How serious should we really take such initiatives? Since the 1990s, the topic has popped up regularly, but apparently by people with little technical expertise or economic imagination. Regardless of how less these people value free speech, any state with a market economy, i.e. in which economic activities are based on the initiatives of its citizens, must protect the secrecy of communications between its citizens simply for economic reasons. Otherwise, the country's economy would be fundamentally exposed to foreign powers, putting national security at the highest risk: financial transactions could be more easily manipulated, trade secretes more easily stolen, etc.

The convenience stores are amazing, but there's a massive list of things to eat there that covid has since cut me off. I'm a fan of what you'd call b-class gourmet. The various donburi, to the curries and the sea of ramen subtypes. Japan I by far my favourite place in the world for food.

I'm just stuck here praying that some day they'll reopen their borders

They did. Technically you can't sell anything to a minor since they aren't allowed to enter into contracts. In practice everyone all over sells shit to minors and just crosses their fingers their guardians don't show up for their money back. Seems to work in practice.

Mastodon and federation is a very bad solution to the problem at hand and brings its own issues. There are benefits to centralization.

A good solution to this problem (and "growth and engagement" at large) is to make advertising-based business models less profitable (with better and enforced privacy regulation, more liability for the ads they run, or losing Section 230 protection for those who manipulate content's reach to maximize "engagement" as opposed to being a neutral communication platform where the user controls which content is shown to them, etc) so that businesses go back to the old model of the user paying for the service, aligning the incentives of the platform with what the users want.
I don't mind not owning cheaper things but when it comes to very high value purchases i.e. houses, cars etc, I'm not going to put capital in up front or leverage debt unless I actually own all rights to them. I don't mind renting them but the value proposition has to be decent and it's not for any EVs at the moment for my personal circumstances. It would be silly for almost everyone I know to invest in one as well and they only end up realistically as status purchases.

When my current, modest petrol vehicle becomes to cost inefficient to look after, I'm not going to bother getting another one. I live in a major city with good public transport so will leverage that, ride my bike and hire a car if I need one.

> Hungary was part of SU

Hungary was never part of the Soviet Union, though it was subjugated by the invasion.

> Ukraine is independent.

Not in any meaningful sense if it lets Russia dictate that it can not secure itself against Russia.

> Russia needs Ukraine as a buffer between NATO.

Yeah, when countries tell you they need your country for elbow-room, that’s not a positive sign of how the relationship is going to work out. Did you learn nothing from 20th Century Europe?

Also, what Russia is trying to build with a swathe through Eastern and Southern Ukraine and into Eastern Moldova isn’t a neutral buffer state, its an expanded Russian ethnonationalist state (or, at a minimum, a set of Russian ethnonationalist puppet states.)

> Also, being Neutral doesn’t mean being disarmed

Yeah, which why it is extraordinarily dishonest to portray Russia’s demands for Ukrainian demilitarization as mere demands for neutrality.

Yes. Japan has a lot of good food but like any other industrialised country it also has highly processed bad food. This includes ramen, all the usual crisps/chips type snack foods, and from the sounds of it, these combini sandwiches too (never been tempted to try them when I've been in Japan). It's continually disappointing to see so much faddish focus on these non-nutritious bad foods, written by shallow 'japan expert' bloggers.
I suspect part of it is that China was so cut off from the rest of the world for so long over the last century. When I was growing up through the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s the only asian culture you got exposed to was mainly Japanese culture and Hong Kong movies. Mainland China was a cultural black box. Even the Chinese culture we did have access to, like "The Water Margin" and "Monkey" TV shows were Japanese productions.
I agree, I think Twitter’s argument that the Home feed is actually more interesting for most people is accurate.

I myself tend to stick on Home. However, there are times when I want to be on Latest, particularly if there’s an event on or developments are happening at a rapid pace.

The old UI seemed ideal to me. It gave people the choice to choose what their default was. Now, they’ve taken that away… to what end? Force pushing people over to Home who expressly don’t want it probably isn’t going to work.
My impression here that this sort of problem is a progressive problem though, seeing that the worst cases I see around here are always the progressive cities(Sf, etc). The right have their own issues, but this doesn't seem as severe in their strongholds?

