Norway isn't part of the EU but is part of the EEA. It is through that membership that it's bound by the same as other EU countries economic agreements that through simplification people tend to associate with the EU.

It's interesting to see modern-day “certified forgiveness coachers” transmit the millenia-old Christian teaching on sin, resentment and forgiveness.

HN is also probably not the place where calling a person a "Russian troll" constitutes a valid counter-argument.

The city was wiped off the surface of the earth during the World War II, it suffered much worse than Warsaw or Dresden. And you wouldn't expect the Soviets to rebuild it in anything other than social realism, so that's what Minsk

The mobile application from Yandex.Taxi is in my opinion the best taxi app in existence, much better than Uber. And it's not like the quality of the service can differ between apps all that much, the pool of taxi drivers is the same af

Yes, Euro is a disaster. It's a predominantly ideological project that economically is totally unsound. Okay, it was conceived as a way to boost the German economy (before Euro the German mark was just too strong so Germany couldn&#x27

A video encouraging people to participate in an illegal gathering could in some jurisdictions be considered a form of incitement.

There's room for building instruments like this at a state-sponsored level in, say, the EU. The EU has already been working on a special clearing house that would help European businesses circumvent the US-imposed sanctions. https:&#x

Well, seeing we already talk anecdotes… I was there myself this year in May on a week-long hike and a few days at the sea, and they're doing alright. The year of 2014 was quite rough (especially with the electricity shortages when Ukra

By that wording, who is a national of the Crimea region? Did they mean residents ?

Sure, and falsified all the votes? The Crimean parliament proclaimed sovereignty against their will and so was the Ukrainian navy chief forced to switch allegiance? When it comes to the reasons behind sanctions, there's no need to corr

After the Ukrainian air traffic control spent weeks bringing the same flight closer and closer to the war zone, even though a ban on air traffic over that territory should have been put there immediately. No one is questioning the Ukrainian

There's hardly any military work that would involve using code from GitHub in Crimea. All the R&D is done in mainland Russia. This targets common people who use GitHub for their pet projects or just regular work. In general, this t

Especially when they democratically voted in favour of being part of Russia. This is essentially a punishment for them for voting the way they did.

Please, let's look at the facts. Here we have a case where the population of the territory in question would in no way describe this state of affairs as an occupation . They did vote in favour of Crimea becoming part of Russia and t

Judging from the state of affairs in the two states in question – the Ukraine and Russia – I highly doubt Russia would be the first one to collapse.

Counter intelligence is FSB's pretty much the only job. If they do intelligence, it's in CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries such as Belarus or Kazakhstan. It's SVR and GRU that are Russia's intelligence

Such a combination is what Unbabel does in translation. ML-driven automated translation followed by crowd-sourced human review and corrections. It's a neat idea and could be the future of translation (as opposed to full automation).
