Would you be able to share some light on what a cruiser is (that's how this ship is classified on wikipedia) vs another kind of ship. I am comparing to the british navy which doesn't seem to have anything above destroyer (outside of aircraft carriers). In these days and age where all war ships seem to be essentially floating missile launch platforms, what is the difference?
Patents are valid for 20 years, the patent for 1-click expired in 2019.

Huh, nope 2017? https://www.businessinsider.com/amazons-patent-on-one-click-...
Good point -- I just put in a feature request, so now someone has asked for it.

I don't see that this is any worse for the experience than the bluetooth situation. It'd certainly make the device more valuable for me. But that doesn't mean Amazon will see it as worth their time.
That's a beautiful effect too, thanks!
First, it’s more like 1/6 his net worth. But I don’t believe the proportion means anything at that level of personal wealth. He’d still have the other $210B, plus ownership of Twitter. Each of those other billions is worth a billion dollars. Almost everybody could make do with just one of them, and he’d have over 200 of them. Even luxury goods don’t scale up to that scale. All he can really do with that is buy companies anyway. And Twitter is what holds his interest right now.
Would you like to highlight the parts that you felt I changed?
Weren't all of them recovered? Or is everything misinformation these days?
I mean thats a bit different from just blacking out anything that makes the Democrats look bad - which is whats currently happening on US Social Media platforms
I agree, but I would be surprised if it is 8% again for the coming year, given job market is still hot, supplies are still short, the war in Ukraine will likely last at least another year, and the government still want to spend a lot of money and is unlikely to raise rates very much more than 0.25% per quarter.

With multiple oracles and a statistic, you're trusting their results to be distributed along some distribution. But I'm being pedantic. Ultimately, yes, you are still trusting the oracles even if you aren't trusting them each in totality. Like I said I don't think there's a way out. Even if you hook up a weather sensor machine and push updates to the chain, even outside of malicious tampering, sensors themselves can be inaccurate or fail. Perhaps there's a case to be made for an autonomous weather sensor machine that is physically tamper-proof, but ultimately there's a certain amount of trust when dealing with off-chain data. I don't think that's able to be overcome.
All he has to do is buy it at a discount and let Donald Trump back on for a significant profit. Sad but true.

As colorful as it was, the context of that island episode is that none of the soldiers on the island actually died.

They were all taken as PoWs by the Russians.
As the article states:

"Whatever happened to the Moskva, analysts say its loss would strike hard at the heart of the Russian navy as well as national pride, comparable to the US Navy losing a battleship during World War II or an aircraft carrier today.

"Only the loss of a ballistic missile submarine or the Kutznetsov (Russia's lone aircraft carrier) would inflict a more serious blow to Russian morale and the navy's reputation with the Russian public," said Carl Schuster, a retired US Navy captain and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center.

Alessio Patalano, professor of war and strategy at King's College in London, said losing the warship would be a "massive blow" for Russia.

"Ships operate away from public attention and their activities are rarely the subject of news. But they are large floating pieces of national territory, and when you lose one, a flagship no less, the political and symbolic message -- in addition to the military loss -- stands out precisely because of it," he said."

---

At this point, the subsequent Russian narrative of this event bears close scrutiny, for hints as to whether the ship's sinking has more to do with not allowing obvious damage patterns of missile strikes to be observed as opposed to claimed 'fire damage', but more so for clues as to how the chain of command in the Russian navy will fare, as compared to the one in the Russian military intelligence after the disastrous performance around Kyiv..
Yeah, according to the cafe's website, they don't physically stop you from leaving. In fact, one of the FAQs specifically says that you can leave temporarily if you need to. It's just that they won't allow you to pay your tab unless you've reached your goal.

As others have said, it's about the social pressure. I doubt the question of "can we legally enforce this rule" was a major concern.
Except for the side defending its country from an invasion.

Because the fact that it is relayed by a pro-putin newspaper is significant.
This was is also an information war, so analysing who reports the news is almost as important as what is reported.
They're using their friend's phones at school, unless you homeschool them.
It’s called Neptune. It only entered service last year, so they probably don’t have many, and it’s possible early Russian strikes may have suppressed the batteries that were operational at the start of the war.
There is no launch contract, just a planned test.

Apparently the ship’s armaments were vastly out of date. Its combat systems were from 90s and it had no modern anti-missile defences.

Its offensive weaponry was more impressive, but even then it barely carried the radars to support them.
Some are bigger than others, which means that they can launch more missiles (and maybe also longer range missiles). They may also have more powerful radars, and have a more central role in coordinating the fleet as a whole.

Also, they have more people, so it's a bigger deal if they get sunk.
Neptune. Waiting for a surprise attack on a big target? They entered in service a year ago.
That's why DEXs should rely on order books, not AMMs. Front running can be avoided by allowing traders to place limit orders. AMM orders are even worse than market orders because slippage provides more room for manipulation.
That's the trouble with relying on a democracy to be the big muscle in your defense pact.
If you don't have money or strategic reason to finish a ship, or arm it you don't finish it.

Frankly, that kind of ship has no place in a Ukrainian fleet, so to spend billions on it would make no sense. Ukraine as a province of Russian Empire, for that Empire - yes. But not for Ukraine proper.

That ship is designed to take on American fleet in Black Sea and elsewhere.

Ukraine just needs to a small / fast Black Sea fleet and possibly a few micro subs etc..

Most rules are tied to particular elements of play, and in most games, the involvement of a specific rule is indicated by association with a color which can applied as an accent to those elements. You can tell when en passant applies in chess because potential moves are clearly indicated, when poison is involved because the enemies, terrain, or even just the screen-vignette is tinted green. If you can integrate a color into the entities that are most directly affected by the rule in later situations, then players can infer the rules absence by the absence of the color indicator, which should stand out enough to be notable but be subtle enough to still look cohesive in later levels.
Sadly, I don't think it will let users view video that require login.

For example, some 6min show that goes on live french TV everyday got flagged and requires login to be viewed, for age reason.

Tl;dr: 11.5 km/kWh or 7.1miles/kWh.

For reference, compact EVs were getting 4 to 5 miles/kWh five+ years ago.

A Tesla model S gets about 3 miles/kWh, or a bit under half the efficiency of the EQXX.
Just like computer science is greater than programming computers, programming computers is greater than computer science. Neither is a complete subset of the other.

It's sort of how like geometry (literally 'the measure of land', originally an applied mathematical field used for surveying) is newer than literally drawing property boundaries. It was the formalization and abstraction that led to computer science as a true mathematical field, which happened after actual programming occurred. We can reproject CS concepts on these earlier programs looking back, but the field of CS is newer than they are.
I have a wife and 2 kids under 13.

- We have a phone that never leaves home and has no SIM card. We use it for banking apps and 2FA critical services.

- So our "street phones" don't have any banking apps installed, nor social media apps, 2FA nor password managers.

- We have a paper notebook with secrets and 2FA recovery codes in the bookshelf sitting among many other notebooks and old dusty random stuff.

- Our kid's phones have DNS pointing to Cloudflare's family filter server. Their YouTube accounts are set to filter adult content.

- We use BitWarden family plan for sharing passwords among us.

- We use a Keybase team to share documents between us and our personal devices. Everything is, in theory, encrypted and we can revoke the device in case it gets lost/stolen.

- Our laptops have luks drive encryption and we transport them turned-off. So in case they are lost/stolen, data in the drives are unreadable.

What about CLONES?
Sure, I'll believe that an ammunition fire on the Moskva is what sank it. Hower that fire was caused by... Top contenders are missile and inept crew.

Looks like Russia would rather we accept that the crew was inept than it was sun by a Ukrainian made missile
It made stock prices go up so a bunch of retirees could live comfortably and also made several presidents look presidential while they heartfelt condolences over flag-draped caskets.
> Wood glue and sawdust being pressed into something that looks like wood but falls apart fairly easily, is an example of when technology makes things much worse and is used strictly for maximizing profit at the expense of quality. There's a lot of that today.

Right so let's dive into that a bit. Why is this maximizing profit? Because solid wood is expensive. Why is solid wood expensive? Because it's a limited resource. I can guarantee you that if governments took away forestry restrictions that solid wood furniture would start to be built in a matter of months as new wood mills setup churning through previously restricted lands, at least until the Earth is deforested and climate change wreaks even greater havoc than it is already. Then once the forests are gone, the wood industry will collapse and wooden furniture would end until some brave government musters the will to repopulate a few forests.

