"At least from the pictures I'm seeing". There you have it folks, pictures. Ukraine with their centrist democratically elected leader and lowest amount of neo-nazism in the region compared to all their neighbors according to Pew polling is actually a fascist country justifiably being taken out by Putin's Russia, a mafia dictatorship who promotes known Nazis to high positions (such as the founder of Wagner who has SS tattoos on his neck).

It's so ironic that this thread about purported Ukrainian propaganda is so thick with Kremlin propaganda.
Considering they’re pushing 75% in Argentina, 10% sounds like a deal.
Erm, keeping track of how far you are through an author’s works (I know a guy who did this to work through Michener’s entire catalogue over many years), seeing your reading taste evolve (I’ve been trying to read more non-fiction), graphing your reading over time (are you meeting your goals for yourself?) and thousands and thousands of other great reasons.

It’s not masturbatory to create goals for yourself, and lists are a great way to track those goals.

Having that data even allows future insight into things you haven’t even thought of yet.
I wouldn't say the majority is always mobile. Just checked my channel and mobile viewing is 44%, so the majority of people are still not phone users.
At the passport control kiosks, they can just scan your face and give you an exit ticket. It was super quick, and surprising. I was able to skip talking to an immigration agent completely. They can do this because they have photos of me from previous kiosk visits, and because they can restrict the universe of photos they need to check to just those who were on recent flights. I wonder how well it works for twins traveling together or something. For any level of uncertainty, they can just have you go talk to a human instead.

I write a lot about CI/CD at my job (unsurprising as we are a CI service). While we do have some articles about our platform itself, most of the articles you'll find are more general:

You know, if you were a little more educated on the hypocrisy of European Royalty, you could make better arguments.

Adobe acquiring Figma is like suddenly realising you're living on a floodplain. Sure your house might not be flooded right now but you better sure have plans in place for when it does, and honestly you're probably better just looking for a new house so you no longer have the stress of wondering when it will flood.

For iOS and iPadOS, I use Adguard Premium(they offer system wide blocking too). On Mac, Adguard for Safari is good enough. It’s the best possible option given Safari’s limitations if you want to stick with Safari. For most intents and purposes it works ‘almost’ as well as ublock origin on Firefox.
1Password and Wipr does a good job too.
That is highly dependent on if the stock appreciates.

I track parallel currency exchange market rates and provide usage-based API.

It's like oil; many sub-products can be made from this.

For starters, many of them:

- Currency exchange basic calculator.

- Commissions calculator (many exchanges claim to be "no commissions," but you pay a lot in exchange rate flexibility as well)[0]

- Some financial institutions need to track economic indicators... I have that data.

- Integration with CRMs, to issue correct quotes using parallel exchange rates.

- Integration with ERPs, for whatever you use ERPs. - etc. etc. etc.

EDIT: Clarity.

I don't understand this idealism, I see it as naive and dangerous. It's a freaking war! I want my side to win. Propaganda is a powerful weapon. I would be really pissed off if my side would not use it. Having more western propaganda in western media is how I would hope things are. Otherwise it would mean we are in deep shit indeed.
Umm, Putin literally gave a "blood & soil" speech before invading. Do you think the mass graves found are also fake?
It’s not just Reddit, either. This same story has played out for me on Anime News Network’s forums, some gaming forums, etc.

Ultimately I just take my toys and go home - they don’t want me there, and it’s their legal right to say so.

But it results in a forum of views that appear to show unanimous consensus that {x} is good or {y} is bad, which is potentially dangerous for society at large and certainly bad for an open society of debate and knowledge sharing.

Even worse, I’ve seen instances where a blatantly bigoted, racist, or violent extreme view is allowed to stay (down voted to hell, of course) while my and others’ more nuanced or intelligent takes are scrubbed and banned.

I can only presume this is intentional with the effect of demonstrating that “only violent extremists are anti-{x} or pro-{y}, and you wouldn’t want to be associated with those people, now, would you?”

I only wish I had an example handy to share, because it’s been pretty blatant at times.

