Russians very much do touch civilians, please don't spread lies of these mass murderers. Aside of what is happening on the frontlines and behind them, they target civilians in towns and cities in all of Ukraine with drones and rockets

The banking system would probably be fine, only card payments would suffer but there are mostly already alternatives available.

Sure, see also Vietnam, Afganistan, Iraq, Iran, where they didn't get what they wanted.

That's not how any of this works. And anyway, most US bonds are held by US domestic entities.

> US has the power to just tell any creditor that they won't be repaying Sure, and what happens then? Nobody buys new gov bonds; non-gov debt rating stops making sense. For the financial system it's a shock so huge it's be

Huawei has their HarmonyOS but still releases Android phones too for international markets - but these can't use Google Services, so they have their own services. If it's possible to somehow install google services I have no idea.

From Europe, at this point I don't even look at Pixels because of their sad excuse of a battery. Just buying directly from China better phones for half the price. Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi are all good, others probably too, Huawei has nice ha

We don't have a lot of "censorship within the EU", some russian propaganda tv channels might be blocked (as they should) but that's about it really. Now if you mean in a particular EU member, that's different but it

Though the rest of the year will be hot and dry, the winters will still be freezing, which limits what you can do, and late spring frost which kills fruit buds is very common. We should just turn some fields into PV plants...

Hello from Slovakia. Yellow grass by the middle of august is not that exceptional here. The current drought is much worse though; the trees are already shedding leaves and we've had wild swine come to our appartment building (in the mi

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him t

Then don't install them. I want my extensions in my browser on my computer to do whatever I allow them to do and not what's allowed by Google.

if we want to be anal, UK cares a bit because of the GFA, North Ireland peace agreements. An international agreement is a part of those & also it's very important to the UK for various reasons, some even characterize it as de-facto

I don't believe the OpenAI LLM attack on HF is marketing (documented by, for example, HF annoucing a hacking incident before OpenAI knew what's going on). I do believe other companies suddenly announcing their LLMs can hack too is

Why just in the last 5 years? They got a lot of money from the EU since 2004. And that's fine, because the EU also profitted from their membership. All relatively poorer EU countries are net receivers, but not all of them are able to u

I suspect the dosage and absorption isn't fully understood yet or very individual. For me some 2mg pills work fine and other 3mg pills don't; currently I use 4mg time-release and it's mostly fine. 1 mg is definitely not enoug

LessWrong has been obsessed with AI. They certainly are much further along, but along a road which has diverged with reality long time ago and they relatively overweight AI risks so much it's not even funny anymore.

Right about DeepSeek, but with their history of handling data, I would never trust Meta either.
