I saw it on a major German site, and you can find many links pointing to it. Just the first link from Google (I searched for "Russia prepared (and accidentally published) a press release"):

https://news.yahoo.com/russian-state-news-accidentally-publi...

Incidentally, the contents of that press release is what really shocked me much more than the invasion itself. It showed their twisted state of mind and that it wasn't about Ukraine, that they see themselves in some righteous crusade against the evil West. EDIT: The link I found is not the original, but others have posted other links. What I saw was a link from Der Spiegel (www.spiegel.de) when this was fresh news and it was just an absurd statement all around. The Twitter link that was posted shows it best.

That article was when it all changed for me. It showed to me that this was not the end from Putin's PoV, but just the beginning of some kind of holy struggle. That article really brought it home to me that we needed to up our defense spending ASAP. Because the Russian leadership had gone insane. Some goals in Ukraine I could have logically understood as Russian interest - but the whole "we against the West" thing was just madness.

I mean, the West was pretty happy financing and equipping Russia and China, helping both to modernize for decades. The West also kept pretty quiet any time Russia did some "special operation". Even the invasion of Georgia did not have any great consequences and was soon forgotten. It appeared to me that the West was quite okay with Russia gaining back some power - to take care of issues like militant Islam in the region. I did not see any sign that a weak Russia was in the Western interest. If there were individuals with a different opinion, who cares, the West has a huge amount of different voices unlike the authoritarian centralized China and Russia. If one looked at what happened it was a huge empowering of both China and Russia by the West, not a weakening. George W. Bush even recommended Ukraine to not go independent (Kiev Chicken speech), the USSR falling apart was all the USSR itself. Did the West like having to scramble to ensure the safety of nuclear tech in the years of Russian chaos? Surely not!

How can China and Russia possibly claim/think that the West is out to suppress them? Modernization in both countries would have been impossible or taken a century without all the very active help from the West. So seeing yourself in some victim role is just ridiculous.

I have some connections to Russia, having visited quite a few times and even done a Russian(!) language course (to fresh up, I already spoke a bit) in Odessa for a few months. I also know people who have businesses in Russia and help foreign businesses to invest there. So I saw and see first hand a bit of the great help Russia got in all areas of business and tech.

How anyone (Russian leadership) can ignore all of that and think themselves into a corner where they think they have to take military action to thwart the evil West? It's just so stupid! Which means there is little chance for diplomacy - the whole thing was not created by reason, so it's hard to use reason to get out of it.
Not the author, posting on Katie's behalf!

We've struggled a lot around pricing. Our product is an incident response tool built on Slack, so there's a few things that make it difficult:

- Our product encourages communication across the entire organisation, not within a single department or team (ie, engineering) and that's where we believe the real value is

- Even so, we want people to be able to adopt the product before committing for their entire workspace, so they can get a good sense of how it works for them

- And we don't want to put any barriers in the way of adoption, or have someone be unable to respond in an incident because "there aren't anymore seats!"

After a few revisions we've settled on a model we believe best aligns the value customers get from our product with what they'd end up paying us.

It's probably only 70% right, but feels a lot better than what we had before.

We wrote this article in case others are going through a similar process, and wanted a view into how we evolved our model over the last year.
What would have happened during the war in Iraq with a EU army? A few countries, including France who would presumably be the major contributor to this hypothetical army, didn't want to go.
That would get you exactly three glasses from a bottle. That's… not a normal pour of wine in any country.

A standard size bottle of wine (750ml) serves five or six glasses, but the hospitality industry usually goes for five out of a bottle. 150ml (or 5oz) is what you can reasonably expect in restaurants and bars for the average glass of wine.

Do you honestly pour a third of a bottle at a time for wine?
Honestly I thought the same thing about your comment tbh lol

I don’t understand what’s negative about the folklore. I feel as if you’re conflating this folk tale to an organized religion or something.
I think the best path forward for Europe should be to have both. Keep NATO as a strong alliance and build an EU Defense component as a non-alliance. That will make things much more complicated for whoever wants to endanger European security in the future.
They do, yes. The key thing is that they didn't know what they were campaigning for wasn't possible though, so they often try and fail, or the situation changes to make plans impossible, or they just realised what they wanted to do was actually stupid. All those things are fine. Changing your mind when presented with new data is a good thing.

