Frozen Russian assets won’t ever return to Russia, and I suspect even Russians are aware of this.

I’d be _immensely_ proud if it was Poland.

China is already dictating the price - it’s been like this even before war. Without gas they have no reason to tolerate Putin.

USA being the obvious suspect would only be a problem if people believed this to be a bad thing. I’m from Poland, Europe, and I’m really happy about those pipelines exploding, because it clears a major strategic problem, and I suspect ther

It was a part of Soviet Bloc though.

So what does it improve then, that would justify the incompatibility and added technological debt (dependencies)?

It makes it necessary to use a browser to obtain the token. That browser is a huge attack surface. With web, it doesn’t matter, since you need to be using it anyway, but for mail it’s just additional cruft.

You can use 2FA with static password authentication. Remember the “password” here only means “character string”, it can easily carry an OTP.

>It's basic auth that's getting deprecated, due to being considered a legacy authentication protocol. Problem is, it is being replaced by solution that decreases security.

Not only it’s tricky and user-hostile, but it also severely decreases security by forcing people to use fundamentally insecure mechanism to obtain the authentication token.

At least here in Cambridge social services literally rent hotel rooms for homeless folks when it gets dangerously cold.

The mechanism you describe is strictly voluntary - and much less repressive than what’s considered normal in American workplaces - but of course it doesn’t prevent you from fantasizing about making it mandatory. But of course it’s not cult

Not sure about India, but China is buying the gas at prices way below market rate, likely at loss - because Russia has no other choice but to give them whatever they want, simply to stay relevant. Which means, the more they sell, the more

Of course, and you will find cases of opposition to it in eg Tibet; on the other hand the negative aspects of Catholicism might be relatively unknown there.

Can you tell how much would you normally make on a book, ie what’s the expected amount of money for those two years? I wonder if it could be made back by eg Patreon instead of traditional copyrights?

US approach to COVID is pretty much the exact opposite to what China did. It follows from a fundamental difference in priorities - Chinese don’t want to die for somebody’s profits. I’m also not sure if fake news is an entire industry in C

In the PC world this has been done couple of times, eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2O from the late 90’s. I think the real reason why it works for mainframes is that their operating system is so primitive, so it’s

I don’t remember hearing about, say, Buddhists having to hide their religiosity. There is opposition about certain specific religions, which come from the fact those religions were, and often still are, hostile towards other people. An exa

Of course they would be vindicated; they would just lose military contracts afterwards. In a way that’s not in any way related to this affair of course.

It’s sad when you look at China building 20 new reactors at the moment and then comparing to what we have in EU.

“Mini” is just a marketing name at this point. The “i” is just a POWER machine - a micro - running a weird operating system.

There is a reason why there are no proper benchmark results for mainframes available, and why the EULA prohibits publishing them.

A responsible course of action, given Hertz history of false accusations, would be to ignore “stolen” cars that belong to Hertz. It’s a lesser evil - even if it actually got stolen nothing bad will happen, Hertz is a wealthy company.
