I figure they are betting that Ukraine will be sooner or later part of Russia.
I support this as an avid DDG user. Russian disinformation is a new kind of warfare that we've not inoculated ourselves against yet. This is a step in that direction. “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.”

Japan's expressways are privatized and tolled per-kilometer. They are competing with long-distance train lines, so the toll is in the same ballpark as a train ticket (about 13000 yen or $110 from Tokyo to Osaka).

The privatization of the expressways was pretty much enabled by the viability of the rail networks, which are also mostly privatized, mostly profitable, and extremely well-built.
It's very strange seeing the option near the bottom of the page to donate a fraction of your revenue from Stripe Crypto to carbon recapture efforts. I agree with Stripe that, at this point, the solution to our climate problems must include carbon recapture, but it's not an ideal situation to be in.

Businesses entering the crypto space always seem to tout carbon offsets and sidechains that use less energy, but offsets are insufficient, and NFTs minted on sidechains inevitably migrate to Mainnet, where they're just as environmentally destructive as any other NFT, or they fail.

Stripe's carbon recapture efforts seem to be in the same category. Recapture is good, but not nearly as good as not emitting the carbon in the first place. If Stripe's support of crypto increases the use of blockchains, the overall impact of extra carbon emissions could very easily outpace all the carbon recapture they'll ever achieve.

It's a shame. When Stripe announced their carbon recapture efforts, I was impressed by how sincere they seemed in finding solutions to climate problems. Next to Stripe Crypto, however, it appears to just be greenwashing.

(And to head off the replies, I know all about proof-of-stake, but it's not relevant here. I'm unconvinced it will work, and even if it does, the ecological damage done and being done in the meantime is massive. If Stripe really cared about carbon emissions, they'd wait to launch Stripe Crpyto only on proof-of-stake blockchains, and only after they proved that the energy usage at scale was similar to the energy use for transferring fiat currency.)
You know, I am beginning to see that all that talk about mass psychosis caused by social isolation due to Covid and lockdowns was onto something. It explains a lot of what is happening right now. People are hyper-focused on only one thing and pay zero attention to long-term and larger-context consequences of their actions. And proud of it.
I think that’s a reasonable request. Inflation rose at a 7.9% annualized rate in February. However, I’ve always been bothered by the official inflation numbers as they use a single gameable metric (CPI) to describe a complex phenomenon.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) uses a single number to explain a general rise in prices that affects different consumer segments very differently. For example, it uses a methodology that basically excludes house prices by instead measuring owner equivalent rent. So a 30% y/y increase in house prices is under-reported.

Also is uses a specific basket of consumer goods to measure price increases, one that largely excludes high inflation items such as energy, healthcare and higher education. If these things are important to you, your personal inflation rate is likely much higher.

Finally, the CPI is calculated using a process of hedonic adjustments - but these only work one-way. For example, if steak gets too expensive, then the CPI basket may swap out ground meat instead, but if the price of a 50” flat screen TV comes down, then it is reflected in CPI with no hedonic adjustment.
Truthful and media are basically a juxtaposition these days. "Inflation rose .8% in February..." probably just doesn't have the same ring. Although they could have just said "YoY Inflation rose 7.9% in February..."
The non-stick properties of seasoned cast iron are a bit overstated. Yes, its a lot better than stainless steel, or unseasoned, but any number of foods (eggs) will stick regardless of how much oil you add ahead of time. And unlike some of the nonstick coated pans, you always need at least some fat/oil in them during cooking.

So some of it is what you expect, cast iron is basically non stick for lots of things (AKA I would never use anything other than cast iron for pancakes/etc), but I keep a couple Henckels Capri Notte Granitium pans we picked up at cosco handy for the morning eggs. Those seem to be the survivors at this point of a long series of trial and error with non-teflon coatings, most of which seem to work fine for a month or two and then are non stick at the same level as one might expect from cast iron. I have no idea how much I've spent buying pans a few times a year at $20-50 a pop to replace worn out nonstick over the past 10 years.
Does it need to? Also what would Tesla contribute back, considering they're not actually in the gaming business?
Wouldn't it average out over time anyway? I.e. sometimes you're unlucky and have to wait twice as long as if you'd arrived to the queue a bit later, sometimes you're lucky and have your wait time cut in half. Over many store trips it's halfway between the one-queue and two-queue processing time.

Can these code changes be automated with a tool?

One of the strengths of Go and Java is the ease of writing tools. C++ on the other hand is a mess since it's hard to look through templates (concepts probably help) and macros (good luck).
If we're being pedantic (and pedantry matters for safety!) C hasn't been a subset of C++ for a while: they have different type aliasing rules (well-defined aliases in C can be UB in C++), different direct initialization syntaxes, flexible array members, etc.
Presumably using `#[no_panic]` would require `#[no_std]`? Would you be allowed to use unchecked arithmetic, which panics in dev builds but not release builds?
The announcement makes me suspect that it's down-ranking results not for what they are, but who it's from. That is, penalizing results based on their being from a disfavored source.
Didn't know they had this kind of ads since I'm using adblock. I agree this is pretty bad.
It's funny because some Bitcoin evangelists point to the US govt's 1933 confiscation of a gold as a reason to use Bitcoin instead.

