Yeah, turns out "modern" software development has more holes than Swiss cheese. What else is new?
Yarvin doesn't want all the bother of trying to become a monarch (a lifetime quest), but I'm sure you can think of historical advisers to royalty that have made themselves indispensable to several generations of rulers.

> My experience has certainly been that AWS is both a) more stable, and b) has more migration resources and guides than the reverse.

I'm not sure how well founded the stability argument is. I still remember the infamous series of AWS outages that took place a couple of years ago.

The fact that AWS invests heavily in vendor lock-in is a problem created by AWS, not their competitors.
Winter ISO C++ Meeting in Hagenberg
The Ukrainian terms are "all of the land back plus Crimea".

Do you understand that this does not happen without the following: massive American mobilization, 2/75 or the whole of the Ranger Battalions jumping, all US Armor units deploying to Eastern Europe, all of 4th, 5th, 6th, and honestly 7th fleet re-deploying to the Med for support operations. A massive amount of U.S. casualties.

Is this doable? No doubt. I am out of the Army, but a lot of my boys are still in, and they would love to do a peer fight instead of whatever it was we did in Afghanistan.

But I will be the adult here and point out that this is stupid.
> Two avoidable new wars under Biden.

Which wars?

Ukraine could have been trivially avoided by Russia, as Ukraine did nothing to provoke the war except perhaps by the mere fact of its existence as a an independent country. But I assume you mean “avoidable by Biden.” How would Biden have avoided it?

What’s the second? Gaza? I give Biden approximately zero credit for competent handling of the situation, but that war was started by a surprise attack by one non-US party against another non-US party. Nobody asked the US’s opinion. I very much doubt that the US could have prevented that war by announcing a desire to annex Gaza.
How confident are you that their log system is resilient, given the state of the rest of their software?
as I understand it the discussion of adding Ukraine to Nato happened after Russian aggression.
I'm not sure you and they agree on the meaning of collect: If you input personal data into Firefox - e.g., an email you type in a Gmail - then they 'collect' it. Unless you use Firefox only for anonymous purposes, some data must pass through Firefox.

> With Mozilla, for example, displaying sponsored links using Firefox Suggest ( https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/fi... ) means collecting and sharing personal data (like search keywords, browsing history or bookmarks).

That article says it's only opt-in, so you are safe:

As always, we believe people should be in control of their web experience, so Firefox Suggest will be a customizable feature.

We’ll begin offering smarter contextual suggestions to a percentage of people in the U.S. as an opt-in experience.
Do you really discover the world through YouTube videos? :( You’re making it too easy for the Russian propaganda machine.

How can you even elect one person in a video as a proxy for your entire view on a subject, and say „watch, he will address all concerns”.
How does this work? Do they demand you to use Azure for your servers so they get a discount? Or do you have to create instances of your product in e.g. VMs that are put in their Azure account? Did you have to completeley leave every last bit of gcp behind? How is this checked by MS?
Restructuring the elections, congressional seat allocation, etc. would require Constitutional amendments. Unlikely to happen. It is baked in the cake that individual votes are weighed unequally between the 50 states of the Republic. The only other way to do it would be an organic mass migration of voters that equalizes the population in all 50 states. The Census would eventually reflect this and the seats and electoral votes would be equal in all states, as I understand it.

We already have a "third party" now in the sense the GOP is unrecognizable from 20 years ago; the old GOP died out, like the Whig Party.

Bernie lost the popular vote in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries.
> They say it's only for "doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox" - how is that alarming?

Nothing that I intend to do with Firefox requires any such statement. The mere existence of the statement is evidence that Mozilla's intentions are drastically out of line with what a web browser should be doing.
Good call. I'd seriously considering firing the developers responsible, too.
I'd posit that it's the inverse belief: anything that benefits other people indirectly hurts you. This zero-sum worldview is becoming popular in national politics as well.

> Ukraine isn't in NATO.

Arguably the US isn’t either anymore . It is pretty clear that Trump won’t enforce Article 5 when Russia is the aggressive party. Which, by itself, might be a preparation to take Greenland. Both US and Russia are already interfering in the upcoming elections there.

It doesn’t sound crazy anymore, considering the shitshow we’ve seen the last four weeks sounded crazy before the inauguration.
Any purported expert who uses software without considering its security is simply negligent. I'm not sure why people are trying to spin this to avoid placing the blame on the negligent programmer(s).
"impression and conversion data", "attribution, causal lift measurement and lookalike modeling". These are all terms of art in the field of tracking user behavior: collecting information, and using it to infer what you can't collect directly.

