So storming the US Capitol is okay, and to be expected in the future? What will you say when Democrats do it? Will it be insurrection in that case? I mean, explicitly stating the purpose is to overturn the election. When does it become insurrection, exactly? Does it not count when 'patriots' are doing it to 'save the country'?
Broadcasting uses a highly limited resource, local TV freqiencies. Especially until recently, these were really limited to a dozen or so channels per metro area.

That activity monitor caught my mom's cancer early enough that it was treatable. My looked at the activity, said no way, checked and her heart rate was too high so went in to get it checked.

Most activity monitoring isn't useful but the exceptions are very valuable.
Idk about you but I remember Java applets being really slow, and the applet sandbox horribly insecure.
That's interesting. If they're not trying to persuade (and it doesn't appear so), then is the point of that to flex their power or what?
I'm sympathetic, but you're going to have to define some thresholds.

If I set up Paul's Video Hosting Service next week, and someone wants to post videos of kittens being tortured, I'm not hosting their videos. I'm not even hosting videos of a presidential candidate making certain pronouncements. No US court would agree that I should be forced to do so.

To whatever extent it is reasonable for YT to be forced to host any legal content, where's the boundary between the putative pvhs.com and youtube.com?
250 miles is a lower bound for range. For an unstealthy high flying target, 400 miles is more like it.

Russia considers legalizing piracy of software from sanction countries
Seems a bit weird, there is quite a story there [0]. In the grand scheme of things is looks like a pretty routine case of potential corruption, but that being associated with the president's son like a big deal. Vigorously suppressing the story was a pretty suspect move.

The complaint seems to be that the corruption he was probably involved in is slightly different than the corruption Trump was talking about. Which again, standard political fare but the crackdown on the story seems suspicious. If it had been Trump there is no way such a story would have been quietened down.

> they do sequester carbon by consuming carbon stores

They can't sequester any more carbon than was in the feed stock. And when you're trying to sell a biodegradable thing (which I think is laudable), this would have a minimal net effect on carbon for a material that is readily disposed and biodegrades within a few weeks. The benefits of reducing plastic waste, landfill, and pollution are obvious. The carbon benefits are less clear. Paper packaging from pulp waste comes directly from a photosynthetic resource, and may be found to be equivalent materials. So the argument for mushrooms as an intermediate seems like it needs more explanation -- to me anyway. Obviously, a bioplastic that never degrades is a far better carbon sink than a material that degrades readily, but then you are generating waste that must be stored somewhere indefinitely. Not a problem for a building material, but obviously not great for packaging. But I don't see how a building material made from mushrooms could ever sequester more carbon than, you know, wood.
I don't expect you to watch this full video but will leave it here for anyone who is curious about the broader context for this conflict.

TL;DR: The war didn't start last week. It has been ongoing since 2014 and involves horrible acts from both sides.

No, they don't average out and unfortunately we may never know what the 'truth' is here.

I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I will say after watching the video, the situation appears to be much more complicated than it is being depicted on western media.

YouTube is just a wolf in sheep's clothing; another media outlet disguised as a sharing platform.

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s a the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcom X
That's what I get for phone posting. Thanks for pointing it out you two!
Company still exists, it would simply change hands -- the new owners of the assets would be the creditors or some benefit corporation for the creditors. Only if the creditors thought running the service was unprofitable would the company cease to exist.
This is so painfully pedantic and obviously not what the original commenter meant. What point would a remote killswitch have to deter crypto miners if the owner of the card (the crypto miner) fully controlled it as you imply. Use your head.
Yandex's business is majority in Russia / near abroad. How do you propose using sanctions to shut down Russian search, Russian taxis, etc?
This is how I visualize numbers. 5 and 10 are the primary blocks. 7 is a 5 with a 2 on top that could either slide off or take 3 from another number. Great to see it being taught.
A single user, let alone a single employee, can certainly flag a variety of things. A user flag by itself seems unlikely to permaban a not-tiny customer, and maybe a single employee flag seems the same. However, employees are better positioned than the general public to understand the combination of small actions that will yield a big result when cranked through the mysterious nonlinear algorithm. The employee wouldn't have to understand the algorithm, because theoretically no one does. (Hello alibi!) She would just have to observe its judgments as part of her normal employment duties.
> I don’t buy “to get what they’re paying for” as a motivation at all. It’s a simple sunk cost fallacy. If a company is doing just as well or better with people at home at no extra cost to the company

To be fair, you and I don't have the metrics of these large companies. Plus, there are plenty of yet-to-be-seen consequences of remote-work. My team has recently hired a few new people, and so far their onboarding has been noticeably rougher. There's significantly less passive knowledge sharing, and Slack has not proven itself to be a good replacement of wheeling your chair to your neighbor's desk.

