Fair. Crypto is not just ftx/investment tho. It’s also a mean to transfer wealth outside of your country. It might be risky but any option is better than none

I don’t understand your point. Are you implying that people don’t have access to western finance because they are not sophisticated enough? If you don’t luck into being born with good citizenship lots of things you might take for granted are inaccessible. It has nothing to do with level of sophistication

People not privileged enough to have access to western banking

I didn't intend to put a blame of invasion on a single soldier. But I do put blame on a soldier, that he came to another country to kill people there for no good reason. There is a choice

This is quite sad that your reasons for lack of support of the wars are that you (an invader) had a bad time there, not that you were part of the force destabilising and destroying another country

> The only meaningful further press coverage of Russian politics must be about regime change

You are mistaking journalism for propaganda if that's your opinion

> Nobody cares about social responsibility

I'm not gonna argue whether people must care about it or not. But saying that nobody does is simply not true and sounds like an attempt to excuse yourself. I know quite a lot of people who made career decisions which did not maximise their profit in favour of not doing things your conscience will torment you about.

The scale of corruption in US or EU is not comparable to communist/ex-communist countries

There are electrical buses already that are being used quite extensively, e.g. Moscow has a fleet of electric buses

This is ridiculously privileged pov to have

They are definitely not doing identification (1:whole_database) for payment, that would be ridiculous.

I'm sure they are matching against very small subset. Most likely they are getting data from mobile phone operators on who's currently around the entrance

No need to generalise based on your limited experience if you are unfamiliar with situation in Belarus

> and the compiler doesn't even warn you that size is bigger than x

That's not true tho, compiler with reasonable flags set will definitely warn you and if you really don't like this kind of code you can force compiler to issue an error instead

I strongly disagree with that idea. Voters must know exactly how much they are paying for something for them to care about efficiency of government spendings. What you are proposing is how things currently work in Russia and trust me you don't want that

It's impossible to have HN-like discussions if platform targets general population

No, I don't want any foreign army in the Belarus obviously. My point is that Lukashenko already lost support of majority of Belorussians, so making life worse for common people does nothing except it produces unnecessary misery.

I agree that taking down the government by force is probably the only option left now for them. Belorussians are people who already were unfortunate enough to be born in post soviet dictatorship, yet a lot of overly privileged people in USA and EU have this sentiment that being ruled by Luka is fault of the people, completely ignoring the circumstances like Belarus being in the sphere of influence of Russia.

I mean all westerners have to do to shape the government is to attend elections, but it's not the same in dictatorships. The expectation that young people have to die fighting the regime instead of enjoying their youth like people in the West is very unfair.

I mean seize illegally earned money and/or forbid them and their families spending those money in the EU and other friendly jurisdictions. EU as a whole should have enough weight to make it happen if enough political will is present.

Then go after their offshores. Then start targeting their ties inside russian elite

Lukashenko already has much less than 50% support of the ppl and he has lost his last elections. But he holds the power by force. What do you want Belorussians to do, go and die fighting the police?

Sanction the elite

Target the elite instead of the people

Agree. Strongly dislike this American sentiment of self victimisation. If you are born in USA you are not poor. If you are born in USA and work in tech, you are not poor even relative to other Americans. I mean most of the world (including me) dream of having an opportunity to migrate to USA, because living there is enormous privilege to have

No company, but the government should be able to

Traditional manufactures software sucks in every way possible

Did you buy it via official reseller? Any reasonable country should have laws in place that will force the company to refund you for the defective goods. In that case Apple' policies shouldn't matter

So you are ok with your broker restricting your investment options, because one of hedge funds they sell your order flow to made a bunch of dumb decisions which put the whole market into very fragile position?

You are right that a big part of retail will be left with enormous losses. But that doesn't in any way excuses brokers who manipulate price letting only SELL orders in

They did not exit and even if they did somehow you can't know that.

This makes sense on a personal level, but it highlights the hypocrisy of AWS decision

What does decent language requirement have to do with free speech?
