The US isn't democratically governed, it's an oligarchy that's dressed up as a democracy. It has some essential ingredients of a representative democracy like holding elections to give the system an aura of legitimacy, but the entire back-end of this "democratic process" is quite obviously rotten due to decades of corruption. Most of that could probably be attributed back to the involvement of big money interests in politics.
It could have been made bigger too. Who cares?
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck then what do you think it might be?

So because Russians did something right* 80 years ago they have a permanent moral high ground in perpetuity?

How does that make any sense?

*of course let’s not get into how WW2 started and how would Germany would have had a much harder time defeating France with their horse powered military without massive Soviet support..).
In a recent report on info ops conducted on American targets, the Russian goal was to spread divisiveness. The Chinese goal was to create assets that result in a positive impression of China.

As of February, China’s actions with working with Europe and standing against America cemented its position as world power focused on stability.

Their decision to find a way to work with India, is yet another sign of their decision making.

In sharp contrast, America is dismantling itself in flight.

You seem to be assuming that the US will automatically do the things that are in its strategic interest, as if it were not only a conscious being but a skilled strategist, even as you point out how the internal political dynamics of European countries do not result in such an outcome. I don't think the future is so predictable, and particularly not with that model.
Citigroup and Extreme Overpayments
I don't think there's such a thing yet for payment terminals. Local alternatives all seem to have died off because banks in other countries didn't support them.

I hope the new attempt you linked will make a difference. This time, international support seems to be at the basis of the system. Widespread integration of a unified form of iDeal/Bancontact/Payconiq could easily replace the need for American style credit card forms across Europe.

I got hacked a week ago. I did pretty extensive technical research on how they pulled it off and what I (/we) can try to prevent this from happening in the future, or at least minimise the scope as much as possible.

I hope this will help a few others, either by bringing more attention to how vulnerable the whole Node.js ecosystem is or just to help more people become aware how attackers try to play you.
Did you outgrow the vase 500 searches that Cursor gives you per month and connect your API key for usage based pricing?

I’m having a hard time coming close to the 500 included in the monthly subscription and I use it like, a lot.

Just curious how you’re hitting that 200-300 mark unless you’re talking about paying Anthropic outside of cursor. Which I just now realized is probably the case.
I have seen the other side where a configured AI responds "I don't know" far too much, often when it shouldn't. There is nothing more useless than it. Certainly we need an accurate balance.
That is what the buffoon wants - he wants to be able to enact his policies without any checks and complain from anyone. So that he can threaten to annex Canada and then blame Canada for responding. So that he can actively help Russia without that being pointed out.

Really? So if Russia were not in the position it’s in now, how would the US be able to force European rearmament? If the real adversary were, say, China, but China were far too smart to do anything provocative enough to lead to this response, having another more reckless but ultimately less dangerous enemy that you can contain might be useful, no?
Do you lack the general sense of time and can’t tell if we’re living in the 1940s or 2020s?

Well, I once got a notice from Hetzner, that I needed to either stop running or harden some random open service I wasn't aware of running on my dedi box (I may have forgotten to install a firewall...). If i recall correctly, they were bound by German law, to monitor their network for suspecious activity, and if the customers didn't comply, they could close down your box. Now, it was a while back, my memory is a bit fuzzy and I don't have the time to look through old emails. Consider this anecdata.

That's a good point. I would argue that both that line and the reported `loop.run_until_complete(main_task)` line are important, but then it becomes impossible to have a single linear trace when there are manually scheduled and waited on tasks mixed in.

At that point you have something like a "coroutine frame tree" instead of a "stack trace", where you potentially store multiple parent frames and source lines per coroutine frame. Could be presented something like:

$ python3 test_stacktrace.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
* File "/home/user/tmp/test_stacktrace.py", line 22, in <module>

lol if you believe the marketing gimmick of "unlimited traffic". Where do you think you are?
If that; I’ve met plenty who only care that they work, not how they work.

As someone who works in infra and dabbles in coding, this is a continual bugbear, because often I’ll find an optimization while troubleshooting “my” problem, and the dev team is disinterested in implementing it. Their endpoints are meeting their SLO, so who cares?
As I said, there are tons of things in `base` that aren't POSIX compliant. So that is clearly not a sufficient criteria to exclude something from `base`. You need something else (like what I said, and then you repeated without acknowledging that I had already said it).

> You did not mention a word about scripting.

WTF. Literally right there in my first comment:

> Of course, grep still has a POSIX compliant base. And so long as your scripts only rely on that POSIX compliant base (no -a or -r or -o flags, for example), you can reap the portability benefits of POSIX.

