Yes. I actually don't agree with Youtube's policy here at all, or with continuing to deplatform Trump (as long as he follows the rules like everyone else.) I did agree with his initial banning, because of the damage he could do in a position of power in a critical moment of political transition. But his views are basically mainstream in the Republican Party now, Jan. 6 was a failure, Biden was elected and the promised rural uprising and reckoning didn't happen, so the damage is probably done.

It's the false equivalence I'm objecting to. It seems clear to me that one side went off the deep end further than the other in this case.
The skies are still contested according to UK's MoD today. Most of the Ukraine air force is still in tact according to the US today.
Or they are a huge company that doesn't want to put their Russian employees in the crosshairs of a government that's quickly reverting to Soviet-style authoritarianism.
World War Two didn’t happen in isolation and was a direct result of unresolved and newly created issues at the end of the First World War.
Isn't the Kremlin's framing that zelensky is a Nazi?
So this is an incredible comment.

It's very hard to figure out what is really going on in Ukraine (though we have a 1/2 decent idea) - let alone how to grasp what Russians all over are thinking.

I would imagine the propaganda is effective at the same time Russians have to be cluing into the fact that this is 'not going well'.

The degree to which they comprehend that up to 1000 armoured vehicles destroyed is definitely a 'giant disaster' is hard to fathom, as few people can put that into context.

And at the same time, they have a lot of blood to spill, and, they know they have a lot of reserves in depth.
I never liked the idea of "X supports Y so I must boycott them". If you don't like NFTs then don't buy them. It shouldn't factor into your decision on whether or not to use WordPress.

I know I'm a weirdo but I just don't get the hand-wringing over stuff like this.

It sounds like Go has implemented package versioning /absolutely right/, this is how things should be.

Two pain points stand out to me in the article though:

> Users of packages aren’t alerted about new major versions

> For the client to update, it’s not a simple path change in go.mod

The tooling should definitely be enhanced to make these things easier to do - probably a flag for -u to update to major versions, and a builtin script to globally update all the imports when a major version has changed.

Or maybe a way to specify a single 'default' major version in one place and then only needing to be explicit when using one that differs from that one. But this means you'd have files that could use different package versions if moved to a different project which could be unexpected.
This is directed at western markets. Nobody needs to be told there’s a war on, The company would just expose itself to useless additional risk from the Russian government.

Now I’d wish they’d choose to go down in glory and spread the truth in every way they can, as long as they can. Because in four weeks they are gone no matter what. So far, it doesn’t look like it.

But this press release is just „not being stupid“.
Capturing CO2 and not permanently removing it from the carbon cycle doesn't seem like it helps much with the climate situation, apart from reducing the conversion of oil/gas to CO2. Beverages probably go back to the atmosphere relatively soon. How long do solvents last before they return to the atmosphere as CO2?
Is there a changelog? I would love a website that has like a diff view for privacy policy updates. Same with for proposed legislation.

My generally uninformed take on it is that I'm as surprised as anybody. I always thought it was a rule of modern warfare that if you're capable of establishing air superiority, you establish air superiority.
The point Geopolitical Realism is that it’s Realism - how things are, not how they should be.

Yes, in an ideal world countries can do whatever they want within their own borders and other countries respect that sovereignty.

But we don’t live in an ideal world.

Countries like Vietnam understand this - they cozy up to the Russians, to China, to the US. Never getting too close and never pissing anyone off too much. Always assert your sovereignty, but avoid war at all costs since you’ll never win except at Pyrrhic victory.

They recognize that we don’t live in an ideal world and act according to how things are.
If remote really works and the market is fair, then this is a good opportunity to see evidence in its favor. Somehow, I don't think fully remote companies will find it easy, unless they have some secret formula for finding remote talent. Companies like GitLab (fully remote) continue to be outliers.
How can you say this is not their method of war after Chechnya and Aleppo? You simply haven't been paying attention at all.

It is their only method of war if it starts to drag out and they need to break will.

They have been doing it already all throughout Ukraine at a confined scale (many well documented cases) using artillery, just not air. The question is whether they're going to ramp up to full-on Grozny/Aleppo in the coming weeks as they get more desperate. My guess is yes given that they have no other playbook.

