Yes, it is clear you are talking about USSR and post-USSR RF. Again I don't know what's the point of picking a period with no real change of power, not even close to what seems possible in Iran.

Russian leaders were as quick to leave as any when shit hit the fan is my point.
> Someone told me in a bar on K Street the thing Vladimir Putin fears most is being hung from a gas station like Mussolinu, and I suspect that goes for all totalitarians.

> What scares me is I've met people like that at home in the USA.

I'm trying to give this a charitable reading, but I'm puzzled by it.

First, I'm pretty sure that Mussolini was shot, not hanged, but obviously that doesn't change the main sentiment.

Second, I don't think I'm particularly likely to be hanged, and not much more likely than the average USian to be shot, but both those outcomes do frighten me if I think about them. So, when you say "What scares me is I've met people like that at home in the USA", do you mean people who are scared of being shot or hanged, or people who think that their likely end is being shot or hanged? Or something else?

Since you're getting a lot of reasoned replies I assume your meaning is clear to others, but I'm really having trouble figuring it out.

The list does include Tesla. Additionally, discussing the political alignment of employees at Tesla and SpaceX is not relevant to the topic that, if you've been paying attention to the current events, is about content moderation on social networks.
Funny how shallow big company's support for free markets turns out to be when it comes to workers raising the asking price of their labor.

And yet the media just lap up their rhetoric proclaiming a "shortage".
This is also my experience. I would say that most Ocado warehouses are far less automated than that, that one is kind of a tech demo (but presumably it is an indication of where they are going).

Finance is a significant obstacle to this goal. Multiple times I have been told, “There is a budget surplus-does anyone have any nice-to-haves we should purchase?” More than once, I have suggested (modest) donations towards open source project X that enables us to operate. Not once have I succeeded.

Not a real charity. Not a real purchase. Good will towards something already free does not make a compelling business case up the chain of command.
If you throw rocks at a military unit and then chase them as they try to retreat, you’re fair game. Throwing rocks is no small matter. A single blow from a rock can kill a man. Not to mention that this was part of a series of demonstrations that had already devolved into outright rioting.
Status of the Druid ecosystem in December 2022
I've tried to stay mostly ignorant about the war for my own health - what has been released or talked about that makes people think Putin will launch nukes and destroy a bunch of land and cause untold death and destruction to numerous countries not involved in the conflict?

I'm not trying to be facetious or incidious with my question, feels like I need to worry more about paying bills and keeping my family fed but with nukes being talked about maybe I should be paying more attention.
Probably not a bad plan. Argentina keeps being an economic basket-case where they think they can defy the international banking system and do things their own way. They are a century removed from the good times of gauchos and beef but they have not adjusted.

Good on Uruguay to attract compatible talent with same language, similar culture, but presumably and importantly, a desire to be competitive and not just be complacent --people with drive.

Because you cannot eat money, or live in money.

A country can QE forever, but this will not put food on the table or shoes on people's feet. If people want those things, they must either be produced or imported. QE doesn't help with either of those. Production is a physical act, not a monetary one.

And if you want to import from somewhere, then you need that nation's currency to do so. Which means that in turn you must have produced something to exchange for that currency.

Not to downplay whatever workers are going through right now, but it's always good to have historical perspective when saying things like "all time low." These men in 1911 locked all their workers in a burning building, killing 146 people, and were acquitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fi...
So how many people do you need to get killed before you can be a murderous villain? You are actually underlining the point with your apologia for a dictator. It also would be nice if US presidents also took the consequences of their crimes. But your whataboutism is not really an argument for anything here.
In the US, tech companies tend to support Democratic policies and candidates. This probably has to do with their focus on issues like net neutrality and immigration reform, which align more with the Democratic party. Also, I don't think that political donations necessarily reflect a company or its employees' political beliefs, because generally a small group of employees at a company are responsible for a high percentage of donations. To the Democratic party, in this case. Which means that the frequency distribution for employee donations probably are long-tailed, with a relatively small number of employees making a large proportion of the donations, where the majority of employees make no political donations, and a small number of employees make a disproportionate number of donations.
> I doubt that countries bordering Russia are keen to have failed chaotic states with economic problems on their borders.

You're somehow ignoring that countries bordering Russia have already a failed chaotic state with economic problems on their border which also is systematically threatening with invasion, destruction, and genocide.

