This makes zero sense to me. What does Russia get by destroying their own pipeline? If they wanted to shutoff gas, thats just a turn of a valve.

Russia looses massive leverage by no longer being able to deliver gas, even if they wanted to.

Prior to this, if the public got cold enough, they could tell their government "forget Ukraine, we need gas. Go agree to get it or we will vote you out ASAP". Now.... There's no point in settling anything with Russia, since you're not going to get their gas anyway.
Technically, payments which do not influence an outcome but merely speed up a decision are allowed. So bribing a minister to throw out all competing bids on a contract would be illegal but paying some clerk who’s dragging her feet on incorporation paperwork would be legal. In practice this line is a lot more blurry and they will charge companies even if they bribe for routine services. Walmart for instance paid a pretty big fine for paying to get building permits faster in Brazil. Companies will always settle because they don’t want to report to shareholders that a massive verdict and fine could be coming up.

There’s also a duress exception, like if they start arbitrarily arresting your employees you are allowed to pay to get them out. This is basically what happened to Halotel and Viettel in Tanzania.
Don't worry, your computer's in a better place.
I grew up during that time. In the late 80's, early 90's teenage BBS world, 286's were considered lame. You could understand someone being stuck on a 8086/8088: they couldn't afford to upgrade. But for a few more bucks, you could get a 386SX instead of a 286 and do way cooler stuff.

Interesting dichotomy there. I have a modern Toyota and BlueTooth works just fine.
I run a job platform. This scam is pervasive, especially with contract work. We've had to get really good at recognizing patterns because their covers are really good (even faking passports and work history).

Many of the big contract platforms are dealing with this too. Hiring managers are getting tired of it and are 1) not hiring as many contract workers and 2) not using platforms to hire those workers.

Unfortunately, this hurts small companies more since their hiring practices are so lax and there's a crop of new ones every few months.
There was an interesting case where a bunch of Android messenger things got a WebRTC based remote code execution[1]. Signal got dinged to the extent that an attacker could trigger it with no action on the user's part.

The root problem here is that users want lots of features. Each added feature, particularly super complex ones like video, takes away from security. There is not point in spending a lot of time on your own code if you are going to end up invoking a whole lot of code that you can't control.

Apple's privacy is a marketing farce. They run data centers in China that provide full access to the government. Their anti-ad campaign was simply a push to gain dominance in the space themselves. They make a big fuss about end-to-end encryption but don't even bother to end to end encrypt your photos and backups!

I actually worked at Apple a few years ago in security. I was wondering why we didn't E2EE photos. The reason seemed to be - from what other engineers told me - is that it was at the behest of law enforcement. Lot easier to cooperate with LE and comply with NSLs when you can simply hand over the data they need.

Until Apple end-to-end encrypts these two things, it's all for naught. It doesn't fucking matter if your HomeKit data is E2EE if someone can take a look at your nudes without any cryptographic barrier.

Take that for what you will. Having worked at both companies during my career in a security capacity, I see no reason to trust one over the other wrt cloud services.

N.B. There are people at Apple that are very passionate about security and privacy. I was privileged to work with these people during my career. They really try to - and do - make a difference. My post is not an attack on them, but on the wider vision of the company, which is somewhat hypocritical.

My dad had a Tandy 1400LT - no hard drive, just whatever disk was inserted - I played Space Quest 2&3 and Leisure Suit Larry (I wouldn't let my own kids play that one at that age, but I honestly had no idea). I was upset it wouldn't play Space Quest 4. This triggered a latent memory of my first experience programming BASIC on it, putting me at 8-9 years old. I wish there was a laptop that difficult to use and durable today - my own kids ended up busting a raspberry pi 400 I got for them to mess around on.

It's so sad to see such a rapid decline. In the early 2000s every Samsung device I bought was well made and unbreakable.

Every Samsung device I have bought since maybe 2010 including my refrigerator and dishwasher have been total junk. I've had our refrigerator repaired so many times in the last 8 years it's just unreasonable.
Sure, and we have a variety of rules to protect those investors from making decisions based on fraudulent data. That's a good thing.
Pretty sure that not only every bank can do that, every bank MUST do that in case the account is under investigation.

It's a non-story.
Putin no longer sees this as an economic conflict, all decisions they have taken are against their economic interests, as is the war itself. They are currently killing the rest of their economy with mobilization for some south Ukrainian fields and destroyed towns. They stopped supplying gas and are running deficits at the same time. So assuming an economic motive is just wrong this has become a classic political conflict, the only use the Russian leadership has for an “economy” is as a political tool.

