>So you want boots on the ground? Whose? Yours? Your children's?

Boots are already on the ground. Ukrainians childrens boots. They are already fighting the largest land battle in european history since World War II at this very moment. Russia has already taken greater losses than Germany did with the invasion of Poland.

Ukraine's fate is our own. And the longer we pretend this is just another foreign conflict, the more danger we will be in.
This 'national sovereignty' and 'world order' degrade didn't start with this war. Russians are now just using our double standards. They don't recognise our sui generis. You can call it whataboutism or however you like. World order is a thing for powers to sort and national sovereignty is just an illusion for smaller and weaker countries.

Call me a cynic...
I feel like you are ignoring a major issue with Ukraine. Its a corrupt country. After Russia it is consistently ranked as the most corrupt country in Europe.

How do we even know any of our aid is being used successfully? I have no problem giving aid that is used to fight a proxy war with Russia. I have a huge issue giving aid to a country whose politicians are trying to make money for themselves. Kolomoisky, who is one of Zelensky's main backers, was indicted in the US for bank fraud. He is also in the panama papers. The politicians in Ukraine are corrupt, not as corrupt as old putin imo, but still corrupt.

Now they are saying they need 7 billion dollar a month? I would be okay with this if everything was tracked and open for all to see. Buts it not. For all we know they are going to take 6 billion for themselves.

I read the comment as being a complaint specifically about the rule that board members should have to act in the financial interest of shareholders. If the intention was to criticize ownership rights of shareholders or to argue for legal limitations on the powers of a company's owners, then my response definitely doesn't address that.
> Most younger people are quite skeptic of mainstream media so they don’t trust the narrative CNN and Fox News are trying to sell them.With the elderly it’s the opposite.

That's a funny use of the word skeptical. I think you mean outright ignorant.

That's how we get "Dear Mister President Vladimir Putin…"

They simply don't care beyond an opportunity to self-aggrandize. We're over a month in, Ukraine is old news already.

Before you call me an old fogey, I am younger than the woman in this video clip with 32 million views.

These are dark times.
Why would you assume that? If Elon buys twitter and starts banning everyone with pronouns in their bio I think that would be bad and stupid but it wouldn't be a free speech issue. People would just go elsewhere. Everything would be fine.
To me it sounds that you've put your career first, and now that you've essentially beaten that game you're lost on what to do next. A lot of engineers switch to doing other things they like, an ex Microsoft dev made their own winery using their skills. A number of them just work on pet projects. Or a lot of people transition more into their community. - is there a high school or people to mentor? In education especially in rural areas it's hard to come by people with experience.

Travel, meet people, enjoy good food, do drift racing, life is what you want out of it.
Automation Is the Serialization of Understanding
The Algolia side is required and expected, no? I know you can hide said details to be even safer, but it's expected to have the API public tokens available to the client so they can use the API from your site. The keys shouldn't work on other sites since the API will whitelist your application URL, so stealing them is pointless.
HN has generally good & reasonable moderation and isn’t engaged in blatant political censorship, it’s not that complicated.
May I suggest looking at corporate sales enablement/internal education? Usually super nice people, well paid, not especially stress-y (at least in any healthy organization).
Communication is important. Like, more important than almost anything else.

You can't improve yourself without feedback via communication.

You can't compromise without communication.

You can't have a meaningful relationship (work or romantic) without communication.

You can't build something useful without communicating with those you're building it for.

Life is all about communicating meaningfully with others. Don't put off figuring that out like I did.
Get your Testosterone checked in the early morning two times (about a week apart). If you are under 300 both times, go see a Urologist for treatment. It could be your hormones.
Bitcoin had script opcodes before any forks, so it doesn't matter which fork they cite.
Send an email to the mods, the contact link is at the bottom.

Looking at your previous submissions, they are "Show HN" but they are not the type of post described in the rules for https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

> On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in their hands. For hardware, you can post a video or detailed article. For books, a sample chapter is ok.

There are some corner cases like a blog post of a project you made yourself, but your post are about current news that are covered in many other sources.
I hope you like maintaining a fork forever, because that's the most likely outcome.
You can't just have two possible opinions in society, we've been going more in that direction and it is quite hostile to freedom.

Love him or hate him, Elon adds value because he has a lot of power which isn't at all aligned with either of the two dominating opinions in America.
>The only problem I ever had with KDE is it randomly hogging the CPU.

