Can it be both? I do feel like this is at a nexus of action in fact.

Also sure its 4+months after the VA governors race but here in LA the mayoral election is up and its hot. So is the DA race...which honestly...how many voters can tell me what the DA even does outside of their exposure to law and order?

Sheer numbers of cases and deaths don't reflect the need to drop vigilance, esp to a level where no one wears masks regardless of vaccination status. Our president just announced months ago (over the holidays) that people who were unvaxxed were likely to die with a press release the equivalent of a :shrug: emoji.

This is definitely due to the wind down of the omicron cases but chance and luck is what will keep us from another wave, not droppings masks and having no vaccination mandates or having them sector by sector driven by industry.
> Large companies have gotten away with paying under market price for talent because employees have seen massive gains from stock appreciation over the last decade.

Are you sure these places pay "below market price"? Just curious, what companies would pay significantly more than FAANG?
> Both parties need to learn that if you lose it’s because voters just didn’t like you that much.

What you're saying is only true in a dream world where gerrymandering, closing polling places, and preventing access to ballot boxes (in-person or otherwise) isn't happening. Unfortunately this isn't the case. So, no, you are wrong.
Sorry you are in an authoritative country (Internet).
But it's the best we have found yet.
I'm an avionics engineer with commercial flight ops experience and I'm extremely skeptical of this hypothesis.
California is a big place, and that's not what the numbers look like in the Bay Area.

I actually don't think the numbers will rebound; once everyone is protected from delta+omicron that does _not_ mean a new variant can keep appearing forever. It has to be different from both of them for immune escape, and that gets harder each time.

Also, we have antivirals now (paxlovid) which we didn't have even a month ago and are very effective.
You have already accepted it, by continuing to work for a company that does it (regularly -- this is hardly a unique story).
I read an article (in Russian, will link later) outlining a plan to copy current BGP tables, update them so that the Russian internal internet space is encircled with government-controlled ASes, and filter or block any outside access, while making the BGP inside Russia look synchronized with the rest of the world. Of course this applies to all BGP announcements from outside the perimeter.

Not exactly a great firewall with packet inspection, but still something to prevent any possibility to access any resources except whitelisted ones, or to run a VPN to the outside.

Update: the article in question, Google-translated: https://whatisyournameinsider-com.translate.goog/politika/24...
You pick something comfy.
This is a minority situation but an important one for the exceptions. Under the shadow of the rise of Proton it's getting harder to surface that sometimes you want to force Steam to use the native version. Something something the turn tables.

I recently changed the report questions to allow specifying 'Native. No Proton' as an an answer to 'Which Proton do you use'. It's gotten a few grumbles ('this is a site for Proton') but I think it's worth doing for cases like yours. Given enough samples, the site will be able to highlight games that have a significant amount of users preferring native over Proton for some games and I think it'll be a curious enough set to warrant its own filter or highlight section.

Thanks for describing your case. I've linked to it in my todo notes to keep in mind.
I'm not sure I understand. Were they captured? Were the drivers killed? Did the drivers perhaps have relatives/friends in Ukraine? Were they told to leave them there?
I would like to remind you that the anti-Vietnam war movement at Kent State[1] was literally machine-gunned by the army.

It was a bit of a different time. But maybe not that different.

If it's got logistical problems, taking it out means Russia stops trying to resupply it and shifts effort elsewhere.

If you are positioned to do a good job continuing to interfere with the resupply, that might be a favor to Russia, even though it might feel good.
Was this what the Israelis did against the Egyptians equipped with Russian radars and AA artillery.
Who are they going to shoot down? There's practically no aircraft in the sky.

The Russian method of war is not to rubbleise like NATO does. Time and again in WW2 the lesson was do not bomb and destroy cities, it turns the destroyed buildings into an urban warfare playground.

So no aircraft to shoot down and no cities to bomb means very little need for an air force.

Of course, NATO could test my theory by sending over a few squadrons of F35s and see if the Russian Air Force makes any moves against them.
SFBA, having a lot of Asians, was already ready to wear masks without anyone asking and is probably just going to keep on doing it forever.
I'm not sure CT logs would help in practice. Assuming a site owner religiously monitors CT logs (who actually does that?), notices a cert they didn't mean to issue, and then issues a CRL or OCSP change (do most people even know how to do that?), the client application has to download the lists and respect it, and many (most?) clients do not.

