The reality distortion field the protesters have formed is impressive. They've completely overshadowed a few key points:

- The Yanukovych government offered a power-sharing agreement with the opposition, offering Yatsenyuk the PM position and Klitschko the deputy PM job, which the opposition rejected: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-oppositions-rejects-vik...

- The fascist element - one of the opposition leaders, Oleh Tyahnybok, leads a fascist party (Svoboda) and has openly spread anti-Semitic rhetoric, and aligned itself with extremist groups. Fairly common knowledge to anyone in the know... You can see the fascist and neo-nazi symbols on many of the protesters. http://en.ria.ru/images/18519/41/185194148.jpg The flags with 3 fingers are Svoboda's symbol, the red and black ones are UPA flags, which are the symbol of a group that collaborated with the Nazis, and are used by fascist groups in Ukraine.

- The protesters have been the most violent force during the protests. In what country do police stand by when Molotov cocktails and fireworks are fired at them? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h22oHs3eiLg

- And finally, Yanukovych was not only democratically elected, but because of the split amongst the opposition factions, the PoR will likely win any election that is devoid of outside interference... After the 'Orange Revolution' the opposition united with Yushchenko, now there's 3 large opposition groups (Fatherland, 'Punch', and Svoboda). Considering half the country firmly supports the Party of Regions, the opposition are unlikely to win anything.

Edit - more fascist imagery at the protests: http://gwplondon.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kiev-maidan1.jp... http://gwplondon.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kiev-maidan2.jp...

Edit2 - the Svoboda/Oleh Tyahnybok fascist/anti-Semitic connection:

These are the words of Oleh Tyahnybok: "They did not fear, but took up their automatic rifles, going into the woods to fight Muscovites, Germans, Jewry and other filth which wanted to take away our Ukrainian nationhood. It’s time to give Ukraine to the Ukrainians. Like them, you are most feared by the Moscow-Jewish mafia which today runs Ukraine"

So you read it? How will it affect Ukrainian steel exports, on your opinion?
Shame on you for writing applets. Personally I'm glad this cr*p is being killed off. Java belongs on a server.
No, it makes no difference at all. I would have thought the same before but you really need to use Snapchat to understand what it's all about.
Seen from Russia, there is a power struggle between EU and Russia about border drawing between their respective empires. Thinking in "empires" is popular in Russia. So seen from Russia, it is beyond doubt that the Kiev uprising is bankrolled by EU.

Seen from EU, EU hasn't really enough coherence to deal effectively with its internal problems, much less participate in any international power struggles. And the population is deeply tired of expansion. The only empires in the minds of EU are the ghosts of the British and French colonial empires. So EU has neither the will nor the capability to do something like this.
The solution is easier than that: only open up the appropriate buffers to DMA. It doesn't need to be virtualized, it just needs to be bounds checked.

Maybe I'm spoiled by good hardware, but when I wrote FireWire drivers for embedded systems, we didn't just open up DMA access to RAM willy-nilly.

I honestly don't know enough about OHCI to know what the hardware setup is like, but I suspect it's just laziness.
Aside: you can reply to a comment before its "reply" link has appeared by following the "link" link in the comment's header (next to its score and age/timestamp and such), instead of replying to its parent and breaking the conversation's flow.
For start Ukraine treaty does not handle subsidies. So France and other countries would be able to 'dump' their subsidized agricaltural product on Ukranien market. Ukraine farmers do not get subsidy, they have higher prices and would eventually bankrupt.

Industry is concetrated on east and exports/imports mainly to Russia. EU would make it very hard to trade with Russia. Factories could not sell product and could not import materials.

Joining EU is long process which takes years of negotiation. Poland is good example. But just signing whatever EU throws your direction is very bad deal.
> Don’t panic – if you are using FileVault2 and OS X Lion (10.7.2) and higher, the OS will automatically turn off DMA when locked – you’re still vulnerable to attacks when unlocked, though

So, not really a problem then?
Just remember that everything you read/see about Ukraine is propaganda published by someone who is trying to get you to agree with their point of view. They are careful to select their photos to not show the things that they don't want you to know about. For instance, these photos careful do not show the neo-nazi far right groups, the people with handguns, or the police being hit by flaming molotov cocktails or wounded by fireworks.

Of course the other side similarly delivers an edited message.

