Russia is largely a gas station. The export very little to the US or much of the West other than that. They had military exports, but buyers are starting to question the reliability after seeing performance in Ukraine. Russia has also shrunk, relatively speaking, since the fall of the USSR. Their entire GDP is about 1/20 of the US's

Perun has been creating many excellent videos on the subject on YouTube

Interesting fact, Russian expats earn on average 20% more than the median income wherever the live
Is this only in large doses (>4g/day), or does taking Tylenol a couple times a week for a headache also increase the risk? I've always read the it's the former - which is a problem, because it's so close the the therapeutic dose. But for many people who take it once in a while, it's a godsend.

Hey, I'm Sam and I'm a Senior Front End Engineer with 10+ Years of Experience.

I love long walks on the beach and taking on impossible-to-solve Front End Engineering challenges.

For client projects, I recently worked on a WordPress site for a Manhattan Synagogue that involved a heavy rewrite in Tailwind.

Another recent client was a React PWA built with Next.js, where I also got to implement Natural Language Processing via JavaScript to make event dates smarter.

I also built and currently maintain the largest GitHub community for Apple Silicon Software with 94 open-source contributors.

In my spare time, I built an interface for displaying the order of Marvel Movies built on TypeScript + Astro, which allows you to build with React, Vue, Svelte, or any Vite compatibles JS Framework:

This has been said many times in all of these threads, but the operator of the site has always been very clear that he will comply with all legal subpoenas he is served. He condemns death threats and really anything that isn’t just pointing and laughing.

The reason this is a big deal to some is because there was no legal procedure at all. If the site was so obviously guilty as some are claiming, why hasn’t anything been done about it?
Loved that game. I played those 1982 cards as a kid with my mom when we'd go on skiing trips.
In the future there will be an acid-like substance used to safely dissolve almost anything, except maybe metals and stones.
From my research into QC, the main advances I see:

1. Breakthroughs in quantum error correction that is allowing IBM to promise a leap from 89 qubits today to 4,000 qubits in 2025 (still not enough on its own for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer - CRQC0, running Shor's algorithm for exponential speedup in breaking e.g. RSA 2048, which some research suggests would take 20M qubits including those for quantum error correction)

2. The breakthrough by University of Chicago researchers that showed multiple quantum computers can be entangled over tuned optical fibers to act as a single quantum computer. This still doesn't mean that we can go from 4,000 qubits to 20M by networking 5,000 of the quantum computers IBM promised for 2025, in 2025, but it provides a trajectory for networked quantum computing as a horizontal scaling strategy.
Wyze Cam v3 (wifi) -> Its 35$ with very good night vision ( amazon link )

Make sure to get a SD card for local recording

Then use this docker app to get raw RTSP urls and LAN only -> https://github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge

Next use Frigate as your NVR -> https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate
--------

The wyze cams use about 3-5 watts of energy over USB. This make perfect for using a USB battery bank, a solar "generator" like the comments mention, or any place you can get "usb" power. This assumes you have Wifi, but if you have say a 4g modem, id assume it has wifi hotspot on it, most do. Then you still can connect the wyze cams to them.

If you are concerned about privacy, thats where the docker app + sd card comes to play. You are recording to SD and also RSTP streaming via the docker app. If you are ultra concerned, just block the api calls with your favorite firewall/adguard/pi hole.

I have this exact setup and very happy. Runs on docker, I self host via traefik and VPN into my box for access.
Maybe ok if everyone drove them, I'd seriously consider it for my sunny commute in Nevada and parking all day outside in the desert. Unfortunately, everyone else is driving a massively oversized pickup truck and I'd prefer not to be obliterated.
Simple: dot separated values. ;)

What world? The one where Russia is shunned?
LCOE does not take most important thing of renewables into account - when the energy is actually available. Turns out it's extremely unstable, not only in the day/night cycle, but also around the year. December is black hole in Poland, less than hour of sunlight a day and weak wind.

What does that part mean exactly? Sounds a bit threatening.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Good to see it.

This is terrible advice - and it is also incorrect.

Police will respond, most assuredly, if you declare this intention, but you will be at best a complicating factor and at worst an additional deadly threat.