The site owner may know about the compromised cert, but the users/clients will be blissfully ignorant and unable to do anything about it.
Not in the courts, no. If switching to self-driving reduces accident rates in 99% of situations, but in that last 1% someone gets killed, then there's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Do you have a POC of such an attack? If true that would mean web browsers would be vulnerable executing wasm because you can intentionally feed it a program with out of bounds access.
Nope. They finished the recounts. Three times. None of them came out in Gore's favor.
It's a contract that the company has agreed to -- if they violate that contract, the consequences apply. Or should they be able to violate contracts negotiated between private parties?
> go 1.9 adding monotonic clock readings in a breaking way, i.e. this program changed output from 1.8 to 1.9: https://go.dev/play/p/Mi6cGCPd0rS

That's not a breaking change, if you were comparing Times with just "==" before 1.9, your program was broken as well:

From the 1.8 source [1]:

// Equal reports whether t and u represent the same time instant.
// Two times can be equal even if they are in different locations.
// For example, 6:00 +0200 CEST and 4:00 UTC are Equal.
// Do not use == with Time values.

The idea is that git is for source code/configs. Not data. Data gets stored in databases. Secrets/Tokens are stored in secret stores/vaults. Blobs like PDFs/etc should be stored in blob storage.

If a diff is not useful, don't store it in git. Doing a code review on PII is not useful.

You also shouldn't add packages in a git repo if they can be downloaded immutably in CI/locally. It adds a lot of space. Every commit is a snapshot + new code. Commits are not diffs.
None of the protestors at the capitol killed anyone. The police did kill at least one protestor though.
Clinton conceded the day after the election, filed zero law suits contesting it, and told her supporters to accept the outcome.

She raised specific complaints regarding the process, but never suggested that they invalidated the results.
I don' think the Axis powers had radar, so there was no radar to destroy.

[thank you for the clarification --they had R.A.D.A.R. but apparently it was behind Allies' tech]
Winter or Summer.
That’s not how I remember it. Gore whined incessantly about “hanging chads” until he was forced to step aside by the Supreme Court.
I have been thinking about getting a Honda fit.. or a Jazz as they call it here. What is the boot space like? Wold it be suitable for a small family? 2 adults and a newborn baby?
Whom among the capitol protestors is being charged with insurrection?

, somewhat corroborated by idiotic Lukashenko presentation now, entire operation was supposed to be completed in 15 days.
I doubt the majority of Russian military planned this attack. It seems more like Putin and his inner circle made all the decisions and failed to listen (or were not even told out of fear) what could/should be done. Hitler had the same fatal idea that he was a military genius right until the end and his generals were often sacked if they disagreed.
Counterpoint: I see a lot of (K)N95 masks on the MTA subway. At least 50% during rush hour. I think people here know about how useless the other masks are.
I expect the existing team will probably ask pointed questions of new people showing up.
Just wait until GPT3 deep-fake audio. Closely followed by Deep-fake video. And algorithms will amplify this content to the echo chambers that "want" to hear it to increase ad revenue a few percentage points. All this will enter society at a time when trust in institutions is already low; you already hear some people predicting that there may not be an election with uncontested results (in the USA) ever again. If we solve/survive all those problems maybe there will be enough sense-making to actually tackle climate change come 2032. and maybe people will claim that the 20's were the true great filter of civilizations.

On the other hand, the world is probably the most united it's been in a while because of Russia so there's that.
Why wouldn't we want to make it as easy as possible to vote? For everybody? I don't know that we have to uber everyone there and back, but why not make it super easy to vote by mail?

It's not even a partisan issue, per se, lots of elderly conservative people vote by mail, especially during covid.
Not likely, Russia only had 4 countries' support against the Ukraine invasion condemnation resolution in the UN, and 141 for.
> While preparing for the invasion, Russians were selling their fuel to locals at the borders in Russia and Belarus

To be fair, the troops apparently didn't know they were preparing for an invasion.

Of course, selling fuel and supplies when deployed for a training mission is still a sign of an appalling failure of discipline in a military force.
Myths are hugely effective in wartime. It's a phenomenon literally called a ghost and you're seriously saying 'but there's no proof???'
No, people were always saying it but have only accidentally become correct now due to sufficient vaccination and omicron's lower fatality. The risk of death from COVID is now a bit less than the flu.

Note it's still bad, you don't want to catch it. But you don't want to catch the flu either. People who think the flu is nothing are confusing it with a common cold - I got a flu Jan 2020 and couldn't get out of bed for days.
Valid point. Nintendo Games are still particularly expensive, even used.

Zelda Breath of the Wild still costs 40$ or more where I am.
I really don't know why people think elections are not rigged.

In my opinion all elections are rigged, why on earth would you risk losing power to the whim of the 'unwashed'.

