> In the larger sense, it's absolutely toxic, because it projects a wholly unrealistic vision. People see others "succeeding", and blame themselves for "failing" when in reality, the "failures" don't realize that the "successes" were bankrolled by parents/spouses.

I'm glad someone else gets this. I would have a real-talk conversation with some of those friends about this, but it was really hard to get it across.

"People really look up to you, and aspire to do what you do."

"Oh that's awesome!"

"No, not awesome. They won't be able to. They don't have the advantages you do."

"Are you mad that I have money?"

"No, you're great. It's just that people won't have a realistic idea of what it takes to get where you are, if they think all you do is take photos for a living."

"Hmm. Is this important? I have to get ready for other thing."

They would assume it had something to do with jealousy, so I mostly stopped bothering.
NATO article 5: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_110496.htm
This isn't a proxy war. Russia is a main actor here being a bully.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO ( yet?). But it's a neighbour+trade partner.
I have not found information saying that tofisopam is an AMPA antagonist. But you are probably right, the answer must be on the paper you link I guess.
Nevertheless the action on PDEs is what makes tofisopam unique.

> No, Klonopin does not increase GABA
Yeah that's right. GABA releasing agent, GABA reuptake inhibitor and GABA transaminase inhibitors do exists but benzos have not those properties. They are GABA-A positive allosteric modulators (they are not agonists although GABA agonists do exist too).
So yeah they potentiate GABA functionally without increasing its quantity directly.

Russia is not cornered. They aren't even fighting on their own soil.

Napoleon wasn't cornered when he was losing too.

There is no sane reason to let a bully just take what he wants, since that's exactly what Putin is trying with his threats.

Youre right that getting rates of mental disorders at the population level is a useful application. Checkout for example the hedonometer: https://hedonometer.org/timeseries/en_all/?from=2021-12-05&t....

It's a perspective that gets dismissed in western popular media, despite factual evidence:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-votes-against-anti-nazi-reso...

This obviously makes Ukraine look bad, because it IS bad. But given that this matter is heavily entangled in the reaons of the war, and current post-truth climate in the media, facts that don't fit black-white narrative simply get dismissed as Russian propaganda (which, truth be told, is one of the facts they actually base their propaganda on).

Obviously real-world stuff is gray and muddy as it always is in such conflicts.

It's not a recent concept, Pax Americana has been talked about for a long time. The Cold War happened, but it's exactly that incredible achievement of peace during the latter half of the 20th century is astounding given the few hundred years that preceded it.

I wouldn’t be so optimistic, the country is run by people with the exact skills needed to keep the population in an alternate reality: psyops and a brutal secret police.

Add a cultivated desire to be “great again” plus economic hardship imposed from outside and Putin can hold a tight leach as he’s been doing. That’s the first time he’s probably gambling his life, but he’s far from being defeated.

"Those who don't understand Glib are destined to reimplement it and have their work also referred to as an over-engineered monstrosity"
Well, I was trying to make the case that it's not dramatically harder to take Starlink down than it was to put it up. If your barrel bomb full of nails works, that would be even stronger evidence that it's not dramatically harder.

My intuition, though, is that it wouldn't work. Kosmos 1408 became a two-tonne barrel bomb full of nails in November and so far isn't known to have taken down any other satellites.

I don't really understand orbital mechanics, so take the following with a grain of salt.

The Starlink satellites weigh 230-300 kg and orbit at 540-570 km altitude, at which altitude the thermosphere will passively deorbit failed satellites within 5 years. I think a metal object weighing 10 g, such as a nail, would deorbit about 30 times faster, about 2 months, because it weighs 27000 times less but only has about 900 times less surface area. But that's assuming the nail is in orbit in the first place. If you have a barrel bomb in LEO and you blow it up, sending the nails in every direction, most of them will immediately deorbit: those traveling backwards or down will deorbit immediately, while those traveling forwards or up will deorbit 45 minutes later on the other side of the earth.

Only a narrow plane of the shrapnel will stay in orbit at all. If the shrapnel forms a sphere around where the barrel would have been if it hadn't exploded, a plane through its center intersects that sphere in a circle. The nails in this circle will stay in orbit: some are going sideways, some forward and down, others backward and up.

