We are well past sanction stories and moved into national security by banning export: https://tradingeconomics.com/china/exports-of-fertilizers The only real solution i see is to s…

Wheat is not the only problem, fertilizer prices are also disrupted and it might get worse. Next to the deaths in Ukraine, we might thank Putin for 100 million plus deaths by famin…

How is this non-sense the top comment? I can't believe we get this level of ignorance on HN. (1) the ruling power will eventually control all communication and remove any free spee…

Well consider me expanded. But id argue my first reason isn't that far off from his take on Putin's goal. Its a little strange whenever i find media from before the invasion talkin…

I would simply start with: "You have to be more specific" and go from there. And as a warning to your approach: don't take on the job to make dysfunctional people function for free…

I would counter that some of the best software was built to simply fix a problem the dev had. Although you could argue the market had at least one interested party.

Just to lay out the Russian side. There are two primary reasons we think the Russians did it. Putin has gone full conspiracy theorist, nostalgic, delusions of grandeur, fear of dyi…

What Russian elites? Nobody in Russia holds enough power over Putin to change his mind. Since the start of COVID he has closed himself off and basically only talks to a club of ide…

The US is more than capable of winning both and the Chinese know it. In contrast to the Russians, the Chinese are completely dependent on international trade to keep people fed and…

Its a rather simple situation, they would never publish this if true, and wouldn't publish this if false. Period. Nothing to "ask for sources about". Simply choose which you belief…

There is certainly a factor of ego at play, but the more obvious reason is that Russia will fail both economically and strategically if Ukraine integrates with Europe, and the demo…

You're right that the hopeful propaganda is giving a distorted view of the dire situation. Combined with the fact that the Russians don't carry their phones to show their victories…

Ukraine has a significant potential for gas and shale fields. One of the reasons the EU has been getting friendly with Ukraine. Putin knows his way of life, and the Russian budget …

Germany was told to be supporting of pacifism by the Americans after WW2. But with the Americans signaling that they are no longer willing to play world police, a shift in that att…

I'm not satisfied at all with Europe response so far, but i might be missing something here. > can I rely on these people who threw out every treaty for a want of sleeping without …

The point is somewhat undermined by, A: using artificial intelligence when statistics would have been enough ( or a failure to explain what part made it AI ) B: Using Chinese tikto…

The risk of NATO intervening by art 5 are zero. Putin is delusional about history and his place in it. But he's not about to literally destroy everything he owns and then some by t…

> but everyone would think "Oh it's Facebook they'll get back in the game soon, better buy now" Not everybody. I've been in the "Facebook is overvalued" camp for many years. It has…

I'm extremely curious what you think her job is and what her job actually is. I don't know either one. But I must be waaaaaay of base if 2m+ is a reasonable salary for the workload…

Of course its going to fail in consumer electronics. For a majority of content, an 'unbreakable' DRM layer drastically decreases its value. In our pandemic world i can simply say :…

As a counter argument ( and i'm not 100% sure it holds up ). The cache failures was because the cache was to small. Whereas now we care about CPU OP data dependencies.

This is a rather shallow and naive way of looking at things. Put bluntly, nukes don't matter, and armed forces are only used to suppress societal discontent. Ukraine sees the regre…

I think they just meant that in this context them is ambiguous, meaning they are forced to clarify in this case. A regression in API. One that would be nice to see fixed in the nex…

The Pareto distribution applies to software development. And aggravated in my experience because: - Its really hard to work with multiple people on the same project ( and when you …