Profit isn't the scary boogieman that this ideology likes to make it out to be. Profit is the difference between revenue and expense. Reducing expenses is a way to use resources more efficiently. In this case, we stave off deforestation by pressing low-quality wood scraps and sawdust into OSB and MDF boards. Would you rather we deforest the Earth instead? Remember that working with OSB and MDF is tricky because of how brittle they are as materials. It is much easier _and cheaper_ to design processes around solid wood or plywood if possible. Fundamentally wood is a limited resource. Learning how to use wood more efficiently is what allows more humans to have a quality of life where they can afford furniture at all while keeping the Earth forested.

In general though, applying the critique that chasing profits has impacted furniture quality is shortsighted. Margins on furniture are tiny. Consumers only have so much money they are willing to spend on furniture and cabinetmakers and industrialized furniture companies respond in kind. The critique would be more cogent _if_ furniture profit margins were higher but they really aren't. Unfortunately, wood really is just that expensive. Don't believe me just ask some woodworkers. Or go to the lumberyard and just try to do some rough calculation on how much it would take to build a piece out of solid wood.

This all comes back to my main point. The ideology that progress/profits/conspiracy is what's making things worse and the past was a better status quo is tautological; there's no proof or even research necessary to make the statement, only the invocation of conspiracy (c.f. profits.) Markets are complicated because reality is complicated. Some markets are indeed full of morally bankrupt boards charging huge margins on cheap goods. But reality has a surprising amount of detail and using some tautological ideology to advocate for technological regression is short-sighted.

Go talk to a few cabinetmakers and ask them about their feelings (or complaints lol) on Ikea furniture. I can guarantee you that will give you better insight into the world of furniture and wood than making a tautological anti-capitalist statement would with ideological eschatological fervor.
You're right, TASS is a Russian state press agency transmitting official propaganda but what this is an example of is Russians admitting their own loss. It rarely happens in this war, which makes this all the more interesting.
This is a side note. I've thought about setting up an AWS account just to play around with, what is the likelihood of a senior embedded c/c++ programmer really screwing up and end running up several thousand-dollar bill just because he put an innocuous infinite loop somewhere out of ignorance? :) Is there some trigger you can set such that CPU usage/bandwidth usage won't do something that you will never financially recover from since I won't have any knowledgeable devs to look to.

> for gold to be used, resistance to corrosion must be important.

from google, copy pasta: "Gold plating is the deposit of a thin layer of gold metal on a substrate, typically in the 0.25 – 5 micron range (0.00001”-0.0002”)."

Not a lot of gold is used in plating the business ends of an RCA cable or TRS connector.

Al, yes, more copy pasta: "Aluminum has a very high affinity to oxygen. When a new aluminum surface is exposed in the presence of air or any other oxidizing agent, it quickly develops a thin, hard film of aluminum oxide (or hydrated oxide in non-stagnant water). This aluminum oxidation is precisely what makes aluminum so corrosion-resistant."

But I doubt the thin, hard film of aluminum oxide conducts as well as gold. Nope.[1]

This is it really. We have no idea how much American / outside involvement going on.

It may not even have been a Ukrainian-made missile. Maybe it was a Harpoon, but they're just saying Ukrainian because NATO doesn't want the public credit.

Russia had 100's of advisors in North Vietnam during the Cold War I don't see why the US shouldn't have support units all around E. Ukraine.
No one is advocating for absolute free speech.

Just expanding what’s allowed. Currently, Twitter’s policies are extremely lopsided.

I don’t think anyone is calling for allowing violence, threats, etc.
TASS is a news agency, like Reuters or AP, not a newspaper.

While it's significant, it's also propaganda. At the very least, WP has a policy to maintain a neutral point of view and to only put things on the site which can be reliably sourced.

We should be sensitive to the power of a site like this in relaying harmful propaganda.
There are a ton of alternate SMS providers and aggregators. All of them will tell you that they've got 100% direct routes and that they're the best, and they're all lying. :P

If you have a feedback loop to indicate successful receipt of messages, the best thing to do is to use multiple providers and track success by destination carrier and route to whatever provider is working best at the time. If you run graphs on this, you'll find out lots of interesting things --- like when one aggregator goes down, you can see which other aggregators are using them.