Can you be more specific, like what process exactly did that?
never loads, for me
Got 1Password family plan 2 or 3 years ago. Still waiting for the wife and I to be able to sit down so I can get her set up with it. I use it. My wife says she wants to use it and we remind ourselves to do it whenever there's a cybersecurity horror-story... but then it never happens.

Also, got some yubi-keys which I use for aws and gmail. Still have a raincheck for my wife to try those.

Yes, I told her it's not hard to get started, she could do it herself if she wanted to, but she wants to discuss it at length and spend time on it (I agree with that, but geez, it's hard to do stuff like this). Taxes are a nightmare enough for us.

I knew when I saw the title here that there would be multiple stories of folks who have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND AND THEN SOME, HN-style. Ain't going to happen in my house.
The source is suspect for sure, but the information is true on this specific point.

Bitcoin does have smart contracts, and op codes. Thats correct, regardless of your disagreements with the source.
Hackernews is just as censorious as twitter. Comments get flagged and moderated solely by the positions taken within and then system has the gall to then tell you to read the comment policies which you didn't violate as they are from the libertine age that preceded this one.

Controversial post rarely reach the front page anymore and if they do they are full of reasonable and true comments fading into gray and finally away. Meanwhile the most on the nose, vile and hateful propaganda get's voted to the top with rarely anyone speaking against it.

I understand you do this for a good cause, because you think it will save lives or make society better. It won't.

There is an underlying reality with it's ground truth and that can only ever be glimpsed through the verbal sparring of ideas and ideologies.

To those truly concerned about "harmful misinformation", you should know that the greatest atrocities in human history were committed when one side, faction or ideology could dictated what everyone said and wrote.

This is not an accident.

The most harmful misinformation is that which no one is allowed to correct.
> Finally Russia has, in my opinion, waged a fairly successful social media campaign to muddy the waters. Those videos of Ukrainians discriminating against people or color were signal boosted everywhere on Twitter. Same with the Azov Batallion which some people believe are the entire Ukrainian army. You also have people bringing up Yemen, Syria, Palestine, etc to emphasize the “white-supremacist” support of Ukraine receiving overwhelming attention.

On the other side of things, on Reddit, nothing unfavorable about Ukraine is getting attention. You don't see any posts about Russia gaining territory, or Zelensky censoring media outlets favorable to opposition parties.

And nowhere on reddit or in the media do I see a discussion of the pros and cons of a Ukrainian surrender. It's really hard to see how Ukraine will successfully fend off a country 10x its size. (If someone has an answer as to why that might be realistic, I'm open to hear it).
Except there is no perfect competition, and none for Arizona Iced Tea: only Arizona sells it, no one else.

They are, of course, engaged in competition with Pepsi, and also with water, food, and rent. If they were to raise their price, some number of people may decide they don't need any Arizona Iced Tea.

I did and I do, I lived in 15 countries 6 months each while nomading and founding my company for 10 years. I've already had more adventures than the vast majority of people ever will. After some crazy 20ies I'm now having some serious 30s.

The thinks I want can't be bought. They can be made with a huge amount of money and work. I would never be satisfied in buying a great object, I would rather make a mediocre one I made myself.
Some people want watches and wine, some people want to go to Mars, to populate the oceans, dig tunnels, build awesome stuff, fix an illness for all humanity and generations to come. I'm sure you and most hacker news are closer to 2nd group.
> I will never for those reasons support sending another soul down range.

Even if Poland or a NATO ally gets attacked?

I don't think anyone major is proposing sending troops to Ukraine, so this discussion is sorta irrelevant for the current conflict, but it seems like this line of reasoning would necessitate pulling out of NATO as well.
Konqeror was the best.
Eh, it's just the squeaky wheels, like it is anywhere. I find that people are much more likely to speak out (or up/down vote) in support of something they also do that they feel vaguely guilty for, possibly in an effort to assuage their guilt be explaining themselves and looking for people to tell them it's okay, than people are to condemn others, depending on the acceptableness of what's being discussed.

I think most people don't want to come across as puritanical hard-asses, so either keep quiet or are not as forceful in their criticisms and condemnations in a public forums like this with lots of different subgroups. That may make it seems like people are generally accepting of a behavior when they're not.

