> I am referring to NATO

NATO only applies if they go specifically for a NATO country — which is why Ukraine wants into NATO in the first place, and why the invasion of Ukraine got Finland to join in a hurry. Also this is only a risk while NATO continues to still exist, which is threatened both because Trump has explicitly said: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68266447

And: https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-offshore-drilling-gul...

And: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/former-australian-pm...

But also Russia is starting to prepare for direct NATO confrontation anyway: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-accuses-west-push...

> UN

Russia is on the permanent security council, they have a veto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_members_of_the_Unite...

> ICC

Already has arrest warrants for them, can't escalate further: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_a...

> Amnesty International & Human Rights Organizations, global backslash, fear of uncontrollable consequences (wrt. current allies like China and India, they are Russia's key trade partners).

None of this stopped them so far, why would it start?

Especially on trade: Russia is a petrostate, their main export is fuel, the invasion of Ukraine by itself sped up the European transition away from fossil fuels in general and their fossil fuels in particular, and everyone Russia does business with — including "allies", though that's too strong a word for their relationship with India — has every reason to take advantage of the price ceiling to get discounts even when they don't explicitly take part in the actual ceiling itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_crude_oil_price_c...

> There are many reasons to not be afraid of what we might believe Putin would do ("getting conscripted by Putin as cannon fodder to go after the next country" and so forth).

Why are you ignoring the evidence that this has already happened three times?

Why do you insist on treating this as a hypothetical?

You seem to think you’re on Reddit. Handwaving away assistance because someone else “could have” done it is pretty on brand there.
There are a lot of things that are different for sure since that article's release, for example the crypto, but also the existence of DoH/DoT and that it is leaps and bounds more deployed. They also talk about key pinning, but key pinning has been dead for a while and replaced by exactly CT.

I'm also not sure how much to trust the author. The writing is very odd language wise and they seem to have quite the axe to grind even with just public CA-based PKI, let alone their combination. The FAQ they link to also makes no sense to me:

> Under DNSSEC/DANE, CA certificates still get validated. How could a SIGINT agency forge a TLS certificate solely using DNSSEC? By corrupting one of the hundreds of CAs trusted by browsers.

It's literally what I'd want TLSA enforcement for to combat.
Say that to Churchill... :D

No, there's definitely no "dress code" in those circles.

A dress code is specifically something you impose to lower-ranking ones. That's why Trump did not like it, and why this journalist seemed upset: they couldn't bear that Zelenski was not submitting to their, very closed-minded WASP dress code for underlings.

When you're the head of state, or in power circles, there's something else, that's called a _dress standing_, which is different and opens a much wider area of possibilities.

And by that standard, boy, did Zelensky outfit outranked everyone else's in the office!
Taxing estates over 1B at 100% would move the needle a good amount. Rich people will insist that if you remove their incentive to earn more than a billion they’ll stop working and I’m ok with that. There will always be plenty of non billionaires left to pick uo the slack.

Saying something involved hyperbole means you think part of the claim was exaggerated, not that you think the entire affair was invented from the ground up.

E.g. if your coworker comes into work and says "Wow, you guys wouldn't believe it - I was passed by this maniac doing at least 140 mph on the way in to work today. What a crazy speeder!" then you see on the news the police arrested the driver for driving up to 95 mph. You might say "140 mph sounds like hyperbole, it looks like it was significantly less". If they respond "what's the hyperbole, you don't think he was speeding? You're irrational!" you might be a bit confused as, leaving the unnecessary bit at the end aside, the hyperbole was the clear and excessive exaggeration of the rate of speed, not an implication the individual was driving safely this morning.

In the above the hyperbole was "they canceled invasive species control programs for the Great Lakes". Well no, they are risking it being ineffective and causing great harm due to a personnel cut somewhere on the order of 15%-20%. The exaggeration here is the amount it was cut. At no point was it claimed the exaggeration was there could be some level of a negative impact as a result.
Inequality can increase while the poorest are still getting richer in real terms (inflation-adjusted income). That's been the case for a decades now: https://archive.is/HcRsU

"It is the mechanic and teaching assistant in the middle who have the best claim to having missed the party: median real income rose by 57% from 1990 to 2019. But that is still a healthy 1.6% per year—a far cry from the stagnation in median earnings that is sometimes alleged".

For the record, I think inheritance tax should be way higher, and allowing the value of money to outstrip the value of labor is a travesty, but it's important to keep in mind that people across the income spectrum are getting richer in real terms. It's better to be poor in America than median income in most countries.
I have no problem adapting to style guidelines of specific codebases I contribute to. It would, however, behoove you to have similar respect for other coding styles which have zero impact on the quality of code itself and serves a particular purpose for a particular kind of person who might not particularly care what someone at a FAANG (lol appeal to authority) thinks about their code style.
Sure but if you make the tax incentives TOO good for landlords, owner occupied housing % goes down as those with capital amass larger portfolios to lease out.

