What is normal is that people aren't really able to grieve for millions they don't know. Whether it's a pandemic or war or genocide or famine or disease, out of sight out of mind. A lot of virtue signaling and political maneuvering but at the end of the day our in groups just aren't that big and we'll say "oh that's sad" and then move on with our lives.

There's 8 billion of us, millions are always going to be dying, and realistically nobody outside of their friend circles really care.
Russian weaponry didn't improve, in opposite. Don't look at the paper numbers, they have maybe 10% of the machinery fully operational, spread over very wide territory. The rest is there for spare parts at best.

You mean the russian tank (armata) that they found out they can't build en masse? Or those 40 or 50 years old tanks actually used in Ukraine, which were new during USSR but not so much anymore, and javelins make a quick work out of them. At least from those that don't break by themselves due to poor maintenance (which is due to theft and corruption and general russian approach).

I saw some pictures how the pockets of active armor were empty or stuffed with egg paper wrappings. Again. Same happened in Georgia. Some mighty army. Soldiers selling gas to belarus civilians just before the invasion. Then running out of it in the fields. This conflict showed how weak their army is in conventional conflict.

That being said they have some impressively horrifying thermobaric weapons like TOS-1 which they currently use on civilians. But it doesn't seem they have a lot of it and those alone don't win wars.
Isn’t that by definition?
Is it? It says things like "Smith is critical of government and officialdom, but is no champion of laissez-faire" and "A further theme of The Wealth Of Nations is that competition and free exchange are under threat from the monopolies, tax preferences, controls, and other privileges that producers extract from the government authorities".

I would say that is fairly accurate.

I've noticed that when it comes to Adam Smith there's no shortage of people who try to make out he was some kind of proto-communist while smugly telling off straw man economists for cherry picking him - but it doesn't seem true to me.
There are many third-party appliance/electronics parts companies.
That looks very much like blaming the commenter you replied to for posting a "pointless" comment.

Which is not a very gracious spelling of "Sorry, my comment you replied to was stupid; I retract it and apologize", which I'm sure was what you were trying to convey.
Indeed, one of the things Uber disrupted was many lifelong taxi owner-operator’s retirement plans. An NYC taxi medallion was a valuable asset. It was a promise for exclusive market access. Giant $1M loans were taken out to pay for this privilege. NYC just turned around and gave it all away to Uber. When the value of NYC taxi medallions fell, while Uber was heavily subsidizing fares, small business owners were going bankrupt. Several people committed suicide. Real people lost their livelihoods while Kalinick and his buddies congratulated each other.
C++ shouldn't be a problem? Just add a new namespace:

std::move_fast_and_break_things::vector

Or maybe the other way around so you can keep using std::vector:
move_fast_and_break_things::std::vector

Then you can add a 'using namespace move_fast_and_break_things;' at the top of your files if you know you don't care about the ABI in your program.
I'd amazed if 25% of teenagers actually used Tor.

My generation is the tail end of people who actually grew up using computers versus the "mobile"-ized internet for everything, and I was basically the "umm can you darkweb for me pretty please" guy for all my friends. Easy profit. Arbitrage their laziness for my ability to use a computer.
What do you use 8 monitors for?
I've found the hard way that no friends is better than the wrong friends. I've also come to appreciate casual acquaintances more as I've become older. People you talk with semi regularly but don't have any sort of deep connection with. When I was younger, I found those types of relationships superficial and pointless, but I see it differently now.
Cut sections of wood dowel to the right length: then they can be cooked / soaked in flavored water. Recall "cinnamon toothpicks?" Like that but bigger and we have an array of awesome artificial flavors now.

If its the finish texture and the weight that's appealing, perhaps you could find a flashlight or "stash case" jewelry item that could serve the purpose. Somewhere, someone has a "drug safe" that look very much like an AA battery but the top unscrews and its a hollow chamber inside.

If you think its the flavor of copper; then they sell copper pipe in a variety of sizes; you can cut lengths of that and have no worries. I can't think of a battery that actually shows copper on the outside tho.
He stole so much he started to think he could challenge Putin. That’s why he got jailed. In Russia (then and now) you get charged with “tax dodging schemes” when you either challenge the mafia bosses or don’t pay them enough.
cyberbullying? really? anyhow - a good read, thanks.
Amazon's business model was being first and not having to pay taxes for a decade and a half.
Who’s saying ethnic is offensive and unspeakable? We’re all saying it here…
"I am wondering whether it would be legal to try to automatically check for known exploits, in order to ‘p0wn’ the wannabe-attacker and disable their system instead."