There are very good reasons why Baltic states are the highest per-capita providers of military and economic support to Ukraine.
> Then we just have to tackle resisting the urge to copy&paste `workstation$ curl -sSL https://randomwebsite.weonlyjustlearnedof/something-shiny | sh`.

The argument that goes around about "don't pipe curl into sh" is: "the website can detect that it's being piped into `sh`, and then run malicious commands which you won't know about".

I've never seen a compelling reply that explained why `curl ... > tmp.sh && sh tmp.sh` is practically any safer. -- "don't curl into sh" is significantly more specific than "don't run random scripts" or "always use a package manager".

Rather, even if I see that the script is running `wget https://example.com/program.bin`, it seems more practical that `program.bin` could itself run malicious commands at a later date.

You know how e.g. Netflix requires a DRM plugin in your browser, and some standard for that kind of thing got into the WWW standards? Now that AI with camera access is basically competent to tell if you're watching, it'd be natural to require something analogous to confirm you see the ads. "This website requires Telescreen(TM). Please enable it to continue."
The current Iranian government has strong relations with Malaysia - Iranian oil is often exported on tankers with Malaysian flags[0] and Malaysian politicians often lean pro-Iran[1][2] due to anti-imperialism, a Persiophilic form of Sunni Islam due to diffusion via South Asia, and business ties.

Indonesia's elite tend to be much more West dependent than Malaysia (and anecdotally, USC is the main school Indonesian elites send their children to, compared to British and Singaporean unis for Bumiputra Malaysians)

I also notice most Walmart stores have employees doing nothing and the stores are a giant mess
This makes sense, and sounds reasonable. I think people are getting hung up on 'qualities of tastes', believing (I assume) it is a value judgement. I read it as 'characteristics'.

As a result of proximity over time, the 'old rich' have developed unique cultural habits that are easily recognized as different to 'new rich'. Every group does this. Sure, there is good and bad to it, but it's a natural and expected outcome.
But an 'abusive service' might still involve misconduct by the user in question.

Suppose there is a service which allows you to watch free porn videos as long as you hand over permissions to star a bunch of repos using your account. Clearly, the service is abusive and should be banned. But isn't it also quite fair for Github to penalize the users? They knew they were handing over something of value when they authorized the access. Either they chose to exchange their genuine 'Github clout' for something they wanted, or their accounts are spammy in the first place (for example, if they created an account solely to access that service).
What parts of the Minsk agreements not being fulfilled led to Russia invading and who should be pressured to fulfill them? Since Russia claims they are not bound by the Minsk agreements why would there not being fulfilled lead to the current invasion? Should the current Russian government be trusted to keep their end of any deal involving Ukraine given their blatant breaking of the Budapest memorandum and the Russian-Ukraine Friendship Treaty?
None of that would happen if Russia was willing to stay within their own borders. If Russia did nor invaded countries around them again and again, this war would not happened.
As I posted in another thread on this topic, the problem of robotics is not just about labor costs as much as space and shipping costs.

Robots have always been able to do picking. But they needed items to be carefully laid out, easy to identify as distinct items, easy to grab without disturbing others. Amazon warehouses have incredible item storage density because they don't do that- they look like that one drawer in your kitchen that has every tool imaginable all thrown in there together. A very hard vision problem (which humans are good at) and a very hard manipulation problem (which humans are good at).

The goal is to build a robot that can pick as well as a human given that storage system or something approaching the density of it.

Storage density matters because Amazon wants any item you order to be as close to you as possible. They need this because shipping costs are the dominant factor, especially with one and two day shipping options.

(But it's also about labor costs because they simply can't hire at the price point they want anymore.)
You can, it's just not the undeniable default anymore.
I'm having a hard time thinking of any worker right that could be described as extravagant.

Uniswap charges a fee per swap. Generating billions of dollars worth of fake stablecoin transaction volume per day would cost you millions of dollars.

The comparison is suitable to show relative scale: $12B over some years sounds like a lot, until you realize it is a small fraction of the total crypto market. Likewise, you could paint VISA as being rampant with fraud by pointing to the many billions lost per annum in credit card fraud, but this represents a small percentage of all VISA activity.