We just had the leader of a Swedish party saying that non-US nuclear armament plans are needed, this is very significant since it's been basically unthinkable to say as far back as the 1960s or so when our own nuclear program was dismantled (The program was discontinued partly due to internal pressures but also rumored longstanding US guarantees for being under a nuclear shield).
To be fair, the US is also talking about annexing territory from non-allies, too. Maybe we need to annex territory comprising widely varying climates and degrees of strategic value?
They weren't bending the knee. They were treating Trump like a toddler because that's the best strategy to get concessions from him.

Look at the theatre of the UK giving him the "unprecedented" letter from the King.

Talk of "bending knees" just makes macho idiots think they're winning. It's more like distracting your really drunk friend with something shiny to stop him starting a bar fight or walking into traffic while hoping when he sobers up he'll change for the better, not continue his slide into becoming an permanent asshole.
You think Germany and France are invested in defending Ukraine when the US isn’t doing the heavy lifting?
> Yup, the hardest part about migrating to Azure was jumping between all the managed services that work everywhere else but are insanely buggy on Azure.

Care to point out a concrete example? I've worked with Azure a few years ago and I wouldn't describe it as buggy. At most, I accuse them of not "getting" cloud as well as AWS. For example, the whole concept of a function app is ass-backwards, vs just deploying a Lambda with a specific capacity. That is mainly a reflection of having more years working with AWS, though.

Hmmm… so find a problem currently not solved by anyone and solve it, right? In the sense of making life or processes easier and more comfortable.

I’m developing two apps: a GPT, infinite context translator and a language learning app filled with AI. In fact, this is a preview of the translator https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43199806, although it does currently not support the infinite context window. I know how to make it but won’t be as easy.

I’ll focus on the translator now. It takes a bit more time o deliver the translation (up to x5.5 what Google Translate) but its quality is 20-40% higher (BLEU score) and its API will be fixed at $0.70 per million characters in fast mode and $2.10 per million in Deep Translate (reasoning) mode. Google offers $20 per million characters. That’s a significant drop in price and a better translation.

I’m currently concocting the benchmarks with FLORES-200 and a bunch of languages to refine the product. My idea was to make a press release or something and send it out to portals like TechCrunch. I expected a better reduction in price and much more quality increase than a /10 and a +40%, but still might be worth a press article.

What do you think about this? Following on in your comment, I should maybe find a Reddit post that studies translation and translators?
I think the closest is librewolf and holding out for Ladybird

There's no talk of sending European soldiers to fight for Zelensky, the only thing currently being discussed is a peace-keeping force, once an accord is reached. If that happens there will most likely be elections held and Zelensky might not get a second term, or maybe he will?

A couple other ripple effects that could shape the next decade with Americas new position

1. The nuclear deterrence of mutually assured destruction that’s been in place for half a century is no longer “assured” if the U.S. isn’t seen to be reliable. I have to imagine the second priority after upholding Ukraine is a European arms race, so that at least the sum of European warheads and delivery capabilities matches Russian ones.

2. There’s a fringe pro unification group in Taiwan that advocates for reunification with China on friendly rather than hostile terms. It will be seen if that group raises in prominence after these spectacles.
The point is San Francisco has tons of land (with houses already built on it) that is desirable but not allow for redevelopment.
Bush didn't lose re-election over the first Gulf War, which on the whole went swimmingly for the US in a very short timeframe. He lost because he looked out of touch in his electioneering and didn't know the price of milk during a debate with Bill Clinton. There was a recession underway that drained some of the froth out of the irrationally exuberant 1980s. Of course it didn't help him that he was basically a CIA policy wonk whereas Clinton was the most charismatic candidate since Kennedy.
And basically no Luftwaffe. This Chamberlain-schmamberlain apologetic stance is plain wrong.
There are plenty of other websites that don't do that. Perhaps one of those would work better for you?

That data only exists in encrypted form and in a trusted execution environment, based on the evidence. I mean, everything you do on the computer is also in RAM - is that tracking too?

There is no evidence of risk. A general freakout is not evidence of anything besides maybe some bad acid.

What does this even mean? Yes, the Iraq war was terrible. That doesn't make Trump any better.
> The United States is the reason this war is still on-going.

In what way? Because it is providing assistance to Ukraine to defend itself against an aggressor?
> Low 6 figures is just a dev.

...in the US.

In Europe, even the likes of Amazon pays it's SDEs 70k/year. In Sweden, for example, Microsoft pays it's SDEs south of 800k SEK, which is about 70k dollars/year.

Low 6 figures is an entire team of Microsoft SDEs working full time for a year.

This is rich. Russia occupied and annexed Crimea, and a part of eastern Ukraine. Of course Ukraine was seeking NATO membership.
My father was a Classics professor, and one of the most popular classes he taught was "Latin Terminology for Medicine and Law".
It is not immoral, it is amoral. There is no moral in geopolitics and international relations.

