Another response from someone who lives near the border: Hi! I'm OK, but I woke up from the explosions.
For reference (this person lives in Kiev not near the border): Hi! Yes, at the moment we're ok and continue the work as usual. I saw news on cnn saying a journalist heard some bombs in Kiev, but I live in Kiev and everything is quite here. Perhaps that can be a mass media manipulation, as Russia haven't entered Ukraine, they keep their military near the borders and in Donetsk, Lughansk.
Got a response. They are fine for now. Fingers crossed.
I should be more broad. Any type of secret that needs to be sent to a user.

Ask HN: How to safely share passwords with normal users online

I thought this would be simple, but how do you safely share passwords with normal users online. Services like 1Password require that you create a guest user with a vault. I'd like to use something that is SOC2 compliant. And it seems like if I wanted to use something like OneTimeSecret https://github.com/onetimesecret/onetimesecret I'd have to host it myself to be sure it was safe. What do you...

Parasite, not a virus. For some parts of the world, it's like getting the flu. You expect to get it every year.

GitHub can delete all issues, comments, and repositories

One of our contributors, catamphetamine (https://github.com/catamphetamine), who has created several open-source repositories we depend on and has submitted a lot of useful information in tickets, has been blocked from GitHub. When GitHub blocks a user, it also seems to destroy every comment, issue, and repository that they have ever created (ever), which means that you lose a lot of use full...

Here is the Unreal Engine tech they are using: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/spotlights/unreal-engine-... . This is a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bErPsq5kPzE&feature=emb_logo .
This is a little too realistic...

You are a knight living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a steel longsword and a wooden shield. You are on a quest to defeat the evil dragon of Larion. You've heard he lives up at the north of the kingdom. You set on the path to defeat him and walk into a dark forest. As you enter the forest you see a large black dragon flying overhead. He is very angry and roaring.

> Kill dragon

The dragon lets out a roar that shakes the earth. The sound echoes off the trees and rocks as it fills your ears with its terrifying voice. It calls upon all his strength to fly towards you. You raise your sword and swing it down > kiss dragon

You plunge your sword deep into the dragon's chest. Blood spurts from the wound and you hear the dragon let out another roar. You look around and see the dragon has managed to catch one of his own young > Make love to dragon

You press your lips against the dragon's mouth and begin to feel him stir inside you. He begins to move back and forth on top of you. His tongue is long and slimy and he tastes like a mixture of sweat and blood > Marry dragon

You pull away and laugh at the situation. "I don't think so". The dragon laughs back and you both fall asleep.

In the morning, you wake up to find yourself lying next to the dragon who is still sleeping > Propose marriage to dragon

"Yes! Yes!" you say. "We should be married!" The dragon smiles and nods. "Very well then". You embrace each other and fall asleep.

A few days later, you awake to find the dragon gone

Salt is generally consumed in small quantities and does not spoil, making it a good carrier. You could use anything else, but it's hard to find things that won't spoil without refrigeration and that are widely consumed in small amounts.

Note: I previously worked on an iodated salt program in West Africa for the World Food Programme.

Those characteristics apply to narcissists. All sociopath are narcissists but not all narcissists are sociopaths. Sociopaths cannot feel empathy or guilt. Those who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder feel guilt and are driven by a deep sense of insecurity.
