Well, plenty of potential things. In strictly defence terms, they buy weaponry from US and Germany. Hungarian air force operates Swedish Gripen fighters and thus most likely relies on Sweden at least for spare parts (which military jets need lots of) so here's another pressure point. They are big beneficiaries of EU funding (not a NATO thing but this is all intertwined) and already at odds with EU rules, which could push them towards not getting the funding - there are plenty of reasons to implement that already, just lacking political will right now. They can find themselves sidelined for new EU spending, political nominations, and so on.

The question would of course be if EU/NATO want to do that. It's part of the usual political horse-trading game.

For sure, in the extreme scenario if US/EU/main partners really wanted Finland and Sweden to join and Hungary vetoed, it could be made to pay an unaffordable price.
The EHT reveals the black hole shadow of about 50 micro-arcseconds [1], while JWST has resolution of about 0.1 arcsec [2], thus resolution of JWST is more than 2000 worse.

It is physically impossible (regardless of the exposure time) for JWST to resolve Sgr A*.

This is what Soros himself said in an interview in New York Times, in 1992:

"Our total position by Black Wednesday had to be worth almost $10 billion. We planned to sell more than that. In fact, when Norman Lamont said just before the devaluation that he would borrow nearly $15 billion to defend sterling, we were amused because that was about how much we wanted to sell."

It seems to prove both collusion and that $10 billion was a lot of money for pound sterling at the time.
I use a HomeKit outlet + Shortcuts + automations on iOS to stop charging. Once my battery hits 81%, if I'm charging at home it automatically turns the outlet off. Otherwise I just have a notification to unplug it (like at work).

My understanding is that a proxy war requires at least one of the belligerents to be acting through a proxy, not necessarily both. For example, here is a wiki page [0] about the Iran-Israel proxy conflict/war, which is fought between Israeli and Palestinian combatants.

Either way, this is a just a matter of how you choose to define the term.

The important point that I'm trying to make is that, while Ukraine is of course fighting for its own sake (not trying to claim here they are only a puppet or something - as is Palestine in the other example), it's also clear that NATO is massively involved in the conflict, with its own aims for the war which may or may not be entirely aligned with Ukraine's (or Ukrainians') best interests.

They don't claim to be fully backed.
Agreed it's crucial to listen to your customers.

OTOH, if Ford had asked people what they wanted, they'd have said "a faster horse". And there's risk of taking the stated needs of your most vocal customers as representative of the whole.

As with everything, there are tradeoffs / counterexamples, and knowing which applies when is more art than science, and usually involves some luck.
Yes we did. Otherwise we wouldn't have a concept of "non-accredited investors".
there were several very well funded attempts in overturning the result using the legal system, in the same way Trump did

and using the media in exactly the same way Trump did

the phrases were different ("Russian interference", "non-binding referendum", "people didn't understand what they were voting for"), but the intended outcome was the same: overturning a legitimate result conducted fairly

and this went on for years

the only difference is the people trying to overturn the referendum result were considered "the good guys", so it's acceptable

whereas for Trump, it's unacceptable because he's the bad guy
> pan-EU

This would mean less democracy. As much as possible should be decided decentralized at a local level. I know where my mayor lives. He can't act against the interest of his own people for too long without some serious consequences. A pan-EU organization can.
> That is sort of funny: RT and Facebook considered similar entities

Well... If nothing else, both are huge spreaders of Russian propaganda. But yeah, you're right, it is funny: Maybe both should be banned in the West.
Very interesting. The previously-released M87 image had just a single "shadow", but this one (of Sag A*) has multiple bright "lumps". Maybe it's in the linked papers which I haven't gotten to yet, but why the difference? Is it due to the observation method or does it reflect a real difference? Or both?
Never seen combat and when trying to do a dogfight with a F16 lost. This was promptly followed by a series of articles from US defense industry stating that nowadays dogfights don't happen anymore, contrarily to what we are seeing in Ukraine, plus arguments that the fight was not fair.

The reality is that the fight was not fair for the F16 that was loaded with two external fuel tanks, probably to make sure there was no way it could win.

