I doubt Ukrainian civilians see it that way right now.
yea they just "warm the glass" giving it their energy, thus slowing down and eventually condensating because they've lost so much energy (cold stuff absorbs heat from the warm stuff)

on the contrary if you boil the water like madman you're giving water molecules so much energy it flies away as steam :)
This "Hey, you are from Ukraine, let us switch you to the Russian language" behavior I see in some places literally causes me PTSD. I got pissed off this way by Adobe just yesterday. Please don't do it people. I don't have the Russian language configured on any of my devices and in any of my accounts (and never had), they do it purely by location.
Agreed, they have been caught sending US military weapons and intel to China. Yet, the US still sends them ~$5B in military aid every year.

Which is equivalent to an $800 tax break the US gives the Israeli citizens each year.
Ditto about compulsive etc. It's easy to be creative when playing the obsessive insect down in the project-pit. But now I know better.
The challenge for international platforms/websites are the legal/business requirements per region and it boils down to costs to streamline translations.

Organizations split responsibilities by countries/regions. Local experts get hired to optimize content for their target markets. The back and forth between local subsidiaries/experts with centralized product development teams is more complex, slower and expensive. So you would rather create dedicated customer facing sites per region that are maintained by local teams who take care of location-specific differences (Netflix filtering, Google search results, etc.)

The bigger the org gets the harder a streamlined multi-language (often also multi-currency) business model gets and hence companies opt to geo-location instead of using header lang.

Probably, there are more points, but that’s what I have learned after building an international m-commerce platform that serves users in the EU, US and Mexico.

It is not a tech issue.
Yep. Qualitative words are meaningless.

> this is an attack on the freedom of speech

Freedom of Speech is not universal in every country. People are jailed for speaking against their government in some countries.

The Terms of Service agreement, which nobody reads, probably has some legal mumbo jumbo in there that lets the provider terminate services on moral/ethical grounds as they see fit. So like if someone gets a cert for an illegal gambling website they can terminate it at will. They may also have clauses related to encryption levels and should there be sanctions on software encryption for certain countries they could be forced to revoke services.

That does not explain why they believe marriages threaten its "jewish character", it does not explain why they think that. If it's about demographics, then the article should show graphics or at least some number projections so that we can build an opinion.
> The English at the time counted suffering as an essential requisite of expeditions. They considered Amundsen as cheating in using dogs and Eskimo gear.

Yes, this is also true. "Real men man-haul their sleds". Also they frowned at Amundsen because his project did not have a significant scientific purpose.

Fram - Nansen's ship which Amundsen half-stole/half-borrowed - was constructed by a scotsman by the way. But yes, it was purposefully built for handling the pack ice. It is on display in a museum in Oslo.
Well, to be fair this article touches exactly that and solution is - use flock command before your cronjob, hardly a ton of boilerplate.

Here's an interesting exercise:

2. Substitute "Palestinian" for ANY other nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or other adjective describing a group to which YOU belong.

3. See if you like how it feels: "[Legislative body] passes law barring spouses who are [like you] from becoming citizens."

I spent some money on a vhs recorder in the early nineties when I was a teenager. I mainly used it to record movies and then watch them later. I only owned a few tapes that I just reused endlessly. I kind of skipped dvds as a thing. I never bothered buying a separate player and I rarely used the one in my computer, when that was still a thing. I've not had a dvd or cd player for about five years now. My last computer that still had a slot for that died five years ago. Obsolete technology as far as I'm concerned long before that. It rarely got used.

They can be sued civilly. and also be charged criminally for “denying of honest services”. The FBI has charged people with Honest Service Fraud who broke their contracts with Amazon recently in a high profile case and seized all their assets via civil forfeiture.

Thanks! considering this I'm now wondering: I fill Nigeria with Norvegians, is it still Nigeria or an extension of Norway? I believe Nigerians have the right to have their country that doesn't look like an extension of another.
If you switch all the wood burning in third world countries, and all the coal fired stations to natural gas, you reduce emissions considerably. You need to do this because third world countries can't afford renewables, or there simply isn't enough supply to roll it out quickly (within 10-20 years). But they burn a lot of wood, which is unnecessary, and can be switched to gas cheaply and easily.

Considering it will still take decades for renewables to be rolled out and cheap enough to replace wood and coal, it makes sense to use gas transitionally.

The fact that this isn't discussed in green movements is insane. It literally would reduce carbon emissions faster. It shows how the green movement is more ideological than pragmatic.

A census is only useful if the participants can fill out the paperwork honestly. I actually don't understand the people who don't see this being a problem, nor why they would believe layered privacy protections aren't useful. It would seem irresponsible to release accurate or detailed census data to the general public.

To use an example that I'm aware of: in the USA (but likely exists in other places), there are groups of individuals which seek out and target interracial couples. These couples are then harassed and violence is not uncommon.

Approaches such as Differential Privacy exist to address this specific privacy weakness. The act of fuzzying the data this way is an accepted method for the data to only be useful for its intended purpose.
As you and others have noted it's trivial to build up various use cases, from the commercially annoying to the dangerous: the assumption that individuals and companies are never going to try to exploit this data or break the law is perhaps dangerously naive.
Specifically, one of the legislative cornerstones of Apartheid in South Africa was the "Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, 1949" (1) which prohibited marriage between person of different "racial groups".

This still requires a dedicated monitor connection to each box with a hardware or source switch, right? Or a screen per device? That is, the KVM (in the VGA days) used to switch the mouse, keyboard, and video source so a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse switches across devices. But barrier doesn't try to solve that part, I think.

