Technically, OneWeb is already in commercial service and already making money with beta customers, although probably not much.

It has no debt and plenty of funding considering its relatively low burn rate, (from their latest financial report on their website).

Putting Kuiper even in the same page, is a stretch. If all goes to plan, Kuiper will have 2 prototype sats up in late 2022. That’s less than 0.1% of the full rollout. So at best Kuiper is looking at 2024-2026.

Average client does not care about which telco they use, at most they care about download speeds (which can all be very similar, accounting for having less customers, those sats with lower throughput). Fanciest tech does not mean much in this space, it’s an ISP not a laptop. The 50B revenue currently in the satcom market, is not made up of clients benchmarking very thoroughly. 32ms vs 34ms or a slightly better or worse handover will not determine where all those 50B go.

It’s still yet to be proven that the +20B Starlink or 10B Kuiper are costing is gonna be even sustainable on a 5yr basis. Given Starlink’s > ~5% satellite failure rate and its very short lifespan of 5yrs.
OneWeb at ~2B total cost (thanks to clearing all debt pre Ch11) and an order of magnitude lower failure rate and double the lifespan does not sound such a bad deal.

Besides, there’s plenty of satcom business to be sold, while OneWeb will certainly get a much smaller share of the market, telcos, governments and military can pay for OneWeb’s 2B cost and plenty more in some years time.
There is a dark strand in many fundamentalist Christian and Islamic beliefs that portend a judgement day brought on by world destroying calamity. There are evangelical Christian’s who cheer on for a nuclear conflict between Israel and their Muslim neighbors because it will bring about this prophesy.

I think this can explain a portion of people who want escalate our current situation. I’m terrified by these people and their motives.

Most opinions are not based on "lived experiences", but journalism and movies. They will select the pattern for you.
Sure it wasn't detecting that the pot on top wasn't magnetic and wouldn't heat up? My little portable induction burner is smart enough to detect if the pot won't work and warns you/fails to start.
As terrible as that may sound I wonder if they thought about the idea to move nuclear reactors back into big cities for the convenience of the people working in them. Sound as if they neither see a problem with that.

How is it easy? Does your country's dictator regularly invade neighbors without so much as pretext and targets civilians?
Anyone who’s tried to learn native app development, especially on Mac or iOS, will know that it’s a massive pain in the backside. Documentation is sparse, located in exactly one place, not readable on mobile (!!! the ultimate in irony), formerly available but now deleted, or only available in live video presentation format. I blame the OS vendors as much as anyone.
It's a long border. Honest question - is it all well patrolled?
I do, because I believe we should call Putin's bluff. He wouldn't dare to shoot down NATO planes above Ukraine and would have to back down. In line with that, I don't believe NATO planes shooting down russian planes above Ukraine or vice versa would lead to a nuclear escalation.
The main advantage of JWT, at least the advertisement historically, has been they are stateless and scalable, but that black list makes the system stateful again and you loose out on most(or all scalability) benefits. I think how much you loose depends on the specifics of the implementation, you definitely seem to loose any simplicity of design though from what I have read/worked with.
So you think it's realistic to expect that there is a coup in Russia and the country spriral in to chaos years to come?

Russia's economy will decline and Putin will be replaced, but it won't happen fast enough (and that disruptive) for it to make impacts on this war.

Countries with smaller economies like Cuba and Vietnam survived sanctions for years and there was no coup.
> I think Russia is being ‘canceled’.

Jesus this term really has lost all meaning at this point, hasn't it.
> We ran into trouble at some point with critical thinking

I’m more worried about democracy than I am about a seeming decline in critical thinking skills. The latter is more than likely just a flawed perception created by the internet giving the masses a voice they’ve never had before. As for the former: the very fact we perceive “our critical thinking skills” to be in decline based on the musings of the masses is evidence of the perils of democracy.
That’s my impression as well. Almost always when people advocate narrow tests without mocks they end up using something that’s not called a mock but ultimately isn’t distinguishable from a mock.

Which I don’t think necessarily invalidates the article (which I’ve only skimmed so far, but already strikes me as having a lot going for it), just some terminology used. It’s perfectly reasonable, regardless of terminology, to say: here are some techniques that encourage testability and high confidence in those tests. And it appears to me there’s a lot of that in the article. So with that said, I’m gonna go give it a more thorough read :)

I'm a bit disappointed that people with little connection to Asia are still making a big fuss about wet markets and exotic animals.

