I am not saying that it was anti-Russian, just that it was an attack on Russian infrastructure ("anti-russian-infrastructure" isn't the cleanest wording, sorry).

However, we don't know who did it. It could have been the Russians. It could have been the Americans. It could have been the Germans. It could have been an extremist climate activism group. We have no idea.
Agreed! This discussion is not going to have an influence on our final decision. I do think it's possible that there's some selection bias going on and the risks aren't as bad as they look. But it's certainly enough to give us pause.
Well you're actually paid a fraction of every X dollars of value you produce
There’s a reason for the saying "going postal"
I'm currently of the belief that this doesn't stop them, or they wouldn't so happily image your devices and send you on your way at US borders.

Considering we didn't know governments were using and abusing Cellebrite until recently, and didn't know about the 0-days they hoard until recently, I'm going to assume they can decrypt phones/disks until proven otherwise. The government has a _lot_ of resources.
I really dislike this idea of it being a 'central American' value simply because that hasn't been the case since the founding of America. There have always been people who have full access to free speech and the rest of people have 'Free Speech*'. Hundreds of years of minorities being punished for saying the wrong thing or being in the wrong place while the strong and wealthy get away with whatever they want.

Even now that's the case where if you're wealthy you have more speech than others. You can call people all sorts of vile things and sic your fanbase on them, you can mouth off to police and if you want to you can sue people into the ground. The rest of us can get thrown in jail for vaguely insulting a man in blue's honor.

How quickly people forget that our political apparatus had a woman harassed and jailed for laughing at Jeff Sessons.
The article is really about something called the NGEU:

> ... Thus, as the pandemic raged, a novel form of European solidarity was agreed in the form of a €750bn bail-out fund, Next Generation eu (ngeu). The money is a form of redistribution: it is borrowed by the eu, but will in effect be paid back by its richest members while being doled out to its poorest. This gave fiscal capacity for southern Europeans to stimulate their own economies in the recovery.

I can't imagine something like this is on the table now. Germany's balance of trade, peaking at 2.5 trillion euro in 2015 is now almost zero. That's fine for a country that issues its own currency, but not one like Germany that doesn't. The days of German largesse are in the rear-view-mirror now. Europe will need to find a way to cope without its economic Willy Wonka.

https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/balance-of-trade

Also, the title in the article is:

> A German aid package revives calls for solidarity with poorer EU countries

which is not as sensational as the HN title.
That's not the reason why.

The woman was deemed partially responsible for the burns, because she was, the real reason is that McDonalds knew that people burnt themselves before, but did nothing to inform to customers of the risks.

People know that stunts on social networks have been punished, but keep making them anyway.

Which is not exactly a smart move and doesn't limit anyone's free speech, I am still free to say the same things, just not in front of a WorldWide audience.

Social networks will report immediately any "not conforming" opinion to avoid being the next McDonalds, but on a global scale (billions in fines instead of the 640k dollars MD paid)

> I’ve never looked at someone’s degree, only the recent projects they’ve worked on.

So you can't say whether its actually a valuable signal?
I have seen a business run with this dealing with mobile phones targeted by organised fraudsters. Moving "too fast" to notice and whoops profit is £0.2m not £3m.
Police have indeed been ambushed and killed as a result of such claims.
If only it was that clear cut.

As you well know, with Rosetta and other technologies (heck, also Wine) that's just not true. With Rosetta you can take any (or most) Mac programs compiled for x86 and just run them on M1 ARM. Support gets even deeper, as with the Rosetta update you will be able to even run x86 binaries inside a hosted ARM virtual machine (!).

So it makes sense for people to be confused as to what's actually supported, and to add the clarification when this is not the case, because some might also expect this could be the case with say Virtualbox.
It's 2022 and we are still running installers in VMs ? Give me a pre-installed VM with cloud-init, it'll be fine, thank you.
Cool material, but happy to have been exposed to okso.app as a (newcomer?) free online sketching tool (a-la excalidraw, a bit...)
They don't actually show any frames of the footage illustrating what they mean, but I've seen one explanation that what was seen is actually an artifact of the camera: the brightness of the frame changes mid-capture, and that it makes look like the explosion is happening elsewhere.
I had to look this up, it seems it was related to the myth of a LOX tanker truck spilling/crashing and turning the road asphalt itself into an explosive. Seems kinda weird to omit this though as it's not really arcane knowledge (Pretty sure "The Martian" had a scene where they blow open an airlock with something similar).