> it makes no sense to make everyone come back against their wishes. At best it’s making a decision that pisses off your employee base and has no upside.

Anecdotally speaking, almost every single coworker of mine is dying to go back to at least partial in-office. Personally, I love being able to work half the hours and avoid wasting a couple hour each day commuting, but I don't think I'm representative of the majority.
Oh interesting, thanks a lot for elaborating. Question: why would a memory-safe Rust program open a sensitive file like /proc/self/mem? Wouldn't that require corrupting memory somehow, which presumably the Rust compiler would be proving impossible? Or are you suggesting the file name might come from user input, and the user input would somehow find an exploit to redirect it to that file? Would that be possible/likely in any way for something like parsing?
It's semi-reported, the US has been flying AWACS around the clock and reported to be giving intel to Ukraine. Beyond that, this is kind of what you'd want an AWACS to do.
I'm with you on all points. Nazis are bad, of course. Invasions are bad. The reason I cared to comment is because Ukrainian Nazis are used as justification for the invasion in Russia.

But nazis exist in many countries, and are given legitimacy in many countries. In Ukraine they're paramilitary, in Russia they're a mercenary force, in Germany they sit in parliament (AFD), in US they have obvious affiliation with the political party that is in power half the time (and have strong legal protections for both their speech and guns).

All of that can be used as excuses to forcefully "denazify" a country, like Russia is doing now, but none of that are actually good reasons to invade those countries or deny any of those countries the right for independence, not even close.
It's hard, even heroic to confront the state. But the first thing is not to be one of these folks:

https://www.cnn.com/videos/media/2022/03/04/russia-media-ukr...

If it were possible to target sanctions directly at the war's cheerleaders, that would be great. It's not, and so sanctions harm Russians in the aggregate in the hopes of bringing down support in the aggregate.
No it's more about the importance of challenging bad ideas with good ones. All the justifications for spreading what we agree are lies are under the assumption that the value is in debunking them.
You have to forego the standard deduction if you want to itemize And take advantage of SALT deductions. Which means you have to owe more federal income tax than $12.5k for single filers and $25.1k for married filers.

No-fly zone is a highly disingenuous and misleading term meaning "we will fly our planes only and shoot down yours", so no, this isn't why they don't want a no fly zone. The reason they don't is because that would be an act of war and difficult to enforce.
Is there a reason to think one way or the other? I would think having something contradicting it in the same time that it is said would affect at least a portion of people.
Just wait. GPU mined currencies is pretty much exclusive to Ethereum which has dedicated plans to migrate away from PoW. Monero is set on PoW but uses a psuedo random mining challenge to thwart dedicated hardware and target all purpose CPUs - its targeting, not sure if its what you want.
I agree.

My preference is to leave all content up, but perhaps provide filters to users so they can choose to look at a bubble if they like. Or have an open standard for video data, on which anybody could build a UI layer.

Just saying, there's a clear double standard here. Saying the election was stolen due to collusion with Russians seems to be along awfully similar lines.

I'm happy to allow companies to do whatever they like, but the data needs to be decoupled from the UI then. Otherwise it's a natural monopoly.

I think history will see it that way, though it may take another decade or two.
Sberbank with 95% of its share price dropping in the past few days has problems of its own.
There you go, there was a pretty mainstream and "approved" campaign to try to get the electoral college voters to not vote for trump in 2016. It wasn't condemned as an attempt to undermine our election and democracy, but more as a heroic last ditch effort to save it which is very ironic lol.

One of the great things about COBOL is that it is really simple to learn and use. I wrote the only two COBOL programs I ever have (and I certainly don't want to write any more, but they were easy) which exctracted data from a CODASYL database, after flicking through a COBOL textbook for a couple of hours. This was back in the 1980s.

The real problem with learning COBOL is the surrounding infrastructure, such as CICS. Now, that is a bugger.

He was talking about the viability of injecting UV disinfectant, not bleach.

https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/cedars-sinai-statement...

This was released 3 days prior to his statement: https://irdirect.net/prviewer/release/id/4294930

> Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells

UV light was mentioned prior in the presser. Trump wasn't specific, but you can't say he said inject bleach, read the transcript for yourself:

https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-coronaviru...

It's disingenuous to say he was suggesting for people to inject bleach or disinfectant.

Even if he didn't clarify what disinfectant, he sure as hell didn't tell people to do anything, he was talking about research.
Swinging a hammer might be difficult but you have to understand that in those times most young men of working class would have a lot of experience swinging a hammer.

