Give Ukraine time to build up it's defenses against Russian invasion.... Is that bad?

Russia is the aggressor here. It is quite simple.

All the eastern European countries wanted to join NATO because they are afraid of Russian invasion. Turns out they were right.

"Angela Merkel is on record saying that the negotiated Minsk peace agreement was a complete sham."

No she didn't. That is Russian propaganda. Show me the Zeit article. All your sources are astroturfed Russian propaganda.

Your globalresearch.ca link gives you away. Anyone doubting it can go to the globalresearch front page and draw their own conclusions. Its a conspiracy theory site.

I list a few articles to give a flavor of globalresearch's conspiracy bent:

The “Great Zero Carbon” Conspiracy and the WEF’s “Great Reset”

Towards a Failed State under Kiev Nazi Regime

The Asinine Insanity of the ‘Climate Change’/C02 Hoax:

So.... where's the decisive NATO strike? They won't even supply adequate weapons to Ukraine.

No need to click on the link then.

There are decent proxies, eg divorce rate, which should provide good clues about the effects of lock downs. Another one would be domestic violence arrests and convictions. You can probably think of more. I would like to see someone try to do an honest look at this.

The thing is you aren't building spice racks at scale. Every program is handcrafted.

...Boeing....

Presumably you live in a place where it's safe to cycle. If so, I am envious.

Thanks. Saved me a click.

Using it in the first place?

:)

Cue the downvotes....

Pure noise is what you want then?

Not really hard to fix. They know the true is blender.org. Just display that.

But as policy they want to force companies to pay for clicks to their own brands.

Maybe the non latte neighbourhoods need streetlights. But we could get rid of them in the latte neighbourhoods.

Flashlights? Reflectors? We don't need streetlights illuminating empty roads all night.

Ok... What car brand has the least bad UI these days?

I have been putting off getting a new car for about a year.

Good people always have other options. That's something employers often forget.

What's entertaining about a 5000 word muffin recipe?

Thats what happens. And all the good workers leave the organization. Leaving the deadbeats.

You're trolling. But I'll humour you for a minute.

Because they are employees. if enough employees of any organisation stop working, the organisation shuts down.

And whether you like them or not, they provide a feedback loop. Otherwise bad organisations whither away as good workers leave and bad workers stay.

Nobody is claiming that sailing ships will solve the environmental crisis.

But neither will minor improvements to Ro-Ro fuel efficiency.

Was thinking about this tonight. My biggest regret is doing an EE degree and becoming an engineer.

I coulda been a contender.

I coulda been somebody....

Twitter still makes all employees work at the office….

> The business cases are pretty obvious

??? What are they?

- bad code, with non obvious bugs? I would prefer the original slashdot/GitHub/blog post. Google used to do that.

- chat bots? The customer service will still be shit. Your problem will still not be solved. But I guess some call center staff can be fired. Customers will be very happy to never be able to speak to a human.

- Writing mediocre overlong content for google to place ads in? Just what the internet needs. It’s already day time tv.

Any more?

So Big Data isn’t dead. It’s just found it’s place in society….

He’s been triggered. He either didn’t read the article or doesn’t understand it.

The left destroy language.

Meanwhile, the right destroy democracy.

And now PG has been drawn into the puppet show.

The real problem is the structure of American democracy. Extremism is rewarded. Centrist politicians can’t win primaries, even though they would usually win the general election.

The whole point of offsets is to allow fossil fuel consumption to continue.

Couldn’t you have just got ChatGPT to write the post?

Anybody read any of Len Deighton’s work? Especially the early “Harry Palmer” novels?

I think they are spectacular.