Importantly, I think this isn't limited to online forums, but it is lessened when there's more conformity in group discussion which is easier when it's smaller. That has it's own dangers though, such as being much more accepting of problematic behavior because the group is all similar in a way that makes it acceptable.

I think the solution is to see it for what it really is, and just realize what you see isn't always representative of the norm.

They swooped into a field they were not experts in and caused problems. Intentions are beside the point. They thought they were the smartest ones in the room but they didn't understand the underlying issues.

Free speech must have sane boundaries drawn at some arbitrary level. Death threats and terrorism surely go beyond what should be acceptable.
Anyone giving you advice is giving you advice colored by their own experiences. When you do get advice, you'll have to translate it from their world to yours. If you don't understand someone's experiences and they don't understand yours, then it's unlikely you'll be able to translate it.

Just to pick an example--if you talk to an academic advisor in college, think about what kind of person becomes an academic advisor in the first place. Are they the kind of person you are?
Read books. Build cool things. Cultivate your relationships. You need to aggressively protect your time. Ignore all else.
It's not. Contrarian takes on the internet are 90% trolling and 9% clueless/bad faith arguments being presented as if they had the same weight of evidence behind them as the (usually) established view.

The 1% of actually contrarian arguments are usually well received, even if they differ significantly from the status quo or say something outside the Overton window.
Don't spend too much time working on computers, or any other one thing, even if you're super into it. When you're young is a great time to start making social connections, so try to meet new people, expose yourself to new things. You're more likely to make lifelong friends when you're young, meet your spouse, etc. You don't make many new friends as you get older.

The sooner you start saving, the richer you are when you retire. The longer you wait to start saving, the poorer you'll be for the rest of your life. By a lot. And the more you save (younger), the earlier you can retire. If you put everything away starting now, you can retire when you're 35.

As far as relationships: remember that most of us see the world through what we want and how we feel, rather than seeing what a different person wants or feels. We can trick ourselves into thinking everything in a relationship is fine, because we feel fine... meanwhile the other person doesn't feel fine. Put yourself in their shoes, ask yourself (and them) what they want, how they feel. Develop Emotional Intelligence.
Travel, but learn the languages of the place you go to while it's still easier. Best decision of my life to start doing this and now I spend a lot of time doing what I'd be doing anyways in terms of a career path but with the added benefit of knowing how easy it is to spend a few hundred dollars and do the same thing but in a paradise with nice weather and beautiful people.

Drugs and booze - Go easy on these things, alot of people here are saying total abstinence and that's a hilarious thing to tell an 18 year old. Just go easy on them. Keep your focus on relationships instead and realize that these things can be an impediment to that. Don't touch stimulants or opiates, even if prescribed take with caution.

Learn finance. Personal finance, economics, all the math around it. It will make your life a lot easier down the line when you don't have to worry about money as much as others who missed that. Keep spreadsheets. Above all don't get greedy and your fortunes will soar.

If you end up in a work situation which is coercive or horrible in any way because of the management or horrible toxic coworkers (abusive boss, whatever) bounce the fuck out and find something else, and leave a bad review on glassdoor for them. The job market is waaaaaaay too much in demand for this stuff for people to be doing stupid socially lame things to alienate developers and engineers but it happens anyways because people don't have the nuts to back out. Just do it quietly without making a huge uproar about it, and make sure you have something lined up ahead. Chances are that this will happen to you but your reaction to it will determine whether you maintain passion for your career or end up finding something else to do with your life.

Learn how to cook. Make friends with people who do that professionally, like on a gastro chef level. Fun friends to have and it's just a great skill that will save you a ton of money in the long run from not going out to eat.

The reason for that is that the menu item you're seeing isn't a feature of the file manager, it's a feature of the terminal emulator itself hooking into the file manager. You can see how it works here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/console/-/tree/main/nautilus If you uninstall GNOME Console, you'll see the menu item disappear.

Any terminal emulator developer can hook into the Nautilus API if they wish to do so. This approach is no different from the Windows approach, actually.

As very few developers care enough to integrate with Nautilus, I've written a shell script that launches my terminal of choice, moved /usr/bin/gnome-terminal to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.old and placed the script in the original place with execute permissions. It's far from perfect, but it's easier than learning the Nautilus API and submitting a pull request.
Sounds like you have the means to just pack up and do some serious travel. serious travel.
The current shareholders, who vote on this, think that the current value is higher than what is being offered to them to sell. Those are the ones that Elon has to convince with his higher offer.

