> That said, I sadly doubt Ukraine will survive this ordeal.

Well, not if Russian and Ukrainian diplomats can get it together and see this conflict to a amicable conclusion. Ceasefire has to be top priority for the Ukrainian diplomats (as in, liberally accept conditions that stops the war). Whatever the new arrangement for the two countries look like will also probably take weeks, if not months, to draft up and agree to.

With their risky foreign policy, NATO dared Russia, and they called their bluff on it. It is time to accept that Russia didn't hesitate, and it'd be very prudent to move to limit the damage instead. That is, NATO should refrain from making matters worse by feeding the war, as it were, by arming Ukraine's civilians and sanctioning Russian business interests, among other things.

China isn't siding with NATO, and so far, India hasn't too (it may not, since in the century gone by, Russia has bailed out India in multiple wars against CENTO / US-aided Pakistan).

In sum, this is a dangerous enough situation to escalate any further as the West has done, even if without sending its military.
>VP9 should be available since Mesa 18.1 (or so) for VCN-based GPUs (i.e. Raven Ridge and newer).

Yeah, in theory it's available, but good luck actually getting your browser to use it to HW decode YouTube videos under linux out of the box.

It usually works fine with video players like mplayer but not in browsers.

There are endless threads online about this not working. I for one, never managed to get it to work in any browser. What a mess.

Your money is insured, your brokers are insured. They just manage the risk differently than people directly in the tech world. Even though banks are right in the middle of it.

A good analogy for banks risk mitigation is like putting up a guard rail in front of a cliff. It's up to the user how high the rail gets set. Like daily limits, notifications, initial passwords, 2fa etc.

For the most part, banks and brokers want to reduce the friction of events.
Death is generally not an event, it is a process; there is a period of time (sometimes several days) where you slowly go from something to nothing.

But the world isn't divided into Russia, NATO, and countries no one cares if they're invaded. Just because a country is part of NATO, doesn't mean that that country can't respond to an invasion of a non-NATO country. And just because a country isn't part of NATO, doesn't mean they wouldn't help NATO either.
Ukraine war: 'My city's being shelled, but mum won’t believe me'
I'm struggling to see what your point is here.

> There must be some way to restrain this relentless desire to cocoon everything in layers of legal entanglement.

It's very simple. We, in most countries, live in a legal system where creations default to maximum IP protection rather than minimum IP protection.

Everyone has their own opinion about that - and it's fascinating to read all of them - but this is the world we live in. Some people seem to have trouble understanding that and have retreated to the imaginary land of Shouldistan.

> Proper use as recommended on the site has zero legal ambiguity.

See above: we are not in Shouldistan.

> The CC0 suggestion is especially ironic since that has not approved. It doesn't actually exist as a legal standard which makes it unappealing.

They are words. They have meaning. The licence text doesn't need to 'exist' in whatever ontology you've dreamed up. You can write your very own licence and it will have legal effect by dint of the fact that words have meaning.

> The OSI, FSF, FANG and other such companies, and the European Union need to get over the idea that they can and even must dictate all aspects of intellectual property ownership as they see fit.

The European Union can dictate all aspects of intellectual property ownership as it sees fit[0]. The others don't, nor do they think they can, because that would be stupid, and none of those groups are (that) stupid. I don't know what you're referring to in suggesting that they believe that. I'm not altogether sure that you do either.

Again, you (very likely) do not personally dictate the law of the land where you live, so you'll have to suck it up and write a licence that conveys the legal restrictions (or lack thereof) that you intend to apply to your code.

I'm sorry that we don't live in a land where the law is exactly as you want it to be. You can stay in Shouldistan, raging against the fact that the world isn't exactly as you would like it to be, or you can get smart, grit your teeth, accept that the world is imperfect, and negotiate it as best you can to achieve your goals.

Bad engineering has nothing to do with it. Engineers have been making ICE vehicles for more than a hundred years and EV's are relatively new.

ICE vehicles have endured every known failure you can think of and car manufacturers have fixed all of these...over time.

It will take some time before all the snafu's with EV's are ironed out. Tesla is at the forefront since its more of a tech-company than a car manufacturer.

BTW: Volkswagen and Mercedes already have heat-pumps in their EV's.
Digression: I've had dreams where I am a completely different person; different body, different personality, different memories, different family, etc... and it's only upon waking up and reorienting myself to myself (whatever "myself" is) that I can relate to the dream self (such as "wow, I enjoyed being that other person, I wish I could be more like that in real life" or "I am disturbed to have experienced being that person, I don't want to be like that").

It creates weird questions... Does that person (or the possibility of that personality) exist independently of me, or is it made of me? Does that personality cease to exist upon waking, or is it "absorbed" into me? Where did "I" go when experiencing that other selfhood? What role (if any) does memory play in the continuation of consciousness?

