That is the strongest case, but I'm still confused by the seemingly conflicting claim that Putin is susceptible to a coup but only if there's a pipeline. Don't Russian elites have nearly as much to lose from this war continuing with or without a pipeline?

What exactly would the pipeline change in the these elites calculus, willingness or ability to stage a successful coup?

The pipeline repair cost estimates are much lower than the cost of an ongoing war plus oil embargoes. That is, a coup now benefits these elites roughly as much as it would have with a pipeline.

I grew up in a village in India with most people with very low income but pretty large population around. I almost never heard of a bike theft. I wonder why places like US and Netherlands have such large incidents of bike theft?

In books, my primary gripe is the one I seeded above. My secondary gripe is the abysmal state of IPR management: I know a book editor/commissioner/rights-rep and the payment contracts for Kindle are scandalous. It seriously de-motivates a lot of authors.

Enough, that you can get this insanity: three forms, all annoying:

a) volume I and II of a 3 part trilogy available, not part III, except in e.g. German

b) volumes II and III of a 3 part trilogy available, not part I.

c) either of a) or b) but with the entire 3 volume set available as one book discovered *after you buy parts I and II (or II and III) uniquely

Now, I know some of this is down to IPR and economy-specific rights management, it's not all Amazons fault, but its seriously annoying.

There is a version of the fraud in Amazon goods: its people selling $1 guides to books under the title of the book concerned, or a $1 review, or a number of scams which pass through the "too much hassle to reclaim" filter.

I've also had Kindle withdraw books from sale, after I've bought them (like the '1984' incident) which is typically because of a major IPR or production issue. Sometimes, they'd rather stop selling than be love-bombed by the spelling and format issues from readers.

I helped somebody publish through KDP and the other side of the deal, doing e-books and print-on-demand is also a nightmare of a different kind. They need you to use abstruse elements of the PDF spec, to set metadata, and positional accuracy of barcode for ISBN is amazingly finickity. All of their production tooling is built around 'most likely path' which means Windows, so doing this via Latex/Calibre/PDF tools in linux is a nightmare. I wound up taking the same work to a print-on-demand specialist I could actually talk to, to resolve most of this. The people who have to live in KDP have all kinds of hack scripts to fix PDF metadata to meet exacting demands, which seem really abitrary at times.

These people claim to have drilled a well, and are "finalizing plans to conduct an extended flow test". No numbers, though.

Desert Mountain Energy has a well that produces about 4% helium, 4% hydrogen, and the rest is mostly nitrogen. They barely mention the hydrogen. The helium is far more valuable.
Separating out 4% hydrogen is possible but complicated, and requires energy input.

There's a huge industry in drilling holes deep into the ground, for water, oil, gas, sulfur, and heat. The US alone has over a million oil wells. If there was concentrated hydrogen to be found, you'd expect that more would have been found by now.

Yes, this. I’m sure many creators are happy to get a pile of praise, but it’s completely useless to me to pull up the comments on a video and see 90% “Wow, ur amazing. This is true talent!”

The video often is amazing! The talent is many times top-notch! But I pine for the days of Slashdot, with their categorized moderation. You could hide all the “+5 funny” comments and only see the interesting or insightful ones.

In the case of machining videos, I want to see how others solved an issue the video dealt with. Or alternative tools that could do the same thing cheaper. These comments do exist, but are often buried. And Google only lets you see additional comments in little dribbles.

This is a truly horrible state of affairs.

I don't think you've picked up the argument being made there, which is that, being a pipeline, the Norwegian Navy wasn't constrained to one particular spot to disable it: it runs seven hundred and fifty miles under the Baltic Sea. The author of this post is saying Hersh doesn't know what a pipeline, not that the USG doesn't.

Try another paragraph. Let's interrogate it. For instance: why is the Norwegian Navy allocating a minesweeper, a large ship that is certainly tracked by the Russian military, to serve as a diving platform for a bunch of EC-UBA divers? Why wouldn't they use a civilian ship instead?
>IMHO (and bias disclaimer: Rubyist here) this is why Rails took over web and Python took over academia / ML - Python is about being correct, Ruby is about being adaptable - so Python is better suited to the well-defined-hard-to-do stuff, and Ruby is better suited to the poorly-defined-easy-to-do.

I see it the other way round - Rails took over the web because it offered the one true (correct) opinionated way to do web development (plus some great marketing and timing around a wave of Java/PHP disillusionment plus github taking off etc). At the time Python had many competing web approaches some going back to the 90s with no consensus about what 'correct' even was.

I don't see much difference between Python and Ruby on the correct vs adaptable continuum when other languages are taken into account. And often see Rubyists being much more purist in their views of eg Object Orientation etc and regard Python as a dirty collection of pragmatic hacks.
Context changes. There are various homophobic slurs that used to mean something else but now have a new, extremely hurtful meaning. And nobody tries to use the previous definition except in bad faith to be a pot-stirring asshole.

By the same token, nobody is talking about British chimney sweeps when they say blacklist. Unlike the first example, I don't think people are trying to be hurtful by using blacklist. But it's not hard to connect the dots of "black = bad, white = good" and see why people dislike it. It costs you nothing to switch terms to blocklist/allowlist. Or change your git default branch from master to main. Thinking about the feelings of someone other than yourself isn't being over-sensitive. It's being human.
This comes with a huge caveat: You must explain it in enough detail for anyone encountering it to understand why it's dangerous and what they should be doing instead, if at all possible. The documentation must at the very least be where the name is defined. "But why?!" is exactly the wrong thing for a developer in a hurry to be thinking.

I was reading this article and thinking the same thing.

My friend had an expensive electric bike. It got stolen. He's a teacher but his wife is a well paid doctor.