Here is one of the many examples:

"Private companies can do what they like" should only apply to companies that are not monopolies.

Due to network effects there is no legitimate competition to YouTube, so YouTube needs to be regulated as a monopoly (unless maybe TikTok has started hosting longform videos instead of just people doing stupid dances).
I think the bigger difference is intent and actual facts (or non existence of any) behind the legal battles.

Trump simply does not live in reality and was enabled by lawyers abusing the legal system and attacking our institutions and literally attacking the government. On absolutely bonkers baseless accusations.

Gore had solid arguments, actually argued in court (didn't get thrown out with prejudice).
Most atrocities in the world are committed by principled people. If they didn't have them they wouldn't care enough to commit them.
> The Russian method of war is not to rubbleise like NATO does.

Bombing everything is the Russian way. That's why they're carpet bombing kindergartens, apartment blocks, hospitals, &c.

They're just not doing it from the sky because they don't have the ability to.
Looks nice.

You could support Hungarian with only two additional letters.

I find the subscription license for commercial use a bit problematic. Say I have an app and I want to use the font. That’s “commercial” as long as it’s not “personal” AFAICT… and if I stop paying your fee some day then technically the app has to be modified or taken down.

This might not be a problem, but it’s not really “no strings attached.” There should be a fixed-fee perpetual commercial license as well.

Best of luck with it, I’m sure it’s hard to compete with all the free developer fonts!
In the month it will the best time to look for software job ever. With Russian, Belorussian and Ukrainian developers cut off, companies, that used to rely on remote teams, are going to be in the hiring frenzy to replace them.

Smart ones are already in the hiring frenzy.
The West is a vast place and what you say about censorship is not universal, and I very much doubt it is absent at all. Tell me about Assange or Snowden. And if you want to hear what happens in Greece (a Western country you, in another country, probably hear nothing weird about in the news apart from new austerity measures) it is like Northen Korea with capitalism, and I must struggle to think why this could be a stretch except from executing people - oh wait, that is a thing too, if you piss off the wrong people. Plus, on the censorship side, social media did ban russian sources, and governments did ban russian channels from operating.
That's the big one I had in mind.
For sure. Life is beautiful and nuanced. Anything significant is complex, and quantizing a spectrum, or at worst, making it monochromatic, takes something from its beauty.
The self-serving, inconsistent, intellectually-dishonest take that some have when they can't parrot provably false nonsense that is a mere Google search away from being debunked is really obnoxious.

I imagine many of these same people championed the rights of private businesses to decide who they did and didn't serve when it came to the infamous cakeshop [1] yet when Youtube or Twitter or Facebook makes exactly the same choice not to be a vehicle for disinformation, those same people lose their minds.

The point here is that the majority of people complaining about this aren't standing up for principle. They just want to get their way.

Live by the sword.

The "August Madness" is sometimes how this gets summed up. Novels/movies like All's Quiet on the Western Front make this point, too.

Has it ever been as easy as that?...
Yes, snow is worse in every possible way than rain (unless the rain then freezes to the road). We are so far away from that though.

Don't forget, for L5 it also needs:

- Do the right thing in construction zones where signs and/or barriers may indicate that following the lines is wrong (including flag-men)

- Detect when an out-of-site emergency vehicle with sirens running may be approaching the next intersection and slow down

- Go 25 "when children are present" and 55 when children are not present (though TBH, humans are mediocre at this, and L5 only requires human-level ability)[1]

To my knowledge, there's nothing in the prototype stage that can handle the above in sunny weather. Going from "No protytpe can do this in sunny weather" to "Commercially available in 8 years" seems unlikely even if we restricted it to "only in areas with no snow"

I'm in the cannabis space; but don't touch green-product. Google doesn't like cannabis business. Some of my competitors (somehow) are able to advertise on the Google platform. And I almost got my whole company kicked out of our Google eco-system (Workplace, Cloud) for even trying to put an ad for our business in there.

But we have a contact there, cause we're paying clients on Workspace (Email, Drive, etc). So, didn't get kicked off hooray -- but then asked about how/why can others advertise their cannabis-related businesses but we cannot. "We'll get back to you..."

And I know, from at least one competitor (cause we're friendly, small industry), their ad-spend was not very much (ie: USD $2500/mo). Another friendly competior got their account banned (but it was a throw-away gmail account).

