Caveat for team and organizations: often leadership announces grand initiatives with great fanfare and the lack of follow-up, perceived or real makes people cynical. Unfortunately, you cannot avoid announcing your plans if you expect others

Given that Windows is a considered a "service" it makes sense unless there is something to hide (some odious telemetrics, perhaps). No one is going to replace Microsoft in selling Support and Updates, unless it isn't some nic

Some consumption is good, i.e. replacing and old appliance or a car with a more efficient one, or you can buy a video game on Steam rather than driving to a picnic. It is not always apparent what behaviour is the most energy-wasteful. For e

In many countries in Eastern Europe the soil is poor in iodine, which historically meant a lot of thyroid problems. Good news is that governments mostly solved the issue by requiring table salt to contain iodine. In some countries you can s

I don't see how faster ballistic missiles change the game. In the past you still could do surprise attacks and example eliminate the chain of command, or the lines of communication. While there are reports that suitcase nuclear devices

Zhukov is actually very controversial nowadays. A lot of the early historians accepted his autobiography as a the main source pretty uncritically. There is another historical view of Zhukov: - He wasn't the military genius he portrayed

The general steps are in the article, which seem like little work but this is a community effort, so it takes a while. Basically its rebranding, setting up build systems and doing QA on the changes.

I don't understand, part of this greening is through more agriculture, which probably means more energy use to till, irrigate and fertilize these fields. Is this on net more or less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

What I did with my first clojure web app is simply leave (main) at the end of the file. This would cause an error telling me that a port is unavailable. But still Clojure is a lot of fun and that's something you want to look for in a l

A carbon tax will definitely mean less driving, flying, AC and meat. And this tax can make it possible to give out vouchers so vulnerable people who cannot afford AC will not die in heat waves. So public policy can both incentivise everyone

I love how the word "corruption" doesn't appear once in the text. If this was an article about Eastern Europe for example it would be in every paragraph. So, I'm wondering if corruption overemphasized in my region and Pr

You use it to communicate with potential clients? I would offer an alternative to them and I think most of them will follow, but it is more of an annoyance than a serious issue to lose business over. On a separate note 10 years ago there w

Exactly, apparently the average amount fines is fairly low. The maximum fine is 4% of revenue or 20 million euros (whichever is bigger). 4% of Google's 2018 revenue would be almost 5 billion euros (with a B). Google could have had it m

He was most likely a GRU (Soviet military intelligence), not a KGB agent. Still in that era the existence of GRU was not well known. His officer likely wouldn't share too many details.
