Ah yes my first computer, still have it in the garage, keep wanting to spend some time and see if I can get it to boot again.

My Dad built it from a kit, can still remember him spending all night soldering it. Literally set the direction of my life/career.

We didn't have any permanent storage at first, so I would type basic programs in by hand like games from magazines and play them, then it was lost on power cycle, so if I felt like playing I had to retype, talk about learning programming through repetition.

Eventually we got an audio cassette recorder working which took like 10-20 minutes to save and load a small basic program, was torture. Eventually upgraded to C64 but still needed audio cassettes for a while the 5 1/4" floppy drive was much more than the computer itself but when we finally got it felt like the future being able to quickly load and save programs!
I noticed that when I write something like this, I immediately get downvotes. Then gradually as discussion developed I get upvoted. To me it seems that there really are vigilantes who are doing this for whatever reason.

The same could be said about certain articles. For example, that Facebook allows to praise the Azov battalion. It is a controversial thing that Ukrainians shouldn't be proud of, but it has been explained already how the praise is allowed – not with regards to neo-nazi ideology but only when mentioned as part of regular armed forces where this battalion was incorporated to control them. And yet despite the explanation this article come up again and again which makes me think for concerted effort to spread anti-Ukrainian narrative.
Schools in the US don’t like to educate students about - or offer access to - birth control.

They are not so common, but it is one of our top two political issues. People will vote based on these issues even if all other issues run counter to their beliefs. abortion and gun rights.
My practical concern is many people are uplink choked. Technically, on 200 Mbps down, I was supposed to get over 10 Mbps up on Comcast Xfinity but practically it was closer to 5 or 6 Mbps. This is already problematic if you have more than two video conference calls going on at the same time.

I am moving soon to a Spectrum / road runner area and we are supposed to get 400 down and 20 up. Let's see if it helps.

I don't think I have the capacity to run a node if I understand this clearly (please correct me if I am wrong).

I imagine the way a relay works is you download something from a source node and upload it to the destination node where source and destination are somewhat randomized?
Your link doesn't show statistics for any comparable country?
China and Russia have swap arrangements.

And China uses Yuan, not Euros.

In very international trade the buyer uses the currency they have and the seller gets the currency they want. The finance system is there to make the match.

We don’t trade using pebbles. We trade using promises that are created on demand.
>You're assuming that Russia would feel like it needed to conquer its neighbors in a peaceful world

I mean after 45 years of Soviet occupation of Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia etc. didn't know what people expect from those countries. Of course they don't want to see any russians ever again.

Or once again: is it their fate that they always have to be the vassal of Russia just because of their location?

Most of these countries were historically and culturally always closer to Germany, "the west", than Russia.
> My ip was listed on the tor network as a bridge

Seems like you're mixing up the terminology (which is understandable, I've done it myself a couple of times in the past).

https://support.torproject.org/censorship/censorship-7/

Bridge relays are Tor relays that are not listed in the public Tor directory.

There are still ways to get and detect bridge addresses but I'd be surprised if the kind of IT department that would give you trouble for running one would also go through the effort of doing so?

> On another note a coworker downloaded a bollywood movie on BitTorrent and forgot to stop sharing and connected to the work VPN and IT got a dmca notice. They then went on a huge investigation about BitTorrent. Some people got nasty emails their IP was listed on public trackers.

If they were listed as seeds illegally sharing copyright-protected content (and the kids weren't just downloading Debian ISOs), that's par for course.
I know right! I can't believe the headlines being spun off from this.

Case closed! We have pictures of animals in cages. No further investigation required.
Just because the title used the word "overwhelmingly" doesn't mean it is common. It is still rare. "overwhelmingly" in this context only means percentage among those having abortions.
Because the US is the driving force bheind this. European countries such as Germany opposed Ukraine joining NATO [1]. European opposition blunted Bush's effort to set a timetable on Ukraine and Georgia, which is how it became a noncommittal open-ended "open door" policy.

What's more, countries like Germany have deeper econmic ties to Russia because of natural gas in particular. European countries are, as a general rule, less interested in alienating and isolating Russia.

And there's really no difference between political parties in the US either. George W Bush's open door policy from 2008 has survived 3 subsequent administration from both parties.