... How is nabbing a gold ingot and different than nabbing a storage device? If anything, the threat surface of a digital wallet is much greater (you could steal it remotely if the user doesn't have good cybersecurity practices, unlike a gold ingot).
On the contrary, I am not NASA. I'm not even a consumer electronics company. I'm a hobbyist at home, soldering things at my desk or table. Lead-free is the least of my problems when building something and I don't believe "just wash your hands" is sufficient for cleaning my workspace (or kitchen table?) of possible lead contamination.
Ask HN: What does a career in 'analytics' look like in 2022?
All else being equal, once growth starts it is likely to start everywhere on that board. This is a probabilistic assumption based on the likelihood of all of the solder on that board being from the same batch and having been applied with the same process parameters. The same cannot be said of the device leads, where each manufacturer and batch could very well be different.

It's quite a nightmare, particularly when you are trying to figure out if this stuff can kill people you want to send into space. The only real mitigation is lead-based solder and coatings on components.

Cleaning? That can be both dangerous and highly ineffective. The whiskers are very strong due to their molecular scale. Mechanical brushing might fracture longer whiskers. Then you have the problem of ensuring that they don't go under devices or in-between contacts. The process would likely have to be repeated many times and include both manual and automated optical inspection as well as x-ray imaging (which might not be able to detect fine whiskers). And then there's the reality that you probably don't want to inhale these things at all.

So, off to the landfill we go. It is likely better to build a new board than to try to clean one. I can't even begin to compute the delta in carbon footprint between making a board with lead-based solder that will last decades and the "clean/green" RoHS board that is sure to end-up in a landfill (cleaning/fixing it is bound to have a massively larger carbon footprint that making a new board).
Did DDG say they're upranking "good" propaganda and downranking "bad" propaganda? What I understood from the tweets is that DDG is downranking propaganda. Russia happens to produce a lot of it, so they'd be more impacted.
> they call it the "pad" tool instead of "extrude" but otherwise it's identical

They call it something Illogic and non-standard which means you have to Google it but otherwise it's identical!

To be honest extruding a square was meant to be an exaggerated example but it sounds like it wasn't such an exaggeration!
Anyone upset about down ranking propaganda need to get their priorities straight. Why would you want to use a search engine that serves intentionally bad information?

I have stopped eating sugar at New Years and so far it is working out well.

I am not overweight and rub every day but still my body composition is not ideal. I am not willing to count calories and my needs vary wildly with running volume. By cutting out the most abused ingredient I get rid of a ton of unhealthy choices as sugar is in all of them. Subsequently I need to eat healthier. No downsides so far. Weight loss is slow but without consciously cutting calories I was expecting that. I am down 1kg and if I can lose a total of 3-4 I am already happy. My wife once lost 12kg with just that one change so it is not limited to the small weight loss I experienced.
Why do you think this war is about NATO expansion? Even though Ukraine drifted to NATO, NATO would never take Ukraine as a member having conflict wit Russia in east of Ukraine and with Crimea being anexated.
> You've got a belligerent government in Europe in charge of a major military power that's attacking it's neighbors

That's the History of Europe since there are people in Europe though. I don't get why people get so fixated on Hitler to be honest. The Russians fought him in ww2 do you think they identify as him ? Why not compare Putin to Stalin ? Soviets also invaded Ukraine.

I think the comparison is much dumber than that. People think Putin is bad, they also think Hitler is the badest of the bad, and that's enough for them to start calling him "Putler". Meanwhile you have literal neo nazis fighting for Ukraine against Russians right now, ironic.
I would say for something like Cities yes...for Elder Scrolls 4 yes...for the next EA game no ;)
"Little or no consideration has been given to the possibility that higher prices may simply be the market allocating resources and not inflation.

Prices reflect the indifference levels where buyers and sellers meet.

If, for example, there is a freeze in Brazil, the price of coffee may go up. The higher price accommodates the transfer of the remaining supply of coffee from the sellers to the remaining buyers"

> but do you really want your search engine to default to providing results from someone with a very clear agenda and a history of abusing their influence to carry out that agenda?

This is a very strange strawman. The implicit assumptions in this question are:

- That DuckDuckGo 'defaulted' to RT or to some other Russian media, which is hardly the case. It is the task of a search engine to infer, from its users' behaviour, which resources they find the most useful in providing answers to given queries.

- That other sources do not have a clear agenda :-)
My question also.
>He wants Ukraine because they're the breadbasket of the Eastern Bloc. He wants to expand Russia's territory. Just look at Crimea.

I would argue he wants Ukraine so he can protect and control the energy (gas/oil) supply and maintain his personal position, power, and control and his (Russia's) position over Europe (because they are dependent on "him" and Russian energy (gas/oil).
This might be a stupid question but I had to ask.

- This certificates has to be accepted by browsers which most developed by western companies (Like emphasized on the article). So you have to manually add TLS certificate to these browsers. (Which does not sound safe since these service will own by Russian Government)

- Even if they find a solution for this problem. There are many sanction on SWIFT, which will not allow users of this sites to have a purchase.

