There is no way in the world that the kind of person who writes a post like this and clearly places so much emphasis on gamified social media stats as a proxy for self-validation ever chooses to move to Sourcehut. No way. GitLab is most likely out of the question, too. The author of this post is exactly the kind of ideal customer for what GitHub is "selling" and that the others can't provide.

Reading about you reading about nuclear and finding it disturbing, I find disturbing. Not blaming you, but yes well the thing is in fact the nuclear bomb was designed by Leo Szilard to bomb Germany, I think specifically Berlin, but at any rate the axis. The Reich. The Nazis, same thing, it was a weapon for fighting antisemitism. The bomb was for the Reich. The bomb was originally intended for bombing Central Europe, and then as a side-thing to generate power (same thing, bombs release energy, power plants release energy). And the two are linked, American power plants were designed to get energy out of uranium, so good energy, but in the process make plutonium for nukes. I'm not sure if the first power plant (I think 200 watts) turned the uranium into plutonium.

I started writing this comment with just about the opposite point of view I finished writing it with. Oh well, it happens. But energy is power, it can be used for good or evil, it's not strictly evil, and in fact if you want to do good you'll need power to do it.

But it's the only price based on facts rather than opinion.
So far, Western economic sanctions have hastened the decline of the use of the US dollar as a means of exchange, especially among Russia, India, and China.

This transition has severe short-term disruption for Russia, but a wartime (sorry, "military exercise" time) sacrifice is much easier for its citizens to accept.

Not clear if this was the plan all along.
It is not even a speculation, it's a nonsense. Strike distance was between 50 and 150 km, ground based radar is useless against surface targets on that range. Neptune has an inertial+GPS navigation system with active radar on the final approach[1]. This is how anti-ship missiles are working.

Did you see their response on page 5? I'm skeptical like you generally but I find it a believable explanation.

"All results, including the positivity rates by vaccination status graph, are unadjusted. The team has observed that the positivity rates among unvaccinated individuals seen on the bar graph appear to be lower in comparison to vaccinated individuals. Furthermore, repeat testing among those who were previously positive in the last 90 days appear to confound the results. The team conducted additional analyses examining characteristics of the patient population by vaccination status and the impact of excluding recent COVID-19 cases (5.0% of total tests). Findings show that the unvaccinated group are typically younger and healthier, less symptomatic and less likely to report direct COVID-19 exposure or recent travel compared to vaccinated groups. Controlling for recent COVID-19 cases, results show that the unvaccinated group has a 17.1% higher positivity rate compared to the 3-dose group. Controlling for additional factors leads to a larger difference between groups."
Wait, so the punishment for not finishing is that... you don't have to pay?
There is no need to delete anything at all. Set the "private" flag when the user asks for to make it private. Unset the "private" flag when they make it public again.

If it is needful to be able to delete stars, make a separate button for that. But it is hard to imagine such a need.
what does your last point even mean? are you objecting to the idea that transphobia is bad? Nobody is suggesting not talking about transphobia. I didn't even say i agreed with censoring anything. I'm just pointing out that a lot of the stuff that does get censored is stuff that isn't adding anything meaningful to the conversation and is explicitly argued in bad faith.

Says right in the bottom of the article that Stalin wanted to seed the idea that the West was keeping Hitler alive for nefarious Western reasons.
To those who disagree, would it be right to just let every developer's plan go through without review? I'm not saying "no development", I'm promoting the equivalent of code reviews on PRs before merge.

Housing developers shouldn't have free reign to maximize their profits regardless of costs to a city.
> They quantify the additional risk of meltdown due to delaying new safety regulations. It's negligible compared to operating plants according to the new regulations.

First of all, that estimate was not made by an expert, as other commenters pointed out. Second, the additional risk is created not because of new safety standards, but also from all other factors where deviation from standard procedures could accelerate the process. This risk is hard to quantify, it can materialize in unexpected ways (just like nobody expected Chernobyl or Fukushima) and it will cost such rich and densely populated country as Germany trillions. The choice between „you may loose everything but Russia will suffer next year“ and „let’s try something else to actually stop the war“ has pretty obvious outcome.
It's also as far as I can tell a mostly solved question from a purely technical point of view.

