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 stop feeding the animals with stuff hum

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 famine within the 3 years.

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 speech. You think people can trade child porn online beca

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 talking about Putins position.

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. Either communicate that you are taking on a

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 dying. He has locked himself away with alternative history sinc

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 ideologues who read and write alternative history.

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 the lights on.

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 or don't make a choice. But please don&

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 demography of Russia won't allow them to fight a human war

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. Apparently RT expected to announce the capture o

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 to consider doing something like this, is gone when those be

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 attitude is a matter of time. > That is, it works as long as

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 tiktok as the title. On a side note, Telegram is the nexus of raw

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 triggering art 5.

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 : The R value plummets. Or in simple terms. Bob doe

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 regressive authoritarianism Putin creates and didn't li

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 next release.

I don't think the comparison holds well enough. The vast majority is in it in the hopes to get richer. its closer to tulip mania with a 'distributed' MLM pyramid scheme twist.

Async await at the language level isn't a scam. Its an attempt to build an alternative to statemachines( large switch statements) and nested callbacks. It just so happened that we were trying to break 100k connections on a single mac

The RoE analysis is decent, but it wouldn't be HN if every now and then someone really wants to sell the idea that your average business owner and your average S&P 500 business are all in this together with taxes as their enemy. Ta
