Yandex.Taxi, like Uber (in fact, they merged with Uber in Russia), is not really a 'taxi service', they're a marketplace.

A real taxi firm would notice and stop taking new calls to the address, but Yandex.Taxi aren't really 'dispatching' taxis, they're just advertising jobs, and letting drivers respond in real time.

In fact, I'd imagine that almost none of the orders placed are reviewed in realtime, and the only indicator that anyone would have had for this to begin with would have been a higher than average number on the dashboard for 'trips requested today' - an interesting metric, but not something that I would expect to be monitored closely in real time.

I'd imagine there's a 'no show' procedure that doesn't involve human oversight, so the first couple of drivers likely arrived at the address, waited a few minutes, then coded in the no show and moved on to different jobs.

This is also likely a metric on a dashboard which would have been the second indicator - booking cancellations/no-shows/driver rejections. But again, it's an analytics metric, rather than realtime actionable business intelligence, so it's the sort of thing that gets put into weekly reports. Maybe someone would have seen it and thought 'huh, that's a bit high', but probably didn't trigger any alarms.

Eventually a curious taxi driver would start to question why there are so many taxis outside this address, and would get out of his car and chat to his colleagues. They'd identify that they'd all been asked to the same address, and probably all cancel together and drive off.

MAYBE the third indicator here would be a call from one of the drivers to customer support, letting them know about the 'system glitch' that meant multiple taxis were waiting at the same address, but it's equally possible that the drivers just moved onto their next fare without reporting any issue.

So potentially, the first time that anyone at YT realised there was a serious issue was already 10-15 minutes after the incident occurred, by which time, it's already late. On top of that, it's unlikely that they have a way to easily and effectively cancel all bookings to a particular address.

I don't have any details on the hack itself or YT's infrastructure, so it may have been very difficult to identify and cancel the fraudulent bookings en masse (e.g.: fuzzed addresses, booking times, different users, card details not stored or different card numbers used, etc.).

By the time it got escalated to any technical teams, we're already likely 30-40 minutes into the incident itself, at which point they have to analyse what is happening, trace how it happened, and identify a fix.

With the immediate nature of taxi booking (I want a taxi NOW, not in 45 minutes), it doesn't surprise me that an incident like this can occur before any technical measures can be put in place to stop or mitigate it.
Where did you buy, how was your overall experience?
It’s not hard to get uranium. You can buy it on Amazon. It is enriched uranium that is hard to come by. I’m guessing the low cost for this project is that he found a way for low enriched uranium to go supercritical.
Apparently it's a plutonium design, which is interesting because if it's using implosion then the detonation timing and quality of the explosives is commonly thought to be critical (notably the "Fat Man" plutonium bomb was tested before being dropped on Hiroshima, whereas the uranium bomb design wasn't all-up tested before Nagasaki as it was held to be obviously reliable)
You're right that any negative trends foster radical views such as nationalism and communism. However, the arguments you mention wouldn't work in Portugal.

Portugal used to even have a negative net migration rate and suffers a labor shortage. Right now, the net migration rate is positive and low at around 0.5. That's a good trend, but there is still too much emigration of skilled Portuguese people due to weak economy and structural problems.

The problem is not immigration, the problem is that wealth is distributed very unevenly. Average salaries are low in Portugal, many people have to do with very low salaries and few people in Lisbon and Porto make a lot of money. Although it luckily went down from nearly 0.4, the Gini index in Portugal is still relatively high for a Western European country at 0.33. This wealth disparity in combination with laws and politics that favor landlords, property speculation, and building hotels instead of apartment buildings lead to the housing crisis.

Personally I take a rather maximalist definition of art. If you self-identify as an artist and do something with the sole intention of it being art, then it is art. It can be ugly, boring, derivative, uninspiring and trivial, none of that makes it any less 'art', it just makes it bad art.

Very interesting.
For a simple bomb you want Uranium, Plutonium emits too many neutrons which are likely to cause a small chain reaction while your critical mass is in the process of forming and this predetonation can then blow everything apart before a proper critical mass has been formed. A gun type design where you just smash two subcritical lumps of metal into each other is, as
I remember, nearly impossible to achieve with Plutonium you can realistically produce.

