The US already sells all of the LNG to Europe that either side has the capacity to handle. It will be faster to repair the pipe than build out new LNG capacity. I don’t see how the US has anything to benefit from blowing up the pipe to inflate energy prices in Europe as it’s a significant drag on the global economy which has far broader impacts on the US economy than slowly and incrementally increasing LNG shipments would.

Furthermore Russia already has 1 pipe “down for maintenance,” so clearly limiting capacity is a huge bargaining chip for them.

I think it’s also worth considering Russia may have internal detractors from their current policies and blowing up a pipe removes it from the equation. It may have even been a warning to those internal detractors: “don’t speak up or we can take all the pipes off the table as bargaining chips.”

Russia benefits from the pipes being a high stakes game far more than the US.

But who knows. The CIA has done dumber things. I just don’t see the incentives for the US especially considering even if we could ship more LNG (it would take years) that would increase energy costs here. The Biden administration has to LOVE being isolated from the madness of Europes gas market at the moment, especially considering the elections and looming winter.
I'm saying I prefer different things in different contexts. Like if I am a student named John Bob Doe, and I set my preferred name to John in the school info system so all the authenticated websites say "Hi, John" in the personalized user header rather than something more verbose, that doesn't mean I prefer that they use only "John" for all but the most legal of matters. I want them to use Mr. Doe when etiquette suggests same, John Doe when introducing me to an audience (say, on stage or in the news), John B. Doe on my diploma, etc. This nuance is what the prefix/first/mid/last schema inherently provides for, in cultures that utilize it. You'd need a whole suite of preferred name fields otherwise.

That said, global inclusivity does seem to be more important.

According to your premise, NATO knows who did it.
I, on the other hand, cannot. (I can imagine many strange things, but not this one.)
I think it's pretty clearly not a bug. Chrome behaves the same way. Private session is cleared when all windows are closed.

I am curious though. What happens if you drag a private tab into its own window? Is state shared with the original private window? How is this communicated to the user? And what if I drag a different private window tab into the new private window? Does each tab retain it's original window?

Edit: you might be interested in the Firefox add-on Temporary Containers. You can open a new tab in its own container that isn't shared with anything else
Kathleen Booth Obituary
This study seems to ignore the most obvious differences between standardized tests and typical classroom grades. Standardized tests tend to capture a single type of work (getting the right answer, regardless of process) in a single moment (test day) with an objective evaluation (multiple choice). Whereas classroom grades take into account various sorts of work, including process work, over time, and inevitably take into account a variety of skills and performance beyond the “right answer on test day”.

Which is “better”? Impossible to say. Neither captures the whole picture. But the headline and apparent conclusion of the study is misleading at best.
The article actually proposes the same.
However, I see some issues with this:
- _Very_ common forms usually need to have optional fields - Addresses being a notable example, where almost everything is optional (example: PO boxes in Germany which don't need a street, or c/o notes)
- And because of that, any form that does not mark required fields - even if all fields are required - creates confusion about what needs to be filled in, since we are trained that forms can and will include optional fields. Nothing disrupts the flow more than validation errors, because then you need to backtrack.
- To make an implication of the previous item explicit: Just because it is obvious to _you_ that all things are required, it might not be obvious to the user.

At my last FTE job I started straight telling my boss that I had no growth goals for myself, that I was one of the most productive members of the team and was quite happy to stay where I was at since I didn't desire any promotions or anything. He worked with me to put some unmeasurable goals like team building or whatever so that the review checkbox could be checked. The one thing people rarely try is brutal honesty.

It sounds like OP is getting on the verge of the brutal honesty and part of that is acknowledging the actual assigned work makes them miserable. That's fine, and if you can't be moved to a better fitting role then it's time to go.

Another alternative approach is to not care about your work reviews, as long as you're not getting fired, and look for your growth outside your 9-5 job. For the 9-5 think of it as just a tool to pay the bills while you do what you want to do. Performing at around the halfway mark compared to the rest of the team is good enough to not get fired. Use your new-found time, mental energy, etc. to focus on whatever personal or professional goals you want. That's how I started my business and it's going great.

>You'll need to implement [...] , processes for people losing their second factor due to

You're exactly right! The pure TOTP algorithm is the easy part. The underestimated part is the extra overhead of human customer support of users that messed up 2FA TOTP.

