You underestimate the creativity of highly motivated teenage boys searching for adult material.


I think you confused me with someone else. I'm saying this won't stop highly motivated teenage boys searching for adult material at all.


I wonder how this will affect political discourse in the USA. Legitimate question. I’m not concerned with “sides”, more interested to know if there will be less “division/fiery rhetoric”. There seems to have been a systemic psyops campaign from foreign actors into US political “hot” topics.


Absolutely not, this cannot be to restrict access of bad actors TO the West. This is to restrict regular old Russian citizens from getting information FROM the West. There is no chance at all that such blockage cuts off the ability to conduct military operations on the internet.


It's also possible that Russian troll factories still have their own VPN to outside the Russian firewall.


It's not just possible, it's very, very likely.


I would take 100 to 1 odds on that as well. No way the troll farms are blocked. Just scroll through twitter feed on a fresh account. Lots of obvious Iranian and Russian troll farm bots. I think if I was a billionaire I'd probably set up American "patriotism" troll farms, but they would be milquetoast and happy medium "western civilization is great bots" instead of all the hyper partisan stuff. If nothing else as an experiment.

It is a fact that Kremlin sponsored psyops campaigns worked to hinder her candidacy. The Mueller report laid this out in detail.

To answer your question, I think they were wondering if this would make it more difficult for Russian groups to do perform these psyops jobs. My thought is no: these groups will likely not have to deal much with these firewalls, considering they're explicitly backed by the Kremlin in their effort.


I've received some downvotes here that I don't quite understand, I am guessing folks haven't read the report or understood it:

High level reporting of the report contents: https://time.com/5610317/mueller-report-myths-breakdown/

Volume 1 of the report itself, a pretty easy read really: https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/download


They’re cleaner than a car that burns fossil fuels every time it moves.


But dirtier during construction. More difficult to repair most of the time too. Pros and cons. If you keep an EV for a long time, than it is cleaner. But a lot of EVs are thrown out instead of being repaired. The real solution is to share cars and, ride a bicycle, walk or use public transport when possible.


> But a lot of EVs are thrown out instead of being repaired

That's not true. There are battery recycling plants going bankrupt because the expected surge of dead EV's didn't materialize. EV's are staying on the road longer than expected, and the batteries are being reused rather than recycled or thrown out.


Presumably because if you need to defrost the windscreen or windows you need it done immediately as it’s a visibility hazzard.


Ah yes, OSI layers 8 and 9.


Contractors are an elastic workforce. They can be expanded or reduced depending on market conditions.


I have a feeling the drug companies are doing just fine. The high quality marketing and TV commercials during every episode of Jeopardy! (USA) indicate that they’re not cutting back anytime soon.


If you were an evernote fan, try Upnote as a replacement.


A few suggestions: On Macos a menubar item would be nice to pop the app up. Also, expanding the Language set to include bash and a few other common languages would be ace. Finally, if you remove the canvas background or set it to the same as the app background color, it will eliminate the white flicker when you resize the app window. If I get time, I may take a look and put in a PR.


Yes, I'd like to add more languages. It's currently limited to what Lezer (https://lezer.codemirror.net/) supports . However I just found this repo (https://github.com/withfig/lezer-bash) which seems to be Lezer grammar for bash, so I can probably use that for bash syntax support.

> Finally, if you remove the canvas background or set it to the same as the app background color

Will look into that. Thanks!

> On Macos a menubar item would be nice to pop the app up

Hm, not sure what this means, sorry :)?

EDIT: Now I googled "macos menubar" and see what you mean :). I'll look into it!


Would love to see support for Swift as well!


So I can use grep and pbcopy to interact with this on the CLI. Too cool! Thank you for a great app.


The buffer file has a syntax for the block separators, but it's human readable. Here's what it looks like:

  ∞∞∞text
  content of note 1
  ∞∞∞text-a
  note 2
  -a denotes that the block language is in autodetect mode and 
 might change
  ∞∞∞css
  .some-class {
etc...
