If it is 20% backed, haven't they pocketed the other 80bill already anyway? Therefore the 20B left is just a lottery ticket you might as well pay to have a chance to klept some more hundreds of bills? What am I missing here? That the 8

I lived in a Georgian (so built somewhere in 19th century) flat in London with Nest, gas boiler and thermostats on radiators. My experience was similar. In a while I realized that to make the experience smart would not be to add a different

I've seen a claim that Switchblade 300 costs less than USD 7k. No idea how accurate this is tho.

I guess this is the classic attention economy dark pattern: we know that you already know about this title you are looking for, therefore we want you to take a look at these other things first, just to make you stick to the platform for one

I guess this book is a good start [0]. I read it, I wanted to believe it but I will not endorse what’s in there (mostly because I am now much more cautious about cherry picked slick slightly against the establishment stories). While here I

More like totalitarianism, that all well known communist systems have also been more or less totalitarian is something to think about tho.

NATO expansion is an argument, not a reason. But even as an argument it conveniently denies self-determination, agency, hopes and dreams to the countries, nations and people who don't want to be ruled by post-soviet mafia.

Transformers only work with AC. Isolated DC-DC has also transformers where there is really high frequency AC. DC->AC||AC->DC. It's all hidden and due to high frequency quite small. But still AC. Re cabling: currently we have 230V

The author gets a few things wrong or mixed up (mostly covered in other comments). None of the other comments also talk about galvanic isolation, you need transformers (therefore AC) for that. But the article is trying to sell you on DC, li

I however want to acknowledge that there are some brave people in russia who stand up and protest and risk their lives. It may seem futile but I still respect them. There is a great book [0] by Masha Gessen called The future is history that

Bullshit. The country is not 140M slaves without any agency. The system is effective, but people are complicit. Why they still are, I don't know. I grew up on soviet union and we escaped the first chance we got. But them behind the bor

That's an interesting whataboutist take. I would mostly agree, but: - fleeing your home country because its inhabitants (including yourself) have let it go to shits and you have a choice between keeping on tolerating what has been alwa

One can dream but I highly doubt, Russian history is littered with autocrats and tyrants. Brief periods of even nominal democracy have also been highly unstable. The deep rooted ‘russian greatness’ is a very fertile ground for populists.

I read your comment as sarcastic and in this sense you don't warrant the downvotes. But I don't disagree that politicians are quite weak in taking these bold steps.

I kind of agree with you on "garbage in - garbage out" .. majority eats up garbage and therefore approve putin. Decision to eat garbage still lays with them. On the other hand, I have a limited amount of empathy and at the moment

I get where you are coming from, but falsifying election results and population polling are a bit different. putin himself is polling very frequently to get feedback (or validation) and until a few weeks ago there were even somewhat credibl

Anything coming from Kremlin is just noise, distraction and lies. Why bother listening when sooner or later all promises, agreements, treaties are just ignored and shat upon. Case in point, there was a humanitarian corridor and ceasefire ag

In soviet times (and possibly any other tyrant dictator era) the dictator was told what he wanted to hear or be (literally or figuratively) dead. So perfectly valid assumption is that command chain inflated the capabilities and morale of th
