I don’t think it’s correct to call them “confirmed”.

I think it varies case by case. Sorry, I don’t believe in a equal and just relationship between the biggest economy in the world and economies that are few order of magnitude smaller. As well as I don’t believe in a relationship between 40

I didn’t say that Russia has any just reasons to break any international agreements, because it doesn’t. However, we’re talking about Minsk II, that looked to me like a good deal for all parties involved, and I think it had the potential to

To become richer (better maybe not the right word to apply to USA, there are many places that are much better) than USA, you have to have the same military might and ability to influence the whole world. This kind of might is directly conne

First Minsk agreements were broken, then there was Minsk II that required Ukraine to do specific changes, like federalisation, to which Ukraine leaders agreed, but never proceeded with. Budapest Memorandum was broken in 2022, Minsk II was i

USA operates differently, securing profits and influence via different means.

I don’t think “independent states” applies here, especially right after USSR dissolution. There was a lot of corruption, a lot of capital “redistribution” and outside meddling. They got some feeling of security, but also became a tool of US

It’s not a just war, it’s a Russian imperialistic aggression, but let’s not pretend that there weren’t so many enablers and provocateurs on the NATO/US side. Minsk agreements were basically abandoned from the start and no one enforced

I think we should be critical of any information that is coming from states engaged in the war and their supporters. I imagine Ukraine is generating as much false information as Russia, prime example is information about losses in personnel

I live in EU and I use LinkedIn to look for work. I found all my previous jobs via LinkedIn.

I think you’re making a huge assumption and a mistake when you say “reasoning” in context of gpt. It does not reason, nor think.

Because a lot of legacy stuff is written in Matlab. And Octave is not so much slower than Matlab. matlab’s killing features are all those libraries for everything. And I for example don’t like using matlab - it’s not free (as in freedom), i

I wouldn’t be so sure about unregulated market “solving” anything, but I definitely agree that current zoning allowing eg only for single-family houses is absolutely unsustainable. It’s impossible for everyone or even majority to live in a

Of course, people don’t date that much not only because of some of their traits. Right now it’s a symptom of a much larger social-economic situation, with growing social isolation and poverty

Because another person is not an object, a service or an opportunity, for someone to be able to limit certain group’s access to it. What about “human right” to have friends?

I think that kind of understanding of “sex is a human right” is one step away from “woman is an object/a service”. And also this “human right” is usually applied to men, but not women. What about woman’s right to have a very attractive

While you’re right, and the guy is an incel, I want to mention that for longer periods of time women were forced into living with men just because it usually was the only way of survival. After emancipation, many men basically lost the sing

Probably because of the economy that isolates people and prevents them from actively engaging with each other. Especially if we’re talking USA where quite a big population is stuck in houses/condos separated from everywhere by a car ri

No reason to turn everything into market, and use blockchain for voting automation or partial governance, especially seeing what clownshow DAOs have been.

I don’t have much experience with CL, but I was always a bit put off by a mixture of different paradigms it has, ie it’s not being a pure or kinda pure functional language.

I’m gonna be doing whatever I’m gonna be doing. Job market changes all the time, and people adapt. I feel pretty secured (at least for some time) for my field, which is a lot of R&N in wireless networks/radio and embedded systems.

I think that “AI” (there is not even a drop of an actual AI in the current technology) is overhyped and barely can handle any of jobs people wanted it to do. It’s maybe good for sketching, be that code, text or images, but not for final pro

You’re still citing “opinions”, not facts, and more so, unpersonalised ones. “Concerns have been raised”, “People say”, etc.

Your links contain no proof of BDS being anti-semitic, just some officials of the US and Germany saying that it’s antisemitic. I can’t say much about Germany, but I feel pretty confident not using USA government as a source of unbiased Isra

Putin doesn’t exist on his own and doesn’t act on his own. He has support from FSB, from capital, from right people there and there, he has influence. He can be removed and influenced by many many people. But you’re right with your assessm
