I am reading Iron Kingdom, a history of Prussia, and was struck by how often it gained and lost territories. After every war (and Prussia fought a lot of wars), it won/lost chunks while also gaining/giving up chunks elsewhere. Silesia, Hanover, Saxony ... the various states that it absorbed/traded lands with are difficult to keep track of. Heck, "Prussia" was originally the term for land east of the original land, centered around Berlin, that the Hohenzollern monarchy ruled; after annexing it the term for that bit of new land somehow became applied to the country as a whole.

The Silesians, Hanoverians, Saxons, etc. all viewed themselves as different people from the Brandenburgs/Prussians and each other. As toyg said, ethnic-based nationalism—viewing themselves as "Germans" and thus deserving a single German nation—is a 19th-century phenomenon; further, the various German states (not excluding Prussia) viewed and suppressed such nationalism as subversive. Mutual cooperation nonetheless grew during the century, notably the customs union.
There is a big market of creatives/artists who basically own an apple product as a decent chunk of their personality, for good or bad. Ergo, they'll sell.
"Like" is the wrong word. Silence is best, but if there are lots of auditory distractions in your environment then white noise drowns them out pretty well and just fades into a background hum for me.

I'd take white noise over distracting background noises (i.e., roommates, coffee shops) in a heartbeat. The point isn't to enjoy the sound per se, it's to block distractions.

But yes, I do prefer brown noise over white noise by a wide margin.
Honestly, as someone in their early 30's who knows very little about the investment world, I'm still just dollar cost averaging into my Vanguard index tracking ETF's — Same amount, same day of the month.

I have held some shares in tech companies that I personally believe in but that's more for fun and with money I'd be okay not having tomorrow.

Maybe it's just a case of ignorance is bliss but ignoring the noise and following that strategy has been working so far for me so don't plan on altering it currently.
That's a "you are holding it wrong" kinda argument. If you pay 1.5k for a monitor you should be able to expect a stand that doesn't shake if you bump into your table a bit.
Abortion isn't an either or position. There are quite a few position and this stat only shows a single one: 15-20% believe it should be illegal in all cases. What about the subset who believe it should only be legal for rape victims. Or only plan B style drugs (I'm not sure how the linked data classifies the responses, but some people do consider such drugs on the same level as abortion). Or only by first trimester. Or only by second trimester. Or until birth? Or some other position that I am not able to remember off the top of my head?
Maybe short term. Helping a company grow that is know to lock down their products and force developers to pay them for access might not be the best long term plan overall.
Well... Since you don't want to use Firefox and that anything Chromium-based is highly (NOT) recommend (really!), that leaves you with........

Lynx

Really, any thing is better than Chromium based browsers...
And Lynx is actually great! (If you like this kind of software!!!)

There is also Firefox based browsers... But I'm not sure you would like them...
It’s a larger problem IMO that most corporation HR and PR doesn’t actually understand social justice and equity and the issues minorities face. It’s like how lots of companies put out shallow “we support BLM” or “we support gay rights”, and adopt terms like African American or Latinx where the people being referred to don’t even care.

There are plenty of women who have done great things benefitting everyone. But PR focuses on a certain type of “Women’s Rights” woman, who tends to also belong to other minorities and promote more social justice and equity themselves. Ironically this makes the people being promoted less diverse.

There are rumors of DNS resolvers deciding that some TTLs are “too low” to be valid, and applying their own default TTL value instead, thereby negating any benefit a low TTL would have had.
That timeline grossly misrepresents the nature of the sanctions and is nothing more that a hit piece by a propaganda arm of the Venezuelan government.

There is no freedom of press in Venezuela.

Their take on law 113-278 is blatantly false.

It can have a twisted meaning that could imply a silenced friend will never betray you.. :)
Is this sarcasm? If not, I'd love to hear the rationale behind this, as to me this seems far less objectionable than lots of things which happen on mainstream Twitter.
not saying it is, but what happens if polling is an echo chamber too?
I still remember the Dixie Chicks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Chicks_controversy
If given a topic like "lgbtq" issues, the debate is not "Do gay people get basic rights?". Nobody is actually having that debate anymore and you're fighting straw men.

Ie, these debates are not between "pro-lgbtq" and "anti-lgbtq".