It's US foreign policy that drove invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, supports Saudi Arabia in Yemen and Israel in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.

"Putin dying or his regime getting toppled is going to create a huge power vacuum, lots of instability and is probably not going to be good for anyone"

Ironically, this is the same logic used by many Russians who support Putin.
They are, you can even get them for free or very cheap if you're poor. Well maybe not in Texas, you can where I'm at in Ohio. I'm not really sure that abortions are really common, it's just a hot button issue. From a quick Google search it's 195 abortions per 1,000 live births in us in 2019 and 270 in france in 2018.
Impossible to answer without knowing what you mean by "so common." The rate is around 1-2% of pregnancies [0]. I wouldn't consider that very common. If everyone with a good reason (health risks, life circumstances) to get one did so, I'd honestly expect more.

Furthermore, birth control is not 100%. You can do everything right and still get pregnant.

0: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_U...
For the entire US, the rate is not very high, and has been decreasing over the last few decades; it's similar to rates in the UK and France.

There's likely more variance, though, since some groups and individuals are much less likely to abort, whereas others are much more likely. The latter involves, partly: contraceptive perceptions, access, poverty, among others.
These are good fonts but it’s unclear why it’s not released under a proper font license like SIL Open Font License. This would make the use of the fonts much easier.

I disagree. It appeared to me that a lot of the people promoting that theory were using it for bigoted purposes. Such that dismissal of the theory became highly coupled with dismissal of the bigotry of those who were promoting it.

My recollection is that one "side" was arguing a very different thing than the other, and never the twain shall meet.
If Musk were posting here this would count as a personal attack. Instead he's just someone in the news, about whom commentators might freely make observations. I don't think anyone has been flagged for some of the fairly bizarre observations made about certain national leaders recently.
>Being from outside of USA, can someone explain me why abortions are so common.

They're... not though? Your entire premise doesn't seem to have any basis here, see ex. [0]. The US rate doesn't look dramatically different than anywhere else. It's almost identical to Sweden or Australia. Plenty of Eastern European and Asian countries are higher. The US doesn't even make the top 10. France and England are lower but not dramatically so. And a lot of the countries that claim it's low in official stats are clearly full of it, with abortions merely happening illicitly with no report.

>, you lose absolutely nothing pursuing a diplomatic end to this. [...] There's no downside.

But your simplification of "losing absolutely nothing" is not how Ukraine sees it.

Because Russia (currently) has the upper hand in military strength, a "diplomatic end" means ceding more territory to Russia including the southern Black Sea coastline. Becoming a landlocked country beholden to Putin would be a big downside.

Proposed solutions to end wars are "easy" if one over-simplifies the problem.

Notice that your option #3 (diplomatic end) actually overlaps with your #1 (Russia rule) based on today's military situation. #1 & #3 are not mutually exclusive choices.

Good luck Vladimir Agafonkin. I seems trivial with the current events but I wanted to let you know that I consider Leaflet to be one of my favorite programming projects and one of the most useful projects of all time; several years ago I wrote generic Web Components and JS code to handle it because I consider it such a useful and great project.

I live in Los Angeles, California, USA and while I'm far I will find a way to help. There are many Ukrainians where I live so I will find something to volunteer for ideally (I saw something recently), or I will donate money, or both. I hope that you, your family, and friends live through these hard times. In 2022 I's unbelievable what is happening. Stay safe and good luck.

That is what Russia thought as well. But they were surprised by stiff resistance. Even so, Russia still has a massive advantage and will eventually engulf Ukraine, at least that is the consensus among people much smarter than me. The resistance will be fierce and then they will probably get in insurgency mode, so that would be a sink of men and materiel with little to show for.
Your question has an embedded assumption about commonality. TFA, and the underlying Planned Parenthood, don't actually cite raw #s, just % increases.

Here's a Google search result for per-capita data: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/abortion-....

The US is not noticeably better or worse than other countries supplying data; certainly in the same ballpark as the UK, Canada and Sweden. The US is much larger than those countries in absolute population, so the raw # is larger.
Russia always feels the need to conquer neighbors and its neighbors feel a need to not let it, hence we join NATO to stop the bad guys.

