Does it need to? Also what would Tesla contribute back, considering they're not actually in the gaming business?

I mean, YoY is more useful than monthly numbers (because there's always seasonal variation in certain goods). But yes, the title could have been worded more clearly.

I mean, there's really no value versus Ubuntu or Fedora. It's basically Ubuntu + different DE + more bugs. Not surprising they haven't been able to make much money from it.

Countries like India and Brazil are so stratified in terms of wealth that you essentially have people who have no chance of affording it, ever, and people with the same or more disposable income as those in the west. So the strategy is to

Ugh really wish that a non-Apple vendor could make an ARM chip of this calibre. Jealous but cat bring myself to use a proprietary OS and get locked into Apple.

So complying with sanctions? Someone upthread said you guys weren't residents? Anyhow thanks for protesting, hopefully it's all over soon.

Ok then it's probably an error... Dunno, just guessing. This whole thread is based on a tweet...

Based on the tweet they are physically in Russia (talked about being detained for protesting against Putin). So guessing they've tried to make transactions in Russia.

There always is someone willing to cut a deal to save themselves... And the west will facilitate it.

It's still "Russians knocking off their leadership". People aren't expecting Russians on the street to get rid of Putin. They're expecting that it will cause pressure on other Russian leaders to side with Russians

Fall of the Soviet Union wasn't that long ago... They didn't kill them that time and it was more peaceful but they did replace them.

How would Wise transfers even work with the sanctions? Not to mention the lack of liquidity in the market for Rubles... Edit - really, I would like someone to explain exactly how Wise should accomplish RUB-USD/EUR transactions with th

Does no one remember DHH's first Rails keynote? https://images.app.goo.gl/JvyvwdnNi936uhvk8 He's always been like this, if anything has mellowed out. Dunno why people have a problem with it now. As for his politi

>I'd have also expected the russians the be doing way way worse, since the ukrainian army has still been pretty throughouly trained by western advisors in the past 7 years. And after the mess that was the 2008 georgian war, I though

Honestly, I haven't found many ingredients where you do it to the gram. A few like spices, salt or baking powder you just do it to taste or assume a tsp is enough, for that one item. A scale still beats measuring cups n things.

Indochina wasn't a democratic country. Being a vassal of a democracy with an appointed government != being a democracy.

What do you mean, guilty? Bugs are unintentional (I hope). People make mistakes, no one is perfect. If employers don't want bugs they need to hire enough people to be able to put all the processes in place to ensure 100% bug free so

Not including overseas colonies France 1939 was 40 million, Ukraine population 2021 (edit - and apparently 2022 as well) was 43.5 million. And IMO overseas colonies don't count as they weren't invaded and also weren't include

Pakistan is a US ally... How do you figure that's an invasion?

Fun fact, Ukraine is the largest democracy to ever be invaded by a foreign power. Just saying... Edit - no downvoters want to provide a counter-example? Of a country that was a democracy and had a larger population at the time of invasion
