nice head in the sand

That's a hilarious response from a Russia apologist. You think telling other people they're naive about the CIA means you can ignore all the bad stuff about Russia but that's not how the world works and you are either paid to have say this or are doing it for free and I'm not sure which is worse.

I try not to put myself in the hands of any spy agency.

"Other team bad so my team good" is reasoning barely worthy of the human mind.

Maybe this is exactly the reason why it’s worth checking? They open-sourced it.

Yeah, like Apache Mesos is running the NSA data center in Utah. One of the biggest in the world.

Do you happen to have any link where I can read more about this?

> remember FSB is NOT KGB because Russia now is a democratic country and not a communist USSR

Secret services in a democratic country being better / worse than their communist counterparts aside, "democracy" is a bit of stretch when describing Russia.

There is an interesting take that Russian part of the Yandex group opensources as much as possible, in order for the overseas companies of the group to leverage technologies without legal or financial ties with Russia.

For me this seems very plausible, as for the last year they first did everything to distance from anything related to politics (e. g. they sold their news and their blogging platform to the basically state-owned VK), and then to separate Russian and overseas businesses as much as possible.

brainwashing at its peak. When USA does things, it is for the good of society, democracy. When Russia does things, it is hurting people, bad for society. Come on buddy, time to wake up and understand every country does things for its own good and whatever your media is telling about Russia is bad, it is because they're applying 3 letter agency brainwashing methods on to you. Code is open source, if you read code you…

this discussion will not add any value to the tech community of HN. My main concern of parent comment is, it is adding politics to the discussion of recently open sourced tech piece, instead of focusing on its capabilities, trade-offs and shortcomings and using it as a chance to learn constraints of another systems (in this case Yandex)

it's always whataboutism when it doesn't fit the narrative, why haven't you asked same question to the parent comment when they tried to politicise technical product discussion?