Absolutely illegal. Don't do that.

Also, if your setup is enough at controlling the nuisance, why bother?

Good work though, liked the visualization of attacker IP locations!

Have you considered running at least SSH on nonstandard port?
Since dhimmi status extended into the 1800s, and even the 1900s in some areas, it compares pretty damn disfavorably to full emancipation and citizenship. Going back into earlier periods of history, I don't really care to tell you whether a Muslim boot or a Christian boot tastes better, since, being Jewish, I'd rather not have either one stamping on my face.
Similar predicament myself, though I am married without children. My friends all had kids and moved out to the exurbs. Combine that with forced working from home the last couple years and it’s made my mid-late thirties the loneliest part of my life.

I even tried Bumble BFF, but it just further revealed I have no idea how to make friends.
It’s hard to get empirical evidence for the general claim that Uber increased mobility after adjusting for substitution effects from walking etc. However, I think one can make the case from economic intuition that price reductions generally increase consumption in a category of normal goods.

E.g - a reduction in the price of wheat will increase food consumption even after accounting for people switching from other crops. Conversely, an increase in the price of Lego will reduce the amount of toys the average child gets, even after adjusting for the substitution to action figure etc.
It's not exactly the same, but similar enough. This is because institutions warp incentives. Holding institutions accountable is the primary way you combat that.
I use rsync on termux and zerotier for remote access. Mounting sshfs on android is also great if you don't need any passwords when offline.
> The only time I've ever needed that was because I'm copy/pasting something from the internet, which I probably shouldn't be doing at all, and at the very least not with such frequency that it effects my decision of which shell to use.

It is nice when you generally write {POSIX,Bash} scripts, and decide to quickly throw something together in the interactive shell. I find myself often putting $(), before realising that I need to remove the $ to make it valid in fish.
But yeah, i think it's mostly to make shell scripts of the internet work OOTB.
'Superior' is meaningless, vague judgement of course. The questions are how resistant does it need to be, and how resistant can it be?

Does anyone care that iPhone is IP68 instead of IP67?

Does anything stop you drom making a phone with a headphone jack and microSD card that will survive submersion to the depth of 2 miles?
I hope that this will also apply to mobile phones.
Ok, so would you get in the time machine to go back and become a dhimmi? Why should we have liked on purely comparative grounds?
The reason given is usually Denial of Service. The longer passwords create more CPU work on the server multiplied by the number of users logging in or registering accounts. I do not care for that argument. I would much prefer working around potential ddos with proper code segmentation and capacity planning. If it's really an issue then a auth micro-service that predicatively spins up instances or something like that.
More generally, gdal is a raster I/O library. S2 is a point only system. It's not meant to store or work with raster data in any way. (Sure, you can represent raster as points, but it's hideously inefficient to do so.)

Basically, you shouldn't ever be choosing between the two. If you're thinking of using a representation system like S2 for raster data (e.g. images or anything else on a regular grid), rethink things a bit.
Wow, no one says you have to get a spare part to a customer tomorrow morning. Just grab one before it goes to assembly line, ship it with the actual completed machines to a distribution center where it will go to the customer from there. There's nothing "new," except at the beginning/end of the chain, just add a few more of those parts to the next order of them. If it will impact operations to take a few from the beginning, some of those spares will have to be delayed. That's ok, tell the customer 6-8 weeks to deliver a spare part. That was pretty standard shipping times when I was younger.
You can get a similar reduction in ssh scans simply by moving the port (and doing nothing else) as the majority of scans only hit port 22.

Whether this is worth the hassle is left to the reader: if you have passwords disabled and only use keys it really shouldn’t matter.
Samsung is trying really hard to be more anti-consumer than Apple. That takes real effort
Try to get an external computer monitor, keyboard and mouse for your laptop and good quality office chair. Make the desk and working environment as comfortable as possible as you may be working there for months. I like to have a blanket to put over my legs. Also try to have your desk in a separate room from where you relax in the evening and where you sleep as well.
There are also perverse subsidies at play. My dad is in manufacturing, and realized that he could buy a complete, assembled part from his Chinese competitor for less than he could get the raw steel involved in manufacturing it. I imagine similar skewing is part of the story for the dishwasher.
Not really, they will just end up using managed services in AWS. Kubernetes exists (in the eyes of the corp) only as a tool that avoids vendor lock-in.
Ukraine propaganda is not "good," Russian propaganda is not "bad"

Not a single condemnation of the Nazi affiliation yet, from anyone in the Western media.

