In true "decentralised fashion" the devs spread their info thin over multiple veues so it's hard to hunt down their statements.

This upgrade represents the official switch to proof-of-stake consensus. This eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining, and instead secures the network using staked ether. A truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision – more scalability, security, and sustainability.

You are supremely correct comrade!
Do you mean the response to a Russian nuclear aggression would be nuclear?
> The US Navy is gradually decommissioning their cruisers and can't afford to build new ones.

The Ticonderoga class cruisers are 9,600 tons, the Arleigh Burke Flight III destroyers are 9,700 tons, the Zumwalt class destroyers are almost 16k tons.

We have newer cruisers, we just call them destroyers.
Can you say where you were seeing those prices? That's wildly different from what I see in my metro area. At my local McDonalds a Big Mac meal is $6, not $11.
This comment is indistinguishable from satire.
> Ukraine just needs to a small / fast Black Sea fleet and possibly a few micro subs etc..

And a lot of missiles....
What I was hearing earlier is the old anti-missile RADAR that was in use on that ship was not capable of dealing with targets approaching from multiple sides at once, and so the Ukrainians flew a UAV on one side to effectively "distract" it, while the Neptunes struck it on the other side.
That seems pretty wild. Torpedos don't strike the side of a ship, rather they are meant to explode underneath for max damage. So even if a CVN could hydroplane, I don't think it would evade a torpedo.
Alternatively, one could assume a false record for dentistry matching to someone else.

At a nation-state level, this would certainly be a reasonable level of “attack.” Could come either from German or Soviet assets, both having possible motive.

One wonders how the Bin Laden disposal will play in the future. Perhaps similarly...
Hey, no fair -- you sound like you actually know what you're talking about...
As someone who has built my own blog (and blog platform) more than a few times, built WordPress themes many times, currently maintains a blog-ish site on Webflow, and used hosted blogging services numerous times...this blog post sounds like the most exhausting possible way to build a blog.

I think Workday does the same. Trying to scrape data from there was a nightmare (team didn't have api access).
Just because you believe in one theory that doesn't adhere to the mainstream "theory" of history does not make you a complete crackpot that believes all conspiracy theories. Come on.
I agree with this somewhat. But I also think in the face of unknowable true desires, that the preferences revealed by what does and doesn't get used by more people should be taken seriously and at face value.

I saw "web 1.0" versions in the early to mid 2000s of pretty much every product that became big in the late 2000s and 2010s. People made their choice.

> Add in the shift in drone technology and the argument for big, non carrier surface combatants looks poor.

The newer American destroyers are bigger than the last cruisers we built, so phasing out of cruisers isn't about not having big, non-carrier surface combatants.
My uneducated guess is that the primary goal of the latest rhetoric about the possible use of chemical weapons is intended to make this more clear. If "we" (not the US yet, but other countries that are nearer) are signalling a readyness to respond kinetically if chemicals are used, surely the message is that nuclear would trigger an even greater response.
Two questions. US ships usually have phalanx defensive systems for anti missle deterrents. I’ve always heard these are pretty effective as long as their active and not overwhelmed.

Does the Russian navy not possess these? Or do they, and it just didn’t work well?
> ...Russians could sabotage nuclear reactors. They use such a remote possibility as an argument against all nuclear, seemingly forgetting that:

Germany is surrounded by other countries with nuclear power.

Russian sabotage would be an act of war.

If Germany is at the point where Russia is attacking its nuclear power plants, I sure hope it’s not in a position where it depends on Russian gas.

This is a deeply unserious policy direction.

I presume it would at least make a full embargo more likely?
Fair, but also besides the point, the post is just trying to illustrate their system, and it does it well in my view.
I learned a lot building https://sqwok.im and am currently building a brand new project using most of the same stack (use what you know!).

The project calls for a consumer mobile app with an administrative web app.

The stack:

- Cloudformation all the things (front/back/deploy/routing/etc)

- Python Starlette rest api

- Dynamodb

- Cognito (not using their web ui)

- Ember.js for the web app

- React-native for the mobile app

Using whatever tech you're familiar with is the best bet to getting a project off the ground quickly in my opinion.
What kind of possibilities are there for Lua on android and ios app development? Any experiences there?
The real problem with MEV is that it distorts the consensus mechanism in weird and unpredictable ways. MEV is essentially free money that could be considered part of the block reward, but it exists at the application layer so it really can’t be accounted for in the consensus protocol incentive design. Application layer logic (“smart contracts”) can move arbitrary value in arbitrary ways, which can create wild volatility from block to block.

A similar problem appears to emerge when Bitcoin’s block reward disappears, as high volatility in block rewards would cause rational miners to behave in suboptimal ways.
It amounts to "statement against interests." If Tass admits it sank, it sank.
Pretty sure the drone wasn’t merely a distraction, I think they have pods with data links to the missiles with also talk to each other.
Ok, lets take the obvious example ---- traditional banking. Lots of small players doing quite well in a highly regulated market.

Ask HN: Where is the best place to host mercurial code repos?
Google and Facebook use mercurial as their preferred VCS and one thing I noticed when I left and switched to git (and friends have noticed this as well) is that git sucks.

