For Russia, in the against you should add that they mostly owned the pipeline, they could have switch it off without destroying it and destroying it means not being able to use it to sell oil to Western europe against. I can't see any way it would make sense to them, even accounting bad calculation like the Ukraine invasion.

Yes, and the one on paper forms almost always was used for "required".

Besides, when it didn't, normally there were many of them, so they were numbered instead of an asterisk. The asterisk itself was all but reserved for "required".
... but spectacularly failed to blow up one of the two Nord Stream 2 pipes.

Instead, they put two holes in one of them, and a hole in each of the two Nord Stream 1 pipes.

Lest anyone forget, Nord Stream 1 is the pipeline which Russia had been throttling and shutting off and on for months, before finally stating that it wouldn't be reopened until sanctions are lifted - which is obviously not going to happen anytime soon - while Nord Stream 2 is the brand new pipeline which Germany declined to authorize for use following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

As pointed out by Putin, that leaves Nord Stream 2 ready to start sending sweet, sweet Russian gas to Germany as soon as they say so.

Incidentally, the attacks were carried out just in time for the inauguration of the Baltic Pipe from Norway to Poland and close to its southward bend off Bornholm, in the Danish EEZ, AND half a kilometer from the SwePol cable between Sweden and Poland, in the Swedish EEZ.

I guess besides aiding Putin's stick-and-carrot gas policy in Germany, the US also wanted to send a really strong message to Ukraine-supporting Poland and NATO-hopeful Sweden.
Ah yes of course there is no way of coercing someone in a PoW scenario.

I agree, which is why I asked what data is being collected. If it's like, "a user launched Firefox version 105.0.1 and has Pocket disabled," I've got a tough time caring. Telemetry is genuinely useful information. But if it's like, "a user with IP 123.45 opened MyFavoriteReligion.com and spent 20 minutes at that domain" then it's bad news. So, I'd like to know what's actually being transmitted.

I have just about zero experience running any kind of BSD systems, but I just wanted to know a bit more about this:

> With Linux, at least with the distributions that I like for other reasons, I have to always supervise the updates, because the updates frequently break things

What distributions have you run into these issues with and how often is "frequently" for you?

I'm running Arch Linux on my desktop and bunch of servers, for more than five years each one and can count the number of breakages on one hand. On the other hand, I run Ubuntu on my laptop and stopped counting the amount of issues I've had with upgrades.

But I'd consider that amount of breakage from my Arch installs very infrequent, but maybe I'm comparing it to the wrong thing, as as I said before, I don't have any experience with BSD systems, maybe breakage there is even more uncommon?
I think it's possible to 'grow' in something you don't care about or are not necessarily your core strengths.

Like I never had much interest in DevOps, but previous jobs have put me in a situation where I had to learn it and although I sucked at it at first, I got better at it, and since it seems to have become almost an unescapable part of a full-stack web developer's job nowadays.

Also I haven't cared much about the domains of several companies I've been hired for or clients I've been put to work for as a consultant (like I actively tried to avoid the insurance and finance industry, and ended up doing work for both). Hasn't stopped me from learning that anyway, and I can follow along (mostly) with our client when they talk about wealth management concepts now, when I was totally lost in those conversations when I first started.

And at a previous job I knew nothing about developing phone systems, but did a little work here and there, and eventually became the department's 'phone systems expert' as I became the only person left in the department that knew enough about those systems as people transferred or left. I handled the role just fine until I left for another job. I don't do anything with phone systems now, but I do have a better understanding of how networks work because of that job, which has been useful.

It is an opportunity cost, though. I have lost some of my other skills because of time spent in these roles. Like I think I'd have trouble going back into video game development after spending so much time out of it, at least at the level of seniority that I would kind of need in order to get sort of in the ballpark of the salary I'm currently making.

I'm still making games in my spare time, but I don't have a ton of free time anymore, so progress has been slow and the games I've been working on have been tiny in comparison.
What Are the Odds of NFT Embracing Cryptocurrency Mining?
because they didn't want to switch careers part-time into something far outside their original job description. that sounds borderline illegal as constructive dismissal anyway (ie that job you took? we're cutting the hours on that to half, good luck seeing as much career growth opportunity as you had expected when signing the contract)
I have one of these. It looks nearly identical but mine is green.

I went motocamping for 3 weeks with somewhat limited access to electricity at times. I think my longest stretch was 3 days of camping with no access to plug in and recharge the pack. I was charging my iPhone 11, AirPods, and an Apple Watch. My phone was plugged into my motorcycle to charge/maintain while riding. The battery was positioned in a tank bag exposed to the sun for 8+ hours of riding per day.

