ueah bur his reason was that allowing the attack would have triggered a russian response with even more deaths. musk thought the response would be nuclear and then ww3 but most likely would have been some rocket attack in a cafe, etc. like few days ago.
avoiding escalation seems like a sensible thing at this point as it’s clear neither side can easily win.
>Ukraine did want to press forward last year, before the fortifications were built. It lacked the necessary weapons, and Elon Musk chose to cut Ukraine off from communications. That move likely extended the war. Because Musk’s decision was based on his internalization of Russian propaganda about nuclear war, and was accompanied by his repetition of that propaganda, he made a nuclear war more likely. If powerful men convey the message that just talking about nuclear war is enough to win conventional wars, then we will have more countries with nuclear weapons and more conventional wars that can escalate into nuclear ones. Ukraine has been resistant to this line of Russian fearmongering, fortunately for us all.
Maybe I missed it, but where in this essay does this professor explain what, exactly, the national interest is for the United States in enabling this war to continue?
Pulling out was the correct decision which both of these sides should not benefit from increased escalation rather than the continuation of war which should not have escalated to invasion in the first place.
this is about the ad business not gmail etc. monopolies are not a good thing that’s why we have these laws in the first place. monopolies prevent innovation for example. in the ads case monopoly means 1 company decides what ads are good and what ads are not good which affects society
the world holds its breath. what will the US do? let USD crash and take global economy down? or siphon a bit of wealth from everyone and keep things running for a little longer.
obviously they'll chose option 2, as always, but it needs to appear as if this was done only as last resort, after careful consideration.
how is that a replica? it's just another book with the same title? the chosen title "Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" is so dull that I'm not surprised it was generated by the AI as well, probably not even the latest tech for that. I'd expect ChatGPT to come up with a better title
I bet it was Satoshi who put this in MacOS. it would make sense if Satoshi was the kind of person to hide in plain sight and leave small traces to find him/her.
stabbing is quite common in some big european cities
London is the European (well, kind of) city that most people cite as being bad for knife crime. It's still rare enough that a stabbing will make the national news though.
For a basic comparison, in 2022 there were 710 murders in the UK. 282 were stabbings. In the US there were 26,031 murders (a little more than 20,000 using guns), which is 36 times more, while the US has a population that's only 5 times that of the UK.
Yes, if you mean how much profit does the farmer make I think you are spot on.
Pricing fluctuates with the season, variety but from the data I've seen a farmer in the US might sell to the distributor at $2/kg, but after paying all their costs (packaging, labour, energy, supplies, depreciation) the pre-tax profit might be around $0.16/kg - so 8%, and that's probably a pretty good year! It's a low margin, high volume kind of business.
makes no difference to me if it's china or my own government or my government's boss (the US). I suffer even more if it's my own government: questionable lock downs (see UK scandal on telegraph), tax money goes to feed the war in Ukraine, etc. All these are propped by domestic propaganda.
