There was no flame war in this thread. But there is clear evidence of abuse and harassment by a mod. I'm flagging dang's post in the hope that a real moderator will look at it.
What an embarrassment indeed. Hackernews deserves better moderation.
Apple's attempts to lock customers within it's ecosystem is anti-competitive behaviour that hurts consumers.
I guess we should stop trading with USA because of Iraq then.
America was murdering people in the Middle East more than a decade before ISIS was formed. How is what America did in Fallujah any less evil than what Russia did in Mariupol?
Microsoft kills another great open source project. This is sad. Don't rely on Microsoft.
I was about to say the same about you :)
Yes, Russians didn't manage to take Kiev or Kharkiv. But that doesn't change the fact that they are making progress in the east and the south. Wars have more than one front.
Two months ago Russian forces controlled a greater fraction of the territory that they do now.
Two months ago Russians were still trying to take Mariupol and Sievierodonetsk. The first one is now taken, and the second is almost taken.
most military experts agree that further Russian advances are extremely unlikely
Most military experts you are reading maybe. Russia has been slowly and steadily continuing its advance.
Doesn't change the fact that America spent the last 20 years on a mass-murder spree in the Middle East.
Fun fact: the rabidly anti-Nuclear part of German politics is the Green party. Who are also the most pro-American and pro-War faction these days. It makes 0 sense.
How does losing territory put Ukraine in a strong position in the negotiating table? Longer this war lasts, more territory Ukraine will lose.
The only place Ukraine is winning is in Western media.
No they are not. The invasion of Iraq, the intervention of Syria, the destabilization of the Middle East are all things Europe strongly objects to.
I use both GitHub and Gitlab for contributing to various open source projects. In my experience Gitlab is far superior. Github is too sluggish and buggy compared to Gitlab.
10% sounds too low. Most of what is on Twitter is spam.
I prefer Firefox.
Ukraine is not winning right now. Unless your definition of winning is "slowly losing territory". Check the map: https://liveuamap.com/
I question the sanity of our politicians that think putting German money into F35 is a good idea.
Intel is subservient to American government. I don't want German taxpayer money going into an entity that is subservient to the American government.
For example, America has a habit of forcing American companies to push American foreign policy. For example: Google dropping Huawei.
Hardly
America spent 20 years on a mass-murder spree in the Middle East, and we ended up having to take care of millions of refugees as a result.
America is not a friend to Europe. We have no business joining America in a struggle against Russia.
Ukraine can't win.
EU and Russia are practially neighbours. Our interest is in peace and trade, not war.
Companies like Intel don't transfer knowledge. In fact, they often suck local talent out.
Increasing trade with Russia is the most effective way to avoid a war. When goods and services don't cross borders, armies will.
If you want to buy a laptop/server than you pretty much have to choose between Intel and AMD. Thankfully, the world is slowly changing.
Nord Stream 2 was opposed by Americans who want to sell overpriced LNG to Europe.
It was also opposed by Eastern Europeaners such as Tusk who (understandibly) dislike Russia.
This made me laugh.
Isis was a direct consequence of American invasion of Iraq. You can't do what America did in Fallujah and not expect some kind of blowback.
Local investment is good. Subsidies to American companies is not.
The world doesn't revolve around "America vs Russia". There are lots of other things going on.
And if you are looking for a mass murderer, is there a bigger mass murderer than USA after 20 years of mass murder in the Middle East?
That fab won't make any sense without Intel's suppy chain.
Competing with Intel is out of the question for any local chip company.
Why? Intell lost the mobile, and is currently losing desktop/server. RISC-V is more promising each passing day. If India can do this, why can't Europe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31243674