It's frustrating when the algo picks/chooses winners/losers and it still seems pretty ad-hoc/random. What permits one cannabis-related business but blocks another? Shouldn't an algo be consistent?
The Bush v Gore fiasco is nothing like what is going on now: in 2000, in Florida, after all votes were tallied, the vote totals were so close a recount was legally mandated. During the recount a large number of ballots (actual, tangible evidence) were noted to have unclear undervotes and overvotes on them and were simply not counted. To compare this to the utterly baseless claims that lack even a scintilla of evidentiary support made by the current republican congress-folk is wacky.
Not al tinnitus is caused by the same process, and some nerve damage might be permanent.

My tinnitus was not caused by loud sounds and I have had it since I was a kid. My body is not "efficient" in dealing with glutamate, which is why I need klonopin and also why some people have seizures.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7970002/

I wish people will finally understand that we are not all the same genetically and it is a big deal.

Intermittent fasting will lower glutamate levels, as will getting calories from fats. This is why they give this diet to children withs seizures.

Youtube runs the thumbnails through a sentiment analysis AI and promotes videos more when they rate with a high likelihood of the bucket of emotions that have been found to correlate with ad impressions.
Two points:

1. At what point will the information on the internet become so obfuscated that communication and "truth" is difficult to discern from "lies", if not presently today? Consider a person using the internet for the first time in order to find more information on a current event. How many sources (and what qualifies as one) does one have to traverse to weigh what one can consider to be "truthful enough"? Does a person have enough time to sift through all the available sources? To me, this is why media outlets filter their content, in order to protect their version of "truth". News outlets have always been biased, I don't see why YouTube or Twitter or FB cannot do the same thing.

2. Democracy will always be a thin line. There must be a point of "truth" of recording votes that the population is willing to accept. If the majority consistently challenges results or insists that the results are false, then democracy cannot exist, and another form of governmental control, possibly an evolution of authoritarianism or dictatorship, will take its place. Is that more acceptable than less-than-perfect democratic outcomes?

My complaints on Fexelea could fill a book. She started that site with help, including the building of said site, from people on PSN. She then stole from reddit rampantly, but forswore ads so people didn't complain much. But she monetized her youtube channel and would only post videos (often 4+ hours with no timestamps- which was also against her own site's rules), when people complained she began allowing 'approved uploaders' (read- kicking her down her percentage). Wasn't long before ads were all over the place. Around the time Bloodborne was released she gamed SEO with names of pages with lorem ipsum and the oage itself would read 'coming soon', or 'be the first to add to this page' while other site already had the information.

Recently she began begging for funding with banners a la Wikipedia.

That site can suck a big one.
This is ridiculous hyperbole. Maybe what you’re saying is true in the US and several other places but there are absolutely unrigged elections elsewhere.

Then you could respond with how things are effectively systemically rigged through gerrymandering/news media/misinformation/propaganda/mind control/harassment/selective enforcement but that’s something else.
I agree with Fiona: the clear nuclear threat was over the line. Freezing the assets of the central bank of Russia was also unimaginable a month ago (they are not Venezuela). That's why I used the words containing/deescalating.
Yes, is probably the short answer. Not just due to training, experience, or any particular technology problem, but in fact due to all these things and more. Everything is harder in the sky - the logistics trains are longer, societal and technological depth is more necessary. This is where any rot will first present itself.
When the Soviet Union was breaking apart the air force general stationed in Tartu, Estonia refused the order to blockade the television and parliament buildings. That decision by Dzhokhar Dudayev probably saved many lives.

He then went on to fight for the independence of the Chechen Republic. On that note, I wonder if Russia doing poorly in Ukraine might not ignite the fight in Chechnya again.
That is completely different than claiming there were millions of hacked ballots and all kinds of other crazyness.

Those are legitimate political arguments about voter suppression laws.

No one on the left claimed Kemp and Republicans stuffed ballot boxes or China hacked whatever.

The argument is based in facts. Many Republican controlled states, especially in the south, have historic issues with suppressing the votes of black and brown Americans.

You can argue over the extent to which this suppression still exists and how much it affects election outcomes.

