Europe was divided, we know that. My people fought both against USSR and together with it against Germans. History and its significance can't be explained in single historical essay, and it certainly should not be misused to advance on

I'm talking about threatening nukes for helping the victim to defend. Denying existence of nation and its state. Russian TV debates with Solovyov. Religious leaders sanctioning military aggression. None of that is civilized, but howeve

USSR lost many people not only because of the German invasion, but also because they had a terrible leader who co-started WW II and misjudged Hitler. And Europe and America made sure USSR won that war.

You misunderstood. I meant the dangerous poisonous nature of the scorpion, not that I hate the insect; I am fascinated by scorpions, but I don't bring them home. I can rephrase - when Russian state official is at your doorstep, and mak

Those people who think the things Russians do in Ukraine are good for them.

It can be, if done nonviolently, like financial and propagandist support of existing movements. Did American helpers shoot people like Russians do?

I agree the believability is much better with paper trail. Paper creates hard-to-forge records that can be checked later, electronic communication is too complicated and hard to audit, especially origins of electronic records.

It is unlikely that all people will die in the nuclear war. Anyway, it makes no sense to put down a discussion on privacy or other human disagreements as trivial just because there is a big bomb that can wipe us out. This risk is present fo

Those are incomparable. One is a political influence via civilized methods, money and propaganda. The other is a brutal military aggression. The proper acceptable course of action for Putin & Co. was to compete economically and propagan

And why was Hitler's Germany able to conquer several countries and kill millions? Because big powers felt "we're afraid of repetition of the 1st war" and "peace in our time" and "let's make deal with

I didn't downvote. There are alternative approaches. For example, U.S. can cease support as loss of Ukraine is not really a big problem for them, as long as Russia stays in non-NATO countries; Europe+UK can then say we won't be ab

Most people do not want war, but we have the war regardless, it has been imposed on us. In such situation, people want to keep the war as far away as possible. Hence support of Ukraine.

This seems very naive. 1) even if so, can I check my vote recorded at the district vote collection center is the same as the vote I meant to send? More importantly, can I check the resulting numbers announced on TV/radio/online ar

Solving the political issue is a different matter and very ambitious. Meanwhile, tech mitigation would be nice.

In Poland, women are probably more often the victim than men, but in U.S., reported statistics are very surprising. > men and women were equally likely to experience nonconsensual sex, and most male victims reported female perpetrators.

Neutralizing encryption is real; it is not about forbidding websites and clients using TLS, it's about getting in the middle.

Reading first two words isn't sufficient work to arrive at such conclusion. Thus you seem to have jumped to conclusion based on just two words, or more likely, you are showing off/asking for interaction with a seemingly cleverly c

You're criticizing a mode of behaviour (not reading the thing and commenting on it anyway) as stupid. Which I agree with. Then you say the problem is they informed us about that stupid behaviour of theirs. I'm not so sure that is

Granted, but to be fair, I feel like the whole piece is "I feel like spending inordinate amount of time to describe Mr. Gibson and his software in bad light", without an attempt at an equitable evaluation of the product itself.