Ultimately the moral judgements associated with every political argument is getting ridiculous and (intentionally?) stifling debate while stirring unrest, and most of it feels artificial.
If you're not the customer you're the product. Figma just cashed you out.
Yep, and the GP is saying that you should optimize your procedures to deal with the attacks, not with the honest errors. Exactly because the honest errors almost never happen (even when there are thousands of people on the organization).

Anyway, if a complaint about procedures makes exactly as much sense if you replace the cause with "gets sick and spend a day at the hospital" without losing meaning, then it's not a valid complaint.
Why are we just taking for granted that the Youtube acquisition wasn't anti-competitive? There is a reason that Youtube hasn't had any competitors in the 15 years that Google bought it. It's because video can't be done as cheaply as Youtube does it, unless you have an entirely separate industry propping it up. Selling on product at a massive loss and propping it up with a separate industry is anti-competitive.

Nobody can compete on Youtube-style video unless they first create Google. If that isn't true, where are the competitors? TikTok is the first one to even resemble a competitor, but it took 17 years and even that isn't really the same thing.

My wife and I went to a showing of Hackers at DNALounge in 2020 - https://www.dnalounge.com/calendar/2020/02-28.html.

They set it up to look like Cyberdelia. After the movie they ran a costume contest. The showing was just weeks before the pandemic truly hit America, and we felt pretty lucky that we made it home with out anything.
It's a bit annoying that (with the exception of Apple) ARM only exists in the low end and in the high-end cloud server space. There is no ARM equivalent to the Core i5 generally available.
Seriously? We all know Tesla doesn't have a media relations department. As such we all know they don't respond to media requests. You still consider it "due diligence" to ask questions of a nonexistent department?
Trend pieces are worried about the new wave of Quiet Running.
You'd be surprised... They usually can only trip at the end of the cycle - ie. in a 60 Hz power grid, that might take 17 milliseconds. Many take 40+ milliseconds.

Luckily, electricity is about 20x safer as long as it is supplied for less time than one heartbeat[1] - ie. 500 milliseconds.

Thats how RCD's can be so lifesaving even though they are relatively slow.

That does not surprise me. I am on Ukraine's side in this conflict because I hate both the Russian and Chines governments with a passion. However, Ukrainians hack just as much as Russians do. In fact, last Spring some Ukrainian guy posted a web dev freelance job to Upwork, and when I applied the poster messaged me saying it was actually a Ukrainian who wants access to the US only jobs, and wanted to buy my account. I told them to screw off. Them making bots to sway public opinion is not surprising in the least.
> It’s not a shadow government if the laws and policy are public. You can read all of the laws.

This is not really true. The BSA says banks have to maintain an "adequate AML program" and policies to "reasonably know your customers identities" or whatever. These policies are deliberately vague. Then based on these deliberately vague rules, banks have to make a compliance program that usually goes above and beyond the minimum that is required (in order to avoid being fined). These compliance programs that specify what kinds of behavior and transactions to consider risky are never made public.
Looks like an interesting paper; why is it supposed to be "ignorable"?
Personally, I wish it was as rewarding building or creating something as it is to invest in the stock market over the past decade. If you have capital it makes more sense to put it into stocks than opening a coffee shop or computer repair shop, etc. If the stock market stops paying out maybe we'll go back to trying to create value instead of profiting from value created by others.
I hadn’t considered doing this. It’s a huge investment, but I suppose just by making that investment it’s a signal to that department.

Thanks!
Would interest me as well. Out of sheer curiosity.
The Verge had a write up on this years ago that answers your question [1].

I only remember it because I had the same reaction you did!

The short version is - different royalty rates + algorithm preferences.

While it may seem immaterial to each user, the ability to lower the royalty cost on billions of plays is likely material to Spotify's margins, which are already caught between the cost of the platform and the strongly defended royalty structure on most music.

If you had $200k in yearly TWTR you’d make $100k this year. Things don’t always go up.
I'm the opposite: I hate movies because they are too short to form any meaningful connections with the characters.

That being said, if it's gonna be on the level on The Rings Of Power cringefest they might as well not make it.

Amazon's TV series department seems more like a SJW/Wokeness apologee factory so that Amazon can always point and say "see, we are on your side".

