This article has flaws. Just in the above portion alone: The rules of conduct were established by the Soviet Union too. They were a founding member of the United Nations, and a member of the League of Nations before that. As a permanent mem

The only motive is Putin's vanity and greed. He's a revanchist, pining for the days of the USSR. He hates democracy because he's scared of it. He was in Dresden as a KGB officer when East Germany imploded, and attached himsel

I can imagine a scenario of acceptable first use of nukes, and that is against a country using nukes as a threat so they can conduct atrocities with conventional weapons. I do not know what number or rate of dead I would get on board with v

I was unconvinced Iraq was an imminent threat at the time, and always considered the invasion a violation of the U.N. charter. But these are qualitatively different invasions. There were around a dozen U.N. resolutions directing Iraq disarm

A 100% democracy doesn't require everyone agree. It just requires that the losers of elections submit to the winners, i.e. refrain from violence. Also a 100% democracy does not require a total lack of minority rights. You can have both

CIE L*C*h is based on either CIE 1976 L*a*b* or CIE 1976 L*u*v*, it's just a different representation. <--for formatting or the asterisks vanish. For displays you're incrementally better off using LChuv. But note that

I wonder if we're desensitized too. The TMobile breach in 2021 was upwards of 100 million. Full SSN, date of birth, driver's licenses. It was discussed here but really not much outcry considering the size and quality of the data t

It already is, except they are adults. My experience in United lounges the past year, barely worth free, not worth paying for. Bad coffee, even the on demand espresso capucino maker is crap. Lots of packaged food with signs you have to eat

Well of course it takes the invasion of privacy of upper echelon for it to be taken seriously. Had they been nobodies it would not be a scandal it would be normal. This is the problem with things like EARN IT too. Only once it's used a

Off topic rant, BUT I'm gonna... What is this? Why is it so much faster, and mobile friendly layout than either Twitter.com or their mobile app? And why does Twitter.com spam me with an overlay telling me to use the mobile app before I

It is not legal to speed to pass in most states. I've only found Wyoming, Idaho, Minnesota and Washington have such a law on the books, up to 10mph over the posted speed limit. For sure in Colorado it's not legal to exceed the spe

They're not equivalent illegalities. Speeding involves a much higher energy state than rolling stop. If there's an accident, very clearly one is much worse.

Same for "microwaves are bad" believers. They are angry people. Over what, I do not know, but I think they have a deep fear of their own ignorance and use anger to compensate. Somehow they learned at a young age the winner of an a

I agree, except for ABS and power steering. As much as I think Tesla is overrated and overpriced, human drivers suck really badly at the edge cases. Certainly the vast majority of people can't out brake an ABS in slippery conditions le

Every week my google workspace accounts kick me out on my laptop, and I have to log back in with a password. This never happens on my Android phone with those accounts. And also not on the laptop with my regular gmail account.

I'm wondering why I'm finding out about this on HN and theverge, rather than being informed by the outfit that wants my money. Also, I wonder what happens if I let this account die. It's tied to Google Fi. Are they going to k

Option-u (or e) followed by any Latin letter and you get that letter with umlaut or accent. Things like that I miss from macOS. I still have no idea how to do that on GNOME.

What is the magnitude scale for volcanoes vs earthquakes? The tsnumai.gov site says this is magnitude 1.0 but without units or type. So I wonder if it's a tsunami potential specific scale?

For sure stop talking to them directly, and maybe don't even bother with a lawyer unless you're really willing to sue them for non-payment. Otherwise it's water under the bridge, write them off, spend your time and resources