Both parties are two sides of the same coin and go back and forth to give everyone the illusion of choice. But when people mass together and demand social change, BLM ect its allowed to happened only until it starts working, then the authorities crack down with a iron fist.

Its well documented that the USA rigs elections in other countries. So if the technology exists and the appetite exists, what's stopping them? Laws? Morals?

Do we really think that the intelligence community is going to let a random popular citizen have command of the biggest military in the world and a finger on the nuclear button, just because a couple of extra people put their name on a piece of paper?

I think that is absurd, all elections are rigged and to suggest otherwise is naive, holding on to a romantic notion that we choose our leaders.
Either people have and live by principles or they don't. Part of our division is these sides you speak of, instructing their followers what to believe about individual topics.
Though it is as old as democracy. Thinking about the scene from citizen kane where kane’s newspaper prepared two alternative headlines for the day after the elections: “kane elected” and “fraud at the polls”.
If I walk in to a record store and buy a CD, I'm not just paying for the paper and plastic that it's made of. I'm paying the record company, the record store, and the artist for their time and talent.

With a digital goods, we can eliminate the paper and plastic. It's a great thing! But for some reason, we've also decided to write the artist out of the equation too. At least if you're a pirate.

If you're a software engineer, you're being paid not to manufacture hard goods but to create something of intellectual value that could be technically be duplicated forever. What's the difference between pirating music and stealing code that is under a software license?

The Germans and the Japanese developed radar systems during the war, though they were 'behind' the Brits and Americans. Radar countermeasures were actually a critical part of Silicon Valley's origins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo
That also means Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken (no relation!), FTX, and Huobi. Also keep in mind that although Bitfinex probably can't confiscate your Tether (as long as you're holding it in your own wallet on your own computer, or in Binance or something, not Bitfinex's own trading platform), they can inflate it, or they can collapse, which would probably cause Tether's value to collapse. Bitfinex has a history of very shady practices.

Also, Tether's value depends on the value of the dollar, which is likely to collapse if the US gets nuked or if the Federal Reserve decides to make money machine go brrr.
Can you clarify? Like halfway down the politico interview, the interviewer prompts

> There are people who are saying we’re on the brink of a World War III.

And Hill responds “we’re already in it”

Maybe you disagree, but I was surprised by that response and found it very thought provoking
Is it thought, or is it just an actual threat of fascism require a hardline on the "tolerance of intolerance"

If course mistakes happen when you stop blindly accepting everything S valuation.
Thanks. Love hearing stories like yours.
It is in California at least - you can moonlight on whatever you want when you are not on company time or equipment.

Our vacation also doesn't expire and we also don't have non-compete clauses.
I believe it.

I shit a brick when I saw it because I figured, "I guess I just won't be on Google Maps"
What nonsense from YouTube. Do they really think putting in such disclaimers is actually going to change anyone's mind?
Thank you, that is indeed a source and I have raised my estimate of the probability larger casualties slightly. (For the record: above excerpt is from an article in the online magazine CounterPunch [1], which itself refers to the 2009 book [2].)

However, its methodology and rigour have been criticised [3]. As I am not an expert in this area I cannot evaluate the source directly, but several general heuristics apply. The source is a single book. (I am aware that the book claims to rely on numerous non-english sources, but I do not believe that they make the same claims.) The book relies on observational epidemiological data, which is generally hard to get right, and dose-response curves seem to be not analysed (seeing a relationship between doses and effect sizes is a good way to exclude spurious correlations). Finally, since the article mentions Yablokov's prior occupation I will also note that he founded and lead the Soviet chapter of Greenpeace, an organisation with a strong anti-nuclear position.

So I do not think that this is strong evidence. (But as I said earlier, I do currently consider it weak evidence.) In any case, the book claims one million deaths, not multiple millions, and only a fraction of those is attributed to thyroid cancer.

Got that one too. I see a lot of overlap with fellow HN users on YT recs this ain’t the first time.
I'm not trying to argue that it's a "he said, she said" thing, and as a matter of degrees, Trump is way worse. My main argument though is that humans (no matter which "side") are terrible at holding themselves to the same standard as they do other people, especially their opponents. For that reason I expect the rules to soften the next time the pendulum swings to the right.
That was my point. The people want, but the reps deny.

It's not a representative gov't at all. I forget the term for it, but if you speak it in public to the sheeple that still want to believe in representative gov't, you become the bad guy in the conversation.
Look at sites like levels.fyi. The usual FAANG suspects aren't anywhere near the top of these comp lists these days.
Is anything other than blind nationalism what we're calling "propaganda"...?
The west absolutely has a role in the current state of the world. I don't think it's propaganda to acknowledge to situation is messy, and far more complex than "Russia is bad guy. Everyone else: good guy with no wrong doings."

