Ironically and funnily enough, i expect the ('Apple-made') TV Show 'Severance' to become a reality.I suspect it already is, hyperbolically speaking.

After 9/11, the government built a 'secretive' surveillance machine. Resuming this fundamental issue to a per-basis case normalizes it to the point where people only care given certain circumstances, which is why the governme

Realize that one's truth is one's observation. So from this, you can have X's truth being based to a certain degree on Y's statement, which may be his(Y's, that is) actual observation or a relayed observation from a

Definitely, but there still exist such "homo sovieticus" in other ex-USSR countries(Belarus,Ukraine,Transnistria,even Moldova --all decreasingly though--).You also see this kind of mentality even in some western countries, but I&#

In a way you answered your own question: the 2% comes to not have to spend a lot of fixed money in a one blow, like the case here with 100B.Instead you spend constantly and improve, after all defence is an investment and that investment is

In the case of germany specifically i think the situation is more complicated, because they have been missing their 2% quota for some time now, compared to France, UK and even some EE countries after Trump began pressuring member states to

Anyone knows the infrastructure behind Sci-Hub? I'm asking because I feel like they're vulnerable to be taken down in the future.Maybe IPFS/other are not the best options but some sort of hardened network could benefit such p

Fixed values don't mean much of anything if you're a big economy like Germany. The reason the percentage is of GDP is, to put it very bluntly, because 'money needs protection'.Becoming an economic force without spending

Better late than never I guess...That's a lot of money but there's also a reason the nato quota is calculated as a percentage of GDP.Now let's just hope this money won't somehow go into the oligarch's pockets, as we

Without dismissing the empirical evidence and importancy of the study, these are not that surprising: after all the gut is very linked to eating, and from the start of the abstract it somewhat relates: you could imagine people who suffer fr

Yeah: don't hold your breath on that. This is why self-hosting is the ultimate best solution and is a big criterion when i choose software.If you have moral/ethical problems towards an entity: you can solve them, because you'

This has happened way too frequently and in distinct cases to keep pretending 'it's just incompetence/ignorance'. By the time people realize it's more akin to malevolence it will sadly be too late. I now propose an

I think china's plans for tw are not necessarily determined by Ukraine, mainly because getting TW hurts the west and empowers China way more.(chips,obviously) It's a reasonable assumption to make and personally I think China wants

Ukrainians are definitely not alone.A lot of them are coming here(a EE,NATO/UE country) and other neighboring countries and they're received well: most people in EE naturally dislike russia for obvious reasons. I understand somewh

Not surprising.Most of the westerners in the corporate world(especially on the far left end of the spectrum) and people near that sphere of influence are fetishists of either the russian regime or the russian way of doing business.They talk

Ugh... 'happier' is a strong conclusion.If I had to guess the actual effect probably is something along the lines of people having more time for themselves, taking a break from society, and realizing they're stressed for no r

I agree, the key point here is the dangers we potentially face if we forcefully remove cash as an option of payment.We should strive to at least keep it an option where possible, and I would base this mainly on the privacy aspect(and second

That's arguably true, though I'm also skeptical of any official numbers. The protests are not homogeneous at all: on one hand you have seemingly long convoys that are made up of small number of people, there are also very dense on

> You can continue to protest, but you can't be breaking the laws forever. One of the reasons the right to protest is a fundamental one is because laws are made by people, for people, in the service of the public good and well-being

This is a disingenuous argument.If you want to pay for software or digital goods you already probably have or want a bank account, a paypal or something.You're already in the ecosystem and nobody forces you to use cash everywhere.By th

I remember trying somewhat similar a long time ago(I think it was around 2016).I once paused for a bit and realized the long-term effects might be the opposite of the intended one, then I stopped.There are a lot of ways people can learn to
