Isn’t that mission accomplished from the EU perspective, though? Whether they don’t care very much and left, or whether they care a lot and left, as long as the level of caring was sufficient that they were forced to take the gambling for k

That Ukraine doesn’t actually exist is what you hear on Russian TV, but is it actually true? I don’t think it’s quite that simple.

The original is flagged now, but if we read it differently it makes sense we are coming away with different interpretations. In my opinion the person doesn’t seem particularly well informed about basic facts - getting the names of places an

When I started my company, I founded in the US and it was way more like what he described in the second part than all the hoops he jumped through in the first part.

They seem to mainly be celebrated by people today (at least by the types who celebrate that sort of thing) for their white supremacism rather than their leftist policies.

They said “Crimea and eastern regions”.

Sure, I would definitely agree they are worse in a lot of ways. I don’t really agree their existence is proof that all of Ukraine is a new Nazi Germany and therefore the invasion by Russia is justified. Maybe that’s not what you’re saying e

Lots, of course. Authoritarians are attracted to militias and militaries. Even in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/inside-u-s-military-s-... . https://www.vice.com/en/article/

You can find embarrassing far right extremists and parties in every country these days. Ukraine is hardly a new nazi Germany.

Wasn’t the whole first part about how annoying it was to create a startup in Germany, and what he learned in the second part made him realise he shouldn’t have even bothered in the first place (regardless of whether or not YC would eventual

The cap is 2000, will 50 engineers for example really only need 40 minutes of build time each in an entire month? That’s like 5-10 builds, depending on your build duration.. just one or two a week or so. You might use all that up in a singl

I’ve found in Germany it’s best to be direct and not rely on implication to make your point.

They way I read it, they aren’t saying there are no religious people or vegans. Just that nobody cares except them.

That sums it up nicely. I put my heart and soul into a product that at one point Drew personally decided was harmful and worthy of self righteous scorn, and that wasn’t very fun, but I don’t wish the same back on him. It’s just kind of the

They are definitely redeemable for rewards. I’m not sure if they can be bought for cash or not yet, though.

Twitch has recently added channel points and gambling to most (all?) channels. The allure of betting as a way to juice engagement is just too hard to resist in gaming it seems, even when it comes to young children.

At least as of the time of this reply, it's $1.38. Last time it was $5.90 was back in February.

AOL was definitely a trash heap and as you describe with the ads, but it was ridiculed for being that way. I can definitely remember using the web pre-walled garden and pre-advertising. Back when the primary way to log on was through a shel

That was really common at Microsoft in the late 90s (and may still be) to be able to use the HOV lanes when driving from Redmond to Seattle. It worked well because you were picking up colleagues, which sort of established a certain level of

The Kanban book by David Anderson was all about this, but it never caught on like Scrum did. If I’m feeling cynical I think its because there were no certifications to charge for and no strange new roles for middle managers.

Scrum was always very strange, a little package of dogmatic practice as a way (supposedly) to implement a highly adaptive methodology.

It was the first language I learned, and I will always have a fondness for it. But I’m also happy to be using languages like Ruby now for scripting.
