They wield power not available to individual humans. They achieve things individual humans can’t. They get people to sacrifice themselves (up to a literal karoshi) for company’s interests. Are you sure you don’t do things that appear stup

Given that Russia can’t even manufacture ordinary cars (or phones, or computers…), I’m not convinced about this “modern” replacement. They probably just figured how to replace custom technology with COTS stuff bought from the West. Especi

>There is something very indecent in talking about nationality or ethnicity of great people as if it really matters. You do realize that this thread started with you misappropriating Soviet achievements to Russia?

So exactly like with Koenigsberg. What you’re quoting was true before the invasion. Now Russian is obviously associated with Rashists, and so even Russian-speaking Ukrainians are switching away from invaders language.

I agree about backdoors not being acceptable, but we are talking about using legitimate software update mechanisms, not backdoors. As for “not everyone is an active supporter” - governments exist to represent people. From this it naturally

Russia is a completely different situation though - they invaded another country and are perpetrating genocide, which means that anything that hurts Russia should be a fair game. A full data leak would be even better - but sadly in this ca

Funny how you mention Chinese factories, and not the factories of the country that’s been proven to plant backdoors everywhere.

I think the double caching is still an issue - on both Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux - but I don’t see how that’s related. The reason for using makefs for this is to 1. Make it possible to create images without root, and 2. To make them repr

This would be fine if it only affected developers that live in US. I suspect it doesn’t though, and this means it’s yet another proof that we need companies that are outside the US jurisdiction, same reason we need those outside Russian ju

Not to mention that Korolev, “von Braun of the Soviet space program”, was Ukrainian.

But the brains that made it work were in Kyiv. It took Russia over ten years (and probably tons of imported electronics) to replace it.

No, it's just that while USSR was a proper country with a diverse and often beautiful culture, the main achievement of post-USSR Russia was selling off things inherited from USSR. Can you quote any other major post-1990 Russian achiev

My guess is 1. Because that technology is used absolutely everywhere, eg in cars, and 2. Because it's quite easy: take a transformer, replace the lower-voltage side with a few turns of a _really_ thick wire, connect the other side to m

Thank you! Indeed that would be a (rather rough) first approximation. It's more complex than that though. First, I'm not convinced that US is less autocratic than China. European countries of course are, but US is not a functio

Quite possibly; Ukraine was a major scientific and engineering hub in USSR. Many of the things we recognise USSR for came from Ukraine, from Mriya to much of the space program. Also, Ukraine is where the civilised part of the Russian civil