Before entering the pro A/V industry I used to equate BNC with "ewww, old as dirt."

I then came to love the simplicity and reliability of SDI. Nowadays I work in uncompressed ST2110, and while there are many advantages of network based video and audio, paying $1,000 for a QSFP to handle just a few streams is a hard pill to swallow!
> Life is boring - if you're in charge of work, it can be fulfilling.

Life is quite exciting with the right social group. Work is inevitably drudging away while an employer takes 98% of your output for themselves and gives you table scraps in return.

This is coming from somebody who turned his hobbies + passion into his work, and then narrowly avoided hardcore burnout after he realized the industry sucked and that the only things that matter to it are that which can be sacrificed at the altar of naked capitalism. That it is filled with a million idiots that all think they're right and are supervised by slovenly magpies that pour gas on whatever fire gets them the most KPI points with their superiors.
Nah. There is one side. Two collectives competing over influence and sovereignty. The West, advocating for everyone has their lines and we're good, and Russia now going imperialist/expansionist.

NAP. Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.

Russia started something. There is now something. Failure to respond and restore the equilibrium is tacit acceptance of Russia setting terms, which sets a precedent.

It's pretty clear.
The target market for this is people who don't want to have to manage a Linux machine learning environment. If you want to least expensive access to GPU compute, you should design a workstation, purchase all of the parts yourself on newegg or amazon, personally take the risk of a part failing, and fully support yourself. That is probably the least expensive way to get a computer in 2022.

This is definitely targeted to people who place a premium on their own time and effort.
Money is nonsense - family is the most valuable thing in life
I've been doing a project that involves making cyberphysical objects "three-sided cards" and constellations of those cards... This one takes up at least 1/3 of the wall of my office:

https://gen5.info/$/XQ*42RXF-TLY:$B.8/

I am getting pulled into making "constellations" that tell a story or describe some domain (say games related to Killer 7, weapons used by Ukraine and Russia, characters that Tara Strong voiced, ...) I can put a bunch up on the wall in front of a network made of ribbons (need to start cutting the cards because it really doesn't look good with uniform cards) but I want to make the "cyber" end better.

Simultaneously I want to give people a direct manipulation experience like touching physical objects but I want to escape the limitations of the physical world. That has me thinking about WebGL, ARKit, and similar things... And the question of how you make a graph visualization system based on 2022 graphics tech is on my mind -- seems if you really maxed out the GPU you could visualize big graphs.
And you don't find it strange that you trust US media outlets more than you trust Peng Shuai herself?

Be money smart.

Start putting away money now in to savings and/or index funds. Make it automatic if possible. Compound interest is a hell of a thing, and starting now can make a huge difference. At the very least, make sure you've got money set aside as an emergency fund.

Be disciplined about what you spend your money on. Don't buy things you can't afford. Think hard about if the thing you want to buy is a a "want" or a "need". (I.e. I want a new phone all the time, but if I'm honest with myself, I don't need one. So I don't buy one). You may need a car, but you likely don't need a brand new one when you can get one second hand for significantly cheaper, even ones just a few years old.

Always pay your credit card bill every single month.

Just being disciplined with money doesn't necessarily mean missing out on stuff in life, but it will mean way less stress, and being able to comfortably know if you can actually afford something.
I think my main issue is that GNOME's search is dog slow. If Nautilus had the speed of FZF I don't think you would miss it but I'm open to being wrong. You would just type pusrmovi<enter> to jump to the folder or just viind<enter> to go to the file.
I was about to agree but GP is actually not far off.

Smart TVs have been caught listening to people before. Cell phones absolutely do. Home automation is generally voice controlled, etc.

I feel bad for individuals with paranoid schizophrenia. Give it another 10 years and there really will be invisible cameras and microphones everywhere recording you!
$XXXX specifically isn't likely for that era, at least anytime soon. If it's something rare or unique like the Thinkpad 701 with its butterfly keyboard, then it easily can go into hundreds. If they're normal machines in working order, then I wouldn't expect a ton, but many people want them for retro gaming or some other reason like the author does. Even a non-working machine has parts some people might want. I have a couple of working, but worse for wear machines with sentimental value that I've been trying keep an eye out for non-working counterparts to salvage and for spare parts. One of them is actually a Thinkpad 240 that's close to the 240x author got.
