You know. Just because Putin doesn’t call it a war, it is a war. West is fighting with a different kind of attacks.

Also, you probably never dated an Eastern woman, they are not weak at all :)
A good indication IMHO is net exports - ie the amount of surplus food. Looking here * I would choose Thailand, because the food is delicious!

In the way they actively threatened a nuclear holocaust.
Price per unit is closer to $10k, and they are being supplied from stocks which have a shelf-life anyway. So in terms of cash flow, it's not much of a cost.
Most European public broadcasters have a deep political bias, so much so that many advocate for their privatization. Previously in Norway you at least had the option to not pay the mandatory subscription by claiming that you didn't own a TV, but then the leader of the party with the most voters who wanted it privatized, the Progress Party (FRP), made sure that it came on the tax bill instead...
I think russia itself probably blocked www.rt.com and russian.rt.com for non russian IP's so you can publicize two different versions, because de.rt.com works just fine ;)
In theory it could require about the same number of rocket launches from the ground as it took to launch the satellites in the first place. You'd just do a single launch with lots and lots of satellites which you gradually move into orbits that hit the Starlink satellites.

The killers don't need to spend weight on payload, and they can be designed for a lifespan of a few weeks, so for example they can carry very small amounts of propellant. They might be small enough that you can't see them until they strike, at which point it might be hard to determine who had launched them. You might think maneuvering thrusters would be visible because they glowed, but resistojets can run at subzero temperatures. It just makes them less efficient.

The saving grace is that as far as I know nobody has such a system flying or ready to fly; the Kosmos 1408 test seems to be the state of the art. And it would probably cause a dramatic takeoff of Kessler syndrome at least in LEO, destroying other satellites as well, eventually everything in LEO. Aside from being a public relations catastrophe, this would dramatically diminish the wartime advantage of spacefaring powers like Russia, China, and the US over non-spacefaring powers like Iran, so those spacefaring powers might be reluctant to use such a weapon if they had it.

You say, "attacking US satellites would probably be an act of war." Well, maybe. But it's just property damage; no human lives are at risk. And SpaceX is theoretically a private company, not officially part of the US military. If damaging the property of private citizens is "an act of war" then just about every country whose citizens own property in Ukraine has a casus belli against Russia now. And in that case Russia also has a casus belli against Germany: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/03/germany-seizes...

AFAIK Starlink user terminals aren't designed for stealth, so it would be foolish to expect stealth from them. However, they use millimeter-wave phased arrays with hundreds of elements, so they probably aren't crawling with sidelobes, and in theory their beam divergence would be about a degree with isotropic radiation more than 20dB down from the main beam, so it might be hard to detect until you're passing through the beam. And I'm guessing most anti-radar missiles are currently designed for regular microwaves, not millimeter waves. I don't know anything about Starlink's technical specs, though, and not much about millimeter-wave communications, and nothing about anti-radar missiles.
I have never known anyone using E2EE on Telegram. A friend of mine who uses Telegram regulary was quite surprised when I told her that nothing is encrypted if she doesn't use the 'secret chat' option which she didn't really seem to know about.
These scams are so common on both Facebook[1] and Twitter[2]. I have a large following on both, copying my logo and header image. Then pretend to be me and ask for bitcoin donations. I asked Twitter and FB to verify my account, but they refused, saying that I am not famous enough. So now these scams are going on. I am tired of these social media scams and the lack of control by FB/Twitter. Here is how scam looks or works as they send DMs to followers[3]

The longer this war is allowed to continue, the weaker Russia will become. A weak Russia both increases the risk of nuclear weapons being used as well as that of other states - China in particular - using this weakness to try to grab some of that enormous, resource-rich area called Siberia.

So, let this war be finished soon in the same way that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan or the US intervention in Vietnam were finished: in defeat without obliteration. Let Putin loose face and be deposed so that a new generation can take over in Russia, preferably one which is not controlled by some globalist loon nor one which has dreams of reinstating some former Russian empire. Let Ukraine become the European nation it claims to be which means they need to rid themselves of corruption. Let the mistakes which were made in the de-sovietification of the former USSR be corrected, get rid of the oligarchs and their cronies. Smoke out Lukashenko from White Russia so that that nation can also learn to stand on its own feet once the Putinistas have been purged.

