Because it's a bad idea to do so. If Russia were to commit true genocide -- kill 40 million people in Ukraine by levelling the country -- it would serve no military purpose. On the other hand:

- Putin would go down in history as worse than Hitler

- Thousands of people -- including, for example, Russians with relatives in Ukraine -- would want to kill Putin. Russia would have a terrorist and fifth column problem unprecedented in the history of the world.

- Russia would go from "outcast" to "North Korea level outcast." China and India would almost certainly turn against it

- It just might be far enough to draw NATO / EU into the war. That's a war Russia is guaranteed to lose. If nukes fly, everyone loses. If they don't, Russia loses.

... and so on.

How would it advance Russia's interests? The above far outweighs the benefits (oil, Crimea, and a bit of a buffer zone).
you are right, but Hyber automatically has a bit of visual enhancements without needing to configure much and I believe that's the angle, the author is trying to bring to front-end developers who work visually a lot.

Yes and no. For instance - there's generally a big gap between "go to school with the goal of being an educator", and being a preschool teacher. At least in the U.S., the latter tends to offer far lower status, pay, job security, etc. than being (say) a 7th grade teacher.

Between the low desirability, high turnover, and "we must fill the opening" nature of most bottom-end, female-dominated jobs, I'd guess that the anti-male discrimination is a fairly weak barrier to men who really want those jobs. Apply a bunch of time, especially when unemployment is low, and it's pretty likely that you'll be hired because they had no acceptable alternative. Or (say) a preschool wanted to have one male teacher, to be a social role model for little boys. Or (I have seen this done) a bookkeeping dept. wanted a couple males, to dial down the social drama that they experienced with a all-female clerkforce.

And for those concerned less about individual rights (to get the job one really wants, etc.) than about the larger-scale social downsides of discrimination, making it more difficult for men to obtain some types of low-status, low-pay jobs is a "pretty weak poison".
Our personalities have become commodities.
That's a really cynical way to see relationships, and I hope it's not becoming more popular. It reminds me of Mean Girls.

I have to buy a new thermostat for our house heat, or make a diy thermostat as a small project.

I’m having a hard time thinking of a more minimalist design than the Honeywell round thermostat. It doesn’t need a battery, or a processor, or anything other than a spring some fluid and a dial. The dial tells you both the current temp and your setting. I have to justify adding technology to improve it in some way but it just appears to add more problems.

>on top of all the things to be depressed about the real one. It's simultaneously indulgent and self defeating.

That's one take. When I got into comics as a young adult, it wasnt depressing, indulgent, or defeating. It was a window look at some of the darker aspects of reality and explore and form opinions on them. I could have conversations with friends about the totalitarian state depicted in V for Vendetta or zero-sum politics and fascism in transmetropolitan.

It let me experience exaggerated possible worlds that I would not want to live in and that I was sheltered from in real life. It helped me form ideals and ideas about what I don't want in life.

Probably the only comic that I had a negative impact on me that I wasn't over able to overcome reframe as a cautionary tale was cerebus the aardvark. It certainly colored the world view of several of my friends, sending some into levels of mild depression. It contained some seriously unsettling takes on life, relationships, and women that were hard to shake, and I'm still not sure I have 15 years later.

Arresting lawmakers is de-stabilising. Very different from what's going on in China.
I would say otherwise. Some basic things that come to mind
- db snapshots that works
- S3
- Cloud Trail - know who and when access a server and what commands they enter in their SSH session.
- Session Manager - being able to control permissions in a single place.
- S3 + Athena + QuickSight - easy reporting at scale
- the list goes on and on

As soon as you have decent amount of data which you care about AWS became dirt cheap compared to on-perm when user right. Look at the list above and imagine how much effort you would have to put on an ongoing basis to support this.

Oh boy. One of these articles. From the title I was expecting "the new homophobia" to refer to the striking parallels between 20th-century homophobic propaganda and modern-day transphobic "concerns", but no, I was not to be so lucky. Anyways, here's a rundown of some of the worst parts of it.

> Activists who favor medical intervention often ask these parents a morbid question: "Would you rather have a trans daughter or a dead son?" But the real question should be, "Would you rather have a trans daughter or an effeminate gay son?"

This is a question we know the answer to, though, based on how many trans people have stories of how their parents asked them "why couldn't you just be gay?" Plus, the point of the original question is that parents don't get to choose whether they have a trans kid or not, they only have the choice between supporting their child and neglecting them.

> Speaking recently about these issues with a LGBT mental health specialist—one among many who have serious concerns about the hastiness of medical transition for youth in the U.S.

