The amount makes it sound like they just want to look like they did something without actually doing something

first thought I had was "they made it free to collect data since they don't own github or similar"

This. It's not fair to apply this rule that kinda says "state affiliated/funded = propaganda" to everyone except for USA media, that's some USA exceptionalism.

always failed to see how normalizing clickbaits is for the greater good. more like for better income, which I could understand

Less probable but it's quite trivial to make a browser extension or something of the sort for cheating (feeding moves to engine and showing suggestions)

Drama aside, no-one seriously thinks Hans can measure up to Magnus. The outcome of that match heavily favors Magnus, even players like Nepo, Caruana, Firouzja are underdogs.

It's very clear the OP implicit assumption is that the report is verified to be true.

any idea why they reimplemented react? to reduce bundle size?

You're just being racist, western Europe is very safe

I thought crypto was invented to prevent this kind of stuff ?

USA won't let Russia come near the Americas so that won't happen. France didn't care that Libya was a "sovereign" nation, neither did USA care about Iraq's sovereignty.

Unfortunately that's how the world works, rules are for the weak nations only. Superpowers don't really care.

Putin put a red line on Ukraine joining NATO (regardless weather he has the right to) and the west didn't care about his line drawing. So I guess in international relations, there are no lines? There's nobody to set them

The problem is you're arguing from an idealistic point of view. But in the real world might makes right. Doesn't matter what Ukraine wants if it doesn't have nukes to back it up.

So china banning western media is not censorship and if Russia bans all western media it's not censorship too. Or does it work only one way?

Not really surprised by the double standard but it's pretty obvious this time.

If it's western it's "news" and if it's non western it's "propaganda". This is the modern equivalent of Stalin's iron curtain

Not much different from banning all Russian media, now I can't check what the Russians say because I'm too dumb and prone to propaganda I guess. USA good, Russia bad that's all I need to know.

Peace for who? that's the question. No one denies it brought peace to the west.

The reason developing nations want a multipolar world is to have room to manoeuvre and develop themselves, to be able to bargain with multiple powers, there is not much bargain in a unipolar world, when the USA does not want you to get too big, or your interest conflicts with theirs you're fucked.

USA (and the west) has learned that colonialism with a foreign army does not work efficiently, so they colonize countries by choosing who gets elected or performing coups and putting people that serve that interests even on the detriment of their nation.

African nations make a good example for countries that are officially independent but have no sovereignty whatsoever.

It's a monopoly of power, what's worse is it thinks it's interests are what defines good and bad.

I wonder how you can believe that knowing all the coups organized by CIA, wars waged by US military everywhere in the world, countries US split in two or more ...etc. it was only safe for USA and its allies. Only difference is war is getting close to western Europe so it's felt more

Documents don't really matter in such situations. When a state believes it's in a survival fight, it doesn't care about international laws or anything, because nothing can be worse than it's death.

The US has been working on surrounding Russia with NATO states, putting bases and nuclear next to Russia, Russia tried to do the same in Cuba during the cold war but the US did not accept it and was ready to sink the Russian ships, Cuba was "free" to do that but that doesn't matter because the US beleived it's a threat. Now that Russia beleives it's strong enough to face the US on some small issues (the US is still much stronger but not as before) it no longer accepts to have NATO on it's border, especially in Ukraine because historically that's where Russians come from plus it would hurt their access to sea.

Anyways, that's how it looks like for me as a bystander.

Yeah they should've called them democracy promoters

Laravel is amazing until you need to do something non-trivial that does not follow the laravel way of doing things so you find yourself fighting the framework.

Everything is coupled to Eloquent for example, and while you can use another ORM, the whole ecosystem and 3rd party libraries need Eloquent, so you have to choose to either do things the Laravel way to take advantage of the community, or write everything on your own.

P.S: It's been 3 years since I used Laravel, not sure if things have changed.

people here consider israel an occupation power remnant from the past century, not a neighbour

I only use Chatbots to ask for a human because there's usually no other way to do it. They're like the new IE for me, only used to download other browsers.

Why stop at browsers, the OS is a dependency for your app too

What's the current definition of terrorism ?

the middle east agrees

will they be paid per delivery too and have some averages to uphold?

in Islam it's not an offering to God, and there are no rituals involved. It's attaching the goal of getting to heaven to any action. "I'm eating this food because it will help me worship God" so giving purpose to mindless tasks

probably because developers tend to be more interested in 3D than music

> The Hamburg police confirmed to The Post that it had searched the house of the Twitter user behind the @pauli_zoo handle early Wednesday to “gather evidence"

I wonder what kind of evidence they were looking for?

Thanks that's what I was looking for!