The Minkowski sum of a nail and a Starlink satellite is almost exactly the same size as a Starlink satellite, so we can think of each nail as sweeping out a Starlink-satellite-sized path in its orbit. I don't know how big the satellites are, but they must be on the order of 50 liters to weigh what they do if they're mostly made of metal, which would make them on the order of 40 cm in diameter. So each nail is sweeping out roughly 40 cm x 40 cm x 7000 m/s. So over the course of two months before it deorbits, it sweeps out about 5.9 billion cubic meters (5.9e9).

If we approximate the Starlink volume as a 30 km thick sphere beginning 540 km above earth's surface, its inside radius is about 6911 km and outside radius about 6941 km. That has a volume of 1.8e19 cubic meters. So a random nail has a chance of about 1 in 3 billion of killing a particular Starlink satellite, of which there are almost 2000, so about 1 in 1.5 million of killing any of them.

From one point of view that suggests that a barrel of nails could work; you just need several million nails to kill any satellites (thus, tens of tonnes, which is feasible) and several billion nails to kill them all (which is not).

Smart and expensive killer satellites are likely to be much more cost-effective. Faberge eggs are far too simple, though; your killer satellites need to be more like the complexity of a feature phone. A feature phone controlling a Bernz-O-Matic valve, though.
Much better would be to have closed the airspace in the Ukraine.

EDIT:

People down-voting it, looking away, fearing an atomic war in Europe, are just accepting Putins bluff. He has no reason to start a nuclear war, if no bomb is being dropped in Russia. And if Russia invades Poland or Romania, what are you willing to do? Keep looking away. That's has nothing to do with who signed with NATO or not,but do the right thing.
My recollection is that Serbia was committing war crimes against Bosnia, which is what prompted NATO air strikes.

Those are all things with extremely broad purposes, used by nearly everyone. Whereas Tor is incredibly niche, being a system explicitly designed to obfuscate network activity to make it difficult to impossible to track back to the originator.

Most people have absolutely no need to use Tor, but it's clearly very useful for child abusers looking to not get caught. That study reported 80% of hidden service visits were to paedophile websites. This really is not comparable in scale to how electricity, the internet, storage devices, and so on, are used.
Why do you assume they expect “the country” to do anything for them? I certainly don't want “the country” to do anything for me and I don't want to do anything for “the country” that I wouldn't do for anyone.

My experience may be similar. I started programming in COBOL in 1979 - 1980 timeframe. I was working in Seattle, Washington, using Ryan-McFarland COBOL on a Texas-Instruments DS-990 computer system. I thought it was a good programming environment. We were writing business accounting software and it all worked really well.

There's almost no C code you could write in an effort to "forego abstractions and complications" that isn't also C++.
It's not just the media. Most western countries have entire opposition political parties. And regular citizens bad mouth their leaders all the time with no fear of repercussions. I directly hassle the leaders of my country on their official twitter accounts.

You can export Google Auth tokens and reimport them on a separate device.

Authy seems to sync between the 2 devices I have with it installed (which indicates that it's stored "in the cloud").

I always have second device mirroring the important stuff on my primary device. Usually my most recently replaced phone.
This. I am pretty scared of losing my phone too.

Reinstalling the app didn't seem to revive the tokens, last time I tried.
No, the point is that the article does not use a real regular expression:
1. Real regular expressiona can always be checked in linear time
2. primes can not be checked in linear time
Ergo: primes can not be checked with regular expressions, otherwise there would be a way to check primes in linear time, which would contratict premise 2

Bitcoin really needs some kind of SSL or way of getting a verified address from a particular organisation or person. Raw addresses encourage address reuse, which is already problematic for the bitcoin ecosystem. Add on top of that the fact that there is no authentication, there really needs to be a solution.

An alternative that exists today would be LNURL, which is simply an HTTPS protocol that will generate an lightning invoice, however lightning itself doesn't have wide spread use yet.
The "west" has been trying to de-escalate the actions of Russia for the last two decades. When a foreign state can, with impunity, annex various chunks of its neighbours, carry out a proxy war through a seriously despotic regime and literally assassinate agents in said Western countries using both nuclear and chemical weapons, then it's difficult to argue that de-escalation hasn't been tried.