If anything, I feel as though the propaganda is strongly flowing the other way. I'm blown away by how quickly popular media snapped back into war mode. Just like the early days of the Iraq war, it's a bombardment of war memes, the good guys are amazing, "did you hear about the Ghost of Kyiv?", "Russia is surrendering!", "One Ukrainian soldier dismantled a tank with his bare hands", "A sniper killed a top general."

The war is heartbreaking to see in real time. It's also frustrating to see all the simplified, good/bad hot-takes that perpetuates the US' "I'm not responsible for any of this" attitude. Meanwhile, we continue our own regime change wars, arming of states hostile to others, and then feign surprise and outrage when people call out the west's meddling when things go tits up.
> WW1 happened partly because nobody was afraid of it happenning.

That is an interesting take on it. It may not be wrong, but I hadn't heard that before.
Under market???

This sounds incredibly disconnected from reality.
Oops, my battery died and now I have no idea what time it is.
Seems like it might have been a decent idea to plant bombs under that one road, if it wouldn't be normally quite risky
I work in a FAANG and I can tell you than nobody in my team is slacking. Quite the opposite. Everybody is smart and working hard, there's no way you can cruise. I think all new members work even on weekends. A colleague of mine got fired because he didn't meet expectations for his level. He would have been totally fine in other companies. Turnover is high despite the high compensation.

I'm sure it depends on the company/team, but 70% of retirees, I think it's a myth.
This is what "private companies can do what they like" results in.
i got this recommended too, watched the video and the only piece i was suspicious about is where he's suggesting to turn Ukraine into a buffer state, basically ignoring/denying their right to self-determination and rejecting them as independent state
I also think NATO AWACS are likely not integrated with Ukrainian Air Defense. They likely operate on simply different frequencies than old soviet missiles.
I'm in a similar position. I use Spotify for music, but for movies/TV, I pirate everything despite paying for multiple streaming services.

It's about being able to consume media on my own terms. Thanks to piracy, I can get the same quality content from another source and enjoy it however I want, on any device, online or offline.
Incompatibilities happen, APIs evolve. It's a fact of life. Semver helps communicate those incompatibilities to people who care about it.

If you don't want to freeze your API, then just use 0.X.Y, everyone will understand that they need to do regular maintenance if they want to use your code.

Also don't forget about Bush v. Gore. It's apparently a "historic" moment when Gore finally conceded the election to Bush.

Love this, but I find the yearly / per-seat pricing for commercial use very hostile. Nobody wants to be chasing bills for a single typeface in their project. A one-off charge somewhere between $300-$999 would be much more attractive, buy-and-forget.
Hillary Clinton wasn't making those claims via deranged tweets and speeches from the Oval Office in her position as President of the United States. A private citizen on one hand versus the leader of a country with the power of the press and an angry, violent mob on the other. One person's complaints versus a firehose of misinformation, lies and possibly Russian-backed agitprop being spread by the leader of the country, his party and millions of his followers over four years, culminating in a violent, seditious riot against the very apparatus of democracy and the peaceful transition of power itself. These are not even remotely equivalent in terms of their damage to democracy.

Also, Hillary Clinton wasn't entirely wrong. That there was Russian interference in both the 2016 and 2020 elections on behalf of Trump's campaign is a fact - only the effect of that interference in the first case and the degree of Trump's foreknowledge are in dispute. Meanwhile, there was no actual conspiracy to steal the election from Trump... that was entirely bullshit. Like Hillary Clinton's weird brain disease. And Hillary Clinton's kill count. And Hillary Clinton's pedophile sex slave ring. And all of the Benghazi hearings. And whatever "treason" was supposed to be in the DNC email leaks. And Joe Biden being a pedophile. And Joe Biden having crippling dementia. And whatever Hunter Biden's briefcase was supposed to be about. And whatever the bullshit sandwich du jour for 2024 turns out to be.
There's a lot more to Putin's motivations than just Ukrain's membership of NATO. Both according to his own words as well as what makes sense given Russia's geostrategic and economic interests.

I understand some people feel that anything short of an OSI open-source license is somehow bad, but I don't agree with that thinking. It's another way that this product is probably a bad idea though - because there are lots of people who think like you on the license issue.

It definitely needs documentation, getting started, tutorials etc. But I never really published this or even made a website for it. Thanks for the tips!