The latest arguments are the F35 did not have yet all the latest software, but for me it's telling the fight was not re-staged again...
Croatia has lost 9.25% of its population since 2011.
In my experience, some people in the US/Canada struggle to understand a British accent and this might be one reason to dub it into another accent.

My brother tried to order an apple pie fritter in Canada and the woman didn't understand what he was asking for. When he proncounced it fridder, she did :-) I understood both ways perfectly well but hey!
Yes. In my example it's not about what the NFT points to, but who signed/minted the NFT itself. That's why I used a celebrity signature as an example.

NFTs are worth nothing to me, but so are celebrity signatures. That doesn't mean they are generally worthless b/c people collect all sorts of stuff.
I think swimlanes is a feature that benefits everybody, not just developers. At a most basic level, swimlanes by assignee would be crucial for a family board (as opposed to coloured cards by assignee, since colours could be used for category of task, etc.).

So I used Trello at home, and Jira at work. I loved how fast Trello was (despite being Electron); it’s still probably the fastest Electron/web app.

But the lack of swimlanes pushed me to Favro, which was too slow to enjoy using. When Atlassian bought Trello I figured that swimlanes would never arrive, since they wouldn’t want to eat into Jira features and market share (which i disagree with, but I digress).

As a result I use Trello casually and for simple projects with my wife, but didn’t go all-in on it. I’ll give this Power Up a try though!
They have no non-function compute though, which is arguably AWS’s core feature.
Tether is 0.995 cents. Bet you it will go back up.

And I don't even think Tether is a particularly good idea/stablecoin, something like Dai is much more trusted, has an incentive scheme that makes sense (ie. not Terra/Luna) and doesn't rely on a central authority
OK, but is that the kind of character you think people should look up to and be inspired by? He’s not a professional comedian; he’s a billionaire businessman with a tremendous amount of power to inspire people to do things. Do we want people to be inspired to do great things or terrible things?

With great power comes great responsibility.
Sometimes physicists like the theories--especially the battle-tested ones--proven wrong so that those theories needs to be refined or reevaluated. Something related to the joy of problem solving.
Its definitely a complicated and messy idea. Many Americans would essentially only consider a complete change of constitution as a "new government", meanwhile in certain language in parliamentary structures there is a common phrase of "creating a new government" when an election takes place. Neither idea is really wrong, they're just coming from different perspectives.

If you're using the same kind of terminology, the federal US has had probably 117 governments, as this is the 117th Congress. However, we as Americans don't necessarily consider this a "new government", in that many of the institutions aren't radically different. We still have the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services, we still have the FBI, we still have the CIA, we still have the Social Security Administration, we still have the NTSB, we still have the FAA, etc. For Americans, the institutions are a massive part of the identity of "the Federal government", and unless all the institutions change its pretty much seen as a continuous government.

Its definitely a messy turn of phrase which means different things in different contexts. Either way, while Italy has had 67 cabinets/governments, I imagine a lot of institutions have stayed the same. The ability for abuse is based in the institutions, the will to abuse is often with the politicians. So its not like a "new government" woudl somehow wipe clean all the record collections and ability for the State to act on it, you just have different people telling people to pull the levers a little different every few years.
The US is indeed rotting. “Taking care of everyone” might come in at number 42 on the list of reasons why.
Taking umbrage on behalf of others, in a matter that should be personal choice, is equally questionable.

Half of this thread believes we should protect people from themselves.

The other half believes people should have the freedom to screw themselves over.

Not sure there's much ground for compromise, given the contradictory nature of those positions.
Oh that happened in 2009 as well, tons of startups had their money parked in an asset with a special name, where it was tied to real estate, so the startups' treasury could appreciate without being spent. Because real estate never goes down, you see. It was so safe.

Safety is dangerous.

$WORK’s corporate values, etc are distilled into an “OS”. It’s been that way since it was a startup, but I still find calling it an “OS” weird.
Then from whom is the alliance defending themselves, if not from those not into the alliance?