Further if you made building housing easier there would be more available, with less price pressure from excess demand pushing prices and rents up.

I’m more interested in enticing developers to build than I am encouraging more landlords.

The SO data was always licensed as CC-attr (I think?) so LLMs could and should use it. The SO value was never supposed to be the data; it was the platform and community, and this is the part SO (VC-fueled version) has destroyed.

What prevents me from putting the hash of the public key of my public CA certificate into the TLSA record? Nothing. What prevents clients from checking both that the public CA based certificate I'm showing is valid and is present on CT, as well as that it's hashes to the same value I have placed into the TLSA record? Also nothing.

Am I grossly misunderstanding something here? Feels like I missed a meta.
Depends from the definition of "far-left utopia" I guess.

I admit that I'm an outsider, but in terms of social welfare and equality, the US still seems closer to capitalist dystopia than a far-left utopia. Expensive healthcare mostly tied to work / insurance, very expensive education, high wealth inequality and pretty poor social safety nets.

At the same time, on many "culture war" issues America has seemed too extreme for my taste. For instance, discriminating people based on their "race" in university admissions is absolutely insane. But the solution to fixing these crazy ideas shouldn't be going all the way to far-right, with its own crazies like anti-vaxxers, Putin fanboys and climate-change deniers. I miss the times when most popular politicians were centrists.

Yes I see what you mean, with hobbies sometimes better costs is equal to better quality (probably not in a linear sense). Records are not that, but ig there’s other examples like old cars that fit the same profile.
Really the root question might be, what is better quality? There’s definitely a quality of experience with physical media that there isn’t an analog to in the digital world. I’m sure there are other examples on both sides.
No need to be hyperbolic.

I think you misunderstood my point. Was that intentional? My assertion was the issue under discussion isn't a political one, and there's no reason to think there is^1. Thus injecting the political issue you're upset about is unreasonable and encourages us vs them fighting; instead of us being on the same side here and resisting Mozilla's attempt to sell user data to AI companies. Because that's all this is about, they want permission to sell your Firefox data to "Big AI".

^1: I do think that you desperately want believe this is about how Firefox is coming after your beliefs, and while maybe they have, or maybe they might. This isn't the step before that, which makes your comment a weird distraction.

Just to clarify, the Australian Red Cross is now allowing Hemochromatosis patients to donate plasma and is apparently the first in the world to do that.

Whole blood from hemochromatosis patients isn’t new. In Canada, at least, a buddy of mine was diagnosed about 10 years ago and “I just have to donate blood on a schedule” was the treatment he was given.

This is not true. Or maybe it is but they missed me? I signed up with a brand new company without issue.
Crimea was 10 years ago now. And Obama at that time didn't intervene, in fact he called on Europe to spend more on defense. Europe is much bigger (in population) and richer than Russia. This is a different situation than the cold war.
>economic growth hasn’t been occurring in real terms for most people for a long time

This is just not true.

At least in the U.S., people of all income tiers have seen their incomes grow[0] while their working hours shrunk[1].

Inequality is a problem in itself, but equating unequal gains with "transferring money from the poor" seems like bad faith.

Album art for 12-inch LPs is fabulous.

CD packaging with jewel cases was a major step down in experience because of size and also because of the inconvenience of getting the booklets out of the case; good CD packaging experiences were exceedingly rare.

Art for streaming is a different medium altogether, as it is behind a screen but potentially dynamic; it can achieve new things, but can't replicate the LP experience any more than photographs can reproduce sculptures.

They don't need to, because there's always you who can figure out boring minutiae for them while they deliver business value.
Please just look at my other comments because I find myself repeating myself over and over, my comment went past a lot of people's heads and they rushed towards defensiveness instead of understanding the simple, unarguable fact of life I laid out in my comment.
/r/AskHistorians is a case study in well-managed community at scale. Sadly I don’t think it would work for standalone business that had to pay the bills.
I wonder if the name's similarity to "Tauri" (Rust-based alternative to Electron) will lead to confusion.
To me it "seems like" the CIA is being attacked and its extinction burst through the media it controlled for the last generation is causing a blast of hysteria. Everything published in media organizations that until recently were receiving federal funds should be viewed through that light. They're mainly mad because their gravy train stopped.

I don't like the Yarvinists doing the attacking but the old regime acting like it was a representation of the will of the people at this point is pretty offensive.

There's a reason people voted against them. It's just a shame that we couldn't have voted for liberal ideals instead of neoreactionary ones.

If we get very lucky maybe we will wind up with the CIA defanged and without completely sliding into authoritarianism! a person can dream, anyway..

