>sweatshop workers in areas with human rights violations Such as USA with $11B of goods manufactured by forced labour in prison camps? (Note: this is not whataboutism, it’s pointing out hypocrisy.)

Of course they do. To China, Russia is a cheap mafia-owned gas station. It can no longer provide any real business opportunities thanks to sanctions; see how the Russian part of Belt and Road got shut down and everything moved south to Ka

I don’t mean favoritism towards specific companies; I mean suppressing opinions that are inconvenient to companies. For example, blatant anti-Chinese xenophobia or hate speech towards economically disadvantaged seem to be welcome here, but

I’d say the real problem is not the technical insecurity - that’s a result. The real problem is in the last paragraph: the fact that banks are incentivized to use insecure mechanisms by being able to shed any responsibility simply by denyi

Logging is a good example of how the opposite to what you say tends to be true. Have you ever wondered why Windows logs are so useless? It’s not windows-specific; when you look at journald you’ll see plenty of structured junk; the actuall

So what makes you assume it was “homeless and junkies” who mugged them, and not some Christian republican human trash? (“Human trash” as a counterpoint to your “junkie” slur; also note I’m not really interested in _your_ response, I already

HN is a publicity tool for YC, so they are suppressing topics that are politically inconvenient to their business partners.

But it just so happens you never have problems with racism or other hate speech, only with people who point it out. I wonder why.

>The Russians themselves. Ah. Now I suspect I know what you're talking about: the terror campaign. Essentially what Russia did in Syria - they don't stand a chance against a proper army, but they definitely can commit genocid

Realistically, how much can you make at Amazon pretending to work before they figure out and fire you? Because, honestly, once you realize it’s ethical to do so, Amazon being a bad actor on purpose…

I’m not sure about the “plenty of equipment”. Case in point - over the past six months there have been _ten_ Russian plane crashes caused by malfunctions. Even though they almost don’t use their aviation because of lack of air superiority

> The veterans who died for the continental US beg to differ. Only if they skipped their history classes - dying for the empire is a standard part of being a colony.

One way to fix the problem would be to somehow feed Copilot a corpora of closed source code. This would either force Microsoft to add necessary copyright protections, or - which is imho more likely - would prove that those protections are

No idea about 787, but usually there’s a bunch of fuses in the cockpit (eg https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/fuse-panel-airliner-18627188... ), and they are made easily accessible for a reason.

Yukon is a territory. Here, the "territory" is just a pretty name for a colony. You can't vote, US constitution doesn't quite apply, you're getting peanuts from federal aid, and when there's a humanitarian ca

I’m not sure if using nukes would get NATO directly involved. First, it would be counterproductive wrt Putin’s goal above. Second, it could provoke strikes against NATO - Russia stands no chance militarily, but they can still kill civilia

Puertoricans are American citizens by name only - they can’t vote, for example. It’s a colony, and US treats it as such - it doesn’t enjoy the privileges of actual US territory. If you want to help, becoming a proper, independent country c

>How spent are the Russian forces? They haven't even applied 15% of their full forces to this operation This is in stark contrast to what analysts are saying, which is that Russia already _lost_ about half of its military. Visually

I know, because it wouldn’t make any sense for them to do it - there aren’t any specific individuals they could target to make any difference to them - and they don’t have the capacity to. Comparing Russian army to American is just silly,

What you’re saying is pure fantasy. Russia is hitting whatever they can, not any specific targets. Generally speaking US, and now Ukraine, have precision guided weapons available. Russia doesn’t, because they lack technology.

Those attacks are pointless from military point of view. Their objective is to spread terror among civilians, since orcs can’t effectively fight against proper army.

Putin had a whole bunch of opportunities to withdraw and minimize his losses, and didn’t take any of them. At the same time it’s been obvious for some time now that there’s no way he can win. One theory that explains it is that his objecti

This is very much a standard damage control. Notice how the drone completely ignored actual problems and instead derailed the whole thread with fake ones and broken analogies.
