Ukrainian troops have entered Kherson city, the regional capital, and residents have flooded the central square, waving Ukrainian flags, according to social media images geolocated by CNN. The main bridge across the Dnipro River has also be

Putin has invaded Ukraine in 2014. The war was ongoing since then.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 when NATO membership was nowhere on the actual agenda.

The Russian annexation of Crimea had at least some ambiguity. Yes, it was illegal, but Crimea used to belong to Russia, it had majority Russian-speakers, and there was no violence on any significant scale during takeover. The question was,

There is a long way from “we don’t fully understand the side effects” to the “extinction of human race”.

There is nothing ever “definitely” about Russia. It could be as simple as “look what we can do”.

How about you stop strategizing and just say what you want to say?

I guess we don't want to wait to find out.

The original plan was to do Crimea 2.0, just walk in and put a soldier on every corner. No one would resist. That didn't go down as planned. The current plan is Grozny 2.0. Demolish cities with artillery and then capture the ruins.

Perhaps you are not aware, but Kasparov was a major figure in Russian politics since 1990s.

For those of you who say "we can't provoke Russia" and "we can't risk a nuclear war", I'd like to ask, how far are you willing to go to prevent a nuclear war? I assume you are OK with losing Ukraine. How a

Time for a shameless plug. I'm working on a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted email, and it is currently functioning, with support for POP3/IMAP clients, as well as a web client. The idea is keep the identity registry on a block

Ubikom is encrypted email service based on decentralized identity. All messages are encrypted while in transit and at rest. Unlike other secure email services out there, our identity registry is blockchain-based, and will be eventually avai

Well if you google for SMIME adoption numbers, you mostly find articles about why exactly SMIME is dead. I would guess it hasn't solved the issue. Our approach is to make it impossible to send a message that is not secure (signed and e

Like being accused, exonerated, and then taking a victory lap over all the major publications to the sympathetic audience. Damn you America! Just like China, no? Also: "The FBI documents alleged that Chen received $19 million from Chin

It's weird it took them so long to disable streaming. One of the first things you do in this case is roll back the last software and config updates, even innocent looking ones.

Here's what I don't understand. I the example the author gives, a sandwich is $11, and at let's say 9% profit margin the restaurant makes $1 on it. Why not make the sandwich $12 and double your profit? Sure it doesn't ma

Yes. In fact, we decided to go blockchain way (for now) with some hesitation. It just seemed like the best way to address the decentralized identity piece for now. But there are downsides, for sure.

I see bits and pieces of this idea floating around, but I don't think anyone has combined them into a complete platform yet.

Your identity is your private key. It can't be taken away in a way how your Google account can be just disabled one day. We also have a way to retain control if your private key gets compromised - you can have a parent key, which can t

Hate to be a pedant, but Izvestiya was a propaganda branch of the Supreme Soviet, not the communist party. Whatever the minor difference it can make.

> if the president lets go of Taiwan, the CCP would be overthrown tomorrow Haha, no. CCP will just present it as a victory for some weird reason, and everyone will just keep applauding. There might be some resentment, but not open one.

It sounds like they are trying to have it both ways. On one hand, they need to do something. On the other hand, they can say, well we couldn’t identify the perpetrators, so oops, we tried.
