Leo Erken. Мать российского солдата, захваченного в плен чеченскими боевиками. Грозный. 1997 г. Кажется, что время остановилось. Женщина в надетом поверх платья армейском бушлате навсегда замерла в этом временном убежище. Жилая комната, лишенная уюта казенными двухъярусными кроватями, подходящее место для бесконечного ожидания. Скудные знаки времени: прическа, клетчатый баул в углу, коробка стирального порошка под кроватью никак не нарушают ее отчуждения от мира. Она ничего не замечает, в том числе и фотографа, и в этой позе, в скрещенных руках, и, особенно, во взгляде есть особая независимость. Независимость не надменная, а такая, которую замечаешь при встрече с людьми, чей опыт для тебя запредельный. Сложность и множественность чувств, которые отражаются на этом лице, и есть главное содержание фотографии, то, что делает ее свидетельством жизни души. В этом лице ровная, почти привычная скорбь, невыплаканная и не проговоренная, задавленная бесконечной надеждой. В этом лице напряжение скрытой решимости, такой, когда собственная жизнь уже не дорога.Женщина смотрит на что-то за рамками кадра, и кажется этот упорный взгляд направлен еще и в какое-то другое время. Подпись под фотографией говорит о том, кого она там видит.

What do you get when you mix white nationalism, online echo chambers, and global climate crisis?

@fribbledom

Depends *which* mile, as there's like a dozen of them, just as pounds, inches, ounces and gallons 😃In contrast, there's just one definition of kilometer.

#Recycling isn't as effective as you would think.
So what's the way? Read more: ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair/Rec

Reduce, reuse, repair, than recycle. Of course, recycling is better than throwing stuff away. But that is not the best solution.

@TauAs Very interesting! There are two other books on the same subject which I've read and strongly recommend:

* "The Logic of Planned Economy: The Seeds of the Collapse", Paweł H. Dembinski, Kevin Cook, 1991
* Николай Петрович Шмелёв (Nikolay Shmelyov) "Авансы и долги (Avansy i dolgi)" ("Credits and debts"), Новый мир (Novyi Mir) – 1987. - № 6. echelon.pl/nikolay-shmelyov-av

Optimizing things in the USSR
11 May 2016
As a data scientist, a big part of my job involves picking metrics to optimize and thinking about how to do things as efficiently as possible. With these types of questions on my mind, I recently discovered a totally fascinating book about about economic problems in the USSR and the team of data-driven economists and computer scientists who wanted to solve them. The book is called Red Plenty.

Fully sympathise, radio was always quite alien to me and I miss basic skills like soldering etc... yet I decided the best way to learn is to build a LoRa gateway 😂 Slowly, slowly getting there...

С этой недели в кинотеатрах можно будет увидеть фильм Андрея Кончаловского «Дорогие товарищи!» о расстреле мирной демонстрации в Новочеркасске в 1962 году, а также картину Алексея Учителя «Цой», против которой высказывалась семья Виктора Цоя.

@dump_stack На самом деле это висить в паблике, только сидов нет на данный момент :(

@rotharius @neauoire Here's one good one, though, from earlier this year, about Catalina: sigpipe.macromates.com/2020/ma

Big Sur locks down the system even further. I recommend not buying or using a Mac unless you're absolutely required to by your job. The platform has degraded slowly over the last 5 years, and rapidly over the last 2.

Apple has become an insatiable control freak and incompetent at the same time. Bugs galore, everything locked down. Bad combo.

@vfrmedia It's because they're reading Google's "how to make your website" faster guides all the time 😂

@dump_stack That's what I mean precisely - this photo is an obvious depiction of man-kissing-a-man 😂

Really good - CONSTANTLY WRONG: The Case Against Conspiracy Theories 👍

Brezhnev during a visit to Czechoslovakia. February 21, 1968 (six months before the invasion).

Isn't that photo punishable under non-traditional sexual relations law in Russia? 🙄

It's the same Deutche Bank that gladly helped launder billions of dirty money:
