If I had to put money on it, I'd bet on this regime continuing to ignore the rule of law and illegally remaining in power, until some insurrection... Yes I'm talking about the MAGA regime. They're already ignoring so many laws and court orders...
Seems like this is something Trump can be thanked for: showing Europeans how American companies are so eager to please him and how dependency on US tech can be very harmful.
Don't forget the Google paid $1 million to have a front row seat for their CEO at the Trump inauguration...
Oh look at you, how easy for you to demand of others that they put themselves in danger before you deem them worthy of protection. "You must have proof you've been arrested by Putin's police before we let you in here!". So they must risk the chance of immediate imprisonment in a freezing Siberian dungeon before you open your generous doors...
And graduates working for the Belarussian state, why is that acceptable and not considered as "conspiring with the war criminals" in your eyes? What other barriers are there that you have in your mind we don't know about, for someone who's worked as expected, and fled the country afterwards?
This page (1) reports 9 stops (between start and destination):
> The plane took off – for the 1st leg of the flight from Amsterdam to Batavia – on 30 April. The schedule: Budapest 30 April, Athens 1 May, Cairo 2 May, Baghdad 3 May, Jask 4 May, Jodhpur 5 May, Calcutta 6 May, Tavoy 7 May, Medan 8 May and arriving in Batavia on 9 May.
This page(2) claims a max speed of 190km/h. Budapest to Athens is 1130 km apart, so if the plane was flying around 150km/h, it's a 7 hour trip for that segment. Ouch. At least the passengers probably had a nice dinner and slept every night in a nice hotel...
An Instagram video I saw (yeah I know, great source) said that the idea is to cut off oil supply to China, which was getting it from Venezuela and Iran. That the 2 events are connected is new to me, and it's surprising considering the Trump regime acts seemingly more like a chicken with its head cut off.
But maybe it's all in service to Putin, who will now get to fill his war chest with the profits of the high-priced oil he can sell to China, and India...
I wonder how much chaos a minute that only has 59 seconds would cause. Measurements would be off by that missing second (e.g. a pipeline delivering fuel at 60 liters/minute would surprisingly only have 59 liters in that minute..).
Nobody should be using an API like time(2) or clock_gettime(2)+CLOCK_REALTIME to measure event durations with sub-second precision or accuracy, especially when controlling mechanical equipment. And I'd be absolutely surprised if anybody was when controlling equipment, at least in a regulated industry.
On unix this is what CLOCK_MONOTONIC is for; for one thing, the real-time clock can be reset at any time. Technically even CLOCK_MONOTONIC could jump forward. Real-time embedded systems either provide other timing APIs, or make additional guarantees about CLOCK_MONOTONIC's behavior.
I feel like most of us don't know what we're actually doing when we do t2-t1 to get a duration. Feels like it'd be in a lot of places and a negative number is going to cause havoc. Even worse if it's an unsigned int and you roll over to some massive duration.
Well, ~1 hour after the race: it got the bets correct. But it didn't expect that Piastri would crash on the way to the grid (of course, we haven't invented a future-seeing AI yet ;) ).
But this is very voodoo, it's asking 3 black boxes "What do you think", they answer, but you probably can't see their reasoning. Or can you?
Did you read the Wikipedia link above? Sheesh, 10 years of civilian use.
Imagine if your mom's lived somewhere for many years, and one day the SWAT team barges in and shoots her dead because their intel showed it was a meth lab in 2016...