Campaigning while knowing that you plan to do something else is different. The important thing is that you should campaign believing that you will make every effort to implement your plans, else you are defrauding voters. For example, I have no doubt whatsoever that Boris had absolutely no intention of trying to increase NHS funding despite repeated saying he would if people voted leave. That's the difference. He wasn't just wrong or incompetent or unlucky, but instead he was telling people something he knew wouldn't happen.
There is a fundamental problem that this kind of thing, while critical that it is heeded, is presented exactly for its relevance to current events, and so, despite the author in this case explicitly stating that nothing here diminishes Putin's crime, the article's topic is inherently used as a tool for doing exactly that, in practice. E.g. I have already seen somebody use this article (not on HN) in an argument that Russia's actions are justified (I doubt they read the whole thing). Imagine how often writeups that are not so holistic are used this way.

There are, very broadly, two closely related topics:

1. X, Y, and Z past events, vs the current attitude toward Russia, are specific examples of, more or less, hypocrisy in the West. More charitably, they are evidence of a cultural disconnect and inability to sympathize that has badly needed bridging for all of human history, but is especially relevant right now.

2. The West are hypocrites and therefore should not oppose, neither with words nor with actions, the idea of Putin attacking Ukraine's capital to coerce them into surrendering their land.

I think if it's clear the article is not making the case for #2, we should really try not to bar them from rational discourse, despite their inevitable misuse in promotion of item #2.
"The 48 Laws of Power" is a fun read, and very related to this topic.

Welcome to the problems of being a EU border.

Visegrad countries have refused for years to help with the inflows from the Southern border. Excuse me if I take out the tiniest violin I have, now.

Maybe it's the time for everyone to grow up and accept that we need a new set of agreements on cross-continent refugee handling and resettlement, because it's in everyone's interest that the matter is addressed in a scalable way where everyone shares the burden.

I've lived in the US all my life, and I'm still confused at when tips are required and when it's just a nice thing to do. Even order-at-the-counter places now ask for a tip (often pre-filled to 15%) at checkout. Are their employees being paid below minimum wage? I don't think so, but they know it's ambiguous enough that they can exploit the weird culture around tips.

Where is the line for when a tip is required? If I pick up my food at the counter but they clean up the tables when I'm done, are those employees making less than minimum wage? If I order at the counter but someone brings me the food? The sit-down restaurant with a dedicated waiter is the easy case, but it's not the only case.

There are a ton of ambiguous edge cases, and many, many restaurants are deliberately exploiting the uncertainty. The whole thing is a mess, and I totally sympathize with Europeans who get confused and just give up.

(Not that it's okay not to tip as long as we have this confusing mess of a wage system. You just can't say that it's an easy social norm to understand and follow.)
I strongly disagree. Our entire strategy as an armed force is centered around force projection. We have bases in more than 70 countries and we have a number of carrier fleets and incredible logistics capabilities that allow us to project force almost anywhere in the world.

Obviously we can't know for sure what a world without a large American military would be like, but a big goal of that force projection is to reduce the chance of major conflict from bad actors.

Nuclear deterrents and the United States' military dominance have done a fairly good job of keeping peace in large parts of the world. Russia attacking Ukraine is the first major war in Europe in decades.
I think this is slightly different. Article 5 is a treaty obligation, attacking troops from a world power triggers a moral and emotional reaction.
Woah...... Ok I am sold.
The three day war idea is the only rational basis for the invasion:
1. Decapitate the government and military
2. Broadcast a message of surrender
3. Install a puppet government and occupation control of cities

That's the only way 200k soldiers can control a nation of 40 million who are united against invaders and united behind a democratically elected government.

Even if half of the first objective can be attained in a few weeks, it will not lead to the following necessary objectives being met. Putin has no viable plan.

Which, if you are making an analogy to Iraq, is somewhat similar: The US had no viable plan to stop patrols being ambushed using the same tactics on the same roads week after week.
The FFL is quite independent in terms of logistics, no? They recruit right out of my alma mater, the US Marines.

