You don't need to be a moral actor to enforce a law. Even a murderer can, and should, stop another murderer from killing people.

I don't think Google understands hardware given its lack of success in it.

You didn't understand my comment. My point is that the calculus for Russia isn't "is there a precedent for breaking this type of international law?", it's rather "can we get away with it?". NS2 didn't

No, I don't think so. Or rather, what kind of response? Invoking Article 5 and then what? It seems like just another chapter in the hybrid warfare. NATO countries can respond in other ways, more sanctions, more military support for Ukr

Intimidation has been their modus operandi for a while. Assassinations which they only half-heartedly deny is another example of that. But it feels like this has become the new normal and isn't particularly effective anymore.

You don't need to be a just actor to enforce international law if you're strong enough to pull it off and it aligns with your interests.

Wars don't have to be declared to be wars. Most wars have historically not been declared.

And all land is free-to-take since Feb 24th, 2022. Ultimately, international law has to be enforced by someone. Russia broke it many times before NS2 blew up, it's not like they were holding up before.

I'm as pro-Ukraine as it gets, but it doesn't make any sense for Russia to blow it up. The biggest incentive is Ukraine by far, then some western intelligence agencies / covert groups in some distance. Gas has been always par

That was his observation, i.e. his opinion and not the official policy, 70 years ago. I imagine it might have been part of the strategic thinking at that time, but that has apparently changed quite quickly. By the 1970s, Bundeswehr was the

StackOverflow isn't representative. It was always skewed towards .NET world (and thus VS). I assume this is the case because the founders were prominent .NET personalities.

It's more of an advertisement rather an opinion. They have a specific definition of "E2E" (apparently UI is not considered to be in it) and it works on docker platform only (so not for e.g. windows binaries). It can be good,

You remember when you fell asleep? I don't. Watch tracks how often you wake up, how long you spend in the deep sleep, etc. A lot of value is in the long term trends. One bad night doesn't mean much but if our sleep quality is tren

Also, the flashlight and silent alarm are superb features. I use the clock too if I wake up.

Fair enough, I've visited 10 years ago and it was mostly old Mercedes cars. (I was mostly in the countryside) Albania has an (upper) middle class as well, so surely there are some new ones as well.

I've visited Albania and their placement seemed quite random to me. Possibly there was some system in place which I didn't notice (I didn't go to study them specifically). They made up their deficiencies in numbers, but it&#x

by The_Colonel 2y ago
To avoid confusion, the Mercedes cars are from 80s or 90s. Not new ones, which are completely unaffordable by most locals.

Kinda depends on what you mean exactly. For example, open source world will likely not be affected aside from a few cases like the Russian Linux developers. Neither China nor Russia are likely to completely block access to internet and deve

I wouldn't hire based on grades. I think what the junior did is a reason to fire them (then you can try again with better selection practices). Not because they use code from LLMs, but that they don't even try to understand what i

A cynical take would be that the current market conditions allow you to filter out such college graduates and only take the better ones.

Facebook groups is also a decent way to build communities. Honestly, Facebook without the push for reels / videos isn't that bad. (now you can crucify me)