But the bottom line is that none of this is democracy. Whatever it is, it has to end sometime so that all the groups of people who live in Ukraine can sit down, discuss their differences, find compromises and live in peace. Only then will Ukraine really be a nation. Until then it is just a corner of the Soviet Union that has failed to catch up with the modern world.
Welcome to reality my Tunisian friend. I'm sorry its not more positive because I'm sure you were promised much better.

Yes my country had a "revolution" like this too. I myself was in the streets banging pots and pans and standing up to cordons of riot police. When it was all over, and "real democracy" took over, the country was sold to German banks company by company, factory by factory. Its still in the process of being sold in exchange for the glimmer of hope that we might one day join the glorious EU and its "reasonable" interest rates. That revolution that I really believed would bring about change? It turns out it cost about 100,000 USD to promote it and organize buses to truck people in and equip them to burn a bunch of stuff.
This is like someone on Fox News asking for a more neutral source about climate change than climate scientists.
I'll attempt to explain the point I think overgard is making in a little more detail:

There are many ways to signal not-belonging. For example, conversations like this one send a signal of not belonging to people who are culturally lower-middle class (hypersensitive political correctness is a social signal of upper-middle class liberal types). I imagine a similar signal is sent to brogrammers.

It also sends a signal of not belonging to those who have been bullied by politically correct sorts. See Scott Alexander for further thoughts on this: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/01/12/a-response-to-apophemi-...

It is clearly impossible to shield everyone from signals they do not belong, particularly from signals as subtle and tangential as the ones you are advocating against. So why do you single out women for protection on this ground?

Note: much like women, lower-middle class people are underrepresented in computing. So underrepresentation can't be the reason.
In my experience, it's always about offending people. But only theoretically, of course. It's hard to find significant quantities of people who are actually offended, which is in itself deeply ~problematic.~

>their impression is that the community here closes ranks to shout her down rather than accepting the legitimacy of her experience

It does say a lot about you and your friends that they assume that anyone who disagrees with them isn't coming from a legitimate experience of their own. Why is it only you and your friends that are Designated Spokepersons for All Women? Not everyone on here is biologically male, you know. Some of the people who think Adria Richards is an idiot happen to be women. Quite a few, actually, since oversensitive feminists make life much harder for women in tech to be taken seriously.

> brilliant, fun, unflappable women

Sure.

>But that means that Hacker News (and to some degree, tech in general) doesn't get the benefit of their participation.

Anyone this upset about the word "bro" isn't someone I want to spend time around anyway.
"Le secret des grandes fortunes sans cause apparente est un crime oublié, parce qu'il a été proprement fait." Quoted from Le Père Goriot (1835) by Honoré de Balzac
> And the blogosphere is manipulated into buying this as some kind of completely spontaneous grass roots movement

Completely absurd. All my extended family in Ukraine (plus all my former friends, classmates, and teachers) support the protests. Some were involved in parties such as Klitschko's Udar and Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna. Please keep listening to Radio Moscow.

The protests are not about prosperity or even about joining the EU. They are about preventing Russian-controlled mafia from running the country.

So the protesters have been more violent? Then why are there more of them dead than there are police and why are there more of them injured than police?
If you followed the news and read both sides, you'd see that there are dead policemen, and hundreds that are injured. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-prote...

I appreciate this alternative viewpoint! Thank you!

From the outside, it's hard to know what to believe. I'm not just going to take your word for it, but it's at least nice to see someone making the point that it's not as black-and-white as it seems.
Works for me, such a funny bug issue.
>seeing these "jokes" everywhere is literally the worst part of my day.

You must lead a very privileged life.
Don't take my word for it. Just realize that there are 2 sides, and 2 viewpoints to read...

All the media coverage has been very one sided...
> For start Ukraine treaty does not handle subsidies.

Article 32.1 states: "Upon entry into force of this Agreement, no Party shall maintain, introduce or reintroduce export subsidies or other measures with equivalent effect on agricultural goods destined for the territory of the other Party." And then it relegates the finer details to WTO treaties, which Ukraine already signed.

> EU would make it very hard to trade with Russia.

Which part of the agreement would make it difficult?
"Customers pay for information, not raw data" is the key take-away for me. I think customers pay even more readily for action, particularly marketers as they are often incapable of implementing actions (i.e. programming). See companies like Intercom.io and Customer.io that are cleaning up because they let marketers actually do something with their analytics.
I didn't find the bro thing offensive. What I DO find offensive is you marginalizing gender issues by comparing them to your experience vacationing in Asia.