There are lots of people with "concerns" about medical transition being given out hastily without proper assessment, but never any evidence that such a thing is happening. I see lots of complaints about how difficult and time-consuming it is to get hormone therapy, including drugs that can be gotten in one appointment for non-gender-related purposes. As for wait times for appointments, I found this nice little tidbit on the UK's Gender Identity Clinic website: "We are currently offering first appointment to people who were referred in: December 2017" [ https://gic.nhs.uk/appointments/waiting-times/ ]

> activists who push a regressive, anti-liberal agenda that reifies gender stereotypes

This is just a lie. A blatant, obvious lie. Any statement like this immediately discredits the one making it. The transgender community is inherently accepting of all gender expressions and experiences. I'm kind of having trouble expressing how wrong this is. There was a post a little while back that went through some LGBT-accepting spaces about a man who started growing out his hair, taking hormones, growing breasts, eventually looking to any stranger like a fully gender-conforming woman, who still confidently saw himself as a man. The comments were nothing but respect and acceptance (and awe at his "chad energy"). That's what the community is like.
That's funny, because I've never seen a question like this answered, except with handwaving about how the poster can't say more, or they don't want to get distracted with specifics, or a handful of other reasons the original claim can't be backed up.
You have to remember the target audience. When they first launched, their app was extremely unintuitive, to the point that it was very regular for someone to show their friends some feature they had just discovered. But that was part of what made it fun: Snap straddles the space between social media and toy in a pretty aggressive way.

And their primary audience of teenagers to young adults eats that up. Hell, it being baffling to "old people" was half the appeal.
There's no point being angry here, anger won't solve this mess or give you "unlimited internet". I'm just relaying the reality. There's _no definition_ of "unlimited internet" that's enforceable by law. The closest you have is a DIA circuit which is as close as you'll get to having an ethernet cable directly connected into an ISP router to your house. Other than that, "unlimited internet" doesn't mean anything. A residential ISP will do some best effort packet routing, and a business-grade non-DIA ISP package will give you prioritized packets and usually an SLA on your connection. Some connections may give you a data cap per month while others don't, but even without a data cap there's no guarantee that your packets will be prioritized or even not dropped due to congestion. The only industry standard that guides QoS and bandwidth metering is the standards that networking equipment vendors come up with in their implementations and that's the only thing offering a semblance of repeatability to this industry.

IMO the solution has to come from the FTC. The US has neglected to regulate telecoms in the name of innovation for a long time, but now so much of everyday life happens atop telecom companies that I think it's imperative they regulate properly. This includes term sheets showing exactly what internet service is being offered and maybe just doing away with the term "unlimited internet" altogether.
Asheville NC seems to be turning into a "work remote" tech hub. I moved here during the pandemic and have met many tech workers just walking around my neighborhood.

Film is competing against loads of free content and the industry is thrashing to avoid accepting the obvious fate: it is no longer economically rational to produce films with budgets in the hundreds of millions.

Jobs will be lost, just like happened with farriers and switchboard operators. Your income will disappear regardless: the demand for stunts is elastic and the supply is increasingly competitive. Blaming pirates is being unable to see the forest for the trees.

Guardian largely doesn't publish false news as such but is incredibly selective about the events it chooses to write about.
I like up next/ watch now on Apple TV

However it is irritating that shows I’ve purchased from the iTunes Store occasionally lose their blessed status§ and I can neither put them in up next nor even have the show’s page open to the episode I last watched. Unless I binge the whole show in one sitting I’m gonna be scrolling horizontally past a lot of episodes every time I sit down to watch.

§ my hypothesis is that it is when the package I bought them in gets taken off iTunes (e.g. I got the complete Downton Abbey, but for a few weeks they were doing a every episode and the movie package and you couldn’t buy just all the seasons together, that one even lost its blessed status while I was watching the show, which was a mystifying experience)
I’m a big fan of Snapchat. I use it as a messaging app to keep up with a handful of close friends (edit: I am a late-20s male, for context).

I have Instagram, TikTok, and the rest, but Snap is truly and unironically my favorite social media platform out there - bar none.

The “disappearing-as-default” messaging, filters, snap map make it a fun, casual messaging app.

The lack of public profiles, of “likes”, of “discoverability” makes the app feel genuine. Few people are trying to be “Snapchat influencers.”

It’s just nice (esp. in comparison to Meta’s platforms) and I wish more people felt that way.
I have been rebuilding my DVD collection through thrift stores. It’s incredibly cheap to do so now, and pretty fun to see what you find.

I use the browser's dev console to try out short JS snippets or for simple on-page scraping. (for longer JS as a scratchpad I use https://runjs.app).

The browser's dev console gives you access to the current page's DOM, plus anything you can do in JS.

So stuff like `document.querySelectorAll(".foo")` works. Also `fetch()` works within the page's context.

Apart from that, what are some other useful things one can do in the dev console?
This is a key point of difference between the contemporary discourse and what preceded it. These labels were never seen as meant to capture a whole person, until around the post-2014 trans acceptance boom
How is SRP materially better than WebAuthn, which is intended to be able to be used as a single factor authentication mechanism? (Unlike U2F)

If SRP depends on a user to choose a password or to enter it only on the correct website, then it will be substantially less secure than WebAuthn, because users pick bad passwords and phishing can be very effective. WebAuthn sidesteps both of these issues entirely.