Maybe a few would take issue with: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. "
Regulators should probably break up Microsoft into many individual companies.
I have heard of these. I wouldn't accept an offer like this unless the fixed comp was 2-3x normal market value for my services.

(The stock of my employers usually goes up during my vesting periods, and usually by well more than is needed to double my total comp -- the 2-3x is risk adjusted)
The best idea I've found is actually visiting the university web pages of the faculty in the department you'll be studying in. Often the more amiable professors will have better web pages with information like mentoring students, possible projects, other outreach activities, etc.
Ok cool. Still better than forking over 100s of dollars a month for CC
I would have no problem cancelling or paying more. I’m not commenting on a hypothetical future though, I’m commenting on what I think the best way to enjoy YouTube without ads is today.

If there is a vesting start delay then it's still not equivalent to an ESPP. But once you're in the middle of the pipeline I guess it's pretty similar.
> In the UK the mainstream (serious) news has been fairly reliant on reporting based on estimated troop movements illustrated by video so there hasn't been too much potential for egregious nonsense.

I'd agree with this. The BBC's Ukrainecast podcast seems to be very conservative here as an example. I don't listen all the time, but when I do it reports things as new days behind OSINT sources. And they're always very clear about what they can and can't independently verify, and specifically call out when Ukrainians are stopping journalists getting places to verify their claims.
The intro may give an impression that Rust has less control about moving values than C, but that's not accurate. The problem is that both languages behave exactly the same: they can pass and assign structs by value, which changes their address.

In C any problems caused by this are "solved" just by telling programmers not to do that. In Rust that's not good enough — safety guarantees are supposed to catch such violations, so the goal is to automatically and robustly prevent incorrect struct moves. Rust already makes that safe by default when using the borrow checker, but it doesn't have a nice built-in mechanism for preventing moves of non-borrowed structs.
It can be preferable because RSU's typically have a basis that reflects the price of the stock at the time they're granted. So if you're granted $100k in RSU's per year at year 0, and the price of the stock doubles by year 1, you'll actually receive $200k worth of stock.
Unless the entire narrative you laid out is the result of a propaganda campaign. I don't think it is in this case, but the presence of this quantity of bots pushing a certain perspective does make me question my assumptions and worry how I'm being influenced in cases that are not nearly as black and white as Ukraine vs Russia.
It is already, and has always been a cat & mouse game with the bigcorps.

Facebook and Twitch are at the bleeding-edge of "anti-adblock tech", and another reason why I don't use those services.
I tend to describe Hackers as depicting what coding feels like on the inside.

All those great visuals, the pumping music, it captures the emotion of getting your teeth into a really gnarly problem, and the exuberance of eventually coming up with a solution. People watching over the shoulder of a developer at work are just going to see a bunch of scrolling text and tedious iterations of red, red, red, green, reload, alt-tab, change a thing, wait, red, red, red, green, and so on. But that workflow - if you dig the work - is enthralling. And when you solve the problem, it's worth throwing your hands up with glee, and (internally) belting out a cheesy action hero oneliner.

Not to mention when you are real-time dealing with attackers trying to compromise your systems, the chaos and exasperation and desperate attempts to block them very much match the climactic scene of The Plague and his hapless techno weenies typing "cookie".

I'm probably biased because of my age and the time in my career when I first watched the movie (around the same time as my first job) but to me it still feels like the most authentic silver screen portrayal of what I do. More modern shows often capture the cold, hard reality of the work better, which admittedly is just a bunch of text scrolling on a screen. And there are definitely works that better satirize the office culture, like Office Space and Silicon Valley. But there still hasn't been much that captured the excitement of the time, and can really explain to people outside of the industry why at least a certain subset of 1990s teenagers felt compelled to get into this apparently boring and nerdy career.

I suppose it's very "of its time", because nowadays everyone understands why kids want to get into IT - it's one of the most flexible and lucrative careers there is.

Yeah. I didn't know the name for this, but have seen it.

In the US you don't have regiments with swastikas on their flags. In Ukraine you do.
It is not a surprise. Ukraine propaganda is spectacular in terms of reach and effectiveness. Frankly, both US, Russia and China are likely taking notes. Even mild indication of pro-Russia stance ( say, spelling Kiev the wrong way ) might result in heavy pile on depending on the forum.

