In Soviet-era Kyiv, Ukrainian intellectuals used to commerce coveted samizdat reprints of Brodsky’s poems, reciting them at clandestine gatherings. However the affection wasn’t mutual. At a studying in 1992, lower than a 12 months into Ukraine’s existence as an impartial nation, Brodsky supplied a brand new poem titled “To the Independence of Ukraine.” “Farewell khokhols,” he intoned, utilizing a racial slur for Ukrainians. “We’ve lived col

What is at stake in Ukraine

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/04/16/what-is-at-stake-in-ukraine THE WAR is first of all about the fate of 44m Ukrainians. But in the shattered ruins of Mariupol and Kharkiv a worldview is also at stake. Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine to force it to renounce the West and to submit to the Kremlin. He believes that big countries should be free to dominate smaller ones. Ukraine counters that it will choose its own allies. With Western backing, it is affirming the universal principle that all countries are sovereign. Whoever prevails on the battlefield will win a fundamental argument about how the world should work. It matters, therefore, that off the battlefield this is an argument the West is losing. Most of the emerging world either backs Russia over its invasion or is neutral. Some countries depend on Russian arms, others feel a misplaced nostalgia for Soviet largesse, but many see the West as decadent, self-serving and hypocritical. And many more, even if they do not welcome t

Eben Upton expands on Raspberry Pi shortage

 https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/04/04/raspberry-pi-shortage-explained/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/production-and-supply-chain-update/   As you may have noticed, Raspberry Pi boards may get hard to get and/or be sold at excessive prices by some resellers. Eben Upton explains the reasons behind the Raspberry Pi Shortage and provides some recommendations to work around the shortage and high prices. Raspberry Pi Trading is still manufacturing around 500,000 Raspberry Pi boards or modules per month despite the global semiconductors shortage, and the issue they face is more of a demand shock than a supply shock with demand for Raspberry Pi products having increased sharply from the start of 2021 and remains unabated as the supply chain can not handle that extra demand at this time. That means distributors have backlogs in almost all products, and it takes time for customers to get their orders. Bots are also involved in making automatic purchases as soon as stock becom

The next microchip crisis will be bigger

https://www.axios.com/microchip-crisis-shortage-taiwan-tsmc-534f5cbb-e49b-4e16-8f9a-6229c08e1779.html The global chip shortage that's kept automobiles, iPads and game consoles in short supply is nothing compared to what could happen if the global economy's key maker of high-end microchips, based in Taiwan, is jeopardized. Why it matters: Till now, Washington's focus on the semiconductor shortage has centered on keeping products on shelves and car dealership lots stocked — but U.S.-China tensions, along with the threat of natural disasters, provide a recipe for an even broader economic crisis. What's happening: Right now, no U.S. company can manufacture the most advanced leading edge chips used in smartphones, laptops, servers, supercomputers, gaming consoles and other products. Instead, most of the supply for those chips are made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), and is concentrated in Asian countries. A Chinese ambassador to the U.S. rece

Putin’s Thousand-Year War

https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/12/putins-thousand-year-war By   Michael Hirsh , a senior correspondent at   Foreign Policy . Whether or not Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine ends any time soon, what is certain to continue is the Russian president’s abiding hatred and mistrust of the United States and other Western powers, which he believes left him no choice but to launch an unprovoked war. It’s not just Putin. These views are shared by the many Russian elites who have supported him for two decades. They have also been a chief reason for Putin’s domestic popularity—at least until recently, when his invasion ran into fierce resistance—even as he has turned himself into a dictator and Russia into a nearly totalitarian state reminiscent of the Soviet Union at its worst. It is an enmity worth probing in depth, if only to understand why Washington and the West almost certainly face another “long twilight struggle” with Moscow—in former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s words—rivaling
