Not at all, Armenians were also an integral part of the Ottoman society and that’s how you still have plenty of Armenian cultural heritage dating back to Ottoman times in modern Turkey. You must be referring to the events around WW1 that le

Soon all the prices will be listed in both of the currencies and they will be kept as that for another six months after the adoption. The country already experienced quite a bit of inflation last years, regardless of not being in the euro.

It’s also more of a generation thing though. The older people are nostalgic about the past and their youth and for a country that experienced 2 decades of very low birth rates that’s the 70s and 80s and those years are under the communist r

IMHO Countries with established culture of fair communal living will do good, So probably nordic Europeans have the highest chance. Countries with selfish populations who base their lives around economic activity will be obliterated as thei

An employee on salary is different from a consultant on hourly rate. Essentially, the employee is an ally whom all the intellectual output is retained and will be paid in full regardless of their performance. By all accounts Parekh did not

It's not just the value of the USD but its usage in trade and as a reserve currency in central banks is going down. Europeans are fantasizing about Euro taking over the reserve currency status but it doesn't appear to be happening

Europe is far from coherent, even if it is the most coherent that ever has been. Meanwhile, support rate for EU and Eurozone is highest ever among EU member states and Europe as a whole. If anything, people are annoyed that EU struggles to

You may be right, the reason I assumed that the controller that controls the detonation itself was contained in the exclusion zone since earlier safety mechanisms were mechanical. So if they modernized the safety mechanism maybe they didn’t

I think there must be a plan after the USSR collapse. Somehow they did not let rough agents obtaining the warheads but there were enough rumors, literature and media around it to prompt a consideration IMHO.

Right, nice savings and opportunities for fossil energy industry. Good job. So what is the plan for handling the US nuclear warhead stockpile as the empire crumbles? I'm worried about billionaires with nukes. Maybe not the person direc

This appears to be sales and marketing layoffs. If AI is worth its salt, theoretically the sales and marketing people should be able to prompt they way into grabbing Microsoft's market.

I always assumed that pro-fascism folks don't trust him as he's not really in this for the right reasons. He must be the ultimate poser, "useful for now" in these circles.

True. The prince needs to match that to sell. In Europe if you are going to buy a Tesla better have a really good price to compensate for this.

The same news from 5 days ago(117 comments): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44374761 I wouldn't romanticize it that much. Tesla used to be: Unmatched software(+), unmatched electronics(+), Save the planet(+), gre

Is there a cost for it though? They don't carry cargo when someone chooses not to buy carry-on baggage right and they don't charge people per kg anyway. It's not even like one of those tricks for upselling as for most people

It's even worse: Awful lot of people die for the careers of politicians and it's not limited to Israel. If someone needs political tension for weathering a scandal or economic turmoil, it can be created artificially by killing cer

I was wondering if anyone hasn't started such a SaaS yet. Can have an effect of unauthentic MAGA + Israel accounts flooding the social media. However the issue is that it only works if your identity is linked to you, so for most peopl

The divide you see in this map is more like Soviet infrastructure versus western infrastructure and Eastern approach to alcohol and nutrition. It’s much more than money.

True, it all depends on the implementation in each country. Any examples of this happening to small developers?

Any examples of indie devs burned by that danger? Don't do shady stuff and you will be fine and if you do shady stuff and push for edge cases and interpretation ambiguities to run your business then study the laws in details and lawyer

I'm sure this will freak out many indie developers, but relax this doesn't affect you. Just yesterday I stumbled upon a developer video from Germany who was trying to build some AI RAG SaaS for small businesses and was completely

Readers can unlock more content(which is often just some AI slop or SEO optimized word salad) by watching an ad or can get their content on some AI chatbot on the VC's dime. Good luck with that, quality publishing died years ago when G

Agree completely, protectionism when your manufacturers still have the resources to compete is just postponing their end and reducing their chances to get a feel on the market and actually build a competitive product. However, on the clima

Look, I don't know why you believe so much in the imaginary timeline but maybe Iran would have been like Israel: having the bomb and not talking about it. Who knows, it's all speculation at this point. The current reality is that

Well, whoever did that was proven right(from their standing point + Ukraine). Apparently you can't trust USA and give up your nukes. If you don't have nukes they don't honor the agreements and guarantees and even bomb you. Un