In March 2020, it was natural for people to leap to conclusions, because the only thing anyone knew about the coronavirus was that it "came from" a Wuhan market with weird animals.

Weird is socially relative. You eat pigs and pat dogs. Billions of people think that's weird and a bit gross. Fair enough, seeing how many diseases people have caught from them. Animals can carry germs that are dangerous to people. Wash your hands after you touch them.

Objectively, a wet market is just a slaughterhouse. Here's what, in 2022, you should deduce from the fact that the first large coronavirus outbreak occurred in a slaughterhouse: coronavirus outbreaks occur in slaughterhouses. Obviously some animal carried the virus to the Wuhan market. It's very likely that animal was human, because of all the species there, only humans are known to catch the virus. Even if you found an infected pangolin, you'd have to suspect it caught the virus from its handlers.
pretty much the same conclusion here.

i believe what makes sense to me. thank you for writing this out. we have built a system that incentivizes all the wrong things. or leaves people engaging in those with no clear consequences for their actions, which reinforces their behavior.

i am not too optimistic about online discourse at this point.
Presumably you'd liek to repeal all consumer protection and environmental protection laws. Sheesh.
I see no parameterized queries on the article. The title is misleading.
> the main bridge in Lisbon, Portugal (Ponte de 25 abril) was built by the same company as the golden gate bridge

I don't think this is true, according to Wikipedia, the Golden Gate Bridge was build by McClintic-Marshall, and the Ponte de 25 abril by the American Bridge Company [0]. You might be confusing this with the Bay Bridge [1], which was build by the same company and also had rail service until 1963.

This is not true. In fact, in the context of this discussion, the opposite is true, that is to say, there are many HOAs (i.e. corporations) that prohibit hanging clothes outside, but there are actually several state laws which ban such prohibitions, so this is actually a case where regulations are protecting people's freedoms, not restricting them, like your comment implies.
To me the likeliest scenario is still:

- Z and P after further destruction of Ukraine agree to ceding Crimea and some Eastern Ukraine and promise not to host nukes just to stop further carnage. Russia throws in some funds to rebuild
> constantly changing so it seems impossible to know ahead of time that you are actually getting better service with a higher cost

The main variables are legroom, food, and bags. First class gives you all of them. Premium economy gets you legroom (and possibly food, but at $12 for a snack box, I don't stress over it). Offerings are pretty consistent across the legacy carriers. Free checked bags haven't been a thing for a long time. The budget carriers like Spirit nickel and dime you for literally everything, but that's their thing. Southwest is weird.

Unless you're on a discount carrier, you'll get food and alcohol on all long-haul flights.
> Yes we should defend our allies in NATO as that's the agreement.

Will you want WW3 in that case?
Which episode was that?
For me the only good solution is beating Russian army to the borders of Russia and no step further, using only conventional methods (regardless of what Putin decides to do about the nukes). Then all bordering nations joining NATO and some EU.

And sealing Russia economically completely while developing bordering states. And gradually allowing Russia to rejoin global economy on the condition of demilitarization of Russia. At first it might be that the only thing west should be allowed to buy from Russia is their war machines no matter how old or crappy.

In a fashion akin to buyback of guns in Australia.

NATO needs to win this and needs to win this with conventional methods and economy. Nothing else.
I would think, the US or practically any other country would have a huge incentive to be able to blame China for this entire mess. And those incentives would far outweigh having to move a few labs. Plus, "It's China's bad practices that put the world at risk, not the great wonderful lab practices that happen in the US." That would be the line.

There would also be notoriety for the person that would blow the lid off a lab leak. There are plenty of other industries that have eaten there own.
To replace Evernote I'm actually really happy with Apple's own Notes app. It's native, it syncs with iCloud, you can read your notes on the web, it supports rich text, per-note encryption, checklists, and multiple folders.

It's good.
Russian citizens did not cause this war...
So what's the alternative? I can not trust global institutions all I want and rely on alternatives for everything, but would I be able to trust the alternatives, and what would stop powerful institutions from butting in all the same?

Wouldn't it be just easier to fix our institutions so that we can trust and rely on them?