The biggest issue I personally have with git is its poor ability to handle chained and rebased commits. Since this isn't a problem with mercurial, I used to able to create several small PRs and chain them together, make edits anywhere in the chain and propagate them down chain in an instant. The second you squash a PR with git, be ready to spend the next 15+ min dealing with merge conflicts rebasing several PRs. This has pretty much lead me either creating larger PRs or switching contexts - which slow everyone down.

I'd love to go back to using mercurial - where is the best place to host a mercurial repository with tooling similar to/on par with Github?
Same here. Dad bought the parcels on both sides of the rail line and "reconnected" it back into a single parcel back in the 90s.
You asked for an example of the legislature writing the laws of supply and demand, on the forum at least in large part about the software industry. An industry whose primary product has zero marginal cost but is none-the-yet scarce due to the acts of legislative bodies.

Supply, demand, and price can all be manipulated, including in ways that divorce one from the other two. Either by governments or by sufficiently large private actors. This... isn't controversial, even among the most staunch of neo-classical economists.

> How about you being more specific?

Believe it or not, there exists non-free software. So, to be more specific, I am referring to literally any machine that is not running a completely FOSS stack. Or even any machine that IS running an entirely FOSS stack but is being used in commerce and where some parts of that software stack are patent-protected!

I.e., basically every machine used for commerce and the vast majority of consumer machines. 99% of the global install base? More?

Again, this whole thread is an excellent demonstration of my original post. This is the Econ equivalent of getting into an argument with a political scientist over whether NVIDIA's latest chip is really just a <insert idealized model of computation>. These arguments don't even happen, except in econ with non-economists, because nobody has strong ideological attachments to Newtonian mechanics or the number of tapes on a turing machine or whatever.
I remember it from the times where you had ESD (enlightenment sound demon) running on Linux, and this in addition. At least that was the default on some Redhat systems, IIRC?
self-ageism
The world stage doesn’t really matter to Russia. It’s pretty clear that their propaganda and words are being aimed at Domestic audiences and allies. And unfortunately it’s working.

If they wanted to use tactical nukes they would have likely used it to take Kyiv. That they did not suggests they aren’t going to use them. Their goal now seems to be annexing/liberating parts of eastern Ukraine and bullying zelenski into neutrality.

Vanguard themselves don't have a vote. It's proxy vote through those who actually own it. Most people don't vote, and even if they did? Probably would end up siding with Musk. Twitter wasn't defended, it seems they wanted out of the game or they cashed out a little too much? I would be surprised if it doesn't work.

Assuming Elon does what he says, that this is about free speech. This is going to be fantastic for human society. This might arguably end up being the thing that brings society together talking again to each other. Providing for tremendous benefits.

Trump was also kicked off of twitter while being excoriated in the media and then took, what, two years to launch something?

Musk is not nearly as trashed in the media and could leverage promoting an alternative while still on twitter. Obviously there does need to be something that is at least reasonably differentiating from twitter, and I think that is the real challenge as just saying it is twitter but more free is not as tangible.
The cheaper something is to produce, the more of it one can produce and hence the greater the supply.

This only affects the price if there are competitors. If I want a widget, the total supply of widgets is irrelevant. For example Insulin, the fact that you have tons more of it won't make the price go down, you have it and I need it. You can sell it for whatever I am willing to pay irrespective of supply or production costs.

FWIW, most of those look terrible for anyone (significantly?) taller than average. Headrests are a big no-no for me because they cut into my upper back or shoulder blades, and integrated headrests into seat backs are even worse (this includes headrests on chairs like Leap, which is supposedly good for tall people).

Eg. check out the posture of the guy in the video under "Functions" for one of their chairs at around 00:16 in at https://shop.stressless.com/en/home-office/stressless-magic-... — that's not how you should be sitting with your chair making you slump your shoulders, and the guy doesn't even look particularly tall.

But this mostly illustrates the point that chair choices are a hugely individual matter.
Ukraine has also not yet attempted to hit Moscow (the city, not the ship) with missiles.

Once a nuclear bomb is used, a lot of gloves will come off, not just the Russian ones, and so far Ukraine appears to have a lot of extremely competent military partners and Russia has a reluctant Belarus.
When I was younger, I loved the idea that Hitler secretly escaped. I'm not sure why - it's certainly an interesting idea! The theory was even mentioned often in some of my school books. But even then I clearly understood that it was a pretty outlandish "what if" scenario.
This is a slightly unique situation as prevailing winds are from the west so fallout would just end up in Russia most of the time.

> 1st amendment means regarding government censorship

that's just a loophole from people who have no argument so they go with the [legal in the US = Moral]. Just because the modern "public space" is now private, it doesn't make it any less bad when the group in charge arbitrairely ban groups of people based on politics, opinion, etc.

whether you like it or not (I hate it personally), the vast majority of the news and opinions that people consume today comes directly or indirectly (eg. linking an NYT article on facebook) from a handful of social media companies. It's getting even worse now that organisations and politicians are using social media platforms as their official channel of communications

I think we have a similar problem with email accounts. Getting your gmail account banned can really fuck your life and sooner or later something will have to be donne to protect people (eg. force them to a have a proper appel system or to hand over all your data +forward your emails for a while after they kick you out).
"Terrorist radicalization" is a nonsense buzzword cultivated by warmongers and governments trying to manufacture consent for oppression.