I am not "miserable" or "angry." I was trying to let you know why women have a problem with this type of thing. Nowhere did I say everyone should be the same. But usually, there is a balance to the "jokes". To use your example from your time in Asian (or rather a parallel one, because an Asian in America is not really opposite to an american in asia): an Asian man in Africa would be treated differently. Just as an African man in Asia would be treated differently. In tech-related fields, women are treated differently. Everywhere. There is no anti-parallel universe (in tech) where women actually have the advantage, where women are making "sis" jokes about other women. That is the difference. We are, to use your analogy, white people living in Asia except there is nowhere else to live.
> Until then it is just a corner of the Soviet Union that has failed to catch up with the modern world.

Sounding a little patronizing here, no?
I have no idea what is going on in Kiev, but these images are amazing.
Thanks, didn't knew that!
This is presumptuous, uncharitable, and not particularly faithful to what actually happened.

By Mike's account, the unanticipated pivot to Google+ had nothing to do with being "tricked." Yes, selling your company does take the risk that the new parent company will shut down your product, but it also gives you access to resources you would not have had, which can ultimately make the product better than if you had stayed independent (thus benefiting your users). For example, Google Voice has been able to offer far more than GrandCentral's product did.

Is it a gamble? Yes, but not the simple "founders vs users" one you make it out to be.
Manipulated is the right word. Turkey has been trying to get into the EU for 30 years and it is still waiting. If Ukraine had signed that agreement, their politicians would right now be churning out new laws every week and the country would likely to be even more up in arms about the vastness of the changes. And they still would have the same strict visa requirements to get into the EU to work because those don't even have to change when a country is an official member. Rumania and Bulgaria learned this when they became EU members and many countries implemented strict visa quotas that prevented these new Europeans from working in other EU countries.

Anytime you read about a nationalist movement or an independence movement, someone is being manipulated. Independent nations are no longer possible in the modern world. Every country is now dependent on, and must cooperate with its neighbors. For Ukraine, that means its largest trading partner, Russia. Even the other EU countries are busy coming to all kinds of agreements, accords and treaties with Russia.
Well I would not doubt clones of the case will appear, many lan boxes are very small and can be made smaller.

The trick of the MacPro is the integration of the AMD video which isn't something a modder is going to do.
Protesters want Yanukovych to go away. They do not want to stay him as president. Power-sharing agreement is a bluff.
I do not understand your connection of neo-nazi symbols with Oleh Tyahnybok and Svoboda party. If someone wears something why do you apply it to this party?
Also UPA never collaborated with Nazis. They fought against communists and nazis at the same time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Insurgent_Army. They fought will middle 50s.
I assume Twitter can easily revert the followers to the original amount on this one.
Im not sure what your video is supposed to show. It is not like the police haven't done the exact same thing to protesters and the protestors are not as well geared as the police forces.

There has been a single policeman killed that is unknown whether it has any connection to the protests as he was off duty and not in the area of the protests. There have been 6-9 protestors killed and thousands more injured. So again which side is more violent?

>What I do see a problem with is just assuming that everyone trying to do their part to moderate culture so as to be more inclusive is just an Internet whiner.

This might have something to do with the fact that 99% of the time, they ARE internet whiners.

This is why no one wants to be associated with feminism anymore. An over fixation on censorship and a staggeringly low amount of self-awareness.
They are completely dominating the mobile console market right now. It's a significant source of income.

Maybe that doesn't count because that market is supposed to by dying (like the desktop PC market). But really the fact that it continues to exist, and very profitably, must be humiliating to armchair market watchers. Hence the hand-wringing.
What about not having doors, but panels sliding vertically? This would remove the issue of precision and homogeneity.
Computers Are The Future, But Does Everyone Need To Code?
Not really. It's just extraordinarily discouraging to be constantly reminded of a problem so deeply ingrained in millions of people that it couldn't possibly be completely addressed in my lifetime. It's pretty hard to stare into the abyss of those types of problems.
The risk isn't that someone gets all huffy and makes a big deal about being offended. It's that people who you would want to participate silently think to themselves "I don't want to deal with this" and then go away. It's explicitly not the oversensitive feminists I care about here; it's the reasonable, intelligent women and men who have a number of options on where to spend their time and choose not to spend it in communities where they feel unwelcome.