I hate to say, "please re-read my original comment," but I think it might actually apply in your case.

No, we're not in agreement. Only caring about "the current situation" is exactly how we got here. We've been vesting power in the executive for decades. A little here for the environment. A little there because drugs. A little more because terrorists. And so on and so on for every single issue. And every step of the way shortsighted people have said it's not a slippery slope and made all manner of excuses because their specific interest was being served. And now we're reaping what decades of shortsighted people like you have sown.

The way we structure our government needs to be architected on a longer timeline than "the current crisis".

And BTW that's one hell of an edit on the prior comment and the whole schtick about rubber hoses vs technology misses the point about technology being a force multiplier which has huge implications for political will. The fact that the NSA can read everyone's emails cheaper than the Stasi can read everyone's literal mail just means the expenditure is smaller awareness is smaller and the endeavor costs less political capital. Dangerous things (like reading everyone's email) need to be expensive.

You don't have to use the ALIS in an F35.

It was not "technically described accurately" tho. It was a lie and comment you are responding to makes that clear.

So I think that response to that tactic would be to simply call it a lie rather then "technically accurate".
Don't agree with that. In near future such huge ships will host swarms of defensive kamikaze drones to protect themselves.
Depending on where live now you can try asking for asylum in North Korea? They’d probably love a western defector in a time like this.

Also you want what back? To be younger? Because all of those things are available in much of western world.

You might say “housing” but while it was technically cheap in the USSR it was extremely limited. There was never enough housing for everyone and multiple generations often had to live in tiny “affordable” apartments.
I'm not sure both sides-ism is helpful here. I appreciate the perspective that right-wingers have been feeling this fear, and I think that's real and something that should be taken seriously.

And also, as with so many things trump, he's taking the rhetoric and threats to another planet. There was not a huge list of banned words and books, or keyword-based government purges of content previously. There was no threat of punishment for attorneys representing the "wrong" side in a case. There were no blanket threats of imprisonment or deportation for "illegal protests".

The rhetoric and actions being taken by trump/musk in this regard are FAR, FAR beyond anything we've seen here before at least going back to the red scare.
folks mess "cookie banner" with "consent banner". many people do conflate them, but in some jurisdictions (e.g., the EU under GDPR), a "cookie banner" typically includes a consent mechanism.

if you're tracking users for analytics using cookies, fingerprinting, or any other method that identifies them (even probabilistically), you generally need explicit consent under GDPR and similar privacy laws. The key point is that it's not just about cookies; any persistent tracking requires consent.
I mean I know how to use a unix system through the terminal, it's a basic skill for a software engineer, but I'm not enjoying any of that. Most CLI software is ridiculously user-hostile too. Oh you don't remember whether it's "update" or "upgrade"? Or which order the parameters need to be? Or whether it's one dash or two? Well fuck you, go read some manuals and come back when you're ready.

And it's not just discoverability. A well-designed GUI is impossible to get into an invalid state. A CLI, on the other hand, offers infinite possibilities for invalid commands.
Yes, but opposite of "maximizing profits" does not automatically imply targeting consumer or better product. In this example they state that they interested in maximizing amount of tree they plant. Cool, good for them, but it's not something I'm interested in when using a search engine. After one of Vivaldi's recent updates, I was asked to try Ecosia as my default engine, and I did, but after a few days I went back to Google.

Elon's track record with effective management in the first decade of SpaceX was genuinely impressive and led to bullish misunderstandings about the rest of his career (and is still impressive today even after accounting for every other part of his character and contemporary drug use). The guy running the country today doesn't have the impulse control or intellectual curiosity to accomplish the stuff he used to accomplish.

The best generic explanation I've read on this phenomenon is the article "Shallow Feedback Hollows You Out" by Midjourney's Ivan Vendrov:

https://nothinghuman.substack.com/p/shallow-feedback-hollows...
During the cold war, Soviet Russia realised that NATO Air Force was becoming superior in numbers to their own, and would probably dominate the air domain in a conflict with them. So they pivoted their focus to missiles and anti-ballistic missile (ABM) shields to neutralise this western advantage. And, for a period, their missile and ABM programs did have a big lead over the west. After the USSR disintegrated, the west managed to catch up with them.

