What is Zelenky's counterstrategy?

"President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called for more air defence missiles and the supply of modern fighter jets."

Genius.

May I wonder what would you propose in his stead ?

I am not a military inclined person, but asking for missiles that are purposefully built to target air missiles as well as their delivery mechanisms seems reasonable to me.

Am I missing something ?

I was under the impression that GPS was heavily disabled/interfered in the area. Do these use a different guidance system to reach their targets?
born2discover · 2 years ago
I would assume Russian military would not be relying on GPS but use GLONAS[1] instead.

When will it be available in Sweden?

I followed the prompt on the website and signed up for the newsletter, but I got so much marketing spam that was totally irrelevant to my one and only question that I had to unsubscribe.

Same question but for Switzerland.

Free legal documents are worth what you pay for them.
born2discover · 2 years ago
This actually depends. If you need something specific, tailored to your needs and operational niche, then obviously you can not forego a visit to a lawyer. However, for some documents, a reputable template is more than enough. (As even lawyers rarely draft "bespoke" documents for every client and happen to use a templated text more often than not).

I have a raspberry PI in my room... but this is my email server, my noscript/basic (x)html map server (using OSM tile servers), my web server...

:)

(next step is RV64 hardware with linux, then this RV64 hardware with an ultra-minimal kernel not using gcc/clang compilers).

born2discover · 2 years ago
My apologies for hijacking the thread, but could you please elaborate on your noscript/(x)html map setup ?

How would one even handle zooming and paning in such a case ? With forms ?

Just buy premium. Not only do you avoid ads on all your devices (tv, phone, computer), you also get background playing of yt videos on your iPhone, which is an awesome feature. Not to mention, you support the livelihoods of the creators you watch (they get 55% of that money!)

And ad a bonus, you get to be tracked everywhere for a tiny monthly fee ! Who wouldn't want that ! /S

Is the idea for commercial search engine a bad idea? Where only e-commerce websites are tracked instead of the whole web? I don't understand this idea of intent tracking, guessing and suggestions. I explicitly want good results for my query, I have already made my mind to buy something. For this reason, I despise that Facebook guesses my intent when I visit an e-commerce website through Google search and starts suggesting related websites on its apps in async manner. All I want is, give me an interface to search for relevant query. I don't care if I search on Google or Facebook.
born2discover · 2 years ago
Your comment is based on the premises that Meta/Google... are there to help you shop/find the best result once you've made your mind. For that purpose, an optimised search engine is indeed very useful.

But I don't think that's why intent profiling exists. What if, instead of helping you find quickly what you are looking for, they forced you through a less perfect system that, while leading you to your result, suggests you other, somewhat similar articles... Maybe you'll buy more? That incentivises ads and thus increases profits for the AdTech.

This article is severely dated. On 27th October the Supreme Court decided that the cases would only be partially closed to the public and that the accused would have full access to the charges and supporting material. The Prosecution Service asserted that this would expose highly sensitive material to unacceptable risk of unauthorized disclosure and dropped the cases.

The Guardian seems to have covered that as well here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/04/ex-danish-defe...

I don’t blame the tooling, there’s nothing stopping you from creating an old school PHP website.

I blame the audience. These JS frameworks and cloud-everything services exist to shave every possible millisecond off from the experience because we all have the attention spans of a goldfish now.

born2discover · 2 years ago
According to the lore a goldfish has an attention span of about 3 seconds, are you sure humans nowadays have one *that long* ?
