"We" (whoever that is) did not "sponsor a coup". Stop spreading misinformation. What happened was that the Ukrainian people were sick of Russian puppet and kicked him out - at great cost, he murdered a lot of them.

On of the major differences between Oracle and Postgres was this - Postgres kept old versions of rows around to be vacuumed, while Oracle moves them to "undo segment". So they are copying the Oracle design. That has its own set of

I agree, drowning out normal voices in fake news and bots is as much censorship as banning them outright - it is just a form of censorship that (some) free speech advocates are complicit with. But the biggest issue in my mind is that fake n

I'm guessing you're getting downvoted for aggresive tone. But you are right that social media networks are strong enablers of evil and helpers to enemies of freedom and democracy. Facebook and Twitter could easily stop (almost) al

He does not. Everyone saying "but we should let Putin do whatever he wants with lives of innocents because otherwise nuclear war" is Putin supporter, whether they know it or not.

The context for Ukraine wanting to be in NATO is that everyone in the region has been under constant thread by hostile nation looking to rebuild its empire. If US attacked and annexed several Central American nations over last two decades,

The downvotes are because your opinions are despicable, not because it isn't literally true that Ukraine stance changed in the last decades.

"Putin is only doing this because of NATO missiles" is a Russian propaganda line. It is disheartening to hear it repeated on HN.

Realistically, the Western Powers not giving shit and not doing anything effective about both all the previous Russian invasions and this one gives Russia the right. And make no mistake, the West is quite fine with sacrificing us (everythin

I'm not saying you are. I'm saying that if someone says X and there's groups saying X than expecting that person to be part of that group is kinda normal and not some kind of character assassination. Speaking of ineffectual a

You might not be formally member of such groups, but if you are spreading their values and repeating their propaganda, you're working for them. That would make you de facto member even if you're not de iure member. e: and base

One of them being in China and the other being in UK would probably explain the costs by itself.

One of them is a potential, the other is a certainty. By comparing just the effect and not the likelihood, you are getting biased results.

So? If you ask 100 people, 99 will tell you they would rather buy new electronics every year and throw away the old, and they would rider drive a huge SUV than walk or bike. That doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Is stealing from someone like Walmart, who post record profits every year, pay employees so little they are on food stamps, engage in union busting etc etc really immoral?