The crypto economy for example is full of sharks. It's a bigger, insider, scammer dog eats smaller, outsider, bagholder dog world and there is no fixing it. It's a zero sum game. It's unsustainable. It's inhumane. It's too simple to hold up any practical economy at scale.
I have a problem with Electron, personally. I think it's a rational thing to complain about. I just don't think that misrepresenting your case is a good thing.
There are some cloud sync workflows but the size of the raw files has also grown substantially over the years. Raws on my rx100 are 20+MB and the raws on the 50mpix cameras are correspondingly larger. In general I have found that Sony is not so good on the software side. It remains fastest, at least as of two years ago, to sync with a physical cable or with an SD card drive.

Sony is very much a serious contender now. For a number of years they were the undisputed leader in a few areas, mainly value for money and autofocus performance. Everyone complains about Sony menu ergonomics although I personally don't find it to be much of a hindrance. There seems to be some evidence that canon and Nikon are catching up on some of the performance metrics.

On the other hand, for a long time Sony suffered from a shallower catalog of lenses but that grows less and less true by the day. For example they just released a trio of enthusiast compact prime lenses that according to reports I've read rival the best lenses of this type through history.

On the dpreview article about the camera you can see some spec sheet-level comparisons.

Even if it came from a lab it was an accident. Murder requires intent.
Seems to me like it will depend entirely on how well the rest of the world can survive without paying for Russia's oil.
I don’t think you’ve said anything terribly controversial. Men weren’t picky (they date down, because they value other factors besides education and ambition), women are picky, and there just aren’t enough men they desire to go around. Expectations minus reality equals happiness. Adjust your expectations if that’s required to meet your happiness objectives, otherwise be comfortable being single.

But beauty is essential for a lot of people in the workplace in 2022, and you can’t get beauty when you wake up naturally after only 6hrs. It’s sad but it’s a reality, as a manager in IT.
When you realise “bubble” just means “loose group of people I tend to have a lot of overlapping views and interests with”, then you are just saying “is the reason you think this is bad is because of your views on what is bad” and… well, yeah.

I think you can assume that it does occur to most of us that we are all in a bubble to some extent, and that it’s important to be aware of that when forming your own views. It’s also totally possible for someone to come to a firm conclusion about the morality of a particular act without it having to be the effect of a bubble.

It’s easy to picture someone reasonably aware of the context of the invasion, including the restriction of water supplies to Crimea, NATO expansion, the background to the separatist conflicts, Euromaidan, the Azov Battalion, and all the other bits and pieces that we’ve all seen countless articles about over the past two weeks. It doesn’t seem invalid for that person to have a reasonably well-informed view that the actions of Russia are Very Extremely Bad Indeed and that there are “few gray areas”, does it?
Are you sure the world would react the way you expect to a NATO shoot down? To a nuke in Poland? Maybe our side isn’t willing to roast 100s of millions of Russians if push came to shove.
Interesting. I would still insist on not doing it that way, especially when writing a library for universal use. First of all, string replacement on structured input is an immediate red flag. Second, even if you get handling the structured input right by parsing the statement into an AST and replacing the leaves that are placeholders with the escaped strings, there are still potential vulnerabilities. For example, mysql_real_escape_string is still vulnerable when being used with some exotic character sets [1].

I don't know the internals of the (binary) protocol used for communication with the MySQL server though. Couldn't one just save the extra round-trip with length-prefixed strings by sending the query together with the parameters in a single message?

As someone else commented - "I'm not worried about nuclear war - I'm worried I won't be caught in the blast radius"
You know... when most people have no idea what they're talking about they seek clarity instead of writing 4 paragraphs of fantasy.

But you do you.

These systems don't trigger for "potentially bad" behavior like speeding, they trigger when you drive like an intoxicated or impaired driver.

Intentionally acting like an impaired drive is like intentionally walking like you're drunk... gravity doesn't care if you were pretending to stumble, you're still coming down.

So it doesn't matter if you intended to veer in and out if your in your lane with barely any steering torque being applied... that's how you cause an accident.

If you were dodging obstacles you'd be applying sharper input than a drunk person. You can't "fake" drunk without being a danger to yourself and others.
Care and buses are generally not an option. You cannot exit Russia (sic!) on a car/bus/legs unless you have a specific travel purpose and "tourism" or "just because I want to" is not one of them. This was one of COVID-related restrictions and it's still in effect.

Trains are somewhat better, I guess: the Allegro train between Saint Petersburg and Helsinki is open for Russian/Finnish citizens only, but does not require special travel reason.
I stopped taking advice like this seriously when my wife became pregnant.