Title of blog post asks: >So what's your excuse?

One excuse is the issue outside of 2FA algorithm: lost 2FA credentials has more complicated recovery than 1FA. Many websites don't have an established procedure to deal with 2FA customer support.

Whether the 2fA user uses a smartphone, or Yubikey hardware, or software like WinAuth, it's not the simple process like 1FA of "just let customers self-service their own password reset by emailing a temp password to the email address we have in our records".

Case in point is me. Back in 2020, my web hosting service forced everyone (admins) to 2-factor TOTP and I kept putting it off because I was fine with just using a simple 1-factor password to manage my accounts. But then the day of reckoning came for 2-factor and it happened on a day where I was juggling a lot of problems and was in a hurry to login to my admin control panel to fix a configuration issue.

I didn't want to use my phone number for 2-factor because I didn't want the hoster to have it (prevent spam) so I downloaded "WinAuth.exe" and did whatever extra steps I needed to log in. But because I was in a hurry and didn't take meticulous notes and screenshots of what I did to enable 2FA, I now have no idea how to log back into my email host admin panel with a "verification code". I guess they gave me a "secret" for WinAuth to generate TOTP but I don't remember if I copy-pasted it somewhere or saved it to a file I can't find.

Either way, I'm now a customer support ticket because I'm locked out of my account. I was logging in successfully for 15 years with 1-factor before 2-factor came along and complicated the password situation.

Yes, it was my fault that I lost my TOTP procedures but that's not the point. The issue is that 2FA helps improve security but it also adds underestimated extra customer support issues and small websites can't deal with this extra workload. Just copying some trivial algorithm for TOTP doesn't solve that.

At various points, I've thought who my manager is doesn't matter. I'm the same person, and I'll have strong output and progress either way.

But then I got a great manager with a great manager over him. Suddenly, I knew what it was like to be supported properly. For the first time in over 10 years things clicked and made sense.

Turns out, mediocre managers do have a real impact on me.

How does it do little to diversify these fabs? The current situation is that if China invades Taiwan, the entire Western world is compelled to engage militarily over Taiwan's high end chip fabs. It cannot be overstated how much we depend on that, if TSMC operates in other countries, we don't HAVE to engage in WW3.
I don't know how you claim that you have not made yourselves the arbiters of truth after posting tweets like https://twitter.com/yegg/status/1501716484761997318

"At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation"

and

"we also often place news modules and information boxes at the top of DuckDuckGo search results (where they are seen and clicked the most) to highlight quality information for rapidly unfolding topics"

Your post here and your tweets tell completely contradictory stories, which only harms your credibility more.

A search engine does have to make a judgement call on what results to rank over other results. However, making that call based on anything but relevancy to the user's query means I'm not going to take your search engine seriously. If anyone but the user is deciding what "russian disinformation" is, you've already lost the game.

Personally, that's fine for me: I don't have to take my search engine seriously to use it, and I dont turn to search engines for my news anymore. In fact, I think the only things I use engines for these days are a replacement for the StackOverflow search bar...
I agree completely. This is a great analogy. It makes the intended point very succinctly.
It would be a high risk play but Russia is likely the one to lose the least from it if caught given their current position. Russia is also a nuclear power so even if the US had proof they may not want to escalate the conflict that much. There's also the question of the truth even mattering since in the age of constant online propaganda you can influence enough people to have an impact even if the documented truth is otherwise. Then again the current US administration may feel the risk is worth it for a better chance in the upcoming election.
> Personally I think the concept of growth is a scam to get people to work harder for less.

I've certainly seen this employed as a way to argue against wage increases. "If we're going to pay you 15% more, how are you going to add 15% more value?" Sadly this rhetoric often works on people because it sounds so obviously intuitive at first. Thing is, jobs can become more valuable even if they're exactly the same, and the employee provides exactly the same input from day to day. The market decides the value of a job.
I think in this case we're looking at a required input with an optional lookup workflow -- if you have that extra piece of information, you can take a shortcut.

I'd approach that bit of UX by asking the user to provide one of the pieces of information required to proceed: either the name, phone number, or booking number. Depending on what they provide, the flow proceeds to the appropriate next step.