They don't want to state plainly, that in this mega-reductionist viewpoint we all are conformed into, it is the Nazi's vs Russia.

I don't support Nazis. Guess I'm pro-Putin.
I mostly agreed with this piece, but...

>Democratic Republic of Congo is a hotbed for what many news agencies call rebel groups, but GPJ reporters there wondered: If DRC’s president has refused to leave office even though his term ended more than two years ago, who is the real rebel? Now, GPJ uses the phrase “armed groups.”

Even if the rebellion is just, and the government illegitimate, that certainly sounds like the definition of rebellion to me.
Probably shouldn't be quite so snarky when you're wrong. There's a huge industry of non-oem parts that do undercut the OEM and presumably make money.
I'm not sure if it's in the same vein, and I'm showing my youth here, but:

In primary/elementary school there were a couple of Russian students. One called Vova was in my class. One day he stole my Pokémon game. Fair(ish) enough, others had stolen other stuff at that school occasionally. But no, he wiped my save file and then went on a tirade of lies to the teachers that it had been his game all along.

It utterly baffled young me as to why you'd go to those lengths.
The original article (linked to in German) pointed out that the main problem was that used batteries did not get recycled to an enough extent, and therefore battery manufacturers today depend too much on imports for their raw materials.

In other words, the new proposed rules were intended to benefit primarily the industry in the long term, not necessarily the consumer.
Product design departments may not think farther than the next product, but their higher-ups should be concerned.

They're avoiding it because it's vague, not because it's offensive.
A lot of people discover this when they try to build a custom bicycle from the frame up with off-the-shelf components.
Yes, of course. I lived in Haifa, which kept its bus rapid-transit system and several bus lines running all through Shabbat. This was especially helpful for the nighttime bus lines, so I could go to the beach on Friday afternoon, eat dinner and see a movie at Lev haMifratz with friends in the evening, and then get home at maybe 1-2am, all with public transit.
I live near Oaks Park and love the vibe.
Useful links to learn the technology stack for BE web development in Java
I think you’re on to something there. Most software available today merely does what free software already does, but with specific marketing to make it seem like something people need. For example, all of the below software categories are easily handled with either the software bundled with your operating system or a simple open source download:

- budgeting

- to do / productivity

- book / music / video game / etc. media cataloging

- project planning

- event planning

- file storage

- etc

When someone remarked once that most SaaS products are a front end to a spreadsheet, I just thought, “they’re not wrong.”

Now if people had computer literacy they wouldn’t pay $20 a month for a service their computer already does.
The ones who don't approve, leave. The ones who remain, approve. Perfectly consistent :-)
I think this article is exactly the opposite of what you're criticizing. The author is saying that the phrase "ethnic tensions" was virtually always used as a lazy shorthand for "people are mad at each other for some reasons we're not sure about". They are arguing for using the full richness of the English language to describe more precisely the reason for conflict, not trying to ban a particular idea by being the word. In my opinion, Orwell would probably agree with this principle.
Just because a word is a crutch for bad reporting doesn't make the word intrinsically bad, just the wrong tool for the kind of reporting they're doing.
That map was taken directly from axios (https://www.axios.com/russia-ukraine-invasion-putin-live-upd...). I don't love the map, as it's not super detailed - for sure looking to replace it with something better!
Don't you worry, if we keep using the planet like we currently do, and like you do by saying you don't give a shit, then we'll all die soon enough because of our lack of respect for our environment — lack of access to clean water will hit loads of people in the coming decades.

Either that or we come up with laws that keep us competitive without destroying everything around us. I hope that's what Europe will do and I will support regulation that takes a tiny bit of comfort away if it makes us more resilient in the face of climate change and geopolitical difficulties.
How does k3s look to hiring managers on a resume?
No, he doesn't. He's single. His ex-friends have their wives forever. (But they don't, because estrangement, divorce, and death.)
> But the Republicans who’ve pushed this line are playing a comically transparent game, where they call for policies that raise the price of gasoline and then blame Joe Biden for gasoline being expensive.

I had to stop reading after these comically misleading statements.