What you're describing is taught to us as the difference between an occupying force and an expeditionary force. Occupying forces don't really need to be trained on seizing forward air bases because someone else does that. That kind of army functions a lot more like well-armed police. The Marines has a different decree, which holds most units at a high level of unit readiness because the president has the capacity to deploy them for 30 days at any given time. We operated most battlefield functions as internal jobs, aside from ships logistics, and cross-training is heavily emphasized to combat cost. Interestingly enough, the Marines is the smallest and least funded branch in the armed forces - so it would appear the difference is primarily in culture, logistics, and tactics.

Edit:

All this said, we operated and trained with British, Korean, Aussie, and Dutch military components that had and trained on these capabilities.

It seems to me that Media Lens is mostly known for the Assange trial in HN---the submitter has been very passionate about that if you look at the records. So my bet is slightly more positive.

I agree to your last paragraph though. It helps that Media Lens does have a consistency; consistency matters in the modern society because other qualities are much harder to verify.
Your current question sort of invites some flamey style arguments. I think you are asking:

The majority of the sites in the museum I captured using Charles proxy back in 2011. I have also included a few sites that Internet Archive had captured, but weren't functioning properly in the Wayback Machine due to either scripting or Flash requirements.

The changes vary. There are a number of instances of direct linking to content instead of using relative paths, which can usually be fixed pretty easily using FFDEC's in-place Action Script editor. Toward the last 8 or so years these sites were accessible, Rockstar started to remove certain trailers - likely due to music licensing. For these I've had to dig into Internet Archive and see if I can find the original SWF files before changes were made. If I cannot, I then decompile sites back into Flash projects and use an old copy of Creative Suite 6 I have access to in order to restore certain buttons and elements.

Ruffle still needs work but definitely has been improving. The project has been mainly focused on AS1&2 and has little/not-yet-working AS3 support. Sites like Vice City mostly work, but the background colors are off and sounds like the radio won't stop playing once started. Sites that Rockstar developed onward from 2006 like Liberty City Stories are a lot more broken at the moment unfortunately.
I am disgusted at all 3 political sides involved.

Most disgusted with EU/US, followed by Ukrainian government and finally by the Russian Government.

A war does not happen for no reason. Putin is a known to be a rational actor. Obviously ordinary people do not want war.
So you have to ask yourself, what events led to the war? What was done to prevent it?
What is done to stop it now?

Why am I disgusted with US/EU?
Firstly the double standards make me sick. I am not going to go further into this to avoid buTwHatAbout. The cancellation of everything Russian, the message that every Russian is responsible and statements that they want to choke the Russian economy makes me and my people feel hated. This is accepted xenophobia.

Secondly Russia has been clear since 2008 that it would rather go to war than let Ukraine join NATO. They absolutely should not have sponsored Ukrainian nationalist parties or ever had their troops or weapons set foot there. They have been (relatively) silent about what was going on in Donbass and Lugansk. I hosted two refugees from there. Truly horrific stories coming from there for 8 years, and the West just downplays it. It is very clear to me that the current UA government is a puppet of the West that takes advantage of support from western Ukrainians who are quite different from central and eastern Ukrainians.

Thirdly they are now actively encouraging war by sending weapons, by pre training the troops there. My uncle was in Ukrainian Armed Forces, he quit and left back to our family in Russia because they were constantly brainwashed to hate Russia and everything Russian.

Now Ukraine, their leader is either a puppet or incredibly stupid. If he was warned for months that Russia is going to invade and has 190,000 troops at his borders while warning against NATO relationships. He comes out and says Ukraine will work to join NATO and will also develop its own nuclear weapons?? His recent actions feel like they intentionally are chosen to make it as difficult as possible for the next regime that will be installed rather than what would be best for the Ukrainian people. Like it or not he should understand that if the worlds largest nuclear power wants its neighbor disarmed from enemy weapons, it will be.

