Can someone knowledgeable explain this part? "The guy whipped out a rudimentary financial model in a few hours. Turns out it’s not that important—it’s for illustrating your runway and spending plan, not to justify an imaginary revenue

I'm old enough to know, and no, it's not the same. Bush never claimed that Canada is a US state, never hinted at invading Greenland, never repeated Russian propaganda. We thought the Gulf War 2 was under false pretenses of "W

As long as the other sex also has the same opportunity to join a similar group, I agree. But when there is no proper alternative for a man or woman to join a similar club, it's more about the exclusion of people with the same interest

What have you done already? Have you joined the protests? Have you co-organized protests? Have you helped out the opposition? Go out there, connect to like minded people, see how you can help, get your hands dirty. A country doesn't be

It's probably obscure, but anyone from that time would find it plausible because we know both radio and computers used cassettes. So for me, this title was "Yeah, I get it how that would work". For fun I just asked my 16 year

As an experienced "software engineer" :D, I fully agree with you. Although I would phrase it differently. All patterns & practices come with their benefit and drawbacks. So all decisions are very much dependent on the circumst

It's clear that the real problem in Europe is access to risk capital. Startups are no problem, scale-ups are. Nobody was able to replicate Silicon Valley, not even within US. My opinion is that it's a chicken and egg problem, and

These tariffs are highly focussed on hurting red states. So in practice that means: - Alcohol: Are you really buying American Alcohol when you live in EU??? - Harley-Davidson: Do you plan to buy one the next few years? - Jeans: I'm sur

You claim Russia invaded because Ukraine said they were going to acquire nukes. I'm asking for a reference and a date when they said that. And obviously, it must be before the Russo-Ukrainian war: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Can you give me a reference in what year Ukraine said they were going to acquire nukes?

To be clear, Yanukovych was fairly elected in 2010 and there are no claims that this was somehow rigged or undemocratic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Ukrainian_presidential_el... ). The protests started when he sw

Euromaidan was a protests because Yanukovych didn't act on his promise to integrate Ukraine with the EU. Protesters were upset because that was not what he promised during his campaign. The storming of the capital in US was under false

When people state this obvious lie, I always ask: So which NATO member states voted for not expanding to the east? Same with the Ukraine "coup", I always ask: So which dictator did they install in 2014?

My theory is that Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason they invaded Chechnya. Can you provide an argument why Russia invaded Chechnya?

by koonsolo 2y ago
The Russian propaganda part is that you act as if Russia is defending, while actually they are invading. Do the neighbors of France need an alliance against a French invasion? Do the neighbors of Germany need an alliance against a German in

So Russia invaded Chechnya and is now using Chechens to invade Ukraine. You suggest that Russia takes Ukraine, then uses Ukrainians to invade Moldova? That is what you are suggesting, right? Also, my programmers keyboard gives me a very nic

Is that fear irrational? Let me state some facts: 1. Elon Musk is in full control of Starlink 2. Elon is politically aligned with Trump 3. Trump is pressuring Ukraine by taking away any US support. He paused military equipment delivery that

Just to illustrate how expensive: UK spends 2.3% of their GDP on their military. 1% is allocated to maintaining those nukes!

Belgium is the same, and I don't know about you, but F16's and F35's are the only ones that can carry those bombs. That's why Belgium ordered a bunch of them and not some European planes. It's too late to cancel now

Slovaks also elected Fico, but they are also protesting like hell. A democratic leader is a leader to all, not only to his voter base. Where are your protests?

Here's the problem with good management: you will not notice it, you only notice bad management. A good manager is at the service of their team. That means they will do anything to keep the team productive. In most cases this means shi