Honestly the main reason it ever became that big topic in Germany this because of some catastrophically bad decisions about nuclear storage done in both east and west Germany. Worse at least in West Germany it was _known_ (by the people involved in making it) to be a idiotic decision and seem to have been done mainly to spite eastern Germany...

I guess that's not too bad, but still wonder how difficult it is to reliably achieve a precise launch angle?

Or are sensors so fast these days that this is easy? Maybe this is just a misplaced instinct from my subconscious fear of stuff hitting me in the head when kids inevitably start playing with centripetal motion using heavy objects.
>He mentions selling his shares if the takeover is not accepted.

No he didn't. He said he would reconsider ownership of his shares. He could, and might keep them, given that they've already made him money.
I haven’t verified this but I have a colleague that works in a different province than mine who said the government planned to create an app for snow something or other and it was in production for years and finally released a buggy mess and some college kid came along and recreated it in a weekend with glowing success.
This comment is made very often but it doesn't negate the point.

The discussion is not about one's individual experience, it's about the general cultural phenomenon that is Twitter. When extremists have millions of followers and thereby have an outsized (negative) influence on society this has a macro impact.
1) probably not the desired experience

2) probably part of the currently required setup on their database side (triggers)

Features tend to evolve evolutionarily and certain data patterns are hard to invent around for security/privacy constraints. So err on the side of deleting rather than potential privacy/security bug.

Definitely fixable with some decent investigation, coding, etc. - but hard to prioritize.
The US kept telling them not to get in bed with Russia. France kept telling them not to ditch nuclear to appease the irrational Greens. It was cynical political calculation to go for the cheapest energy source, global warming be damned.
True "Undo" is, IMO, a pipe dream for all but brand new projects. That will pretty much require you to rearchitect a decent chunk of anything that wasn't built with it explicitly in mind.

In this case, I don't quite understand why stars and forks need to be deleted when switching visibility, since it seems like the two shouldn't be linked. I can star and fork my private repos just fine, so it seems like it was just easier to clear it out than to deal with RBAC at that level.
Not sure why the correction of a common misconception is being downvoted here.

If you want to learn more about the history of the German economy between 1900-1945, the authority on the subject is the British historian Adam Tooze. He has a couple of books on the subject, listed on Wikipedia if you want to check them out.
I'm one of those people and I really don't see how this follows. Freedom of association for private entities is important, whether or not they are owned by Elon Musk.
So you never copy and pasted into dialog boxes? This is exactly the same thing as the Windows warning messages were they found that nobody reads the because they are being trained to click them away.

The main thing I really don't get is why it even needs to delete all the stars? It's not like they delete all comments/issues... by users who have been deleted. So why could they not simply make the star point to a "ghost repository"?
Because kids do not have the mathematical background to understand the Lagrange point
> Agree or disagree with the implementation, a state can simultaneously be doing terrible things while also trying to do good things. Governments are not a monolithic unit.

Ah! So when enough people disagree with the government then the solution is to change the government! You can change the government in China, right?

Right?
It's not meant as journalism, it's an essay. My reaction was similar though, I think that it's almost embarrassing to try and subject someone like Musk to this kind of smug analysis. Whether or not there is some validity, he's operating in such different plane that it just seems silly to bother considering his actions through the kind of lens The Atlantic would, however you want to interpret that.
Authoritarians tend to caricature freedom as lawlessness.
I think this is getting at the more robust solution.

When youtube videos are taken down or made private, they are not deleted necessarily from my playlists. There's simply an indicator that they video is 'no longer available'. I don't see why something similar can't be the behaviour for GitHub stars and watches?

Yes, well in my opinion, speaking as a published researcher in mis and disinformation: I have seen better definitions, usually something to the effect where it’s false information that runs contrary to known fact at the time of the claims being made. At the time, they thought the personnel were dead.
I live here too. Maybe we can meet some time and have a chat? There's a huge stretch of the old line running up through Kirkland which is pretty much completely surrounded by houses. One option to make it more useful would require building more car parks, but that's not a terribly good option.