Other mythbusters censors include dropping an entire episode about credit card hacks/fakes because Visa and friends threatened to pull ads from the network, and another episode where they accidentally caused their test mice to cannibalize each other.
If their aim was killing civilians, they would have chosen a busy time. They chose the least busiest time. Also, to clear the bridge of all traffic to then attack, would reveal your intentions to the enemy. There was no way the bridge was being destroyed without casualties. Civilian deaths are always bad, however if this act shortens the length of the war, that will save countless more lives than the ones lost on that bridge.

Meanwhile, Russia retaliates by hitting residential buildings with rockets. I am eager to hear what you think of that.
>If non-income based taxation worked, societies would be using it.

They do, very successfully and most of the government services you and others have aurgued with me about income tax providing are not infact provided for by income taxes in the US. Roads, Schools, Police, Fire, etc almost none of that is funded by Income Taxes, it is funded by Property Taxes, Sales Taxes,and excise taxes.

In the US income Taxation is used for 4 main things. Social programs, National Defense, Science (Nasa, etc) and Administration / regulation

>the democratically owned and controlled society

Ahh the religion of democracy. also known as 2 wolves and a lamb voting for what they will have for dinner. This idea that democracy "provides" rights is laughable for anyone that understands anything about history which clearly you do not

>you are still paying the $4 trillion Iraqi war debt that you accrued for the privilege of murdering 1 million Iraqis, and your infrastructure is failing.

It si very ironic that you defend income based taxation, most likely because your socialist mind believes that is the way to "eat the rich" never realizing that income based taxation is the fuel for the engine of the war machine, and absent income based taxation the government would not have the ability to use the war machine in that manner. You are defending the very tool they use to murder people but you are soo blinded by your jealousy of the rich you believe would get ahead under a non-income based system you fail to understand that the rich WANT an income based system of taxation, that income based taxation is regressive (not progressive like proponents of the so called progressive income tax claim), and that a single tax system could be used to create universal income, and would actually help reduce income inequality

Smash the State, Eat the Rich[1]. The freed market, without all the distortions and giveaways by the state such as price and wage controls, licensing and safety requirements, limited liability, costly regulation, capitalization requirements, quantitative easing, financial regulation, zoning requirements, protectionist trade policy, intellectual property laws, and various other barriers to entry all promote centralization and cartelization, is truly an equalizing force

Yeah. I've tried to learn a few programming languages without having a project and it just. doesn't. stick.

Ever.

Even reading a great O'Reilly book being sure to complete and understand the examples isn't enough. Without that immediate practical application, it's no more educational than any other form of entertainment, and much drier.
The article is about the single market, which long predates the single currency.

The Economist in the 90s was pro single market: https://www.economist.com/leaders/1997/03/13/single-market-s...
Critique here:

The audio has a couple loud bangs, the first of which scared me to death because I thought something hit my car! Filter and/or re-record mic drops recommended :D

Second, it was a good story but I really would have liked to have a go at solving the problem myself before it was explained to the friends. Perhaps you could have given us, the reader, the problem first and the entire thought process of solving it, with the end of that explanation containing the solution, perhaps that's where you could cut in and explain the solution to the friends. That way if we the readers figure it out ahead of the narration then we get that little bump of dopamine!
Are there any statiatics to support such claims?

E.g. number of median salaries to buy a median house or avg price of sqaure foot to median salary (to account for larger house size)?
Also try to go outside of regular hours, often meaning finding alternative transport. At least in Angkor Wat you don't have to take a bus and then outside of those core hours you have lots of alone time.

Granted this experience was pre-iPhone so the specific example may not hold!
France has a talent for self-harm although they are not the only ones.

Ultimately, Germany succeeded better because they acted better and more productively.
None by default AFAIK. They can sometimes start a civil lawsuit against the state.
> Well, with Rossetta and other technologies (heck, also Wine) that's just not true.

Rosetta takes an instruction stream from another processor and translates it to an instruction stream for another processor - that's exactly what I mean - it needs translation.
> How this plays out over time

How this plays out over time is either of the two: 1) The protests fail, either due to the momentum fading or the government suppressing 2) The protests succeed, and the country gets a US backed government. Along with all the privatization, removal of labor protections and social welfare, decline in life standards.

Unfortunately, there hasnt been any case of the protesters somehow being able to avert that while still succeeding. Because such protests and movements need organization to succeed. And if there wasnt an indigenous, powerful source of such organization present in the country for a long time, the organization will be coming from those who are backed by the US.