And for the love of ${$deity} stop with the stupid, braindead anti-everything-that-is-Russian attitude that I see growing around me. I see a Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky concerts being cancelled in the Netherlands, Russian-language children's reading hours in the library in Sweden are cancelled, a university in Italy wanted to ban Dostoyevsky from its curriculum and more of such stupidity. Just stop it already, realise that Russia is part of Europe and will remain so after this war is over. Realise, also, that Dostoyevsky was imprisoned by the then-version of Putin, that Ukrainians are just as enamoured of Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky as Russians and others are, that those Russian-language reading hours in a Swedish city would most likely get the children to dislike Putinism more than that it would encourage them to follow him. If Clancy is to believed one of the bigger insults you could make to a Russian was that he was uncultured - некультурный. Let's show that we are not while making clear that it is Putin and his ilk who represent the barbarians at the gate.
It’s a common phrase, but people who dislike psychiatry are correct to point out that “normal” behavior is also caused by “chemical imbalances”. That’s just basic metaphysical materialism!

I don’t agree with them that “there’s no such thing” as mental illness, but I do agree that we medicalize trivial variations too quickly, and what counts as ordered or disordered depends on social context, and we can’t just assume the social context is ordered.
Include France in there, hence the propagandas like "White flag", "French need saving", "Freedom fries", and the deep resentment of France in the US.
I own a TECSUN PL-880 for listening to broadcasts. Plus handheld Binatone Action 1000s for short range communications. Plus some ham gear for VHF/UHF.

Getting licensed is pretty easy and you learn a lot about radio.
Some people buy into the narrative that NATO is partially to blame for the war because it allowed Ukraine to seek membership.

It seems like nonsense to me because Ukraine has not joined NATO nor is it close to doing so.

Another side would be to compare the war to other US wars of recent years. This has a bit more merit as the US has done similar invasions including bombing civilians with even more flimsy justifications without becoming an international pariah state like Russia is now. You won’t find the BBC making such comparison for sure. But two wrongs don’t make a right.
Seems unreasonable is the market where they make all the money. Would be equivalent to declare bankruptcy
While we're nitpicking, it doesn't check for prime numbers either. It checks for composite length.
> Important warning: Starlink is the only non-Russian communications system still working in some parts of Ukraine,

Sounds like something to take with a pinch of salt.

I find it hard to believe that Inmarsat, Iridium etc. are no longer functional in Ukraine.

Edit to add:

(a) Given all the Western journos broadcasting out of Ukraine, I think it is almost certainly a fact that Inmarsat, Iridium etc. are still functional because its kind of standard kit for warzone correspondents. All the "senior correspondents" the major news orgs are sending out to Ukraine will have cut their teeth on Inmarsat, Iridium etc., and will be comfortable with its use and operation.

(b) Twitter post from Iridium boss saying they've stopped shipments to Russia but have no intention of stopping shipments to Ukraine and/or stopping service over Ukraine. "Shutting down service over Ukraine would stop Ukrainian use and aid orgs as well."[1]

I think the West is making a terrible mistake by giving enough evidence that countries should escape its control. SWIFT is ridiculously archaic and the most expensive email system in existence.
Thanks for acknowledging how horrific the decisions by the Russian government are. Still I must oppose to mentioning the fate of people in both countries in a single sentence.

When I read "no care for peoples lives, either in Ukraine or in Russia", I want to say there is a drastic difference between risk of death at all times and living through an economic depression.

A friend of mine is sheltering in place in the basement underneath the rubble of what remains of their home. They can't move with the elderly (if moving as in option at all¹), food is limited, no heating. Your family is in a hotel in Dubai.

So it actually 'works', it's just slower.
I'm always amazed that people want to go on TV at all. The chances of being misrepresented seem so high that it's not worth the risk.
this is very useful; thanks!
The ISP is not the place to enforce censorship, if you think censorship is warranted: courts and police are.

It's a powerful tool (which I personally vehemently oppose) but even if you think censorship has its place, it should be somewhere with oversight, due process, et c. ISPs are not that.

The obvious failure mode can be observed presently in Russia.