You'd have one group of "experts" saying you shouldn't eat fish, a second saying you should eat as much fish as you can (common advice in Japan, apparently), and a third saying you should just continue as usual[1].

Of course, nobody ever tests their theories because that would risk killing a baby.

If potatoes were actually dangerous, they'd have a big red label on every bag, in 6 languages, telling you to throw them out if they have slight bits of green on them. Perhaps a little colour chart that tells you how green is too green.

Of course, they don't, and the industry hasn't been sued into oblivion, so based on that I'd be shocked if they were as poisonous as this article suggets.

[1] All advice we read recommends pregnant women limit intake of high-mercury fish such as shark and tuna, and I think there might be actual evidence for this one too.
> Breitbart is an editorial/propaganda magazine, not a news source. Why would you go there for anything?

I think that label can be applied to most "news" sources these days.

To answer your question specifically though, it is because they report on events that other places don't, based on their particular bias.

I would support war if a NATO country is attacked. I don't want any war.

I don't support annexing problematic countries into NATO, especially those that border on adversaries or expand to them.

I support defending the status quo of NATO, not world policing.
That's not nuclear escalation. Assuming that is taking Putin at his word. Which is worth nothing.
Furthermore... how would one even remove Objective-C? It's the glue that holds everything together in macOS[0]; removing it would be like removing COM from Windows. Apple would need to rewrite all of their public frameworks in Swift and remove the Objective-C bridges... and, at that point, why stop at just removing Objective-C? Why not kill AppKit while we're at it and make UIKit the only way to present a window[1] to the display? At that point, nobody is going to bother rewriting their apps[2], and the Mac loses all it's developer support.

[0] And, for that matter, most of their other operating systems.

[1] WindowScene, technically

[2] Astute fans of macOS history might remember this sounding quite familiar. When Steve Jobs bought Apple with Apple's money, he wanted to basically continue NeXT as it was (even the Windows NT port) and replace System 7 entirely with lightly-rebranded OPENSTEP 5 and a VM (dubbed the "penalty box"). This failed so dramatically the whole project was cancelled/rebranded as "OSX Server", and Apple announced Carbon to provide Classic APIs with minimal changes on OSX.
I second this question. In the last few days I've heard pretty heavy reference to "people cheering on nuclear war" but haven't seen it first hand anywhere. A link to an opinion piece that explicitly states this, or even a few high-profile twitter accounts espousing this view would at least convince me it's happening.

Heck, even browsing reddit comments and hacker news comments I've seen no view encouraging nuclear war. Even 4chan doesn't seem to have any posts proclaiming this view.

Which they created in 2015, after we threatened SWIFT removal for the Crimea invasion, along with a SWIFT alternative called SPFS.

It really wouldn't surprise me if the Russian state fully anticipated and expected these financial sanctions from the West, and have positioned themselves to profit from it after some short term pain.
I am not cheering it one but I think it may be sadly inevitable, and it scares the shit out of me. Putin thinks he can't back down with out loosing face and looking weak which from his prospective is a danger to him from both internal and external threats.

The Great Fracturing of American Attention
The really depressing part is that the research project in question (where they introduced a furin cleave site into a coronavirus) has been known since early 2020. Newsweek had the link to the research project on the NiH website in March.

And not just are they still stonewalling
https://theintercept.com/2022/02/20/nih-coronavirus-research...
but the person in charge of the ecohealth alliance project in question is the leading source for any "debunking" of the lab leak hypothesis. Peter Daszak. Who also lead the WHO mission into figuring out the origins in China.

This is a conflict of interests. Something Daszak has experience with, when he didnt disclose his in the first lancet paper painting lab leak as racist conspiracies. A paper he orchestrated and a conflict of interest the Lancet later acknowledged.

There is an unwillingness to have a rational conversation about the likelihood of the furin cleavage site mutation occurring naturally with no trace in nature vs it escaping from a lab where we know such modifications were made to coronaviruses. Simply because Daszak said a lab leak was impossible and Fauci (Whos NiH funded the project) denied that Daszaks work was even gain of function research. And that has been enough for 2 years.

edit: They have had the possibility for two years to actually debunk this by simply releasing what sequence project was working on. Its a publicly funded project btw. They havent and they apparently wont.
