Market cap is actually a quite precise estimation of what company offers to the world. Money is just information about usefulness. If you are useful to other people you've got money. If someone is useful to you, you give money.

You basically describe Soviet "obkoms". The commitee of people who decided what is ok to say/sing/write, and what is not. Needless to say, they became corrupt very soon, because no one was allowed to say a word against t

It's worth noting that previous major flu seasons were around January. So it's pointless to compare current death numbers with another March weeks. You need to compare it to previous flu seasons.

I am not downvoter, but you should learn the history of the language. Most of the concepts in the language were first implemented long before Google even existed, for systems that were very different from modern ones. It was made by people

Keeping LRU cache that large with these performance requirements is not a "most people's problem". Go is actually great to solve most people's problem with web servers, while Rust is better for edge cases.

I stopped reading at this phrase too. If someone uses sentence like "We all agree that *", it would be good to define "we". Otherwise it's just manipulative and breaks personal boundaries of the reader.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Some 4 to 5 million died in Ukraine, and another 2 to 3 million in the North Caucasus and the Lower Volga area." Russia had very traditional society at that time, with large number of chi

Invasion was succesful because people did not support the Ukrainian government and considered themselves Russian. Unfortunately they were betrayed by Bolsheviks then. About Russian and Tatar - the original usage of that phrase differs from

Well it looks that you are not Russian, your word analysis is quite wrong. We call ourselves русские(Russians) to distinguish ourselves from россияне(citizens of Russia). It's meaningless to look at maps of Ukraine in 1919-1920, becaus

It's all true, but it was not anti-Ukrainian crime commited by Russians. It was anti-Russian crime commited by Bolsheviks. Every agricultural region with Russian(Ukrainian or Belorussian included) population suffered, not only Ukraine.

They did exactly this, except they used the whole peninsula as transport.

Kaliningrad population is 90% Russian, and you can't make German or Lithuanian out of Russian by changing his name in passport. You can make Ukrainian though, just change Alexey for Olexy.

That's modern propagandistic oversimplification of the Great Hunger, which devastated agricultural parts of Soviet Union, including Russians and Ukrainians.

There is nothing that Ukraine can do to prevent you from visiting Crimea, except punishing you later if they know somehow. So they have no real power or influence over peninsula.

Kuban and Crimea was conquered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great from Ottomans and local Golden Horde debrises. Ukraine was never considered non-Russian state until the fall of Soviets in 199x. Even when it gained short independency in

Because if some change requires you to make commits to 3 repos, submodule approach will require to make 4 commits instead. Very annoying.

Are you now advocating punishing people for their beliefs?
147.
by vogre 7y ago
Because both are just a political stances. If it's okay for you to punish for one stance and not to punish for another then you are pro-censorship. So don't be surprised when companies start to censor people you like - you allowed

Well yes. Supporting political organisation is the form of political activity. He was bullied and fired for these actions only, I don't see any mentions that he was annoying people any way other than expressing his views. How is that

He was fired for his political position, which is, AFAIK, not a rare case in US companies. In the link you provided it's clear he was hated and fired for political discussions in mailing lists.