Instead most of these debates are more nuanced and complicated. I picked the "trap" debate because it's hotly contested, with both sides swearing up and down they are pro-lgbtq and both sides would even claim to be more pro-lgbtq than their opponents.

Which is to say, you can probably ignore the debate and not care, still be pro-lgbtq, and go back to playing your board game, even with friends who have a different ideological position on that particular debate.

A lot of social media fights are about this scale.
Point taken. Though Putin to Medvedev and back wasn't really a transfer of power :)

Also, if you haven't seen "Death of Stalin", it's an excellent dark comedy, if a bit historically inaccurate.

It's a little funny looking, proportionally speaking, but I am so happy to see some ports on the front. It can be incredibly awkward to try and find ports on the back of a machine. At first glance it seems a little expensive, but the value based on performance is actually fantastic. Well done, apple.
This is what I've been thinking as well, a M2 in a Mac Pro with 128/256gb soldered and up to 2TB 8 channel DDR5-6400 expandable, and do a tiered memory cache
I use an IOGEAR Thunderbolt 2 KVM[0] that lets you switch thunderbolt between two computers. I use this in conjunction with three TB2 -> TB3 adapters[1] and a CalDigit TS3+[2] (which drives my DisplayPort monitor). It's janky, but it works, and I don't really notice the speed difference dropping down to TB2 speeds since the only TB3 peripheral I hang off the CalDigit is an audio interface.

At some point I actually had a TB2 only computer I wanted to KVM switch with a TB3 laptop so this weird setup made more sense then.

Interesting, could it be possible to elaborate which listening device you are using?
2x of everything apart from storage, ram, available software, ability to upgrade, ability to repair.

It was a fantastic product launch sure but it's not really fair to say it was 2x better on all metrics at a given price.
> Ukraine started the conflict

Let's be precise here...
You are right, these scrips could only be loaded after user consent.
Yes, certainly. I don't think that's relevant in this case, though. Why would anyone care if their workstation CPU draws 60W or 200W? It's easy to cool in either case and the power consumption is trivial.

M1 is clearly the best design on the market for mobile devices and is merely very good for desktops. Let's keep the enthusiasm realistic.
This is how I see it too. It'll be obvious to anyone where those aircraft have come from. Poland isn't going to deflect responsibility this way.

Poland can't afford to donate it's air power so readily, but the USA allows them to with this move. It will also shift their military to be more on spec with other NATO countries.
As a TMobile customer, I've been getting MLB.TV free for years, but sadly due to the MLB it's basically been worthless because of black out rules.

The Cubs have hated their fans since winning the world series and the majority of their games are now only available on an extremely regional cable network instead of the over the air WGN. I have no intention of ever getting cable and annoyingly signing into my parents account also doesn't work due to the station being regional. I suspect the MLB is losing out on huge numbers of younger fans like me who stream only, would like to watch games, but literally only watch a couple games a year in person because it's such a hassle to try and watch at home.

This is only an exciting development if the games aren't subject to black out rules, which I doubt.
I know this isn't the main takeaway from the article, but I'm highly suspect of the "independence" of voters claiming to be independent. This is merely anecdote, but many people I know who claim to be independent are really just "aspirationally-independent". The like to think of themselves as open-minded and independent, but when they vote, they vote one way, and one way only. Looking into it a bit, this is not uncommon: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/few-americans-who-ident... and https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2014/01/0....
One of the most heartbreaking things I ever learned about was the high levels of lead in Mexican candy. This is apparently mostly due to the inks used in the packaging.

The following paper also pegs pottery as an issue. Just devastating.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221499961...

> Our results indicate that more than 15% of the population will experience a decrement of more than 5 IQ points from lead exposure. The analysis also leads us to believe that lead is responsible for 820,000 disability-adjusted life-years for lead-induced mild mental retardation for children aged 0 to 4 years.
Ukraine might get handheld anti-tank or anti-air missiles, but they don't get heavy equipment like long-range surface-to-surface or SAM missiles. If they use artillery, they risk counter-battery fire or air attacks.
"M1 Ultra Pro Max", wen?

