There's a model for applying sanctions to Russia, the 2012 sanctions on Iran. As long as buyers were reducing their oil imports over the prior 6 months, they could buy. The money is put into an escrow account owned by the sanctioned country. If the conditions for lifting sanctions are met, there's a pay day. The regime doesn't get money to fund war, the market avoids a price spike. Iran went along with it, I'm not sure how much choice they had. Whereas Russia could just say no, especially if China and/or India buys the overage (if they can get it there in volume). That's why there would need to be secondary sanctions.

A Certificate authority is someone/group that can create certificates for domains/websites. Anyone can create a certificate authority in 10seconds in cli. For instance it is common for corporations to create their own certificate authority and create certificates for their local intranet corp sites. The problem is that browsers need to trust this certificate authority.

- 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)

A CA or certs aren't unsafe because of russian government. Certs do 2 things: create an encrypted connection and prove that the website has payed/bribed a CA for a cert. Since Russian sites cannot bribe/pay western companies for a cert and because they are cutting themselves off the internet they (probably) will not be able to access free certs from letencrypt.

The article talks about man in the middle attacks. With a cert a browser can create an encrypted connected between itself and the website. If a person tries to listen in the middle they just get "gibberish" because its encrypted. If the Russian government is acting as the CA it means they have access to the private cert Russian websites are using. They could theoretically change the contents the website sends to the browser because they can create a secure/encrypted connection that is deemed "trusted". They could also modify routes that go to Facebook (because they control the local russian internet/intranet) and instead go to a dummy/fake version. That version could also have a valid & trusted cert issued by the Russian government and says "yes this is facebook".

- 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.

SWIFT doesn't matter here. If Russia Gov'n or a Russian based company create's a CA and a way to bribe/purchase certs then all is good for Russian websites. Russians just need to have the CA added to their browser or OS.

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?)

Browsers aren't the problem, the problem is the centralized "web of trust" used by browsers basically only includes CA from western countries. CA either are so large and used by so many websites that browser must included them as trusted, they bribed the browser maker with money (like Google does with Apple to get google search as default), or CAs come with the OS.

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.

CA are basically companies that websites/people/corps have to bribe to get a cert trusted by browers. Thanks to letsencrypt we can finally get around the cheapest level of bribes.
I see many people here worried about the disinformation potential of deepfakes. I think that that worry fundamentally ignores the fact that we'll just stop considering videos evidence.

A century ago, you could trust photos. Then, Photoshop came out, and the world didn't end, we just learned that we can no longer trust photos. Now we just won't trust anything, and it'll be one party's word against the other's.

Sure, this isn't as good as living in a world with objective proof, but I think we'll grow out of the short-term issues and find different ways of verifying truth.
Based on this, if you have a distaste for censorship, you probably should use Brave Search instead of DuckDuckGo. [1]

Also, if you are using DuckDuckGo to avoid gargantuan corporations, you should know that they are essentially Bing with some extra perks. Brave Search has its own index, it only falls back to Bing when it doesn't have enough results (which they claim happens only for a minority of queries).

Different countries today, but the etymology of the name remains telling. Belarus = Byelorussia = Belaya Rus = White Russia.
That's awful but is pretty much confirming my experience. At the revenue level they have, you'd assume they could do better, but presumably having a monopoly means they don't have to care.
They should though. There's no other way to understand this war.

Like, to an outsider it's mistifying why Putin is doing this, but even more mystifying why Russia is letting him - reading the news from their POV helps you understand that.

Without understanding that, you can't really understand how the war is going, or what the end game is.

Western news mostly just wants to tell you about atrocities, and how wonderfully Ukraine is doing against Russia.