Or perhaps it's a city thing. How does this compare to other cities?

I think Japan cultural was/is seen as both ‘untainted’* due to their historical isolationism and the ability to mostly resist foreign encroachment and sufficiently sophisticated enough not be considered inferior which makes it pretty unique from the western perspective.

At the risk of making sweeping generalisations about tax law interpretations in multiple jurisdictions…

I’ve lived in numerous countries and they’ve all applied either one or both of the following to such a situation:

* the shares are deemed “at risk” because of the exit clause, and so are not yet taxable. In Australia _I think_ you need to explicitly declare that treatment in the first tax return that the event happens, and you’d be losing some of the benefit of the long term capital gains tax discount as a result. I’d need to double check with my accountant on the specifics, but I know he suggested such a thing at one point.

* the nominal value at the time is tiny fractions of a cent per share because the company has no assets or income. So you just take the tax hit, which ends up being something like $1.
> Russia wants both neutral status and demilitarization.

No, it wants demilitarization and a binding commitment against allying with the West.

It has never asked for a neutrality agreement like the one imposed on Austria, and fairly overtly hopes (and would almost certainly help) a pro-Russian government to come to power once it had permanently separated Ukraine from the West, so it could establish a relationship like it has now with Belarus, and like it had with Uktraine before Yanukovych was deposed.

I was really just making a comment about the disparity between Bismark and Hitler. Bismark was a giant, in every sense of the word, while Hitler was sort of average.

> a true Prussian conservative

That's the issue. Bismark wasn't a true conservative. Conservatives of his time and place were anti-nationalist. Bismark merged nationalism, authoritarianism, and cultural chauvinism to produce a kind of new form of conservatism, that later turned out to be spectacularly dangerous. I don't particularly have anything against Bismark himself (he seems pragmatic and capable) but his legacy was extremely unfortunate.

I've been using Cockpit (https://getcockpit.com/) for a few internal and personal projects now.

It's lightweight and easy to use. Just upload the folder to your webspace (minimal PHP requirements!) and you are good to go.

Create some collections for you data, link them if needed, and you can immediately use them via the API endpoints AND also via a GUI for CRUD operations.

This is really great because my colleagues are non-technical and I don't need to write some frontend for them to update data and so on and can concentrate on the "real task".

Documentation on the other hand is awful, to the point where you better refer to the "inofficial documentation" (for the interested: https://zeraton.gitlab.io/cockpit-docs/) with no way to improve the official one.

So, while I LOVE the ease of use, I wondered if somebody has a recommendation for a similar solution which might be somewhat more "mature" in regards to the documentation.

Interviews tend to reflect culture: If your interviews are based on leetcode, then on at least some level you're being trained to associate "good at leetcode" with "good at this job."

I generally expect a leetcode interview to lead to either an environment where there's a lot of fires and putting out fires is the only high status thing (at which point maintenance and fundamentals get ignored - no one notices the service that didn't catch fire); or else you get a very snobbish environment where you're expected to memorize answers (at the expense of saying "I don't know" and spending a couple hours doing research)

(Some people are fine with this, of course, but I personally find it exhausting)
Are you sure you aren't just comparing Tesla vs other brands? Tesla is pushing the "smartphone"-style further/first and only does EVs. Whereas with other brands it does seem like they follow the same trend line towards that with both EVs and non-EVs in their ranges (and many would do it more if they could manage doing it, but traditional car companies and software is ... challenging)
I agree. I really like it but $120/year is really pushing it. This is similar to what I pay for services like Spotify and Netflix, which I use far more frequently. I could stomach a $50 annual plan, for example, and I suspect they'll find this price point will result in higher revenue/profit over many more accounts when they begin price discovery.

