It is a tweet posted in February 7th by ABC News:

Pres. Biden: "If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

Reporter: "But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany's control?"

Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that."

I'd say the effect sought to be achieved is pretty much opposite of imperialism. In imperialiam (as demonstrated by various histories), colonizer citizens get away with pretty much anything in the colonized countries. FCPA levels the playing field by making colonizers liable in the home country.
Not fines. Jail time.

I sat through so many anti-bribery training lessons over the years, I'm convinced companies use these to limit liability and scope the blame to the small guys. "But they were trained and should have known better."

I don't understand why wouldn't they want to perform this sabotage against their open enemies? Even openly?

I'm wondering why this didn't happen sooner.
Yeah. All nuance is out the window with this drama. Either you're one side or the other. Fabi seems to have been trying to take a nuanced stance, but it is being interpreted as him saying he thinks Hans cheated, which is not true at all.
What is the status of insurance of those pipelines?

If there's still someone obliged to foot the bill in case of a catastrophic failure, it might create an incentive to just destroy everything.

Of course proof of sabotage would get in the way of that, but the leaks are not particularly accessible at the moment.
Moreover, Marx's famous slogan summarizing socialism was "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

Harrison Bergeron is clearly set in a world where "From each" is not taken based on the productive skill of the each, but rather the skill of the each is brought near to the lowest of the whole. To each, less obviously is also flawed in this world. Rather than to the man's needs, each is given such that he is rendered equal with the whole.
When I was in Germany their Prime Minister (Gerhard Schröder) was deeply invested with crony capitalist Russian businesses. He was a big fan of Vladimir Putin and used some (valid) criticisms of George Bush and the Iraq war to push germany more towards dependency on Russian energy. You should start with that before railing against American's.
The article is paywalled for me but I'll update my comment.
If this were the ‘70s it would be plausible. But this seems unnecessary and hamfisted. We have Germany in our pocket policywise, so it’s really unnecessary.

But there could be an ideological angle or an insurance angle.
With today's browser implementations of WebRTC, you can proxy through a TURN server while still maintaining end-to-end encryption, but you can't proxy through any kind of customized endpoint/server, because each endpoint necessarily has the encryption keys as part of the session negotiation.

Chrome implements experimental user-space media stream processing APIs that allows you to build "end-to-end encryption" at the javascript level. But, to me at least, it's a bit hand-wavy to call that "end-to-end encryption" because the keys are created, managed, and accessible from user-space. And neither Safari nor Chrome yet support these APIs.

There's ongoing work on this: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/perc/documents/
> Are "high-ranking managers" not classed as "leaders"?

You can be a leader without being a manager, and you can be a manager without being a leader.

> Ideally I'd want the team to be feeling guilty, because I'd argue it's the team as a whole that should have been responsible.

I don't agree at all, and this is probably where we think differently about leadership, and why you don't like the article's conclusions.

When the team fails, it's the leader's fault. When the team succeeds, the leader lets the team have the praise and the glory.

Given that "most companies" are small, I would say yes - developers have access that would be terrifying to larger companies.
yes. there is no blackmail possible and there is no flow of molecules. everyone is worse off except influencial people in russia who do not control gazprom and perhaps the US, but their LNG infrastructure was at max capacity anyway.

Why is it that if I bribe government officials for myself I get jail time but if I do it for my business I just get a small fine?

Edit: This is an honest question. I understand that there can be prosecutorial discretion and that most 'crimes' go un-prosecuted -- I'm not likely to be "caught" for personal bribes. But given that this reached the threshold of administrative attention I'm curious why the DOJ doesn't coordinate efforts with SEC in cases like this.

I'm not saying the US definitely didn't do it.

I'm saying that the thing about being an armchair politico on a forum and not a member of an Alphabet Soup organization is that unless someone claims responsibility we won't know who actually did it until maybe a half-decade to a decade out when all investigations are concluded and the various international intelligence agencies and private journalists get the story straight.

They were very certain France hacked NASA until they weren't.

(Something like Biden's loose lips is only further cover for another cloak-and-dagger actor, state or private. Until and unless some country or group comes right out and claims responsibility, all manner of idea-tossing on this forum doesn't give us more than a well-shaped question mark on who actually did it).
He's saying it should be OK to be searched when leaving a store??? What universe do they live in? It barely makes sense to me and I said so. It obviously is not clear. No one is searched when they leave stores. That's insane.
Assuming "at scale" means you have no other option than horizontal scaling.

At this point differences between databases start to shrink. Most of the complexity and features are being moved to the application layer, and your database is becoming dumber.

