Potentially but it’s interesting to consider whether China would honor it. Thinking about it practically I don’t know what benefit they’d get from helping Russia in a full fledged war. Seems unlikely Russia would win and in the worst case - if nukes start flying - all the better to not be involved.
I would argue that most corporate marketing to consumers meets each and every one of those criteria.
Finland and Sweden don't depend on Russian energies either.
I recently moved from an org where most people (90%+)used their camera for meetings to an org where 99% of meetings are using an audio teleconf system.

As a new joiner I’ve found it much harder to build relationships over audio only, especially with peers who are remote. This may just be a personal flaw that I have.

I have definitely noticed that the audio calls are more prone to people interrupting and talking over each other. This is often eliminated on video calls because you can see visual cues that someone would like to speak, or that someone is thinking about the question prior to responding. Video is a much higher bandwidth medium for collaboration, imo.

Personally I’d prefer meetings to be video first.

Whenever we learn more about the connections between GR and the rest of physics, the early corrections are likely to appear as "GR+new stuff" or "QM+new stuff". Both theories have enough predictive power that we'll hang on to them as effective theories for the rest of humanity's existence.

That said, the mathematical fundamentals of GR do not directly incorporate notions of the uncertainty principle. That fact alone, I believe, means that GR is an incomplete description of space/time/physics.
You’ve just described trees. And forestry in general, except with a different endpoint for the felled trees. This has been proposed many times for as long as I can remember, but the bottom line is the same as other sequestration methods: someone has to pay for it and no one is willing to.

If I propose putting an unobstructed streaming camera in every room of every house, that would also solve a lot of problems. That does not mean people who oppose my solution need to come up with alternatives. They can simply oppose cameras in every room due to the problems of cameras in every room.

JSON Lines would probably beat that out: https://jsonlines.org/

I phrase that carefully. "Better"? "Worse"? Very subjective. But in the current environment, "likely to beat out CSV"? Oh, most definitely yes.

A solid upside is a single encoding story for JSON. CSV is a mess and can't be un-messed now. Size bloat from endless repetition of the object keys is a significant disadvantage, though.
The least labor intensive option for biological carbon capture are probably algae farms. But to make a dent in our emissions you'd need a mind boggling area dedicated to them.
> Russia has shown with Ukraine that complying with Russia's threats is not a guarantee that the future will be consequence-free.

Exactly this. By attacking Ukraine, Russia proved to the world that there is no point complying with Russian geopolitical demands. If Ukraine somehow became a NATO member years ago (not saying that that would have happened, but talking hypothetically) Ukraine would never have been attacked. So, the only rational thing for Finland and Sweden to do is to ignore Russia and join NATO.
To clarify, the sexting part of the proposal[0] is only there to modernize. Loosely translated:

>For example, sexting is no longer punishable if this happens with consent. This is seen as sexual experimentation behavior among youth.

It has nothing to do with scanning private information. It only legalizes what would realistically never appear in court except for twisted revenge cases most of the Dutch shake their heads at (girl sends boyfriend nudes under mutual consent, they break up, now ex-boyfriend tries to accuse her of breaking the law which is technically true, but absurd).

> why isn’t Python as fast as modern JS implementations, for example?

Because the project has explicitly targeted implementation simplicity, largely successfully, for almost 30 years. The internals are a joy to work on, and unsurprisingly the CPython Git repository has 4x as many contributors as v8, despite CPython contribution being largely voluntary and v8 contribution being largely commercial.

Even if performance were an explicit goal, it's important to remember v8 required absolutely massive funding and top tier engineering support to make it happen at all. The most comparable equivalent in the Python world, PyPy, was the product of an extremely dedicated group of mostly doctoral researchers working against incredible odds. V8 only has 2x as many contributors as PyPy. I hope by now you are recognizing a theme: the reason the language is so successful is also the reason we are here complaining about it.

There have been teams in at least Google and Dropbox who proposed major upheavals of the interpreter in the past. Both failed in large part due to the complexity of their proposals compared to the performance gains on offer

Here's a hypothetical:

> even if the scammers get prosecuted--possibly even go to jail--you're 99% likely never getting your money back

The point of prosecuting scammers is not restorative justice[0], but instead punative. You want the penalty for scamming people to be high enough that even the scammers that don't get caught move onto a different grift.

Whether or not punative justice works is very context-sensitive. It requires the crime itself to be something done because it makes money - opportunistic crimes or crimes of passion will not be deterred by high punishments[1]. However, I absolutely do buy the idea that scammers are highly-calculating thieves that can be deterred in this way. They operate highly organized criminal enterprises with their own internal and external security concerns, and respond highly to perceived risk of prosecution[2]. This is why they like to target old people, the marks are easier to scam and less likely to admit being scammed.

That's not to say that we should fall back upon the "personal responsibility" angle, either. It's easy enough to say that it only happens to the financially illiterate, or the elderly, or what have you. This is wrong; there are plenty of scammers out there just waiting to push whatever button you have that will make you send them money. The problem with pushing "personal responsibility" as an angle is that it's a victim-blaming narrative, and one that makes it easy to fancy yourself invulnerable. "I can't get scammed, because I took personal responsibility."