Gonna guess Luxembourg.
Most software packages do indeed often have offline-installers and runtimes, but the quote seems to be about SaaS which almost never has offline/self hosted options. It's part of the value of building SaaS in the first place, if source doesn't get leaked, it most likely will never end up on TPB et al.
Shouldn't need luck. It wouldn't use qemu or vmware but a specialized VM manager that will interface with it via network/virtual-hardware and expose a virtual file system to it (e.g.: it will call "read()" but instead of glibc wrapping a syscall, a compiled in wrapper would ask the hypervisor to "read()", except it would just memcpy() around a file opened at virtual boot instead of asking the kernel to read a file and then send the data back while avoiding context switch and just send request, wait for interrupt).

File system, networking and security need to abstracted in a way that is ideal for performance and introspection, specifically for a unikernel built to interface with the abstraction.
Is it though? An EMP detonated in atmosphere could render huge number of satellites inoperable.

Even inside the gravity we'll it doesn't matter; the planet only matters as a reference frame.

Basically, a rocket starts out with some mass and uses combustion to produce energy, that energy is imparted to the ship as kinetic energy in the form of an increase in velocity (relative to something) AND as kinetic energy in the propellant going backwards. If you're going slowly, and accelerate a little - say 1 m/s up by 1 m/s to 2 m/s, kinetic energy goes from ke = Mv^2 / 2 = 1M to 4M. Your propellant probably has a lot of kinetic energy, moving at ~2500m/s...backwards. If you start at 10 m/s, and go to 11 m/s, you have 100->121M, an increase of 21 instead of 3. But your propellant is only going backwards at 2400m/s instead of 2499m/s.
My debit card in Switzerland came with a six digit pin - which was a surprise coming from the UK - and it works fine in other countries (Germany and Italy at least). But chip and pin is well known established in Europe so that's not too surprising.
I thought you needed consent for usage, not for technical details? As in "we use your purchase history to generate recommendations", not "we store you purchase history on these systems and run these algorithms on it". Are you arguing that if my colo provider burned down I'd need to get explicit informed consent from every user before restore a db backup somewhere else?
> Go skill has limited to no applications outside of being good at Go.

At the very least all games of this style are excellent working-memory exercises. Go also trains pattern recognition and balancing short vs. long term priorities.

> as you improve you will simply face opponents at the same improved level for eternity so nothing will change from your perspective.

No, the quality of games changes. They're more interesting, and you get more out of them. Just like most skill-based activities.

> almost every player is desperate to grind more rank.

It's true that KGS/OGS have a fair number of "leetcoder" equivalents but this book is probably the exact opposite of this attitude. The author's humble and funny, topped out at a relative low rank compared to his peers, and maintained strong ties to the amateur go scene during his time as a pro. He clearly loves the game more than "the system" and is trying to communicate not just how to play effectively but how the game fits into a life.
I read the definition and it wouldn't be too hard to narrow it down. It's basically on whether you'll be able to get a robotaxi in a place like NYC, tell it to go anywhere you want and take a nap while it drives. Which seems fairly clear cut. (They have more than one top 10 US city rather than NYC).
Alas it does not install on my mac (M1). Their getting started guide says to use homebrew to install Infer. Homebrew says that Infer has been deprecated because it does not build and that there are no bottles available (homebrew lingo for package). Installing (building) from source doesn't work either :(
On a slightly unrelated note, my current linker for llvm projects is mold[0]. It's delightfully fast and speeds up linking for some of my projects tremendously. I would recommend anyone using an llvm based compiler, like rustc or clang, to give it a try.

I would also like to see some more concrete information about how it compares to older established tools like FindBugs and PMD. I took a look at their Documentation but there is no mention of other such tools.
True but I separate my country from whatever government is currently in power. And if the government is running the country that I love into the ground... We rally around flags not people.
I didn't say it was new. I said it was current. (And, um, unmotivated.)

We might also note that from the perspective of modern English, plurals in -en are more characteristic of Geoffrey Chaucer than of Alfred the Great. We preserve three such words: oxen, children, and brethren. But only one of those is an Anglo-Saxon form; in Old English, the plural forms of ċild and broþor are ċildru and broþru[1]. The -ens appeared later.

[1] "Brother" is a fairly irregular word, but there's no form ending in -n.
It's probably easier to lie to yourself about it than admit you made a poor choice of where to live or work.
Interesting - I should have qualified all that as US specific, I (stupidly) forgot you have debit card pins as well.
My understanding is that Breaking Points at least is mostly funded by direct donations to purposely protect them from censorship by YouTube. I take their perspectives with a grain of salt and their discussions can get long winded. However, in comparison to main stream media, these programs provide far more detail and context than a 2 minute soundbite of talking points straight from the White House or the CIA.
The BBC actually used to be independent and held the government to account. That all changed with David Kelly.

