> How do you square that with the mass destruction of Ukrainian cities, including by aircraft bombing? It seems to be a ridiculous assumption long debunked.

One way to square it is that the perception of what is "minimal" is vastly different in their minds. Mind you, they decided to attack a well armed sovereign country that was definitely not welcoming them, and they have a total control of their media, so they don't really care about achieving surgical precision. That doesn't mean they must then choose to level cities to the ground. It's not a binary choice.
In the long-term, an increase in full-remote positions and offshoring will be broadly implemented to cut costs. But that takes time to do without affecting quality and productivity.
They might be going for the NZ and AU plan that seemed to be to keep things at bay for as long as possible while the virus hopefully mutates into something less dangerous. Lockdowns can't go on forever but if you can keep them going until falling below a certain threshold of danger from being infected, you might be able to avoid the worst impact of the virus itself. Of course the lockdowns and other measures might end up being worse than what the more dangerous variant of the virus would have done but that's the kind of thing that will debated for decades to come.
Nobody is going to "attack" Russia. Out of those sixteen neighbors there is exactly one, China, which could even begin to contemplate taking on Russia in a land war. (And they still would not, because nukes.)

Same thing is possible using https://app.crowdsec.net/ (just create a free user account and use the search feature) - and if you install the accompanying agent, those bad actors already known will be blocked automatically (just as those that attack you will be shared to all other users). This is collaboration that makes sense!
> The risk is you’re going to build something and nobody will come (or stay), and then you’ll run out of money.

Maybe author is conflating MVP with "build and they'll come". They're quite different ideas, although are frequently seen together in the same minds.

"Build and they'll come" is silly. 95% of businesses will need effort to bring products to consumers. Some form of marketing and/or sales.

One great risk is whether you can market and or sell the product. That's where MVPs help. Simulating marketing/sales without any product usually is not a good predictor of reality.
Unless I’m mistaken, Developer Edition is just Firefox with experimental features enabled and permanently-enabled telemetry.

I’m not sure what in my brain says “Telemetry? Absolutely not”, but that’s how it is for me (and why I don’t use the Developer Edition).
It should read "communication". The hardest think about engineering is communication.

Requirements is a communication problem.

You can help your engineering by making sure ideas are correctly named, that definitions stay true to principles and the same throughout the company.

When software is built on immutable principles then it hardly ever needs to change because principles do not change (or they are not principles).

I have worked developing various banking systems. Most of the time it is not requirements that change, it is people discovering they have different definition of something that other people have and the change is to accommodate differences in understanding.

People don't need more drugs to counter depression,

people need a better life so they don't get depressed in the first place.

"but we can't change their lives, so it's better for them to take antidepressants".

No! Nonsense!

People are depressed, because their lives suck for whatever reasons.

When they take antidepressants their lives still suck, but - like a slave! - they just learn to accept it as it is.

When you take a painkiller against pain, the pain and its source don't magically vanish. It's all still there, you just mask it out.

Are you feeling sad? Just take SOMA!
How about using a tool like https://crowdsec.net/ that collects (basic, anonymious) information from users on the attacks they see, vets it and shares it back to all users via blocklists? Currently around 800k signals are collected and there's around 19k vetted bad ips in the blocklist. Sounds more reliable to me.
That wouldn't make sense though:

First as a doctrine, it would be a stupid one - they tend to use paratroopers for surprise taking of advanced positions, and air support is vital to help them keep their position until reinforcements can arrive. Point in case, the failure at Hostomel. Their doctrine emphasises anti-air defenses because air superiority against a superior enemy ( NATO) isn't certain, but that doesn't mean the Air Force shouldn't be used at all, especially against an inferior enemy

Second, they don't seem to be even doing that - there are small scale ( 1-2 planes) raids deep in Ukrainian territory, and neither their planes nor their SAMs can deal with the drones Ukraine fields, even over Russian held territory
The Programmatic Poop Funnel: Only 9% of online ads are “viewed”
Bit of an arrogant and directionless rant with no concrete detail and many false dichotomies. "Just build the right product" is like saying "just don't write bugs" or "just have money." It feels like DeHaan is reacting to the idea of exploration because he thinks you should just know everything to begin with.

Knowing everything upfront is definitely better than exploring your domain, product and market incrementally. The problem is that this rarely happens in practice. Founders who adopt DeHaan's attitude and think they can leapfrog the exploratory phase of their startup usually end up failing.

Yes and no. You have the choice, the game offer an offline mode, where you are alone with npc in your own little world, or a online mode where you can connect to any server of your choice. The server is open-source too, so you can run your own little Veloren world for you and your friend.

Though, fair warning, the game, at least last time I played it, 2-3 months ago, was still very much balanced toward teaming up with at least one other person to beat most dungeons. You can beat them alone, at least the low level ones, but it becomes tedious since you respawn at the entrance of the dungeon, and they can be quite deep.

You misunderstand my complaint. I am not blaming anyone. I am explaining why the user experience is bad. This is a common retort in the Linux community: "but they are to blame, not me!" As an end user, I don't care who is to blame. I just care that Linux is harder to use.

i used bitwarden for about a year and i like how simpler it was compared to lastpass and i recommend that to most people now.

the reason i switched to keepass was i wanted to use autofill desktop passwords as well.
ive mainly been using keepassxc for a few years which is not too ugly i don't think, but have been trying out keeweb recently which is a lot more minimal.

a neat feature with keepass is autotype. i have mine set to alt+x so its easy to activate and using the "add url to window title" extension means there's no connection between your vault and the browser.

