Putin was actively attempting to repair relations with western democracies during the early 2000s. 9/11 happened and helped spur two American-led, endless wars from which no clear goal could be defined. “The West” focused its geopolitical efforts and energy into these conflicts instead of dancing with the Russian President.

Meanwhile, Putin was intent on making his mark in history and likely became disillusioned to playing nicely with “The West.” He likely did not feel comfortable with the lukewarm attitude towards Russia and the US’s preoccupations with war combined with the EU’s indifference towards Russia allowed Putin to arm unsupervised.

We saw him beginning to seek to close off all ingress points into Russia, but we didn’t understand its significance at the time. The huge swath of land that encompasses modern day Russia has been invaded a multitude of times through history and via these geographic “gateways” that exist on land that were mostly under soviet control during the Cold War, but now cannot be adequately controlled by Russia without conquest.

Putin put Russia into a state of readiness for future invasions, banking on the fact that quick takeovers would receive limited backlash from western powers and the international community. The invasion of Georgia closed off one of these gateways, a successful invasion of Ukraine would have closed three including the one in Crimea that Russia “annexed” (read: stole) in 2014.

I do not blame the Russian people for Putin’s actions - which he needs to be held responsible for - and only wish the Russian people could finally enjoy democratic elections and they can finally put the days of needing a “strong man” in charge behind them. I think at that point will be able to welcome Russia back into the global community.

This is a broken culture problem as it's extremely perverse for technicians to do this. It degrades technologists in general as a trade and profession and it reinforces negative class stereotypes about people in service jobs. However, it does imply a business case for a tech quartermaster service for families who can afford it.
The concept of the free market does not exist in modern American society. Free market relies on the concept of supply and demand being the sole basis of an economic system. Amazon's lobbying efforts to congress. Strongarm tactics for establishing warehouses in small towns with promises of high pay (effectively forcing a large population of a towns workforce to leave local jobs, building a reliance on Amazon within that community as few other businesses can provide what Amazon provides).

Amazon has the money and the power to bend the market to their own will. That's not a free market. They have the supply, and they'll force your demand to them one way or another.

Goes to show that you should never just trust "it's encrypted, bro". You need to PGP your messages at the very least.
Is PGP crackable by quantum computers? Will there be hardening against those kinds of attacks in the future? Since, if the messages have been hoovered up in encrypted form, it's just a matter of time until they get decrypted.
And this appears to be done for just about all web traffic they can get their hands on... see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center
Yep, maybe it was the same. And maybe it wasn't. I'm don't know how doctors at a hospital would be able to determine that. I'm pretty sure it's not one of the things they're taught in medical school.
But then whoever successfully creates a company that replaces Amazon will be wealthy. If the goal is to try to make sure no one becomes and outlier success, we can't have that. :)

People complain that some people get extremely rich but fail to realize that they do so by increasing the average standard of living for a large number of people. Amazon provides conveniences that did not exist 50 years ago and it does make people's lives easier, provides more free time, provides jobs for a large number of workers, provides companies a way to get their products to customers, etc.

> Why is there even a review system at all?

I don't create articles these days; it's too much like hard work.

You used to be able to create an article by making a redlink wikilink somewhere, and then clicking it - that would take you to an editor. The new article would appear in mainspace. Do you have to "volunteer" to appear in mainspace? Are all new articles deemed to be "draft", and subject to review nowadays? Or are some users allowed to create new articles in mainspace, and others not? If so, what are the criteria?
Comparing a fake image of some volcano and lava in the middle of the ocean (?!?) with the real deaths of people now dying in Gaza is peek Western journalism. It's why the West has ideologically lost its grip on the Global South, and deservedly so.

Later edit: It might have helped if the author or the article had included his ethnicity at the start of the article, that way the stupid Gaza comparison and the futile attempts to white-wash the IDF would have made more sense.
When ChatGPT writes your ad copy.
Maybe it was always the case, but it feels like reporting what people say instead of what happened (independently verified) is way, way up.

Most people looking at that headline will take away that a hospital exploded, and the clear implications from it. Reading the article won't really dissuade you from that.

I don't even really thing it's entirely malicious (which is part of the problem), it's the absolute desire to get the "scoop" in a world where everything is broadcast live on Xitter.
How do you imagine the "forcing" would happen, hypothetically speaking?
"The free market" will always result in:

* Companies doing what's best for their profits; not what's best for people.
* Companies becoming so large that they are literally impossible to compete with.
* Customers choosing what's cheapest and/or most convenient for themselves, regardless of human/societal/environmental cost.

