Really impactful societal changes by technology do not seem to happen over night, usually there is rather strong hype curve after which it still takes time to conquer the markets and become the new norm.

This is complete buIIshit. Listening to what tеrrorіsts say is basically legalising tеrrоrism.
Those who want to hear what russia says only want to excuse themselves because they openly support tеrrorіsm. They want to support evіІ but since it is not accepted they try to find an excuse.

Kind of crazy how many Chevy EV BrightDrop vans I’ve seen the last couple of days, surely Amazon-related to handle the surge in holiday orders, but still wild to see as many as you’d see California Camrys (Teslas) on the road

Yes, russia is indeed rapidly rebuilding its missile arsenal. The problem is that the "solution" being offered — pausing the war & restoring economic ties with russia, giving it back most of frozen assets, lifting sanctions, rewarding for war crimes — will only accelerate that buildup.

Twelve years ago today, Ukrainians began the Revolution of Dignity. Our fight for freedom continues to this day.
And today, more than ever, we must remind the world: we will not accept capitulation — no matter who tries to force it on us.

My heart is bleeding. We deserve to have a peaceful life without genосіde, yet the world ignores russian tеrrоrism because they have nukes.
As if nukes are an excuse to ignore tеrrоrіsm. Nobody tells you to attасk russia. Defend Ukrainians in Ukraine, that is what humanity must stand for.

1/5 Russia's war on Ukraine is as black and white as it gets.
It is not morally complicated. It is one of the clearest cases of good vs evil in recent history.
Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine is the victim. No gray area. No equivalence.
Just a criminal invasion

Two photos of today haunt me: a civilian lying dead beside his car in the Donetsk region, and an elderly woman in Kherson next to her goats. Both killed — hunted — by russian drones. Both murders were deliberate.

Estonia lacks conservative political movement, self titled 'conservatives' are fascistic-populists and luckily we show opposite trend compared to some other european countries.

Saturday thought: You don't always have to engage with bad faith arguments. It wastes your time and weakens your critical thinking. Even if someone important wants to "flood the zone with _h_t" that doesn't obligate you to swim in it.

Thoughts after my first Waymo ride:
1. It drives smoother than ~80% of drivers I rode with
2. The “you know exactly what to expect” aspect (no driver who might or might chat me up, or be on the phone, or be a bad driver) is underrated
3. Waymo is the best ad for Jaguar
