And also it helps your government to transact with Iran, India, and China in convenient currencies, bypassing US-imposed sanctions and prolonging current war and planning for the future ones.

The strategy is not even a secret. Russia sees itself as a major influence of the Europe. You cannot control stable governments, so you destabilise them with various tools for prolonged periods of time and then you end up with a country whi

Have you personally tried to keep a teen away from a screen? If you did with a success, I would really like to hear your story and what has worked for you. Looking at my kids friends / classmates, almost all of the parents just gave up

I am from Ukraine, and we have KGB archives opened for a while now. It is a massive amount of information and it is studied rigorously by a lot of researchers. Unfortunately, most of the information I consumed are in Ukrainian. For example

It is absolutely the same playbook in Europe, with an increased complexity that you cannot target Europe as a whole, since every country has its own issues (and politics, and culture, language, etc.). For example I see on the Irish social m

I see this tactic exploited to the maximum by foreign state propaganda machines. In my country which was targeted to the max by Russian propaganda, they are using the same playbook as in the US right now. 1. take any real complicated issue

The problem is not political bias, but disinformation. Clumping everyone in one group is actually one of the goals of this: to get people tired of trying to figure out reality and to give up. As obvious as it is - when you think everyone li

I feel that I am usually very good in systems thinking, but it looks like what this administration is doing is much more close to vibe governing. When I hear about reasons for any decision, the second or third order effects are never mentio

It is an ad for the book. Like with everything in the US, the goal with this is to make money. On the surface level - it is extremely dumb to attribute trust in the institutions to groupthink. Alternative is what we have now - vibe trusting

You can only estimate job you’ve done before. Everything else is just guessing. Software engineering is not uniform: agencies working on similar projects may have good estimates. R&D and novel approaches - usually takes whatever time i

If your signature is compromised and you start signing malware then yes. That's the whole purpose of it. Do you have any evidence that it happened in any different circumstances at least once?

It is permission to _distribute to others_, you can build and run on your own computer without a problem. Once signed, binary will work forever, you only need active subscription when you need to re-sign / re-notarise.

The commenter I replied to employed by a business, develops software and distributes it within a team of engineers with Macs. For your personal needs, you do not need to pay anything for building and using apps locally.

But it doesn't in practice. I develop and distribute few free apps for macOS, and building / notarising is never a problem.

I understand that you're doing it on principle, but for a software development team, 99$/year is a really minuscule price to pay to be able to build / notarise / distribute software. Developers pay exorbitant amount of m
