1. The situation being bad for Russia does not imply it is good for Ukraine. This late in the match, they're both pretty beat up. 2. Most of the ceasefire talk is posturing to convince Trump that it's the other side stalling progr

This is correct. Turning a catastrophic loss into something that maybe kinda looks like a victory has been a propaganda coup for Russia. That's done in this case by inflicting disproportional pain on Ukraine. But remember, most often i

Things like this just indicate the sanctions can be leaky, but not that they are not working at all. The best indication that sanctions are working is how badly Russia wants them removed, and they clearly do want them removed. Concluding th

Yes. I really good scientific explanation of this that confirms the anecdotal findings is discussed here [1]( https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/X5RyaEDHNq5qutSHK/anti-socia... ) The TLDR is that ex-soviet countries ex

This has much more to do with Russia than the UK. Not mentioned in the article is that the IMF revised it's 2023 predictions from -2.3% to 0.3%, citing strong government spending on the war. In other words, this is where GDP figures ar

You can use the efficient market hypothesis to talk yourself out of pretty much any good idea.

Title could also read, "No conclusive evidence Western powers behind Nord Stream attacks". There is no good evidence either way. Jumping to the opposite conclusion isn't any better.

If he were tried in the USA, the trail wouldn't need to be unfair to convict. What he did was clearly illegal. If it should be illegal is the debate.

Makes a blanket claim speaking for all 7 billion people not in NATO, and supports the evidence with a meme. What makes claims like these so powerful is that those 7 billion people aren't really here to speak for themselves, so pundits

HN is a news aggregation site, which means what people find interesting gets posted, not every fact. An escalation of the war is a whole lot more interesting than the discovery that this is a non-event. Western media has correctly and widel

This is a converter from Ukraine's cyrillic alphabet to a latinized spellings. It would only really be useful for translating proper names I think.

We're paused right now since we're prepping for a funding round. However, have you checked out the Clojurians slack? They have a #jobs channel which is pretty good.

I learned by reading through a book, then working through problems on https://4clojure.oxal.org/ . If you've got JS experience it won't take too much effort to pick up. Don't get too carried away with forming

2 years ago I was hired into a Clojure based start-up with no experience in Clojure. It is easy to learn, and I love it now. One of my duties is hiring, and we don't look for developers with Clojure experience. Instead we look for deve

This was a surface vessel discovered off of the coast of Crimea. This attack would be more likely done by a submersible, and is in the Baltic Sea. Unlikely to be related.

Why do people keep throwing out John Meersheimer like we've never heard of him before. We're 6 months into this thing and we've read him by now. We just think he's wrong. Is he still asking for a return to the Minsk acco

All the OSI I'm looking at indicates fairly even loss rates and the lack of any meaningful progress by the Russians in the last 2 months belies your claims. Let's see a source.

While total economic isolation would be nice, that's never been the target. Energy exports have been allowed throughout, with Europe trying to figure out how to reduce dependency. Most of the sanctions has focused on import isolation,

Yes, exactly. Also, this is comparing oil/gas revenue to war expenditure . While Russia is certainly making a huge profit on oil and gas, it is not all profit. Equally, there are many unrealized costs of their war, many of which can