The US are not doing anything new. It's just that Trump's style is very "in your face" and that the public have been fed so much BS about "good", "moral", "democracy", etc in international relations that they actually believe it.
We're living in a classic "pre-war era," similar to what people said about living in Germany between the wars. I don't know what the war is going to be about or even who the sides are going to be (hopefully I won't be on either of them), but I think that's what the tension is about.

Maybe it will be defused, though? No way to know.
The issue here is not sourcemaps being available. The issue is admin credentials being shipped to clients for no reason.
Interesting.

I just watched Trump greet Zelensky entering the Whitehouse with words like "and he even got all dressed up", foreshadowing Tulsi Gabbard's journalist boyfriend asking Z why he doesn't wear a suit.

It was definitely a planned media ambush intended to undermine support for Z and Ukraine.
Because the system traps people into a false dichotomy.

There is no candidate, no party that perfectly represents my views, or yours, nor could there ever be. Yet people are forced to choose between one of two bad options while being fed propaganda from both sides. Everyone is too distracted by the fighting between the sides to question the system itself.

Why is it that in a democracy, instead of voting for policies we believe in, which would seem to be the point, we instead vote for men, who then have power over us? And then they can do whatever they want?

Direct democracy. Maybe it’s flawed too, but it’s less flawed than this.
> It's meaningless data to you: It doesn't say what you click on, just where and how big the ads are, and how many times you click. It doesn't identify you or reveal anything about you, except that you clicked on some unknown ads.

I'm not sure what you mean by "meaningless data to you". Obviously, the data Mozilla is collecting, aggregating, and selling is meaningful to the buyers. And you're straight up lying about the extent of the data, directly contradicting Mozilla's Privacy Notice.

> Look at the article; what advertisers want and what the privacy-destroying competition does is much more sophisticated than what you describe.

Obviously? What I was describing was how it's possible to target an advertisement without doing any user tracking. What the advertisers want to do and are doing is tracking users as much as they can get away with. And that includes the ad tracking company Mozilla bought.

The only thing that matters is that Ukraine keeps fighting. And I think they will.

No one can answer “yes” with the information you’ve given. Who are you? What would your app do differently that is worth switching to? How much would it cost? For all we know, you’re going to use an LLM to build a slow app which consumes a ton of RAM before crashing, is an expensive subscription, sells user data, and isn’t even available on our OS of choice.

We’re not in your head, you have to communicate your plans.
They literally said: “This makes great TV” - and both right-wing Fox and the Russian media are cheering.

It worries me that no-one in the Republican Party looks at it and says: Russia is our enemy right, why are we doing exactly what they want and benefits them?
Thanks for this. It's an annoying point that people make.

It's much better to acknowledge that the deal the United States signed up for was to cover security for the entire European continent until 2024.
There was broad bi-partisan support for the first Gulf War (response to Iraq invading Kuwait) and the war in Afghanistan (response to 9/11).

The broader dissent started to come after the invasion of Iraq (based on the notion of Iraqi WMDs) and the lack of progress in Afghanistan or finding Bin Laden.

Foreign policy under different Presidents is often contradictory and as in any political context, the President usually has some base of support from their own party no matter how far off script they go, simply out of unity or fear of the alternative party benefiting from a lack of unity.

So while a coherent policy of “The US should intervene in all conflicts or no conflicts” would be intellectually consistent, the circumstances surrounding the conflict and the political environment lead to inconsistencies.
When was this agreement drawn up and signed?

The controversy regarding the legitimacy of eastward NATO expansion relates to the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1989, when the fall of Soviet-allied communist states to opposition parties brought European spheres of influence into question.

Russian authorities claim that agreement on non-expansion of NATO to Eastern Europe took place orally and the alliance violated it with its expansion while the leaders of the alliance claim that no such promise was made and that such a decision could only be made in writing.

Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who participated in the 1990 negotiations, subsequently spoke out about the existence of a "guarantee of non-expansion of NATO to the east" inconsistently, confirming its existence in some interviews and refuting in others.

Among academic researchers, opinions on the existence or absence of a non-extension agreement also differ.

OTOH, I understand there was an actual drawn up agreement regarding Ukraine giving up post Soviet nuclear weapons, Russia agreeing to Ukranian autonomy and the US agreeing to provide secuirty for Ukraine.
Property tax are mostly taxes on the land. If you want to build housing, you get the necessary land cheaper, thanks to the property tax. I agree that the sales tax is bad though.
Just imagine for a second that your country is being invaded. Just imagine your friends and family are being killed by an invasion. That your whole culture is under threat. Just look at what Russia does with places they invaded and culturally assimilated. Everything you love might be gone if you capitulate.

It’s not that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, but on fair terms, not by giving Russia everything they want. Not by ignoring the sacrifices.