Defending this concept of a "free market" is an excuse for saying "making money in a way which doesn't hurt the world is too hard for me so let's not even try".

That yelling fire in a theater is dangerous and that is quite literally what the NYT and NPR did.

It's not always a joke. There's dozens if not hundreds of people who believe they're cracked the compression problem by "just finding the offset of your data into pi". It is a recurring problem online: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=compress+pi+offset (DDG actually did better than Google here which is why I link that), and sometimes explaining to the proposer why this doesn't work is quite difficult. Sometimes you end up reduced to "Well, just implement it then if it's so easy and amazing."

(Fortunately, pi compression is not particularly amenable to one of the other basic "tricks" of fake compression algorithms, which is failing to count filenames or other metadata as part of the compressed data set, if you use them in the decompression algorithm. Pi "compression" is, in practice, a much better data expansion algorithm than a decompression algorithm. So you don't generally have to deal with having to explain how they've still failed even though their file sizes seem smaller.)
>It’s a non-profit largely funded by tax payers.

Is it actually government funded, or does it sell services which the government pays for?

I dont know if it is Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, but it seems like I increasingly see funded used to describe revenue for services rendered.

It seems like a bit of a bait and switch, because the word funded often carries come connotation of ownership, obligation, or charity.
> that is a hell of a life choice

This implies that I'm taking some huge risk or would be absurdly overpaying my taxes or something. I don't think either of those things are true. In the larger picture, this isn't really that big of a deal.

> I guess if you assume

I assume none of those things.

> that hour you spend checking your tax documents may be the highest-leverage hour of work you do that year.

It would be more than an hour, but the time isn't even the biggest issue. The biggest issue is the stress, worry, and hassle. It's just a basic cost/benefit calculation here, no different than other cases where I accept a level of increased expense or some risk because it costs more than I'm willing to pay to mitigate it. I have bigger fish to fry than this. Micromanaging this would reduce my overall happiness by adding an additional thing to worry about.

Everyone's cost/benefit calculation is different, of course, and if yours indicates that you'd be better off being more diligent about this stuff, that's entirely fair as well.
>One, the people who think before speaking will start talking. Two, intelligence will start being released.

I mean, I agree with you. But from 10,000ft, it's going to be mostly the same voices, going one way or the other. Conflicting views will remain prominent. The information war is crazy.

AWS is the backbone of the internet, amazon warehouses are some of the most efficient in the world, lowering costs for everyone. People subscribe to prime in droves because of the value they get from it. Even if you zoom in to smaller assets, amazon has huge impact. Twitch brings a lot of people joy, same with kindle and even Alexa a few years ago.

"Selling stuff using the internet" probably makes you feel smart/superior but it infantilizes the company's contributions to the rest of us.

So the real story is free transit led to massive economic growth which in turn led to increased car ownership.

The lesson for planners and government here is clear: combine free transit with measures to make it massively more incovenient and expensive to own a private automobile.
My understanding was that the wealthy essentially do not have income, their net-worth is tied to their stock ownership.

Tax on capital gains do not work to tax them either since they don't sell their stocks but take loans against them.

In what way should these systems be changed, or new systems be used, to appropriately tax them without compromising their ownership of the companies they built?
Many police investigations depend on absolute control of evidence. Border and Customs especially depends on this and somehow have succeeded to this day in maintained regulations and laws that block you from accessing recording devices or recording when in the indoors secondary inspection. And of course that is the place where they fabricate all their lies and warrants.
The fact that you conceptualize of people with more wealth than you as "masters" totally explains your stance on this topic. I struggle to feel how Bezos "enslaves me" or makes my life worse (and on the flip, I can easily name 3 ways he makes my life better.)

I suspect one's perspective on this depends a lot on one's a-priori sense of victimization and it's just not what I lead with. So yes, I can see that how you feel makes you think what you think, but it's not for me.
Same. I could totally relate. Comfortable isolation sounds blissful.

After a long day I tend to zone out and my partner tells me it's like they're talking to a wall.
There is no risk if you truly believe in what you say. There is also no reason why you need to give up your job for such a venture.

So, I guess we're back to questioning why you think people would choose Bezos over you.
I predict they will lose and a video criticizing their arguments in the court case will appear on YouTube and receive millions of views.

