I find this very surprising.
The first sentence of the article states that about 60% of men are single, and only about 30% of women. There's about equal men and women, so that would mean that 30% of women are dating each other, or are in relationships with multiple men? That's discounting men dating men. I find that surprising.
There's a big difference between a startup not managing and advertisers pushing billions of funding into creating this kind of thing. I very much agree with the author on this point.
The pipelines were useless to the russian goverment beforehand since they weren't sending any gas through it. It doesn't matter what the protesters wanted, Russia wasn't sending any gas. So there was never an "alternative".
But blowing them up means that people get worried again. The worries about having enough gas to last the winter increases. Russia wants a fearful Europe, not a determined one. This plays right into their hands, and it doesn't really matter whether people know it was them.
They are waging a proxy war with NATO through the Ukraine. And the fact that they are also threatening nuclear weapons just confirms their strategy in regards to Europe. They want a Europe that is afraid of Russia.
It scares the German population, because every day here the news was about "are we going to make it through the winter". 50% of all houses are heated with Gas. The fact that no gas was flowing through doesn't really matter and likely wasn't going to for a while anyway still worries everyone.
It will make the pro-Russian arguments sound better, if people are scared.
Is anyone really surprised? I am not. Google has such a bad relationship to data privacy, they don't see the problem. Getting a warrant is so easy in the US right now, so there is very little reason to disrespect your customers privacy. They just don't see the problem.
Lots of reasons. It was at the time the least authoritarian regime. The alternatives are Saudi-Arabia, where as I understand the gas is harvested with the help of human rights violations, and other nearby suppliers like Norway were already and still are at capacity.
At the same time, gas is a relatively enviromentally safe, when compared to others, and since the relations to Russia were mostly friendly, the slight problems in the regime were ignored.
Now germany is reliant on them, and that was a mistake they are realizing. But if germany stops accepting gas today, the germans will freeze in the winter when the gas runs out, so its a complicated situation.
> "Lukashenko denied Kyiv's allegations that Russian troops were attacking Ukraine from Belarus' territory, Belarusian state news agency Belta reported."
We already know that's false, so I guess that means he is definitely attacking the Ukraine.
Don't you have a big problem with interference? I wouldn't trust a Lidar/radar based vision if there were 30 other cars waiting at an intersection. Yes, you can use multiple bands etc, but that's the advantage of using more passive sensors such as cameras.
They work without synchronisation to the cars driving next to you.
Does it really matter wether Reddit makes backups? If it is interesting enough to save, it will be reposted or copied or whatever. If it isn't it will get lost in the mass of other "interesting" things.
I'm creating a video game. I am being way to ambitious, and I am sure to fail or give up along the way, but honestly working on it has been so much fun, that I don't really care. Programming it and seeing progress, as well as the occasional funny bug has made the entire progress so far really fun and motivating.
I've also immersed myself in game dev blogs and podcasts and similar, which is giving me new things to discover and learn about, so I no longer have that problem of "what am I going to watch on netflix tonight", since its a new world for me to discover. It's opened up the things I watch because I have never immersed myself in things like what makes a game engaging or similar, so its all new and interesting to me.
There's a chance I'll get tired of it eventually, but right now I don't see it happening. I'm not worried about not finishing because I've had fun along the way. It was worth it in that sense already.
I worked on my first app for a year before getting a developer license and uploading it to the app store. I had no trouble installing it on my device. You missed something.