It isnt bought by private individuals but if the rest of the media that is is bleating the same tune it will follow. The end result is the same.

Every time they step out of line the government threatens to cancel the TV license.

Theyre also lacking in sheer journalistic manpower these days. It almost doesnt matter how impartial they are if they mainly crib from twitter, reprint press releases and report on government edicts.
Even within BBC News, there is notably different content between the World Service and home stations.
Compilers should really implement such thing... Can't it be a GCC extension or something?
So did Clinton about the 2016 election and she still claims the same. Along with her consistent hardline that Trump is a Putin Puppet - which is misinformation that has been proved false again & again at great expense to the taxpayer - but still gets published.

Could this be used to prevent double spends by marking such a spend as 'an illegal update'?

I imagine not, but I wonder what limitation of CRDTs would prevent this.
> BBC News is incredibly biased pro-government.

If anything it's pro status-quo or pro establishment it has a bias towards liberal democratic values and the norms. As politics swings about, the BBC has a dampening effect which is valuable.

So if you look at the extreme of Johnson's incompetance, you will see the BBC scrutinising it quite heavily - but similarly with Corbyn in the past.

The fact that government culture secretary Nadine Doris is attacking the BBC puts into context your assertion that it is 'incredibly pro government'.

The BBC News department recognised the problems with 'false balance' several years ago and I think that it's got a lot better on that front. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/sep/07/bbc-we-g...
I don't think that's true. They're probably referring to the people who fall down into alt-right/whatever radical group "rabbit holes." These people aren't radical from the outset. I'd say the real issue is the youtube algorithm, which causes the radicalization "highway" in the first place, but apparently youtube can't be bothered to fix their harmful algorithm, and would rather delete the content that is being promoted by it.
Nobody is talking about it because in-office workers run errands, slack off and coast through day as well. This is nothing new. The movie Office Space even made jokes about this back in 1999 [1]. However, what you seem to be advocating for, whether intended or not, is more micromanagement.

Interesting point: nobody has used a fusion bomb in a war.

It was threatened this week, though. I don't think that has happened in a long time.
Actually it's worse, there are lots of media publishing opinions, factoids, and things interesting to their audience. But depending on which media you read you are going to end up with a very different understanding of what is going on.

Russia has used this polarization to its advantage in recent years by adding its own targeted misinformation to the mix designed to further increase polarization (as opposed as to merely convincing people of their notion of the truth). Weaponized propaganda basically. Divisions in society erode the strength of alliances like NATO, it causes people to vote for outlier politicians, etc. Zelenski is a good example of such a politician where this actually backfired: he really stepped up. But the strategy was perhaps successful in the sense that Ukrainian governance has probably not been that great in recent years. The usual mix of populism, inept politicians, corruption, and mismanagement.

The Russians are world leading experts when it comes to mass delusion, propaganda, and misinformation and they completely control domestic media and information distribution. As far as many Russians are concerned this is a peace mission that is being frustrated by armies of neo-nazis sponsored by evil westerners. That's the official narrative right now. It's bat shit crazy of course but it follows many years of misinformation, indoctrination, and propaganda in a country that hasn't had a free press for a long time to correct any of these believes.

Also a note of caution: The Russians are extremely clued in and all over public fora like this. So, beware that what you read might be written by them. It might look and sound reasonable to you but that doesn't mean it isn't carefully designed to manipulate you into disagreeing with others. It would be preying on your confirmation bias. It doesn't matter what that bias is, they'll feed it. It's a divide and conquer strategy. They'll happily feed inflammatory opinions to both sides of a debate just to make them hate each other some more.

If you hadn't noticed, politics were kind of intense lately.
Another theory being thrown around is that Putin also wants to reduce Russia's western defensive line by reducing it down to 600 km versus the 2000+ km it currently has after the break up of the Soviet Union. By taking non-nato nations on the European side, its back to the original line before the pre-soviet collapse.
Oops, I interpreted it the other way around, that you can't make money off something that is free because you don't take any money for it. My bad.
Some sites are blocked for sure from what I understand including FB but keep in mind their popular internet is different that in US. For example VK.com is very popular there instead of FB.
