As if this wasn't enough of a headache, GDPR regulation requires more safeguards before you can put your prod-data in a secured staging environment. Then there is the database size, which can make it hard and expensive to keep preprod

I get your point, but massacre of the Ukraine population carried out by the Russians is newsworthy and yes perhaps off-topic. I'd much rather come to Hacker News to discuss these events as i find the moderation and general attitude of

It took around 22 years for Finland to get their latest nuclear plant operational, that's a long time to wait. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30653220 Yes, the second plant should be built faster but right now nu

The recent change of tactic from Putin makes sense. It's crazy to think that Russia can lose all tanks present in Ukraine due to advances in anti-tank weaponry. The next phase would be the risk of losing all fighter jets over Ukraine d

Not Liberalism, rather Democracy everywhere is the goal. It's only fair to question how Qatar treats human rights or how China treats anyone opposed to the ruling party to name a few examples.

There is quite a difference between expressions of discontent, which happen all the time, to taking up armed resistance. The Russian interference helped turn the discontent into the current conflict.

The symmetry of NATO being involved in the named countries is hard to view as a threat to Russia. Yes, those countries are all in Asia, same as Russia, but apart from that it's a really weak argument that Russia should feel threatened.

Disagree. The conflict in Donbas was started when Russian forces helped those who wanted to take up arms against Ukraine. Had there been no Russian help, things would look very different. See also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/

Georgia and Moldova are on the same path as Ukraine, they want to be members of the EU. All three countries are outside of NATO and EU, so they will have no one daring help them against a Russian invasion. Putin has shown that he is willing

Deadliest yes perhaps, but the invasion in Ukraine will be resolved long before the Ethiopian. Perhaps a controversial take on why this will be so, is that a conflict with half of the population being Muslim and the other half non-muslim ha

Here is my humble opinion. Kaspersky is by definition a Russian company that provides antivirus software to many influential western companies and institutions. The risk of Kaspersky bowing to the pressure from Putin is just too great to ig

Already the part where an EDR can override any safeguards is broken. If it's that important, then you need to design a safer system and pay the cost of doing so. Anything else is leaving the front door wide open for hackers.

As a European i have no problems with the individual Russian or Chinese citizen, it's entirely the government that's the problem. The Chinese government wants to be able to take over Taiwan some day, so they can't send a sign

Indeed, the only one silly here is the manager not understanding this simple bit of customer psychology. Apart from MBAs, politicians of today apply many of the same ideas, e.g. any kind of long-term planning is scrapped for fast results. N

These measures are extreme even to China, and can only be viewed as a test of how much control the regime can have over its citizens. The answer to that is that the regime can do anything it wants to, period. There is no way that China afte

I find that the more senior you become, e.g. the longer you spend on the job, the easier it is to interrupt your work to help a colleague. Not all are that way though, which can be annoying, but i sincerely hope they can recognize a questio

It is as if the article assumes that everyone is an American. As a European, I am very much aware that much of the world doesn't really care if Ukraine disappears from the map or not. At least does not care enough to implement sanction

Mask requirements at this point is a silly relic from the past, time to end this nonsense right now. Travel should not be dictated by luck of the draw, ie. do you get a positive test or not before traveling. Enough already.

So given the facts about obesity in India (high) vs. obesity in Africa (low) and the median age, I'd say that there is no mystery. Three risk factors for Corona are Obesity, other comorbidities and age, the rest of the factors are pret

Economic sanctions send a clear message to Putin that his invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable. Direct confrontation is not an option and neither is doing nothing at all, so sanctions is the logical choice. I agree that sanctions will not ma

Hi, must say that it's a thoughtful article that has valid points. Maybe as a European i feel more strongly about this, but every means possible must be employed to send a clear signal to Russia about the unacceptable state of affairs.

The author obviously thinks that open source that discriminates cannot be open source. In principle this is true given the current Open Source license. But i would argue that the clause about discrimination is out of touch with reality. Usa