Naming scheme aside, this is great!
One thing that helps (a tiny bit) is to go to newest tweets first instead of the algorithm. This cuts out all of the likes (which are 99% noise for me… I wish I could make it so people didn’t see my likes, that is what retweets are for!)

Still gonna get the retweets, but you won’t get the most “engaging” stuff brought to your attention which tends to be the worst.

This is actually relatively comforting to me. Putler is at least trying to say they are using precision strikes.

A lot harder to uphold once a tactical nuke is used... My worry after the world is so blatently defying Putler with MiGs & other armarments...
That isn't all you need to know from the article. That's about the amount that fits into a tweet and lacks a lot more context.

For example, the different types of oil and the way US refineries are setup. That's useful context to know more about the situation.
They can easily add support for rendering at 3x. iOS has supported that since iPhone 6 Plus. The only thing that's missing from macOS is a switch to turn it on, and produce all the UI assets at 3x.

No, I don't think Poland feels comfortable in doing this. The West broke alliances with Poland over and over, as convenient, and just broke the Budapest Manifesto with Ukraine. See the Phoney War and the Warsaw Uprising for a good history.

Poland feels _more_ comfortable doing this than the alternative, though. If Russia stands unopposed in Ukraine, who do you think is next?
It’s politically toxic to try and commission a study on the intelligence of one race/gender versus another.
There are many stories out there that there will not be an iPhone 14 mini
The second-gen iPhone SE supports eSim - I use a SIM card for Verizon and then another carrier with eSim. I can have both active at once, make calls, etc. Uses more battery but is super practical.

Is this what you were talking about?

There is a 100% chance they will require a licence. For example:

I think early reluctance had a lot to do with expecting anything advanced or large that was sent to be destroyed, or to be irrelevant by the time it could be brought into use (time to get it there, training time, then time to move it into a useful position). That they think Ukraine will still be able to field aircraft by the time this transfer is done, is itself interesting.
Yeah, I had a 7 and held on to it for a while hoping a smaller form factor would come out. Then when the original SE launched in 2020 I just gave up hope on a small phone and bought it since my 7 was dying. A few months later the Mini came out, which was annoying timing. I'd be interested in the Mini, but I generally keep my phones at least a few years.

iPhone 4 was my favorite form factor. I just want something I can use with one hand.
> Because in general, those conversations are about important things that affect your life.

the conversations are about important things that effect your life, the conversations themselves aren't important and don't actually effect your life.
No such distinction is necessary. I have a human right to be informed, even when that information is false.

Censorship doesn't just violates RTs rights to inform, but also violates my right to be informed.
Unfortunately with the technical jargon compounded by numerous typos I utterly failed to comprehend what points this article was making.
It's about plausible deniability from the chain of command. If bombs dropped on an airfield in Poland there is none.
I'm not terribly familiar with al jazeera, but aren't they largely independent? I mean sure, a lot of middle eastern countries use them as their mouth piece, but I'm not aware of them being state sponsored media. Just because their reporting slant and opinions aren't always western aligned doesn't make them state sponsored propaganda like RT most definitely is.
Why would you spend a huge chunk of your R&D money supporting a platform with users who don't game built by a company that won't spend a tiny amount of their R&D budget supporting industry standard technology that's been established for years.
If volume low, a cheap option would be to use Postmark (buy credits not their subscription). I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Otherwise, as you are already self hosting, getting a new box in a different datacentre (and provider) and use that for relaying could be an option. A tiny 1cpu, 512mb with an IP whitelist to your main server wouldnt set you back much. I bought a 2cpu 1GB for $40 annually.
Apple Discontinues 27-Inch iMac
So the Libyans asked NATO to stay after NATO worked to kill the previous leader? You see why that doesn't pass muster right? That's like "asking" for protection from the mob after the previous owner of your shop got his legs broken.

This could be difficult to understand but in Poland due to the history there is sentiment that country was betrayed or abandoned, not helped by allies at the start of WWII by Britain, France.

Of course it's not certainty as you wrote but the thought at the back of the head about history repeating itself and possibility of being considered as just the buffer zone and potential battle ground for western europe countries is there for many people - and that's why in addition to having borders with countries at war Poland may be perceived as treading twice as carefully in this situation.
It's amazing how porn really affects everything in subtle ways. If you don't really watch it, discuss it, or even know what the trends are, it's really confusing, because it seems like every technology is largely driven by porn.

