Wondering how this will affect development of e.g. OpenCV - seems lots of contributors are from Russia and/or Intel employees. Moving the whole team abroad probably is hard make and even understandably not everyone wanna leave past life behind and setup new roots somewhere else. Also not sure about Open3d or Realsense where are they mostly developed.

> Pre-WWII Germans were very unhappy about Danzig.

Good point but I think 'unhappy' is understatement. Germany did ultimatum to Poland that they want to have a land corridor to Danzig. Poland said no and Germany invaded Poland later on. So there is a lot of similarity in current situation in a way that current Russia == old Germany

> What a load of bullshit. The OUN which committed literal genocide[0] during WW2 is now openly celebrated. Stepan Bandera, the leader of the OUN was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.

Where is it being celebrated? According to wiki on Stepan Bandera [1]: "In January 2011, the award was officially annulled.[20] A proposal to confer the award on Bandera was rejected by the Ukrainian parliament in August 2019.[21]".

Also keep in mind it even though Bandera was was leader of OUN he was arrested by gestapo in 1941 and was in concentration camp between 1942-1944. Also from wikipedia: "According to Yaroslav Hrytsak, Bandera was not completely aware of events in Ukraine during his internment from the summer of 1941 and had serious differences of opinion with Mykola Lebed, the OUN-B leader who remained in Ukraine and who was one of the chief architects of the massacres of Poles"

I don't think ukrainians also deny massacres of Poles in volhynia - the dispute was if it can be recognized as genocide. On the other hand Poles claims genocide about Katyn massacre [2] by Russsia that Russian denies and try to downplay. The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD.

Edit: Also keep in mind Poles don't keep any grudge to Ukrainians for massacre in Volhyn - something that happened 80 years ago. They are happily helping a lot currently 1.5m ukraininans who were running away from the war. Also no Poles even think about taking back Lviv just because a long time ago it was a Polish city.

That's true. Even more obvious aggression - Russia invaded Finland few weeks later on 30 November, 1939 even though Finland was a neutral country and to these days trying to be neutral country (is not part of NATO)

I'm iOS dev and few limitation:

1) Biggest one Lidar is only on iPhones Pro in contrast to TrueDepth that after iPhone X landed in all iPhone devices

2) Lidar has very low resolution

I wish the added Lidar to all iPhones + combined this with TrueDepth (both in front and back of iphone) - true depth has better resolution but is slower (only 30fps + higher latency) and only works best for distance < 1 meter

I agree, using a world "willing" is overstretch - it's more many of them don't have a choice. Competition is huge, most cannot simply move to live and work abroad. There was a recent movement of chinese millennials giving up the rat race to "lie flat". My chinese friend says 996 is unfortunately normal there and she wish she could live somewhere else without. For me this 996 is just modern type of slavery.

You have 24 hours every day. with 996 you:

- spend 8h sleeping,

- 12h working,

- at least 1h commuting both ways

that leave you only 3h left that you spend probably to eat, take shower, do grovery. Not much space for anything else.

I think I would prefer a prison life in some scandinavian country - at least you get a lot of free time to read all the books on your reading list.

I wish there support for wired usb, e.g. I have laptop and surface go connected via usb-c. Not only should be faster but more reliable in case one end point connect to wifi ac and another to wifi n on the same router.

that would be quite a risky speculation. if you check historical price of rubble over 10 years it was always loosing value [1]

Worth to read the article rather just the headline. Few mentions in the article

1) $20B is not the cost right now but expected to be: "the daily cost of war for Russia is “likely to exceed $20 billion” as the invasion scales.

2) Article mentions also lost of $2.7B from GDP because those killed russian soldier won't be veteran in the future and won't work in private sector etc and won't bring any money to russia economy in the future.

3) Article also mentions other supplies: ammunition, fuel, etc. - they are using a lot of rockets and those are not cheap to build and in comparison to tanks rockets are just 'disposable' products.