He posted somewhere that the bike was stolen. Surprisingly, someone contacted him and told him they found it.

It was really strange the way the "finder" offered to return it. They had them meet them in another suburb 30 minutes away. They requested a substantial reward. The whole thing was strange.

It makes me think that there are people who live in a grey economy that steal bikes because they aren't hurting someone in the same way that breaking into a house or stealing a car would hurt someone (or worse). Bikes are a luxury good at the high end, and that's what my friend lost.

Bike thievery is a gateway to a decent income when you have no other choices. At least that's what it seemed like when my friend had that experience. It seemed like it was a well thought out scam that was done by someone with intelligence and desperation.
This is really well implemented. So fast! I don't want auto-play though. Should probably turn that off by default

The US controlled a lot of Social Democratic groups during the Cold War. Remember the European Left was overwhelmingly either Communist or Third Campist Socialists (non-Communist Marxists) in the first decade or two after WWII. Ever since then, the CIA boosted both Atlanticist Soc Dems and New Leftists, the latter perhaps being anti-American on the surface but undermining trade unions and socialist structures.

And now nearly every dumbass Western "progressive" thinks NATO is some holy defensive force and imperialism is somehow only something far lesser powers do.

Moreover, Stoltenberg´s DAD was a pro-NATO Defence and Foreign Minister.
You're right about the positives that could happen, and that occasionally do happen. The problem is what happens most of the time.

As you mentioned yourself, advertising is adversarial. It's a negative-sum game between competitors, and has a lot of nasty externalities. I have some more specific thoughts on this, and after posting them on HN many times, I eventually collected them in a blog article:

http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html
Oh my God, this comment shows up on a lot of these threads about software correctness and I can't disagree more.

* Today, modern software is failing left and right. It's a serious problem and it's extremely frustrating. In part, this is because software industry has abysmal correctness practices. In part, this is because when software engineers write code correctness is an afterthought.

* Software correctness, is not easily measurable, and therefore cannot be approached as a metric, instead should be approached as a mindset. Software correctness is about designing systems such that bad things cannot happen by definition. When approached this way, seeing instances of unsafe ideas is sufficient red flags and should be removed. This is because the fact that unsafe constructions exist is sufficient evidence that unsafe behavior exists.

* When unsafe code is written, it can be shown that it "works", but this takes effort and engineering time. When things are designed such that they cannot fail, it doesn't take effort and engineering time to make sure they "work". This is why designing from the beginning with correctness in mind is superior than writing crap code and then debugging later.

* You say working with good code is a luxury, but it's actually the opposite sometimes. Sometimes you can write code that works 99.9% of the time and call it a day. This is a luxury. Some of us can't. Sometimes it really is the case that if software fails 0.01% of the time someone will be physically harmed. In cases like this some software engineers scratch their heads because they know how to fix bugs, but they don't know how not to never add bugs in the first place.

Why did I write this comment? In case you wonder:

* You say some people have code purity complex, which you use pejoratively. But in my experience, some people also have code impurity complex such that they think somehow they're better because they're capable of dealing with crap code without complaining. It occurred to me your comment lacks self-awareness in this regard.

* You say "developers will be sitting home fuming", as if this out of some abstract religious principle, when there are concrete, sometimes mathematical reasons why certain code purity concepts exist.

* You say "code purity is a self-limiting decision" without realizing writing code with correctness as an afterthought is often a more significant self-limiting decision because it increases the cost of the software in terms of maintenance and refactor cost.
You need to work on your patience, or else work on your google-fu. "what chemicals were spilled in the n crash" seems purposely obtuse, if that's literally what you went with.

"what chemicals were spilled in the ohio train crash," meanwhile, brings up a page of relevant results on Google for me. Setting the custom range for the query from Feb. 3 (the date of the event) to two days afterwards still shows numerous relevant backdated results as well, including some from the stories I posted herein.

Publishing unpatched bugs is unethical, so no.
This functional limitation was eliminated from consideration long ago: it’s very common to want that functionality. There were options considered for still denoting nesting, e.g. start all nested chunks with @nest, but this was decided to be inconveniently verbose. I think & is safe from being inconveniently verbose, but you can’t sanely use that without the functional limitation.

On your example: nesting is not about the sort of encapsulation you think it is—that’s incidental at best. It’s perfectly reasonable to say “this chunk of styles is about <em> elements; and when they’re inside <li>, do this”. The specific example you’ve given is also unrealistic with all three rules touching the same property in this way and two mutually exclusive (that is, li and em cannot both match, in any DOM), and I wouldn’t want it written with nesting at all, but rather like this, for much-increased clarity:

li {
color: blue;
}
em {
color: green;
}
li em {
color: red;
}

Reminds me of an old joke about Ford vs Microsoft. We seem to have come full circle. Abridged version:

> At a computer expo, Bill Gates compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, 'If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

> In response to Bill's comments, Ford issued a press release stating:

> “Sure, but would you want to drive a car that for no reason whatsoever would crash twice a day?”

> Do you find that better tested code is more easily refactored?

100% - I am 100% for really good, fast, compartmentalizeable testing that tells you exactly what's broken when it breaks. I am 100% for making people very aware that tests should never require another test before to run to make the test work. It's confusing and bad! Good testing makes refactoring painless, and I love that. It's the implication that test order requirements happen because a developer sucks, that I think is incorrect, and fundamentally displays a misunderstanding of what "good" software is! Good software in my view, primarily works. Everything else is secondary to that.

Works is really in the eye of the stakeholders, in my view! It is fuzzy! It is possible to convince stakeholders the problem they have with the code is, incorrect, and then the code magically "works" again. It is possible to refactor people's expectations and have them think that code without good testing, doesn't work. I find that to be the exception rather than the rule.

These are of course all just my views and others have good points and will disagree.
