>In the United States, individual bank accounts are insured by the government to $250k per account.

>The general assumption is that it would require the US government to collapse for your checking account to vanish, in which case you'd probably have larger problems to worry about.

See USSR-Russia transition in 1990-1992 for example.

Accounts didn't vanish, but all people's money where used to cover the deficit

I kind of missed the point when they've decided not to make 27" I guess.

My mother is still using my old iMac 2013 (the sceen is literally seprated from the body and the damp thing has an issue that sometimes make system task go 1000% of CPU)

The screen was always the selling point. Who even needs a 24" overpriced monitor?

Some people live to shit on Go since you can't really do "crazy cool shit" as someone I knew put it.

Apparently you can't be a senior dev unless you "just here to deliver"

> the Ukrainians are building drones near their front lines

Both sides 3d print parts near front lines. Just to be clear.

Especially when it comes to drops.

Imagine that 90% of the comments on HN are generated and it's very hard to spot it. And you read them.

Many if not all of us would be okay. Not to mention that many people have some experience of killing animals for food anyway.

Yandex cloud is not as big as AWS.

First of all AWS (even in us-*) most likely have non-US services\data. Yandex is mostly used by russian companies.

Plus, from my personal experience cloud is not as popular in Russia as in the west.

Big players like Sber, Ozon, T-Bank etc have their own datacenters and [may] use Yandex (or cloud.ru for example) for redundancy and\or non-critical services.

Small players use vps or something similar.

Big non-tech players (gas&oil for example) often rent redicated servers or space in a rack for their own hardware.

Well, many people buy books for home library and read them only at home.

So when you are buying a good hardcover you get something that will last and you only read at behind the desk, "as it should be done".

Paperback is only good if you are going to use it to start a fire later on.

That being said I'm coming from a place where (in my youth) paperbacks where only for technical literature and pulp fiction.

> There’s not much to algorithms: do this, then do that.

Yeah, and how many of drivers or software engineers can fix their car's engine? Just a few. Even though in priciple there's not much to it.

65% reported by the state agency (in Russia) means the real number is quite lower.
