Pointing to a generic article about the Donbas War does not answer the question. The completely unrelated pieces about Iraq and Poppy Bush, even less so. Strangely, the Reuters article you linked to was about the separatists getting arms fr

The relation between karma and upvotes seems to be both non-linear (not 1:1 as the other commenter says), and asynchronous (i.e. karma adjusts for upvotes, but not in real time).

An interesting idea - and I would agree that my initial gut-take was that it does seem to make the text easier to process (assuming it is simple enough to begin with). But what do you think of this (rather damning-sounding) retort? https:&

Given that Google Translate already exists, what is even the point of all of this? Because for the other 20 percent it's plainly -not- good enough. It can't even produce an acceptable business letter in a resource-rich target l

When you drive after using alcohol, you are drunk the entire trip. When you text and drive, you are distracted for five seconds. Apples and oranges. When you are drunk, you might be 20 percent or more impaired - continuously. Sufficient