This hits close to home:

> JOHNSON: For me, this is where the idea of splitting out those levels of seniority — so maybe you don’t become the manager, but you become a technical expert and you are paid and rewarded for that — is something that helps with the incentives. What I would say on that, though, is often we have this dual-career track of, “Okay, you can be a manager, or you can be a technical specialist.” But even though you might get a quote-unquote promotion and be paid more, the technical specialists still might be excluded from high-level conversations. [...]

Being an IC, I usually find out about a technical direction that arose out of management discussions and by the time I hear about it it's usually too far along to change course of, and have to watch it play out. At best it's a learning experience, that can refine the next attempt. Other times it's a rabbit-hole with no light at the end of the tunnel. Fortunately this usually happens on other projects, but sometimes I join a project mid-way and there's redesign that happens along the way, or banked for v2. This is a symptom of a top-down style of company management. A more technically managed company with former engineers all the way to the CEO are less likely to be this way. Unfortunately as even those companies grow, and more layers of management are added, not every link in the chains can be so-minded and there's a disconnect.

There's usability benefit in reloading to reset state and it's the common expectation when browsing. Regardless, if you do decide to add it then its a few lines of code to persist all forms on the page.

SPAs don't automatically provide any state management, and often the complexity requires even more work to manage forms. This is the complaint here, taking a simple requirement and forcing a webapp into it. It's completely unnecessary.
I've never used Google's support, but AWS support isn't good either. They lack reading comprehension, give braindead answers to questions, and have less access than you do, so even a competent support person couldn't diagnose or fix anything that you couldn't yourself.

I'm convinced that unless support is stellar, it's a complete waste of time and money.
To continue that quote from above:

> A rationale for this is presented in Appendix A Strength of Memorized Secrets.

The relevant part of which reads:

> The minimum password length that should be required depends to a large extent on the threat model being addressed. Online attacks where the attacker attempts to log in by guessing the password can be mitigated by limiting the rate of login attempts permitted...

>

> Offline attacks are sometimes possible when one or more hashed passwords is obtained by the attacker through a database breach. The ability of the attacker to determine one or more users’ passwords depends on the way in which the password is stored. Commonly, passwords are salted with a random value and hashed, preferably using a computationally expensive algorithm. Even with such measures, the current ability of attackers to compute many billions of hashes per second with no rate limiting requires passwords intended to resist such attacks to be orders of magnitude more complex than those that are expected to resist only online attacks.

I worked on Identity, Credentialing and Access Management (ICAM as it's known) in the Federal space for a while.

The U.S. Fed Gov has been implementing MFA with smart cards since 2001. While there are pockets of ineptitude and resistance, the vast majority of government employees and contractors use a hard token second factor.

Security is a property of a system, so analyzing a particular password policy outside of the given context (mandatory hard token MFA) is nonsense.
Because storage media can be shared and lost.

If you're logging in from a library computer, you don't want the hassle of putting your privkey file on it and wiping it later. (Or connecting a USB drive, which may be a security hazard for the library)

If you lose your computer, you still remember your password, but your only copy of your privkey may be lost. Losing hard drives is common for non-power users, because they don't do regular backups, and they often don't know that you can trivially recover files from, e.g. a laptop with a broken screen that won't boot.

And computerized cell phones are actively trying to convince those non-power users that files don't even exist, to protect their profits.
"It's plain to see that the inherent coordination problems facing workers are much harder than the ones facing managers"

It is not plain to me. Employers are just people too, but if they try to conspire with other employers they must do so in secret lest their conspiracy be discovered and punished. Your example of wage fixing in the valley shows this in action perfectly. Yet if employees want to do the exact same thing for the exact same ends (manipulating labor prices), they are not only allowed to do it in the open, conferring great advantages, but they are also protected by the government from any sort of retaliation. They may even be allowed to use company property to organize with!

It's pretty clear therefore that labor has the advantage here.

"Please explain how history has repeatedly shown capitalists more ready, willing, and able to exploit their position"

It hasn't. That's a Marxist trope, not an accurate reading of history. History is full of businesses going bankrupt or being outcompeted because of rising labor costs, or indeed, being exploited by unions. The history of Detroit is a good example of that, or the entire British auto industry. Alternatively, look at all the software companies struggling to compete with FANG-boosted wages. It's hardly an environment where capitalists are exploiting the workers.

Having cars be "aggressive" in this context basically means they flow into the voids more readily.

U.S. calls Russian attack on Ukraine nuclear power plant a “war crime”
My grandfather's parents came to work in the mills at Manchester, NH USA. My grandfather was born there in 1904. His parents made some money and went back to Poland.

Soon after WWI he and his friends were riding a motorless German motorcycle down a hill and he broke his leg. He never told his dad because he was afraid he'd be beaten.