Even if he loses, a video that simply quotes court documents and offers opinion could attract a lot of views and cause a lot of outrage towards the officers and the system.
I think too many people don't realize how hard it is to really estimate these things even if they happen right next to you, and especially if they happen at night.

It's hard enough to estimate the caliber and distance of a single pistol or rifle shot (with training you can get pretty good), let alone the difference between a smaller mortar and a larger JDAM.
Imagine a scenario where the entire population is starving. That is a bad situation. Now imagine that a few people figure out how to create food and as a result, almost everyone has enough food to keep themselves alive, but the people who discovered the way to make food have billions of times more food than the average person--way more than they need.

I am much more concerned about raising the standard of living for the average person than being worried about trying to prevent someone from being wildly successful. Personally, Amazon has increased my standard of living and the same is true for a large portion of the US...which is why the company is so valuable.
I don't think anyone is arguing that the government support of Tesla and EVs is necessarily bad here, just taking issue with OP's claim of "without any government intervention."

Honestly Windows on ARM isn't horrid. The OS is fine, and with an ARM web browser it can be hard to tell it's not x86.

They do need to push devs a little harder to get ARM versions out there. It's kinda silly that there seems to be more ARM native apps available through WSL2 than Windows itself. They really need to have a team that at least goes around doing things like adding WoA support to GCC to make it easier to build open source apps for Windows on ARM.

It's revealing that in your stripped down little illustration it's just me and bezos. Bezos all alone, no one to help him, I just give him, personally, the money for the things I want.

In my understanding labor is the resource billionaires extract their wealth from, worker exploitation is the mechanism they use to do it. Between the two of us I don't think I'm missing the point here. I've seen your point before but it's a red herring. Allowing power to accrue so dramatically to individuals is the problem, not whose micro-decisions allow them to claim a sliver more of it.
If proper single payer is out of the question, the biggest mistake in Obamacare is that employer-sponsored health plans remained legal. Everyone should have been forced into the same market.

Tolls and subscriptions, obviously.
Ask HN: Is it ethical to sell subscriptions to software without a cloud?
Hello! I'm working on a novel service that feels most likely to materialize as a cloud based SaaS application. I'd like to provide a cloud component as that does present advantages, however for privacy I'd like to provide a cheaper option that runs locally on a person's device (say, 1$ a month vs 3$).

I'll say, renting local software, such as the adobe suite, is a very frustrating experience. I'd much, much, much prefer to own it outright. When presented with a subscription that doesn't have an obvious reason (such as streaming services), I tend to look for alternatives.

But at the same time, the program is the sort of thing you'd see as a SaaS. The local option is certainly not the primary option, it's more like a "if this can't work for you, we might be able to offer this, which comes with plenty of it's own issues". Certainly, very much a secondary option.

I've considered offering it for free, but if I wasn't thinking about a local option for privacy this thought wouldn't have crossed my mind. It really is just for people who would have paid for this in a world where there isn't all these privacy questions.

A one time purchase feels difficult as the recurring cost funds reoccurring development. I wouldn't be scared of that for things without this SaaS feeling, small apps with a small scope. But for something that is primarily modeled as a subscription, it feels like at that point, I might as well just give it for free. If users pay for an app, want to convert to cloud, and then have paid for the app they would have gotten for "free" with the subscription, that's a hard sell.

Anyway, I'm curious about your thoughts on the matter.

I didn't see any news articles referencing the doctors at the hospital - but I did see articles using the Gaza Health Ministry. Perhaps that's what you mean? If so, the Gaza Health Ministry is Hamas. I stand to be corrected as I obviously haven't read all articles.

Nonetheless I don't see how doctors at the hospital would know who bombed the hospital
I'm not entirely sure what the use-case is. Is the visual isolation from the environment a central feature? What makes this a better reading experience than an e-paper Kindle?
You have to actually do it, though. Until somebody finds the least interesting article and thinks about it, it isn't interesting. Mathematical properties are eternal and exist whether or not anyone is looking.

I find it interesting that this discussion already jumped to a meta-discussion as if hundreds of people weren't killed and hundreds more aren't being killed right now. Seems like a great fog screen to protect the ones who did it.

Feature Flags for Everyone (2023)
I mentioned this in the operators channel just now, but also worth noting is that channel binding (e.g. SCRAM-*-PLUS in combination with RFC 9266) also mitigates this attack. Essentially the connecting client is able to detect the mismatch between the certificate or handshake the server thinks it is presenting, and the one the client actually sees.

ejabberd and Prosody support it, and a number of clients too.