Modern HDMI KVM hardware switches seem rather expensive; anyone found a good way to "switch" the monitors as well as keyboard and mouse?

I remember when the first CD-R drives came out, a blank CD was around $100. In the early days, CD distribution of software was in some ways an intrinsic copy protection because computer hard drives typically had less capacity than a CD and it was not uncommon to run the software directly from the CD (not to mention that if you wanted to duplicate the CD it would cost $100 for a blank CD-R).

I agree, assuming the language based on where you happen to be (instead of your actual request) is completely wrong. There are websites that do it correctly. This website, which I maintain, correctly uses the browser setting: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org

Perhaps what would be helpful would be to modify services that already evaluate websites to also determine if they switch locale correctly. If people see that there is an error, it's more likely to get fixed.
Wow. This is so incredibly well done. The tech itself is amazing, but so is the design of everything, not to mention it’s all well presented visually. It reminds me of the classic “mother of all demos”.

Oh come off it. The actions may be affecting Russians gravely but there is very little hate behind it from what I've seen. This is because of what's happening in Ukraine, maybe people in Russia in a bubble are misinterpreting that, but if you are on here you should be able to see there's not much hate.
I don't see why the contacts on the demonstrated devices would be any more vulnerable to the real world than the port on an iPhone. I'm not sure these devices would be mass market since some skill is required to understand and use the software but they would absolutely have a good run at serving the same size market as 3D printers. They could even work hand in hand with 3D printers by providing the 'brains' for prototyped projects.

> The cost of VHS tape in the 80s is one reason I think VHS tapes are an underrated collectible. But Gen Xers are more nostalgic for their video games than for movies, at least for now.

They're an overrated collectible. There's no great quality-of-media benefit to VHS tapes, versus say the audio record market (where there is an argument in terms of the audio experience).

People are in fact quite nostalgic for movies, not VHS tapes. The author is confused on the difference.

Nobody is buying Ikari Warriors 1/2/3 (old NES games) for $50 on the PS5 today; but people have been buying Top Gun on DVD, then Blu-ray, then 4K, and paying retail prices to do it. They do it because there has generally been a quality increase. The rare exception is a few hyper popular games from the past that eg end up on Steam (Final Fantasy 1/2/3/etc games, or Age of Empires) or on a Nintendo repackaging hardware device.

Most NES video games for example were not endlessly repackaged with each generation of video game machines. The companies make new games, the old games largely stay in the past (in part due to the vast improvement in the quality of the games, the graphics, the size of the games, etc). The same is not true of movies. I can buy a superior copy of the movies The Color of Money or Heat on disc today vs the same movies on VHS, and that's why nobody cares about collecting VHS tapes, the same exact movies are reproduced at often dramatically better quality vs the past. They're not merely reproduced, it's typically a superior offering (certainly moving from shoddy VHS tapes to modern discs, when they're done well by the studio, is a vastly superior consumer experience).

> They are seeing the disparity between how NATO invaded Libya and none of the NATO countries faced any sanctions, while Russia invades Ukraine and faces massive sanctions. Libya hadn't threatened any NATO country nor had it invaded any non-NATO country. It was going through an internal civil war. Yet it was leveled and Gaddafi was dethroned, and lynched in public. So anyone who says NATO is a defensive alliance is just bullshitting.

I'm not going to refute this, because I believe you're essentially correct.

But let's not pretend that it's a direct comparison. Gaddafi was a brutal dictator whose regime tortured, raped, and murdered Libyans with impunity. He, his sons, and his close circle were sadistic psychopaths. He also directly supported, sponsored, and tolerated terrorism which reached out beyond his own borders and killed civilians from other countries. The Gaddafi regime was a menace not only to Libyans but to rest of the world as well. I still believe removing him from power was a net benefit to the world. And it was Libyans who lynched him (not surprising given what he had done to them), not NATO forces.

I think it's fair to draw parallels in the abstract between these two scenarios, but they are not the same.

Well, your example will be in many cases against the law. Netflix isn't allowed to let me choose which countries catalogue I want to watch. A website isn't allowed to choose which VAT to charge and who they owe it to. In an Arabic country you might not be allowed to serve images of women in swimwear (or other revealing images). There are many more examples like that and the applicable law is usually based on your physical location at that point in time (i.e. the jurisdiction you are in). While I agree IP isn't the best choice, it is often the best available and letting the user just choose these things is in many instances simply illegal.
The precedent would be that it’s ok for the government to usurp your assets if they choose to. I don’t think that’s a good precedent.

These are enlightening links. Incredible really.

How a so called ally can perform such levels of espionage and the US has a hand in paying for their own ‘downfall’. I suppose the only reason Israel gets away with it is due to the influence Israel has on politicians with AIPAC/lobbying efforts.

For non-system administration stuff the best practice goes even further, actual applications probably shouldn't use either cron or systemd timers as a method of scheduling internal jobs. At most an application (if not already a service) should have a single timer on a short interval, but the application itself should internally manage jobs and scheduling. The last thing you want is state being stored in the OS files.
I love how in situations of economic strain everybody comes out with their takes on it. He is wrong on most of his takes here especially the tesla part we have enough historically data to know how to revigorat a strained or collapsed economy the real question is how long the political parties need to adept them. There is nothing magic about it it's just how long are profits for corps and the 1% more in favor than the rest of the country.
