Russian Supreme Court in 1993 when ruling that Yeltsin and the parliament should both resign and have new presidential and parliament elections. Yeltsin’s opposition agreed, Yeltsin said he’s the president and it’s democratic and legal that he decides everything and sent tanks.
Since the US was friendly with Yeltsin, this was considered business as usual.
Judges are not supposed to work for the majority. They are supposed to work for justice.
Justice in most cases means opposing political power (formal in this case).
Thus they should be selected in some way radically different from how political power is formed.
Sortition is one way, if you don’t want some entrenched faction reproducing itself. Would be better than US too. But still sortition from the pool of qualified people, that is, judges, and not just every random bloke who applies, of course.
There are both much safer (than Chernobyl or Fukushima or whatever) reactor models and fast-neutron reactors that can reduce the amount of spent fuel to be stored.
About reasonable and cost-effective alternatives - with bigger storage expenses and grid losses.
IMHO a good grid has at the same time a few nuclear stations (no, not those which will be inevitably shut down, but those which are being prolonged or replaced as the time passes), a huge amount of renewable sources, storage to alleviate spikes\falls of said renewable sources and backup coal stations.
And German grid is connected to a few others, so that they themselves have gotten rid of nuclear energy doesn’t matter much, with unified grids.
And we are shutting down — not building — … nuclear plants.
Morons. Managed to almost descend to his level. No, that’s not sportsmanship.
Hates - no. But giving off the impression of being weird is not that hard. I’m certain quite a few people would believe something like this about me purely due to being a sunlight-avoiding wimp bad with words (in verbal conversations).
So due process is a good thing. For each Andrew Tate there are a few dozens at least of people whom “the society” would eagerly accuse simply because of being asocial and weird. Like that folk psychology with red flags, manipulations and other shit. People practicing it can wound an autist. But I seriously doubt those would help them avoid a serial maniac.
Are any of his clients now in jail?
If it’s acceptable, then a wildcard ban of undetected protocols and the “bad” ones from among the detected is possible. China-style.
That is, everything is possible.
Also, it’s a misconception that a decentralized service cannot be banned. In fact it’s not hard at all
Yes, if banning protocols is acceptable for you.

They didn’t live too long. Parasites in garum, parasites in water, epidemics, wars.
The fact that harm from lead they even noticed is remarkable, considering how many other things there were to fear. A very subtle civilization.
Cast iron is, of course, the best. But cooking in that takes more time and energy.
The issue as seen from the outside is that
freakishly cult-like levels
are on all sides of this. Jules Verne’s description of Americans (that fist fight scene, I think it’s “Around the world in 80 days”, but I may be wrong) has aged well.
Guess it didn’t work out too well for them since they had their bank accounts frozen (possibly assets seized)
There’s that funny, but sad thing about laws and how not to break them - a lot of it in daily life depends on instinct, like “how not to make your Windows 98 installation hang”. And those instincts, the aesthetics of what you should and shouldn’t do, are very different between USA and Russia.
Fraud aside.
and then proceeded to speak ill of Russia (including they don’t speak English there)
LOL. What did they expect, “traditional values” are usually less demanding in terms of knowing foreign languages.
I mean, there was some farmer guy on YouTube who actually managed to move to Russia, create a business and all, who also learned Russian on a good level, but that fact alone (learning a new language on a fluent level being an adult) shows him to be a very unusual person. And I don’t remember any “traditional values” being among his reasons.
to escape the “far leftist” and “lgbtq ideology” here in Canada
The stronger your country and civilization group are, the harder it is to see past internal discourse towards outside reality.
So I’m not surprised that Americans and Europeans might often see their daily news as the absolute truth and be hostile to people trying to tell them otherwise. As with, for example, demonized Iran (not that theocracy is good, it’s just that in foreign policy it’s a better country that Russia, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, China, …).
For such people the internal discourse is that Russia is somehow related to their political views. While in reality it’s anything but “traditional” in the American sense.
He’ll have lots of competition here. Won’t be anything as big.
It’s Russia, the whole idea of a howto guide to dealing with bureaucracy that works is, ahem, contradictory to its essence.
Most of them are going to give up before getting here. Sadly. It would be interesting to watch.
I say that as a Russian (EDIT: citizen), let them do it. The squeal they’ll raise when they realize what they’ve gotten into is going to make life here interesting in a good way for some time.
What it definitely does is prevent you from verifying vote results and specific votes. While people selling votes will (in our day) just make a photo and send it to their buyer.
If by “other things” you mean violence against those voting “wrong” - yes, that’s a problem. When you invent a way to have a verified anonymous vote, let me know.
My comment is a specific application, and your comment is “no u wrong”.
To allow easier falsifications.
Ye-es, but nobody in the West said so. Maybe if in that one moment things went differently, Russia would be at least a very flawed democracy today.