Terrorists are radicalized by material conditions, the speech that is claimed to radicalize them is part of the process but it is not causal. Western imperialism created ISIS, not a handful of bloggers who are mad about it.

Do you think if you read ISIS propaganda you'd feel compelled to join, or is the speech itself not the primary factor in radicalization?
To be fair, the ship was considered to be not worth repairing, but did not sink. It could have been repaired. But your point is accurate that it in drydock and it is embarrassing that the fire couldn't be put out sooner.
It was patent-locked until a few years ago thanks to Amazon, but beyond that, handling payment information is a pretty hairy process. Credit card numbers are considered to be PCI and the network subject you to annoying audits and processes to be able to store it.

So, for one thing, it's not possible for retailers because very few (probably none) store payment credentials anymore. Too expensive - that's what payment processors are for.

For payment processors themselves, clearly they can, it's the subject of the parent post, but there are regulatory hurdles.

Any insight as to why fires on ships are hard to control? I hear it and believe. On the other hand I've been inside of military ships before and they are partitioned, with lots of metal doors to section off and contain damage, so I don't understand the difficulty.

Russia uses a similar system, the Kashtan CIWS. This article (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61103927) indicates that the Moskva did have one installed, though I don’t know why it didn’t help in this case.
Insider information isn’t information that only exists in your mind.
Typically they would just be left there and (very) slowly degrade. As an example, the Dutch navy still clears hundreds of mines and unexploded bombs every year, left over from the 2nd world war. The explosives still work and are usually triggered with a small clearing charge so that they won't pose any danger to fishermen and the like.

So yes there is potential to detonate, but in general that does not matter a lot unless you are the unluckiest person in the world and happen to be right above it at the time. The explosive wave front expands in a sphere and so decreases in amplitude with the square of the distance to the origin. It loses lethal potential very quickly.
Sorry for late reply if you see this at all.

I like it. I assume there isn’t an alternative so I’m forgiving of any friction or limitation as it has enough of the basics to do most things. The main thing id like is better UX with filtering/highlighting things. It does support those things though
It doesn't have to be nuclear. Any direct response from NATO would be a losing scenario for them.
Right, but censorship can only happen at the state level. The New York Times not letting Alex Jones write a column is not censorship or reprisal, it's an editorial decision. Same for Twitter or HN. The Douma deciding to ban certain words like "war" or "invasion" in relation to Ukraine, or the executive arresting bloggers on planes, that's censorship.

However the law has to put boundaries on free speech, because it can easily infringe on someone else's basic rights, so there is no such thing as completely free speech in practice. Even within the circle of your best friends, there would be limits to what you can say, wouldn't there?

I do believe we agree. I'm merely trying to be precise in my use of words like censorship, lest they become meaningless.

I haven't been tracking developments very closely, but a minimal set of objectives would be claiming land up to the Donetsk/Luhansk oblast boundaries under DPR/LPR flags, which can be framed as a victory. Nukes are unlikely compared to simply changing what "victory" means.

The main gripe isn't that hate speech is being censored, although personally I don't think it should be. We complain about Twitter because anything to the right of Stalin is a potential censorship target, depending on Twitter's editorial marching orders for the day.

edit: I'm a little disappointed in myself for thoughtlessly going along with your framing. There's no such thing as "hate speech".

A large (majority?) part of gaining an expertise is precisely through a large volume of meticulous reading. But I think we're saying the same thing: most people "doing their own research", are not doing meaningful research, partly because it's a herculean undertaking.

The problem with that argument is that Crimea had been considered a part of Russia as far back as about the founding of the United States, and prior to that had nothing to do with a Ukrainian National project. Crimea isn't even mentioned by name once in the Wikipedia article you linked. Why would they be targeted as Ukrainians at that time?

I've traveled to China for two decades. There is both great prosperity and astounding poverty there ($300=2000Yuan/year is defined as poverty). Whatever you may see on TV there is plenty of homelessness even in Shanghai/Beijing/Shenzhen (for many who lack an appropriate identity card) and also much greater destitution in the outlying regions. There is no free medical care. Of course "people report" high satisfaction with a government that can and does throw them in jail for disagreeing. That visibly happens even in independent Hong Kong. Be careful what "Western sources" are actually propaganda outlets. It is amazing what large monetary donations to journalism and research universities can buy in the US, EU, and Australia, but there is plenty of other documentation.

That you compare "religious suppression" (reeducation prison camps with forced labor and sterilization) in Xinjiang to not wearing a hijab in France is quite frankly shocking.

The interesting thing here is there was a conspiracy! At the direction of Stalin, the Soviet Union knew that they had Hitler's remains but intentionally sowed the idea of his escape. And we're not entirely sure why.

So it's a wrong conspiracy theory that has been debunked, but because of a real conspiracy theory that we have evidence for.
