The current trend is to move from cash to electronic money controlled by the banks. Previously the money deposited to a bank account was the clients money that the bank just kept. Now it's the banks money that can be frozen by any reas

My phone is supposed to support GPS, Glonass, Beidou and Galileo, so apparently all of them were jammed.

For the past 10 years I've been travelling to Russia occasionally. Normally during a flight I like opening up my GPS app to check the location, altitude and speed of the aicraft. About a year ago I noticed that shortly after crossing R

You must be kidding, Google is becoming worse every day. Still better than useless Bing though.

Wow, that's so terrible! Cashless society is a real threat.

"Destruction of value" assumes that Elon paid what Twitter was worth back then, which is not necessarily true.

2 hours slot was allocated for that task. There was an API that I had to use to perform some operations and that made the task easier, as there was no need to study the entire code. C was used as the programming language, with a few thousan

The best interview that I ever experienced was when I applied for a Software Engineer position at VMware. The interviewers brought a laptop with an IDE and a project with a bunch of source code (based on one of their real in-house projects)

Recently I opened an IRA account at Fidelity. I had my 401k with them for more than a decade. Soon after I opened it they locked my account demanding ID and papers proving my residential address. I'm not sure what else they may request

There's plenty of STM32 of any flavor in China. Alibaba is a good source. There may be fakes though, but reputable resellers (pay attention to reviews and tenure) normally sell genuine chips.

Absolutely agree. The amount of hate increased significantly over the last few decades. A lot of people became absolutely intolerant to other's views. Many of my friends stopped talking about politics, because it quickly becomes drama.

Absolutely agree. And one more thing that looked incomprehensible just a short while ago was that Russia could completely shut down the gas flow to Europe (Russia needs money for the war in the end, so why would it do it?). However it seems

Adjusting your attitude to stop telling people to adjust their attitude might actually result in a much healthier atmosphere, not the woke madness we see now.

This adresses the problem partially. The insider often doesn't trade the stocks of their corporation, instead they tip others to trade it. There are networks of C-execs constantly tipping each other.

You don't need to be into electronics to appreciate the beauty of such high-end devices. Overall the teardown videos of this Youtube channel are amazing.

Bad diplomacy in recent times has the same roots - a lot of people stopped accepting balanced views. They think that solely their own opinion is correct, and they start calling names (racist, sexist, troll, etc), downvoting whenever someone

Absolutely agree. Moreover, it's the diplomatic incompetence on both sides that led to this war, which in my opinion could be easily avoided.

Total number of howitzers, MLRS etc across all NATO countries combined is in the same range as what Russia posesses. So that is not going to end the war, just more people will die. This is not a soccer game.

Yes, but the taste of the veggies, fruits, berries and meat is far worse in supermarkets vs buying directly from growers / butchers.

To me the most worrying is the number of articles with opposite point of view popping up recently stating that the nuclear exchange wouldn't result in anything catastrophic. Like someone said here in the comments "just sit in a b

It may very quickly get out of control into a full scale nuclear war, and that may literally happen in minutes. Recently I often see articles suggesting that limited use of nukes might be ok, I hope the people who make the actual decisions

There used to be a time when the US and Europe were dream countries, millions of people always considered them to be the safe havens duly protected by the best laws. This made those countries prosper, as anyone who had high earnings from th

Ukraine did not appease Russia, that's the problem. If you look up the news 2 weeks ago you'll see that Putin sent a note to NATO demanding guarantees that Ukraine will never join that organization. West told Putin to mind his own

My point is that in all of those cases there were reasons behind the attacks. You are not calling Bush or Clinton crazy for what they did right? Same for Russians.

This doesn't look much different from the US attacking Iraq or Yugoslavia. All these attacks have serious reasons behind them (and those reasons are not protecting poor children as mass media would tell you).

You are right about large majority of Russians being complicit, and right when saying "what seems to be a dictator going mad". Because it's not a dictator going mad, in fact Putin has quite clear goals and is quite predicta

I would argue with "society has clearly chosen" statement. The governments are putting more and more strict regulations in place for last decades and they often don't care what the society thinks about those. There used to be

Exactly, same problem is for entertainment, although it's in a bit better position - there are a few websites that serve related information. As for fairs and exhibits - so far the only usable site I was able to find is www.expodatabas

Thanks, interesting site. But I need broader topic coverage, search by keywords, and an ability to stream new events as a feed.

Ask HN: Is there a website that provides a feed of events/exhibits/trade shows?