I particular like programming/leading teams in the Visual Effects / Media space. On the intersection between art & tech.
Because the US would only use the weapons to defend good causes, never to invade other countries or sell them to anyone doing anything bad. I don't think Russia being worse suddenly makes the US the good guys.
Kettle Logic
This is for Russian websites serving Russian customers, using TLS certificates they had previously sourced from outside of Russia. Because of the sanctions, those websites can't pay to renew their certificates, so this Russian CA offers them domestic-sourced certificates that they can pay for. I'm certain they have no expectation whatsoever that anyone outside of Russia would install this CA certificate; it's not the point of this.

A ban is unnecessary; the websites don't work in other browsers. Switching to a Russian browser or installing the CA certificate will fix the websites. That's what Russian users will do if they want to continue using the websites. You don't need to use the stick when the carrot already exists.
Their claim is literally:

> We don’t store your personal information. Ever.

> Our privacy policy is simple: we don’t collect or share any of your personal information.

They are absolutely maintaining their promise. There's no evidence on their site that they have a promise of "non-interference of [our] users". Whatever that means.

I read through a lot of articles on spreadprivacy.com looking for evidence to back up your claim, and came up with nothing.
Can you be more specific than "Regulatory details are complex"? I think we would enjoy hearing about the complexity! :)
This is very surprising to me. I had no idea that certain conductors had some kind of (stochastic, according to robomartin) built-in time delayed short circuit mechanism that will, without question, manifest itself given enough time.

You don't want to do that. It's an optimization, not a "The compiler will guarantee there won't be exceptions thrown."

Maybe it's used as a sort of shibboleth and accidentally escaped internal communication into source code?

It does not seem to be spreading very much, though.
And a bunch of pro-Russian puppet states Putin is building by conquest of all (if he succeeds completely in Ukraine) or part (South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Transnistria, and, with only partial success in Ukraine, Donbas and Luhansk) of some former-Soviet European states. But, still, limited to a subset of ex-Soviet territory, not the broad expand of Eastern Europe right up through part of Germany that the old Iron Curtain contained.
> I just think censorship and cancellation is wrong and immoral, even if it is legally allowed. I think it is immoral for some business executive to make sweeping decisions about what the commoners are / aren't allowed to see

HN mods actively hide and remove content, including political content from sites like RT & Sputnik: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I don't think anyone is accusing HN of censorship or making oppressive decisions about what the commoners can / can't see. It's accepted that some level of curation and guidelines are needed to foster a healthy environment.

DDG (and HN) are not a public square, they're private companies conducting business according to their individual desires and motivations.

It would be equally folly to force HN to host political content as it would to tell DDG how they can and can't alter their proprietary ranking algorithms.

Censorship is really a problem when the government (or a monopoly) starts censoring content, with the ability to enforce that censorship nearly or practically universally. Until then, the free market will do it's work.
This seems wildly alarmist. I'm not sure anyone's arguing for the complete removal of cows from the ecosystem. I'm also confident people won't stop eating real beef, even if factory farming is reduced and real beef becomes slightly more novel.

This handle is in the archive links the article points to, and that's the important part.

Lunduke had this handle on his screen, and either missed it or chose to ignore it on purpose. The former is careless and sloppy, especially if you're trying to do journalism. The latter is very rude, to put it mildly.

It's harder to find news from that time (that time being pre-internet) that isn't based in approved propaganda than news that is.

The best thing to read about it would be Walter Lippmann in general, but starting with Public Opinion.
DuckDuckGo is Bing, we know this because when Bing accidentally censored all image searches for "tank man", all image results disappeared from DuckDuckGo as well.

Bing already announced that they were doing this, so maybe DuckDuckGo doesn't have any choice about it.

I only got partway through this. I want to say to the author:

Oh my god just stop taking yourself so seriously. Really. You don't need to do this. You're trying waaaay too hard.

It's opaque and mysterious and lovecraftian to you because you clearly spend all of your time making cool graphics and drawing tenuous metaphors between 16th century monks, pharaohs, and jeff bezos. I assure you, for everyone who works in a lithium mine or amazon datacenter doing the actual thing, it's actually pretty obvious. you just, you don't need to write this maam.