I have been raised on a farm when I would be doing a lot of various tasks like that. I observe how people who have not had that kind of experience are absolutely helpless when faced with tasks that require that require to use your hands with strength, dexterity and accuracy. I assume a hundred years ago people would have way more experience than I have.

So when we are talking about people having to be trained, I assume that most of them would already have extensive experience handling a hammer or an ax from early childhood.

Google translate picked out a key paragraph here:

However, according to Moscow Digital School teacher Oleg Blinov, piracy resolution is not a very effective step: “Today, most of the useful software is made in the form of subscriptions to a cloud product, this allows developers to secure the code that remains on their servers. Without subscriptions and access to a regular service, many tools will stop working.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russians are self sabotaging it. “Oh darn, the front fell off. Well, let’s turn ourselves in and get some hot food at least”

From some accounts I listened too their morale is quite low.
DNS names are limited spectrum, right? Granted a US government monopoly.

Last mile delivery by telephone and cable companies have government right of way monopolies.

But all this is silly. The phone company can’t decide to cancel my phone call because of what I’m saying. A law can stop YouTube.

Am Kenyan - Born and raised and I lived at the Kenyan Coast. Kiswahili is very widely spoken and loved here. I studied Kiswahili as a language and i very much admire the rich vocabulary and idioms. It is both a national and an official language in Kenya and most of Eastern Africa.

Majority of Kenyans and East-africans are multi-lingual and they will speak on average 3 languages (English, Kiswahili, the mother-tongue and most likely an additional local language.) if they are Bantu, they will also understand 3 or more other languages and same if they are Nilotic or Cushitic.

If your are foreigner, visiting for tourism - you will very much unlikely understand Kenyans! and if you are a foreigner of they type " i lived in Kenya for 10 years" most likely in a posh residence in Nairobi or Mombasa -- Kenyans are likely to have spoken to you in English throughout! Do not mistake that for the idea that Kenyans only speak in English - remember i said majority are multilingual and given that we have over 42 different languages - the language that mostly unites us is Swahili - it is also deemed less elitist.

The language is spoken across the entire East africa - (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique (Swahili name - Msumbiji), Burundi, Rwanda and Eastern DRC Congo.)

The article is an excerpt from a more detailed book and I agree with most it - but the author could have done a better job at investigating the origin of the language and early spread. It has borrowed heavily from Bantu, Arabic (countless words) and Portuguese (e.g. Pesa - money in Swahili, Meza - a table in Swahili).

I see you aren't aware that foreign companies can have local daughter companies that do business like any other local firms. And that Yandex has its operations smoothed over with the government long, long ago. Did you really think that one of the largest companies in the entire country, one of the leaders of the Runet, wouldn't talk about those things with the various agencies? Like, come into their offices and sit at a table with some of the agency's top dogs? Have you perhaps not heard of Yandex's ‘golden share’ owned, or previously owned, by Sberbank under explicit agreement with the government?

Yandex is not a neighborhood cornershop company.
No politicians and news channels in the UK telling people not to get vaccinated.

And yet when it would have mattered, they decided not to.

This is a path where all this censorship will lead to if they don't stop it. It will be as bad for the modern day Oligarchs as it was for the French nobility during the revolution, if they can't control it. But the problem is during the last year only more and more trust has been eroded.

It’s sad that youtube can choose what content to host?

As I suspect you know, his point was that it’s sad that YouTube is making politically motivated censorship decisions, just like China would. While we all know that Silicon Valley leans left, I think that those of us who want good things for the world would like to believe that these companies can check their politics at the door when it comes to running platforms that serve people across the political spectrum. Sadly, that’s not the case.

If YouTube identified itself as a partisan platform where speech that is not left leaning is in danger of being curtailed (which is what it is), I wouldn’t have a problem with these actions. But it masquerades as a neutral platform that is open to all, in the same way that CNN, MSNBC, and Fox masquerade as news outlets. That is a threat to democracy, because it creates the impression that only content which aligns with the platform owner’s political ideology is newsworthy or acceptable for viewing, and anything else is fringe.
The point is that if energy is produced using non-fossil-fuel sources, then increasing energy intensity of industrial processes will not necessarily output more CO2.

No, not for jamming. AWACS are supposed to be able to detect signals beyond the noise floor from very high distances passively.

There is no indication Ukraine has had much success with anything beyond MANPADS.
The ‘golden share’ has nothing to do with Sberbank's money. It's specifically an ultimate voting instrument, passed on to a government-owned company, under an agreement with the government that was worried about lack of control over Yandex.