Yes, though keep which board your question should go to in mind. Most of the horror stories you read about 4chan are about /b/ and /pol/. The other boards are tamer in comparison, though still not for the faint of heart.
You seem to be highly unaware of the CoD bubble. CoD is selling like hotcakes and is definitely the main decider for a sizable amount of people in their console purchase. The purchase would recapture the US market in the next cycle for sure. Even if MS rebooted their 2013 fiasco.

I just don't understand how this merger would be even entertained by the FCC. The only reason MS is lagging behind Sony is because of their own incompetence (outside of Japan). Allowing this much of a cross funding to offset incompetence shouldn't event be on the table.

The loudest protest voices I'm hearing are Navalny and Yashin, both very against Russian aggression, both imprisoned for it. Which voices are you referring to?

TV Rain didn't send any help to Russian soldiers.

and Russia still perfectly sells oil and gas.

And what's worse in my opinion is that we're harassing a minority in society over something that seems much less significant (at this point) than the truly beneficial things (universally - not just covid, and that address things that certainly cost the healthcare system much more) like vitamin D sufficiency, regular exercise and healthy diet.

I thought the point was to remove you from enemy torture and questioning. If you're dying slowly, then the enemy is just going to torture and question you while the poison acts slowly, or possibly even find a way to ‘cure’ you well enough that the torture can go on for a long time … which defeats the point, doesn't it?

The bar is much lower than this question implies for compilers. People don't expect them to take advantage of those SHA instructions automatically. Or even SIMD instructions - in the 25 years we've had SIMD instructions in consumer CPUs, compiler generated code usually can't exploit it ("autovectorize") well. (Though largely it's because we haven't updated our programming languages to be conductive to this...)

Ah yes, reverberations of the New Soviet Man. "Awaken the Child's Social Conscience" to come into a world where they don't need to be controlled, but know exactly what they must do already. ... "truly humane". Also the inversion student-teacher roles sounds like Paulo Freire and his opposition to the strawman "banking model" (Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1970).

The question comes ultimately to: Is Rousseau correct that adults are correcting and that children in nature are pure, or are humans naturally selfish and children must be taught goodness and culture for them to live good and well. I believe in the second mode; the first one end in disaster for parents and society.

Absolutely, payment providers block/suspend accounts left and right, and you're out of luck to find any humans to talk to. If you manage to find a human, 99% chance is that it triggered something in their "anti fraud" systems and then they'll simply state "We can't tell you why, and we can't unsuspend your account, sorry".

Best course of action I've found, is to build your initial MVP with one payment provider but as soon as you've validated there is a market and before you move on with other features, add a backup provider you can switch to at any time because chances are you will get blocked at one point. If not permanent, at least temporary.

If you're clever enough when you build the initial integration, you make sure to abstract out the specific payment provider so it's easy to plug in a new one. Shouldn't add too much complexity.

Sucks but the reality we live in...
Agreed. But note that a lot of the local solar capacity doesn't actually show up on the grid production numbers.

ie if you have a solar panel on your roof and mostly use it to reduce the power you take from the grid, all you will see in the national numbers is lower demand, not increased production.
Isn't this 20th century history 101 ? Not much to dispute here, but might bear repeating.
The Russian missile in question, the KH-101, has been in service for ten years, is air-launched rather than ground-launched, and has at least twice the range of the North Korean missile described in that article.

Why would Russia need tech from North Korea anyway? North Korean technology is based on what the Soviet Union shared with them.

As far as I can tell, Russia has strong domestic production capabilities for even their most advanced cruise missiles such as the hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon.

Shadow banning was not built to deal with bots. The practice was popularized in various communities long before bots were a serious problem.

It was built to deal with jerks who, when moderated, would sign up under a new account, or would repost the same content over and over again, or who would invade discussions, distract them with vitriol or out of context nonsense – even if each post as original.

The whole point of the concept was that the jerks would FEEL like they were contributing to the discussion, but maybe being ignored, while maintain a static history or login that made it easier to moderate them.
Living in a former colony that's been given abruptly cutoff from motherland and sent to the wolves (ha!) almost 300 years ago, I can tell you firsthand that culture and values actually _thrive_ in the face of adversity. I'd contend that comfort and the lack of conflict is actually the greatest long term threat to cultural identity.

China is patient, but in "Civilisation-game" terms I believe that the strategic, political and economic importance of Taiwan are much to high for the CCP leadership to passively ignore long enough for a "cultural victory".