And also google "commodity fetishism" sometime.

It does look cool though. Wonderful typography and illustrations. I have a nitpick which is that it's a little bit monochrome, a pop of color (maybe a gold? or like neon red) would really take it to the next level.
Drudge Report sold out to the deep state, they didn't cover hardly any of the election integrity news at all (among other editorial decisions). The rumor is Matt Drudge doesn't even own it anymore. If you still get your "conservative" news from there I suggest switching to Rantingly.
Actually not really, I’ve switched banks used by my UK based business a couple of times. It has never been difficult.

I would certainly want to switch banks if I started hearing complaints about me using Stripe.
You still aren't going to ship all those unnecessary types in your production app, so you'll be creating a complicated pipeline anyway. The big difference here would be that your pipelines will be radically different, so you wouldn't know about random breakages in the development pipeline until you deployed to production.

More importantly, this doesn't add all of TS, so you'd still have to run those tools and nothing changes except that JS is now locked in to a syntax that may or may not be the best for an actual type system in the future.
Are you looking at how you make the scaffolds and making sure they're potentially vegan? A lot of vegetarians and vegans will be curious about lab-grown meat, but would be turned off if something like collagen was used as part of the scaffold.

> the top 20% in the Netherlands earns only 4 times the income the bottom 20% do. As a comparison, the U.S’s top 20% earns 16.65 times the amount the bottom 20% do.

> However, this article isn’t meant to push the false narrative that the Netherlands’ citizens are all miserable as a result of this wealth gap because they aren’t. In many metrics of standards of living, the Netherlands is ranked among the highest in the world. In fact, the Netherlands placed 10th on the social progress index and 8th on the Human Development Index.
"Results showed that the mean PbB concentration of the exposed workers (6.12 +4.61 µg/dl) was significantly higher than that of the unexposed workers (4.63+3.91 µg/dl ) (z = 4.96; p = 0.001). There was a significant association between the blood lead concentrations with the exposure to lead (2 = 437.72; p = 0.001)." (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271077842_Occupatio...)

"Epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that chronic exposure resulting in blood lead levels (BLL) as low as 10 µg/dL in adults are associated with impaired kidney function, high blood pressure, nervous system and neurobehavioral effects, cognitive dysfunction later in life, and subtle cognitive effects attributed to prenatal exposure. Pregnant women need to be especially concerned with reducing BLL since this can have serious impact on the developing fetus." (https://www.osha.gov/lead/health-effects)
Yes a line like

stuff.anAccountTypeField = obj.aNumberValue;

Would cause an error in a typed language , something like incompatible type Number and type Account.

Maybe you were confused by my commnet about the network requests and different order of running code, this caused the error not to happen most of the time so it never crashed on developer machine.
> Again, incorrect. The Ukrainian government has called this genocide

And Russia says there is no war... don't you think Ukraine and Russia stances might be slightly biased ? If we're arguing with that level of bad faith I agree that it won't go anywhere.

> insisting that the systematic carpet bombing of cities and murder of fleeing civilians _isn't_ genocide, seems like a questionable hill to die on.

It's a warcrime, it's not a genocide, I'll die on that hill, words have meaning. Otherwise every single conflict is a genocide, but then the word loses its meaning entirely so why not stop using it ?

Again, it's a question of scale and intent. Putting every single jew you find in trains for death camps is a genocide, killing every single Vietnamese you find is a genocide, killing a few civilians while bombing a city at war is a war crime.
Yeah, there are bad employers and bad interviewers. Sometimes the importance of it is underplayed. I always drill others that interview duty is the most important thing you can do at a company (even though it sometimes feels like a chore). The people you help choose, influences culture and long term viability of the company. Take it seriously and be fair with candidates.

Having said that, figuring out a fair and effective interview process is HARD. It requires constant tweaking and monitoring. Also, you have to start from a decent set of values at the company.