For example, a defense alliance that included all nations, would defend against aliens.

I repeat, a defense alliance must be, by definition, protecting the members from external threats. I don't think it's a very difficult concept to grasp.
> I'd imagine the large majority of employees are working on their existing products

Judging how Google Images and Google Maps have evolved over the years, I kinda wish they'd stop.
> Contrast that with KORG, who a few years ago created a "lab" in Berlin staffed with superstars with intention of creating ground-breaking music tech (https://youtu.be/Y0NY6iUqbEM). They clearly poured A LOT of money into that venture. Similar kind of hipster vibe, but what became of it? I don't know but it seems like Teenage Engineering is doing just fine.

That seems to have been kicked off just short of two years ago. Building hardware, especially this kind of hardware, takes a long long time to even reach the prototype stage, even longer to get it out of production. I'm sure the OP-1 Field we saw launched today has been in development since (or even before) the first OP-1 was launched, 10 years ago.

The commenter with the advice clearly mean "sales" as the department or role.

To a founder or CEO the word "revenue" is used where you're using "sales", it isn't wrong except in context but the intention was unambiguous to me.
The point I'm making is different - cars give you range and thus leverage in situations where you would otherwise be forced to buy/rent real estate close to the place you work/shop at and have to compete over it with those who buy it purely for investment purposes.

Sure, this is suboptimal and those who opt to live further away and drive everywhere lose time and money but often they're not even eligible for a mortgage within city limits, so they don't have much of a choice anyway.
I'd be very interested in seeing your markdown (pandoc filter) based solution, if you can publish it.
I've learned that creating a solution for a X problem doesn't really scale as I though. I focus more now on creating a neccessity more than trying to solve problems for people.

If those needs solve one or several problems, great, but my main focus is to create products that people need, or once they use it they adopt it because it became a neccessity. For those interested I extended my rationale here http://minid.net/2019/07/30/on-building-products-for-necessi...
> For something to be a blatant copy I'd expect when shown both samples of work, one could imagine how multiple people would have come up with the same end result based on the same inspiration, no innovation or invention of their own put into the process. When I look at the Casio products, sure, the general inspiration definitely could have come from those, but it's hard to see how one could honestly claim TE have not invested any innovation or invention of their own when coming up with their products even if inspired by Casio. "Blatant copy" is an incredible stretch.

Some of these devices are popular and more than 30 year old. And these are not Teenage Engineering's...

Of course TE copied Casiotone series and of course TE designers knows very well they exist.

Old Casiotone synth designs are absolutely unique in the history of synth industry.
Eh not entirely true. Twitter throws up a login screen if you try to view more than a couple tweets. There’s probably an argument there since an account (and PII) is required.
What happens when that dokku server goes down?
This image apparently has not captured as much attention as the image of M87, but anyway, I have a question, maybe someone with the knowledge can answer:

Between the images of M87 and Sgr A, one noticeable difference is that the image of M87 appears to have a single cluster of light "below" the blackhole whereas the image of Sgr A has three surrounding the blackhole. Is this because of the mass and spin differences between the two blackholes?
Yes, of course it can move a few basis points, like a money market fund (compare https://www.vanguard.co.uk/professional/product/fund/money-m...). It shouldn't drop by 5% occasionally!
> it sure was easier back in, say, 2012

I was on HN in 2012. It was not any easier. People said the same thing back then. “Oh, if only I had gotten started in 2005, with DHTML, when things were easier.” “I wish I was paying attention when iPhone app store came out.”

Just because you missed one boat doesn’t mean you’ll miss the next one. Keep an eye out for it.

If you like Hitchhiker's, try "Year Zero" by Rob Reid. Very similar style IMO. Also "After On" by the same author is also fantastic.

It's like people have never heard of Dai? I don't get it.
I'm not sure if Synology is different, but TP-Link trinet routers like this are cloud connected and require you to basically share your entire network. I hate the proprietary OS and Android apps too. Just give me a web interface and OpenWrt support.
Guessing that's because of Schengen.

