadays on public opinion. I totally agree with you about that.

As for the initial pushback of the lab theory by virologists, I'm not sure what you're trying to argue for, though. Yes, most virologists rightly considered the lab theories way less likely from the start, and I also remember distinctly that some international scientists who had been to the Wuhan lab (or collaborated with researchers from the lab) defended their Chinese colleagues against unfounded allegations in early 2020. This assessment is confirmed by the recent studies mentioned in the above linked article.

Even if you think they got it wrong and these studies are not as conclusive as they claim, I don't think you can fault virologists for voicing their informed opinions about what they overall consider most likely. It is in the nature of scientific work that you consider some hypotheses more likely to be true than others.
Yes, exactly. The article is still very wrong.

Unfortunately, there isn't one. Fall back to the western parts of the country. Don't expend blood over cities that cannot be saved. End of the day, a country cannot be more than its people. Ukraine should save as many of the families (including men as it can). Eventually, the dictator and his banana republic will splinter again into even more smaller pieces than soviet union did. Current result is already written in stone when Ukraine forgo its nukes for independence and money. Sadly in current world a country's boundaries are not permanent unless backed by MAD (either on its own or through alliances). As much as we have progressed technologically, the human greed and emotions haven't changed one iota which is why we will always have wars.
My wife’s grandmother is an intelligent woman - an engineer, designed industrial machinery in the Soviet Union.

She’s a latvian citizen - but Russian speaking - so she consumes Russian TV and radio.