In the past it seemed like the tech that came from it was great, the rest of us got higher resolutions to watch regular movies.

But now that there's way more non-porn drivers of consumer tech, it doesn't seem like anything interesting is coming from it.

I suspect the privacy at all costs culture we have(As opposed to the previous way of thinking where the internet was pretty much a public place, and fingerprinting wasn't really considered serious) is partly because of porn.

Which actively holds back adoption of new tech like IoT and new browser features, because nobody wants even a vague chance they might leak history or get hacked to listen in a bedroom, they'd rather not have the tech at all.

And of course, cryptocurrency.

Plus VR, which I'm not entirely sure will ever be as big as normal gaming and so far is pretty disappointing(The normal kind, I've never seen the porn kind) AR is a lot more interesting.

The FOSS scene is so negative on the idea of connecting everything and making tech more powerful. Porn seems to have gone from pro tech to anti tech.
CGI, CAD, rendering, driving huge screens, running live sporting events, scientific workloads, massive simultaneous automated app testing, etc. Just because you can’t imagine why someone would need that much compute doesn’t mean the use cases don’t exist.
I suppose the charitable argument for banning would be: it pollutes Twitter without extending any conversations or bringing anybody joy per se. Basically it's spam.

Certainly on HN that person would/should be banned right away (which is part of the reason HN is the best place on the internet).

But Twitter is a different animal. So are Reddit and 4Chan. Sarcastic copypasta is par for the course.

That was before people cared about performance per watt.

Besides for some use cases, these Mac Studios will be racked and in data centers as is.
It makes sense, although what I am concerned about is the cost. Apple isn't exactly know for providing services at or near cost.
My workstation has a 3990x.

Our "world" build is slightly faster on my M1 Max.

https://twitter.com/kiratpandya/status/1457438725680480257

The 3990x runs a bit faster on the initial compile stage but the linking is single threaded and the M1 Max catches up at that point. I expect the M1 Ultra to crush the 3990x on compile time.
neither group decides anything, they're just a few thousand people talking online.
"if acompanied with guarantees of no further agressions if Ukraine doesn't enter NATO or EU"

Such guarantees are worthless.

It's also clear that the rest of NATO is not willing to directly fight against Russia to save Ukraine, so NATO membership for Ukraine is just as worthless.

Yes, it'd be interesting to see this comparison made with current AMD CPUs and a full build that has approximately the same price.

I am curious whether there is a real performance difference?

I do lots of computing on high-end workstations. Intel builds used to be extremely expensive if you required ECC. They used that to discriminate prices. Recent AMD offerings helped enormously. I wonder whether these M1 offerings are a significant improvement in terms of performance, making it worthwhile to cope with the hassle of switching architectures?
Project seems really cool! The docs seem a little sparse, unfortunately. After reading through the calculator code I am still curious: how do you use a custom resolver for modules? I want to make something completely sandboxed.

> I really don't understand why they don't either (a) adopt Windows' approach of allowing rendering directly to any arbitrary scale

Windows is badly broken in this regard. I bought and returned a Microsoft Surface laptop because its rendering is broken: If you display a web page containing horizontal lines (like grid lines of an HTML table) then the lines will appear to have varying thickness even though they are all set to 1px. That's crap; I couldn't believe Microsoft is shipping this. If Windows scaling is set to anything other than 100% or 200% you will have this issue. Both 150% and 300% have this issue. I have never seen such issues on a Mac.
I’ve usually bought 1-2 generations behind, often at the $250-400 price point, and then run them for 3-4 years or so. I just replaced the battery on my wife’s X and that looks like it’ll now go well past the 4 year mark.

I do find it confusing, as I can put in numbers that get me well below a 3% withdrawal rate, but still have only 40% success rate. But I'm probably misunderstanding some of the mortgage sliders.
Another way to put it is just "someone bought shares at this price." which isn't really news.

the private market uses lingo that is different from the public markets, and then brags about it if convenient to do so, such as for other clout. amounts undisclosed if not convenient, such as if its too low or a "down round" which just means "someone bought shares at a lower price than the last person" which is also not really news in the public markets, but supposedly damning in the private markets.