I don't like it and I am not fond of Russia. However, I have learned to accept we now share public spaces with various interests that now include spooks and the private parties they hired.
I agree. I've been using Reddit heavily for 15 years and it's almost unbearable now. Whatever shred of credibility it had at the beginning is being intentionally destroyed to drive shareholder value. Sadly its decline is happening in tandem with Google's decline, meaning that Reddit is one of the last places to find real feedback from real people about a wide range of products, services, and topics.

We really need some decent alternatives, to lots of services.
The explanation for that is easy.

Most of the people knew with which side to side long before the war started.

No amount of propaganda is going to convince an average west European or American that Russians are good guys who just wanted to protect Russian-speaking people in Ukraine. Moreover, no amount of "western" propaganda will convince someone in a country that was hit by the USA or NATO bombs that Ukraine supported by "the west" is fighting for freedom and democracy.

With propaganda, you can soften these opinions a bit, but that's the limit.

And it just happens so, that both Reddit, Twitter and HN are dominated with the users from the first group, so they tend to believe Ukraine side more.
Same here. I use Brave browser and rarely see ads anywhere. I am always shocked when I see other people’s web experience . It’s as unbearable as US network TV with commercials every ten minutes.
Imagine paying for Youtube Premium then some months down the line they will just ban you as usual without any chance to get back your account. Maybe you opened a "wrong" link from Gmail. Maybe you watched a "wrong" upload on Youtube. Who knows. Google would be the last company on Earth I'd give my money.

Actually, it's not. There are materials that are both generally highly reflective and also have blackbody emissions with strong peaks in frequencies that the atmosphere is transparent to. Such materials can radiate enough energy into space to passively self-cool below nearby ambient temperature, even during the day.
People make mistakes. I might have done something like that until reading the article. This caught my eye,

> the flow of electric power in the direction reverse to that of the typical flow of power circumvents safety features of the home’s electrical system and can result in a fire.

At first I thought they were BSing. A fuse doesn’t care which side is the source, it blows on current. I kept thinking about it and realized what they’re talking about. If you plug a 30a generator circuit into a 15a circuit and then draw more than 15a on that circuit (thereby avoiding the fuse/CB), you’re going to have a bad time. Similarly, even if you’re only drawing 15a on that circuit, but you draw another 15a on another (15a bypassing the fuse and 15a going thru the fuse), you’re still going to have a bad time.

It’s a very specific set of circumstances, but it probably happens more than you would think. Because of the fact that they’re only energizing half their circuits, they probably start moving loads to working outlets.
> That's theoretically more secure

I fail to see how that can be true. How will they validate that it is you on the phone?
Many countries are worse to deal with than the US at the border during entry. Ironically, most of the worst ones are wealthy / "low corruption" countries, because they have well-paid, interested people at the border, who also don't like having their authority challenged in any way. The UK and Canada are both significantly worse to deal with than the US, probably my worst experience on entry though was Australia. IMO, the Australian government is maliciously incompetent at every level /and/ at the same time fastidiously aligned to their maliciously incompetent policies. A lot of folks in the West don't realize that Australia is closer to China than the US when it comes to digital freedom and privacy.

All the less-wealthy and "more corrupt" places I've traveled were far easier to deal with at the border. It's happened so many times I've lost count that the border agent didn't even look at me /or/ my passport before stamping a random page and yelling "Next". This doesn't happen in countries where the person at the border is well-paid and engaged in their job, it happens when they are bored, disinterested, and just want to go home. With one exception, all my worst border experiences were in wealthy countries. The one exception I won't discuss in detail publicly, but it was while leaving, not arriving, and at any rate wasn't due to their border agency but rather their secret police mistaking me for a journalist.

Another observation I have is that only foreigners really get the worst treatment, so this may be why I haven't felt so badly about the US CBP, while I hear from my non-American friends and acquaintances that the US is the worst one to deal with. I'm sure any citizens of the countries I've mentioned will be quick to defend them in the comments in reply. After all, when you're a citizen, it's generally pretty painless to get back into the country of your citizenship. As a foreigner you face more scrutiny and have less legal protections.