So this attack makes perfect sense, distrust in the West, confusion, no way back.
HUDs are the small part of the story. far more important thing is what sensors you have access to and what can you control? Car manufactures are notoriously behind and bad on properly expanding and standardizing both sensors and controls. So, it is impossible to deliver consistent experience and capabilities. Even in 2022, most manufacturer haven't still figured out how to do firmware update without using USB drives. You can't even use phone to unlock cars. These are not hard things, but car manufacturers just can't get around to do it given their ancient and inefficient supply chains and factories which are only optimized for price wars, not leap-frogging experience. CarPlay is great for music and may be some cute graphics of basic gauges but the real value ultimately lies in some level of self-driving, assisted features and holistic integration which cannot be enabled without having complete control of hardware.
> If you are implying that weather forecast is accurate months ahead

Nop. Hard as in a winter full of hardship, stress and problems.

> Everything further ahead than 7 days is pretty much rolling the dice.

And yet every winter it is cold here and every summer it is hot. Nobody can say which day will be sunny and which day will be stormy that far ahead, but clearly there are trends.

Cold combined with high energy prices will mean that a lot of people will go either cold, or poor or most likely both. Not so cold and so poor that everyone dies instantly, this is not a prequel to snowpiercer, but you know having a bad time.
I agree that bikes are a great way to dip your feet into maintenance. But everything is not swappable. There are a handful of "standards" for each part of the bike. It's not insane, but replacing a part often requires researching all the standards and understand what you have and what you could upgrade it to. Getting a new bike often requires getting a couple of new tools.

That said, if you ride bikes regularly but take it to the shop for maintenance, try doing your next service yourself. There are tons of online videos to help you. It will require an upfront investment of some tools, but they will pay for themselves the second time you use them.
Traditional Indian architecture has separation between outer zone and inner zones with different walls and roofs. Basically outer walls and attic roofs can heat up (and cool down with airflow) while inner walls and roofs will remain cooler. Also, the traditional clay-brick walls are much thicker than today's concrete blocks. Those clay bricks have much higher heat capacity.

Most people who live (and vote) in Santa Cruz prefer to be in a low density area. While I understand that some people actually like to live in denser cities, the majority prefer some space and privacy. This is not unreasonable.

Places like Santa Cruz have never had any real intentional urban planning, so building a lot of additional housing is going to overload the infrastructure. They would need to upgrade all the utilities, build more schools, and completely revamp the transportation system. Good luck convincing any long-term Santa Cruz residents that they should sacrifice their quality of life and live in the middle of a construction zone for years for the sake of reducing someone else's rent.

For students at UCSC, housing is somewhat cheaper and more available about 20 miles away in the Watsonville area. There are public bus routes. Of course, Watsonville isn't as fashionable. You can't walk to the beach and go surfing before class.
It is actually amazing jus how cheap the low end stuff is. Just look at pretty much anything.

Next step to think is that if they can make that for that price. What are we paying for when the price is 2x, 3x, 5x or more? Is the quality and longevity really similar or is there something shared...
I love maintenance and salvage videos. It is so addictive especially machines and electronics. I would recommend Diesel Creek videos ( https://www.youtube.com/c/DieselCreek ) which is really fun. I am in awe at some of the old American diesel machines and how resilient they are.

from the source:

"On September 24, 2022, the New Yorker published an article by Dexter Filkins titled “The Exiled Dissident Fueling the Hijab Protests in Iran.” In the article, Ms. Masih Alinejad, an Iranian dissident based in New York, claimed that “[she is] leading this movement” for gender equality and democratic freedoms. The article falsely argues that “Iran was brought to this point” by Masih Alinejad and inaccurately credits her claim that she is single-handedly leading this feminist uprising. The hundreds of women who risk their lives every day in the face of state violence to gain their rights and achieve justice are simply supposed to be her followers. We were surprised by this inaccurate and invalid statement that was given such prominence on your website. It is vital to bring your attention to some important facts that situate the current uprising of Iranian women in its historical context.

...

"We implore the New Yorker to return to publishing serious research and give credit to the real activists. We demand they take down this premature, poorly researched, and highly inaccurate article. We demand that, rather than aiding the co-optation of the movement by opportunists and disingenuous governments, accurate narratives of Iran’s grassroots, broad-based revolutionary feminist movement are published."