A US backed government would mean hell for both Saudis and Iranis - Saudi Arabia has VERY extensive social programs that literally guarantee everyone's comfort, life and education. Iran does not have those, but it still has enough such programs and the traditional cultural relations and social fabric is still alive. Those tend to get destroyed in the first wave of privatizations and 'free marketization'.
What motivation could we have? Most British people you talk to on the internet are distinctly unhappy about Brexit and, if anything, are motivated to talk up the single market
My wife speaks Spanish fluently and we often travel to Spain.

Spain as such may not be exactly poor, but quite a lot of people are living in very subpar conditions. Andalusia in particular has a lot of visibly poor natives. Even African migrants do not want to stay there and if they manage to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, they immediately travel north to France/Britain/Germany.
There is no magic behind Scylla, mainly lots of hard work, hundreds of years of engineering, based on the former C* design which is based on Dynamo/Bigtable.

The JVM is part of the problem, not all of it. The main issue is that it hides the hardware and makes tracing harder - instruction level and block level. At Scylla we strive for efficiency, every operation is tagged with a priority class for the CPU and I/O schedulers. Folks are welcome to read the blogs about those topic. Lots of details and hard work
If you keep posting flamebait to HN we are going to have to ban you.
One big benefit of directly compensated on-call time is it removes much of the difficulty of covering shifts.

Instead of everyone feeling like they have to keep track of who owes each other a shift covered, it’s just paid out. In vacation hours or cash. So if you pick it up, no stress, you’ve been paid for it.
Markets are alive and well. Not as prolific, but not dead.

Not really sure what your point is, though? They don’t typically have audio recordings so not sure I see the relevance.

The police harrassment of Caroline Farrow for expressing opinions on Twitter is another example of a heavy-handed authoritarian injustice.
There was a DW article that presented spain as one of europe’s poor countries. Cant find the link unfortunately. I swear these people get a boner when throwing around the word poor.
The name Belphegor reflects some of the feelings about how it looked, I guess, as it is one of the devils/demons in Christian apocrypha
Even those of us following that literature were surprised by the sudden improvement in image synthesis.
Yes I felt the reason for the numbering system may not even need an explanation, due to it being all weirdly alien!
Destroying infrastructure is part of war, Ukraine has obviously lost a lot of infrastructure as well.

Not sure about the pipeline, whoever did that seems to have made sure to do it in a manner that leaves enough ambiguity for everyone to just imagine whatever they want as the cause.

For the bridge, I'd be be surprised if it wasn't someone at least intending to work in favor of Ukraine. Maybe it was planned from the top, maybe it was done by irregulars, maybe it is somewhere in between like special forces on a really, really long leash. But it is used to bring in troops and supplies, seems like a smart target, right?
Why would they risk a leak that threatened the operation just to promote a stamp?

It doesn’t seem like it would take hours to grab a screenshot off of a TV broadcast and photoshop it onto a stamp, without advanced knowledge.
> Most British people you talk to on the internet are distinctly unhappy about Brexit

Most voted for it.

If you're in a vacuum chamber that's your problem.
> The difference between stable diffusion and GPT-3 is the former is open source, meaning you don't have to pay tributes to one party.

That's not what open source means, and Stable Diffusion is not open source, since its license discriminates against fields of endeavor.
yes. we had our free speech overdose in Germany so our post hyper-nationalism, post fascist constitution balanced your freedom of speech with the freedom and peace of mind of your neighbor. no incitement of aggression against others is a Good Thing, if you can't dissent in respect then shut the fuck up, §130 StGB.

freedom of speech with no obligation for respect only serves the political bullies.
> Deceptive tactics — like offering leniency in exchange for a confession or falsely telling children they can go home if they confess — have been identified as risk factors for false confessions, and young people are especially vulnerable to falsely confessing as a result of these tactics.

The great american justice system
It absolutely is. I just find the timing interesting since it happened soon after. Its not like the bridge just became an available target, its been there the whole time. Still, those responsible may not have been able to pull it off until now so it's probably just a coincidence.
I'm not 100% sure but I think one of our treaties with the Netherlands is that we enforce each other's laws/court judgements.
I think it's a good idea to assume that everything might be compromised.

This should not stop anyone from working towards encrypting everything. Even if it can be decrypted or avoided it still increases the overall resources needed for surveillance.