When I eventually used the battery's full capacity, any charge from the sun was basically useless until I was able to plug into line power again. I think after nearly a full day of riding after waking up to an empty battery, I might have gotten 3% on my phone when I stopped for the evening.

When I returned home from the trip, I experimented with recharging the battery out on my apartment's veranda on the top floor with lots of sunlight all day. It took 3 or 4 days for the battery indicator light to move up 1 segment. Too long to be useful in any meaningful way.

My point in all of this, is that these cheap "solar charging" battery banks are worthless unless you can live with waiting 2+ weeks to maybe charge your device. The panels are likely larger versions of the stuff used on calculators and should not be relied on. It's a marketing gimmick.
For me it's the borrow checker and lack of shared mutable states stopping me from doing dumb things. Add on things like cargo build manager and crates and it's like a delicious roast dinner smothered in gravy.

> a camera stack that is open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP

What is a "camera stack"?

A software library (perhaps with some binary modules)? Or does it extend to hardware as well? Like some sort of spec "here's what each IO PIN number should do".

Also, what type of cameras are we talking about? Is this for built-in cameras on embedded devices (such as phones or laptops)? Is this for people connecting their reflex camera through USB in order to download their high quality pictures? For all of them?
It is a problem even when it comes to aesthetics. Turning up the whitespace 300% makes things worse, it's not even just a subjective design choice.

Some quick reading of SearxNG's docs* and testing out an instance** shows some very good search results.

> If you run your own instance, it's better to share that instance with friends or family so they can dilute your search queries with theirs, and it makes it much harder for your instance to be tracked the same as they'd track you. Or, you can use a public instance which is better for privacy, but worse for security and customizability.

Is there no way to clear all state after each query, or every 24 hours, etc? I'd wonder if sharing with family just means you'd build a closer data association with them. Or, what kind of things do you find important to customise (and why?) that aren't configured by public SearxNG instances?

Yes, there is an arms race, an all-arms race of which bio is only a part. I reccomend the following two books, The Sheild of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of History, and The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade.

The revolution in technology has shifted the global array of national security threat models away from just the nation-state. The low barrier to entry to tech like the latest in bio or cyber research means now a single actor with no grouo or state affiliations is now capable of producing some destructive event on a national or even global scale.

On the backend, this is one of the quiet whispers in the halls of power in DC as a justification for the surveillance systems being enabled. You ask if there is an arms race. No, there are many arms races going on right now.

Just like nuclear, if its possible they will consider building it, potential side effects be damned, as long as we have some force multiplier the "enemy" doesn't.

There is most certainly a massive causal chain between physics and what humans call "math", because everything humans do is determined by the laws of physics. The causal chain leads through millions of years of evolution and tens of thousands of years of culture. "The numbers 1 and 2" are a complex web of analogies that have not actually been demonstrated to "exist" outside of our minds, so evidence that alien mathematicians would have words for them is much weaker than our intuition would suggest. The question that must be answered is "Given the constraint of precisely modelling the world in a useful way, to what extent are all rule-based systems isomorphic?"

Responding to your second point, I'm afraid I can't agree with you that unfalsifiable propositions are "useful" discussion contributions - especially not with an "open mind". The only criterion on which such propositions can be judged is whether they are fun to believe, and that is a very dangerous muscle to flex.
Who says they did?
No, gold actually has a real demand derived from legitimate commercial uses. If it didn't, and the only reason you were buying it was to try and dump it off on other investors for a profit, then it would have the properties of a Ponzi. Make sense? It isn't exactly the same as Charles Ponzi's scheme, but it is similar enough that the layperson understands what it means when you say Ponzi. There isn't any actual profit in the system, all the "profit" comes from other investors.

There's a few problems with this. For one, your prop noise is going to be almost entirely masked directly ahead of you, because there's a whole submarine in the way. Isolating "sound of our propellers from in front of us" from "our propellers behind us" is certain to be extremely difficult if it's not completely impossible too.

I've got no idea where jcampbell pulled their information from, but I've never seen anything to even suggest it's possible to use your own prop and machinery noises like that.

> European states are already looking to buy gas from anywhere but Russia

Yes, because Russia is temporarily sanctioned. The moment the sanctions are lifted, Russia will still have the cheapest prices due to proximity and infrastructure. And Europe, of course, would resume buying from Russia, although they will try to secure better backup solutions in case of a future incident.