Is there any easy way to follow a couple of Twitter accounts in chronological order without having a Twitter account? Nitter is nice to follow individual accounts, but you have to go to each account 1 by 1 rather than create a personal timeline with chronological posts from different accounts.
As far as I know, Nitter reverse-engineers and uses the same API that their official web frontend uses. So while it can be made difficult and turned into a game of cat & mouse, it can't be "shut down" per se without also shutting down their own UI.
What Is Quickbooks Hosting?
Quickbooks hosting is a service that allows companies to have their software hosted on the Quickbooks website. Once the company has submitted their name and contact information, they can be accepted and they'll receive the software once it's completed. Website content is automatically updated so there are no need for manual updates. The company will also use up to five email newsletters to keep in touch with customers. The service offers an automated backup system; this means that if the host machine crashes, all of the data will be backed up automatically.

> "gain near-absolute freedom to act lawlessly and unilaterly around the world with impunity"

We have that. That's what you're witnessing. The United States has 750 military bases across the world. We have more strategic power stationed in foreign countries than the local military. Our navy has 19 ships which could be considered aircraft carriers. We have the most space based defense assets of anyone in space. Space Command is just that, with a real dominating view of orbit. We can project our authority ANYWHERE on earth at a moments notice. And when we come; you don't see us coming. We earned this reputation.

You just witnessed russia spend 10% of its ground units to gain virtually nothing. We spent 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq after destroying their military in mere days. We still lost.

Russia can not, will not, win. They just embarrassed themselves in front of the world. A retired US General recently put it best when he compared the strength of the Russian military to the Vermont National Guard.

Russia thought they had modernized their military but obviously they just blew it so out of proportion that they can no longer effectively control or maintain it.

I see no reason to bend to russia. They are obviously losing and they are embarrassing themselves in the process. If anything, more countries will join NATO after seeing such a pathetic offensive from an obviously broken Russia.

Everytime someone invokes an argument how taking something away by law prevents some form of crime, my answer is a simple fact:

Criminals, by definition, don't follow the law.

Now, in some cases, that isn't a problem: Guns are an obvious example, because they take resources and knowledge to manufacture, and are physical objects that can be tracked. Taking these away by law works.

But encryption isn't a physical object or something that needs to be manufactured. It's math and algorithms. It can be copied infinitely. So, if the law takes that away, law abiding people will no longer have access to the benefits, while criminals will just ... well, as criminals by definition do, ignore the law, and still use encryption.

A jam sandwich is what a British parent might serve a young child when, for whatever reason (illness, continued tantrums etc) they can't get them to eat anything else, or when they can't really afford much else. I doubt I've eaten one since I was about 12 years old.

I thought PB&J sandwiches took the same place in the USA, but it seems they're eaten more routinely, including by adults. They obviously aren't cakes, but if I were to position them in a buffet it would be right next to the cakes.

So far, from EV "data" (between " because I've read of them, not having them nor being able to really know how trustable they are) modern LiIon (i.e. LiFePo batteries) last 5 year of intense usage, 8 if the usage is less intense. And so far we are unable to recycle lithium batteries (while we almost entirely recycle classic plomb ones), productive capacity from raw materials yet unknown so we actually do not even know if we can build batteries for all on scale and for how many years since lithium itself is not so rare, but not so abundant.

Beside that my home can run on battery, my car probably can for most of it's usage (i.e. not counting long range trips) but trucks can't, yes we can build a classic EU 18m+ truck on batteries, only it halve it's load capacity and almost double the route time. We can push railroads of course, in the past in EU there were far more railroads than now (just http://carfree.fr/img/2015/06/sncf.jpg as an example) but that demand energy, in quantity.

IMVHO choosing nuclear for "industry and critical appliance" is mandatory, but in that case there is little interest for large renewable deploy, I do not see any other option: you can't run a solar panel factory on solar just as an example: it demand too much energy. You can't run an aluminum foundry on solar, you can't produce/recycle much glass on solar etc.

About EV adoption: yes they grow, following the high price of oil and the growth of domestic p.v. personally if I decide to buy an EV in most cases I can power it for free, unfortunately such EV is absurdly expensive and have exactly zero resale value so compared to classic ICE vehicle is an extremely overpriced crap... Of course if the trend will continue, since I need a car I'll have no other logical choices but that's far from being really convenient nor environmental friendly nor sustainable.
In that case everyone should become a criminal.