Finally the Russian government. I really wish they went with another approach. But I don't know what to suggest, don't do anything and let the West have its way? Continue talks that have been going on in circles for 8 years? Bomb the military infrastructure and leave it at that? I would have probably went with this but who knows what the consequences would be compared to now.
I can see where they are coming from. The last time we had to defend the narrow UA/Belarus - West border we lost almost 30mil lives. Now if that border becomes much longer and a NATO - Russia border, flat and so close to all key cities - that is an existential threat. And the fact that the West doesn't seem to respect that and can't even give a NATO moratorium on Ukraine to avoid war makes me feel really uneasy.
This is sound advice for pretty much any product, not just hardware.

> without allowing enemy propaganda to poison gullible part of population uncontested

With all due respect but this paternalistic approach to what people should and shouldn't be allowed in knowing is a despicable point of view. Why do you think that you personally, or anyone can be sufficiently impartial to decide what's allowed?

> who would risk nuclear escalation to retaliate for Latvia or Estonia?

That's the very point of the existence of NATO. If NATO doesn't retaliate, it could as well not exist. Fortunately the Western reaction to Putin's invasion helped to unite NATO and everybody knows that if we give in, there is no reason why Putin should stop at any defined point.
"Russian culture isn't conducive to innovation. So russia shouldn't be forced to respect intellectual property. If it weren't for stolen IP russia would have no IP."

Great argument, Putin.
No, hopefully not!

This is Russia's way of depopulating a nation it's attacking, with the aim of replacing those displaced people with its own. In the past, those populations would be deported, typically to Siberian gulags (Baltic peoples, Crimean Tatars, etc.) or just massacred (Circassian genocide).

It's a tactic repeated over decades and centuries. That's why there's usually a Russian-speaking population in all their conquered territories.

Don't fall for it!
Their tactics. Unless their command is retarded which I don’t think they are. But their tactics imply a super fast surrender of Ukraine and the resignation/arrest/death of Ukrainian leadership.

BTRFS has been stable for years now as long as you don't use unsupported features like the aforementioned RAID5. A properly set up btrfs system is fine for production use, though note the "properly set up" bit, as a good number of distros still don't set it up right. I suspect the latter bit is why people continue to have issues with it (which is definitely a big downside compared to something like ZFS's "no admin intervention required" policy).

Regardless, in-place conversion is specifically a feature of btrfs due to how its designed. Since it doesn't require a lot of fixed metadata, you can convert a fs in-place by throwing the btrfs metadata into unallocated space and just point to the same blocks as the original fs. I think it even copies the original fs's metadata too, so you can mount the filesystem as either the original or btrfs for a while.

Good point. It really does seem like the US uses NATO countries as proxies for its global imperialism campaign.
"We can't do with 'no questions asked' because when people come to the UK we need to make sure they are supported," he said.

The whole point of a schema to support genuine refugees (and I'm pretty sure people fleeing a war zone are those) is that the state supports them while they are forced out of their homeland.
Vaccinations rates are 65% of the population only 15% higher than 6 months ago.

The people who are going for misinformed political brownie points are the Liberal states who know if they don't lift the covid restrictions during a voting year they will be removed from office which is extremely sick and hypocritical if you ask me, especially after demonizing republicans who stuck to their priniciples.
There are differences, but honestly it's laughable to think that USA considers democracy as one of the major values for an alliance.
> If I copy a digital asset the loss is hypothetical. It only exists if the condition holds true that I would have purchased the item if I hadn't been able to just copy it.

This argument never held up. By taking it, you admit it has value to you. Whether or not you agree with the asking price is incidental: you have to acknowledge you are taking something with some value and not paying for it.

I've pirated my fair share of software and media, and had my own software pirated. I'm not judging anybody for pirating software, but I am calling out specious self-justifications about doing so. You pirate it because it's cheaper and easier than paying for it.
You don't really sound like you know what you are talking about.
"very dim room"...
They wouldn't have to share them with an EU army, they could leave them for "national use" only and avoid any possibility of escalation.

Now the EU Army being a non-nuclear entity would make anyone using nuclear army against them "the villain" and onward one could easily justify using "all means" (there's stuff there I'd say even nastier than nuclear...) against them, so a "moral" deterrent could work fine in practice (since everyone knows you're technologically capable of developing the really nasty stuff if anything motivates you to...).
