> yes the US is extremely guilty of this exact same behavior, it is also wrong.

Has US ever suffered sanctions for that? I don't remember any.

> This war started because Putin won’t accept anything less then complete fealty from the leaders of Ukraine/Belarus

How do you know this? Did Putin said this personally to you? Announced this in the media?

You attribute to him something that western propaganda fakes like it's some irrefutable absolute and complete truth.

BTW, do you remember that before it all started, Russia explicitly asked for guarantees that NATO won't expand further towards Russian borders and that request blatantly refused by the West.

Also, your media probably do not say that Ukrainian politicians repeatedly announced plans to exterminate Russian population of Ukraine. Physically kill all the Russians just as Hitler (he's considered a hero in Ukraine) wanted. You'd probably never find this in English or any other language spoken on the West, but there is plenty of evidence in Russian/Ukrainian even though a lot of it being scrubbed in the last 200 days. Still you can find a lot of those on YouTube for example, if you can understand Russian/Ukrainian.

You'll never be able to get a complete picture of what was and what is happening here because you can read and understand only what is fed to you by your media and this information is heavily biased to put it politely.

It wasn't a revolution - it was a coup funded and organized by the EU and USA.
Nobody wanted to go dark :-D each of us was an unpaid co-founder. Going dark looks very different from what was happening there - each of these guys just wanted to ship code so we make money, ASAP.

Well it wasn't trivial at that stage of our development. It became much more trivial once we and the market were happy with our product-market fit and at that point we indeed started with feature branches again.

Now I'm working at a consultancy and since there's much more time for everything, we are doing feature branches during our MVP development too. But there's a stark difference in velocity this current team and the team I told you about achieved.
The “easy” way to do it is to mandate autopilots to have the capability for precise ballistic trajectories. This would need better positioning, accelerometers, and meteorological radars and would also enable fully autonomous landings (if the plane can be aware of air densities and speeds around it, it can nail the landing even with wind gusts).
I'd also add that the optimizing the timeline for engagement (including negative engagement & arguments) wound up making me quit the platform entirely. There were no positive interactions, just deeply unpleasant arguments with people spewing vitriol.

Like ... why would I stay on a platform that was so deeply unpleasant to interact with all the time?

I don't post often on Facebook these days, but I find my posts either get zero likes or in the 30-40 like range with almost nothing in between.

This leads me to believe that no one is being shown roughly half my posts, though it's arguably possible half of what I post is total garbage.
I have also noticed a lot more suggested pages recently, I think they pushed a junk algorithm change.

The frustrating thing here seems to be the miss of justice. It takes extreme examples before anyone will correct a wrong. The police are cross referencing DNA from alternative database, 23and me, etc, .. but there is very little protection to stop them.

Yes, this is a case where the police are checking the dna collect from a police action (where she's the victim) to a police database of a prior crime. (Less bad than 3rd parties) However, this still brings up the question of rights to privacy and limitations of police through third parties. (Police have been found to use data aggrigators to find and track people without warrants)

Not a lawyer but a big question: How do you assert your rights if you don't know if they've been violated. (I.e. you're been investigated due to what a third party has collected) We need privacy protection laws. My understanding is without them you have to be an aggrieved party to protect yourself.
This whole story sucks. She would never have been charged or prosecuted if she weren’t robbing people.

There’s a general idea that evidence you provide about one crime can be used to prosecute you or someone else for another crime. Why is this a special exception to that rule?

If she called the cops about a rape and they recognized her as having outstanding warrants, should they let her go? What if the warrants are for murder?

What possible legal exception would apply here, but not apply across the system to a huge number of other cases?

Although the team currently is working on an expansion of the main content line as well - so that number should be going up!

Also, I disagree that it's easy to complete in 20 hours. The speedrun currently sits at 1h25m and while <20hr is quite possible for anyone to accomplish, it's pretty unrealistic for a first run where you'll likely hit a few progress snags.

Though, unlike some other games, the progress never slows down - misallocating early skill points in some games causes serious pain making up the same points without the proper tools at an exponentially increasing cost... in Factorio a tech is always the same cost so researching out of order simply delays how quickly you can become more efficient.
Anything you do to make yourself look good has only incremental effect; you must already have a "good" foundation (genetics, race, etc.)

An African American woman, for example, has almost zero chance of making it to the top 10 p$rnstars list, no matter how much she put effort and time to prepare herself.

Some things are just the realities of the world. Thinking otherwise makes you delusional.
NATO does have to at least keep parity with Russia. Russia is the number one threat in the region, and NATO was made specifically for this purpose. Without adequate weapons to ensure peace, there would be no point of the alliance.

Nuclear weapons are necessary as a deterrent. In this case from an adversary that has nuclear weapons - without those in stock NATO would be outmatched and vulnerable to being subject to the threat of using them.

At the end of the day, states with nuclear weapons get to push non-nuclear states around. Good luck getting Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan or North Korea to disarm.

