Does 5G at least help with the push notifications? I remember reading somewhere that one of the reasons why non-centralized push notifications suck was that the telco hardware kills the connection (presumably due to limited memory)?

The FTTH networks in Scandinavia are more than 20 years old now. The UK fiber plans were abandoned what, 30 years ago? Demand for bandwidth grows faster, yes, but it's not like you can't lay a larger pipe to begin with...

1. German coal usage went up since the war started. Their needs for transporting coal are up so much so that it's causing problems for passenger rail. 2. In 19 years, they could have moved most of their power generation to nuclear, lik

HN userbase is older and more American than tech in general. It follows that they are more invested in the legacy financial system than most and don't even encounter the problems crypto tries to solve. Also sour grapes.

There is no magic in JS that makes something insecure simply by using JS. Unverifiable? If it's not minified you could literally just right click and read it before typing in your secret. Similarly, there is no magic dust in a live CD

Proof of having a capability and proof of using said capability is not the same thing. Your line of reasoning is no different from people who bitch about security patches costing performance when there is no evidence of exploits in the wild

Well, now the US has outsourced to Musk not only the space capabilities but also the groveling to the Russians. In for a penny, in for a pound?

It seems that being EA adjacent is not a good proxy for competence nor trustworthiness. No one could have predicted this. /s I wonder what portion of bag holders in this round were part of the cohort that hasn't seen a crypto wint

Oh, I see, the ones you call actual nazis, that would be the far-right hooligans with some tattoos or whatever that every single country in the world has? And the ones you wouldn't go as far as calling them nazis, that would be the com

1956 is Hungarian Uprising, Prague Spring is 1968. They also did tons of vile stuff in the Baltics. Russian imperialism goes much further back too, e.g. Partitions of Poland, colonization of Caucasus. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

You ignore that entities other than 'the West' (one homogenous blob apparently) and Russia have agency. NATO doesn't expand, countries voluntarily join because they don't want Russia to fuck them over (again). Your point

Sure, we could call everyone who does something bad a monster. The world is not binary though, everyone is not either a perfect hero or a villain. Unless your point is that Saddam and Albright were equally bad it makes little sense to call

What next? Is refusing doing business with Russia a war crime, too? After all, some civilians might lose their livelihoods and starve to death, right?

From the point of view of American isolationists, there is no difference. There is a difference for Europeans, in that Ukraine being engulfed by a full scale war will result in around 40M refugees in the EU, almost 10% of EU population. Tha

People in the EU are not going to freeze to death even if Russian gas and oil is banned. Germany would lose a few percent of GDP, equivalent to couple hundred bucks per capita. I would be surprised if they pull of the ban before this winter

Yeah, never mind the dictator who used chemical weapons against the population of Iraq on multiple occasions. Never mind the invasion of Kuwait, either, the monster in this story was clearly Albright. /s

You forgot the part where Chavez and Maduro took a relatively well functioning state and turned it into a failed one.

Yes, I literally think that. It's not a coincidence that some of the claimed sanctions or support for Ukraine had to be walked back (jets) -- it's a direct consequence of lacking preparation and coordination. One example of someth

You massively underestimate the complexity required of any such conspiracy. NATO has 30 member states, EU has 27 member states. Most have leaders who can not ignore domestic public opinion and they almost never agree on anything. Some have

Heh, that will sound familiar to many. Funny how westerners are surprised by this. Not telling the grunts what they are going into has been Russian modus operandi since forever... Just like throwing bodies at the problem, sending conscripts

People still remember Chechnya and Afghanistan, so I think they expect to have to use unofficial sources for certain kinds of information, like getting information about their dead or missing relatives. I guess we'll see what happens w