Shallow, dumb hot take. I was given stern looks as a kid going into hobby stores as a kid, too. The only comics I got to readily touch was at a supermarket, and even there I'd get chastised by adults from time to time if I got too kid-like. Turns out stores don't like kids destroying merchandise.

Find a store that is more friendly to your kid, or just ignore the silly store person and teach your kid to respect items and the value of some things and let them look around. There is plenty of comics - a massive amount, really - aimed at kids. My son has read a bunch of them, far more than when I was his age.
> Also to imply that the Linux app stores are at all better than the Windows one is a bit disingenuous. About 50% of the time that I have attempted to use them, I ended up with a broken and completely unusable installation of the program.

The Windows store doesn't contain most of the software you want because they limited what license you could use, what technology you could use to build with, and want a huge cut leading to developers opting out.

Meanwhile major distros repos contain almost all the software you are liable to want with the rest easily added by configuring additional sources so you can use the same highly functional interface to manage all your software gui or cli. The experience you describe where half of installations resulted in broken software is highly suspect. Such tech has worked extremely well for decades. Problems outside of self inflicted wounds like manually screwing with the same set of files managed by your package managers or trying to install packages not built for your distro are rare. Your problems are virtually certainly the result of highly interesting choices which is like saying cars don't work because the last time you drove backwards on the interstate you kept crashing.

Logs are in /var/log like /var/log/apt not in a locked filing cabinet in a disused lavoratory with a sign "beware the leopard" not sure why you would NEED a terminal for this task although its certainly handy. Instead you could read all the messages in your gui client and stop doing whatever its is you are trying to break your system.

> They arrive home, plug the car in, and walk off. It doesn't matter how long the charge takes because the user isn't involved.

But I am sorry, when you buy a car...you buy the whole car not 14 hours/day of said car. A day is made of 24 hours, and a week is made of 168 hours.

It's only acceptable to have that suboptimal product when the price is also lesser than a gasoline equivalent car.

An handicapped product should compensate its handicap with a lower price, at an equal price point doesn't make sense, EVs are not even at the same price point, they are much more costly.

So you pay more for less.
It appreciate the idea to make language more precise where possible.

However, terms like motherboard and whitelisting are just a few in the universe of complicated (yet gender neutral) terms like GPU, CPU, DDR, parity, firewall, IP6, etc.

Of course, that is not a reason to not improve the language where one can, but I don't know if it will help that much in CS.

> Absolute free speech is desired

Is it?

Curtailing the ‘freedom’ to be as offensive as one wants, consequences be dammed, is not something everyone agrees with.

Even the US places limits on free speech for these reasons.
If every human being alive has had a slavemaster ancestor, all the more reason to not care about the use of the word in a completely unrelated context involving hard drives or branches of information.
If I know what I want to watch, the Netflix UI is perfect. Every other service's UI makes it surprisingly difficult to find and watch the next episode of "thing I've been watching every night for the past few weeks". Also the other services make it harder to pause/resume/fast-forward, let alone achieve "advanced" things like toggling subtitles.

Difficult to do because when you want to do something like this there are a lot of tools that can be used to cover up for the behavior. There was a paper trail of “evidence” created that would give them a degree of protection. This particular company was also acquired by a very large corporation shortly after & odds of winning a lawsuit against them are basically 0.

This wasn’t the only thing they did either. They had to sell the company on not particularly favorable terms so they also invented a lot of reasons to get rid of people just before their stock options vested. Basically everyone but the 5 people at the top got fucked.

> they're trying to destroy any notion of gender

That would be nice, but you have it backwards. In most cases the an attempt to make gender more central and essential, rather than less, by decoupling it from biology.

Which is why in some parts of the country children are sometimes being told that if they like boy sterotyped activities like tree climbing or boy stereotyped attire that you are a boy, rather than saying any activity or attire is available to anyone.

Rather than erasing gender it's power as a tool for enforced conformity is amplified by eliminating any requirement for agreement with a person's biological properties.

To exaggerate in order to make the point, it's as if we've gone from: "It's a womans' job to do the dishes" to "Anyone can do the dishes." to "The person doing the dishes is a woman, by definition."-- and the middle state's inclusiveness is increasingly seen as hateful because it denies people the ability to identify as a gender other than the one suggested by their biology through the performance of stereotyped behavior.

Erasure of "mothers" seems contrary to the trend at first blush, but it's made more clear when you see the suggested replacements like "birthing person" or "breeder"-- in this world view "mother" is a biological function, so it must be decoupled from gender so that the strongest possible gender sterotypes can be imposed on people regardless of their biological abilities.