The one section through Bellevue as shown does run along I-405, but on the wrong side with respect to downtown. So any trip along I-90 to downtown and beyond would take longer. There's a small stretch of the old line which did get repurposed at NE 8th street, but the old rail couldn't be kept anyhow because it wasn't elevated.

There's also the problem that the old rail is just one set of tracks, and so another set would be needed anyhow. Of source the original set would need to be replaced due to age. And there's the Wilburton trestle, which would have to be ditched and replaced for pretty much the same reasons.

The nice thing about the system that we're getting is that it connects to the new regions of the city which have higher urban density, like the Spring District. Keeping a few sections of the old line would result in slower travel times, and I don't see much savings in terms of cost.

The economic effects of stopping gas consumption are not immediate for Russia due to large financial reserves and it will not stop the war.
It will certainly harm Russian economy, but several months later and EU has no power to fully stop Russian exports - China is a big consumer too.
> Post-soviet states want to be part of NATO because they are afraid of Russian agression, and Russia is afraid of those states joining NATO, because that means it cannot agress against them.

There is some truth in that. But you are conveniently leaving out the other part. These post-soviet states are threatened with economic isolation/attacks/destruction/etc from "NATO/EU/US". Lets not pretend we are saints. The empire that needs to go today isn't the soviet union or russa. It's NATO. The greatest source of destruction, death, instability around the world.

> because that means it cannot agress against them.

What exactly prevents aggression against post-soviet states? Nothing. All their membership means is that they get to serve as buffers/firing range. Instead of germany or france taking the brunt of the bombs, it will be poland, latvia, etc. If russia invaded a post-soviet state, which country in NATO will come to their defense if it meant getting nuked by russia? Do you think britain is willing to get london nuked over lithuania? Think france will sacrifice paris? Every international treaty has been broken for a reason. If russia marched into poland or lithuania tomorrow, we'd all say see you in another 60 years.

> If you don't mind me asking, do you think the invention of the nuclear bomb was a mistake, and the world would be better off if nukes wouldn't have existed (1945-)?

No. I think every country should get nukes. Who doesn't want ukraine to get nukes? Russia and NATO. Think about it. Who doesn't want poland, lithuania, estonia, etc from getting nukes? NATO. What would have kept ukraine safe? What would keep post-soviet states safe? Nukes.

Lonely north korea angrily firing missiles into the sea of japan is far more secure than any post soviet state in NATO. You would think these post-soviet states would have learned their lesson, but they apparently have not. The only thing these countries have going for them is russia's weak economic position and the lack of incentive to invade post soviet states. Simple as that. Is there any sane lithuanian who truly believes any country is willing to suffer nuclear destruction on their behalf?
Japanese culture is weird to a westerner in some ways. Their people are just as shitty and willing as any other humans to exploit for personal gain, but it's never admitted or discussed in "polite" company. If someone ripped them off like this, they'd be reported to police for whatever the dine&dash offense is, but everyone would pretend that it never happened.

There's something desperately aspirational about certain parts of their culture.
Understandable! I used the phrase "soft maybe" earlier with deliberation aforethought, but I can't blame anyone for overlooking that in favor of the giant red flag I also sent up in the same comment. (Not when there's still 98 years and change to go on my ban from Scott Siskind's Substack, anyway...)

With regard to the value of recovering Moskva, I suppose I don't know. It's not all that young a design, and evidently struggles against even subsonic antiship missiles. Not that that means it's worth nothing, of course, but I could see the possibility that to attempt a recovery would be throwing good money after bad. That said, you quite evidently have experience in this realm that I lack, and your analysis is thus certainly better informed than mine.

Anyone who ever actually read Foucault would instantly realize he wasn't a Marxist because he thought it failed to sufficiently describe why the way we produce truth and knowledge shift historically, which more often than not tends to only be explainable as 'progress' after the fact.
I can't comment on the StarBook, but the Framework touchpad is really great. I had an early model that had a slightly annoying out-of-the-box issue where I had to click kind of hard, but after doing that it works great now. Two-finger scroll is super smooth, and it properly detects 1/2/3 finger gestures, etc.
Ok, then have a separate button: "Delete all 54,000 stars on this repo", completely independent of public/private.
Nothing compares to the Apple track pad.