The actual solution, long term, needs to be a social one. As a society we need to realize the sensitive nature of those devices and find reasonable boundaries for law enforcement.
ScyllaDB uses AGPL, a good and valid license
Are you ok with BDS and all other Palestinian human-rights advocacy being nuked off the face of the internet for "anti-Semitism" within moments of handing the anti-"stochastic terrorism" powers to the government ? What about any video of IDF doing anything wrong? Even the recent articles about the killed Palestinian journalist could be used for Nefarious Purposes
Chess tournaments could use the services of already existing casino anti cheating experts. But I imagine that would be very expensive and not feasible for most events.

I can't think of any effective way to curb online cheating in chess. Ultimately, online chess with money prizes shouldn't really exist.
The OP article refers to the following research:

“As described by leading scholars, stochas­tic terrorism involves ‘the use of mass media to provoke random acts of ideolog­i­cally motivated violence that are statistically predictable but individually unpre­dict­able’ (Hamm and Spaaij, 2017)”

maybe inciting “distributed mob violence” would be a better way to translate it for laymen.
That's true, but it's also more competitive to get into PhD programs. You have to have research potential and strong undergrad academic performance. OP says he is self-taught.
Note that it is a "single currency", not a "common currency". In the same way that the "single market" is different from the prior "common market".

So if the UK had joined at the inception, it would have started as a common currency, but when the UK decided not to join, it reverted to the preferred form of some of the other members, namely the "single currency".

I imagine that the rules would have been different with a common currency, possibly with the national currencies not replaced, and still operating in tightly tracked bands; but I guess the UK fate there was written when it dropped out of the ERM as part of "Black Wednesday", caused by it entry peg being overvalued.

So a common currency may well have allowed for more north vs south flexibility...
Good. The sooner people start questioning everything, the better. The only times I hear "misinformation" mentioned are as part of some political agenda anyway, usually along the lines of "don't listen to their misinformation, listen to ours".

The only possible solution is letting people think critically and decide for themselves (I know how unpopular that idea is here)
Interesting topic.

I tried to mimic that sound design using Glicol but winded up getting something different.

For those who are interested:

1. go to (https://glicol.org)

2. run the following code:

// ----------------

o: sin ~freq >> mul 0.5;

~freq: sin 0.2 >> mul ~range >> add 50;

~range: sin 0.4 >> mul 1 >> add 2;

// ----------------

3. tweak the numbers to get different sound

He can say that. It's not a valuable signal for a student if recruiters aren't looking for it.
Go to Sevilla or Malaga and look around. Houses have old facades, people drive old cars, pavements have been last repaved 20 years ago and meeting a highly educated beggar is a common occurrence. That is not how a wealthy community looks like.

Spanish economy may be nominally big, but random folk in the streets do not seem well off. The contrast to, say, Austria or Denmark, where most of the population seems to live just fine, is big.

My friend, a nurse in Madrid, makes less than 1000 euro net. She and her son live in a small Franco era apartment where one of the tiny rooms does not even have a window.
> In theory you would find more Ukrainian sympathy in Crimea and not in Russia

Not necessarily. It is close to the Caucasian region and Russia has been involved in hostilities there for centuries.
Even though this is very serious, I actually lol'd when I saw this.

I can't buy "prescription" pet food from Amazon without an actual "prescription" (for whatever that's worth -- nothing) from a Vet, yet anyone can buy drugs that will kill you.

The irony is abundant, but the results very sad.

I don't know how Amazon should handle this, but given their heavy-handedness over pet food, this seems more than a little absurd.
More like: "I make my living in part by doing this. I don't personally find it valuable."
That's correct. That's the reason why a lot of civilian infrastructure in Gaza becomes a legitimate military target during Hamas-Israel confrontations.

There are other costs. One study I’ve seen found that writing libraries with typed generic code too longer to write, but we’re slightly faster to use. I’ve found that changing peoples badly typed code is worse than changing similar dynamic code.

In short, there is very little empirical data on this, and it’s almost entirely anecdotal. My gut feeling is that if typing were a huge benefit it wouldn’t be so hard to prove.
I'm currently experimenting with fly.io and quite like it. I'll try it for more side projects.
Could be a false flag, we don't know now and I don't think we will get the full truth.
If it was the Ukranians they would never admit to it as the bridge is used by civilians and civilians died in the explosion. The same reason why Russia won't admit to its own terrorist actions in Ukraine.

As for the explosives, besides corruption, one could improvise in all sorts of manners, especially with the know-how and resources of a state actor.
