There is absolutely no way that Google will derive direct financial benefits from defending some Ukrainian journalism project from DDOS attacks. So it should be obvious that your assumptions about their motivation is wrong. Yes, maybe their

Slack didn’t take over its market with advertisement & marketing (although that’s certainly helpful). It was just better than IRC, which is the open protocol people often compare it to. And if you feel the impulse to list the ways that

If it’s possible to prevent some action entirely by technical means, then there is no need for law against it. The prohibition against murder is also “unenforceable” in the sense that there will never be any murder.

I‘m in the same position and agree wrt to the term „cultural appropriation“. One example for IP shared by a culture would, however, be protected terms of origin, such as Champagne or Bourbon.

Google, not being a government, may editorialize , using the same right you avail yourself of when you post your opinion, but not mine. Google cannot censor . By definition. Neither can Yandex. Both can be censored however, although on

The optimistic takes are stronger than „temporarily stuck“. It’s basically „in a position where nothing can move forward or backward“. The road is blocked, the vehicles are out of fuel, with many wrecks in between. Food is running out and,

This is directed at western markets. Nobody needs to be told there’s a war on, The company would just expose itself to useless additional risk from the Russian government. Now I’d wish they’d choose to go down in glory and spread the truth

I don’t believe factories here in Germany run 24/7, to be honest. But anyway: wind energy is quite cheap at night.

They are lawyers. „Pathetic“ is the after-shave they use. “Liability” is the nickname for the kid they secretly loath. “Blame” is a verb.

There might be a bit too much optimism right now, but I’m enjoying how the Ukrainian PR runs circles around Putin. At least for a moment, they are riding this wave where everything seems to work.

At 200, it’s really not much trouble. Civilian police has probably seen little impact and could easily hold them. It’s a country of 40 million people. Vast swaths of the countryside haven’t seen any fighting. This is a non-issue for now. An

It isn’t entirely up to Germany to decide on a strategy that works for them. With the restrictions on SWIFT it’s entirely plausible that deliveries will seize, either because there no way to pay for them, or because Russia is willing to hur

Replacing them with coal would have been a good idea, at least as far as Russia is concerned, since it’s a local source of energy. In reality it was, indeed, natural gas and renewables. Bringing Thunberg into this discussion serves no purpo