Finally, if it was all a ruse you could find yourself in serious legal jeopardy if any violent - or deadly - outcomes ensue.
Trans woman here, both 1) access to HRT for minors and 2) HRT without medical/parental gatekeeping are widely supported positions in the trans community (which I also endorse).

Rationale for 1. It's widely supported by the medical community and by scientific studies, and helps improve the quality of life of people with gender dysphoria.

Rationale for 2. Gatekeeping traditionally consist in telling a psychiatrist anecdotal personal stories about your gender expressions and behaviors. Some psychiatrist hold sexist attitudes, and can prolong your gatekeeping or refuse treatment if you don't tell them a nice tradwife story (always known, only attracted to boys (if MtF) or girls (if FtM), always played with [gendered toy]).

This even has the opposite effect of not wanting to talk with them about genuine doubts, since they can deny you HRT if they don't like your adherence to sex stereotypes.

In the end the trans person themself is more qualified to know whether they would like their bodies to be more masculine or feminine.

(EDIT: added rationales)
Free markets require a government, and a government acts as guarantor of the rights needed for the free market to function.

A free market is not a market without a government.
So, the last 100 years of scientific research, then?

As long as science was done properly, the results are valid (even if the opinions on what those results mean may not be).

And if "not enough science was done" to rigorously investigate the entire landscape, that's not a failing of those doing the science. It's not their job to perform years-long work for nothing, so someone's going to have to pay for it, and academia has no money, independent research institutes only work on commission, and companies obviously only pay for studies they think will let them grow as a business. Especially in that last case, if the research does some funny stuff with the statistics (as is so often the case), that's on "us" (as in, the reviewers, publishers, and experts in the field) to call bullshit on, but "those who stand to gain pay for the research" has been driving research since before either of us was born.
I used the default inputs and got an NSFW detected warning on my first try.
This is not too hard of a problem, but the issue is that it's expensive. You can likely get to ~100k packets/second of forum serving + DDoS attack filtering on one core, but you will eventually saturate your (likely 1 gbps or less) upstream connection. The only real mitigation to this is to have a much bigger upstream connection than you need.

Edit - clarifying that 100k pps per core would only be achievable if the vast majority of the traffic (>95%) could be filtered out.
yeeah it seems maybe 'baby' triggers the nsfw filter?
From reading papers of various different types in the past few years it really depends a lot on the exact field in question.

Nutrition? Would be surprising if there's much political distortion there but there's lots of really bad methodologies, partly because it's hard to get good data (people are bad at reliably writing down what they eat).

Social bot/misinformation research? Basically just politics masquerading as science. Methodologies are invariably bogus and conclusions are clearly determined before any 'research' is done.

Epidemiology? A mix of bad incentives and ideological distortion. The focus on policy advice isn't really scientific, and their policies somehow always end up requiring massive state intervention in people's private lives. This isn't something that falls naturally out of the science (which is unreliable anyway) but more the fact that they don't even consider any other possibilities.

The above three are pretty bad fields. There are plenty of better ones. Computer science is mostly OK. AI and cryptography are slightly dubious. Stuff like databases or computer graphics are fine. So IMO it doesn't make sense to talk about research or academia in general, or it does but only when discussing the universal incentive problems. Some fields just seem naturally resistant to political game playing because they don't have much/any impact on social policy to begin with. Obviously I mean politics as in democratic politics here, not the more mundane everyday departmental politics.
> adopting a new political philosophy

No thanks, I'd rather let market forces make that decision eventually.

All imposed political philosophy that run contrary to market forces and human desires will run into massive inefficiency and grift.
Part of it is everything creates waste heat - so a well insulated house can take a looooong time to cool (my furnace died in the winter and I didn’t notice for over a week).

And you can survive “unaided” quite low (sleeping bags rated to -30°?) but there is a heat point where you die if you cannot escape it somehow.
> Playground rules are that you fight back and it ends, or you take it and it goes on forever.