In this example I would probably structure it so that if they can only provide the name or phone number, the next thing they see is a disambiguation / confirmation dialog, which also shows the booking number. One of the fields is required, but it doesn't matter which one. In cases like this I'd like to indicate completion by enabling the previously disabled "next" / "proceed" button.

This fork in the flow can then merge back into "standard" flow of requiring the booking number to proceed -- keep the business logic / implementation simple, regardless of whether the user enters the booking no directly, or it is looked up by the system.

Meta is getting creamed by TikTok and the market in general without the need for regulation by European bureaucrats that you haven’t elected democratically.

They could just as easy create regulations which are impossible for startups to follow that actually cement big tech into power unintentionally

If you want more enforcement, vote in government in your own country. At least we might be able to fix that later.
> Thus, if this tools spits out someone else's code verbatim it is a definite copyright infringement.

That is not true. It can be verbatim and not a copyright violation if it can be shown that the expression in question is strictly utilitarian! I literally provided a quote from that AFC article that says this!

There's even precedent that prior art nullifies a copyright claim, as seen in Johannsongs-Publishing, Ltd. v. Rolf Lovland:

"Johannsongs failed to offer admissible evidence to rebut Ferrara’s analysis, so there is no genuine dispute of material fact as to his conclusions that Söknuður and You Raise Me Up are not substantially similar and most of their similarities are attributable to prior art."

And this was about music, not software, which has always sat uncomfortably between utility and expression, if only because it is some kind of writing. No one is claiming copyrights over Photoshop filter settings or other inputs manipulated by sliders or buttons!

Technically, the article links to the WKWebView class. So it sounds like they aren’t directly using WebKit, but rather WebView, a cross-platform API that delegates rendering to the OS preferred rendering engine, which on Apple devices happens to be WebKit.

> I have watched people just get sucked into the rabbit hole of browsing for themes for the their browser while accomplishing exactly nothing after being overwhelmed and paralyzed by the choices

When done in the physical world this is called decorating, I guess theming is just a digital version of hanging a print from Ikea on the wall. When I do this sort of thing, I usually do accomplish something, because I like looking at pretty things, doing so makes me happier, making my things prettier helps me feel a bit happier when I look at them. Whether that has value depends on perspective, though I feel if it doesn't then that perspective is a pretty dismal one. It's also a way to make an abstract and alien thing feel a bit more familiar and "one's own", and computers are plenty alien and intimidating for a lot of people.
Perhaps an open mind can observe and receive with grace, to see a more whole picture.

Every place has something to teach us, something we can learn. There’s a lot of prejudice and distortion to work beyond, so curiosity does us well.

There are some things you must experience to understand. I think to write off a place completely for largely inflated reasons is missing this.

Even if you disagree with the administration of a place, you can meet a lot of people who may change your life for the better.

Yes, my biggest problem with how promotion processes work at big companies is this.

How you're supposed to perform at your currently level is pretty well spelled out by your manager - exactly what your expectations are, etc.

However, you're supposed to perform at the "next level" prior to being promoted. Expectations are less clear here.

This leads to you doing a lot of things you think will get you a promotion (most of which is very valuable to the company). However, it gives the company an easy opportunity to say - oh, all that extra work you did was great and much appreciated it - but that is not "next level" work. No promotion. Try again next time. Also, no, we won't tell you what will get you promoted. Keep guessing. Hopefully you guess better next time. Sorry for your loss and our gain. Goodbye.

It is orders of magnitude easier to just get hired at the next level at a competing company. And, on top of that, you'll likely get paid much more, too.

Copyright is our current framework for rewarding creativity and encouraging innovation. It fundamentally depends on the assumption that protection of creative works is possible and feasible. That assumption is what's under assault by copilot and AI systems in general.

It's easy to forget that protection of creative works is only a means to end, not the goal or ideal state.

I believe AI systems will be able to help us build a new system that can track attribution of ideas and identify predecessor works from derivative products. This attribution could then form the foundation of a reward system. This is just one possible future.

While I was still in college in 1999 -- I figured out how to pair a local ppp device with SLIRP on the Sun machines we had shell access on over ssh, enabling me to bounce internet access through our CS network, which got access to a few things we couldn't directly access from our dorms.
