My point is that all those things happen in Belarus as well, except even worse. The average salary in Poland is around $1500 usd. In Belarus, it’s 300. In Ukraine, it’s around 800. Belarus is not immune from brain drain, either. Those who can leave, do leave. So the author should consider the alternative to joining the EU before calling the relationship exploitive.

Are the non-EU states like Belarus and Ukraine really better off than CEE EU states? While the situation may not be ideal for the CEE EU states, the alternative doesn't seem great either.

How is integer factoring not the best-known possible example of a quantum speed-up? What was special about this recommender system problem?

I would focus on what you bring to the table. If you’re able to drive sales for this idea, or come up with a compelling marketing plan to drive user acquisition, then you should have no trouble finding someone to make the app for you.

The government is controlling how children spend their time. In the U.S., the government mandates a lot about how children spend their time. They need to go to school and they aren’t allowed to buy alcohol or tobacco. Children under 16 aren’t allowed to spend any time driving an automobile, etc.

Just because an authoritarian government made a decision doesn’t necessarily mean the decision was authoritarian.

In the U.S., it’s somehow become popular opinion that the government shouldn’t do anything. Without the ability to make coordinated decisions, the U.S. has predictably fallen behind on a wide variety of metrics (income equality, health care, education, mass transit, etc.)

You should reflect on why you view a government making a decision for the health of its citizens as a bad thing.

Couldn’t you use Zoom for that?

Discord is chat in a sense. But community forums are also a form of chat. You shouldn’t confuse a technical implementation (e.g. Discord or IRC) with the end product (e.g. fostering community discussion).

On Mac, you can pipe input into pbcopy to add it to your clipboard.

    cat file.txt | pbcopy

This adds the contents of file.txt to your clipboard.

I think Discord is then modern form of this. It’s really a great product.

One isn’t inherently better than the other, but if you spend time making a platform for birds, you probably want to enjoy looking at them rather than let them die.

Ford has a debt to equity ratio of 4.7.

Only in the short term. The additional food allows for additional bullies to survive, so now the bullies occupy their old stomping ground AND the bird feeder. And of course the new bullies need nesting sites that they’ll happily take from submissive birds.

I don’t think the size of the bird is particularly relevant as birds of the same size compete for the same nesting sites. The article gives the example of blue tits dominating willow and marsh tits by hoarding the bird feeder and kicking them out of their nesting sites. Both the willow and marsh tit are slightly bigger than the blue tit. It seems to me that your garden would also have this issue.