For example, we do shadow interviews. When we certify interviewers, we have them come to watch and listen to an interview (we explain to the candidate beforehand what's going on), and then after the interview ends, we meet with the shadow interviewer and discuss what they picked up, and explain why I went such and such way, what I was looking for, why such and such mistake is not a big deal, and so on.

After a couple of these, we have them interview, but with a certified interviewer shadowing them. Just observing (we have them practice on us their interview exercises if any before the interview).

And the we give feedback, you rushed a bit here, give them more time to be at ease with you, did you notice such and such, whatever... If everything goes well, we certify them, and they can fly solo.

We try to have a varied pool of interviewers to avoid biases. The downside is that you need to do more interviews as a candidate, to get a fair assessment (i.e. no single person can derail you).

In the end, we've all been in a crappy interviews and try our best to not inflict that on other people.
Why use startpage? Google’s results are biased in both political and non-political ways.
Keynes was not a farmer. Nobody can afford to not plant during planting season, not harvest during harvest. There are all sorts of things that a country is capable of doing at time A that will spell their doom come time B.

Enough with bashing reporters (aka "The Media") in general. The work is difficult, but important. If we keep bashing the whole profession then there will be no incentive, or funding, for it to improve, since people will move on to getting their news from even less trustworthy sources.

Feel free to criticize individual reporters and articles though. That's how things improve.
We've already discussed this, and we think we're safe. We're finally getting some rest too. I just want to help her put him back into the crib, which is something we think would improve her routine, because then she would be able to get some rest at night (instead of only resting at morning after we're up).

Edit after researching the airtags: awesome, that would work! Are they precise enough to detect the difference between the crib and bed if they're really close to each other in the same bedroom?
Yep, youtube... but google search is not much better... corporate news and pinterest on top, then everything else. Funnily enough, sometimes the pages that scrape github issues get even higher than original github issues themselves.
I've seen this asked on social media platforms and I'll admit ignorance on the matter, but this seems like a place to get better analysis.

What does it really mean when inflation is going crazy, but also many businesses are making really absurd, record profits? Is that a normal occurrence in periods of high inflation? It really feels more like price gouging than inflation to me, but like I said, I'm ignorant about economics.

How much inflation can be explained by the changes in the labor pool and government spending, compared to companies just charging more and hoarding more?
"A quarter of the grain that other countries need just went poof" is pretty catastrophic for all the poorer countries that need to buy that grain.

Im curious what you’re looking for then. You said “I don’t care about comp” in your post, but now the pay is too tiny? Are you looking for a company that’s going to pay you to work on your side project?
Determining which search results are good to return is the hard part about creating a search engine, and it’s definitely not a problem limited to politically charged content.
> They waited to go to war until after the Beijing Olympics, in coordination with China. And China has been cheering them on. Looks like someone made a friend.

Friends don't make friends delay invasions so that they will get bogged down in mud, or egg them on in disastrous courses of action that happen to serve the geopolitical interest of the cheerleader by consuming attention of geopolitical rivals.

That's callous exploitation, not friendship.
Putin fits into the "strong man" stereotype. The mere intent behind the sanctions is sufficient to warrant such a response from him and those under him.

That said, it is certainly possible- time will tell either way.
I recently caught out someone trying to hide their deep knowledge of Postgres when, in a moment of weakness as I mentioned one of the benefits of TOAST, he replied "I guess that's why they call it 'the best thing since sliced bread'".

And that's when I knew.

Because that's an exact quote from the docs.

> This section provides an overview of TOAST (The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique).

> PostgreSQL uses a fixed page size (commonly 8 kB), and does not allow tuples to span multiple pages. Therefore, it is not possible to store very large field values directly. To overcome this limitation, large field values are compressed and/or broken up into multiple physical rows. This happens transparently to the user, with only small impact on most of the backend code. The technique is affectionately known as TOAST (or “the best thing since sliced bread”). The TOAST infrastructure is also used to improve handling of large data values in-memory.