EDIT: Interestingly another commenter says that this actually was a Plutonium design.
Sequences actual use is for sharded keyspace.
For unsharded you can just continue to use auto_increment.

Maybe your application has some special logic which is complex enough to unwind.
I am just clarifying for the second statement.

People might not want to be seen publicly by everyone, which is why they allow users to choose who to show their posts to. But it’s not all that hard to exploit this by creating a popular page that lots of people end up sharing some data with. With permissive enough APIs, you instantly have a dataset.

This is more or less how the Cambridge Analytica fiasco started. And yes, this was seen as a privacy problem.
Locals have a much lower income than Italy or Switzerland. Thus they are still getting priced out of cities where they have lived a long time. In Warsaw the locals are often priced out by the returning diaspora. See Lebanon, parts of Italy, Ireland in the past, etc.

Why is the website georestricted?

When I go to www.truthsocial.com, I get "At the moment, Truth Social is available for U.S. users only". How would they know if I am a "U.S. user"? What they seem to do is block everyone who is not in the U.S.

Why that?

Trying some different IPs shows another dynamic behavior:

If the IP is from California, they show a "Let's get started!" button.

When the IP is from Ireland, they show a "Registration closed" button instead.

It's the page fault+copy latency, together with some secondary effects from the page tables being updated (seems to briefly halt all cores). The actual copying of a page of RAM is almost free compared to the time spent in all the kernel code for a page fault.

If your RAM is file backed, you end up spending lots of time in the filesystem code too - I used anonymous mappings which really helped there, and called clone() on the VM process to keep them shared.

I suspect if you use huge pages you might see lots of the impact vanish, but obviously that has other downsides.
I enjoyed this. Thank you.
we call it pool tax for simplicity, but pools are not taxed per se.

the fact is that if your pool is undisclosed, you haven't requested the necessary authorizations (what you actually pay for), which means it is not deemed safe.

Pools are taxed directly when they are considered a luxury item in a house that have all the features (there's a list) of a luxury residence.

It's already a progressive tax, it couldn't be any different here, progressivity of taxation is written in our Constitution.
You misunderstand. Banning cashless stores does not mean banning cashless transactions altogether. It means requiring cash payments to be an option.
Just go to r/PublicFreakout on reddit which frequently reaches top page and you'll find plenty of posts validating and encouraging people to punch and knock out individuals for merely words or vaccination status. People fail to even recognize that violence such as punching someone in the face can often result in murder. So I don't believe the propaganda machine is exclusive to one side or the other, but I don't see much being done to question whether violence is merely a corporation at this point to meet quotas for the privatized prison labor system and finding ways to spread it on social media directly benefits those that profits from those incarcerates that become radicalized by such media.
Not necessarily. Despite us armchair critics, it is also very easy to miss an attack vector when building your software. We find stuff after years that we can't believe we missed like a missing auth check.

Not that unusual at all when you are talking about 10s of 1000s of lines of code written by different people over the span of about 8 years.
Ask HN: Native App Development Stack
Both Google and Apple have been making strides in their composable UI framework development -- JetPack Compose and SwiftUI, with Apple seemingly rewriting already part of their apps in SwiftUI.

Also, the overall frameworks available on both platform are evolving well in the direction of Swift and Kotlin, with some being available only there.

The question I would like to get the feedback of the community in is this: given the start of the implementation of a native app right now, would you comfortably go for the SwiftUI/Swift and Jetpack Compose/Kotlin or you would look at other options like React Native or Flutter with the customer experience and developer experience as the two main KPIs to deliver on. Would also be curious on why you would choose what you would choose.

Donation to family members (above a certain sum, but any property would qualify) is taxed just like any other income.

> And the property taxes are mostly grandfathered to the price the property was last purchased at, rather than at the current market prices.

Property taxes are set at the current market prices (and if the gov thinks the value is set too low, they will come back and ask for more, retroactively).

They also want apps to check for root permissions to prevent running on rooted phones. There are also mentions of obfuscation of the binaries to increase security.
>I think you are overthinking it.

Possibly. But isn't there also a tradition [also seen in China] where, faced with high levels of state censorship, the press turns to historical or mythological figures to make allegorical comment on current events, that they can't express openly?

>In Russia there is a strong tradition of writing "either good or none" about deceased people...

