I tell you more: language is an instrument of telling lies. Truth doesn't need to and actually cannot be spoken, it manifests itself as is. Lao Tzu: "He who knows, does not speak, and he who speaks does not know". Meaning: an

Can you remind me when was the last time US waged a conquest war under the pretext that neighbor state has no sovereignty right because people there are not a real nation? And to strengthen that point killed tens of thousands of civilians?

It will not replace, but it may enhance and it also may save time clicking on links, just giving a direct answer. It also may produce bullshit. But it is worth exploring.

Buying property in Russia right now is insanely bad investment. Quality of life includes access to customer goods (which are mostly imported, thus largely sanctioned) and medical care (which is heavily import-dependent too, and also prone t

I do understand that not a lot of people here really understand the sheer direness of his situation. He stuck in Russia because of unsettled problems regarding his conviction. He almost certainly cannot immigrate into most of the countries

TOR version of Z-Library was up and running all that time, including auth. So what we should evaluate is easir-to-access takedown evasion strategies.

What makes me really mad about current Putin's war, is that Ukraine will have to deal with the consequences like this for the next 80 years.

RPi is too expensive to be an end-point IoT device too. But it is perfect to serve as a hub/base station. And this is where BT could be actually of use, for communication with cheaper end-point devices, for example.

Measuring boats in feet is a tradition. Also, these numbers are bigger. 50 feet is a big boat. Compare with mere 15 meters. BTW, docking price lists are still in meters.

I am a manager indeed. I more or less familiar with whereabouts of my reports, I know a lot about their performance and performance of their teams (some of them are team leads). I also know who is looking at the market for opportunities, wh

Manager should deliver on time and budget in order to keep their job. It is easier to do having performing team. Performing team consists of performing ICs. Easy as that.

We already have too few managers, let alone good ones.

Knowing performance of their team members is a manager's primary responsibility. Without it manager cannot plan anything and execute anything on time.

Like in case of aliens in Hangar 18? Don't be ridiculous. Any US news outlet will give arm and leg to break the story like this. Self-publishing on mail list platform means there are so little evidence here, that not a single tabloid w

One cannot ignore penalties if one is on the supply side. Gazprom pumps the gas, Germany says "thank you, we will not pay for it because you owe us penalties". All they can do is stop pumping. And Russia immediately laid the blame

This smells strange. A Pulitzer winner, 60+ years in journalism, starts Substack just to post this one investigation. He has about one million chances to have at least Twitter, not mentioning a website, but no. BTW, I checked the text with
