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 s…

Yandex has definitely made it extremely easy to leverage their tech, by selecting to use the Apache 2.0 license.

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…

there is no need to slander me. im definitely not paid by anyone to give my opinions

imperialism is imperialism. it should be denounced

if you dont think there is a US imperialist element involved in Ukraine you need to inform yourself a bit more. you can start with reading about North Stream 2

before the war in Ukraine i used to think that, in comparison the US, at least Russia bombs countries without calling it freedom [1]. When Russia started its "special operation" against Ukraine i now think that at best Putin is trolling the US, and at worst he is trying to be the US

It does look like Clickhouse transmogrified from a Russia-based Yandex open-source project into a San Francisco-based VC-back C-corp incorporated in Delaware just in the nick of time.

(Not suggesting this is wrong. I'm just offering an interpretation based on skimming public blog posts over the past ~2 years.)

It's a problem of entire Russia. My Asian girlfriend from china was denied to enter a restaurant in Moscow because of her origins... It's absolutely legal to put restrict your rental apartments nationality. In yandex you can ads like " will lease my house only to russians". It's everywhere. If you will ride a taxi in russia, an offensive words to other nationalities/ethnicities is everywhere. The problem is so big, t…

Another way of interpreting this sort of culture is that they know not to take things too personally and that intent behind words is more important than the words themselves. It's a kind of liberating way of interacting with each other, and not uncommon to see in environments like fraternities or sports teams. Some people will call that culture exclusionary, but I might call those people neurotic.

To put it another way, who are you to be offended on behalf of the people calling each other churka? Clearly they're not offended by it, so shouldn't you let them have their fun?

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…

russian Yandex no longer belongs to original Yandex founders/owners - it belongs to and is controlled by kremlin.

makes sense that original engineers/founders create their own stuff via opensourcing their original work

Yandex is incorporated in the Netherlands and the founders live in Israel. I think they will create several spin-off open source companies (like ClickHouse Inc.) outside Russia to continue doing B2B business with the outside world.

They did some time ago actually.

Like https://nebius.com/about for example.

Not to mention that Yandex been operation in countries outside of Russia under different name from the beginning (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yango_(ride_sharing))