Getting the West to abandon their nuclear weapons would be morally reprehensible as those states would become subjects to the states that did not.

It's a nice dream, but:

1. It won't happen.

2. Nuclear weapons I believe are the most important reason why we did not have a conventional war in Europe for 80 years. Russia would not attack an adversary that was nuclear armed or in a nuclear sharing program.

It doesn't matter what they deserve.

Suppose that you have a horrific knife slasher, let's call her Sally. She runs around town and kills people with a knife.

However, let's suppose that she gets raped. Will it not be beneficial to society that she is willing to go to the police over the rape case?

It's like perfidy. As a general principle you don't use the fact that people want to do something good against them, even if they're bad. There may be deeper situations where this analysis doesn't hold, for example, if your enemies are providing people schooling or food, that may be an even stronger reason why it's important to attack them, but aside from things like that, this generally holds.
I have had a nice vanity domain for about twenty years for a few bits and private bobs but someone has just bought the same name with an s on the end and launched a right wing podcast. I get bits of their email occasionally. So now if I ever do anything interesting with mine I may get shouted at for infringing their business name... Grrr. Still they may fade away, fingers crossed
I'm not sure it's the advertising dollars that are addictive as much as it is "growth". To keep the stock price up you have sustain a PE that reflects revenue growth, and once you are done signing up new users... Well... Something's got to give.

I see the ads as a lot like cutting timber out of a finite forest - it's profitable, but potentially harmful to the ecosystem in a way that can make it unsustainable. As long as you don't cut too much, replant aggressively, then you can make a sustainable business out of it - but it doesn't scale past the point where your harm to the ecosystem causes collapse. Once people exit FB because it's all ads, then the network benefits begin to evaporate, a little bit at first, then all at once...

Then again I don't run a social media company, so what do I know. ;-)
> another thing to consider is that whatever thing that person has that you want, there have been countless people who had copious amounts of that thing and were still so depressed that they killed themselves.

I find this lazy argument completely unconvincing and reject it entirely.

Very rarely would something like 2x total comp change the way someone lives, and if suddenly stumbling into a double income radically changes your life to the point where you become depressed, then that's kind of on you. Get therapy (you can actually afford it now), trade your money for more free time, seek meaning, be more generous and altruistic - acquire more friends, help others.

> Beyond meeting basic needs, it's much more about being happy with what you have

That sounds nice on paper, until you realize you've lived a few decades unable to afford anything beyond basic needs. I know this is HN, so 90% of people here are in an income bubble, but please try to imagine for a split second how miserable life is if you can't afford hobbies, healthcare, stable housing, or a companion pet.

I've worked on tools that were slightly misnamed after 6 months, and completely misnamed after 2 years. At that point they were also usually just nearly useless due to feature bloat and/or lack of scalability, so deprecated or replaced with something better.

They didn't change names, but their successors would get a new one.
This doesn’t need AI. The physics are very well understood. All that’s needed is a better autopilot with better awareness of surrounding conditions and more precise control of the aircraft.
No, but I'd likely say "I haven't met with you in several months, and I just would like to check in with you how things are going. What are your concerns, what makes you happy, what are we missing. This is intentionally freeform, with a focus on whatever is important to you".

There won't be an agenda, because it predetermines possible outcomes.

But it's probably worth considering that even skips for exec-level folks are usually quite senior and should be able to handle an ad-hoc conversation. It's not an approach I'd choose with more junior folks.

I don't know what you are trying to search for. A record for total compensation? Something related to Tesla coils? Turing Complete? Thread Count is a totally valid interpretation.
It happened right as they started deprioritizing news, which included every legitimate media outlet that adults tend to read—including non-political publications.

Also my friends basically all stopped posting anything in 2020.

So what's left is nothing but dumb memes. Half are about dogs (okay, I do like dogs, but these are just stupid). The other half are Lord of the Rings, which I have never expressed interest in, but must be in a lookalike audience for people who do.
Why would you want to unfollow your own friends? To me, that's always been the one useful feature of Facebook.
Those are great questions.

You could get 60% of the way there with Dropbox syncing your OS, with a few caveats (screen brightness should be per-device).

But if you start drafting an email on your phone, you probably would like to finish writing it and send it from your laptop. Gmail and Outlook do this today, but only because their phone app and their desktop app are working together with a remote server.

If I was building a prototype, I'd start with an always-connected model and "eager" state updates, because caching is hard. To support concurrent writers who both want to be able to undo each other's edits suggests using an OT[1] or CRDT[2] as the basic data type, rather than files. Each node regularly advertises its current capabilities (as well as things like impending sleep states or battery life) to a central scheduler which sends tasks to nodes and collects results. Note - a lot of these ideas come from a project by my colleagues called unis[3], but applied to the topic of operating systems.