My grandfather got involved in the Polish mafia and was involved in a ring that was stealing grain from farmers, in the interwar period he had a choice of going to jail or going to the US (where he had citizenship because he was born here) so he came back to Manchester.

Gus was always proud of being Polish in fact he kept going to a Polish church, stayed involved with Polish organized crime, etc. When my dad wanted permission to marry my mom (a challenge because my dad was French Canadian) he was told that Gus was working at the bar on Sunday at the Polaski club (when bars aren't supposed to be open.) My dad figured he was cleaning the tables but when my dad arrived he found the bar was open, Gus was tending it, and two city aldermen were drinking there.

When WWII came along Gus volunteered to fight (to defend Poland and Europe as a whole) but they rejected him because of his broken leg.

So you can be an immigrant to the US, love the US, love the country you came from, love the immigrant community that you're a part of. It all goes together.

Oslo is on the ocean. While the arctic ocean is cold, it's still water. If the air temperature drops below the temperature of the water, the ocean will release heat and warm up the air.

It is very difficult to get it colder than the water. Note also that Oslo is on a warm current - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Corrient... - the Norwegian current is a continuation of the Gulf Stream (compare the California current which is a cold one)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo

> Oslo has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfb)[48] or, if the original Köppen winter threshold −3 °C (27 °F) is used, an oceanic climate (Cfb) in the 1991–2020 base period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_climate

> Examples of oceanic climates are found in Glasgow, London, Bergen, Amsterdam, Dublin, Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Bilbao, Oviedo, Biarritz, A Coruña, Bayonne, Zürich, Copenhagen, Prague, Skagen, and Paris. With decreasing distance to the Mediterranean Sea, the oceanic climate of northwest Europe gradually changes to the subtropical dry-summer or Mediterranean climate of southern Europe

> The oceanic climate exists in an arc spreading across the north-western coast of North America from the Alaskan panhandle to northern California, in general the coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. It includes the western parts of Washington and Oregon, the Alaskan panhandle, western portions of British Columbia, and north-western California.

Compare this to the continental climates.

With no large bodies of open water, the air temperature is not moderated by the release of heat from the water and can go further to extremes on both ends.
> If NATO enters this war it will make Iraq look like an overly rough game of laser tag in comparison.

In the long run, NATO might not have a choice, and then it becomes a question about who picks the time to their advantage. Right now it looks like the Russian Army miscalculated and is quite vulnerable in Ukraine. However if they're allowed to grind away to a victory, they may very learn from their mistakes, fix their issues, and be emboldened to take on a NATO country (say, one of the Baltics), from a stronger position.

If opposing the Russian Army (while they're invading an ally) unacceptably risks nuclear war, then there's really no option except cede to them whatever they want and hope that someday they'll be satisfied with less than all of it.

We effectively have this now with PCI-DSS (requirements imposed by credit-card processing companies), and it sucks because of the bureaucracy involved in making any change.

It has take literally over a decade to relax the requirement for password rotation from 3mo to 1yr for employee accounts of companies that process CC payments, despite industry knowledge and formal studies saying that frequent password rotation was detrimental and useless.

Instead of defining the process, state the outcome you want and set penalties on failing to meet the outcome.

E.g. "don't have password leaks, or it will cost $1k per account paid directly to the account holder" (or your percent of gross, split among leaked accounts). Let companies implement those controls however they wish, as long as they are achieving the outcome and penalties are actually being applied.

I agree that failures need to have significant penalties, otherwise companies will decide that the penalty costs less than the prevention (which is true today) and minimize their investment in security.

Well-presented 'truths', according to whose perspective?

eg: "reducing roadside bombs is an objectively good goal"

Well, from one perspective - who wants more roadside bombs?!

But if the road side bombs are being put in place by the natives of a country to make things harder for what the natives perceive to be an invading force, to help prevent the occupation and destruction their country, perhaps this is a valid act? Perhaps you would think defending your country against an invader is valid. So, from that perspective, what is the problem with a road side bomb when you are fighting an invading force that can call in airstrikes. Taking action against a far more powerful force in defence of your country is heroic.

The problem with all 'presentations of the truth' is that its not a presentation of truth at all. There is no unbiased perspective. But if you are able to broadcast your message via a megaphone (via the media) loudest you probably 'win' - by lying to everyone.

So, who has 'the truth'? Does the government that pays your paycheck?

You are simply creating and broadcasting the message you have been told to - it is your job - you do what you are told for money. Right or wrong and truth have nothing to do with it. You may think you are doing 'right' but all your are doing is accepting the comforting provided illusions that your paymasters are providing you with to enable you to do that job. They say it is 'right' because it suits their agenda, and you accept that because it suits yours (money and not feeling bad about what you do).

You are not expressing truth, nor is what you are doing aligned with your personal morality, if you even have a personal morality.