More subtle (and frankly boring) features are becoming important. Like how cost-effective is it to run, observe, backup/recover, etc.

Honestly, I feel like most interesting stories are before "at scale". Stories about how you delayed the need to "scale" for several years (and probably saved the company by allowing to focus on product instead of infra). But unfortunately those stories aren't something people tend to brag about. Nobody writes stories about how they chose to be pragmatic and not scale because they could just buy a bigger server or add a caching layer.

That idea makes the implicit assertion that the only thing valuable about the code is that someone else might get it running in production, and not that they actually published their production runtime for the world to inspect, debug, and offer improvements to.
Correcting an incorrect assertion is not shifting goalposts.
I don't know if I use that to learn the language itself, but also, different people have different learning styles. What I personally do to learn new languages is write some sort of program that I know well. So for me, that's text adventure games. When I'm trying to learn a new language, I go and make a very simple one. This helps because you're not learning a new domain and a new language at the same time.

But along the whole "break it" idea... I don't know if you're an IDE person or a text editor die-hard, but I've found that rust-analyzer helps a ton. I'm historically a "vim with no plugins" kind of guy, but I'm using VS: Code with the vim keybindings now, and even if I'm not changing some code and getting feedback from the compiler itself, using rust-analyzer to go "hey what's this type here? Where's it defined, let's go take a look" has helped a ton.

That said, types help and poking around helps, but it's not always a panacea. Today I'm working on fixing something that doesn't quite work, even though yesterday I figured out how to assemble everything I'm supposed to need from this library I'm using. "It compiles it works" is a thing people say, and while I feel that way often, it's not true all of the time, of course.
"Isolation" right?

By making that boundary, you get "slightly safer" code execution in a multi-tenant environment.

I don't think the SEC has any prisons.

Different agencies have different powers. SEC can fine you, or even remove you from public companies. I don't think they can jail you.
A lack of reported harm does not imply a lack of the ability to harm.

"Siri, order medicine X and deliver to address Y" is a simple example of how a simple command - whether valid or not - can expose someone's medical history, and while an ethical reviewer (probably 99%+ of reviewers) would do nothing with it, an unethical reviewer could.
I’m sure the experiment could be repeated with correct data processing. The authors probably won’t do it, unless they think it will provide a positive result.
I'll take this as an A+ this . Joking aside, we really are just getting started and there are still kinks to iron out. In our core team we speak about 5 languages well enough to judge the quality of the conversations, but the others are more difficult to judge.
I'm well aware of V8 and pypy. I also really like Python as a language, especially with mypy.

It just makes me sad that in a world with multiple high-performance JIT engines (including pypy, for Python itself), the standard Python version that most people use is an interpreter. I know it's largely due to compatibility reasons (C extensions being deeply intertwined with CPython's API).

There is a really important (if not "magic") difference between JavaScript and Python. JS has always (well, since IE added support) been a language with multiple widely-used implementations in the wild, which has prevented the emergence of a third-party package ecosystem which is heavily tied to one particular implementation. Python on the other hand is for a large proportion of the userbase considered CPython, with alternate implementations being second class citizens, despite some truly impressive efforts on the latter.

The fact that packages written in JS are not tied to (or at least work best with) a single implementation is also what made it possible for developers of JS engines to experiment with different implementation approaches, including JIT. While I'm not intimately familiar with writing native extension modules for Node (having dabbled only a little), my understanding is the API surface is much narrower than Python, allowing for changes in the engine that avoid breaking APIs. But there is less need for native modules in JS, because of the presence of JIT in all major engines.
Canada makes similar mistakes. People imitate California designs in a Canadian climate and then find that the building is uncomfortable, and expensive to heat and cool. In many cases, builders will actually reuse complete designs without modification. Just madness.
This isn't a court, and it isn't criminal behavior. If it was a court and it was criminal behavior, we'd expect innocent until proven guilty and the benefit of the doubt. Which no one is giving Hans.
Russia has a motivation to kill the pipelines now, to increase gas prices now, as NS1 & NS2 are NOT the only paths to get gas to the EU. Since they are already down for "maintenance" (and we actually know some maintenance is needed), it would be a good tactical move to kill the possibility of NS1 & NS2 delivering gas, increase focus on the crisis now, and hope that this scares the EU into stopping supporting Ukraine.

Norway also reported drone sightings on their oil & gas fields. It would be very tactical for Putin to start taking out all EU supplies as much as practical, since he obviously cannot win on the battlefield.