Edit: Not Schengen, that is something more specific; but the Treaty of Accession from 2011?
Obviously not, no.

Not clear for me if I can `push` messages from my backend to client? At lest for me this is a killer feature.
I think the EU wants to go through easy to rummage through stuff like email, texts, instant messenger (all easy to go through if unencrypted). I think that's what their warning shot is. Eventually they would like to put spyware in every app/phone and keep tabs on what you're doing. It's the same in America as well. Politician and the police state have no shame when it comes to wanting to take away your privacy "to think of the children" and "what about terrorists?". There is a reason we have search warrants. It's a compromise that has worked for centuries, and I don't see why that has to go out the door with new technologies.
TL;DR. Storage used to be so expensive per gigabyte that binaries were arbitrarily categorized into distinct file system partitions. Nobody ever bothered to revisit this and merge back to just /bin.

Also, why the heck was $HOME/bin never a thing?
From same documentation but the "more CSV" link:

>In general, using FPAT to do your own CSV parsing is like having a bed with a blanket that’s not quite big enough. There’s always a corner that isn’t covered. We recommend, instead, that you use Manuel Collado’s CSVMODE library for gawk.
Yep, that seems like what happened. I went down the detergent aisle at my local grocery store today, and they had a brand-name and two different scents of store-brand powdered detergent.
There was an open tender with all of the current/next gen western suppliers participating, with analysis comparing the capabilities of Eurofighter, Rafale, F-18 E/F, Jas Gripen, F-35 and their adjunct systems including weapon systems, tactical integration and their capability for several decades.

Finnish air-force is quite professional and skilled in what it does.

As a software geek I presume they spent the money wisely and with sufficient knowledge of what they are doing. Norway has 24 F-35:s in operation so if there were obvious deficiencies those would likely have been heard over the grapevine as nordic forces are quite close.
Unfortunately no one has really attempted to compete with Google in any sufficient way. Even DuckDuckGo uses Bing results and have done some questionable things recently. One good use for decentralization that I can think of is to create a decentralized P2P search engine.
America isn’t annexing those countries.

If I go down the street in Baramulla or Bijbehara (assuming no forces around) and ask what people think about Pak getting involved or not involved in Yemen what do you think they would say? Or about what Saudi Arabia doing? More to the point, do they think BD were traitors for leaving Pak in 1971? Or Muslims can never commit war crimes against other Muslims? Afghans never occupied Kashmir?
It's not a separate issue, it's the root cause of the issue. Without Winner Takes All, there's no point in gerrymandering. Without districts, there's not even the possibility of gerrymandering.

Wanted to show off my little project which helps whith reverse engneering APIs used by various apps. It takes HTTP traffic capturewd by mitmproxy and generates an OpenAPI specification for a given REST API.

I have used it already on two apps and the results are good enough to write an alternative client or quickly automate some stuff.
I think to some extent it's always depended on who you talked to, but "hustle culture" as we know it today definitely wasn't part of the ideal of the American Dream at any point before the '90s, at the very earliest.

I am very skeptical of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images because they are not following a scientific method that results in a true representative image of their target. In my opinion astronomy is jumping the shark with these images by making this a big PR stunt.

I've looked at their methods for their earlier images and they seem to be hunting for a circle that looks like a black hole in their data. The EHT's full imaging stack has never been calibrated by looking at a known celestial body to compare images to validate their algorithms. They have calibrated their signals from results of other instruments, but their imaging algorithms change to fit their wanted results. This is my biggest problem with their approach. Anyone can modify algorithms of any arbitrary data to get an image of a glowing circle. A better method that shows a more true image would be to calibrate their imaging algorithms against a known celestial body to make sure their techniques produced comparable results from other instruments. Then they should have taken their calibrated imaging algorithms and gave it data from their target.

I'd have more confidence in the EHT if they would not change their imaging algorithms across images and give a side-by-side comparison of a known celestial body that other radio telescopes have imaged to verify their whole imaging stack.

To me this a just a big PR stunt and I'm very skeptical of their image.
Would you be willing to make a bet (with money) based on those odds?
