Hm I was hoping this would be about Obsidian-based Wikis.

I do hope watchmakers start to integrate "computational" (instead of temporal) complications into their watches, like a mechanical turing machine or other tiny mechanical computers or calculators which I believe have never been constructed this small.
Inspiration:
Wooden Turing Machine: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vo8izCKHiF0
Curta Calculator: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZDn_DDsBWws
Zuse Z1 Computer: https://youtu.be/R5XnuT6ZLKg?t=283
Maybe also analog ones!: https://youtube.com/watch?v=s1i-dnAH9Y4
It feels like a lot of complications the watchmakers are building now are stuck in the early 20th century. Sure, perpetual calendars will always be useful, but what about:
* pomodoro focus timers * multiple TZ support - like GMT watches but more than one additional TZ shown at once * timers * alarms

A little reminder of what Putin has been up to in the last few years.
- Annexation of Crimea (2014)
- MH17 Downing (2014)
- Intervention in Syria
- 2016 U.S. Election Interference
- Skripal Poisoning (2018)
- Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws
- Navalny Poisoning (2020)
- Wagner Group Activities
- Invasion of Ukraine (2022)
- Killing of Yevgeny Prigozhin (2023)
- Killing of Alexei Navalny (2024)
What is necessary for US and European Laws, to specify any type of contact, endorsement, indulgence even, of such a regime, is an intolerable criminal offense?
Edit: Its difficult to keep track...
- Killing of Alexander Litvinenko
- 1999 Russian Apartment Bombings
- September 2022 — Ravil Maganov's fatal fall from a hospital window. He was chairman of Russian oil giant Lukoil. Lukoil was the first major Russian company to call for an end to the war in Ukraine
- July 2009 — Natalya Estemirova found dead in a ditch
- October 2006 — Anna Politkovskaya murdered in an elevator
- April 2003 — Sergei Yushenkov murder was never solved. Yushenkov was one of the harshest critics of the Chechen war and the KGB's successor organization, the FSB.
In addition to Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine were also invaded in 2014, and a lot of the area that was invaded then is still occupied today.
appplemac commented on Germany explores 4-day workweek amid labor shortage dw.com/en/germany-tests-f... · Posted by u/jerryjerryjerry
Instead of a 4-day workweek how about setting reasonable hiring standards so that hundreds of thousands of people out of work, especially non-native German speakers, have a chance of getting past the job application screen.
Most jobs, even in tech, in DE currently require good knowledge of German, and "good" is being interpreted as near-native.
Indeed. And if Starlink is used in guidance for offensive drone operations, Russia is going to view those satellites as legitimate military targets. I’m not convinced the people criticizing SpaceX’s decision to not do that (for free) have thought this all the way through.
Just to clarify that the Starlink service isn’t being provided for free — many of volunteers (and not just them) are paying for subscriptions with their credit cards. [1]
I’m sure there are additional costs for Starlink operations in Ukraine vs other countries, such as extra measures against jamming etc so the operation is less profitable in Ukraine than elsewhere.
And from what I understand there are some terminals that work without a subscription (although I haven’t seen any info about them specifically).
But it’s not free for many users in Ukraine.

What is the privacy like ?
Can other governments query your status in Estonia and about your Estonian company ?
There is an open company registry, it’s possible to see the companies a person owns in Estonia, and how much revenue those companies have generated in the past quarter through rik.ee. Doesn’t require registration to search.