So is this service is only for their own citizens? If so, why not they just ban other browsers? (We all know how authoritarian and crazy the regime over there. They can kinda do that?)

This national TLC certificate authority not sound so smart. It's like having your own Credit Rating Agency which no body gives a shit about.

Am I missing something?

Well... Honestly I dream a simple car, not full of crappy sw and hw that's are by themselves an issue, as probably many, many, many others but that's not where carmakers push: they push toward cars-as-a-service model, so they need completely different cars and they know there is essentially no more room for small carmakers we have had decades ago in most developed countries, so they can steer the market not fearing any new player.

Golf-cart-style e.v. will probably be the future city-car and beside that, behind the super-expensive hypercar probably only some still expensive and still crappy models probably will exists so... It's an era that for next half a century at least it's simply gone...
Your assertion is not falsifiable, but I would otherwise take the other side of that bet.
They've also fluctuated quite a bit. I remember paying $1.95/gallon for gas in early 2020.
That's the context where it originated, but that distinction is probably lost to most people outside the ai/tech scene.
You can currently take physical possession of commodities including all the precious medals, one doesn't have to allow their stock certs to be help by others, cash and other such methods still work but most people chose to let middlemen do it for them, just like most people do for Crypto judging by the market valuations of some of those companies.
I don't know if what 16 year old me did will help you, but I solved my overweight with bulimia - forcefully throwing up after eating a chunk of food. I figured that I didn't care if my stomach was filled or not, I just wanted to eat. Once I ate, it didn't matter if my stomach was empty. If it was empty, I could just drink water and be fine for another couple of hours. So I would throw up all the food I ate on purpose, then drink water. Repeat this for 3 times a day, and you're going to sleep with only water.

The upside, I lost weight very, very quickly.
The downside, I'm 21 years old, skinny, but still do it. It's like an unhealthy addiction, and it's a disorder that I don't know how to get rid of.
a mix of both with a slider to parametrize the sentiment of the results "it's pure evil VS itls good"

or I dunno... it's a near-waste of time to imagine what this could/should be as I'm in no poisition to build it.
Ahh, a question I get a lot, thank you for asking :)

Stripe is a payments company -- they are great at payments. They offer a full suite of tools (like subscriptions) around payments. But this is not their core competency.

Usage-based billing has three core components:
* Defining pricing plans
* Metering usage to generate invoices
* Processing payments

Stripe is great at processing payments. But when it comes to defining usage-based pricing plans, and especially when it comes to metering usage, Stripe is actually pretty weak.

Pricing in Stripe is pretty brittle. You create products which have price IDs, and your code needs to understand these concepts. To evolve pricing for a customer, or to define a new pricing plan for an enterprise contract can be a pretty tricky thing to do.

And streaming usage data into Stripe is actually something that Stripe's docs recommends against. They recommend you aggregate your own usage metrics and post them infrequently into Stripe. Again, payments processing, not usage metering.

Kable's sweet spot as it pertains to billing is the first two items in that list. Pricing plans are super easy to define, manage, and evolve in Kable. Usage metering is our core competency. You don't need pricing concepts or external identifiers in your code. You record the *core concepts from your app* and Kable handles the rest.

I have never met a physics student that even knows what functional analysis even is, despite it being at the core of quantum mechanics.

Randall Monroe has a comic about how most people need enough math to be able to handle a birthday dinner where the guests split the bill for the birthday boy/girl evenly and pay for their meals and tip separately.

That’s a pretty good bar and I wonder if we could just cut to that chase earlier. But I also believe that people need enough math to see when they’re being cheated, and I feel like you could just tell middle schoolers that and they would pay attention. Maybe even primary school.

Isn't 500Mio kind of nothing to get fusion working in 2 years?
Maybe to some degree. A lot of it is that in most conflicts both sides have some credible arguments, I disagree with the degree of responses and general treatment of WB and Gaza, but Israel usually claims with some degree of truth to be responding to attacks during their incursions and bombings, while noone believes Russia had a valid reason to invade Ukraine.
Is anyone really that surprised? Beware companies that sell virtue. They tend to be the least virtuous. Don't be evil? Easily one of the most evil companies to have ever existed. When DDG's prime selling point was not their service but their "virtue", you knew it was a shady company. Though I do hope DDG, Bing, etc are able to gain some market share to break google's stranglehold on search, DDG is at heart no better than google morally. They are out to make a buck, nothing more, nothing less, like google. If you think DDG cares one lick about your privacy or free speech, then you are fooling yourself.
That sounds like not understanding it.
> Do you believe the West would go to war with Russia, only to add a few members to a giant military alliance that was designed for a post-WWII world?

No, I believe that alliance will defend its members, and given that Russia can't even successfully bully the poorest country in Europe, it is in no position to start a war over Finland or Sweden.

Of course Ukraine won't be a part of NATO.

The US can't withdraw from Europe, unless it wants to see the American hegemony collapse overnight. And if we know anything about empires, it's that they will keep hold on what they've spent decades building long past the point of positive ROI or reason.