I agree with you. On the other hand, in the case of a native application, we can hope that the antivirus removes it. I hope that Microsoft has planned to update Defender accordingly.
The obvious solution to this is to remove the bottom layer so that the browser is not a layer on top of the OS, but is the OS.
This is a good point, and might actually be viable in some cases. Though I think most of those end up looking less like what we'd think of as repair and more like, I dunno, replacing the batteries in a remote control, or lightbulbs in a lamp. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's also probably not easy to engineer into a lot of products, especially without driving up the price significantly.
But the GP is right: state law is now forcing these places to increase their density. This isn't wishful thinking, it's the result of a dozen or so state bills which remove density limitations and give teeth to the Housing Element law. I think there's a good argument to be made that the correct people have already been convinced, and the NIMBYs are not winning any longer.

For those of you new to this:

In the context of a securities transaction, a manipulative act is one that sends “a false pricing signal to the market” and therefore does not reflect the “natural interplay of supply and demand.”[1] It is typically undertaken to create a false image that the security’s value is based on supply and demand, and thereby induces unwitting investors to buy the security. Market manipulation is regulated under a number of statutes and rules. Most notably, Section 9(a)(2) of the Securities and Exchange Act (Exchange Act), titled “Manipulation of Security Prices,” prohibits transactions in certain securities that create “actual or apparent active trading in such security, or raising or depressing the price of such security, for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such security by others.” [2]

The five pillars of revenue are:

1. Selling a thing.

2. Selling add-ons and upgrades to a thing.

3. Selling other things to people who bought one of your things.

4. Preventing people who are subscribing to your thing from switching to somebody else's thing.

5. Preventing your competition from commoditizing things and driving prices down.

(There aren't really just five, there is no one "theory of everything," it's just a literary device.)

CarPlay is obviously #1 "Selling a thing," manufacturers license it. But it could also be #4 "Preventing people who are subscribing to your thing from switching to somebody else's thing."

If automobiles all have their own proprietary interfaces or worse, Android Auto, people who drive cars may end up buying phones that integrate nicely with their cars and ditching their iPhones.

If my conjecture is correct, Apple is investing in CarPlay to protect the most profitable product the world has ever seen.

This could have been the beginning of a new Cliff Stoll Cuckoo's Egg thriller! I am dissapoint, but I guess "who has time for all that?" Interesting story nonetheless.

It brings to mind these immortal words (needs more line breaks but then it would be longer):

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

You can’t find examples because the treatments are part of the players private medical records and are not published. But it is as simple as getting a doctor to say that therapeutic use is required.
It’s a fantasy to think we can have modern society without some form of environmental damage, and it’s also a fantasy to believe that factory jobs would be less damaging to the environment if they were located in other countries.
And it's a great way to make the rest of Europe never give in to Russian no matter how much they suffer. If enough people in Europe saw their grandmother shivering in January, they might rise up and say hell with it, we need our gas back no matter what the cost somewhere else in eastern Europe. But now they can't say that because it won't get the gas turned back on anyway.
Just have both, an ad version and offer an in-app purchase for an ad-free version. That way you can capture both types of consumers.
That doesn't apply. Streisand effect is for people who want to suppress something. I don't care if you look at that Twitter. I just know that I found it unpleasant, so was just putting a warning out for others.
>Russia's greatest leverage was Europe needing their gas, and eventually agreeing to stop supporting Ukraine in order to get the gas turned back on.

That boat has sailed some time ago - you don't need to destroy something that's guaranteed it won't be used for decades probably, if ever again.

No country in the West will do any trade with Russia under Putin. There's simply no turning back when you throw diplomacy and international laws out the window, and hide under nuclear threat.

In my point of view this was clearly a message that ANY gas that passes through that sea might have the same faith - even in NATO territory.

It wasn't by chance that it happened the same day a new gas pipe was opened between Norway and Poland: https://www.euronews.com/2022/09/27/baltic-pipe-norway-polan...

Not to mention that if anyone wants to PUSH GAS PRICES UP, this is a great way to spread panic in the markets "oh no!!! that door wont open again!!!".

I only see positives to Russia in this event, not a single positive for anyone else.
No matter what your opinion on economic equality, letting fraudsters profit at the expense of their more honest counterparts harms the economic health of a country. Eventually workers will feel it too.
