> yet point out and criticize that Neonazism does indeed enjoy broad support there.

This is extremely misleading (and I personally would argue wrong, but I assume good faith on your side) given that Ukrainian support for neo nazism is comparable to countries in western Europe, while russia who attack them is has a lot more neo-nazis, both in absolute numbers but also by percentage.

As for the Azov regiment, here is what wikipedia writes (emphasis mine):

> and allegedly continuing association with far-right
groups and neo-Nazi ideology,

Anyone who has followed the war in Ukraine can tell you that Jews and other minorities are heavily represented in modern Azov, including high profile members, which makes accusations about Azov being nazies somewhat ridiculous.

Again, I assume good faith on your side, but please be careful so you don't spread Russian "Z" narratives. It is incredibly damaging.

Great stuff but don't forget Apollo was plagued with problems.

- Apollo 1 burned up on the pad killing 3 of our best men.
- Neil Armstrong's landing simulator suffered catastrophic failure, almost killing him.
- Apollo 11 had several in-flight incidents that jeopardized the mission.
- Apollo 13 explosion causes a mission abort.

And these are just the major incidents - indicated that low level failures may have been commonplace.

The achievement is never-the-less awe inspiring, and it's wise to study the blueprints Apollo team left behind. Those engineers are now out to pasture, nobody from that program is building the next missions.

> I’m surprised at the negative reaction to GCC-RS. If a language doesn’t have multiple implementations, it’s a pretty sad excuse for a language.

That used to be the common wisdom (especially because of C/C++), but it's a lot more debated these days.

The consensus in the Rust community is that the current situation (one canonical-by-definition compiler, lots of documentation, a minimal spec for safety-critical industries, and specs for some modular sub-parts) get most of the advantages of multiple implementations without the drawbacks.
I don't think so. The point of these tests is to maintain the deterrent power of nukes by showing that they are still intact.

The West doing this by putting effort into all sorts of extremely advanced machinery like NIF in contrast to Russia having to resort to setting off nukes would be a convenient situation for propaganda, since it only makes Russia look even more like a warmongerer.

As for the advantage provided, IIRC the US has been performing "dry" tests, where a bomb with no nuclear material is detonated to verify the trigger mechanisms. That, combined with the tests at NIF and other facilties to verify the viability of the nuclear material, should be comparable in terms of verifying functionality.

I think they meant aggregate. Remember that most of the people leading the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo charge had WWII experience. Safety was based on "at least nobody is currently shooting at us" and development cycles were influenced by the fasttrack programs during the war. Similar trends happened in other areas (motor racing). Those with wartime experience just shrugged off safety, accepting danger as they did during the war.

Has there been a serious attempt to define an html/css subset that achieves these kinds of goals? Something that a mere mortal could implement and would cover the vast majority of web designs?

>hitting you with the cancellation fee is against local law. (It's called de wet van Dam for the curious.)

I doubt this. The early termination fee is 50% what you were obligated to pay. If Adobe got rid of this than consumers would have to pay 100% of this. De wet van Dam is about the about not being able to cancel the subscription itself and not about being able to pay to get out of what you were suppsoed to pay for a subscription period.

Keep in mind there is a normal monthly subscription and when buying the product the three choices of monthly, annual billed monthly, and yearly billed up front are equally displayed.

... I'm not sure what you mean that you always use high-level language and packages... But it doesn't sound right.

The reason game developers use DX/VK/GL as opposed to cuda is entirely:
A. You want access to non-nvidia customers
B. You need access to more aspects of the hardware then is exposed to Cuda. Cuda provides a nice interface to Nvidia's compute. Almost no access to the entire rest of the fixed function pipeline.

The Broadcom & VMware merger took similarly long and was approved. The duration is completely unacceptable and poison to business. I'm general against mergers and think it's better for consumers and the market if competitors fight to the (metaphorical) death instead, but if we do something, let's do it smoothly and right.

That said, for mergers like that a ton of countries are involved which makes things even more complicated and makes it harder to point out where we need to make things smoother.

Accelerationists believe that the only way for a new political/social system to emerge (Communism, Fascism, whateverism) is to accelerate the downfall of status quo. So instead of engaging with the system and trying to change it, they try to enhance the worst aspects of it in the hopes that will drive people to (generally violent) revolution.

It is obviously a niche ideology you rarely run into offline, and when you do it's generally young, mentally ill, or simply very damaged people who can't imagine life ever getting better without the world burning first.
> if life were that easy

... or fair. Check some channels you enjoy on the site and mentally rank them by quality. The ones you've unsubscribed from (or are considering) seem to be among the top of the revenue. Quality doesn't pay; superficially that suits a broader audience and jokes do. In other areas, encouraging healthy competition doesn't pay as much as shoring up your duopoly. Etc.

Nobody is so fast that they can outrun what five others can transport. Nobody so strong that they can replace five others can lift. Nobody so smart that they get five times as much office work done as anyone else. Yet many people make five times more money than others. Looking at the channel stats, more like thousands of times more.

Success has very little to do with one's individual performance (although it certainly plays a role) and much more with luck

YES. I think it's this unique form of after thought, where people imagine accessibility as a "score" that you can "increase". The web developer lowest-common-denominator cares about it, but only at this weird surface level. More aria tags = more accessibility points. It becomes this weird game where we end up with insanely noisy markup, which creates a horrible described interface for anyone actually using assistive technology.

It's an interface like any other. We'd be weirded out if designers graded their screen specs as "visual" enough. More pixels are required in this area, think of our screen users! They need more pixels!

C and C++ are widely used despite their language, compiler, and build system fragmentation. Each platform/compiler combo needs ifdefs and workarounds that have been done for so long they’re considered a normal thing (or people say MSVC and others don’t count, and C is just GCC+POSIX).

There’s value in multiple implementations ensuring code isn’t bug-compatible, but at the same time in C and C++ there’s plenty of unnecessary differences and unspecified details due to historical reasons, and the narrow scope of their specs.

First off - we don't know why pressure against her increased recently. We just don't. We can make up stories about it, and try to assess their plausibility, but we don't know what really happened.

That said, I think that the evidence we have is against this being notably related to GPL and her defense of it. She published her complaint against MediaTek almost two years before she "got her wings clipped" - the timelines don't really support the GPL issue as being a notable part the matter. Also, the situation for IP protection in China is on an upwards trend (https://carnegieendowment.org/2019/10/16/china-s-record-on-i...), and part of that is government led. I have a difficult time seeing police give her so much trouble for this.

My preferred theory is that the straw which broke the camel's back was her minimally filtered commentary on the response to the June 2023 Plaza Hollywood Hotel stabbing. Naomi Wu feels strongly - and I believe, reasonably - that this was an anti-lesbian hate crime, and was furious that nobody in media was willing to acknowledge it as such. Male chauvinism and gendered violence, LGBT rights, public questioning of the results of a police investigation, and all in a venue which is easily accessible to foreigners - these are all things which are far more politically sensitive in China than IP compliance.

For some examples of what she was saying, scroll through her comments here: https://twitter.com/search?q=(from%3ARealSexyCyborg)%20until..., especially this thread: https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/166501414504826880... (Twitter account required for both).