My feeling is that this will backfire in the current information environment, in the short term only enraging the victims by making clear who is the enemy creating the misery, and in the long term giving politicians justification to say that Russia is an unreliable supplier. It can only work as long as there is a mystery about who is taking out supplies, and if any other facility than Russia's own are taken out, everyone knows that the culprit is Russia.

Also, Russia is so good at this that they have a word for it: "provokatsiya" or "provocation", 'A political event staged by an intelligence service on behalf of its government in order to accomplish some political goal. '.[1]

Russia also has extensive submarine capabilities and ports on the Baltic Sea. [2]

Means, motive, opportunity. That's my bet right now, given limited open source information.

> If you fling a charged particle like an electron through an increasing magnetic field, it will appear to gain energy.

“If I place a particle into an energetic system, it gains energy.” This is an even worse example than the one in the article. You’re trying to define a closed system that is stealing energy from outside the “closed system”. That’s the same logical fallacy that leads people to think they have discovered a Perpetual Motion Machine. How do people get into advanced topics like Time Translation Symmetry without understanding (and being able to explain) the basics?

As a fellow vegetarian, this was my first thought as well.

I don't think this paper can be taken as sufficient evidence to rule out nutritional deficiencies that could contribute to mental health issues (e.g., decreased B vitamins, iron, vitamin D, tryptophan, etc). I know that when I diligently take these kinds of supplements, I do have more energy and sleep better. However, the "humans are destroying the world" sad feelings that drove me to stop eating meat persist, making me wonder if this is quite confounded relationship.

The central long-term economic goal of the US in Europe has been to shift European energy consumption from Russia to the the US and allied producers. On the short term, sabotaging the pipelines prevents lifting the sanctions imposed on Europe (i.e. opening the pipelines) which would also tend to decrease profits on each LNG tanker.

In addition, disabling Nordstream 2 is a stated US agenda, right from Biden:

> " US officials have made clear that they would move to suspend Nord Stream 2 if Russian President Vladimir Putin orders an invasion of Ukraine. They’ve been much less specific on how that would be accomplished. “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it,” Biden said Monday when pressed for more details. "

> Sabotage makes sense, but by whom?

President Biden on Nord Stream 2 Pipeline if Russia Invades Ukraine: "We will bring an end to it."

Initially I thought it's a mistake. Russian company took over the German one after the sanctions on NS2, so they could screw something up, but there are too many leaks. It's 100% sabotage.

> Meanwhile European powers don't seem to have an incentive

Poland, Belarus have. Yamal is becoming critical as well as Brotherhood (Ukraine).

> That would leave Europe's non-Russian suppliers of natural gas: Norway and the US.

You can still walk right up to the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum. It always has a big crowd around it. Don't bother taking a picture of it, there are lots.

There are certain rockfaces in Australia covered with authentic hieroglyphs, discovered last century sometime. Some of the glyphs used only appeared in dictionaries in this century. Experts who have examined it date the vocabulary used to late period, close to 2000 years ago, just a few centuries before hieroglyphs were abandoned and forgotten.

People in antiquity did get around. Just not always on an industrial scale.
When I left Fitbit we were still using MySQL as the primary datastore for all tracker data. Admittedly only in the 10s of millions of users, but tracker data was stored at sub second precision and indefinitely. It was definitely up in the 10s or 100s of TB. Unlike most DBs it was more write heavy than read heavy.

Our scale has handled by sharding based on userId and geo. We could dynamically shift the shards when scaling the cluster up and down. I wish we had open sourced that sharding layer, it was pretty nifty.
> Russia drove its tanks into Ukraine, nobody made them

So what.. just a meaningless war in a meaningless country, a for the same reasons nato bombed yugoslavia in 1999 and noone cared.

Americans drove tanks to afghanistan, syria, libya, a bunch of eu countries helped them, nato forces are still in syria, and again... noone cares. Yes, some individuals maybe do... especially people living there... but not the EU as a whole.

But now, suddenly, while still having our soldiers station in eg. syria (i live in a small eu country, so we're not eg. france, that we'd had our soldiers occupying a bunch of african states), the media told us to sacrifice our standard of living, work, so the government can take money and send it to ukraine, to be cold, to not shower as much as we wanted, for what? A country that was just a few years ago was the most corrupt country in europe, full of nazis [0], and all the provocations were instigated by the US [1]? We should forget all this, fuck our livelihoods for some geopolitical shitshow?

This is the reason why I have a certain degree of confidence in Apple’s privacy aspirations. Apple makes their money primarily by selling cool stuff to end users. Their business model heavily disincentives mass tracking.