DO NOT DO THIS.

You will laugh at the people who bought into FOMOCoin or sent thousands of dollars to a refund scammer... only to click on, say, a fake FedEx tracking link you got e-mailed and wind up getting hit with some 0day malware that drains your bank account or encrypts your files in seconds. Personal responsibility will not save you from your own sense of invulnerability, because there is no level of responsibility one can take that will ensure that you never, ever get scammed. You can only ever make yourself a less desirable mark.

honest question, what necessitated Rust's choice of using such a different module system? Every other modern language seems to roughly map directory to module (go/python etc), or explicitly declare a folder as a module (java). C/C++ is the outlier, effectively using file as a module.

It kind of depends on what your goal is here.

The school doesn't have that, but in california "loitering near a school" is illegal and you can go to jail. Even so, how you act in the situation determines the outcome. You have several options, including arguing with the school staff (guaranteed police visit), arguing with the police (likely will make the police less likely to sympathize even if you're not doing something illegal), behaving suspiciously (IE, not making eye contact, not following direct orders from cops, slumping, wearing clothes that cover your face, being a member of a minority that cops believe are prone to being criminal) will get you beaten up, arrested, sent to jail, etc.

How you act in public situations makes all the difference. For example, you could set up in front of the school with a protest sign that says ("Fund police and schools"), you're not going to get the police called on you.

Well in the run up to the Russian invasion Ukraine wasn’t provoking Russia, and Russia officials continually denied it had plans to invade until oh wait they’d had plans for a super long time. I’m not sure about Ukraine complying with Russia orders, but they weren’t really antagonizing them other than by existing and not being completely subservient like Belarus. So yeah after top Russian officials spent so much time lying about the plans and showing they had no sincere intention to negotiate, it’s no wonder Finland and Sweden have decided not to trust Russia.

Hi HN,

Lots of people are willing to share there visual work for others to use and remix. This is great! There are thousands of stencils and component libraries out there. There is a problem though. You share your work in a closed ecosystem, the ecosystem of the design software you use. Sketch, Figma, one of the many Adobe's, OmniGraffle, you name it.

To address this problem I started the SVG Stencils Project. SVG Stencils is a
community driven project with the ambition to be an ecosystem for every designer, no mather what software or platform you use. As long as you can drag
an SVG-file from your browser into your canvas you're good to go.

The core part of SVG Stencils is the webapp hosted on GitHub. The SVG-components listed here can be dragged directly from your browser into your canvas.

In a nutshell:

- SVG Stencils are free for personal and commercial use
- SVG Stencils and all its content will stay forever free and open source
- Everyone can contribute by creating and submitting new stencils
- Inkscape Extension for creating and publishing stencils
- Good documentation

Hope you like it and I'm very excited to hear what you think off SVG Stencils.

PS. If your from New Zealand, sorry for the world map without NZ. I'll replace this one ASAP.
The obvious problem here being that there is a very, very fine line to tread where software actually matters.

If you're not as well placed as the incumbents at the core product (salon, sure), software will not save you.

If you're better placed than the incumbents at the core product, software doesn't matter.

If you're (roughly) equally placed as the incumbents at the core product, software can help you, but it will likely take a while to realize any competitive advantage.

And, I say placed, because there are a lot of factors at play. There's the quality of the service/product (itself a huge set of variables), pricing, location, and availability, to name a few. None of those will custom software directly help you with.

Be careful mixing friendship with business. I have worked on a lot of different projects with friends which ended the friendship.

At first, it feels natural to loop in people who are both trusted and technically skilled. Plus, talented people tend to enjoy being friends with one another.

It will feel serendipitous when - one day - you need an experienced React engineer and your roommate happens to love React.

If you care about being friends in 5 years, your optimal path is to ask your friend “who else do you know that may be interested in this role” and not “want to work on this with me?”

> and then nothing bad would happen.

Source? If you have ever been a target of the police/legal/judicial system, there is rarely a case where the individual has nothing bad happen. The government actors’ impetus is to make sure they are not found at fault, not to ensure that the individual is actually guilty or innocent. At a minimum, the individual will lose many hours and go through a lot of stress.

See any and all police misconduct cases in the US, as well as border patrol or really any other dealings with a government agent. The only protection is to be able to afford highly connected lawyers or be connected yourself.

What is a few clickthroughs for the owner of a home box or regular co box can be weeks for teams or even a deal breaker in critical envs that are locked down. The money people know where the money comes from when making strategic decisions of what to make easy vs hard.

They made docker hard for regulated environments while making their broken competitor built-in and then marketed theirs as a replacement. This incurs all sorts of costs in schedule + $$$ + reliability where teams are pushed to figuring out if podman works in their case ("why wouldn't it?") + when not, start over with an unnecessarily complicated round of change management steps for enabling docker from centos7.

RHEL/IBM are allowed to use their trusted OS position to be anti-competitive and overall non-neutral for above-OS layers, and to the clear harm of customer. But I am also allowed to say we shouldn't trust & tolerate such a provider for vendor-neutral infra in regulated environments. Secure infra is important and podman is pushing docker on important areas here, so it's been disappointing to see the one-step-forward two-steps-back.
