Its not only news service. Few services are left under the Yandex INTL. What are the services - ... you gotta know... they haven't published a proper disclosure, only couple of press-releases, which is alarming for a still part-public traded co.
I remember some sources that they've sold ALL their media services, and the INTL is only left with services like taxi and delivery.
dunno, there is the one-time toggle in the notification area for 100% in my pixel and there is a toggle to turn off these adaptive features in settings.
It is a feature you can easily turn off on iPhones too, it isn't hidden or obscured under bajillion menus at all. The grandparent comment just didn't bother looking for it.
Settings > Battery > Battery Health and Charging. Set "Optimize Battery Charging" toggle to off, and the adaptive charging is gone.
>just an identification of these as AA missiles would have been enough to kill the story
Oh, you don't know the story how Ukraine constantly blames Russia for striking civilians by repurposed S-300 missiles!
I bet this is the reason they are still in denial about the Poland incident. Because it breaks the legend and points to the real cause: issues with the missiles they launched. Meanwhile there is a constant flow of videos where Ukraine's S-300 missiles fly into land.
You will be surprised how many times in the news about those missiles they were specifically called Russian-made/produced.
Another funny fact that most likely it's USSR-made missile. I don't think Ukraine bought any arms from Russia, so everything they have is USSR-made they were an integral part of.
Unrelated, but inspired. A lot of people can't get food and other goods and services even though it's close to them or possible to provide them right now. And it works as intended and a few think that something went wrong.
It's rather the opposite: if there were no such people, it would be the scariest thing to people. Because how can communism go? Wrong answers only.
I think it’s less about strictly better talent and more about trust and familiarity. Musk trusts Tesla software engineers to tell him what is good, what is better than Tesla, and what is concerning.
I’m not a software engineer (data scientist) and I’ve only managed up to 15 people, but if a friend who worked in a factory asks me to review a CTO of a team of 50, I feel confident I can say “Asking people to write their own unit tests isn’t abuse of power” and “Asking people to be behind their desk at 9 am or risk pay cut would not fly anywhere else” — things that he might not have the context to know.
Sure, there might be a new paradigm that I’m not familiar with where devs don’t write unit tests, but I’m fairly confident if I hear about that, I can ask questions and see why it’s more efficient.
A really good (reverse) example of that is James Douma. Several Tesla commentators rely on him to comment on Tesla’s AI announcements. He doesn’t work at Tesla and confesses that he might not be able to lead the AI team there, but he’s personable, clear, and familiar enough with ML to offer some judgment on why things are done in a certain way. He’s usually very positive but he could easily be asked which teams don’t seem to be executing as well, and what questions to prod them.
The value of dropbox filesystem integration is huge (not a shill for DB). You can grep for stuff, do ordinary search, supply the files to any app that presents a file dialogue, etc.
Google drive files live in their own hermetic world. There is a desktop client but it doesn't reliably sync to the local filesystem; when it does most of the files aren't actually searchable so you have to do two searches if the file you want might be on google drive. So stupid.
Different accounts are hermitically walled off as opposed to the "different parts of the filesystem" way you can handle locally.
And even if you can somehow do everything inside the google drive, well stuff shared with you can't be part of your file organization like it could with dropbox or, you know, the filesystem. If someone shares a directory with you google drive still won't let you make it a favorite much less move it in with the rest of your files. No, it just keeps falling lower and lower in "shared with me" as other stuff is shared with you. Pathetic.
Web browsers are slow, filesystem browsers are fast and you can index them with programs like everything or egrep? Familiarity?
I detest using web browsers to manage files honestly. I have yet to see it done well, there's usually a notable delay to descend into a subfolder. It's an awful experience really.
So should Russia be obliged to pay for transit and provide gas to Ukraine?
Why wouldn't Ukraine pursue gas supplies from other sources? It had at least 8 years for that, but all the time was spent on opposing NS2.
"that was unwise" is a simplification, not a proper explanation. Russia is a cheap resource supplier, so it was beneficial for European countries to leverage it for their economy to be more competitive with US at least.
Saudi Arabia has its own bunch of issues with democracy (there is none, imagine), human rights (surprise), a war with neighbouring Yemen (sounds familiar?), but for some magical reason no one cares and alienates Saudi Arabia, and everyone is very forgetful and blind about their issues and doesn't interfere.
The key difference is that Saudi Arabia has not acquired new territory for itself. In the post-colonial era, there are very strong norms against countries annexing parts of each other, with Russia's actions in Ukraine being pretty much the first to happen since the 60s. If the Saudis had initiated the war in Yemen by pointing to some old border dispute and directly annexing the port of Aden, people would be much more angry with them.
For comparison, consider Iraq's attempt to annex Kuwait in the 90s. The world absolutely considered it a five-alarm fire, with the West immediately planning for war and even China and the Soviet Union authorizing a retaliatory blockade. Most people genuinely and strongly feel that the return of territorial conquest as a common practice would be a disaster for the world.
