Can someone explain the relevance of this?

That is legally not true.

I think Crimean Tatars might disagree.

Wait wait wait, I grew up in the Baltics as a Russian speaker. What you go through as such there (especially in Latvia and Estonia) is actual discrimination. As in: some people started to change their names to hide their Russian origins. Wh

Of course! But if you look at the map of Russia it's mostly only English and Russian.

That's not the argument tho, is it? I think Russian speakers in Ukraine were pretty comfortable themselves.

By that logic, all areas of Russia where the non-Russian ethnicity is dominant (of which there are a lot) should all be written out in their respective languages. Also, the argument "well it was like that since <some time t>&quot

The only front of the geopolitical soup wars I'm dying on, is the borscht front. :D

Borscht classified as a Ukrainian dish. Good. As it should be.

Although central planning is a formidable problem, a WAY more formidable one is the incentives of the central planners.

There’s the same distinction in Russian: friendly spies are called “razvedchiki” (reconnaissance agents) whereas adversaries are called “shpiony” (spies).

Interesting article. Title needs changing, but flagging seems unnecessary.

Obviously all of this is kind of wrong. Short-term prices aren't driven by fundamentals, but by rumors/sentiment/herding. So thinking that a bunch of short sellers might orchestrate a rumor campaign against a volatile stock i

Awesome point!

By that logic, for example, math and some quantum physics are not science. This distinction is useless.

My bet is that men tend not to have emotional support or positive attention in their lives, unless it's from a mate, hence they value it more.

It's social psychology and not biology.

Protectionism in economic sense are measures that inhibit international trade. Tariffs, selective subsidies and too restrictive immigration policies are good examples. Maybe in Australia they use the word differently, but in Europe this is

by jevgeni 7y ago
Wait, but unions are not necessarily protectionist. Also the protectionist government you are referring to was active until 1903, yet the productivity growth in the 1990s was followed by Labour winning majority in the parliament. What am I

Very well put! Thank you! I agree.

How am I missing that? Does that information somehow magically make it not a legal matter? If there are procedural violations it does not have any bearing on whether TPB broke the law or not. It only means that TPB owners can revert that pa

That offshoring will lower wages is a pretty obvious thing. But that's not what I've asked. Where is it evident that protectionism would sustainably help and not reduce aggregate demand or in fact not lower employment? And how wou

I’m SUPER interested how protectionist capitalism has helped the working class. Could you elaborate?

Justice is a legal concept and by that measure both Assange and Pirate Bay had to be prosecuted. Or am I misunderstanding something?
537.
by jevgeni 7y ago
Could you please elaborate, because I’m sure am not alone in my complete failure to understand what you mean.

I like how this is going towards “Swedish Central Bank is a for-profit organisation”

@airstrike is pretty on point, but here's some more. A private business is always shareholder centric. Anything else would be schizophrenic. Non-profits and government organisations are different, but thinking that people start a bus

To me personally, Microsoft Surface Book is a very valid alternative.