I don't want to endorse any providers, but if you're looking for messages to the US, the list of partners from the shortcode registry is a decent place to start https://www.usshortcodes.com/partners/find-partner
Bezos has Washington Post as his mouthpiece. Murdoch has Fox News. Musk doesn't really need more money. I don't think this is just pump and dump.

Is it possible Musk is looking to buy a method to influence a populace for his own ends? I.E. is this a method for him to influence a population to gain power and sway over elections, organizations, etc?
It’s in my root comment in this thread. I’m not giving my personal value judgment — it’s the value judgment of the ~75% of adults in the US who don’t use Twitter. It’s a real stretch to say that something less than a quarter of the population uses is “vital” for everyday life. How many Americans do you think go a month without electricity or sewage?
Though to be fair, the West 's position is everyone has their lines but plays by our rules. The western governments put huge pressure on the rest of the world to conform their laws and norms to be beneficial to the globalized world order they themselves invented. This world order includes good things like human rights and rule of law, but also questionable things like the deck being heavily stacked in favor of the incumbents and winner takes all hypercapitalism.
Very nice. I find myself scrolling as if it's Twitter vs scrolling and squinting now.
Any answer besides "Ukrainian missile" is going to be even more embarrassing for Russia. At least a missile strike is enemy action. Any alternative explanation for the sinking of your flagship is just incompetence.
Russian/Soviet CIWS are mostly effective at targets over 50m. Harpoons are wave skimming. There was a plan to upgrade the Moskova with more modern CIWS but it didn't get funded.

It would be funny if he's already selling his shares for a tidy billion dollar plus profit and has no intention to buy even if the board accepts his non-binding offer. Not sure if this would be legal.
Very interesting from a theoretical perspective. Luckily most of the devices we use have software on them that we know is compromised (written in memory unsafe languages, closed source, telemetry enabled) already so I doubt we have to worry that much about IC backdoors being inserted after the fact. After all, why dig a tunnel to rob a bank when the backdoor isn't locked

What do you disagree with if I may ask? Most of the people I work with really like Julia, we have dabbled with it and would like to see it succeed python/matlab/r.

Why aren't we moving, you ask? Because moving to another ecosystem does not put bread on the table. I cannot go to clients and say: this past 6 months we made no improvements to our strategies, but look, we migrated to a new programming language that is used by a fraction of a percent of our peer group.

The field attracts clever people and there are many greenfield projects. But just because we start a new project, it doesn't mean that doing it in a tiny ecosystem is sensible. Some firms can do it. Jane Street has the means to basically be "OCAML The Systematic Trading Language". This is not a luxury afforded to most.

And thus we get a chicken and egg problem, where nobody wants to be the sole first mover as there's little advantage to it. At the same time, we all see that everyone would be much better off if we moved.
Confirmation from a hostile source. If Tass admits it sank, it probably sank.

There's an old saying that "aviation regulations are written in blood". If there's an FAA rule it most likely came about from the learning of an accident investigation.
Yea I'm right there with you. This is a feature parading as an industry.
By any measure, the war is going very badly for Russia. None of its claimed aims have been met, and the sinking adds to a long line of apparent military defeats.

This raises the question of what comes next if this kind of thing keeps happening. What does Russia do? Russia appears to have staked the farm on this operation. Can it afford anything less than total victory?

The Russian military has made a sizable investment in tactical nuclear weapons with allegedly 2,000 of them on hand [1]. These small weapons can be detonated in ways that produce minimal fallout but lots of destruction [2]:

> A tactical nuclear weapon (TNW) or non-strategic nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations, mostly with friendly forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory. Generally smaller in explosive power, they are defined in contrast to strategic nuclear weapons, which are designed mostly to be targeted at the enemy interior away from the war front against military bases, cities, towns, arms industries, and other hardened or larger-area targets to damage the enemy's ability to wage war.

With every conventional defeat faced by the Russian military and with the massive loss of credibility this causes, at what point does Russia decide that it's time to take the gloves off?