We have the same concept in English. The saying is "Don't speak ill of the dead"

But the obituary does make a lot of criticisms of Gorbachev's failings, as well as praising his successes. Having read it all the way through [and it's a lengthy piece!] I'm left with the message "He did some great things and he did some stupid things. But his heart was in the right place and he was a was basically a decent human being"

Almost the last line in the obit recounts how Gorbachev choked up and left the stage in tears halfway through singing an old Russian song in memory of his dead wife. Somehow I can't but see that as a pointed contrast with Vladimir Putin who would never allow himself to be portrayed as the kind of man who cries in public.

>The UK is getting hit much harder than other countries.

I don't understand this narrative. Germany will have its gas supply from Russia literally turned off for the next three days!

>but for heating I think they're about 50% gas while in the UK it's more like 80%

I saw that Guardian article too! A further 25% of Germans heat their homes with oil, and another 14% use district heating (which will be fossil-fuel powered).

Germany imports 98% of its oil, 95% of its gas, and a large amount of its coal, with a total of 63% of all energy being imported.

On the upside, the premature end of this age of exceptionally unreasonably cheap energy will hopefully teach us all a thing or two about what sustainability really looks like.
Means they don't have to deal with laws of other countries.
Relatively often "I can't parse this" is still about the grammar, more specifically when it's not clear what words belong together. As an example from the article, "certified community behavioral health clinic" is a single token, but if you don't know the term, you won't parse it correctly. In other cases a sentence might contain technical terms as adjectives/adverbs where it's not clear which word they modify. Or possibly the content is just so confusing that you begin to doubt you parsed everything correctly...
A) is the right *business* answer the 99% of the time, assuming you have a fast routine for sorting an array but not one for computing the median directly.

Mary shouldn't care about a) vs b) unless she has to wait too much to get the answer. If she has, then her need has to be weighted against other business needs, so the data gathered in c) becomes relevant. b) then becomes one of c's aftermaths.

d) is dishonest

So it is a) -> c)

I wouldn't go directly to c), a) is cheap enough.

Missing the point. If lone wolf terrorists have access to engineered viruses or atomic bombs, that's bad in a unique way, because there's probably going to be >= 1 unhinged people who will use it, and all you need is 1.

If we're dealing with a world where only states can access the tech, the probability that >= 1 state will be sufficiently unhinged to use it is far lower.

We will eventually need a metaphorical CTRL+Z on tech, probably through government power and maybe world government. The fragility of us as organisms is about constant, but tech is going to keep getting better and cheaper.

That could be possible considering much of the language seems compatible. However, Crystal has incompatible accessor syntax for some reason. And concurrency is handled differently unless rails uses fibers everywhere. At this point they are way too different to just get away with syntax find/replace, it would require structural changes as well.

SOME right-wing communities are rather racist and frankly unhinged with the worst aspects of online behaviour - just look at QAnon and Proud Boys and the hatred of LGBTQ people.

It is not like the old days of conservatism - Big govt is bad - lower taxes- unions are bad - abortion is bad - work at will is the way to go.

Most left wing communities even the extreme ones in comparison get upset full of vitrol but that rarely veers into that sort of behaviour - health care for all - single payer - socialism works is hardly offensive to many.
Is that really how "laws of other countries" work?

People from all around the world can visit the US or get a US IP via some other mechanism (by using a cloud browser for example) and then they will see the content anyhow.

> Probably will get downvoted but I don’t think paying taxes leads to more social justice

I completely disagree (many rich people think the same way you do, this is not a novel argument, it is as old as taxes themselves), but the point was not on taxes, but on justice.

Meaning that if you pay a tax because - like it or not - you have to pay for it, I should pay it too, if we are in the same situation.

That's what I meant for "social justice", the obligation towards the community to fulfill your duties the same way other members of the community do.
Unless you build a rocket or submarine, all engines are air cooled. Using an intermediate transfer medium with high heat capacity seems like a design tradeoff, it helps you achieve higher power density in the combustion chamber at the expense of total mass of the propulsion system and some extra complexity.

Given the specifics of aircraft operation, large amounts of available coolant air, extra mass of cooling gear with available materials etc., I wouldn't be surprised if the result of that optimization problem is always against liquid cooling; at least for ICE engines where you can only achieve limited efficiency gains with higher temperatures and power densities.