I don't think any fight has ever stopped once someone else starts throwing punches, certainly not on KiwiFarms. The only thing they care about is how you react. If you start getting mad on Twitter, then they'll take the fight to Twitter. If you start a public campaign to take them down, the users will obviously take it personally. If you reached out to the police and talked with a therapist/loved one... what would they do? In the hyper-sensational age though, the only response anyone wants is to make an eye-opening TikTok for their 15 seconds of fame... so long as they aren't hated, that sort of fame is obviously verboten.

My goal isn't to take a shot for KiwiFarms or blame the victims here. I'm simply expressing that, as a queer person, I prefer to live in a world where KiwiFarms is allowed to exist. It's a horrible place populated by increasingly toxic people, but without it the internet lacks balance. Without websites like KiwiFarms, it's hard to feel secure hosting anything that others are allowed to use. On the other side of that coin, the people lobbying against KiwiFarms are largely stationed on centralized platforms. They're encouraging a future where all of our communication is commodified and owned by private interests. Maybe it is too late to save the internet, but I'll be the last one to adopt the fatalist mindset that everything requires direct moderation.
I'm not sure "collective intelligence" gives the right feel. We have the intelligence, we're just organised by a few people who have power directing labour towards making those few people even more insanely rich, whilst many people continue without direction and a larger few attempt to direct resources towards the benefit of the majority.

Maybe intelligence is about organisation (of neurons) but still, organisation towards a common goal that isn't further enrichment of the most insanely greedy seems like our major problem on a species level.
Many such cases.
I too moved from Europe to the US and the paper sizes are the worst - have you tried folding it? It doesn’t work.

> almost a whole value

But not a whole value.
“The truth is reducing CO2 emissions is an emergency, and any other environmental considerations other than doing that is just arguing about deck chairs on the Titanic.”

This statement is wrong. Climate and collapsing ecosystems/biodiversity are connected, and one is not more urgent than the other.
I did not receive any email after I wrote that comment.
omg so cool, thank you!
The real problem with electric cars and modern cars in general in the snow is the sheer weight of the vehicles makes it harder to stop in an emergency.

Most of the crummy AWD systems they throw in the majority of cars these days can get you unstuck or up a hill so that’s not a major advantage.

Also, car makers tend to throw on low friction tires on electric cars to increase range which invites another set of problems.
If some entity, be it the government or some other institution, is to take the responsibility of redistributing wealth by any means (taxation, welfare, rent control, etc.), does not that institution then bear the responsibility of determining what is equitable? Does this change over time?

And doesn’t that institution also bear the responsibility of the generational social and cultural impacts?

Does wealth redistribution reach stasis at a standard of living that is lower than is currently achievable? Does the golden goose eventually stop laying eggs?

Social engineering experiments can have many unforeseeable impacts - both good and bad. There is no guarantee that the ultimate results will be better than the starting conditions.

Whatever is done, it should be done slowly and under controlled conditions so that the impacts can be measured.
> On income? How would this work?

Cloudflare is a public company. I can tell you from being in a position to know this at a small company, but the "vendor review / procurement process" that happens to acquire a new service is non-trivial and usually offers several checkpoints to make sure that you're only onboarding vendors that meet strict criteria. One of those criteria is "not being embroiled in an obviously bad PR scandal easily revealed by a basic Google search."

CloudFlare is public and that means that their shareholders have the final say, not the individual customers. If shareholders see that CloudFlare's revenue is declining or that key customers are leaving, and there's an obvious reason why that's happening, well, that's the answer to who has the most say.

The whole operational plan that @SleepingGiants had during the Trump administration was to systematically identify corporate links and associations, and to highlight them to PR and legal teams who knew how this worked. "Cancellation" works not because individuals are easily moved by emotional arguments. It works because most companies answer to shareholders, and most shareholders care about value and growth. The company has a fiduciary duty to drive value for shareholders. When those stars align, obvious reasons why value is being artificially capped don't become "hard decisions." They become easy ways to increase value.

There are very few companies that can successfully hold an ideology. When they do hold an ideology, that ideology is usually aligned with some market force. Apple advertises privacy as its ideology because it's seemingly aligned with shareholder value. The ideology becomes expensive or even net-negative commensurate with the value being driven.
This argument is too general. "Majority dislike what you do (even if not illegal) -> can pull out all stops to bring you down" is a very bad principle. Just look at the treatment of gay people in the 50s.