My XPS 17 from 2020 has a worse trackpad than my 2012 MB Air.

Make sure to use the latest kernels. My Ryzen 2500U laptop has finally been fully stable and usable after about the 5.10 kernel. There were unfortunately a ton of bugs and issues with Ryzen, especially the APUs, in the earlier kernels. Ubuntu 21.10 or similar derivatives have been solid though.
Kind of clever. If in the depths of a block I could see myself giving up a deposit for the maximum self-destructive experience... but running out without paying crosses a moral line and hurts someone other than me that I couldn't do it.

Yeah, it's a different story when dealing with safety.

With industrial machines you have to assume people will do the dumbest thing possible. Because someone will find a way to get crushed in a moving part if they can.

You have safety fence after safety fence and regularly test that your lockouts work.

If you don't do all of this and someone dies you can face very harsh legal penalties.

We don't do this with software when the cost of failure is so much lower but we should still understand smart humans will make mistakes.

> What's to stop you dismissing him by dividing it up even more if it turns out he's actually studied the right area?

I would think my reasonableness would stop me in that case, but there's not much I can offer you when you've already assumed otherwise.

And to be extremely clear: I was merely responding to the metric/reasoning used in the parent comment, not making any claims about the author's qualifications in particular. It would've applied to anybody, whether Einstein or just a random dude. Even for Einstein, you don't say "I know Einstein was an expert because he went to grad school", you say (for example) "I know Einstein was an expert in mechanics because he came up with relativity, an expert in electromagnetism because he explained the photoelectric effect, etc." That was my point, is all.

Not mutually exclusive. The USSR did a lot of covert funding of Western anti-nuclear activists during the Cold War. In fact that was probably one V. V. Putin’s job descriptions when he was posted in Dresden.

> Critical thinking

Most people consider themselves critical thinkers, but subconsciously apply a bias on the sources they read.

For instance they would go to depth on and apply every single possible suspicion on news that are against their perception, or failing that, just simply labeling it as 'false news'. At the same time, news or information that conforms to their bias are accepted as truth usually without any questions asked.

It's alarming because most of the time it is worth a lot more to think critically of the news that conforms to what you believe - because you are already critical of those that are against it by default. That is what true critical thinking is.
> If they believed this, they wouldn't be selling at the current spot…

They’re not. You’re mixing up the market as a whole and the owners of a majority of shares.

The ask price is the lowest ask. If you buy a lot of something, you reach further into the order book and the price is going to be higher. If you want a 51% stake, then a lot higher.
> Tobacco advertising, pollution, lead gasoline... Clearly we do make moral choices and, as a democracy, pass laws restricting some activities.

We do, but I think it's rare, and much rarer than that list would imply. I see most of those as clear issues of public health. The one where that's a harder claim to make, advertising, it's about making the market function better. Free markets requires require widely distributed and accurate information to function correctly, and false information is extremely damaging to a free market.

> I'm not quite sure that unrestricted hyper-optimised misery factories are the thing we should be shooting for.

Neither am I. I'm not some free market only anti-regulation type. I think a completely unregulated market is trivially shown to be unworkable by our own history, so regulation is required to curtail blatant market manipulation. I even think more regulation restricting the size of large companies (or disincentivizing them) would be useful, but I think they need to be applied to foreign companies as well or we're just hurting ourselves without solving any problem.

There's probably a hundred ways that is infeasible and has problems, but it's obvious there are real problems to address with inequality and outsized companies with outsized influence, and something needs to change. I'm just hesitant to couch it in moral terms when it comes to what the government can and should do, because I think that's a slippery slope.
Or, have there be no need to undo anything. Why should ticking the "private" flag have any effect on anything else? If you wanted an effect on something else, a separate button "Nuke all 53,675 star from this repo", with its own protections, would suffice.