Blowing up the pipeline makes sure that gas flow will take a considerable time to resume. This gives leverage to alternative suppliers to negotiate for long-term deals with EU. With long-term deals in place, it will take several years for Russia to regain its dominant position in the European energy market.

> And finally, there is a huge risk involved for the US.

What risk? The Baltic Sea is controlled by NATO. It's fairly easy for the US to find or create a window of opportunity to carry the operation.
There's no need for the repo owner do anything: they already indicate the license. GitHub even shows a simple explanation of the license in the repo's main page. GitHub has all the data it needs to respect the license. If their trained model can't reproduce the license for the repo a fragment comes from, then they've failed in their social and legal responsibilities.

I do understand how ML works. I know it's probably not possible with how it's currently done. That doesn't make it legal or ethical.

It would actually be great for everyone if it showed both the license and repo. Imagine you pull up a great function with Copilot and want to explore the source for more insights. You can't with how they've done this.

Sure but we're acting as if a few people sticking to Firefox for the sake of it is going to save it, it's not. Not unless Mozilla fixes its underlying problems like the management and development roadmaps.

The fact that Firefox got backdrop-blur support in mid 2022 speaks volumes about Firefox's priorities.

I get the point you're trying to make, I use FOSS because I believe more people should be using it and if I don't, who would? But that doesn't work when it comes to Firefox. There are a lot of good free and open source browsers right now, no matter what engine they use.

If a chromium based FOSS browser gets popular enough, there are better chances of it surviving and breaking away from Google's monopoly at the same time. It does not matter what Google does with Chrome, as long as independent forks are able to exist within that same space and can get just as big.
I don't know how this works in the US but here in Germany your work contract roughly specifies what you do for work.. so for a software engineer it would be developing software and similar tasks.

True, but that's the investor's problem, not the employees. They'll end up losing their jobs in the end and move on, but it's not like people in other tech company never lose their job either. The good thing when it eventually happens is that there will be a lot of senior Rust developers that are needed by most company to even start doing things in Rust.

Is their work pointless? Sure. But aren't Googlers' jobs not pointless too? That's the sad state of the 21th century: most people have a bullshit job but they need it to pay their mortgage.

> On this basis, we consider that Facebook would also have an incentive to foreclose its rivals from access to GIPHY.

That seems like a slightly more intelligent wording of the same bad argument to me. There’s no real limit on the supply of gifs on the internet, and they aren’t really in particularly high demand. In fact they’re already falling out of fashion with younger users. You’ll be hard pressed to find many people under 25 using them at all.
You can, but at what cost? When do you see friends, or cook, or exercise, not to mention sleep.

I’m not saying some personal time shouldn’t be dedicated to learning, but if the vast majority of your week is spent on a dead end, the time you have left to keep your skills sharp pales in comparison.
> Danish researcher finds that one is more likely to die after taking the mRNA vaccines, even after accounting for the protective effects against covid.

Please be careful talking about it like this, it has the potential to be misleading. This is too strong of a statement, and the researchers did not make a claim this strong. They have a small sample for which the number of people who died with placebo was 1 person less than the number of people who died (not necessarily of COVID) after taking an mRNA vaccine. With 31 people in the sample who died after taking the vaccine out of 74,000, the potential for noise is high, and they are simply suggesting that we should ask the question again with a larger sample, they are not claiming to have conclusively found that the odds of actually dying with the vaccine are higher than without.

The real problem here is that hiring is a giant pain for both sides. In an ideal world, you would quickly quit that job and hop to another. If you didn't do that, they would quickly hire you and both sides would move on without much stress. But changing jobs/employees is a big deal involved insurance, retirement funds, dozens of hours of interviews over many weeks, etc.

My advice for anyone in this spot is to quit quickly. I've left a number of jobs within the first month because it was an obvious bad fit. They likely weren't happy about it, but we'd all be miserable after 6+ months of me not performing how I know I can. Don't be sentimental about the work that went into getting the job, just go find a good fit.

as an European I would prefer the EU to spend more time building cheap energy sources such as the one from nuclear power plants, or if they really need to regulate stuff just tax energy use. I don't understand why, if I want to waste energy, I am not allowed to. They could introduce progressive taxes where I pay higher percentage the higher energy waste I have.

if you think doing something like this makes sence -> do they regulate multiple TV? Lets say I buy 4 tvs and have them play at the same time. Why do we allow people to do that but regulate 1 better resolution TV.