Asshole is also pretty subjective.
Whoop tee doo. I've seen dozens of livestreamed murders on Instagram Live and Facebook Live. Reddit has /r/chiraqology where there are hundreds of videos of gang bangers and drill rappers beefing with each other and shooting at each other, and commenters celebrate the lifestyle and keep detailed ontologies of it all.

Nobody is talking about nuking any of these platforms from existence just because of some isolated illegal incidents.
I'm all for diversity in fiction, eliminating caricatures, positive portrayal of marginalized groups, etc. But that's different from saying "I think works which don't have these features should be banned".

That kind of harm is just too dilute to justify this approach to me, especially given all the ethical concerns that exist if you force the model to stay only in the hands of its creators and make them its gatekeepers. (Bearing in mind that the creators of the model are a for-profit corporation, not a bunch of AI ethicists.)

And again, I support improving the model so it doesn't generate racist (or any other -ist) content. I just think that improvement, and indeed all work on the model, is better done in the open.
Ask HN: What are some examples of “decentralized discoverability?”
While the web itself is built on a series of decentralized protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS), discoverability is still centralized on platforms like Google Search, Twitter, YouTube, etc...

Even web3 stuff relies on centralized indexes/marketplaces like OpenSea.

The idea of mirroring an index (Pirate Bay), or having a distributed database (DNS), is fascinating to me.

These are the examples I can think of:

DNS
UseNet
FidoNet
PirateBay
Mastadon

Any others?

What could "decentralized discoverability" look like for content?
I'm not sure what your point is - are you against democracy?
WW2 happened to kill significantly more civilians then soldiers. And among those, old, sick, poor and weak died the most. Babies and small kids too, so it is not entirely clear how exactly it would cut.
So we don't need Cloud Flare or Facebook deciding whose speech is bad, we can use the court system.
Isn't browsing the web painfully slow on that machine?
ok, nothing was lowered, but nextgen and the reliance on satellite based navigation is allowing the planes to take more direct routes. this necessarily takes them over areas where they didn't fly before.

i'm sympathetic to the homeowners, but the routes are more efficient and planes burn less fuel. and if the difference is really only a few miles as the guy said in the video, we're talking about ~15 seconds of inconvenience per plane (planes look like they're flying over the lakes ~300 kts), and from checking adsexchange/flightradar, we're not talking about a huge number of planes.
Why weed companies can't make any moneT
I think this is the big flaw of systems like IPFS and BitTorrent. “If you pin it, it will stay online” is all well and good, but if it's a legal risk to keep the content online, you're putting a target on your head. Now, you could make everything encrypted and anonymised, but now you're Freenet (is that what it's called?) and the risk you're hosting e.g. CSAM means nobody wants anything to do with you no matter what you have pinned.
"Disgusted" gave a NSFW error. "Horrified" worked but the result was awful.
None of these are true of modern PHP, which is fairly old by now. It’s possible to write bad and insecure code in PHP, but that’s true of every web-oriented language and framework.

PHP in production runs behind Apache or Nginx, so directory traversal and similar attacks should get stopped there. In 20 years of working on PHP code I have never seen this particular vulnerability, though I can imagine how it might happen.

PHP has a bad reputation mainly because inexperienced programmers and even non-programmers choose it as the path of least resistance. Python code suffers from the same problem, though Python is not nearly as popular for developing web sites as PHP.
> I will not be letting my children near discord.

Isn't this kind of a whack-a-mole approach to things? The internet is full of hazards... are you going to ban everything that comes up?
> I will not be letting my children near discord.

Good luck with that. Your children will seek things out on their own, against your will.
Rental units also, the last 3 places I've rented have had driveways but no ability to charge an electric car, there just isn't enough incentive for landlords to install them yet, maybe if enough people start driving EVs people will significantly favor units with charging amenities but I can't find anything.
And you’ve misread the whole concept of my post. There’s nothing wrong with finding parallels with different disciplines. I don’t recall saying that at all. My gripe is that different discipline always seems to be architecture and the design patterns topic has been talked to death for over 50 years now.