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I’ll answer that yes, it has always been a problem that so much influence is concentrated in so few hands. It’s been said that a dictatorship would be the best form of governance if you could ensure the dictator would always be the best one possible. But you can’t. When you allow such concentrations of power, at some point someone who is willing to abuse that power, or someone who is simply incompetent, will come along and it’s a disaster for everybody.

Wealth inequality is not innate; there have been plenty of civilizations with far less of it. It’s only an inherent part of free-market capitalism.
Oh I'm not saying it does, the person above seemed to be suggesting that we should focus on figuring out the residency conditions that lead to the best patient outcomes, rather than improve the conditions for residents, which suggests they believe worse conditions for residents may be better for patients.

Just to point out the obvious, people doing 80 hrs/week for 2 years (lower end of residency term I believe) are going to have twice as much 'experience' as people doing 40hrs/week for 2 years.

I suspect most of us here know more hours worked doesn't directly correlate with more retention of information and best practices, but that's the thinking.

I'm arguing that even if 80hrs/week residencies was the optimal amount of pressure to turn our fledgling residents into battle-hardened physicians, if you can get 99% of the effect with 40hrs/week, maybe do that instead. And again, I'm not even suggesting this is actually the case.
Was wondering how long I’d have to scroll for this. The reality is that it’s unhealthy not to be “racist” when selecting health care providers right now due to historical policies like this.

When the right takes swipes at “DEI”, going after bar lowering in medical school is very high on the list of legitimate targets for them to attack. I don’t want to care about the race of my doctor, but do gooders gave me no choice by passing so many bad doctors.
> They have been doing for at least a decade by now (e.g Amazon). So why imply it suddenly isn’t acceptable to show ads (in any form)?

Because it isn't acceptable.

The first thing I've done (for years now) when configuring Firefox is to turn off many of the defaults. Advertisements, pocket, search engine, online spell checker, translator, blah blah blah.
Based on the author's other blog posts, they certainly seem to have drunk the LLM Kool-Aid. Likely enough of it to make their conclusions perhaps slightly biased.
That doesn't seem reasonable, doubly so when Trump wasn't exactly a disaster that emerged in seconds, he was elected in November. If billions could be raised to rebuild Notre Dame almost overnight, surely this can find much more modest funding in weeks.
> Why is it suddenly part of the job description of a junior DOGE employee to build workforce org chart visualization tools and investigate strategic resource datasets?

That is totally fine to focus on. My point was focusing on the code prior to DOGE existing showing collection of GIS data.

We're in total agreement on this particular point.

Make it 99%. Then they will increase their wealth by $.01 for every dollar earned, which is better than $.00 for doing nothing. Logically they must continue using their special billionaire-skills because they are earning money for it. Probably at a faster rate than 99% of us.

Plain economics. Surely they will make the rational choice.
No, it doesn't matter, and as I explained above, I never mentioned humans once in my comment, nor did I make any comparisons. I simply described a mathematical fact that a lot of people are having trouble understanding and digesting.

I do appreciate your comment as it's not defensive, it's made in earnest, so please don't take my above statement to be a reflection of you in particular.
I think it’s pretty likely that he is smart enough to try and use “madman theory” to gain his advantage. Whether that plays out to be a good strategy in the long term remains to be seen. However, in the past it has worked to a degree when leaders have utilized it.

Native Americans did have dogs. They didn't have sheep, but the Incans did have access to wool-bearing animals in the form of the alpaca (though the Incan Empire was geographically isolated so these animals never reached North America). Guinea pigs were also domesticated in this region. There were neither cows nor chickens, but there were other forms of poultry such as turkeys and ducks.
The points you've made are "correct" but irrelevant.
Further - because it’s easy & cheap to stay in a paid off SFH indefinitely, a lot of retirees do so.

Part of it is inertia and part of it is stuff like “where will the grandkids stay if I moved to a condo”.

Which sure if your monthly costs are near $0 then having 2-3 spare bedrooms sit empty 360 days per year seems sensible.

If they could cash out 50% of their homes value and have same/lower monthlies, then losing some spare bedrooms wouldn’t matter.

Downgrading has to be both easy and cost saving for retirees to do it.

Between my dad and his 3 siblings only 1 has done the downgrade-after-70 thing. And even then that aunt only did so as a gift to her son selling them the family home below market …

Not just online discussion sites; any community system. It feels like the typical growth & decay function of a lot of systems, just at internet speed.

My experience: the only way to stay good is to stay small and exclusive, but the internet attacks this defense directly and destroyed it, and at the same time destroyed itself. You need to find the "golden age" of all these systems, enjoy them while you can, try and protect them but recognize their transient nature, and then aggressively cull and move on. Hold onto values not manifestations.
