AWS skills are in quite strong demand, so it totally pays off to know the platform and have some hands-on experience if you work in the related area.

That's a nice theory, but it doesn't work like that in most EU countries where banks are reluctant to give you a loan even for the 2nd property, let alone for tens of it unless you have collaterals to cover the cost.


Of course. Both desktop and mobile version as well with uBlock Origin. Don't have any issues so far except Google Meet not being able to blur the background on the video calls, but I can live with that.


Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment actions against Ukraine. So in my book, they are also responsible.


> Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment actions against Ukraine

They do. Now, will installing malware on their computers make them change their mind and support Ukraine instead?


I don't advocate or support such malware instalation. Just saying that "Russian citizens have nothing to do with this war" is false. There are better ways to express your support for Ukraine, for example, make malware targeting only military or govermental institutions that are directly involved.


This sort of logic justifies terrorist's killing of civilians like 9/11. If they can quote your book, the US citizens voted the governments in that oppressed and bombed members of their religion.


kbart doesn't defend the malware creator. He only made a counterargument to the statement that Russians aren't responsible for their government.


Majority of average American citizens support their government's actions against Iraq/Syria/Libya/Vietnam/... . So in my book, they are also responsible.


It may be the case but no one knows for sure. There is no independent sociology in Russia and the state controlled one is a gear in propaganda machine. Also many Russians are afraid to speak what they think and when asked just repeat what they heard on TV even if they don't agree.


> Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment[sic] actions

That is a pretty bold claim to be made without any supporting evidence.


yes, but the majority of russian citizens don't install node modules. This is hitting a demographics where you have the least possible support for war and regime (which is also not small, but maybe, hopefully, not a majority)


It was proven over and over again, that the more you give to Russia, the more they will take next time. We have to stop them now or never. War is already on going between Russia and the west (Putin himself and his chief of spies already said, that they deem sanctions akin declaration of war), hiding from this fact won't help.


Why Telegram? I see Ukrainians use it a lot in this conflict,but I would really not trust it to be secure against such powerful adversary as Russia. Signal is much better bet under these circumstances.


I wonder, what happens with all that captured equipment? I see a lot of videos of seemingly undamaged anti-air systems, artillery, tanks.. can Ukrainians readily use them or there are some locks etc. that prohibits it?


I work at the big fintech with a large footprint in Eastern Europe. We have been ramping up our cyberdefence capabilities intensively for over a week now based on various public and non-public advisories. As far as I see from my extended network, we are definetly not alone doing that.


I guess I was thinking every NATO country and the whole of the EU should be boosting its security posture.


For a week? You should have been preparing for years. Seriously.


Propaganda aside - yes.


Many countries in Europe do not have geographical barriers, so do you say they don't have a right to exist?


I think his (perfectly reasonable) point is that, in the long run, a natural border might make it easier to establish and maintain a legal border, and will likely favour internal cohesion by forcing connections to go certain ways.

Obviously it is not a prerequisite for statehood, which is a complex construct that goes beyond territorial claims (since Woodrow Wilson at the very least, in legal terms).


Where did I say anything about any state entity's "right to exist?"