Since the start 1920s countries in central Europe are in constant fear of Soviet/Russian attack.

Do you think Putin wouldn't have thrown a tantrum if Ukraine wanted to join the European union?

NATO is just an excuse, Putin is not interested in an independent Ukraine with western values.

And if you don't think that Ukraine has a say it this whole mess then you are the imperialist.
That sounds reasonable, but I wonder what the real elite-government interaction will be like soon. Oligarchs prop up what the government was doing in exchange for government not bothering them. If there's enough economic impact that they can't be the sponsors of Putin... that agreement may fail.
Yes, particularly in this case where the success of one validates that there is a new path to success for others.

(When the success of others is based on extraction, rent-seeking, and other methods which tend towards exclusivity... not so much)
Not sure I understand why they so definitively state that 2 extremely similar variants are proof of animal to human jumps and not just a simple human to human mutation. Are there more details to support this conclusion in the paper?
> Although the United States did withhold government aid to pressure Ukraine into removing the prosecutor,[5] this was the official and bipartisan policy of the federal government of the United States, which, along with the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, believed the prosecutor to be corrupt and ineffective, and too lenient in investigating companies and oligarchs, including Burisma and its owner.

You've got the vice-president on tape repeating the official government line in public? And you want this to be front page news? Why?

And why did Trump disagree with all those people, in the blackmail transcript you posted he seems a real fan of this person who is linked to Oligarchs and corruption. What's that all about?
In my mind Viktor Yanukovych came to power unfairly and was ousted by the people of Ukraine in a protest for democracy rather than against. Is that the wrong viewpoint, are there some other sources I should read?
Are there degrees of species jump? i.e. Humans to primates is a "low" degree, humans to reptiles much higher.

There's been a lot of accounts of COVID-19 jumping to species like Deer, or captive animals in Zoos. To my very layman eyes that says that inter-species jumping is very common. (I think?)
Probably not. It's an expired certificate, and AFAIK, expired certificates are removed from certificate revocation lists.

Some analysts may argue that but Putin's own speech of recently clearly indicated that he wants to expand. I don't see how anyone could argue in good faith that his actions are defensive in nature.
All these could be valid grievances. Great powers keep poking and prodding each other all the time. Russia does all sorts of chicanery back. They are mounting right not psy ops in Eastern Europe (e.g. the current "word" over there is that they are in danger of being nuked because of the US bases, and it's all US's fault, they'd be just fine if US got out of there... and some people swallow that stuff hook, line and sinker).

Russia and the US spy each other. The US sanctioned Russia because of the Manitsky assassination. One can easily claim that this is economic warfare, and the if it weren't for that assassination, some other pretext could have been found. On the other hand Russia does kill people (and in the process they increase the popular awareness to such technical tems as Polonium and Novichok).

This is again, just to say Russia and the US keep taking shots of each other. That does not mean Russia needs to start a real war, where tens of thousands of people die. And if Russia does, that's in no way the US's fault.
The democratic world.
Then defense.

I don't see sanctions, insulation, and supporting Ukraine as military offense. It makes the Russian offensive much more costly though.
wasn't WW1 supposed to be the "last war"? and then again with WW2?
"It cited a high risk of foreign-leased planes being impounded as part of Western sanctions that ban leasing of planes to Russia."

Well, and they can't pay various airport and landing fees, or for local fuel due to bank sanctions. And can't sell in most foreign countries because their GDS partners dropped them. And can't fly over large swaths of airspace. And they can't get parts from Boeing or AirBus. And...
NATO is my enemy. Putin as well.
They aren't any more common than other countries where it is legal: It might not be more common than places where it is illegal, but it is harder to count in those places and they more commonly have to look at hospitalizations after unsafe abortions to guess numbers.

Regular birth control measures are available. You might not be able to afford it, though, for example: If you'd rather have birth control pills, you need to be able to afford a visit to a doctor first and that doctor may require a pelvic exam even though it isn't necessary for it. Condoms are sold at most gas stations, pharmacies, and grocery stores but I'm not aware if they'll send you condoms for free. You don't have a right to sterilisation (even after 25), so a doctor can simply refuse (it isn't unheard of for a doctor to tell a woman no if she doesn't have children - even if it will improve her health - or require her to talk to her husband about it).