OMG, memories come back. My father brought a C64C back from Germany in 1991, complete with a German edition of the User’s Guide. The sample programs ring a bell. I distinctly remember a 7yo version of myself typing in code for the balloon sprite one.

Sadly, I never had the Programmer’s Reference Guide. I did, though, own „Commodore 64” by Bohdan Frelek, sometimes considered _the_ C64 Polish bible.

That sounds like it has nothing to do with you running a bridge but about you connecting to work through tor. And/Or you weren’t running a bridge but a public relay. In either case the company’s IT sound like dummys.

What is weird is how their accounting software didn't raise 5 different alerts when they have AR outside of their due dates. I have a small business and mine raises alerts all over the place when something slips the due date for AR.

Is it just me thinking this is actually crazy that they didn't notice even through a quarter closing? One could argue they're a small business but then how does the business not notice multiple months of AR being delayed.
> go to Delft for university

Hmm… Well, that only works for degrees in engineering, it’s a ‘Technical University’. Also, Delft is probably a great university, but it doesn’t strike me as more prestigious than the other Universities you mention.

For what it’s worth, the members of the Royal family all attended Leiden University. As did the current prime minister. Most ministers of justice in recent history attended Leiden University and were a member of Minerva, a conservative student society.

Still, I wouldn’t consider Leiden a particularly prestigious university—none of the Dutch universities are, because they are all relatively accessible and publicly funded. Instead, the well-connected manage to create their own little groups inside of student life. Like the aforementioned Minerva, which like other student societies (that exist in Delft as well), has students make small clusters (jaarclub, dispuut), with all kinds of barriers to entry. I presume the richest kids cluster together. People then rely on these connections throughout their career.

To me it sounds like you met a group of rich people who were friends in Delft University (and I presume already rich) and relied on this network afterwards: this is a pattern that reproduces itself at other Universities. And inversely, attending Delft University is by no means a guarantee that you can profit from this mechanism.

It’s interesting what you say of not seeing class differences before, I think it’s quite common in The Netherlands. The image the Dutch have of their society is one with very little class differences. This might be a comforting idea in day to day live (as you mention) but it also makes it hard to do something about the unfair situations that persist.

That is more defensible than just standing by while Ukraine asks for military aid, IMO.

I’m not sure if you have specific diplomatic strategies in mind. I sort of assume that the west is going straight to ratcheting up sanctions because there’s not much else to go on. But then I’m no expert in international relations
That's not 2FA anymore though, if you regular password is also stored there.
20 years the west and in particularly countries like Germany have deescalated and let assassinations and annexations by Russia slide in favor of having good relationships with Putin.

He has no interest in deescalation, except maybe having all of Eastern Europe bow to his rule. Should the west kick the baltic states out of NATO too to appease Russia?

> Or would it help to put some infos up?

I live in one of the autocratizing nations with access to most of the internet as of now. I think that was the case in Russia too till just 2-3 years ago.

What I've observed in my society is that mere access to information isn't enough. Ethics and critical thinking, or lack of them in general, influence how that information is consumed.

The delusions, myths and lies of the dictator are not all his own inventions but often emanating from, and willingly co-opted by, many of his generation in his society.

State propaganda merely enforces those myths that the people themselves chose to nurture in their minds without any ethical or logical scrutiny.

All news gets judged through that mental framework. If many people believe "liberals" or "the west" are out to destroy their country, then any news about their war crimes will be dismissed as fake news by such minds even if they have access.

That's why I'm a bit skeptical about the black and white narratives where all the evil is only in the dictator's government and media, while their society is portrayed as innocent.

An ethical person who's lived in a dishonest society for years and experiences it daily is unlikely to trust anything the state says. Which means, if many people are ready to side with a dishonest state, then I think they aren't all that honest and innocent to begin with.
So many political opinion pieces lately. There’s a place for them, somewhere else.
Well, that's what the Tor Project claims. It's good marketing, but they're essentially lying by omission here.
