Perhaps, except I didn’t do it on purpose - I can’t control my dreams.

American law forces all US-controlled companies to relay user data to various govern agencies without any real oversight. EU is protecting their citizens too. Even US is doing the same, see TikTok.

Oh, I’m sorry, me calling nationalistic genocide perpetrators “Nazis” was just a rhetorical figure here. As for literal Russian Nazis: https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1572972414451027970 for just one exampl

They don’t, there is plenty of western companies there. And yes, they need a local branch, same way non-US companies need US branch to conduct business there.

Had the same problem, until one night I’ve realized - in my dream - that I’ve already graduated and I while I could still do all those things, like taking exams, their result won’t ever matter again. It happened once or twice again, with t

I’m not sure it’s just that. Explosives availability isn’t much different (I think), and yet I don’t remember European police bombing a city quarter.

How do you explain why the vast majority of Russian losses in Ukraine are ethnic minorities, if not with racism? How do you explain those minorities have no representation in government, if there is no colonialism? Russia is world’s last c

Not really - Russian society is piss poor, their market is worthless compared to US or EU. That’s why China prioritizes western markets over Russia.

HP48 was awesome, but now, quarter century later, I like HP42 (also Saturn-based) better. It’s more convenient for simple tasks, and I no longer need to do complicated ones on a calculator. It’s also way faster, and smaller - it’s exactly

If you hire a lot of people and then steal their wages you don't go to prison either. You can be proven to be a murderer (OJ Simpson) or a child rapist (DuPont, https://www.forbes.com/sites/denizcam/2019&#x2F

>Example: Imagine Ukraine blows up a bus filled with civilians (war is hell, right?). If your organization reports this without any kind of verification - given the common Russian trope of hitting civilians, including civilian buses, and

There's plenty of concrete information - like the fact that this is an artificial conflict manufactured by Russia, and it's perfectly normal to use artillery to fight enemy combatants - but you're ignoring it, because it does

"As soon as NATO gets involved"? It's not NATO who invaded Ukraine, it's Russia. You're blaming the victim - or perhaps the party that decided to help the victim. And perhaps this is the root of the misunderstandi

"Recruited", "lured" instead of simply "hired" or "employed" - this is a language of propaganda.

Slack is a technically-inferior IRC clone with crappy web UI. How anyone would pay even $120 for it is beyond me.

The prof refused to wear the mic "citing religious reasons". Which kind of follows the usual trend of people refusing to do their job for fake reasons.

Sounds similar to what jemalloc (default libc allocator in FreeBSD) calls “junk filling”.

For background: “The Great Barrington Declaration was sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research, a libertarian free-market think tank associated with climate change denial.”

We are talking about old, worn out guns firing ammunition way past its expiration date. What you are describing would have worked six months ago — and even then wouldn’t be comparable to what Ukraine is doing, simply because you need an or

And you really believe that a country that can’t even make ordinary cars is able to refurbish nuclear weapons? Reminder: Russia is not USSR, it’s USSR’s retarded offspring. It’s only got a minor fraction of capabilities USSR had.

Hopefully not. EU has nothing to gain here.

Would that “shield” prevent US agencies from accessing data related to EU citizens?

Because people who make decisions to use it are not the people using it. It’s a systemic problem with all enterprise software - it’s crap, because nobody who's opinion matter cares or knows it’s crap.

Drones make it possible to aim. Russians don’t have anything to aim - they can cover an area with artillery, but for that you don’t need a drone.

Which commodities? The only useful thing Russia can offer China is gas, and that’s only because it’s cheap. Well, another thing China might want from Russia is Manchuria, but it’s not the time I think.