"Anyone who's offended by this isn't someone I want to spend time around anyway" can be a very effective way to filter your friends, but you have to be very careful that you apply it in a way that actually offends the right people. As an early-30s male in tech with a number of female friends and coworkers that I respect highly, I'll tell you that there are many people who my life has been quite enriched by who won't go near "brogrammer" culture or anything that sounds like it.
Perhaps they need more skills at throwing molotov coctails?
Steam machines are pointless and SteamOS might be irrelevant soon
I'm sure some feminist somewhere is offended by it. I mean, we say that we use programming languages for things. So clearly using Julia is condoning rape of women, or some such nonsense.
Just for comparison: alternative photo set of same Kiev in the same time: http://tema.livejournal.com/1589937.html

Photography is a great thing: with a proper selection one could change opinion of viewer pretty strong.
Frankly, if I imagine a good piece of software for transferring legitimate files, with appropriate privacy/security and a good featureset, it would also be excellent for piracy.

At the ~3 minute mark, Jobs says, "Apple and IBM emerge as the industry's strongest competitors. [...] It appears IBM wants it all. Apple is perceived to be the only hope. Dealers initially welcoming to IBM now fear an IBM-dominated future. They're increasingly turning back to Apple as the only force that can ensure their future freedom."

It's interesting how the future played out: users have rejected the notion that freedom is valuable. Perhaps something else was meant by "freedom" in those days, but it's hard to imagine something less free than the app store.
Yes, I feel rather superior being a dual citizen of a NAFTA country which gets along with its neighbors, and an EU country which also gets along with its neighbors. I simply do not agree with any political movement that is based on demonizing a group of citizens of your own country or based on demonizing a country which is a neighbor. Given that Ukrainians seem to be doing both, I am quite smug and patronising about that fact. In the end they have to stop shouting, and vilifying. They have to start talking and be willing to find compromises. That's the only way that will work in the 21st century.
Power-sharing is a sham. It would demoralize and disband protests while allowing the government to shift blame for the governments actions onto the protesters (who would then nominally be responsible for the governments actions), and give the protesters no real meaningful power. The governments proposal is intended to do nothing more than to have protesters abandon their position and allow the government to use the protesters as scapegoats. The concerns of the protesters would not be addressed.
You mean the PS3 and 360 combined eventually caught up.

The stated strategy of innovative hardware is a hit-maker, the Wii nailed it. If it's a fluke, the DS wouldn't be where it is today. There is a history of intent and delivery, anyone betting against that is a fool in my opinion.
> And finally, Yanukovych was not only democratically elected

You may want to fact-check that. Accounts on the matter, as they say, differ wildly.
Lets be honest, if your stupid enough to throw rocks at armed policemen and military, let alone malatov's your asking for it. The issue I am curious about verifying is supposed disappearances from hospitals.

Violent resistance will get that in return, to claim moral superiority for one side over another is reaching.
Yanukovych is a criminal who should never have even bee eligible to run: http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/from-prison-to-presi...

He rigged an election before and got caught. He is a convicted felon and a puppet controlled by Russia. There is no reality distortion field here: he is bad for Ukraine.

Remember, Ukraine does not have a separate judicial system to undo unjust laws. Therefore the people have a responsibility to directly protest these unjust laws (such as the law disallowing protests).

I am not defending violence, but saying that Yanukovych is somehow doing anything on the up and up is false, end of story.
I was able to increase my followers-count with a few hundred. Then "You are unable to follow more people at this time. Learn more here" happened. :(
I get really fucking tired of seeing men who are helping derided as "white knights". Trust me, women can TELL when someone is putting us on a pedestal and deciding that we have to be defended because we're such delicate flowers, and we're quick to call that bullshit when we see it. Most of us actually appreciate when our ALLIES step up to talk about this shit.

It's not about "saving us" -- we aren't fucking damsels in distress, and yes, we can speak for ourselves. But assholes like you have made eminently clear that you don't actually LISTEN to women, and so it's nice to know that some men actually have our backs and are willing to do the utterly thankless work of trying to explain shit to you.
From the Wikipedia link you citrd:

"In autumn 1943 some detachments of the UPA attempted to find rapprochement with the Germans. Although doing so was condemned by an OUN/UPA order from November 25, 1943, these actions did not end.[58] In early 1944 UPA forces in several Western regions engaged in cooperation with the German Wehrmacht, Waffen SS, SiPo and SD."

sega is the textbook example of why nintendo should not do what the OP is suggesting. better to burn out than fade away.
Well, it's very popular in Ukraine and kinda nazist point of view, considering Russia as root of all problems. That's why so many nazists amongst "protestors" and why we can have nazi state in Europe if they will take power.
