Not this specific link/story, but some of the recent sanctions specifically target things Russia has been doing to get around prior sanctions. Such as sanctioning specific dark fleet vessels, sanctioning new entities that have been created to evade prior sanctions, and putting pressure/restrictions on banks to not just rubber stamp transfers to obvious shell companies.
Yeah, I think that is going to wait till after the election. I believe Biden is worried it would give more ammo to Trump. Hopefully we see it then. These self-imposed rules are really frustrating to watch.
Fuck yeah!
Thing was a rolling corpse, but they wanted to be 100% sure!
I just saw you added a link to what those air-to-ground munitions are: JSOW glide bombs. Russia has been using their glide bombs to good effect, I’m glad to see Ukraine is getting more† as well. They are one of the proven effective tools for this war, given the non-permissive air environment both countries find themselves in.
†They have had access to the small diameter glide bomb
Glad to see Ukraine is getting more and more support. These will also be easier to integrate into their systems since they are now operating F-16s, a platform that has already been integrated with this weapon system. So, we don’t need to figure out how to get them to play nice with soviet systems like the MiG-29 as was done for things like HARM anti-radiation missiles. IIRC, they ended up adding a tablet into the cockpit to interact with the HARMs, but even then they could only use a subset of the missile’s standard functions with it.
This isn’t about saving oneself from US access in exchange for Russian access. It is about already permitting US access, then ADDING Russian access on top. It doesn’t matter if the US feds are worse than Russian feds or vise versa, the worst possible choice is giving both entities access. Which is exactly what a US company does when they install a Russian AV across their network.
this risk is even greater for the person with windows installed on their personal computer
I’m fully onboard with Linux. And we can see from the usage charts others are taking notice of the benefits.
If you are a US based company, you already have to comply with US government legal requests. However, if you are a US company and using a Russian AV, now your AV will have to comply with Russian government requests. Russia is well known for asymmetric attacks, and giving that geopolitical adversary kernel level access to your entire corporate network is … unwise.
I’m surprised at how many companies still use a Russian AV. You are relying on this singular piece of software to keep your computer safe, and you pick the Russian one? Particularly when Windows Defender is right there. All you have to do is…not install the Russian AV.

why do we believe that 2030 nuclear plants will be competitive with 2060 solar panels or wind turbines
They have to be competitive with solar panels & grid-scale energy storage costs combined. You can’t leave off 90% of the cost and call it a win. Unless you are fine pairing solar panels with natural gas as we currently do; but that defeats much of the purpose of going carbon-free.
If 1990 nuclear plants aren’t competitive with 2024 solar panels
They aren’t competitive with 2024 solar panels paired with natural gas. But, again, is that really the world you are advocating for?
I know Russia is pushing hard this last week to try to take Kursk back. And it seems Ukraine is continuing to be tight lipped about the area. So I it is hard to confirm if that is where Russia decided to send the armored vehicles.
Russia’s lines in the area are extremely tenuous (the bridges over the river have been blown in the east/west section). So they absolutely have to keep up the pressure or risk an encirclement. Map from this recent video.
Wind and solar also have to be paired with either cheap natural gas or energy storage systems that are often monstrously expensive. Unfortunately these numbers are almost always left out when one discusses prices.
People do appreciate the lights staying on, after all.
Polar bears hunt humans for food. You cannot scare them away, you and your loved ones are prey. You will not win a fight against them, they are too big and too strong.
Unless you are fine being dinner, then yes, the polar bear is getting shot.
Glad to see more carbon-free power on-lining!
Yeah, I think someone in Saudi Arabia looked at the expenses for The Line‡, and then put out a number that sounds nice and would help with that massive outflow; but like you said, didn’t trifle with a more realistic target. Meanwhile, Russia is pumping with whatever hasn’t been hit by a drone yet, as they can use every ruble they can get; depressing the price.
‡I still can’t get over how, instead of building up an industry in Saudi Arabia to vary the economy, instead they went for a vanity mega-project to … attract tourists?