You also have a situation with poor sex education. So while condoms are available, how to use them properly isn't as known. Instead of information, you generally get slut shamed and told you need to wait until marriage, and then the message is that birth control isn't an issue for you then. A lot of time was taken to tell us about diseases, too, but not necessarily that some are fairly easily treated or aren't as horrible as they made it seem.

According to wikipedia their fleet is 95 % Airbus and Boing. I’d assume the sanctions (lack of parts/service) may make it not possible to operate those. In that case the sanctions are very effective.

It will also be very interesting to see if they can continue to produce, or even maintain, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 while under sanctions (The engine is partly made by french company Snecma). If they can’t, the russian aviation industry will come to a screeching halt, very fast.

> I have to imagine that was more intense with the shite keyboard on these things.

Yes and no. Yes, because the keys were not great, obviously.

And no, because the ZX81 and the later Spectrum had a massively clever optimisation.

A big chunk of the lexer and parser was implemented in a way that was kind of coupled to the keyboard driver.

So you never typed out GOTO/GOSUB etc., in full.

In fact you could not type out a BASIC keyword in full; the keyboard would not let you. At the points where your program could syntactically accept a BASIC keyword, the keys went into keyword mode and would not produce letters at all.

So pressing G or H at that point would not get you a letter, but GOTO or GOSUB.

This was unusual then and is unheard of now. But it helped make some aspects of coding much more kinaesthetic. And it ended up being quite quick to key in listings, especially if you replaced the keyboard with an aftermarket unit.
I love NaNs, especially their "infectious" quality. Initializing float variable to NaNs before first assignment can make a lot of errors immediately obvious. I wish there were a NaN for integers.

Absolutely not. You're mixing up social media with reality. I can say with great confidence that I was at all times in this pandemic very accurately and well-informed. The lab theory has been openly discussed since May 2020, even earlier if you were caring about getting informed. Both lab theories were common and discussed everywhere.

On social media and blogs the discussion is always distorted. Just don't use them as a source of information - although, to be fair, there were many good pointers to information on HN. Thanks to some hypochondriacs at HN, I was able to predict the development of the pandemic pretty precisely since January 2020. My work colleagues were impressed.

After some sleuthwork (which wasn't that bad as they keep everything in git, in a future when everything is api calls to some Kuberentes clusters we're all smoked) it turned out that all it does it move data between two systems.

Literally. It could be replaced with a periodic rsync run. Instead someone has to maintain and monitor a whole suite of software, prepare, test and run upgrades and so on.
Here's some for yourself to contemplate: The IBC project has recorded a range of at least 185,194 – 208,167 total violent civilian deaths through June 2020 in their database. Was this a justifying cost to toppling him? Was the decision the American Government's to make?

Those events you mention are also a full 13 years before the war in Iraq started, why the delay, why end the gulf war? If my memory recalls, there was a lot of noise around WMDs at the time and questionable evidence for justification.

My problem, at this point, is that we've had two years to point fingers and to fabricate evidence. If it were a lab leak, that's a lot of time to bake evidence redirecting people away. All I know is that the powers that be in China wants us to believe that it originated at this market. That's as consistent with it originating at the market, as a lab leak, as something else (including China having no idea where it came from).

Science and politics don't mix, and if there's anything COVID19 has shown us, it's that science takes a back seat to politics.

I have no idea where COVID19 came from.

I don't know that I'll ever know.

I've been in middling high positions before. There are a lot of conspiracies. I'd never trust a "reanalysis of samples" years after the fact, unless I had a clear, verifiable audit trail on how those samples were handled. However, conspiracy theories rarely line up with actual conspiracies. What I wrote isn't supporting evidence for a lab leak or anything else specific. Just that this isn't the smoking gun evidence it's presented to be.

I mostly only care if it tells us something about the virus. If it were a bioweapon designed to cripple, for example, it would paint long COVID in a very different light. If it were a trial of a bioweapon to see if China can contain it, it would paint zero COVID in China in a different light. If it's just a blame game, I don't really care at this point.