But it is not even close to the same as arguing that the election was completely fraudulent because of real voter fraud, that the SOS or whatever bureaucrats should overstep their authority to throw it out.
It tells me that they don't care about anything but their profits and, as a society, we need to stop being okay with that. Employees are not just an inconvenient cost that should be minimized in any way possible. They're human beings who have a right to decent quality of life. They have a right to be paid a living wage for their work. It's sick that there are people out there that believe otherwise.

The unions didn't destroy those towns. Those companies did.

> Basically Western militaries have never invested heavily in SAMs, but invested heavily in anti-SAM weapons an tactics; while Soviet-style militaries did the opposite

Hm, I will cynically say that it looks like the Russians were actually more interested in defense, while the Americans were more interested in offense.

Google has a thing called "IARC" (https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/releasing#...) where you make an application with details about what you're done or have done, and if it's approved, you get to own the copyright.

If you want to release it as open source and don't care about owning the copyright, there's a process you can go through to release a new open source project. If you just want to send patches to an existing project, you can generally just do that, as long as the project has an approved open source license and is not on the (short) list of disallowed projects.
as a side note compare it to what current words Russian people are using to get around Russian censors to talk about the war

You cannot possibly be serious that by calling something a ghost you have an excuse to presenting any sort of evidence.
I applaud Googlers who try to do the right thing and I don't understand why a random person on HN should dis them for it.
The government would not be able to bring that pressure to bear if YouTube, g-suite, and Google cloud weren’t all the same company, and if there were a competitive market for internet video distribution.
Pretty underwhelming to see a spitball theory on Russia regarding nepotism/corruption based on it being “typical of many things in Russia”—nothing specific to the military or the air force, just a blank cheque that can be used to interrogate anything.
As tptacek will tell you, there's never any situation where DNSSEC would help. For instance, it doesn't mean your own DNS lookups to 1.1.1.1 are secure, but it does mean Libya is a CA for bit.ly.

Creator said somewhere in the thread he's considering a trial version.
A bit different considering the west has alternatives which are not blocked, whereas China doesn't. You can even spin up your own sources and serve whatever you want,a right not afforded the average Chinese citizen.
I'm regurgitating what I've read and heard, including from HN commenters so I don't deserve credit for this: Historically, the USSR's answer to Western air superiority isn't more fighters but air defense that can move with the army. Basically the USSR army has really good air defense. Consequently, the Western allies got really good at SEAD. The Western allies rely on their fighters to gain air superiority. It's assumed that before the army even starts moving in, the fighter would have swept the skies so the US ground forces (the US Navy does because they can't rely on ground based fighters and carriers are precious) don't have great air defense in the form of missiles, etc. when compared to the USSR. As a consequence, the USSR/Russia air force did not need to have as much SEAD capabilities. But now they're fighting Ukraine who inherited the same strong USSR air defense capabilities and its been difficult for the Russians because it wasn't a capability they had needed to develop.

The hypothesis seems plausible to me. Feel free to let me know where this information may be incorrect so I can update my knowledge.

It’s not too hard to imagine in a larger code base, where maybe libfrontend is relatively stable but libbackend has active development. Now if I want to update libbackend (maybe a new feature was added, maybe there’s been a critical bug fix) I shouldn’t have to wait for the libfrontend maintainers to update their dependencies, sort out any breaking changes, and verify there were no regressions to do so.

Prior to go modules this was even worse with third party packages. I’ve had cases where my app has integrations with a few google services like maps, sheets, and text-to-speech. It turns out the libraries for all of these services, understandably, also have certain dependencies in common. If you run in to the unfortunate situation where you need to update one of the google libraries, and that updated library now relies on an updated version of a dependency required by others, you’ll end up needing to update all of the other libraries. Granted it’s usually a good idea to update, but it turns a theoretical 1 hour task (update library to use new feature) in to a headache that might take several days depending on how big the changes were to the other libraries
It's really not far fetched to imagine needing to do a prefix scan of data held in client-side memory.
Western militaries have never heavily invested in SAMs?!

Have you heard of the stinger, that the Ukrainians are using to great effect? The US also has the patriot and aegis systems which are really good air defense missiles. That’s not including THAAD, etc.
Not a fan of Google at all. But I'm sure if someone chose to flamethrow you or your company you'd expect them to back up their accusations... right?
