Nemtzov said in 2014, literally, "Putin is deranged and you should know that". This is why he was killed in 2015, mostly. Because even then that was the truth. All those discussions about morals, mistakes and the descent of sanity

SWIFT doesn't matter that much; the other financial stuff either. The big deal is the loss of high or medium tech supplies for the foreseable future. You might not realise how the whole of Russia runs entirely on import of those. China

You're overthinking this. It's irrational. As simple as that - just irrational.

Putin is crazy. This was established as early as 1999, multiple public declarations in 2014.

I host at Hetzner for what, ten or so years. Never had a problem apart from some US idiots blocking access to their sites from EU because GDPR. (I run my personal VPN through it too). The amount of spam coming in (exim4+dovecot, no filters)

The problem of having trillionaries in our spellchecker dictionaries? Seriously? I think we have quite more pressing problems than that right now.

I'm not in a charitable mood when the actual outcome is in fact pure and simple oppression. Whoever does that can shove their genuine desires wherever. They should have thought the whole thing out before acting.

We shouldn't push "a mindset" on anybody. The thought of someone feeling entitled enough to "push a mindset" is disgusting.

Meaningless question. Am I rich because I'm depressed or am I depressed because I'm rich? That's two independent variables.

Everything living kills everything in sight for resources. From viruses to civilizations. To some extent this can be moderated, or for a time some optimizations might result in even less destruction, but this is the way this world is. Killi

Eh, this. It all depends on if 'robots', however one defines them are 'conscious', however one defines that. But until that gets settled, it's always a human pulling the trigger. No difference from when someone&#x27

> I wonder how long such a home would last 3-5 years at most I think. I've seen futile attempts to sell such experiments. After that time it's just easier to bulldoze or burn it, and then build something more sensible.

Top-to-bottom windows all over and narrow spaces .. it's actually amazing they fit it in 100KVA. This thing in winter would need about twice that just to not freeze. Hence the propane, and forget the tub and the pool.

You say it yourself --- "but, we've got to fight to ..." basically not fight. No, we don't, it's that simple. EDIT: If you have to fight in order to not fight, you have already lost the fight to not fight. Cute, a

In Vietnam the problem was the 15ish year long civil war predating all the things. In Afganistan, the same thing, only longer. This stuff can't be fixed by landing some marines, it only turns it into a shit-throwing match about who has

Haha no. It's a quick and easy way to separate companies who know what they're doing from those that don't.

Even contemporary linen clothes last way longer than a random pair of jeans. It's not that onesided, good linen trousers are usually somewhat more free-fitting, and usually don't chafe as much as typical jeans models. But still. A

Absolutely not. Search more, you will find 10-50 people companies paying way above the usual faang-style sweatshops. Last couple of years crypto-hft was the place to be, but that's changing. Anyway, they are there. Do not conform or yo

What Venus needs is not another lander, but an aerostat with syntethic aperture radar. All of this can be done in plain silicon, no one's forcing anyone to descend into the hell. EDIT: or maybe forget the aerostat thing and just put a

Molds aren't cheap, but as someone who've been around while F0 was created it's not that imo. It's setting up the pipeline, shitty PCBs in batches of hundreds, fuckups with parts, etc. If you do a couple of prototypes it