https://github.com/erichgoldman/add-url-to-window-title

another idea i had recently was to create a second vault for passwords that aren't that important. so now they majority of my passwords are in that and the vault master password is shorter so its quicker to type, while anything important goes in my main vault which has a stronger password. its great not having to type a really long password just to unlock my vault so i can log into some random forum! and it also means im less paranoid about leaving the vault unlocked.
(when the autotype list pops up you will see sites from both vaults, as long as they are unlocked)

so yea, there's a few things that keepass does that other don't, but the downside like you said is having to manage the file yourself. i already had synching set up on all of my devices anyway so it was trival to sync the file using that
2022 and Firefox still doesn't have gesture stack navigation in Windows with precision touchpads like Chromium does(mainly back/forward in history). I guess it's a another year I'm not going to use it and stick to Chromium Edge. Maybe 2023?
They'd have to then unlock your vault too. I see I wasn't as clear as I could have been, but what I also meant was that the CLI doesn't automatically give access to _all the things_ just because it's installed either.
Thanks, but its still a bit confusing for me. Im looking for a really dumbed down kind of approach: input, operator, visual explanation of what its doing, output. Im a really bad learner, and didnt study computer science or anything. Ive never had a reason to touch binary, so find these operators unintuitive.

> a big reason many execs want people to be in office is because they see the efficiency in impromptu and verbal communication,

Perceived efficiency. Like everyone is saying; for some jobs and some people it is apparently efficient (I have not seen this in practice much outside having a whiteboard with all in the room for brainstorming or solving a harder problem, but that really doesn’t happen that often and we can do that now with miro and/or VR), but for many it is just wasting time and annoying. I don’t mind hybrid if your team is all remote and the other teams are not; if you are part of a team that is hybrid, I don’t think it is very good in any case.

Our heat pump (older model, not sure how old it is since it was in the house when we bought it) works pretty well down to -15. After that it's better to shut it down, save the electricity, and use the good old wood heaters that have been installed since the house was built in the 50's.
https://crowdsec.net/ can also do something like that, only more advanced in the attacks it detects and because it's sharing bad ips from users to everyone else. I love that users in this way are watching each other's back.

Did not back them up at the UN or these news headlines about China not helping Russia with this or that?

From what it seems, China is absolutely helping them in actions, while pretending to be neutral, and they’ll do everything to maintain the appearance of neutrality.

China even has state-owned, single-purpose banks that don’t touch USD at all, specifically for sanction-busting. Russian banks are now issuing UnionPay cards, apparently.

India, supposedly a US ally in the region, buys most of their military hardware from Russia.

Turkey, a NATO country, also buys weapons from Russia, and openly refused to implement sanctions.

Pakistan, under pressure from tons of 20+ diplomats, openly defied them and did not vote YES, either, and then their PM went to visit Putin.

South Korea refused to implement EU/US sanctions, and instead sought to be exempt, and implement their own, supposedly equivalent, sanctions. That’s another way to circumvent sanctions, as the final regulations and loopholes could be quite different, despite being legally “equivalent”.

The West will of course down play all of this, but it seems the unipolar days are history.

> Call me a pessimist, but I would be extremely surprised if humans are still around then.

Why is that? Despite what pessimists - and even the occasional realist - have been saying for decades now, so far humanity has avoided extinction or civilization collapse. Even the arguably most urgent as well as most important problem for decades to come (climate change) isn't an extinction-level event, even in a worst-case scenario.

So far, mankind's continued existence depended on a rather fragile foundation. Once mankind develops into a multi-planetary species, which we are on the verge of becoming, simply all bets are off and things might work out either way.

Becoming a multi-planetary species might be the Great Filter we seem to be observing. Paradoxically, that we have yet to meet any species that has already passed that filter, makes it more likely for humans to simply be the first ones to do so.
> Maybe author is conflating MVP with "build and they'll come". They're quite different ideas, although are frequently seen together in the same minds.

I think the author is pointing out that other people are conflating the ideas. I don't think the author advocates building a fully-fledged 1.0 product before getting real-world feedback.

I've worked for startups that kept shouting "MVP, MVP" for each new feature (and customer) we built. What we got in return for that was a heap of half-finished features, lots of technical debt — and not a single happy customer.
Except that for many users IP is unusable, only the TCP and UDP layers are actually properly handled by most "home" device. SCTP? Maybe over UDP... definitely not as protocol 132 inside IP. And CGNAT makes things even more complicated.

You can compare this "mass destruction" with the Grozny's state after the second Chechen war or, if you want a more recent example, with Mosul and Hudaydah.

Another way to put it: How many Americans in 2018 were clamoring to spend massive amounts of GDP on reaching parity with countries like Peru, Costa Rica, Austria, France, South Korea and Japan? Those countries have (respectively) around 1-6 additional years of life expectancy compared to the US[1].

Or, to put it another way: Life expectancy peaked in the US in 2014[2], while it kept rising in most peer countries. That certainly made the news, and something was being done about the root causes of that, but by and large it was being ignored politically.

Again, none of this is an argument for or against any particular COVID measures. I'm just pointing out that it's a particularly egregious case of historical blinders & end-of-history thinking to think that human beings as a species can't get used to the relatively small (in a historical context) rise in risk the world has seen in the last couple of years.

There's plenty of OSINT available ( Oryx was even mentioned in the article). Take a look around, the only "side" which doesn't make it abundantly clear the Russian advance is an objective failure on every possible front - terrible logistics, ad-hoc consumer equipment like mobile phones used for communication, poorly maintained everything, low morale, hell, even poor planning and navigation ( lots of vehicles stuck in the mud), is the official Russian government propaganda. They've been thoroughly discredited by the lying before the war, and the accidentally published article about it's successful finish ( which is further indication of what the original Russian plan was).

I would agree with your point yet the no-code tools are definitely not marketed as that. And we all know how marketing influences decisions by people remote enough from the tasks at hand. So what worries me is the prospect of having to support no-code which creeped into applications important enough to make management throw fits.
