So true; Russian MO is to use ~18-60 year old males from occupied territories as cannon fodder. Europeans should be flooding Ukraine with weapons (and other kinds of support) and thanking their luck that somebody else is willing to risk their lives and use them against the onslaught that would otherwise be directed at the EU countries.

Of course, it's just a question of Ukraine knowing what's good for it (and the poor Russians) and folding so that all of the dying stops!

Nice one, аноним29; I hope you made your day's quota!


You must have missed my comment about opposing the war. But this kind of bad faith accusation is really disappointing to see on HN. The caliber of discourse here is usually much higher - people engaging with the actual merits of the points being raised, not reverting to attacking strawmen that only exist in their head as if this was Facebook.

Ordinary Russian and Ukranian people are both victims of this war. It is being waged for reasons neither of them chose, that neither of them asked for, that neither of them wanted. Civilians are being killed on both sides, and the people most vested in the continuation of the conflict are those that reap all of the profits from the war while paying none of the human costs. This is a classic principal-agent problem.

If you can't see the inhumanity in the structural forces at play and want to play a game of "attack the strawman" to score meaningless internet points while millions die needlessly over a pointless war, I can't force you to stop, but I'd at least hope you can grow up and take the tragedy and human suffering seriously enough at some point to care more about that than you do about your HN rep.


> You must have missed my comment about opposing the war.

You're opposing the war in the same way Russian propaganda "opposes" it: if only Ukraine stopped fighting, so many lives would have been saved!

But Ukrainians don't have that choice; if they stop fighting against the Russian aggression, they will be fighting as part of it in a few years when Russia invades the next country over. Not to mention losing their culture in the cultural genocide that Russia is committing in the occupied territories.

On the other hand, Russians can stop fighting and go home any time you guys feel sufficiently "opposing the war". But that option is clearly not what you're advocating here with your posts.


Ukrainians had a choice as well which is why many of their men and women escaped and are now living in various European neighbouring countries instead of rotting in a ditch somewhere.

Glad that you are thinking so much about Ukrainians.

Don't forget that hundreds of thousands of russians are rotting in ditches as of now. Save some pity for them too.


Most of Europe stopped letting Russian conscription refugees cross the border.

I'm not Russian either.


There is no such thing as russian conscription refugees - all of the invading army consists of military contractors now.

It was a brief period in 2022 where russia was forced to conscript to save itself from total loss.



My words:

> It was a brief period in 2022 when russia was forced to conscript to save itself from total loss.

Atricle:

> 25 September 2022

At present, the russian army is the biggest mercenary army in the world.

The longer you stick around HN, the less surprising this is.

HN does not punish commenting in bad faith, and the design of HN's gamified engagement systems encourages bad-faith use of the downvote and flagging system.


That wouldn't be half as bad, by comparison. But it's more like learning how to survive in the Russian "meat wave" corps a bit longer than your peers.

Looking at the parts of Eastern Ukraine that were under Russian occupation since 2014 and are now almost devoid of male population, that's what happens if you're not willing to fight in your own (European) army: sooner or later you end up fighting in the Russian one.


> and intense activity

AFAIR those had a specific purpose (chasing a perp, tracking down evidence, etc.). Most of his thinking he did sitting in a chair and smoking his pipe for hours on end (sometimes the whole night).


No they are not. He plays violin and shoots a gun inside his house for fun.


One scenario: have a profile for each client so that you can open any website in the context of your work for that client.

Containers then can be used to separate multiple logins into the same website: e.g. you're testing a multi-user app and want to login as admin and user at the same time - containers make that easy without having to mess with incognito/private modes (those will forget your login as soon as you close them).


Not only confusing, but also kinda powerful: we now have three(!) levels of indirection: old profiles -> new profiles -> containers :)


Containers are nice, but they are, as you said, not as powerful as the new profiles system (which is, incidentally, almost as easy to use as containers now that we can switch between them right in the UI).

At this time there are essentially three levels of indirection: "legacy" profiles -> new profiles -> containers, that is we can have multiple legacy profiles with each having multiple new profiles, each with an independent group of containers in them.

To choose a legacy profile, use the -P CLI option (with or without a profile name). Once firefox starts, you can switch between the new profiles stored inside the current legacy one using the new UI.


Up-to-date vaccination list is a requirement for immigrant visa in Canada.

57% of drs are fake, do you think 100% the certificates are genuine?


Only for stays greater than six months. So an unvaccinated person can fly in from wherever and stay for 180 days legally, or just overstay their visa. That's plenty of time to spread measles.


> "If you have to ask, ask and learn..."

Totally! But also keep in mind this :)

What is the expiry of those options? And how much of his capital is he betting on them? If I'm not mistaken, what made the big short spectacular was him betting the farm on it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just another day in the office for him?