For one, gasoline was already costing almost double under Biden than it did under Trump, long before the attack on Ukraine. Biden and this author can do all they want to shift the blame to Russia for inflation and high gas prices, and yes that situation had contributed, but that just doesn’t mesh with what really happened and it’s amazing they’re playing this angle so soon when the past year of high-priced everything due to inflation and high priced gas due to inflation as well as Biden’s anti-oil policies and rhetoric literally existed for, well, a full year before the attacks.

Secondly, the ban on Russian oil was hugely bipartisan: 414-17.
Eh I’ve scanned the entire IPv4 space and tested default passwords over ssh from both AWS and my Comcast connection at home and never got banned from either one. I’m sure it can happen, but it’s no big deal.

The GP is right: If you use ed25519 keys, looking at logs and playing whack a mole with countries is just security theater for people who are new to the internet and get scared when their MOTD says “500 failed logins”.
Are Fountain Pens Good for the Environment? (2016)
Oi. Let us enjoy some anecdotes.

We all know that pretty much all of us here have nothing to really add to the discussion, so we might as well have some fun.
I never claimed that it was 'wholesome' that is something you filled in. I'm pointing out that the your analysis is flawed that you are trying to pin ideological label on a "scottish alcoholic" and conflating that somehow the youtube algorithm is fueling a 'fascist feeling'. The truth is that all of these algorithm are maximising for engagement and the signal that it is latching onto here isn't fascism it is nostalgia. Is this persona being 'wholesome' and 'kind' in his speech? And the answer is no!

Fascism uses the nostalgic feeling specifically around national mythos and the character of its citizens but it is the nostalgia that comes first and the demogogs latch onto that feeling. And I fail to see how the The Critical Drinker would constitute a fascist demagogue although he is not wholesome in anyway.
It makes me sad that we have de-humanized everyday Russian and now Bellorussian citizens for the crimes of their totalitarian governments.

I could see an argument if these were functioning democracies but they are not. Imagine if everyday Americans had to face punitive sanctions or like in this case outright theft because their democratically elected governments chose to invade a country (like Iraq) on false pretenses and proceed to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians (again, speaking of Iraq)

What Russia is doing in Ukraine is unconscionable, but in a totalitarian government, individual citizens have infinitely less agency than they do in the west. Even in the US, remember how little agency everyday Americans had to fight the governments decision to invade Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.

This ethical hacker did nothing wrong. The funds should have been frozen, not stolen without due process. It’s almost like HackerOne is begging for retribution. Let’s hope they don’t reap what they sow.

Cyberwar sounds pretty scary right now.
For SSH simply disallowing passwords entirely removes this problem. For me that's the one single thing that dramatically improves defense against any kind of brute force or untargeted attack.
You're not 4 paragraphs through "Politics and the English Language" before:

Each of these passages has faults of its own, but, quite apart from avoidable ugliness, two qualities are common to all of them. The first is staleness of imagery; the other is lack of precision
But it's so old
> For instance, languages exist for 64-bit architecture that have binaries less than 400 bytes in size.

In V (https://github.com/vlang/v/) for example, with the currently experimental native backend, you can produce executables, that are < 400 bytes:

$ cat examples/hello_world.v
println('Hello, World!')
$ ./v -b native -o hw examples/hello_world.v
$ ls -l hw
-rwxrwxr-x 1 delian delian 183 Mar 13 17:51 hw
$ ./hw
Hello, World!
tl;dr - The story is about the Global Press Journal. They noticed that the word "ethnic" was almost always a red flag for "we don't really know, or care, and can't be bothered to find out, or tell our audience anything meaningful". So, they soft-banned "ethnic" in their in-house Style Guide. (It still may be used if part of a direct quote, etc.)

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
That's mainly because both the US and UK actually had an organised response, mask mandates, banned mass gatherings, ramped up restrictions as hospital admissions rose to try to manage impact on health services, etc. Over here in the UK we also set up an effective vaccination programme very early too, with strong public support and broad political consensus. We did better at it here, sure, but it's not like the US had no policies in place to protect the public.

All of these made a massive difference. Compare to Brazil where the average age of Covid death was only a little over 60, which means the vast majority of people who died there were under retirement age, many of them a lot under. That's what not taking the pandemic seriously looks like. I know Brazil has a younger population, but despite that meaning their demographics were strongly in their favour, they still suffered huge death rates.
True, although if your meeting will be attended by people in multiple time zones, you need to declare the time in some absolute sense anyway.

I've never heard of that and couldn't find any reference to it with a internet search.
