This sounds like the same level of understanding about copyright law that led one NFT group to spend $3m on a rare Dune art book thinking it would give them the IP rights to the art.

The WSJ reported US officials saying it looked intentional based on black box data. The main alternative theory was that someone who wasn't a pilot deliberately did it.

Unfortunately not. The majority of countries have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, but this doesn't include Russia, or Ukraine, or the US.

Ironically, one of Putin's stated reasons for invading Ukraine was that Ukraine might get nuclear weapons.

Source?

Vladimir Putin: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/23/us/politics/putin-ukraine...

> Mr. Putin’s arguments occupied a third of his speech to the Russian people on Monday, when he made a series of bizarre charges that “Ukraine intends to create its own nuclear weapons, and this is not just bragging.”

And if you don't trust NYT, just listen to his speech...

I just asked because I didn't read this news, you don't need to be so salty

But in case I'd ask you since seems like you speak Russian and you can understand his speech

Anything Putin says is worthless

True, but that's why I said "stated reason". Here's the full speech: https://theprint.in/world/modern-ukraine-entirely-created-by...

Duh, really… The person asked for a source…

Awful.

A lot of people in threads a few days ago like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30335610 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30405782 were terribly wrong. This wasn't just Russia's annual war games in the region. This wasn't the US and media pushing for a war. If anything, this was the US declassifying things in real time to tell the world what was happening to prevent war.

>I wish US security services didn't spend last 6 years working hard on having their credibility on anything regarding Russia sacrificed to near-sighted political goals. I wish US politicians didn't use "Russia" as a cheap smear to throw around when they couldn't think of anything better. Maybe if they didn't spend 6 years crying wolf, when the real wolf came, we'd be a bit more ready.

Heck, you still have dragonwriter elsewhere in this discussion connecting this war with Brexit, Trump, and even Catalonian separatism. Catalonian separatists will be amused to hear that they are all Russian stooges, or something.

Major US media (and not just the ones usually perceived as hostile the current President’s party), has been openly mocking Administration descriptions, and scare-quoting “invasion” in headlines about the administration response as recently as today.

Now, if you want to say actively undermining the effort at deterrence is pushing for war, sure, they were pushing for war, but...

It's in the Windows 2000 leak.

Ironically, if I had to guess based on the name of this app, I'd have guessed it was a kink-themed dating app.

Unsatisfied niche btw.. There is effectively no dating app for kinksters, but a lot of people are into kink.

That was very definitely my thought as well.

2022 is wild.

In their "basic medicine kit": Oxycodone/acetaminophen (severe, short term pain)

Paracetamol isn't normally an alternative for oxycodone. Also, if travelling internationally, I'm pretty sure there are countries that will consider oxycodone as equivalent to heroin even if you have a prescription.

It seems a lot of us came up with 12347 for the first line.

While natural in terms of just inputting numbers, it's also not bad to use as first guess because primes are denser (in an "average absolute distance" sense) the lower the magnitude you're around. Without having checked, I would expect there to be more primes of the form 123** than 987**, so you're more likely to gain correct digits with this guess.

Edit: I checked, it's 9 vs 8 primes. But nearby prefixes also have more and there's a lot of variance. Still, there are overall more primes among the same range of smaller numbers (1000-5499 has ~4400 primes, 5500-99999 has ~4000).

Note that, despite this, you probably shouldn't include 0 in the starting guess (e.g. 10247) because 0 will be in the solution less frequently (can't be the leading digit), meaning you gain less info on average.

I read the "help" thing, which suggested 71429 as the first guess, so I started there. (9 was right, and the other digits were wrong. That meant the second guess got the right digits, and the third guess got the right prime.)

56809 is a pretty good second guess for this situation :p

Ha, those were exactly my first 2 guesses.

I thought coming up with primes would be very challenging, but then my first three guesses were all prime (all I did was pick numbers that ended with odd numbers that weren't five). I got it on the fourth after a few attempts at entering the number - the prime constraint here makes it easier.

There are 8,363 five digit primes. If you limit your guesses to numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, and 9, there is a 23% chance of randomly picking a prime.
