It sounds a bit like the family might have been ostracized from their church, friends, and extended family after leaving their faith. Those relationships may have been critical to the child's wellbeing, covering up poor parent/sib

Sure, but there plenty of more likely scenarios that require no malice or conspiracy.

It also takes time to interpret how the sanctions affect an industry and what actions need to be taken, and those interpretations are going to be pretty correlated.

One of the gate agents told me I must share a name with someone on a terrorist watch list early on. I have a common name as well so I figured that was it. Most gate agents thought nothing of it but being unable to get a seat assignment unti

An aggressive Russian vassal state would create an existential threat to China where none exists now, and disrupt China’s economic and soft power goals while driving greater Western military growth and solidarity. Seems better to drain the

Democracy is ideal, but I’d rather see Russia utterly dependent on China than autocratic and warmongering. Russia is just 1.7% of global GDP, China already 14%. Russia is driving the rest of Eastern Europe into NATO and towards Western infl

China is concerned only with itself, they obviously don’t care about Ukraine but are eager to loot the sanctioned economy of Russia. The coalescing of Western interests and reinvigorated NATO are not in their favor of course, but are no exi

As written it seems to me the intent of the article is to publicly shame the open source devs who contribute their time and effort into doing more work for free. It's typical open source toxicity.

There are so many ways to title the article and approach this topic, yet the author still chose a petulant and insulting one to vie for attention.

How willing would Russia be to admit they deserted instead of surrendering or capture? Each family you punish is like telling their every colleague, relative, neighbor, and friend your army is faltering.

I’d also guess a lot of regulation, policy, insurance, and perhaps law is specific to SWIFT such that you can’t just swap over to another system or simply telephone the transactions.

Germany has traded energy dependence on Russia for pharmaceutical, machinery, and car exports that Russia can get elsewhere. Interdependence works well but this appears quite one sided. In explains their inaction in part, though 40% of Germ

I could see that, our users loved Confluence because it was such an improvement over Gdocs or a shared network drive. Once the wysiwig editor came out our departments organically began to use it for everything. That was years ago though, us

While it’s definitely an incremental step forward, it doesn’t seem drastically better than the Confluence wiki I’ve used in prior companies. Are there killer features I’m missing beyond database row views? Also, is Kopa.co an active company

Yeah, they really buried the admission of fraud pretty deep in the article. They forged invoices and spent 342m on unauthorized riskier projects. Sounds like the sentence may be excessive, but not the conviction.

I don't see the same thing as you. Everyone knows that NATO will deny Ukraine's application if they make one because it requires all 30 countries to accept it. Biden has slow rolled the process, publicly supporting their potential

I’m not certain, but I believe Etsy was never actually a public benefit corp but instead a B Corp, which they dropped because they’d have to convert to a PBC to maintain it. Whereas it sounds like this project will start as a PBC. If that’s