There are some interesting design choices. Does the dispatcher make all the scheduling decisions, or can the user explicitly say things like "it's ok if Minecraft drops frames, but that background rendering job has to be done by 5pm"?

Synced settings are not qualitatively different from multiple clients SSHing into a Linux server, but if any client can suddenly turn around and start acting like a server on a whim, that would be cool.

agreed. until bluetooth earphone batteries can go for a few days between recharging, and can quick charge in, say, 15 min or so, I'll keep my wired. I also have AirPod Pros, but I keep my Bose qc20 around and still find myself using them multiple times per month when the APP go low (never get more than around 3 hrs from them).
That'd actually make for a good movie or tv show, maybe breaking bad style. Insurance adjuster housewife struggling with a sick kid, starts running it as a side project to pay the bills or something, maybe she's in cahoots with the insurance company CEO, they do the murder for hire thing, and then frame the relative, and keep the insurance money for themselves. Or maybe instead of sort by new, they sort by highest risk (oldest/sickest) and find ways to frame the beneficiary.
Justice doesn’t mean guaranteed prosecution. Not being able to even submit evidence without the threat of arrest is categorically separate from a prosecutor declining to prosecute a case they should have.
Not all vaccines are the same. For example, I was never forced to take a vaccine to go to school that wasn't approved by the FDA.
It's an interesting exercise to think about:

suppose you're in the meeting room and you're the product guy and you'll make this case. Indeed let us not optimize for the presently advantageous local maxima lest it come back to swallow and end us. How is this communicated? And what does it take to convincingly persuade people, or investors of this -- to even bear through a temporary downward period with the understanding that fundamentals must be respected?
It's called signal-to-noise ratio and it affects everything these days. We stopped reading newspapers and magazines when it became harder to find articles in-between all the ads. We stop watching broadcast TV when a typical 30 minute show has 18 minutes of commercials. We stop visiting websites when pop-up and flashing ads overwhelm the site.

Social media sites are no different. The question is will they wake up before all their users flee.
I'm guessing you don't play with any of the (excellent) mods enabled.
If the WTFPL is a bit too blue for you, you might prefer the Unlicense[0], it's what I tend to reach for when licensing projects these days. Compared to the WTFPL it's a bit more explicit about usage rights (but less explicit word-choice wise), and is basically equivalent in respect to the freedoms it provides. There's also the CC0[1] license, though I tend only to use that one for actual media, and not code.

I really hope more people will start to use these kind of licenses. Releasing something you made into the public-domain without concern about attribution or copyleft nonsense is, to my mind, one of the noblest things a creative individual can do...

I was actually going to post vacation photos a few months ago, after my first real trip post Covid. But... it just felt really awkard to do so all of a sudden. My feed is just stuffed with shared content and other crap, it no longer felt like something I would be welcome doing.

It just feels like FB errr "Meta" is really losing its way, and this Metaverse stuff just seems like its going to be a furnace into which billions of dollars are going to be thrown into. My gut says its time, but I just can't quite pull the trigger yet.
Ask HN: How to Become Proficient at Troubleshooting
Hey everyone,

My first ask HN. I have worked in tech for over 20 years. One thing I am truly awful about is troubleshooting. Sometimes its obvious, ie the log or error message tells you what you need to do. Otherwise, Yes, I usually get there in the end but it's a long, drawn out process.

I am best at designing and implementing, not troubleshooting.

It's not that I don't understand the products I use every day. It's just my ASD (Autism) afflicted mind doesn't follow norms and paths (for example, the chop method of deduction) but jump from a to b, to f, to p, to b. Sometimes a semi-obvious fix can take me days to get there.

For example, a coworker fixed a semi obvious issue in twenty minutes today that took me hours and never got sorted because, well, I am not good at troubleshooting. It is something that does hold me back and need to try and fix.

How can one learn to become good at troubleshooting, if it learnable?

The tone of your post is unnecessary and not helpful to your point. I don't agree with the authors point but I can say that without being insulting or snarky.

In spite of that, when did "making a database product" count as not "hard?" Building a database isn't "real software engineering™?" Since when was building "authorization microservices" easy? In the simplest case, sure. But authorization in general is a huge problem space and I don't understand calling that "bs." Active Directory would like a word...
The thing about "X is a fantastic tool as long as you use it in a way the developers never intended", is that sooner or later, some interaction you rely on will break because the devs either don't care about or actively want to remove your use-case. Which is a problem if you've invested a lot into it at that point.

Congratulations, you also figured out why it was so polarizing and why more than half the audience hated it... assuming you believe Rotten Tomatoes. It's Star Wars. People don't want a goddamned political deconstruction of all the objectively bullshit and overblown worries of the current culture. They want an escapist fantasy about another galaxy thousands of years ago.

There's not enough evidence on Planet Earth to make me believe they sat around in meetings thoroughly discussing what would be a logical story arc for the original cast, whilst simultaneously passing the baton over to a new generation to start exploring their own stories.
