>countries crying for help That's a huge stretch. The 'cry for help' isn't unanimous by very far.

Do you guys consider federalisation as an option? Ukraine seems like a sufficiently big and diverse country for that. It sure as hell won't resolve the problem of which trade block…

Probably no unrelated people at all were executed or imprisoned in 1917 or 1905. Even for the most frantic career revolutionaries it wasn't uncommon to flee from the deportation an…

That's so very simplistic though. You by no means kept your head low in 1905, and 1917 since those were years of revolutions, the later two pretty successful, which brought freedom…

I am talking about people who immigrated as adults. The way he talks about his experience in Russia cues that he belongs to that group. His post may be too harsh, but it is certain…

What's your point? Russians don't smile because they are chimps, but Lithuanians don't smile because they are true to themselves and others? Ok.

That's pretty interesting and bears some ramifications. Like the fact that Americans might have been not a smiling bunch before dentistry became widely accessible (this might have …

To be frank, he does sound like a Russian-American. They are often pretty dismissive of their heritage. Rightfully so, judging by your comment.

>they're more utilities for managing multiple framework instances. Still, you're likely to find tutorials that use them as a de facto standard, which only adds to noob confusion. T…

I'd say this whole regional distinctions thing is utterly mythologized and politically motivated. It's more like branding than anything tangible. No one wants to be associated with…

I guess typical solution is to come up with a new word with desired meaning. This way 'programmers' became 'developers' and 'system administrators' are becoming 'dev ops'.

Ha ha good one. Being pedantic is a curse, yes.

I guess it would also ruin compatibility with previous polls. Sigh.

>Southern North America (eg. Mexico) >Northern part of South America >Souther part of South America Looks needlessly fragmented and imprecise. What is 'Southern part of South Ameri…

Voting system is a great cleaning mechanism (akin to current in a pond), something that keeps mediocre submissions and poor comments out of sight. If this feature is rationed (eg f…

Is that, like, Russia Today channel on Hacker News?

Охуительная рационализация.