As for Ukraine, they have the S-300 ABM, the Buks and Osa-AKM for air defence. (The Russian made Buk was one of the first systems able to intercept cruise missiles and US-made Lance tactical ballistic missiles, Harm anti-radar missiles and other airborne and ground-based precision weapons). Though quite old, they are still formidable and is one of the main reasons Russian Air Force has a low key role in the current ongoing conflict. (That + the NATO AWACS).

The problem Ukraine had was that they ran out of missiles for these platform and that's why the US provided them with the Patriot system. But since America did not have enough spare Patriot missiles, East Europe and the US also modified the Buk platform to fire the radar-guided AIM-7 Sparrow and the semi-active radar-guided RIM-7 Sea Sparrow, as well as the heat-seeking AIM-9M Sidewinder air-to-air missile.

I have several options within walking distance that sells HDMI cables for same price as Amazon, and I can trust that they sell a cable that works according to spec.

Amazon uses a 3rd party to deliver here, and their short delivery times is really only available in larger cities if the item is in that particular warehouse. Since they use 3rd party to deliver I can buy from other stores and also have next day delivery, not like delivery times were bad before though. Have several package locker services available as well, next day delivery is common but depends on how far it has to travel.

Can Amazon be better for some niche stuff? Probably, but its unlikely to be in the warehouse close to me anyway. I'd rather wait an extra day than exfiltrate barely taxed money to the US if I can help it.
Corporatized research is a safe bet and guaranteed to succeed—whatever it’s producing is often based on some fundamental truth. The risky research isn’t meant for corporate endeavors till it clears some threshold which readies it for commercialization. So I think the dichotomy between corporate and risky research is false, and instead all research lies on a spectrum of Risk. You need research from all along the spectrum for any kind of technological advancement.

There are plenty of national TLDs, but internationally the English language ones are more common.

gov and mil aren't available to non-American institutions anyway, and .edu locked down to American-only around 2001.

Perhaps this website could've gone with .eu, but this movement is larger than just the EU. I don't think TLDs matter much at the moment, at least not until America's trade war starts affecting TLDs as well.
I’d guess Stalin’s idea was to fund (literally, Germany wouldn’t have had enough oil without the Soviets) the nazi invasion of France and then swoop and “liberate” Europe after a couple of years of brutal WW1 style fighting.

> It seems to me that there are always spaces in a market for companies that aren't necessarily looking for world domination in a segment, but just want a sustainable business which does their thing pretty well.

Yes, this is what constitutes between 99% and 100% of the world economy.
First is often repeated bullshit - China is heavily investing in renewables, and heavy industry in EU fares better than in US.

Second is funny as current war in Ukraine proves that super-advanced tanks are that important anymore.

Europe has two issues that are real

1. In reality it doesn't exist (if understood as a single political entity).

2. European Union, and especially Germany, was handicapped by stupid fiscal policy.

It's getting harder to characterize the C language as "close to the metal". Obviously optimizing compilers are a good thing, but it's frustrating when it feels like you're fighting with them to get the code emitted just the way you want.
The Tesla protests correlate quite well with the nazi salute. France where the burning happened had a rough time with the nazis.

I've got a theory that part of the issue is South Africa never really had much much problem with nazis - they were pro nazi in WW2 but never got involved in the fighting. Whereas in Europe the nazi thing was a bit of a disaster for all involved and the US fought against them. The Russians were a bit complicated in that they started pro nazi as partners and then fought them when they turned. And now accuse all their opponents of being nazi when they are the country that acts that way, which is confusing, probably deliberately so.

Your words are near to truth. Before GPS from nearly 1950s used LORAN navigation system, with similar to GPS principles, but used long waves and have relatively low precision - about kilometer at best.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN

Before LORAN, used radio beacon navigation and star navigation (from Newton time), and good human navigator could achieve about 50km precision.

You could easy see signs of star navigation on good preserved old planes - they all have some sort of fully glass dome, or blister, to provide good near semi-sphere view.
And sure, all those before-GPS era planes have separate navigator job position, sometimes shared with mechanic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WWIIplanes/comments/59xfkz/pby_wais...

You could ask, how planes could fly with 50km precision? Answer is easy - at all plane routes built ground structures easy seen from air and last mile navigation become essentially visual flight, nothing more, nothing less.

On some places ground navigation structures preserved now, for examples:

Using Yandex is the sanest option for me, too, as it feels more like 2014 Google than any other search engine. i.e. I've found it will turn up old blogs, dodgy forums, torrents, which are buried or censored on American search engines.

I'm in the UK, and don't really care that Yandex is Russian. I don't like their politics, I don't like Google's politics either. Yandex just gives me the results I want rather than obscuring them.
